It has just been discovered that beer I
was a popular drink among the an- j
cient Egyptians. An exchange says !
that the mystery of the pyramids is at!
last disclosed, that they were probably ;
beer vanlts.
Mr. Carlisle thinks that the battle j
for tariff reform is almost won. His j
opinion on this point will be very en- j
couraging to reformers, for it is known I
that he is accustomed to say just what ;
he thinks and no more. There should i
be no hesitation when the enemy fal j
ters. The friends of tariff reform j
should not abate their efforts on the
eve of victory.
It has been said that the whole
inter-State commerce disputation resolves
itself into the question whether
the horse that carries, or the man who
owns the load, shall control the direction
in which it shall be sent to market,
the share of it which the
horse may eat anefwhk^-jd^ owner
may sell. There arc casuists who"
think that every tiling shonld be left to
the discretion of the horse.
Tiie officers of the Tr
2 liciu a meeting a few days
ago, with Assistant Secretary Thompson
in the chair, for the purpose of
deciding on a form of testimonial to
ex-Secretary Manning. It was de?
- - - . . i
tided to select some suitable article
for presentation to Mr. Manning upon !
his return to this country at a cost not i
to excoed $1,200. He will 110 doubti
receive the same very gratefully as a 1
pleasant reminder of the high esteem !
In which he is held by the subordinates
of the Treasury Department.
"We propose," said Henry George
in a recent speech, "to abolish poverty,
to tear it up by the roots and open
free employment for every man and
woman; and in doing this we propose
to disturb no man's property/'
When this has been accomplished it
will fairly eclipse ail 01 me magmucent
feats of the present century, and
there will be no end to the men,
women and children who will "whoop
up" George. The old scheme has
already cast an iufluite amount of perspiration
and still the poor arc with
us. If George can work the problem
: . out in conformity with the conditions
that he lavs down, bv ail means let
- . 1
, , him get at it.
It is a well known fact all over the
world that the American people will
go in head and ears for a sensation.
They have always had apeculiar fondness
for the marvelous.; The disinterment
of old man Peter 2fey in North'
> Carolina a few days ago furnishes a
good illustration. There is absolutely
& n^hope of tracing a resemblance?to
*say nothing about establishing iden
^jtity?between him and the great ITar?-*
*?a3iaL M. Napoleon Xev. srrandson of
jsbal Ney, said, during his visit to
reinterment of the remains of his
illustrious relative, the coffin was
opened and the bullet-hole was found
in the skull exactly where the record
said one of the fatal wound? was received
at the execution.
It may be assumed with eutire safety
that Lord "VVolseley is better acquainted
with Mr. Davis now than he
was at the time of writing his recent
article on Gen. Lee. He is perhaps
also better acquainted with the facts
that he presumed to recite in the
course of his narrative. lie certainly !
made many of his statements off-hand, j
but he will hardly fall iuto tiie same
error a second time. He owes the
mail he tried to disparage a great deal
more than he will ever be inclined to
acknowledge. It is evident that it
never occurred to his Lordship that
Mr. Davis will be accorded a hearing
all over the world, among friends and
foes, whenever he has anything to say.
A not unimportant circumstance, too,
is his style of saying it. There arc
several ways of speaking and writing
the same language, and Gen. "Wolseley
is no doubt now of the opinion
that for plain "Mr. Davis" his adversary
illustrates the fact in a marvelous
manner.
Charleston and the Railroads.
The people of Charleston have found
out at last that the best thing that can
happen for Charleston is to have the
inter-State commerce bill enforced.
At a recent meeting of the Cnamber j
oi commerce, Air. weary jl. >y il-1
liams, the vice-president of that body,
asked the attention of the members to
i the following resolution:
*~be appointed to ttlUli j
United States railroad commission, j
asking for the immediate enforcement!
of the inter-State commerce I
authority is given to committee
to present the petition in such manner
as may seem best to them, and to cooperate
with any and all other commercial
bodies in carrying out the i
views of the Chamber as expressed
in this resolution.
In speaking to ids resolution, Mr. j
"Williams said:
"To every seaport this Act of Con- j
gress comes as a balance restorer of j
the trade of its legitimate territory, !
not disorganizing but rearranging j,
upon normal and natural bases" the 1]
business which has been forced through ! <
channels and outlets determined upon ;1
to suit private and speculative ven- 5

ness of cost or rapidity of delivery (,
possible by routes not included in the I j
property of the controlling syndicate. ;
"It is"difficult to cause the public to c
realize that the present channels of; (
railroad distribution are neither nor- 1
mal nor natural, but that they are the (result
of private arrangement, based |
upon the intention to make certain
lines pay the owners without regard : -1
to the general public inierests.*" Xo : f
proof has yet been offered to show : J.
that the enforcement of the inter-State i g
Act will increase the cost of service to ?
either the public or the railroads,! a
therefore the question is simply the I
redistribution of rates upon a basis in !
conformitv with the provisions ot the : +
Act. * ~ i I
"Fear of loss seems to have filled i
1' m m 11 ! ?< i i i i i , i in, -lyraMwea
the minds of many here, simply upon
the dread of change, a fear that would
appear natural if this was a favored
port with strong lines discriminating
in our favor."
The resolution was passed, and a
committee appointed to present a petition
to the commission. The action of
the Chamber was not based upon the
high moral principle, "Let us be just
and fear not." Still the Chamber is
unequivocally committed to the proposition
that the law should be enforced.

A 2*2 <?a of t'onfc.SMOn and Avci'.lanee.
The Winnsboro merchants have sent
a memorial to the intcr-State coinmcrcc
commission, asking1 that the
new law be rigidly enforced. Colum
Dia occupics II prominent yiuv*; Hi t.ijv
thougats of the memorialists, as may
be gathered from the following paragraph
of their petition:
"That your petitioners would respectfully
submit that not the least of
the evils engendered by the conduct of
the railroads in the premises is that
which flows from a blind interference
with the great law of competition in
the commercial world; that under a
normal state or ailairs, for example,
the merchants of Winnsboro and
other points contiguous to Columbia,
buying their goods in the great markets
of the country, would compete
with the merchants of Columbia; that
such competition would have the sure
eflect of giving to consumers, for the
most part ill able to bear the burdens
of corporate sins, the necessaries of
ftrejw. Uio ?r.v,*est possible prices; that
whereas, as "it *o?.>"!e fir-f
levy an unequal tribute, and Tfrctr
leave the consumer to the mercy of the
morchant of tllC favored plaCCS."
The trouble is, that the consumers
arc not excited much. They find it
very convenient to come or send to
Columbia to buy their good*. They
nr>!v? not nnlv hr-ffpr nrices. but
better stocks 10 choose from, and enjoy
other advantages besides. Prices have
I always been lower here than in the
towns to which the memorialists refer.
One reason is that the merchants here
j have been content with smaller profits,
I even where goods are sold on credit.
| If reports be true, some merchants
j not l'ar from Winnsboro could have
knocked oil' from their profits the ex!
cessive freights they paid, and yet
I have had left a handsome margin. We
I don't knew; but there are suspicions
that the Winnsboro merchants?that
is, some of them?have slain the goose
that laid the golden egg.? Columbia
liecord.
The Record is an able and enterprising
journal, keenly alive to the
interests of Columbia. Its defence of
the railroads and their beneficiaries
may b? taken as the best that can be
made.
But we arc constrained to remark
that the reasoning of our contcmporarv
"hovers 011 the verge of absurd!
"
ity if it does not flounder In that logical
limbo."
It will be observed that the liecord
does not traverse the facts sot out in
the memorial of the merchants of
"Winnsboro, nor does it assail the
reasoning of the petitioners. But it
puts in what the lawyers call "a plea
of confession and avoidance." Our
contemporary seems to think that it
hasr answered the whole matter in the
simple affirmation that "the consumers
are not excited much."
"We recollect to have heard once that
there was an unrepentant thief who
died on the cross. It was not stated
whether there were any persons in
that day .and generation who suffered
were such, and that the question as to
whether they were or were not "excited
much''' was immaterial io the
guilt or innocence ot that historical
character of unsavory record. The
peculiar infraction of the law for
which he suffered does not necessarily
involve an issue of popular excite
ment. ilaybe, however, the thief
reasoned after the manner of our contemporary,
and refused to repent
because the people were not "excited
much."
The claim of the llecord that "prices
have alwavs been lower here than in
the towns to which the memorialists
refer," is likewise a sham defence.
Admitting, for the sake of argument,
that the proposition of the llecord is
true, and still the force of our criticism
is unimpaired. Our contemporary
must not only show that "prices
arc lower here than in the towns to
which the memorialists refer," but it
must show that they arc as low as
they would be were all restrictions
removed and full play given to the
Jaw of competition. This is what the
Record must show if it would answer
beforehand the question which the
consumers although "not excited

time.
The disclosure of llic Record that
the merchants of Columbia have been
content "with "-mall profits,*' "and its
insinuation that the merchants of
Winnsboro have not made the most of
their hard situation suggests the pious
prayer of the Pharisee which assumed
that omniscience might be hoodwinked,
even the consumer though
not "excited much" will hardly be
misled by these statments, so inconiciii
wuii the oruinarv-cacperience of
men in thesp , . \

enforced and all communities placed
upon an equal footing. Then lay on,
McDuff, etc. If Columbia can't "survive
in the struggle for existence" it
will have to suffer as Bagdad and
Babylon have suffered. The current j
of civilization moves on in sublime
contempt of municipalities.

THE GItAXD TXUSK LISE. j I
Messrs. Editors: Anion? all the en-! (
^ I
terpriscs inaugurated in the county of: !
Fairfield, none arc so important to ]
the future development of the county
as the grand trunk line railroad line
from Camack, Ga., to "Wadesboro,
X. C. If you were to take the map
and trace the line of the proposed j
route of this road, you will see that it;
is destined sooner or later to link the j
two in one. All arc agreed that tins
road should be built, but disagree as
to the mode of raising the means to
the end.
The only practicable and equitable i
wav is by a lax levy. The burden j
will then be equalized and rest genuy j
upon the shoulders of ail alike. To ;
attempt to construct it in any other
way is utterly absurd.
I am pursuaded in my own mind
that if the question is agitated and
properly managed, all will glide into
the scam and present little if any opposition.
A great deal has been written of
late upon the unrighteousness of a law
that wiil allow a tax to be levied upon
the people. I believe that this act of j
our legislators was laid in wisdom and j
that it will tend to increase the re- j
sources of the county.
Is it not the duty of one and all to
devise the means and apply the rem- i
cdy that will increase values and give
life to the people? I am as thoroughly
convinced in my own mind that the
construction of this road will tend in
that direction as any enterprise ever

in the history of Frnneld", liud it will"
not do to content ourselves within
I ourselves and put forth no effort in

Each one is so busy that he scarcely I
knows what Ins next-door neighbor j
is doing. Nothing has transpired to
disturb the quietude of the community j
since the lynching.
The majority of the farmers have
finished planting cotton, and at an
early day will be ready to enter the
corn-fields in the subjugation of "General
Green," should he make his
appearance as early this spring as he
generally does. The "Means" grass
appears to be very uumanageblc in
this soil during the summer. Just
i .1^
here let me mention tne remaiK inaue i
by one who has been struggling with
that grass several summers?although
I will not substantiate the truthfulness
of the assertion. While speaking of
the rapidity of the growth of some of
the plants belonging to the vegetable
kingdom, lie remarked: "The"Means
grass grows faster than anything else;
that one day last summer he left his
hoe in the middle of a cotton row at
twelve o'clock when he went to his |
dinner. Alter dinner lie enjoyed his
usual siesta, returned to his work, j
o.'.id to nis astonishment could not j
decide which half of the row was i
worked in the forenoon."

well, I suppose the cause may be j
attributed to a late spring.
The late heavy frosts killed most of
the peaches in this section. A lew
scattering ones remained, consequently
peach pies will be scarce during the
summer.
Another mad dog was killed in the

Our community was visited a short
time asro by lightning rod agents, who,
notwitstan'ding' the scarcity of money,
erected rods to several residences.
Wurfc has been commenccd 011 the

About three weeks since, a young
man, who lives about twelve miles
below here 011 the river, was in the
neighborhood on Sunday, and thinking
that quietly gliding down the
river i:i a bateau was more pleasant
than tramping, so he decided to borrow
one belonging to Mr. Joe Mitchell
without seeing him. He was was
arrested and carried before J. P.
lilair, Trial Justice, 011 Saturday. A
compromise was effected, and he is of
the opinion that the way of the boatman
is hard as well as t he way of the
tranges-or.
There have been a great many shad
caught this season at Ninety-nine
Island in Broad Iliver.
lor a few days several have been
enjoying trout fishing. Some days
half a dozen anglers could be seen
wending their way to the river with

were successful, whlie others only
returned wnn uieir patience cAuausLed,

their share of the sport for the remainder
of the trout season to be
enjoyed by others, who are more successful.

South Carolina, ?
County of Fairfield. ?
To the Honorable the later-State Coranuisiou
:
The petition of your petitioners
would respectfully show?
1. That your petitioners are citizens
of the town of Winusboro, of the ;
County and. State aforesaid, in mass <
meeting assembled. i
2. That said town contains about
seventeen hundred inhabitants, and 1
situated about thirtv-fivc miles north :
of Columbia anu about seventy miles \
south of Charlotte, and 021 the Charlotte,
Columbia & Augusta Railroad.
;>. That said town has 110 competing .
railroad line, and all freights shipped
to and from said point are shipped
over the said Charlotte, Columbia &
Augusta Railroad.
4. That the said corporation in the
prosecution of its calling, as a common
carrier, has practiced against 11s
for the past twenty-five years a merci- t
[ess system of unjust discriminations (
in freight charges, which has dishcart- sued
our people, paralyzed the indus.rial
energies of our community,
Iriven our trade into other and tin- 1
latural channels. Y
5. That it is believed by your pcti- ii
ioners that discriminations have been P
nade in the carriage (f every article 0
and from this point l'roui the most ^
ndispensable of the necessaries of life ^
0 the most insignificant article of
i ii 11 ii mi nil r ?nTrnT?Mnwnow
:rade. And your petitioners would
respectfully submit herewith a few
examples and references for the consideration
of your honorable Commission
:
cotton.
The freight on cotton from Winnsboro
to !N'ew York or to Philadelphia
is 70 cents per cwt? on an average
bale of 450 pounds, $3.15. The
freight from Columbia over the same
line to the same points and thirty
miles further is 50 cents per cwt. or
$2.25 per bale of 450 pounds.
See "How to Ship", p. 34. [Note:
To large shippers from Columbia
special rates are allowed. All bales
shipped from Columbia are by special
j. - - A? or A
arrangement esumaiea si m>\j pouuus,
making the rreight'oii a bale from
Columbia to New?,'York but $1.75.]
GUANO.fc
The freight on a ton of guano from
Norfolk, Ya., to "Winnsboro is $5.00;
from Norfolk to Columbia through
Winusboro and thirty miles farther it
is only $3.00; from Norfolk to
Augusta, Ga., through Winusboro,
and one hundred aud twenty-four
milc3 farther, only $2.75. [See "How
to Ship", p. 34.]
SUGAR.
The freight on sugar from New
York to Winusboro 51 cents per cwt.;
to Augusta, Ga., one hundred and
twenty-four miles farther, and over
the satr.c iine, it is only 28 cents per
cwt. [ifce "How to Ship", p. 34. ]
BAGGING AND TIES.
The freight on cotton ties from New
York to Winnsboro is 40 cunts per
cwt; to Augusta, over the sameiiue
and one hundred and 'twenty-four
Fiiiles farther^ it is only 18 cents. [See
"How to Ship", pp. Si aucl 76.y
The freight on bagging from New
York to Winnsboro is 40 cents per I
cwt.; to Augusta, over the same line
aud one hundred and twenty-four
miles farther, is only 25 cents per cwt.
[See "llow to Ship", pp. 34 and 77.]
r?AAT\Cf
1/UX VJ Wl/O*
The freight on dry goods from New
York to Winnsboro is $1.23 per cwt.;
to Augusta and to Columbia, over the
same line and one hundred and twenty-four
and thirty miles, respectively,
it is onlv 9G cents. [See "How to
Ship", p. 34.]
MKAL.
The freight on meal from Lynchburg,
Va., to Winnsboro is 2G cents
per cwt.; to Columbia, over the same
line and thirty miles farther, it is only
1G cents per cwt. Upon the?meal
shipped to this place during the year
this excess amounts to SI,500,
[Note: The rates over this ITne to
Augusta and to Columbia are the same
when not otherwise stated. 1
G. That it has been carefully estimated
by your petitioners that the
people of Fairfield by reason of such
unjust discriminations are forced to
pay annually an indirect tax of sixty
thousand dollars to the railroadsmore
than is paid upon the same
quantity of like goods by the adjoining
County of Ilichland, in which
Columbia is situated. That the weight
of this burden becomes appreciable
when it is stated that the entire tax
paid bv this countv does not exceed
832,000.
7. That these abuses have been car
1' ea 10 SUCH extent ius,i. meituauio
doing business in this town have found
it to their r^u vantage to have their
merchandise shipped bv this place to
Columbia and then re-shipped back to
Winnsboro, paying the local rates on
the last shipment; that a car-load of
live stock may be shipped from Atlanta,
Ga., to Charlotte, X. C., and
then re-shipped to Winnsboro at a
total cost of seventy-four dollars;
whereas, the freight from Atlanta to
Winnsboro, direct, and over the same
line and the shorter haul by one hundollars.
That stock-dealers doin<?
bnsiness in this town have availed
themselves of this discrepancy.8.
That your petitioners are informed
and believe that like discriminations,
to those herein referred to, are practised
everywhere by the railroads
throughout the country against communities
situated as theirs.
9. That your petitioners would respectfully
submit tl at not theleast of
the evils engendered by the conduct
of the railroads in the premises is that
which flows from a blind interference
with the great law of competition in
the commercial wo.-ld; that under a
normal state of affi irs, for example,
n( c nf Wi inthnm jrirl nf-hor
points contiguous to Columbia, buying
their goods in the great markets
o^the country, wojJd compete with
the merchants of Columbia; that such
competition would have the sure effect
of giving to consumers, for the most
part ill-able to bear the burdens of
corporate sins, the necessaries of life
at ihc lowest possible prices; that,
whereas, as it is, the railroads first
levy an unequal t-ibute, and then
leave the consume:1 to the mercy of
the merchant of the favored places.
10. That against the evil practices
hereinbefore referred to, so inconsistent
with the genius of our free institutions,
your petitioners have appealed
to the railroads for relief and the appeal
has been passed unheard; that
they have invoked the authority of the
State Government, but this from the
limitation of its sphere of action has
been powerless to solve the difficulty.
Wherefore, your petitioners pray
that the law of the nation which has
just been enacted for the removal of
the crying evil, the admistratiou o:'
which is entrusted ;o your honorable
uommissio oe ei:iorceci 10 me ena
that your petitioners 111 common with
all of the citizens of the Republic may
be restored to the enjoyment of that
principle of equality which is the common
heritage of Americans, and which

night into day; and, briefly,
our . desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hour'3
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we |
suffer .and die is, in plain English,
Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Serves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assimilation
and Kut.-Ition. Heakhy
digestion being impeded or destroyed,
the whole body, nerves
included, is Lite rally starved;
even when there is no emaciation
to tell the sad stoiy.
N ervous prostration sends
out its warnings:?headache
O #
in the rooming; a persistent
dull hert v in. >s or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness:
loss of a?.?; ce ar.d disgust with
food; lo^b of :o.v::;al energy and
interest in ordinary duties and t
business; resuoasness and anxiety
without rj:y assignable
r e a 8 o n;
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sallowncss
of the skin; coated
tongue arid gradual failure of
strength and nmbition,
O %
The renu-viy is a total abandonment
of the habits and customs
which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of SJi aker Extract of Boots
(Seigel's Syrup) to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Oou.r.::?:iry of Mt. Lebanon,
N. Y.*is t'S}xrvi;illy adapt- j
ed to eradicate Nervous D}rspepsia.
To do this it acts
directly and gently but powerfully
upon the disordered stomach,
liver and kidneys, restoring
their tone and vigor, promoting
the secretion of bile, expelling
waste matters from the
system,and Thurifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Extwct{b<:igeV$ Syrup)
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their natural
tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
It is safe to say more nerv
ous dyspeptics nave oeen restored
by it from the depths
of misery to a fresh enjoyment
r.A, ttuv* Inbo:1 than by any
or all other forms of treatment
combined, *
