President Eliot declares thct na far

at least join io tho opinion th at the
professional coach should not receive
a higher salary than the college presi

Ii takes a rich man to hold the
position of Ambassador from the
United States to the court of St.
James. Tho salary is $17,500 per au

The Southern -Field very truly re
marks that President 'Roosevelt will
do exaotiy right if Lo pardons aad re
instates those hazing cadets at A n
napolis. But tho officers v.Lo str ,d
by and encouraged or condoned su*. .
conduct on tho part of ihoughtle ?
boys should bo kicked out of ?ne
army. It impresses us that they are
investigating tho wrong set.
The Chicago Kecord-IIorald states
that, according to statistics, women
have during the past twonty-five years
increased ia btaturo two and one-half
inoheB, while men have grown that
much shorter. If this thing keeps up
for a century or two more mere man
will need a stepladder when he de
sires to whisper thc glad word in her
ear._ _
From thc tono of somo of his rccont
interviews it appears that Senator
Tillman might bo induced to run for
Governor in the approaching cam
paign. In his testimony before the
investigating committee in Colombia
a few days ago he proved that ho is
mnoh more of a suooess as a speaker
than as a witness. 'He delive.ed a
speech to the committee in defense of
tho dispensary but did not give a word
of evidence as to its work, or tho
events that have ibeen brought to
light.
Tho News and <3ourior very truly
says that tho farmers of tho South
have tho power and they should uso
it for their own protection with firm
ness and discretion. The cotton
growers' movement ia a purely busi
ness enterprise, lit has not been
made a kite to anybody's p^lUioa! am
bition or purposes and held steadily to
the objeot of its organization it will go
forward conquering and to oonquer all
the enemies who have] put up the
price of the at?*:!? or put it down for
their own pruitt without thought of
the patient toilers io the Southern
fields. Keep poli ti o s out of tho or
ganization ard hereafter the men who
make the cotton will also name tho
price at,which it snail be sold.
The various oounty colton growers'
associations arc reported as having
good attendance at tho recent monthly
meetings, and muoh enthusiasm pre
vails throughout the Stato. Every
farmer in South Carolina should bo a
member of the association and help to
continue tho good tvork tho organiza
tion is now engaged in. In unity
; there is strength, and if tho members
will keep the politicians from out of
their ranks they will win the battle
they are now engaged in, Thc Alli
ance and the Grange were good organi
zations but the politicians rode them
to death.
Alabama's Senators are both over
eighty years; old. Tho term of Sena
tor Morgan cxpireB in 1907, when he
will be, if living, eighty-three years
old. Senator Pettus' term expires
two years later, and he is now nearly
eighty-four years old. Alabama's
Legislature meeta only onae every
four years. After next year's Legis
lature there will be no session until
1910. Next year's Legislature will,
therefore, elect two Senators. As far
aa known, Gen. Morgan and Gen. Pct
tuB desire and expeot re-election. Sup
pose they are re-elected. At che end
of their new terms, (if they Hvo that
long) Geo. Morgan will be eighty-nine

Judge Geo. E. ^Prince has rendered
an important decision in which ba
bolds that the Aotof tbe Legislature
exempting Confederate veterans from
ai license tax is unconstitutional. The
ease came j up oh an appeal from Lau
rens. A Confederate veteran was
j} >ed by tbeamaycr <of that oityfor
doing business without having paid a
license, the mayor holding that the
Act wat? in violation of the. constitu

The capital ol neatly ?ill thc wealthy
citizens of titi- country is invested io
manufacturing, mining >n- transporta
tion, giving useful and profitable ?m
ploymcni to millions. Many of these
citizens are giving more time to busi
ness than their employees do. Sonic
of tlie owners of vast properties are
accused of squandering their wealth
because they arc free-handed in
spending money. But that puts their
cash into the channels of trade, pay
ing for labor of many kinds. Of
course, there are rich fools, for thc
ability of a man to accumulate a great
fortune does not furnish an assurance
that his sons will inherit his business
capacity along with his estate. Dat
these weaklings, by exercising their
folly, on'jy distribute thc millions
? their fathers piled up. As for intel
lectual strength and culture the pres
ent gener?tio" of Americans shows no
decadence. As to morals, this gen
eration is on a higher plane than any
that has preceded it.
OUR COLUMBIA LETTER.
COLLMIIIA, S. C., Feb. 1?.
The Legislature baa adjourned, St
adjourned (somewhere about 4 o'clock
Sunday morning, and the ?State dispen
sary still stands. A new board ot' di
rectors lins been elected, and none of
the old board is on it.
Neither is there any change in tho tax
laws nor will there be biennial session.
Nor will tho children growing up in
ignorance be compelled to go to
school, mid the boys ol criminal ten
dencies will bo sont to ?i reformatory,
which will have $4,000 to start on and
no lund for its support, except the
amounts paid in by the counties from
which the boys come. Winthrop gets
no model Behool and the pension lund
will not be raised to ?250,000 but to
$2215,000.
It will bc seen that the sum total of
the General Assembly's session can
best be expressed in negatives. It did
not do this and it did not do that end
because it did not either purify or abol
ish the dispensary the Legislature has
laid itself liable to be called by the
senior Senator "driftwood."
The Morgan local option bill having
passed the House it was refused by the
Senate which sought to substitute the
Kaysor-Manning bill Hut the House
would not accept this measure, which
sought to remove the opportunities
for graft and corrnption from the sys
tem. The House stood flat-footed for
the abolition of the Stute dispensary
at Columbia, and the revelations of tho
dealings with the glass company here
hud something to do with lix in g the
determination of the House. The
Senate would not assent to that prop
osition, and so thero was no agree
ment. Seeing that things would re*
mais as they were the two Houses
agreed to meet in joint session Satur
day and elect a board of directors un
der the unchanged law. Chairman
ii. H. Evans was a candidate for re
election, bat Messrs. Boykin and
Towill ..ere not. Mr. Evans, who is
a Jovial, popular and in many respects
likable man, was very badly defeated,
receiving only 80 votes to 108 for Mr.
J. M. Rawlinson, of Richland county,
a member <>f. the Legislature, who bas
taken little part in the debates and
who ia by no means a strong man in
any eennu of the word, bot who bas
been regarded as a good man. He is
from lower Richland and is a farmer.
The other two .it'tces were filled by the
election of Mr. ' soph Wylie, of Ches
ter County, and Major John Black,
formerly of Colleton. Major Black
came here as shipping clerk of the
State dispensary seven or eight years
ago, and sinoe relinquishing that posi
tion some years ago has for some of the
time at least represented whiskey
houses in thia State. There was no
opposition to Mr. W. O. Tatum, the
State liquor commissioner, and ho was
ro-eleeted.
Daring the last few days of .tho Gen
eral Assembly the matter of the dis
fienaary's transactions with the Caro
ma Glas9 Company was n matter
which demanded considerable atten
tion. The investigating committee
had brotr.?.t out evidence that the
State bourd had bought glnss bottles
in almost unlimited " nan ti ties from
this concern, located in Columbia, and
the committee recommended that the
Legislature caucel the contracts with
the company. This the legislature would
have done, but the attorneys for the
company appeared before the com
mittee and o fibred to cancel the con
tracte and enter the market for the
dispensary's business in competitive
bidding, and this w? agre ad to. The
investigating committee has adjourn*
ed to meet at the call of the chairman,
Senator Hay.
As stated above, tho Legislature did
nothing on the biennial sessions prop
osition. The amendments to the con
stitution adopted two years ago were
found to be technically defective, and j
last year a Joint com mit too was ap
pointed to investiga*- the matter and
report at this session. The committee
reported several resolutions necessary ;
to get the matter in shape but the
Hongo did not take them. So there
will be annual sessions as heretofore.
Several propositions looking, to re
form iu til?' methods of nsBcssiug and i
tax i UK property were presented but
noue of them ".vas accepted and th??, tax
law? remain H? they jue j
On the appropriation trill tlie lion??
sud Senate disagreed ?ss regard to sev- i 1
. ral items. The Hons?- raised tho pen
Mon appropriation to $5?30,OOU but the,
Senate dissented ami tim item was
tinnily lix? ?! at $^.?,<XJO. Tho House j
voted s]o,W) for an exhibit to the;

i ion t<*r the reformatory wa? tixed at ?1
?4,000 and tile mullel school ut Win-j1
throp was not given at all,
Tho Senate did not consider tho J j
House bill to reduce paHnciitfi-r faro
fruin three to two and one-half cents. :
Tho Holer killed the ten hour law.
Tim hank examiner hill wan patted j
and alrto the bill to establirth a board '
of paidons. The Governor has already
unnouoce<l tho JJoard, having named
Messrs. lt. W. Shand, of Columbia,
Wilson li. Harvey, of Charleston, and
K. Maye?Cleveland, of Greenville.
The Legislature now goes back to
tho people. Many of tho members will
ho candidate* for ro-election while
others will oder for other ollicea. A
new Legislature will come here next
January, a new Governor and State
odicials will be sworn in for two years.
The fact that nothing was done on the
liquor question-as predicted in this
correspondence, by the way, at the
start-means that the dispensary will
be the issue in the campaign thia sum
mer again, And this raeuno that the
; campaign will doubtless be as bitter
and aa sensational as any that South
Carolina has had for the last twelve

A Pretty Celebration of an Ancient Cus
tom.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holder entertain
ed in a simple yet pretty way their
junior friends at their home, "The
Oaks," near Septus. .
The invitations were issued for the
party io a very formal style for Feb.
14, 1?00\ at8:8U p. m., the ruse being a
Valentino Party.
Oar hearts beat with high hope as
wo drove through tho beautiful grove
of stately oaks and Baw the cottage
allumed with bright ligbtB. Even na
ture seemed to nod our welcome. It
was a dreamy moonlit night, and each
thought of tho ono who was to roceivo
his or her missive of love.
Tho spacious front room WOB taste
fully decorated, the color scheme be
ing love's ow? color, pink. Half hid
den among bolly and ferns could bo
seen dozeuB of pierced hearts and on
spraye of iniBletoe were silver tipped
arrows, and, behold! in a nook half
hidden among moss was the little god
"Cupid," himself with silver wings,
bow und arrow, looking ou with smil
ing face at us trying to imitate him in
his love and courtship, giving to our
lady-love "water, bitter and sweet."
Artificial birds were here and there
among red-berried holly with valen
tines sealed with the popular mono
gram, "hearto" between their iittle
bills. As we were uehered in by Mr.
J.J. Wilson and Miss Lessie Wilson
we felt as iE we were each a very sig
nificant being. Our hostess BOiiiiogly
received us in a dignified manner, in
troducing to us her daughter, Miss
? Maude Wilson, OB substitute hostess
I and chapen ?er of the young de
! butees.
; The evening's enjoyment was open
ed up by a game of "hearts,'' being
I two large puzz'e pink ht arts filled with j
numerous smaller ones, in which was
snow-white pop corn, aiso a senti
mental little verse. Ono heart basket
was passed to the ladies, the other lo ;
the yoong men, each drawing one
email heart. The ones whose verses
being the same were valentines for the
evening, the verses being read by each
.guest in turn. Then the valentine
basket waR passed the valentines taken
np and distributed by Miss Naomie
Eliot and Mis* Hattie Madden, of Pen
dleton, Miss Louie Mulikin breaking
the record by receiving so many pretty
ones.
Each one chatted so lightly we oould
not help thinking "cupid" was surely
among us and doing bis best to win
the day, aud our opinion is he did.
There were fifteen couples present
and all seemed to enjoy the evening.
Miss Alma Harris, Misa Naomi Eliott
and Mr. Clem Harris sang a quartette. !
Misa Sammie Holder playing the nc- i
cornoaniment to the songs, "A bird in
n Gilded <2oge," and "Break the News
to Mother.'' Mr. Walter King and
Miss Sammie Holder played and sang
"In tho Shade of the*01d Apple Tree"
as a duet.
Delicately tinted "sweet-henrts"
(candy) with dainty little versea on
each were served as mementoes. Then
nico gaines were played and we to our
regret found our time uc and bnde our
host and hostess "good night," some
with smiles and some with hearts
pierced with Tove's arrows, for "cu
pid',' was busy.
We hope to enjoy many more such
occasions at their pleasant home when
we again can eing to our lady-love:
I love Thee! I love Thee!
With a lave that shall not die, !
Till the stars are old,
And the sun grows cold,
And the leaves of the great judg
ment book unfold! .
Wishing all a happy year with their
chosuu wleutine, and especially onr

More Ashleys Wanted.
It is a great pity the South Carolina
legislature could not have a few more
"retoricAl" members the like of Josh
Ashley. Ashley is undoubtedly level
headed, honest and endowed with a
good deal of common sense. These
are the needful qualifications for the
legislator. The high sounding elo
quence of many law makers falls flat
and is of little consequence. When
Afihloy rises to talk he commands an
audienco and whethor through curios
ity or otherwise thero is no doubt about
his hearers being convinced with his
good, sound sense._
Thero is a decided tendency on tho
parc of many of the younger members
o? tho house und tho senate to depart
from conservatism and sound reason
ing and to seek big game high in the
air-they advocate in many instances
mensures and means entirely unsuited
to tho community for which they oro
intended and tho State at largo. They
try to do big things and they fail bo
cadee common sense docs not back the
theory. Ashley muy be inclined to
crankiness along certain lines, but as
a rule he has proven himself a valu
able member of tho lower house, and
Anderson County would do well to
send him back when bia term expires.
We need more like him.-Greenville
