So far the Southern governors are a
unit in declining to send Representa
tives to the Wisconsin race-settling
convention."
Teach your daughter to work, urges
a well known woman writer. It's
good advice--for then, if she marries
a no aocount man she won't have to
put up with him so long.
The Atlanta Constitution, in com
menting upon Senator Pritohard's re
tirement, shows that there are only
two Republicans from the South in
congress, they being Gibson and
Brownlow from Tennessee.
The Intelligencer has rcoeived an
invitation from the Louisiana pur
chase exposition to attend the dedica
tion of the exposition at St. Louis in
May. The invitation is handsomely
engraved and is very handsome in
deed.
It is said that the $89,137 obtained
from the national government will
give the State treasury enough money
to meet the appropriation bill. This
does not put the State on a cash basis,
however, as it is still one year behind,
owing to the loss of ono year's taxes
since 1876.
In the Senate of the Fifty-eighth
Congress there are fifteen new men.
Of this number five have served in the
lower house, one has seen service in
the Senate before and nine are new in
all respeots. Of the fifteen the most
notable personage is Senator Gorman,
of Maryland, who will be the minitory
leader.

According to the last statement is
sued by the department of agrien .are
the total of wheat, corn and oats in
the bins on Morok 1 was 1,578,000,
000 bushels, left from a total produc
tion of 4,180,000,000 bushels last sea
son. This goes to show that unusual
ly large stocks of grain are being held
by the farmers.
President Spencer, of the Southern
Railway company, made an address at
Atlanta the other day, in which he
gave the young men of the South
some excellent suggestions. He told
of the demand for competent men to
manage the great sorporatiora of the
country, and urgod that more attention
be given to education, which will fit
men for such work, The country has
been overstocked with lawyers and
doctors, and there is a great demand
for practical business men.
The cotton mills of the Poid mont
section of the State will in a few days
file a petition with the Railroad Com
mission asking for a further reduotion
in the freight rate to cotton mills in
the State. The petition, a copy of
whioh we have reoeived, has been
printed in a neat pamphlet form and
covers forty-eight pages. It asks for
a rate of freight for all cotton mills
not exceeding 21 cents from any part
of the State, and backs up its demand
with strong and convincing arguments
why ouch a rate should be granted.
Gov. Hey ward has appointed the
members of the Hampton monument
Association whioh was provided for
in an appropriation* of $10,000 at the
last session of the General Assembly.
They are Senators J. D. Marshall, of
Richland; C. S. McCall, of Marlboro,
and Representatives Altermont Moses,
of Sumter, B. A. Morgan, of Green
ville, and E. M. Seabrook, of Char
leston. This commission will meet
shortly for the purpose of ascertain
ing exactly how much has been sub
scribed by the people of the State for
the monument. As soon as the neces
sary amount is raised the State appro
priation becomes available, and re
ports indicate that subscriptions are
coming in rapidly. Anderson County
should and must oontribute a liberal
sum to this fund.
The Philadelphia Record remarks
that there is a crying demand for
legislation in Pennsylvania and in all
other States of the Union on tho sub
ject of desertion. The women who
have been deserted by their husbands
without means of support, and in most
cases burdened by helpless children,
are numbered by thousands. In one
year 500 oases were brought to the
notioe of the organised charities of
Philadelphia alone, and these probably
constituted only a fraotion of the
whole number. Many of these suffer
ers prefer to endure their lot io ai
lenoo and shun the ECO dal of public
ity. The remedies provided by exist
ing laws aro wholly inadequate. The
courts may order the recreant to pay
a weekly stipend ta his abandoned
wife, but suborders are habitually
set at naught by the delinquent, who
may go iuto biding or simply take up
his residence ia another jurisdiction.
Desertion ought to bo made a criminal
offense, and tbo deserters of families
made amenable to extradition and
other processes which are effective
across and beyond State boundaries.
A bill to thin effect should bo enacted
in every State as speedily as possible.
Murder of Rev. C. W. Depew.
Williamston, March H.-News reach
ed here to-day of a tragedy in Memphis,
Tenn., on last Thursday which result
ed in the shooting to death of the Kev.
C. W. Depew, a wesleyan Methodist
minister and n former resident of Wil
liamston. The details of the tragedy
have not been learned, but from the
facts as gathered it seems that the Kev.
Depew discharged from his service an
employee, who acted as driver about
the place, and his discharge so greatly
enraged the man's wife that she de
termined to avenge her wrath with tho
preacher's blood, and, procuring a re
volver, she met Mr. Depew ana shot
him dead.
Mr. Depew was sent to this place two
years ago by his church and filled the
appointments of his denomination at
PeJzor,Piedmont and Anderson church
es. He was a devoutly pious gentle
man and had a host of friends through
out this section of the State. His only
child, Mies Alberta, was a pupil in
Williamston Female College for seve
ral years past until last fall, when the
family moved to Tennessee. Besides
a daughter ho leaves a wife. Much
sympathy is expressed for the bereav
ed ones among their friends here.

Mexican Bandits Held Up the Stage. .
Los Angeles, Cal., March 13.-A
dispatch from Tucson, Ariz., to The
Herald, says: Mexican bandits held
up the stage which runs between Po
tain and Torin on the Yaqui river, in
Sonors, last Tuesday night, killing all
of tho six passengers including three
women. Among them was Filiberto
Alvarado, a wealthy Mexican, who
owns a number of rauohes along the
Yaqui river. The authorities at
Guayamaa were at onoe notified. Al
vorado and his wife had taken the
stage from Potain to Torin and thc
bandits thought he carried a largo sum1
of money with him. The hold-up took
place about half way between the two
towns, but just how the stage was at
tacked probably never will be known,
as all tho passengers and the driver
were killed. They were picked up the
afternoon of the tragedy and the cir
cumstances give evideno that they put
up a fight. It is thought by the Gua
ramas authorities that the perpetra
tors of the deed were some of the ban
dits who have taken refuge in the
mountains baok of the Yaqui river
and were laying for Alverado.

A Destructive Tear.
While the year 1902 waa a year of
peace among the nations, always^ ex
cepting South America, it bids fair to
go down in the annals of the raoe as
one that witnessed a greater destruc
tion c? human life th.u has been
wrought by .some long and wafting
wara. To the subterranean and mys
terious forcea of Mother Earth most
of these calamities have been due. It
is estimated that wo have to charge
her nuuaual restlessness with 48,900
lives lost through volcanic eruptions
and earthquakes. Her tornadoes hurl
ed 465 human beings out of existence
and cyclones added 240 more to the
Hat, while other storms in great num
bers, but of ' lesa dignity in name,
plaoed 720 to the direot aooount of
violent winds. Floods awept 345 per
sona from life, tidal waves drowned
111, and waterspouts destroyed 15. To
all of this we muat add 283 lives oh arg
ed to the destructive foreo of ava
lanches and anowalides, and wo have
a total of 51,070-an astounding mor
tality from these agencies of des truo*

sensible people. They consider it the part of wbdom to investigate well, not
only the quantity hut the quality, of tho vaines they receive in exchango for

to buy inferior Goods, even though the price is cheap. Their esperienco
teaches them that so-called Cheap Gooda are in the long ran extravagantly
expensive.
Thia; in a measure, accounts for the gratifying growth of our business.
They appreciate oar efforts to give a hundred cents worth of value for every
