EroZeu to Death.

LEXINGTON, S. c., Dec. 3.-Mr. Jeff
shealy, on his way to Columbia this
morning, found the dead body OF one
Pick Gartman, near the Orangeburg
road, about six miles below here.
The body was almost completely COW
cred with snow, and as there are no
bruises on it he is supposed to have
frozen to death. The man is about
As years old, and his home is aboY
five or six miles farther down in
sand hills from there. The coroI

DUNNING SUBSCRIBERS. Some of
our subscribers who are prompt in
paying their subscriptions to the pa
per don't like us to dun delinquent
subscribers through the paper. As
We have stated before, it is very much
against our wishes to publish these
''duns," but as long as people are
careless about paying their subscrip-
ton we will be forced to dun" them.
The man who is noted in his commu-
nifty as one who pays his debts need
not take otfense at "duns," as they
are not intended for him. Ii he does
not pay the week his subscription is
due we are satisfied he will do so later
and it is the "other fellow" we are
hitting at-the fellow who makes no
effort at all to pay.

The Berlin Echo has discovered that
among the Chinese the ''milhi" is priced
as the most delicious Dish. 1t consists
of newborn mice, still blind. They
are dipped in oil, and then connoisseurs
swallow them very slowly. At the

of China not less than five thousand Of

Violins are very susceptible to
change of the weather. The strings
of violin always become more taut,
and thus give sharper tone, when a
storm is coming on.

fairly satisfactory business.
The number of spindles in operation
in Great Britain was 500, 900 less than
the previous season (the reduction re-
presenting anticipated machinery
which was discarded, while there was
an increase of l, 100000 spindles on
the continent, $4,000 in the United
States, and 1913, 600 in India
Owing to the great depression in
business Of every kind, due to distur-
bance OF all commercial and financial
affairs by the issues of the presiden
tlal election, the American mills have
had a very unsatisfactory season.
Many OF them ran on hslt-time dur
ing several months and some of them
suspended work entirely last summer.
For the new srason of 1862 it is
doubtful if the European and Indian
mills will consume more cotton than
the previous season, as the expected
increase on the continent will proba-
bly, be balanced by reduced consump-
tion in Great Britain and India in con-
sequence of the distress in parts of In
dia from the failure of grain and cot
ton crops.
With the general revival of business
since the presidential election it is fair
to assume that our mills will take at
least 200, 900 and possibly 300, 600 bales
more than last season. 1t is also prob.
able that Japan will require fully So
900 bales more, and that Canada and
Mexico VIII take 90, 900 bales in excess
of last season. The India crop has
been seriously injured by drouth, and

CANDIDATE ROGERS made bad
break here in attempting to explain his
opposition to the bill introduced by
Representative Murray to require the
floating of a United States flag over
every school house in the state. He
had evidently forgotten that he was at
the home of the man who introduced
the bill when he said that the incentive
to it's introduction of the measure was
Hypocrisy ITSELF" The people of this
county who know Murray know that
he isn't built that way. He made Mr..
Rogers rather weary the following day
when he explained to him that he in
troduced the bill because a Populist
school teacher in Friday Harbor, who
shortly afterward failed to obtain
third grade certificate, had refused to
hoist the United States flag over the
school house here. What most Ameri-
can citizens would call patriotism, Mr.
Rogers calls hypocrisy.

SOME i'll advised political opponent
of Sheriff Jones is reported as saying
that the expenses of the sheriff's office
under his administration have been
considerable greater that they were I'M
der his Democratic predecessor, Mr..
Thomas. Perhaps the originator of the
story did not mean to emulate Ananias
but whether he did or not his state
ment is widely at variance with the
truth. During the entire term of Mr..
Thomas the total amount of fees turn
ed into the county treasury by him
was only S48.50, and the expenses OF
his office, exclusive of his own salary,
were 1922 35, and the total cost to the
county, deducting the fees collected,
was 81 ,44S,S5. The expenses of the Of
fee under Sheriff Jones, exclusive of
the sheriffs salary, have been $500 up
to this time, and this amount includes
all the expenses for deputies during the
Straub trial. Mr. Jones has collected
and paid to the county in fees 299.3O,
as against $3.50 during the entire term
of Mr.. Thomas, and if he doesn't col
lect another dollar during the remain
der of his term, or find it necessary to
employ any more help, the total ex
pense of the office during his term will
have been only $1200.70, net, or only
seventy cents more than the amount of
his own salary. 1t will be noted that
these figures show a difference in favor
of The taxpayers of S243. Is as compared
with the expense of the office during
preceding term. The county has
never had more efficient or econOmi-
cal sheriff than Newton Jones and
there is not the slightest doubt of his
reelection by big majority.

ton in this country and requesting an
opinion from him as to the merits OF
the controversy. The old prince SIM
NV saws that he is a bimetallist and
that in his judgment the adoption OF
policy of free silver coinage by the
United States would probably hasten
the adoption of an international agree
ment for free coinage by the leading
commercial nations He does not say
what i'm his opinion would be the effect
upon the United States should 1t de-
clare for free silver in advance of such
an agreement. and it is very evident
from his letter that he believes such
an agreement is essential to the main
tenance of silver at parity with golo.
OF course he is willing the United
States should try the dangerous ex-
pertinent of unlimited independent
coinage, but he knows better than 10
advise it, and there is not the slightest
doubt that his vigorous protest would
be heard if such an attempt were to be
made in Germany. When silver was
"demonetized" there he was the chan-
celIor of the German empire, which
his genius had created, the most
trusted and intimate friend of the old
Emperor William and the greatest
statesman IN Europe. The act could
not have been passed without his full
and support and there is
nothing in his letter to Governor Gull
berson to indicate that he has changed
his views since then, or that he would
take any different stand today If he were
in the same position. Mr.. Bryan Is IN
straits for campaign matter when he
tries to persuade German Americans
to vote for him on the strength of that
letter.

"JoE" HILTON, the Pop candidate
for the legislature, is much given to
the use of emphatic and picturesque
language; in fact 1t is what people who
are inclined to be scrupulous about
such matters commonly call profane.
President Cleveland, Secretary Car
Isle, Senator Sherman and numerous
other statesmen of both the great
parties he is i'll the habit of calling by a
name which never looks well in print,
but which is sometimes indicated by
the use of initial and terminal letters,
as follows ''s-n of b-h." Mr.. Hill
ton is said to be more or less expert as
an animal doctor and it may be that
the name referred to is indispensable
in his professional vocabulary and that
he occasionally makes misapplica-
ton of it without any uncompliment-
airy intent. 1t appears also that his
views of the great mass of American
citizens whom the Bryanites delight
in referring to as the common people,
are somewhat peculiar, as indicated by
an opinion expressed at Olga durir g
the Venezuelan controversy in which
he manifested much interest 1t was
to the effect that if war W it'll England
should result the United States ''would
not be in it, for if England should offer
$500 month for soldiers our fighting
population would enlist under the
British flag. The expression of such
lofty ideas of the patriotism of the
American people may possibly be pop
uiar among Populists, but fortunately
a very considerable majority of the
voters in this county prefer to vote for
a man who holds altogether different
views, man who proved his patriot
ism on the battle fields of the civil war
over thirty years ago, and who would
do it again in twinkling should any
similar crisis arise. We understand
that Dir. Hilton is now in Alaska, but
that he is expected to return here the
latter part of October. 1t is hardly
probable that he finds the temperature
in Alaska any colder than he viii find
it here after the third of November.

We announce to our citizens with a
feeling Of pride the advent to US of Mr..

rotary of the Local Young Mems Chris
tan Association. He is a gentleman of
practical knowledge, executive ability
and of characteristics which make him a
man peculiarly we'll fitted to discharge
the arduous duties devolving upon one
who leads in benefcent work, human
helps and Cody generalship, We wei.
come him sincerely and genuinely, and
we feel safe in making the assertion that
once the institution known as the Y. NJ.
c. A. is fully established and in working
order no inducement could be brought to
bear which would have US. as a city, for.
felt its influence, or give up its aid. OF
course, it remains to be seen how heartily
are the efforts of Mr.. Garfield upheld.
1t requires the united support Of all citi.
zens who have the good of our city at
heart. Enthusiasm and energy must go
hand in hand and a rallying Of honest
principles are necessary to push forward
the efforts of the General Secretary.
The erection of an all-round organization
means quick and decided move, having

and spiritual betterment of every citizen,

of wrong.
