The Charleston News and Courier
laments the defeat of General Wade
Hampton in an editorial headed "The
Old Soldier Must Go." It says: "The
war is over in South Carolina. Wade
Hampton has been, discharged from
the service, of the State to make room
for a man who was too young to be a
'rebel.' Take the old gray coat out
of the closet and look at it for the last
time before it is thrown into the rag
tagit represented something and
meant something twenty years ago.
Throw the battered old canteen into
the ash-barrel it meant something
twenty years ago. Unfold the tatter
ed old battle-flag, under whose once
glorious folds you; perchance,-followed
Hampton into the very jaws of
death look at it for the last time,and
let the flames consume it. All these
things are but dust and ashts. The
agony is over. There are no longer
any 'rebels' or .'traitors.' The Con
federate soldier has outlived his day in
South Carolina. It was only a dream."
The Philadelphia Reccrd' says:
"One gratifying comparison 'between
the first eleven months of 1890 and
the corresponding months of 1889 's
the remarkable dimunition in the loss
es by fire. The total losses to Novem
ber 30, 1889, were ; $124,644,450
The losses to November 30, 1890, were
$94, 1 1 8,345. The country is thus
$30,526,105 better off than it was last
year. The losses this year are also
nearly $25,000,000 less than for the
corresponding eleven months in 1888;
from which may be argued a larger
precautation and probably better
methods of construction,"
The average attendance at the
schools of North Carolina' is thirty two
per cent for the whites and fifty four
-percent for the blacks.. Not a flatter
ing showing for the suprrior Caucau-

Our city commissioners are making
haste slowly in . the matter of contract
ing for waterworks, but they promise
the people a first-class system when
they sign their autographs to the
paper.
There is much important work ex
pected of the next Legislature. It
promises to be the most interesting
session held in North Carolina in many
years.
