There ia no State in'tho Union, lb which
thia o?d timo mo 'bod of mot fn$out ju ?tico to
criminals it not resorted to in case J of bei?
?oas orioles eomuitted with premeditation
And under olroatnsfaooea of groat aggrava?
lion; With' the' progrese of law and civiliza
tion-lt to rarely exercised though common in
wild and newly settled regions. In a coon?
try like ours it is never excusable, though
oases arise, at times, which seem to call for
swifter punishment than is obtainable under
the slow proooss of law. In no case d > we
believe that oalm reflection will approve
lynch law, not only because it is a violation
of law, bat beoaass innocent life may bo
taken under thc exoitemont created by an
atrocious crime We have judges, jurors o nd
all bffloials nccossary to the punishment of
crime, and tho enforcement of law according
to law has a whulosomo influeooe on society*
while the violation of law has a demoralizing
tendonoy. A case of lynching a negro wo
man occurred in Laurens Conn ty-, two- miles
nbovo Clinton on the 9th'Instant. Tito- barn
of Mr. Blalook had' been set on- fire and'
burned'on the 3d instant and tho barn was
so near tho dwelling bouse that it was con
sidered an attempt to burn it also. Susp'oioo
pointed to Judy Motts, a negro w)man living
on his place, and who bad been ohsrgod two
years ago with burning the dwelling of Mr.
Simpson. On the Otb a warrant was sworn
out against ber and on Saturday night she
was arrested by a constable, who started with
her for Clinton. Abjut two milos from
Martin's Depot a party of disguised mon took
both the constable and prisoner in charge,
and whilo somo retained the constnblo others
took off tho j risonnr. On Sunday morning
her body was found hanging to n treo about
200 yards from the point the lynohora took
ber in charge. At the inquest on Monday
tho coronet's jury returnod a vordict that she
oamo to her death by hanging, at tho bandi
of parties unknown. No one has been arrest
ed and so far none of the party ls known.
While arson is a high crime, punishable with
death, unless the jury recommend tho party
to mercy, still it is not of a oharaoter to call
for lynching, espeoinlly wbon tho building
was not a dwelling houso. To permit suoh
highhanded violations of law io suob oases
tends to disorganise society and government
and? to load people to beoomo judges and exe
cutioners in all oases. Wbeu the crime is
horrible as in rapo and murder combined &o.,
then much allowance can bo made for over
excitement and ultra legal remedios, but in
this ease no such excuse exists.

Railroad Monopolios
During the ysst tam weoka there ha? been
unusual activity ?Y? the railroad ol reina, not
only af ?tri*, St at* thjj Cf ether*. The result
hue been the formation of large combinations
consolidating and uailing, ander one manage
ment, several tends.
The Charlotte and Atlanta Air Line Railroad
has been leased to tho Riobinond and Danville
road. Tho same parties control the Greenville
sod Colombia, the Wilmington and Columbia,
and the Charlotte, Columbia Sod Augusta Rail*
toads. Thia combination, we are informed, ie
at wat with the South Carolina Railroad,
with fbe tieW of ultimately controlling
it. The owners* of the South Carolina Road
bas leased the Georgia Hoad, we supposed, in
HolMefonoe, ugainst the encroachment of Other
Combinations.
Other and Urger combinations, to oootrol
travel and freights have been negotiated and
formed, and the great thoroughfares of the
commerce of tbe country are rapidly falling Into
the hands of a money power, which supporta
and fosters the idea of a strong government.
This is not only true of railroads, but also of
other bodies'. Steamship Hors, telegraphic
companies', banking asssoclatlons, manufactur
ing and ober like corporations, combine and
thus control not only the money, the commerce,
the agriculture and manufactures of the coun
try, but also politics, both State and National.
The immense fortunes amassed so rapidly, by
those who control this ape?les of property, have
given them a power whioti has made Itself fell
not only in Congress and the Legislatures'of th?
States, but also with the judioary.
Senators and Representatives; in Congress,
not only fill their place*, na memberc
of Congress* but also as guardians o
: railroad. and' other1 corporations. Thej
They are members and also presidents and altor
njyrof'ttreSB mammoth institutions.
This' same truth Is soen in thc Legislatures
Menib?Yfc salaried by banks, railroads, &o., an
prominent in all legisla*ion. Thin power in
vaded too the judiciary, and has, Sn many in
stances, made uae of tho judges of courts to effec
ita purposes
Suoh gigantic strides of power are dangeroui
to tho govornmont.
It controls oommeroe, manufactures, agri<
culture and the currency, the money of th
oounlry.
The commerce of South Carolina has suf
forod from ils paralyzing effects more thai
any other State South. Virginia, North Carolin
Oeorgla and other States have some city in whiol
railroads center and distribute. South Carolin
commerce contributes to this end, and he
products are carried by railroads, managed i
antagonism lo her interest, beyond her bor
dem. The South Carolina Railroad under th
present management of the roads of the Stat
is the only ono whioh has a terminus in th
State. All others without an exception pa
tribute to other cities and towns beyond ht
borden, with her products. The South Caro
lina road, warred on by others, is tho only on
that now ?uds in a oity within the borders <
this State.
Our agricultural interests, manufacturing ar
commercial aro thus controlled in tho intel
esl of others, and our towns and cities are mac
and unmado at the will of this power at our oa
expense.
This may be said and can be shown to 1
true of many other States.
Tho currency tho medium of exchange,
subject to its touch.
An effort was made by the,recent Congress I

Under the prospects of the bill bcooiqing alu
thc national banks threatened a panio upon t
country, by withdrawing from oiroulalion thi
bank notes, and thus badgered the Preside
into a servia) compliance with their demam
Thus wo see from theso instances wi
power theoe combinations havo and its dang
The great question thal presents itself
the people is how is this power to bo ourt
and made to Bubservo their interests instead
their injury.
Many of tho States have passed legislatl
assuming to control it. Their legislation
many aspects has been futile. The pov
has over reached them and leaped beyond th
bounds.
States may and ought to enact laws ttl
this subject but their powern aro not st
cient. Tho Congress of the United Slates
tho only body that can offeot ibis purpose.
The constitution gives Congress the poi
to'regulate inter-Slate commerce. Under t
article congress should assume control
railroads that traverse Stato lines, and p
such laws regulating travel and freights
will be equitable and just.
This can only be done by a determined et
on the part of tho people. The influenc?e
corporate bodies have eo bent tho mindi
those in authority in the government that
effort to induce legislation of this chara?
on tbe part of Congress will bo met v

Guano, Comjuid Cotton.
ifttm. Mitora:-The question, "Dots it pay
lo neo guano, and to rai?? colton to Ult ?solu
aion of other fara products," has been din
ouaaed for a long time, aud BO deflulte oonolu
aton baa been reached. I do not proposo to go
into datait and diso UM the above fully, fer il
would take np too njuoh of your space, T will
only give jou a few too.oral remark J on it,
Our .inner? (renn year to y eur ari uni OR
biore aird nore g UH tro, and raising more ' e'ottop
and less eora, wheat ho., making it appeal
that guano doea pay, but ram by aw benni
convinced of thia feot. More cotton, if th?
seasons are good, will be made this year thai
has ever been made before Every laborer am
every horae ia busy and lhere is a demand foi
more. Our farmers seem to bt of the opiniot
thut guano ls manufactured solely for r itton
and they nae it, at least very little of it uudei
anything else.
Col. H. B. Mason, our bose guano agent, in
forma us that he hos sold at Westminster, ui
to the 11th Instant, one hundred and seventy
five tons of guano, and that the other agent
there have sold at least two hundred and tblri<
tona. Heneen City sells moro guano by levers
hundred tons than Westminster. Tulling lb
above aa a basis, I do not think, that I meko ai
over estimate, when 1 atate that two thousan>
and five hundred tons will be sold in Ooonee fo
81. Ii wilt require two thousand arid 6v
hundred bales of Sot ton, averaglug four bun
dlred and fifty pounds, at ten couts per pound
to settle that little guniiu acoount, which foot
up the nico little sum of ono hundred an
twelvo thousand five hundred dollars. Th)
amount of indebtedness rosin upon the sboul
ders ol' our farmers bet?re they put their see
into the ground. They bogia eaoh year's joui
ney loaded down with a heavy dobt, and it i
increased al every turn.
Raising corn and wheat for Bale, or eve
home consumption, is numbered with the thing
of the past. .Naturally, we havo to bu/ all <
our supplies. Our corn and wheat coote froi
the West and Northwest, and so does our baeoi
our plows, hoes, and in fact everything that a
usc have to be Imported.
In the fall onr guano money goes to Charlee
ton, Rlohmond, and other places, and the rei
of our money falls glimmering to the face .
the earth, to ppy for oiy other wants LU
tho.ghost in Hamlet; ?"Tis here"-'.'Tis herc
-"'Tis gone," end we find ourselves 1cit hi?
aud dry, ready to go into debt for Ibo eau
commodities and to come out ol the end of tl
following year still worse off. Coro, whea
oats, and a part of our bacon, if not all, mu
bo raised nt home, if we desire to make faro
lng profitable. There ls no man under the su
that can make money by farming and pay tl
heavy percentage consequent upon the pm
ohasiug of his supplies. The corn thal we bi
comes from tho West and Northwest ?hero it
worth about twenty five ceniB per bushel, fir
cost, and lo day, in Ooonee the same corn
secured here and sold for from one dollar t
lo one dollar and twenty five cents per bush)
making a profit on first cost of about four hui
hred per oent. The merchant, too, muet ha
his turu price, and to Bave himself from lc
must add on lo his regular cash prloe, abo
thirty per cent., if not moro and suoh is t
case with everything that we have to buy
time.
With ootton al nine or ten cents, and in t
face of the above, I do not sae how we o
contend that it pays to usc guano; to raise c<
ton exclusively; that we may poy from sever
flvo to two hundred per cent on all wo pu
chuso. Somo farmers tell nie that they are
debt and thal they arc compelled tc rote, oott
in order that they may pay their duliiE a
meet their current expenses. Just '.ct (hi
look huck over thu past four years, and th
will find that they have been going all tho ti
from bad to worse. Farmers in Ibis rondlil
cannot immediately mat e a radical chango n
go buck to ibo old profitable way of fat
ing bul they will have to do ao by degrees, o
the sooner they begin to inaugural! & rcfoi
tho belter. They have become so much
volved that an immediate ohange would ri
them financially.
There is no two ways about it, wo are cc
polled to monuro our lands, but oaa aa not
it io a cheaper aud more durable nay lhaa
the wholesale use of a fertilizer thal .mts u]
tho soil like whiskey on the human syst?
Cunno stimulates ami exoites, ns lt were,

years and heep the soil in a healthy coudil
by supplying thoso elements that it aotut
needs. The same amount invested ia this i
is equal to tin co or four times the amount
vested in guanos.
If we oanuot raino corn and wheat for n
kel it certainly would pay most handsomely
raise enough to supply the homo demand,
look around and what men do I find mal
money on their formst Why, those men i
raise their supplies principally nt home,
few years past we shipped corn from this ont
-now we import it by the car load after
load. Enough wheat, at the Baue time,
raised for home consumption, now His shir
to us In quantities. Only a short time si
for a merchant of this place to sell either <
or Sour, more than they had taken in, in
way of barter was unknown; now specula
in oom has beoomo a regular business and 1
rel after barrel of flour is sold here.
More oof lou and less corn and wheat,
being raised every year and just In propor
to the deorcaso are our farmers falling b
Tills a faot that oannot be contradicted. Co
is a good thing and the baekbone of the Soi
ern Slates, but it must be handled properly
lt wilt ruin us. When improperly tampered .
it proves a sure phantom to lead ut on to i
flnanoially. Every farmer strives to n
money and tries to find the quickest way to
this. Ho hopes to become rich in a short
by planting cotton exclusively, bul loo latt

Our lots in this world depend upon Indivl
