Yellow fever has broken ont in Savannah. The city of Stun ter is to have a public hospital. John McLaurin has hopped on to the president with both feet At last accounts Mr. Cleveland was stil alive. In another column will be found a few figures relating to the dispen saries. Read thorn and do yonr own thinking. What has become of the carnival committee? If the carnival is to be held the committees should begin working. Judge Simonton has decided that railroads can haul and deliver whis- key without fear of it being seized by Tillman spies. The question is asked if the future historian will speak of the dispen sers and the armed hosts of whiskey spies as the “Palmetto Regiment.” “The Reform Advocate” is the la test “official organ” for Tillman in Florence. This “organ” has the reg ular stops, and in whineing notes plays the same old tunes. The Abbeville Press and Banner lays the great need of the times in South Carolina is a daily paper that will advocate obediance to law. That’s pretty rough on the Columbia Register. An articls will appear in the Sep* tember number of the Forum show* iug that there are 400,000 mors pen sioners on the Government pension- rolls than there ever were soldiers in the Confederate service. Nearly all of the newspapers in the State have jumped on the Cotton Plant for its editorial insinuating that Judge Hudson was bribed to give a decision adverse to the dispen sary, Dispenser Cartledge, of Columbia, has been expelled from the Methodist Chttlcb, because he sells liquor as a beverage, It is said that the Baptist Church, of Timmonsville, is after chief dispenser Trailer, and that he Will be called upon to decide between hie position and his churoh member ship: The editor of the Newberry Ob server, writing about the editors ex cursion to Chicago, says; Bachelor Woods, of Darlington, is carrying a tape-line to measure the Chicago girls’feet.

From what we gather, the finau- cirl situation does not seem to im- >rove. Congress has met, the debate on the silver question drags along wearily, and it is not likely that any good results will be felt soon from that source. The repeal of the Sher man bill might restore confidence in the value and stability of the dollar, and in that way cause those who have funds boarded up to invest in notes and securities, when they have reason to know that those notes and securi ties will be repaid in the same meas ure of value as when they invested. But as long as the investing pnblic has any cause to believe that the cur rency might be depreciated, just so long will they abstain from part ing with their money or len ding credit toothers. There is as much money in the country to-day as there was a year ago, for the gold that has been shipped away has been more than replaced by the purchase of 4,f00.000 ounces of silver per month by the government Yet the scarci ty of currency has never been equal ed. Confidence in investments and securities of all kinds has been shak en to the core, and pnblic confidence is a thing of slow growth. People have become alarmed about things which there was no canse for; cur rency, the very article they first be came alarmed about they have fool ishly hoarded in their bosoms. There is no doubt about the scar city of currency, but if those who have money will put it freely into circulation, and it is kept there, a little will go a long ways, but if the farmer sells his bale of cotton and keeps the proceeds in his pocket, it it will not serve to pay for another bale of cotton, until it gets to the merchants or banks again. If the money in the community was deposited in the banks in stead Of keeping it out, the banks would immediately pay it out again and again, and if the farmers and merchants would, they conic very materially help themselves am others by simply putting their money into circulation. While there will not be as much money in circulation as usual at first, we believe that as soon os cot ton begins to move away, that it wil suiely bring hack gold in return, And, with the return of gold, wil! come confidence and prosperity. shocks of oats ami hay were on every hand. In one thing the people of Ohio and Indiauua are far behind South Carolina, and that is in regard to the fences, especially the old worn fence that very sadly mars the beauty of their farms. They have competitively little timber and why they should waste it in making rails is often asked. Chicago wfts reached about two o'clock on Saturday and up to this time we have had very ittle opportunity of seeing the many beautiful things in this truly won derful city, the bustle and rush of which is bewildering to town folks. On the street where quarters the trolley cars pass in such an endless stream that it is somewhat dificult to work ones way across the street. Last night a party under the guinsnee oi 1 Mr. Prsnce took a ride, of several miles, on the elevated cars, which, to most of us, was a novel experience. We went down to the water and saw some of the large steamers that carry passengers to the great fair. The most A Washington correspondent says that the Bsnate Finance Committee will report a bill allowing National flanks to issue currency to the par value of their bonds on deposit. The leading advocates of this hill express the opinion that the Senate will pass It without delay. Should it become fe law it will add fifteen or . sixteen million dollars to the circulating currency of the country. One of the brightest and most in teresting magizines rece'ud at this office is the “Southern States,” a new publication issued by the manu facturers Record Co. of Baltimore, M. cl The editors claim that the aim of the “Southern States” is to present accurate pictures of the south, and every issue is teeming with statistical information relating to the aonth and its industries.

Chicago, August 20.—The Edi tors excursion left Columbia on schedule time Tuesday, the only mis hap attending the departure was the absence of the Pullman cars that; were to have been wating for us at our starting place. The run was made from Columbia to Spartanburp without incident, and there we were joined by the balance of the excur sionists. Left Spartanburg on time and the train was soon pulling its way up the mountains, no easy task as two locomotives had to be put on and they puffed and smoked as i:! they were apparently very nuhap] and exhausted. We took in all t beautiful scenery along the route am li is needless to say how much it was enjoyed by those accustomed to ccmparatively level country. Only short stops were made at Saluda ani Hendsisonville.but at Ashvill we had two hours, the time being spent in getting supper and viewing this beautifully situated city. We di< not oatch our sleeping cars unti Paint Rock was reached and as was then about 11 o'clock the party, except sonM tireless fellows that never feeler acknowledge fatiguej were very willing to get a nights rest took some time to get everybody as signed, hot it was finally done and soon the tired exennionists were, in the land of dreams. The Herald was, for the trip, consolidated with the Anderson Intelligencer and was fortunate enough to be assigned to a lower berth. The train reachet Knoxville in time for breakfast am owing to some misunderstanding for which neither Mr. Prince or the E. T. V. & G. K. ft. were responsible, we had to remain there about twelve hours. Knoxville seems to be ful of life and its buildings hare a hear and substantial apperance and looks as if they were erected to itaml It is a great marl for coal and iron am around the railroad yards has a sutt and grim apperance- The scener m East Tenn. is wild and grand ani in the opinion of some of the part ’ superior to the far famed yiews of Western N. C. Between Knoxville and Cincinnatti the train passes through 27 tunnels and the lamps were kept lit all day. The gas from the coal smoke was very unpleasant and could not be endured for any length'of time without suffocation, to the delay at Knoxville we Lexington, the centre of the i Blue grass region, of Ken tucky, and the oity of Cincinnatti in the the night and of course were un able to see anything of these two places. We got breakfast at Indian- Safnrt top oi Thisi Victor IR til With rise only complete bicycle plant in the world, where every part of the machine is made from A to Z, is it ar- wonder that Victor Bicycles are acknowledged 'eaders?

To give an idea of its heigth it is only necessary to men tion that it is twenty two stories high and that some of the sto ries are very lofty. The walks along state street with its magneficent stores and other, buildings, all bril liant with electric lights, was almost worth the fatigue of this trip. We will have to defer any mention of the fair until our next trip. It is simply hut just to say that we had three of the finest Pullman cars in which to make the trip and that they were in charge of conductor A. T. Darrow, a native of North Caro lina, one of the most perfect gentle men and most obliging officials it has ever been our fortune to meet. The whole party became his devoted ad- miren. W. D. W. Mr. H.
