The News and Courier, By way of hint to progressive towns in South Carolina, we note the fact, that some months ago, the little town of Milledgeville, Georgia, liad adopt ed the policy of improving for long distances, at its own expense, the roads leading into it, and had made toll bridges free, and even built bridges over creeks fifteen or twenty miles away to draw trade from the country; and that the policy had worked wholly to the satisfaction of the merchants and other taxpayers who had to support it. Rock Hill has determed to try very much the same plan, as was reported on Thursday, and will macadamize the roads for four miles around the town, while the county commission ers will extend the work six miles farther in every direction. The plan will surely meet the expectations of its promoters. Good “dirt” roads leading far out into prosperous agri cultural sections will help the local business of most of the small towns in the State more than a railroad, and do not cost nearly so much; and a railroad sometimes carries away more trade from a place than it brings. Good roads, moreover, lead to the oc cupation of the farms and homesteads around a town and contribute mate rially to its development and business in that ^ a y- Hill, we are sure, is investing its money wisely in mak ing travel easy and economical in the territory which is tributary to it, and its example will be very generally followed in South Carolina in a few years. The low-country towns should be the first to follow the lead of their up- country neighbor. The cost of grad ing and building the roads in the hill country is considerable. There is lit tle or no grading to be done east or south of Columbia, and it is easier and cheaper to convert a “sandy road” into a turnpike than it is to convert a clay road into one. In parts of Flor ida, the farmers simply spread a few inches of clay on top of the sand with results in th^^w of making a com- pactg Highest of all in Leavening'Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Baking Powde ABSOUUIfEftf PURE Reducing the Cotton Product. C. M. Sanders, in The Southern Cultivator. It seems to be universally conceded by the growers of cotton, that some means must be devised for reducing the output of the crop. Several ways of doing this have been suggested by the advocates of the diflerent plans. The most favored seems to be the lim iting of the area to a specified number of acres per mule, some enthusiasts contending for a limit as low as ten acres to the plow. This plan is ob jectionable for two special reasons. First, should this plan be universal ly and honestly carried out, it would reduce the crop below the point to be desired. The world wants cheap cot ton, and if it cannot be had from the Southern States, it will be had from other countries, and it would be sui cidal for the South to foolishly re lease the grip she now holds upon the crop; for if once lost, it will not be easily regained. There are millions of acres of land in India and in Afri ca well suited to the growth of cotton, and should unusually high price 8 stimulate a largely increased produc tion in those countries for a few suc cessive years, it will then be just as hard for them to change as it now is for us to do it, and they, like us, will only discontinue the cultivation of the staple when driven to it by nnre- munerative prices, Cotton is the greatest money crop grown, and it is just as good in other countries as it is in the United States. Second, it has always been shown in the past that any concerted action to reduce the crop has invariably act ed in the opposite direction. A con cert of action to reduce the crop holds out the inducement of high prices, d every individual planter seizes the opportunity of his life* Sheriffs Must Protect Their Prisoners.

BANNER* 00., 840 Broad Street, MASON & HAM-IN,|i STERLING SPECIAL ATldNTION GIVEN REPAIRING. - Augusta, Ga. ’.ne News and Courier of Friday last contained an exhaustive account of the progress of Tobacco Culture in this State, showing its great impor tance, and the profitableness. The farmers in the country around Florence have become thoroughly aroused on the tobacco subject. The first day’s sales were 40,000 pounds at an average of ten cents a pound, and it is believed that several hundred thousand pounds will be sold at Flor ence this season. Of course it is too early yet to know anything of indi vidual profits. Probably few farmers will do as well as F. M. Rogers, jr., who grew an average of nearly 1,000 pounds to the acre and cleared $9,000 in two years on an average of twenty- five acres, but the results will be look ed for with keen interest as offering another hope of escape from “all cot ton.” The Farmer’s Alliance could do much valuable work in this connec tion. If its organs and lecturers would inform farmers of the practi cal results of such experiments, give them details on diversifying crops and growing such as they are unac quainted with and tell them all about seed, peparing, marketing, etc., it would do vast more for them than by preaching impossible financial and currency theories. The Cotton Crop. The Commercial-Bulletin of New York speaks of the crop estimates as follows: The condition of the cot ton market is much in doubt at the present time. Speculation tends rather to a belief that the injury to the cotton crop has been considerable, and yet not large enough to make a very great difference in the year’s re lation of supply and demand. But perhaps there has never been a more serious conflict of evidence as respects the probable yield of cotton than there is at this time. Private letters from parties of unquestionable integ rity, even in the same counties, differ widely in their judgement of the sit uation. From some there come the most gloomy statements, for example, that the crop is from a third to one- half short of a full yield. But from others, who are at least equally relia- jle, representing the same localities, there comes information that the crop will be as large if not larger than that of last year. It is not altogether strange that these differences should be found at this time and season. It is obvious to all that there must be great differences in the extent of in jury to the fcrop on lands differently located in the same county or the same neighborhood. Under such cir cumstances, there is no possibility of estimating the yield with great cor rectness. Headache is readily cured by P P P; which tones and regulates the diges tion and creates an appetite. aAd the whole matter is just this, only this, and nothing more: The neglect of raising our supplies. Convince the farmers of this, and the battle is won, and the only ones in jured will be those who refuse to be convinced. The cotton crop should not fall below seyen or seven and one half millions, of bales. That would put cotton again to nine cents, which is as high, as is entirely safe for it to go, and I am in favor of keeping on safe grounds, If the South will raise her corn and meat, that will reduce the cotten crop a million or more baJes, and if that won’t do it, the pres ent low prices will, and the man who lives at home on his “hog and homi ny,” will be the one who will survive. The Maybrick Case. The negro John Williams, who killed Mayor Henneman of Spartan burg last week, was carried to Colum bia by the sheriff for safe keeping, as it was feared that in Spartanburg an attempt would be made to lynch him. Upon being informed of the fact Gov. Tillman at once gave peremptory or ders that provision must be made in Spartanburg for the protection of the prisoner, and ordered the sheriff to take him back, and return him to the jail in that town. Governor Tillman, commenting on this incident, said that it might as once for all be under stood that the law must be enforced, and that, sheriffs instead of dodging real and imaginary mobs must defend their prisoners with their lives if nec essary. If they cannot protect a pris oner then the officers of the law have no business arresting him, and the man who is arrested must be safe from molestation by any authority except that of the Court. Malaria from Impure Water, In a letter which is published in the Wilmington Messenger, N. J., Mr. Harry Hammond, of Beech Island, S. C., says: “I have never known a case of fever when the patient was free from suspicion of having taken bad water, and I have known crowds of healthy men made ill of malarial fever by in dulging for one day in pond water, albeit iced. My father had his springs kept in good order in all of his fields and malarial and typhoid fevers were unknown among his slaves. * * * * We have changed all that, and, in the same quarter, they drink what they please, and, year after year, I have known fever to be in every house at one and the same time.” This is season of the year in mala- People In South Car- of Major Hammond’s observations and act on them. Good Confederate Markmanship. td mah' to nil A movement is to be at once set on foot whereby the members of the Ma sonic fraternity will sign a petition for Florence Maybrick’s restoration to the world. Prince Albert Edward is a Mason, and a petition from Masons to the Queen through the crown prince would be presented by him directly to the Queen. Although more than 500,000 loyal subjects and free Americans have besought justice and a fair trial for this unfortunate woman, it is doubtful if the Queen has ever heard ot the Maybrick case. This concerted action of the Masons will, it is thought, carry weight and receive consideration from the Eng lish powers that has never yet been vouchsafed the cause of the lielpless little American who is in the clutches of the English law. Nashville American. The pension list is a lasting, and promises to be an everlasting tribute to the prowess of the Confederate soldier. There were only about 600.000 Confed erate all told, but these have put 520,- 158 Yanks to drawing pensions, be sides the 1,004,658 who were killed during tht war or have died since. There are now living 1,208,707 Union soldiers, and of these 520,158, as stated, are now' drawing pensions, or about one-half. Verily the Confederate sol dier wa* a good marksman. When you need a good, safe laxa tive, ask your druggist for a box of Ayer’s Pill’s and you will find that they giye perfect satisfaction. For indigestion, torpid liver, and sick headache there is nothing superior. Leading physicians recommend them. Professor Gautheir, of Paris, states that cerXain vital processes of the body develop putrefying substances in the tissues, which, if not speedily eliminated, produce disease. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla effects the removal of these substances, and thereby pre serves health. Mrs. Gladstone has contracted to write a series of articles for The In dies’ Home Journal, of Philadelphia, especially intended for American w’o- men.. The series will be called “Hints F'rom a Mother’s Life.” and The refusal of the Farmers’ Alli ance Legisature of Georgia to indorse the subtreasury scheme shows that the worst of that folly is about over. The work the Alliance now has be fore it to make its influence felt is to direct all its. energies to carry out its Democratic platform of “equal rights for all and i pecial privileges to none.” Ulcerated sore leg, with a running sore of several years, standing, which the doctor thought incurable, and amputation was regarded as the only relief, the patient scarcely able to walk before, now runs, apparently well.

Scrofula is more especially than any other a hereditary disease, and for this simple reason: Arising from im pure and insufficient blood, the dis ease locates itself in the lymphaties, w’hich are composed of white tissues; there is a period of foetal life when the whole body consists of white tis sues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dread ful disease. But there is a remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or ac quired. It is Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect on the | motive blood, expels all trace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the quali- and color of health. If you decide to to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not ac cept any substitute. on his way to Marianna, where he was going to put his prisoners in jail, but the party was eyertaken by an armed posse, who took the prisoners after a sharp struggle and hanged the entire party.
