Admission of Territories. *-? ' ,|t<% JTCUllOHS arc OCiHg circuiaiuu III lilt territories which are entitled to Statehood bv their population asking Cleveland and Congress to admit these territories as States immediately. This action is now urged by Democratic papers, which note the great failing off of the Democratic vo:e in these territories as an evidence of the fact that the people of these would-be Slates are dissatisfied with the Democratic parly in not taking stops to admit them before. All the territories which have the requisite population and have pursued the proper constitutional plans ought immediately to be admitted to the Union, whether they will vote the Republican or Democratic ticket, but we think the latter party would have little to gain, if the territories should be admitted by them. It looks like a general rule that those States that are Republican will be Republican siill, and those that are Democratic will be Democratic still, and while the Democratic party is alway for the right we can really see no party advantage in admitting these territories as some papers h >ld. But aside from the party advantage or disadvantage we think these territories should be admitted, for it is their riaht guaranteed by the Constitution. Their admission may injure or help the Democratic or Republican parties in the national government, but that is neither here nor there when right is considered. The people of Dakota, who have long been entitled to Statehood, have for years been qnite restless, from the fact that they could not l>2 admitted to the Union owing to partisan politics. If the fight for power should continue between the two parties to the detriment of every other interest this conntry is in a bad way?one that will finally destroy it. The principles represented by the Democratic party are true and right, and although by admitting new States it might injure its power in the government for a time, yet it should be remembered that truth is mighty and will prevail, and that although crushed to earth it will rise again. The Legislature. The Legislature, which convened on Tuesday, will have several important matters to consider. First and foremost will be the Clemson bequest. As is known this paper has opposed the acceptance of this bequest by the State and sees no reason yet why it should bo. But there is another consideration that has arisen recently which we believe ought to guide the members in acting upon it. The will is to be contested by Miss Lee, and it certainly would be unwise to even consider the matter until this phase of the affair is settled. It is beiicved, however, that the advocates will urge its acceptance right away, they, in their enthusiasm, believing it impossible to break the will. Another important matter is that of pensions. The last appropriation made by this j body was entirely inadequate to meet the. expense of this department, and it is estimated that it will take $200,000 to supply the necessary fund?-. If by any possible means this or even a larger sum can be conveniently raised there is no question ab it it. If, we arc going to pension disabled soldiers or their widows we should do it | in a respectable way and not hare any half-handed manner about it. The Legislature will also elect a Judge to succeed Judge Aldrich and a United States Senator to succeed Gen. M. C. Butler. There are several contestants for the Judge's p'ace, all prominent lawyers, any one of whom would make an acceptable justice. So this contest will be narrowed in all probability to personal preference. Senator Bntler will doubtless be his owd successor. The above are only some of the more important measures upon which * the Legislature will take action, bu'i there will be many other important measures introduced as the session r?'Afri>.ic;oo ivhlfh ll'd fchftl! SnPSiic ^/iV^IWOtO MJL/VM If U4Wt? " W ?-?-? from time to time. The South and Harrison. Quite frequently one can see in the newspapers editorials and dispatches giving the protable line of policy that President-elect Harrison will pursue in dealing with the South. We can see little else about his policy except with reference to the South, and why this should be so w e cannot understand. A President is put in his place for the benefit of the whole people?ti<e entire country?North, South, Eest and West. We of the South are a part and parcel of this Union and have as much a voice in it as any other section of the country and are not conquered provinces to be governed at the sweet will of any man. Harrison canno', if he wished, have any "Southern policy." Whatever policy he may have cannot be localized, but must effect the country at large. "We think when Southern newspapers speak so much about Harrison's Southern policy they degrade and humiliate the section in which they live, and their remarks seem to be a silent acknowledgment that the South is a political dependency of some other section. * This is not to, and for our part we would like to hear less of this humiliating talk about how Harrisou will treat the South. j The Speakership. i The Colombia Record, in noting the i C:ct that Mr. Benet, of Abbeville, has j been brought forward as a candidate for the Speakership against Co!- Simons, and speaking of the fact that one of the principal arguments brought forward by his friends is that he is in favor of the Clemson bequest, with-j out questioning his ability the Record says: The objectionable feataie of his candidacy, if we do not misconceive the position in which his friends have 1 !? !. iU.fc t.A U k?A.?AUf A.l? I piaceu mm, is mai uv j? uiuu^ih um against an incumbent who is altogether worthy and exceptionally qualified, simply in order that the House may have for its presiding officer one who thinks a certain way upon a single subject. We believe that this position of Mr. Benet, whether of his own choosing or of his friends' choosing, ought to operate against his success in his race for the Speakership. And we hope that, whoever inav be elected, the new Speaker will not he placed in the position of being under obligations to a faction entertaining certain views about the separate agricultural colh-ge. The Factory. That was a good start made on Tuesday night, aud the people of the county are to be congratulated on the auspicious beginning of what seems to be she commencement of a manufacturing era in our county. The people of the county are as mndi f><] f!? r>f Winnsboro. for if a factory increases the price of cotton the farmers will reap the benefit. It is proposed to ask the people of the county, outside of Winnsboro, to subscribe to the stock, and we feel certain that they will appreciate its value and coine up handsomely. We believe they will do it, because it will be to I heir interest to do so. Furthermore, we fcclieve the factory to be a fact, but at the same lime it behooves the comittees appointed at the meeting to strike while the iron is hot. Delay is always dangerous. Let enthusiasm be kept up by quick and constant work .md success will surely follow. m -o- o? - ? Oar Lesistors. With the exception of our honored Senator, Fairfield sent an entirely new delegation to Che Legislature on Tuesday. These gentlemen, Messrs. UarrisoH, ilcKinstrv and Buchanan, are all gentlemen of wide attainments, discretion and judgment, and in their hands the interests of the whole State, and Fairfield, especially, will have able and conscientious advocates. Welcome. Tho first Methodist Conference to meet in ihis place, within its history, organii;cd last niarht. The people of Winnsboro welcome the ministers and laymen in their midst and trust that their sessions will be the means of doing much good, both for their Church and Christianity at large. Chaiuman Quay and Mahonc, it is reported, intend to contest the electoral vote of Virginia. There is-nothingfcostiange in this action, but the reason given by them is what passes understanding. With a great blow of trumpets thev announce that their object in making the contest is not for auy parly advantage, but for the purpose of helping to secure fair elections in the country. This coming from Senator Quay, who has a reputation only confined by the boundaries of this country of being a man who will not temple to stoop to any scheme, however corrupt, to carry an election, looks like the veriest irony. They will, 011 tne otner nana, liaraiv succeed in their efforts, for the returns show tho election of the Democratic electors, and the Republican party itself established the principle in 1876 that there is no going behind thereturns. In the history of the United State? but two Presidents have been ? feated for re-election. Martin Van Buren in 1840 and Grover Cleveland in 1888. It is not tu uninteresting coincidence that the successful candidate in the second contest should be the grandson of the successful candidate in the first. Both defeats were incurred on commercial questions. The New York Times says: Van Buren was beaten as a resnlt of the panic of 1837, from the effects of which tho country had not recovered at the close of his administration. Mr. Cleveland, on the other hand, has Vioon rlofoiiforl ttrhjlo fho ic in condition of great prosperity, from fear that prosperity might be interrupted by the adoption of the reform in the tariff which he had recommended and his party had endeavored to effect. It is to be hoped that the parallel may go no farther. The only hope for the Democrats is the thorough education of the people on the tariff. Ic was a curious phase of the last election that in manufacturing cities of the North, who are supposed to be protected by the tariff, that the Democrats inade the largest gains, while in the agricultural districts, wherein the people are not protected at all, the Republicans had a large majority. Let the people of the country be enlightened and tariff reform will come as surely as the sun wiil rise to-d.iy.

Gladden's Grove Community?Ilidgeway's liuildinsr Boom. The "tax bolster," roan, and I, left Winnsboro on Monday, 12th inst., about an hour before sunrise, for the (own of Monticello?the fjrmer for the purpose of "iifting" taxe?, I to sec the j placc, and roan, I suppose, from a sense ot duty. This latter member of j our party is recently from "old Kentuck," and] no doubt considers our! clean cultured cotton fields most unattractive, when he thinks of the blue grass runs of his old home. MOXTICELLO is situated in the western part of the county, and is fifteen miles from Winnsboro. It is a namesake of the home of the third presidcut of the United States, and its inhabitants belong to the school ot politics founded by that statesman. It is said that when informed of the compliment paid bim in naming the town, Presi dent Thomas Jefferson scut a donation of one hundred dollars to assist in building a school house. Before the war Monticello was ihe centre of a community possessed of much wealth and culture, and which consequently salt!:red greatly froui she result of that struggle. Several stores and a boarding school for young ladies were conducted here, and President Pierce, upon the request of the Sultan, selected a citizen ot Monticello to send to Turkey, to teach them hotf to make cotton. It is well for ua that the Turks didu?c learn, as that would have given us another competitor in the production of our staple crop. Monticello of to-day has a store owned bv Mr. E. K. Robert?, who is assisted by Mr. S. D. Goodlett, a postoffice conducted by Capt. flaync McMcekiu, who is also trial justice, a school house under the management of Mrs. Rutherford, ilr. Haunter's shop, a Methodist Church and a number of residences. Drs. II. W. Owens and R. C. Arnett are in charge of the health of :he neighborhood, and Mr. A. E. D;.vis runs a public gin about half a mile from town. Mr. Hatniteris the inventor of an instrument which it is thought will be of great assistance to sailors in ascertaining their whereabouts. Mr. Roberts kindlv offered the use of his -V I vacant store 10 our iij'iuchi iuuunt?, who exhibited his usual insatiableness for the people'* dollars. We enjoyed Opt. McMcckin's hospilaliiy, and left town in time to reach Winnsboro at a comfortable hour. gladden's grove was our nextappointment. We spoke of the road to Buck head as "corduroy ,;J how shall we describe the road to Giadden's Grove! Appletou tells in liis first reader how "Six little rabbis went cut to run, Up lull and <lc wn hill, Oil! such fun." We think tho>e liitle rabbits must surely have take:i the road to G. G., for it is literally "Up hill and down hill," bat we don't know how or where the fun came in. We will consult Roan, perhaps he can teil. Since our last trip the Con:itv Commissioners have repaired the bridge over Wateree Creek in a very substantial wav, which makes it safer than ever before. The name Giadden's Grove comprehends a large neighborhood. There is nothing to fix exactly the location or centre of the place. There is no postoffice nor anything else which can legally claim the name, except the voting place which is the store of Mr. W. T. McOrorey. There arc several stores in the neighborhood, DUt mev are an suuie uiauwiue spaa. | We arri ved at Mr. Mc(Jro rev's late ? ' so late that those waiting to pay taxes were about to give us out and go home. The weather was quite "liquid" so were the roads, and we got along very slowly, having hesitated a while before starting whether to risk the chances of getting the books wet. We overheard a gentleman tell Davis he wouldn't vote for him next time if" lie came so late again, whereupon D. assured him he would certainly reach Gladden'? Grove hereafter at sun up. After about a half hour's work tlie treasurer succeeded in extracting greenbacks enough to pay the taxes of those present. Mr. McCrorey's invitation to dinner was most acceptable, and we take this opportunity to thank him for his many kindnesses. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. J. A. McCrorcy, Sr. lie is in his eighties, and looks quite well and has scarcely a grayhair in his head. Mr. J. M. Elliott, the T. J. elect, was at Mr. Hall's store as we passed. The object of our visit being* accomplished \vc started horn?, where wc arrived a little after dark feeling very lired and much shaken up. Before reaching Mr. McOrorey's store wc crossed a vein of rock cropping out on the side of the road. The grain is very line and of a white gray t cdor. These rocks are in thin layers, between which manganese has percolated, and thus formed the most beautiful representations of trees and ferns. A slight tap with a hammer will cause the laminae to separate, and disclose these drawings which nature traced there perhaps a milim years ago. RIDGE WAY. Our experience with the dirt road lead us to the idea of taking the cars for Ridgeway to meet the treasurer's engagement at that point. An early train made it possible for us to take breakfast in Ridgeway, after which the -'everlasting tax business" was resumed. Being the business place of a large section of the eastern portion of the county, quite a number of taxpayers-came up to pay at Ridge wav, and the coHccivr was kept busy all morning. Tlie building boom is still going on at this place, and business of all kind is livening up since cotton has begun to come in freely. The late crop discouraged the business men at Ridgeway as elsewhere, but they are beginning to look brighter. The cold weather was taken advantage of by Mr. R. D. Bolick to kill a tremendous Berkshire hog, which weighed 529 pounds net. lie also killed three pigs three months old, which weighed respectively 110, 115, and 10S pounds net. It was our good fortune to be in R. ou the night of tne hot supper at the residence Mr. W.J. Davis, for the benefit of the new Baptist Church. After a very much enjoyed supper, in company with two young ladies and tho lav T tnnlr a turn at blowing bubbles. Tilts carried me back to mv happy childhood, when we used to wet our aprons, llie floor, and everything else trying to see who could beat blowing. Our party eu paired in a contest which was easily won by ihc county treasurer. That he should he such a great blower perplexed the parly. Certainly, it did not require much blowing to collect taxes?then where had he learnt? "Don't yen know he's connected with The News and Herald?" asked one of the party. That settled ir, no one felt the least doubt as to where ho learned how to blow. A handsome rake was voted to Miss Delphine Dispones as the most popular young lady. The votes cost ten cents apiece, and there were 910 cast. After enjoying the games of the young- people and wishing myself young again I started howeward. While at Kidgewav Mr. A. A. Morris showed us a photograph, taken by mm, or a. representative eacn or live generations: Mrs. Rtlph Jones and her daughter Mrs. T. G. Robertson, and lier daughter Mrs. T. M. Retubert, and her daughter Mrs. I). \V\ Ruff, and her (laughter Miss Floy Ruff, a young lady of two summers. The {icture is well taken and brings out the features of all the parties.

This is because they are purely vegetable, and entirely free from calomel or any other dangerous drug. In all cases, therefore, whether the patient be old or young, they may be confidently administered. In the Southern and Western States, where derangements of the liver are so general, Ayer's Pills have proved an inestimable blessing. D. "W. Baine, New Berne, N. C., writes: " I suffered a long time with stomach and liver troubles. I tried various remedies, but received no benefit until I commenced taking Ayer's Pills. These pills benefited me at once. I took them regularly for a few months, and my health was completely restored." Throughout New England, next to lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel Complaints are the most prevalent. Dyspepsia and Constipation are almost universal. Jlr. Gallacher, a practical chemist, of Roxbury, Mass., who was long trouDiea with Dyspepsia, writes: " A friend induced me to try Ayer's Pills, and, after taking one box without much benefit, I was disposed to quit them; but he urged perseverance, and, before I had finished the second box, I began to experience relief. I continued taking them, at intervals, until I had used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say, that I am now a well man, and grateful to your chemistry, which outstrips mine." The head and stomach are always in sympathy ; hence the causa of most of those distressing headaches, to which so many, especially women are subject. Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeepsie. N. Y., writes that for years she was a martyr to headache, and never found anything to give her more than temporary relief, until she began taking Ayer's Pills, since which she has been in"the enjoyment of perfect health.
