DBARCOURIKR: We will not undertake to account for our long silence, but will try and redeem" ourselves with an occa sional account of the happenings of our community. The mad deg excitement has taken the place of political hurrahs, which pre vailed when we wrote last. Several mad dogs have been passing around and bit ing quite a cumber of hogs, dogs and some other animals beside an occasional fowl. On Friday night last some kind of an animal invaded Mr. T. H. Dendy's premi ses and carried away some geese. It may have been a red fox, but some persons think it must ha v? been a bear. Mr. W. E. Dendy has returned from Atlanta. Owing to the dull state of busi ness the large dry goods house which he had been serving -for some months was forced io reduce expenses and Mr. D., being a new man in the house, was one among thirty or forty persons who lost a" position at the same time. Mr. Dendy is one of our best young men and we hope soon to see him secure a good position, which he well deserves. Mr. W. C. Foster, of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, spent a day or two at home recently. Mr. T. H. Hughs, of the B. R. & A. R. R., was at home from Friday last until last P. M., when he returned to his post of duty. The Mauldin mill, which now belongs to Mr. Harrison Sanders, is now in good running order. Mr. J. J. Ballenger has moved the Henry Cole engine from Seneca to his mill and cotton gin here and will proba bly operate other machinery in connec tion therewith. Communion, services will be observed at Richland Presbyterian church on next Sabbath, February 5. K. < A Colored Leader Dead. Robert R. Goode, aged fifty years, died quietly at his home, near Seneca, on Mon day, January 30th, instant. He had been ill for more than a year, suffering from a cancer of the tongue. He lingered until last Monday, when death claimed him as his own. Goode was a member of the Baptist church, and usually rep; sented Iiis Association in the State Conventions and other representative bodies. Ile was for a long time President of the Oconee County Sunday School Convention, of which many teachers of his race in this j county were benefited and aided in school. Many can remember the manly fight he took to save Shiloh church at Townville, of which he was a zealous member, from thc bands of a disap pointed minister, who claimed the pasto- ? rate as a life-time charge, ami the pro-1 porty individually his own. Shiloh ', church owes Goode more than they can ever rupay for his victorious stand in this , singular church case. Ile was an earnest worker for education and temperance, and was classed and ostracised as being a Democrat because he would vote with them to elect temperance men to thc Le- \ [ gislature. As a farmer he had but few equals. He was buried bv the Odd Fel lows of the Seneca Colored Lodge, w. Earle's Mills Dots. TOKEEXA, S. C., January 30, 1S93. DEAJ: COURIER ; The weather has some what moderated for the last few days, but we have had some of the coldest wea ther and the biggest snow that has been ; for several years. The farming interests have come to a standstill on account of the severe cold weather. Mrs. Lottie Orsborn, wife of K. M. Orsborn. departed this life on the L'lst of January, after a short illness, and after the funeral services, conducted by Rev. I). B. Waite, her remains were laid to rest in Bethel cemetery, in the pres ence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. We Tender our sympathies to the bereaved husband and other relatives.

John ',. a , stirring farmer and makes his living ar j home. Mr. H. IL Simons' little son happened I to a painful, but uot serious, accident the ! other day. He was bitten by a dog that was thought to have had hydrophobia. , but we are glad to say it was a mistake. Mr. L. R. Lemons, who has been in ; Abbeville and Anderson counties in the j photo business, is at home again. Well, if you don't want your dog killed j you had better keep him tied at home, i There have been several mad dogs in this I community, and if a dog is caught out j from home without his owner it is rough j on him. There is a flourishing school at Cross i Roads under the competent teacher. Mr. j H. I.. Singleton. Mr. Singleton is a j splendid teacher, ami we think the trus ; tees did well in getting him to teach for them. We lind from talking to the farmers around here that they intend to plant !ess cotton this year than they did last, and we think it a good idea, and we hope that all the farmers throughout the State j will do likewise. NKD Tonn. In the ?louse of Representatives, on the ^Sth of January, eulogies were de livered on the death of Col. E. T. Stack house. Among others. Col. McLaurin of this State, his successor, is report?e hythe Constitution as follows: "Mr. Mc Laurin's speech was his maiden effort which was a fairly a good one until lu branched off and commenced speakin/: of the reforms which had been going or in South Carolina since the war. H? spoke of the State having been controllc< by au aristocracy before the war whicl said that the abolition of slavery ha< given the working people and the farm ers an opportunity to assert their rights He described the leading men in Soutl Carolina before the war as an indolent defiant and uncompromising set of ty rants. But the war had removed th shackles of caste and the artificial dis tinction of classes had been abrogated The farmers and working men had claim ed their God-given rights and boldly am defiantly entered the political arena The old aristocracy had held negro domi nation perpetually before the people a inevitable res t of division. Foratimc by this means, they had held the peopl in check, but at last, like some might giant, the people aroused from thei lethargy and elected*Benjamin R. Tillma as Governor in IS90. His speech wa abusive of the people who had oppose Tillman and eulogistic of the Tillmanitei Mr. McLaurin's speech, too, created sensation, and the young member ha been severely criticised by his fellow members."

The Carter Merchandise Co. Sooth Carolina's Manufactories. The Atlanta Journal, in an article on the condition of South Carolina, says: "The South Carolina newspapers, which have been devoting so much space to picturing the disaster and woe result ing from Governor Tillman's administra tion, ought to find profitable reading in the report of the progress of the c?tton industry in this country, made by the Texas World, and published a few days ago in the Journal. This report shows that the increase in the number of opera tives, looms and spindles employed in cotton manufacture during the past year was greater in South Carolina than any, other Southern State; that as many new cotton factories were started in' South Carolina during the year as in Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Tennessee combined; that, in short, the Palmetto State leads the great New South in the manufacture of the South's leading staple and stands second only to Massachusetts in all the Union. The showing is a splendid one, one of which Carolina may well be proud and on which we tender our congratula tions. But we cannot overlook the fact that all this remarkable progress and de velopment has taken place under the Tillman administration, a fact which some of our Carolina contemporaries seem to have strangely and studiously ig nored. An administration marked by such industrial advancement as this can not be so bad after all." Hog and Hominy. Some days ago we witnessed a novel sight on the streets of August... A farmer had a load of dressed hogs for sale. Western salt pork sells in this market for 11 cents a pound. This fresh pork, Georgia raised, did not bring over 7 cents. Mr. Nathan Newman, of Blythe, is the Richmond county farmer who raises his own hog and hominy. There arc doubt less many others in this county and in this section who are solving the problem of the independence of Southern farm ers. In a letter in yesterday's CJtronic'" from Mr. Marion McDaniel, of Columbia county, he states that Ceorgia raised com is for sale in that county at 50 cents a bushel, while Western corn, in car load lots, is sold at. CO cents in the Augus ta market; These facts demonstrate that corn and meat can 1?; raised profitably in Georgia. In South Carolina there are numbers of farmers who raise their own provisions. No matter how cheap Western food supplies can bc purchased, they are dear at any price to the Southern farn ?Ts .vS pursues the ruinous policy of all conon and no food crops. The farmers of every Southern State were always prosperous when they lived at home, and never so since they have drawn their food supplies from the West. In tin; instances mentioned, we find that Georgia corn and meat are cheaper than the same articles offered for sale from the West. When our farmers make np their minds to make the raising of food crops the first consideration, their cotton will necessarily become a surplus or money crop. It will then command remunerative prices that will make them prosperous and independent. There is a great mission for the Farm ers' All ?anec. Let the Alliance be re established and conducted in accordance with ?ts first principles. Let it eschew politics as an organization and devote itself to making the Southern farmer self supporting and independent. In this mission the Alliance will have no com petition, lt will have the sympathy and support of every man ami woman in thc South. In keeping down the eottor acreage and in encouraging the raising bf food crops, the Alliance hana great field and will accomplish tts best work An agricultural community that risks all in the .-nit ?vat ion of one crop and thai is rendered impecunious by overproduc tion-that negTects'the raising of bread and meal-that is constantly impov erished for supplies that can be produced' in abundance on its own farms and plantations-can never become indepen dent of debt: can never become self-sus faining or prosperous -Augusta Chroni cle. w~nen Batv was sick, we g?.ve her Castorf?, Wheu shews; CY ' ' erieU io- Easton*.

C., January 24.- Assist ant Adjutant General* Buchanan returned to the city to-day and hasniide a detailed report to the Governor on th<^alleged ill treatment of French and Italian laborers in the phosphate mines, of this State. This report confirms all that-was said in .the complaint of the French and Italian Consuls. The Italian complaint had not been received when he left here, tc*ere iure he had only the French complain!* V ; investigate. He says in his report th; ; I he found six Frenchmen imprisoned in .the mi: , es under guard, who know noth ing of the English language and-are una ble to make known their complaint,- as all the overseers are Italians. The only alleged reason for their detention was that they were in debt to the store keeper. Investigation showed that they were forced to buy their supplies from the Italian store keepers, and at such prices as they pleased to charge them: that they are worked wholly by Italian bosses and are as helpless as though they had no tongue at all, so far as making thc abuses known to any one. The report further states that at one time these men were actually shot into by one of these bosses with a gun loaded with small shot and several of them wounded. The Ital ian wdio did the shooting has, in the meantime, run away to New York.- The condition as described in the report is one of thorough and complete slavery. The report concludes with the opinion that the remedy is beyond the power of the State, and should lind ?ts permanent relief in the extension of the national law on immigration. ..But," it concludes, ''I would recommend that a detective he employed to investigate the condition of work in these mines, ami to report any violation of the law." The liquor dealers of the State have organized an association to fight tin dispensary law. It includes men of nearly every county, and a determined effort will be made to show that the law is unconstitutional. The first move In this direction was made last week when a petition was read before the Supreme Court for the issuance of arnie t<> re quire the town council of ( hester tc show cause why a write of mandamus should not issue requiring them to grant a liquor license for one year to certain parties in that town. The petition shows that the council refused to grant licenst for the full year because of the passage of the dispensary law. Thej issued a license for six months. The petition alleges that the Ad of 1SSS allowing the town council te grant license to sel? liquors is mandatory and that the dispensary law is unconsti tutional for the following reasons: That it is an Act to raise revenue for thc State and should have originated in tin House instead of the Senate: that the hil was not read three times in the House subject to which the Act relates is noi expressed in its title, as required by tli< constitution: that it clothes the Governot of the State with power prohibited bi the constitution; that power was neve: de1 {?ted by the people of South Caro lin to enter into a mercantile business to sell spirituous liquors for the purpose of revenue: that it was never delegated ;. the state gi ?vernment to create a monopol; for itself in the sale of liquors: that n< power was ever delegated to appropri?t) SsiO.ooo to carry on such business by tie State.
