The Hed is in the highest respect a Fam ly News a r, devoted to the material in terests of e people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see frst page. PROTECION ENOUGH AND TO SPARE. The News and Courier has pub. lished a number of letters from presidents of Southern cotton mills, in reference to the comparative ad vantages of Southern and Northern mills, in the manufacture of cotton. Taking the mean of the statements received from different mills, it ap pears that the Southern mill has an advantage of about $4 a bale. Af ter showing, on this basis, that such a mill as the Eagle and Phcenix, of Columbus, Ga., has an advantage of at least $67,500 over a Northern mill of similar capacity, the News and Courier says: "Verily this is advantage enough. Protection enough." The point which we make is this: If the Southern mill has an advan tage of as much as $4 a bale over its Northern competitor-if it has "advantage enough and protection enough" in its natural advantages, why shoukL it be protected by legis lation ? Why should the capital invested in cotton mills in this State be exempt from taxation ? Why is it, more than other private investments, entitled to exemption ? We hope that we shall never be found among those who are in clined to prevent, or even hinder, industrial progress and material development in the South. But we frankly say that we cannot see the justice of that law which exempts from taxation capital invested in any private enterprise. The men who are able to invest capital in cotton mills are the very persons who are best able to pay taxes. A, who puts $20,000 into a cotton mill withdraws that amount from the taxable property of the County; while B, his unfortunate neighbor, who owns nothing but a house and lot valued at $3,000, is required to pay taxes on his property to sup port the government that protects A in the enjoyment of his stocks. Under the law exempting cotton mills in this State from taxation for the term of ten years, the State and Counties have refunded to the manufacturing companies the sum of $21,204; this, too, in spite of the fact, that they have "protection enough" in their natural advan tages. The Northern mills have pro tection in the shape of high tariff duties; the mills of our State have protection in exemption from taxa tion. There is a difference in de gree, but we can descry no differ ence in rinciple. The delegates to the County Con vention, on the 14th of June,should come prepared to say whether there shall be two State Conven tions, cr whether delegates to the national convention shall be elect ed, and the State ticket nominated, at the samre convention. While we think that County offi cers should be nominated by con vention, there is no likelihood that a change will be made this year, and it is hardly probable that a change will be proposed in the County Convention. The delegates might also give some attention to the question whether the convention on the 14th should elect delegates to both State Conv-entions-taking it for granted that there will be two and to the Congressional nomi nating convention. If there is to1 be a State Convention later than June, to nominate a State ticket, it seems proper that we should hold a County Convention later than the 14th of June, to elect delegates. The Abbeville Press and Banne, having ascertained that a majority of the negroes in the Penitentiary have been to school, concludes that education does not improve the ne gro. By inquiring still farther-, our contemporary would doubtless find that the majority of the convicts of this State have been to church, pos sibly are members of the church; would it therefore conclude that Christianity does not ~improve the negro ? It is just as fair to assume that the negro who I-as been to church is a Christian, as to assume that the negro who has been to school -) is nAncated.k The jury law of this State ex empts more than twenty classes of persons from serving on the juries. Some of our contemporaries think that this law is one of the primary causes of the unsatisfactory results of trial by jury, and should there. fore be repealed. While we see no good reason for exempting some of these classes, school trustees for in stance, from jury service, we think that we must look elsewhere for the unsatisfactory results of trial by jury. As a rule, we think the ver dicts of our juries fairly represent the moral sentiment of the coin munity; and when that sentiment is sound and healthy we may look for satisfactory results from trial by jury. For the HERALD. A CARD Messrs. Editors: In your last week's issue I find the following language: To jefierson A. Sligh-A representa tive man. The People's choice for STATE SENATOR. Will you accept the position if we elect you? Let us hear from you. VOTERS. N. B. Answer through all the pa pers of this County. Before complying with the request contained in the above complimentary language, I hope that I may be allowed to say that I am totally ignorant of this movement-of its origin, or of the names of any of the persons connected with it, as not the least intimation has ever been given to me that such a meth od would be employed to draw me out on this subject. For this reason, I highly appreciate the compliment as I do all expressions of kindness coming from my fellow citizens. The well done, so heartily given to a faithful public servant by those whom he rep resents, is to be prized far above silTer and gold. Numbers of my friends have frequently urged me to be a candidate for State Senator from this County, and others have asked that I should also al low my name announced in the papers. For various reasons,if I kiow my own heart, I did not desire any position from the people at this time ; but while this is true, for other reasons,there lay back of all this a feeling that I might be, and that perhaps I ought to be, a candidate for the Senate. Therefore when my friends appealed to my pa triotism to lay aside any objections I might have in the matter and repeated ly urged me to become a candidate, I frankly replied that I would, but we need not be in a great hurry to have the fact announced in the papers. But it appears now that this matter should be delayed no longer, as it seems that some are in doubt as to what Ishall do. Therefore I will say to the "Voters" making this inquiry, and to all others concerned, that if elected to the posi tion indicated, that I will accept it, and serve the people to the best of my ability. Having been a member of the Legis lature for four years, I stand ready to give an account to the "people" of my stewardship as their servant ; and I ask them as an act of kindness on their part towards me, their servant, to sus pernd judgment on any of my acts, or on any reports that are now in circula tion, or that may hereafter be put in circulation calculated to injure me, until I have had an opportunity to be heard. The people should remember these three things : 1st-That there are two sides to every question, or report. 2nd-That there is such a thing as telling the truth, without telling the whole truth. 3rd-And that misrepresentations are very common things in our day es pecially in regard to candidates. I am sensible of the fact that no man wsho is thoroughly selfish,, who is not able to lay aside his prejudices and feeling of self interest. andl labor for the public good, or who seeks or de sires position, simply to make it the stepping stone to something else, can ever make a statesmsa in the true sense of that word. The lawful in terests of all. of Cuanty and State in this instance, must be protected and protected in such a way as to produce as little clashing as possible. Justice must be given to every citizen, so that persons of every class, profession and ncupation may be prosperous and con tented, so far as good and wholesome aws can make them so, that the rich ad the poor together may work har oniously ZIer the up-building of their :ommon country. I am therefore fully nware that the responsibility to be im posed upon mec if elected State Sena or is a heavy one, as ini that Body it ~requently occurs that laws both good tud bad are made or unmade by a sin gle vote (saying nothing of the influ ance that one member may have over >hers) and that these laws are sent yut, so to speak, to be a blessing or a rurse to hundreds and ev-en thousands >t men, women and children. For the proper discharge of such responsibili ;ies and duties a clear head, a dliscrimi ating judgment andl an impartial nind backed up by a conscientious ~ense of duty and a lofty patriotism re all require d. I do not pretend to say that I pos ess these qualitications and talents. nd I rejoice that the responsibility of leciding this important matter is not nine, nor that of any particular class, )nt that it strictly belongs to the people, to those to whom the offices be nag, and that I am prepared to say hat I shall most heartily concur in myI decision fairly made by the people. No one, not even our fair-minded en 'mies, will pretend to deny but what he Democratic party has done a great nud good work for the State of South arolina since 1876. But while this is rue, there are other things that ought o b)e done in order to give the p)eople hat relief to which they are justly en itled and whic-h they have a right to leiand of those whom ther select t . lo their wvork in the Halls of Legisla ion. I propose during the coming ampaign, if the people desire it, not ly to discuss the familiar quest ions >f the day, but to bring to their notice omne of the changes alluded to above, vhich if made, will give relief, where elief is greatly needed, and at the name time will be robbing no citizen f that which justly belong.s to him. In conclusion. I thank my fellow :itizens for what they h2ave in the past lone for me, for the e ncouraging words nd flattering complimentsgiven to me rom time to time, and I now assure hm, whether elected or not, that vatever I can do for my native Countyv md State will be most cheerfully done. Respect fully, JEFFERSON A. SLIGII. KALAMAzoo, Mtenx., April 30. he poorhouse of Van Buren Coun y, near H artford, Mich., was burned ist night. Fifteen or sixteen in ates lost their lives in the flames. he loss on the building is $10,000; nanrak ROCKVILLE. This is an old settlement, but a new name. I wont try to tell you where it is, for I think you have been here a couple of times, and know what kind of a plaae it is. I congratulate Mr. Ed. on his new departure, and wish him a long and successful career. Mr. Alf. Crotwell has as fine patch of wheat as I know of. He is an extensixe cotton planter, but when he undertakes to raise wheat he can do it. He will soon put a steam brick mill to work. Our bachelor neighbor indulges in the furrow quite freely. If he had some one to raise chickens and pick beans for him we think he would make a successful farmer. Ilon. Geo.

The faces have changed in that school since I attended it, but the place is the same, and the teacher just a kind. Yours, &c., TcK. FOR THE HERALD. BETTY POPLIN'S LETTER. DEAR PETER : I fear you will stigmatize me as most delinquent about replying to your kind mis sive. I have been waiting to see what could be done for you-hence my delay. My parents think me rather too young to begin the voy age of life with you just yet; and then I can't do up my back hair yet. And I am also suffering with the gout in my right hand and big toe. It is useless for me to at tempt to enumerate my other va rious afflictions, such as a dearth of good frocks, and wearable shoes. I think the proverb that is general ly applied to Job's turkey is very applicable to me just now. Indeed you can't come to see me; you know pride goes before a fall, and if you will just cast about in your mind you will remember how wc lived in "high rye" when we first came here, but alas, now I am called upon to mind things of low estate. 1 dwell in a little black shanty which looks as if it were ashamed of itself and tried to shirk behind everybody else's house-in the extreme end of nowhere. You requested me to tell you something about myself, my looks, my beaux, and also about my big sis. It is very impolite to tell you about myself first. so I will tell you about her; and then I want to save the best for the last myself. My sis is tall and slim, rather angular, and rather a hard case; else rather hard up for fashionable togge ry and boys; she has one fellow that hangs around but I am inclined to think it will end in gass, you just ought to see her when lie comes around on Sunday evening to see her and then goes off without ask ing her to go to church-she comes in with a sickly grin on her visage and vows she does not think the boys down hecre are worth shaking out; but remarks that she did not want to go anyway and in her se cret soul she is dying to go and I know it but nev-er let on. Now I am going to confide a secret to you she has another string to her bow who lives off from these parts and I think it will end in wedlding cake. I can say this much for her she has just the prettiest yellow hair in the world. Now to myself- I prom ised in my infancy to be enchant ingly beautiful-but alas it was as false as the mist of morn that v-an ishes at the first kiss of the sun. Positively, Peter, I am a bone of contention to the whole family; first my little sister informed me that my nose hand heavenly aspira tions, and my mouth looked like a cellar, and my bangs are the p)lague ofiny mother's life; first I never p)art them straight, and then I have too many and comb on top of my head, man says my head resemb)les nothing so much as a hatchet, you know the Poplin's are a long head ed race. Well I must tell you al though I blush to confess it be ieve me Peter, I have a beau in companionship with another girl, 1 sae him very often at a distance and I think he agrees with a Camp bell when he says: "distance lends enchantment to the view" for he does not come to see me but about every two weeks; and sometimes, or at least once or twice, he has venturedl to face the wrath of the other girl and take me to church or a free show of some kind; the open air Wizard Oil conce:t for instance. Well, Peter, I havc not made any positive engagements for the fu ture so you can live in hope. Bye, bye, trust you will not think mec egotistic. More anon BETTIE POPLINS. A VEGETAR:IN.-W. P. Calhoun, Esq., who writes so intelligently on farming to the Saluda Argus is more than a "book f'armer." On his mother's place near town he has transplanted 800 cabbage p)lants, 300 tomato plants and has p)ut enough vegetables in the ground to feed the whole town. Mrs. Calhoun has always been noted for her fine garden, but never before has such an extensive planting been done. The reason is that Mr. Calhoun is more of a vegetarian than the bal ance of us and means to have enough vegetables if he has to do the work himself. lie has put in cabbages enough for himself and may have a few over for the rest of the family. -Abhherili Mc141m. LETTER FRO3 THE SICK MAN. CoLUBmI, S. C., May 4th, 1884. We left Newberry Friday after noon for Columbia, and reached the charming city without a mishap and pleasantly. This is the first experience of home leaving since our release from active duty and it saddens us when we think of the necessity which interdicis work that -Othello's occupation's gone. "Hang Ul)p the fiddle and the bow, Lay down the shovel and the hoe." We trust it will not be long though ere we will be able to resume our wonted place in life's drama. It is hard after so long a period to lay I aside the roll of usefulness and as sume a life of idleness, and we fear that we will fall into lazy habits. A retrospection of the past tells us that we have been forty-six years in a printing office-almo. a half cen tury. From office boy and all along the line of type setting up to the harder and we must say less re munerative position of proprietor and editor to the present time. What an experience we have had, how much we have seen, how much endured, and how many episodes have fallen to our lot. But it is not our aim to speak of these things now, it would tax our shattered brain to attempt to recall the past, and to pick out here and there some of the many things, which lie stored away ou memory's tablet-some other time, may be, we will turn over its leaves and cull a fragment or two. Now we must neither work, nor spin-a yarn, -the doctor says so, and our own feelings tell us - of 1 the correctness of the advice. A word or two, or may be three, we will not consider in the light of work, but rather in the light of ree reation. Well, we arrived in Columbia, and were soon much at home at the beautiful cottage home occupied by our son in-law, Mr. A. C. Jones. We feel better than when we left and this is much, very much. Four weeks, ago we never thought of being in Columbia, or any other city, except the one made '-by hand eter nal in the Heavens." How incru table are the ways of Providence, and "past all finding out." Columbia looks charming at this time, "all dressed in living green," and is at all times one of the most attractive cities we think in the Union, New Haven, Coni., not excepted, and her citizens are hospitable, kind, clever and intelli gent. Improvement is the watch word here, everything and every one is looking upward, and although there seems to be a perfect stagna tion in businees, hope fills the heart with joyful anticipations of the fu ture. One of the most noted im provements is seen in the Shiver 1 buildirtg; this has been completely over-bauled and under the magic influen1ce of the money of those sue cessfui and energetic Dry Goods merchants, Messrs. Desportes & Edmunds, has been converted into two magnificent commercial rooms of extensive proportions, the corner one occupied by :he firm just named and the other by our long esteemed friend, M. L. Kinard, and filled with the largest, finest and best selected stock of clothing in the city. We have already called on and seen many good friends, whose sterling v,orth has been revealed through a long course of intimate acquaintance, among whom we name the brothers Jackson, E. E. the pill and plaster compounder, and C. J., the leader of low prices in D)ry Goods andl Clothing. We would not torget Mr. W. C. Swaf field; this gentleman now occupies much larper an more comfortable quiartzrs than he did a few month:: back. lie will now take your meas ure and fit you to an elegant suit of clothes in the store lately occu pied by Mr. M. L. Kinard. We are glad to see that he is looking up, and that he is filled with some of that hope alluded to above. He is one of the largest and most popular insurance agents in the city. A little on-dit hatched out in the Secretary of State's office, and which got into the possession of the reliable gcntlcman who gave it tot us is worth the writing andI will prove interesting to the friends of the gentleman to whom itrelates and not unacceptable to the gentleman himself. IIere it is: State Treas urer, Mr. J. P. Richardson, in con nection with others,said in speaking of the work of his office, that Coun ty Trreasuirer M. II. Gary had the best report lhe had received, no othert county excepted. That it was fin ished when it came to 1im. not a change to be made, not a fraction to be returned to Mr. Gary, nor a fraction short. To the p)ride of our County Treasurer we mention this and hope that he will see no cause to be ofP ided at it being made pub lic. The alarm sounded this morning about three o'clock for a third or fourth class fire, which took plzce below the C. & G. depot. and like our late Newberry fire nearly burned out before water could be had, the damage was slight, one negro house. but the alarm was great. The fire system here is p)erfect, and when water can be had a fire seldom makes much head way. We will re- I main here a few (lays in hope of gaining strength, and then we ex pect to visit Charleston for another few days, taking in the meeting of the Press Association and whatever t of innocent "-junketing" be mixed I up with it; and then reader, with a 1 modicum more of strength gained, we will ventuie North and visit Stratford, Conn., going with Mrs. IIurd when she returns home some I time this month. We have written sufficient for this time. Ex-ED. Abouat 40 farms have been recent ly purchased in Green county, Ky., beamigrants from Ohino. AN ORDINANCE!
