FROM TRlFLlNe CIRCUMSTANCES.

Indications In the Boys Life That Prove
Prophetic Of His Future.
Carlyle says that you can tell how 8
man would do anything from the way
be sings. However this may be, it is
certainly true in nine cases out Of ten
that you can tell what sort of man the
boy will make from seeing him at play
when obliged to stay indoors without a
companion. Lord (then plain William)
Armstrong, the famous engineer, was
delicate boy, and one winter when 6
wears old was confined to the house for
months. To amuse himself he set several
old spinning wheels in motion by
weights descending on strings from top
to bottom of the house over the staircase
railing.
Friends and relatives brought mechan-
ical toys for the little prisoner, which
he at once pulled to pieces. 1t was not
satisfactory to him to see "Jack" jump
up in the "box' when the lid was
raised. He would know what made
"Jack" spring up.
One day, while fishing near rustc
mill, the water wheel attracted his at
tention, because it was fed by a ri1l
above which descended from a height Of
nearly 100 feet. Seeing that only 20 feet
Of the descent was utilized, he pondered
the question, "Why not use the whole
descent OF the stream as motive pow
err" A swinging lamp in church sug-
eested to Galilei the pendulum as a
means Of measuring time, and Arm

and it attracted the attention Of leading

ture Of large projectiles and the build

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The cultivation Of the musical facul-
ties is as much a part Of the education
OF child as the cultivation of the
mathematical faculty or the memory.
This fact is recognized in the North
and West, and music is taught IN all
the grades of the public schools.
When the South follows suit, there
will be much more general apprecla-
ton Of good music and consequent
Improvement in the music in churches.

is, Indeed, vast room for Improvement

Bull Fighting In Politics.

Bull fighting in France has finally
developed into genuine political issue
which is giving Prime Minister Dupuy
much anxiety. His sweeping orders to
all projects of police to suppress the
sport have affected more than 800 par
ishes in southern France. The mayor OF
Dax, who has been dismissed by the
president of the republic, is southern
er who at first showed signs of submis-
sion to the government. Finding that
his local popularity was decreasing, he
veered round and not only authorized
bull fighting, but extended the season
rati, the end Of October. Some deputies
in the bull fighting districts will take
up the cudgels in his defense when the
chamber meets.

MORE ABOUT COTTON PRICES

The following extracts from per-
sonal letter to the editor again brings
up the question Of cotton prices in Sum
ter aud in Camden
ssFrom all accounts that lean gather, you
are no, exactly con ,oit' in regard TO the
difference in prices Of cotton as between Sum-
ter aud Camden. am just off visit to
the Camden section and made close inquiries.
Am told that railroad rates are greatly IN
favor of Camden, the C's carry cotton to
Norfolk for soc per bale, while BIC per 100
lbs, is charged from Sumter to seaport
Also. true or false, the statement is made that
Sumter buyers do not buy from wagon; but
whether false or not, the fact remains the
same that cotton is going to Camden, as It
neve, has for years, from North, East and West
of Sumter, and from within miles Sumter,
also from s'iu sight of Bishopville. There Is
some ss,rue iowardaess" to account for this
state of things, and my very strong impression,
amounting to conviction, ls that Camden
does bid higher prices for cotton than Sum-
ter. Tie Item 10 the contrary, nevertheless
notwithstanding. So that perhaps some
energy had better be expended IN ascertain
iup The ssbottomness'' of this, and instead OF
contesting eudeavor to remedy. Farmers
will ascertain the facts and act accordingly -
This throws a new light on some
phases of this matter that has always
been dark one to us. We have never
understood how Camden cotton buyers
could pay more for cotton than those
located in Sumter unless there were
transportation advantages iu favor Of
Csmden, of which We were ignorant.
The statements Of our correspondent ap-
pear TO establish the fact that Camden
has an advantage which does enable
cotton buyers to pay more for cotton
than can be given in Sumter.
There is ssill some doubt about
whether cotton actually brings bette.
prices in Camden thap in Sumter, bu'
that q great deal Of our cotton is going
to Camden there is and can be no ques.
ton. The cotton goes to Camden. aud
unless the merchants desire to lose thei,
business, they will proceed at once te
unite and take means to counteract this
falling of in Sumter's trade.

failed to affect the market. The an
