Ifaynsworth, Esq., of Sumter, will be a candidate for Code Commissioner before the legislature this winter. Mr. Haynsworth is a good lawyer, with an experience of twenty years at the bar, and would most acceptably till the posi lion, ne is sirongjy enuorseu uy uie eiitire Sumter bar. * * TX ' * Don't croak and stand in tlie way of the good roads movement. Suppose the -v money is to be spent on the county roads, what of that ? Won't the town derive much benefit from good highways leadinto into it ? We don't know how $2,000 cm better be spent to benefit the town than by building good roads. Good highways will bring more people here to trade and to market their products. The consequence is that ever}' business in town will receive some benefit. *** Something is being said in the newspapers as to Judge Buchanan's legal residence in the Third District, the point being made that he has lived- in Winnsboro for some time, continuing to hold the office and receive the salary as Judge of ianother district. If the legislature had not violated at least the spirit of the law in electing Judges several years ago, this matter would not have come up. If it is illegal for a Judge to live in another district than that for which he is elected, it would be seem to an evasion of this principle to elect a man from another district, even if he does move into his district V; '- after election. A merry war is on in Charleston be: .. tween Mayor Smythe and Corporation Counsel Legare. The mayor practically charges Mr. Legare with dereliction of * duty in not prosecuting cases against blind tigers, and Legare says the charge ' was brought because he is not a political supporter of the mayor. Be the reason whatever it may, it appears to us, from the written public statements of the two : men, that the mayor has grounds for his charges. Why the mayor brought up the matter is of little interest to the public; ?1 the interesting question is whether the charge is true. The whole matter is to be reviewed by city council at an early date. m * * * ? - - The good roads movement has been f fairly started, and every patriotic citizen will co-operate with those who have inaugurated this movement so fraught with good results to the town and surrounding country. City council cannot and will not appropriate money for this work without the consent and approval of the taxpayers, and they must show interest in and appreciation of the work as well. We admit it is a new departure for a municipal corporation to build country highways, but it will be money well invested ?a benefit to the town and country. We trust our citizens will largely attend the mass meeting to be held next Monday afternoon. If you want good roads?and , of course you do?go out to the meeting and by your presence at least give encouragement and sympathy to the efforts of those who are earnestly striving for the town's material welfare. The merchants should close their stores and give an hour to this important matter. Tkanksgiyiug. To a Christian Jiving up to his principles, a special day for thanksgiving is but little emphasis to his life. Each da}- is filled with song of praise ascending from bis heart to God. Prayers are mingled with his thoughts, and like David he constantly says: "What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits." Notwithstanding the fact that thanksgiving is an avor nrocont orronA \cith tl?A fU>ricti?n lin V T Vi yAVOVUV ?? WMV twviv.n, uv approves the special day set apart by the nation's Executive, for the reason that he is glad his God whom he adores is being honored by the representatives of all the people. These proclamations being issued by our rulers from time to time are prophecies of the time when the Kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of Christ. The significance of thanksgiving then is most beautiful to the mind of the believer, being not only a herald of the coming morn, when righteousness shall reign, but for the present, the honoring of God in the councils of the nation. Keeping the national feature of thanksgiving before us we are permitted to turn ;to our own dear State (South Carolina I allude to, though an adopted Georgian I still claim allegiance to the Palmetto State) and mention a few reasons why we should, on the day designated by* the officials, meet and give thanks for divine protection and leadership. First, our gratitude for safe deliverance of and firm anchorage in the harbor of political victory. The stirring campaign through which we recently passed and which taxed the patience and Christianity of many a man and burdened his heart with ghosts of doubts and fears, now in our memory, rises as a rainbow of promise! i|rGov. McSweeney leaves us with laurels clustering on his brow, we shall love him as a faithful servant, a merciful ruler, a nobleman! Mr. Heyward has "pledged - his heart and his hand" to South Carolina and will lead her a trusting bride to the political altar, may God bless them both with understanding and perfect confidence and may they (for the term allotted to him) enjoy the bonded ties of love! Secondly, we are to rejoice over our freedom as citizen and Christian, and lastly over the wealth of corn and honey, and milk and all the "goodies" of a land that is truthfully one of plenty! M. O. Lamer. It I ,i <>L v i 11 <? \Ck wc Blackvm.i.k, Nov. i:>?Mr. S. Hutchins Still has just returned from Lake City, Fla., where he ami Miss Hope Leitner were married on the 22d.

WoFFOKl) COLLEGE, Sl'AHTAN lit* KG, November 17.?I)r. Hamilton \V. Mabie was greeted by a large, cultured audience it the Converse Auditorium on November 5. His lecture was on "Idealism in America." Many thoughts were brought out in a clear, forceful style. Those who heard him were entirely pleased. Mr. Mabie holds one of the foremost positions on the American platform of to-day. His lectures and writings entitle him to be ranked in that class of eminent Americans, such as Emerson, Lowell, Warner. The Wofford students were given another treat on the morning following the night of the lecture. Mr. Mabie talked in the college chapel on the word "work." Here, as on the proceeding night, thoughts were placed in such words and in such a light as the students were never before fortunate enough to hear. Dr Alderman, President of Tulane University, comes to-morrow night as the second attraction of the Lyceum. The College Glee Club is hard at work iu preparation for the Moot Court. They are endeavoring to make this one of the best entertainments ever-given. It will come off during the early part of December. i nc officers of the various classes were very delightfully entertained at the home of President Snyder last Thursday evening. Here, as everywhere else, President Snyder made himself most agreeable, and talked in that same easy and graceful manner so characteristic of the man. The Calhoun Society has elected the following officers to serve for the next two months: President, T. C. Moss; Vice President, W. P. Way; 1st critic, J. G. Bailey; 2nd critic, G. B.

The issue is by no means a poor one. Men from this State and North Carolina are at work here in the city, in connection with the college Y. M. C. A., trying to establish a similar association for the young men of the city. The pulpits of all the churches were filled by these men last Sunday morning. In the afternoon a mass meeting was held in Central Methodist church. Mr. A. G. Knebel, State Secretary for North and South Carolina, and Mr. F. C. Abbott, of Chari - * * x-ll Iioue, eacn gave lams. It will be of interest to the people of Bamberg to know that Prof. H. .T. Shoemaker, formerly a professor in the Fitting School there, is doing splendidly with his new book store in this city. He has worked up, in a very short time, a fine trade among the college boys and the people of the city. Mr. Carroll Rogers, '00, was on the campus for a few days last week.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 14.?Distinct disorder prevailed this morning through*1-? * OAI> fcponno OUl Hie ^CSSHJIl OI IUC V IlglUiai/Uiiivikuvv at the Broad Street Methodist church. Time and again Bishop W. W. Duncan halted impatiently and tried to stop the talking and laughing of ladies in the assemblage who gossiped in open convention. Finally he aunounced that on tomorrow only delegates would be admitted. The chief offenders were two or three ladies who insisted upon talking from start to finish. It began early in the morning. The bishop stopped a speaker in the middle of his talk and asked the ladies to be quiet. He spoke in kindness. He delighted to have ladies present, but he could not have the proceedings of the body interrupted. Finally when all other expedients failed he announced that after to-day no visitors would be allowed. Another leature of the proceedings was a criticism from the bishop of the relig- 1 ious system of the University of Virginia, i The university has no 'chaplain and < prominent ministers of different denomi- ' nations take turns of holding services at ' the university chapel. The bishop thought < tins method "unwise and very dissipat- ; ing." MONUMENTAL INJUSTICE. To Send \our Cash Away and Ask Favors ol" Home Paper. People sometimes decline to subscribe for tin ir home paper l'or the reason that tliev already take several papers published in New York and elsewhere. Yet those same people often ask and receive favors from the local paper, while none is received or expected front the faroff journal. When they wish to express gratitude for kindly assistance during sickness or misfortune, the local paper is asked to publish a card of thanks. When they wisli to have a supper or reception of any kind, the local paper is asked to give it a free notice. When a public meeting is to he held for any purpose, they want the local paper to give it due publicity. When they want their town boomed ?o as to increase the value of their property, they call on the local paper. When they want a new railroad or a factory built, they expect the local paper to work for it with all its might. When a death occurs in the home, they expect the local paper to report it in leuuei, sympaiuewe suiiiu aim u? cawi the virtues of the deceased. When a birth or wedding occurs in the family, they expect the local paper to give a glowing description of the eyent. When they are trying to build up churches or schools, the local paper is asked to give them good, strong puffs. If there is a battle for right in the county or precinct, the editor is expected to bear the brunt of it. Thus people are constantly receiving favors from the local paper, but many fail to show their appreciation by subscribing for it. l et tuey cheerfully pay their subscriptions annually in advance for the New York Bazoo or the Philadelphia Barnstormer, which never did anything for them or their community. This practice of bestowing one's patronage upon the faroff journal while receiving all newspaper favors from the home publication is a mouumental injustice of which no decent person should be guilty. Reader, don't come into our office and ask us to publish in your interest a personal puff or a long winded obituary claiming that you are too poor to take this paper and asking for a dozen free copies while your pockets are stuffed full of story papers and magazines, paid for in advance.?Carrollton (Tex.)

It is a mistake to think that religion is opposed to fun. We have a right to enjoy fun as much as we enjoy food. But our fun,, like everything else we have, belongs to God, and we ought to seek it at the right times and in the right ways. When 1 the hour for work or worship strikes, then our play should be laid aside. 1 And we should never find amusement in anything that hurts another person. 1 One of the prophets, when he was describing a city in which the people would do the will of God, spoke of boys and girls playing in the streets.

Duncan before the Virginia Methodist conference, was a discussion of unwise marriages. The bishop was much opposed to young men, and especially young preachers, falling in love with girls who live at a distance from them or who belong to a different denomination. He cited the case of a young preacher in California who was in love with a girl in another state and who was not a Methodist. There were plenty of good Methodists girls in California, said the Bishop, who would have made the preacher a good wife, but because of his fancy for this particular girl he had to go to another state. If tins young man had put his trust in the Almighty, said the bishop, and not have appealed to his own inclination, he would have married a first-class Methodist girl, who would have made him a splendid wife. The one he married may do so, but the bishop thinks the odds are against this being the result. Asleep Amid Flames.
