A Brown Papsr Parcel.

Elevated train guards not infrequent- y find things in their cars, but finds of money are rara Some them have been kicking themselves for months over an incident that occurred one morning as a number Of them were en route to One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street to go on duty. As usual, they were seated in group in the last car, indulging in chaf. One of their mum Der spied brown paper parcel on an adjoining seat It was greasy, and looked about as ordinary as such . parcel can look.
 'Hello" cried this penetrating guard, here's some Eyetalian's lurch," and with that ie hurled the brown paper mass Rt the head of the man opposite him. In like manner the parcel was passed back again, and the fun was kept up until the end Q. the trip, when Ii was suggested that l: be presented 10 the starter with tLs ulen's compliments The starter tooA the matter seriously, opened the par eel carefully, and then thanked tbs men gravsly for giving it to him There was sl 500 in the greasy brown pap-r, but ;sh.s starter s...a he fek obliged to hold on to 1t until the owner called for 1t, which he did ths next day. Train men now invariably inspect brown paper parcels vite pas ticnlarity. New York Sun.

 New Workers never sit in their win dows to enjoy the entertainment fur. nished by the procession of people ane vehicles, writes a New York core spondent of The St Louis Republic. l don't believe l have seen a gen timely fashionable New York man or woman looking out of a window of their own houses in years. Ii Is an unspoken and unwritten law that you shall keep out of sight, and shroud the interior of your houses with layer on layer of lace curtains, oftentimes with as many as four different sets of them at each window. The only time a man is privileged to watch the promsnaders is at his club, and there many Of them do ii with vengeance. A wo- man never looks into the street from her house. You may walk down Fifth avenue at any time of day, and under no circumstances, unless mili- tary parade was in progress, would you see any woman of that house other than the servants. presume I have passed by the houses of the Van deFb:lts, the Astos, the Goelets and Goulds hundreds of times during recent years, and not sign of life have l seen beside that contributed by the menials The custom is doubtless founded upon common sense, becauss by sitting in windows people become conspicuous, and the alleged intentio4 of good form" is to remain screenen from the vulgar scrutiny of the puu lie. But II is well enough to set dowI this particular feature of our advanced condition of civilization, because, if l am not mistaken, the enjoyable habit of sitting in windows is practiced in mos. other cities. Of course, we lose C vast amount of entertainment by fore going the habit, for study Of human nature as you find it On the street a educating and charming. But her we are, for the sake of that seyer granddame Good Form, yelling the sun and our fellow creatures from ou fashionable gazes by these very stun ming sets of expensive curtains. It is like a theatre with the drop always obscuring the pictures behind it

Is this q White State?

WAsHlNGToN, d. c., October 90
In 1880, according to the United
States census, the population of
South Carolina was 995,577, of which
391,1O5 were whites, and 6O4,472,
including Indians, Chinese and
negroes, were colorcd. The popula-
ton Of South Carolina to-day is
1,047,161, consisting of $4,000 white
and G34,78S colored, including Indi-
ans, Chinese and negroes. In the
last ten years, on account of the
continuous movement of colorcd
colonists to Mississippi and Arkansas,
the increase of the colored popula-
ton has only been 30,316, while the
white population has in the same
time been increased by an addition
of i21,264. For every 10000 of
increase in white population there
has been but 5000 increase in black
population.-C Charleston World.

Good for Democrats.

WAsHiNGToN, d. c., November l..
The Republican managers here
practically conccde the election of a
Democratic House next Tuesday and
are paving the way to an easy down
fall by throwing the responsibility of
defeat on the Senators who opposed
the force bill and delayed the pas
sage of the Mckinley az
long as possible. These Senators,
they claim, have lost the party at
least twenty congressman. Chair
nan Bclden saw the landslide two
weeks ago and was shrewd enough
to 60 home, leaving j. S. Clarkson TO
bear the burden of the battle and
the defeat. Neither he nor Con-
gresham Carter, of Montana, has
been here for a fortnight. Clarkson,
however, has remained at his post,
pushing all the department employ
ccs for contributions for use in the
doubtful districts and %cndcavoring
to save As many as he can.

The following paragraph from the
Memphis Avalanche will be read
with interest by cotton men and far
mers:
A bale Of cotton picked by machi-
merry!
That is what was exhibited at the
Cotton Exchange yesterday.
1t was tho first bale picked by
other than human hands ever shipped
to this or any other city in the world,
and if the machine does what it's
inventor claims for it he has revolu-
tionized the cotton industry and at
the same time settled, to q large
extent, the negro question. 1t has
been held as a valid objection to any
scheme of colonizing the negro out
of the South that he was essential to
the cotton planter in gathering his
crop. The inventor of tho cotton
picker claims that his machine will
do the work of fifty men. If it will,
then the negro question is solved,
and he will have to seek other
employment elsewhere.

Frost and ice are getting to be

and backbone.
As usual "oldest inhabitants" arc
predicting a cold winter, and indeed,
we would not be surprised.

Experiment Station Mt Fort Hill.
From the Cotton Plant.

[From the Cotton Plant.
PENDLETON, 5. G., October 20, 30.
Will you permit me to give notice
to the farmers of South Carolina
through your columns that on No
vember lst, under the act making
the change, the Experiment Station
of South Carolina begins it's work at
Fort Hill. 1t is the desire of those
in charge of this work to bring the
Station as closely as possible into
sympathetic relations with the agri-
cultural people of the State. We
write them to feel that the Station
is theirs and ready at all times to
take up the special lines of work
most promising of productive results
which they can appreciate as advan-
tagcous to their interests. We wish
suggestions to be sent to us freely
that we may learn the special needs
of the various sections of the State.
While it may be possible that more
experiments may be suggested than
can be carried out, yet there will
usually be selected which will most
concern the greater number. Our
prime object now is to interest
deeply the people Of the State in the
work of the Station. Whilst the
College to which the Station is at
taci,cd will not be ready TO open its
doors before next fall, the Station
itself will begin ut once very active
work. Respectfully,

Director.

It has boon politics over and anon for
the last six months. 1t has been talked,
discussed and written until o Tybody
has become tired. The contest is hap
ply ended ut last, and tho election on
Tuesday determined our rulers for the
next two years.
The people of South Carolina have been
rs true to the Democracy MS the needle to
the pole, and consequently Benjamin
Ryan Tillman was elected Governor by
the handsome majority Of between 49,
900 and $4,000.
! This is just what was expected, and
proves that tho people Of this proud old
State still havo their faces set like steel
against aadicalism or Independontism,
In whatever guiso or shape it may array

cracy .lnd good government.

DEAR COURIER This is election
