The only men in Charleston who do not wish to see this county in ac cord with the rest of the State are those who hope to thrive on State pap, and who would have no oppor tunity of enjoying this succulent ar ticle were they to depend upon their own merits.-Charleston Post. And this from the Post. Well! an honest confession is good for the soul. When we used to charge that it was the politicians who, for selfish pur poses, refused to be in accord with the people of the State, the Post rather resented the assertion. We are glad that its eyes have at last been opened to the real existing con ditions, and that it sees the wrong which Is being inflicted upon Char leston county by her own political pirates. To say that it is "those who hope to thrive on State pap" destroys the essence of the charge, because those who are thriving on "State pap" in that city are without any power whatsoever to mould po litical action in Charleston county, and they are thereby powerless to put Charleston "in accord with the rest of the State," or out of "accord with the rest of the State." Nevertheless Charleston has been for several years out of harmony with the "rest of the State," and it has proven detrimental to her business and political interests. This sad state of affairs is the result of the manipulations of "the only men in Charleston who do not wish to see this county in accord with the rest of the State are those who thrive" on keeping up a constant irritation because it is to their personal inter est to keep city and State apart, and if they loosened their grip and al lowed the city and State to come to gether to work for a common inter est it would not be long before those "who would have no opportunity of enjoying this succulent article were they to depend upon their own mer its" would be jobless. Keep up the fight so nobly begun, esteemed contemporary, and the work will arouse your readers to wake up and scrape off the barnacles which have fastened themselves to the political ship and thereby ob structed her from keeping abreast in the progressive -race. Let Charles ton get in "accord with the rest of the State" and it will not be long be fore trade will pour into her markets from all sections of this common wealth._____ ___ LThe cost of the war with Spain will probably reach $280,000,000, and the revenues fall short of the expendi tures. The cost of the wars of the world since the Crimean war has been $18,265,000,000, or enough to give $10 to every man, woman and child on the globe. Senator John L. McLaurin appear ed in the New York Herald recently with a concise and forceful state ment of the race problem in the South. He informs the nation of the true condition of affairs in North and South Carolina, the outrages of carpet-bag rule and what North Carolina has endured, until patience ceased to be a virtue. We repro duce our junior Senator's paper on the fourth page this week. It will be a source of gratification to learn that the Charleston Post has at last consented to permit Charles ton to become a part of the State once more, and the delegation from the unreconstructed city will con sider all legislation on its merits and not from a partisan standpoint. The Charleston delegation, according to the Post, will not oppose "adminis tration measures," but will aid the administration in all of its measures which they find meritorious, all of which is very nice, and a hopeful sign that reason and common sense will once more have its way with that brainy delegation. President McKinley's second an nual message which was sent to Con gress M'onday is a very long and dry document, dealing with the war be tween the United States and Spain, and makes no recommendation, ex cept that careful deliberation be giv en to the important subject. Aside from the war the paper deals consid erably with foreign affairs; our inter ests abroad and our relations with Europe are carefully reviewed. The President touches on many points of national interest, and he makes but few recommendations. It is a well prepared instrument, conservative in tone and will receive more than or dinary attention on account of the new conditions in American history arising out of our present foreign at titude. ________ Little Alphonso has been held up by Uncle Sam and forced to relin quish his hold on the Philippines. "All's fair in love and war," and as Uncle Sam set out to lick Alphonso for "humanity sake, and coming out winner in the scheme, it is but fair that he should receive recompense for. is "humane" labor, and the Philippines, being a fine field to pay political debts with official pap, he throws Alphonso over the fence and pokes $20,000,000 through the cracks to sooth the little fellow's lascerated feelings. Spain has accepted the American proposition very much as a victim looking down the gun bar rel of a pisto' in the hands of a bur glar whose terms are, "your valua bles or your life." The Philippines are ours and so was the elephant the man's, who bought him cheap at the auction and he wore out his exist ence wondering, "what wlll I do with it?" We are very much afraid that some day, when the crowns of Eu rope are beginning to wear loosely upon the heads of the monarchs, a conclusion will be reached that the United States licked Spain for hu manity sake, took Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines for greed sake, and that European monarchies must. combine to lick the United Stafes for their crown's sake. The taking of the Philippines will involve this government into complications which will require a tremendous navy and army, and it is a question whether the returns from the newly acquired possessions will pay back into the treasury the vast outlay which will be necessary to maintain the force needed at these varioud points. The whole upshot of the business is a larger navy and an in creased standing army, which means more ships and government con tracts for political favorites, posi tions for the payment of political debts and heavier taxes for.the mass es to struggle on under their burden of low prices for produce and labor. The anti-dispensary advocates are advising the Prohibitionists to join hands with the high license men to destroy the dispensary. Will they do it? If they do, what will become of their boasted "religious principle'e" The Prohibitionists stood before the people upon a principle which ad mits of no compromise with the ad vocates of license. Suppose when the Legislature meets Charleston's high license men, and Richland's high license men, caucus and pledge to vote prohibition if the Prohibi tionists will not vote for high license; what a spectacle such a combination would present before the General As sembly. In our opinion the Prohibi tionists will stand pat with no expec tation of winning at this session, but encouraged with the magnificent vote given to their leader in the pri mary, they will take their cause be fore the people again. The Columbia State is opposed to the dispensary, so is the Charleston Post and so is the News and Courier; all of them favor license. These pa pers are in the two largest cities in the State, where the enforcement of the law has never been seriously at empted, except recently in Colum bla Mayor Lipscomb has done a lit le something in that direction. The pposition of these city papers to thel ispensary is not in favor of prohibi-l ion,because they oppose prohibition s well, but it is to bring back the ld bar-room system made under the ~uise of local option with high li ense. If the Legislature were to grant lo al option with high license it would imply mean that Charleston, Co umbia and a few other whiskey con roled towns would vote themselves into the license system and the old ar-rooms that now are hidden be ind closed doors would open up as n the days before the advent of the ispensary. But these advocates of local option and high license will say those who are granted license will iee that the liquor law is not vio lated and the city authorities will nforce the law." We admit that the iity authorities will see to it that no iquor is sold 'without a license, but we know that the city authorities will not attempt to enforce the dis ensary restrictionis. The result will e that once a license is obtained from the city authorities to a private ndividual, the whole moral force of the dispensary law is destroyed, The anti-dispensary advocates, in their desire to destroy the dispensary, will not agree to submit the question to the people, that they might say 'Dispensary" or "Prohibition." Oh, o, unless Charl.eston and Richland :an get the special privilege of "high license" added. With "high license" added for Charleston and Richland the strong anti-dispensaryites would join with anything to have the ques tion submitted. In other words, those two cities want the privilege of selling whiskey and will resort to any means to accomplish the pur pose. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Deafness Cannot, Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamiation can tbe taken out and this tube restored to its nor mali condition, hearing will be destroyed forver; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CEEEY & Co., Toledo, 0.

TIMES: Things are taking on new life in the Pine Grove section, especially in church and school matters. Messrs. Smith and DuBose are giving some of their best work to the church building with paint and brush, mak ing a beautiful structure still more beautiful; and after a few more days of sunshine have passed over we shall indeed have something to feast our eyes upon. Neither has the school building been forgotten, for we now have an attractive open porch in front, surmounted by a handsome bell tower. It was with pleasure and with thankful hearts that we all assem bled to hold a Thanksgiving service on last Thursday, for truly if any community has reason to be thank ful for showers of blessings that com munity is Pine Grove. The main feature of the exercises was an ad dress by Prof. C. B. Smith of Wof ford College. He made some very forcible hits, and his words were such as to arouse greater efforts along all lines of intellectual and moral im provement. A careful observer can already see some of the good effects of his address, and it is hoped that we can have him with us again soon to give us some more of his soul-stir ring words. Rev. W. E. Wiggins, our pastor here on New Zion circuit, goes to the annual conference at Greenwood next week. ' Of course it is not cer tainly known that he will be our pastor another year, but we believe and hope that be will, for he has made many friends during his year's stay among us, and has found his way into the hearts of many of his people. We long to see his pleasant face and have him look in upon us occasionally to cheer us up when things are not exactly right. Cold weather is upon us and many hearts are made glad, for cold weath er generally brings fresh meat, and you know what that means. Hom iny is all right, but, of course, is made better by "hog," as almost any of us can testify. And then take with this, "Sweet pertaters in de pan, Sweetes' libin' in de Ian'." There is some talk of organizing a literary society among the young people of the community. We need just such an organization hero to im prove ourselves in expressing our ideas in fit language and to become better acquainted with parliament ary usage. Of course our library, which is now well under way, will aid us very much in such an undertak ing. P. Pine Grove, Dec. 2, 1898. Life is full of checks, and many of them are forgeries.
