It lias adopted u joint resolution proposing biennial sessions, which we think is a move in the right direct ion. A bill lias passed the house allowing the counties to hire the State convicts and to work them on the public roads. This is an important meas ure, and means a great deal for the prosperity of the State. 1 hen the broad tire bill is up again, and the broad tire will come along with good roads.

We believe that the prohibitionists would gain a stop by uniting with the local option forces. Local op tion would at the first in all proba bility give us prohibition in one- fourth or one-half the counties of the State. That would he a great gain for prohibition and would give its advocates new vantage ground for another aggressive campaign.* If the prohibitionists ever win they must be content to win step by step.

Etta Jane, Jan. 10.-—Yesterday was one of the prettiest days we have had since the new year came in, and our people improved it by going to work on their farms. A few farmers have been turning their stubble lands. There are a nood many cases of colds in our community, some quite severe. Iti ports say that our free school will last only about three w>eks longer this year; others have just started and some haven’t commenced yet. W'e hope that our legislature will be able to find out and remove some of the troubles witli which the free schools have to contend. The fact is, the children who can and only do patronize the free schools PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. IVoplf You Know siml You Don't Know.

Your correspondent has been quite unwell for several days and is really unable to give a full news letter this week. We are glad to hear from our old friend Mr. Thompson Humphries, who is still up and active for a man of liis age. He is one among our oldest and best white citizens. He knew all about Gaffney long before there was ever a thought that it would ever be the stirring, thriving town we now find it. He wrote, sung and taught music long before the "mamas” of some of our up-to-date musicians were born. He is tLe champion upland watermelon raiser of the county. Capt.

Ititli insl.l Wki.i.i okd, rS. C., Jan. lo.—‘‘Ben Anthony, a young white man from Glendale, Spartanburg county, while this evening leaving the south bound passenger train at South Tiger tres tle. a mile south of Duncans, in some way fell. His leg got under the wheels am This can : more than the young man could hort time after the minishing the crop yielu. , standi he died u be done by making more manure on ^ operation the farm, by better preparation, and j Anthony was to commence work better cultivation. Critizistn of the war in the Philip pines is freely made in Congress, and in many cases is pretty severe. Senator I’etigrew in a speech the other day said: “The war in the Philippines gives the lie to every Fourth-of-July oration that has been delivered since the founding of the government. ’ Senator Nest said. • ‘Wo have the bubonic plague added j to leprosy in Hawaii; we have starva- | tion in the Puerto IlicO; we have on- | rest and disquiet in Cuba; and we j have a war of indelinite length in the | Philippines. Is it treason to say j this?” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ At this time when everybody that , eats, or drinks, or wears, or handles, j or otherwise uses any thing, is coni- : polled to pay tribute to some greedy tru-l . it is pleasant to read that the 1 gr( at coal trust will not make an-i other advance in the price till the tir«t of April. Then an additional thirty-live cents will bo put upon every ton. That is evidence that this trust, lias a soul, and a kind one at that. The most of the Southern people will have passed through the cold weather by the first ol April, and for wanning purposes between that time and the first .of November, they wouldn’t give a snap of the linger for all the coal in the mines. General Wheeler is coming home from Manila, it is presumed, in dis gust because no suitable place can be found f"r him. It is thought that his plan of campaign savored too much of blood and thunder to suit General Otis, whose mild disposition and plodding methods constitute him an office warrior. General Wheeler of lute years has shown himself to be little more than a soldier of fortune, and by so doing ho has cast u shade over the glory of his early achievements. The fairest Hewer in Hie wreath of fume which posterity will twine for those who fought and died fur the Southern Confederacy, is tliat one which shall kc< p fresh the memory of the grand truth that they fought and died for a piinciplc—for tlie sacred rights be- qmuthed to them by their fathers. W’e are sorry to see so able and substantial a paper as the Baptist Courier putting u quasi endorsement on the extravagant appropriations to the state colleges. At the same time the Courier calls upon tlie peo ple of Greenville to make private contributions to one of its own col leges. Doesn’t the Courier know that but for the wholesale free tui tion grunted by the State, Greenville would have no difficulty in equipping and maintaining its own colleges? That the whole tendency of the ac tion of tlie State is to discourage private generosity and benevolence and to hamper and cripple private and denominational institutions? It seems to us that the Courier will take upon itself a diffieult tusk, when it undirtakcs to advocate j for the I’liumix Bridge Company.

H. An thony. He was a young man of line character, was possessed of all the qualities of good citizenship and is mourned by a large circle of rela tives and friends.

As there are several claims set up for the authorship of the old war say ing, ‘'Here’s your mule,” we quote this from "Morginolia,” a war diary kept hy ‘‘Bersonr.e.” It came about in this way, and fully illustrates the good nature of confident General Hood: “A soldier of the Ninth Georgia Regiment, while passing General Hood’s quarters, said to him, "General, will you take a drink with me?” The soldier, swinging his can teen over iiis shoulder and feeling lie had a rigid to he more intimate, thus addressed the General: "General Hood, when you want a drink ‘here's your mule! ” The General thanked him for his kind offer, but excused himself. Continuing, the soldier said, "General Hood, when you want any lighting done ‘here’s your mule!’” The General, unable to control his risibility, laughed heart ily, and assuriM the Georgian that he would call upon him. | Cnder the caption, "Three Wild j Confederaie Irishmen,” wo find this "A northern cor- v. as accidentally within our lines previous to the bat tle of Fredericksburg writes his home paper: ‘Thinking I could not pro ceed through the ConfuUrate lines while they were advancing. 1 turned into the tirst tavern and waited about an hour and ,i half, when three Con federates made their appearance, who proved to be three Irishmen, strag glers from General Early'> force, who had evidently been indulging in their national proclivities. I had a con- V( rsatiun witli the threeConfiderates, regarding them as a fair type of the lower order of tlie Confederate sol dier and wishing to ascertain the sen timents of that class. Their ex pressions were about the same as those which I had often iieard from the lips of the Confederate officers, and only differed in the brogue in which they were clothed. One, speaking for all, said: 'What the divil are you lighting us for? You may bate us now, but you’ll Diver put us down. By my sowl! we’ll light till tlie lust man of us is kilt, mid thin, be jabbers, the women will take a baud at it. You may light us for all eternity, and thin we won’t be whipped afther all.’ Our Federal scribe said it was enough for him.” W’e regret to hear of the untimely and unlooked for death of Col. Wil liam M unroe, of I niou. He was one of the brightest lights in his profes sion and besides lie had some noble traits of manhood and a gentleman. We also regret to hear of the death of Miss Eilie Hill daughter of Mr and Mrs. Giles M. Hill, which took place at Gaffney last Friday. They have our heartfelt syinputiea. We spoke recently of a free ferry across Broad river for ihe conven ience of our over-the-river friends.
