This paper stands at nil times for tho interests of the people of O/Mndon and Kershaw <ounty, and when we learned that things were not as they Hboubl be , we did not hesitate to nay ho. Tbo ordinance requires that all meatH sold wltbin the city limits must be butchered at the Central Slaughter I'cn, under the supervision of an experienced inspector, but as an In spector ban not been elected tho work baa been done entirely by no groes, and in a number of cases the meat delivered to tin* dealers baa been moat "un-Hanltary." A represent at ive of Tbo Chron icle visited the slaughter pen this week and found the building an ??loan an could bo desired, and whh aHHured by a member of the Board of Health that an Inspector would bo elected on next Monday night, which will no doubt greatly relieve t he (situation.. Wbllo wo are still opposed to the ordinance, (for the reasons stat ed last week) it' wo- are to have such an ordlnaneo, then let.lt be enforc ed to tbo letter. The Merchant** ANHocintiim and Doudbeuts. Wo feel that too much can not be said about what the Merchants association is doing to put the dead-beats out of business, it keeps a faithful record of the standing of every man in Greonwood, and it evon takes in the woman. If a mem bor of the association wishes to know the financial standing of a fellow all ho has to do is to rail up the Secretary and be has the whole thing at hhi fingers' ends. When a man moves to Greenwood, tbo secretary lowks after bis record in tho place whence he came and he keeps that information on file for the benefit of the members. Now, it strikes us that this is a mighty good thing. It is ealculat - ud to tfave the business men of the city thousands of dollars and we have no doubt but that it has saved them many a dollar. And, the fellow who will not pay; lo' hi in it should he a stimulus, and cause him >'.o conic-, across more promptly. A man's reputation in t lie financial world is worth a good deal. The man who has pluck, eurr gy and honor Is never hard mil. II can get financial help whenever he needs it. Money is on the look out for such men. Hut t lie dead-heats! It is very shy of them. Indeed it takes wings and flies as soon as it sees one of them standing around. Hut we must ask pardon of the readers of- the Daily Journal for chunking up so constantly the peo ple who will not pay.

Referring to tho guard that in constantly at the el how of Lord Kitchener. It is doubt ?loss quite necessary. "The precaution taken to safe guard Lord Kitchener while on his return to Egypt within the luat few days have been described hh unu sual. Possibly If Inquiry wero made In the right quarter it would be found that not the precautions, bu the dlHcovery of their existence, constituted the 'unusual.' There Is more shepherding and shadowing o our notabilities than is known to most of us. ^ Every one Is aw tire that ineni i hers of the royal family, whether at home or abroad, are guarded night and day, but during the lust year or so an unobtrusive protec tion has been extended both to most members of the governmen and to imperial figures such us Lord Kltcvhener. It Is doubtles quite true that Lord Kitchener kicks against his civil guard ; \ they all do. They have to be guarded in spite of themselves. It Is not for our warrior pro consul to say that he will not be guarded; he Is u great state insti tution so long as ho Continues In harness and must bo protected, like tho Dank o( England and the Crowi Regalia. None of us l'orgets tha the breed xof fanatics Is not ex tinct, There are three misguided sons of Egypt .undergoing Imprison ment- at this moment for complicity In a plot against Lord Kitchener' life; and if was but three years ago that, at a reception at the imperial | Institute, the mad Indian.

' "All (ho Cabinet in England is j now guarded night and day as if ; oat h " wore a (V/.ar of Russia. Our j t?ill for secret police work is Itwiv i ier today than it has boon since I l'Vnlanism was rampant. And the ? irony of it is 'that women make necessary much of the expenditure "AVhcn our notabilities visit th j continent they are stiil under tit I closest supervision. Scotland Yar I lias no secrets from 'Paris," and Her ? lin and St. Petersburg exehangt I confidences with ''London and New I York. We all wondered, perhaps ' how it was that when a certain j dangerous anarchist suddenly quit j ted his quarters in America the i other year, his house was raided j and found to be a bomb factory, and | that tho police were ready for him | when he landed in Hamburg with a j plot against the Emperor William | up his sleeve. It was at St. Peters 1 burg that the counter move was set i on foot, and the fact came out quite ' unexpectedly in a totally different 'connection. When the book robbery j at the Astor 'Library, in New York, ' was being investigated, the chief (witness for the prosecution was a j Russian spy. j "it was shown that - the Russian j government maintains secret agents j in all the important libraries in i America to watch the . persons call lug for books on auarchy. Hut the j best of guardians themselves need protection, and the chief detective ? of Warsaw, has told us how it is done. When we had received his ?"VOth Terrorist sentence ? ? f death he confided his secret to a friend. His | projector is a tame anarchist. This youth was implicated in an auar ehist murder. At the 1 1th hour, he w\m.s provisionally pardoned, <>n ihe understanding that his life should be secure so long as his chief lives, but that he dies if the latter comes fo a violent end.

Why In It? "The ad m^n wonders why it in that a man will "stand for" errors In the work of a Hlgn painter that would drive him forever away from a printer. Painters* "sign writers' make all kinds of errors, errors of punctuation and Kpelllng and ab breviation and style and they "go." The printer or ad. compositor who lets them go out of his shop gets the Job fired back at him and .1 "cussing" to boot. "For instance: There's- a sign in a prominent place in this city in which the word "restaurant" is spelled "restaraunt," but it stands because a painter did it. Now If a printer had printed that firm some letter heads or the compositor had set his ad. that way ? ! "This isn't a: kick; It's just a Von der." ? Anderson Mail. / "THK CiHKAT 1UVKK" Mississippi is . the Most Itomarkable .Stream in the World. ? The river lying wholly within ihe temperate zone is in this respect more fortunately situated than the morn fertile valleyed Amazon, since the climate here, varied and some times inhospitable as it in, offers conditions of Unman development there denied. f The main stream is 2,51)0 miles in length; that is, a I 'out 10 times that of the Seine, says So.ribner's Magazine. As Mark Twain has said it is "the crookedest river" in the world, traveling 1,3.00 miles to cover the same ground that a crow would fly over in 675. For several hun dred miles it is a mile in width. Back in 1882 it was 70 miles Wide when the flood was highest. The volume of water discharged by it into the sea is second only 4to the Amazon and is greater that that of all Kuropean rivers combined -(omitting the Volga). The amount is estimated at 13ft- cubic miles nn nually; that is, it would fill annu ally a tank 130 miles long, 130 miles wide and 130 miles high.! With its tributaries it provides, somewhat more than 16,000 miles' of navigable water, more than any other system on the globe except! the Amazon ? and more than enough i to reach from Lake Superior to; Paris by way of Kamchatka and ? Alaska ? about three-fourths of the' way around the globe. The sedi-| ment deposited Is 400,000,000 tons,; enough to require daily for its re-' moval 500 trains of 50 cars, each carrying 50 tons, and to make oach year two square miles of new earth over a hundred feet deep. The area which it drains is rough ; ly a million and a quarter square miles, or two-fifths of the United! States. That Ms, Germany, Austria-! Hungary, France and Italy could be set down within this area and there would still be some room to spare. It has the strength, for the most part |> ii t to no use whatever, of i?0, 000,000 horses. The difference between high water and low water is In some places 50 feet, which gives some impressions of the range of its moo'diness. Trespass Notice.
