Many of the counties haTe begun work on their arch for the Columbia Centennial. What is Fairfield doing? Nothing ? The President's 0.000 mile swing can't help him. Very probably in ?92 this 9,000 mile swing will be iepeatcd, in a wholly different way though ? he wiii be swung 9,00-0 miles or mure trorn the White House?and Mr. Cleveland will be swung in. Wiiex it was a question whether any county intended to erect an arch " *"? at the Columbia Centennial, Fairfield might have been e.\cu?ed for apathy. But now that many otner counties have made arrangemrnts to erect such memorial? it wouM be a disgrace for Fairfield to l?e conspicuous by absence. It U stated thai Senator Irby has withdrawn his influence t? secure the Industrial School for Laurens because Gen. A. C. Haskell was invited to deliver an address before one of the schools in Laurens next June. Poli tics is one thing:, and business is hii- I other. There is something small about that sort of conduct. The Italians are having a hard time in Atneiica just now. The massacre in Xew Orleans was hardly over before an Italian was brutally killed in CharJctte, by a negro, and a race riot was almost precipitated thereby between the whites and blacks. It is difficult to understand from the newspaper* exactly how the state of aftairs was produced in Charlotte. The na tive citizens are very indignant ana it is stated threatened to lynch the negro. TnE Marion Star apologises to Attorney General Pope for having said before his election that he was "a lawyer." The apology is made because the editor of the Star iinds he unwittingly erred, and is convinced of his mistake after reading- his argu-* ment in the Coosaw ca?e. Our confam?uM">vc tlinnl/1 hi>nr ill milirl that as the Attorney General is a pretty good politician he would not let such a ?ood opportunity slip without a little display of his 'Stump abilities" especially when he knew that it would likely be published. Seize it by the Forelock. "Opportunity has Hair in front, behind she is bald; if you seize her by V.a Am. a'/%/?!_ ? <*,? mov llAI* hilt IUC ;wu tuu; wvi? uvi) J . if suffered to escape, not Jupiter himself can catch her again." , Winnsboio and Fairfield County now have an opportunity presented and it looks like it wiil not be seized by "the forelock," and if we don't exercise more agility it will be gone. The town has an equal showing with any in the State, and superior chances to most of them, for getting the Industrial School located here, and jet the business men, though they will admit that ii would be :t great tbin^ fur them and the county, stand with folded anus ami are severely passive so far as doing- anything towards seeming the school is concerned. This i? :it?t said in rebuke or in an unkindly spirit, but this sheet sent to the homes of our readers and friends from time to time would fall far short of ifs mission if it did not seek to arouse the public on questions that concern the welfare and prosperity of the community. We are painfully conservative and cautious in Winns bero, ana me sooner we cuscaiu some of this unnecessary conservatism lluTwreti with iithargy and indifterencc ( the better it will be for oh. We need more ?f that bold, slijjhtlr reckless, plucky spirit which enables men to , win in 'he face of great odd-. Again, we need persistence and indomitable energy that will refuse to be abated by any outside force. It is no use des pairing anu (iccianug a lunig can i ue done, w hen not a linger has beeu raised to do it. What we need right now, and need it very badly too, is a systematic, organized effort to get this school. It is al! very well for an individual here and there to say; "Weil I am in for that reboot," but that alone will do nothing towards securing it. The individuals must be organized so that there caw be a concert of action, and then what they do will be received in a great measure, as an index of the public sentiment. Effective work cannot be attained unless it is organized. Now let's get down to work in this matter, and 20 into it with the avowed determination of winning. The opportunity has come, seize it by the forelock; or some other place will, and nave us only the bald spot. Xk? Spring Medicine. nAnnlai'itr TTrtftrV* >sa)'. XUV/ <f M*V?4 A?.vvv? V saparilla has gained as a spring medicine is wonderful. It possesses just those elements of health-giving, bloodpuritying and appetite-restoring vrhich everybody seems to need at this season. Do not continue in a dull tired,, unsatisfactory condition when you mar be so mncti benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla. It purifies the blood and makes the weak strong. * V i ? BbattM ? i r | . ' The Agricultural l ollc'so Fund. ] Iu the mailer of the Congressional, appropriation for Agricultural educa- j lion in this State. Governor Tillman | is clearly right and Secretary Noble j all wrong. When our Legislature j agreed to give one-half to Clemson and i one-half to Claflin it made a perfectly equitable division. While it is here that there are more colored than white children in the Stale, yet of those that are able are likely in the near future to avail themselves of college facilities the whites are in a rerr large majority. I An equal division of college funds is therefore :i liberal provision. There is quite another way of looking st the matter, while the colored children are in the majority in the 1 colored schools, the larger portion of the common school tax is paid by the whites. It can be fairly said that no colored child in South Carolina is deferred the privileges or school. Xow all of this is a striking- proof of the liberality of whites. If Secretary Noble persists in his obstinacy he will prove himself an enemy of the colored race, by rousing a spirit of antagonism among the whites which may lead them to pat into operation the scheme that has often been suggested of apportioning to schools for each race only that part of the tuoney that is paid by it in taxes. In this case the colored people, in gaining the shadow of greater collegiate facilities would lose the substance of fuller common school advantages. IIeret?fore the friends of education j have succeeded in inducing a liberal policy towards colored schools. Sec* retary Noble will add increased difficulty to their task. We think it would be well for the colored people of the State, to inform the Secretary of the Interior that the interests of education can best be subserved by an acceptance of ihe proposition of the Legislature. lie inay a3 well understand that he could not coerce South Carolin, and his refusal to accept the fund at all will only work hardship to the colored people. Since the whites are abundantly able and willing to lake care of their own colleges. "'orter On Southern Industries. The most encouraging tribute and j commentary on the growth of the South in manufacturing enterprises is contributed br Robert F. Porter, Superintendent of the Census. It is especially deserving of great consideration, coming as it doe?, from a Republican and from one in the position of Porter, who has before him the data which enables him to speak with acAc? fiQfC ?\!V VUiiW ?XO CilV f.'IMlV ? Cj > Porter is not a Southern enthusiast, but a Northern Republican, and the manager of a bitter partisan paper in New York." This augments the sig nificance of the article written by the Superintendendent of the ccnsus for the Manufacturers' Record of this week. The development in the coal, iron ore and pig- iron has been amazing and startles the world. Mr. Porter sayg that his figures show that the South is producing as much of these as the entire United States did in 1870, and the urohahilitv is that like nro^ress will be made in the manufacture of st?el within the next decade. IIo also calls attention to the fact that this increased derelopement will necessarily attract a higher class of labor, and command higher wages thus increasing the consuming power of the South. The greatest drawback now is that many of the products have to be sent to the North for further manipulation. This, howersr, might be expected. The progress in manufactures lias been magical, but it is perfectly na turai mat tJae &outn wouia not ue prepared just now for the higher grade of work. That will come in due time. The remarkable growth of the South is made appreciable when we are told that Anniston, Ala., in 18S0 had a population of only 042, but in 181)0 it is returned at 9,876; while Birmingham was actually unknown when the census of 1870 was taken, but now has something oyer 20,000 inhabitants. Many other striking instances of this kind are mentioned. When we add to this the aew life and growth of almost every city and town in the South, while not as wonderful as Birmingham and some others, it presents a progress which the world ha* never known before. Moreover, it is a j healiuy ami stable growtn. The development has not been limited to the mineral resources. The manufacture of cotton lias been almost equally as marvelous. In 1880., 180,000 bales were consumed in the South, while in 1890 it reaches as high as 407,000 bales. The progress is exceedingly gratifying, and all the more wonderful bee.use it has been made under most adrc'-c circumstances. j iirover Cleveland. >\ e sincerely trust iuat our peopie i will not be led away frotii advocacy of I Cleveland by the attacks of auy of our leading men either in South Carolina or elsewhere. Cleveland stands to-day head and shoulder? ahead of every other Democrat 111 popularity and in the confidence of the people who are not politician?. As proof of this we ask our readers to pause and reflect whom they would nominate were Cleveland out of the race. There wis a time when the man did not count, and the election was deter-1 mined bv party allegiance. But this ! is ::ut true to-day. There arc in New i York, New Jei>ey, Massachusetts, ! Rhode Island and Connecticut alone j enough independent votes to throw the i election either way. They elected j Cleveland in 1SS4, because of Blaine's i unsavory reputation, and they would j have elected Cleveland again in spite ! of all of Quay's boodle had Harrison not been personally pure and the free ' trade scare not alienated many iu rauk >..,1 flu ?lia T^otr?rir?rai-?v rrhAOf? UUU SHU \Jl HIV/ X^Viiivv.?v . . i Independents will not take Hill, nor; Gorman, nor a Western silver man. j They will take Cleveland. Again the issue is bound to be on tariff reform, | up to which the people have been edn-1 \ * i ww rf i vri ?<a?aa?mbbmbm ?i hj?cjq catcd. In (his regard Cleveland has ! 110 rival in the Democratic party ex- j cept Carlisle and Mills and BreckenriJ^re, who are barred by*sectional j considerations. As for Democratic success in the ! West it is very doubtful. Western voters arc of the same character as j | Southerners. They have had party j ideas and prejudices deeply ingrained 1 into them. The majority are as natu- ! rally Republicans as the Southern i whites are Democrats. Already we j ; see Allianccman McGrath, of Kansas, j ; threatening to return to the Republi- j i can fold unless the Southern Alliance- j : men join a third party, wmon ive ininK j I it safe to say Southern Alliaucemen I j will not do. In this situation, to throw over i | Cleveland, who has the solid Inde- j I pendent vote of the Eastern and Mid-; ; die States at his back on a taritl' re I form issue, and pick up some Western | or Southern man in the hope of catch- j j in# Western votes at the cost of the I i East is exceedingly bad policy.

It is a trained and disciplined army. A new party, formed of recruit?, brought has'ily together, like militia, may make an overwhelming dash, but it is liable to melt away. Its issues are ephemeral. No stigma attaches to one for leaving it and returning to lifelong allegiance to an old organization. Whereas it is hard to change from Democracy to Republicanism and vice versa. | Elect a president on the single issue of silver, and when the bill is passed, where will he be? No one knows. John Tyler was picked up by Whigs because of his oppofition to the more liberal Democracy. When he became President he outheralded Herod in his war on Whig iuea>ur?s. Andrew Johnson was picked up by the Republicans tor a single merit in their eyes. He was a Union man in Tennessee and was needed to allure Southern Unionists. When he became President he was the veriest thorn in the flesh. Let the Democrats go into battle with fundamental Democratic principles as their watery. Let them select Grover Cleveland who has already made his record, whose future policy can be predicted with great certainty. They can elect hitn if they can elect anybody. We have not ranch faith in their ability to clect any one else. He will make a just President and a strong one. He will give silver every proper opportunity. He will advocate what we believe to be the ou!v possible measure to restore silver to a proper relation with gold. And he will not be a demagogue or time server or fishy politician. For all these reasons we earnestly counsel our readers to stand earnestlv i- . ni ] ? ^ uy utuver i^icvoauu as ? ?u?u jjiwvcji iii all respects and not found wanting. Pain Proved to be Comparitive. The Nineteenth Century has an article in a recent number from the pen of AV. Collier, dealing with the relative sensitiveness to pain of the auiinal kingdom. lie shows that as wedecend the scale the sensations become more blunted. Active brain workers are most susceptible to pain. With pain as a resultant, there of course exists causes, and these are mainly dyspepsia, general debility, loss of appetite, insomnia, chronic malarial, taxannia, blood poisoning, disordered liver and kidney complaint.
