a tedious trial for bribery, is a very
old man and apparently quite feeble.
Like the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, he
is said to be very fond of playing
poker and does not permit nis legal
troubles to interfere in the least with
this favorite pastime.

Dciuxg the half century of Queen
Victoria's reign great progress has
been made in science and the material
arts. "When she came to the throne
railways were in their infancy; the
telegraph and the telephone were unknown,
and no steamship had ever i
crossed the Atlantic, ller reign from I
the 20th Juue, 1S37, to the present j
time covers a period ef marvelous!
achievements in the history of man- j
kind.
Ben Butler may rave and snort |
over the proposition to return cap-;
turea flags to the Southern States, but
as nothing has been said about a general
surrender of spoons, silverware,
bijouterie and articles of virtue there
seems to be no apparent reason for
him to go wild,?J\. i. wona.
The point is well taken; the braying
of the long-eared animal is for
once rather previous. The trouble,
however, is that as a learned counsellor
he fears the precedent, thinking
not without reason, that the return of
spoons might come next. He knows
the importance of getting in his objection
in time.
It will be gratifying to discover j
hereafter that the people of Young's |
township, in Laurens county, were i
not so much excited about the anticipated
uprising of negroes at that place
as the sensational dispatches which
newspaper correspondents telegraphed
ftrvw-md wnnld indicate, since it turns
out that any fears which were enter- j
tained in the premises were ground-1
less. It is always well to go slow.;
Doubtless there were men in the community
who believed just such "blood
and thunder" stuff as was reported in
the newspapers, and were ready to act
upon it, but it is fortunate that wiser
counsels prevailed.
The difficulty about regulating railroads
by law arises from their almost
unlimited power to obstruct?a power
which would never be invoked but for
this reason: the railroads arc owned
and conti'oled to-day by one set of
gamblers and to-nforrow by another;
none of them expect to hold on permanently
to the property, and hence
they are inspired by no motive t)f justice.
nor will thev ever pursue any
policy dictated by wisdom. Their object
is to make most of the situation
at once. They look forward, not to
the future of the corporation, but to
the next "deal.7' "Let us eat and
drink, for to-morrow we die*," is the
unrighteous dogma of their wicked
faith.
Theke is but one hope for this country,
industrially, and that is in buildiffg
factories for the manufacture of
various fabrics, implements, etc.; our
pursuits must be diversified, otherwise
we are surely doomed to poverty for
unlimited time. Right here at home
we cannot reasonably expect any further
growth until there is a change in
the existing order oi things, until the
area of our trade is extended oi? its
volume multiplied. This is now apparent
to the commonest intelligence.
The time has come for the intelligent
and enterprising men of the community
to put their heads and pockets
+ncrpthf?r and do something: the com
mnnitv that sits stupidly down and
waits for something to tarn up will
wake np some day to find itself in the
position of the sluggard who hung
out for a little more slumber. We are
right here in the midst of the cotton
belt, within the easiest reach of the
raw material; the manufacture of cotton
fabrics has rewards for industry
that agriculture alone cannot give.
Other communities around us realizing
these truths are availing themA#

Col Ilammetfcand several gentlemen
drove out on yesterday and selected
the siie for the new mill. It Is on the
line of the Air Line Kuilroad about
six hundred yards north of the Duncombe
road. The property is owned
by Col. Ilammett himself, and is close
to the fair grounds and adjoining land
of Dr. J. II. Maxwell. It is half a
mile outside the corporate limits.
The capital of the mill will be $500,000.
The mill will be for the manufacture
of cotton cloth and will employ
about GOO hands, it will have
between 20,000 and 25,000 spindles
and the wages paid out will between
$100,000-and $120,000 a year.?Greenville
Xews.
This mill is to manufacture cotton
cloth and it is to be operated by
steam. Greenville is pushing ahead
as no other city in the State is, and
vet it mast be acknowledged that its
facilities for this sort of work is no
greater than a number of other places
in the State. But Greenville has some
live men; this is the distinction. The
capital to this enterprise, it is true, is
largely subscribed by Northern capitalists,
and this for the reason that
they have a well grounded faith in the
industrial future of the Mountain City.
Greenville has struck out in the right
direction; it is destined to be the manufacturing
city of the State.
l<ons: and Short Haul.
We arc unable to see any good reason
why the enforcement of the "iong
and short haul" clause of the interState
Commerce Act should have the
effect of raising freights other than the j
freights to "terminal points." and the j
truth about the mutter is that there is
110 such reason.
The scheme, indeed, may be resorted
to as a policy of obstruction,
wise or unwise, and for which the
railroad.; must take entire responsibility.
But when they have perpetrated
this further outrage upon the
people they will not be allowed to
saddle the responsibility therefor upon
upon the law.
The railroad corporations are standing
just now seriously in need of a
little good advice; they need to have
the truth whispered to them that no
institution in this country which is
i founded upon injustice can permanentj
Iv stand. When the blind policy of
I obstruction has rendered nugatory
; every effort at legislative control,
I other means which we hesitate to
I
name will be resorted to. Institutions
have changed in the past, and
: they will in the future continue to
, change to accommodate themselves to

Conraso Ulinus Discretion.
According to the Abbeville Press
and Banner, the grand jury of Abbeville
county has "presented" the Supreme
Court of South Caroli a, and
the editor of that journal rejoices at
this last exhibition of matchless
"courage."
But, meantime, what has become of
i the "eternal fitness of things?" This
same Supreme Court is the highest
tribunal of this once proud commonwealth,
and every intelligent citizcn j
of the State believes; to-cJav- that its I
judgments, ngnt ana wrong, are
the outcome of a fearless and unserving
honesty of purpose. It is not a
question of error here. The people,
the whole people, have made this
Court and given unto it the mantle of
majesty. It should not be degraded,
therefore, either by the insolence of
the small official or the clap-trap of
the chimney corner editor.
The science of jurisprudence must
grow and expand as the civilization of
man advances, because all progress is
from simplicity to complexity. It
must meet all of the vast intricacies of
life and conduct and cannot possibly
be reduced to a simple formula.

Oiieen Victoria's Ju!:llee.
On Monday, the 20th irst., the
"Queen's Jubilee" was appropriately
celebrated in London. The reign of
Victoria of half a century has been
the most glorious in the history of the
British Empire. It has been during
tbr- period of her reign that the greatest
reforms have been carried, that
liberty has taken its grandest strides.
The rule of the "classes" has been
displaced by the rule of the masses,
and England is to-day a monarchy in
name but, but a republic in fact.?The
i vision of Lord Chatham lias been
j fairly realized through the agency of
! Mr. Gladstone and John Bright and
! other eminent men.
Great as the progress of the nation
has been in secular and political matters,
its progress in the intellectual
field has been even greater. The palm
| of intellectual superiority in the liinej
teenth century has bccii awarded by
i all competent judges to Dritish thiukj
ers. The sceptre of intellectual suI
premacy which I he brilliant genius of
Kant won for Germany in the latter
part of the eighteenth century iius
passed to tlie Anglo-Saxon through the
efforts of Darwin. Tyndall, Huxley
and Spencer, and other brilliant men.
Upon the whole the reign of Victoria
has been the proudest in British
history, and the friends of liberty and
progress throughout the world may
send in their congratulations on the
event of her jubilee.
Cosninjc Santa.
It is a significant fact that Northern
capital is beginning to seek investment
in Southern enterprises. The half
million of dollars wilh which the new
cotton mill at Greenville is soon to be
started is for the most part subscribed
k,- Vrt..j?wn This is the
W.- iWiWWl- -first
instance, perhaps, in which South
Carolina has been able to "entertain"
so large an amount of Yankee money.
It is hardly reasonable to suppose,
however, that this will be the last
time; there are other places in the
State whose facilities for the manufacture
of cotton fabrics is equally as
good as those of Greenville, and these
things will i:i lime be found out.
There are millions of dollars at the
North which cannot be invested there
and it will have to seek other fields,
and the South now promises better
returns than perhaps any other sections
in the country. There is a good
deal of intelligence about this thing
you call "capital," however, and it
will seek and find the best and most
enterprising places. It will go to
prosperous communities, it will go
where the people are trying to do
something for themselves, where there
is home capital prepared to "entertain"
it.
We have every facility here for the j
manufacture of cotton fabrics that
Greenville has, and there is but one reason
why we should not put up one also,
and that is a want of enterprise. If
fifty thousand dollars be raised here to
be invested in a cotton factory, one
hundred thousand to go along with ic
can be easily had from other sources.
Foreigners naturally put their money
in enierpries which have local backing.
We remind our business men again
that this is a matter which should be
considered.
A Question of History.
A "Brief History ot the United
Stales/' written by Professor J. Dorman
Steele, seems to be just now the
cause of considerable acrimonious
controversy between the members of
Northern school boards. It is alleged
that the book contains objectionable
sentiments concerning the attitude of
the South during the civil war. At a
meeting recently held by Marcus L.
Ward Post G. A. 11., of Newark,
X. J., the following resolution was
adopted:
lleaolvciJ, That as citizens and veterans
of the late war we protest against
the consummation of this indignity to
the memory of those who suffered and
died at Andcrsonville and other Southern
prison pens, and to the countless
number sleeping in unknown graves,
who gave their lives that the nation
iit'A on/1 wo nlorlo-o ourselves
111V) n- - ? upoa
the introduction at' said book
into our public schools to withdraw*
our children therefrom.
Now the trouble seems to be that
the book lias simply been written in an
historical spirit. The endeavor of the
author was to give tiie facts free from
all partisan coloring. It is not surprising
therefore, that its introduction
into the common schools of the
North should have called forth a vigorous
protest. The school histories
that have been published since the
nr-<n? tVirtcf* fh.it. have o-aiued
a footing in. Northern schools, misrepresent
the South on every question
that has any relevancy to the matter
of -the late war, and those who entertain
pleasing delusions as well as those
who have been educated under bias
are of course unprepared for the
reception of the naked truth.
But Southern school boards should
see to it that such histories as find a
in the schools of the South are worthy
the name of history. Lor the youth
of the South learn the trulh to begin
with and then they will not be troubled
with the disagreeable and almost
impossible task of unlearning anything
that they have taken pains to
impress op their minds.
j TO TEXAS.
NUMBER SIX.
Messrs. Editors: The city of Waco
is located immediatly on the Brazos
River, by which it is divided into two
j parts known as "Waco and East "Waco.
I It is supplied with all the modern
city conveniences, such as street cars,
water works, electric lights, gas, and
telephones. East Waco was at one
j time the more popular portion, but a
j few years ago the river got on a boom
and submerged quite a number of the
houses, consequently the price of
property declined very rapidly and
the town "went West." Waco proper
is very nicely laid out, the streets
running north and south, or parallel
to the river, being numbered l?t, 2nd,
3rd, 4th, etc., according to the relative
position of each from the river. The
cross streets are named in honor of
tnc men wno ill camei. uit\s [nuvcu
themselves meritorious. The two
divisions are connected by a long suspension
toll bridge, also by two railroad
bridges made of iron and well
supported by massive pillars. *The
channel of the river we would guess
to about tweutv-five feet deep, on one
side of which ilowed the water, while
from the other, wagons and carts
were being loaded with sand for building
purposes. We drove in to water
our horse and found found the water
clear and pretty, but not deep enough
to run into our buggy There sTre
several parks or gardens, not very
large, but in nice shady groves furnished
with seats, quite a number of
which were at the time of our visit
occupied by couples discussing perhaps
the old, old story. The cemetery
is also laid off with drives and walks
which were scrupulously clean, the
squares being covered over with the
native grass, evenly mown and kept
green and flourishing bjr a liberal
supply of hydrant wat^r. Quite a
number of new houses are now being
built, notably among which is the
government building, for which
Uncle Sam has appropriated a liberal
donation. On several streets we
noticed large gangs of workmen rolling
away the small houses which had
served their day, thus making room
for the larger wholesale establishments
which the growth of the city
and country now demand. The Baylor
University is also deserving of
mention among the prominent sights
of the city. This institution now presided
over by the venerable Dr. Burleson,
is owned and controlled by the
Baptists of the State. These-brethren
have also found it necessary to "pull
j down their barn? and build greater."

them until the old stand has become
too crowded. In order to get more
elbow room, they have recently succeeded
in purchasing out of the
superbs a nice shady lot of ten acres.
The old pioneer home is rolled away,
and its stead is now erecting a handsome,
large college, which when completed
wiil be an ornament to the city
and the pride of the denominations.
Hill's Business College as also the
Waco Female College, must not be
overlooked, as thev form very prominent
links in the chain of educational
facilities here provided. The public
school buildings, seven in number, are
located in the different wards, and are
exactly aiike being large, firm brick
buildings imposing in appearance.
There is In addition a central building
considerably larger in size which is
intended for the more advanced pupils,
or where they pat on the finishing
touches to the free school education.
These schools run from 9 a. in., till
12 m., and from 2 till 4 p. m., for nine
months in the year, and arc supported
! by a special school tax. The children'
I among other things are taught punctuj

street we are bidden to light, and
reccive another hearty welcome from
the nice, clever little lady who there
presides. Our greeting was cordial
as could be, everything was done that
could be done to make your correspondent
feel that though a long way
from home, he was still among friends.
With this happy family we make by
invitation our home for nearly a
week, and so pleasant was our stay
that it will ever be remembered as an
oasis on our pathway through life.
Our purpo-e was to see The country
rather than the city, having all our
life followed the humble profession of
a tiller of the soil for a livelihood. I
This we were enabled to do by the
assistance of the farmers and the real
estate agents, a buggy ride being
given us free gratis and without i
cost nearly every day. A Mr. Warren,
a farmer near town, came to aid
+ .11 tnnrnincr r>frr>r rmr HMViral
and having as he said nothing to do
volunteered to show us some farms
for sole 011 the Bosque River. "With
hiin we ride out in what appeared to
us a northwesterly directiow, and soon
strike a rough broken country known i
as the cedar brakes. For a mile or
more the land was very poor, having
no depth of soil the white rock being
right 011 the surface. The growth
upon it consisting of cedar and some
other small shrubbery, seemed to be
having a hard struggle for an exisrence.
The first farm we'came to for
sale lay in the valley or bottoms of
the Bosque. This was good, rich
Ism} imnrnvftl rmlv bp bfiiiio

fenced and having a small cabin on it.
The well or spring consisted of a barrel
fixed 011 a slide, which the good
man was expected to fill up at the
river daily, and drag up to the backdoor
for the convenience of his spouse.
We met the owner, an old widow j
lady, and friend Warren inquired if
she still wanted io sell. "Yes," she
replied, "But you can't get that farm
at the price I "ofFered it awhile buck.
Land has gone up everywhar." You
are too late; she's heard of the rise,
remarked friend W. as we parted company
with the old lady. This sudden
rise"was caused partly by Jay Gould,
who had but recently paid the city a
visit, and remarked that in his opinion
the city of Waco had as bright a
oe mv nlaco Iip hnr? sppn in the
1ULU11' I'"*"- ?? ? ?State.
Holders of city property at
once advanced the price to nearly
double, and the city having taken
snuff the country all around had to
sneeze. We drove on to another
larm, the price of which was modestly
put at thirty dollars per acre, no improvements
except a wire fence. Another
which contained a good amount
of the poor cedar brake before mentioned,
was priced at forty dollars per
acre, but had on it a small one story
cottage. A little nearer town another
farm with a small house was priced,
and the owner astounded us by replying,
"Not a cent less than one hundred
dollars an acre will buy mine."
Still a little nearer, but more than a
mile from town, a small tract of teji
acres was offered for two thousand
dollars, if all paid in cash. Just inside
the corporate limits a lot of two and a
half acres unimproved was offered for
three thousand dollars. Like the man
who visited Birmingham, we conclud
cd to wait awmie, save up our earnings
and if we prospered in life we
might some day return aud buy "nine
luches."
At friend Warren's home we found
them digging a well, or rather boreing
for water. The boring machine
wvjs being run by a small six-horse
engine, and had reached the depth of
one hundred and odd feet, but no
water. These well contractors charge
fifty cents a foot, but guarautee water
unless stopped by the owner of the
premises, in which event they demand
ond get pay for what has been done.
This "well water when reached is to
the stranger simply execrable, and we
soon learned to go a srood distance out
of our way for a drink ot cistfern
wa^er. In the afternoon we go shop?:

signed by the late authorities of the
late Georgia & Carolina Midland, with
the official seal of the late company
affixed, were to be produced at this
meeting. Upon the production of said
papers, so signed and sealed, if we

late Georgia & Carolina Midland are
to be forthwith paid by the Three C's,
and work is to forthwith begin. So

Kegrulating Commerce.
(Anderson Intelligencer,)
The inter-State Commerce Comrnisi
sion has made a remarkable ruling
j upon the subject of suspending seci
tioi^fonr of the Act regulating com[.H^erceijetween
the States. The sec
lien was temporally suspended, and
the commission gave an extended
hearing to the parties interested in
Washington, Atlanta, Mobile and
Xcw Orleans, after which they have
made a decision that does not decide.
The gist of their conclusion is that
each carrier must judge for itself what
was the "substantially similar circumstances
and conditions*' which pre
elude the special r.?te, rebate or drawback,
which is made unlawful by the
second section, since no tribunal is
empowered to judge for it until after
the carrier has acted, and then only
for the purpose of determining whether
its action constitutes a violation of
the law. The carrier judges on peril
of the consequences, but the special
rate, rebate or drawback which it
grants is not illegal when it turns out j
that the circumstances- and conditions :
were not such as forbid it. In other i
words, the commission declines to act, !
except upon special cases made. The |
result of this will be to put the conse-!
quences of an error of judgment, even |
upon the common carrier. It is pro- j
bable, therefore, that the railroads!
will not take the responsibility of de-!
ciding, and will make all rates con- i

of the Act. Under the operation of j
this decision freights throughout the
South will, in all probability, be considerably
raised.
A Groundless Alarm.
(Greenville JS~ew-i.)
The Augusta Chronicle prints a
somewhat sensational special from
Laurens to the effect that the negroes
neat* Cedar Grove, in that county,
have organized under the Hoover system,
and are holding midnight.meetings,
threatening to demand a dollar a
day wages for f:irm labor, and declaring
their purpose to kill all the white
people. It is also stated that the
white people of the neighborhood
have organized a cavalry company for
their own protection, with Dr. John
A. Westmoreland as captain.
The C'hroniclc is taking the risk of
causing serious harm toL iurc ">unty
and this State by printing such
matter under startling head lines.
People outside will naturally accept its
statements as indicating a serious and
threatening condition of affairs and
be timid of putting their persons or
monev in a section where there is
danger of wholesale slaughter. We
hftvn investiorntfjfi this matter with
some earc. The facts are that an
organization has been formed among
the white people as a measure of abundant
caution, but so far as we can
learn by diligent inquiry there seems
to be no real cause for it. The Cooperative
Workers have been organized
in various parts of Laurens and
Spartanburg, and the white people,
being unfamiliar with labor organizations,
have allowed themselves to be
troubled by the novelty. Speculations
have grown into rumors of the wildest
kind, but they cannot be traced to any

There is 110 general alarm and the
subject is discussed in a halt humorous
way. No more placid and tranquil

j world than that of Cedar Grove toj

A Sensible View.
(Columbia Recnrf.)
Along with the ravings of tfsirchild,
the silly protestations of Fo raker, and
! the noisy monthings of several of the
smaller fry, it is very comforting to
Jii.d in a great newspaper like the
Philadelphia Times the following:
"Some of the political leaders of j
the organized soldiers of the North
have become as frantic over this proposition
as if a new armed rebellion had
broken out and was about to plunge
the country into bloody war again.
The President, seeing that his very
proper purpose had given offense to
the weaker brethren, and doufcting,
011 consideration, the extent of his
authority, has had the manly courage
to recall his proposition, and it may be
hoped that this ridiculous flurry will
subside.

on either side, let. the flags alone.
They arc harmless now, whether in
Washington, Harrisburg or liic'nmond;
the issues they represented are

accepted, and the flags can remain in j
one place as well as another.
"The ancients Greeted of wood the
monuments to celebrate their victories
in civil wars, while their monuments
to commemorate victories over hostile
nations were of stone or enduring
metals. They intended that the mementoes
of civil war should perish
with the wars they celebrated, while
their victories over other people should j
stand for all time. They were wiser
than the demagogues 01 to-ciav, wno
seem to have no higher ambition than
to keep in pc-rpcttial glow the embers
of fraternal strife.
"Senator Sumner was the first of
our American statesmen to repeat the
wise counsels of the ancients by his
proposition in the Senate to efface the
name of every battle-field from" the
fla?s of the victorious soldiers of the
Union. In the sudden ebullition of
sectional hate that followed the proposition
when the wounds of the conflict
were yet fresh in every home, the
Massachusetts Legislature passed resolutions
of censure; but a subsequent
Legislature, in the cool reason of
equal patriotism, expunged the censure
from the records.
"If the soldiers of the blue and the
gray want to exchange captured battle-flags,
let them do so; if they want
to keep them, let the flags remain
where they are?for neither the keepi?or
nor the exchanging will revise a
! line of history, or lessen or enlarge the
heroism under both Hags that is now
confessed as the grandest of the world."
Let us hope that these brave and
fust sentiments are also (hose of the
Northern people.

A FATAL MISTAKE,
The Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1883, published
an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among medical
men throughout the whole
country, Dr. Thayer, the most
.eminent surgeon in Cleveland, |
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King Lad
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stomach,
which had resisted the j
treatment of all the physicians 1
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de- j
rangement of the digestion, j
with a poor appetite, followed j
by a peculiar indescribable dis- ;
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a j
sticky slime collecting about j
the teeth, causing a disagree- I
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky? j
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and languid
feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to retain
any food whatever, and
there was co:vtant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed remedies
failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order to save the patient's
life an operation was justifi
able. Accordingly, oil the 2 2d
of February, 1883, the operation
was performed by Dr.
Vance in the presence of Dr.
Tuckerman, Dr. Terrier, Dr.
Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner,
and Dr. H::lli\yeii of the Police
Board. The operation consisted
in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and Louvls. When
this had been done an examination
of the organs was made,
but to the horror ami dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The patient
did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
terrible ujiatukc; "but "
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
Lad made, but the poor woman,
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
I must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what the disease really
: was), she would have been liv'
ing to-day. Shaker Extract of
| Koots, or Seigel's Curative
| Syrup, a remedy made exi
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indigestion,
has restore'd many such
cases to perfect health after all

failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those "who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
