so lust summer. Charleston was entirely
exempt Now, here is something else about
Charleston, that is worth thinking of, aud
that'is not generally known, 1 believe.
She is ono of three cities in tho United
States of lowest death rato, and her death
rate is made to seem larger than it really
is by tho fact that siok negroes from the
country arc oontinually coming into tho
city to dio and 80 swell our reports. TO
this class our hospitals arc great charity.
1t any man wishes TO see the demonstration
of this, just let him como here in winter
aud visit our hospitals and see for himself
In spite of the heat, some of our citizens
have managed to be very active of lato
The Sumter Guards, one of our best mill
tary companies, composed of very young
men, have been drilling vigorously and
giving various entertainments A strong
detachment of them set out this morning
on visit to the GrecnvilIc Guards, and
they anticipate grand time. The Sumter
Guards and tho Grccnville Guards love each
other very much, and arc very dear friends.
Tho Sumter Guards had tho Gfccnvilians
here some time ago. From GrccuviIle the
Sumtcrs arc to bo taken by their hosts on
mountain trip. These thinss ato good

know our up country. Not long ago an old
friend of mine, formerly of Charleston, but
lato of Gcorgia, told mo he was looking for
a place to settle as planter, either in this
State or Georgia. He has cxpcriehco in
tho business, and is progressive. ! imn,o.

think of settling till he had seen tho "gar-

and to-day ho goes up there and am
going to have him shown around. we

will exert themselves little, there is no
reason why wc should not attract thrifty
and moneycd immigrants.
We look forward anXiousy to our mi
nicipal election in tho fall. There are three
candidates in tho field calling themselves
Democrats, but Courtonay is the only ono
who is really so. Sale, the present Mayor,
and candidate for re election, acquired
popularity by his activity in the Hampton
campaign of 1876, but he is really Com.

before the country as to tho Appropriation
bills is "uot one of State Rights but ony
"involving the right and duty of Congress
"to control it's own appropriations, and to
"spccify the uses to which the public money
"shall DO applied. This is great issue,
"but not involving the question of State
"Rights or State Sovereignty at oil, but a

of "finaucia relief which concerns tho

Last years conscripts of tho German
army, taken from all ranks and closses Of
the community, furnish interesting evidence
of tho spread of education in tho German
Empire. The copscripts numbered 140,-'
1917, and it was found that of this whole
body 10000 had received elementary
education, and that G,2S3 had gone beyond
tho elementary stage into the higher
branches. No country in the world but
Germany, and no State of tho American
Union could mako such showing in tho
educational line.
