A Million People ont of Employment

there are enforced idleness in these cities
of 801,833 wage-earners, and that nearly

The Columbus Herald has this to
say of Mr. Bacon and his original
resolutions:
If we were cartoonists we would
get up two pictures on Major Ba
con’s resolutions, one representing
the “varmint” as it first appeared be
fore the Legislature, and the other
giving a view of it as it emerged
from the legislative gauntlet, after
having been trimmed, sliced and
gonged to meet the objections of the
numerous legislators not in accord
with the Major’s original ideas. The
last picture would be a most ludi
crons one. Even the sangnine ma
jor would scarcely recognize in this
deformity the offspring of his own
prolific brain, and will hardly have
sufficient courage to sit astride it in
his chase after the senatorial toga.
Tillman’s Thumbscrews.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 1,—-The late j
board of control tc-dav sent the follow- j
ing communication to the city council j
of Columbia: “Notice is hereby given j
that the state board of control in the ex- j
ereise of their judgment, as required by j
the dispensary act recently passed, have i
determined thn‘ a contingency lias arisen ;
your city for the enforcement of the !
avision to section 10 of the dispensary ■
act, which says: “That if the authori- j
f any town or city, in the judgment j
of the state board of control, do not on- j Aiv you
force this law the state board may with
hold the part going to said town or city i
nd use it to pay state constables, after ;
the first day of January, 1894, and until TllSy
further notice, such proportion of the*!
dispensary profits coming from Columbia I
Hi be withheld by the board and used
to pay state con stables in the enforce
ment of the law made necessary
the action of the authorities of
your city as shown by the action ot
the city council *bn Friday night in
even refusing to consider the matter.”
The Governor says he can easily main
tain six or seven constables iu this city
with Columbia’s profits.
Communications were to-day address
ed to the municipal authorities through
out the state calling upon them to notify
the state board by the 15tli inst., whether
they intend to make their policemen act
as constables. The county boards were
also instructed to notify the state board
by the 20th inst. whether to expect the
co-operation and assistance of the muni
cipal authorities.

What Christmas Cos*.
An Augusta merchant has figured out
the cost of Christines. His estimates are
based on reports of the volume of holi
day business collected by a commercial
agency. Tlie sums and totals are all
guess work, of .course, but, as the possi
bilities are that the guesser is in the
neighborhood of the truth, his figures are
interesting. He thinks that the Christ
mas dinners cost $30,000,000, the decor
ations of churches, houses, etc. $3,000,-
000; the china, ^glass and pottery pur
chased, $6,000,000; the books and other
literature $8,000,000; the pictures and
othef art work, $3,500,000; the toys,
$4,000,000; the candies and Christmas
trees, $3,250,000, and the jewelry, trin
kets and sundries, $35,000,000—making
in all a total approximating the reserve
fund of the national treasure.
CORDELL’S SENSATION.
A Marriage That is Causihg Much
Talk.
Condole, Ga., Dec. 30.—The marriage
of Joseph Bivins and Mrs. Marvin has
created a sensation here. Mrs. Marvin
is. the widow of the ex-mayor of the
town who died two years ago. He -was
president of the First National Bank,
and left a large fortune. Bis devoted
widow had a mock funeral while the
body was embalmed and placed in a
room in her house, where it has remain
ed ever since. She and Mr. Bivins
were married in an adjoining room. Biv
ins is cashier of thebank and well-to-do.
The question is, will the first husband’s
body be kept i.n the house?

London, Jan. 1—The unemployed ol
London celebrated New Year’s day by
holding one of their usual meetings at
Tower Hill. Williams, one of the men
who has always taken a prominent part
in, these meetings, and whoso extreme
socialist utterances are likely before long
to get him in trouble with the police,
made a violent address to the crowd of
idle men gathered about him. He ex
pressed his willingness to run all risks to
stop the whole business of London by
means of terrorism until the govern
ment rendered assistance to the unem
ployed. He regretted that the men out
of wo r k had not, while the police were
concentrated at St Paul’s cathedral last
night, done what they liked and helped
themselves to whatevever they wanted in
the unprotected parts of the city.
A FEMALE ANARCHIST JAILED.
Annie Wise, an anarchist, one of those
arrested outside of St. Paul’s cathedral
last night, was arrained in the mansion
house police court to-day to answer a
charge of rioting. Her arrest grew out
of a noisy demonstration made in the
vicinity of the cathedral, and the attempt
of herself and others to take possession
of the steps of the cathedral for the pur
pose of speech making and singing revo
lutionary songs. Lord Mayor Tyler pre
sided. The prisoner said she was only
doing her duty in attempting to call
public attention to the misery of the un
employed.
The lord mayor interrupted her, say
ing: “That has nothing to do with your
breaking the law.”
The prisoner replied: “you men made
the laws and force them on us. I know
no more and care no more for the law of
England than those of Timbuctoo.”
The court found her guilty and sen
tenced her to three days imprisonment.

Taking for instance Valdosta, where a
contract has recently been let for water
mains, by orders, etc., and assuring the
same number of tons of piping, specials,
hydrants and valves as Valdosta re
quires, the cost to us was $13,866.50,
whereas the contract price iu Valdosta
was $23,000 over $9000 or 35 per cent
higher, and on examination of their
