It was our pleasure on Monday to
listen to Mr. Watson's intelligent lec
ture on a new lamp, burner and chim
ney of which he is the agent, and which
we consider perfection. The light given
is surpassingly brilliant, the lamp cannot
by any possibility explode, the burner
gets no hotter than blood heat, and the
chimney will not smoke. We advise
all who desire good light, and who value
safety, to get one of these lamps from
Dr. Pelham, who has them for sale.

and by whomsoever known esteemed
for his many noble qualities of head
and heart. In his life he afforded an
example illustrative of a true Christian,
and in his death his friends and rela

gain. Society has lost in this untimely
death a member who gave promise o:
much future usefulness. Our deepesl
sympathies are extended to the bereaved
family.

Senator Lipscomb has worked hard
to secure the passage of his bill to pre
vent unjust discriminations by the rail
roads in the transportation of freight
a bill that is specially needed for the
benefit of such places as this that have
only one railroad.
Representative Johnstone introduced
a bill on the 13th to provide for the
funding of the bonafide past due school
claims of Newberry County. We hope
the bill will go through; for many
teachers in this County have never been
paid for their work. We would like to
see all school accounts closed up and a
new start taken on a cash basis.

ad ever~y one, big and little, must be
ade to feel just a little happier than
ommon, the cost being a secondary
onsideration, for it only comes once a
year, you know. Its a settled fact that
something has to be bought, perhaps
many things, for some men and women
o things on a grand scale in the happy
Christmas time, make ever so many
Slittle and big ones happy and feel the
jbetter for it in the doing. This point
settled, the question arises what shall
these good, nice, cheap things be, and
where can they be had; well, we an
swer the whole by saying at Kingsland

reatest variety of such goods as are
needed at this particular time. Their

Stealing Grain from the Freehold.
In sentencing three convicts Thurs
day for the above offense, Judge Pressly
said: "Last year the offense of which
you have been convicted would have
been only petty larceny, and the punish
ment would probably have been im
prisonment in~ jail for one month. But
the people of the State, so broken down,
and so dependent on their crops, have
:oncluded that there can be no hope for
the State and no prosperity until a stof
is put to stealing crops from the field.
And, therefore, the Legislature has im
posed on the Judges the duty to bear
upon this crime with a heavy hand. It
is my determination and my practice
to punish this offense severely even the
irst instance, and in the second and
subsequent offenses to double the pen
alty. The other Judges will do the
saie. The people must be protected
in their crops or they cannot live."~
Seaking to Chappell, the white man,
he said, "'The jury recommended you
to mercy, but I1 cannot consider that
recommendation. Ishould feel ashamed
to impose upon you a lighter sentence,
because you are a white man, than
upon colored persons convicted of a
like offense. indeed, if I should followi
my own inclination I should impose
upon you a heavier penalty. You have
had better opportunities than they; you
have had stronger inducements to lead
an honest and honorable life; you have
had superioi advantages, and on these
accounts your offense is worse than
theirs."

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
December 11, 18'78.
The House will not get all the ap
propriation bills through in three
weeks before bolidlay adjournmwent;
but it will make tuore progress tuan
has been made in late years. If Sec
retary Sherman' s influence is potent
in the Senate that body will accept
the bills alnost exactly as the House
passes them. Tfhe Secretary, like any
other sensible man, believes that as
the early attempt to resume specie
payments is a fixed fact it will be ber
ter to make it with Congress and the
pcople, as far as possibl,e, free from
unnecessary political excitement. That
is a narrow view of the subject which
sees only that purely financial legisla
tion is now dangerous. Substantial
and hearty agreement upon reduced
appropriations will encourage the
people to believe in long-promuised re
lief, and thus do much to kill off those
uneasy politicians who keep the coun
try in discontent aud confusion.
El-Sen ator Morrill, of Maine, yes
terday gave his views on the subject
of the Iudian transfer. He does not
believe in it. Neither does he believe
in the present system of managing
Indians. HeI thinks, as nearly as can
be made out from his printed views,
that they should be "localized" and
"educated," so that in the future,
when they have to give up their lands
to the whites, they will be ready and
willing. Mr. Morrill's opinions do
not receive as much attention here as
they formerly did.
To-morrow Mr. B3laine speaks on
his Southern intimidation resolution.
Mr. Thurman and a Southern Senator,
probably Mr. Gordon, will speak on
the subject. The investigatio n, if any
is ordered, will doubtless be made
general.
The investigation into Senator Con
over's alleged connection with the loss
of portions of an enrolled bill during
the last session promises to perform
the good work of forcing an investi
gation of the Treasury Secret Service
force. The charge against the Senator
came from the acting chief of that
force. Even the needed work of such
an organization is not looked on kindly
by thie American people. but it is
known that some and believed that
many of the Treasury detectives have

A rigid investigation would do no
harm.
Senator Lamar seems to fear that
there is not a "Solid South" on one
suject at least. Speaking of the bill
to give Government recognition to the
Texas Pacific R. R , he says: "It is a
fair, judicious, efficient and well guard
ed measure which will do what the
South needs and all that it needs. I
believe that it can be passed, and
passed now if the South unites to ask
for it. If want of union or local jeal
ousies at the South let this opportuni
ty go by I do not believe that a South
ern Pacific connection, independent
and competing, will be secured." It
would be strange, indeed, if the South
could not be "solid" on a subject so
vital to her material interests. The
practical North secured enormous (Gov

roads, simply by uniting in their sup

originated and perfected whereby at

yet experience proves our "storm sig.

of nedicine. Step by step, uncer.

qsolute certainty. The discoveries
of Harvey and Juer have been suc
