/ Sm all Chance for a Fiqbt.?The legal
advUers of the Liquor Dcalors' Association
hare given the following advice to their
cUea<s:
1. yfe advise your committee, and through
you your associates, to prepare to meet the
ataUUwas va'id and constitutional, and that
oa and after the 1st of July, 1893, it will be
enforced.
2. In view of the heavy penalties and
puniMBent prescribed by the statute, we
oaanal*vlse you t? continue silling older
the July, 1893, but, on the contrary.
f \ ailiWvu to comply with the terms of the
atatme until it has first been adjudged invalid.
3. To test .the question of the constitutionality
of t'he statute on the point of
Federal prohibition or discrimination, we
advise that proper proceedings be taken to
test the question, but that pending such proceedings
and the determination thereof tho
provisions of the Act be carefully observed.
The statute, so far as we can see, can only
^pbe tested after the 1st of|July, 1893, by
Hhe attempt of the State or any of its officers
. to seize and sell liquors manufactured in
another State and exposed for sale here by
some one who has obtained and holds a lioense
to sell liquors for the whole year.
The sun epiiomir.es tlie auvicc or the counsel
as follows :
The liquor traffic is not a legitimate business.
lu every city and State in the Union
the business is subject to legislative enactment
and police regulation, and against that
there is nothing to d\ We advise the
liquor dealer* of,the state not to spend live
cents iii resisting the law.
" f The result Is. that the law will go into
"i**#?et Unresisted, for the.advice of the counsel
of the a?soci dion was given nfter the
most thorough nnd careful investigation of
the whole matter.
Whether the dispensary system will prove
a blessing or a curse remains yet to be seen.
Its friends and opponents have most positive
and diametrically opposite vieitrs on this
subject. Time will tell which arc right.?

Tiik Tnur.k C's IIaii-roau to ue Completed.?Philadelphia,
Putin., April 7.?It
was learned today that there is a strong
probability of the early completion of the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago railroad.
A syndicate has been formed for that purpose.
nnd a definite offer has lieen made to
the present owners of the company's securities,
chief among whuin arc the Finance
Company of l'eunsylvaoii and the Investment
Company of Philadelphia. The offer
made to the Finance Company was accepted

directors of the Investment Compuiy withiOTtiW
JojjJ. "in? tciitu *4* \>rnuos|*
tioii have not been made public, but it is
said to bo n very favorable oue for the
security holders.
The scheme is understood to include the
formation of a new company to complete the
rood, the capital for this purpose to be furnished
by the snydicate. The securities of
the Three C's will be surrendered by their
present owners, who will receive in return
therefor securities of the new corporation.
Certain guarantee wid, it is stated, be given
to the investment an 1 Finance companies,
and they will be amply secured from all
possibility of loss other than has already
been incurrc i.
The immediate effect of Iho exchange of
securitieb will be the transformation of what
have always been unavailable and almost
valueless assets into an investment which at
least promises future returns. The names
of those who comprise the syndicate have
not been given, but a number of them are

that a gale nlmn d cyclone
in severity is sweeping Soutlierir'jhitfi^

has been done. The wind has in a great
measure prostrated the telegraph wires, and
full reports are not attainable. It is feared
that in remote sections there may have been
loss of life, although so far none has been

The weather has suddenly turned oppressively
hot, and the wind is blowing from the
southwest, the direction in which tornadoes
and cyclones generally originate.
Along the lakes in lower Michigan also
there has been much loss of property.

The Plymouth Hotel, a World's Fair hostelry
at rieventy-second street and Stony

after midnight. The building was one of
the largest of the World's Fair hotels, and
was almost completed. In its fall the building
crushed another structure, which was to

from Morganfield, Ky., says : Geerge H.

a id Frank Holt are under arrest here for
t';e Oliver murder. They claim their innocjnee,
but are positively iden'iiied by Mrs.
Oliver, who caused the warrants to be issued.
T ic men all belong to prominent families,

is subsiding, owing to absence of proof

not far off.

SOT Twenty years ago tomorrow m3m
iog, the loth April, 1873, a severe froel
killed the firuit nod almost every kind o:
vegetation. Even the trees looked as if i

the farmers made good crops of cotton and
corn that year.
IMF" We take the following from a Wash
ington despatch to The State, and havifonTj
tliia to any: IV# I hi ok Attorney' Genera
Townsend^nd Mr. Ira Jones Annw tbei]
"a^Ellinan, well enough to believe that il
J$#ld be only waste of breath and perhaps
dangerous for them to say anything that did
not accord with his view of what law 01
equity is or ought to be. We'll bet a shad
from Cul Caugbmau's tish trap, that Tillmar
did not consult either of them, either btfort
or after he ordered the euit]to l>e instituted :
The fee of J. Randolph Tucker in th<
railroad case is $2,000. Governor Tillmai
paid hitn $<*>00 out of his contingent fund
and will have to pay the balance, $1,500
from the same. Irby told Attorney Genera
TownsenJ and Ira Jones that they weri
afraid to tell Tillman that they knew al
along that they could not win the case.
/p3f~ We really don't see how a town oat
prosper when its business men and citizem
of means, generally, make it a rule 0
send their money to other towns to pur
cba?e what they can buy at home, of tb<
same quality, and if not quite as cheap, ii
cull, is really cheaper when it is considered
thai the money paid at home is spent a
home, and contributes to the profits ant
prosperity of every business in town.
Kvcry month we nre reminded of tliii
injustice and utter want of business tact, by
(he presentation of merchants' bills made
out on billheads printed in Charleston. Columbia
and other cities, for which they pay
spot cash and from which neither themselves
or anyone else in town receives a cent of
benefit. We have offered and still offer to
duplicate any job of ordinary letterpress
printing that the citizens of the town and
county of Union may require, at the same
price that they pay for the same quality of
work and material in Chrlcston, Columbia
or ony other town or city in tliie State.
There ie r.ot much e icourageinent for a
man to hurrah .' for a town and its people,
when lie finds that his honest share of its
business is persistently sent to other towns
to enrich strangers whe do not care a
baubee whe her the town and its people sink
or awim.

Tillman Aeked to Explain.
The quarterly meeting of the Greenville
County Farmers' Alliance was held last
Saturday, at which representative farmera
from every part of the county were present,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
" Whfreaa, it has been stated in the public
pre** that Governor It. R. Tillman had
written a letter te President Cleveland in
which he requested of the President that
certain citizens of this State be not appointed
to any Federal office at. home or abroad
and whereas, the name of the ilon. M. L.
Donaldson, the president of the Farmers'
State Alliance, is reported to have been ono
of those thus blacklisted by Governor Tillman,
be it
"krsolved, by the Greenville County Alliance
in regular quarterly meeting assembled,
that not having seen any denial of said
allege I blacklist, we deem it but just to the
honored president of the State Farmers'
Alliance as well as to the order itself to take
cognizence of the matter and take such steps
as are nceestary to learn from Goveenor
Tillman himself whether tbe public statements
aa to the blacklist referred to be
founded on fact or not.
"Rctolvrd, That a committee of three
members of this County Alliance be eppointed
to communicate with Governor Tillman
and request that he return answer whether
the newspaper reports of- sai l blacklist he
true, and if true to furnish his reasons as
given to President Cleveland for his action towards
M. L- Donaldson, our State president."

The force of hands at work on the exca- e
ration for the foundation aro making fine o
progress. o;
President Duncan is pushing matters with r
his usual energy. The eal/ trouble he finds
is a lack of hands. Did /ou ever hear be- n
fore of the scarcity of hands in Uaian ? j<
Heretofore, one could find as man/ bands as e
he wanted loafing on (he corners and holding <a
dry goods boxes down on Mnin street. ii
Mr. Sharkey is shorine matters on "Fac n
tory Hill." Already he hai nearly half c
(he operatives houses framed. He has a o
large force of carpenters at work, and says d
that by the first of June he will have all the
bouses ready for occupation. Thirty houses
will he built, to begin with. They will be
two stories, with three rooms en each floor.
Mr. T. K. Foster is on the ground, boring Jj
the wells, and not many days will elapse ,
before the wells will be ready. r
Can any one complain now and say that d
Union is dead. We think not. The right
men are at the helm, and we say keep them "
i there. Our prediction new is, Union will J
- henceforth not only be recogoized as one of v
the prettiest and healthiest towns in the 51

Mr. Editor.?With your coDaeml I will
]uo t? bit of verse, which is brimful o
ion nil sense, as well as poetry. It is solid
wisdom, tightly packed, that could not b*
expressed better in volumes.
Let erory one whose eyes may rest on
base lines, both in his or her oonyersation,
>r when pen or pencil is used, deeply drink
Is meaning and profit by it :
When you're got a thing to say,
Say it! Don't take half a day.
When your tale's got 1 tile in it,
Crowd the whole thing in a minute.
Life is ouort?a fleeting vapor?
Don't you fill up se much paper,
With a taie which, at a pinch,
Could be cornered in an inch.
Boil her down until she simmers,
Polish her until she glimmers.
When you've got a thing to say,
Say it! Dont take half a day."

Editors of Traehrrs' Column :
I have just read your article headed
Straws Shows How the Wind Blows," in
pbiph pou justly criticize the present craze
:o change the spelling of so many wards o
>ur grand old Anglo-Saxon derivatives.:
While we admit that the style of our lan
guage should he in accordance with the besl
jpeakprs and writers ; and while the peop'e
of filer Majesty's realms, pattern theii
rheteric after the British Parliament," ye;
may we Americans b? s^red from the Dubai
Lstio tongue of our legislative halt*, or from
the craze of so many would-be reformers ol
>ur atyle. Let the present spelling atu
pronunciation af cur words be changed onlj
by the sanction and recommendation of eu
wisest ond moit thoughtful teachers.
It is almost embirrassing for us of at
older generation tq try to converse with tha
boys and girls from some Qf our preset
high schools and colleges, where the m&uu
for the oriental and modern pronunciation
tins crazed teachers to deform the pronuncl
tioa ef so many of the grand old words givet
Lo us by our parents and teachers. Besides
'.here seems to be no unanimity in tho juno
rations that are male by these modern lin
(uisle, even in our simplest words.
I cannot better illustrate than by copying
Trom a recent number of the Botlon Glob,
liow different onr educated New Englanc

Don't soap them np when thsy ask J?u $ <

a curiosity shop, and then wonder why your ,
"things are not always in order." A gentle (
boy will make a gentleman, and there is no
surer evidence of a boy's character than his
conduct at home.
The Perfect Girl. - '!
,Girls, remember that the perfect woman,
like tbetyerfecrpuqh or the perfect rose, ,
should not be juaged udffby what^he ,
is as for what sbo hopes or aims to beVtjhe (
loves the beautiful, 'the retined and the
artistic, and her wishes and endeavors are ,
ever reaching out to get tbem; and yet her
environment aud fate have placed her with*
in certain wal's beyond which sho cannot
psss, and so her passion for beauty that
might have glowed in painting and lived in
sculptured forms takes on another form and
appeals te the world in blooms of house
plants and in the adornment of her tidy
homes. Musio that might have charmed
listening thousands from the tmmic stage
lulls infancy to sleep ; castles that filled her
girlhood dreams live in needlework on tidies
and aprons, and the uoble prince who wailed
in the courtyard for her ceming now
reigns ber king and lord in the husband
of her choice.
In fact the perfect girl is she who can
make the best of what sne has, and ennoble
the low and common, making them saored
aud laudable. So lor today and in the coming
days the perfect girl must be one who
1 om do all thinge well, who can turn the
churn crank or play the pisno aud harp, or
stand over the steaming wash-tub and crown
her head with the soapy rainbows of the
' Monday's wash. This is the girl that the
r world waDts today. It will want her still
( moro tomorrow, and more and more in years
to como.

A good deal of corn has been plauted and
some is coming up. Most of the wheat and
oats are beginning to need rain. The ground
in many places can't be plowed until it rains.
Cotton plautiug has begun. Thore will be
plenty of fruit this year if no disaster comes
upon it.

Farming and Fires on Pea Eidge.
Pka lit dor, April 10.?After a very severe
winter we are now having as warm and dry
weather as I ever saw at this time of year.
' Nearly all of the farmers on the Ridge are
e ready to plant their cotton seed. Most of
1 them have finished planting corn. I have
s heard of some intending tJ plant part of
the land they prepared f?r cotton in corn.
, There has been more lan I prepared for
( cotton on the Ridge Ibis year than last.
' Nearly every fanner made enough corn to do
| him tjtis year, and let nie say t> my brother
: farmers, plant enough ourn this year to do
' you ne*t. even if you hove to pWnt corn in
. somoofthe land you liaye prepared fop cotton.
! The calculation now is that there wi>l bo nine
' or ten million holes made this yetr. If tlist be
true the price will be lower next fall tban it
is now; and If we can get the same amount
I of money for seven million bales that we
i can get for ten, why do we want to make |
t the three mil-son bales extra!

resolutions Anorrrn bt the state board
or examination on his death.
The followiog resolutions on the death of
tho late Prof. Robert Morrison were adopted
by the State Board of Examiners at its
meeting on Friday night:
Feeling deeply tho great loss that has
befallen the State in tbe death of Prof.
Morrison, we, tbe members of the State
Board of Examiners, of whioh Pref. Morrison
at. the time of his death was a useful
and hooorale member, desire to express to
his family and friends our warmest and
tenderesf sympathy. .
His relations with the board were of the 1
most delightful kind. lie was, indeed, a 9
lovable man, and won the hearts ef these J
associated wiih him. He was but 25 ye?Ts V
old at the time of his death, but had always
held honorable and responsible pos's his '"-v.
cboten line of labor. He left the impress
of his stroug christian character upon the
minds and hearts of his pupils. Hundreds
of boys and girls throughout the State w.|l
remember him with gratitude and Ipve.
He was a moral power in (he communities
where he taught. He was a bold and courageous
thinker. He stood up raanfitlty'fdr ?
temperance, for religion, for pure and lp>Q*
Cft government. He belongs to these mjn
of whom Christ said "Ye %re the salt of thfi
earth." He died with his arh^r on, hattling
for the right. For the two fatherless - ... .
children and their bereaved mother we bespeak
loving sympathy of the people of the
State in which Robert Morrison lived' and
labored and died.
