The gold standard bill has passed
the lower house of Congress by vote
of $50 against, and 100 for the meas
uce. The Republicans voted solidly
for the bill, several Democrats voted
for the bill also. The South Carolina
delegation voted solidly against it.
The Senate will no doubt agree with
the House, and it will not be long
before the gold standard will be Of
force; just how it will affect the coun-
try remains to be seen, we are not
disposed to think that calamities will
follow the passage of the gold stand
ard act, nor do we think that its pas
sage will obstruct Democratic success.
If the people are dissatisfied with the
Republican administration they will
go to the polls next November, and
say so, but IN our opinion the money
question will not figure so much as
will other questions that seem to not
be receiving much attention at pres
ent. If under the Republican ad-
ministration, and the gold standard,
the people of the South can get
cents for their cotton, and the people
of the West eighty cents for wheat,
and the laborers OF the North can he
employed at fair wages, and the oper-
atives of the East on full time, we see
no occasion to get warm under the
collar. All the people want is peace,
happiness and prosperity, and they
will glorify any party that will give
them these things.

The agitation has again started up

The agitation has again started up
with reference to the finishing of the
State House, the agitators OF the
scheme say it can be done for about
s35O,ooo. These people do not stop
to consider that this will necessitate
an Increase in the State levy, and if
they succeed, it can only be done
at the expense of the institutions OF
higher learning. The taxpayers are
complaining now, about taxes being
too high and they will not submit to
IN increase levy. 1t is all very nice
to have the State House completed,
and some day we hope it will be, but
just at this time the people are try.

are hanging over them, and they

to do something in that direction;

Col. William Elliott Is to be oppo-
sed for reelection to Congress by
Senator Joseph ". Barnwell OF Char
leston These two gentlemen will no
doubt make an interesting campaign
in the 1st district, and both are cap
able speakers. Charleston bas not
bad a Congressman for many years,
and she being the largest seaport IN
the district, and in the State, it does
seem that she should have voice in
the national council. Senator Barn
we'll if chosen by the Democracy OF
that district would make an able and
Jealous representative, and we
know of no man who is calculated to
be OF greater help. He has a mag
netic presence, is forceful speaker
and he has had such a business
training, both as lawyer, and a
legislator that he can enter the halls
Of Congress already equipped to take
part in the discussions in that body.
Senator Barrwell is honest to the
core, and if sent TO Washington he
will be felt, and his constituents will
be proud of him. The writer has
had an opportunity to watch the
course of Senator Barnwell, and he
has found him ever ready to lend u
willing hand to aid in any measure
which is shown to him, is for the best
interests of the State, and he has the
moral courage to take issue aud
dispute every inch of ground where a
measure in his judgement would work
injury to the people. Whenever it
came to matter affecting Charles
tor, that county never had man in
the Senate who guarded her interests
more jealously.

The Summerton Graded School is
being voted a success by its patrons.
The several teachers whose ability in
their respective branches is so evi-
dent, are receiving great deal of
praise. There are ninety-one schol-
ars enrolled and prospect of several
more TO follow. Two medals have
been offered. How the competition
is to be has not been learned.

The Summerton Dramatic Club
were not all satisfied with their re-
cent effort in Manning. Social cir
cumstances conspired, much to their
chagrin, to put them at a disadvant-
age. Mr.. H. A. c. Walker expects
to give another similar entertainment,
from which, he hopes, will be elimi-
mated the little difficulties of the pre-
vious one.

The British were badly repulsed
at the battle near Stormberg, and
from the list of casulties it is evident
that Gen. Gataere had great many
of his men killed, and still many more
taken prisoners, and he also suffered
a serious loss in guns and equipment.
Tnis defeat Of the British has given
much encouragement to the Dutch
Africanders and it is likely the Boer
forces will be joined by the Dutch in
Cape Colony to prevent General
Methuen from being reinforced at
Modder river. England 10 her un-
righteous greed for gold and territory
is paying dearly, and the longer the
war lasts the more is it being realized
that President Kruger is determined
to make good his assertion tsthat it
will be the bloodiest war the world
ever saw.

The Prohibitionists, through their
chairman, Mr.. a. c. Jones of New
berry, have announced their intention
to go into the next campaign to make
a fight for their platform, incident
ally of course, for the Offices that are
to be voted for. The people of this
State will not in our opinion, endorse
prohibition platform, nor do they
want to see prohibition law enacted,
what they do want is to be allowed
to have voice in each county to say
what they prefer, and then be allow
ed to govern themselves after they
have given expression to their wishes.
We have no doubt that some men
in the prohibition party are sincere
advocates OF that principle, but
there are many w'lo are riding the
prohibition horse, hoping to get into
Office thereby. Mr.. Jones himself
has held position under the State gov
ernment prior to 1890, and we think
that he has given to the press his in
tention to try ard get Office again,
this time he wants to knock down a
big apple-the United States Senate
Well, Jones may have a prohibition
horse hitched out, that he thinks may
take him to the Senate, but we don't.
We have distinct recollection of the
prohibition horse that he tried to
ride to the legislature on IN his home
county, but that horse fell down, and
died before getting out of the city
limits, and Mayor Evans had Linn
sent off to the bone yard. Mr.. Jones
can do a more graceful stunt "toting'
a sample case for Philadelphia dry
goods house, than be can do running
for Office, and he had better stick to
that which suits him best.

Charleston is to have canning
factory; this is start in the right
direction, provided she put somebody
in charge of the enterprise who has
more to recommend him than being

make a success of business. Char

not far distant when we will be able
to see the old rookeries on Bay street

afford an excellent field for the grow

the soil and climate being especially
adapted for this product. The South

General Lewton while walking the
firing line encouraging his troops to
advance against the Fillipinos who
were IN trenches was killed last Mon
day. Lawton's command was driv-
ing the Fillipinos from SanMateo
section of country, northeast of Ma
Mia at the time he was shot down.
Aguinaldo is still eluding capture,
and our men are being killed not
withstanding the fact, that the au-
thorities claim to have the Fillipinos
in subiection.
