Robin Hood and his descendants In ling and were romantic Knights of tho road and made it. lnt< resting for lonely wayfaring people traveling the high ways. They rarely attacked other than gentlemen and ladies In their four-in hand coaches, and their earnings were charitably divided among the poor and distressed. The adventures of theso re man'ic knights are the Christmas read? ln^ for our lads and lasses to their ad miration, inspiration and edification. Prank M. Brown book-keeper of a Ken lucky bank, has skipped with f!200 000, the entire assets of the Institution.? Alvord, of New York, stole seven hun dred thousand from the First National Bank of Now York, and Is now in ar rest and will soon be wearing stripes in KOino fashionable House of Detention for BUch elegant gentlemen. But if Robin Hood and Iiis bold moon-light riders of the centuries back can learn of the beautiful hauls of their modern descendants, how they must envy their glorious opportunities, while they blush that their earning:, are gotten without the gallantry and heroism anciently at tending their vocation. There is even S flavor of romance and heroism In halt ing a train Jesse .lames fashion and lighting for a hundred miles through a wilderness to hold the booty. Hut to loot a concern by the tamo process of book-keeping should shame the hero of a vulgar midnight burglary. ? * Reducing IhO Smith's Kepresentation. It is now thought that'll will not be done. The Republican leaders think they would Rain nothing by the course President McKinley is also reported Opposed to tin policy as it would inter fere with hi', hope of a white Southern republican pa ty. It Is conceded very generally that the South would prefer losing representation to restoring uni versal ignorant negro suffrage. A mem ber of Congress desiring re-election met an old farmer who told him of his sur prise that ho should want to go back as his party wits usually beaten and ac complished no good for tho South. The politician suggested that allowance f-hotlld be made for the big Yankee majority, the voter replying that an old farmer went into his cotton field with a shot gun on his shoulder and a rabbit getting up the farmer tired, al lowing four rows for the rabbit's jump, and missed the rabbit. And so it seems that Southern Congressmen bag littlo game except for a particular homo measure when toadying to Northern sentiment and Northern interests. The population by counties under tho recent census Is published Charleston leads with 88,00(1, Spart auburg 05,650, Ornngcburg 50,653, Anderson, 55.728.

The cotton crop in our section is about all picked and sold and the order of the day is sowing wheat and oats. There have boon a great many oats sown and they are doing finely. If tho woather is such that will admit there will be plenty of wheat sown, and tho preparation of tho land has been much better than common. I think the farm ers In this section are going to profit by past experience. I think they have con cluded ong ago that the shortest road to bread is to sow plenty of wheat, no matter what the price of cotton may be. We were not at the wheat farmers' association meeting, Saturday, llth inst., on account of pressing business, but we are in full sympathy with tho movement and will join tho association later on for we are very fond of good home grown biscuits.
