required one month for the
administration of public affairs to kill
Grandpa Wm. Henry Harrison, and it
looks as if six months, with the help
of Wanamaker, Tanner & Co., wiP
do the job, politically, for the adminis

It takes a level bead like that of

St. Louis, Chicago, New York and
Washington all want the World's Fair j
I ??of 1892. We have received circalars
from nearly all of these cities, each
setting forth why it should be selected.
The indications are that New York
will be the place selected. It least,
the press of New York are discussing

Ithongh they were confident Congress
woald designate that city. For oar
part, we think New York is the place
It is stated that Aagnsta, Ga., cony
sanies one hundred thousand bales of
cotton annually, and that twice that
number are sold there The mills
pay New York prices for cotton and

S price from as near Atlanta as eight
miles. Her mills have made her people
very rich, millionaires being
counted among them. Augusta furnishes
an object lesson to other places
whfeb are.anxious to enter the list of
thriving progressive towns.
Some people seem to think that the
ouly way to develop and promote the
progress of the town is ior the newspaper
to repeatedly contain columns

and to spent in the most flattering
terms of the marvelous progress of the
town. This is, of course, worth
.something, but without a prosecution
of those suggestions, aud continued
action to improve aud iucrease the
welfare of the town, these things in
the paper, of themselves, are worth
nothing.

ot what is commonly called the

is the frequency of rebellion on their

and the more recent one in Chicago?
so it seems they are not confined to
the South exclusively. The better

State as the stock holders? Some time
since the Colombia Register and
Charleston World were using a good
deal of ink in presenting the special
advantages of their respective cities,
HR but now we hear nothing about it.
? It has been urged that a refiner/ an
der the control of the small mn.s is j
K . necessary to their protection, and the
8a claim was made by those in a position
to know. Can it be that circamHL
stances hare so changed as to remove
the necessity for this enterprise, or
has the syren voice of the trust lolled
to rest all uneasiness on this score?

however, she has taken a new birth

if her business men realizing that her

What Sext ?
j The Be^ nblican party, in order to
| carry the favor of the manual laborj
er and to oarry their abominable tariff
| to as great extent as po3eibles had enacted
a law which is now npon the
statute books of the United States,
commonly known as the Alien Contract-Labor
Law. This law forbids
the importation of labor under conTlia
lonnnuitn in whVh if. IS
" ? ?
coached, it is tree, is very sweeping,
bat that it should extend to ministers
of the gospel is contrary and oat of
harmony with the free action in social
and religions affairs which the age and
time ia which we live demand.
Who ever thought that a tariff woald
bo levied upon ministers or even professors?
Yet that is the outcome of
the abominable tarifil It is bad enough
to have a tariff in favor of oar material
home industries. A Now York
Episcopal Church was i equired to pay
$1,000 for importing au English rector.
This minister wants to come, bat
dislikes to make his church pay the
tariff. A Presbyterian Church in
Pennsylvania has called a minister
from Canada. lie, too, want* to
come, but i> reluctant about coming
because he will cost his church $1,000.
Tbe Catholic University at Washington
wants a number of professors frotn
Europe. No, says the authorities,
I tbev must pay the tax.
We think this Jaw is an outrage and
a shame. We feel confident that,
although at the time it was enacted, it
was not intended to give it such a
wide application, and though passed to
gain the support of ordinary laborers,
it will fail far short of carrying out

i A Bushel of Meal.
| The resolution of the Oakland Alli;
ancc, published else vhere, i9 upon a
j subject which was discussed by the
] Board of Trade some months ago, the
result of which was the appointment
of a committee to investigate
the weight of a bushel of meal. It
was then ascertained that the law
differed in South Carolina from almost
every other place. In North Carolina, I
Georgia and all the Western States,
from whence meai is generally bought,
a bashcl is estimated to weigh only 46
pounds, while iu South Carolina the
statutory weight is 48 {.ounds. Meal
is quoted at 46 pounds to the bushel
iu all commercial price lists, and is
sold to the retailers ou that basis. If
48 pounds is called for the extia two
pounds are charged. There are a
few mills, however, which sell meal
by the 100 pounds, and the retailer
calculates bis prices per bushel at the
rate per pound, making different
prices for a 48 pounds' bushel. Forty
sii pounds are generally estimated a
bushel for the sake of uniformity. "We
are informed that, all points on the
C. C. & A. K. R. between Augusta
and Charlotte reckon 46 pounds to the
| bushel in selling or quoting prices.
There is nothing wrong abont it, and
the custom has grown ont of the necessities
of the case. It would not do for
one place to quote 46 pounds for a
bushel and another place quote 48
pounds. It would be misleading.
Colombia sells at 46 pounds and adjoining
places have fallen into the
practice for the purposes of competing
The law in this state should be changed
in order to avoid the confusion and
I misunderstandieg which grow out of
the fact that what is sold lor a bushel
of meal is not a bushel.

I An Unguarded Statement.
| A few days ago the GoTernorof
Illinois, speaking to the Illinois department
of the Grand Army, announced
S this astounding proposition, which is
as astounding as it is untenable. He
said: "If the Government paid $1,000,000
daily for pensions, the nation as a
nation would be just as rich at the end
; of the year as it was before, as the
money would still, be in the hands of
our own peoplc.,r In other words,
tins means tnat ibis mucn laseu irum
industry and bestowed upon idleness
would not make the nation less rich
at the end of the year. We say lhat
this is contrary to fundamental economic
principles. Capital is as indispensable
a requisite of production as
either labor or appropriate natural
agents. Of course, strictly speaking,
the money pensioned out is not capital,
for what is termed capital is that
which has been accumulated with the
object of assisting production, and the
capital of the country, therefore, is
wealth which is not immediately consumed
nuproductively and which may
be used for the further production of
wealth. But by the expenditure of so
much money upon pensioners, it prevents
its beio|^MMjtt^^^^>ital in
thet^jl^i H&.
ter of coarse decrease the aggregate
accumulation of wealth.
Now, we have no objection to the
United States Government assisting
disabled Federal soldiers, bat there is
danger of tbe expenditures in this respect
going too far. The report of the
nnmrnfmiflner of Pensions exDlaininsr
the work of his department for the
year ending Jane 30, 1888, shows:
"The total amount expended for all
purposes by the Bureau of Pensions
was $82,038,S86.53. The total expenditures
of the Government for the
fiscal year 1888 were $267,924,801.13.
Thus it will be seen that the amount
expended for and on account of pensions
was nearly thirty-one per cent of
the entire outlay of the Government."
We may say one-third of the public
payments goes for pensions. Now for
this mnr.h monev to ffo to idlers, and
if they are helpless, and t&ey shoald
be before it is given to them, ii must
canse a great deal of capital to remain
practically unproductive, since it is
spent by unproductive consumers.
A Tree Shall be Known by its Fruit
Scarcely bad the trustees and teach*
era of Mt. Zion gotten used to the
gratifying intelligence that Richard
Fripp, a former pupil, had won a
cadetship iu the Citadel Academy,
when the news reached town that Otis
Withers bad headed the li?t ot com*
petitors for the Alumni Scholarship in
the South Carolina University. In the
latter instance there were applicants
from all oyer the state, and some of
them were- college boys. The second
AInmni Scholarship was won by Mr.
Jas. Furse, of Barnwell, who, we
understand, is in the freshman class of
University. These two young men
are to be congratulated upon their
success.
We are proud of the record made
by our Mt. Zion boys who have won
distinctions wherever they have attempted
it. The best test of the successful
management and thorough
training given by any particular school
is the stand taken by its scholars
when they compete with those from
other schools. Mt. Zion is the only
school Withers has ever attended, and
Frlpp attended there, also, for five or
six years, mitil last January, when he
moved to Columbia. Mt Zion challenges
a comparison with her record
and is willing to stand or fall by that
Of course the scholars who have distinguished
themselves are entitled to
great credit and we accord this to
them in a high degree, but their training,
thoroughness and accuracy is what
has entitled them to win the prizes
over the smart boys from other parts
of the btnte who have not had the good
fortune to have been trained at Mt
Zion.
In this connection it might be of
interest to recall briefly what some of
Mt. Zion's pupils have done:
Henry C. Davis and David D. Gaillard
won West Point cadetships at
competitive examination* and graduated
fifth iu their classes. W. D.
Bratton won a position iu the United
States Marine Hospital service over
competitors from all over the United
States, held at Washington. W. t\
"Rnhprfsnn anil Ralnh Caldwi-ll won
scholarships in the Peabodv Normal
College, Nashville, Tenn. John C.
Buchanan (who afterwards headed his
class at the Medical College, Charleston,)
lead his class ih the South Carolina
University; and all of tucother
boys who have attended there from
ML Zion have been distinguished.

It was just an ordinaiy scrap of wrapping
paper, but it saved her life. She was
in the last stag;* of consumption, told byphysicians
that she was incurable and
could live oaly a short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On a piece of.
wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's
New Discovery, and got a sample bottle ;
it helped her, she bought a large bottle, it
helped her more, bought another and grew
better fast, continued its use and is now

Remember the trustees' meeting on
Saturday, the 21st. All trustees who
possibly cau are urged to be present on
the occasion named. Let us meet and .
consult together for the cause of the
free common schools of the County,
remembering that what they do for the
child to-day they do for the citizen tomorrow.
In view of the near approach of the
fall examination for teachers' certificates,
the f 'Mowing syllabus of topics
compiled by the Superintendent of
Education in New York is published
for the benefit of prospective applicants
who may wish to review the
common school studies. Many persons,
particularly those who have
never been examined much, when they
undertake to post themselves np in
any study, take the book seriatim%
spending as much time over trivial,
unessential points as over the most
imporiani ones, mey sums waste
much time and fail in the purpose
undertaken. Iti every study there
are a few cardinal principles or
facts which must be mastered before
the student can hope to be at all proficient
in such study. Having accomplished
this, he can be said to be, at
least, fairly "posted" and is in a large
measure prepared for examination.
Questions upon minor, unimportant
features of ihe different branches
shouli never be given on examination:
thpv should he confined to tho?e cen
tral truths which form the basis and
frame-work of all studies. This
should be borne iu mind, too, in teaching
Many teachers spend as much
time over some ti ifling one-horse little
fact as over the very keystone, pcrj
haps, of the whole subject. This is
wrong; coufinc them to the.leading
topics in any study, as the following in
arithmetic and histo.y, and their progress
will be far more rapid and sub
stantial. The few short month? oar
schools arc kept open make such a
course all the more needful, and it is
earnestly hoped teachers will give it
the attention its importance deserves.

September 21. As I have been giv
ing yon dots about the growing crops,
[ thought I would tell you of my experience
in selling the first bale of
cotton. It was sampled and I was
told what would be given for it in the
usual way. I then started out to try .
the market. The first buyer I approached
asked me what I had been
offered and who had made it. I told j
him I didn't know that that made ahy
difference. But finally I opened up
to him and he said I had been offered j
the out side figures or something to i
that effect. I next called on Mr. JR. J. j
McCarley. lie came forward iu his
genial way, and said, "Mr. Terrell
what will you take, for that co:ton?"
Well sir, I was completely mesmerized.
The idea of iny being called
Mr. Terrell, even in derision, tLe man
that has done or is doing the South
more good in a financial way thau any
other, and then asked what 1 would
take for my cotton! Alter I came to
myself, I told him my price. Just i
about that time a colored gentleman
came in who, from the conversation
that followed, secmea to nave ueen
bis agent from Liverpool. Mr. Mc*
asked him something about cotton in
connection with Liverpool, and be j
replied in such a confidential tone I j
couldn't catch on. But I presume it j
must have been an encouraging reporr,
for he immeiutely told me lie
would take the cotton. I then went
to the depot and Mr. Creight weighed
it aud didn't knock off .a pound, and
seemed as well satisfied as it' he had
shaved her 20. With a check* in my
pocket for the whole amount, I made
a dash for the bank and gut the cash.
Words fail inc to express my leelings
about that tiinet so 1 will only *ay I
felt potoerfullQ good and havu't got
ten over it yet. I think each man
should bid on cotton on his own
judgment, Regardless of any other bid
that may have been made on it.
Mr. Editor, allow me to express
regrets at the depart ure of Editor Brice.

I notice in your paper numerous
articles on the culture of King Cotton.
I like to hear my neighbors express
their ideas on so important a subject.
Our grand old southern lands yearly
produce million of dollars worth of
<hn Rfunlp. jind I am real <dad
to see the producer* applying brains,
skill and energy to its production; but
just here allow ine to drop in a sng1
gestion. Let us not devote too much
! of our time, energy and comfort to
! cotton culture unless we come out
minus a more important crop, viz.,
corn. Yes, my friends, in the beginning
of each new year, let us consider
well how much corn does it take to
| run the farm yearly ana oe sure noc 10
forget to count in what you buy, and
at time prices, then select what lands
you want to make this corn on. Let
us say the crop is made, and a kind
providence has blotsed our efforts and
our cribs are full of corn, now let us
consider what we hav^g^ll our own,
bread for our families, corn for our
horses and hogs, plenty of fodder aud

kuow they make the best maunre for
corn I ever tried, when they become
saturated in the manure heaps they retain
moisture ali srimmer, besides they
make the best smoking pipes in existence,
absorbing ihe nicotine which
is said to be very poisonous to the
hnman stomach. Well I imagine I
hear some one say he is off the track
now, and so I am, bat I am only on

will back on tbe maiu line again.
Did my brother farmers ever think
' why it is the - trains on our railroads
have got to running at such a breakneck
speed: why it is done to keep
our farmers supplied with bread, bacon,
and other produce which can be,
and would be produced at home if we
would only devote as much time and
* a it ns we do to our American
King Cottou. Well Mr. Editor, as
all subjects are required to bow in
submission to their king, I hope you
will pardon me when I say the cotton
produce has to bow too often to our
impoverished and ill cultivated lands
{or little or no profit, in the first place
our acreage is too great; just suppose
we eurtail oar usual number of acres
to the plow, say k and then apply to
the remainder the same quantity of
fertilizers aud compost, the same care
and cnltivation, and i contend our
profits will be greater. Wby should
we tear the experiment on a larger
scale? We the pruluiers profit can
scarcely be less. Now as to cultivation
of cotton. 1 will say it will" be
impossible^* us to agree as to the
proper mode of cultivation as we no
doubt cultivate tlic same soil, and
what would be best for grey soil
don't suit the red soil, and the fertilizer
best adapted to red soil dotrt
suit grey. So I guess we tunst ad >pt
the old woman's? plan when she
"bossed" the old bell cow, every fellow
oust himself.
Bat, brother farmer?, I will tell
you what we can agiee on solidly,
and that is what we shall wrap the
(taple in after it has been cnUivated, j
harvested and ginned. i :
