Now that the strike is about end ed. there is a general feeling of regret that the victory was not with the operators. This popular sym pathy for them is not whimsical founded on the bare prejudice sup posed to exist against corporations, nor on any spirit to elevate labor over capital; but arises naturally from the patent injustice of this particular case, as shown by - the facts. On the one side an excep tionally intelligent, well-behaved, hard-worked and illy-paid class of employees. On the other a strong combination of money whose -aim seems to be, out of this flesh and blood to derive as large dividends and surplus capital as possible, without paying the legitimate expenses their creation, viz: an adequate compensation for the human mater ial so used. The demand is, that before the present enormous amounts are pass ed to the dividend account or (for ery employment) invested in extra vagant property, there shall be de ducted therefrom enough to fairly compensate the intelligent skill and patient labor 'used as the prime factors in creating these amounts. They will even then be left amply large to pay legitimate and hand some dividends and to make such investments as will keep the com pany safe and sound. If the company does not in this instance voluntarily make some concessions to the operators, it will be, but another case of the overpower ing of the right by might; and the operators- have only left for the time the satisfaction of a battle well fought for principle, and the hope that somehow it 'will eventually triumph; while now they furl their flag amid the half-sneering, half~ pitying whispers: "a lost cause." Whatever may be the different opinions as to Senator Butler's views on the road and labor ques tions, all gratefully acknowledge his efforts on these practical sub jects. IEt wil! be a better day for us when public men more generally employ their time and talents less in speechmaking on empty or dead h. political questions and more in studying and trying to solve such -- economical, substantial questions which everywhere in the State daily confront even~ the humblest citizen. one thing perhaps has made C iken so strong in his Con gressional District as his patient and laborious efforts in establishing convenient postoffices throughout his territory. So no effort of Sena tor Butler, not even his reply to the Senator from Maine, is more highly appreciated than that in behalf ot better-roads in our State. He is striking in the right direction; and however, he may be in error, as regards the regiedy or details sug gested by him, he has achieved the main object, viz: drawn attention to and elicited criticism on the mat. ter; which, we confidently expect, will eventually result in an improve ment of our roads, either under the old system-probably amended, or under some better system. The Press and Baltner has, in its last issue, some timely words on the amenities of journalism. We commend them to ourselves and our brethren. It does strike us that too many of the press take up time and space in impugning the motives of those who differ from them which should be used in discussing the merits of the issue-assuming that all are honest in their convictions, unless.dere be clear evidence to the coligary. Again we are, too much given to tak. ing up whole columns in issue after issue trying to vent some personal spleen or gratify some personal prejudice-it may be, concerning a matter about which the public cares as little as Jay Gould does about the public. The Kentucky election was held on the 6th, and Proctor Knott, a' Democrat, was elected. There was much drunkenness and disorder in Louisville, and ten prominent j'oli ticians were arrested in one ward for bribery. Two negroes were killed, two were mortally wounded, and three other-men, two %f them white, were seriously injured. JUDGE LYNCH N GEORGIA. A WIFE MURDERER AD $ S AOOM PLICE HANGED BY A NOB ATLANTA, GA., August 11.-On Tuesday morning last, in Miller County, Joe Fulford, a farmer, with the aid of Harry Bradley, a negro, brutally murdered his wife, who at the time was unable to turn herself in bed. The negro beat her over the head with a club until she was insensible. Then her husband choked the remaining spark of life out. Fulford-then hired his accom plice and another negro named Reuben Robertson to haul the body to Spring Creek, a mile and a half away, and sink it in the deepest part of the water. Fulford then reported her absence, and sought to create an impression that she had committed suicide by drown ing. The neighbors searched the country all Tuesday evening and night. On Wednesday the body was found, having risen to the sur face of the water, and marks were found upon her body bearing out the facts given above. Fulford was arrested, but denied his guilt, and remarked that he would not have had his wife murdered for five dollars. The two negroes were then arrested on suspicion from some language they were heard to use, and they made a full confession, giving the facts as re cited. A Coroner's jury rendered a verdict charging the three men with the crime. A preliminary trial was had at Colquitt yesterday, and they were held for murder. There Was talk of burning the trio af a stake in the court house yard, but wiser counsel prevailed. Between 10 and 12 o'clock last night, however, Ful ford and Harry Brady were taken from the* jail and hanged to a con venient timber near the jail. Their bodies were perforated with bullets. Fulford's father is a man of con siderable means, and is respected by his neighbors. The general sen titent of the country will approve the act of "Judge Lynch," since within two years two innocent wo men have been murdered in the same vicinity. In one case two of the guilty parties escaped punish ment by breaking jail and fleeing the country. The famous Kimball House, prob ably the largest Hotel building in the South, was totally consumed by fire at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. The value of the building and fur niture was upwards of $500,000. and the insurance only $80,000. The building of the Gate City Na tional Bank and the stores of sev eral merchants were also consumed. The total loss is said to approach a million dollars-with only $200,. 000 insurance. In the vaults of the bank were some $500,000. in money and other valuables- These are probably safe. The Hotel was the joint property of Robt. Toombs, John Rice and Joseph P. Thomp son. Mr. Scoville, the proprietor of the hotel, alone lost some $10, 000, his insurance being only $1. 200.* The fire is thought by some to have originated accidentally in the barroom under the Hotel; by others to have been of incendiary origin. It was in all probability accidental. 'This beats Newberry as to the extent of the fire but not as to in surance. While many of Charleston's citizens are having a gay time in the mountains and at other summer resorts, those left at home are mak ing the best of it. Tuesday's issue of the News and Courier' contains a long and interesting account of the ceremonies had there on Monday iff honor of that day being the Centen nial Municipal Birthday of Charles ton. St. Michael chimed, the can non roared, bunting flew, busts of Hayne and Pettigrew were unveiled, Mayor Courtenay spoke, Rev. Mr. Johnson prayed, Paul Hayne sang, and it was altogether a memorable gala day! !_____ Strength to vigorously push a business, strength to study for a profession, strength to regulate a household, strength to do a day's labor without physical pain. Do you desire strength? If you are broken down, have no energy, feel as if life was hardly worth living, you can be relieved and restored to robust health and strength by taking Brown's Iron Bitters, a sure cure for dyspepsia, malaria, weak ness and all diseases requiring a true, reliable, non-alcoholic tonic. It acts on the blood, nerves and muscles and regulates ev-ery part of the system. Ku KLUX IN FAIRFIELD. Dr. Isaiah Simpson, the well known dentist of Winsboro, was assaulted by eight masked men while on his way home from prayer meeting, in company with a lady, last Wednes day night, and severely beaten. No cause for the outrage is known. A WEEK OF PRAYER.-The pres ent week has been assigned by the General Conference of the Metho dist Episcopal Church South as one to be devoted to special prayer for the various interests of the church and country throughout the bounds of the church jurisdiction. That prince of dades, Oscar Wilde, arrived in New York Satur day, minus his locks, and dressed like a rational being. He has come to superintend the rehearspil of his new play '"Vera," to be produced at Union Spuare Theartre August 20. Three negroes have been arrested in Spartanburg for attempting to poison the family of Andrew Daniel by puttitig strychnine in the cofe . GREENWOOD, August 12.-W. J. Carr; white, who has been a citizen of this Jlace since. January last, :was shot irthe arm'by J. S. Bailey, _last night, while committing a rob bery in the store of Bailey, Barks dale & C. Carr is from Hamburg. Nothing further is known of him here. A. J. S. [News and Courier. Dr. J. M. Klein, Walterboro, S. S. C., says: "Brown's Iron Bitters have given universal satisfaction. They are famous." Three negro preachers of Colutn bia were put into jail, within a week, for offenses common among the lay men of their race. The great telegraph strike re mains unchanged, except that it has extended itself into Mexico. Over 7,000,000 hags (on four legs) entered Chicago in a year, and not one of them left the city alive. Two Mormons invaded Chester last week, but they "sloped" rather suddenly. ,A Blessing in Disguise." 484 ADELPHI ST., BROOKLYN, N. Y., March 29,1881. No family should be without Ar.ccK's Poaous PLaSTERS; their be-.i, powers are wonderful and their efDacy far reaching and lasting. For years past I have seen and known them to cre and relieve the most obstinate and distressing cases of rheam atism, kidney complaint, bronchitis, neural gia, lumbago, Inflammation of the lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma, spinal weakness, and coughs and colds. In my own case they have afforded me almost instant and permanent relief. My friends consider them an Invaluable and speedy remedy for all kinds of aches and pains. They are a bless ing in disguise; and no wife or mother should be without them if she values her peace and comfort and freedom from nerv ous exhaustion and other ailments. As a strengthening plaster, also for backaches and weaknesses, they have no equal. I have never yet found a plaster so efficacious and stimulating, or to give so much geperal sati? faction. Used in connection with BiAND RET's universal life-giving and life-healing Pr,s, no one need despair of a speedy re storation to good sound health. MRS. E. TOMPKINS. ONE TRIAL. If you have been using other Plasters one trial of ALLCOCK'S PonOUS will convinceyou of their wonderful superiority. Take no other so called porous plasters that claim to be better, they are all frauds gotten up to sell on the world-wide reputation of the genuine article. April 3,14-3m, eow. LETTER FROM GLENN'S SPRINGS. MESSRS. EDITORS:-MajorJuo. P. Kinard, from your place, gave to the -guests of this place and people of the vicinity-numbering in all about 200 or more, a remar' ,ble and novel entertainment of his own genting up. The Hall in the hotel was completely crowd ed by an attentive and appreciative audience. The Major seems to have a fine talent as a theatrical manager, and his corps of actors was well managed. His principal one was what he styles his human African mocking bird in the person of a colored man, who whistles and sings comic songs in a peculiar and original style. There was also some fine dancing on the old time darkey, double shuffle order, which brought down the house and was loudly applauded. After the Major closed and returned his thanks, he was congratulated by ali and requested to again get up something for ti a amusement of the guests and he Intends to do so very soon. When he returns to Newberry he Intends taking his corps with him and ex hibiting there, and also his theatrical talent. Altho' there Is quite a crowd here, there is room enough for more, and all will find who come here, the healthful influence of the Glenn's Spring water, and will be looked after and provided for by the Messrs. Simpson who, altho' not possessed of the hypocritical urbanity and deceitful toadyism of the hotel keeper of the age, are possessed of that quality more excellent and reliable. noazar and TRUTH. There has'not been (tho' many good effects or the water and climate are noted) any existence of so sudden a cure and restoration to health as was effected by the Major upon the editor of the NawEaBY HERaa, who you knew was suddenly and completely 'renovated and toned up by the Mayor's shower bath, and left for home on the following day. We hope his restoration was permanent as hehas not returned. Many of the prominent men, both politically and socially, are in attendance here, and Glenn's is now not only a pleasant place for the health -seeker but also the pleasure seeker. Trust we will see you here again soon. B. (COMMUNICATION.) .Aes8rs. Editors:-Is it correct to say: "Where are the sli7ot and powder?" or "Where is the shot and powdler ?" Please answer through your paper, and g'ive the reason for your opinion. Respectfully, ENQUIRER. "Where is the powder aud shot ?" is in our opinion correct, and, to say the least, the better expression;, for the same reason that we say: "Where is the bread and butter?" and not "Where are the bread and butter." To our cars the singular of the verb is certainly the more natural; for both of these questions were often on our tongue in boyish life and wve can't re call ever asking: "W~here are the bread and butter." "Where are the shot and powder?"; but remember always bawl ing out "Where is the bread and but ter." "Where is the shot and powder." You see therefore how natural it is for us to embrace that side of the question; we have, however, -called on the grammarians for authority support ing our position, and are gratified to find that they uphold the language of the average boy in this instance. Reed & Kellogg's "Higher Lessons in English," page 227, lays down the recognized general rule as follows: "When a verb has two or more sub jects connected by and it must agree with them iii the plural." He then enumerates the exceptions to this rule; two of which only we nteed meAtion. "Exception 5. When several sub jects follow the verb each subject may be emphaxsized by making the verb agree with that which stands nearest. as, Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory." Our case does not, however, in our opinion, fall un der this exception; for in the sentence there are not several subjects following the verb; nor is either of the two that do follow it intended to be emphasized. We quote this exception simply to show that the general rule is by no means unbending. "Exception 1. When the connected subjects * * * name several things taken as a whole. the verb must be in the singular, as, Bread and milk is excellent." The same idea Is' expressed by Mr. Holmes, on page 171 of his grammar, as follows: "But, if the nominatives form a single though compound conception the verb is put in the singular; as, Bread and butter is very good diet." Under this exception falls our cas9e. In speaking of shot and powder we have in mind "a single conception" ammunition-compounded of "shot and powder." These articles named are "taken as a whole." Shot and pow der isto the gun, what bread and butter is to the boy-its motive power-its diet.
