HISTORY OF SOUTH CARO-
LIMA.

Gen. Edward McCfady, of Char
lesion, has for FIVE years been en-
gaged in writing a history of South
Carolina, which gives q full, thor
ough and we'll arranged account of
tho State from its earliest settle
ment down to The close of the
American Revolution. The first
7olume, now ready for the press, is
devoted to the history of South
Carolina during the Proprietary
Government, that is from the set
tlement of the colony under the
Royal charter to the overthrow OF
the Proprietors' rule, in 1719, a
period of fifty years. In this vol
ume Gen. McCrady will review in
his interesting and inimitable
style the first explorations of the
coast and the attempted Huguenot
colony under Ribault; the plant
ing and growth of other colonies,
the contests with the Spaniards,
the Indians, the French and the
pirates; the development of the
colony through political turmoil,
hurricane, pestilence and fire, the
tomahawk and sword, to social or
der and settled government.
Gen. McCardy was led to under
take this work by the great need
of such a history. The few his
tories of the State already written
are not merely incomplete, but now
out.pf print, and can be purchased
only occasionally at high rates in
old book stalls. South Caro-
linians have made much history
let.us encourage the writing of it
that the deeds Of our dead heroes
may live for the emulation of
Carolinians Of the future. The
publication of these volumes de-
pends upon the encouragement the
author may receive. We have been
placed in possession of the intro
ductory chapters and found them
full of prcmise-indicating a pro-
found research among the musty
records of the past and an accur-
ately discriminating analysis Of
the causes that have made South
Carolinians what they area dis
tinct people.

APRoMIs1NG GOVERNOR.

The New York Sun has the
following pleasant thugs to say
of our newly inaugurated Governor
w Fl Ellerbe:
with the Inauguration of
young Governor Ellerbe, who is
identified with the generation that
has grown up since the war, South
Carolina has golden opportunity
to enter upon all era of progress.
In his address upon taking the
oath of Office Governor Ellerhe
pledged to aid in the work of in
creas.ng the taxable property Of
the state. "This can be done,'
he said, shy inducing worthy
immigrants to settle in our midst.
and by teaching our own people to
diversity and improve in every
possible way" Referring to the
kindness of the climate and the
fertility of the'soil, he continued:
"We are no longer dependent up
ON the western farmer for corn
and oats and hay and pork and
beef. In some sections tobacco
culture has already become pro-
fitahle indurtry. We have, per-
haps, the advantage of northern
and western farmers in many res
poets and with cotton as a sure
money crop, we can offer i'm
migrants advantages not pos
sessed by any other section"
Almost one-half of his address
was devoted to the improvement
of the States educational facilities.
"The whole history of modern
civilization he observed, teaches
that in the struggle for supremacy
the sceptre of dominion passes not
to the state most richly blessed by
nature, but to the slate that best
succeeds in training its citizens
for all the duties Of life, both.
public and private"
It is evident that the new re-
gime in South Carolina will make
for law and order and industrial
development if Ellerbe has any
considerable influence. AS to the
law aud order, without which i'm
migrants will be rather shy of ac-
eepting the invitation extended
to them, the legislature is ap-
parently in accord with the new
governor, for a dozen or more
members have already Introduced
bills regulating the carrying of
concealed weapons under severe
penalties for violations. One of
these measures would require
person desiring to carry deadly
weapon, from a rife to a razor or
a slungshot, to pay fee of $40 a
year, while his name would be
published in a county paper three
times as many weeks by the clerk
of the court issuing the license.
For violating the law tie offender
would be punishable by a fine of
not less than $50 and imprison-
ment for not more than six
months. Judging from the grow
ing sentiment in the legislature
against the murderous use of
knife and pistol, some law of the
kind is sure to be placed on the
statute book"

Fabulous prices are being offered
for rooms and windows along the
route of the great Jubilee procession
in London. a large house in Picadil-
ly, formerly occupied by the late Sir
Julian Goldsmid, was let for the one
day, June 22nd, for the small sum of
$4,000. Another house on the same
street has been let, furnished for the
jubilee week, for a modest $3.50 and
another house has gone for $500 for
the day. There are forty thousand
Americans in excess of the usual num-
Der booked to cross the Atlantic be-
fore June 22. The complaint is made
that the wealthy Americans have
bought up the windows and the leases
of the houses, but it is far more like
leases and will sublet the single seats
or whole windows. This is a custom
all over Europe, and sometimes, in
leasing, the landlord reserves the right
of letting windows for great process
sions. The prices are higher than
usual, but those who cannot afford
windows will line the streets London
will contain between five million and
six million people on the great day.
1t will be a sight to remember and to
pass down in tradition to ones family.

The war between Turkey and Greece
is calling out great efforts. from the
Greek population outside of Greece, so
that the numerical force that Greece
can draw upon cannot be measured by
the population of Greece proper. Vol
unteers are focking in from all the
Greek colonies on the borders of the
Mediterranean and from it's islam 10.
Even Southern Russia has supplied its
contingent, and that, it may be taken
for granted, with the secret conniv-
ance of Russia. Both in Macedonia
and Thessaly there are large bands CT
insurgents who will fall upon the rear
of the Turkish army and harass Its
supplies. The supplies must come
overland, for the Greek fleet can eff
fectually keep the command of the sea,
seeing that the Turkish ships have all
rusted out and would be apt to go to
pieces at the first broadside. The war
is by no means so unequal as a good
many people think.

TREATY ARGUMENTS.

The arguments used by the infiuen-
tial merchants, ship owners and whole
sale and retail dealers of San Fran
cisco are very cogent. They point out
that of the sugar consumed in the
United States during 1896 the amount
obtained from foreign sources was
1,67O,963 tons ana that of this only
5000 tons came from the Hawaiian
Islands. The amount of American cap
ital invested in sugar plantations is
$25.516,476, and in other enterprises
$3,672 ,O41, while other foreign invest
ments only amount to $9,00o,OOO. The
argument of shipping is used with
telling force. 1t is shown that ninety
