Advertise the State! News and Courier. Corm, March 13.-"The trouble with --- South Carolina," said last night the shrewd and suecessful general agent of a large SNorthern manufactory of Improved agricul tagat machinery, "is that she doesn's adver tise herself suffciently. People outside doa't know what she Is doing. Her own neple don't do her justice, I was struck by T truth of an editorial in The News and lmrn, a couple of months ago, making a of the a -entural progress of arolia an durig thpras -two yer Gin the laue wih ste ducts since 190S much more rapidly than Georgia had done, she article insisted that ti h ae "Poor old Senth Carolina" S shoul cease from the lips-of her sons, and argued that the Idea of many of our people -that their State was behind others of the South In material advancement was unjust and injerlous. That is the exact fact. Peo pie here are too modest by haalf. To have their achievements known they must speak auor tiemselves. "I will tell you what I knoj aut ari ctral progress in South Carolina and ':ergs' continued the aet. "Last.year I ha the general agency, o my boase In South Carolina. Georgia andFlorida. Befor I left headquarters the managers told mw repeatedly to pal partictiar attention to, Georgia. They had agreat ies:about Geor gia's progressiveness because she talked so much about It. I told them that I would look out for that State, but that I thought there was just as good an opening in South Carolina. They sallied Incredulously. 1 travelled through both States impartially and appointed local agents. Now, do you know what the results were at the close of 1882 ? You can't guess ? Well, then, we sold $21,000 worth of farm steam-engines, threshers and saw-mills in Georgia and $78, 000 worth In South Carolina. Anderson. County alone took $20,000 worth of improv ed machinery,-almost as much as Georgia, and a number of my competitors made good sales there also. This year the business I. increasing greatly in South Carolina. I be lieve, fromwhat Iknow of the sales of others in the business, that South Carolina bought very much more labor-saving machinery last year than Georgia, and when I get home I will try to get you approximate figures. You can see for;ourself how the business is in creasing here. Look at the number of agencies only recently established by manu facturers In Columbia! "This is only one instance. Travelling as I do in both States, I see the relative progress of both, and South Carolina is not left be hind. But when-you go North you ind that Georgia [a considered a phenomenon of pro gress, while South Carolina is not heard of Industrially. The reason Is that your people don't brag enough in the papers and out of them. Why, the Georgians boast so much about themselves that they convince not only outsiders but themselves. The people of Atlanta talk as if that city were intermediate in size between New York and London. They are a pushing people and they advertise. Mr. Stephens was a distinguished man and a loss to his State, but when I was over in Georgia the other day the people talked'as if upon his death the American eagle must fold his wings and go to roost. And the Atlanta Constitution. They think that paper a blanket to warm the Union under. In short, the people of Georgia have a sublime self-satisfaction which, while not altogether admirable, certainly helps them a great deal, for they are so well pleased with themselves that they satisfy others with their condition. I don't think South Carolina need go into such ecstasies about themselves, but if they let the world know the sober facts of their progress they would get along better. They can blow their own trumpet with truth and to their advantage in attracting immigration and capital." Fon TEE HERALD. The Laws and the Courts, as Zero Sees Them. An editorial in your issue of the 8th inst., capped "Most Hearty Good Master" knocked the shell from some, as rotten legality as could be found in the code o? a Hottentot. Charge five dollars a reference for advocat ing an untenable claim! Palpable wrong! monstrosity I BuT wHt HAS NOTHING BEEF HEARD OF THIS KIND OP THINGS BEFORE ? WAs IT THAT NONE KNEW IT, BUT THOSE WHO PROFITED IN ITS PRACTICE ? We suppose 'twas stptute or common law, and legal wrong is legal right. A few years ago we were sued on a note-we set up no de fence; for we bad none except want of funds. The costs in the case, and no defence put 10, were forty dollars-one-sixth of a year's work-enough to have fed our little ones live months. Another who found we had no funds,' proposing to convert some of our goods and chattels into cash, did the same thing-the debt in this case was thirty-three dollars-the costs twenty-seven-no defence again. An estate of three thousand dollars came before the Mast and the courts, after the costs in about a dozen needless references were paid, little more than a thousand remained. The items in an account against an estate are made out thus (we produce for the benefit of novices): Estate or A. B. C., deceased, Dr., to L.J.E I Fee.........................$300 00 The amount of the fee depends altogether on the size of the estate and not on the amount of work done. The fee must be ap proved by the court, but any well disciplined court will be more than just. When a judge orders the distribution of an estate, those who have experience know that the distribn tion has already nearly been made. They all .-according to law-look and talk like lackstone was a fool to them-but what sort of law Is it ? No one Is to blame for this, but those who make laws with such loop holes in them. Men and women who have only one or two cases In a lifetime go mwy from the courts feeling that they have been fleeced, and make a resolve that they will suffer much, before appealing to courts again. They are impressed with a contempti ble Idea of the equity of our laws and the justice of their execution. Some may strive to Impress them that such is high justice always bas been-ever will be, and there can be no improvement. But this Is hollow, false. . If the people wili put themselves to the trouble to Inform themselves a little, and will go to the ballot box determined to vote for none but men of ability and for none but those who avow reform both in legislation and in the judiciary (for judiciary is a creature of dhe legislature)-determined to vote for none but those who are resolved that the defenceless widows and helpless chlldren.of our yeomaury, when deprived of their husbands and fathers, shall not have the small hard-earned pittance gulped from them, by technicalities, names and pretexts then there will be reform and speedy reform. Is procrastination a part of justice ? Our last court took up and tried cases by consent; that means-nothing less-what a farce! That's the rule, eh! It's THE RULE we are after. An officer In our county-a model In most respects-thinks procrastinatIon the quintescence and flower of courts. He argues shuly: "Speedy justice crowds the courts with plaintiffs-tardy justice makes people suffer wrong, bear grievances, and arbitrate rather than resort to courts." Such reason ing may do for church, it Is novel in state. He's honest-he's wrong-we'll vote for him no more. Much is said in derision of the- average jury. It Isn't near what UNIVERsAL EDUCA TroN will make It. but its errors arise more from morbid sympathy than from avarice and therefore are more excusable. All grant ed that Is charged against the jury, wouldn't most pcrsons with a just cause prefer to risk their caure to a jury than to the other part of the legal machinery. Like- Pat, when si"k and asked by the priest. "Are you afraid to meet your God?" "Och, no." said he, "it's the other chap that I fear to meet." rave we said too much ? If the laws and courts have the confidence of the people not of black1egs, roughs and cut-throats who fear justice; if they have the confidence of the true, the virtuous, the unsuspecting and law-abiding, then we exclaim, PECoAvIxUs! and will do penance until pardoned. Z E 0. FOu THE HERALD. To the Town Council. GENTLEMEN :-Your term of oflice is fast drawing to a close, and we feel we must give you a parting word. We will not be harsh with you. Will deal with you gently, but justly, as you have many poor devils who fell in your way. "You tried them justly, and fined them too; Who was tbe bigger devil, they or you?" One breaks the law, the other neglects duty. Who is the greater criminal, the sentinel who slept upon his post, and through his neglect the army was lost, or the soldier who is caught napping up a sour apple tree ? You gentlemen are the sleeping sentinel. Did you know that you had a chief, and he had duties? "No"-yes, that tall, majestic, young athlete standing over the way, that's him. Oh, he was too slow for us. Put him on retired list, got a little gem in his place though. Is not exactly a walking prayer-book, but Is as good on the catch, and the best on a witness, as ever slung a baton. Never wants .any evidence, when he has had his say; couldn't do without Imx. Didn't want to strike the old bird un der the 1' ing, see ? Well, he is a chief all the same, and one of his multiple duties is to be present every morning at the opening of the market, see that nor.e but good and wholesome meats be sold. The only marke: he is present at, and the only meats inspect ed, is at Mrs. --'s breakfast table. Facts, gentlemen, facts. If somebody has died this year from eating.impure food, who bears the responsibility? Sad thing for you to think of in that last great day. It is another one of his many duties, to inspect, from time to time, all weights and measures, see that the poor arenot defrauded. Now, all the mea re and weight he has inspected was a pint emp when he wanted it fall of pinders. That cup'was badlydeleient, as he had to double heap it, and cpit, with his ponderous hand tget aplut. NOw,f all weights and mes ures m towu SLOt adly defective as that one PIT cup, then what have the people been swindled out of in one year, all by your1 notknowing you had a chief, nud he had duties. Upon whose head does the respon sibility rest ? And did it ever occur to your body that wee bad a damp spell a while back, and the streets anything but dusty? and that os should -do something to: better them? So-? You were not expected to macadamize or underground them, but do what the old Council did-would have done. Neglect, neglect, gentlemen. You condemn the violator; you stand condemned. Councils before you have left behind them works and mopuments that will stand as lasting praise to their powerand ability; works that com ing generations will look with honor and admiration upon and sing the praises to their founders. What have you left behind you that will stand as living monuments to YOUR administration. Three street lamps, assis tant chief of Police and a lamp-lighter. "Shades of Caer!" Why did you not as easily and at less expense appoint an assistant chief Mayor, four assistant chief wardens, and one chief lamp-lighter. It would have given tone to your administration, dignity to the town and satisfaction to the people. But, gentlemen, we make no triumphant yell at your departure. Put your hands in your breeches-pockets and pass quietly under the arch. You have the sympathy of the populace. Tell your successors you are glad your time is out. Tell all the boys you were sorry they elected you, and would not serve again for any thing. They will believe you, but the people will say there goes the sagest set of Councilmen that has served from Gil bal's time down. PRESTO. The Herald. T. F. GRENEKER, EDTORS. GEO. B. CROMER. E NEWBERRY, S. C. THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1883. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newsa r, devoted to the material in terests of people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. Rotation in office is a correct pol icy in representative governments, for the office holders should be taught that the offices which are in trusted to them do not belong to them. But there are certain offices in which frequent changes would be not only unwise, but hurtful to a proper administration of the affairs of the government. It certainly is silly to say that no man should be elected to an office, who is not ac quainted with the duties of that office, just as it was absurd for the father to forbid his son to venture in the water before he had learned to swim. But for the people to re quire an honest and capable man to give up an office as soon as he has learned how to discharge its duties properly, would be no less absurd than for the father to forbid his son to venture in the water after he has learned to swim. President Garfield, just after he took the oath of office, turned and tenderly kissed his aged mother, in the presence of the multitude that witnessed his inauguration. The public applauded; the pulpit extoll ed Garfield's gentleness and tender ness; the press pronounced the act beautiful, appropriate and touching. Mr. Boynton, of Georgia, was evi dently filled with admiration of the act, for a few days ago, just after he was sworn in as accidental Gov ernor of , Georgia, he advanced among the women and kissed his favorite niece ! The Georgia press clapped its hands, and was extrav agant in its praise of the kissing exhibition. We think it is time for such stuff as that to sfop, or for the performance to take place in pri vate. Why kiss the niece? What had she to do with the removal of Governor Stephens? It is said that the Hon. Richard Crowley of New York, who has been retained to assist Melton in the political prosecutions in our State will get a handsom... fee. It would require a big fee to induce a lawyer of any respectability and self respect to engage in the sort of business in which Melton is now reveling. This is especially true in view of the fact that he will get nothing but the fee. And if Mr. Crowly wants a fee and nothing but a fee, he is looking in the right direction, for Uncle Sam is able to pay handsomely. But if he is look ing forward to the elcction trials for anything else that an honora ble man would care to receive, he is in a fair way to get more than an ordinary share of disappointment. A Washington letter to the Cleve land Ledgier says that a certain member of congress, from South Carolina, averaged forty drinks a day, in W~ashington. The writer got his information from a bar-ten der, but neglected to give the name of the bibulous congressman. We feel sure that the member whose name is not given, was in favor of abolishing the internal revenue on whiskey. A doctor at Richmond ~says that if people will take a bath in hot whiskey and rock salt twice a year they -will never catch a Cold. ~Un til somebody has tried this new remedy we would say :-stick to the 1old and reliable Dr. Bull's ough Syrup. The seventeen Fairield Demo crats whose examination was sus pended a short time ago in order to give Willard time to rake up new witnesses, returned to Columbia last Monday. The examination proceeded before Commissioner Bauskett. A negro circuit rider call ed for volunteer witnesses from his church, and was successful, the wit nesses now numbering about twen ty. On Sunday a conference was held at the Methodist church at Monticello, and the meeting com mended Messrs. J. W. Kirkland, J. S. Dawkins and James McGill, de fendants, to the sympathy of the public, affirming that they are high toned Christian gentlemen. But the dirty work of Melton & Co., goce en in Fairfield, Clarendon and elsewhere. The Chinese Merchants who were driven out of the town of Way nesboro, Ga., several weeks ago, have begun suit against eighteen of the most prominent citizens of that place, charging them with damages to the amount of $115,000. Loo Chang & Co., as a firm, claim $50, 000; Tom Loo Chang, $40,000; and Ah Sing, $25,000. The suits are brought in the U. S. Circuit Court in Savannah. It is understood that the Chinese minister at Wash ington has engaged the services of distinguished attorneys, and in tends to make a test case to see what a Chinaman's chances are in this Country. Very large damages are claimed; it is likely that very, very small damages will be recov ered. As early as 1821, Thomas Jeffer son speaking of the race problem, said, "Nothing is more certainly written in the book -of fate than that these people (the negroes) are to be free; nor is it less certain that the two races,equally free,cannot ex ist in the same government." These words of the illustrious statesman will be interesting to students of the probable destiny of "our brother in black." They contain two pro phetic utterances, the first of which has been fulfilled. The newspaper press has been pouring a torrent of ridicule and abuse upon the head of poor Wig gins, because his "planet-shaking tempest" failed to come at the ap pointed time. This is passing strange. Did anybody want the tempest to come? Then, why abuse Wiggins? The HERALD has noth ing but the heartiest good will for him, and it hopes that if he sees fit to remain in the field of prophesy, he will always foretell storms and dire calamities that are not coming. J. B. Barnes and three other young business men of Columbia, have been engaged in stealing jewelry. Barnes being arrested made a confession implicating the other three. He was a clerk in a jewelry store and did the stealing; the others disposed of the stolen goods. _______ Congressman Singleton says"The Southern men are getting to be pro tectionists, and in twenty years the greatest claims for protection will come from the Southern States." It seems that we are drifting in the direction indicated by Mr. Single-~ ton. On the fourteenth, Judge David Davis was married to Miss Addie Burr of North Carolina. The wed ding was quiet and private. Miss Burr is 35 years old, and it is said that Judge Davis appeared twenty years under his sixty-eight. Last year Mary Belle Jones of Laurens Rued P. H. E. Fuller for breach of promise, and obtained a verdTt for 10,000 damages. The case went to the Supreme Court and the judgment was affirmed; so the 10,000 must be paid. "Zero" is severe on the laws and the courts, but he does his own thinking, and he is not altogether wrong on the subject of costs. We shall have more to say on that sub ject hereafter. It seems that Geul. Grant, the great third-termer, will at last go to the corner. It is said that his head will ornament the new two-cent pos tage stamp. President Arthur is said to be afflicted with Bright's disease. He fears that he may not live the year The Georgia Republicans will hold no convention, but they have appointed a committee to manage the campaign for governor. Remember, if yofr want health and, strength of mind and muscle, use Brown's Iron Bitters. The Mississippi floods are over, and the people are preparing,-to put in their crops.

For Sale The State Agricultural Depart ment, in a report based upon 1 81 re ports of special correspondent - rep. resenting every County in the State, shows that the number of acres planted in wheat this season, is 184,654 acres against 201,815 last year. The acrease in oats is 332,. 929 against 362,373 acres last year. The number of acres in rye has de creased 5 per cent, and in barley, 6 per cent. Grain sown early is re ported in the best condition, by 93 correspondents, and that sown late, by 11 correspondents. The condition of work stock is reported to be 9 per cent. better than at this time last year, owing to the fine grain crop of 1882. 75,352 tons of com mercial fertilizers were used lasi year, and it is estimated that 76, 206 tons will be used this year. The financial condition of the farmers is reported better than last year by 115 correspondents, un. changed by six, and not as good by seven. The reports generally agret that higher wages' are demanded and poorer services rendered by laborers this year than last. One hundred and twenty-five correspon dents report that less farm supplie. will be purchased this year than last and three estimate that the purchase will be larger. The statements are based upor indications on the first of March. CULTURE WITH A VENGEANCE. An examination of the youngei children of the public schools o: Boston, made by Dr. Stanley Hall showed that .18 per cent. of the number had no knowledge of a cow further than that gained from pic tures; 61 per cent. of those examin d had never seen corn growing 0 per cent. did not know wher4 heir ribs were not exactly wha hey were, while only. 6 per cent were ignorant of the locations o heir stomachs. Some of the chil ren stated that 'flour came froD the grocer, who gets it directly fron od; others said that meat is dug from the ground or picked up fron the meat tree. From these fant: Dr. Hall deduced two other facts hat a gross ignorance of practica hings may exist side by side wit! very thorough book knowledg' ad that some modificaition of t.h indergarten method is necessar: n the instruction of the young. The New York Tines says it wouk( e wise for the New England mane facturers to acknowledge their de feat on the coarser grades of good in which the Southern manufacture fnds his chief profit, and to tur thdir attention to the finer yarn prints and fancy woven fabries. STRENGTH to vigorously pushi a business, - strength to study a profession, strength to regulate a household, strength to do a day's labor with out physical pain. All this repre sents what is wanted, in the often beard expression, "Oh !
