The death of Mrs. Wallace was caused by grip, the result of over exer tion in faithful waiting upon her in valid sister, Miss Susan Adams, to whom she was tenderly attached, and who passed through the valley of death unto the life immortal on Th'anksgiv Ing day.

They promised. to hell us and we know they will do whal they have promised, and then we all every one of us, will be happy and se rene. First, we are going to have prohibi tion all over this State, from the loft3 peaks of the Blue Ridge to the "battle ments of. the battery" in Charlestor By the provisions of this-bill, every fel low can order as much whiskey as h< wants for his own use, but he must no "give, sell or barter" any of it away.

It will givi employment to many poor, needy fel lows, who now have no place in the line. At this dispensary a fellov can get a little *for "hbis stomach' sake," and a little for "scientific pur poses," &c., provided the dispensar; man doesn't charge more than 10 pe cent. on his investment. Nowv this is a grand idea, 2nd -w wonder why somebody hasn't though of it before. We all can see at a glanc that scientific pursuits will not only b fostered, but under these new condi tions will receive an impetus such a has never been known. Next we have that greatly neede< county government bill, which will b of incalculable benefit to us poor pec pie, and in fact to everybody. It make a good, fat place for a county judge an< county solicitor at good round salaries It gives us a court every two .months and these courts must have court off cers, and juries, and witnesses, all c whom must be paid cash, aad thes judges, solicitors, officers, juries an< witnesses will all spend their money and it will make money munch. mor "fiexible" and circulative.

AM FRANCf0800, CA4s -OI VamLLE.a 5Y EvaLL r. ers, in their combined and unlimited wisdom, will call a constitutional con vention of all the people, to frame a new constitution and do away with this old cockle shell under which we are living, and which is so at variance with our modern progress. It is true this convention will cost the State probably $100,000 or more, yet this is a small matter for a great State like ours, when we consider the great benefits and immunities each of us is to receive under the new order of things. For in stance, one of the changes will prob ably be the abolition of the two mill school tax, and inserting in lieu there of a poll tax of $3 on each and every constituent. It would be unwise for the people's representatives, after fram ing a constitution, to go to the trouble, time and expense of submitting it back to the people for ratification or rejec tion; yea, it would be foolishness to send it. back, because we would all vote for it if our leaders said so. They know exactly what we need, much better than we do, and after framing a "noble" constitution, it would be the height of folly to ask us if it suited us or not. There is no necessity for any such dila tory nonsense as this. Such things I would have been suitableunder the old Hampton and such !ike administra tions, but under our new reformatory, economic and progressive conditions, I to submit a new constitution, framed by the wise men of our State who-are well acquainted with all of our wants, necessities -and requirements, would be sheer nonsense-unworthy of a great people, led by great leaders to great victories.

It was Grown In South Caroina and Is Equal to the Best Eaglish Breakfast. BALTIMoRE, December 2.-The first marketable tea ever produced in the United States was brought to Balti more to-day by Charles U. Shepard, of Summerfield, S. C., who grew and cured the plant on his farm. The American tea was tested by Mr. Gillet Gill, who pronounced it equal to the best high-grade English breakfast tea and superior to many grades grown in India and China. The samples brought here by Mr. Shepard are all of one quality and character-black, crisp, and well scented. It makes a strong beverage. This quality of the Ameri can tea is said by Mr. Gill to be due solely to its treatment in fermenta tion and curing. Other methods of curing the American product will pro duce tea similar to the several brands y that come from India and China. Judging from Mr. Shepard's samples, Mr. Gill says he believes the successful growing of tea in the United States is established and that the industry should be encouraged and fostered.
