THURSDAY MAR. 27th 1Q02 I n ky say hard things about South Corolina but she has a groat place in history and will always have it. The farmers are not vising as much fertilizer this year as they did last. It is not best to go too far with things '.any time, especially when it is something as costly to our farmers as fertilizers. The people of some of the counties could not be brought to realize the great importance of advertising tJie resources of their counties by having a suitable and adequate ex hibit at the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition. The show there is great but t hese counties are entirely out of the picture. They made a mistake and they will realize it sooner or later in the future. This proposed system of a postal currency, which will be considered by Congress at the present session, must have been perfected after much study, and is certainly a product of the mind of a business man. The need of a safe and convenient way of sending money through the mails, has always been felt, and until now no measures of relief were offered except to a limited extent. The scheme provides for printing the one, two and live dollar bills in the future with blank spaces on tlie face. These bills pass from hand to hand before the blanks are filled. When it i.. d- 'red to send one in the mails the I lat ' s are filled in with the name of th naim ?>?.? ....,1 _ ... ,-jvv, w.v.y UIUI state, a 2 cent s imp in another blank, the nam of the sender is signed on the back, and his money lias ceased to exist as currency, and has been transformed into a cheek on the government, aud ready to send in his letter. If the bill passes "Congress, it will bea great convenience to the masses of 1 he people who live in the rural districts. Coming to the Front. 10 very body speaks of this county as one that is fast coming to the front in many ways. The stranger who perchance visits the county on some business mission at long intervals of time, expresses his surprise at the changes that meet him on every hand. Judge Aldrich who presided at the last term of court, was here as presiding judge a few years ago. I n the course of his charge to the grand jury, lie had occasion to say that he was gratified at the many signs of progress and development that he had seen along tin1 railroad and especially at the county seat. That Horry county, he believed, wa8 making as rapid headway as any count}' in the State. During tlie last ten years, the people have been turning their at tcntion more and more to the development of the agricultural resour-j cos of the county. A change of j this hind ulways proves a good thing j for any country. It is a noticeable fact that in those communities where tii'- people have been long engaged j in farming, they uro wealthier and are the most independent class of people we have. We have much faith in the future of this county and it docs us good to hoar others express themselves in like manner. There is no reason why wo should not forge to the front along all lines, and we trust that one of the next steps taken by our progressive people will he to say by thoir votes, in the next election, that the county shall have new and np to-datc public buildings. The Race for Congress The race for Congress this Sum iner, in this, the Sixth District, is a subject upon which nearly every paper published within tho IiohiuIh of the district bus expressed its opinion. The Out l jok, published at George town, takes pleasure in publishing to the. district, the congressional aspirations of one of Georgetown's noble sons. State Senator Walker. The Times, published in the same town, eanie out in large head letters some time ago, advocating lbs candidacy of the same gentleman, winding up with, "Watch Georgetown." The Marion Star gives it as its opinion, that Gen. James Norton -is sure, to be in the race again and will make things hot for all concerned. It mentions some others who are, in its opinion, not only possible but highly probable candidates, and it declares that when the ball gets to rolling there is no telling where it will stop. Other papers in the district have expressed their opinions very freely as to who may be candidates, bui. have nothing to say as to what they think their chances of election will be. Now, we may be wrong, just as much in the wrong as any of our brethren in the district, but after giving the subject as much study as we think it deserves, we arrive at this conclusion: Hon. Robt. H. Scarborough is serving his iirst iorm in Congress and will stand for re election. It is an unwritten law that Representatives in Congress shall have at least two terms. They are entitled to two terms in order that they inav finish the work they begin. The Representative is not used to his work when he first arrives in Washington, and it takes about one term to become farnilliar with the workings of Congress. To say that a Representative is not entitled to a second term in Washington is to say that he is incompetent and unlit to represent his constituents. It seems to us that this would bo the only ground upon which one con Id base his defeat for a second term, lias Mr. Scarborough, so far, shown himself to bo an able and trustworthy representative of the people? He has. No one in the district can deny this assertion. Then the people of the district are bound in honor to give him a second term. It is an unwrit ~ 1, ' iuii iu?v nuii int?v cannot consistently depart from. They will not depart from it. This being the case what does all this talk apout so many other candidates amount to? It must be all gas- If they cannot lie elected, it is no use to run. We are satisfied that they will reach the same conclusion that we have reached, if they will give the matter a few moments of calm reflection. Mr. Scarborough has been busily at work for die best interests of the people of the district during the present term. All who have read the public prints will bear us out in this. The River and Harbor Hill lias passed the House and he has se cured an appropriation of $9,500 for Waccamaw River, $1,000 for Little Pee Dee, and has also provided for a survey of Waccamaw River with a view to obtain 12 feet of water at Lv... 4 :/i~ ~ e? - ~ ^ * iv7?v uuu ?i? mr up as o cm way, aiui an open channel all the wav up to Lake Waccamaw. Letter From Texas. Editor Hkiiam>:?Having a great man y friends who have ex pressed a desire to hear from Galveston, the beautiful little city made so famous sixteen months ago by the terrible storm and flood, 1 have decided to write a short communication to the Hrkald. 1 arrived hero Feb. 8th, to take charge of the Bookkeeping Depart meat of Draughon's Business Col lege of this city and at once entered upon my duties, having secured a very desirable boarding place in a private family near the college. Galveston is situated on the Gulf of Mexico on an island about three miles from the mainland It is one of the great commercial cities of the South-west and one of the greatest, if not the greatost, cotton ports in the United States. It has on ane side good harbors, and the broad expanse of the Gulf of Mexico con necting it with all the maritime nations of the world and on the other side the great state of Texas with her millions of cattle and horses, her broad nores of cotton, her inexhaustible wells of oil, and mines of quick silver. In fact, Texas produces almost everything needed for food and clothing. The climate is delightful. In Galveston snow rarely falls and flowers bloom all the year in the open air. Her citizens are of that sturdy class which believe in keeping apace with the g?eat tide of human progress. In Galveston you will see large ocean steamers P'om almost . ??i r every civilized country in the world;, the trovermnent jetties, ten miles in length, which were constructed at a eost of over eight millions of dollars; tin mammoth grain elevators, which handle thousands of bushels of grain daily; government forts, with thoii large guns: government barracks with the. soldiers; light houses, torpedo stations, life saving sta? ion; large government and pub iic buildings; the handsome gruniiC monument, fort) seven feet in he ght, with a large bronze statue, which has recently been erected in honor of the groat heroes of Texas Independence, and a great many oth or things of interest too numerous to mention. Almost everyone is familiar with t he details of the fearful storm occurring in September lJMttt, which swept one fourth of the inhabitants of tnis beautiful city into thesen or juried them under tiie rums ot tailing buildings. Kntire blocks were swept away and hundreds of famiin . > left homeless. Nowymd then one meets with one or ma^ be. iwo ot a family left to toll of l.hi?ii? rlroiwlfnl experience; and oftentimes we learn of entire families which were destroyed. Traveling the streets, one ?ees here and there piles of debris, and streets either washed in holes or hanked with sand. A great many of ilie churches were blown down or badly wrecked, and several of the different congregations are worship ping in temporary structures or in rented building. . Bui for all this the city is taking on new life, hike tome one wrote after the great lire in Chicago; the Little CJiant o the Soutwcst is be ginuing to show ?signs of life, the pulse is beginning to beat, the cii relation is again restored, tin? chest expands and the whole being seems to be taking on new life and soon again will be able to stand erect and* pnoenix like, spring from his ashes and loom up a new city of elegance and beauty which will far surpass the splendor of the old. The cit y is now pending an election to decide upon issuing bonds to build a sea wall next the gulf as a safe guard against the waves should there come another storm. 1 am always glad to got the IJeu i aij> ana see wnut is being done in dear old Horry, and note her prog ress which, 1 uni proud tc? say, is very rapid. She is no longer considered Like a slave to be led, Hut her opinion is sought Hy her rivals instead. She is no longer considered A story or a myth, Hut an Independent Kcpublio With her power forth with. With best wishes to all my Horry friends I remain one of her sous, II. K. Tom>. Galveston, Texas.
