A Vienna professor asserts that the world will come to an end on the 13th of November. 1899, when It will collide with a great comet. In Ibe circuit court of Green YilleJudee Watts decided that a man could not be forced by the town council to put down a brick aidawalk in front of his place of business. The next Congress will.be DemS^. ecratic. Mr Dinglev did it with k hie little hatchet. He has given the American people an object lteaoa in economics.

Say, friend, did you ever visit Kinfstree 9 It's an exception. There is a paper published at HelSprioeS named the Arkansaw tlaaw Cat. Its motto is, "God help the rich, the poor can beg." Ill declares that it is a paper "of U?F~p.e. for the people, to be I paid for by the people." It advocates **one country, one flag and one wife at a time," and declares that R it in favor of the elevation of bene thieves and pnblic morals.

This makes ? A Webster, ot Orangeburg, complete ,master of eftveoionies as regards such appointments in South Caolina." i ; t [- &C ?????? Judge Siniouton has decided? a was proper, and as we expected?that original package agencies cannot be operated in places Where the sale of liquor has been prohibited bv statutes antedating the dispensary law. The infer anco is also that dispensaries canaot there be established. Th.s decision will bare the effect of closing all liquor agencies in towns where dispenraries hare been forbidden, and few will regret it. The essence of Jndge Simonton's previous decisions is that outside dialers have the same rights as State dealers, or the State itself as a dealer in liquors. No lessi and no more. Where prohibition exists by state law or local ordi' nance it most prohibit against aU liquor-sellers alike. This is fight.

Five-Cent Cotton. It makes us sick to see farmers forced to sell their hard earned ? i:... i. 1 cm mil ;u live ctri'is it |n>iiutt? twenty-five dollars a bale, hardly enough to pay for its production. In September, 1S90, the cotton market opened at a fraction over 9cents,and held that through OcI lober. The fanners were advised .to hold their cotton for better I prices. The staple dropped immediately to 5 cents a pound and i did jiot recover for quite two years. When McKinlev, the prince of prosperity, ascended the Republican throne, and began to rule this land, cot ton was 7 cents and over. The henchmen of this great ruler loud'y proclaimed that better times thau Klondyke had come and were coming. All the cotton mills opened lip, all the unemployar) vi'tiro f g% l\o nnt I a tvnrlr ini) thp I millenium dawn could be seen in the skies. Notwithstanding all this putridity of rot, cotton began to tumble until it reached its present price.
