The Society Column.

The society column of the daily pa
pers is most entrancingly interesting.
Even in Charleston 1t is making It's
way. Some time ago The Charleston
Post ventured to print society news.
At first the effort was not brilliant.
Within the last few months, however,
it has developed wonderfully One may
find the society news of Charleston told
in The Post in a style equally bright as
that of the most prominent Of Southern
newspapers. The Post without it's socie-
ty column would be the play OF Hamlet
with Ophelia, Polonius, Laertcs, and
all except the ghost, the prince and
the grave diggers left u In short
the story of life in Charleston would
be eliminated.

A Wise Man.

Grover Cleveland, Esq, delivered an
address in the interests OF negro edu-
cation last week in New York City
which showed clearly that the hard
headed ev-president is sound on this
subject as we'll as on others. He told
his Northern hearers plainly that what
they called prejudice" in the South
might be a deep-seated race instinct
and that whatever of good might be
done for the Southern negroes would
depend chiefly upon the white people
of the South, Grover Cleveland is a
wise man.

"Ch0Osing A Wife,,

In and around Laurens q good deal
of marrying is going on now and more
counting than marrying. Marry
ing is an important transaction. -
How to pick the right sort Of wife is
almost as important as how to pick the
right sort of husband. The advice
of old Gorgon Graham, printed in an
other column under the caption
Choosing A Wife" is in general
sound. 1t is worth reading. The old
mans belief In 'short engagements
and long marriages." will hold water.

That Charleston Dinner.

The newspapers have written vastly
about the dinner TO Senator Tillman
and some of them unknowingly.
The ADVERTISERS observes that the
people who gave the dinner were good,
substantial people.
That most prominent among them
were about 20 men who were original
followers OF Senator Tillman. Among
these were the gentleman who pre-.
sided and the gentleman who was the
senator's lost In Charleston.
That of Is or 20 former Anti-Tillman
men, men conspicuous In the affairs Of
Charleston, thinkable reasons for the
presence of several were evident. For
example, the mayor, alderman and the
candidates for mayor were not un-
naturally present. There were also
present some very excellent gentlemen
who represent some very big corporate
interests.
That of about 80 retail merchants,
there was a strikipgly large proportion
of prominent and wealthy Jews-all
good men.
That about 30 others, good men, were
present whose names are unfamiliar to
the public.
That the most prominent merchant
feels or ought to feel a sense of per.
sonal obligation to the Senator for
Congressional labors that saved him
large monies.
That while the characters of the
gentlemen who gave the dinner were
such as to make it highly compliment
tary to the senator, for which he should
be properly grateful, it was not such a
gathering of Charlestonians, in num-
bers or Importance, as would a couple
OF years ago have greeted the late
General Wade Hampton. There was
an astonishing number of notable alb.
sentees.
That the language of the senator
which those present at the dinner re.
garded as grossly insulting might with
ordinary foresight have been scheduled
and printed on the bills Of fare. The
Senator did his level best to be polite,

A STRIKING

One Of the most striking features of
this extraordinary development is the
shipment of water from White Stone,
which was begun less than two years
ago, and has already reached enormous
proportions. Mr.. Harris is q most per.
sistent and successful advertiser, and
the fame Of his excellent spring has
gone abroad to the uttermost parts. 1t
will not surprise us to learn that he
has made a shipment to the Philippines
or to Alaska In the lei future, but for
the present he is dividing his orders
between New York and New Orleans,
the gulf and the lakes. He is shipping
about a car load each day, and is be-
hind with orders now TO the value of
$4,000 A large force of hands is at
work day and night in trying to keep up
with the orders, which are constantly
increasing In number and growing In
quality. The water is shipped In car.

DEATH RATE DECREASED.
Improved Milk Supply. AniIioxln Treatment
Not 50 important as Education Of Mothers.

Chicago, Oct. 12-IThe death rate OF Chi
cago infants less than one year OF age
has decreased 60.1 per cent since 1891, the
death rate OF persons OF all ages has
decreased 1872 per cent in the same u
years. These statements are made by the
Weekly Bulletin OF the health depart
ment.
Speaking OF the cases favorable TO pre-
vention OF infant mortality, The Bulletin
says:
"An improved milk supply. the anti
toxine treatment OF diphtheria and other
causes often cited TO account for the de-
cease of infant mortality are equally in
adequate and the department Is disposed
TO attach more importance to the educa-
ton OF mothers in the hygiene OF the
young. The efforts of the women's clubs
and similar organizations in this educa-
ton have been steadily growing during
all this period of decreasing infant NOR
tally, and II Is believed this Is the prin-
cipal factor in giving the baby better
chance for life"
