We an peaching tlie ears of the people of tin West in a very unexpected manner, and the presentation of our industrial ,C >ndition made by Senator Thurman will induce many capitalists and im- m'grant* to look this way and exam ine our advantages. But is it not n little singular that the main issue in Ohio is not the condition of that State, but of the Southern States. Doesn’t it show something of our superiority pyer that section? Our public speak ers find enough to talk about in dis cussing South Carolina, and it seems’ that they leave enough unsaid to fur- nisii texts for the Ohio inditicians. It they arc more interested in ns and our ullwirs than in their own, it isnli right. If they can stand it we can. A SUltl'RISIXO STATK1IEXT, 1XDEEP. I was very much surprised this morning by a statement, said to have been made hy one of the largest man ufacturers of commercial fertilizers in Houth Carolij/u that the Englsh fertilizer companies can buy 8out Carolina pl^splufte rock, take Jt to England, and inanufacMire_U into acid pliospiiates, ship it hack to New Orleans and sell cheaper through the Soutliwestern Htates and as far northward as Atlanta, than either the Georgia or Carolina conjpapies. It is 'laid that the cost of phosphate lock to the English companies is about $10 per ton laid down ar their factories, that they have someway of manu facturing their sulphuric acid cheaper than oiu’ home companies, and that their profit is in the sale of the sulphuric acid. It is of course well known tjpit a ton of acid phosphate contains about 1,200 pounds of rock and K00 pounds of sulphuric acid. Our companies : w.>ort their sulphur and have their acid phamhers at the works. If this state ment is correct it seems stranger that our companies do not change their base of operations to England. 8onie of them own the land deposits where tl;e fttek occurs, and as the estimated ,CQst of mining a. fan of rock is only about $4 per ton, and the rocjf pells from $o to $0 per ton they would cer tainly have a decided advantage ip tlie cost of this part of the material. ‘If our companies can’t compete with those that are compelled to buj' our rock, transport it across the Atlantic '£tydih'ipgjt back again, they should remove their works at ogee, ornxixu ok tiik south Carolina collko K. The South Carolina College opened yesterday with tlie largest attendance It has had at any previous session. About 105 students were present, as against 140 last year and 149 tlie year before. PKOSECUTIXQ CULBltLATH’S LYXCH- • KBS. governor Thompson has directed f,he Attorney-General to assist Solici tor Jlonhuin in tiie prosecution of tlie parties engaged in tlie lynching of C'ulbreath. Economy. Sumter Watchman. The County Commissioners of Aiken and tlie two papers there, are 'engaged in a little dispute in which our sympathies are entirely with the newspapers. Tlie officials are trying fo beat dot'll the price the papers are charging for tlieir advertising, and 'failing in that, have refused to adver tise through their columns, and instead, post tlieir public notices on pine trees and at cross roads. Those gentlemen seem to be very ig norant of tlie law, or extremely reck less in tlieir violation. Tlie law re- quirrs the County Commissioners to advertise in a newspaper published in the County, and allows tlie paper to 'pharge its transient rates for such work, provided those rates do not ex ceed one dollar a square for one inser tion. T* lt? Aiken papers have agreed Among themselves to divide this rate, both publishing all official advertising and thus to give the County the bene fit of double advertising for one price; and still these economical gentlemen who compose the Board are not satis- liejj hut insist upon a lower price, and the papers refusing to give one they have resorted to pine trees and Other prominent objects for tlieir ad vertising. Very possible these gentlp^pfl are trying to do theif duty, but they are evidently densely ignorant, or stupid- 13’ prejudiced. We suppose they have pot attempted the reduction of legal Tees in nnyother quarter than among pie newspapers. No doubt tlieir salary remains untouched,their Clerk is paid all the law allows,tlieir stationary hills are paid in full, but when it comes to_ newspapers—ah! there is the place to practice economy. The editor has to lillSjp witii something and why ■ Ml lllltlliy illH'Prtisiug” TTs pg reading and the people fad to see it. That is their the question, forgetting or Ujg |Pteres will be side of never knowing that the advertising patronage of a paper is its main sup port. 4 Newspapers do a great deal of char ity work—none do more unless it be preachers and doctors—and they are willing to do it, but when it conies to County officials refusing to pay p hut tlie State says shall be paid, it is high time to protest. We are inclined to think that the presiding Judge, at thp next term of tlie Aiken Court, will make those County Commissioners feel smaller than they have since tlie last applica tion nf the maternal slipper, in child hood’s happy hour. The blood of Benedict. Gen. E. W. Moise, of Sumter, aud Mr. Leroy F. Youmans, of Colijmbia^ have been retained by a Jewish siocip; ty in North Carolina to aid in the prosecution of J. C. Ferguson, at Ab beville, for the.killingof Artliur Ben- diet. Mr. W. C. McGowen and Capt. Bonham, of Abbeville, are still re tained in tlie case, 'rohibition and Senator Moore. 1 To the Editor of the Xciv* and Con-1 •ier: The Aiken Journal and Review, J in a recent issue, lays at the door of tlie j Tohihilionists tlie blood of Senator j sloore, drawn in tlie recent rencontre between that Senator and Major Mur- ay, on tlie public square in Anderson Courthouse, This charge bears upon its face to ail ingenuous minds its own disingen- uoushess,insincerity and want of foun- lation in fact. The responsibility of every murder perpetrated in South Carolina by drunken rowdies may, with as much consistency, he laid at the door of the Democratic party as the blood of this man can be laid to the charge of the Prohibitionists. Such a manifestly absurd charge would not be considered, either by the Journal and Review, of anybody else, as of sufficient foundation or seriousness even to require refutation. Yet this journal has made a similar and as manifestly absurd a charge against the Prohibitionists. Tins man’s blood is upon his own head,and upon that of Editor Murray's The disgraceful affair was brought about hy mutual crimination and re crimination in a dispute about the time required to pass a bill through the Legislature. I read this unfound ed accusation li surprise, indigna tion aud disgust, tlie more especially whep jt (jfttiiij from a paper with the reputation standing of the Jour nal and Rcviem. Tlie Prohibitionists had a right to expect better treatment at theliands of this journal than this uncalled for and unkind imputation. Lot the Journal and Review acknowledge its error (for it may have been published thought lessly and inadvertently, without airy itesire to injure the temperance cause,) and apologize for its conduct; or let it rejtcrate its imputaton, thereby ap prising the public (and tlie Prohibi tionists constitute a goodly portion thereof) of its animus to this cause. a <_T'[T Zj-:x W. J. POLLARD, Augusta, Oa. J. L. ROBERTSON, Aiken County. The Liquor Traffic Must Go. Church Record. Some of our secular contemporaries seem to have the “horrors” for fear tlie churches may go into politics. But there is not the least danger of this. The churches, as such, have no idea of entering tlie arena of party politics. But there are several thous and Christum voters in South Caro lina, belonging to the various church es, who feel that the time lias fully come for the enlightened conscience Ip bp gs fully felt in politics as tlie party lash. They can neither be ca joled nor intimidated. They demand that the State shall no longer sanction the liquor traffic, and that those who prefer a secular education shall pay for it. They also think it about time that tlie very small but very respecta ble class of her citizens who have car ried tlie government of Soutli Caro lina in tlieir champagne baskets for a century or more should now be invited to a back seat. If this is treason, our esteemed contemporaries and the politicians they represent will have to make the most of it. Senator Blair’s Educational Bill. |Ncws and Courier. Mr. Blair, who has arrived here, says that he will reintroduce the edu- eaClnnal bill in the Senate early in the next session, and he thinks thftt Mf* Willis, or some other friend of the bill, will introduce it in the House in time to secure action upon it before the end of the session. He believes that all the Republican members of tlie House and nearly one half of tlie Southern Democrats will support the measure. Senator Blair sa3 - s it was defeated lu the House last session on ly hy preventing consideration, and that it commands the support of about two-thirds of the Senate. Thefqtid white pppulation of South Carolina is 391,105. Of these, 62,0(43 are members of tlie Baptist church; 52,624 ;ire pipnibers of the Methodist church; 7,000 belong fq flip Lutheran church; and 3,500are members of the A. It. Presbyterian church; making a total of 125,787 actual members in these four churches. If to these be added the children and friends of these churches, the numbers will be swelled about threefold, giving an actual membership and following of not less, perhaps, than 350,000 out of the total population of 391,105. The four churches named represent an actual membership of nearly one- third, and a membership aud follow ing of nine-tenths of tlie entire white population of South Carolina.—Church Record. A boy in a California school remark ed that the teacher had red hair. He was whipped to make him retrapt, but lie insisted that lie could not tell a lie; and lie had tlie utmost confidence in liis judgment of color.
