It has been suggested recently by some of the newspapers, that the next session of the General Assembly take steps towards completing the work on the State house. There is certainly a need for this work to be finished and give the State Capitol a more imposing appearance, but how can this be done without increasing the State levy? The people who have to bear the tas burden are al ready complaining about high taxes, and nowo if it is increased their coin plaints will grow louder. If our lawmakers can devise a way to finish the Capitol building without increas ing the tax levy then by all means let the good work begin. There has been thousands of dollars thrown away on that building, but that was when the government was in other hands, nevertheless we are not now in a condition to add to our expendi tures, and will not be until we can get more for the products of the soil, and our other expenses reduced. We are perfectly willing that the city of Columbia have a modernly finished public building as one of the attractions to aid her in the pro gressive move she is making, but ve do not see the crying necessity in calling on the people throughout the State to help beautify that city at present. Some one has said that one-sixteenth of a mill will raise enough money to do the work. If that calculation be correct, suppose the cdilciais throughout the State dre.wing salaries, have those salaries reduced sufficiently to finish the State house, then the work can be done without adding any additional taxes on the people. It is all nice enough to icok upon magnificent structures, but it is another story to pay for them. Our State house an swers the purpose for which it is used, and the officials occupying it are con tent to remain therein as long as the good people of the State are willing; we do not believe one of them will resign on account of the building not being finished, nor do we think the present condition of the building will dampen the ardor of those patriots who aspire to State house honors. Let the State Capitol building be fin ished in the very best style without increasing the tax, and not otherwise. Those who have the power to vote away the people's money must have a greater regard for the condition of the iai~ys.than they have for the appearance of a puit>aluilding. President McKinley has about de cided to call for volunteers to go to the Philippines, and already his desk is full of applications for shoulder straps, but we do not see where there is much of a rish for the position of private. At the recruiting stations business is exceedingly dull and the probability is that Uncle Sam will have to issue an order to the exam ining officers to be less rigid so that :nen can be pr-ocured for the service. The city of Charleston is now un dering a political heat, politicians are fixing up the mayoralty slate and urg ing their respective favorite to sacri fice himself upon the altar of city politics. A very strong petition ask ing Mayor Smyth to stand for re election has been published, which is indeed, a nice compliment paid to that gentleman, because the petition was signed by a large portion of the business interests of the city. This element represent property and the material interests of the city general ly. Another element not being satis fied to keep waiting and to be class ed with the "outs" are urging Mr. James Seignious to reach out to grasp the Mayorality plum. Unlike the friends of Smyth, the friends of Seignious are not publishing peti tions, but are doing their persuading by delegations. Seignious says he does not believe in the petition prac tice, and Smyth does not want the to keep the position unless his con stituency give expression of a desire that they wish him to remain. 'Well, it is safer to predict the re election of Smyth than it is to bet on the "Shamrock" taking the cup backto Erope Harry Lesesne Heard fromR Again. Editor THE 'r-.Es: I guess as I heard nothing to the contrary you have published my two former letters, so presuming upon that, I shall venture you another short one. I shall probably be home by the time you publish this, for there is so much malaria floating around down here in South Georgia that a man from our delightfully healthy town would scarely be expected to stay here any more than lie was obliged to. Georgia has been all stirred up with crimes during the past few weeks. Almost every paper you pick up is full of double-head-lined arti cles about some outrage or murder or shooting scrape. I doubt if there is a State in the South that can equal this State for crime. But there are well-known reasons for this. Geor gia is the largest State, it is claimed, east of the Mississippi river, and cou tains about 140 counties. The pro portion of negro population to the white population is fully as great, if not greater than in our State, and many of the negroes down here are the scum of the two Carolinas. Lum ber and turpentine, of course, are great interests, and negro labor is used mostly to work them. Every winter about January turpentine and lumber men go from here into the two Carolinas hunting labor, and the class they get is usually that class wh'j are trifling and will not work at home. They come out here and get pretty good wages at a mill or on a turpentine farm, and when they get a little money, say fifteen to forty dol lars ahead, they go crazy and usually wind up in a shooting scrape if they escape being swung to a limb for a more horrible crime. The world will never know the heinous details of the crime committed by Sam Hose, who was burned to a pine tree, or the people of that section would not be so severely condemned. The details of his crime were too horrible to be even intimated, much less told. I be lieve Sam Hose was a Georgia negro, and that old preacher Strickland, it is claimed, was in with him and it is said had a bet -with Hose that he could not accomplish what he did. Sam Perry, who is wanted and will be lynched when caught for foully murdering one white man and se verely wounding another in a cow munity about fifty miles west of Sa vannah, is an emigrant from Darling ton county, South Carolinq. It is also terribly demoralizing to negroes to come down here from Car olina and work a year and then go back home. A good per cent of the assault and battery cases in our courts are negroes returned from Georgia. You take the average negro from our State or North Carolina and let him come down here and make a little money and be gets too big to contain himself. Let him go back home with fifteen or twenty dollars after his year's experience in Geor gin, cariying a deck of cards and a pistol, his hair shaved all around his ears and a long patch on top in the middle, two leather bands around his wrists and a ring in one ear, and then he is just as good for the penitentiary or the chaingang as ten cents is for a drink of whiskey or a glass of beer in a Charleston restaurant under the present city government. I have been down here on this trip two months, but doubt if I have been over more than one-third of the State. During that time I have seen a good many kinds of people and stopped at a good mnany kinds of hotels. Of course a man never gets any more than what he pays for, but if he could always get all that he paid for, he would fare first rate. A trav elling man seems never to be entitled to any courtesies or favors. Every ody expects him to have plenty of money and its pay for everything you get, even to the smallest favor. This I guess is the case almost every where. In travelling around, a man some times strikes some awful "joints" cal ling themselves hotels. I1 heard a drummer say a few days ago that he stopped at a place where the bill of fare was "pluck, liver and light" you had to have pluck to eat the liver, or light out of the hotel. I have heard of beef being so tough that you could'nt cut the gravy. One might put up with that, but there are some things which are worse. I struck a place myself a few days ago and had to pay for lodging that made an im pression upon mind and body. Oh my! W~hat vivid recollections I have of that night, trying to combat with sleep the attacking myriads, to all appearances organized and officered by battallions and regiments. How vividly I could describe that memor able night, but I refrain. Watermelons are plentiful down here and have been for two or three weeks. They are being shipped by the car load, but by the time the cit ron fleshed Kolb jems reach the north ern markets after two or three days on the road, I do not imagine they are particularly delightful. I have told you that Georgia was a great State, and so it is, but after all there are no people in this country like our South Carolina people The genial warmth that pervades South Carolinians is refreshing after one has been thrown for sometime among folks who are cold blooded and put all devotion in the almighty dollar. The folks down here are good folks, Z-ut after all it is a case of "every one for himself and Satan catch the hind most man. H. L. Lovett (a white place in the road) Ga., June 27. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other dise.ases pnt to. gether, and until the last tnw years w.is snpposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu tional disease, and therefore requires con stitutional treatment. Ihall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & . o , Tt'l edo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and oneous sur faces of the system. They offer one hun dred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circnlars and testimonials. Ad dress, F. J.

(From our Roegular Correspondent Washington, June 30.-One of the first acts of Mr. McKinley after his return to Washington was to order the persecution of Admiral cliley by the Sampson clique in the navy de partment stopped. He did nut d1o so because of any love he had for Schley, but because of statements publicly made by Maryland Republicans that they intended to hold the adminis tration responsible for the navy de partment's treatment of Schley. That frightened Mr. McKinley, who is by no meaos as confident of his re-elec tion as some other Republicans pro fess to be. And, in addition to or dering a let up on Schley, Mr. Mc Kinley sent for ex-Postmaster Gen eral Gary and asked him to hell) keep Maryland in line. Uul:ss 31aryland ets who ought to know are off in their judgment, nothing will prevent Maryland returning to its old place in the Democratic column. In his anxiety to remain in the cabinet, notwithstanding his deal with Governor Pingree, who every body knows is not an admirer either of Mr. McKinley or of his adminis tration, Secretary Alger is getting foxey. In order to jolly Mr. McKin ley, he publicly said that his deal with Pingree was solely for the pur pose of obtaining the senatorship and was not binding on either for any other purpose; that he was a McKin ley man from start to finish and was prepared to prove it at any time that it might i ecome necessary, by break ing with Piugree, if lie should show any disposition to antagonize Mr. McKinley in Michigan. How much of this Mr. McKinlev swallows no body knows, but it is certrin that Al ger has undertaken a difficult role. It is known that Senators MeMillan and Burrows are hard fighters and that they will demand that Alger be put out the cabinet, and their demand will be backed by many Republicans whom Mr. McKinley will not care to oflend. Besides, it is believed that Pingree is only using Alger to try to get even with Senator McMillan, and considered by no means certain that he would allow Alger to go to the Senate even if he succeeded in con trolling the Michigan Legislature. Nothing could more surely prove the deception practiced by the ad ministration concerning the situation in the Philippines than the orders is sued this week to all the regular re cruiting officers to enlist as many vol unteers as may present themselves for service in the Philippines, and the official announcement that Gen eral Otis is to have an army of 40,000 men by the end of the rainy season. In order to keep the appointment of all the officers in the handis of the ad ministration, no organizations are to be enlisted. The men are to enlist as individuals and the regiments to be formed will be United States Vol unteers. Although the announce ment was made at the same time that all the officers for these regiments would be chosen from the volunteers who have seen service in the Philip pines, it is a safe bet that they will not be. Ex-Congressmnan Campbell of Illinois, who is now in Washing ton, tells his friends that he has been promised the colonelcy of one regi ment, and he hasn't seen any service in the Philippines; and tbere will be others. "Making a virtue of necessity," said a senator, "is what I call the an - nouncement of Thurston of Nebraska that he would retire from the Senate at the end of his term. Knowing that neither he nor any other Repub lican has any show to be elected to the Senate by the Nebraska Legis lature, Thuiston concluded to save some of the big wad of corporation money he has by not entering the field as a candidate. His talk about being tired of holding office was merely a little grand stand play." The adage, "Make hay while the sun shines," appears to have been changed by the inventors of the country into "Make money wvhile the mercury rist.s." The weekly receipts of the patent office are now averaging $5,000 more than they did in the summer of last year, and this week's issue of patents, tr-ade-marks and la bels was the greatest since April, 1890, the total being 633. Secretary Long made public a signed statement, dealing with a ru mor that he had made a statement to the cabinet deploring the killing of Filipinos without provocation and the looting of private houses in paci fied communities, knowledge of which he claimed to have acquired from let ters from sailors, that was as extraor dinary for what it didn't say as was his open invitation to Schley, a day or two before, to ask for a paced court. of inquiry, in an authorized in terviewv. Although he knows that he is credited with lack of sympathy with the Philippine policy of the ad ministration, he did not say a word in the statement, written for a paper he knew to be friendly to him, per sonally as well as politically. He didn't even deny that he had protest ed, at a cabinet meeting, against the Philippine policy, but merely said that he had never received any letters from sailors, either about looting or about firing on peaceable natives in the Philippines. If he couldn't say more, he would better not have said anything. The country is already surfeited with statements that do not tell all the truth and denials that do not deny.____ A Womian's Letter.

The annual meeting of the Wo man's Foreign Missionary Society of South Carolina Conference was held at the hospitable towD of McColl, S. C., June 28th to July 2nd, 1899, pre sided over by our esteemed presi dent, Mrs. Wightman. The town is composed of two or three thousand inhabitants, by whom the delegates were handsome lv entertained. Business sessions were held morning and afternoon with an intermission of an hour or more, during which a bounteous lunch was served. Evening services were devotional and interspersed with songs, profitable talks; also in teresting papers read on missionary work. Rev, Cauthen is pastor of the church and Is to be congratulat ed on having charge of the people of McColl. A reception was held on Saturday afternoon in honor of the delegates and visitors at the beautiful home of Mrs. T. B. Gibson and were royally entertained. On Sunday morning Rev. R. E. Stackhouse preached a very forcible sermon on missionary work. Too much praise cannot be given the people of McColl. Those who were so fortunate as to attend will have occasion to think of that town as being the garden spot of Marl boro county will long be remem bered. Last but not least, every delegate will go away filled with enthusiasm to do better work in future, that each may fill her place in the build ing which-we are erecting.

[janlay Faclions. Political factions represent divis ions, and divisions indicate strife and a want of unity of sentiment and pur pose in governmental questions. We cannot expect all persons to see all questions in the same light, nor can we reasonably expect all persons to fully comprehend the truth in any department of thought, but when persons of tne same general political party become divided into factions, it represents factional spirited people and generally expresses character which is morally as well as theoretic aly wrong. etionalism in South Carolina in the Degocraltic party for the last few years has lgeen one of the misfortunes of our State history. Conditions have been taken advantage of by de signinug politicians and factionalism has been generafed and developed perhaps as never heft re in all the his tory of State politics. But waves of political influences, somewhat like waves of the seas, reach their zeniths and boundary lines and soon or late must break and lose their force, and factionalism has evidently been rec ognized as a commlon evil; and the more intelligent and couservative minded among the masses really want peace. Occasionally some nar row-minded, little-spirited man tries to fan up the old flame of factionial ism, perhaps for some persorml gain that he imagines may come to him, but the great majority of peop)le want peace and harmony, and will no lon ger cot. sent to be subordinate to the plans of political sharpers. Governor Ellerbe labored hard to suppress factionalism, and doubtless contributed much towards putting it down. One of the largest stars in his political crown will be for having ex erted his influence towards over throwing the~ great evil in South Carolina. If we understand Governor M& Sweene, be, too, will labor to ignore all factional lines and only strive for~ the general good of the people of our: State. He has the reputation of be-' ing not only a sensible man, but of moving up~on a high moral phgne, practically advocating those broad, generous principles which demhud general resp~ect among men, the tap proval of God, and which in thieir very nature contribute to the general good of humanity. In any form of gneaol gnovenmant there are political questions which recessarilv interest and to some ex tent agitate the minds of those con cerned. There are generally different political parties representing different views. This is very natural and rea sonable, but factionalism is on a dif ferent plane. While it assumes the task of settling political questions, it is very largely grounded upon pref erences and prejudices in regard to individuals, and does harm rather than contribute to the help of gov ernment. One of the hopeful signs of our time is a growing aversion among the masses to factionalistm. The longer we live and the more we think, the rore we are inclined to the belief that all organiz.itions or principles which tend to encourage narrowness or clannishness are a curse to humanity rather than a blessing. It does not make any difference whether the organization is included technically in wh.at is called the church or not, nor does it make anmy difference whether or riot it boasts of being foun del upon this or that Bi ble principle, if it tends to make its adherents clannish, it is a curse.
