/ ? Mr. Randall has introduced his tariff
bill into the House. It puts the main cut
upon the internal revenue system, abolishing
the tax on tobacco and fruit brandies,
and reducing the whisky tax. Mr. Randall's
bill takes about twenty millions
from the tariff schedule and sixty millions
from the excise system.
? Judge Gresham, of Indiana, seems to
be looming up as the Republican nominee
for the presidency. One argument in his
favor is that he is popular in his own
State, and the Republicans can hardly
win without carrying Indiana, while they
count confidently on carrying Ohio with or
without Sherman, or any other man as
the nominee.
? The Prohibitionists originally appointed
the day for their National Convention
at Chicago that the Democrats
afterwards selected, but as they find

they have concluded to change the

? The Philadelphia Ledger is responsible
for the following statement: "Georgia negroes
are flocking to the Ocala Swamp and
daubing themselves with its mud, in the
hope that it will turn them white. This
movement had its origin in the fact that
a negro who had wounded his leg and
bandaged it with the mud of the swamp,
found, when his leg healed, that it had
turned almost white."
?Henry Bergh, the founder of the societies
for the prevention of cruelty to animals,
died in New York on Monday. His
success has been steady and progressive.
Thirty-six States of the Union have such
organizations. Mr. Bergh accepted no
salary for his work, but aevoted the best
energies of his life in ameliorating the
condition of dumb brutes who were unable
to defend themselves.
?A private detective returned to Birmingham
from North Alabama last Thursday,
having in charge Joe Winter, a white
man, wanted in Carroll county, Georgia,
for murder. Winter brutally murdered a
man in that county flfteeh years ago, and
has never been tried for the crime. The
detective located the man nearSand mountain,
where he was running an illicit still.
He surrendered without resistance and
will be taken back to the scene of his crime.
?Turleton Steele, colored, was to have
been hanged at Montgomery, Ala., last
Friday. Preparations were made for'the
/ execution, but just before the hour the
governor commuted his sentence to imprisonment
for life. He killed a negro
woman a year ago and burned her body.
There were no witnesses to the deed, and
he claimed the killing was accidental from
a blow with a stick, and that the body was
burnt from fear and to prevent detection.
Petitions for commutation were signed by
a great many persons, including many of
the jurors.
? Col. John R. Winston, a prominent
North Carolinian, died in Caswell county
on Wednesday last of consumption. Col.
Winston was a Confederate soldier, noted
fnr flarinc and hr&verv. He was a prison
er on Johnson's Island, and in midwinter
he made his escape by scaling the prison
walls, and then, though barefooted and
thinly clad, he walked miles on the ice,
and finally reached Canada i n safety. Col.
Winston was a very prominent Granger,
and was also a leader in the Greenback
party, which, at one time, had a strong following
in North Carolina.
?- At Greensboro, Ga., last Thursday,
Judge Jenkins passed sentence of death
upon George McDuffie, a colored preacher
who shot and killed William Chaney, colored,
last fall. William Chaney went to
a neighboring church with a colored woman
whom McDuffie, although a married
man, fancied himself. After services
were over Chaney started for home, little
thinking of the doom before him. When
near McDuffle's home, he was shot through
his left side, and died shortly after he was
conveyed home. The hanging will take
place on the 11th day of May next.
? The announcement that the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company have determined
to carry the general offices of
that company back from Richmond to
Washington, meets with a great deal of
opposition among Richmond business meii.
The commercial bodies of Richmond are
talking of organizing a movement to throw
much of the Southern business, now given
to the Richmond and Danville Road, to
the Atlantic Coast Line. It is estimated
that at least one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars' worth of traffic can annually
be diverted from the offending company's
lines. It is understood that the Richmowl
and Danville propose to commence the
work of moving their offices back to Washington
on the 17th.
? A professor of civil engineering writes
to the Indianapolis Journal to say that
hundreds of railway and other bridges in
the country are unsafe because of ignorance
and dishonesty. He calls them deathtraps,
and says: "One would suppose
that the safety of a highway bridge
would be of great interest and importance
to the public, but appearances point the
other way. As long as a bridge stands it
is considered to be safe, and in nine cases
out of ten the community will call the
man a fool who has the courage to say
their bridge is not safe. Thdy will point
to the structure, as much as to say: 'It
has stood so many years, aDy it will probably
stand as many more.' Owing to their
ignorance they do not know how a good
~ " .... * l 1 J
bridge should nenaye unaer a iu?u, #uu,
rather than believe a man of experience
who says the bridge is unsafe, they prefer
to imperil their lives every time they
cross the structure."
? Judge R. N. Baskin, of Salt Lake
C'ity, predicts that polygamy will be a
thing of the past in Utah before the expiration
of ten years. In describing the effect
of the Edmunds law, Judge Baskin
says: "Capital is pouring in from every
direction. New mines are beiDg opened
up altpost weekly. Money is plentiful
and our future is bright beyond our expectations.
If the present tide of immigration
continues, we?the Gentiles, as
all who are opposed to Mormonism are
called?will within years control the
politics of Salt Lake. When this, their
great stronghold, passes from their hands,
their power will rapidly crumble away.
Apostacy to the faith, which the church
can then no longer punish, will set in (we
see evidences of it already, in fact) and
from that time the extinction of Mormonism
will follow as surely as the night fol'
lows the day."
/-One of the most distressing circumstances
connected with the blizzard in
/ New York city last week, was the inability
to bury the dead. It is estimated
that 800 bodies were at one time lying in
the hands of undertakers in the city who
were entirely unable to convey them to
interments. It is impossible to estimate
the loss of life during the storm. Scores
of casualties are reported, and many persons
missing are still unaccounted for.
Almost hourly reports are coming in from
the State and immediate surrounding
country of fatalities resulting from the
storm. It is feared that over two hundred
lives have been lost in Essex county, N. J. ;
Destructive to property as the blizzard j
was, it seems to have been of comparatively
local character, extending south no
farther than Alexandria, Va., west no
farther than Pittsburg and Buffalo, north
no farther than Saratoga, and east no
farther than Boston.
? At 9.40 o'clock last Saturday morning,
the first section of the south-bound West
India fast mail crashed through the trestling
just after crossing Hurricane river,
seventy-five miles south of Savannah, on
the Savannah, Florida and "Western Railway.
So far as learned, seventeen per- i
sons were killed and thirty-six injured.
Of the killed nine were white and eight
were colored. Of the wounded ten are j
ladies, twenty white male passengers and '
six are children. The spot is one mile east
of Blackshear, Pierce county. The roa^I ,
there crosses Hurricane river, and beyond
it is a long stretch of trestle work. The
train left Savannah at 7.01, standard time,
Saturday morning. It was composed of
an engine, a combination baggage and
smoking car, one passenger coach, two j
Pullman sleeping cars and a private car j
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The en
gine passed over safely, but the rest of the
train broke through and fell fifteen feet to
the ground below. Before reaching the
bridge the trains always slow up, and it is
supposed that the speed at which ihe train
was running was too high. The combination
coach is reported to be the first one
which struck the ground. On it fell the
passenger coach, the sleepers and the special
car, in which a private party was
traveling. Six of the persons who were
wounded at the wreck have since died.

~7 THE BLAIR BILL.
The Washington Star of Monday, speaking
of the prospects of the passage of the
Blair educational bill, says:
"The chances are that the Blair educational
bill will not get consideration in the
House at all this session. It is generally
understood that the President would veto
the bill if passed, and it is partly policy
with the Democrats to relieve him from
the necessity. The popularity of the
measure in the South might secure its passage
if a vote were reached in the House,
and for that reason it will probably be
killed in committee. As yet the bill has
not been acted upon by even the sub-committee,
and when they have finished with
it, it will still remain for the whol$ committee
to act. The sub-committee were to
have met on Saturday to take up the bill.
Two members only appeared and the indications
are that there will not be a quorum
present at any time during the session.
Or if at all not until it is too late to hope
for action.
PROHIBITION ELECTIONS!
It now appears that the "quiet election"
in Abbeville county on the question of
prohibition in that county, was so quietly
conducted that the question was not
settled. The anti-prohibition people have
been looking up the law and they find that
the Act giving the people the right to vote
on the question requires that a majority
of the qualified electors shall be necessary
to carry the election either way, and at
the election only 1,400 votes were cast, of
which 1,100 were for prohibition, and there
are 3,500 voters in the county. On this
ground it is reported a contest will be
made. On Tuesday of last week a prohibition
election was held in Greenville
county. The city of Greenville gave an
overwhelming majority against prohibition
; otherwise, it would have carried, as
the vote throughout the county was generally
against license. The vote of the city
was 1,017 for license and 1G1 for prohibibition;
but taking the vote of the county
' - ? ?i? on rnu?
tne majority ior license is uuiy ou. .mc
prohibitionists have given notice of protest,
among the reasons being alleged irregularities
and disregard of the election
law by the managers of precinct No. 1 in
Greenville city.
THE LAST GREAT STORM.
Although the weather here on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday of last week was
cold and unusually severe, it was difficult
to realize the extent of the storm that
was raging only a few hours' travel north
of us. Sunday here was rainy in the forenoon
and Monday and Tuesday were
cloudy, with no indications of snow ; but
as far south as Washington and extending
north through New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
New York and the New England States,
the most severe snow storm prevailed on
the three days named that has been recorded
in fifty years. The average actual
fall of snow in New York, as reported by
the Ellenville Press, published in the interior
of the State, was three feet, but in
many places it drifted to the height of
fifty feet, and banks of snow six and eight
feet deep were common, in some places
extending hundreds of yards. It was a
genuine blizzard, coming almost without
warning, and continuing for nearly three
days, wrought immense ruin in the destruction
of life, suffering, damage to
property and inconvenience to business
traffic. Trains caught on the tracks were
snow t)ound, telegraph wires were prostrated
and for several days all intercourse
with the most important commercial section
of the Union was suspended. Telegraph
and railroad communication is
again established, but it will be some
time yet before things will be restored to
the condition existing previous to the
storm, i
STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
The following: letter has been sent out to
members of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, by Wilie Jones, of Columbia,
secretary:
"Dear Sir: I am directed by the chairman
of the Executive Committee, Gen. J.
\V. Moore, to call a meeting of the Committee
for Tuesday, April 3rd, 18SS, at 8
P. M., at the Carolina National Bank in
this city, for the transaction of important
business. Yours truly,
"Wilie Jones, Secretary."
The question of formulating a plan for
holding a primary election for the nomination
of State officers will probably
come up at this meeting. The general
feeling of the Democratic voters, should
their preference be consulted, is decidely
in favor of the primary plan, which is also
advocated by the larger portion of the
State press that has spoken on the subject.
The question of time and place of holding
the May convention will also be determined
at this meeting. Several towns
will probably present their claims for the
distinction; butas has been expressed heretofore
in these columns, we can see no reason
for departing from the time-honored
plan of holding the convention at the capital,
which is more accessible by all parts
of the State than any other town or city
affording the facilities and accomodations
for such a meeting.
A Word of Warning.?A Richmond
dispatch of Saturday says: The Hon.
Thomas Reynolds, of Peoria, Illinois, of
the International Sunday-school committee
to-day, in addressing the Baptist
Theological Seminary, colored, on the subject
of the future of the colored people of
the South, said:
"In all my travels throughout the South
I have been painfully impressed at the
great separation of the races in all religious
matters. You no longer go to the white
churches, and you very seldom hear a
white preacher. You have set up for
yourselves, and the whites are giving
themselves apparently no concern about
the perils which threaten you. Since I
have been here I have asked some of my
white brethren about it. They acknowledge
the gravity of the situation and say,
'We are sorry, but can't help it. The
color line is drawn, and the colored people
in some places are drifting into barbarism,
but they will go their own way, and
we can't help it.' For God's sake I beg
you, colored brethren, tosave your people."
In introducing Mr. Reynofds, Mr. B. P.
Jacobs, of Chicago, said: "He is known
all over Illinois as a black Republican,
Abraham Lincoln Abolitionist, and he
talks as he does here because he has studied
the situation and sees danger ahead."

LETTER FROM GROVER.
Grover, N. C., March 17.?This evening
after a week of nice weather the elements
seem to threaten us with a young
hurricane; but at this writing, o o'clock,
tnicf haa rnllprl nwnv and the skv is
clear and blue again. The farmers have
made good use of the fine weather this
week, in preparing their land for the future
crop, and flatter themselves that they
have made greater progress this season in
the line of farming than for several years
past. There will be more corn and cotton
planted in this vicinity this season than
common, especially the former, with less
guano and more compost of home make.
Wheat and oats are looking well.
The heavy frost this week did some
damage to the peach crop, but if there is
no further damage there will be a fair
yield yet.
Messrs. Gaston & Dover will complete
their contract on the line of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad this
week.
Mr. J. F. Williams, our genial postmaster,
has about completed his new store
room opposite the depot. Mr. M. M. Tate
will soon have his new and handsome residence
completed on King's creek.
The citizens of this surrounding country
assembled at Pine Grove school house today
at the hour appointed, and on motion
of Mr. E. Hardin, Frank Johnson was
elected chairman and C. C. Hughes, secretary.
After stating the object of the
meeting by the chairman, the house proceeded
to vote, which resulted in the
choice of Mr. B. J. Gold, for Representative
and Mr. W. T. Hartness for County
Commissioner. The Convention then by
a large vote heartily indorsed the course
and acts of Hon. John G. Black in the
last Legislature. The convention then adjourned,
after which a Farmers' club was
organized by electing Mr. M. M. Tate,
president; Mr. E. Hardin, vice-president,
and Mr. J. R. Dickson, secretary. The
club will meet at this place two weeks
from to-day and will be addressed by an
able speaker. Index.

for a New York daily, who was
found nearly frozen to death after making
his way on foot through snow to Coney

Judge Taney, of Kentucky, has
rendered a decision which declares the
State Act authorizing the hiring out of
convict labor unconstitutional. Martin
J. Clark, one of the fraudulent judges of
the last Baltimore municipal election,
was sentenced on Saturday last to two
years in jail. The entire main line of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad,
involving 3,200 miles of track, was
tied up Saturday by the strike of all the
engineers on that line. About 500 men
have stopped work, throwing probably
10,000 people out of employment. A
party of about 100 colored people from different
sections of North Carolina, left
Charlotte yesterday for California. The
decision of the United States supreme
court in the telephone cases was announced
by Judge Blatchford last Monday,
and is in favor of the Bell Telephone Company

Shall There Be One or Two State
Conventions ??We had something to say
last week on this subject. We think the
question should be agitated. There is a
disposition in some sections, or among
some of the newspapers of the State, to
hold but one convention and to let that
convention elect delegates to the National
Democratic Convention and also nominate
State officers. To this we are opposed.
But the matter is in the hands
of the people, the democracy of the State.
If the people are willing to let a few
politicians continue to manipulate State
conventions and dictate who the State
! officers shall be and how they shall be
nominated, they have no one to blame
but themselves.
If but one convention is held, and that
in May (for it must necessarily meet not
later than May, as the National Convention
meets on the oth of June), there will
i be no time to discuss a certain question
' that ought to be discussed?that of the adj
visability of nominating State officers by
' primary election. In order to do this it
will be necessary to change the present
constitution of the Democratic party, as
under it, as it now stands, State officers
must be nominated byaState Convention.
It will require time to discuss this ques
tion. Delegates who attend State Conventions
pay their own expenses to and
from such meetings, and while there
tflence> as a general thing, they are nol
disposed to remain any longer than possl<
tfle, and they hurry through business
\ dthout giving it that deliberation its imt
ortance demands. The bosses generally
rave things cut and dried?the 9late is
made beforehand?and rather than lose
time and incur expense, the average delegate
yields, and if he can't get what he
wants, which is, sometimes, just what he
don't want, he takes what he can get. Lei
the people send men to represent then;
who will "make haste slowly," and whc
cannot be manipulated?who have minds
of their own, with intelligence to guide
them, and who will act accordingly.
As to where the convention, or conventions,
should be held, we favor Columbia
as the most accessible. True, the inevita
ble King will be found there; but all com
Eosing the Ring do not live at the Capital
ut they will be there all the same, and
would be found in the eon vention let it meei
where it may. Columbia has its share o
these gentlemen, but not all of them
They are scattered all over the State?a fev
of them. The non-residents, however
are, most of them, subordinates. The
bigger Bosses reside in the "City on the
Congaree." But the people should sent
delegates who cannot be influenced- bj
wire-pullers, either in or out of Columbia
And we believe Laurens county, as it has
done formerly,'will send such delegates
And we hope a majority of the othei
counties will do likewise.?Laurensvilh

intended victim. The shooting is said tc
have been done by some "moonshiner"
who had a grudge at the officer. The Ben
Cross murder was committed only a short
distance from Odam's house, and people
in the neighborhood think it is the same
party or parties who committed both
crimes, and every effort will be made to
have them brought to justice.
Forfeited Lands.?According to the
report of the secretary of state for 1887,
there was only one foreiture of land in
Fairfield county, and this should not appear,
having been an erroneous assessment.
There was one in Lexington, but none in
Abbeville, Anderson, Chester, Laurens,
Marlboro, Union and York. In Charleston,
Hampton, Beaufort, Richland, Berkely
and Colleton, the forfeitures in each are
over five hundred. The dues for taxes,
penalties, etc., on forfeited lands in the
State are estimated at ?396,099, and their
value is placed at $2,918,910.

BIBLE SOCIETY MEETING.
i Rev. Thos. H. Law, district superintendent
' of the American Biblo Society, visited York*
villo last week in the interest of the Bible
1 cause. After consultation with tho pastors of
the various churches, a uaion meeting was arj
ranged for last Sunday night in tho Presbyte'
rian church. Quito a large audience was pres1
ent, and Rev. Mr. Law delivered a very clear
and interesting address, setting forth tho nat|
uro of tho work done by the American Biblo
Society in foreign lands and also in the United
States.
At the close of the address steps were taken
to organize an auxiliary Bible society. Eighty-six
names were enrolled and the society
will be known as the "York County Bible Society."
Rev. J. C. Galloway was elected president
and tho other pastors in tho town vicepresidents.
F. A. Gilbert was elected secretary
and John J. Hunter depositary and treasurer.
Tho executive committee consists of the
! following gentlemen: Jno. C. Kuykendal, W.
T. Barron, T. S. Jeffreys, Jno. G. Ferguson
and James A. Watson. The money and books
in charge of the former Biblo committee were
turned over to tho new society. All the money i
on hand will be invested in Bibles and a good
stock kept henceforth in the depository.
It is the intention to organize branch societies
in various sections of the county?Rock Hill,
Clover, Black's, McConnellsyille and other
points if the way be open.
We would call the attention of our people to
the fact that the depository of Bibles is in the
store of Messrs. Hunter A Oates, and also to the
exceedingly Jow price at which the Bibles are
sold. Good editions of the Testament are sold
at 5 and 8 cents per copy, and the entire Bible
for 25 cents. Any kind of Bible can be obtained
at or through the depository, from 25 cents
to ?27. All Bibles are sold at cost.
The third Sunday of March was chosen by
the executive committee as the day of annual
meeting.
RAILROAD NOtES.
Regular trains are expected to be run to Lancaster
this week?at least not later than the
first of next month.
Eighteen fiat cars loaded with rails were
hauled to Camden from Charleston on Sunday
of last week. There is no lack of iron, but it
is not probable that trains will cross Catawba
river at an early day. We understand, however,
that the policy will be to lay the rails to
the river as rapidly as practicable.
Capt. Lewis is now engaged in building the
bridge at Rock Hill. This is a small piece of
work and probably will be finished this week.
We learn that one day last week a party of officials
of the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad
visited the trestles across King's creek
and Manning branch, and after inspecting
them, pronounced them the finest structures of
the kind they had ever seen. This is quite a
compliment to Capt. Lewis.
On the Augusta Division, the engineering
corps is now between Hamburg and Edgefield.
We were very much interested the other day
by a visit to Smith <fc Lathrop's work, which
begins about five miles west of town and extends
for six miles. Considering the nature of
the material they have to handle they are
making very satisfactory progress. About
four miles of their work is practically finished,
they making it a point to "finish as they go,"
and when necessary they corduroy or otherwise
protect the work until it is turned over to
the track-master. The heaviest part of their
work is the last two miles, beginning near the
residence of the Misses Gilfillen and extending
in this direction. On the lands of Misses Gilfillen
they have established their camp, where
they are comfortably and cozily situated with
tents and all necessary buildings for convenience.
Comfortable stables for their stock, a
blacksmith shop, a warehouse for the storing
of tools, a powder magazine and the tents for

they aro located the appearance of a prosperous
settlement, as it certainly is a busy one. In
the magazine there are usually stored from
three to five thousand pounds of explosives,
the old-fashioned black powder having given
way to improved appliances, such as nitroglycerine,
dynamite and a still later and improved
article known as Rackarock, which
comes in the form of harmless cartridges until
they are saturated in a liquid prepared for the
purpose, when their explosive properties are
perfected. Smith &Lathrop give this explosive
the preference over all others they have used.
The explosion is made by means of an electric
battery, and the battery used by them is of sufficient
capacity to discharge forty holes simultaneously.
We witnessed an explosion of six
holes, which broke up about 75 cubic yards of
material.
The cut on which Smith <fe Lathrop are now
working is nearly a mile in length and of an
average depth of about thirty feet. But they
are thoroughly practical men, with a competent
force, and although they are contending with
a mass of apparently solid rock, there need
bo no apprehension that they will not be ready
for the track-layers when they arrive.
APPLICANTS FOR PENSIONS.
The following is a complete list of applicants
to date in York county for pensions, under the
act of the last General Assembly providing
pensions for certain soldiers and widows of
soldiers who served in the Confederate army
under enlistment from South Carolina. There
are 33 soldiers and 50 widows, as follows:

: A Circular to South Carolina Farmers.?Copies
of the circular given below
have been sent out by D. K. Norris, President
of the South Carolina Alliance, better
known as the Tillman organization:
The farmers of the State, through their
association, asked the Legislature to establish
a separate agricultural college in
behalf of the languishing agriculture of
the State and for the control of their money
in the custody of the State, viz.: The
inspection fee on guanos and the two donations
from Congress, amounting to upwards
of $50,000 annually. Both of these
demands were denied us.
Is Dublic oninion. as voiced by the far
mers of your neighborhood, satisfied with
the action of the Legislature on these
questions?
Is it the sentiment of your community
of farmers to acquiesce in the action of the
Legislature, whereby the South Carolina^
University was enlarged and the separate
agricultural college denied us?
In your judgment, as made up from sucl
an expression of general opinion as yo^
have been able to gather, can your county
be carried foraseperatecollege if the question
is submitted to the farmers in the
approaching canvass? /
Please give the names and postoffices,/if
one or two farmers who are actively /interested
in the aims and objects of (the
Farmers' Association in your vicinity.
Please answer and return as soonl as
convenient. \

Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for
seven years she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She
bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Medical
Discovery for Consumption, and was so
much relieved on taking the first dose that she
slept all night,and with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther
