The government' report puts thc
cotton crop in .South Carolina this
year at 1,100,000 bales, which will bc
the largest crop this .State has over
produced. At an average price of H
cents a pound such a quantity of cot
ton will yield our farmers upwards of
145,000,000, which is a hig sum fur a
little State to get out of a single
crop.
Thc information carnes from Wash
ington that Senator Latimorhas given
up hope of ?the passage of his good
roads hill at the present session of
Congress. It has been announced
that economy is to he thc slogan of
thc session, and in every quarter wbcic
thc effort has been made to obtain
support for tho measure the question
of legislative extravagance has been
raised.
Senator Platt, of New York, has in
troduced a bill iu Congress cutting
down tho South's representation in
thc lower House nineteen members.
This would givo South Carolina five
instead of scvcn?Congrcssmcn. Both
the House and Senate arc overwhelm
ingly Republican, and tho bill has
every chance to pnss if thc Hepulican
party desires te foist a measure of this
kind upon the South.
In a recent letter to Assistant Sec
retary McKclway of the National
Child Labor Association, Gov. lley
wardJdisapproveB of the movemcut to
increase the agc limit in thc child
labor law from twelve years to four
teen years, saying: "I have every rea
son to believe that satisfaction with
tho present law in this State continues,
and I can not but think that it would
bc unwise to disturb existing condi
tions by increasing tho[age limit. This
law is giving general satisfaction alike
to mill owners and operatives, and no
complaints* from any source regarding
its administration have reached my
office." TheiGovcrnor is correct, and
wc believe his words will be endorsed
by every reputable citizen of South
Carolina.
The question of establishing thc
proposed County of Calhoun, with
McCormick tho county seat, has
again been revived. Gov. Ileyward
has acted favorably upon the petition
signed by the necessary one-third of
the qualified voters of the sections of
the old counties tobo formed into the
new couuty. Some constitutional ob
jections were interposed by represen
tatives of Abbeville and Greenwood
Counties, but these were not sufficient
to prevent the order for holding the
election, which has been ordered for
the fir?t Tuesday in January. In thc
petition praying fer an election fuels
are seL out fully showing that thc new
county sought to bc created meets all
constitutional requirements. It em
braces portions of Abbeville, Green
wood and ridgefield, has more than the
necessary 400 frjuares miles and an
amount of taxable property exceeding
$2,000,000. Thc constitution requires
a two tl iris majority of tho qualified
electors within the boundaries of the
proposed new county before tbe Gen
eral Assembly can establish it. It is
probable that, if Calhoun County is
established at al), it will be after a
hard legal gght.

Headquarters of die Third Japanese
Anny Hcforo Port Arthur, December
'.?. Russian prisoners report that the
food supply of the garrison is instill!
cient. The men subsist on short
rations of bread landoufn mixturo of
Hour and coarser grains, while the ofli
cers got horse tlesh twice a week.
Dysentery and typhoid fever, the pris
oners say, are very prevalent. Owing
to the bail weat IHM-, a supply of fresh
vegetables cannot be obtained and the
supply of tinned meats was finished a
month ago. Tho appearance of the
pi isoners goes to substantiate their
statements.
London, December D.-A dispatch to
thu Japanese legation from Tokio,
dated today, says: "The naval staff nt
Port Arthur reports that on Thursday
evening the Pallada was set oil lire and
keeletl to port with her stern sunk.
Hieven shots hit, the (iilliak (gunboat).
The Hayan took lire at 1PJH) and is
still ablit/o at 4:15 j?, m. The Amur
(transport) was hit fourteen times and
sank. Many shots greatly damaged
the ware houses and other buildings
near Peiyu mountain and tho s Tnt
nul."
Tokio, Dec. 10.-The Japanese cruis
er Salyen struck a mine and sank on
on November 'Jo. Fifteen ollicers
and l?"i men wei o rescued. Captain
Taj i ma and thirty-eight others went
down with the ship.
Tokio, December 11.-The Japanese
continue to bitter the Port Arthur
Meet, and there is little ground for ex
pecting that it will ever again engage
the Japanese. The battleship Sevas
topol continues at anchor outside, but
possibly returns to tho harbor at night
and anchors inside tho outer boom,
which protects her from torpedo boats.
Tho recent heavy weather lins given
added protection to tho vessels. Naval
experts are discarding tho theory that
the Russians themselves sank any of
tho ships. The fact that tho vessels
first showed lisjs while in exposed
positions and the eftbits made to save
the Sevastopol aro regarded as con
clusive evidence against the theory of
their being sunk by the Kassians.
Tokio, December 13.-A dispatch
from the Japanese commander of tho
land batteries nt Port Arthur states
that further bombardment of the ves
sels in thu harbor is unnecessary, as all
vessels are badly damaged.
