Columbia, S. C., lias opened her gates to the yellow fever refugees. Blaine's Detroit speech touches the tariff bill a little. Rather late about it. All the 6tate offices were re-elect ed last Wednesday by nice ma jorities. The Franklin Register has been appearing on the half-shell list for several weeks. The senate is trying to discuss a prevention for yellow fever. A late hur to commence. Cleveland smokes his usual cig ar and rests eas}\ The coming contest has no effect on him. Clarke succeeded in get ing her nominee for representative, H. C. Tuck. Lmn’t know what was his majority over Pledger The Rev. Mr. Pickett has a col ored Baptist preacher working for him in some of the lower counties No doubt he will capture the col ored vote. A Boston man suggest s that the president appoint a national hug killing holiday, to be called “Bug Day.” Capital suggestion for the Boston man. The cotton bagging trusts si ands still awhile lor the wheat specula tors to take hand They are try ing to gobble up every bushel in the markets of this country. The democrats are making an other change in the tarilf, as a sub stitute for the Mills Bill, by put ting other articles of trade on the free list. A telegram states that JohnL. Sullivan is out of danger, Some of the fellows in his vicinity who have been talking about him will wish that they were out of danger. The October election is over. All the counties in the state, who had nominees in the field, elected /hem. Only two republican coun ties will be represented in the next legislature. The yellow lever is still getting in its deadly work in Jackson and oilier places. A great many of the quarantine points have opened their gates. Frost showed itself in these localities. The people of Atlanta are hav ing ah. . : .ed time over the city election ' r a mayor and board of council. The prohibitionists have put out their ticket. The Antis will hav? a rich’t in the field.

This will add nothing to Sam’s reputation as a preacher. Congressman Kelly of Pennsjd vania, sticks to it that the South is “the coming Eldorado of Ameri can adventure. Judge Kelley has made a close study of the South. He knows its possibilities—where in its success lays. The young man who threw two rotten eggs at Senator Blair dur ing his speech at Charloftsville, Va , was fined ten dollars. The in cident helped the senator! Such a thing always helps a quick-witted speaker, who has sense enough to make the most of it. A man who can be downed by one or two rot ten eggs is not worth talking to. The victims ef the Whitechapel murderer in London, now number seven women. As the police have done nothing, it is fair to presume that they have decided to wait for the murderer to keep his promise; he said in his anonymous note to one of the papers, that when he had killed twenty-five women he would give himself up The presidential campaign is drawing near. The result is seen beforehand that the democrats will win. Their victory awaits the first Tuesday in November. Conclusive to all national elections there has been less busi ness failures this year throughout the country, than for a number of closing presidenlial terms. This, itself, in a business light, speaks well for the present democratic ad ministration, It shows the effect of low tariff in all business. It shows t here is more money in circulation in commercial circles. It shows the money is not hoarded up in the treasury. If shows business profits have been more successful on the whole, When the democrats gefdown to a tariff for revenue only—just the support of the government—the country will be still in a better con dition. The next four years’ ad ministration will tell more fully what the democrats are doing. On the Wrong Side. Many a man within the past few dajos has read of the fortune made in the great wheat speculation and bewailed his lack of judgment in not going into it. But suppose we take a look at it from another standpoint. The other day a wretched man with a very blue face stood ia a New York bueket shop looking at an empty pocket book. A few davß before he had been a hap py man with $125 in the bank, earned by hard work at the carpenter's bench. He had denied himself and his family many a comfort in order to save this money for a rainy day, He caught the wheat fever, drew his money and walked into the bucket shop. The result was just what might have been expected. The poor car penter knew nothing about specula* tion, and he got on the wrong side. He sold September wheat against old Hutch in Chicago, and in less time than it would take to repeat the mul tiplication table, his little fortune was swept away. It was impossible to seo this man and not pity him. When he asked the manager of the backet shop to loin him five dollars to help him along un til ho could got a job, the speculator ooaldn’t lefuoe. He handed over the money upon the condition the carpen ter would never enter a backet shop again. This little incident shows np the wheat oorner in anew light.—[Coi tt'tution. Editor Pulitzer ol‘the New York World, recently said to a young man who claimed to be full of ideas: “Go home and write me out twenty good ideas or sugges tions for increasing the circulation of the world. Send me your list to morrow, I will pay you $lO for each idea I accept. My check for $2,000 will be mailed you at once if I accepl them all, and I hope I can, for we need new ideas here all the time, and then we can make a permanent arrangement. I pay you SIOO per week for a good idea and you needn’t come to the office either Yes, I’ll do more; I’ll buy you a fine pair of horses so fhat you may drive around town and en joy yourself in the park. Your for tune is made, if you can do as you say,” The young man went home and sent in his list of ideas. They were all rejected as worthless. Just as we Expected, We are m> ■< il surprised at r ceiving a let • torn our friend, *‘W. L R in winch he des>reh to taka back what he said in the letter we pub lished from him la*t week. Hesa\s: “Your reply and condemnation of the article written from this place, in regard to ThjAfPickett and Candler, in the last is* of your paper, is part ly uncalled for. You accuse the wri ter of charging Ike Clement with be ing tho Radioal postmaster at Camm ing, in which you are mistaken, The writer only stated what he heard oth ers say, who said that the editor of the Clarion told Mr. Candler if he would not disturb his kinsman, the postmas ter, that he would use his paper in the interest of Mr. Candler. Now, sir, that is about the substance of what the man said. He did not say who the pos f roaster was, nor who the editor of the Clarion was, nor when the trade, as he termed it, was made, and I simp ly ask you to make the correction, as you have ths writer charged as using Mr. Clement’s name, when I never used it.” We cheerfully publish the statement of our friend, if it is any con eolation to him, But it seems to ns that instead of relieving him it only gets him deeper into the mire. The only charge he made against Mr. Can dler was, that “To-day Tied Pickett is a truer, sounder Democrat than Al len D. Candler. We are ia a position to know whereof we speak.’’ All ho says in substantiation of that charge is that “the Badical postmaster at Camming, Ga., is still retained. Why?' etc. Now, there is nothing said abont hearsay in that, bnt “we are in a posr.ion to know whereof we speak.” And while it is true they didn’t charge Mr. Clement with being a radical, their charge against Mr. Candle was “retaining the radical post master at Camming,” and it is well known that Mr. Clement, is the post master at Ctmming, and so where is the and fferene*?—f A r 'vartiaer. - ■■■■.■ i 'i- i ' ' w ■ Banks is i Candler eounty by a good major ty.
