Foiiutgr TjUjiuiji'h recent unusually
bitter utterances in tho Senate, we are
unable to say. Nevertheless ..*o caguut

Tho American newspaper was founded
by t hristinn gentlemen and is still
published by men whose only hope of
reward is a free pass into tho pearly
gates, most certainly their just due.
Hero's iv hearty handshake and congratulation
to Intendunt Hall and t)ic

of happiness and prosperity to those
who by tho vote of tho people liuvo
boon placed in charge of the town's
utl'uirs for thu year.
There are altogether too ninrjy pooplo
who uro satisfied if they enn at
tlio cud of fhe year just pay out and
make ends meet. While this is better
than to run behind, a man should
have ambition to do something more.
There are largo possibilities connected
with saving even so small an amount

I5y way of explanation for his opposition
to tho bill to increase the appropriation
for thu State militiu, Mr.
Ardrey points out that in UMH the inili
tiu was given 98,000, while in ltKW thu
appropriation \yus increased to 915,000.
Besides this a State armory was built

Albort Patrick, who wassentenced to
dio for the niurdor of Millionaire Kioe,
has beeu granted a reprieve of forty
days by the governor of New York, on
account of newly discovered ovidenco
in behalf of the condemned man. Pattrick's
guilt has not, in the opinion of
many people, been clearly proven and
should ho visit the death chair the
otllocr who sends his Soul to the great
beyond can never rest assured that he
has executed a murderer.

Wo doff a large and cordial hat to the
management of the South Carolina College
upon its decision to ubolish football
from tip) the lists of si>orts at the !
institution. Tip) list of fatalities the
past seasnu throughout the country
reads like returns from a bloody battle.
TbiM so called ''sport" is wholly demoralizing,
dangerous to life and limb and
brings no bene (It to anyone concerned.
It ouly remains for the college people
to put n stop t? hazing and win honors
which would flit it lcl them to a Carnegie
or othor medal.
Thy following, credited "Unknown," i
ia too good to bo lost: We lovo the man
with the rose on his tongue, the matt
who sees the boy's dirty face but mentipus
bis bright eyes. who notices your
tihubby oout but praises your studious
habits, the man who soos all faults but
who is quick to praise, slow to blame. )
We like to meet a man whose smile
\y?ll brighten up (loudness, whose voiee
is full of music qf the birds, whoso
handshake is au inspiration and his
God bless you a benedict ion. He makes
us forgot our troubles us the raven's

Every citizen who has the up buildjug
and welfare of the town at heart
should make u liberal contribution to
tho fuud for the erection of a steel
bridge over Sugar crook. With a public
donation of one-third the amount
necessary wo feel confident that the
oountlcs of Lancastor aud York will
respond with a like amount. The need
of it fltood. milwUiiiiul I
_ . .?miim^u hi i ma
point igcans much to l'ort Mill, ami es
peoinlly our butliip?< men, to whom
n large volume of business comes from I
beyond the ? r lek. Piuuvillv is making
a bid for the trade from that section
by building good roads ami bridges aud
with our advautago in distance, it docs
seom that 1'Vrt Mill could hold the business
by offering like inducements.
SoUjribo lib*'rally to the fund and let's
build the bridge. The good i\suU will

Aside from the usual interest in the
proceedings of tjie legislature there is
r msiderablo amusement to bo had in
watching I bo reports of the number of
fooliah aud worthless measures that are '
offered for euacitou. For instance, wo
hare just read iff a bill to compel one
who uiakes oath ho fore an officer of ih i '
law to place the right hand on the bill
hie while the right hand i? upheld.
The bill was killed after some discus *
hiou because t lie normal persou has but
diio ritfht huud. Thou ou tho lint, wo I
find n Lill to dinfmnchiso a niun upon |
liin third conviction of drnukeiiiiogH. j .
Tnis wins likewise killed in short order. j 1
Sncll bills lire onlv ail and ar<<
not worth tho paper on which they uro
written. But what wo uro wondering
ut is how undor tho nun those who offor
such utterly worthless measures (.
managed to gut a sent in that honorable
body which makes laws for a sousiblo
people.
Tho Times has received from tho t
Ving's Mountain chapter, !). A. It., a i
very interesting aui leghthv oommuni- I
cation, and it is with regret that wo
cannot, owing to its length, publish tho <
article. The ladies are seeking to t
arouse interest and enlist tho co opor- '
ution of tho people in g movement to I
erect in the Nutionnl Statuary Hall in
Washington a statuo of John C. Culhoiin.
Tho legislature at its present 1
session is to be asked to appropriate tho
sum of $25,000 for the purpose and tho 1
ladies upi>cul to tho jsioplo of tho Stnte
to nsp their iufiuouco with tho legislu- j
la tors o their respective counties in
securing the approprition. Practically
every Stato in the Union, except South
Carolina, is represented in Statuary
Hull, and it is hopod that our legislature
will no longer allow our State's
plnco to remain empty. There is certainly
none more worthy a place than
South Carolina's most honored sou,
John C. Calhoun,
A Fine Showing.
From the Greenwood Journal. i
"According to tho State's correspondent
at Fort Mill, tho recent municipal
election at that place has been quite a 1
spirited one, resulting in a tie vote. Tho
present incumbent is Mr. W. 13. Meacli- 1
am, a brother of Mr. T. 13. Moacham of
this city. That Mr. Meaoham is tho '
man for the place is clearly shown by 1
tho udmirable showing that, he 1ms '
made during his administration. It. '
seems that he was opposed solely on the '
ground that lie had been open and fearless
and uncompromising in the administration
of t lie laws. This to his cred- 1
it, t>nd wo predict at this distance that '
the host people in that little town were '
his strong supporters, and that ho will
go in at th?> next election. Farther, if
any illegal votes wore polled, we guar- 1
autoo that it was done hy Mr. Meach- j
urn's opponents.
"lint hero is an account of the good '
work ho has done: The mayor early in ^
the year auuounced a minimum fine of
$.1 for conviction for drunk and disor- ^
derly conduct and promised to double
the line for the second conviction. This J
policy has resulted in the collection of (
nearly $1,01)0 in flues during the past
year.
"The munieipal affairs have been ad
ministered with wisdom and economy,
as shown by the fact that in the past |
few years about three-quarters of a mile
of macadam streets have been laid.
Ooiuont sidewalks, six and eight foot
wide, have been put down on both sides
of Main street, and on part of Confederate
street, and electric lights installed
in the business streets.
"All this has been clone on a tax levy
of only two mills and without incurring
a cent of debt. The town now owes
only $ll>0, part of the bonded debt for
the town hall built several years ago,
and these bonds are uot for sale even to
the town, which has offered to take
them up."

made the "uhjeut of emphatic dennn- |
that ion by Mr. Tlliman in the Senate a
few days ago. His remarks called out .
reinonstranees from Messrs Hale, Hopkins

rupt closing of the doors and the sud- \
den adjournment of the senate in the
middle of tin* afternoon. The speech
abounded in Mr. Tillman's jH*euliar ex- *

many severe and exceptioua'ly p rson- j
r mal thrists at I'res d *nt lioosc volt. (
At times he wept over what ho regarded
as the indignities to Mrs. Morris, and '
his eyes were tilled with tears when he 1
declared in the face of protests from t
his fellow-senators that he would do- j
