A call has been issued for an indus
trial Congress to meet in Chicago, May ]
21, to take into consideration the fact !
that while the nation has vast undeveloped
resources and opportunities
for raising nearly every product it
needs, it does not; but annually im- ,
^Vl IC V/* uviiutsP v* ^tvuuvw j I
which coald and ought to be raised'
here as cheaply as anywhere else. The i
main idea of the convention, therefore, (
is that this country should be made
as nearly self-supporting as possible,
and not dependent on other lands. <
The address calls attention to our j
uneven and unbalanced industrial con- j
difcion, and as an example it refers to \
the auomaly that America now pur- j
chases $100,000 of sugar annually from .
slave-holding Cuba, which can be <
profitably produced at home from <
cane, sorghum and beet. Among the j
industries that will be represented at <
this convention are sugar, flax, ramie,
hemp, jute, etc. The wool growers of j
the country who had arranged to hold ]
a meeting in Chicago somewhat earlier ]
will postpone it a few weeks, so as to <
assemble at the same time as this in- j
dust rial Congress; and will thus add j
to its strength and influence. i
"What," said a correspondent of the !
Atlanta Constitution to Sam. J. Tilden ]
a few days ago, "do ycu think should (
be the leading issue of the Democratic
part#-iu the coming campaign?" ana
his answer promptly given is - "Reform
Now, does it not seem super- "
flaons to say that the American peo- <
pie are tired of this evasion? They 1
have voted against it repeatedly, and ]
nothing bnt the most amazing atnpidi- <
ty can fail to se# that it is ue go. An j
answer in general terms to a specific, i
inquiry is no new dodge, it is as old as ]
the hills, and will not even impose on ]
the school-boy. Eefoim?there is an i
infinite variety of opinion as to what is 1
comprehended under the term. It is <
necessary to go into particulars. The i
National Convention of the Democrat- i
ic party meets at an early day; the 1
people at large have come to attach <
much meaning to the "platform" 1
which it is customary to adopt on snch <
occasions. Let it be plain. Let it in- ?
dicaie upon what particular subjects
legislation is to be expected, what par- 1
ticular abuses arc to be reformed, and j
then the voter may be expected to ,
know upon what grouuds the demand 1
fear a change of rulers is based. - ; 1

njan who respects law or order to live. ,
Doubtless young man Cash will escape <

through the tenderness of .the court ]
which tries him, and tbeu the two. j
ought to set up a government of their \
own and assert their authority with (
pistol and bowie-knife from one end of j
the State to the other." - The Neios V,
a lid Courier makes the following apt j
and .vigorous reply: "There is more'
crime, and more unpunished crime, in j
the North than in the South, and, if i
"the two" of whom the Gh'apkic \
speaks wanted to set up a little government
of their own, they wonld find ]
Long Island a more congenial field (
than South Carolina. There is as much <
law and order in this State a$ there is j
in New York, despite, the occasional '
use of the pistol. There 19 evidence of 1
this in the zeal and energy with which '
the State authorities took up the Cash ]
matter. More could not have been ]

Tiie Washington correspondent of ]
the Baltimore Sun tells Secretary J
FolgeFs social eccentricities, and how :
they Are received among prominent l
politicians and society folk at the na- 1

criticism by reason of the comparative- 1

announce their presence to~ the Secretary.
A day or two since a prominent
politician from New York, whose ^
name has always been an open sesame
to the closet of any official, was stopped
at the door of the Secretary's office
with the information that the Secretary
was not receiving visitors at that hour.
He gave his name with a smile, expecting
to be at once bowed in, but was 1
thunderstruck to find himself still de^ 1

THE STATE COXVEXTIOX.
Pursuant to a call by the State Democratic
Executive Committee the State
Democratic Convention will meet in
Columbia on Thursday, the twentysixth
of June next. Under the present
apportionment each county will
have twice as many delegates as it has
Senators and Representatives in the
General Assembly. The Convention
is'foiled for tBfe pnrpose bf nominating
electors for; Resident amfYice-Presilop
represent ^ the State
Democracy In^the ^National Conven
tion at Chicago, the nomination 01
Governor, Lieutenant-Governor and
the otheristafe officers, and a new Executive
Committee. ' I
In view of the work "before the Contention,*
the deliberations and action
will be of great concern and importance
not only to the party, but to the
commonwealth at large. The Convention
when it assembles mnst decide
apon the expediency or good policy of
making State nominations in June, or
postponing until later :n the summer.
We believe that it is Me judgment of
the Democracy throughout the State
that the entire work of nominating
candidates for the various offices. Fed
eral and State, should be gone through
with in June, and by so doing avoid
the expense and trouble of calling a
second Convention.
A little thought upon the subject
will convince the majority of intelligent
Democratic votersthat the party
interests dictate the line of policy above
indicated, and we have no doubt but
that it will be so adjudged by the approaching
Convention. Certainly- no
arreat or serious harm can possibly result
from niacins the standard-bearers *
3f the party early before the people,
and permit them the privilege of canpassing
as thoroughly as they may
wish their qualifications for the offices
for which they may respectively be
placed in nomination. The connty
Democracies cannotbe too careful in the
selection of their'representatives to the
State Convention. Let Fairfield connty
see to it, that her best and strongest
men, men who will properly representthe
convictions of the voters upon the
issues of tbe day, are elected to re present
tie county"and her interest at. the
Capital in June. ~
CABMSLE OIK THE TABIFF.
At a recent meetiug of the New
Fork Free Trade Club, in New York
lity, Speaker Carlisle, in response to
Jie toast "Onr Federal Union," placed
himself squarely upon the record as an
jarnest advocate for a substantial reform
of the tariff. Mr. Carlisle was
toe special guest of the club and the
real, lion of the evening. The promi- .
aence thus accorded him was doubtless
' i J.J r 1.L -r
.meuueu lor. ukj purpose ui eumuug
irom faim a public utterance upon the
p*eat living issue of free trade. Much
ivas expected, and the enthusiasm
svith which his deliverances upon the
tariff were received, is evidence sufficient
of the profound impression made
ipon his intelligent and cultured audi- .
?nce. Introductory to his eloquent .
iud logical address, he said:
Certainly I shall not attempt to do.
more than" call your attention very
briefly to one or two of the most conjrvinnAno
ft /Itto nfo /*nf AAn^AituA/) tir?An'
ipivuvu'j auvaiiut^ wiucuw u^vu
ihe American people by the nnion established
in 1789. The peaceable and '
jrolnntary formation of that union tinier
the Constitution which made such
radical ctianges'ln the relations "previously
existing between the several
States themselves and between them
wid the General Government was nn3onbtediy
one of the greatest political
ichievements of modern times. It is
Jifficfllt to say which is more entitled
to our admiration; the statesmanship
if men who framed the Constitntion
:>r the patriotism and intelligence of
the people of the several States who
ratified it and made it for themselves
md their posterity the supreme law of
;he land. It is, I think, safe to assert
that inno other part of the world could
>nch a fundamental change have been
peaceably made at that time, and, per-'
baps, gentlemen,-it is equally safe to ,
say that it could not have* been made r
bere twenty or thirty years later.
Speaking of the different Constitutional
provisions of the old Confedera
Lion and of the general Impotence of
ihe existing government, he said:
Each State had the right to lay imposts
and daties subject only to ' the
condition that they shonld not interfere
svith treaties entered into by the United
States in Congress assembled with
foreign Kings, Princes or States,
rhere was no limitation whatever
upon the power of any State to impose
iuues upon the products ot any other
American State brought within its
limits for sale or consumption, for the
purpose of raising revenue or for the
purpose of protecting and encouraging its
own domestic manufactures. The
State of New York had full power to
impose any rate of duty its authorities
might see^proper to establish upon the
products of New Jersey, brought: here
lu search of a market, and New Jersey
possessed the same power in respect to
the products of New York. If the
doctrine of protection is. what its
friends claim, if its application to infant
industries in new States enables
them to overcome natural disadvantages
and secure a higher degree of prosperity
than would be otherwise attainable,
it must be admitted that the arrangement
existing under the confederation
TV V?? *? n AOV VMV UMU Vl w
have been disturbed. Bot, gentlemen,
the framers of the Constitution, the
men who founded this Federal Union,
did not think so. They believed that
free trade, absolute free trade between
the several States was imperatively
demanded by the interests of the people.
Accordingly they adopted thfe
provision as part of the Constitution
without a single dissenting vote: "No
State shall without the consent of Congress
lay imposts or: duties upon imports
or exports, except what may be
absolutely necessary for executing its
inspection laws, and the net proceeds
of all duties and imposts levied by any
State on imports or exports shall be
tor the use of the treasury of the United; States,
and all such laws shall be sul>
iect to revision and control by Con;
stress." .
Upon the new order of things under
the present Constitution and. of the
effects upon the industries of the conntrv,
he said:
Thus;free trade was established by.
the Constitution, not only between the
States then existing, but between all
States that might thereafter exist as
members of the Federal Union. And
[ venture to believe, my friends, that
?o most ardent advocate-of the pro=
:ective system will -admit that the
svonderfdl growth and' 'prosperity 0f
ihis conntry since 1790 are attributable
largely to this provision?more largely :
;han to any other one thing. With :
free commercial intercourse between i
;he States, our internal commerce has i
>teadily and rapidly grown until it: <
imonnts to thonsands of millions of '
lollars annually. More than one hun- <
ired and twenty thousand miles of 1
ailroad have been constructed over ]
vhich almost innumerable trains are 1
- a 3

and other articles of commerce

great wat^Nroys'!are.^crowded" with
steamers and barges, and "other craft
laden with the procfacts of every part
of the Union; The markets of New
York areas free as the markets of
Philadelphia^- the iron and steel and
coal of Pennsylvania, "as free as the
markets of Savannah, or Mobile, or
Charleston forcotton and the fruits of
the South. What a ditterent picture
this country presents from ,what if
would have presented if the policjt,ot
restriction and protection had prevail
ed among'the States as it lias prevailed
for so many years between the United
States and "foreign nations! Under the
liberal policy established by the Constitution,
our means of internal communication
and transportation have increased
and are still increasing, while
under the restrictive and obstructive
policy of Congress our merchant ma,
rine, once a source of pride and profit?
Vino alinncf /Hc?irvnAarA<1 frfim flio
and unless something oan be done to
arrest its further decline, it will disappear'entirelv.
Free commercial intercourse
between the States has encouraged
trade, promoted the development
of our natural resources, fostered
agriculture and manufactures, and
added untold millions to the wealth of
the people, while the protective system
maintained by Congressional legislation
has, to a" large extent at least,
shut us out from the markets of > the
outside world, limited production srrt>-i

and in many cases actually
arrested the farther development of
great iudastrial interests. Under this
system when any highly protected
manufacturing industry has reached n
stage of development which enables it
to sapply the home demand, its growth
must virtually ccasc, because its produce
can have access to 110 other markets.
The Speaker referred to the provision
in the Constitution which expressly
delegates to Congress the power to
levy and collect taxes, duties, imposts
and excises to pay debts, and to pro-.
vide for the common defence and
general welfare, contending with power
and effect that the Constitutional
grant simply authorized such for public
purposes. He said:
It is the greatest of abases to employ
the power of taxation thus granted for
private instead of public purposes. A1
tax imposed by public authority to
foster a private interest, therefore, is
not a legitimate use of the power of
taxation, but' simply spoliation. * *

proceed carefully and conservatively

step to the large interests involved. In
other words, t am infavor'of reformation,
not revolution. . [Cheers.] But,
Mr. President, this process of reformation
must go on until the . power of
taxation is used only for proper purposes.
[Cheers.] There must be no
step backwards. [Cheers.] Nor any
deviation from correct principle and
sound policy. As I have already
briefly intimated this Federal Union is
a commercial as well, as a political one
?politically we.are free, commercially
we are not." * ? * * For myself,

The above extracts from the address
of Mr. Carlisle are clcar, pointed and
unequivocal, and will certainly suffice
to place the Speaker and his party fair?
ly before the country.7
Messrs. Editors: I have just read
the communication from our friend in
Texas, Mr. S. "W. Jackson, in The
News and Herald, and as he has come
to light again and given us an idea of
the climate, etc., of his western home,
I will endeavor to give your readers a
brief description of this part of the
moral vineyard, though I am sorry I
cannot 'present a more attractive picture
of our town and its surroundings
than at present meets the eye of the
beholder.
The past winter has been one of the
severest ever experienced in this part
of the country. The old year closed
with fearfully cold weather, and 011 the
7th of January there was a heavy fall
nf snow and sleet, and from that time
one heavy rain succeeded another,
causing a general overflow of all the
low lands and. making the roads in
places almost totally impassable. The
leading topic of conversation here, for
more than two months, has been thfc
cold weather, the bad roads, and the
high water. The railroad between
this place and Pine Bluff was over-,
flowed so that for a whole week the
trains could not pass over, and the
mail' had to be transferred in skiffs.
But at last, though the raiu has not
entirely ceased, we lmve occasional
days of sunshine, and everything is
f/\ IaaI* mni'O . Thn
W 1VVR 4UVIV VUVVilUi.
farmers, though badly behind with
their work, on acconnt of the bad
weather, are in high spirits, anticipating
favorable seasons and an abundant
yield , of their farms the present year,
and according to the signs of onr ancestors
their expectations are likely to
be fully realized. These people certainly
have .many advantages ever
their eastern friends; land is cheaper,
timber is plentiful, and above all, the
soil is fertile, yielding its abundance
unaided by the use of compost or commercial
fertilizer. Cattle, too, are
plentiful here, and not. like they are in
Fairfield, confined to small aud sometimes
scanty pastures, they are allowed
to graze at will, in herds large and
small, over hundreds and thousands
of acres of woodland, which in summer
affords a most excellent pasture.
Ilogs also do well, and they are annually
made fat upon the acorna of the
forest. Nearly all kinds of vegetables
and fruits that belong to this climate
grow 10 periecuon nere, una la&ing
everything into consideration Southeastern
Arkansas is a first-rate place to
live. True there are- a great many
poor people here, and hundreds of
mortgages executed by the poor
class Qf families in order to obtain
supplies are annually filed in the
clerk's office of our town; but this is
the fault of individuals and not of the
couniry, for there is no just reason
why every one- should not make a
competent and independent living
here.
Monti cello is a flourishing town with
about twelve hundred inhabitants. It
is pleasantly situated, just forty miles
from the Mississippi, and right on the
line of the L. M. R. & T. R. R., with
the rich bottom lands of several bayous
on the north and east," and the fertile
?alleyof the Saline River on the west,
she is destined to become one of the
leading cities of the State. There is a
proposed -railroad now on foot fro-m
New Orleans along the Mississippi
V
Valley, through this place and on to
the northwest, which if completed,
will "greatly increase the value of
property, swell the number of inhabitants,
"developc the resources" of the
coobtry and extend the trade of our
town. In point of moral, social and
edacational advantages. Montxcello'
can compete with any town of its size
I have ever seen. " There are three
churches in town?Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian?the members of
TO-hTrh <ind thnir nastors all coiucide
and labor together in promoting the
glorious' and common cause in which
they are engaged. And there" is a
high school here, where between three
and four hundred pupils, male aud
female, large and small, are daily instructed
by a corps of proficient teachers.
We have also a live county paper,
published weekly, and numerous other
enterprises that go to show that these
people are up with the times and are
moving on with the tide of progress.

allow me to say that the arrival of
The News and Herald at this office
every Monday evening is indeed a
pleasure to me. The distance intervening
between here and my home of

OUT OF THE JAW'S OP DEATH.
The gentleman who outlines his case
below is a man considerably advanced in
, life, and is noted for his sterling integrity,
llis postoffice is Yatesville, Upson county,
Ga. The following is
if R.JOHN PEARSON'S STATEMENT.
In the spring of 18821 was attacked with
a very bad cough, which continued' to
grow worse, until fail, when I got so weak
that I could not get about. I tried a great
many kinds of medicine but continued to
irrnw u-nrcp T wm notified that I had
consumption and would probably die. Dr.
-Holloway finally told me to try- Brewer's
Lung Restorer. They sent to Ward's Store
and got a.bottle and I commenced taking
-ifc-rigbt away. After taking two or three
doses, I began to improve, and by the time
I had used up one bottle I was able to get
on my feet again. I am now in excellent
health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer
saved my life and my neighbors are
of the same opinion. It is the Dest Lung
Remedy ever made in my opinion. Dr.
H. promised me that he would write to the
manufacturers and tell them of the won
aenui cure n juaue m my u?k>c.
Statement of Mr. BeDj. F. Heamdoiu
Early in November, 1881, while sewing
on the machine, my wife was taken with a
severe pain in her side, which was soon
followed by hemorrhages, from her longs
and a severe cough. Fever commenced,,
she could neither eat nor sleep, and in a few
weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
The attending physician told me that he
thought one of ner lungs was entirely gone.
She could not retain the most aeiicate
nourishment on her stomach. I then
agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician,
to call Dr. Holloway in consultation.
They made a final examination of the
patient and pronounced the case hopeless.
Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's
Lung Restorer as a last resort I sent for a
bottle and gave her a dose. I found that
she could retain it on her stomach and
after about the third dose, I began to
notice some improvement in her condition.
I continued the medicine regularly, ana oy
the time she had- taken two bottles, she
was able to walk about the house. She fe
now in better health than she has enjoyed
for several years. I believe that Lung
Restorer saved her life. We have a family
of. six children, some of them gro\m."
Mr. Herndon's postoffice is YatesviHe,
Upson county, Ga. He is a thoroughly
reliable man in every particular.

We have moved into our Mew Store at

masons, carpenters and painters for ^five
months, on account of delays in their
work, they have concluded to let ua in, and
here we are on the other side of the bakery,
two doors north of the store we formerly
occupied, and from whence we hare sent
out so many fine goods.
If fortune continues to favor us we will
send out more and finer goods from this
nice new store. We want all our old customers,
and many new ones, to come and
see us in our new quarters, and admire our
wares amid tlieir beautiful surroundings.
If you don't buy we won't get mad, but if
you do we will be glad. We intend to
keep trying until we succeed in showing

We will carefully repair all Watches,
