The way that old Charleston is herself showing the great fair is plc pressing the rest of the State and it will d, a ie ithstillt to make this appropriation, not for the sake of helping Charles ton. but for the sake of advanc ing a project intended to place our States resources befo e the entire world aud one that will return many fold good results.

Perhaps the greatest question of national importance now be fore the country and affecting the gov-ernments' future policy is the question before the supreme court to decide whether- citizen ship shall be extended to the natives of Pot-to Rico and the Philippine Islands, or in other words, whethImer possession shall mean citizenship and the consti tution immediately follow the flag. Without saying anything as to the policy of land grabbing, vet in tile present condition in so far as we al-c ab~le to judge we are somewhat on the side of the gov-ernment. It has never vet been the policy of the govern ment that the constitution im mediately follow the flag, as not able examples all of out- Indian tr-ibes, the citizens of Alaska and the other terr-itor-ies, and those of the District of Columbia. When our country was born the flag came first, but it was some little time before the con stitution got her-e. and a very consider-able tue before it ex tenided to both rac-es in the South. We wouild not p)esumle to ad vise our delegation in the Leigis lature how ther- should vote ont any subject, but we hopne tihey will look car-fullv into a bill which has been intr-odu-ed and which is calculated to very rmadically change the present p~ublic school syste-m.

The General Assembly has been in session one week. and the time was taken up in getting organized, appoint ing committees and other necessary ad juncts to the formation of a law making bodv. There are many new men in the'lower house. and most of them are young men. just what will be done is hard to forecast at this time. Of one thing I feel sure. there will be no ex tremie or sensational legislation. The general feeling here, is to have a snort, session. and if the late decision (: the supreme court does not make it neces sary for the repealing of much special legislation, then I see no reason why we can not finish in twerty live days. So far nothing of local interest has occurred. and the Senator has been ap nointed on some very important com mittees. that will keep him busy. In the lower house Representative Rich ardson was assigned to the following committees: Accounts, Commerce and Manufactures, enrolled Acts: Repre sentative Woods on Federal relations and Medical affairs: and Representa tive Galluchat. commitee on claims: all of these committees are important and will give each of them work. In this connection I will state that in last weeks issue of THE TIMES, which by the way was one that I feel exceeding ly proud of. my reference to the legis lative delegation meeting with the county commissioners I stated that Rep resentatives Richardson and Woods disclaimed any knowledge of the ap pointment of the new board, which was correct. but I omitted to state that Representative Galluchat was present andl said that lie was a new member and had not had an opportunity to in form himself as to whether the appoint ment of the board of county commis sers was a matter for the Senator or the deleitation. that he had dothing to do with the recommendation, but at the same time he had no objection to thle gentlemen~l appointed. I mention this. because it was not my purpose to leave Mr. GAalluchat out of my report of he conunmissione'rs meeting. We had a visit from Clerk of Court Tininons. who came with a petition signed by several hundred citizens from all sect ions of the county. askiniz htor the revteal of an Act which I had paeed at the last session. putting the clerk's utimee onl a sailary. Tne purlI tose of the bill was to put money in our couty reauryand helpto lighten our Sthe fees of his otlice have heen so redced ti.. I doubt myself if the amount saved wvill be worth making the chang. When I introduced the measure 1 was morally certain the uo ie paid oiver $2000 per~ year. and at oie time it paid nearly $3000. but Mr. Tinunmons' books shotw a tremendous faling off. caused by the reduction of fees. I have not had time yet to dis uss this matter with the delegation. butt whether we desire it or not, the supreme court recently declared that sch a law is in conflict with the State constitution, and that being the case we are forced to have that law repealed. but what we can put in its place that will not be obstructed by the constitu tion. the delegation will yet have to determine. Our representatives are attending to their duties, and Mr. Galluchat who is a new member, will in my opinion, be fore the session is over become one of most useful mnembers of that body. He is painstaking and studious, and is making many friends among his asso etates. As vet we have not received an offi iatl statement from the supervisor, and therefore are unable to say what will be done about our county levy. If. however the expenditures are as great as the estimate given us I fear very much that we will be unable to give the people a reduction, because it would be folly to reduce and pile on debt, nevertheless we hope to see our way clear to cut down the levy. The entire delegation is anxious forthis. Next Thursday the elections will come off, and the position our people are watching with much interest. is that of State Librarian, because one of Clarendon's most beloved daughters is a condidate. Elections before a Gener al Assembly. are to some extent as un ertain as a county primary, often the most worthy are defeated, and ini this race uncertainty prievails. Miss Barron has a host of friends, but the trouble is, there arc other excellent ladies from vaious count ies. who have many friends also. and they are working, not to encompass Miss Barron's defeat, but to secure tihe prize fox' the one they are advocting. Ihave taken a great interest in this tight and if there is any chance to rowni (larendon's daughter with suc ess I shall leave no stone unturned to accomlish it, and if she is successful I shall feel prould. I can say that unless there are many changes a car'eful can vass of the situation shows Miss Bairron to have a lead over all the othexs, with a possibility of being elected on first baillot. but in all priobatbilityv it will take more than one ballot to reach a result as a majoxrity rules.

Corporal Pickering Heard From. Malolos, P. I., Nov. 25, 1900. Mr. Louis Appelt. Manning, S. C. DEAR SIR: I mail under separate cover this day a copy of the Manila Freedom and the Manila Times. I am enjoying the very best of health at the present time and will only be too glad if I can hold my health. I have one year and a little over six months to serve. I get my discharge June 5th. 1902. A great many of the people in the States think all the trouble with the Insurgents is over here in the Philip pines, but it is all a mistake. Lieut. Lewis (second Lieut. "L" Co.. Third Infantry) went out yesterday with a de tachment of ""F" and "L" Co. down the river in bancos and about noon ran into a band of Insurgents.. One man from "F" Co. was killed instantly and two men from "L" Co. were wounded be fore they could get to the shore. The two wounded men are getting on very well today. This is the way it is all over the islands every day in the year, the Insurgents attack small bands of soldiers. I have been so fortunate as to not be in but one skirmish since landing and hope it will be the only one. We have been here in Malolos ever since February 4th. Malolos is about twenty-three miles north of 31anila. on the railroad run ning from Manila to Dagupan. This road is only 123 miles in length. It is a narrow gauge road and the locomotives .ndl cars are of a rude stucture and run at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. The conductor in receiving tickets from the passengers passes from one coach to the other on a long line of steps on the outside of the car. andl at the same time sulpports himself by grasping an iron rod which is on a line with the window sills. On the 18th inst. I was promoted from a private to corporal. The rainy sea soni is over and it is becoming very dry. Hoping you will get the p~apers o. k., I remain Youxs truly. ('HARLEs W.

The law authorizing them was never intended to be acted under and never will be. Everybody knows this and it was simply a waste of time and money to negotiate the dozen or more treaties that are now doomed to defeat in the Senate. Can au law be framed that will re strict the South for suppressing the negro vote and not restrict the North for suppressing the foreign non-natu ralized vote? If it can. why should it be? If a non-voting negro is allowed no representation, why should a non voting foreigner be allowed ity Did you ever think of that? When Solicitor General Richards said, in his argument in the Supreme Court, that Ex-President Harrison "af fected to believe" certain things, he did a gross wrong to Mr. Harrison and should have been rebuked by the court. Whether right or wrong, Mr. Harrison is not a man who "affects to believe" anything. Queer Oaths. The Isle of Man, like the soldier in Jacque's familiar speech, is "full of strange oaths." Mr. Shee, Q. C., before beginning his judicial duties as special commissioner in connection with the Dunbell case was required to swear that he would administer justice as impartially "as the herring's backbone doth lie in the middle of the fish." The Isle of Man is not the only place in the world in which the animal kingdom plays a part In the making of oaths. One of the many modes in which Chi nese witnesses are impressed with the importance of telling the truth is slicing off the head of a fowl, a cere mony which is supposed to represent the unhappy fate of the perjurer. Many Indian witnesses were sworn on tigers' skins, in the belief that If they defile their lips witi lies their bodies will become food for tigers, while others stand on lizards' skins and ask that their bodies shall be covered with the scales of the reptiles if they fail to tell the truth. A Ncrwegian witness asks that his meadows and cattle shall be cursed if ho swears falsely. "Cursed be my cattle," he exclaims, "my beasts, my sheep, so that after this day they may never thrive or benefit me; yea, cursed may I be and everything I; pos sess."-London Globe. Knew He Loved Her. Mrs. Duncan Stewart described Lady Beaconsfield as originally a factory girl. Mr. Lewis first saw her going to her factory, beautiful and with bare feet. He educated her and married her, died and left her very rich, and then she married Disraeli. When ask ed why she married her second hus band, she would say, as if it was a feather in her cap, "My dear, he made love to me while my first husband was alive, and therefore I knew that he really loved me." - Augustus J. C. Hare's Recollections. Take Your Choice. The Buddhists believe that happi ness, Nirvana, consists in self efface ment, oblivion. The young Buddhas began life by sitting unsupported in the air just after birth. Their motheru attained Nirvana immediately, and they, the Buddhas, reached Nirvana in various queer ways. One earnest Buddha, one of the earli est of the long line, earned the "Nibbu ta" as follows: A hawk was about to devour a small bird. Said the Buddha to the bird of prey: "I beseech thee, leave this little crea ture in peace. I will give thee its weight from my own flesh." Down from heaven came a pair of scales, and the transaction was accom plished. The small bird sat on one side of the scales, and the Buddha began putting slices of his body into the other side, while the bird of prey looked on with an evil eye. As the Buddha carv ed himself up the little bird seemed to get heavier and heavier. The beam of the scales did not move until the last particle of the saint's body was put in the scales. The Buddhists' legends do not tell how the saint managedl to carve up his last few fragments, but that is not im portant. Which do you think was hap pier, the Buddha who entered into Nir vana as the little bird flewv away or the bird of prey that made a hearty meal of the saint's fiesh and. sailed off de lighted with his bargain?-New York Journal. Cobwebs and Cuts. An old time remedy to stop blood flowing from a cut is to put cobweb. over it, but from recent discovery it ap pears a dangerous thing to do. Some time ago a woman fell and cut her head, and when her friends hurried to her assistance they found the blood flowing from a deep gash. Cobwebs were applied, and the bleeding quickly stopped, but in a few days the woman was taken with lockjaw. A scientist declared there were lock jaw germs in cobwebs, and that was the way the woman contracted the dis ease. lie has made quite a study of the subject and says that in a handful of cobwebs he found 61 different dis ease germs. That being true, it is v-ery easy to see how one could get not only lockjaw, but many other dreadful dis eases, as the cobweb is placed right on an open wound and the germs can en ter the blood. Cobwebs form in dark, dirty places, and it is not to be won dered that they gather germs. - Ex change. The Log of a Ship. A ship's log is an instrument for measuring the rate at which the vessel Is going' and consists of three parts viz, the log chip, the log line and the log glass. The principle is simply this: A light substance thrown from the vessel ceases to partake of the motion of the vessel as soon as it strikes the water and will be lcft behind on the surface after a certain interval. If the distance of the ship from this station ary object be measured, the approxi mate rate of sailing will be given. The log chip is the float, the log line is the measure of the distance, and the log glass defines the interval of time. In the old days the heaving of the log required skill and watchfulness, but since the patent log has come into use no skill is required In finding the speed of a vessel. It is regurlated by clock work, and the number of knots the yes sel sails per hour is recorded on the dial without any hand touching it. Not Quite Clear.

"have so jeered our advertising outrages upon architecture and s.2enery that I fancied we were of all t:.ation: most culpable. But after a season's residence in England I hold America excused. Our advertising efforts are modest, evEn feeble. beside those of our British cousins. "A London bus is a mere advertis Ing van with accommodations for pas sengers. It takes almost as long to read one through as to read a daily paper. The destination of the bus is marked In inconspicuous letters, the smallest on the canvas decorated ve hicle, and the chances of disentangling those letters from the maze of adver tising announcements about them in time to hail the bus you want are small er still." Blamed the Planets. In the middle of the fourteerth .:en tury in Paris a new ordinance er join ing the cleansing of the streets and the shutting up of swine was carefully neglected, as usual, and a terrible plague was the consequence. The fac ulty of medicine, called upon for a rem edy by the king. sent to inrorm him after long discussion that the plague was the result of a hostile conjunction of the planets Mars and Jupiter.

HARBY.I Sumer, SC., January. 14. 1901.I BRING YOUR JOB WORK TO THE TINES OFFICE. TAX RETURNS. OFFICEF COUNTY AUI)ITOR. CLARENDON COUNTY. Manning. S. C.. Dec. 26. 1900. The Auditor's office will be open from the first day of January, 1901. to the twentieth day of February, 1901, tc ceive returns of real estate and per sonal property in Clarendon County for the year 1901. The Auditor will be at the following places in person on the dates mentioned to receive returns: Wilson's, Thursday. January 17th, 1901. Alcolu, Friday, January 18th, 1901. W. M. Youmans'. Saturday, January 19th, 1901. Saul's Store, Monday. January 21st. 1901. New Zion, Tuesday, January 22d, 1901. S. C. Turbeville's Store, Wednesday, January 23rd, 1901. J. F. McFaddin's Store, Thursday. January 24th, 1901. McIntosh's Store, Midway township, Friday, January 25th. 1901. Taxpayers return what they own en the first day of January, 1901. All real estate and personal property must be returned this year. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each-party for the township the prop erty is in, and where the taxpayers owns realty. to insert the postoffice as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property, to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the taxpayer as well as the County Treasurer in making the collections and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and sixty years on the first day of January, 1901, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. This does not apply to Confederate soldiers over fifty years of age. All the returns that are made after the twentieth day of February will have a penalty of 50 per cent. added thereto, unless out of the county during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, etc., and their value that there is in the county. and have same on file in the Comptroller General's office by the thirtieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of Octo ber each year the Auditor and Treas urer's duplicate has to be completed and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's office by that time, which will show at a glance that the Auditor has no time to take in returns or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of Octo ber each year but work on the books and blanks. Therefore I hope that all taxpayers will do me the favor of mak ing their returns in time. E. C. DICKSON, Auditor Clarendon County. 41-3t] a FURNITURE -:" -: CHINAWARE.
