Maj General Joseph Wheeler, the real hero of Santiago, has determined to resign from the army service in order to run for Congress in Alabama. The Second South Carolina regiment is now comfortably quartered at Camp Cuba Libre, near Jacksonville, Fla., and the First, it is thought, will in the next few days be ordered to Columbia to be mustered out of service.

Miss Winnie Davis, known as the Daughter of the Confederacy, died at Narragansett Pier, Iihode v Island, on Sunday morning, September 18. Miss Davis had been ill for several weeks, and her con dition was considered hopeless ? Ions before she died. A few days ; * .before her de.it h,she,however, was considered better,an J it was even thought that she might be removed from the hotel where, with her '' mother,she had spent the summer. ...

It's the old story of locking the stable door after the horse < I escapes, nevertheless some good must be accomplished by a partial ( banishment of the scum of idle < and vicious negroes, which has for o > , years floated on the troubled waters of vice in certain quarters of the metropolis of the State. It would ; be well, however, to turn some at jiention to the actual murderer,! f while driving out the horde ol possible evil doers, lest, as in the war with Spain, the chief issue be lor- 1 gotten. , A GROWING EVIL. 1 __ , 1 It's a little out of our line to { discuss through these co'umns c matters pertaining to religion,but, j having the welfare of our people j at heart, we could not refrain from clipping from a conteinpo . j rary the article on Mormanism i published in this issue, mis is a jgreat and growing evil, and the hold that these self styled Latter ( I I)av Saints liave obtained anions jour people during the past few 4 years is alarming in the extreme. Ten years ago the religion of the Danites was unknown to us I save by vague report of the Mountain Meadow massacre and the polgyamous indecencies of the followers of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young in far off Utah. By almost imperceptible de grees this monstrous larce of a I . religion has crept onward till now there is not a Slate or territory in I he union where Morman elders j are not planting the seeds of the j noisome weed of their religion. Indefatigable and insensible alike to persecution and rebuff, these . zealots do their "missionary "work, and in the most specious and insidious manner bring the evil to our very doors. llow to deal with this menace to ourchnstian civilization is one 1 of ihe mort perplexing questions ! (hat confronts the church ot (iod and the State as well. Legisla: tive statutes seem but to work to their advantage, while mob vio- , lence enlists sympathy in their behaii. J lie most etiective way | to strike a blow at their encroach-1 < | ments seems to be through 1 hei ministry. It is among the igno-!, rant and illiterate classes that these' l 11 ; strange, new doctrines li nd afoot I j t hold, where minds untrained are: ' i _ powerless to combat an argument,1' i 11 and the sleek-tongued deceivers! i ? ,< find them an easy prey. J} It is the duty of our preachers I to go among such people and ac- J quaint them with the fallacies of' this re'igion and to educate them enough to open their eyes to its r abominations. An exposure of ' c i the enormities in the guise of re- t jligion perpetrated by false teach j] ers would do much to counteract their influence, and in this way mir preachers mi^ht find an un- ; limited field of labor for the cause ; in which they stand as exemplars. TWELVE MILLION BALES. Based on nr?rri',nltural reports | eeeived, the cotton crop for the ;eason of 1898 1)9 is estimated to b-s n round numbers, 12,000,OOObales I'hese estimates,as a rule,are substantiated by the actual yield. \\ ith a <rood surplus on hand from he 11,000,000 bale crop of last ear. the chances for better prices rre slim indeed. It is true that new channels of commerce have recently been opened up, which Kill to a certain extent aid in consuming the product, but in the face of such an enormous yield the 2tTect will be scarce'y perceptible. Whatever argument to the con frary is advanced there is no rea enable doubt that the small demand for cotton is due to over production. Repeated attempts it organized effort to cut down acreage have lesulted in failure, ?o that the only chance we see is fjreach farmer, without talking about it, to reduce his cotton crop, and raise an abundance of provisions. We know of several who, lave tried this plan, and in every nstance it has proved a success. While not much money is made, he farmer can at least keep out >f debt. The day of planting mormonscrops anil working them m credit is past, and the sooner >ur farmers realize it, the better hey will succeed in their business. Y'oung men, I have a pretty ineof neckwear.
