In company with the County
Auditor or his deputy, We have just
completed another tour OF the county,
visiting sections which We have not
visited in years. On all sides and every
community evidences of progress
and prosperity are to be seen. Il IS
a matter of agreeable surprise to
note the changes in the appearance
of the country wrought By changing
cycles of time. Old folks have re-
built and renovated their homes;
children have grown up, left the
parental roof tree for homes OF their
own where they now reside with
their own families and are sur
rounded with the comforts and
couveniences which 60 to mako life
happy and enjoyable.
It was with pleasure that we
noticed all along the route We trav-
eled that our farmers have largely
given up the one crop idea and have
turned their attention to diversified
farming. 4 great quantity OF grain
has been sown in this county, per-
haps more than at any other period
in it's history. They have apparently
realized that it is best, and more
money can be made from large one,
when supplies are made on the farm
and the western market is not drawn
upon for the demand. Another
gratifying evidence of the prosperity
of the farmer is seen in the large
amount of cotton still held by them.
It was rare thing to pass a farm
house where there was not from one
to twenty bales of the tieecy staple,
and the best part is the fact that the
farmer is enabled to hold this cotton
without doing injury to any one. AS
rule they are free from debt, with
barns and cribs and smokehouses
filed with the ESSENTIALS of life and
the cotton represents part OF the
profits of the year. It is their bank
in which is deposited the surplus
capital accumulated by the tolls and
privations and sacrifices, as we'll as
the intelligent application Of years
labor. Perhaps at no time in the
history of the county has the begin
ming Of a year found the people as
we'll off in every respect as this one
has found them.

decide the question of annezing that
portion OF Lexington county within
the corporate limits of the town OF
Little Mountain to Newberry county,
only four votes were polled, all of
which favored annexation. A bill
carrying out the wishes of these four
electors has been introduced and
will probably pass the legislature.

LAST NIGHTS rRAGEDY.

The good and quiet people of New Haven who sleep nights will be startled this morning when they read the tragic story of the killing of one policeman and the wounding of another in Prindle alley in the middle of the night The policemen were fearlessly doing their duty when they were attacked by 0 man whose record has not been good, but who was not known to be murder ous. The facts of the case seem to be clear and it does not seem possible that the murderer can escape the gallows. It is a thousand pities that his criminal career has finally cost the life of good officer. but there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent such tragedies, which usually happen with out warning. The family of the mur- dered officer will have the hearty sym pathy of the community whose order he was protecting when he was slain

4 NEEDED LESSON.

Seven years ago a mob destroyed the store of the Spring Valley Coal com- pany, at Spring Valley, Illinois. The company had called on the city author ities for protection, which was not giv- en. Suit was brought and the case finally got into the Appellate court, which has decided in favor of the com pany. In it's finding the court said: The question presented is whether the plain law of this State is to be enforc- ed when it runs counter to the passion and prejudice of a community. The constitution of this State provides that property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation The constitutional provision is wise and be- neficent, What the public authorities cannot do directly can they accomplish indirectly by cowardly or shameful neglect of duty? Does each citizen of the great State of Illinois hold his prop erty his home and his life at the mercy of the passions of mob? Have the public authorities no duty in respect thereto? If they, because of cowardice or indifference, refuse to take any step for the protection of the individual, is the community by whom such authori- ties were chosen to be held blameless when called to account by one who has seen all his earnings swept away by the rage of mob? There is no man so ir- fuential and none so humble, none so great and none so insignificant that he may not at any time become the victim of the rage of a mob. Unbridled pas- sion may vent it's rage on one to-day; It may tomorrow make his most bit ter enemy its victim. It is of but little that by constitution and statute the powers of the government IS to the individual are hemmed in, if the private citizen is to be afforded no protection against the wild passions of l mob.
 This is reasonable. If the agents whom a community selects to do its york are cowardly or inefficient the ought to be held responsi- ole. The decision will teach a useful md needed lesson.

PKOGR ESS IN OHIO.

Some thoughtless people got a notion that the Ohio Democratic convention made progress when it repudiated Bryan, but 1t appears that they were mistaken. The real progress was made yesterday at Columbus at a meeting of less than q dozen enthusiasts who or ganized themselves into "the Pro- gressive Democratic party'' This meeting was the outcome of a confer ence held at Cleveland the week after the State convention. At this meeting protest was made against the action of the State convention, and a call was issued for convention of Bryan Dem- ocrats.'
 If there aren't a dozen Bryan Demo- crats in Ohio the progress situation would seem to be rather slim. But it is better to be right and progressive than to be anything else, and the pro- gressive Democratic party of Ohio, though small in numbers, can be big in bluff

PARLIAMENT's HOURS.

| An enterprising member will suggest | to Mr. Balfour that instead of the 12 o'clock rule being suspended, as it in- variably is at this period of the season, the House of Commons should meet at an earlier hour. This proposal is not | likely to be accepted and it is by no means original. The Parliamentary
 hours, indeed, have undergone good
 many changes since the mother of Par liaments entered on her maternal du ties and it is only twelve years since radical change was made in them the House meeting at 3, instead of 4,
 and adjourning, nominally at 12, in-
 stead of at lever so much o'clock"
 This has produced greater regularity in the hours, but it has certainly not reduced the time spent in debate.
 Parliamentary sittings in the early days began generally at o'clock in the morning, but often at or z, and con-
 tinued until il, the committee being appointed to sit in the afternoon. Tn the time of Charles II. 6 o'clock was the usual hour for commencing public business, and o'clock the hour for ris- ing. At a later period, 10 o'clock was the ordinary time of meeting, and the practice of adjourning the House nom- inally until that hour continued until 1906, although so early meeting had long been discontinued. According to the present practice, no hour is named by the House for it's next meeting, but it is announced in the votes" at what hour MT. Speaker will take the chair. There is nothing to prevent the House sitting at later hour than usual for the sake of convenience. Thus, on the occasion of the naval review at Spit head in 1853. it did not meet until 10 o'clock at night-The London Chroni- alA
