The Honest Mau Who Pays. ADMY TR TE TIES. Mr. OWi k.

A -grqt deal has been said about Ahe. elative economy with which Deip ratie and Itpiblican States in StheSouth are governed. In such qudstions general statements carry *itk&em but little weight. Figures like those given in the annual mes sage of Governor Smith. of_Georgia, show best the difference between hon esty and rascality. Three lines are Georgia. So. Ca.

RvrtAND TT., January 21.-The citi zens of Bennnton were startled about half-past two o'clock, yesterday after * noon, by a heavy explosion, which was heard for twenty miles away. It prov ed to be the explosion of the gas works on the .premises of H. E. Bradford & Co.'s knitting milLs. 'The gas it seems, had leaked from the pipes until the air wvas filled, and it took fire fromt a boiler communicating with the gas holder. 'The mill is a one-story b)rick building. The explosion lifted the roof and burst ont the walls of the building, the roo.f fell back, crushing many of the work women. 'The fire spread insta'ntaneous ly all over the building, and it was half consumned before the flames could.b got.unmder control.

BRENEKER, EDITOR. IMA U. JONES, ASSISTAT EDrr0. NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY - JAN. 28,11874. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in thebighest respect a Fam ly Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests ot the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. "Patron of Husbandry's" communica tion was received only as we were about going to press, and consequently too late for this issue. It shall appear next week. Immigration Societies. From various parts of the State we hear of the formation of societies for the systematic advancement of the cause of immi-ration. In Anderson, Barnwell, Chiester, Fairfield, Kershaw, Oconee, Waihalla and other counties, societies for this purpose have been organized and promise to be produc tive of much good. Newberry should not be behind. She should at once or ganize an immigration society. It is true the Grange here is moving in that direction and we think it a good plan, and wish it success. But as all the ele ments are not represented inthe Grange, we think, in addition to that organiza tion, a society in which all the interests are represented should immediately be formed. By a united, systematic effort much more can 'be accomplished in a shorter time and with less expense than by acting individually. One thing we would like to mention to the immigrant seekers of Newberry, which is to re member the people of Great Britain in their selections of laborers. If :there are a people on the face of the .globe better or more suitable th:n.. they we are not aware of it.. We have not the slightest objection in' the world to the German and other foreignrs who are coming into our State. We Welcome them and hope more will come. But let us have a heavy sprinkle of English, Scoteh and Irish, and we will ever in cresse the br'ain as well as the muscle of South Caoia Address of' Col. Richard. .Lathers. We are in receipt of the address of the above named~gentleman, wbich was delivered before the New England Society of Charlestoni on Forefathers Day, Dec. 22, 1873, and noit publish ed in pamphlet form by the News & Coisrier. We have given the address a careful perusal and find it full of eloquent, manly and patriotid senti ments. Such sentiments should be scattered throughout ourf State that they may arouse to action the slum being.energies of our broken spirited people. According to CoL: Lathers :we ourselves' are to 'bs blamed for much of the evil oxisting in this State. We have been acking in unity and activity. We hav-e hieard the robbers at the door but have slept on in care less indifference. He recommends a union of~all honesi, patriotic men, re gardless of race, color or condition, to wage war against corruption in high places, by an earnest, vigorous and persistent prosecution in the courts of the State against eveiy omial of whose corruption and- venality evi dence may be tound.' This is a wise suggestion, and if carried out with vim will res,ue our State from much that is disgusting, and resurrect its honor which L,as been buried for years. - On Our -Tabe. We have this week received the neatly prepared Public Ledger Al manae which is given gratuitously to every subscriber to the Public Led ger, published by George W. Childs, of Philadelphia. This almanac, in addition to the usual contents of al manacs, has, in a condensed form, many interesting and useful facts which will make it valuable for reference. We have also received a pamphlet published by the Departmnent of Agri culture, containing a carefully prepared treatise on the culture and mianufac ture of ramnie and jute, written by Emile LeFrane, of New Orleans. Ex periments recently made in Louisiana, on the cultivation and preparation of these textiles show that they will, in course of time, become an imper tat and lucrative branch of agricul ture. -Also, the Report of the Board of Regents and the Superintendent of the Lunatie~ Asylum of South Carolina, fr the year ending October 31st, 1873. According to the report the Asylum in some respects has beoen iproved, but its wants are still very great. Its finances are in a sad condition and its credit is almost entirely gone. The number of lunatics in the Asylumn at the beginning of the year was 290; the number admitted dairing the year, 9, making a total during the year of z88; 27 of whom were diseharged as recoered ; 4 as improved; 14 as eta tionary; and 34 as having died during the year, leaving, October 3 1st, 1873, 309, the most of which number are hronic cases, of whose cure there is no ~ It i~ 1-Acominended that the ca Whtis* an? "'in i6he sport of fortune." 'i is a being of smiles and tears,-now m creature of hope, now a victim of do spair. As he treads the flowery patli of youth,all around him is bright and fair, every glimpse of the future is heightened by the soft poneilings ol happiness to come. But soon the picture is darkened by the gloomy shadings of sadness and sorrow. To. day every sound, that falls upon his ear, ieste musie of h6pC;Aa morrow nought is heard save the notes of despair. Now life seems spread out before him a - lovely. landzcape, where every praspect, that meets the eye, is arrayed in the bloom of comine felicity. But alas! how soon are the flowers of pleasure blighted by th( chilling frosts of disappointment, and the whole scene covered with the white sheetings of misfortune's wintry snow." "Such is life, in which shade and sunshine chase each other over the plain." Thus hath Providence ordained it; and thus has history por. trayed it. But the young are loth to learn the lessons of history. In the morning ol life they eagerly pursue the phantom of pleasure, ever looking toward the "Golden Hereafter," where brighten up before them the glorious anticipa tions of coming years. With ungrate ful hand they dash from their lips the cup they might enjoy, and look and long for what they may never obtain. Though basking in the sunliidht ol prosperity, they feel not its genial rays; though sailing gently along the stream of time, they heed it. not, till the charm is broken and the dream dis pelled by lowering clouds and the rude dasiings of angry waves. Then, "shivering amid the pitiless peltings of the storm of adveisity," they be gin to realize the versatility of human events and the unerring.cortainty with which all things earthly pass away. What then is man? A being "of few days and full of trouble.'? A be ing, whose life, uninfluenced by the teachings of- the Bible, is a dream miore vain than the dreams of Socrates or Plato. A way-faring man, whose journey, without. the light of the gos pel upon it, leads to irretrievable dark ness. He is a saior upon the sea of life, whose bark, unguided by "the sublime chart-of' our immortal faith," will waft him into shipwreck and eter nal ruin. An Example'for Imitation. . In the case of the State vs. Cyrus Clarkson, (colored,) indicted for grand larceny, in stealing cattle, tried yester day in the Court of General Sessions, the Jury, composed of colored men, brought in a verdict of "not guilty,"~ contrary to overwheiniing anid conclu' sive evidence 'of the guilt of the prisoner. -No ode upon t.he:Jiry was able to write. the .verdiet,. and the Judge ordered the Clerk of the Court, to endorsa. it upon the record, and the foreman to make his "mnark." His :Honor thea commented upon the conduct of the Jury -Commnission arn drwing men grossly illiterate adincomnpetent to serve as Jurymnen, rebuked the Jury for their total disre gard of all law and evidence in the case,. ordered that their~ namnes be stricken from the jury list, an& that the -Sheriff furnish twenzty-four. men of intelligence and integrity, from which another Jury might be'sbleted: He expressed bis regre.U that 'nnder the law the verdict must stand, and that lie was unable to set it aside. .This, conduct of -Judge Carpenter cannot be 'too' highly commended. Some such yigorous and fe'arless ad ministration of justieo is needed to check the unbridled partisanship of our public officers, and the shameless disregard, of all obligations shown by 'many who are called to act as jury men and witnesses in the* Courts. *The above took place in Camden 'oii the 21st inst. It remninds us very much of the case of the Stat'e vs. Adam King, tried here in the Court of Gen eral Sessions on the same day. One important and to beregretted difference, however, be't*een the two cases is, that the jurors who pronounced Adam King ''not guilty," still disgrace the Court and Counity by their presence as jurymnen. His Honor Judge Moses denoucced this infamous. verdict ini strong and indignant terms. The Chief Justieeship. The Senate has seen fit to confirm the nomination of Morrison R, Waite, of Ohio, as Chief Justice, We kenow nothing of Mr. Waite, hie has no nation. al reputation that we. are aware of, but that does not necessarily signify that he is not the proper person for so Import. ant and honorable a position as Chiel Justice. No ordinary man, however, should be the successor of the great Chase. We clip from the Union-Herald the following brief sketch of his life: "He is a son of the late Chief ,Justice Waite, of Connecticut, one of the lead. ing jurists of New England. He is 11n his fifty-eighth year, and graduated.a Yale College, at the age of twenty-two. "In 1838. he wvent to Toledo, and 4tud$ed law with S. M.. Young, wvithi whom hat pr'y ticed for eighteen years. He has for m:mny year.s stod at the head of the bar of north-wester Ohio, anid twice declined a seat on. the Supreme Court bench of Ohio. "In 1849, he was elected a mnember of the Legislature, serving with distine. tion. In 1862, he was a candidate for Congress, and though defeated, received a majority of 1,200 in Toledo.

Invitations, engraved upon miniature e note paper, were sent to thirty or for. . ty-of the most aristocratic of the Quak s .er.City dolls, and in every instance the 8 invitations were accepted. The dolls I presented themselves in full costume, -and -some most exquisite. Supper . was served at .the unusual hour of 1 eight o'clock. The service and food . corresponded with thesize of the guests. Champagne, in bottles about the size of one's finger, was placed in silver r coolers of equal height. After supper there was dancing, which was contin r ued to a late hour, when the servant9 announced that it was- time to go home, and the dolls, after some pout. ing, concluded their dissipation.

It is Not Generally Known That the shortest 'pos.ib!e route between the South and Great West is through St. Loris, over the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line. This road has gained surpaihing importance by reason of immense expenditures in the last two years, of over two million dollar, besides earnings, in im provements of road-way, in relaying their line- with best qu.lity of new steel and iron rails, on broid new ties, and substitating for ordinary cars, new. reclining chair coach es, elegantly carpeted and fitted, with dress ing rooms with toilet conveniences for la dies, gentlemen and families traveling with children, without any extra charge. This line runs six fast Express trains between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, two m9re than any other road, and connects with all the great Land Grant Roads in the West, and has adopted all modern appliances for comfort, speed and safeguards against acci dents,including night and day watchmen,who inspect the road before and after the passage of each train to see that everything is in or der. We recommend those contemplating a trip West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line, it being the only line running through cars between St Louis and Omaha, and for tickets over this excel lent line we refer our readers to any ticket agent selling through tickets to the West.
