We all change with the times A few

evening cost nine, with hi. logs under
the mahogany of Buchinham Palace,

Somewhilo ago there was trouble in
Greenwood county, one of the Tolberts
being a candidate for eontrress, cul
minating in a riol at Phoenix when a
white Democrat was killed and Col
bert badly si>o?, w ho was a Robllblican
ca didate for <? ngress. 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

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.
The nice poll t is now the elec

The people ot South Carolina are
not stingy towards the schools. 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. Wo rathe**
think that His Honor should have
done tho subject In a doz n lines, in
stead of indulging a voluminous ha

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.

only 5 were white men, throe of these
for violations of dispensary and two
for assaults. The report is valuable
for legislators and specialists, but of
little interest to the unprofessional

How we Miss Ltttlo Annie.
Oh how we miss little Annie
When we go to Bee them all:
The children use lit romp and plaj
All up and down the hall.
But HOW we mi-- little Annie dear.
She's gone tit heaven above;
Where the angels sing the beautiful
song,
Tis the home ol (Jod and love.
But oft we think if we could bring
Little Annie hack to us,
l or it's so hard to let her go?
Though we know -he's in the arms of
Jesus.
She loved her papa ami mama so,
And little brothers too;
Her little sister, Ohl they did
So dearly love her too.
We can't forget her bright blue eyes,
And dimple cheeks so lair;
She was so affectionate and kind
At home and everywhere.
And yet we cannot understand
Why God did take her home ;
I But though we know she's at the gate.
Waiting for us to come.
This beautiful world is full of love,
For (Jod does tell us so;
But Oft our hearts are filled with grief
Ami why we do not know.
Little Annie's name is dear and sweet.
It's fresh as the ever-green now;
We think of her at morn and night
And in our daily prayers.

The Entering Wedge
To your consideration is gen
erally the cost, though cost should
always be relative to value to be a
fair test. Tho lumber we sell may
not always be the cheapest in prioe,
but it'n always cheapest in the
long run, because we give the host
value. Thoroughly kiln-dried,pro
perly saw od and planed, you'll
find it "matohes" well, and will
be a lifo-long source of satisfac
tion.
