THE town is full of good amuse-
ments and of people. This will be a
lively week for Memphis,if the wealth
er permits. Among other attractions
will be the fair. which will bring many
people together, and should be liber-
ally patrOnized. The programme is
interesting for each day. AConsider-
ing that the presidential election
is so close at hand, our people
manifest remarkably little interest in
politics. Even William r. Moore's
long winded yarns about secession
Ku Klux and rebels who spend their
time "killin' niggars and cussin' the
dam Yankees" provokes only a de-
risiye smile. Colonel Tom Hamilton
makes a still hunt and angles cOyly
for the eoiored voter. He is after
votes and not newspaper fame, and is
really the man that Casey Young had
better watch, The "plow boy who
quit plowing when he quit being a
boy will make music in the air, yet
will not cause the grangers to
lose much sleep. lie is a polished
orator but somehow there is not much
demand for oratory in the abstract
The sharp decisive canvass that is to
bring all Shelby county to its feet
will be inaugurated by the democratic
committee in the Eighth ward next
Thursday night. Then the people
will begin to think of politics. Up to
this time, however, they have given
more attention to business, to work,
to money making, than to state or
national politics.

4 dispatch from Charleston, South
Carolina, to the New York Times.
under date August 18th. avs:
The utterances of Senator n. c.
Butler and General J. d. Kennedy.
and the publications in the Nelr, and
Courier, showing an increase Of thir-
ty-fyc per cent. in the population Of
South Carolina, We're not based IN
on inaccurate estimates Of the result
of the cnumerators' work. nor were
they made uponrc from coun-
ties containing large cities" rs Su-
pcrintendent Walker mildly sug-
gests in the dispatch published in
the Times. They rest upon the off
cial returns of the enumerators. and
the alleged increase exists in the az
riculturaI districts only. Charleston.
so far as population is concerned, is
actually the only city in South Car
olina |. IS the business centre, and
il any increase really existed in the
state it would show itself here. In
1870 the inhabitants Of Charleston
numbered 1886, and the census
just completed, according to the
Mars and C0gias figures. shows a
population OF 1899. an increase OF
per cent Ii also shows that the
whites increased / ,25G. anda decrease
OF 2l3 among the colored inhabi-
tantS. This would bear out the re-
pcatcdiy expressed belief that the
mortality among the colored people
in the South sUrpasses the frequency
OF births Outside Of the city, where
they We're no longer under public
surveillance, the cnumcrators Were
more fortunate in their search for
hitherto undisturbcd humanity.
Among the swamps, farms and mi
asmatic islands belonging to Charles
ton county, where it is almost inn
possible for white people TO live dur
ing the summer months. they found
an increase Of 1900, or nearly 40I
per cent. over the population in the
same places in 1870. The Mrs and
CoWia admits that several OF the
other counties viii show an increase
Of nearly 40 per cent What better
proof does Superintendent Walker
need that the enumerators and SUI
pervisor5 committed frauds? He
probably does and ought 10 know
that South Carolina has not benefit
Ell by immigration; that many of
the young white men have left the
State to seek employment in North
ern and Western States. and that
many colored people have emigrated
TO States where they are allowed to
enjoy the rights of citizenship.
Where, then, does this immense in !
crease come from 1t viii probably |
surprise no one to hear thai the Re !
publicans of this State have no con- !
hdencc in General Walker they |
consider him one of that class Of So !
called Republicans who are respon- /
Ibie ior their present misfortunes, !
and from whose friendly offices they |
desire to be delivered nj the earliest |
moment possible.

so many years after. Near 10 this
spot are my dear ones. They were
strangers to the country and the
soil. but believing. as thcy did, that
the United States was their country
it is fit they should rest here. As

my brave boy. When the remen-
