In the early days we had the Olympic games in Greece of whloh Jove in' his nearby habitation on Olympus was the ohief patron. All Greece was in the quadrennial con test, historians, orators, dramatists, and athletes contending for the vic - tor's crown, usually a wreath of oak or 'laurel. In these civilized States the great contests are just closing with the charming Indian Summer days. The 'Kings and Queens of the turf have just had their great test of spoed upon the fashionable courses-and and are laid up cow for the winter. In North Carolina under the oaptalnoy of young Prince Lorillard, son of tbre* Now York Tobacco King, the fanoy setters and pointers of the nation during the last week were brought together by the "dead game sports" and their noses and heels put to the test. In old Ken tucky the followers of the ohaso aro as sembled from all parts of the land and some half dozen ounning reynards aro run down eaoh day to test tho speed of the silver tonguod hound. A few eve nings since Gentry, the fastest harness horso In the world, was auctioned olY at Madison Square Garden, New York, (where Bryan spoke) before three thousand Knickerbockers at 910,000, a half dozen bands discoursing rioutous music. All the same, our pigs aro fattening and December will bring us sausage. The prospects of the Cuban pa triots (sooallod) aro reported brighten ing In this connection the South Atlantic and Gulf Coast fortifications are being brushed up. Those faots, coupled with Consul General Lee's visit to the States, backs the sugges tion that President Cleveland will re cognize Cuban Independence on Jan uary 1st and thereupon Spain will in stantly declare war against this Gov ernment. In the tussle tho Spaniards would loose Cuba and wo would fall heir in the long run to sugar and to bacco plantations of that "gem" of tho Antilles. Sugar and tobacco fit In nicely. Every man of us Southern boys from the octogenarian to the fif teen year old lad will answor to the first tap of the drum and before you can say Jock Robertson, Sing Owens, George Moore, Quince WTlbor, John B. Smith, Pink Blakeley, Ol Thompson, Mase L?ngsten, Tom Crews, Jim Trayn ? ham, Ben Lanford, Bob Fowler, Dr. Cox, Treasurer Mock, < 'apt Goggans, Wade Anderson, Wade Henderson, Billy MoOlintock, Lafayetto Teague, Thad Teague, Thomas McCoy, Bob Cunningham, Jno. Shaw, tho scribbler Of this article, John W. Little, Aaron Wells and a hundred others will be full scholars on Uncle Samuel's Pension Bolls. So, just let them come, If you please. Mr. Cleveland, oan feel mighty easy over the situation. Tho old boys and the lads aro mighty easy in this latitude. We want tho sugar, the to bacco and tho pensions. The sooalled *!gem" we count as good as ours. Our good friends the plutocrats of the East we give notice now are not to bo in It. Cuba is our meat. # ? # No Kissing Glasses. Rrisel (republican) Is elected Gover nor of North Carolina over Watson (Dem.) "What the Governor of North Carolina said to tho Governor of South Carolina; "It is time to take drinks." Ellerbe can't stand this. Civilities are off for two years. Populism did it. ?% The Rev. Dr. S. J. Barrows, editor of the Ohristlan Register, of Boston, who has been elected to Congress, speaks modern Greek, and at a recent meeting of Greeks in Boston spoke to them in their native tongue.?News and Courier. It will be "Greek" to tho South Carolina delegation and "don't you forgot it." * ? * A State Beporter interviewed Gov elent Ellerbe and as to his policy he say s that, he will look to tho developc ment ot the resources of the State and thereby reduoo taxation; and look to uniting and bringing togethor the white people of the State. In these, aspirations tho good people of ail fac tions will heartily second him. * * ? Our "war dogs," Seoretary Lamont and Gen. Miles, favor an inorease of the standing army. This is absurd.? Every fellow who has a Hen on his orop or a bank note maturing will rush ,^to the front. Such a host hasn't mus tered since Xerzes. Charles F. Crisp, son of the laid Speaker has been nominated to All the unexpired term in Congress occa sioned by his father's death. Ho is twenty-six years old. This is a grace ' ful tribute to his father's memory. ?% Tom Watson of the Georgia Bar burnt his law books and went into politics. Ho has been burnt in poll ' tics and gone back to the law. ?** Gov-eleot Ellerbe went last week to Augusta and it is suggosted that, he might have stopped at Trenton, Sena tor Tlllman's home. *?* The campaign Is still very lively?in Colorado.

The Yorkvlllc Enquirer la a re liable newspaper on questions of fact and by what mischance the following paragraph crawled Into its columns, we cannot explain: "Our gold standard friends, who, some weeks ago. were promising a, rise in the price of cotton in the event of tho election of McKinley, are now hedging by asserting that if Bryan had been elected the price would havo been lower. Just how this would have been, of course, we are unable to say; but confronted with the error of judg ment as to tho election of Mr. McKin ley, we think we have a right to infer that our friends were equally wrong In their predictions as to what would haVe followed the eleotlon of Mr. Bryan." What gold stanndard "friend" pre dicted a rise in the price of cotton? Answer! The gold standard advocates dis tinctly aid not predict that the elec tion of MoKlnloy would improve tho Erioe of agricultural products. They eld that Ft would provent a panic. The price of cotton is only a very slight degree dependent on the course of politics anyhow.?Charleston Post. When the people of the South havo learned that the prico of all products, agricultural and mcohanlcal depond upon supply and demand, they will have made a largo advance towards solving the problem of prosperity. "Wo need other hundred Industries to make a prosperous South. Fortunately for the cotton planter to-day there are hundreds of thousands colored labor ers employed othorwlso than In cotton Holds. Mechanical contrivances arc cheapening cotton. Eduoate your sons and they will not have to compote with tbo oheap labor employed by your neighbors. Colonel Johnson said last night that if MoKinlov gavo prosperity, he thought the froo silver Issue would bo dead for 1900, but on tho other hand, if tho present bard times continues to exist, then Bryan four years hence Would be the Democratic leader and sweep tho country.?The State. But tho trouble lies right hero, ' don't you know:" Oar friends Tho State and Joe Johnson have demon strated beyond peradventuro that without free silver prosperity can't come. Debate is out of order. It must be noted that irrefutable ar gument and logic cannot be overcome by faots, however they may bo.

WOMAN'S mm* KN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential fhan the cigar and other luxuries in which he indulges. The daughter asks father, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Does any sane man not relize this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Reflect a minuto ! Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in practice by wife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or guardian, arc you going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited right?simply the gift of a Piano or an Organ ?
