Ut r ; O ? WEDNESDAY, DEC. 19, 1894. ITEMS. lo Japan it is considered uodigoified io ride a horse faster tb aa a walk. The farmers' alliance of Kat sas has resolved that it would be a bad idea to found a new oatiooai political party solely upon the demand for free coin* age at the ratio of 16 to 1. Such a party, says the alliance, would be too narrow-minded. The mills are coming South every day. Dwight" Manufacturing Com - pany, of Boston, begins immediately the building of a $500.000 cotton mill on the southern end of Lookout moon tain, in Alabama. The Wilmington. Ghsdbource and Conwayboro railway, fifty-three miles long, from Conway, 8. C., to Chad bourne, N C., and to Hob, N. C., bas been bought, by B. F.. Newcomer for the, Atlantic Coast tine, for $85,00$ casfc. ' ? The Register is reliably informed that General Butler had nothing what? ever to do with the publication of the Perry letter, which abounded in vilifi? cation of Capt. Tillman. We did not think the noble old soldier would descend to use of sockJbusb-whacking tactics, and are pleased to announce that he is absolved from all responsi bility for that which even many of Tillman's enemies condemn.-Columbia Register. In the First Presbyterian church, of Germantown, Pa., last Sunday a special collection, was taken op for the Sunday school. ' Dr. Wood preached froto the ?ext the rove of money is the root of all evil. About $300 was raised, and when the services were over it was dis? covered that some one had stolen the collection. , The pcstoffice department' serves notice on persons who contemplate patronizing the mail as the carrier of Christaaas presents that all packages must be prepaid. The f 'postage due" ' arrangement which permits of payment of postage on first class mail at the last end of the route does not include packages. Ali packages mailed with insufficient postage on them are not for? warded bat held to await the pay? ment of the lacking amount of postage. Willie Ott, six years old, was scalded to death at a hog killing at Evansville, Ind., Pee. 13. The uncle of the boy was. intoxicated and held him over a kettle of boiling water when be acci? dentally dropped him. A convention of the citizens of Darlington last night renominated Mayor W. F. Dargan and the alder? men that have served with him. This makes Mayor Dargan's third consecu? tive term, and it is only a well merited tribute to bis executive abilty and to his always fearless and impartial dis? charge of duty. W. M. Norton, a white man and ex-policeman, shot and killed James Middleton in Charleston, S. C., yester? day, without apparent provocation. It is believed that the cause of the shoot? ing was that Middleton has reported that NortoD was dealing io contraband whiskey, in violation of the Dispeusary law. Norton refuses to make any statement. The Secretary of the Treasury has approved the regulations .prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the enforcement of the collection of the income tax under late tariff Act Under the regulations provided and approved, . pursuant to the law, every citizeo of the United States whether residing at home or abroad, and every person residing or doing busioess in the United States, who has ao annual income of more than $3,500, shall make a full return of the same, verified by his oath, to the Collector of Internal Revenue of the collection district tn which he resides, or if not a resideot, io which his business or property from which his income is received, is situated, on or before the first Monday in March of each year. The best policy for the southerners who are suffering from 5-ceut cotton is to build large cities, establish and extend the manufacturing industries, strive for the enlargement of their trade and com? merce, make and use the mest improved machinery, develop their mioeral re? sources, and diversify their crops. There is no probability that cotton will ever rise to its old price, and there is more than a probability that it will fall below 5 cents a pound. The south is full of men of enterprise, who are less enterprising than they might be - New Torie Sun. Wben Senator Hill took his seat in the Senate the other day be found upon his desk a basket of fine roses. Al? most other man in congress would have appreciated the compliment of a gift of roses. Bot Senator Hill lacks senti? ment. There is no more poetry in bim than there is in the preamable to a poli? tical resolution. He eyed the roses a j moment, then beckoned to a page and j told him to take them away. "People send flowers to corpses," said the sena- j tor with a grim smile, "and Pm no j corpse." On that point, by the way, j there is a division of political opinion. ] "The color of New York is red," j said a much-traveled American artist to the reporter of the Philadelphia Re- j cord. "I mean," he went oo, "that; look down on New York from auy ! height sufficient to give you a good bird's eye view of the city, and you will have a distinctly red effect. Now Washington, on the other band, ? seen from the monument or from the j porch at Arlington, looks green. The j color of Chicago, from the observation point at the top of the Masonic Temple, is a whity-drab. So is San Francisco, seen from aoy of the summits of its seven bills. St. Louis is still whiter, when you look down at it from the top of the exchange; while Boston, looked at from the bills back of Cambridge is .AYi2 Philadelphia, from the scaffold? ing on the city hall tower, is red ; and Baltimore, as you get a glimpse of it jrom Druid Hill, is also red, but a deeper red-something approaching burnt sienna. The new senater from South Caro? lina, B. R Tillman, is a vigorous per? sonality, and it is pretty safe to say he will not be in Washington long before he attracts especial attention to himself. He cares little or nothing for conven? tionalities, and at the first opportanity he will probably ??ive "senatorial cour? tesy" a punch. The Dew senator will be the subject of special at tent ?OD io Washington upon his arrival The c orrespondents will watch him in order to find oat whether he will vote with the populists or the democrats, and everybody will watch him because be bas declared one of his first acts in the Senate will be to attack the President "to dig him in his fat old ribs," is the chaste and elegant language the ex governor used on the stump.-Savan? nah Neves. Judge Fraser steps down from the judicial bench gracefully. The firm of "Frasers & Cooper, * attorneys and counsellors at law, will practice in Sum? ter and adjoining counties. The senior member of .this firm is Judge T. B. Fraser, the able lawyer, the just judge, high- ton ed and honorable gentleman. Carolina Spartan.
