Tho English armies under Buller anti Bobs are moving on parallel lines towards the Capitol of the Boers and tho war may be regarded as substan tially elided". The English went into hysteric.-, over their BU0C08S08. The good ohl Queen went down to London town and the populace went wild. The Queen Is over eighty and nodoiibt en joyed the racket. In the Philippines things are ussum ln? somewhiit the quiet of the grave. The President and his party have had a time Bottling th i status of Porto Rico?whether it is a par: of tho 1'ni tod States and whether WO should put a tax upon their tobacco and sugar coming into tbis country.

At the Paris exposition a statue of Lafayette is to be erected by Ameri cans. Congress authorized a silver Lafayette dollar coined and tho-o are sohl to aid the I Usiness, The Presl dent sent a commissioner to Paris to present one of these dollars to the President of the Kreuch Nation called a Republic. It was enclosod in a $1,C00 casket. A *?o s.ddlc on a $40 horse, don't you see. This is about the situa tion at home und abroad. In South Carolina we arc waiting for the winds to blow and dry off tho earth so that our good farmers can get to turning up the sod.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, de clined to bo interrupted by Senator Tillman and Senator Tillman in turn declined interruption from tht Alabama chevalier and complained of the discourtesy. This is the law of re taliation?eye for eye, tooth for tooth. A Chinaman at Hong Kong fell from n three story window striking and killing another Chinaman, and the friends of the deceased demanded re venge and punishment of the assailant. WhereIIpen tho Judge decided that a kinsman of the deceased might fall from the same window upon the first tumbler. Walhalla. This cultured community will this year celebrate the semi centennial of its foundation in i860 by erecting a monument to its founder, Gen. John A. Wagener. At that time the locality was a wilderness, but John A. Wago ner, (afterwards a brave officer in the Confederate army) led a colony of thrifty Germs s to the locality and it grew and nourished and is now one of tho most advanced and cultured com munities in South Carolina. I Here is a Pair. The Vice President appointed Sena tors Hnnna and Tillman on the part of tho Senate as members of the Board of Visitors to the Naval Academy at Annapoli.s. These twain be stalwart landlubbers and are well chosen to in spire the boys who must go down to the sta in ships. ' In the lexicon of youth which fate reserves for a bright manhood tlicro is no such word us-fall." So wrote the (treat dramatist?and tht so words inspired the > truth who risked all dan ger to execute the mission entrusted to him by the gn at diplomatist states man. We are living in an age of characteristic energy and pluck and all around us. in every city, town and hamlet. wo hear and read of "enter prises of great pith and moment'' to convert h: inlets into villages and vil lagos into cities. With these come competencies, fortune and success.? The man who grasps the opportunity docs well, but the man who makes the opportunity docs a thousand times better. Of course there is a tide in the life of every man which taken at the llood leads to fortune, but this is not tho young man we are writing about We are seeking to arouse the men who do not wait for tho llood to conic their way, but Beck the head of the waters and divert the current. The enterprises conceived by our young men recently we believe will win and these words are written to encourage them and others who aspire to serve their fellows and themselves. *** There has been some discussion recently about tho town installing a sewage system. A sewuge Sys tem would undoubtedly ho con venient nntl perhaps improving to the health of tin town. Indeed a system of witter works is neces sarily Inadequate and incomplete without it. The only objection to be urged is that Ihn town cannot afford it. This objection is one that at present connot ho over come. Tho ralo of taxation is 4>j?i??ndy ho high that tho hotter cla98 rcsi'leneo property pays oply three or four per cent net on the investment. Moreover tho terri tory of tho town is so great that the benefits of n sowago system would extend to only a part of tho population. The lime may come when a sewage system will he ne cessary at any cost, hut that time has not come yel and in the opin ion of The Advertiser, it would be great folly for the town at this time to assume any additional burden of debt. * * Had fur Kentucky* It looks serious In Kentucky the Re publicans ami Democrats likely to oollide in armed bands at any mo mont.
