doubtless a good many people who
will derive consolation of this view of
the place of fatnre punishment.
There is a movement in new York
to unite the Labor. and Temperance
parties. In eyery day life there is no
better or stronger coalition. How it

Mrs. Langtry's mother has gone to

A few days since the two children
aged five and eight years, of Mrs.

Last month William Thomas, colored,
was brought before Trial Justice
Sitton at Dae West, charged with
stealing watermelons. He plead guilty
and consented to take a whipping instead
of the punishment prescribed
by law. It is said the Trial Justice
allowed him to be whipped.?ilarlboro
Chronicle. [There are several
boys now in onr jail under same
charge. They sboald have been
? treated to decent floggiDgs and turned
loose. The watermelon act passed by
the last Legislature is a humbug, and
burdensome on taxpayers.]
It is not probable that the proposed
American party will becom as great
a power in politics as some of its
promoters appear to think. There
are doubtless a great many people in
different parts of the country who !
aTe opposed to permitting foreign
born citizens to exercise as much
influence in political affairs as they
do, bnt the number that is ready to
join a new pumicaj ur^auiz-aiiuu,
whose object is to antagonize citizens
of that class, is hardly great enough !
to make such an organization for- j
midable. Those who remember the !
old Know Nothing party, whose cry J
was "America for Americans," - and >
. who recall the history of that organization
will hardly view with favor
any similar organizations.
The New York Times says: "In ad
dition to having the biggest cotton
crop this year that ever has been,
the South will have the farther
ady&ntage cf beiDg nearer out of debt
than at any'time since the W3r.Records
show that not only was there
a general arrd big reduction of raort
gages on farm lands all over the
Soath last year, but Southern busibasiness
men, lately in New York,
say that their farmers have been able
to make this crop without having to
worry over anything like the ordinary j
Deeds for 'advances.' Millions cf dollars
of cash will be ready for invest- I
inemt by Southerners just as soon as
this cotton crop is marketed." There
is ao doubt that the South is better
off ia all respects than it has been at
any other time since the war. Prosperity
has ceased to be spasmodic,
*ad has become steady.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From Oar licgulur Correspondent.]
August 2Gih, 1S87.
Iuvitations to visit different cities
and towns have so accumulated upon
the hands of President Cleveland
that it really has become necessary to
employ additional clerical force on
this account alone. Had the tempestuous
Tuttle been able to forsee
results of his blatant utterings, he
sorely would have desisted, and sueb
popular tributes, would perhaps never
have been paid the Chief Magistrate
of the nation. But, in the wise dispensation
of Providence, even little
insignificant creatures like Tuttle
often mysteriously rise up and do
good without knowing how or why.
Then, I say, all hail Tuttle! His
grateful country, especially the
and Southern sections,
1 ? VV 4 W ?
should arise and calf bim blessed for
his instrumentality in a rousing the
President to the importance of
making' the first extensive tour of
his Administration.
As I reflect on the' projected visit
of Mr. Cleveland, I'trust you will
pardon me for taking a restropective
view of the travels of our earlier
President. Mr. Monroe, was the
first of them to carry ^ut the idea of
a trip of this kind .traveling in his
coach throogh New England apd as
far westward as Ohio, and being
every "where cordially -received; and
for his time it was quite a tedious
undertaking. President Jackson
traveled by carriage all the way from
the Tennessee to the Capital, and
later in the same conveyance, made a
tour of New England, which to the
surprise of his political oponents, who
snppose it was an' element of weakness,
was a continuous ovation, add- '
ing greatly to his popularity.
The building of railroads seems to '
have had the singular effect of dam- 1
pening the traveling ardor of the
Presidents, .so, that most of the Executives,
down to the days of John-,
son ?nd Grant, were confirmed stay- *
at-homes, bat, the two latter, as is
well known, made the most of their '
opportunities and facilities of travel. 1
These are dull days, politically, *
offically, and socially, at the Capital; <
the President, seeking relief from
the oppressive temperature of the '
dog-days, withdraws himself to the
solitary shadows of Oak View where ^
his wife has just returned. With the (
exception of secretaries Bayard and
Fainhild, all of the Cabinet are on *
vacaion?likewise the Justices of the .(
Supreae Court and others equally *
promioDt io social and political life. *
Deava though, is not idle; it has

j most of their coin is ,^ow in the i

| Treasury vaults; there is some excess
over the amountcsticoated to be out,
which is accocu/ed for by importation
from ftreign countries. This
week* the Tieasury paid out sixteen
and a quar.er millions for pensions,
but notwithstanding this heavyt dis;
bursemant the excess of Gpyernment
receipts over expenditures this month
j is About three and a half million

It is said to be the declared purpose
j of Senator Voorbees, together^ with

power to defeat Treasures Hyatt's

was a great sensation in the

caused by the arrest of a clerk named

records of that office for the benefit

a youn^ lady of Aiken county, was j
killed by lightning. She had been j

Barbecue, Crops, Schools, Etc.
Me. Editor: la a fleeting moment
of leisure I will indite you a br;ef
account of the pleasant day spent at
Mr. S. D. Kister'e barbecue on Saturday,
13th instant. As barbecues
are so frequent in Lexingtou Fork,
we did not expect to see so many people,
bot they, knowing that Mr.
S. D. Rister never fails in giving
first-class barbecues, took special
Dotice of the appointed day in his advertisement.
The people in civic
dress came in from every point of the
compass until they numbered about
three hundred. Only a few minutes
had elapsed till arrangements were
made for the dance, in which quite a
number of our young ladies, bjonds
and brunettes, the most beautiful and
aDgelic the world affords with a lot of
gentlemanly young men. Music was
furnished by Mess. Counts and Hill.
Tb'i's enjoyment, with other amusement,
continued for some time.
Dinner being announced, the crowd
assembled at quite a long table filled
with-all,the snbstantials and sweets
imaginable. Pork in every style offered
an appetizing proloque, succeeded
by mutton. The choicest foreign
pickles were assorted for each
guest. It wodjTd exceed my.power to
detail the delicacies proffered.
The planters .of this section have
excellent crops. Messrs Willie A.
Bandrick and D. Frank Chapman
each sold last week a bale of col top.
Owing to the prevalence of measles
the Mt. Tabor High School has been
stopped; cpnsequently the closing
exercises are put off indefinitely.
We are glad to learn that Mr. Willie
Counts, a recent graduate of Newberry
College, has opened school at
Spring Hill. We wish him success.
Rev. J. A. Sligh will preach the
commencement sermon of the Mitchall
High School pn the fourth Sanday
in September at eleven o'clock a. m.
rhe closing exercises of this school
will continue till the following Thursday,
the 29th. On that day there
win De speecnes delivered oo education
by some distinguished speaker of
the State. Everybody is invited and
i fall attendance is expected. An
excellent lecture was given by Dr. J.
W. Eargle on the circulation of the*
Dlood of his pupils in physiology.
The doctor knows how to gain the
:ull confidence and attention of his
jlass.
We are glad to note that Messrs.
3r. A. Lucas and E. A. Leaird have
completed their academic coarse at
;he Citadel. We predict a brilliant
iiture for them. . v J. D.' R.

Mr. Rufas Sh6aly sold the first*
bale of cotton this season, it was
bought by E. Jones for 8| cents.
Quite a large number of visitors
are still in town enjoying the healthy
and invigorating an of the place.
The "boom" has at last struck our
town. Several stores will soon be
in course of erection in the most
business part of the town, also a
number of dwellings will soon be
built, and altogether the signs of the
times point to the prosperity and
enlargement of our pretty town.
Mr. Ed. H. B*itf, of the firm of
Ford, Talley & Co., of Columbia, large
cotton buyers, will be in town next
week, and he promises to make this
place one of the best cotton markets
on the line of railroad.
Mr. Mose Gunter will begin the
erection of the steeple for the Baptist
church at once, already the ladies of
the church have enough money for

I have been accused by spme of
working altogether for self, in trying
to get up the free ferry. This is
wrong. My trade from Lexington is
large and ,of the very best people, and
will do to depend on, many oi tnem
will drive a mile onfc of the way to
trade with me, and men who do not
"skin a flee for its hide and tallow."
It is true I am making money; I
don't deny it, bat how ? From my
large sales and small profit system,
being satisfied with 5 per cent, on my
goods, hence I turn over from $100
to $200 every day, doing all my work
myself, and having only one price
and one set of scales for everybody,
none of my customers ask me to take
less for my goods than I ask for
them. I believe I sell more tobacco
than any other house in Colombia.
My friends are those who trade with
me, and I am under obligations to
do something for them, and what
better thing can I do than get up a
free ferry to our market. BsspectSully,
