WITH THE EXCHANGES.

WITH THE EXCHANGES.
Columbia State: When the
average Russian is in doubt he
butchers the poor Jews.
Columbia State: Well, cotton
has climbed back above the charm
ed "ten-cent" mark. Cotton
above ten cents is "velvet."
Arkansas Democrat: It ought
to be eleven cents all the time and
the farmers should not be com.
PEELED to hold their cotton to getit.
Columbia State: The present
State constitutions of the South
will stand as long as the intelli-
gent white people feel that there
is need of them.
st. Louis Republic: If things
keep on as they are going, Amer
lea will be no more celebrated for
its poor boys who became famous
than for its rich boys who became
Infamous.
Charlotte News: The Presi-
dent says "the worst enemy to
the negro race is the negro GRIM
inal." Wonder how long it took
him to discover that proverb,
which we have always known.
Hartford (Ala.) Journal: We
notice the farmers of this section
are utilizing for feed purposes,
several articles on the farm which
were once thrown away. This is
a step in the right direction. Our
farmers are fast learning to save
everything grown.
Southern Sentinel: New Or
leans sends out news item to the
effect that during the fever cpl
demic that city has maintained
onlya "ightquarantine" against
infected points. In as much as
the fever started in New Orleans
and is still in full force it is hard
tounderstand why that city want
ed any kind of quarantine.
Milwaukee News: A contem-
porary has found that a miracle
has been performed. The grocers
of the United States have sold
$500, 600 pounds of pure Mocha
and Java coffee, though the GUS
toms statistics show that there
were only 1870 pounds import
ed. It may be miracle, but to
the skeptical it looks like a fraud.
NO. Christian Advocate: With
one or two exceptions, the chief
magistracy of our cities is held by
men who live and labor under
party rule, exercising themselves
always to keep the Offices in pos
session of partisans. In some
places even a common laborer can
not secure work for the city, or at
the hands of city officers, unless
he is in sympathy with the party
in power. This is what helps to
make ring rule.
Roanoke { Ala. } Leader: Some
months ago the editor had occa-
sion to step into one of the bust
ness offices in the town just as an
upcountry citizen was passing
around his bottle of dispensary
poison. The newspaper man de-
clined his invitation to participate,
saying that he had never taken a
drop of whisky. This called forth
commiserating reply, "You don't
know what you have missed y
We have since learned. Our bib
ulous friend was locked in the
guard house last week for public
drunkenness.
| Leesville Is. CO. Sun: It is
earnestly hoped that our town will
never again experience the awful
shock of horror and sorrow thai
she did when the news came
Thursday that Wilbur Mitchell
had shot and killed James Trottel
in Columbia. Two large ano
prominent families have been sad.
dened and thrown into untolc
trouble for life. The whole com.
munity is in intense sympathy
with all parties. This is terrible
warning to all of the evil of whisky
and concealed weapon. Surely
other young men will now pu1
away both. It is a silly, foolish
dangerous habit that will soone,
or later bring ruin and destruc.
