Tho nows from Columbia in rofuronco to Governor Kllorbo's condition is not so onoouraging or hopeful. However bis illness has not taken any ohango for tho worso since lost wook. Dr. .hunos Evans, of Floronco, has boon called to Columbia for consultation with Dra. Taylor and Babcock. Dr. Evans is a personal friond of Gov. Ellorbo's and is tho physician of tho Governor's family. Tho protracted illnoBSO? tho Governor hos aroused much alarm among his friends. Ho is just now on tho brink of consumption, which may spare him for many days or may torminato his career in a short time. Black Diamond Sparkles. Messrs. M. W. Coleman, K. M. Rich ardson, E. M.

Harrison and R. T. Jnyncs, of Walhalla, attended tho moot ing called at Anderson on Tuosday last in tho interest of tho Black Diamond Railroad. Delegations from other cities and towns along tho proposed routo wore also in nttondanco. It was decided to mako a survoy from Port Royal to Anderson without delny. Tho money to pay tho oxponeoB of tho survoying corps was pledged by the citios and towns South of Anderson. A survoy was mado several years ago from Anderson via Townvillo and Westmin ster to tho Georgia line. This will be soul in to tho authorities of tho lllack Diamond system for consideration. A survoy will also bo made North of An derson by tho towns of Pendleton, Seneca, West Union and Walhalla, which will alBO bo submitted. Going South from Anderson two lines will also bo run, ono via Greenwood, anothor via Abbovillo. A doop interest is mani fested in tho proposed enterprise by tho pcoplo of our State, and it may bo taken for granted that they wiP do their full share to got tho road, lt id sincerely to bo hoped that the scheme may not tor minato in failure. Tho surveys can bo mado at comparatively small cost, tho big nionoy will bo required to build and equip tito road. Tho estimate is $.">(), OfXkOOO. This is a largo sum and the purpose is to get it in London. Hon. T. M. Dickson is there now as tho financier of tho enterprise. Ho luis not yot suc ceeded in raising tho money, but hopos to do so, and so do we. Tho Legislature. Tho Gonoral Assembly has adjourned after hoing in session about six weeks. Its deliberations aro marked more by what it refused todo than by what it did. In our judgment there has been much wis dom exhibited in non action at this time. Thoro wore several changes of laws, in our opinion, that ought to have boen mado that wane not: still there have been many bills killed which never ought to havo found their way before t he body. Taking all together we feel that tho assembly has done well. Tho session has been almost entirely devoid of factional feeling; no unpleas antness has been exhibited, and very little personal abuse has been indulged ill. Old alignments seem to have given way to new ami hotter motives. The good of the State has been moro con sidered, irrespective of faction, and this is a feature for congratulation. Wliile little has been accomplished in tho way of enacting new laws, much good sonso has been shown in killing bills proposed winch would have accom plished no purpose and encumbered thc statutes and confused tin; law. In all something like ??O hills wore in troduced, and of this number it is safe to say that not more than UH) will find their way into tho statutes. Tho General Assembly spent several days in discussing the dispensary law, which will, to all appearances, result in 00 change. This wc think unfortunate, for we feel that any county desiring to prohibit tho sale of whiskey hi its bor ders should be permitted to do so. And again wo think that some law is neces sary to prevent the corrupting influences of amassed whiskey. The lobbying of tho Stato Board of Control In tho Gene ral Assembly ?B disgraceful. Thoro was nothing done with thc County Government law except tl e pas sage of an act explaining its terms and perfecting it. Women Should Know lt. Many women suffer untold agony and misery because tho nature of their dis ease ?H not corroctly understood. They have booti led to believe that womb trou ble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for tho many ills that besot womankind. Nouralgia, nervousness, headache, putfy or ?lark circles under tho eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in tho back, weakness or bearing down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine, with strong odor, frequent de sire to pass it, with scalding or burning sensation, Bodimcnt in it after standing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, aro signs of kidney and bladdor troublo. Tho abovo symptoms aro often attrib uted by tho patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. I lenco so many fail to obtain relief, because they aro treating, not the disoaho itaolf, but a rolloction of tho pri mary causo, which is kidney trouble. In fSct, women ns well as men are nenie miserablo with kidney and bladder troublo, and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is tho groat discovery of tho eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug atoro for fifty cents or one dol lar. To provo its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

KiuToitB COUIUKH: Your corrospond unt (D. J. M.) ?B a little mistaken wkou }io says "wo admit that all mon have a right to thoir opinion." Wo think wo only said that wo aupposod your corres pondent from Kuturu had tho samo right to his opinion as wo havo to ours. Hut wo will nay now that neither of UB, nor any other man, lins a right to an opinion unlcsB that opiuiou is a roaaon ablo ono. Now, wo aro glad to know that when wo say that seven avorago bales of cotton cannot bo grown on ono aero of land that we spoak tho senti ments of nino-toutha of tho farming olasB of pooplo in our country. D. J. M. aays "tho idea is net to increase tho numbor of bales." Now, if wo plaut tho limbless varioty of cotton aud make seven bales por aoro instead of one-half hale how does ho expect to prevent ail increase unless WO could reduce thc acrcago? This is hardly probable. D. J. M. is obliged to know thatovory offorl tho farmers havo mado to roduco tho cot ton acrcago in thc South lias boon a mis ciahlc failure and results in au iuoroast instead of a doproaso. X>, J. M. tolls us that Thomas P. Hill of Georgia, planted this limbless varioty. Ile admits that it growod fourteen foo high and mado three bales por aoro Well, now, according to his own stato mont, tho sum is put to UB in this shape If an nero of land, planted in cotton, an< tho cotton grow fourtcon foot high makiug tb roo bales, thou how higl would it have to grow to make BOVOI Indes'.' AB WO havo never boon to achoo much wo aro not good on a calculation though it would probably havo to gro\ moro than thirty foot high, whioh w< think is an impossibility. Wo hopo ?om school boy will work this Bum for us. Now wo aro not sui prised, nor me mori/.od, at tho recent ndvauco in th price of cotton. This is an old dodge c tho speculators, simply to induco th farmers to plant another largo crop o cotton. Tho ad vaneo in prices alway comes after tho cotton ?B out of tb hands of th? farmer. No bonoflt n< crues to tho mon who made tho cottoi but only to tho speculators. No ono i to blame for this state of affairs oxcor the farmer. Every man is procisoly whl he has mado himself, and Ins conditio is just ns ho bas mado it. In tho summer, after our crops ba\ been about half cultivated and layed-b; we sit around in tho shade, oat wato melons, let forty or llfty bales of ti host kind of hay fall down and rot in tl Held, and tho next winter wo havo to bti hay to feed our cattlo on or nearly gr thom away, because wo havo nothing i feed them on. In tho winter timo, when wo ought I be hauling leaves, trash, otc, makii compost for our next crop, wo aro stam lng around tho grocery stores, talkii about hard times, cotton problems, prii of guano, etc., when, in reality, lhere no cotton problem, nor hard times. J to tho cotton problem, just any comino sense man, if bo will only think a littl can seo tho wholo trouble and solutio Just any of us can remember only u fe years sinco when wo only mado six m lion bales of cotton and wo got ten twelve cents per pound for it, ami nc we make twelve million bales and > only get four and livo cents per pom for it, heneo wo Bee wo don't got much money for tho twelve million bal as we got for six million bales. Now, does it not seem roal down-rig foolish for tho people to make six m lion bales of cotton just to give away a lot of speculators. Our friend, J. W. Sbelor, not lo since, offered to sell us ono hundr bushels of corn for sixty dollars caf and we aro obliged to acknowledge ji here that he is tho only editor ,vo ev knew who had corn to sell. Hut no supposo he bad told us that be wot rather Rive us two hundred bushels I sixty dollars than one hundred ; of coin wo would have taken it; but wo woi have thought bo was a very strange nu Now, this is precisely tho way tho far ors are doing. They rather givo t speculators twelve million bales of c ton than six millions for the same amor of money. Aa to tho hard times, we know mos matters aro tight. Wo have no mom simply because wo have mado nono, a wo cannot reasonably expect other ni to make it and givo it to UB. Tho roan wo have not made money is simply I causo wo have been sponding all of ( time making cotton at a prioo below actual cost. Under these cireumstam wo think our condition is as good as could reasonably oxpect. This is alu tho best country in tho world nitor i K very thing is cheap, people can livo lr cheaper than any whore olso. Soveral days tho first of last, wcok had ice cream almost without cost. ( cow g.'ivo ns tho cream, Cod sont us 1 ice, and a first-class freezer from I Northeast, and wo only had to mix t llavor to suit our tasto. Hut wo B don't believe thoro is ono acre of lam! our whole Stato that will make so< average bales of cotton. Yours, tva, J, A. Coon Kort Madison, S. C., February '21. Mrs. Al. W.

C., February 21, -1800. Tho General Assembly has hoon run ning unctor high pressure for tho past wook or mori. Tho prohibition bill of Mr. McCullough, of ti icon vii io, wa? killed by a large majority. Aud tho local op tion measuro of Kx-Lloutonant Governor Mauldiu followed in quick succossion, aud was also killod. Tho advorse action of tho HOUBO on th c?o two propositions seems to havo determined tho BOUBO of tho body that there was to ba no mate rial chango of tho policy of tho Stato for tho present on the whish'oy problom. It itr true that tho Senate passed tho bill of Sonator Archer to submit tho question of "dispensary" or "so dispensary" to tho voters of the several counties of tho State, but coming over from tho Senate it was never reached on tho House Calen dar and in common with nil other bills unconsidered, wan continued over until noxt session. Af tm a hard struggle I succeeded in get t lng tho bill to exempt Oconoo County from tho special provisions of tho dis pensary law allowing tho establishment of dispensaries in .Seneca and Walhalls without a vote of tho citizens, through tho House, but this measuro Bout over to tho Sonato, was, on motion of Sonatot Aloxandor, -continued, and justice am equality is thoroby denied ta our peoph for tho present, although wo wore mulei tho impression that our Senator was full} lu accord with tho spirit of this bill t< put prohibition count ios on an oqualit; with all other counties of tho Stato, am to roliovo thom from an unjust discrimi nation. It is bolioved that tho friends o tho dispensary by their unfairness nm persistency in forcing this measuro upoi tho pooplo of tho State without tho voie of tho votoi'B aro but "heaping up wratl against tho day of wrath." It ?B impracticable for mo to givo ovoi a briof roviow of all tho measures whlol havo boon rushed through tho Lcgislii turo during these Inst days of tho sossior Thoro havo boon some very importan measures passed which will bocomo law Not tho least among theso is tho Act t regulato fire insuranco and to provon combinations and tariff associations opt rating in tho State. For yoars thia Stat has felt tho effeots of tho arbitrary rate of tho S. K. Tarriff Association, wide this Act is intended to provont. Tho Act to prevent monoplics in th business of telephone and tolegrnp companies In this Stato, by providing method whereby competing lines an companioB may seeuro tho right of a wa for their wires along tho railroad lines i Ll)?H Stato, wc hopo will promoto tli publie interest. Tho Act providing for tho granting < charters to railroad, canal and stcai boat companies by tho Secretary of Stat wo boliovo to bo a wiso and cconom measure, and if rightly and wisely ai ministered will save tho Stato thousani of dollars annually, for as you havo sc( from tho report of our Loglslativo pr cccdlngs, those railroads and other ii corporations havo tho right of way tho Goneral Assembly, and consumo a nually alargo part of tho time and r tention of tho Assembly at very boa oxponso to tho Stato, and horoaftor hope wo shall no longer bo called upi to grant theso cha. tors, as many of thc after tboy have secured from tho Stn theso valuable franchises, do not f years build thoir roads. Theso aro on a few of the important measures onactc which wo hopo will promoto tho pub good. Tho bill to exempt a certain portion Oconco county fi om tho operation of t general stock law will become au A and wo hope will provo satisfactory.
