The snow has fallen all day long And now the night has come ; And those whose hearts are crushed with wrong, And those that are gay with youth and song, Have harried-each to his home. i j Th?? lights flieh out from windows bright Where the rich and the happy dwell. With song and mirth they pass the ni^ht Their roorrs aro Siled with warmth and light, What care they for the snow that fell? Bat oat ?a the cold and pitiless snow i There is many a tottering form. ' Covered with rags from head to toe, J Mumbling, with pallid hps, his woe, He ha? no home in the storm. : And see that woman, who sits alone, Where the lights, from opposite man sions meet. I She clasps to her breast, wich a sorrowful moan, And tries to hash the pitiful groan Of her child oat there in the street Sut the winds heed not the tear dimmed eye. They pile up higher the drifting snow. The breast has heaved with its last sad sigh Both mother and child have passed on high Where there's no more cold and snow. And now, when the san has come sgain, The tidts of men's lives move on. No time for a tear or a sigh of pain For those whose hearts will beat not again, Ody : "They died in the snow alone." j Act of tue Lrgislaiure. Relating tu Jurors.

SO?TU l\ BOLIN A'S Gk?W'?H. iWar?eIIous Evidences of Thrift and Prosperity? .From thc Augusta Chronicle. To thoae of oar readers who had not kept np with the material progress o? Sooth Carolina the figures of our Co lumbla correspondent Sunday morn ing amounted to a revelation Ko State in this Union can present a more satisfactory record, notwith stmding misrule and corruption du ring a portion of the time-for the past ten years-and no State can claim with confMence a future more assuring. The first notification to the country that South Carolina had taken up with vigor her march in material things was the publication of the Tenth census H-;r increase of population was lound tobe astound ing, and her growth in agricultural and manufacturing industries was al most correspondingly large. During the past three years, hovever, the State has made giant strides. HJW better can such statements be em phasized than by reproducing the figures of our Columbia correspon dent. * * * * Verily do these statistics speak volumes for the prosperity and for1 the prospects of South Carolina. With such improvement, secured too du ring a time when a most disastrous financial panic had crippled the beat growth of the whole country, the impr- -ment of South Carolina at ' '.at period was as carked and as wonderful as her recuperaron from the blight of civil war. What more assuring argument can Kansas or Iowa or Wisconsin make for the set Clement of the immigrants, for the employment of labor or fjr the in vestment of capital than South Caro linaha8 forcibly set iorth in these Sgures ? Nor is it alone to the for eign laborer that she appeals. There is a lesson to every Southern farmer in the fact that in last year's cultiva :ion there were half a million more icres planted in grain i han in cotton The State, tco, is taking a prominent position in spinning the staple which ?rows abundantly in her lields. The productiveness of some of the cotton ailis o? Carolina has grown to be a )art of the history of Augusta, still .be following figures, taken from our ./olnmbia lafefr " intareM** n this counecMon : In 187(3 there wera looms and 54.633 spindles in the cotton milla in he Stite, and the capital invested vas $1,337,000. The mills paid in vages that year $257,680, and em- ? cloyed 1123 hands. They consumed t 700 823 pounds of cotton, and the .'alue of all t he prod lie?8 of the mills vas $1,529,937. In 1380 there were 1.77C looms, 92 788 spindles; capital oveBfed, $2 768,500; wag?s paid ?340166; hands employed, 2195j mounds of cotton consumed. 14,8f>9, >O0, and the value of all the products ?.as $3 750,770 With such a record no tears need 3e felt of the future of a great State i ir of the j ros pen ty ol a noble \ eo pie. They have secured a govern ariit as h. nest and as conservative AH any in the Union, and they h ve ^one to woik thimselveB to prove ;hat theirs is a State to be sought by ethers coming iuto this country. South karolina during the recent war suffer ;d heavi y, but in h?r : cooperation from these wrongs she hae showu ncore heroism than the conquerer of * hundred battles. Her best people ire in the fields at work ; her most ?killlui hands are at the loom, and her readiest wit* are at the wheels of government or are devising means lor the more complete develo; ment of her resources. Many oljecticna ble features of the old regime have parsed away and have been replaced by a newer, stronger and healthier j ci/ilizatiou, upheld by the dignity of ? labor and brightened by the hope of he:1 peopie Ia ante-bellum days it use \ to be the belief ot many politi cians that South Carolina longed to be the head and centre of a new Ra public of this section. Time baa changed all that, but it would be no lowering of her des iny wero her peo ple to resolve to make her one of the j N?w South in the restored Union ro rank with Georgia as an Empire State.

With Liquor Prohibits Value Placed hy Business iden on Snell Provisions. I Without much show of fanatic I and with co extraordinary exerti : on thu part of the temperance af j ties, it cannot be denied that.the 1 ?ielatio i ot the past few vears . had a very sa'utaiy effect ripon liquor rn-iEc in thia State. Th are frequent violations of the law is true; but the action of the Gene AsserrMy, confining the traine to corpor-.ied towna .-md villages a allowing the varions communities i choose for themselves whether or i whi.-key shall be sold wiihin th limita, while it may not have reduc the number of drunkards, has ct tai ed ihe con?umi.tion of aid? spirits and given a strong foothold ihe t? ruperauce peepje. Men w have became contained whiskey di i era will uanage somehow to get thi supplies, whether they live in tot or country, but the abolition, of t crcseroads dram shops has been great relief to country cominuniti and has had a good effect upon tl [iuduetrial posperity ol' the peopl j The old idea that the sak of whi key is necessary to the com merci prosperity of a place has about bc? exploded. The people o? Laurel and other towns in the Slate whi: have tried the No License plan, te tiiy thst their business was never f profitable as when there was an er tire suspension of the liquor tradi In three of tho seven new towns ;i corporatsd by the Legislature th sale of liquor is positively probibite in their charters. The charter of the Town of Mai tina Depot in Laurens County prc vides ''that the sale of into?icatin, liquors in any shape or form whatso ever within tue corporate limits o said town in hareby prohibited and thc said towu council sb '1 nc have the power to grant licence there ff.r " tur. The charter of the Town of Mc Cormick in Abbeville County pro vides that "it shall not he UTK foi foi any intendant or wardens i,o issue ? license to any person to hell ?.hy Irina of^spiritu^ prepared with such liquors in said town, and any person or pei sou? sell ing liquors, wines, beer or fruit pre? pared with auch Jiquera shall b<i eub? ject to all the penalties impose;.! by the laws o? this State as if no such license had />een granted." The charter of the town cf Madi son io Aiken County verts the rower to rsluse or grant licenses to keep a tavern or to retail intoxicate drinks m the town co 'ucii. Toe right to grant or refueelicenses to aeli liquur M ucl keep taverns in the towu ul inman in ?Spartanburg County is vested in thc town council. The Act prohibiting the sale of in toxicatmg liquors within the corr or ate limits ot the town of Mayesvilie in Sumter Couuty provides that from and airer the first day of January, 1883, it shall be unlawful lor ai y one to cell "any ardent spirits or in t xicaticg liquors" within the corpo rate limita ol said town upon the pen alty of not less than ?2>^0 line or ire prisonment lor not le>3 than six months, or both. The act also pro vides that one half of all tlJ^nnes imposed and collected fball nhl to the officer or perron detectinH reporting violations of the kw, and that the other half shall be/ turned into the county trea&uiy lot the use of the county cf Sumter. The Act prohibiting/the sale of "ardent spirits or liquors" in the Town of Wiliiaton in Barnwell County provides thal, "it shall rot be lawful for the corporate authorities of the town to ie?ue any license for such ? ?rpese," and upon tba viola tion of the provisions of the Art tba party so oiiendicg shall be fined not exceeding fifty dollars or imprisoned for not exceeding six monthr;. , The charter of the town of Summit in Lexington County has besn re ? pealed. Iiis understood that thir' i-i ri J was done in omer to prevent the sale ! of whiskey at that place. j Several billa were before the Gen eral Assembly bearing upou the li quor traffic. Every effort looking to the repeal of the local option law or the ifpeal or modification of the law imposing a State tax upon the deal ers in whiskey licensed by municipal j corporation were voted down by large msjoiities. There is no likelihood that a general prohibitory law will ho passed in this State for year?, and ? . . policy of such a measure may i well be questioned, but tho temper i ance people have good cause to hopo ' that the legislation upon this impor ! tant question will coutiune to im ! prove from year to year until the liquor traffic will be BO surrounded by conditions that its evils will be lesa damaging to eociety. To show what value business men place upon temp rance, it may bo fctatsd j'let here that ?he charters of three of the moot important cotton manufacturing compariea incorporat ed by the Legislature oontain spe i ' ci al provisions p; _ liquor within three I factories.

Why Mr. Porte Ran Away With Anaiber Man's Wife aud Children? j ATLANTA, GA., January 20.-A j sensational and romantic case has ; ju?t been brought to light on the ia j suing of a warrant by Gov. Stephens ; on the requisition of tho Governor ol' i South Carolina for the arrest of H. i G. Porte. Aboot twelve year? ago j Porte moved from Marion county, S. C., and settled near Palmetto, in thia State. He wa? accompanied by a woman who was supposed to be bia wife, and by two boys presumed to be their children. He proved to be n. ? man of industry, and won tin*- good opinion of bia neighbors, who reused to believe in his guilt when the sherill arrived with a warrant for hi? arrest on a charge of kidnapping and ob taining money under false pretense*. Porte was taken to Fairburn, whore j without reserve, he made the follow ing statement: He and & man named Smith and the woman with whom he has b eh living were raised in the same neighborhood, <aad when they werevoujrg;'?ortB'~and Smith were rjflKLrioT the woman a affection?, but by misrepresentations Smith aliena ted her from Porte and married her. A short time thereafter Porte marri ed, and the two families settled near each other and lived several year* ari neighbors. Porte and his wife lived j happily together until she died. Smith and his wife did not live so happily, ire quent ^disturbances occutring be tween them, in which Smith often beat her unmercifully. The death of j his wile camed the old ilame tor hie ! former aweeihr-art to burn afresh in Porte's brp2i-'.4 he sympathised with aer on her cruel treatment received it the bunds ot lier hui-baud. She inew that Porte still entertained lindly feelings toward her, and fr? juently importuned him to take her iway to ?orne strange place, avorvingl .hp.t fihe still loved him and empress* j ag penitence for the way she had j1 reated him in marrying Smith. He ? 1 .efaeed to be anything more than a I ' ympathiiing friend, on ac-ount of h h ? friendly relations that existed be-1J ween Smith and him^li". Smt?hj1 nd been prosperous in business un- j 5 il he became ^dissipated, when he j ^ ;ot fin?moia!iy embarr&.s?ed, and re- ! * '^lUli CB I..'.H"......1'i'll" a.J' t.M.Y" rOTti and afrked him to apsi?t him in saving part of his property from hi? cedit ors. He had tu mod over f-orae co'? ton to Torte tc sell for him in bi? own name. Porte sold it and too? the proceeds-?200-to Smith'a hon* to deliver io Lim. When, he arriysc Smith was jost leaving the house and ou geing in Porte found Mr* Smith prostrate on the door bleeding from wounds received from her hus band. He helped ber up and washei the blood from her face, paid th* '?or.ey to her io:' her husband, anc started to leave, when she clung tc aim und begged him to take her wiri him and ?ee to a distant country promising him to live with him if h? would do so. Yielding to her re q-test Porte took Mrs. Smith and hei two children and eloped into Georgia where they have lived in undi^turbec haDpiness for twelve years. Smith hiving le-med of their whereabouts, he made a preposition to Porte that if he would return the children, fur nituie and the two hundred dol?an he would compromise the case. Th? j grand jury, however, will have s^me' J^iug to any about it. Mr. William Crarrkshaw, wno ha; had large p.tperi??rce'iii rotton mill ing in England and in India, in ? letter to the Railegh (N.?.) Or ! makes some BUggesticnaVwbich ari j worthy the consideration ot any on? ! contemplating embarking in cottor ' manufacturing in the South. Mr Crankihaw is satisfied Englsnd ha1 nothing to fear from New EnglatK competition in cotton manufactory but. ho is confident tlmt e.be will bftVi more to :e?r 'rem the southern State: if they will in the future build b^ttoi mills than have hitherto been buil in North Carolina. He Fayfl tbi machinery should be such a? wil turn off the greatest quant ty of wor? 11 with least cost. The advantaged o ?

We- simply say I what we consider your prorata share j of theamouut, and in the Mastern name ask you to give it, and leave it j ?o you to say whether you will cr not. Our mission work, both nt borne and abroad, is being enlarged This, of course, means more money, and this implies that churches and individ?ala must increase their contnbutions, or the work of the Lqrd will be hinder ed. We most urgently appeal to the pastors of our churches to eiert them selves in this matter, and the mer? ! so 03 we will cot have the aid o? the ] Oorreaponding Secretary, in raising I our quota for 8tate Mission* thin year.' The State Board hs? appropriated ? $400 for work in our .Association this I year. This ie about one-half of what oar churches contributed for State ! Miseions last year. God h tiri most abundantly blessed us during the pastyear ; nowletus "bring the tithes ?Dto the store house" that we may re ceive the still greater blessing which tho Lord is ever ready to bestow.
