In the eight counties which gave mijoiities against prohibition the majorities were small, ranging from 112 to -702, excepting in Charleston county where only 281 votes counted for prohibition and 2,928 against it. The total majority in these eight counties was ">.797; the other 27 counties giving an aggregate ma jot ity of 1.7,728. The people asked for prohibition and were given the dispensary. The prohibitionists have not shifted their ground since, but stand on the same platform as in i842. and call upon the legislature to comply with the demand which was then made, and which has never been modified by any vote of the people since.

President Wilborii. of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association recently formed in Atlanta, was in Columbia a few days ago and stated that at the Atlanta convention he had pledged the support of the South Carolina Alliance to the cotton growers' movement. In view of this, us president ; of the State Alliance, he would issue i an address to the sub-Alliances of j the State, calling upon them to hold special meetings between the first of | the year and the second Friday in j January, for the purpose of taking j the plan adopted by the convention j up and giving it careful consideration. He feels that the AJliance will t stand to the plan adopted to a man, ; and lie wants the South Carolina Alli;mce:m n to get in line and help win the tight, just as they did in the battle against the jute trust. The piarteilv nuetings of the county alliances aro to be held all over the State on the s? eond Friday in January : hence it is that Mr. Wilborn will appoint some day pi ior to that time for the sub Alliances to hold these meetings.

I Chattauooga, Tenn., Dec. 2D.?The j miners' strike in the coal fields along ! the line of southern Kentucky and } Tennessee which began last May i over a reduction of wages of 10 per cent, inagurated by the operators j of the various mines in the territory, I was today declared off by the men. j This action was the result of a con- j ference held at Rock wood, Tenn , j between the committee representing j the strikers and an executive com- j mittee representing the operators, j The strikers have been suffering j greatly and several times committees from the strikers have solicited aid i for their starving families. Today ; j application 'was submitted by the j operators to make the reduction of j j wages o per cent, instead of 10 as ' j originally proposed. After a brief , j parley the'men accepted the reduc- j j tion, contracts were signed for a year and the men went to work. There j are *2,.">00 to 3,000 men involved. This settlement does not include the trouble at the mines of the Dayton Coal and Iron Company, where 300 miners are out. The men at J Dayton are out because of a demand ! of the company that wages shall be j cut 10 per cent, whether the coal j mined by them shall contain a cer! tain per cent, of shale. It was stated today tint this strike will extend to the mines at Graysville, where the Dayton company is now obtaining coal during the pendency of the strike. ? ? j B3ware cf Ointment for Catarrh that Contain Murcury, As mercury will surely destroy the ! sense of smell and completely deriuge the whole system wheo enter| iig it through the mucous surfaces. 1 S ich articles should never be used . except on prescriptions from reputa! ble physic at s as the damage they ' w ill do is ten fold to the good yon can i p~s-ib!y derive from them.
