Williams should have the honor of carrying the elec toral vote of that State to Washing ton "because he is an old Democratic war horse, with collar marks on his shoulders, the hair worn off his sides where the traces rubbed, but no marks or scars where he was chafed by setting back against the breech ing." Such a daisy puller ought to have ''the pull'' on it, even if he didn't present a very picturesque or aesthetic appearance. He' is evidently a man of mark.' h A woman has recently died in Connecticut who once travelled with a circus and had the reputation of being the strongest woman on the earth.

' Brycea Pocket Practice." The Star has received from the au thor, Dr. Clarence A. Bryce, of Rich mond, Va- a copy of the neat little book referred to in the annexed extract from the Richmond Times: We have received a copy of "Bryce's Pocket Practice." a complete and con densed work on tbe practice of medi cine for physicians and students, by Clarence A. , Bryce, M. D.,of this city. This, as its title shows, is an exceedingly useful little book, as it discusses all manner ot disease and its proper treat ment. It is an excellent work to have in the family, especially when-it is hard to procure a physician'. -7 Messrs. A. M.jChinnis, Phcenix; Gus M. McKelthan, D. A. Bennett, ,T. J. Hickman and Jos.

The Savannah and Charleston papers continue to issue lengthy "bulletins" in relation to the movements and plans, present and prospective, of the Atlantic Coast Line in South Carolina and Georgia; and while admitting that "the officials of all the roads interested are naturally very careful, in speaking of the subject, not to give away any secrets," and that "there is little more Information than X con tained in these rumors" continue to gossip and guess, and consequently give currency to inaccurate statements. The; article in the Star of January 5th was? a complete answer to everything in the "bulletin" referred to above, except the following which appeared in the News and Courier of the 9th: . ! "Another 'question which 'will enter very materially into the discussion of this point is this: How long does tbe Coast Line's lease of the Northeastern Road extend? The Coast Line leased tbe Northeastern for the express pur pose of utilizing it for its Southern travel,' and if that road should hold a long lease of the property, it is not probable that it would seek to make the change sug gested. In reply to this, it may be stated that Hhe Northeastern Railroad is not leased at all, but that four-fifths of its stock is oned by the' Atlantic Coast Line. Charleston being the seaport terminus of tbe Northeastern, it is rather in the na ture of a surprise thet the News and Courier should not be better posted. To Help Toans If en. ht the men's meeting at the Y. M. C. A., on last Sunday, after a most inter esting talk on Missions by Mr. George Worth, the "Extension Work" of the YV M. C. A. was spoken of. This is a wirk that has been undertaken by a great many associations throughout the; world, the object of which is to arouse interest in work lor young men outside, of the city where the association is located. 1 - ! Pledges of from one to ten cents per week for three months were asked for.; the object being to create by small but numerous gifts, a fund for the support of such work. The entire amount donated will be divided quarterly as follows i Thirty per cent, to go to the State com mittee for use in North Carolina, thirty! percent, to the International Committee for use in North Americathirty per cent, for the support of general secre taries in "heathen lands." and the re maining ten peTcent. towards the sup port of the training school at Northfield,; Mass. . About half of the number present in the meeting put their names down tor small amounts, the entire pledges amounting to about one dollar per week. A small box and suitable envelopes ' is placed in the Reception Room to receive the weekly offerings. COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES. Receipts of cotton here yestewlay 753 bales; same day last year, 252 bales. New York futures closed steady and five and six points lower than clos ing prices Monday; sales 130.200 bales.

Columbia State: If our farmers would only realize how petty South Carolina's cotton production is, com pared with that of the Southwest, and how much cheaper than we Texas and Arkansas can make their great crops, they would not longer drag in the shal lows of a tide retreating westward, but seek scope and I opportunity in some other direction. In the name of com mon sense, let us engage in agricultural pursuits in which we can find a place near tbe top ! CharlestonrAVwj and Courier; The water powers in upper Carolina have in ten years advanced South Carolina to the foremost place in Southern cotton weaving and spinning. Thousands are now living in comfort, with good schools, church privileges, etc . in the numerous mill villages ot our State; industrious; sober communities, sharing the profits of changing the raw cotton into yarn and cloth, with the very large capital ne cessary to these important undertakings. There is steady progress, too. in accom plishing these rr suits. . The last large mill erected, the Enoree.has been profit able from its completion, and its shares have never been below par, and now are in demand at $1 80. With State, securi ties reduced to 44 per cent interest; with the success achieved in cotton man ufacturing companies,, from the Savan nah to the Cape Fear, investment in cotton mills, with assured water power and prudent business management; would seem to be! entirely safe. i At the Opera Hon e To-night. j The Hettie Bernard Chase Company will appear before a Wilmington au dience to-night in "Uncle's, Darling," and will give a - street parade at. noon to-day,.

What a Noted Observer Thinks oi the Trolley. , I Erastus Wiman, in a recently pub lished article on j Electrical Traction, said: "It is true that the growth of the horse-railways helped enormously the expansion of cities enabling the labor ing class to reach outlying : suburbs and thus have homes of their own, and be getting within the city a celerity, of movement which otherwise! would have been impossible. But whatever the street railways have done for large cities, electric roads will do ten times jthe. amount. Not only will the celerity Of action be increased fourfold, but by, the expansion ol the system into tbe outly ing parts, the practical, enlargement of every city in the land to almost double their present population will be achieved. Within the city itself, by the frequency of service, tbe economy of operation, tbe cleanliness, bealtbfulness and reliability, a more perfect movement of people will be achieved.
