May we all have, during 1894, a napp and more prosperous year. We hope Congress will give us a hap New Year by passing tbe tariff bill, and tixi the day for its going into effect at no dist? date. It is probable tbat tbe Hen business will greatly curtailed during the coming yei Live at home and practice tbe strict economy is tbe motto for '94. Cotton seed continues to go oat of i country. Ia a few weeks fertilisers w begin to come in/but all tbat will be broug in casuot replace the cotton seed. The la " of cotton seed baa much to do with she ' crops. The new county government law appears be the best enacted by the Legislature. T . section that gives the Governor tbe power appoint the Township Commissioners is t feature that we do not like. Why not alic the people to select these commissioners at t primary election as they now do the Tri . Justices ? Congressman W. H. B raw ley has been a pointed to succeed Judge SHnontoo as Unit Sta! es District Judge. The appointme gives entire satisfaction to the Conservati T of the State, and ts equally aa onsatiafacto to the Reformers. Judge Brawler will fill t olfice with that distinguished ability thal h marked his >o ti re career, both public and pr fesstonal. The schedules on the several roads entert! here are very favorable to the business Sumter, and our merchants should beg: '' with the new year to push into the territoi opeo to them. Sumter is a superior marke and all that is needed is that the i nd ii cerneo be shown tbe people ia the surrounding com try. Sumter .?bould continue to grow, ao effort is all that is needed Tue new law for the government of tl special school district of tbe City of Sunitt 'bas a feature that is objectionable on practki grounds. Tbe law provides that four con missioners shall be elected every two year This makes it possible that four men eoiirel unacquainted with the needs of the achoo may br elected, and the schools would suffi injury by reason of their ignorance. Had tl law provided that two of the four commit si oners be elected every two years, the obje< lion would not be so serious. We fear, hov ever, that tbe law will result io much injur to the schools and little satisfaction to tb people at Urge. The schools will be broogt into politics and tbe educational interests wi be overlooked and neglected in the contentio engendered . The dispensary business received another r< boke from Judge Simonton on last Toured* in tbe D. S. Court, when Theodore S. Gai! lard, C. B Swan, K. B Pepper and C. G McDonald, whiskey spies, were ordered to b arrested and held to bail in $6.000 each. Th proceedings were in the uature of a sui brought t*y Anani? Cantioi, an alien and subject of the kingdom of Italy, for $10,00 damages. The constables on October Sri last entered the s>ore on Tradi Street an< searched it for liquor, which they failed t find. On the same day they entered his resi dence, 52 King Street, maliciously searcbet the premises and carried away a number o cases of wioe, the private property of plain tiff, not offered for sale, and imported befor the passage of the dispensary Uw. The plain tiffs wife, who was eociecte af the time wa frightened, aad from the fright suffered i miscarriage The Legislature has adjourned after accom plisbing abont as much harm as possible, ant we are thankful for the adjournment. Per haps, had tbe session continued longer, othe; and worse laws may have been enacted. Th; name affixed to this Legislature by A. B Williams, of the Greenville New? is so appro priate thar, it will always be known as tb? June Bug Legislature. It buzzed and ham med and went this way and that ; but Till mao had a string fastened to it and it went nt farther in any direction than he willed When he pulled the string it came down anc die bis bidding. If at any time it appeared to have an opinion, Tillman pulled the string and tue majority was speedily convinced thai it was much better to stultify itself and obey tbe dictares of tbe string bolder. We trust we shall never again see a Legislature so ser vile, so bitter, so partizan, so dead to shame, so dead to the interests of the whole people, so viciously beat on achieving factional ad? vantage, and so determined to get public pap at whatever sacrifice of public and persona] decency. The record is written, and it is dis? graceful eoougb to gratify even the most bit? ter enemy of South Carolina. Tbe second edition of the December World's Fair Cosmopolitan brings the total up to the extraordinary figure of 400,000 copies, an unprecedented result in the history of magazines. Four hundred thousand copies-200 ton3-ninety-four million pages enough to fill 200 wagons with 2000 pounds each-in a single line, in close order, this would b? a file of wagons more than a mile and a half long. This means not les3 than 2,000,000 readers, scattered throughout every town and village in the United States. The course of The Cosmopolitan for th? past twelve months may be compared to that of a rolling snowball ; more subscribers mean more money spent in buying the best articles and the best illustrations in the world ; better illustrations and better articles mean more subscribers, and so tbe two things are acting and reacting upon each other until ti seems probable that the day is not far distant wheo the magazine publishers will be able to give so excellent an article that it will claim the attention of every intelligent reader in the country. Letter From Wedgefield. WEDGEFIELD, December 25, ?893. We hope you bad a very merry Xmas; and we wish for yon a happy New Year. Mr Editor. Ir is exceedingly quiet for Xmng, but hope thia?* niftv brighten with next year. The Indies of the Baptist Church h*d a hot supper last Friday night and notwith? standing the hard times, were abundantly rewarded for their trouble. Mr Lyde bas declined the call of the church, consequently it is still without a pas? tor Re?. Mr. Chandler filled his appointment at the Methodist Church las? Sunday. Mr Currey is still supplying the pulpit of toe Presbyterian Church. Rev. John Kershaw filled his appointment at Presbyterian Church at four o'clock this afternoon. He preached to a large congre? gation. If the election could be changed to Christ? mas Day Tillman's chances would not be so good. A Ti ll man i te was heard to say that he intended to write Tillman a letter and ask him to send him two gallons of fine rye liquor for his Christmas and if he tailed to send it, he would write him another telling him thai be helped pull him in that "waggin" through the streets of Sumter, but d-him he wishes now he had fallen into a mud bole for being such a d- fool.

There is also a study of Nantucket by Helen Campbell, called "The Boding af Barstow's Novel" and this, with Thomas Nelson Page's short story introducing the "Editor's Drawer," and a tale of San Francisco life, by Geraldine Bonner, completes the story-te!ling of tbe issue.

President Cleveland and every member of his cabinet, except Attorney General Olney, wbo is in Boston, spent Christmas Day in ? Washington with their families. The day j j has been a quiet one at the White House, a : large part of it devoted to the children and ' j their Christmas tree which was put upSaturday ! j evening, although Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland i j informally entertained several personal friends , j both at lunch and at dinner. The idea of ? going-to Lakewood, N.J., for a few days has j j been abandoned, but tbe President bopes to i j get a little recreation this week on a short ! ; bunting trip. In view of the misstatements which have I ! been made concerning the attitude of Com- j j missioner Lochren toward the pensioners the ; following from a speech he made in the case ; j of Judge Long, of Michigan, whose pension : waa suspended by him, wbich is pending : in a Washington court, is worthy ot atten- J j tion : 1 I am not anxious to worry or to cut I ; off my old comrades with whom I tought aod ' ' carried a musket. I am anxious that they ! j should get all their dues. Yet, ai the same ' I time, as an officer of the law, I have a sworn i ; duty to perform, to see ibat they do nor get j ; more than they are entitled to." By the way, speaking of pensions, it was ! lately decided by Commissioner Lochren that j no retiring official of the pension office could ! do business as a pension attorney before thr.t j 1 bureau until he had been two years oui of i office. Had Gen. Raum n^adea similar decision the bank account of "Corporal" Tanner, who was so unceremoniously kicked out of that office by Mr. Harrison and who is said to i have made a fortune as a {?ension attorney would be very much smaller than it is. Ii is. however, a wise decision and would be well if it were made a rule in all branches ot the government service, as it is well known in Washington lhat many officials make use of their positions to accumulate information which they turn to valuable use as attorneys after they leave the government service ; and cases have been known io which they have undertaken as attoneys to have decisions wrongfully made by them as officials reversed by their successors ic office, the inference hi? ing that the decisions were intentionally made wrong in the first place. Secretary Lamont scotched a sensational story, that be proposed compelling the clerks j of the Record and Pension division of the i War department to again take up their j quarters in Ford's old theatre, by making the I following statement: "There is no purpose j or disposition on the part of any officer of this ! department to quarter any of its clerks or employees in any building not determined to be perfectly safe. On that point there is no question for uneasiness. The $6,000 appro? priated by Congress fo? repairs to the etd ; Ford's tbreatre building bas been expended under the direction ot th* Chief of Engineers : of the Army, HS directed by law, nnd the buiidiug has been restored to the condition it I WM s it? before the commencement of the improvements in progress nt the time ol' the accident, with some consequent strengthening of its foundations While it is probable that it would set ve ? ts former purpose, the commission of experts ap? pointed ny the department to examine and report as to the safety of the building rind that certain additional work should be done before it shall be occupied t?y clerks. This report will be referred back for an estimate of the cost of this new work, and when returned the matter will be submitted to congress for its direction as to further alterations ' Just before the Kermie ad- : journed for the recess Senator Voorhees ? offeJed a resolution against the quartering of clerks in this building again The number of Congressmen who went home to spend their holiday, was unusually large this year; consequently there is just now a decided lull in the talk about the tariff, Hawaii, etc. which has been constantly going on for mouths and which will mke a fresh start next week when the absentees will again be on hand prepared for the hard and long struggle that ts before them. A sun-committee of the House Ways and Means committee will spend the most of their holiday in working upon the Internal Reve? nue bill, which it is hoped will be ready to be reported to the House when it again assembles. Several democratic members of the Senate Finance committee are also at work on the tariff, so as to be prepared to receive the Wilson bill when it is sent over from the House. The work of the Senators has been so far mostly confined to the gather? ing of information which will be useful later oo. Speaker Crisp, who is still in Washington, i3 confident that the Wilson tariff bill willi be passed by the the House before the first of February, and that it will not be necessary to ! deny any man the right to be heard thereon j in order to get ii through by that time.

Mr. Tho*.

Tho first house dinner of the season is always a great event at the Savage club, and the convivial party that gath? ered around Sir Augustus Harris in no respect fell short of the standard of ! former years. Among the entertained i and entertaining no one commanded ; more lively attention than Bill Nye. j the popular American humorist. Mr. Edgar William Nye is 43, but he looks cider. He might pas3 for a lead? ing chancery barrister or a !>enignant professor, with his well shaped crani? um, the contours of which are conceal? ed by no hirsute growth, his round, clean shaven chin and his gold rimmed spectacles. There is indeed nothing of the typical Yankee in his appearance, as there was in the somewhat cadaver? ous and angular visage of poor Artemus Ward. He favored the Savages with one or two yarns, which he told in quiet, deliberate, unaffected style, his voice having but the faintest echo of the American twang, while his stories depended for their point on a subtle sense of humor rather than on the ex? aggerated use of expletives and the startling effects of light and shade that usually mark the funny productions ol the far west.-Pall Mall Budget. Cinnamon Cigarettes. The smoking of cigarettes or tobacco by boys under the age of 16 has been | practically stopped in Connecticut by ! what is known as the anticigarette \ law, which made the sale to them of cigarettes and tobacco a misdemeanor. A substitute was recently put on the market by a manufacturer, who evi? dently thinks there is a fortune in the passion which boys have for imitating their elders. The substitute is the cin? namon cigarette, which does not con? tain any tobacco and therefore does not violate the law. It is made of cinna? mon bark, shredded when wet, so as to resemble tobacco. The smoking of these cigarette s. which have a nut un? pleasant tust e. has become a fad with the Connecticut youth. So common is tho practice that boys of six and eight years are seen purring the cinnamon . substitute. Parents, however, regard it as only a little less objectionable than the tobacco cigarette, because it creates in the boy a fancy for smoking towhich ho will almost inevitably yield when ho gets out of knickerbockers. In Hart? ford a remonstrance against the sale of the cinnamon cigarette has been made by principals of schools.-Exchange. Kins I.obenquia. King Lohengnlais the representative of all that is fierce, bloodthirsty and . credulous among his people. Ho is the son of tho Chief Moselekatse, who j led the fight into Mashonaland two gen- \ orations ago. Constant beer drinking and a tendency in the Matabele race to the putting on of flesh have converted the king of the Matabeles into a person- j age remarkable in Matabele eyes for physical attractiveness and even beauty ithe aesthetic standard of the tribe be? ing stoutness). He is probably the fattest man within 30 miles of Bulu wayo. He is every inch a king in the opinion of his subjects, weighing no less than o 00 pounds, and obtaining no slight consideration from that circum? stance alone, though, if one comes to consider the thing calmly, with very little good reason, for what merit can there be in excessive corpulence in a king who, in the words of the poet, can notoriously bear Xo fatness near tho throne, whose frown means decapitation and who would certainly contemplate with envious and frowning eye any pretender over 15 or 19 stone in weight.-Black and White.
