H., SOUTH CAROLINA, APRIL 29, 1887.' l" /' NUMBER 17. * /. THE STOHY OF A DEAD TOWN. At a time and a place there was a village. It was scattered over beautiful green hills, nuiODg groves and sections of woodland, the houses were divided by cultivated fields and connected by sociable foot paths. A decrepit railroad joined it to the outside world through intervening miles of hills, valleys and virgin forests. The village was happy and pcacoful; its peopio wero frugal, honest and thrifty. A few of thorn were ambitious and they ttrrcd tho tillage from its long and pleasant slumber to tho effort needed to bring to it the main line of a great railroad. Then the Tillage woke to ucw and busy life. It spread and grow; new houses, stores, waro houses, churches and factories went up as fast as brick could be laid and nails could bo driven. New streets were opened, new people crowded in from every direction, tho noiso of industry was loud and constant and trade rushed to it as a centre from a wido expanding territory. Business of every kind was booming, and as tho village grew to a town and tho town became a oily, the citizens became prouder and moro sanguine, and hardly knew a limit to their hopes. After a while troubles came. Railroads pooled and destroyed froight advantages; bad crops further lessened trado; panics paralyzed the business of the country, and every industry languished and suffered for money; some of the city's people who had invested in local enterprises suffered severely, but the city retained an abundance of cash capital for her needs; her merchants maintained their standing and credit and their conditions appeared to be wholesomo and hopeful. They appeared to bo so, but they wore not. The town was dead. Its people had lost their public spirit, courage and energy, and sooial, political and commercial lends bad taken from thorn tho power of acting together. Those who bad monoy kept it or invested it away from the place it bad been made. The few who remained hopoful and ambitious had those qualities gradually crushed out of tly'lbj re^"^gamzauons formed foV tho public welfare perished for the lack of quorums ; all at 'tempts to hold publio meetings perished ; enterprises were suggested and urged and nobody could bo got to consider them or to risk a dollar on tbem ; nobody would put out any money otherwise than on mortgages with secured ten per cent. Nobody would leave hones or counting houses or let go a dime for the public advantage. Timj went on. The town did not stand still. Its trading territory gradually shrank. Other towns to tho right, to the left, before and behind drew her trade. Merchants closed their doors and departed as their trado dried up ; as young men grew up they went away to find more lifs aud better fields for labor ; one industry after another was removed; fires destroyed somo and there was nobody to restore them ; owners of burned property collected their insurance money and carried it with them clsewhero, glad to leave. Tho town dwindled and dwindled. One street nfter another was captured by grass, weeds and brush. Second growth woods closed in on all sides, leaving the clearing smaller each year. Empty stores and dwellings stood in long rows, silent and desolate, with the rank growth of weeds overshadowing tho roses and flowers rooted in happier times by tho care of hands then far away or cold in death. Of the factories, churches hotels and warehouses only the walls, with empty spaces where windows had been and rotten floors and roofs remained. The educational institutions were in tho samo condition, having peiished for lack of strong local patronage that gave them lifo. It was a court house town and it gradually settled down to its Btartiog point around it* county buildings, post office and boarding houses. It had become a flag station on the railroad at whioh nobody stopped, and in its littl egroup of stores the proprietors yawned and played checkers among their dingy stocks all day and plowed thoir several ways home at night across the wrnd grown lots of houses where bats and owl*, snakes and lizzards bad found homes. Tho arrival of a wagon was an excitement which brought every man to his door. A smarter, ngwer nod brighter town in the county at last captured the court bouse and jail, the post office of the old town was abolished and the last inhabitant fob lowed thoso institutions?all save one. lie was a wealthy property owner in the besl days of the town ; he had nover attondec a meeting or gathering of any kind, boinf too busy by day and too tired by night and withal dreading a subscription list 01 an application to take hold of some new thing. But his faith that somebody would do something without his help, o which he would reccivo mo3t of tho benefit, had never faltered. Tho land where the towu had Mood was too much cut up and eooutnbcrcd for agricultural use and was left wild, end the Last Inhabitant wandered alone through weeds and brush, groves of pine saplings and lines of vino covored ruius, holdiug tenaciously to his faith. Ilis fellow citizens, tho snakes, were grateful to him for providing them such congenial aud secluded homes and refused to bito at his bare feet. Tho attention of tho authorities was attracted to his case and he was taken up one da; and carried away to tho poor house. As tho wagon climbed a long rod hill overlooking the towu at sunset that day and the Last Inhabitant lookod back at tho desolation and silcnco, where, in days gone, his eyo had seen the light of tho descending orb flashed back from thousands of windows, and his ear had caught the whistles and humming an 1 ringing of factories and all the soundB of happy and busy life?as ho fooked back ho dropped his head iu despair at last, and said, 'The old towu is dead.' 'It has just finished decaying,' said the driver, who was a thinker. 'You and your like killed it ton years ago.'

Maruied Women's IIioiits.?The decision of the Supreme Court filed to night in the case of Aultuian, Taylor & Co. et al. vs. J.N. Rush and Eugeuia J. Rush, will make a great sensation in the State and unsottle many business transactions. It is to the effect that a married woman oannot mortgage her separate estate for the debt of ber husband or any other person. The decision is a very long ono and cannot bo copied to.night, but a harty canning of it enables the liurcau to furnish the following outline ; Tho action was founded nn tirn nnlm given by defendant and his wife for the purchase r.f a steam engino. These notes WSre secured by a mortgage on a tract of ruui n?frtfcin? irtthu, H the wife, which niortgago was executed by the wife, her husband joining therein. Two defences were put up : First, breach of contract ; second, no liability on the part of tho wife on the notes and mortgage, she being a married woman. Tho master of equity, to whom the caso was referred, reported that there was no breach of the contrae. In this report the Circuit Judge (Hudson) concurred. The master also reported tho defendant's wife liable, both by the terms of tho statulo and because tho contract was for the benefit of ber separate estate. The Circuit Judge did not concur in the last branch of this second section of the roport, but eustaincd the master in tho first, holding that the liability of the wifo was fixed by the mortgage, and he ordered a foreclosure. Tho Supremo Court says: 'Tho main question in tho caso is as to tho liability of tho wifo on her mortgage, or rather, the liability of her separato estato for a debt contracted by her husband, to which sho was a party, and to sccuro which she executed the mortgage in question, although the said debt was not contracted for the benefit of her separato estate. This brings up squarely the question whether a married woman can mortgage ber separate estato for a debt not contracted for its benefit * * * Tho boundary of tbc question is the Constitution and the Act of the Legislature upon the subject of the 'rights of married women.' The Court theu proceeds to examine at length tho constitutional provisions contained in Article 14, Section 8, as follows : 'The real and personal property of a married woman held at the time of her marriage, or that which sho may thereafter acquire, cither I f. * * * uy gui, gram, mncriianco, acviao or otncrwisc, shall oot bo subject to levy aud sale for her husband's debts, but shall bo lu-ld ns her separate proporty and may bo bequeathed, devised or alienated by her the same as if she were unmarried.' The provisions of hw touching upon the question arc also exhaustively discussed and the | Court decides that the married woman has not the right to mortgage her separate estate for a debt not contracted for its benefit. Thejudgmont of tho Supreme Court is that the judgment of the Circuit Court i be revised and that the ease be remanded , with leave to plaintiff to apply behw for . judgment against tho defendunt; J. N. r? * i iiuin iui iiiu amount auo on the note. ^ Chief Justice Simpson delivered the opin| ion. Justice Mclvcr Glcs n, dissenting r opinion. The practico of having a wife's separate ^ estate mortgaged to secure her husband's r debts has been very prevalent in f South Carolina and this decision will upf set it abruptly. Good Advice, Gratis.?Is it bettor to put tbc best foot foremost, as far as poverty is conceroed, dress, go out and give parties, play tho fine lady or geotiemau, cash or no casb ; or is it bettor to own right up to the siu of poverty, and trust luck for being woll treated ? Let's see ; If over wo did roason a matter, we would this, uow; but being only one of tbo 'weaker vessels,' and a poor specimen at that; wo never did sit down, wun our long lace on, and reason like a man?it isn't in us. We only 'jump at conclusions,' and jump into hot wator sometimes; but we can boast of having had a rich experience, nud if anybody who is, unfortunately, poor and proud, would liko to hear about our experience, hero it is : Tho time was when wo had plenty of everything, from cidor to souce ; (and tho time it, whon we are not over-supplied with either the extremes, or the bctweens, in the matter of 'faring sumptuously.') How we happened to be so nicely housed and petted, was, even then, to us a mystery ; for we knew wo didn't descrvo it; but we found out since that thero aro some two or three others in the wide wide world, who havo had the good luck to fare better than their deserts; and in this we have great consolation. 'Misery loves company, you know, ?but about that experience. May-be wo diden't sport as tall a feather as any of our neighbors ? What little sense we had, passod at a hundred per ct. over real value; and wo felt ourself a privileged character, to sav and do whatever we nleasod for we had always the same good genius at our elbow, whose name was cash,?who wa8 very agreeable to everybody, and wo never was quite sure who had the most admirers, ourselt or cash. Sometimes wc did feel a trifle jealous of him, and thought how delightful it would be to bo loved for our own sake and not as V\s protege. Perhaps ho read what was in our hearts, for he went off ono day and novcr returned. 'Gono, the offieious old fellow !' wo said, without crying; 'and now won't wo have a good time of it ? We shall bo loved for our own intrinsic merit^omo up nearer, ^e,r? Jcar But wat do you think, reader ? 'Where is cash,' said one?'Gono has lie?' said another. 'Good bye,' said the third, a fourth, a fifth, and five hundred. And so they dropped off one after another, like rotten apples from a crab-tree. ?. Aud wc didn't cry then; but moderated our desires and ambition, as much as possible, took down our tall feather ; took to rhymes and moonshine, and sang: We care for nobody; Nobody cares for we.' Well, after all, there are some pleasant things about this poverty ; (like sugar in a cop of wormwood tea.) Nobody asks you to 'trade on account,' nobody asks you to'holp build Meeting Houses' or 'cducato pious young men,' nobody looks pitchforks if you don't give a dollar to the Hottentots, and nobody oheats you, for you've nothing to lose. So. pood neonle. ono nnrl nit fbia i? ntif advico, gratis : Don't bold out falee colors after cash goes off; but just ring a bell all over Christendom in honor of his departuro and cry 'Poverty 1' till the woods ring; for if you don't you will miss of seeing the greatest racing and chasing 'ever you saw;' a herd of tiro-footed buffaloes in full flight.

Plouqujno Ur Gold.?On Sunday morning (wo men drovo up to the resi denoe of William Tufcbs, Sr., who livei near Fort Worth, Toxas, aud told kini thai in 1865 an Indian woman, fbnring thai she would bo plundered by raiders, buriod an iron vessel containing $1,000 in gold under a corner of the house now occupied by Mr. Tubbs.

After these facts had bccouio goncrally known Capt.

As he ploughed on he fouud more gold pieo$a, and theu he called his hired man, Ed. Carpenter, from an adjoining field.

W., t per steamer Mariposa, give tho latest part tioulsrs regarding tho attempted asaassii t nation of Premier Baker, of tho Tonga I Islands, by converted Woeleyao natives. I Tho correspondent of the Sydney Herald I at Sava, Fiji Islands, writes, undor date of i February 17, that Mr. Baker believed that I an organised attempt to kill him and to ) overturn the government wee to bo made t by the Wesleysns. He sent for soldiers, I and a large number of indiscriminate ar r*sta were made. Mr. Baker put the prisoners through a form of trial, condemned them to death and the sentences were executed tho same night. ; Boforc tbo sentonces wero carried out the i acting British Vice Consul, W. E. Giles, used the utmost exertions to prevent the < executions. Things wero growing quieter, i when the newly appointed Vice Consul, R. , B. Leefe, arrived at Tonga, and after an i inquiry decided that he had no power to interfere. Tho storm again burst forth with redoubled fury. The Wcslcyan mist sion collage was invaded by an armed mob. Wceleyans were brutally beaten and their houses wrecked. Mr. Leefe was again api poaled to, but again refused to interfere. Among the earliest persons arrested and i condemned to death was an ordained Wesi Icyan minister, David Finan, a man of tho | i highest position and repute, i Many persons were under arrest, and dia cAiuukiuua ircru iu ibkc piaco me any after the dcparturo of tho steamer which brought tho above news to Suva, aud thirty more tho day following. Tho French and Germans have sent for men-of-war, and urgent representations have been made to the govenor of the Fiji islands to interfere and depose either Mr. Baker or Mr. Moulton, a Wealoyan missionary. ' Practical Temperance Men.?Wo i advooato temperance bccauso we believe ia tho principle that underlies all progress i from a lower to a higher piano ef existence i ?the integrity of tho individual. No one can be ignorant^ tfie does i re'tfioraf cotK^^lon. No| one can bo ignorant of tho degrading influence of intoxicants upon tho physical and moral man. Tho effect of beer and liquor is to produce disease of the nerve centres. If these become impaired they convey false i and wrong impressions to the brain as i well as paralyze the motor or moving agents i of tho body. In short, they tell lies, i The truth is not in tbem. They convey | false intelligence and destroy reason. The i . drunkard beliovcs his devoted wife bis i enemy and beats her to death. Tbo love i he bears his child is turned to hate, and i he turns her naked into the Winter storm. ] Intoxicants gradually undermino the moral integrity nnd leave the victim open to every tomptaticn. Once the barrier is weakened that guards the path of truth and rectitude the man falls an easy prey to vice. The man who lives a temperate, honest life lends his influence to build up a higher degree of civilization, aod to create that centre from which radiates those virtues which lend a charm to ezistenoe, a happy home. These are a few reasons why wo advocate temperance, and no one can look abroad without viewing the crime, degradation, murder, theft, that prevail in the precincts of saloons.'
