Good-night, sweet year, that brought t"> me j
Dear friends to love, rare wealth to hold, j
That. <rava me flowers for memory i
More precious far than fleeting gold,. j
Good-night, sweet year, wherein I reud
Full many a page with rare delight;
Thy latest hour will soon have fled
0, pleasant year, sweet year, good-night! j
Good-night, sad year, that reft away
Some hopes I cherished; gave the pain j
Of disillusion; dimmed the day
With weeks of labor wrought in vain.
Good-night, sad year, that sometimes knew '
My pLUow wet with bitter tears
Good-night, sad year, that drlfteth too
Far hence on Time's black sea of years. j
Withe ve&r. that to the home
Came smiling with so gay a face,
Bad6 roses bloom in hall and room,
Sent small feet pattering through the place
That woke such b^lis of melody
As touch the eternal chords that ring
Where evermore the ransomed be
Aad saints for aye behold the King.
Good-night,brave j ear, that gave me strength
And he ped my will to overcome
In struggles, where the foe, at length
Baffled and beaten, left me dumb.
Yet thrilling with victorious sot g!
Good-night, brave year! I fain would keep
Thy secret still to right the wrcng,
But thou art weary. Kest aad sleep.
Good-night, 0 year most sorrowful,
Seen from the earth side, ache and los3
And clouded dawns, and dear ones gone,
Have deeply stamped thee -with the cross.
Good-night. 0 sorrowful, sweet year,
Swsel. with the promise of the day,
Where heaven's own morning shall appear
And all the shadows See away.

The new constitution of this State
establishes qualifications for voters
which will disfranchise a large per
cent of the colored vote of this state.
After the first of next January any
person who registers for any election
in South Carolina must be able to read
ana write any section of the state cones^?
"atituuoi>snd must show that he owes
{>roperty in the state t the value of at
east $310, and that he has paid all
' * li.
taxes oil the same icr xne preceumg
year. The Atlanta Journal ^ says
* 'these provisions are more exclusive
than any which have ever been adopted
in any state for the restriction of
tae ballot, but as there is no discrimi
nation on account of race or previous
condition of servitude, there is no con
"llict with ar?v amen'frtte^tto the Fed_
eral constitution. fori
many y*&rS. and up to a recent date, j
ii im i i 1 that voters should own at j
at least $175 worth of real estate in
Rhode Island. There is a movement
in Louisiana to establish an education
al qualification for voters, and Mississippi
already has one. Massachusetts
has had an educational qualification
for a long time, and Connecticut re
cently adopted a constitutional amend
ment wnich requires that voters must
not only be able to read (as was before
nrovided). but thev shall be able to
read and writs the"English language.
In nearly all of the states which receive
large foreign imoaig?a&?n^it is
now-iequireti-of applicants for "nstu
?^?dization that thev shall be able to
read and writs Eaglish. It appears
that South Carolina is doing just what
other states are doing when it shapes
her laws so as to give protection from
the ignorant voteThe Philadelphia
Reoord sees no justice in the criticisms
of South Carolina's policy, which
come from certain quarters. It says:
4'The disfranchisement of the larger
half of the population in South Carolina
has been severely criticised in
many northern journals, which, at
the same time insist upon making
quite as harsh and stringent regulations
with respect to naturalized citi
asns and alieas^f-j^SJBg^for naturali
zation. In tfcs they arei^nsisteat.
' " The ?gpcfilB-gnt made during"' -tke-??-- -r-r
riod o? reconstruction in South Carolina,
when thenegroes by their dominance
at the polls were masters of
the situation and gt ve signal proof of
their inability for self-government, j
goes far to justify whatever self-pro |
tecting measures have since been tak }

The Hops of tha Soutli.
An exchange says the salvation of
the South, and, in fact, of the entire
republic, depends upon the improvement
of country life. If we in America,
with all our superb natural advau
tages, cannot make cur country people
prosperous, happy and c nientod
20 people ever will. Ominous indeed
is the outlook for the future if we fail!
to maintain a high standard of civili- 5
in mir rntsl communities The I
country people are the foundation of j
our prosperity and peace, and if we i
y '^Dermit them to become poor and de-j
^ ?^ed there will be no hope for the
towns 5>hd cities, and the nation will j
rot in corruption, as have all other;
nations that neglt^ted or debased their j
rural population. iSyery word of the j
above is as true as gospel, and the:
sooner there is a chs?nce for the better!
in a financial sen/se among the farm?rs j
Uli^gaiiaf.T-y the better iJ will be for
J every calling and profession, as they i
are dependent on the tillers of the soil. j
It seems to us that some how or other :
things have been turnod upside down. 1
Instead of the farmers, who make all |
the wealth of the country, being in a
prosperous condition, they are as a (
rule hard pressed from year to jear :
to make ends meet. With such a con- 1
dition of things how can the country !
prosper? If every farmer in the Unit i
6d States was prosperous every other
business and professional man would >
likewise be prosperous- This k too
plain to need argument. Yet when :
it comes to legislation the wishes of a 1
fartr Wall et.rpft!". camhlpw
have more weight at Washington than
the millions of farmers. The farmers [
have the remedy in their own hands '
and they ought to apply it.
A Disgrace to Journalism,
Such newspapers as the New York
Worid are a disgrace to the profession
It employs some of the most notorious j
criminals in the county as c* respon- '
dents A few Sundays ago it pub
lished letters from twelve murderers ;
in different parts of the U nited Slates
in wiiich the views of those malefac
tors upon t?te subjects of the guilt or
innocence of M.ar;.n Thorn and Mrs.
Nack were given. In order to en- j
hance the value of their communications
the World published pictures 1
lustrating the murders which his distinguished
correspondents committed
T.he letters, with the realistic pictures,
constituted a "feature" of tie World.
Is it any wonder, asks the Boston Republic,
that crime is on the increase?
Those who are weak minded; ihes*
who crave for notoriety ar.d these who
have homicidal imnulse a d ia tb^se
publications an incentive to commit
cime They know tnat they will be
come objects cf curiosity acd that the:will
be lion ztd if they commit mur
ders characterized by extreme brut*li
ty. Mrs. Nack is a woman who, by
her own confession, is a moral leptr to
be shunned by ail dec- ct men and
women. Her paramour and accocu
pjj.cc is t^iaiiy revuJtiEg as a spicz
_ jnenof huraini'-y. Yet through the

Gocd Farming \
The Anderson People's AdvocaJta j
has the following in regard to the\
champion corn-raiser of the Piedmont
section: We mentioned a year sgo <
the remarkable crop of crrn raised by <
Mr. W. Q. Hammond on 150 acres of ]
bottom laud on Rocky river aggre- <
orntTncr nvftr f> flOO mish^is. The nrt-s- 1
?"w ? ? ? - t i
eot yea" he ha* done even better than
ibst. He p'aned 110 acres of bottom <
land and cas just fin shed gatbe-ingr <
the corn which has \ielded him 7,400 <
bushels, or a fraction over 67 bushels <
to tr.e acre. This is a wonderful crop. ,
la addi ion to tbat he has gathered <
about 350 bales of cotton fie'd <
weight-', as noae of it is gianed yet. ]
Th:? crop has c st him he says, a cash j
outlay of about $6,000- At $25 a bale <
his cotton will pay the expense of i
makirg the cop and leave him a net j
profit of $2,750 and all his com. Or
if the coru were sold at the current
market price of 60 cen s it would
bring $1,440, pearly enough to pay 1
thv exper^e. He has 26 zr>u es on his '
farii and his f?rna operatiors have 1
been conducted by a force of 35 con- 1
victs. Besides tnis he raises 1,000 1
bushels of ca's. He inform* us that 3
his corn crop would h^ve bten larger <
bus 15 acres of it wsie badly damaged J
by cut worms He says he had several I ]
acr*s ttsat pr' duced over 100 bushels j?
to the aero. A iid besides he now has |
cjq hand a quaot'ty of his last year's- ?
crop of corn for s*le. Tais is the most I,
.'uccessful -xam;jle of good farming } ]
we know of. i'

No Extension Thla Year. ^
The Columbia State says "from va c
rious portions of the State havj come
inquiries ?s to the likely hood of the
time for the paj ment of taxes beiog f
extended beyond the payment fis?-d ]
by law, December 31. Tnese ir quiries *
hav? come from citizens in some in i
stances and in many otber instances ?
from county officials. Is appears that ]
in many of the counties, in fact near ;
ly ail of them the taxpayers are very ['
iar behind wilh the payment oi theit. ,
taxes. In view of the anxiety about
the matter Gov. Eilerbe and Com ^
trailer Epton, who alone have ihz i
authority to grant the extension, have
talked ever the situation thorough^
and recently the governor made t^ie
positive announcement that thore- would
be no exiention of time grai/ted
this year. The announcement is yhus
made in order to give the taxp&fyers .

wnich to pay their tt^g^befor^ ?he

iNcwthattne <?g?nog season is.a
hand, aca the demand for eggs is ap
poaching flood tide?prices in the
cities ranging from 20 to 30 cents a
dczen?it is not a bad time to emphasize
for the benefit of our own people
a suggestion which appears in the
Greenville News, as follows:
4 The markets are never glutted with
chickens and eggs. There is always a
ready sale fcr thorn somewhere and in
ihese daTS.of quick transportation they
can be shipped fi*rm South Carolina to
any point in the Unit d States or Europe.
Not on the globe is there any
better climate for the production of
poultry than South Carolina's There
area thousard reasons why South
Carolina should produce for export
millions of domestic lowls. and one of
them is that theie is good monsv in it.
If a half a dczen South Carolina farmers,
lirtd of raising 5 cent cotton,
would turn themselves entirely to the
prr auction cf cbicsens and eggs, devoting
ah their energies and intelll
gence to the work, we believe that
they would earn good profits and set
a valuable example to their fellow
citizens."
Commenting on the above the Au
gu*ta Chronicle says;
There are juat two things in the way
oi success in chicken raising, for market,
among cur people. First they
take it up as a fad, and buy some
fancy breed cf chickens at a fancy
price. They build all sorts of fancy
calculations on the prcfita from chickens
and eggs, at fancy prices, and
when their hatch turns out badly, or
the little chicks are eaten by cats and
rats, or disease gets among their promising
flocir, and death takes cff the
crofi-s of a whole season's work they
become discouraged, cuss out and
quit.
Or, on the other hand, they go into
the business on too large a scale to
begin with, without proper preparation,
without experience, without any
knowledge whatever of the habits,
anatomy or diseases of chickens. Tiiey
go into the business without any correct
idea of the,expense attached to it,
or without any intention of giving to
tbe business the study, time and labor
that would be required in any other
field of endeavor. The result is financial
loss and disappointment, but in
neither of these cases is loss due to the
business itself. There are many men
and women making their livelihood
on the products of chicken raising.
Tha trouble arises from a want of
knowledge of the business.
Tl . V ? 1 f
.Kaismg rancy Diras ior cnicKen
shows is one line of the business, and
raising chickens and eggs for market
is quite another. The man who goes
in?o the business should fully determine
which branch he intends to follow.
Then he should start into the
business modestly, and build it up as
his knowledge increases with experience.
If he could spend some time on
the chicken ranges of an experienced
poultry min it would prove a great
benefit. If it is to be followed for
profit, it must be treated in a business
like way, and dignified as a business,
and not treated as a side issue or a
fad.
Commenting on the paragraph
which I nave quoted from the Green
ville News, the Charleston News and
Courier quotes some of the government
statistics cn the chicken aod
esrg product of the country as fol
lows:
"It is estimated by competent authority
on the basis of the leports in
the last census, that we now have
350 000 000 chickens, which produce
ibcut 13,750,000,000 eggs annually,
At the average price the eggs are
T'orth to the poultry men ana farm
ers $165,000,000, while tbe tale of
poultry brings them $125,000,000 more
making a total of $290,000,000 to be
placed to the credit of the small but
truly great American hen.
"As compared with these figures it
may be noted that the value of the
wool clip of the country is $38,147.
45y; oi an tnesneep. is $oo.iD/,yzo; ci
all the hogs, $186 529,945, and of'all
the mules $103,2C4 457. The total
value cf the potato crop again is $88,984
901; of the tobacco crop, $35 574.220;
of the wheat crop $238 918,998,
and cf the cotton crop $359,164 640,
The total schools expenditures for the
country is $178 215,556 The net
earnings of railroads is $323,016,454,
and the whole cr*st of thepostoffice department
is $90,626,226."
That "silver Crizs"
The decision of the English cabinet
not to join in an international monetary
ccuccil has been greeted by the
Republican press as "a crushing blow
to the silver cmz*" in ibc United
States. Were the silver craze based
on the theories held by the speculators
and money changers of Lombard
street, instead of upon the sad and evil
experiences of twenty-four years ol
demonetization, there might be some
ground for the expression of an opin
ion that the cause of bimetallism had
received a "'crushing blow." But the
people of this country have teen
plunged too deeply in disaster and
nave lost too much in th? value of
their property and are suffering too
greatly from depressed business to
forget that the cause o all this dis
tress and loss and suffering is the gold
standard, which England wishes to be
maintained. This stupid talk on the
part of Republican editors is discounted
almost daily by their own news
columns, and yat they persist in babbling
about the "dying out of the silver
cr?i2 3." The Manufacturers of
Philadelphia admits that the "revival
of industries is hampered by the small
amount of money available," and says
'hat this fact "gives the free silver
demagogue a powerful text in the inadequate
suppJy of money and puts
his readers or hearers into a receptive
mood for false doctrines." Thus this
gold advocate admits a fact and denies
the inevitable conclusion in the same
paragraph. Tne Democrats maintain
that there can never be a sufficient
supply of money with which to do the
business of this country on a gold ba
sis, and the facts confirm this contention
Taking simply this one phase
of the question, is it not clear that, no
matter what England may say or do,
the "silver craze" cannot die out in the
United States.

(I bly certain of reaching

the merey of totally
oncertain elements. No track, no course,
no rudder, no certainty that any breeze may
not bring destruction.
So with the sick man. His disordered
constitution renders every natural operation
uncertain. No organ can be depended on
to do its normal work. The atomaeh will
not digest food; the liver will not filter bilious
poisons from the blood; the kidneys
and skin will not excrete the waste. No
regnlar nourishing or purifying process is
gom% on. There is no certainty except the
certainty of suffering.
In all dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated conditions,
what re needed is to change the abnormal.
erratic ooer&tions of the svstem
into a natural, regular, straightforward progress
in the right direction. Nothing in the
world will do this so rapidly and certainly
as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It directly regulates the vitalizing functions.
It sets the stomach and liver into
natural, healthy operation and gives the
blood-making glands power to manufacture
an abundance of pure, .rich blood.
It creates appetite; builds up muscular

neuralgia. As it can be assimilated by the
weakest stomach, its nourishing properties
are ftr superior to nauseating cod liver oil
in evere coughs and all wasting diseases.
