WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9, 1903.

Tho Chamber of Commerce is doingsome splendid work for thc city in a

quiet manner through UH officers andthe committees.

The industrial strides of tho Southand thc wonderful increase and growth©f its enterprises is attracting thc at¬

tention end admiration of the civilizedworld.

What has President Roosevelt ac¬

complished at thc extra session thatmight not have been dono aB well bythe regular Congress, which.convenedyesterday ?

Some of the Republican paper." aro

congratulating the country that afterall the postoJEcc thieves only collareda half million dollars. But is that au

The information comes from Wash¬ington that a great political battle isnow being fought between PresidentRoosevelt and Senator llanca withunusual bitterness. It is sincerelyhoped that they will keep it up for¿ho next year.

Tho Baptists of South Carolinahave cause to be proud and happy.Tho sum of $105,000 has been raisedas an endowment to Furman Univer¬sity. Tho $20,000 given by Dr. Jud¬son brings the amount up to $125,000.This shows what energetic and en¬

thusiastic work will do.

The Boston Advertiser thinks thatthe faot that thero are twenty-eightsenatorial contests to settle next yeartrill make the political year activo inBepublioan strongholds as well as indoubtful States. The Republicanparty must have forty-six northernsenators if it is to retain oontrol of theaenate in 1905, while the Democratsneed but seventeen.

Back and forth through tho coun¬

try the cries aro sounding, "Turn thorascals out" and "Let's seethe books."Their echoes grow rather than dimin¬ish. Next year, thero is every reason

for believing, the demand for a changeof administration will havo attained a

a strength and volumo sufficient to

bring it about. The Deinooratio partyneed not worry over "having no

issue."

Gov.gHeyward is being importunedto suggest to the Legislature in hisannual messago that the salaries ofthe members of the State board ofdispensary directors be increased to91,500 per annum instead of tho pres¬ent sum of $400. Much influence isbeing brought to bear to encompassthis. The Governor has not indio »ted«hat action he purr 868 to take inthe matter.

There are 20,000 moro colored thanwhite children enrolled in the publicschools of South Carolina, accordingto the report of Superintendent ofEducation Martin. Statistics fromMarion oounty aro missing, and as a

result the report to the general as¬

sembly is not exaot, but as far as can

be estimated the enrollment for 1903is 286,982, there being 138,076 whiteand 153,816 colored.

On the 2nd inot. the census bureauat Washington iouued a report on thoquantity of cotton ginned from thegrowth of 1903 up to and includingNov. 14, showing total commercialbales of 7,070,437. The bureau ofagriculture now estimate that thepresent erod will aggregate 9,962,039bales of an average weight of 490 8pounds. As a result the prioo at onceadvanced to 12 cents, and it is prodieted that it will go still higher.

The new schedule that reoentlywent into effeot on the Columbia andGreenville railroad is causing greatdissatisfaction, and the Chamber ofCommerce and a number of businessmen of the oity have aent vigorousprotests to the railroad officials againstthe new order of things. It is to behoped that the officials will bo madeto see just how badly Anderson andthis section generally fare at present,«nd either return to the old scheduleor give na something better than whatne have now.

The positive declaration of formerPresident Cleveland that he would«ot permit himself ti be consideredas a presidential candidate in the«oming election has clarified the polit¬ical atmosphere to tho extent thatpoliticians are only dieoussing theavailability of two men-Senstor Ar¬thur Poe Gorman, of Mary hind, andJudge Alton B. Parker, of New York.From polifcioal leaders in the Weatand Sooth comes expressions that thewithdrawal of Mr. Cleveland leavea
