Let every white voter ia South Carolina register. Sit down and think what it all means and >ome w*?e man tell ns. No conscientious reformer can calmly and deliberately approve of Governor Tillman's indifference on the liquor question.. Wonder if we Reformers will have a primary "from Governor down to coroner" this year? I reckon we will, it's a reform measure. Breckexkidge will bave the preachers to fight before he can get b :ck to Congress. Ilis influence in Congress is lost, and we can't see why he should want to go back. . - The Coxey movement, while absurd in the extreme, at least affords the country a subject for talk. "Waite, Tillman and Coxey have all acted the clovrn for the country's amusement. Senatorial courtesy is a mere matter of convenience as is illustrated by Turpie's severe arraignment of Aldrich on Monday. There can ke no excuse f?r the use of such language in the Senate. It is strange that a man should have brains and influence enough to get in Congress, and then have no better conception of government than Bell, of Colorado, seems to possess. Bis joint resolntion providing: for the government to give employment to idlers and loafers is pare and simple socialism. We are glad to see that a test case has been gotten np, and it is hoped that we shall really know exactly the status of the liquor law. The case 4 conies np from Florence. It seems that J. Ellis Brunson has been arrested by the chief of polic*, and he petitions the Supreme Court to have his body brought before thj. _Con?L^a,.it-coaId' ~?i?v jtjZtjCcc rvfituuer" or not he was held .. iu custody unlawfully. Southern generate seem to have on other end io rieve, when addressing a Northern audience, than to conviuce them of their loyalty to the Union, To half excuse the South's action in secediug is another favorite theme, and nonG are so eager iu swearing allegiance as Gordon, Herbert, and other prominent Southerners, who could with better regard to their self-respect keep quiet npon the subject. We have free liquor now, and we heard of a fight at a "big muster" the other day; it looks like we are going back to ante bellum times. "Wonder if we wont have slavery again? Perhaps we are returning to the "good old days of hog and hominy, when every man lived at home and drank out of the branch, and North Carolina whiskey passed your door at three gallons to the dollar" as Dr. Wallace said in his railroad speech a few years ago? The census for 1S90 reveals some very interesting statistics 011 the subject of marriages as pointed out by 'V/irtr vavit tow/7 Tf-_ sliaw* thf! oat of 19,602, 172 women of a marriageable age 6,233,207 or abe.it v?nev third are unmarried. It also establishes the following: That if a woman does not marry by the time she ii twenty, the probabilities arc 53 to 47 that she will not be married until she is twenty-five, and 28 to 72 that she will not be at thirty. That 63 out of every 100 women A/1 k/\ftr?AA,i fnronfv.lirA ftiul uiaui^u u^bnwv/u mvmj M>V ? >.?. thirty, fifteen years ago. The reason for the great difference is doubtless due to the fact that women have more r opportunities now .of making an independent support. It is also dedncible from the census that more women marry between twenty-five ai. thirty than fifteen years ago, but the net loss is 12 per cent. Edward Atkinson in an article written for the Forum for this month , shows by figures that the number of farms under mortgage in this country is much less than is generally believed, and the statistics show that no people have greater energy and thrift and the rapidity with which the agricultural class has paid off mortgages is ' remarkable. There are within the United States ; 4,564,641 separate farms, averaging about 137 acres each, and of which in the Eastern, Middle, Western and ] Pacific States, SO per cent are occupied : and managed by their owners. The 1 area of the United States comprises \ about 1,900,000 acrcs, and less than ( , one-third of this is occupied as farm i property. Mr. Atkinson concludes ihat the larger part of the Western farms cultivated by owners are free from any mortgage whatever, and the "Western farmers are creditors and not f debtors. by Congress in 1S90 to ascertain the extent of mortgages on farming lands.. A special bulletin was issued on the 19th of December giving the statistics I of the decade from 1880 to 18S9 inclusive, in thirty-three States and. Territories. Nearly 7,000,000 mortgages have been recorded in ten years ~ - i ?AA AAA AAA tor a total sum or nearly $y,i>w,vw,vw. In the decade 1880-1889, 9,517,747 mortgages were executed to the amount of $12,094,877,793. On the 1st of January, 1890, in thirty-three States only $4,935,45o,89G remained unpaid; in the whole United States, $G,019,079,985. Good Features of the Dltspeosary. *r ? :c /Unv V cry JLUVT pcvyn;, 11. UUJ , uvn; 1/U~v the dispensary system has many splendid features, such as requiring all sales to be made for cash, closing at six o'clock in the afternoon, and forbidding any loafing about the place. These are good points, and -we do not think that sale in packages is bad. In many instances some people will not drink unless they can get it after six o'clock, some will not unless they can loaf in an attractive bar, some will not unless they can get it by the drink and have others take it witn tnem. The sociability of a driuk is very fascinating to many people, and it too often leads to excessive drinking. The great objection to the dispensary was not to the manner in which it was conducted, but to the monopoly created by the State for itself merely for the purpose ef getting revenue. This feature alone was in conflict with constitutional rights, and there are certain principles engraved into our people by inheritance and traditions ? ' ' J i. it . J! *4.. wnico wouiq cot suuer hie UIgliliv ui a great State to be borrowed for the purpose of dignifying the liqnor traffic. It violated cardinal principles of personal liberty, and it was, therefore, most bitterly opposed. "We have now absolute prohibition, in our opinion, and we have 110 doubt more liquor is sold m this State than before. We believe that the sale *f liquor under the very strickest regulations is the only solution of the question at present, and the dispensary system * " ^ - a possesses many or tne ieaiures uuui we like. If licenses were granted in- j dividuals, requiring them to close their establishments at six o'clock, no billiard rooms, no loafing, no drinking at the bars, uo sales to persons under the influence of liquor, we believe that it would meet with a great deal of support. A large element opposed to the dispensary and a large element opposed to absolute prohibition added to the out and out prohibitionists would give this plan such a strong morai support that we believe it would be, to a very great exteot, carried out and made a very effectiyc law. It would be violated, of course, as all criminal statutes are, but we really believe that it would be far more effective than absolute prohibition. /In our opinion, the prohibitionists have a magnificent chance to test the merits of prohibition right now. The Supreme Court as we have so often ' iVvAf f l> A w. stua g^~ provides the sale of liquor by the State, which is the only provision made in the law for the sale thereof, and, therefore it cannot be sold within the State for any pnrpose whatsoever. Th# prohibitionists, therefore, have a most magnificent opportunity to test their law. TLey certainly cannot hope to pass a more stringent law. The only possible way to get. wine, lawfully, even for sacramental pur poses is to have it snipped irom anotner State. The shipping from other States cannot be prevented because of the InteV-State Commerce law. UNTO CVESAR. Who Made the Firs'; Effort? Hon#r to Whom is Due. Mr. Editor: As the day a;-preache* for Uung the corner stone of the Girl's lndastriai College at Rock Hill, the question arises, who was the originator f this movement? In order that Fairfield inav gel her dies, I beg yon to publish the following communication written to the Yorkville Enquirer. Mr. Hall is a native of Fairfield, but was living at the time referred to in Chester county. Y??urs truly, 5'AIRFIELD. As the time approaches when a State institution for the education of the young white women of our State will be completed and put in operation, I desire to offer a few remarks in regard to the enterprise. I don't know that the honor of originating the idea and carrying out the enterprise to a successful termination will be claimed by any particular person or persons, but I desire to call attention to the fact that an old soldier of the Jut; war, who was neither a colonel nor a general, and who was one of the originators of the 4 Farmers' Movement," and h*s been fightii g with the '"wool hat crowd" from etart to finish, was the first man who, so far as my ku'.wledge extends, ever offered a bill in the Legislature to establish a ??or#. itietitiirioti for the education of cur <?irls. That man was W. S. Hal!, of Chester count}-. lie was elected and sent to the Legislature from that county in 18S2. He was appointed to serve "on the committee or ways and means. Seeing that every diss of our people were to some extent provided for except the white girls of the State, he began to.agitate the matter and t? ask the question whv so much money should be appropriated by the State for the higher education of our boys, and none for the higher education ot our white girls. Clafilin College, a State institution, was then open the negro ?ir)s as well as negro boys of the 5>tat?. Ilis idea, at first, was to offer a UUI Hi liiSk'iniuuuc (tic V/iutu<;i and establi>h a State female college in its stead; but mj discussing: the question among the ineiabers of the Legislature, he ascertained that a measure of this kind would provoke too much antagonism. He prepared and submitted a bill which I think carried an appropriation of $30,000. The bill was referred to the committee on education, who referred the matter to a sub-committee, and the bill was reported favorably. Mr. Hall beiug a new member ai>d not a trained speaker, he got Colonel John C. Haskell and Geo. Johnstone to agree to address the hrti^tr in fjonr /,f ?hn hill When the bill was called up, he expected these men to discuss it. They said tbey were willing to do so, but told Mr. Hall that he, the author of the bill, must - . ~ , . I make the lirst speecn. lie not ocing : jtvpared, asked that the bil! be laid j over until the next day. When the bill was called up the nex-, day, Colonel Simouton moved to indefinitely postpone it, ps the body had too much to do, and would not have tim^ tr? dismiss and oass it during that session. Colonel Siinontou's motion ' prevailed, and that ended the matter' so tar as that bill was concerned. That bill was offered in December, 1883. Daring the interval of the sessions of 1882 and 1883, Mr. Ilall discussed the question and talked it over as opportunity presented, with the j people of his coanty. lie also wrote letters to prominent men, especially to | our senators and representatives in [ Congress. He received no replies from Senators Hampton and Butler. Representative John J. Hemphill replied by saying that he was non-committal. Representative George Dargan ?ave slisrht encouragement. Repre sentative George Tillman said that lbe time had not come for the establishment of such a school, as the men would have to be tbe bread winners for some time to come. Kepresentative J. II. Evins sent him an article on the queition, and heartily endorsed the measure. Mr. Hall, if I remember correctly, moved into Fairfield county in 1884, and did not go back to the Legislature any more. So it will be seen that tbe agitation of the question to give State aid to an institution for the education of the white girls of the State, antedates the agitation to establish Clemson College. The bill offerd by Mr. Hall was the commencement of the agitation ?f tbe ^ f Kfi Qfoto question Ol iUC UISUIUJIUHUUU I.uv had made in the matter of the education of the two sexes. I lecollect about this time, when the matter was being discnsscd, that some friend of the measure wrote an account of a visit to the Industrial School for Women of the State of Mis^is.-ippi, located, I think, in the city of Columbus. That institution has accomplished a gieat deal for the women Mississippi. It was not far trom this date that the old commonwealth of Virginia lighted the wrong that she had committed against her women, and established a State college lor her girls. So we seo this idea grew and crystauzea in ine minds of ihe people, until at last, our hearts are cheered and made glad when we iealiz:i the fact that the time has come when the girls of the State a e to be given an equal showing with the boys in the race lor an cducaiion that will fit them for the battles of life. 1 feel that it is due Mr. Hal! to call attention to the earnestness and zeal with which he has talked and worked for theestablishm ;nt of an institution of this kind in the State. And while we are rejoicing over the matter, let us not forget that W. S. Hall did what he could, and ail he could, with tongue and pen, to awaken the people of the State to a sense of our obligation to - - ? *? - -.1 prOVIUe jor IUU cuu<;aiiou v? vn? women. W. H. Edwards.

Flenniken M?ets with a Severe Accideut?His Arm Amputated?For1 > ro.rvino Tnsnrance. (The State ) The news of the unfortunate accident to Mr. D. R. Flenniken, yesterday morning was soon circulated and occasioned the sympathy of his many friends. They regretted to learn that so soon after his recent accident with the street railway that another should occur, by which he had to sutler the loss of that limb. It appears that during the recent.ex-. TTifs oHyfus a result oT ihe [ ordering out of the troops to go to Darlinoton. Mr. Flenniken borrowed a large rifle from his friend, Mr. Levin, which lie took home. For several days Mr. Flenniken had intended returning the rifle. Yesterday morning, at about half-past 8 o'clock, he went into his room where the riflle had been kept, with the purpose of taking it back to Mr. Levin. It stood up in a corner, behind a chair, and from what could be learned, Mr. Flenniken leaned over the chair and caught rti-ap mti'/'/ln with 1"i5q lo/f. hand, and in some way he stumbled, and as a result there was a collision between the rifle and the chair which brought about the explosion. The bullet took effect in Mr. Flenniken's wrist and went through to the wall. Although Mr. Flenniken had presence of mind to wrap his handkerchief around the wound, it bled rerv profusely and weakened him considerably. As soon as medical assistance could be secured it was found that the bones in the wrist had been badly shattered by the large bullet and that it would be nftcessarv to amnutate the arm below the elbow. After all of the arrangements had been made for the amputation, at about 11 o'clock Drs. Howe, Taylor, Talley and Iiav performed the operation. Mr. Flenniken at last reports was getting along very well and his friends all trust that he will sutler no greater hardship than has already ber'allen him. Since the accident on the street railway, by which Mr. Flenniken had the same arm injured, he has been a stronger believer than ever in the advisability of carrvinsr considerable accident in surance. It lias always been his pur- j pose to carry a good line of insurance | and on his frequent trips t? itcrior' po nts throughout the State, where he goes on his brokerage business, he generally buys what are known as ticket policies good for a series of days. Friday morning he went to Prosperity on a businc-s trip and 011 this occasion to?k put several thou-and dollars of acc'dent insurance i-i addition to that held by him in annual; policies. The local agents yesiemay i said that Mr. Flcntiikeu \v:is the for-; tunate possessor of about $41,000 of accident insurance, which was distributed as follows: United States Mutual $15,000,11. M. Sims, agent; American ?>f Louisville $o,0*j0, J. C. C. Levy, agent; Travellers $5,000, C. B. Simmons, agent; iEtua $8,000, P. 1). Dlalock, agent; Standard $8,000, W. U. Swaffield, agent; making a total of $41,000. The agents announce that in most cases the provision is that about one-forth of the face value of a policy is paid in case of the accidental loss of an arm. Mr Flenniken has always been, per-1 haps, the largest accident insurer in i Columbia.

Mr. Editor: Many years ago, ju-t as > soon as I jumped out of my teens, I went to traveling. I had mv day; Bill Xyc may have h:s. I was then very thick with the Britons, Desportcs and Frank (Jaillard. My travels were all published in the Herald. The weuK uncr inv icium, i was uui>?n to Kittie; it was exactly the time Mr. Elliott's house was burned down where the Baptist Church now stands. The Herald said I was married; the devil aud all the rest in the office said so. I lived right near town, and they did not have to wait Mill next day to get the "scraps." That very night a big cake, five stories high, with my coat of arms, a big sugar goose, j mounted on the top, found its way to the office. You'll be surprised some day when I tell you the superior qualities of the goose. I fought all during the war, and just as soon as it was over Kittie died. I sat down to griere, and I thought?railroads and bank stock all gone, ami niggers all gone. Neither Kittie nor I knew how to work, and I knew she had gone where she would get pleoty of nice things, and 110 work xv t nmi'f m?)tA onf-.f-nn nav on IV uv. A vau w vs. r hired labor, so this year I rented out enough land to par taxes aud buy a few clotbcs, got rid of my mules, and am alone in my glory with my pigs and my chickens Not going lo make anything but some peas and potatoes, enough t? last all the year round. My pigs can eat putatoc* and I can eat potatoes and pigs. My potato ground is all ready, but my slips are not, so not having anything to do, I thought I would try my hand at some poetry for the old folks, the young folks, and the rest of mankind in general. So here goes. TO THE BOYS. Now, boys, put by your Sunday clothes, Your Sunday boots and hats, Put on your good stout homespun clothes, Lay up your silk cravats. Then plow and dig, dig and plow, Work is 110 disgrace, You can help the old folks lift The mortgage from the^place. Be always out at sun-rise, Keep steady at the plows, Come in at early eve and help The girls to milk the cows. 1 TO THE GIRLS. Girls, lay by your finery, Put on some good plain clothes, Then don a big sun-Donnet And stoutly sieze the hoes. Do not give yourselves a task, But cach one run a race, You can help the boys to lift The mortgage from the place. Then, what wives you all will make, Can wash, can cook and sweepBut watch the boys that courting come, "Look well before you leap." TO THE OLD FOLKS.

The majority of people <iie sooner than they should. Evidence of this fact is growing daily.

JJT. ciepueu omim, on uie same duvjeiri, " Man is bora to health and long life; disease is unnatural, death, except from old age, is accidental, and both are preventable by human agencies." This is almost invariably true of death resulting from heart disease. Careless ov?r-exertion, intemperate use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other stimulants are generally the causes of this difficulty, and indifference to its progress results in sudden death, or long sickness ending in death. By the newspapers it can be seen that many prominent ana hundreds of persons in private life die from heart disease every day. If you have any of the following symptoms: shortness of breath, palpitation, irregular pulse, feinting and smothering spells, pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen ankles, etc., begin treatment immediately lor heart disease. If you delay, the consequences may be serious. For over 20 years Dr. Franklin Mile?, the eminent specialist, has made a profoun:! study of heart disease, its causes and cuic, ind many of the leading discoveries in that direction are due to him. His New Heart Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy For the cure of heart disease, as is proved by thousands of testimonials from grateful persons who have used it. James A. Pain, e<Utor of the corry, jpa., Lcaaer, !tate?: "After an apparent recovery from three months of la grippe, I fell on the street unconscious from hear, disease.
