ELBERT H. A ULL, Proprietors. WM. P. IHOUSEAL, N EWBE RRY. S. C7, TrHURSD)AY, JULY 18, 1M Mr. A A. Uldham, one of the editor ' ial writers of the Charleston World has reAigned his position on that paper to take charge o. a daily at I)uriam, North Carolina. Hadji HLseii ("hooly Khan, th" Persian minister to the U'nited States, has gone back home as fast as he can. He didn't like the way the re porters poked fun at the Shah. I c take the iollowii'g from the Greenville News. There is nothing like making use of our formerly unde veloped resources and the day may not be far distant when we will be able to use the now useless articles mentioned by our contemporary. '1'his isa utilita r!an age: "Augusta is to have a gas factory to utilize the beautiful sand of which there is a deposit in that neighborhood one hundred feet deep extending over an area of some hundreds of square miles. Thus are our resources being developed. We have found uses for our cotton seed, our pine straw, our lowland sand and our upland elay. \\ e may yet find a place for the dude, the yaller dog and the man who owes for a weekly newspaper and then sends it back nark.et 'refused.' The report is again made that Mr. Blaine is to resign his position in the Cabinet, on account of ill health. which leads mu exchange to remark that "Brother Blaine has never in all his career resigned anything that was not too hot for him to hold, and there is no heat about this administration outside the remarks of patriots whose way to the treasury is blocked by hold-overs or personal appointments." We thought at one time that Mr. Blaine would not remain in tho- Cabinet long, but we have about concluded that he is there to stay. It is said he is growing old fist. Possibly the disappointment in the result of the election in 1884 is be ginning to teil on him. To be so near to the presidency and yet so far must be hard for an ambitious man to bear. Yet such is life. (Governor Lowry of M issisippi is making vigorous efforts to have the prize fighters, Sullivan and Xilrain, and all who aided and abetted in the business, arrested. It is a big under taking. ~. tivani was arrested in Ten ness~ee on a telegram from Governor L owry but before the Mississippi authorities could reach there he had been taken before a Judge on a writ of *habeas corpus and was released. It looks like very hasty action and as if they might have been on Sullivan's side. Says:an exchange : "Sullivaa's liasty release without giving the 31is sissippi authorities any chance to sub mit their case was a most extraordinary and flagrant departure from the estab 4i11pratice of holdin~g a prisoner a1 reasonable time. Documentary and oral evidence of his guilt was not re quired. It is a maxim of the lawv, as well as a rule of practice, that courts take cognizance of notori'ous facts. It was a notorious fact that Sullivan had fought a prize fight in 3Mississsppi, that lie had violated the laws of that State," that he was fleeing from its justice. All of this may be true and is true, but 't looks as if the Governor of Miis sissippi has the odds against him. He is right. The lawv has been violated and his eflort to enforce the law is comt mendable. but wve fear lie will be able to do nothing in this particular case. Too large a proportion of the publie un fortunately seems to be on Sullivan's side, and the other part is indififerent. The efforts of Governor Lowry may arouse the thinking people of the country to this brutal business of prize tighting and its demoralizing effects and bring about such a public senti ment against it that efforts to sup)press it in the future and to enforce the law against it will be more effectuail. THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FAlM HOME. We desire to direct attention to an article published elsewhere from the Abbeville Medium on the subject of farm homjes. We do not desire to ap pear to be meddling or to be oftieious, but we do think it is a subject that many of our farmers do not thiink enough about. nor give it the attention it deserves nor that attention they would if they. were to consider prop erly its importance. It is to us a sad fact that many of our farmers do not give thlat attention to the comforts and little conveniences of the fairm homes that could be easily given and that would add so much to their own and their families pleasure. People are constantly deploring the fact that so many of our young mlenl are constantly leaving the farmn and ik>eki ng to the aulready over-crowded citie's and towns. and one of thle main reasons~ for this is. we verily believe, that so mzanyv of the farmn hlomes throughout outr hind have givenu to theni s) little conicern fo'r thle comlfort and convenience of life. The farmers are bent on mnakinig corn1 and cottonI which is 'Suite porp'er, but plenty time and the means could be easily found to improve thle homle. If it were done in mlanyv casee we feel sure the young men wouhd not have such a desire to leave the old hiomnesteaid. Thle cou ntry is attractive and has manyv advantages over the town, and thet life of the termier as a rule is a happy, idepenident one, and we have said this muich in the hope that the famers will think of thbese little comn forts and conveniences muore and( devote some of their spare mioments to' mak ing bomne attractive, so thaut more of our boys wuill be induced to stay upon the farms.

The pay these commissioners amounted $2,450, which was paid from the$50,( appropriated. Next year this expen will not be necessary, as the work the comm111ission has been done. Tl probabilities are that the pension r< will number 2,000 next year, and th number will require an appropriati( of $72,000 to pay each of them $3 p month as is intended. It may be stated that these app. cants have all gone through the mo rigid examination, and none but tl most deserving are on the roll. Mai applications have been refused so as give place to these ones which we adopted. The laws regulating pe sions have been closely observed by ti board in granting the pensions.

Georg:* Ingenuity IeviMes an Automatic Sewing Machine will Save the Fair Sex Fatigue of Either Hand or Foot. [Special to The News and Courier.] AUUSTA, GA, July 1l.-The latest Georgia invention is on exhibition in Augusta to-day at Mr. James U. Jack son's office. It is the Brosius Motor sewing machine, which has no pedals oroutside motor, but runs itself. The machine is worked by a spring motor, which is quickly renewed by a pump handlemovement with the hand, which imparts power to a double spring, which acts on the same principle as a watch spring, and imparts the correct motion to the machine. The speed of the machine is easily controlled and is regulated by the simple touch of a knob, or by the pressure of the foot on a sprinig. The machine was invented by Mr. J. M. 3rosins, of this State, who has or ganized a conipany with a capital stA)ck of 500,000 for the cmanufacture of this new and wonderful motor machine. A plant of fifty acres near Atlanta has been p)urchased, arnd the mnachincery with the capacity of turning out fifty machines a day has already been bought, ancd the new company will comnence the man ufact urincg about the 1st of .January. The manufacture of this automatic machinice will be an exclusively Georgia enterprise, as it wvas invented by a Georgian, antd the mcancufactu rinig comn pany will b a Georgia corporation and the works will be in Georgia material. The machine has beecn patenited both1 in this andl foreign countries and it promises to bie a hconancza for tihe stock holders. Few people wouldl i maginle thatt a machine could be worked withl out either Lice pedals or electric or wva ter mcotors, but now the women will lbe relieved of the labor of operatincg the macinie with their wveary feet, for with this new mnachince all that hlas to be done is to start it off and thuen just sit an gucide the sewing The mlachline is being exhibited here by D)r.

Looking over the geographical art general advantages of Asheville, on cannot but be favorably impressed as t its future. The inprn'vements goin; o in t lie Prect ion of new business housc are very no~tiveal'le, especially mn si and atrclitetctutal attractions. And a iniplre-ssioln is tormted that Asheville i on ti te re:al to a itost wonderful bus ness development. It is a matter of very great surpri, to me to learn how greatly the popul: tion has increased in the last six year Asheville very favorably inpresst thestr:mtger. The scenery, as seen frot every point, is a thing of beauty and joy forever. Magnificent views al seen from the balcony of Swannanc Hotel, with the exception of Batter Park, the finest and largest hotel i Asheville, and here everything is bein done in the way of providing accontn( dations for the traveling public, loe: ted on Main Street, on the line of th Electric Street Railway, it is easil reached, and guests. are conveyed t and from the depot on the arrival every train, five cents each way. Here one will meet summer visitot from far up in Tennessee, Alabaniu Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Text and every State North of Mason an Dixon's line. An earnest effort on tb part of leading citizens is on foot t place Asheville in a thorough sanitar condition, to clean the streets of thei mud and tilth, and introducing a per feet system of drainage. They have a last colie to understand the absolut necessity of this course of action, i they would retain the fame of Ashevill as a health resort. Thousands will b attracted for every hundred who no v isit this city to gaze with delight o: scenery which the world has few supx riors to boast of. The glorious beauty of mountain an sky, as seen frotit Connelly's Viec l3eauniont, Battery Park and Sunst D)rive, are delightfully attracti ve point of interest to the tourist and ever lover of the sublime and beautiful i nat ire, penciled by the Divine Mast Hand. The contemplation of natur as well affords good to the reflectin mind and the undying soul, as those c her productions, appropriate to th support of animal life, afford it to th body, and such without doubt was th intention of the beneficent Creat< when he endowed man with intelle( prepared for its observation and enjoy tent. I gaze on the low horizon's verge, As slowly sinks the sun to rest; His round orb lost in misty surge, Save when a faint gleam warms it btreasft. M. A.
