South [ Carolina is a State where no divorce records are shown. She is the only State ihat has no divorce law. Governor Hill, of New York, has formally announced his determination not to be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. - * i Sensible man. He would rather ho:u j on to the gubernatorial chunk in his j mouth than jump at the Presidential shadow in the water. As showing the vast importance of agriculture to the prosperity of the country, an analysis of our export trade for the last fiscal year gives seventy-five per cent, as agricultural products against twenty per cent, of manufactured articles. Unless the farmers prosper there can be no permanent prosperity for the country. Sojie explanation oi now ins unui- | mons amount of pension money paid f by the government is continually in- J creasing1 as the war recedes into the past may be found in the fact that reports are constantly reaching the United States Pension OSice from different parts of the country of men in perfect health illegally drawing pensions. To" the question by a Philadelphia Republican paper, "What keeps the South solid?" the Chicago Times makes a pretty close guess, when it says, "The quickest way to find.out is to listen to Foraker, Fairchild, Tattle, Clarkson, and other partisans of their kind," and to see them endorsed by a majority 'of the party which dominates in several of the Northern States. The answer is easy. General Black, Commissioner of Pensions, has just issued a report from that office. The amounts paid was a large increase over previous years and is still increasing. It seems as if ihe nnmherof riensioners will never ccase as new names are added daily. Since 1S61 076,948 claims have been allowed. The amount paid for pensions sincc 1861 amounts to the enormous sum of $S83,440,29S.o6. Josk Billixgs once said: i!I never argy agin a snccess.

It becomes plainer and plainer every day that Congress must do something about restricting '.mraigratiou to this country. The anarchists recently issued an address to the workmen of America which, in a most inflammatory way denounced the constituted government of this country.

The Daily Sun has a dispatch from Kingstree, giving an account of what came near being a serious riot between the whites and blacks of that place owing to incendiary talk among * the negroes by the notorious Radical politician Swails. Eight wagons of armed negroes came into the town bent on a fight, but the whites, by their coolness and determination, prevented a riot. "We suggest that the people of WiliTomc-'hnror c lVC Rwfrils SOmC niHTHS ? v v ? ? ? takable evidence of their displeasure with the firm request that he depart hence without day. Every Democratic State Convention that has yet come together has endorsed the present administration, notwithstanding the mutterings of some disconcerted leaders. Massachusetts is the latest State that has given a complete and hearty endorsement. Hon. B. B. Sraalley, who has recently traveled tnrougn iue ouuiu and West, and who, from his position on the Democratic Executive Committee is acquainted with the prominent leaders of those sections, says that they all are in favor of Cleveland's renomination. Tiiey deal with the race question in a very practical way over in Georgia. A negro woman went into the car set aside for white people, and being requested to go ont, she refused. The conductor or somebody else telegraphed to Conyers, and when the train arrived at that place the colored ladv was prevailed upon in some way to vacate in a hurry. Two colored gentlemen from Boston were likewise convinced at the same place that they had better go to the car set apart for them. The Georgia way may not be the best way to deal with the race question, but it seems to be the most effective. The following, taken from the Columbia Register, expresses precisely oar view with regard to the matter spoken of: The Aiken Journal and Bevien says : "The up-country papers waited pa tientlv to see.which way the 1Yeics and Courier would blow in regard to Jefferson Davis's visit to Macon, and having found out, arc industriously blowing the other way." i We publish the above to say that oar observation, based upon a careful and habitual examination of the lip-country papers., does not confirm the conclusion reached by our contemporary. We have been much impressed with the independence of the .journals referred to as well as of the journals of the whole State. And long may it be so. Tin: Atlanta people seem to have ; tired of getting their liquor from j neighboring towns and arc going to j trv to get it at home after November i n-i.rvn <1 nftv,* election will be held. In i I the event of the anti-prohibitionist j succeeding in carrying the election j the license will be placed at $1,000,! and all the saloons restricted to a cer- j tain district.

"We hope the day will never come when the people of the South shall look with contempt upon the soldier of the "Lost Cause." 17I? 1 C'l ? What is the matter with the South Carolina editors! Within the past week or more there have been three difficulties in which editors have been parties. Editors Dinkins of the Manning Times, and Witherspoon of the Enterprise had a street fight. At ? ^ " I-.: JLexmgton jlt. iiciiui~i.\. kuuu^u down Editor Leapbart of the Lewiedale Ifetvs, and at Mt. Pleasant B. M. Royal was shot by T. S. Gaillard, owing to newspaper slatements. All this resulted from personal quarrels in the different papers and is to be regretted. Newspapers that deal in personalities may expect to suffer the consequences. "We hope the dark cloud that hovers over the journalistic ? ?:n 1-?1/->rrr (mrnv rtnrl SH\ YVILL JUUil uiuir u it u>t v...v. things as calm as before. The committee appointed at the Extradition Conference recently held in Xew York city have prepared a bill | to be presented to Congress on interstate extradition. It will be submitted to the Governors of the various States and Territories before being finally passed upon. The specifications of the bill are drawn up so that there is little danger of any miscar | riage of justice, but equal care nas | been taken that it shall not be nsed as j a means of private persecution and revenge. One provision is tnat any officer who by force or threats compels a person to go from any State in whfch he may be into another to answer a charge of crime shall be deemed gailty of a felony, and be punishable by from five to ten years' imprisonment. It is just possible that the Demo ciatic difficulty of what to do with the surplus revenue may be somewhat simplified by the steady growth of anti-protectionist feeling in the Northwest. Republicans in that part of the country are becoming more and more impressed with the fact that the tarifF is to a large extent a tax upon production, and thai the great agricultural products of the country bear a disproportionately large share of this harden. Minnesota has remained Rennblican bv a narrow majority only because the party has thrown over its high tariff principles in that State, a:icl the instinct of self-preservation will probably drive an increasing number of members of Congress from the Northwest to support any reason- j able plan of tariff redaction which the 1 Democrats may be able to agree on. Whether there will be enough of these to offset the secession of the Randall men remains an open question. What Shall We i>o? The protectionist journals advocate | as the best way to reduce the surplus ?t'?e abolition of the tax-on whiskey and tobacco. Whiskey and" tobacco are not necessary to any man's life. No man is bound to use them, and only those who do use them pay the laxes, consequently wnuu iuu wia. ao i retained 011 these luxuries only tho.c* I who indulge in them sutler the burden. Bui -all men, women and children have to be fed, clothed and sheltered, and to place a high protective tariff on wool, iron, coal and lumber, is nothing more than placing a grievous tax upon the very necessaries of life. The advocates of revenue reform desire to lessen the burden of fftvafinn hv rwlncincr fhft taxPS Oil those articles which all are bound to consume, and to retain those on articles of luxurious consumption. This is how the matter stands?free whiskey and tobacco or dear food and clothing. "Which shall we have? Railroad. IVrecks. We cannot believe that the railroad companies are entirely free from criminal neglect in all the railroad disasters we have at present. The first thiug that greet? the eye in your daily paper iu head lines is, "Pe:ils of the Rail,*' "Two Passenger Trains Collide," -.'Killed and Wounded," and you find out presently that the train dispatcher didn't do as he ought, or the bridge inspector failed to examine the rotten bridges along the line, or somebody else didn't do something he ought to have done. We fail to notice anything about any train dispatcher or bridge inspector or anybody else being hung for their neglect. Maybe if that remedy was tx*icd once ox- twice we wouid not have such an epidemic of j disasters as at present. All summer the rotten bridge lias been doing the work alone, but the season is fast approaching now when the coal stove will also take a hand in the destruction. The rotten bridge and coal stove both can be done away with, and unless they arc the officers should be held liable for deaths caused by them. A Hoard of Ti ade. If anything is ever to be accomplished in a community there must be i united, concerted action, it matters ( not what may be tne thiDg to be ac- ^ complished. In these days of rail- ( roads and railroad towns'competition ( K.ir.Ti'.nj mftcf tlifim on/1 <h?f. 1 ill W LLC1* AO j mmv* 1 ? 1 1 j community which makes the greatest t effort gets the larger share of business. ] Xo place can rest quietly and expect 1 business to come to it.

For this purpose we sug- ] gcst a Board of Trade, composed of 1 the prominent, progressive, energetic i merchants of our town. Such a I Board could do much good in secur- ] ing freight rates and other accommo- . ; dations and make other efforts to en- j i?j. t 1 , large our irauc uy pxaus tvui^u uvuut- i less would suggest themselves to the i members. ; Foraker and His Snub. , At the general handshaking between 1 the President and hi* wife and the : people during the recent celebration : in Philadelphia Mrs. Cleveland merely bowed to Governor Foraker without shaking his hand. If there was anything to be proud of in receiving a snub we can't see it, but Foraker fairly gloats over the matter, and is re- i ported to have said that he "was glad i it occurred. He wants everybody to know it." Foraker Is nursing a little 1 Vice-Presidential boom and wants to keep himself before the public as much as possible, even if he has to sret into all sorts of unsavory scandals to advertise himself. It is a small matter, it seems to us. The Charlotte Hornet, however, condemns Mrs. Cleveland from a point of social propriety, and looking at it from a Democratic standpoint, the Hornet thinks it "unwise and unfortunate." What : a snubbing of any one by Mrs. Cleveland can have to do with the Democratic party we can't see. Mrs. Cleveland can shake hands with whom she ( pleases. If the Hornet thinks any- ! body will leave the Democratic party because Mrs. Cleveland refused to shake with Foraker, let them go, and ' stay out until they learn a little sense. Exhibit Our Kcsourcos. Wc believe it would be a good plan for our people to systematically exhibit our resources at the State Fair. We have no exhibition of any kind of our own where people can see really what we can do in industrial progress. Some of the best advertised States at expositions throughout the country , are those that make a tasty dispiav of their agricultural resources. These exhibits are arranged in such a handsome way that they immediately catch the eye of the on-looker, and it is the best sort of advertising. "VVe have as fine an agricultural country as can be found in the State, and we are sure that if our productions were adequately displayed that they would induce outsiders to give our section some consideration and might possibly induce some desirable iinraigiant to settle in our midst. At any rate a good exhibition of our agricultural products, such as corn, oats, wheat, millet and other things, together with the blooded cattle and horses, which are | found in the county, could possibly do 1 no harm and would entail little trouble on those exhibiting them. The farmers are an organized body in the county and we think they could take this matter in hand and carry it through. We don't know whether such work is exactly in their line or i not, but we throw out the suggestion to them. The co-operation of merchants and others outside of the movement we think could be readily ob- i tained. Let us try it once'any way, and if we can make a successful exhibit at our State Fair it will be an easy matter to seek larger fields for ftnf ovhiKifinn Srtnf-T) Cflmlinn. needs judicious advertising in this way above all things. Somebody has to make the start, and we see no reason why Fairfield cannot start the movement. Call for a Convention. Mr. B. R. Tillman, the agricultural "Moses," has issued his manifesto to the farmers of South Carolina, calling a convention to meet in the city of Columbia on December 1. The article : is in keeping with former ones on the , same subject, and to every reasonable < man is sufficient evidence to show ' ' - A 1. A J A %% O * T\ mat ne iucks iiiui uruuu. fciaiuomuaiouiy which is so necessary to remedy governmental abuses, if snch exist. For ; two years he has persistently discussed the governmental abuses which his 3 own imagination has created, and in \ seeking to remedy them he has ap- 3 pealed to the prejudices and passions < of the public rather than to that calm j reasoning and judgment which are so necessary in accomplishing any great , reforms. While he is undoubtedly a I ?~ ~nnf ncrvl in fi wav ' , calculated to attract under his colors the reasonable and sensible men of the ; State. Any man of ordinary intelligence is well aware of the fact that i upon our agriculturists depend the welfare and prosperity of the State, 1 and that their prosperity means the < prosperity of all classes of onr citizens, ( whether doctors, lawyers or preachers. ( Is it possible, then, that any attempt 1 has been made to baffle the efforts of c our farmers in securing their just ' - - * ? rights.' uertaimy sensiuit; men 7YVU1U ( not. "\YTe arc very much of the opin- i ion that Mr. Tillman has smitten the t rock once more than directed, and that an Aaron, a man of broad intellect, good judgment and the wellfare of all classes at heart must assume command ] of the agricultural forces before thev ? ( can be led to the promised land which t his fruitful imagination has created for i the State when the so-called "bosses" [ are counted among the outs. I Proposed Preliminary Campaign. The Laurens Advertiser recently nade a suggestion, editorially, that candidates for State offices should canrass the State before the nominating convention met. and thus bring the choice of officex-s directly from the people. This would be too much, we ;hink. Already most of the counties nave primary elections for representa;ives in the Legislature and county officers. Then there must be a con mention to send delegates to the State Convention, after which comes the regular campaigu. This country is cursed with too many elections and campaigns now, without idding another. i?very campaign brings with it a needless amount of ;ime, expense and labor, together with in amount ot excitement which well nigh paralyzes business. The present plan is good enough. Long before the convention meets the opinions and records of different candidates are thoroughly ventilated in the newspapers and discussed among the people. | A.s much of the policy of a candidate is known, iu the present way, as if ?ach candidate would make a tour of Lhe State. The charge that there is a political apathy among the people we think is not founded. It i9 not so in our experience. Such matters are thoroughly talked about, and *;uch men as represent the views of the people are sent to the State Convention. We have too much conjldence in the integrity and wisdom ot the people of Soutn Carolina to aeneve that they would send men to the convention who could be bribed or juggled into voting for any candidate whose record is not clean. This has beea our experience so far, and we see no reason to believe that this state State of affairs will be changed. The issues in the State, as the Agricultural College, for instance, are discussed from the stump by candidates for the Legislature before the primary election. These are the proper men to discuss these subjects, for they are the men in the end who make the laws, and not the State officers. The latter only execute the laws as made for them, and it is not necessary for them to go about telling what their policy will be if elected, for in all important questions their policy will be exactly the will of the people as expressed by the legislative branch of the government. We therefore think no good would be accomplished by the proposed change. How the Tariff Works. Prof. R. Means Davis has an article in the "Monthly Report of the Department of Agriculture" on the working of the tariff as it effects the farmers of the State. It is the clearest and simplest statement of the facts. Speaking of the decline in the price of cotton, Mr. Davis says: The steady decline in the price of cotton, while not exclusively due to the competition of the Southwestern States and of foreign conntries, is so largely dependent on this causerthai the farmers of South Carolina tnust face the serious question how, on impoverished lauds, they cau still make a living by raising this staple. It is plain that under existing circumstances the price does not pay. Steps must be taken? 1. To secure a better price if possible: or 2. To diminish the cost of production of cotton, and to diminish the cost of subsistence. Thus, without lowering the standard of living, which no people should do, farmers maysecure the same comforts and necessaries by the expenditure of less money?so that- the smaller income derived from the sale of their crops may still pay for the articles of concumption they must purchase. It is not the money price of cotton that is I important, but the value of cotton in exchange for other commodities. If a pound of cotton will bay a yard of lrmtrrinfh. or a nound of sosrar. or a w"w ?7 " ? r? yard of bagging, or a coffee-pot, it makes no difference whether the price of each is eight cents or ten. lint if each of these costs ten cents while cotton sells for eight, the fanner thus loses two cents in every pound of cotton. Why cannot he raise the price of cotton? Because the market price of cotton is regulated in the free ports of England. Anybody from any part of the world can send a bale of cotton and """ '* *" ?ll full frPP 1W 1 LI Ui(?| nvv am iu4* Muv* * ? competition with everybody else. That price is regulated by the world's demand and supply, and the farmers of Souch Carolina form too small a part of the farmers of the world to affect the result. Moreover, cotton farmers, as a general thing, have to sell just as soon as they can get their crop ginned and packed. They cannot form a pool to corner the market; they mast take what they can get in a free market. This is all right It is ihe natural law of trade. But when the farmer goes to Liverpool and sells his cotton in open market, and then ( buys his longcloth and bagging and sugar and coffee-pot in open market and sets out for home, as soon as he reaches his native land, and, before touching his foot on shore, he is met by a fellow-citizen, an officer of his own government, who demands a certain sum of money from him for the privilege of bringing them in. This is just the same thing as if he had cut off a few inches of the longcloth or L. ~ A bUUUpuu vuu a icw o^vviiiuio from the pound of sugar, or twisted Dff the nose of the coffee-pot. There is no free market for him on what he buys. If he had sold a thousand dollars1 worth of cotton and brought back a thousand dollars' worth of merchandise from England, the United States toll gatherer would have taken from aim under the existing laws between \hree and four hundred dollars. This operation is called enforcing the tariff. In conclusion, Mr. Davis says the irst thing for the farmer to do is cut lown the tariff so that he can trade ? i s rni & iirectiy witn JLngiana. xae iarmers >f the "West and Soath groan under leavv burdens which they can throw >ff whenever they determine to do so.

Mr. Zapp has visited Xew Orleans before and will remain here several days to renew old acquaintances.

We neelect our health, wliich is the most important factor to our comfort and happiness, ancl when it is gone what pleasure is left us? We feel baclly, languid, sleepy, but say its all right.

In place of feeling , better we feel more depressed and more badly than we did the previous day. Procrastination is the thief of time: it is also the thief of health, for by procrastination we allow onr systems to become thoroughly poisoned wi~h disease, and once thoroughly charged with malaria or the gems of fever it is no easy job to rid ourselves of them. It is an established fact and beyond dispute though that if we keep the liver healthy and in good order it is impossible for disease to take hold on our system. If you prefer a pill, try Dr. Cil ler's Liver Pills; or if a llij.dd prepaiaiion, Hill's Hepatic Panacea. Tlu-y both remove the excessive bile from the sj-stein, tone up the stomach to hwaithy action, build up the broken down constitution, and if taken according to direction, it is I impossible for disease to take hold on us. * McMASTEPv, BIUCE & KETCIIIX.

I can sum up the lirst four and a half or live years of my experience in few words. Occasionally I was laid up for a day or two, but on the whole I stuck to my work. 1 kept taking quinine, in larger doses from year to year, and ke;>t on get ting weaker and worse, slowly but surely, all the time. My trouble was now well dofined and i;.? symptoms were steady and regular. I i.:. i dumb ague lit its "worst form, ami it was grinding me dowu in spite of all that I could lio or the doctors could do. It held me ii: a grip like fire in 11 luirniv;'!roui mine.

As to food, one of my lit: 1 e.'di !ivn would cat more in a men! than I could in a day. I would order food and then turn from it in disgust. I lived on quinine and other stimulants and on mysdj.\ like a bear in winter. The quinine set my head in a whiri. and the liquor?given as a medicine made my stomach so sick I could not tolerate it. From 17:') pounds (my proper weight) I ran down to 97 pounds?tlic weight of a light girl?and was scarcely better than a skeleton. If anybody ha-1 taken a hatchct and knocked vie dn/vn and killed me I should hare been belter <>ff. During the latter part of this period, early in 1880. my physician said: "Miller, there's no use in my taking any more money of you. 1 can't do you any good. I might pour pounds of quinine down your throat and it wouldn't help you." On the strength of this I gave up the use of quinine altogether, and made up niy mi ml to do nothing more and take my chances. Three weeks afterwards?about the last of May?my wife saw an advertisement of Kaskine in a New York paper. She (oid me of it. I said: 44 Stuff and nonsense! it can't do mc any good." But she went to a druggist's, nevertheless, to get it. Tiie druggist advised her against Kaskiuc: lie said it was nothing but sugar: that she ought not to throw affay her money on it. &c. He said lie didn't keep :!. !-i;t could get it if she insisted 0:1 haviii^-it. Turning away ii: di>gnst my wife spoke to our neighbor. Mr. A. G. Hegewald, who got l:er a bottle at a drug store in Sixth avenue. Alnt?\>t against my will, and without the lejist faith. I hi-^ra:: taking it. In one week I was better. I began to sleep. I stopped 14 seeing gnosis. i began to have an appetite and to gain strength. This was now the first of June, 188G. and by the end of that month I was back at my bench at C. P. Smith's scroll sawing factory in 116th street, where I work now. Since then I have never lost a day from sickness. Taking Kaskine only, about forty pellets in four equal doses a day, I continued to gain. The malaria appeared to be killed in my system. and now I've got back my old weight?17.3 pounds?and my old strength to labor. I am an astonishnii.Tit tn ml to 111 v friends, and if K iskine did not do this I don't know what did. The only greater thing it could do vould l>?> to bring a dead man to life. Fi:ki>kj;ick A.
