PRINTER'S INK IS KING.
There is a host of men who boast
Of powder, cotton, steam ;
Bat every hour the mighty power
Of printer's ink is seen.
It moves tho world as easily
Aa does some mighty thing,
And reen proclaim in despots' ears
That printer's ink is king !
Tho man of gold, of wealth untold,
Printer's ink may scorn,
Or knit his brow, nor deign to bow
To one so lowly born ;
But printer's ink has built its throne
Where minds their tributes bring,
And Clod's most gifted intellects
Shout printer's ink is king I
King of thc world of thought, relined,
No abject slave it claims ;
Where superstition's victims pine,
It bursts their servile chains.
In every clime, in coming years,
Will mon proud anthems sing,
And round the world the echoes float,
That printer's ink is king !
Sam Jones' Tent.
Cloth to Cover Vive Thousand People
to be Spread on Greene Street
Preparing tor the National
Holiness Campuieetlng.
Augusta Evening News.
The.Sam Jones tent will be brought
to Augusta in a few weeks and spread
in the vacant lot in front of St John's
Methodist Church fer the great Octo
ber meeting.
This tent will hold five thousand
people, and its dimensions are 100 by
ISO feet. It will be floored and filled i
with seats, and the tent itself is wa
ter-proof. Sam Jones eays he never
knew rain to interfere with religion,
and he has preached to as big crowds
under that tent in the rain as when
the sun was shining. The tent was
constructed while he conducted the
big Nashville revival, and he is now
using it at his old home in Carters
ville.
ThiB tent will be used for the Na
tional Holiness Camp Meeting, which
will open in Augusta on the 3d of
October, and remain in 6ef sion ten
days and perhaps longer People
will come from all over the Union, and
the preparat.ons are about complete
for the session. Visitors wi?l pay their
way, and all who will take boarders
during the meeting should leave their
names at Pendleton's book store. It
in utterly impossible for th? hotels to
accommodate the crowd for there will
be several thousand visitors. It is
hoped, therefore, by those in charge
of the meeting, that ali citizens and
housekeep ?i s who aro willing to board
visitors for a few days will make the
fact known.
The great tent will ba centrally lo
caled near St. Join/.- church, in which
lhove?wbo cannot get seat*, eau ad
journ for special services. The tent
itself is too laige for the space in the
vacant lot, and will extend out in the
street about fifty feet or to the park.
Tho authorities have granted this
permission, and thc immense nfl'dir
and the coming lo the city will be the
centre of interest in the early days of
October.
Pensions.
South Carolina has never we think
been accused of the proverbial in
gratitude of Republics. But it seems
to us sho might wit.h some show of
truth be accused of a degree of negli
gence in that nhe has not made pro
visions for thc care of her disabled
and maimed Confederate soldiers. It
is true that the number is not very
large of this class, who cannot obtain
a livelihood of some sort in this favor
id country. It is true also, that
within a few years thc political condi
tion of the State made it out of the
question, to do more than save the
?State from the clutches of the thieves
and vandals that then bad her in con
trol. It is furthermore true, that not
until quite rcceDtly has the State been
in a financial condition to warrant
her iu assuming the burden of a pen
sion list. But there is PO doubt now
of her prosperity. Our observations
confirm the report ol the statistics
that the State is on the high road of
prosperity.
Daily we eee tome veteran of the
war with an empty sleeve, or a wood
en leg, or who is suffering from the
effects of exposure and wounds, and
we are impressed with the fact that
the State that called upon them for,
and accepted their aid in her hour of
need, should not forget nor neglect
them in her day ot prosperity and
plenty. The widows and orphans of
dead Confederate soldiers need help
that they cannot and will not ask for.
Surely the State will come to their
aid. She owes it to those who gave
their lives and limbs in her defense -
AlbcviUc Messenger.
Such speeches as that of Senator
Sherman a few days ago cannot do
any harm when the antidote of truth
is piomptly applied by newspapers of
his own section. Senator She: man
labored very hard to convince the
people of Ohio that the colored peo
pie in the South are denied the right
to vote, but the Springfield Republi
can reminds him that in the eleven
States which seceded, Mr. Blaine re
ceived 775,000 votes, against Mr.
Cleveland's 1,040,000. "There was
probably some suppression or intimi
dation of tho colored vote in South
Carolina and Mississippi," says the
Republican, "but elsewhere theSouth
never had a fairer election," and Mr.
Cleveland "could have spared both
those States and still have been elect
ed." So it is-at. the Republican says
-"fake and wicked to charge that
he owes his election to crime or
climes."-IVaos and Courier.
The tenacity with which people abide
by their early faith in Ayer's Sarsa
parilla can only be explained by tho
fact that it is the best blood medi
cine ever used, and is not approached
in excellence by any new candidate
for public favor.

Prohibition and the Presidency.
CINCINNATI, September 14-The
Prohibitionists are making thia year
the strongest canvass that they have
ever managed in Ohio. Dr. Leonard,
their candidate for Governor, has ad
dressed Borne very large meetings.
The main point of his speeches is that
prohibition ib the foremost issue in
American politics, that it is to destroy
one of the two great parties by ab
sorbing the best men in both of them,
and that the consequence will be the
breaking up of the solid South. This
is in harmony with the private con
versation of the leading Prohibition
ists here, who express the belief that
the South i? ripe for just PU ch a move
ment, and who have even goue so far
as to name Colquitt of Georgia aa
their probable next candidate for
President.

A Boy Should nave a Trade.
What about the boy who does not
take up with a trade or profession?
Look around you, the question is
speedily answered. He must cast bia
j hook into any sert of pond, and take
such fiah as may be easily caught. He
is a sort of tramp. He may work in
a brick-yard to-day and in the har
vest field to morrow. He does the
drudgery and gets the pay of the
drudge. His wages are so small that
he finds it impossible to lay up a dol
lar, and a fortnight of idleness will
see him dead broke.
And now, my boy, if men tell you
that the trades are crowded, and that
so many carpenters, and blacksmiths,
and painters, and shoemakers, and
other trades keep wages down, pay
no attention to such talk.. Compare
the wages of common and skilled
workmen. Take the trade which you
seem fitted for. Begin with a deter
mination to learn it thoroughly, and
to become the best workman in the
shop. Don't be satisfied to skin along
from one week to another without be
in'4 discharged, bul ranko your ser
vices valuable by being such a thor
ough workman that your employer
cannot afford to let you go.
The Now Fontal Card, which will
be furnished to all the postofficea in
a few days, is to be a model of neat
ness in style and quality. Nearly all
the postoffices in the country have
their supply of cards exhausted, and
it wil! not bo long befo.e the old post
al card, so to speak, will be a dead
letter. The cards should have been
in the hands of the postmasters some
time ago, but their appearance has
been delayed by the failure of the
company which had the contract for
their manufacturo to get them out as
per agreement. The paper in the
new caids is much superior in quality,
texture and finish to that in the old
cards, and in color ia a light cream. The
design, printed in dark brown, is as
follows : On the upper right hand
corner of the card, in an oval frame,
ia the head of Thomas Jefferson. The
face of the vignette is three quarters
full, looking to the left, and ia sur
rounded by a wreath of laurel and
oak, tied with a ribbon bearing the
words, "One Cent ' and the number
.? 1." On the left, at the top of the
card, are the words, M United States
Postal Card," the words, "United
States" being in plain white letters
on a curved and partly folded scroll,
and the words "Postal Card" being
in dark, ornamental letters, enclosed
in straight, unshaded linea, with a
rosette at each end. Immediately
under the scroll is a email white star,
below which is a long tablet contain
ing thirteen atara. Below the whole
design are the words, " Nothing but
the address to be written on this eide."
The total cotton crop of the United

Died of Fright at a Voodoo.
Four Colored People Give Up The
Lives Because ol' n Conjurer.
HKNDERSONVILLE, N. C. Sept. 8.
At Brevard lived Henry MeOorkl
colored, with his wife and four chi
dren, aged respectively, nine, Hevei
five and two years. Three or for
days ago a colored woman name
Carver came there, Baying she wno
Voodoo doctrees. They gave h<
shelter and she remained there tint
yesterday when she and McCorkl
became involved in a quarrel and L
ordered her to leave the house. Sh
left in a rage, saying she would cor
jure the whole family. Thie frighter
ed McCorkle, who offered to let he
come back again, but she refused. Sh
went to a stream near by and gathej
ed some mud which she made into
ball, placed in it several hairs froi
her head and six crooked pins. Sh
then returned to McCorkle's houp
and after pronouncing some gibbons
she fell on her knees and th ew th
"conjure ball" against the door c
the bouse, where it adhered. Mc
Corkle was half crazed with fear am
begged the woman to remove th
"conj are ball," but she refused an<
left the place.
In a few hourBMcCorkle complain
ed of feeling ill, and soon afterward,
his wife was compelled to take he
bed. Before nightfall all the childrei
were ill and complained of griping
pains in the back and stomach. I
neighbor who happened to be pass
ing came to Hendersonville and se
cured the services of two physician!
who repaired to the spot. They founc
McCorkle dead and his wife dying
and before assistance could be render
ed she was dead. Emetics were ad
ministered to the children, the phy
sicians suspecting poison. Two chil
dren died before midnight. The othei
two recovered. An autopsy reveah
that no trace of poison could be found.
Local Option in Georgia.
The Result Achieved by a Long Prohi
bition Campaign.
ATLANTA, GA., September 10.
The Local Option bill has been pass
ed by the HOUBO as it came from the
Senate, and is now a law. The bill
provides that upon tho application for
prohibition signed by one tenth of tho
voters in any County, the Ordinary
Bhall hold an election to determine
whether or not spirituous liquors
shall be sold in that County. All
persons qualified to vote for members
of the General Assembly are qualified
to vote in this election. The tickets
shall be written '* For Sale" and
" Against S.tle." If the result of the
election should be against the sale
the Ordinary Bhall give notice once a
week for four weeks and the Act
shall take effect as soon as the rc
Bult is ascertained, [except as to tho
vested rights of persons whose an
nual license lins not expired, if
the result of the election should be
for sale," no other election on the
question Bhall be held in that Com ty
within less than two years. When
any County goes "against the sale"
no person shall sell or barter, direct
ly or indirectly, or give away at his
place of business, or furnish at any
other publio place, any alcoholic, spir
ituous, or malt liquors, or any other
drinks which produce intoxication.
Nothing in the bill is to prevent the
manufacture, sale and use of domes
tic wines or cider, or the sale ol wines
for sacramental purposes, provided
they are not sold by bar rooms at re
tail.
Licensed druggists will not be pre
vented from selling or furnishingpure
alcohol for medicinal or scientific pur
poses. No election can be held m any
place where the sale of spirituous
liquors is directly prohibited either by
high license, local option, or other
legislation, BO long as these local laws
remain in force. This is the Local
Option bill, which represents the
climax'of a long prohibition campaign.
It is probable that under its provi
sions nearly 100 elections will bo
held in this State between now and
the end of the year.

Tho Farmers.
The farmer is now hunting around
lo Imy seed oats, seed barley, seed
wheat and everything else he needs
to put into the ground. This is a
pretty state of affairs for a coinnlG
nilv that protends to have fannerafas
the dominant and controlling element
and who pay the taxes and run thitgs
generally. We have a good climate
and soil. Labor is all that ia need sd
but it must be wisely directed. Tie
owner of the land must take char'
of it. Ile cannot afford to let a,
ant with a lean ox take the
mont of his affairs. He ransC
hand and must have a small amou?
of common sense.
Farming is the beBt and surest cad
ing. The man who follows it is nev||
in danger of starving. He can
ways have something to eaVand somij
thing to clothe himself and familj
He can have it with light work ar
small expense. A good living isa
dead sure thing.
But the farmers of the country will
not write on anything 'intended for
their good. They will find fault kt??
split up into adverse factiona.without
the alighteat excuse. If one has
found out how to save money by a
new way of ploughing he would not
tell another the secret for all the
world. In many other like instances^
they are secretive and do not commu- j
nicate to each other mattera of the |
most vital importance to the prosper
ity and success of the occupation.
All other occupations have leagues,
unions and associations but the farm
ers will have none of it unless it isa
kind of secret organiz ition like the'
Grange which made more money for |
the man who got it up than for every
man, woman and child who waa ad
mitted to it.
The inspiration of the thing was
wrong. In fact it was an attempt to
kill out the merchants by force and
arin* as if they were all a thieving, op
pressive and unconscionable set. No
man made any [hing out of the Grange
except to get an insignificant office
aud wear a brown linet, apron at a
country barbecue. Of course the
farmers furnished the barbpcuo and
were at Hie expense. The town crowd
and thu boys sud girls om th? coun
try had the fan and profit. Tho fann
ers didn't get their goods any cheaper
and went on in the same obi wav
raising cotton Mini lui vint' everything
needed.
Thing/, will be no better however
uni i I the fanners luke I hi tigs into
their own haudn. As long as they
come to town and allow three or four
lawyers to conduct their meetings
they will never be any belter than
th ry are now.-Abbeville Medium.

We insist upon it, notwithstanding
tho natural demoralise ilion among our
planters, that South Carolina will
nuke 700,000 bales of 100 pounds
weight this year.
We reach these figures by a system
of averages from period to period,
which will be lound far more reliable
than this or that man's demoralized
view of things. South Carolina near "|
ly always undervalues her crop in her
estimates, whilst Georgia overvalues
hers.
This crop in South Carolina would
call for something over 7,000,000 bales
of 400 pounds for the country. Such
a crop ought to command good fair
prices, with anything like a reasona
ble revival of business. It positive
ly does no good to understate the
crop. The result is always a veiy
hurtful revulsion as the honest truth
comes to light. And there are too
many people watching the facta to
escape the truth of things long -

They use no chips, and nothing less

ante is $5, and it ia a j ick pot game
exclusively. Say there are eight
players ; the play begins with $40 in
.the pot. Nothing less than a pair ol
jacks can open the pot. Frequently
there is $120 or more in the pot be
fore anybody can open it. If any
body holds anything better than a
single pair it is incumbent upon him
to raise the pot-he must do it or
pass out. Blinds, straddles and
raises are unlimited, and bats are
limited only to $1,000. The most fun
in the game, however, is in the pre
liminaries before the draw. Fre

it is a great sport to watch the jolly

As you walk our streets you will

them to leave off the use of tobacco.
It will of a certainly cause nervous

their bodies and undei mines their
health, and destroys their mental

else will res'oro them to their wonted

There is a Strangs c?so of ?dory in
Rmdolpb county, N. C. About five
miles from Trinity college thorn lives
a man by the name of Jehu H ',
who is about G5 years old anil wea
born an idiot. He has Iwen chained
to a staple driven in Ihe floor nearly
the whole of bis life. At times he ia
very violent, and were he to g"t loone
he would doubtless kill any perron
willi whom he came in contact. It ia
said that he takes large hickory slicks
of wood out. of the fireplace and tears
them into shreds with his teeth and
lingerH. Ile can drink cnii'fA boiling
hot and eat food HS hot. as fire can
make it., apparently without suffering
any pain. Property enough was left
him by his father for his support.
The Stock Law ought to be amend

ture. As it now stands, a cow or a
hog may trespass upon the growing
crops of a farmer and commit much
injury thereto, and leave the hold be

of lbs depredation. Under such cir
cumatances, it. strikes us that no pro
vision is made for the recover) ol
damages hy the person sustaining the
loss, except by snit instituted to re
cover damages ; whereas, it top plain
