blow little. Most that we wear is
made of our own cotton, but the indus
try and skill OF other States and peoples
return the stuff to us in shape for con-

In 1864 Congress passed an Act Civ
ing each State the right to PLACE in
sstatuary hall, in the Capitol at Wash
ing.on, the statues Of two Of its citl-
zens. Eighteen States have exercised
this privilege, although some OF them
are represented by but one statue. Vir-
ginia has placed in the hall statue of
Washington, and Missouri is repre-
sented by statues of Benton and Blair.
There are no others from what is
known as the Southern States, but
some attention Is now being given to
the matter in the South and there Is
much reason to believe that in the near
future this section of the country will
be fully represented in statuary hall"
The News and Courier saws: "There
is no occasion for hurry in this particu-
lar movement, we believe. 1t is very
hard for any Southern State to decide
which two OF its sons should have a
place In the collection, and the decision
becomes harder to make every year
with the steady increase of prominent
citizens"
We beg to suggest that choice is
becoming easier and easier with South
Carolina as the years come and go. We
should take Hampton and Calhoun at
once and there an end. The prospect
of Improvement is not bright.

Spartanburg is the great county of
Grand old" South Carolina-the ad-
Jectives borrowed. Some OF her citi-
zens held public gathering Salesday
at the Court House town, and resolved
to be represented with an exhibit in
charleston. A resolution went unan.
lmously to ask the Legislature to auth
orize special county levy to raise the
funds. But the Gods help those who
help themselves. See Aesop on Jove
in a passing cloud and the clown and
his cart stuck In the mud.
The Chairman Of the meeting of
enthusiastic citizens said:
ut was difficult for the committee to
accomplish anything for two reasons.
In the first place they had no money
and saw no source from which they
could get any,"
Then it is apparent, that the 'second
place" was superfluous. Ninety mine
