On New Years day at 10 o'clock
noon occurred very pleasant affair
at the home of Joseph Blackston.
The occasion was the marriage of
his daughter Della to Joseph
Earnhart. Squire Vandergriff
performed the ceremony in the
presence of a large gathering of
friends and neighbors. After the
ceremony sumptuous dinner was
served and many presents received
by the bride. AT night the hills
were made hideous by the roar of
several hundred bellers headed by
the old war horse Coon Reichley
Wood choppings are in order in
this community. At the home of

Germany and Venezuela.

Colon, Colombia, Jan. s. = General
Ignacio Andrade, the former president
of Venezuela, who arrived here on
Jan. from Willemstadt, island of Gu.
racao, has had long interview with
General Carlos Alban, the military
commander of this district. General
Alban received General Andrade at
the railroad station when the latter
reached Panama. The visit of General
Andrade to the isthmus doubtless has
ON important political significance. IN
referring to Germany's claims against
Venezuela, General Andrade said that
he did not believe Germany would
press these claims at present, but that
she would prefer to deal with the fac
ton now opposing the president Of
Venezuela, Cipriano Castro. He says
that none of the claims Venezuela
is now being called upon to pay orig
mated under his administration of
that country

Chinese Rulers Very Meek.

Peking, Jan. 8.-The re-entrance Of
the Chinese emperor and empress into
Peking was the most remarkable cpl
sode in the annals of the dynasty, save
the flight Of the Chinese court when
Peking was bombarded by the allies.
The spectacular phases Of tie return
Of the court exceeded expectations
The scene was bewildering barbaric
exhibition of oriental tinselled splen-
dor. Its chief significance was tho
complete effacement Of the traditional
deif!cation Of Chinese royalty. For
eigners were given greater facilities
Of witnessing the gay ceremonial than
would have been afforded them at
most European courts. The scene at
the chief gate, when the emperor and
empress entered the temple to offer
thanks for their safe journey, was
nothing less than revolutionary when
viewed in the light OF all customs.

The Ship Subsidy Raid.

General Grosvenors statement that
the ship subsidy bill is not so bad as
the rivers and harbors appropriations
is reminiscent of the westerner who
when convicted of stealing a load of
wood said that he had to do 1t in ''self
defense" for if he had not taken it
some one else would have done so.
Has it come to this-that all the fine
nowery arguments Of the subsidy hunt

the smaller iniquity of their schemes

Senator McLaurin Is sending out q
statement, prepared for his informa-
tion, relative to the growth of manu-
factures in his state. He feels proud
of the growth of South Carolina from
1890 to 1900 in number of establish
ments, capital, wage earners, cost Of
materials, value of products, etc. While
his figures may be highly satisfactory
to himself and to most of his newly
not likely to bring joy to the hearts
of laborers or farmers. They show
that while the number of wage earn
ers has increased Ill per cent in ten
years the total of wages paid has in
creased but ~ per cent. This indicates
a decline of 20 per cent in money
wages and of considerable more in ac-
tual wages, for it undoubtedly costs
more to live in South Carolina in these
prosperous times for trusts than it did
In the anteMcKinley-D -Dingley days Of
1890. If the protectionist tells us that
the decline in wages is due to the fact
that more women and children are
NN" Aido hC bClpCo CttoC
But this explanation does not explain,
for the census statistics of nearly all
Of the thirty states reported show the
same tendency. The statistics for Ten
nessee were made public on Dec. 80
and showed that, while the number of
wage earners has increased 81 per cent
since 1890, the total wages paid has
increased only % per cent.
Either there is something wrong with
our statistics or with our prosperity.
Can 1t be possible that our prosperity
is, like the handle of jug, all on one
side, and that the side Of the trusts
and protected manufacturers?

MENT. A LA SOLOMON.

Williston Graphic: The question of
ownership of a yearling colt came very
nearly causing serious trouble on our
streets Tuesday. Herbert Leary and
John Pesheck, of the south side, both
claimed the colt and both seemed to
think that force was the only method
of protecting ownership. Guns were
in evidence on both sides, but as no at
tempt was made to shoot, no one was
hurt. The ownership was left to ar
bitrators, and the arbitrators decided
to leave the question to the colt itself,
which, when turned into corral with
it's two alleged mothers, went to the
mare belonging to Mr.. Leary to get its
breakfast. This settled the question
in the minds Of the arbitrators, who
awarded the ownership of the colt to
Mr.. Leary.
