Roosevelt was. he says. a great man

then he would have been elected by
at least 100. 900 majority. Had the cleo

Paying for the Philippines.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The possession OF the Philippine group
OF Islands without monetary compensation
to Spain Is n project of such doubtful po-
litical policy and practical commercial
value that public opinion Is greatly d.
vided as to It's propriety. Under such cir
cumstances IL will require very substan-
tial proofs OF advantage to justify the
United States In paying s4o.0 900 900 for the
title TO islands which tho Spaniards have
never been able 20 completely possess.
Anxious as some Of the European nations
appear to be for a stronger foothold In
the East. we doubt II any of them would
pay $40. 900. 900 for the privilege Of stepping
into the shoes of Spain.

PRIZE LONG STAPLE COT.
TON SEED.

Several years ago a stalk Of
long staple was found in field of
King Cotton. Two springs ago l
secured scme of these seed, and in
the fall of 1896 | was awarded the
first prize of $3.50 at the Vicksburg
Fair, and sold the bale at 16 cents
a pound. Last spring after the
high water went down ! planted
this cotton again, and on rich land
it made Just as much, and ripened
as early as the most prolific short
staple. The Vicksburg Cotton
Co., sold this cotton for me as il
was picked by ordinary tenants
over the whole plantations at 9a
cents when other cotton was sell
ing at 81. The length of staple is
Il inches, and it has a small seed.
l can ship by boat on the MiSsis-
sippi River, l have a limited
quantity Of extra pure seed which
I will sell at very reasonable rates.

ness as all we're chasing away the hap
py hours with flying feet, At one
o'clock all repaired to the spacious
dining room, where sumptuous refresh
ments were served. About two o'clock
the hour for parting came far too soon
for those enjoying themselves, and

There was no elaborate celebra-

only by the usual commemorative
services on Monday night at the

by the giving of elaborate enter

of Joy appropriate to the festival
instituted to keep in mind the

In Memoriam.

Died at Selma, on Wednesday
morning, March 8th, of typhoid
fever, Miss Sallie Maury Stanton.
1t is sad duty for one who
knew her so well to pay a fitting
and appropriate tribute to her
memory, but ali of US must some
time in our pilgrimage through
this vale of tears, give expression
to those emotions which the heart
feels most. 1t was the sweet
privilege of the writer of these
lines to call her FRIEND, and, in
the days so full of happiness, her
gracious presence gave additional
pleasure and induced those who
loved her SO well to indulge in the
fond and pleasing delusion that
those bright and happy days
would last forever. But she has
gone from the scenes of life! She
has passed to that Happy Land to
join her father who preceded her
but few short months, and we
reyerently trust that together in
those celestial realms, their en-
franchised spirits keepAngel watch
over the desolate home once so hap
Ply. A home which will over
llnger in the memory of those who
shared its hospitality. All can
do is to lay this humble tribute of
remembrance and affection on her
hallowed grave.
"There is no death: an angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread:
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead.
And when He finds a smile too bright,
A heart too pure for taint or vice
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise

The great business activity of
Greenville at present is evidenced
by the unwonted press of work in
its banks, which are buster than
they were at the height of the sea-
son in November, and the clearings
for the month of February were
greater than they have ever been
in any previous month. Green
vile has received up to date near
ly 1900 bales of cotton, and the
amount will easily run over 50, 900.
Give the Delta a year or two of
freedom from overflow, and even
with scent cotton we will have the
finest country and the most -four
ishing city in the South.

An interview with Captain
Arthur Hider, government engi
neer, elicits the very interesting
facts that the damage to the re-
vetment is not as serious as was
at first feared, and that the break
can readily be repaired. Work
will be begun upon it as soon as
the water in the river is low
enough to permit. Had the rise
in the river continued, the situa-
ton would no doubt have become
serious enough to justify alarm,
as the levee near the north end of
the revetment was menaced by the
cave. The falling of the water
and probable freedom from a
further rise has made it possible
to begin active work at this point
already, and all uneasiness has
abated.

A great deal of complaint by
both merchants and the travelling
public is produced by the changed
schedule of the Y. 4. NJ. V. rail
road, which gives passengers from
the south less than two hours in
the city, the train arriving after
twelve and leaving at half past
three. There seems to exist u
general desire for return to the
old schedule, or some change which
will give visitors longer stay in
the city and yet allow them to re-
turn home on the same day. A
remonstranoe by the merchants
and Board Of Trade might have
the desired effect.

Death Of Judge 0'Bannon.

The death Of Judge D. B.
y 'Bannon occurred at his home IN
= ireenville on Friday night, March
nth, after severe illness of short
duration For more than 80 years
Judge O'Bannon has been a well
known figure in the public life of
w ashlngton county, having come
to this country from Virginia, the
state Of his birth, when young
man. Being a strong uncompro-
hlslng champion Of his convictions,
ana vigorous partisan on the
the side Of whatever subject he
conceived So be the right one, he
naturally aroused opponents as
well as strong supporters, but
however he may have been regard
ed by the partiality of friends or
the prejudice Of others in life, there
IS but one verdict now, and that ia
a sincere tribute by all men to his
nigh sense of duty, justice, and
right, and his conscientious sup
port of all that he esteemed best.
For many years he filled the Office
OF Magistrate in this district, AID
more than once has been warmly
supported for Mayor of Green
vile. He was a devout Christian,
and a man whose life as husband

Hereafter, by order of the coun-
Gil, it is . misdemeanor Tor any
person contracting with with the
city for water to either give OF
sell or permit any person to use,
for domestic purposes or other
wise, water from any hydrant or
faucet owned, rented or leased by
such person from the city. The
ordinance also makes it o misde-
meanor for any person to take
water, for sale or domestic pur-
poses from the hydrant or faucet
of owners or lessons, either with
or without their consent, the fine
for such offense being | to twenty
five dollars. These ordinances we're
rendered necessary by the con-
stantly increasing imposition upon
the city by persons who are un-
willing or unable to lease and pay
for the water. 1t sounds little
like harshness, perhaps, but on q
dispnssionate view of the matter
the JUSTICE of the ordinance must
be acknowledged.

The city government has or,
dained that it shall be a misde-
meanor for any person conducting
the business of a saloon or dram
shop in this city to screen or cur
tain either the doors or the win
dows Of such saloon, under pen
atty of not less than % nor more
than 100 dollars. 1t is supposed
that the object of such ordinances
is to discourage drinking, the idea
being that there is something scan
dalous in the act of imbibing IL
quor at a bar. If a man imblbes
enough to get drunk, or imbibes
SO frequently that he robs his faml-
ly of the money which should be
used for their comfort, it is GER
tainly scandalous, but otherwise
the principal benefit to be gained
from unscreened bar rooms is the
fact that they may deter some
men who would hesitate before
setting an example to those who
are younger or weaker than them-
selves.
