In 1849, when the gold fever broke out, canned food came into great de mand on account of its adaptness lor transportation, convenient form and easy transportation. The next few years witnessed a very rapid increase, and the trade showed a healthy de velopment. The range of the pack began to widen and to include fruits, vegeta bles, oysters, fish and meats; the standard of quality also improved. Maryland soon came to the front as the recognized leader and centre rf this growing industry, with Maine, New York and New Jersey following. Now, 1892, the canning industry has grown to immense proportions, num bering about 20,000 factories in opera tion, scattered over the broad domain of forty-one States and territories. These factories give employment in various capacities to 1,000,000 persons during the canning season, while those directly and indirectly concern ed amount to 4,000,000; they use the raw material, fruits, vegetables, etc., produced on 1,500,000 acres of land, thus furnishing a home market for the products of 30,000 farms, giving employment to a vast number of farm laborers, and bringing in to the farm ers $25,000,000 for their produce; they transform this raw material into 600,- 000,000 cans of food that is nutritious, healthful and in such a form as to be easily and safely transplanted to the remotest corners of the earth. it is an interesting sight to watch the progress of a peach from the time it is delivered at a packing house un til it is snugly incased in a can ready for the table. The, peaches are first taken to a culling room, and tue peelers stand waiting their turn to get a box. Two big men at a machine do the culling act, and when a box of culled pecches is ready to be peeled, it is given to a woman or girl, as the case may be, and she hustles off with it to a big room, takes her seat among other women or girls and begins work. While peeling the peaches the women sit close to each other, and merrily flash their knives over the peach until the peel is off. Some times while at work the girls sing and chatter, and, no doubt, think of some good-looking young fellow who does not want them to peel peaches. The cans are in waiting for the peach es, and when the peaches are peeled they are taken to large tables and there a number of girls place them in the cans. Before the peaches are put into the cans a quantity of sugar is first placed in and then follows the peach. The can is then taken to a vessel of hot water and a small quan tity of water is placed in the cans. The can is then capped and processed Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PI/RE Tillmau Can Be Deleated. We have advised early and thor ough organization on the part of those who are opposed to the present Till man administration. We must make the fight in the primaries and con ventions, and if the work is well done there need be no doubt of the defeat of Tillman. On this line the News and Courier says: ‘•There is a great deal of talk about early conventions or conferences for the purpose of nominating a full State ticket in opposition to the Till man autocracy. Suuii conventions or conferences will be of no avail with out thorough preliminary organiza tion. We believe that there is only one way to defeat Governor Tillman, and that way is by organization and by the adoption of a wise and pru dent plan of campaign. He cannot be defeated by an independent move ment acting outside of the party. He can be defeated by a movement acting within the lines and under the Con stitution of the Democratic party. He has done enough during his term of office to crush half a dozen admin istrations, and the time is ripe for re volt against his further domination of the party and degradation of the State. But the campaign against Tillman must be relieved as far as possible of purely personal features, and directed against his official con duct. The true issues for the cam paign against him are his official ut terances and acts, his failure to per form his promises, the revolutionary tendencies of bis administration, his abuse of power, the !ow, vulgar, cun ning craft by which he has sought to deprive the people of their right to rule, his vicious assaults upon the ju diciary, his disregard of the rights of capital, his determination to be the master ot the State when he was put in office as its servant. The fight must be made against Tillman as Governor and not against Tillman as a man; and made upon this line, with the proper spirit, it is bound to win. ••But the campaign ducted with the party can be defeated inside'’ must be con- ‘ )es. Tillman le party, but quired length of time it is taken out and cooled off in cold water. A label is then placed upon the can and the peaches are ready for the market. The tomato packing in Maryland begins about August 1. When a wagon load of tomatoes reaches the packing house it Is weighed. The tomatoes are then placed in a kettle and scald ed, they are next skinned, then placed in the cans; the capping, processing and labeling follow, and the tomatoes are ready for the market. In no part of the country has this industry brighter prospects than in the South. Of all sections which I would lifie to go to for great success the South is the one. The climate is altogether suitable, your labor is cheap, and not a single case of canned should be manufactured in the North and brought to you for consumption. Investments such as I speak of pay handsome profits, besides being of much benefit to the city or county where the factory is located. The capital required for conducting this business is small, the cost of the ma chinery being so moderate that in Maryland many farmers operate their own canning factories in connection with their other duties. The statements as to the percentage of profit in some cases would be in credible if they were not authenti cated by unquestionable testimony and amply substantiated by ascer tained facts. With sufficient capital and proper management, there is probably no other business known combining such large profits and so high a degree of safety. Take the en tire pack, throughout the entire can ning districts of the whole country, of the lust season, so small is the stock of canned goods on hand that the holders can well afford, if they desire, to wait until spring to dispose of them. The demand for consump tion increases disproportionately to the supply. This country is large, fa cilities for distribution are increasing, and the trade for canned goods is growing^ S. M. Bindall. The Alliance Is Undecided. tion of those who are opposed to him and his methods, on principle. To make this organization effective it should be acomplished without delay. It should be made clear at the start that the fight is not to be made against any class or condition of men and not for the purpose of avenging anybody’s wrongs, but only for the purpose of restoring harmony among the people and good government to State. “If Governor Tillman had made a competent officer, if his administra tion had contributed in the slightest degree to the relief of the burdens of the people, if he had given the State “a republican form of government,” if he had kept his pledges and per formed his promises, there would have been no opposition to his re- election. But he has been weighed in the balances and found wanting. He ought to be defeated, and he will be defeated if the opposition to him is thoroughly organized, and the fight against him is based upon a question of public duty, and not upon any issue of personal hostility or private revenge. The people can be trusted tt^ rally to the rescue of the State from the control of untrustworthy men. Accident on the Carolina Midland. A very serious accident occurred on the Midland Road about four miles from Blackville Friday evening. The train was in charge of Conductor Rhodes with Engineer Thompson at the throttle. It was composed of freight cars and a first ami a second-class coach. After passing Ashieigh, the last station before reaching Blackville, while on an embankment about twen ty feet high and running at the usual speed, fifty-four minutes between Blackville and Barnwell, a rail broke, throwing down the embankment the two passenger coaches and one box car. There were aboard about twenty persons in all, nearly all of whom were injured. The cars rolled down the embank ment, making two turns. This hap pened on the part of the road that has not been relaid with steel rails, but still having the iron rails. The engi neer ran into town for help, and sev eral of our citizens, witli Drs. Briggs and Nevils, went out. Fortunately Dr. Stevens, of Blackville, was pass ing at the lime of the accident and rendered assistance. The following are the injured. Jack Cashin, of Augusta, cut on bead and collar bone broken. R. E. Timmons, Charleston, head and shoulder severely cut and bruised. Raymond Crookshanks, Greenville, slightly cut in the head and face; dis figured. Cummings Hay, Barnwell, injured supposed seriousry; cut in head. John Owens, Barnwell, bad cut in the head. William Garvin, Blackville, bad cut in the head and badly bruised. Count Bowling, Barnwell, a lad of nine years, was severely injured about the face and head. Julius Green, colored, leg broken In several places; amputation necessary Lang Dawson, colored Blackville, badly scarred up and bruised about the body.

Stand by the Farmers. Tillman, Talbert, Gaston, Aldrich. i, Jr. The State Farmer’s Alliance now seems to fully realize that the Union Store Company, whose proposition for a combine it conditionally accept ed at Spartanburg last summer, is the greatest monopoly of the age, and it is evidently moving with extreme caution about casting its lot with it. It is safe to predict that the Alliance will not go into it and give so much power into the hands of such a com bine. The special committee appointed to arrange the details of the consolida tion met in conference with Mr. Cof- feen, the agent of the company, in Agricultural Hall, Columbia. There was a long discussion of the details of the scheme and the rights that would be accorded the Alliance should it enter the trust; but the committee adjourned without taking any action, and it is uncertain when it will meet again. It was ascertained from one of the members that the committee made certain propositions to the agent which be is to go and submit to his company for their consideration. It is said that the Alliance wants (he no-credit system of the company eliminated, and does not desire to be held responsible for the proposed dealings of the stores with the com pany. Dr. Timmerman, the chairman of the committee, was asked if the ad journment meant that the Alliance did not intend to enter the trust. He replied that he thought it would ulti mately enter the trust, conditionally, far from blindly; but what they wanted now, before acting further, was fuller explanations as to certain features. From The Edgefield Chronicle. -The race for Congress in our Con gressional District promises to be a lively one. We shall see feathers fly; nay, more, we shall see blood flow, and large strips of bleeding human epidermis will lie about loose ou the earth from Ninety-Six to Lawtonville. Uncle George Tillman will be the crested jayhawk of the mountains, and Superintendent Talbert will be the baldheaded snipe of the vale. Or vice versa. It does not matter. Col. John Gaston, of Aiken, will be the Wild Man from Madagascar, while Col. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, will be the Grand luconhonee of the United Red Men. It will be very exciting and very funny; but the peeling oft of the bloody epidermis will be principally, we imagine, between the crested jay- hawk of the mountains and the bald- headed snipe of the vale. Yes, it will be very funny; and the devil help the hindmost. Within the past week we have had a chat with Col. Gaston, and it is tolerably certain that he will run. And why should he not? He is a good man, a gcod alliauceman and a good citizen. As regards Col. Aldrich, we only know that universal report says he will be a candidate. Can You Eat Heartily, with relish, and without distress afterwards? If not, we rec ommend to you Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which creates a good appetite and so invigorates the stomach and bowels that the food is properly digested and all its nutriments assimilated. Hood’s Pills are purely vegetable perfectly harmless, effective, but do not cause pain or gripe. Be sure to get Hood’s. In the Charities Review for Fj bru- ary, Miss Isabel Hampton, General Wade Hampton’s daughter, has an uncommonly well written and inter esting article upon District Nursing. For the restoration of faded hair to its original color and freshness, Ayer’s Hair Vigro remains unrivaled. This is the most popular and valuable toilet preparation in tne world; all who use it are perfectly satisfied that it is the best. From The Augusta Chronicle. Many of the farmers are in a dis tressing condition. The percentage of their cotton yield has been poor, prices have been ruinous, and as a consequence many of them have been unable to balance their accounts. Too strong a disposition on the part of the factors and merchants to be rigid and exacting with the farmers would prove disastrous and distress ing. It is true that their embarrass ment is due in many cases to their own mismanagement, but over and above this there have been conditions which it was beyond their power to modify, They have moreover learned some valuable lessons from the expe rience of the past year. Altogether they are entit led to the sympathy and support of those who have their suc cess or failure in their hands. If there ever was a time when the fac tors and merchants should stand by the farmers, it is now, when, without money or supplies, they are not able to stand by themselves. Rheumatism Cured.
