Not So Bad After All.

The Atlanta Journal, which has

for his administration in. the
following:
"The South Carolina newspapers
which have been devoting so much
space to picturing the disaster
and woe resulting from Governor
Tillman's administration, ought to
find profitable reading in the re-
port of the progress of the cotton.

by the Textile World and publish

"The report shows that the in
crease in the number of operatives,
looms and spindles employed in
cotton manufacture during the
past year was greater in SouthC Caro-
lima than in any other Southern
State: that as many new cotton
factories were started in South
Carolina during the year as in
Alabama, Georgia, Texas and
Tennessee combined; that. in short

Two in one flesh, but the thought
that has been occupying mymind
for some time il, whether or not
they cansboth live on what it re-
'quirest to support one. If the an
swer comes in the affirmative, it
affords me great JOY, if in the
negative unto their condi-
3tion.
About one ofthe funniest things
that has attracted my attention re-
Gently was the attempt by a young
man in this community TO pay the
preacher in dried apples. We un-
derstand there is to be a big pie

his young bride will be invited.
Well, boys, / don't know whether
we viii all be invited or not, as
twenty-five cents worth of apples
will not make very many pies.
We observe that Mr.. Charley

Shot From Ambush.

Columbia, S. G, Jan. 29-
]. 81. Clamp, a thriving farmer
was killed in ambush last night
and from the neagre evidence
there IS strong reason to believe
that his wife and a man who has
been living at Clamps house are
at the bottom of it. Clamp, left
Ridgeway last night and was
found this morning. about half
mile from his house in thicket
with halfhis head blown off and
his brains scattered on the other
side of the road. The assassin's
tracks were traced to Clamps
yard and John Atkinson white
man who had been living with.
Clamp for the last year, was
arrested. The gun found beside
the murdered man proved to be
his own, giving color to the belief
that Atkinson committed the
deed. There is strong evidence
showing that Mrs, Clamp was
accessory TO the deed and she has
been placed under bond, Jasper
Atkinson, an ex-convlct has
also been arrested as being one of
those who shot Clamp. When
Clamp was shot his little son was
riding a few feet ahead of him.
At the report of the gun, the
animal SHE'D and the boy was
thrown and had his arm broken.

A Big Indian in the House.

There was an amusing scene on
the floor Of the house to-day before
congress assembled. About II 30
o'clock Frank Garman, chief of
the pages, appeared on the floor
with a big Indian in tow. The
Indian was in full war paint, with
feathers and many colored blanket,
and carried in his hand red
feather duster. After looking
around the house, the Indian was
conducted to the Speakers desk
and placed in the chair, amid
tremendous applause from the
members on the floor. The pages
were simply delighted, and gath
cred around and gazed. with open
months, at the chief. When the
Speakers gravel was handed to the
Indian, he thought l. was pipe
of peace, and tried to smoke it,
but finally, when shown his mis-
take, he raped with it SO hard
that Jerry Simpson remarked:
"Why, that's the first savage who
has been in the chair since Tom
Reeds time"
After sitting some time in the
speakers chair, Chief Wolf, for
!thatis his name, and he is from
Washington State, vas taken taken
down the Hoorst to. Bourke Cook
rams seat. When he sat there was
3 general round Of applause as
some one remarked: ."There isa
Tammany brave in Cockran's seat.
The Indian did not seem to mind
the crowd gazing at him, but
calmly. sat and famed himself
with his feather duster. The pages
got in line and filed past him, and
he shook hands after the regula-
tion dude fashion, holding his
hand and elbow high. When the
boys got through Mr.. Holman
went over and shook hands with
Chief Wolf, and then Jerry Simp-
son again came forward snd re-
marked: "Why, Mr.. Holman, you
don't speak Indian, but Indiana" !"
and both laughed at the joke,
but the Indian looked bored.
When the time came to clear
the floor they had b ard time in
getting the Indian out of Bourke
Cockran's seat. Finally he was in
duced to go into the gallery and
let the Tammany leader occupy
his chair. As Wolf left the floor
he remarked: "Heap big time
here. Me like t."-Washington

Dots From Upper Choty.

MIR. EDITOR: Thinking that
few dots from this section would
not be amiss. we ask a short space
in your columns.
Christmas has come and gone,
the snow has about melted, and
the farmers are trying to settle
down to their work again. There
have been a great many changes
mad with Cuffee this year. Some
farmers have procured all new
hands, and nearly all have made
some change which causes a great
deal Of moEing: S
The bad weather has given the
croppers and renters q lorg b Iii
day, aud ii is hard to get them
fairly to work again, but We are
all jubilant over the prospects,
as the old farmers say "a hard
winter, a good crop year. and as
snow'is the poor mans manure
NE have had sufficient of both.
Now If the farmers can be
persuaded to plant largely of corn
and all root crops and supply
home with plenty Of hog and
hominy and let the cotton be 3
surplus, the day is in the near
future when the farmers will be a
prosperous people. Then, as We all
know, the merchants, editors etc.
will all prosper, as when the
farmer suffers, all suffer. We
think that the newspaper men
above all others, being educators
of the people should make long
pull, strong pull, and a pull
all together to get the acreage
iu cotton reduced and other crops
increased. We think that the
present price of bacon as well as
of all other provisions should
cause us to consider and we hope
it is blessing in disguise. So
may itbe.
If you have not paid = visit to
Choty. lately, you should come
down rs far as Red Hill, the
capital, and see the improvements.
Here fine school will be found
and an able and competent
teacher.
Mr.. Arthur. Morgan keeps .
store of general merchandise and
will sell you goods as cheap as the
cheapest. The progress of the
place, however, is mostly due to
the noble-hearted Mr.. Henry
Bussey who runs a large saw and
;grist mill with gin, planer, and
shingle machine, and also wood
and blacksmith shop. All who
visit the place will find Horny a
good man and never firing in his
efforts to do good to his fellow man.
On every side new buildings
are going up.

rolls that his wife bakes, and when

public last night
We, like you, believe in good gov
ernment, and having in CO operation
with others freed ourselves from the
reign of corrupt rule and established
a government of the best classes OF So
cicty, we protest most emphatically
against the reported assumption of
/ President Cleveland that the provis-

! islands should cease TO exist because
| the proposition for union with the
| United States OF America had failed
TO meet his approval.
We insist that the present govern
ment OF Hawaii has the same right TO
exist as the United States had after
| the successful revolution of 1916. In
| fact. the corruption and misgovern-
ment that brought about this revolu-
ton in Januar last were so fragrant
as TO be un bearable and the late queen
had planned 10 not only continue her
corrupt rule, but set aside the consti-
tuition of the kingdom and attempted
to illegally promulgate new one,
disfranchising many of the most in
telligent citizens and by her high
handed outr ages destroyed the last
hope Of improvement over the corrupt
and illegal aggression OF the execu-
tive power, 50 that no alternative was
left but to deposc her and establish
an honest and capable government
This has been successfully done, not
bv citizens of the United States but
the movement was carried TO a sue
cessful issue by people born and

had resided for many years here and
were citizens of the country and loyal
to its best interests, and only organ
lied for the overthrow OF the old sys-
TEN after all hope OF redress for the

Having confidence in the great lib

Action Of the Board
of Trade

Just at the present writing the mu-
scum project is in a state OF statu quo.
1t is suffering for the want Of the
coin of the realm. The questions that
present themselves just now are these:
Have the citizens of Guthrie lost
their vim and push? Have they lost all
interest in the city? Is the welfare Of
Guthrie nothing to them Judging
from their lethargy, one would judge
they care not whether school keeps or
not. This state of feeling should not
exist Let the museum be built; it
Wilt be of inestimable benefit to the
city and territory. Last evening the
Board of trade was to have held a ses-
sion, but owing to a lack of quorum
no meeting was held. Secretary Mar
ION was present. but owing to illness
President Spengel could not attend.
The few members present decided to
make one more effort to raise the re-
quired $1,000, consequently quite a
numbc of men will take the streets
tomorrow with subscription pa
pers. 1t is the duty Of every
citizen to meet the gentlemen
with a smile and a 81 bill. if not a

to the museum fund are reported:
