Th State, already one of the bigges ^wspapers in the South, if th r management continues its aggresaivi ftftu progressive policy, bids fai Id Sead all the rest in Dixie lant in the not distant future. Without disparagement to or invidioui comparison with other d a i I ) I newspapers iu the State (for tbej . awe all good? the history of Th< State siuce its foundiug eighteer Jfctrg ago has been a wonderful ^lory of pluck and merit and y achievement, We frequently dieamgree with The State's editorial ? a. i i . _i utterances, doc we are hi way* sglad to give praise where, as io i this case, it is so well deserved. . A correspondent to the Colurabia State shows by comparative statement that South Carolina pro. ? iiuces more bales of cotton according ik' v to urea planted thau any other country in the world, the average being 40.5^ bales per square mile. This places our State in the lead 1q the production of both cotton and corn, as the phenomenal yield 'of Mr L?rahe of Marion county v ou one acre of corn has Dever "been approximated, South Carolina also leads in a number of other things not to be measured by statistics and there is no fairer land than ouie on the- habitable globe. We may mention, by way of pavanMioaic *),<? Williainsbunr conn tjr is jnst a little better dwelling place than an? other section of this garden spot so lavishly endowed by Dame Nature. The first news received here of the verdict in the trial of the Coopers for killing Senator E W Carmack was sent to The RecoaD by the News and Courier and bulletined in the postoffice. This courtesy on the part of our esteemed contemporary was appreciated by The Record and the public generally. The consensus of opinion of those whom we have beard eipress themselves is that the verdict was a righteous one. Comptroller General Jones has reported a number of couuty auditors to Governor Ausel for not attempting to enforce the income tai law. He will request the Governor to take some action with regard to the derelict officials either by removing them or requir ing tnem 10 carry out iue provisions of the law. Meantime the time for receiving income-tax returns has been extended to April 20. Teunessees General "Washington seems to be about as much a misfit as Arkausass Jeff Davis. Childreu especially like Kennedy's Laxative Congh Syrup, as it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar. It not only heals irritation and allays inflammation, thereby stopping tne cough, but it also moves the bowels gently and in that way drives the cold from the system. It contains no ;V opiates.

That they bave I " j done more ditching, clearing old giown up hedges, harrowing and general improvement of the plauta 5 tions is strikingly noticeable to the casual observer. Tobacco barns are u being built and beans for the market are now planted by a few, so that g cotton will not be the only money t crop. More corn highly fertilized, e plauted on the "Williamson plan" - somewhat modified, is tbe idea they . have for the present vear. In fact, a " general diversification of crops, a better selection of seed, the use of 8 the latest improved implements in e plantiug and cultivation, seem the general tendency. Around Benson is heard the whis* 1 tie of the locomotive hauling logs for e A C L corporation,making connection e with G and W railroad at Rosemary, r This is not a railroad for the pnri pose of haudling freight, but last . week special arrangement was made and eleven car-loads ot fertilizer were delivered within two miles of this place. This is not a circum* ' stance to what eould be handled if i the accommodation were available. i This territory would prove profita* I ble to capitalists projecting new railI roads.

LakeCity,March 22:?The play "Diamonds and Hearts," given at the graded school auditorium on last Friday night ly tfct high school department of tin Lake City graded school foi the benefit of the school pianc fund, was a splendid success both in the manner in which V was presented and the aoioun realized from it. The play was given entirely by the pupils of the high schoo denartment. and thev all de serve praise tor the creditabh manner in which they renderec their respective parts. The} I were all pood,but a few deservt special mention. Miss Ara Rodgers, as the "leading woman," added much to her part by hei peculiar fitness for it. Miss Violet Askins, as the indulgent mother of the villain, was ac excellent old lady. Mr Ottc Floyd, as the hero, deserves - i % ro n special menuon. air oara urahatn, as the villain, added much strength to the play. For the comic parts, it would have been impossible to get better characters than Miss Lai la Rooke and Mr Charlie Green. Miss Rooke, as "Sis," was one of the best amateur comediennes ever seen on the stage by the writer. Mr Green kept the house laughing. For the negro character, Mr Robt Tohnson would have been hard beat. Mr G Haselton added greatly to the evening's entertainment by the singing of "Old Black Joe," he being made up as an old time darky. Misses Eloise Sturgeon and Jaunita Gussett furnished the music. which was creatlv en joyed. Misses Graham and Blytti, who generated the whole entertainment, deserve especial credit for the success of the play. In all, it was one of the best amateur plays ever presented in Lake City.
