Such assaults tin tiiut committed on a young mini in this township Tuesday night ??f last week are (lis- | graceful to a civilized continuity. 1 The perpel raters of such deeds should be arrested if possible and made to sutler 1 lie fullest penalty of the law. r. f: f A big gathering of the wholesale grocers of the United Slates was held in Dot riot a few days ago to consider the formation of a combine that will include the lending grocery houses of the country in a j trust that will rival the steel trust in magnitude and excel it in the ; ramifications of its business down to the very heart of the people of all sections. The chances seem to be fair for the consummation of the scheme. * ? * Now that the elections are concluded it is announced that the ; press report that the army in tinPhilippines is to he reduced to 0,000 or 10,000 inen|is not warranted. Seventeen thousand men are to he ke? t to garrison the islands in addition to 7,000 native con dnbulary, making a total military force of 2b- I 000 men. Various excuses are ad-j vanned as reasons for the contiu-j nance of so lame a force in iiie i archipelago,among them, the advisability of being in a position to adopt the defensive in the event of any international trouble in the Orient. Further developments in regard to the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission are looKed for dailj*, now that the elections are over. Tho press correspondents with the commission state that tlie coininiHsionors are already expressing surprise that they have heard nothing from the independent operators whom they have invited to I submit their difficulties to the commission and refusal of the in dependent operators to he party to the arbitration is likely to he made known at any time. The result, it is feared, will he to invalidate the work for which the commission has been called into existence and Ihus the solution of tho coal strike accomplished by the President with such n blaze of glory will end in n nasco. The National Democratic Committee lias conceded the defeat, in last week's election, of the Democratic party and the election of a Republican House. The figures, as, given out were 183 Democrats elected, 6 doubtful, and 1D-4 Republican. Even counting the Republican majority at 26. the estimate made by the chairman, it will be seen that the Democrats have secured their half of the 211 new members elected because of increase. npi>ortionment and have reduced lh?? Republican majority from 47 to 26. It is confidently lielieved that there were more Democratic votes polled in New York Stale than there were Republicans. All during the early part of the evening of election day the returns indicated that Ooler was elected governor, and it was then noticed, by the shrewd watchers, that returns suddenly ceased to be received from up-State. Lsite r, according to the claims of the Democrats in Washington, the up-State Republicans fixed the CWell majority at the figures nccsdry^to carry the State. They are in control of all the election . machinery in the state and it would hriVfr been u very simple matter for them fo alter the tally sheets sufficiently to pull Ode!I through. Htiwever, the republicans have won ai.:^ ?: i -1 - * * nj?e miitf hiiu mere ih nothing ludo but watch and wait for 1904. Tlie Times has iti Fort Mill n few "dear friends," who take ospecinl pride and care in gathering a certain class of local happenings and, in preference to having them , published at home, forward the items to our contemporaries in Yorkville and Hock Hill. These expostulations usualy give in the most flowery terms accounts of "at homes,'' "leas," "Mr. and Mrs. - - entertains," "straw rides,'' or i other such occurrences, always ex pressing, willi a profound decree of simpleness. the pleasing style or hospitable manner in \vhi<-h 1 lie j host or hostess entertained. And ( whether through fear of ils beinn cast aside, or what not. the items are sent away from home for publication. Realizing, as wo do. that a very delicate subject lias been touched upon, every care shall be taken lest the feelings of these dear writers lie wounded, and such a calamity would be too bid; not only would it likely brine about the loss of a subscriber, but the loss of a dollar a year, as some seem to think, would cause the downfall of the paper. The Times has not made a specialty in the past of publishing these little '"walk rasies." and those of which mention was made, were stated in as few words as possible. We would not. have it understood that The Times was aware of all such occasions, for lltllliv- WIU'II lir^l l.inrni.il ..I" !>? .... J "* " " "* ' " '.?

Ar a reason for (lie lilt lo space and few words deVoted to those published. we would say, outside of (hose l?v whom the entertainments were ^iven, the public, in our opinion, read them with just so much interest us an account of a common cat Hj^lit. That The Times didn't mention more of these "sit arounds," is accounted for by tin' fact that the writer is not (thanks to the Father) one of the chosen (lock who thus euj?anc, ami were not informed. In conclusion, be it said that if our readers are haif h i well contented without su?-li news as Tile Times man, these writers are at liberty to continue this practice without further molestation. - in Divide Alliance Money. The Alliance Kxohange has formnlly gone out of business. It has practically been in that eoiulitioii for several years, though its corporate existence has been kept up. The Alliance hail $17,0(10 on hand \ and there lias been a great deal of controversy over what disposition I should be made of it. Theexeeul live comittce having the matter in ; charge met in this city,and finally concluded to take this money and | divide it pro rata. This will be an immense job, but it is understood that the sub-alliances will get as 1 nearly as possible tin' amount of money originally contributed to 1 the fund, and they can inakowhati ever disposition of it that they ! wish. It is saiil that some will de| vote their share to charitable purposes, and others will give it to j schools. IStill others wil attempt ; to return the money to individuals. ! It will thus be seen that whatever plan is followed, it is going to he a difficult matter to equitably dispose of it, for not only are some of the contributors dead, but suhalliauces also have long since been disbanded.?Columbia ltecord. A Beautiful Idea. Away among the Alleghnnies there is a spring so small that a single OX could drain it ilrv mi ' summer day. It steals its uiiobj trusire way among the hills till it ! spreads out in tin* beautiful Ohio Thence it stretches away a thousand miles, leaving on its banks more than n thousand villages and cities, and bearing on the bosom more than half a thousand steainIxmts. Then joining the .Miss, issippi. it stetohfcs away some 1,300 milesinore, tij^l it falls into the gieat em^h/ihdf eternity. It is one of the tributaries of the ocean, which, obedient only to God, shall roll and roar until the angel, with j one foot on the sea and the other on the land, shall lift up his hand to heaven and swear that time shall not be no longer. So with moral influence. It is the rill, the rivulet, the ocean, boundless and fathom| less as eternity?Kx. ? Five Die el Smallpox. The following paragraph from tli*? Charlotte Olwerver of Sunday allows to what an alarming extent smallpox in rauing in that city: "The Observer feels it necessary i to state, as a precautionary nieasI ute, that the smallpox situation in j this city is serious. In the pest i house and house of detention there nrc over 50 persons, tnore than half of whom are broken out with smallpox. And in every part of town there are people who hnve the disease and are quarantined in private houses. Five persons died of smallpox in and around Charlotte last week.
