rHOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 189?. An extra session of Congress seems now to be a necessity, but will probably not be called uutil summer. It is not generally known that a son of President Tyler will be a member of the next Congress. He will represent the 2d Virginia dis trict The sale of the South Carolina Railway, which was to have taken place in April next has again been postponed. It is now thought that it will be at least one year before it is sold. The flag carried by Pizarro and his followers during the conquest of Peru will be a notable object in the Venezuelan exhibit at the World's Fair. The sword of Cortez will be exhibited from Mexico. The Oates bill for the refunding of the cotton tax which we paid way back yonder in '66, '67, and '68 has been reported upon favora bly by the committee to which it was referred in the national house of representatives. The writ of habeas corpus in the railroad cases will be heard by tho Supreme Court at Washington on the 6th of March. Gen. John Randolph Tucker of Virginia, the * great constitutional lawyer, and J. . J. Darlington, Esq., ot Washing ton, have been retained by tho State, through the instrumentality of Sen. Irby, and these will be the leading counsel in the case. Chief Justice Paxton has resign ed from the Supreme Bench of Pennsylvania to accept the re ceivership of the Reading rail .'. r'oad.-Ex. There must be something radi .cally wrong somewhere when a judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania resigns his position to become the receiver of a rail road. We in South Carolina are not up on the receivership busi > ness nor do we really understand how these creatures of the Federal Courts get such fine pickings from the railroads. Receiver is the proper title; they receive much and pay out little, and even fight the. payment of the taxes to the State under whose charters and by ^'whose permission they are allowed to live, move, and have their being. RIGHT KIND OF A JUDGE. Here are ?orne remarks made by Justice Lynn,, of the.first (New York) district co?rt. South Caro lina wonld like to have just such a Federal Judge : ? The case was that of an insur ance comyany, in which the latter attempted to avoid paying about $150 on a policy, on the argument, " that an answer to one of the formal questions made in the policy was not honest. Justice Lynn said : I feel impelled, from the facts disclosed in this' case, and in the many similar cases which have been brought to my attention, to make personal allusion to the de fendant as a corporation unworthy public confidence. Its agents could fitly be characterized as an un scrupulous body of vipers who prey npon suffering humanity, cajoling the poor of our city while living and then robbing relatives who seek to recover on policies. If our courts, because of the in genious tricks of agents and law yers, are . powerless to protect the -poor ignorant, who are mainly the patrons of such institutions and the victims of- their vicious methods, then the Legislature should provide proper safeguards. When corporations which have grown fat and are able to erect gil dod palaces out of the aggre gated dimes taken from the toilers of our city, endeavor by trick and device to avoid their honest ob ligations, the law should stand as a shield against such wrongs. EEGEFIELD IN COLUMBIA. The Y. M. C. A. Convention * which held its annual session in I Columbia last week came to an end on Sunday night last. Mr. John Lake, of Edgefield, waB ap- j pointed State Secretary. On Sunday evening the services were conducted in the various churches by delegates in attend. ance. We . quote the following from The State: "At the Washington Street Methodist Church Bery ices were conducted by Mr. John Lake, of Edgefield, and Mr. Geo. S. Bearden, of/" Newberry College. Mr. Lake spoke spoke from Joel ii :28, "And J it shall come to pass after that I i will pour my spirit upon all flesh ; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.' Mr. Bearden gave au outline of Y. M. C. A work in the colleges. The special services of the j I Marion Street Methodist Church were conducted by Messrs. Shull, of, Wofford College, and T. B. Lanham, of Edgefield. The ser- < vices were of an interesting na- i ture. t The boys meeting held in the ( Y. M. C. A. hall in the afternoon at i 3 o'clock, and was led by Messrs. I < Jamison, of Charleston, and , Lake and T. B. Lanham, of ? field. About forty boye were | ent and a very enthusiastic c: it was. The subject of the; sj era was "Watch" taken from 13th chapter of St. Mark.. Y an opportunity was offered, th tire number arose, declaring 1 intention to take this ai a. n and tb inaugurate a mo vernen the boys of their own age in nimbia. Bey. Wm. R. Atkinson in hi marks relative to the State 1 laid special emphasis on the o try work now being prosecute Edgefield county. He said th was unfortunate that Mr. J Lake's address on the night be had not been heard by a larger dience. Edgefield sent up oe the largest delegations, and stated that Edgefield was now banner county in the world Christian work for young men.' International Secretary Weil sall will spend eight days in E field visiting the various assj tions. He will be accompanie< Mr. John Lake. Death of Gen. Beauregard General Beauregard died at home in New Orleans on the 2 Feb. he was born in New Orlean 1818,graduated from West Poin 1838 and was assigned to crops of engineers. He serve? Mexican war and was ti wounded and Jtwice brevetted, was promoted to tba captai nc; engineers in 1853 and was for days (January 23 bp 29,1? superintendent of the Uni States Military Academy at Point. He resigned Fob. 20 li joined the confederates and gan th*11, civil war by the boi ardment of Fort Sumter, April 1861. He was in actual command Southern troops at Bull Run, J 21,1891, in which tho Feder experienced defeat ; for this sorv he was made full general, highest grade. From the sumr. of 1891 unlil the spring of 1864 defended Charleston and its o works when besieged by Gene Gilmore. At the close of the war he y second in command of the Arraj Jos.

Reducing; Cotton Acreage. . --- - ? The Baltimore Manufacture Record hopes that satifactc resulte will be achieved at t . Memphis- meetingoTTh&~Cbll Planters7 Association this week. - Our, contemporary holds tl the cotton growing industry now in a critical position, a: urges the planters to unite producing a small crop that w bring a high price. It says : "If the crop could be absolute regulated in accordance with t acreage planted it might not be difficult matter to insure ju about the quantity desired, b weather conditions are an & important factor which can neith be foretold nor avoided. Cons quentJy, to be on the safe side, will be necessary, in estimatii the requisite acreage, to take in consideration the probable viel The average for the past s ?vent?e years has been 177 pounds, or 2 5-5 bale per acre. During that tin the yield for four years exceede 208 pounds per acre; for thre years it was between 180 and 2C pounds ; for four years ? betwee 170 and 180 pounds ,- for thre years between 160 and 170 pound and for three years leas than 16 pounds, lt would seem, thei that 177 pounds would be a tai ave* -e. On this basis 19,000,00 acres would give a crop of 9,372, 000 bales, but if the yield shouL be the same as in 1890-91 tb crop would be 7,500,000 bales, anr. if the yield were that of 1891-9! the crop would be 7,920,090 balee The present crop is variously estimated as grown on from 19 000,000 to 18,000,900 acres, and i the latter figure is accepted ai more nearly correct, it is evident that, in order to insure a croj. of not over 7,000,000 bales for th? coming season, it will be d?sira ble to make a reduction of from 10 to 15 per cent in the acreage planted this year." The next crop should be so re gulated as to fill the wants of 3pinners, and yet not leave such a, surplus as to burden the succeed ing year. The problem is how to secure general co-operation. Grave ionbts exist as to whether the ?onvention'9 influence will be itrong enough to accomplish :he desired object. The amount of tobacco chewed in ;he United States last year was eighty-five tons. Absolute prohibition in South karolina under. the present laws s out of the question. It is either taloona or dispensaries. Which io you prefer? This is the question ;hat every prohibitionist ia now ^alled upon to decide. WILL STAND BY BEN. Funny Letter Received by Go ver TUlraan From Iowa. The fame pf Governor Tillman's fight for the rights of i he State with the railroads has probably reached every cornor of the country. He received yesterday a unique letter from Iowa, which is given exactly as it was written : "2-14-92. "SIAM, TAYLOR* CO., Iowa.

The young man was talking to a very pious acquaintance of hie. .?Miss Follins told nie to-day you were at her house last night," she said. --Yes," he replied. "I presume, of coursp, you had a very pleasant time, she,s a charming girl." "Lovely. I never had a better time. You Bee there was somebody playing the piano in tho back parlor, and Miss Fannie and I quietly stole out into that big dinning room they have and in about a minute I slipped my arm about her waist-" -'Sir!', and Mis? Prim almost had a fit. He was as cool a? a cucumber. "I said," he went on, '-that I .lipped my arm about her waist aud she put her soft white hand on my shoulder-" **? beg vour pardon," interrupted Miss Prim, "but I cannot permit? this conversation to. continue. If .MisB-^FoiriB "fhinkw no more'~?f herself than to permit such liber ties from a gentleman surely he should think enough of himself not to tell of them. The young man snickered. '.Of course, of course," he said, "but wait till j ou hear it all." "No, sir; no, sir," she protested. "I have heard too much already." "Why, there-isn't anything told yet," he pereisted; "as I said-" "I shall not ?hear it, sir," and in high dudgeon she arose to de part. "My dear miss," he said very contritely, "we were only begin ning to waltz, and everybody was looking at us.'' "Oh," she execlaimed, with a sudden collapse, and the young man laughed. The Popular Temperamemt. If Gen. Wade Hampton is cor rectly reported to have "said that the action of the States authorities in connection with the railroads had aroused a very strong feeling of opposition to Governor Till man and his followers thr^r.eh out the State which may result in the organization of a very powerful opposition to vhe Governor," and by this he meant to imply the comment that is made on it, that "This sentiment is not confined to any particular section of the State and if it continnes to- grow and prosper, as it has during the last two weeks there is a very strong probability that Governor Tillman and his followers will be over thrown at the next election." Then the old hero was never more mistaken in his life. Whatever sentiment of injustice was occas ioned by the Administration's originol move agaiust the railroads has been more than counterbalan ced-it has been obliterated from the public mind by the most recent decision of the courts reducing the proud State of South Caro lina from her long boasted and fondly imagined sovereignty to a petitioner at the doors of the Federal courts for permission to collect her' taxes. The railroads which were parties to the suit were justifiable, of course, in win ning-whatever technical advantage they could, But if it be imagined that on the decision of the United States Court jp these cases any pol?tica) advantage is to be gained among the people,it shows a lamentable amount of ignorance a* to the Admini8trv spite of his Tillman rej Sheriff Risc ands of C< out this Sta patriotic in: ii* their preconcei rl?u||^/-li^- what is right and gui ??^jB^^^i this ."r'"'(- |?
