The Last nay OF 1899.

="
The last day of the present year greets
rs to-day. Asyear after year passes by,
weare reminded Of che shortness OF hu-
man life. And the reflection naturally
arises, that It is obviously wise to make
the most OF the feeting ycars-the most
for time and Tbs most for eternity. On
this day. moreover. the question natu-
rally occurs, aa to how We have spent the
year passing away. Have we improved
the time SonChsafed to usq Have virtuous
or Sicibuso oacts predominated? Are we
advanced inlwisdom? Are we nearer to
OK farther of than ever from that stan.
5dhrd which we u are commanded to ap-

ter or worse. as men and oitizens. than It
found us? These are pregnant queries.
Each one will answer for himself, and
better answer now than defer it until the
questions are put at the Bar of Judg-
mont At any rate, whatever our past
may be. let rs see to it that we take care
Of the present and the future AS heads
OF families, as individuals, as members
OF Ehe State, let us see to it that we meet
-at least hereafter-the demands of
duty. The duties which we owo to our
God, to our families and to our country
,--these comprise the business of life.
On this day-the last of the present year
it is meet that men should deliberately
and calmly determine their future course.
''Life 10 real," and we must not deal with
it as If it. were shadow. Life is
earnest" and We must not treat it with
unbeooming levity. "The grave is not
its goal" and We must not regard it as
beginning and ending on "this dim spot,
which men call earth" For our readers
We have no words but those of cheer.
It is true that our political situation is
unpromising. It is true that ut Wash
ington and Columbia our public affairs
are sadly mismanaged, and often we find
the ''pillars of State" no more than
"whited sepulohres." 1t is true that
kind of political madness rules the i'm
mediate present. But we deem this state
of affairs temporary only, and we expect
to see, ere long, better and purer days.
In the meantime, we commend our
readers to that patience, perseverance
and activity which will bring their re-
wards in due season. It is said that "a
brave man struggling with the storms of
fate, is spectacle fit for gods as well as
men," AS men, as a people of noble
ancestry. let us manfully and resolutely
work out our fortunes. If the fates seem
adverse, If the battle seems to be going
against us. the more important it is that
true and brave men pass to the front.
In this spirit, let MS as men and Caro-
linians. resolve to meet the conflicts and
duties that another year may bring
with it

The CUBA MATTER New York
Journdt Of Commerce, reviewing the latest
batch OF diplomatic correspondence on
the Alabama question, expresses the con-
viction that oil ADLER statesman than Mr..
Fish could have found u way of recogniz-
ing the Cubans without prejudicing in
the least our claims against England
The real blunder the administration has
been guilty of, the editor thinks, is deny
ing the voice of national sympathy to
Cuba, and thereby defeating the free
annexation of that island to this country,
in order that England might not charge
us with inconsistency. when, in fact, we
might have recognized Cuba months ago,
and still had as good cause as ever
against England for her alleged precipi-
tate recognition of the Confederacy before
its belligerency had been fairly estab-
lishe1.

are being done by now politically. So
we desire, after having eyed it to your

Bullock dates his proclamation, says
the New York World, from Washington,

Georgia on January 10. Doing execu-

viction, and deposition of Bullock ut the
proper season-a result which that car
pet-bagger too prematurely thought he
had rendered out of the question by
Congressional tinkering in his behalf.

A Beaufort correspondent of the
Charleston NeDs speaks thus dolefully of
tho condition of the colored people in
that vicinity:
"The negroes in Beaufort obtained
horses, furniture and provisions without
cost, and land at a nominal price. They
have worked after fashion Tor threo or
four years; for % long time they had the
comfort and support of the Freedmen's
Bureau. And now they are worse off
than they were in slavery times"

How SOME OF THE SENATORS LooK.-
We copy as follows from the Washington
correspondence of the New York ITi-
bune:
Parson Brownlow, the Richelieu of
Tennessee, still sits the mark of curious,
wondering eyes, with the look of dying
man. but with his old obstinate spirit of
vitality and fight strong in him yet-out-
wardly, all tremble with disease; in
wardly, all will and fixed resolve-an
aspen with the heart of an oak. Simon
Cameron seems still vigorous and bears
in his high-bred face the shrewd, saga
cious look of man who secs deep and
farm his cool, cautious way, political
prophet. Senator Nye looks what he is
n man Of "intinite jest" and bonhomie
Carl Schurz seems to the manner sena-
torial born-has the air of an elegant
scholar, and happily retains but few marks
of the soldier.
The two blondes of the Scnate-Conk-
ling, of New York. and Stewart, of Ne
vada-are esteemed men of mark by the
galleries. They como ns they went-the
one with his glossy pet curl still lying,
like sunny peninsula, in the broad
cxpanse of his brow-the other looking
as though the winds of tho Sierra were
yet playing with his wild locks-one
dainty, the other careless-one the last
result of Eastern civilization, the other o
representative Western man of the best
type. Both are men of admirable ability.
but one knows it and tho other doesn't
or one is alert, and the other is little
lazy. Mr.. Carpenter, of Wisconsin,
of whose eloquence we have heard such
great things, looks. on the whole, up to
his reputation. Ho is dark and power
fully made. People say he is like Web
ster, but 1 confess [ can't SEQ it. He
wolks about the Senate chamber with
his hands in his pockets, in an easy
Western swing. which Is too full of real
manliness to be swagger, and too ener.
getlc for saunter, yet suggests both.
The SPANISH GUN BoATs.-Y Yesterday
afternoon, at half-past o'clock, Com
modore Casariego and Captains Tragua,
Ponegro and Laguoilla, of the Spanish
fleet Of gun-boats which recently arrived
in our waters, in company with Senor
Moncada, the Spanish Consul, paid an
official visit to the city authorities. After
viewing the Council Chamber. the party
adjourned to the Clerks office, where
Roberts, messenger and caterer of Coun-
Gil, had spread o collation.. There senti-
ments were exchanged, and toasts to
the respective Governments mutually
pledged. The officers subsequently visit
ed the Custom House, and last evening
were present at the Academy of Music.
The gun-boats will remain here several
days, and it is not improbable that this
port will be made the rendezvous for the
whole feet before proceeding to Cuban
waters. - Charleston Courier, 22h.

A correspondent of lilo Charleston
Ne,cs. writing from Florence, S. c.,
says:
Last week the gin-house of Mr.. Peter
Coggeshall, near here, was totally do
stroyed, with its contents of cotton, cot
ton seed, &c. On Saturday morning.
before day, the store of Messrs. Wine
burg & Strauss was fired, and the pro-
prietors and clerks came near being suffo-
Gated in the burning building. The
workshops of Mr.. John FL. Husbands,
adjoining, caught, and were utterly de-
molished. All these fires were the work
of incendiaries, and except that Messrs.
Winebnrg & Strauss, who were partially
insured, the losses have to be borne solely
by the unfortunate owners.
L see paragraph in yonr issnc of the
25th, that Mr.. Z. NJ. Davis had mur-
Lered n negro. This is IN error. The
circumstances were that Mr.. Davis got
into difficulty with n merchant here. in
which harsh language was used. The
merchant drew q sword and Mr.. Davis u
knife. Arthur. Mr.. Davis body servant,
got between the belligerents to protect
his former master and to stop bloodshed.
In doing this, he caught blow, not
"Anieu az hi", WHICH euIeTeu Tue maln
artery of the leg, and Arthur died the
next day from loss of blood. UP to the
hour of his death he expressed isstrong
attachment to his old master. and said
he did not wish him arrested, for he
never intended to harm him. This at
tachmcnt was reciprocal, and none re-
grcts Arthur's loss more than Mr.. Davis
Mr.. Davis is one of our most respectable
and esteemed citizens, and has the sym
patty Of the whole community. white
and colored, in this unfortunate accident,
which he regrets.
