The St. Louis exposition author
lties will ask the South Carolina
Legislature for an appropriation for
a State exhibit at the exposition to
to ' ? held in that city in 1903.
There is no doabt but that an exhibit
at the exposition would advertise
South Carolina's resources,
but, judging by former experiences,
it is very probable thnt the
authorites will fail to secure the
appropriation.

One of the important features
of the apnual report of the secretary
of war deals with the question
of a reorganization of the national
guard of the country. Secretary
Root will make recommendations
looking to bringing the
State troops and regulars together
in joint manoeuvres on the great
camp grounds of instruction to be
provided and he will also make
recommendations for giving mili4lO
oora A?
>><> iiuitftiiD c?njr ini'iiiiy 10 secure ]
thejpractical training and instruction
of ragular army officers. This,
however, does not touch the special
subject of a reorganization of the
militia by which they will be of
greater value to the national government
in time of war and by
which their relation to the national
fjovernmeut will bo more clearly
defined. That question has remained
undetermined for a hundred
years or more, and every attempt
to secure legislation defining
the j relations between the State
militia and the national government
nas met with failure when
brodght before Congress. Secretary*
Root will not, thorefore, make
the knistake. of favoring any particular
plap of reorganization
which brings about friction bc|wi't
n the war department officials
and the officers of State organize*

Mormcnism in South Carolina.
T
The I^ormouB are beginning to
work South Carolina again, says
the Columbia Record. The upper
part of the State has now seyeral
missions, and plans are being
laid for an active campaign all
over the State. President B. E.
Rich, of the Southern Mormon
Association, has returned from a
visit to the West, where he went
to confer with the high church
dignitaries and lny plans for the
raising of money for the work.
The headquarters of the president
are in Chattanooga, Tenn.,
and thero will be several vice-prosidents,
each with a statement of
his territory.
In an interview with a reporter
of the Chattanooga News the president
said that the Mormon trouble
in Georgia some time ago had, instead
of hurting the cause, heloed
it wonderfully, and the new plane
mapped out by the Mormon authorities
would systematize the
work and results would be better.
It seems that already there is
trouble in store for them, however,
in this State, as the following card,
signed by many prominent residents,
appeared in the Saluda
Sentinel of last week:
"We, the undersigned citizens
of Saluda county do hereby heartily
endorse the action of citizens
of our community, who, on November
8th, 1901, went in person to
the two Mormon elders who wore
sojourning in the Higgins ferry
section of our county and gave
them notice to leave the county
forthwith and never again to return,
and who were informed that
if ever they or any other Mormon
elders ever again came into that
community they would be dealt
with in a summary manner. We
also endorse the action of the
aforesaid citizens for giving notice
to the few Mormon followers of
our community that they would
be held personally responsible for
the return of any Mormon elders
to that section, or for harboring or
entertaiuing Morman elders in the
future."
THe Negro's Position in the North.
Tho Commoner.
It whs to have been expectod
that Northern papers would wax i
wroth and grow bitterly sarcastic
in replying to Southern strictures
upon the Pregidept for entertain- '
ing Booker T. Washington at dinner.
But the Southern papers are *
replying by asking some pertinent J
questions and citing some perti
nent facts. They point out tho <
faot that Northern love for the ,
negro is confined to election day. t
How many business offices in the
North employ negro clerks? How <
many negro traiuraeu are employed
on Northern railways? ]
How many negroes have been np- i
pointed to postmasterships in the f
north? How many Northern States
have elected negro Senators or
Congressmen? How many negro
mechanics are employed in North- 1
ern mills and factories along side 1
white mechanics? North he is 1
limited to tho position of porter 1
in hotels and on trains, or to wait- 1
erships in hotels and restaurants. I
Is there a negro linotype operator i
on and great daily newspaper in i
tho North that is so roundly de- 1
nouncing the South for its attitude *
toward the lloosevolt-Washington j >
dinner incident? Does any one of t
these Northern Republican daily 1
newspapers employ a negro press- '
man, a negro reporter or a negro I
editor. Some of these days the 1
negro will realizo that he has <
nothing to gain'from the alleged <
friendship of men who seek to use
hiin for political purposes only.

Costs More to Die than to Live in Chicago.
High as is the cost of living in
Chicago, it is, in its hardships on
the poor, as nothing compared
with the cost of dying. The burial
expense for one child would in
many cases pay the rent on the
house for the family for a year.
The very meanest funeral exceeds
in cost the fuel bill for a year, even
at the uunaturul prices paid here
for coal.
Chicago, like New York, has its
"spot houses," where a man can
get a "spot" on the floor in an attic
to sleep on for 5 cents But
the cheapest spot to sleep in the
cemeteries, outside the potter's
field, costs $10, and this does not
include the digging pi the grave,
and curries with it no rights of
privacy, indeed, it lias been
charged in some of the older cities
where the "spot system" prevails
in the cemeteries that the same
spot is sold again when the time
has changed the coffin and the
corpse into clay.
A "family lot" in the cemetery
?and it would ho for a small family
at that?costs more than the
gross annual wages of a common
laborer. When all his energies no
more th?n supply the direst needs
of hiH living tented how can
he be expected to buy an exclusive
home for his dead? Ho must depend
on the "spot system" until
somebody other than himself provides
a better one. Chicago line
many needs, and this is one of
them. Once the cjty had a municipal
cemetery. It is full and forgotten.?Chicago
