i I HI mm mum wi?T '? "The Boys Who Never Got Homf." J ? At a recent cauipfirc given by W. II. ^ar^ent, post No. 20, G. A. It, of Janes- ' ville, Wis., Comrade Thomas T . Croft read a letter of regret from ouo of the invited guests, George W. Peek, who was unable to atteud. It is an amusing production. Says the write! : I don't know what it is, but there is something iu beans that makes men sociable and reckless. Beware of beans, 1 Tom, as y ou vuluo your future happiness. I Look not upon the bean when it is baked ^ and givetli its color in the pan, for at last j it swelleth like an accordcou and bitcth like J a cucumber. But I would like to bo thcrc> ( Thomas, aud tako the old soldiers by the J hands and look iuto the eyes that are becoming dim and notice tho effect of Father s Time's pencilings on the faces of the boys t who twenty years ago were full of vitality I aud as kilteny as any man that ever kept ^ step to the rattling of a canteen agaiust a ( cartridge box. Boys, do you realize that , you are growing old ? It is hard to realize t it, but if another war were to break out 1 your little baby that you left in its mother's ! arms twenty years ago, crowing at the'band' { me dowu' bluo uniform in which you were i disguised, would be the chap the government woul d want. Boys, you are rapidly becoming ' 'old back numbers; though you feel young enough to stub around home, you are 'exempt* now. Do you realize that the lit- ? tie baby girl that cluug to you as you said 1 good^by, twenty years ago, with tears iu your eyes as big as a glass paper weight, or an editor's diamond pin, is now a woman , married, and that another baby is trying to t utter tho word'graudpa,' when you comeio ' putting on your youthful airs? It is pleas- ' ant now to chase the fcrtivc bean around the Lome campfiro and talk of tho nights t when you slept on the ground in a pup tent, ( or on some battlefield, with your wet and ' middy pantaloon legs frozen as stifi I as a dried codfish, while you dreamed c that every star that was looking down from r above was the eye of a dear one at home t beckoning you to'Hold the Fort/ and hur- f ry up and get through with tho foolishucss and come home. You can laugh now as you ^ think how you got up in the morning after u had such u night's rest, lookiug as though a been drawn through a brush fence. You p who are left have a right to be happy, but p in the midst ot your beau bauquet let me ask you to stand up with your tin cup of t black coffoc, and driuk to 'The boys who t never got home/ the brave fellows who re- d turned not to meet the loved oues they a parted with twenty years ago. Let us hopo lj that the great congress above 'removed the tl disabilities' of the boys who left vacancies h in their regiments, and that the few chick- u ens they took in the way of business from tl the enemy will not be entered up against c them on the Big Book, but that the provost- c guard at the gates of tho New Jerusalem tl will 'present arms' to them and tell the boys a that when we all get in our work here, s1 aud are ready to join our regiment in lleav- v on, that the follows buried years ago may t stand on the parapet as we come straggling in, and give us the old soldiers, welcome a with a'three times threo' with a tiger, g And we shall say to them, 'all right, com- c rades, we should have been here before, p only we were detained by business.' c o Is it A Hoax.?The account published p in the Constitution on Sunday of the sale j, of 400 acres of mining lands in Forsyth County, of this Slate, to an Knglish mining t company, for one million pounds sterling, p has created considerable inquiry. a lu regard to it we have only to say that 0 our reporter printed precisely what Mr. u Moore told him. Since seciug tho printed a account Mr Moore says that it is correct in a every particular. That Mr. Moore has scv- d cral bank of England notes for 1,000 pounds t each is certainly true. That English cx? e perts were here, that English lawyers were r: here, that the deeds were made up and f( signed and attested by Governor Colquitt as ;| his last official act is equally true. As to b whether or not the trade will stick, and Mr. a Moore will receive his 8f? 000 000 nn4 n .i half million more be put in development of tho mine, we can say no more than the [ public can judge from tho facts as given r us by Mr. Moore. 1; Wc may say, however, what we have j( often said before?and that is that fewer u of our people appreciate the value of tho J mines of North Georgia or the stupendous t| possibilities ahead of them. The day of H adventure and chance has passed with' them. J Gold mining in Georgia is now just as much ti a business as cotton-raising in Georgia, h Under the improved machinery and meth- J ods it i9 known that a ton of ore that ii wouiu not pay tor the handling ten years p ago will now yield the richest dividends, 'j The assertion that "the whole of Forsyth County ean be bought for five million dol- M lars," is a long ways from being true. As p fast as the sterile hillsides of that county p and the adjoining counties are tunnelled a into and the cold ore disclosed, they riso C enormously iu value. c The development of the mining interests c has been steady and constant. Within the a past month throe new mills, of sixty, forty o and twenty stamps respectively, hare been ( put in opcratiou in our knowledge. As to o the Charles process of freeing the Inst partide of ore, that must make a revolution in p mining if it is a suoocss. Mr. Moore per* v suaded certain officials of the Pennsylvania v Central Railroad nnd other wealthy Philu- a dclphians to give it a trial. Thev came i down hero in a special car, bought tho Mo- li Donald mine and put up a ten stamp mill, f They are so well pleased with the experi- p mcnt that they arc now putting up three c hu idred stamps, and will spare neither oap- t ital nor soience to make it the largest and the r model gold mining work of the country, c Whether or not Mr. Moore's trade for one p million pounds sterling will stick?and he t insists there is notthe slightest doubt of it? a and whether or not this Knglish gold comes e into Georgia, all tho money that is needed u to develop tho mines of North Georgia will f come in promptly and the development will a proceed at a rate that willastouish many of o ?nr readers, ( lDDHKss OP THB STATE DEMOCRATIC I COMMITTEE. j The People Urged to Maintain the Organ i- \ zation of the Party, and Prepare by I Training and Discussion for the Com ? ' plex Issues of the Future. Rooms of the State "D Democratic Executive Committer, > Columbia, S. 0. November 22,1882. j To the People of the State. The State Democratic Committee congratulate the >coplc of South Carolina on the success vhich attended the efforts of the Democratic >arty to elect their candidates, and preservo utclligcut, just and economical rule in tho slate. It is especially gratifying to the ;ou>uiittce to kucw that peace' rcigocd hroughout the State on election day, and hat the conduct of tho election, uuder tho tringent provisions of wise laws, is unasailed and unassailable. With the excepion of a single county, whero the Democrats )laced no candidates in tho field, the whole State is in Democratic hands, and six of the levcn Congressmen are the regular candilates of the Democratic party. There is indoubtcd cause for rejoicing in such a riumph us this, especially as, for the first iuie since 1876,a determined endeavor was nade to defeat tho Democratic party by joining the labors of a lew malcoutcnt whites to the votes of the ignorant and prejudiced negroes. The political campaign on the partof our opponents was marked by vulgar virulenco, rod by unscrupulous vituperation of the most emiucut men in the Stato. The wbolo Democratic party was arruigned and conIcuincd for imaginary misconduct; and it was broadly asserted, in defiance of the facts or iu ignorance of the condition aud he needs of the State, th?t tho time had some when the Democracy should be removed from power, and be succeeded by he combination ot contradictory elements vhich, animated by the expectation of pubic pluudcr, had undertaken to oppose and Icfcut- the Democratic party. The most shameful part of tho whole luaincss is that the officers of the Federal }ovcrnment, who arc appointed for the pub ic service and whose wages are paid by the >eople, gave unhesitating, unremitting and inscrupulous support to tho anti-Democratic :audida'.cs. The election fund which was aiscd by assessments upon the tens of housands of persons ia the Government ervice was used freely in South Carolina, fhe demagogues, who pitted themselves gainst the candidates of the Democratic mrty, were sustained at all points by the fficers of the United States Government, nd by the money filched from the lean lockets of Government clerks?whether ' ioor or well-to-do, whether mcu or women ?in every part of the country. Great as he difficulties of the political situation wero, he Democracy have elected their candiatcs as the lawful and legitimate result of just administration, wise nominations and iberal principles. It is also a welcome fact bat the manner in which Federal patronage as been abused is admitted to have had luch to do with the political revolution in ' bo North aud West at the November lection. The State Committee, however, j annot be unuiiudful of the circuuistaucc hat there is in the plenitude of our strength j n clement of weakness, and that the party { hould prepare in time for a contest that rill be more severe than that through which he Democracy have passed. The platform of tho Democratic party dopted in the State Convention last Au* 1 ;ust announces, in general terms, tho priniples which should be the rule of our lolitical action and conduct. The Demoracy in thafplatform demand economy with fficicncy iu the conduct of the Government, iopular education as the bulwark of free nstitutions, honest home rule, fair trials by mpartial juries, reform of the civil service, ho prohibition of assessments upon the ublic servants, for political purposes, for ny reason and in any disguise, a reduction f the gduticsQon imports, and the sacred inintenance of the public credit, National nd State. Here is the chart for our guidncc, and if our path be illumined by tho eclaration that what we most desire is justice and equality in the State, so as to usurc harmony and good will between the aces," and that what we look to and work >r is an "indissoluble Union of indestructjle States," we cannot go astray and shall c proud of our position as Democrats and s members of the party which represents , lie great principle's of American progress, 'he Democratic party is the soul of action, t has confidence in man and an abiding cliancc in his high destiny. It seeks the ngest liberty, the greatest good. Its obuct is to build up the gre it interests of the lauy to the least detriuieut of tho few. t remembers tho past without neglecting he present. It establishes tho present rithout failing to provide for the future. t cares for the weak and permits no injusico to the strong. It is the pioneer of umuuity and the conservator of nations, t fails only when it ceases to bo true to 1 -sell. We recall here tho essential princi- ] les of Democratic faith as declared by ; 'homas Jefferson eighty years ago: "Equal and exact justice to all men, of rhatevcr state or persuasion, religious or i olitical; peace, commerco, and honest riendship with all nations, entangling alii- ' nccs with none; tho support of the Stute ovcrnmcnts in all their rights, as tho most ompctcnt administrations for ourdomestio oncerus, and the surest bulwarks against nti-Republican tendencies; the preservation < f the General Government in its whole lonstitutionul rigor as the sheet-anohor of ur peace at homo and safety abroad ; a jalous caro of the right of election by the coplo, a mild and safe corrective of abuses rhioh are lopped by the sword of revolution rbcro peaceable remedies are unprovided ; 1 bsolute acquiescence in the decisions of ho majority?tho vital principle of rcpubics, from which there is no appeal but to oroo, tho vital principlo and immediate tarcnt of despotism; a well-disciplined uililia, our best relianoo in peace and for he first moments of war, till regulars may clievo them ; the supromacy of the civil iver the military authority ; eoonouiy in the inblic expense, that labor may be lightly i urdened ; the honest payment of our deb s nd sacred preservation of the publio faith ; ncouragement of agrioulture and of comncrco. as its handmaid : the diffusion of in urination, and arraignment of all abuses t iho bar of tho public reason; freedom if religion ; freedom of tbo press ; and rccdotn of person under the protco ) lion of tho habeas corpus ; and trial by , juries impartially selected. These prinot- I pies form the bright constellation which has cone beforo us and guidod our steps through an age of revolution an 1 reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civil instruction, the touchBtone by whioh to try the services of those we trust; and should \;e wander fiptu them in moments of error or of alarm, let as hasten to retraco our steps and to regaio' the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety." A more forcible exposition of Democratic principles is no where to bo found. Whenever and wherever they have been the guide of the party the party has been successful, and its success has been honorable to itself and useful and advantageous to the country. In the judgment of tho State committee, tho active organisation of tho party in this State should bo continued, in order that the Democratic clubs may be in full vigor when the time shall como for entering upon a new political campaign. The Democratic clubs can now be made politicial schools, so to | speak, in which the principles of the Democratic party in their practical application shall be taught and oxplaiued. A generation of South Caroliuians has grown up since the secession of this State, and those who had not seen the light when the firstgun of the war was fired in Charleston Harbor are now of full age and capable of casting their.gvotc at populat elections. They have grown up in tho midst of turmoil and excitement. War was their cradle, reconstruction their nursery, revolution the attendant of their early youth. For them, ns for manv whr> nrn nliior ihn n?nf Democrat has do special significance, beyond its local and limited meaning as the designation of those who possess the intelligence, the cxpericnco and the properly in tho Stato. It is indispensable to the welfare of the Democratic party in Sonth Carolina and a paramount necessity for the maintenance of good government, that the young people of the State, and the older men besides, shall become familar with the Democratic faith as tuught by the Fathers of the Republic, and shall see in the Democratic party something mote than an agency for preventing misrule and for securing decent government in the State. The whole people should bo made to understand that only by the assertion and supremacy of Democratic principles can the United States , be maintained as tho Republic of Republics, and that only through and by tho Democratic party, which has been from the beginning the party of the people, can republican institutions in th.-ir full vigor and efficiency be maintained and preserved. There aro many complex questions that must bo decided by thj peoplo at the next election and the next, and it is needful that the people shall pass upon them deliberately and intelligently. The State Committee hope, therefore, that the Democratic clubs throughout the State will bo made a means of instructing the people, so that every good roter, by the discussion in which he shall participate and the exspositious ho Bhall hear, will be instructed as to his own rights aud the rights of h.s neighbors, his obligation to himself and those around him, his duties to tho State, aud his duty to the Union which our fathers in the original thirteen States formed nnd cemented with their blood?tho Union which, under Democratic guidance, shall be the home of liberty and progress and of comfort for all tbose who by birth or by choice, have the privilege to be called Americans and freemen.

A Busness Transac tion.?A man went into a clothing store in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and bought a hat for $3.50, left his old o ie, and said ho would pay for it when he catnc back. In half an hour he returnod, and entcriug the store met the proprietor, who was absent at his first visit. The proprietor was glad to see the man ?a neighbor ol his?but, observing his new hat, a shadow passed over his face and he said: '-Where did you buy that hat? I can sell you a hat just like that a good deal cheaper than you got it, I know." This pleased the neighbor,and, his eye twinkling, he asked how cheap ho would sell him one. "Well, you are a neighbor of mine, and you shall have one for just $1 75." "Very well," replied tho customer, "I'll take this one I have got on, which I got here half an hour ago, and just returned to pay for it," and he counted out $1 75 and departed for his suburban home, sat'sfied with his bar* gain* EN>8 AND BOY'S CLOTHING t MEN'S AND BOY'S CLOTHING I MEN'S AND BOY'S CLOTHING !
