An announcement comes from the other side of the Atlantic that hoop skirls will come into fashion by and by again. 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 Shall blindly follow the directiona promulgated through the Atlanta Mldquarten from the dictator en- ■gjjordia Washington City.—Savan nah* Morning News. 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. G-EO. "W.

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. The republicans of the 28th Pennsyl vania district have nominated Mr. Oys ter for congress, which causes tace tious parapraphers to remark that there will be at least one oyster in the next congressional stew.
