Congress has reassembled and all eyes are turned towards the nation’s eapitol. The 54th congress begins its session at a season of tranquil it j’, the result, in part, of national pros perity. The political wave reversed Itself in the last general election, so that the Republicans feel easy as they hold the legislative reins of power. Speaker Reed again is placed in charge of the “lower house." This was to be eipected. He assumes the responsibilites of the trying position with becoming modesty, and is now ready tc govern as his own imperi ous will may dictate. Crisp, speaker of the 53rd congress, tl still the acknowledged leader of the minority. His clear head will be needed time and again to cope with the republican phalanx led by the member from Maine. Many new members have come to the front to legislate for the “dear people—my fellow citizens," They will soon be sifted, and will take their proper positions as naturally as water seeks its level. There is a lull in the storm, which will likely con tinue until the President’s message is read. HAMILL IN SPARTANBURG. A master workman is Prof. H. M. Hamill. His work has been among the young and those who devote some of their time to studying and teach ing the word of God. As a normal teacher he is an expert, especially in that line of it where these methods are applied to teaching in the Sun day school. The two little volumns, “The Le gion of Honor Normal Bible and Training Lessons" of which Prof. Hamill is the author, are models of simplicity. In the smallest possible compass are condenced facts and fig ures and precepts and approved plans that are easy of access and ar ranged so as to be readily remem bered. In Spartanburg, on Sunday morn ing, before the Baptist Sunday school *nd many others assembled to listen tc the expert teacher, he demon strated through the lesson for the day his aptness to teach. What a pleasure it is to listen to one who knows his subject, who knows his scholars, and knows how to present that subject to those scholars that they may know it too! Such is the power possessed by Prof. Hamill, and it is not acquired in a day. faced each oil nt Appomattox, be fore the south - 1 called upon to lend two of her son-- to preside over two important departments of the gov ernment. Secretary Herbert has proven himself the right man In the right place. Our navy is better equipped than ever before In the history of the na tion. When wo consider our exten sive and exposed sea fronts, and then look at our small naval equipment we would feel abashed, were it not for the fact that its efficiency is un questioned. A good deal of praise is due Secretary Herbert for his vigi lance and for his perseverance. When called upon to give up the position he lias held with so much honor to himself and advantage to the nation, he can retire with the satisfaction that he has done well. A good way to secure respect is to command it by being prepared to enforce your claims. MR. GRIFFITH AND LIMESTONE Prof. Griffith has so long been con nected with Cooper-Limestone In stitute that we never think of one without the other looming up before us. Many will be the regrets that Prof. Griffith Has thought best to re sign into other hands the presidency of Limestone. It is not because he does not like to teach, this lie will continue to do. It is not because his sympathies are not with the young, he still works for their improvement and delghts to see any sign of prom ise that spans their horizon. We can imagine that the bent bow needs occasionally to be unstrung that its elasticity may’ be retained and the arrow be sent all the more truly to its mark. The care is a heavy one. How heavy, he only knows who has home the weight of responsibility for years, and felt almost alone. We believe with Prof. Griffith that the efficiency of his teaching will be greatly in creased when he can stand before his class with mind and heart con centrated on the work of the hour. GARLAND GOODE GONE. CAROLINA DAY. | Thanksgiving day was the great rallying day, at the Atlanta exposi tion, for South Carolinians. Several events conspired to make it the great day. Atlanta put on her holi day garb and joined the endless pro cession. XoPless than $150,000 was spent by Carolinians alone for this privilege, on this clay, when Presi dent and Governors united in calling upon this great people to stop and think and return thanks to Almighty God for his wonderful goodness. At lanta has pleasant words for Car olinians led by Tillman and Evans, but rather condemns some of the ex pressions uttered by these “observed of all observers." Tillman and Evans were too frank to express just what they thought. Well, we are used to it over here, and have ceased to wonder and raise the cry of alarm. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear- There is only one way to cure Deaf, ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it isentiely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can bo taken out and tiiis tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free. F. J, CHENEY <ft CO.. Toltdo, O. £j^Sold by Druggist. 75c. He Dies in the Penitentiary of the Wounds Received at Galfney. On Friday the train from <’oliimMa brought tin* dead body of Garland Goode, who died in the penitentiary hospital of a gunshot wound received at Gaffney where* he was recaptured. The corpse was accompanied by the father, Mr. J. 1). Goode, of Clifton, who had gone to Columbia, but too late to see his boy alive. Garland Goode was 2(5 years old. They were met at the depot by friends who took the body to Henrietta, N. C., for burial. Garland Goode was an unfortunate boy. He became addicted to the use of intoxicating drinks, and when un der the influence was reckless, almost to desperation. He was easily led into unsavory society. It was this misfortune that got him into the difficulty which led to his conviction. Jolly and Hopper, who were convicted for theft of the ’hale of cotton for which Goode was convicted as un ac complice. have both stated to Mr. Goode, the father, that in fact Gar land was not guilty. That ho got in company with them the morning after the stealing, and they, having liquor, got him to drinking, and he staid with them; but he knew nothing of the stealing. If these two men have told the truth, Garland Goode died innocent of the crime, and though a severe sufferer for his former mis takes he has been providentially res cued.—Spartanburg Herald of Nov. 30. —« - Major C. T. Pieton Is manager of the State hotel at Denison, Texas, which the traveling men say is one of the best hotels in that section. In speaking of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Major Pieton says: “I have used it myself and in my family for several years, and take pleasure in saying that I consider it an infallible cure for diarrhoea and dysentery. I always recommend it, and have frequently administered it to my guests in the hotel, and in every ease it lias proven itself worthy of unqualified endorse ment. For sale by \Y. B. DuPre.

Not quite one month has elapsed sine* the fall election of 1895, with sweep ing Republican victories all along the line, save in Virginia and Mississippi, and what have followed these party successes? Two very serious strikes; the suspension of one or two very large manufacturing concerns; a de cline of more than half a cent In cot ton, and a proportionate falling off in the prices of wheat, corn, oats, lard and pork—involving, altogether, a loss of nearly $45,000,000 to the agri cultural classes since the election.
