tentionally out of place, be found and
its vote tabulated which necessitated
a second primary.

Work will be resumed on the gas
plant about the first Of December.
Already all of the machinery is here
and very little work has to be done
besides the laying of the pipes.
The extra train from Florence to
Atlanta will probably be put on
about the first o.. December. 1t has
not been run SO far because there has
not yet been any demand for it.
Sanitary drinking foundtains have
been installed on the grounds of all
of the city schools now. These
fountains are a great Improvement
over the old system of drinking from
dippers and buckets, and have been
Installed at very reasonable cost.
1t is to be hoped that local dealers
-grocers, butchers, etc-wil hear
about the decline in price of flour
sugar, meats and other articles of
food
Almost as much cotton has been
sold on this market this fall as last
the price has averaged consider
ably higher than last season and all
conditions seem to have been favor
able for an exceptionally large trade
for the retail merchants, but so far
as obtainable information goes,
business has been no better, prob
ably, not SO good, as last year. There
Is no dispensary here to absorb the
surplus money and injure trade, so
what is the explanation?
Unless the electric light company
gives better lights than they have
been furnishing their patrons re-
Gently, the gas company will not find
1t such difficult task to build up Il
business as has been predicted. The
electric lights have not been ANYTHING
like as brilliant as they were a wear
ago ana. at times, the lights are SO
red and dim that it is amost impos-
sGple to read by them. A year or
such matter ago the service was
all that could be expected or desired.
and it is pity the company finds it
Impossible or ineXpedient to main
tain the same excellent standard all
the time.
Unless the two candidates for
Auditor bestir themselves and arouse
some enthusiasm among their friends
ana supporters, the second special
primary, which is to be held next
Tuesday, will be a failure. Nobody
seems to be interested.
1here are many WOuld-be hunters
who are very much upset this season
because of the scarcity of good bird
dogs. Several Of them have offered
fin" prices for the dogs, but were un-
able to secure them at any price.

Southern Progress.

From the Boston Transcript.
Before the war; Is still in many
parts of the south the period of milk
and honey. of gold and grandeur. In
Charleston the northern tourist is Of
ten told that he should have seen that
city in 1860 to realize the difference
between its past and it's present. The
tourist hears stories of profusion
when a ten-dollar bill was no more
than withered leaf; and Charleston
was a gay metropolis. Now comes
the News and Courier, in a special
edition reviewing the progress OF the
city In the last century, and shows
that there is far more money in Char
lesion than there was before the war.
The capital invested in industrial en-
terprises is nearly $11.00O.000, or sew
en- times what it was in 1860, and the
amount of annual wages Of industrial
workers has increased proportionate-
ly. Capital generally is much larger
than in the Charleston of 1860, which
pinned its faith on cotton. What is
true OF Charleston is true of most
southern cities. With the abolition of
slavery came emancipation Of indus
try. by which they all have profited.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Changing Inauguration Date.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Unexpectedly and rather unfortu-
nately the house of representatives
took what seems to be adverse action
on the proposal to change the date of
the Inauguration of president and vice
president and the beginning of con-
gressional terms Saturday last. 1t APP
pears that this decision, however, was
not on the merits of the case, but
was the result of a fight between two
committees of the house as to which
should stand sponsor for the measure.
The bill has been recommitted and it
is stated on what we trust is good
authority that a new and better meas
ure will soon be reported out and
pass the house without substantial OPP
position.
Just why there should be any op-
position at all, and especially in
Washington, is difficult to under
stand. Most of the members of the
present congress were in Washington
on the 4th of last March and they are
not likely to forget that day for the
rest of their lives. If they still oppose
change 1t must be because they
think that risks of snowstorm are
good for the nation, SO that the law
Of survival of the fittest may be put
to it's strongest test. So far, one pres
ident has died from exposure March
4, and lot Of lesser statesmen have
either died or suffered terribly from
pneumonia. Last March ought to
serve as warning and incentive to
prompt action.
