THE SAMGTi MM wth, (Destroyed by ;Eire iDecetubef lotli. 1890 Ite-EstcblwbeU February l;Wb, 1891. W. D. Editor. DARLINGTON, S. C. Wednesday, April 8th, 1891. The latest dispatches indicate that the firey Italians have cooled down very considerably, and are now dis posed to listen to reason, and abide the action of the law. Uncle Sam is a pretty good natured old fellow, but if he once get mad he is mighty apt ,to hurt sombody before he cools (down. Dr. Stokes, the President of the •State Alliance, was in onr town on ■Thursday to attend the meeting of the County Alliance, but the weath er was so terribly bad that the meet ing wiiS rather slimly attended. It was a matter of great regret that the jileasur" of his visit was so much .marred by the weather, but he has .promised, if possible, to return in the Summer and see some of Darling- don’s brag cotton crops. The Doctor is a clever grnial gentleman and an able exponent of the principles of the Alliance. In replying to the savage attacks of Col. Keitt he very signally illustrated his ability and .conservatism. He is a little dispos ed to put Orangeburg at the head of the list as a fanning county, and of .course they have a great deal of fine land, but the Doctor has never been in the Pee Dee section during crop time, so we will have to wait for the opportunity of convincing him that the Pee Dee runs through a finer .country than the Edisto. ested in their oftentimes absurd alter cations; when if the truth were known the readers of their papers would vastly prefer never reading a line in the way of a personal equable. There is no reason why public ques tions cannot ty* dismissed, in an im personal way, and if every editor could rise to this heighth, our papers would be far more interesting, and what is far better exercise a great deal Hfbre influence on their readers. Oftentimes it happens that what would beanableandconvincing arti cle, almost cfltfflffy neutralized by its descent into personalities. Whatever of excellence my exist in the journal ism of the present day, it is certain ly, to a great extent at least, lacking in dignity, and until there is a very manifest improvement in this respect, the newspapers will scarcely rise above the attitude of some of our professional politicians, whose whole principal weapons are abuse and slander. Dr. John A. ■The Completion of the C. 8. & N. Road will, from a commercial stand point; annex Marlboro county to the balance of the State, and affords a line opportunity for Charleston to .enlarge her trade with Eastern South (Carolina. There will be competing lines, and of course this will reduce freight rates, and give our Seaport (City a very great advantage over her rivals. Charleston has often, and .with considerable justice, been ae- ,cused of a lack of enterprise, but she now has an opportunity of disprov ing this charge, by putting forth her best efforts to secure the trade of the ,inost prosperous section of the State. Marlboro is one of the richest coun- -ties in South Carolina, and its trade ■will be worth a great deal to the place that secures it. At the present bay, owing to so much active com- petion, the only way for business men to succeed is to make tie ir busi ness known. Let Charleston act on this suggestion, send out your drum mers, advertise freely in the papers published in this part of the State, and rest assured of an abundant re turn in the wav of increased business. I IMPRACTICABLE AND UNWISE. The farmers of Richland County have unanimously adopted a resolu tion, which practically is equivilent to a boycott of Northern made goods, pleging themselvs to use only goods of Southern manufacture. We strongly believe in doing everything to foster and develop all tke resour ces, manufacturing and all other en terprises, but this is hardly a good way to go about it, from the fact that only the coaser grades of goods are, as yet, manufactured in the South; and for a time, at least, we must depend on the Northern fac tories for onr fine goods. Resides this it must be admitted that it is to the interest of the South to establish cordial and close relations with the North. This we can do without the least sacrifice of dignity or self res pect. There is, at the North, a very large amount of accumulated capital, a great deal of which is now lying idle and seeking safe investments. We need money to develop our re sources, and ought to use every en deavor to bring at least a part of this money into our midst; but in order to do this, we must make it perfectly plain that the money will be safe, and have all the protection that wise laws and conservative public opinion can give it. Resolutions of this kind will be sure to produce a feeling of antagonism, and if for no other rea son would be unwise on this account alone. We want to attract settlers from the North and West, but we must bring them by reason and per suasion and not attempt, coercion. Differ as we may politically, we arc- one country, and it is neither wise < r patriotic to take any action that will engender sectional animosity. It we boycott the North in a business way, it would be but natural for the Northern people to immagine that we would ojfracise them socially as well. There is plenty of legitimate work for us to do without interfering with the laws of trade, for it is pret ty sure that attempts of this kind result in fa'lure. The Southern far mer is infinitely better off than his Northern or Wes era brother, and his pros; e:ts are infinitely better for the future.

It is very probable that if Italy is foolish enough to go to war about the New Orleans lynching, her fleet could do a great deal of damage to our Seacoust cities, but at the same time if anybody expects Uncle Sam to show the white feather about the matter, they make a mighty big mis take. If Italy were to take advan tage of having a powerful fleet to bombard any of our cities, it would jif the end be a very costly piece of spite on the part of that Nation; for ihn United States would be sure to retaliate, and when she struck back the blow would fall with crushing force. It might be ten years off, but some time in the future a fleet sail ing under thc Stars and Stripes, and representing the power and resources of this great Anglo Saxon Nation, would bear down on the Coasts of Italy and t.-ach her a lesson site would not soon forget It is the sincere desire of our people to live at peace with all the World, but if war must come, there am five million men in the Unitei States ready to uphold the honor of their country.
