The Maidens' Mutual Protective

work in practice? The New York
World thinks that it might, in the !
Garden of Eden, but that it will never
do for Xew Jersey. The boycott is in
fact eutirely too sweeping. The smokers,
for instance, ought not to have
been proscribed, ana the billiards also
might have been left out for the time

g. article u> ine iasc numoer 01 iuuivvwi
& American Review, entitled "Trial by
Newspaper." He does not' ky down
the principles of law that should govern
this species of trial, nor does he
indeed throw any great amount of
light on the subject. It is the peculiar ]
work of the press to denounce crime, I
expose the criminal, and demand his |
punishment, and it is as needless as it ?
is nonsensical for the mere sensational-1
ist to raise any howl about it. Of '
course a party merely charged with
crime has rights that the newspapers
and all others must respect, and it is a
presumption of law, too, that such a
one is innocent until his guiit has been j
established. But when indisputable !
rwwf the matter of .crnilt. there !
can be no harm in asking that the law
be vindicated.
Thk plea of guilty which CoL Has-;
kell entered for his railroad company j
before the Commission at Spartan6nrg
a few days ago may be a little surprise
to the unwary, but it will cause no astonishment
to those who have had occasion
to investigate the devices and
methods of railroad companies. All
must agree, however, that it was an
exhibition of matchless cheek. It was
an open admission tbat the railroads do
not intend to respect any rights of the
people, except as they are compelled
to do so by law.. The corporation is a
beneficent institution. It is indeed
impossible to carry on avast business
enterprise without it. "But this "artificial
person," as it is called, must be i
brought within the pale of the law,
and there it must be made to ^tay.

It is now said by some of the newspapers
that the preponderance of the
testimony taken at the South by the
Inter-State Commission favors the continuation
of the suspension of the long
and short haul clausc of the Act. In
point of quantity the testimony may
"preponderate," but when it is examined
from the point of view of its
quality, the preponderance is apt to be
on the other side. The testimony fa- '
voring a continuation of the suspension
of the law is the testimony of rail- ;
road reckers and "terminal point" :
editors. The presumption of honesty ?
is against it. ;
Besides, the people are taking up the '

the law ought to be forthwith discon- j
tinned. j

The sooner this is done, the better for
all parties concerned. The idea that '
the people will tolerate much longer
the criminal practices of the railroads
is chimerical indeed.

The railroad meeting at the Court
House on Wednesday night was large
and enthusiastic, it was evident even
to the casual observer that the call for j
the meeting had struck a popular cord. '
It was unanimously resolved that a
memorial should D3 drafted and laid
before the inter-State commerce com-i
mission praying among other things
that the lav/ be enforced.
The chief virtue of this meeting is
in the example which it basset; this
will be followed by other communities
similarly situated. "The deep, dumb

would have said, will be made known;
and when this is done, when the iniquities
of our present railroad system
have been fully ventilated, then will I
the day of unjust discriminations have
passed away.
And we commend the example of
the citizens of Winnsboro to all other
communities that may he interested
in the great problem with which the
law purports to deal, and we would
urge upon such immediate action.
The law itself has been placed upon j
trial, and it will be fought with every j
weapon that corporate ingenuity and I
wickedness can devise.
Tlie I'nblic Press.
Before the invention of the art of!
printing, the dutv of {disseminating j
public nU"1l:ofcncc was devolved largely
upon the orators; and', hence the
of public speaking was sedulously
cultivated, and was a sure warrant to
public preferment. The "orators"
were the guardians of public virtues,
the incorruptible defenders of the liberties
of the people. In their hands
rested that "weapon of publicity before
which thrones have tottered and parliaments
gone down."
But since the invention of the printing
press the duties of Demosthenes
have been circumscribed; indeed, as a i
public institution, we may say that the
orators have passed away. The public
r?rp>s bo ? the custodians
of public virtue. It is their * proud
function to expose frauds and public
plunderers; they arc the guardians of
the liberties of the people. In the
keeping of a free enlightened and virtuous
press, the liberties of the people
arc safe from the corrupting influences
which usually undermine the
foundation of public virtue.
It must be said, however, for the
ancient institution that while its
capacity was less its virtue was greater
than that of its modern successor.
The orator was always free; he spoke
his honest sentiments; he betrayed
nobody; and this is something more
than can be said for the modern newspaper
which owes its chief support to
the community in which it is published.
The prejudices of its patrons
is frequently too much for the virtue
of the "organ" a-.d then it does what
Demothenes could never have done, it
proves false to its second trust.
The Lav.- of ITIt-rrie'l Women Asain.

should amend the law of married
woman, by stnklag.ani of-jUie Statute
the limiting pbrase^"a9Hto-fier serrate
property" and l<Sive a married woman
where she ought to be?on the same
plain with her husband as regards her
property rights. This is the way the
law "stood before the amendment ef
18S2, and it. was so declared in "Witsell
vs. Charleston.
Theic is no valid reason in the
nature of things why a married woman
should be restricted in the exercise
of dominion over her property,
or her capacity to contract limited to
sach obligations as arc entered: into J
for the benefit of her separate estate.
The legislation of 1382 is reactionary
in its nature; it is a reversion towards
the common law type.
The rule of the old law, absurd as
it appears to us, may have suited the
simplicity of the early ages, when
trade and commerce were undeveloped,
but it is utterly out of place in
this day and generation, nor will any
mcdiacation of it suffice. All artificial
restriction must be removed.
The disabilities imposed upon married
women with regard to their separate
estates arc intended to seen re
sach estates to them against the con-,,
sequences of their own possible subserviency
and the profligacy of their
husbands. It is an attempt 0:1 the
part of the Legislature to take care of
married women. Such laws hinder
the play of natural forces, like prohibition,
they always fail to prohibit.
It is an attempt to do by legislation
what it is impossible for legislation to
accomplish. Such laws should be repealed,
or rather they should never
have been enaciedA
Uniform Divorce
It is becoming more evident each
day that another amendment to the
Constitution of the United States must!
ere long be submitted. The divorce j
laws of the dilTercut States are now so i
uttterly at variance, one with an-:
other, that it has become desirable to j
purchase uniformity at almost any j
price. Given each State with a divorce
law of its own, which will of course
be stamped with the idiosyncracics of
its Legislature, and the complications
that arise are almost beyond definite
calculation.
A woman secures a divorce in iiinn.esoia,
for instance, her husband
secures one in -Sew York fiiR decree!
granted in the former State nothing is
said os to the future marriage, and of
course the woman may consider her
elf at liberty to try it again, but by
he decree rendered in the latter State
the parties will be prohibited from
:ontrcting a second marriage. Suppose
the woman?an estimable lady, if
rou please?marries again, by the laws
Df ^Minnesota her second marriage will
je legal and her children from such
anion legitimate, but by the laws of
S"ew York these same children will be
illegitimate and 'their parents guilty of
bigamy. "Vvhat would be the legal
status of these children in other States
3f the Union it is not easy to deter-I
mine. These difficulties are real and j
in existence right now. They are in- j
deed suggested to us by a case reported ;
in the last issue of the Xew York j
World.
We -can see no objection to an j
amendment lo the Constitution of the i
United States giving Congress power j
to enact a uniform law on the subject
of divorce- This would seem to be
all the more desirable since the fourteenth
amendment has already given
us a national citizenship.
The Question of the Hour.
Speaking of the great conspiracy
which is now being waged by the corporations
and "terminal points" to defeat
the operation of the inter-State
commerce law, Senator Reagan, in a
recent letter, sums up the situation
with his usual pith and vigor. lie
says:
The united and concentrated efforts
of the rhilroad companies, their officers.
attorneys and agents, and of the
newspapers they own and hire, are to
deceive and mislead the inter-State
commission into the suspension and J
nullifying of this great and beneficent j
act of Congress.
Every word of this is literally true.
The purpose has been too plainly manifested
io be mistaken. Indeed, they
have already very nearly succeeded in
scaring the commission into a nullification
of the most important feature ,
of the law before it has been even partially
tried. Each and every one of
its provisions are righteous and just,
and it is upon the great body of the |
people to insist that it be fairly enforced.
As the New York World.
puts it: . J
It may lvc cLu.vn us a fact that, (
wherever any community or enterprise
prot:sts against the enforcement ol the
"long and short haul" provision of the
law, it has heretofore enjoyed advantages
to which it was not entitled, at the
expense of other people. It was to
remedy this unjust discrimination that
the law was passed. And the commission
has no right without giving the j
law a tair trial," to perpetuate this in
justice. mere win uc just a..? uiuuu
manufacturing and production in this
country as the market warrants. Railroad
magnates should not have the
sinthority to say where it shall be done.
Give the people a chance who have
been "frozen out" by discriminating
freight reates.
And as the fame journal says in another
connection: "A great cry of
pain will go up, but the knife of
equality must "cut some time, and it
may as well do it now."
It remains to be seen whether or not
there is energy enough in the people
to meet this conspiracy.

Civilization.
"Civilization" is evidently oulv par*
tia)ly civilized; but for fear that there
may b^ a few other uul'ortunates in
tins country similarly affected, we will
give one reason why we oppose discriminations,
and that reason sbj^l
-caif'y wi.4b-& -a complete-rel'uiatiuu Of
the fallacy involved in the foregoing1
several inquiries of "Civilization."
Let us take one item. If the railroads
haul corn to Columbia twenty
per cent, cheaper than they will haul
it to Winnsboro, or Ridge way, or other
town in this or other county, this
enables the Columbia merchants to
undersell the "Winnsboro or other
competing merchants. This will be
admitted. What will the Columbia
merchant do with his twenty per cent,
advantage? This is the next inquiry.
Will he give it to bis customer? Hard- j
ly. lie will wait until his competitor
at "Vyiniitboro or elsewhere has marked
his corn, and then he will put his upon
the market at a price just enough below
that of his competitor to induce
the current of trade?it is upon the
consumer everywhere that the burden
of this outrage will fall.
Under a normal state of affairs,
when all sections are fairly dealt with,
the merchants of "VVinnsboro will compete
with the Columbia merchants,
and each will struggle to undersell the
other. In this way goods will be put
down to the people at the lowest possible
living prices.
But under the present iniquitous
system of railroading, the law of competition
in the commercial world is
destroyed, and we have imposed upon
usamcrciiess system 01 "uiscriuuuutlons"
which practically makes the
people of one section the slaves of the
people of another. The whole country
is given over to be plundered by
the railroadsaud the "terminal points."
An Ovcrv.-orkeU Court.
There is perhaps some force in Col.
Edward McCrady's suggestion that
another Justice should be added to the
Supreme Bench. lie points out the
fact with the Court constituted
as ic is at present, there may be in
cases of disagreement an even division i
of judicial opinion, as is the recent
case of the Aultman & Taylor Company
vs. Hush, where Judges McGowan
and Huaron are opposed to
Judges Simpson andMcIver.

which Col. ilcCrady raises is quite as |
great as he supposes it to be. Take j

Vvc will not hesitate to concede that
as a lawyer Judge Hudson is non
seczindus. lie is the peer indeed of
any man at the South Carolina bar.
But it is hardly a correct balance to
setoff a Justice of the Supreme Court
with a Circuit Judge in any case.;
Supposing them to be of equal natu- i
ral ability, several, circumstances com- j
bine to give greater weight to the!
legal conclusions of the former. In !
the first place, Circuit Judges arc often !
forccd by<fheir surroundings to decide j
011 the spur'of the moment issues that J
require mature consideration, and are
consequently, naturally enough, just
about as often wrong as right. In the
second place, owing to lack of time,
inherent haziness, and !he hurry inci
dent to tbe bearing iu the Court below, |
causes arc uot so fully- argued by
counsel on Circuit as in tbe Appeal
Court. And, lastly, the Justice of the
Supreme Court has an immeasurable
advantage in the superior facilities for
investigation which he enjoys. So
taken all in all there is much reason
why his opinion should outweigh his
brother on Circuit, and be accepted
more readily as a rule of action.
But we agree with Col. McCrady
that the Supreme Court is in need of
more Judges. Instead of ene, however,
we arc inclined to rccommend
that two more be added to the bench.
It is a notorious fact that the Court as
now organized is overworked. The
Justices do not havs sufficient time to
devote to the investigatioii-of the law
in important causes, and when it is
remembered that they arenot simply
engaged in deciding issues, but in settling
or unsettling the law, as the case
may be, it will be at once realized
that this is a serious difficulty indeed.
The next Legislature should provide
for the election of more Judges. The

New Versus Old South.
(From the Edgtfield Monitor.)
There is a ne?v South, Bill Arp to
the contrary notwithstanding. "What
was meat 30 years ago would be poison
now and vice versa. The Old South
was mainly interested in the institution
of slavery, where her millions
were invested and \>hich her pride
and traditions led her to^cherish and
watch over with a jealous care. That
institution has passed away and the
political and industrial situation is so
changed that the appellation of New
South is not altogether a misnomer.
SriII thnrft is no reason whv the New
South should be crammed down our
throats ad nauseum.
(Columbia Register.)
There wonld be thrills of horror all
over the South if it was proposed to
put the colored brethren back into
slavery. But Russia actually proposes
to put 80,000,000 ot peasants
back iuto a worse state of serfdom
than they were when freed by the decree
of Alexander. The Czar puts
himself on the idea of placing his subi

a cotton factory at this place. T. L.
Harnes was calbd to (be chair, and
Archie R. Stokes requested to act as

David Johnson, Jr., stated the
objcct of the meeting, and was followed
by Williams Jefferies,William Munroe,
and Dr. John P. Thomas. Resolutions
in regard to soliciting subscriptions
were adopted, and it was determined
to meet again on salesdav in
June. Already about $65,000 has been
subscribed, and when the different soliciting
committees shall have finished
their work a still larger sum will have
been subscribed. The amount wanted

Not Accounting for Law,
{From the Columbia Record.)
The ad vocal cs of starvation wages
for teachers defend their position on
the ground that, while the State shall
give but ten or fifteen dollars a month
as salary, private contributions may
be expected to sweii the amount to a
decent sum. Admitting that ihis
arrangement could be made, it is not
in accordance with the spirit of the
school system. The. object of this
system is to give free education to all
children alike, without any discrimination.
This is the great feature
which, according to Dr. Carlisle and
other leading educators, distinguishes
the present system from the one existing
before the war. Now, suppose a
teacher is expected to supplement his
public salary by charges oil individuals.
If such charge is made, and
the parent of a child cannot or will not
pay it, the child is debarred from the
school privileges, which it is his right
to demand. On the other hand, if the
nvh-o hnivtan 15 hnprip. bv a nnrtirvn of
the pupils, and the rest are admitted
free the odious distinction between
"pay" and "pauper' pupils at once
arises, and our ante-bellum system is
revived in the same feature that destroyed
its usefulness. Much better
would it be to pay the teacher? decent
living rates for a few months ot public
school, and then let pay schools, as
such, be opened. Or, better still, let
every oommunity raise a local tax,
and in this way keep the schools open
fjr six months, without pauperizing
the unfortunate teachers. There is
too much of this ten-dollar teaching
abroad in the State now.
The "Boom Sontli.
The Textile Record, very good
authority, has this to say regarding
Southern prosperity:
"The boom South is attributable
almost solely to the development of
the natural resources of the States,
and therefore it receives its impetus
- from an actual and large increase of
wealth. There is unusual activity
because there is an unprecedented
creation of wealth from the soil. For
example, the cotlon States now produce
nearly one-third more cotton
than before "the war. But this is only
one item. The development of the
iron industry is another. Quite as
important as'either is the division of
the large plantations into small farms,
insuring more thorough cultivation,
and the tendency of planters to give
attention to truck farming, and to the
growing at home of lood supplies.
In short, the movement, as a whole, is
simply toward that large and free
diversification of industry which is
only possible in a community devoted
to manufacturers as well a3 to agriculture,
and which is one of the first
essentials to prosperity. In five years
the wealth of the South has increased
more than 40 per cent., while the population
has grown but 1G per cent."
"Cruel and Rapacious."
(Greenville Daily JSreics.)

recent decision of the Supreme Court,
denying the right of a married woman
to mortgage her property as security
for the debts of another person, as a

text of the decision it says: "Harried
women have some rights in Sonth
Carolina which a rapacious and cruel
creditor is bound to respect."
* * * *
In this case decided by the Supreme
Court the Aultman & Taylor Company
sold the defendant Rush a steam engine.
They paid for the iron to
make it and paid the workmen who
hammered it out and put it together.
It was theirs, part of their property
on the returns from which, we may
presume, the members ot the company
depend to feed their wives and children.
Down here in South Carolina
Mr. Rush bought the engine for his
use and service and to make money
with. He got the results of the capital,
labor and ingenuity of the manufacturers
and used the'm for his personal
advantage. As his name" was
not good enough to obtain for him

Cotton Facteries.
(From the Union, Tunes.)
Are factories profitable? is a question
put to us very often, and we can
only reply by pointing to the increased
amounts now being invested in cnlar?iner
and increasing the caDacities
of the mills already established. The
Trough Shoals Factory is doubling its
capacity; the Greenville and Clifton
Factories pre doing the same, while
the Newberry Factory is increasing its
number of spindles 'materially. Besides
these evidences of their being
profitable, the enterprising citizens ot
the cities of Greenville and Spartauburg,
and the towns of Laurens, GafFney,
Chester and Prosperity, after
maturely considering the matter, from
everv point, are earnestly at work to
build factories at those points, to be
run by steam.
It" 18 nUl pruoublc that the astute
\ citizens of those cities and towns
would invest their money in snch
enterprises, - if they were not assured,
by the practical experience of
these already engaged iu "such enterprises,
that they were profitable investments.
But in our earnest desire to establish
a factory here, we are not governed
a'together by the prospect of
any direct profit that may come from
it- - ~ _i_ !.. :i . L?jl l*. ^:ii

j be a direct pecuniary benefit to the
[ people at large throughout the county,
and particularly the farmers. At the
same time we know that every factory
now iu operation ai*ound us have
proved profitable, as the stock in some
of them is held much above its par
value and cannot be bought.
If the Northern cotton factories
make colossal fortunes for their stockholders,
after paying from 1? to 2
cents a pound charges for getting it
there, why should not such factories
at the South, saving those charges,
make fortunes, and at the same time
give the farmers the advantages of
the saving? Let the Southern farmer
think and act in their own defence.

pains about the chest and sides,
and sometimes in the back.
They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especially
in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach: sometimes
a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit ox the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After . a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at- j
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not secm to. afford
any rest After a time lie hecomes
nervous, irritable and i

gloomy, and has evil forebod- j
ings. There is a giddiness, a
sort of whirling sensation in j
the head when rising up sud- |
denlv. The bowels become
costive; the skin is dry and
hot at times; theb'ood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with
yellow; the kidney secretions
becomes scanty and high colored,
depositing a sediment
after standing. There is frequently
a spitting up of the
food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sometimes with a
sweetish taste; this is frequently
attended with palpitation
of the heart and Asthmatic
symptoms; the vision becomes
impaired, with spots before
the eyes; there is a feeling
of great prostration and
weakness. All of these symptoms
are in turn present. It
is thought that nearly one-half
of our population lias this dis
ease in <.ome of ius varied forms.
