The announcement OF L.
Thomas Fortunes retirement
from the editorship of the New
York Age last week was SUR
prize to at least his western ad-
mirers. For more than 20 years
his trencent pen has sounded the
keynote of race defense, and he
has done as much to mould SEN
timent as any other one newspa-
per man. He was an able and
forceful writer, a great race man,
a true type and a newspaper edl-
tor. With his retirement we feel
a great and valuable loss in this
special line of public service; yet
he will devote his time to literary
work along lines that he desires.

Sunday afternoon Oct. 6, about
4 o'clock, the large twelve room
public school of Buxton that had
only been built about two years,
caught fire from a defective flue
and was burned to the ground.
Some of the furniture was saved.
The building is great loss to
the town as it was built at a sac
rifce. There was $5,OOO.00 in
surance on the building. None
of the teachers were discharged,
as the Y. M. G. A. opened its doors
and the old, school building was
put into service. which buildings
are now accommodating the 600
children enrolled this fall.

Report of National Banks of State
Submitted to G Comptrol-

Washington, D. c., September H.
South Cardinals industrial prosperity
is reflected in a report made to the
CONF roller Of the currency from the
banks in the state doing a national

250.27: that their capital stock paid
in amounts to 5000, and that the
individual deposits amount to $ll,-
OS2,S75.29. This last item in itself is
significant and shows that the people
of the state have money to put IN the
banks and that they are using their
home institutions. It is expected that
the report Of the Charleston banks
will be received tomorrow showing
business done by them up to the pres
ent time. From all parts OF the coun-
try these reports indicate a most
healthy condition of the money mar
ket and that the people are enjoying

The rigid observance Of English
rules in South Carolina courts and a
neglect Of the same on the part OF
Mr.. Pettigru, barrister we'll known

passage:
"Mr. Pettigru,'' said the judge,

"May it please the bench" said
the barrister. "I conform stlctly to
the law. Let me illustrate: The law
saws the barrister shall wear a black
gown and coat, and You honor thinks
that means a black coat?"
