An exchange feelingly and eloquent
ly remarks:
Pumpkin-pi •, spare ribs and back
bones, and sugar boilings, pork and
turnips, possum sop and potato! Too
many good things for one time! But
they will soon be on hand just the-
same.
Yes, Thoy are Passing Away.
Gen. Gordon concluded his great
speech at Millen with the following
pathetic words: •'•If the pcop’e are
really tired of soldiers and want a can
didate of some other sort, you need
not be long in finding him ; but to all
who feel that way, let not your hearts
be troubled by the presence of old sol-
diers.or generals; they will not be in
your way or any other man’s way much
longer. There is a silent Reaper more
powerful than political plotters whose
scythe is gradually mowing down those
brave old veterans and removing them
to that everlasting camping ground be
yond the "silent Iriver.” Wait a little
while longer, and the last hero of the
great armies of Lee and Johnston, ol
j4ckson and of Ifood will be out of
your way. They will all aoon be gone
—transferred to another field and be-
tore aonthet tribunal, where truth and
hbnor and fidelity to principle will be
fully recognised and where there will
be no barriers against courage and
self—sacrificii g devotion to tne confed
crate cause or agaiust the brave old
warriors who served and suffered, and
who cheerfully offered their blood and
lives at the call of conscience and of
country.”
Cotton Figures.
The Times-Enterprise is indebted
to Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co.,
for a copy of the 17th annual edition
of the valuable book of cotton statis
tics, showing the number of bales
movements, fluctuations, prices, Ac,
for the year 1889-90. It is a most
valuable contribution to the history
of the cotton year which closed on the
1st of Sept. It is a marvel of typo
graphical execution and neatness,
and is one of the most elaborate and
exhaustive resumes of the South’s
great staple for the year issued by
any cotton firm in the country. The
following figures, showing amount of
cotton produced, price, total value,
Ac., will be found interesting:
Site of crop 7,307,281
Total value $373,181,831
Total value exports 250,567,334
Total ralue American consump
tion 122,594,497
Average price middling uplands
in New York, 1889 11.53 cents
Average price middling uplands
in New York, 1888 10.71 cents
Signs of a Revolt.
There arc signs of a revolt of the
Allianccmen against the Macune Liv-
ingston-IIarry Brown syndicate.
Farmers are beginning to eee that the
Alliance is being used simply as a
means to advance the political aspira
tions and possibly the pecuniary for
tunes of second-rate politicians and
mote or less impecunious office hunt -
era. Their would-be leaders are de
manding too much of the farmer.
They bave left him no freedom of
^bought or action and ignored his in
telligence. They appear to have do
Tnindcd nothing less than that he

Tom Woolfolk.
This noted criminal has been hung
at last: As stated in our special, he
showed an amount of nervo which
few men could exhibit under similar
circumstances. He asked Dr. War
ren, one of bis spiritual advisers, to
read the following statement a few
moments before he was hung:
I, Thomas G. Woolfolk, realizing
the existence of an infinite and wise
and holy God so as to meet him,
knowing all that I have ever done,
and fully understanding that I must
stand before the judgment scat of
God and that to day in a few hours I
shall be called into His presence, do
solemnly declare my innocence, aud
I leave as my last declaration that I
did not take the life of my father or
any member of his family, or have
any knowledge of the person or per
sons who did the murderous deed.
Thomas G. Wooi.foi.k.
The following is a brief resume ol
the crime and of the case in the court:
On August (itb, 1887, the nine
bodies of Richard F. Woolfolk, a
well-to-do white planter, his wife,
their six children and his wife’s sister,
wero found lying in pools of blood in
the Woolfolk residence a few miles
from Macon. A short-handled axe
clotted with blood and hair, was found
in the hallway of the house. The
bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Woolfolk and
their infant lay in the same bed, and
across the three corpses tho body of
tho eldest daughter, and a recent
graduate of Wesleyan College, had
been thrown. In other rooms the
bodies of the other victims were
found. Evidences of a terrible strug
gle were to be seen. Thomas Wool-
folk, the only surviving member of
the family, was arrested. He pro
tested his innocence. When brought
into the room where the bodies lay
he exhibited no grief. Woolfolk
narrowly escaped lynching. The
Coroner’s jury held Woolfolk accoun
table for the crime. Blood was found
on his body and his underclothing.
The garments he had worn on the
day of the murder were found in an
old well soaked in blood. Woolfolk’s
trial lasted ten days. An attempt was
made to show that the crime was
committed by a negro desperado, but
tho jury found Woolfolk guilty after
being out twcDly minutes.
THREE TIMES SENTENCED TO HANG.
Woolfolk was sentenced to be
hanged on February 10, 1888, but
tho Supreme Court ot the State
granted him a new trial. After
many legal impediments had been
overcome, Woolfolk was sentenced
to be hanged August 16, 188C. But
legal techanicalitics were again inter
posed. On October 7, 1890, he was
sentenced to be hanged October 29,
1890.
Woolfolk’s motive for the crime
was the desire to obtain possession of
his father’s property, which he feared
would go to his father’s second wife
and her children.

Washington, Oct. 30.—In 1881
according to the United States census,
the population of South Carolina was
995,577, of which 391,105 were whites
and 604,472, including Indians, Chi'
ncse and negros, were colored. The
population of South Carolina to day is
1,147,171, consisting of 512,369 white
and 634,788 colored, including Indi
ans, Chinese and negroes. In the
last 10 years, on account of tho con
tinued movement of colored colonists
to Mississippi and Arkansas, the in
crease ot the colored population has
only been 30,316, while the white
population has iu the same time
been increased by au addition of
121,264.
For every 20,000 of increase in
white population there has been but
5,000 increase in black population.
At this rate, South Carolina will
have a white majority iu 1900.
