Correspondents who do not contri bute regular news letters must fur nish their name, not for publication, but for identification. Write short letters and to the point to insure publication ; also endeavor to get them to the office by Monday and Thursday mornings. Cards of thanks will be published at one cent a word. Heading notices will be published at ten cents a Mne each insertion. Obituaries will be published at five cents a line. All correspondence should be ad dressed to Ed. H. DeCamp, Manager. CHARLESTON. It should be a matter of pride and gratification to every true son of South Carolina to see the grand old “city by the sea” shaking off her lethargy and arousing herself to a new and more vigorous life. lor three hundred years Charleston has stood for patriotism, for intelligence, for refined manners and noble deeds —for all that is best and noblest in modern civilization ; and her history is resplendent with names and ex ploits that would adorn the annals of any city or country. Never did Athens in her palmiest days produce men of a higher degree of intellectual culture; never did Rome at the height of her glory have brighter names on the roll of her statesmen and heroes. Riot Charleston out of history and the star of the palmetto state would shrink in magnitude, and the glory of the past would be limited to the dimensions of a half-told tale. No city of ancient or modern times has ever suffered a greater number of af flictions without 'annihilation, or en dured so many cruel blows with such unyielding fortitude. Baptized in fire, overwhelmed in floods, rocked to her foundations by earthquakes, rent and torn and battered by all the hor rid enginery of war, she has proudly and defiantly held her place among the cities of the earth proving her right to live by exhibiting in ever trial a spirit that dared to suffer and to die in defence of her honor and her sacred rights. Jf there is a native South Caro linian in the State today who is not proud of Charleston, her history, her associations, her sacraiices, her hero ism, and all the glorious memories that cluster around her, be is un worthy of the legacy left him at tte cost of generous sacrifice and heroic blood. We hail with joy the blushing dawn of a brighter day for Charles ton. She has passed through the night of affliction and proved herself true, she has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting, and it is in keeping with the eternal fit ness of things that the morning should laugh away the clouds and the blue skies should again bend in love over the grand old city. We trust that the people of the whole State will manifest a live in terest in the great exposition to be held in Charleston in 1901, and the way to manifest that interest is to talk for it, to work for it, and to buy stock in it. No one is asked to give anything. It is certain that part of the money invested will be paid buck, probable that all of it will be re turned, possible that a handsome profit will be realized. Thousands of dollars from the Piedmont region ought to go into this exposition, for whatever benefits Charleston bene fits the whole State. It is pretty certain that the genera* government will appropriate $250,000 for putting up buildings, and that Charleston and the rest of the State will raise at least $250,000 more. When this is done the greatest expo sition ever held in the South will be assured and the whole state will re ceive an impulse which it has never felt before. To increase the brightness of the outlook, the United States Senate bus passed a bill authorizing the re moval of the naval station from Port Royal to Charleston. This means much for the city and State. It means the deepening of the channel leading to Charleston harbor, the spending of millions of government money in our State and the making of Charleston a great exporting and importing city. The out-look in all directions is encouraging to every man who feels an interest in the material welfare of his State and its metropolis. NOTES ANU COMMENTS. empire on the earth—an empire that rules the wide domain of India and is in a groat measure responsible for the welfare of the inhabitants, is exerting her energies, taxing h< r resources, and sacraficing her soldiers in sub duing a people whose only crime ! s that they desire freedom and love their native land. One half the money and energy ixpendedin this scheme of high-handed oppression, would relieve the starving millions of India and make the power of Eng land a blessing on the earth. ♦ •♦ ♦ ♦ We hope the people will turn out to the celebration at Cowpens on the 2fith inst. The day will come only once a year and our people owe it to themselves to keep alive the memo ries that cluster around that historic field. Measures are on foot to in terest congress in the place, and they will never be abandoned until an ap propriation shall be secured, suffi cient to establish a park worthy to keep sacred the memory of the deeds performed there one hundred and twenty years ago. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The 18th of May, and the crop of county candidates is exceedingly small. Perhaps it is in sympathy with the dry weather and the small crops of corn and cotton, and that when the refreshing seasons come all crops will flourish together. The gubernatorial crop is doing l tter, consisting already of four blooming candidates. But that is a crop of heavy growth, requiring a longer time to mature, and it is more nec essary that it should get an early start. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The villainous potato bug is again on the rampage, and unless his opera tions be circumvented at once, the Irish potato crop will be ruined. Where this bug stays and how lie fares through the winter, nobody seems to know. When first seen in the spring ho is full grown, and equipped for business. Nothing but Paris green applied in solution to the potato vines will make them unpala table and save the crop from destruc tion. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ No rain has fallen in this part of the country in over three weeks. Ground that was not plowed soon af ter the rain, is now too hard to work and late planted crops cannot come up until it rains. The dry weather, however, is favorable to wheat, and we think the wheat crop is more ex tensive than usual. Perhaps after all, everything is about right.

The famine in India has reached appalling proportions. Perhaps never before in the history of the world were so many people suffering and dying for lack of food as are suffering and dying today in the vast realm of India.

He stated to a Ledger reporter yesterday that he found the gang doing good work and the people pleased with it. Mr. Lipscomb, like every one who goes to Cherokee township when the wiieat crops are growing, is loud in his praises of it. lie says he hasn’t seen such prospects in years, and that the big fields of it remiiidtd him of wheat fields when he was a boy. He attributes the fine condition of the crop to thorough preparation, liberal fertilizing and tbe general careful farm work for which our over the Broad farmers have long been famous. He found other crons in as good shape as was possible with ihc orevaiiing dry weather which has somewhat retarded work. Another New Stori*.

Bi.AfKsni’Ru, May 18 —The com- mencemGi.t exercises of the Blacks burg Graded School were held in the town hall, Friday evening, May 11th. Essays were real by the numbers of the graduating class. Win. F* rgu- son Dye dealt with the question, “.Should we sympathize with the Boers.” In an able manner he showed plainly by facts that ad mitted of no doubt just why we should morally lend our sympathy with the South Africa Republics and disphytd England’s oppressive policy of cclinozation at any price that lias lead to this unjust encroach ments on the rights of the Boers. Miss Badio Francis Gallaher treated “The man of the Age*” Af ter comparing him with the “New Woman,” she spoke of his duty and practically applied it to the efferves cent youth of our !>v\ u town.

After the delivering of the diplo mas by Rev. D. M. McLeod, the audience was favored by an address by Prof. II. N. .Snyder, of Wofford C liege.
