For further information address JAMES L. SIMS, Lock Box No, 116, Orangeburg, S. C. Mayor Rhett, of Columbia, has been renomiriated for a third term by the Democrats of that city. "We congratu late the people of Columbia on their good judgment in this matter. They know a good officer when they get him. '?Formerly,? says the New York Sun, "when a member of Congress died, his remains were interred in the Con gressional Cetnetary east of the Capi tol, and ^ plain and inexpensive granite monument was erected over the spot of burial." But that was .before the days of parlor cars with a buffet at on. end. _ Capt B. It. Tillmau says "the far mers" movement in this State is not aimed at the Democratic party; that the farmers who are interested in this movement are Democrats, and will fight their battles inside the party ranks at the primaries and in conven tion, and that If they are whipped they will vote the Democratic ticket and try to be more successful the next time." Mrs. Virginia Thompson, who is making a hard fight for a third term in the Louisville post office is a lady with an exceptional gift for politics. She is remarkable not only for being a daugh ter of Alexander Campbell, the famous preacher, but for strong Republicanism joined to a disposition so' provident of the future that she contributed liberal ly in 1884 to the campaign funds of both parties. The New York Star, the only real leading Democratic paper in the great commercial and political centre, has good hope that the President will pro tect the Constitution and veto the Edu cutional Grab bill if it should pass the House. It will certainly prove Mr Cleveland's opportunity, but whether he is grounded enough in the bed rock principles of Madison, Jefferson, Jack son, Calhoun and Black to use his pow-. er in the endeavor to prevent a great evil we cannot anticipate. One branch of the Signal Service system deserves special encouragement, and Southern people are directly inter ested. It is the proposed < method of predicting and flagging cyclones and tornadoes, and if it can be developed into anything like reasonable certainty new appropriations should be made. The subject is profoundly interesting and valuable, because it is claimed, much property and life may be saved by the service. By all means let us have the tornado signal. A member of the South Carolina delegation says he has information of a syndicate which is being formed in Washington to purcha.se all out stand ing claims against the Government which come within the scope of bills now pending before Congress, provid ing for the payment of captured and abandoned property. A corps of agents will be sent through the Southern States with instructions to buy up all cotton and other claims provided for in the bill mentioned. There are three bills of this character, and it is said that favorable action is likely to be reached on one of them during the present session._. In one of the Norfolk papers is told ?and very properly with high com mendation?the story of a colored man now living in that city, who has dis played an amount of honor in the high est degree ereditable to any man. Pre vious to the war he agreed with his master to purchase his freedom at the price of 81,300. When manumitted by President Lincoln's proclamation he had paid SSOO; but feeling bound by his promise, he has labored all these years to earn the remaining S500, and has just succeeded in paying the last in stalment which makes him "now a freeman, indeed." In conclusion, the Norfolk paper says: "His name, which deserves to be recorded everywhere, is John Billups."_ The Charlotte Observer has been publishing some very interesting ac counts recently, showing the unlimited extravagance of members of Congress and Senators at the expense of the gen eral government. Its latest publica tion is the expenses of the committee appointed to attend the funeral of the late Ifon. II. B. Anthony. They were only gone three days, and to give some instances of expenses in that line, there was :?70.00 spent for telegrams, $80.00 for kid gloves, hotel bill $369.00, amount paid for twenty-lour silk sashes S144.00. These are only a few of the many sums charged up to the govern ment. It is said that the expenses of the f .moral of Senator Miller will not fall far short of twenty thousand dol lars, and all from the pockets of the people. The Labor Trouble. The war, which has been going on for years in the old countries between labor and capitahhas at last,opened up in its most horrid shape at our own doors. Millions of dollars have been locked up, other millions have been criminally destroyed, thousands of laborers have been idle consumers, the law has been openly violated and the courts have been powerless to redress the wrong, perpetrated, the lives of our citizens have been put in jeopardy, the business of whole sections has been paralized and further excesses have been threat ened which if carried into execution will certainly involve our people in deadly strife. Every good citizen, whether capitalist or laborer, deplores not only the present condition of af fairs but looks with horror upon the possibilities of the future; and the ad justment of grievances, whatever they may be, will be hailed with joy through out the whole country. We, therefore read with more than ordinary interest the address of Mr. Powderly, the chief of the order of Knights of Labor, and hope his better and wiser counsel will prevail among the members of that large and powerful organization. The good his policy of arbitration can ac complish is incalculable, and the evil of pursuing the present excesses is pro portionately vast in its results. The tendency in powerful organizations is more in the direction of brute force than in sober reason, and we fear unless wisdom and temperance control the advice here, every department of in dustry, including our farming interest, [ will suffer at the hands of men injudi ciously managed. Loss and suffering in this case must result and anarchy and blood-shed may. Such possibilities are reasonable and lead us to believe that the present trouble in the We3t is no trifling matter and that our people should treat it with the consideration it deserves. Forewarned is forearmed and preparation for a fight is half the battle. Whether arbitration is the proper remedy remains to be seen, it at least argues that wrong exists some where, and the finding of that wrong and its proper adjustment constitute the problem of the hour. The Battle Ended. Xot unexpected, as some think, the contest with President Cleveland end ed last week by the passage of Senator Edmunds' resolutions in the Senate by a strict party vote. The salvation of the Republican party has always de pended upon a perfect organization and a close adherence to party faith, and wherever weakness manifested itself the party lash has been most vigorously applied to bring the traitors back to duty. In this contest the old method was the final resort and all such men as Senator Hoar and a half-dozen others, who have been silent and by that silence led the public to believe that they were opposed to the contest, have been made to realize that greater power rests in a party mandate than in the law, the constitution or the wel fare of the country at large. They have been literally driven at the end of the lash to vote for a measure their better judgment could nor, approve. There, was not enough of patriotism or manhood in their composition to make I a firm stand for right and honor a pos sible thing. While we pity this exhibi tion of human weakness, we dispise the corrupting influences which made the degradation a humiliating reality. This vote, however, decides no ques tion, gives advantage ground to no body and does not change the position of the President in the smallest particu lar. He will continue to suspend, re move and appoint officers as he thinks best for the public service; the Senato will, we suppose, continue to reject and confirm as the majority think best for the Republican party, and thus we shall go on to the end. Mr. Edmunds will hold the party reins and drive the faithful steeds to the journey's end, ap plying the whip when they are jaded and coaxing when restive. Mr. Blaine, perhaps, may be induced to play the role of attendant in order that he may be in close proximity and to keep him self acquainted with the methods ne cessary for an expert manager. In the mean time the Democrats will hold the offices and see that the country suffers no detriment while the Senate's Majority under Mr. Edmunds carries the party to deeper depths of shame. Wake Up ! The meeting of the corporators of the Orangeburg and Lewicdale Rail road at this place last Tuesday was quite enthusastic, and encourages the friends of this enterprise to hopo that at no distant day work will be com menced oil the proposed road. The building of this road is a matter of vital importance to the town of Orange burg and our citizens should take a lively interest in it. Blackville is mov ing for a road in the direction of Lewie dale, and if Orangeburg does not do her duty, we have no doubt but that our Lexington friends will find a ter minus for their road at that place, as we learn that our Blackville neighbors are willing to raise quite a sum for the purpose of securing the connection, so Orangeburg must wake up and go to work, if she wants to retain the trade of one of the richest sections of the County. _ The Philadelphia Times believes that Mr. Edmunds now knows how the hen felt that sat for a month on china eggs. _ v ? To Correct a Wrong Impression. "The Orangeburg Agricultural So ciety, by a vote of sixteen to twelve, adopted a resolution favoring the holding of a county Convention to send delegates to the proposed State conven tion of farmers. A resolution 'that this societv does not favor or sympa thize with Mr. Tillman's proposed Far mer's Convention,' was adopted by a vote of seventeen to three."?Orange burg Times and Democrat. From the Edgefield Advertiser we clip the following: "The above extract has gone the rounds of the press, and tc eorrect the same and the false impres sion that may be, or may have been already, created as to public opinion in Orangeburg County, we publish the following letter addressed to Capt. Ben Tillman, from a prominent gentleman of that County, who was himself a member of the Agricultural Society: Orangeburg, March 6,1886. Mr. B. R. Tillman, Hamburg. Dear Sir:?Your favor of 2d is at hand, together with pamphlets advised for which I thank you, a description oi Gen. Lee's College being what I most desired to read. On receipt of youi previous letter, I promptly visited some of our leading planters, (several of whom heard your speech at Bennett v?le>and after a careful review of all your published articles, taken in con junction with that speech, we were forced to the conclusion, that your po sition was in antagonism with the en tire State Administration and could not be endorsed by. a conservative spirit. Under these circumstances we decided to lay the matter before our Agricultural Society without comment and the reported discussion that ensued is an unreliable and feeble version of the sentiments expressed. The fact was plainly dsvoloped that such a col lege was earnestly desired, but many like myself were skeptical of the plan by which it was to be secured. Since our meeting the sentiment of the mass of producers outside of the society has been freely expressed, and if a county convention was held to-morrow it would enthusiastically endorse your plan. Call your convention and this county will come. Yours truly, "We have no idea who wrote the above letter, but we hardly think that the members of the Agricultural Society will bear out the assertion it contains that "the reported discussion that en sued is an unreliable and feeble version of the sentiments expressed." Our re porter tried to report the meetiug as fully as the space at his command would permit, and that he did his duty fairly and truthfully, we have no doubt. Our columns are open to this corres pondent to show wherein "the report ed discussion that ensued is an unrelia ble and feeble version of the sentiments expressed." The action of the Society may not have been what this corres pondent desired, but the cold facts are that it did exactly what is reported above, and this correspondent or no one else cannot deny it or disprove it. The Revival Meetings. The revival meetings conducted by Messrs. Moody and Sankey at the Agri cultural Hall in Charleston steadily grew in interest until they left that city for Columbia on Monday morning last. We were fortunate in being able to attend these services on Saturday and Sunday, and we bear testimony to the great work done by these earnest and consecrated gentlemen in the few days appointed for them. There was a deep current of religious feeling pervading the entire congregation assembled on each occasion and particularly was this noticeable among the younger portion, especially the students of schools and cadets of theMilitary Academy. There was no excitement such as is often ob jected to on such occasion, but the gos pel, presented as only Mr. Moody and others of his character can present it, was doing a great work by appealing to the honest convictions and sober rea son of the people. Ministers and lay men from every portion of this State and Georgia were in attendance and we do hope that these persons imbibed much of the spirit and sentiment of this meeting, so that they may scatter their influence in every portion of the State. The preaching of Mr. Moody and the singing of Mr. Sankey cannot fail to reach the hearts and consciences of their audience and result in bless ings to every one. Jay Gould was asked last week if the Missouri Pacific company might sub mit to a compromise, rather than pro long the contest. He replied: "There can be no compromise; I am bound to light this question to the bitter end. I have asked the opinion of Judge Dillon as to our legal rights. He says: "The company has a legal remedy against the Knights of Labor in suits for dama ges." We shall sue members of the or ganization, and the papers in the case are being prepared. We propose to recover damages from every member who has any property." The victims of the lottery habit ought to get an eye opener from the fact brought out by the death at New Orleans of an eight millionaire who owned SGOO.OOO of the stock of the Lou isiana lottery, which paid him 850,000 annually. The officers and stockhol ders of these concerns never take any chances. "BiCULAXD," in the Augusta Chron icle.has got things rather mixed. He says that Mr. Jennings W. Perry will oppose Mr. Dibble for Congress. Mr. Perry is not the solicitor of that cir cuit, but Col. Perry Murphy is, and we suppose, "Bichland" got the two gentlemen mixed up. The fund for Mrs. Hancock has now reached about 850,000. i Trip to Orangebarg. Koger Township, S. C, March 23.1886.. Verily we -ive in a fast age. Your correspondent left home on yesterday at 5 a. m., reached George's in time to mount the 8 o'clock train after obtain ing a return ticket for Orangeburg from the faithful agent. Mr. C. Gavin. The cars make much better time than formerly. No stopping at stations and fooling on the way, to detain the way -worn travelers. Made the trip to "Orangeburg in about two hours. Great improvement! Upon descending from the cars heard the cry: Edisto House ? Orangeburg Hotel? "What is the fare?" Nothing, sir; get in, sir, said the cabman. Improvement again, thought I. Entered the cab, enjoyed a free ride up to the Orangeburg Hotel, kept by Mr. Fairey and his kind wife, a daugh ter of Uncle Billy Dukes; and, in brief, I may say that whoever stops here will soon be "convinced by the good living that there is improvement in the hotel business ?jso. Went to the office of that Prince of attorneys, Gen. James Izlar, told him that I had come to seek his counsel, not to get the advantage of somebody, but to help me to do unto others as I would be done by. This announcement seem ed to put new life in the attorney, and we went to work in earnest, tsearching for papers, &c. And, as always, when men go to. work in the fear of God, found our records and some money where we did not expect it. Repaired to the office of Judge Pro bate Izlar, satisfied his mind and was delighted to meet his venerable father, the friend of my own father of former years. Made a short visit to the grave of my father and brother, across the street from the Court House, in rear, of the church, and oh! how memories of boy hood days crowded upon my mind and heart. "Yet there Is mercy in every place, And mercy's encouraging thought Gives even affliction a grace, And reconciles man to his lot." It was a cheering comfort as I wend ed my way from this mournful spot to meet, at every step, the descendants of my father's cotemporaries, and the bosom friends of my brother. Here were the Salleys, McMicheals, Izlars, Dantzlers, Glovers, Dibbles, Andrews, Fredericks, Dukes, and when I return ed to the depot, who should I find as agent but one of the ancient chivalry of S. C, Postell, a grandson of the sil ver-tongued orator, James Postell, of precious memory with our fathers.? W. M. S. in St. George's News. Au Unknown Snug. - We seem to have been steered against an unknown snag, by an unknown per son and in an unknown way. In the last number of The Orangeburg Times and Democrat there is a string of questions in the shape of a com munication signed "Paysan." As well as we can understand these questions, they are intended to show that every body in this State except the interlocu tor is profoundly ignorant of the tariff. To our great astonishment and be-* wilderment we find the last two to be? "Can 'level headed brother Williams of the Greenville News' define free trade ? "Does 'level headed brother Wil liams of the Greenville News' know that when seventy staunch free traders tackle the average Congressman they are not tackling a very 'bior potato?' We do not know what we have done to "Paysan;" neither do we understand the why or whereof of his allusions to the editor of the News, or exactly the meaning of the adjective?supposed to be descriptive?applied to that in dividual. But we suppose he wants answers, and therefore venture : Question 1.?Yes. Question 2.?Depends a good deal on who the seventy staunch free traders are; likewise on what an average Con gressman is. We should think any seventy staunch free traders could go down ihto the black district and tackle Smalls very successfully and credi tably?Greenville News. "Thoughtful" People. The News and Courier, in speaking of the passage of the Blair bill by the Senate, says: "This will bo gratifying news to the thoughtful people of the entire coun try and particularly to the people of the Southern States." It is to be inferred, therefore, that those who are opposed to the Blair bill, including Senators Butler, Cockrell, Coke, Maxey, Harris and Representa tives Aiken, Tillman and Dargan, are not "thoughtful" people. It strikes us that if our esteemed cotempoary were more "thoughtful" himself, he would be less intolerant. Did it ever occur to him that "thoughtful" people do not all think alike? By the News and Courier's standard, Congressman Smalls is a more thought ful person than Senator Butler.?New berry Observer. A Miserable Fate. On Monday morning Mr. J. Burton Smith brought his grown s?n.to Spar tanburg to have him committed to the lunatic asylum. In last September an earwig entered his ear; he suffered ex cruciating torture. His head became so swollen that it burst at the tempi?. Twelve days ago pressure upon his neck forced the putrid little viper from his ear. But his sufferings have been so intense that his intellect is gone? his mind is a blank.?Spartanburg Her ald. Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, has sent to the governors of the New York hospital a check for 85,000?the amount of his first year's salary as representative in Congress from the ninth district. This donation is to be" used in endowing a permanent bed in the hospital for sick and disabled newspaper workers. The Congressional Committee on Agriculture will make a small appro priation for continuing the tea farm at Suinmerville. Commissioner Coleman was opposed to any appropriation for the purpose, but friends of the tea farm urged the matter before the committee so earnestly that a small sum will be recommended. Local option is creating a great deal of excitement in Richmond, Va. A petition with 5,000 signatures was gotten up on Monday petitioning the judge of the Hustings court to order an election on the question.
