aged and devoted wife came to him, to find
him corpse. Great was the shock; but the
griefis allayed by the peaceful thought
that he fell asleep in Jesus.
He lived to good old age, II years and
10 months. For more than forty years he
lived consistent Christian life
Industrious and economical he provided
well and comfortably for his family. and
lett them sufficient competency. But
better than that he left to family, friends
and acquaintance the heritage of a good
character, an undefamed name, and the
influence of long and Cody life.

Revs. A B. Vaughan, Jr, and W, e.
Dean, in the presence of many friends
and acquaintances; and afterword his
body was inferred in the family buryine

The effect of the Mckinley prices.
A. New York merchant recently i'm
ported a case of pearl buttons from
Belgium,the duty on which amount
ed to s1,618. Under the old law
the duty was 1921, which gives a
very fair idea of how the McKin-
ley bill has increased prices on
articles which the people are bound
to use. 1t is estimated that the du.
ty on the pearl buttons is cents a
dozen, and if there is any further
increase in the price the poor peo-

From a political standpoint, the
situation in South Carolina is de-
scribed as somewhat peculiar. Ev-
erybody is talking politics, and the
people are. wrought up to high
pitch of,eXcitement, which is con-
fined to no class nor to any particu-
lar section of the state. 1t is gener-
al throughout the whole state, and
affects both races. So much bitter
ness has been engendered that an
oppressive dread OF difference culmi-
mating in open conflict and possibly
bloodshed is widely prevalent.
Meanwhile the leaders of the OPP
posing factions are hard at work,
and neither side will leave single
stone unturned to insure victory.
1t is to be hoped that calm ~counsels
may prevail, and the conflict may
be confined to legitimate political
antagonism.

Nine tenths of the raisins sold in
this country are made in California,
and yet California raisiD makers
ship all their best goods to New

marked as if they came from Spain.
They claim that the public looks
with more favor on imported raisins
and for this reason they are obliged
to go to all this trouble.
