We refer to those posts put up in some of oar streets, presumably to keep people from j driving on the sidewalk. We know of a number of instances in which vehicles have been damaged by striking these posts at night, in places that are imperfectly lighted, when there is no intention of driving on the side? walk, but simply that the driver cannot see exactly where be is going. Now one of two things ehoaM be done, either let these posts be removed, or let more light be turned on, so that people may see where they are at. In this way much profanity will be avoided, and some property spared, for which the city is now morally responsible Legion of Honor At the annual meeting of the local lodge of the American Legion of Honor on Tuesday night officers for the ensuing year were elected.

The Cosmopolitan Magazine bas risen within the past three years from comparative ob? scurity to a position io public estimation, not second to that of any of the old roonthlns This has been accomplished by merit and able management. The tbTeory of the publishers of the Cosmopohtanat^ms to be 'bat the best of everything is none too good for its readers and the result proves the ?isdoia of this course. The Jaouary edition was 150,000 copies, and che publishers celebrate this acbievment by the offer cf 1000 scholarships io any of the leading universities of America.

Mr. JSdiior : The new year bas brought the usual amount of-moviag, which is not con? fined this year to our colored frienr s. Each one striving to better hts condition. Our farmers used close economy hst year, and the dose of the year found them from bad to worse from what they were a year ago The causes the public knows as well a3 I do. Your correspondent bas met several represen? tative men from several counties of late, and bas failed to find an endorsement of the pros? perous condition of this Suite, as published io the Neves and Caurier. So far as this sec? tion is concerned, we are not "io it." It don't pay to chase a rainbow without a cer? tainty of finding tho pot of gold at the end of it. Our Legislature has adjourned with the usual amount of local laws placed annually on the Statue Books to remain de*d letters, and are ft curse to any Stute. Our wisesolon9 seem to have wasted the State's money and time in wrangling with each other over fac? tional differences. If most of them had adopted the example of Messrs. Kelly and Rhodes, just sat and looked on, it would have been better for all concerned. Taxes are higher and money spent on objects tbat the people can't afford in such times as we have. We see that Capt. Williamson did not real? ise bis sanguine expectations in getting his guano bill through. We hope he will follow7 ?t to the Senate next winter and "see that it pisses," for it has good points in it. Cur friend "twitted" us in tbe campaign la6t summer for allowing our bill to be side-track? ed in tbe Senate during tbe closing hours i?y the Charleston Senators in order to defeat the railroad bill, and lo I be has bad bis "side tracted" too, with nothing to do but follow it up. "He who laughs last, laughs best " We are sorry be struck at the farmers in his bill to file rent liens, bot tbe "big majority" said "no." The lien law is good enough for credit purposes, until something better is found. The bill introduced by Mr. Manning to in? troduce the Australian ballot law will not do for this State, and the "big majority" did wisely to promptly kill it. Such a law does for tbe Northern States, where the people are educated, but in this State thousands of our white fellow-citizens bad co such educational advantages in their youth, and they would be disiranchiaed under its provisions. Let the Constitutional Convention to be called consider our political condition in all its bearings. Weare surprised at Mr. Man? ning to i:ffer such a bill, after his public ut? terances in the campaign of last year, for if I am not mistaken he Was opposed to the "dis? franchisement of any white voter." It is amusing to know the position of "our" delegation cn the temperance question. Mr. Kelly was appointed on the legislative com? mittee to select one of the btlls introduced on prohibition that would best carry oat the wishes ot the people of this State on that sub? ject, out our delegation did not support the biil aa recommended, nor any bill on the subject introduced if we .are not mistaken. This being so, it was their duty under the mandate of the people of this County and State, to frame a bill ou prohibition that would satisfy them aud endeavor to get it through. They bad as much right to iutro duce a bill on tb:* subject as any man in the House If the big majority killed them out, well and good, their skirts would have been clear. Their public excuse for not voting for the bilis introduced is not valid. The Evans Dispensary Law should be faith? fully tried hy the people and if a failure it can be repealed. The people have plainly 6poken ou this subject and it something is not done a political upheaval will take place the like of which has never been s?en. The writer would suggest, at this early day, that the next United Slates Senator be nomi? nated in the primary as tr?e State officers are. This will take the fight out of the legieiatuie and will satisfy the 3d party people. A A snow storm raged here tor about-an hour to-day. The ground was covered. The severe cold for the last month has se? riously injured the grain crop. Some parties have lost their wheat. This ts heavy on them. The many friends of Rev. C. C. Brown are glad to hear of his improvement. We trust he will soon be fully restored to good health. We aie sorry to hear of the sickness of Mr. E. E. Rembert. Hope he will soon be well again. J. E D Pisgah, S C., Jan 13. If S3. The Kassian Student. The material position of the student is not an enviable one. Poverty and want stare him in the face wherever he goes, and his personal appearance leaves innen to be desired. In 1850, when the Russian government wished to limit the number entering the university, the most effectual way of stopping the in? flux was by giving notice that only those would be received who were able to dress themselves decently and keep up an appearance suitable to their rank. By far the larger proportion of stu? dents are sons of officers whose pay is small and whose life is a continual struggle against want; about one-third are children of merchants and shop? keepers. Out of 4,000 in St. Petersburg and Kiev ninety belong to the peasant class. The mininum that a student re? quires in the year to keep himself at the university has been calculated at 375 rubles, or nearly ?60. Imagination can hardly picture the condition in which the student lives, sometimes without fire or light. Three or four of them often occupy "he same room, and each pays 1}.> rubles (4s. Gd.) a month for his "corner." Cases have been known where he had only five copecks (2}?d.) a day to buy food. The purchase of books under these circumstances is not to be thought of. Some credit is due, however, to the government for the assistance it has afforded. A large percentage of stu? dents have always been assisted by the state. In 1877 82 per cent, were in some j form or other aided by the state.-Scot-1 tish Review. Where- Immigrants Stop. When we look at industrial condi? tions it is learned that the absorption of immigrants has not been equal. The facts in this respect cannot be given for 1890, but for 1880 they indicate what may be expected when the full facts for 1890 are reported. In 1S80 the whole number of people engaged in agriculture was 7,070,493. Of this number 812,829 persons were of foreign birth-that is to say, 10.06 per cent, of the whole number employed in agriculture in 18S0 were foreign born. Tho total number employed in manu? facturing, mechanical and mining in? dustries in the United States in 1880 was 3,837,112. Of this number 1,325,787 wero of foreign birth, and this number is 32 per cent, of the whole number of persons engaged in these industries. The tendency therefore of our immi? grants is to assimilate with our me chan;:;! industries. This increases the supply of labor in comparison to the de? mand, and may in some localities tend to lower wages and sometimes to cripple the consuming power of the whole body of the people.-Carroll D. Wright in Popular Science Monthly. An Ohl Practice. The practice of throwing an old shoe ! after a bride is, it seems, quite misap plied when it is done by some of her \ companions for luck. Accordiug to the spirit of the ceremony, which is of very ancient lineage, it should he done by the parent or guardian of the bride, as indi- ? eating a renouncing of all authority j over her. Chieftains in fondai times j took off ?heir shoes and handed them to I their conquerors in token of accepted | defeat, from which practice this slipper I throwing custom is said to have de? scended. As, however, in these modern d;iys a worn slipper in the parental hand has a distinct and obvious significance, it is well perhaps that the rite of weddings has undergone revision. Some irrev? erent spirit might dub its observance as tho "Passing of the Spanker."-Her Point of View in New York Times.

That marriage brings respon? sibilities upon the man, is understood. But, there is one responsibility that is often lost sight of. You may be a model husband ; and, during life, may make your bride the hap? piest of women. You do your duty ; but is that your whole duty ? The happier a woman may be during the life of her hus? band, the more keenly will she feel her position, if, dying, he leaves her unprovided for. It is the duty of every man, when he swears to love and cherish her, who is to be the partner of his joys and sorrows, to insure his life, that after death, she might not be left to want and misery. The small sums that a man may invest with us, that other? wise might be dissipated in trifling expenditures, are made to increase by prompt and judicious investment, to grow and bear fruit for the future benefit of himself or his family, whether he sleeps, works or plays. As the wheels of Time go 'round every revolution is adding to his store. "The Penn" Is a purely Mutual Company. The best guarantee of its solidity is its record for nearly half a century.
