It is a financial impossibility for any
||fv man to get rich honestly on a salary of
v $400 a year. "Where did they get it ?."
I Say, weren't the streets in nice shape
fe^-last Friday and Saturday? Those who
Efer;: went to the opera house Friday night
no doubt enjoyed (?) trudging through the
pFf't saud and water in the dark.
pir# ' Mr. Jos. W. Stewart, who has been
|&~ traveling passen ger agent of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, with headquarters in
?& . Columbia, has resigned his position to
^ become manager of the Columbia Daily
Hecord. We have a very pleasant ac'
4juaintance with Mr. Stewart, and feel
Bar#? mimA hi* rnnnootirm with South Caro
lina journalism.
wife No newspaper possibly has positive
gpk.i ^proof that the State board cf dispensary
directors have accepted rebates from
?; whiskey houses, but it is nevertheless 1
fact that dispensary officials have sud- '
4ehly and mysteriously amassed wealth
~ after getting these positions. We all
know of men who went into the dispen?4.?aiy
poor but soon got rich. "Where did
i&'f they get it?" ~ .
RjU The solid South is worth something to
Democracy in the matter of votes but some
politicians and newspapers offset all this
y'v "by a lot of fool talk. Some of such are
E|gri .sow letting off an. accumulation of wind
pCi . oh the subject of Roosevelt and a square
|gj.*"deal for the South. It is folly to expect
^v- anything at his hands, not even justice,
and there is no use or reason in discussing
or his Southern policy.
. A prominent business man of Augusta
B|||;refused to sign an invitation asking Presfdent
Roosevelt to visit that city. He is
B^^ifcaotly right. His reason was that he
fPPv'iW not care to meet the president on
terms of social equality, and this should
~ be the position of every Southern white
man. And yet some Southern cities arc
PfaSn*:.frantically endeavoring to induce him to
pay them a visit! It would serve them
Ipp pMactly right if the president should come
^f-;v?nd bring some of his negro friends along.
gfllfefe There is no likelihood of an extension
of the time for paying taxes this year.
JSpf VjSVerybody appears to have money, and it 1
S||kH would seem to he folly to extend the time.
" In fact extensions never do the poor man 1
l&: any good. He ;<oes and pays up in time, 1
ll^v ^hnt the rich man who has his money in use i
- will not pay as long as he can avoid it. *
There never was a greater humbug than 1
that of extending the time for paying tax- J
es in order to help the poor man. In <
feci, the really poor man owns so little (
I,; <hat it is no great burden for him to pay t
his taxes any time. 1
j|te The Bamberg Herald proposes charging *
one dollar for subscriptions paid in ad- t
vance, and one dollar and a half on time. t
We are persuaded that our contemporary .
v | will have a lot of trouble in carrying this c
. role out. We tried it, and so we are not *
B|p.' speaking .without experience.?Green- a
wood Journal. ^
jjjjSfi We do not expect to have mnch trouble.
You see, contemporary, at least seventy- c
ijjfe Ave per cent! or more of our subscribers T
in advance now. Those who want t
it on time will prefer to pay $1.00 in ad- j
vance. We are merely working to get ,
^ V our list all paid in advance, and we think
thd plan of charging a higher price on ^
lime a mighty good way to get subscrib- f
to pay cash. r

SAW A MEXICAN BULL FIGHT.
A Greenville Man Describes a Cruel Spectacle
Witnessed in the City of Mexico.
Marshall Orr, of Greenville, ''who is
spending the winter in Mexico City, gives
the following account of a bull fight in fi
letter of which an extract is printed below:
"Last Sunday I saw my first bull fight,
by the most famous matador of the day,
Mazzantini, and he claims it is his last
public appearance. We reached tin
arena at 2:45 p. m., and at 2:55 the Spanish
ambassador arrived and was greeted wit)]
cheers and great demonstration. Atthres
o'clock President Diaz came into his bos
and on his appearance the crowd of 12r<
000 fairly went mad with excitement.
You would have thought all the kings in
the world were present from the greeting
?they rose to their feet, bared their heads
and shouted to the top of their voices,
President Diaz looks a good deal like
Capt. O. P. Mill, and is a remarkably
handsome man. When he was seated,
the judge ordered the fight to begin.
"All of the fighters paraded around the
ring and were then introduced to the
spectators. Then the bull was admitted
to the arena, and at the entrance a spike
? a. i _ % i ? / r?
wicn a large screamer Hanging iroui a
was driven into the bull's shoulders as he
passed, to infuriate him, anc. it did. He
made a charge at one of the horses, caught
him on his horns just behind the right
fore leg, raised horse and rider over hie
head and threw him to one side. The
horse fell dead, and pinned the picador's
leg under him, which I thought was
crushed, but ascertained afterwards that
the leg was encased in steel all the way
up to the hip; so that the rider was not
injured. The bull was then directed to
another fighter by throwing a dark red
cape around his head, which he charged
and did not miss the man more than two
feet. In fact, none of them missed over
two feet and frequently only a few
inches.
"There are six fighters or toreros, and
each took his turn at worrying the bull.
A sceond horse was killed by the bull,
which is the worst part of the whole business.
The horses are blindfolded over the
right eye and this side is always kept towards
the bull. He is ridden up in front
of the bull, and as he charges springs to
one side, and the driver sticks a lance
into the the bull to keep him off the horse,
but generally fails to do so, for the bull
always gets the horse, for the rider continues
to give him chances until the horse
is killed. When the bull kills two horses
bugles are sounded and then comes the
really dangerous part for the men. They
take little spears about two :feet long and
covered with different colors of fancy
paper, one in each hand, and as they
charge the bull or the bull charges them,
they step one side and stick the little
spears in the bull's wethers until six of
these have been stuck in. when the butrle
sounds again and all the toreros annoy
the bull and excite him with red caps or
flags.
"Then one of the fighters gets a piece
of crimson cloth on a stick in one hand
and a sword about 3 1-2 feet long with a
very sharp point bent down. He walks
near the bull, waving this red flag in
front of him for a few minutes and jump,
ing from side to side until the bull makes
i charge, and he sticks the sword just in
front of the wethers and clear up to the
lilt; this stroke proves fatal; it is regarded
as a great feat, and cheered vociferrasly,
but if it does* not kill him, they
;hrow their red capes around the hilt of
he sword, and draw it out so as to use it
igain; but if it is so firmly fastened in the
rail that it cannot be drawn out, they
ake another sword like the first and if
he bull charges they stick this one just
>ehind the horns down into the brain.
>ne of the fighters made a poor stroke,
md the sword stuck out a foot beyond the
wethers of the bull.
"When the bull is killed, he is dragged
>ff and another is brought in, and this
was kept up until seven bulls and foureen
horses had been killed. One of the
lorses was not killed outright, but his
whole stomach was torn open and his
intrails hanging out on the ground. Notwithstanding
this, the rider continued to
orce him in front of the infuriated bull
mtil the people hissed and howled and
aised such a row that they had to take
he horse out. The effort was made
dways to wound the bull in the wethers
md frequently both shoulders and foreegs
were dripping with blood and when
i stroke was made correctly by the sword
he bull would cough quantities of blood
mtil it died.
"It was most exciting and I enjoyed
>very part of it except the killing of the
iorses. This was absolute cruelty, and
hey stood no chance in the world. Being
fiindfolded, he knew of no danger until
,he bull had caught him, and nearly ev;rytime
he was killed on the first charge,
[t is true that they are very poor horses,
lowever?lean and miserable looking
specimens and of very little value. It is
nost exciting, but a cruel and heartless
soort."?Greenville News.
Richard M. Scruggs, of St. Louis, Mo.,
who died recently, left large sums to the
Southern Methodist church for foreign
missions. His bequests altogether amounted
to $481,000.
"There are some things that will never
lie," said the musical enthusiast.
"I guess that's right," answered Mr.
Cumrox. "My daughter sits down at the
piano and tries to kill a few of 'em every
evening. But it's no use."
