Senator and Mrs. Til I man, Representa tlve and Mrs, i.ixey, Representative and Mrs. Fleming und Representative and Mrs. Klliott were among the guests. We all change with the times A few yea s ago it was plain lb n Tilltnan, of "Hu er-," making his wet kiy visits to the li tl ? town of Augusta to dispose of his surplus butter, eggs and other farm truck. Now we have our homi -spun Senator, who formerly dodged the Co lumbia Club as a Pest House, in full evening cost nine, with hi. logs under the mahogany of Buchinham Palace, Washing) n, kissing g'as-es with the great dignitaries id the Federal Court. Hi'u I his constituency don't object, whilo they seo exemplified the theory that tho dout rlne of evolution Is true and thi re i in th?? moral,material and politic il or d continuous growth and development, llereulos, one of the demigods, wa-always r presented with hisclob, und of coiisn when the historic painter co s to p< rpeiuate these so oial occasions our horo will be faith fulh ropro8< nt d with his pitchfork and claw hammer costume. Tlllman is a Senator of talent and of course well equip ed to shine in any company ami we feel oitsy that, old South Cifo iua is we'l ropri sent'd. And a good dinner, with all ihe game preserves of earth drawn upon, and the -oas, and tho vin tage of ab lands and times to sparklo with the otl'orvoscent and Intellectual salt, is not to be ignored every day. As a matter of faot we are all glad that our Senior Senator Is wanted and appro* (dated when the goo things are going. .1. .1. Bozeman, M. B.

Six negroes WereJxille1 dead and wo young men were waylaid and shot, but not se riously. A member of the Tolbort family at MeCormck's, the post-mus ter of the town, was forced to leave th" community. Peace has teigned however for more than two years. The McC mi ek i other! returned to his bom ? a tew days ago when a troop of white in.mi visited the town and shot 'l'olb rt to pie. . -,. This was all wrong. There are white republicans in every town in the -taie and the necessity for Bh Otilig them out is not at a I appar ent <mr egistration laws entirely protect ii nol for t he present at least, our civilization Is safe, the dominant and ruling white men of South Caro lina a,-o not alarmed at the presence of republican-, aud their associations with negroes. :'*# The general assembly just adjourned managed to gel rid of a good deal of money, bin in our opinion there was no waste The provision for a state geologist was in the line of progr-ss and development of our reoources.

Up to 18?? the constitutioiial school tfi was two mil s ."od a dollar poll tax. The constitution of IHH? gives to the public schools three mills ihe poll tax, ami besides i share of thedispni ary earn ings. Again many school districts von* special taxes for the sup ort of the public schools. \\ th CleillSOn, Win throp, the South arolinn College, the Citadel and a half dozen other great institutions in the State there should be no lack of accomplished teachers to guide the young idea how to shoot.? With all these advantages there should be plenty of learning in the state in a very short time and the complaint of Popo, the poet, "A little learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring" ought not to apply to conditions in South ('arolinn. V Anderson and Labor Contracts. Judge Benet at Anderson found a specimen of an agricultural labor con tract used in that county which brought out a most elaborate lecturo to the Grand Jury If that contract >s the rule, then the lecture was pat to the point, but we take It that tho specimen in the hands of His II nor whs the exception and hardly proves the rule.

B. II. A., In Newberry Herald and Nows. Current Events. For sometime it has been argued that an extra session of CougreBs would fob low tho fourth of Marcll. The Cuban constitution and the ship subsidy bill nvo matters of pressing importance. The president has called the senato to moot in extraordinary session on tho fourth of March and this looks very like no oxtra session of congress. It is understood that the president and Mark llanna favor an extra session, while republicans and democrats all repudiate the idea. In Europe, Asia, Africa and South America matters are more quiet than usual. Mrs. Carrie Nation, of Kansas, it would seem, has been handicapped in some way and is rosting in jail in Tom ka. The country press of the Stato make a chorus of attack upon the free-pass legislation of the reeent genoral as sembly. We join in tho cry of wolf, bti'ng prepared to s*y that his excel lency must jab in tho t eeth of such legis lation. It Is not Inconceivable that the legislators are less wise and less vir tuous than the gentry who haudio the gray goose quill. Ouo Thomas?Carpet-Bagger. A colored man named Thomas, of Ohio, has published a book about the negro, not atal complimentary of the race, dealing with the negro with gloves olT. A Massachusetts paper quotes largely from tho contents and he Columbia State re-publishes them. Thomas wns a one-armed carpet-bag ger and in tho '70 campaign spoke in tho Court House in this city and showed great tact in getting through with his speech and with our boys, lie was a Trial Justlco in Nowl erry In 1s77, was convicted of oppression in of ticc in seizing and selling property without regard to law. Judgo Kcr shaw presided at the Court and the writer prosecuted as Solicitor. Thomas left the State, going to Ohio, and it was said that a messago came to New - berry requesting that Thomas should be allowed to return there, as ho bad converted a Democratic District in Ohio into a Republican District. He is a bright mulatto. - * a Attorney Ueneral Bellinger's Report. Attorney Oeneral G. D. Roll nger sends us a copy of his report to the Oeneral Assembly for 1000.

The report is valuable for legislators and specialists, but of little interest to the unprofessional reader. The report is creditable to tho Attorney General's office. To Our Lady Readers.
