What he has to Say About Politics, Ma
tiouaI and state.
State Senator BarnweiI, Of Charles
ton, has been in Washington looking
after law case pending 2cforo the
United States Supreme Cowrt in which
he is Interested. M. E0rnwell, in
commenting upon the general political
situation, in I'm interview with re-
porter says he regrets very much TINT
the Democratic party suffered such
heavy reverscs IL the recent elections.
He says the South has nothing to gnin
by advocating FREQ silver, and the
sooner the Southern people realize Tint
fact the better it will be for all con
cerncd. He says South Carolina will
this year lead all Of the Southern
States in the manufacture of cotton.
More thnu unc-half of the entire cotton
crop Of the State will bc manufactured
in South Carolina. The crop of corn
and the yield OF hogs and cattle is bet
ter than for many years past, and
prosperity is about to dawn upon
South Carolina again.
AS to the Constitutional Convention
Mr.. BarnweN says he believes that tho
result of the Convention will be more
satisfactory to the practical men OF the
State than they had hoped for i'll the
beginning.

81 800 OF deficiencies of the two pre-
ceding years amounting to some S..
500. The fair society began this fair
with debt of$4, 900, exclusive Of the
obligations settled by the Columbia's
subscriptions. and ended it with a debt
probably not more than 81 800. With
careful management from this time for

of the RAILROADS and the business men
of Columbia, the enterprise will pros
