The popular sp'iug styles with the Indies are expressed thus: $ $ Chicago now proposes to fit rl out whether the street railways belong to the city or the city belongs to the street railways. "iyv Mr Carnegie's statement that he never said he desired to die poor shows that he is not so different from the rest of hp, after all. The creation of vast private for tunes out of monopolization of I In.* public uldities will soon he ended. The public is becoming "wiso." The talk about it being impossible to keep saloons closed on Sunday must be ignored hereafter. It I.as been done at Kansas City. The .Taps are said to ho small because they use no chairs. The haven't been letting the llussiaiis ; rise any either, for some tune pant, i ! The beef trust -has pushed the price of meat up again. It proba- ' hly needs the money to replace, those trunks and books confiscated by the grand jury. About 400 indictments have beet: returned against the Stand- ! mmI Oil Company at Frank fort,1 Ky., thus putting the oil trust in the Geo. \V. lloaveis class. Washington has the advantage | over most oi ttio cities. After congress mid tlio legislature adjourn it is not pestered by u row i in the city council. * It must he n cpioer method <*?f' reasoning which loads some of the church workers to insist llint a bad : man like Mr. Rockefeller shall not be uilowed to do good. -%% Lalin-America i republics that are a little out of sorts are invited to s ep up and take a dose of the "Monroe Doctrine"- the urea test I spring tonic on the market. Mr. Rn isev.dt, ol course, lost no time in wiring warm congratolations to the newly eleeted mayor of Chicago, who is a I >emocrat and n socialist, but the father of thirteen children. The Congregational ists lmvede- | cirled to h? l I on to Mr. Rockefol- ; let's $100.01)0 gift of * tainted" | money. We are not quite sure it was on the ground that they needed it. or that all money is "filthy lucre." A Kansas City get rich-quick concern failed, but thoughtfully posted this sign on their closed | doom, "Good bye. Suckers, Goodbye." It is a great pity the ''Muckers" didn't know what they were earlier in the game. \VA I Low wrMiliI cb\o ..V % I * J M'MMll j reeding in the Cliiim St*a lon^ j enough t<? explain liow a man with HUril II p.OUoUOC ihlo llllllltl IIH "J'jII(juist" happened to not eomninud of a Russian fleet.

Messrs.. dames Pulp and Lin Mnssey were at home Sunday and Monday from the Pit'8by crinn ; college at Clinton, The War. Tlie opposing squadrons of Rusrin and Japan are at ill in the China Sea, but bo far as known no pi.gageiuent lias yet taken place. Admiral Roje.-stveriHky is apparently staking all that Russia posseBHe* on the present venture, and if he should win. Japan would be shorn of inhch of her ureal advantage, if she did not in fact lose it all. The squadron under Admiral Togo is short one or two battleships by comparison** with the force of Rojestvetisky, and there is that clement of uncertainty' uhout the result of an enLTHirenient when it I drn-B come that ia -calculated to make the friends t?f the dnpsn little nnensv. If Japan's fleet should be destroyed and she lose comtumid of the soh. it is lilcvly that her army won hi bo forced out of Manchuria and the tide hinted in Russia's favor. This is bierely n a possibility, and what race-track habitues would term a "lone shot." hiit it is perhaps all that Russia can do, and she is apparently playing thn last hand with desperation. It is hardly conceivable t hat Admiral Togo wortld permit his ships to be destroyed when they are so greatly needed, and the situation uiay not be as serious as it. appears, but I when the engagement occurs, as'it seems likely that it will in a short time, it will doubtless be to the finish. The reports from Vladivoslock are to the effect that the Russians Hre preparing for a prolonged seige, arid the Japanese are said to be determined to place an army of a million men in the field in Manchuria by no>:t fall. There is a continuation of desultory fighting in Manchuria, but it is of apparently little consequence, the armies seemingly awaiting the result of the naval operations. The matter of bringing about peace has received but little attention during the past week, all parties doubtless awaiting developments in the China Sea. As hearing on the latter situation it is interesting to note t lint French naval cvitics think Kojestvonsky will lose. Their sympathies are naturally with him, but they do believe ho can win.?Charlotte Observer, Monday. -? - -4 ? - Tho P fAiim >?' i iiw VIHIIWII UI VVTCI Jl r itf'JlJU .V There is n groat deal of interest being taken in the pledges al1 in 1 < 11 fo by President Smiih that are being tiled to reduce cotton acreage and fertilizers as a result of the work of the of the Southern Cotton Association.

A Fort Mill special of the 141 h to Tlie State gives the following account of a shooting affray which j took place in this township Tues- i I day of last week: "W. O.

'Tito difficulty seotns to ,have arised over the charge that W.

The woman is the sister of Edward B.;i!es and the daughter j of ?J. W. Bailes. A few days ago the brother and father of the wo- | 1 man went to the homo of W. O. ! Bailee to expostulate with him over the alleged mistreatment of the sister and daughter. A difficulty arose over the mat lor which resulted in \V. O. Bailee shooting Ed Bailes in the stomach with a 1 revolver. The wound is not considered serious and tho young man will probably bo about as usual in a few days. At present ho is con i lined to his room at the home of hi3 father, live miles from town.
