The second i-suo has reached our de?k, and it is full of local news and starts out with a liberal advertising patronage. Success to The News. | We see it stated that Bryan refused ten thousand dollars for an advertisement On the last page of his paper, "The Commoner." lie must hold hi? advertising space at u high premium. Why The Times would give. the prospective advertiser the whole of its last pngO for in which to disq lay liia advertisement for that amount. >Quite a panic occurred in the Leg islature last Monday when It, was announced that small pox was epidemic In Columbia. The eiforfc was rrt^do to adjourn the Legislature to 9omc other point. An immediate investigation was made, and it was found there was no cause for alarm, And the excitement died down. The "Out.'ook" is another candidate, in thefjournalistlo IjfrJJ; for pub- j lie favOf. We have just received the | initial number of The Outlook, pub-1 lished at Georgetown. G. W. Wolf j is editor and J. Walter Doar is associate editor. The salutatory has the i right ring about it. There is plenty j of news in the first issue, r.tij the merchants should give this new In- , dustry a liberal patronugo. A good j newspaper is the greatest town build er of all. The State Senate passed the bill ! -appropriating $.70,001) in support of | the Exposition at Charleston. The bill was carried by 27 for to (1 against j the measure. Several interesting speeches favoring the i?tl; were made. ! We hope the exposition will be g , blooming success. It is not n local ' atfair, but its objects will be for the ! promotion of tiio best interest of t'no 1 ?Jtate at large, and we bel'cyc it will . attain the end aimed at. "The Luke Butler Star" is the] name of a new paper that made its bow to the public on Friday, .January ' 18th, at Lake Butler, Fla. Our old j friend and former fellow citizen, V. j (*.

The paper starts out. j with a liberal advertising patronage, j and if the first issue is tin indication of the amount of local news ilmi ,'s to be bandied, the paper will certain- ! ly be a credit to its editor and the (Community in which it is published.

Wo clip the following from the Buwfori (i izoito to show how the rapid growth of Union is being watched and commented upon by our neighbors. There are several other new industries that might be added to the list : "The Excelsior Knitting Mill of Union, which manufactures and sells socks, etc., as well as its own paper j boxes, lias notified the Secretary of State that it has increased its capital stock from to ^00,000. This means that South Carolina is to?hnve the largest knitting mill in theSmthern States. This particular mill has been a success from the very first.

There is some execlien' land in tjic cQunty, suitable for truck fanning, and a canning factory vyoi:|d open a market for vegetables that would offer ?.n inducement for tIngrowing of vegetables on a much more extensive scale than is done at pres< r.t. y/e elio the following from the II irnwell^People, widen is o point \ycjl j \v irth mature consideration : ' Baltimore canneries are making i mo icy putting up sweet potatoes,' irul's and vegetables.
