Judging from the statement that a new lino type is being installed, we gather that the paper hereafter Is to be all home print.

It is ourh us but true, nevertheless, that not one time was the inevitable "square meal" suggestion thrown out In "The State" the morning after the pressmen readied Columbia. It look ed as if niuy nail had lost confidence in his boast at the last moment. Ho should not hovo los! faith so soon for, with the Colonia's sorvico and tho barbecue at rtldgcwood, tho town lived W< !! up to Its reputation ? ? * The South Carolina Magazine, which was being published by Walter E. Duncan, of Aiken. has suspended publication. While the magazine wa3 very Interesting ami beneficial to the state, the Held was not largo enough and we judge Iho financial backing was not largo as it should have been. However, its promoter has suggested ibi.r ho may begin publication again in the fall and if he does we hope thai the second beginning will bo more promising than tho tlrsl. ? ? V At its annual meeting in Columbia last week, the State Tress Associa tion elected Mr. 11. L Watson, editor of the Greonwood Index, as president of the association. Mr. Watson suc ceeds Col. August Komi, of Columbia, who has been at the head of the so ciety the past two years. The selec tion of Mr. Watson was unanimous and It was a most admirable choice, for there is not a moro wide-awake, progressive newspaper man In the State. ? ? ? The commencement programs of two of the Slate colleges. Winthrop and Clemson. have reached this of fice and each hears the imprint of a Richmond printery. This Is helping homo industry with a vim?we don't think?Fort Mill Times. We know from porsonal experience that is a rather hitter pill to swallow, hut It's true.

Right at this time when the dry weather is hindering the farmers fium (toil)}; much work, wo would urgo them in make ispill log drags and as soon aft r the rain as possible, (which is bound i" come some day,) got out und drag all the adjoining roads. Re inembor that when cotton hauling time conns and each driver will count, as a cotton picker, a big saving in timo and money can be guaranteed by llxlng the roads in such condition that two mules can pull what three pulled before. This Is being done in several adjoining counties and should be done in Laurens. ? ? ? The hospitality displayed by the people of Columbia, especially the members of the I'ress In the city, the Chamber of Commerce, the street car company and others who were always on the alert to take care of the "conn try editors." was as expected of a I city with the reputation of our ciipl \ tal. It has always shown the spirit j of the hosts of the old South and on this occasion did it well come up to j and eclipse its former reputation. ? ? ? Unless Gov. Blease had some other j motive than that of tempering mercy '? with justice. Wo can see no reason for his questioning the integrity of So I llcitor Otts in the Hasty pardon mat ter. It seems to have been quite a disappointment to the Governor when Solicitor Otts changed his mind and declared his intention. If the witness es could be found. *o push ttie mat ter further, if Gov, Blease thought I that he was doing the proper thing in pardoning Hasty and was really conscientious in his action In Issuing the pardon, it looks to us as if he , would let the matter rest, as far as he ' was concerned, after he had freed j him. Aftep he had done his duty in the matter It was no concern of his whether Solicitor Otts decided to try the other indictment or not. If Mr. Otts went back on his word it was no concern of the Governor's, ISach suc ceeding act of this kind, on the part of the Governor, makes us tinner In the belief that a kind ot association of criminals is being formed, to turn the balance in the next campaign. ? ? ? COLUMBIA'S GROWTH. In bis address of welcome to Hi ? Pressmen, President Herbert,, of the Chamber of Commerce, asked thai when the newspaper men returned to , their homes, they carry only one re quest with them and that was to tell the people of their districts of the growth and advantages of Columbia. While the growth of the city can be fairly and accurately judged from the population statistics, still to grasp the real bigness of Columbia, >ne needs to take a real tour of the long and busy streets and the suburbs. The past growth of Columbia is not looked upon with jealousy by the other growing cities of the state, for they would have their capital worthy of South Carolina. It is. instead, we believe, the hope of all good South Carolinians that Columbia shall be equal in pros perity ami dignity with others of her sister capitals, and while each and every one of our cities looks forward ? to the time when they will be great centers of trade and manufacture themselves, it can hardly be said that their desire Is not that Columbia should prosper likewise. It was therefore with pleasure that the Pressmen noted the growth of their capital ami hoped that in the future her prosperity might be even more marked. Columbia has an advantage over all other cities of South Caro lina with one possible exception. It can hardly bo said, though, not wit h standing hoi present size, that she has taken advantage of her central loca tion, her many railroads and her nat ural prestige as the capital of the state, to grow like she should have. The merchants and business men have been just fairly wide awake, but the aggrosslvi nesa, which characterizes many men of our southern cities, is not as noticeable in Columbia as It should be. Especially is this true of the wholesale trade, in which Colum bia should he a leader. We note that an advertising fund is being raised to Induce people to come to the city. Columbia is In partially the position of Laurens; she does not need to advertise for people to come into her city, but It needs to do something for Itself and the people will come of their own accord.

All had run off but a few ancient ones too feeble to walk to town. We knew right off that some devil ment was up?"plotting was going against the whites." Most of our vot* era were anxious to be off to Laurens to see how things were working. On j arrival we found the streets full of white men. but not a "coon" was to | la- neon anywhere. The insuiry was, Where Is the Hotel de Africa situat ed? Soon as located the "boys" thought it was time to arouse the sons of Ham for the duties of the day. This they , proceeded to do by hurling brick-hats through the glass windows. There were not many panes left on Main street. From Fleming's store to the depot four election bpxes were opened. There J wns pulling and hauling all day of the negroes, trying to vote them with tin' whites. We could not do much with them, however. If Hie ticket did not base the buzzard on it, it was no go : with the darkey. Their leaders had them well drilled and many were vot ed several times. They would vote! at one box and go around to another box and vote again. We voted Andy Jackson with our black Democrats. The negroes, after the election, told me that Jack went j around to the other boxes and voted , three times with the Radicals. So you see we had a lively day's work of it. The plan was to concentrate the ne groes at Laurens. where the leaders, could control them. One box was opened at Hamilton Old Field, and it was thought the whites would rally at that point and vote. At Hamilton's they had a hot time and came near having a riot, but the day passed off without bloodshed. What a time there was after election?watting for the question to be decided who should rule South Carolina. We old men have passed through troublous times.
