Objects and Aims of the Labor Reform
Associations.
Rev. A. W. Moore, of Laurens, was
invited to attend a meeting at Hodges',
in Abbeville County, but was unable to
meet the engagement, and sent the fol?
lowing letter to the meeting, which ex?
plains so fully and satisfactorily the aims
and objects of the Labor Reform Associ?
ations that we transfer it to our columns,
with the hope that every farmer in An?
derson County will give it a careful peru
" Ptnefields, S. C, July 20,1876.
Gentlemen: I regret that pressing
engagements in Laurens will prevent my
being with you next Saturday at Hodges.
When we can, we will meet with the
citizens of Abbeville and urge upon them
the absolute necessity of thorough organ?
ization in every township of the county.
Such an organization is indispensable to
the industries of the county. No kind of
government will help us much, unless we
can make our industries productive and
profitable. If we can introduce a change
in the results of business all over the
State, this very change will have a deci?
ded effect upon the government.
The fundamental principle of "Labor
Beform" is the union of employers upon:
just and humane principles to control
labor, so that it shall be made more effi?
cient and productive. Our laboring class
generally is the poorest laboring class in
the world. It is generally poorly fed and
poorly clad. It is poor because it is not
productive, and it is not productive be?
cause it is not controlled by superior en?
ergy and skill. In Republican govern?
ments a poor, ignorant, licentious, antag?
onistic laboring class is an exceedingly
dangerous element Our policy should
look, not to the alienation of the negro
from us, but to the winning of him to us. j
In subordination to the Anglo-Saxon,
when this superior race is animated by a i
humane, liberal spirit, the negro will be-1
come to the South not only an important
industrial factor, but a positive element
of political strength. Labor Beform is a
revelation of power, to him; indeed it is
simply the embodied and organized pow?
er of intelligence and capital, asserting
their supremacy, first upon the farm and
then upon the government; asserting
this rightful supremacy in both spheres,
without ignoring or destroying or even
abridging the rights of any class, not
even of the ignorant, debased negro.?
Labor Reform throws around him safe?
guards in the way of protection, which a
class government administered ostensibly
in the direct line of his interest, has ut?
terly failed to extend. Labor Reform
will work a revolution in the industries
of the State, and therefore in the politics
of the State. It will finally effect an
economic, efficient, equitable, as well as
a broad and humane administration of
public affairs. It will effect this peace?
fully and legitimately, without tu?
mult or violence. It may not do this in
one year, yet it certainly will do it and
that speedily, if the business element
of the State will unite upon it, and there?
fore make it successful. All classes will
eventually rejoice in the fruits of its be?
neficent principles.
In onr constitution, which was dictated
in a very liberal spirit, no distinction is
made between the white and the black
laborer, and no distinction ought to be
made in the organic law of system. The
white laborer has no reason to fear the I
negro as a competitor, when honesty, effi- j
ciency and reliability are made incuspen
sable elements in the selection and re?
muneration of labor. The great difficulty
with which the more energetic and trust- ;
worthy of the negro race have to contend
is that they have been judged and re?
munerated more by the standard which
the great mass of negro laborers has 1
created than by their individual charac?
ters or exertion. The great enemy of
energetic white labor in South Carolina
has been cheap, unreliable negro labor.!
The tendency nas been not only to class
all labor alike, but to pay it according to I
their classification. We were specially J
impressed with these difficulties in'our j
efforts to induce immigration, especially
of the plodding, tireless German element
into our State. ,
The honest, capable white laborer will
therefore welcome most gratefully any
system which calls forth and rewards
their prime elements of labor?efficiency
and productiveness. The policy hitherto
adopted, which degrades the white not
only to the level of the negro laborer,
but to the level of the worst negro laborer,
has been most fatal; and that better pol?
icy which magnifies efficiency and pro?
ductiveness in all labor, whichever pro?
motes their qualities and which seeks to
reward them, will not only stimulate the
better class of negro laborers to still
greater exertion, but it will encourage
and help our own white laborers, and
also finality induce to the South by our
superior advantages of soil and climate,
a larger influx of white immigration. Our
land is capable of sustaining a much
larger population. Agriculture even
among us, is in a rude state; it is des?
tined, however, to make rapid strides to?
wards perfection. We have also this pre?
eminent advantage: while our agricul?
tural resources are abundant and have
not been utilized because they have been
so very abundant, our manufacturing
facilities are unequalled in the nation.?
The South should not only grow to be
a great agricultural country, it should
also become a busy manufacturing mart.
The cotton that is made in our own fields,
should be spun and printed in our own
factories.
We never can induce the necessary
capital from abroad until we establish a
government the permanency and simple
honesty of which "shall be known and
read of all men." We cannot have such
a government in South Carolina until the
business element, ramifying every voca?
tion, trade and profession, shall "lay to"
its mighty hand and say it shall be.?
Labor Reform is among the elemental
agencies contemplating results so vast
and beneficent.
All classes in Laurens recognize the
prominent place of Labor Reform in the
great work of the "Rehabilitation" of
the State; all classes, farmers, mechanics,
laborers, lawyers, merchants, doctors,
ministers of the Gospel; all the classes
whose work and skill make up the grand
total of the State, are united now in
making Labor Reform what it is designed
to be aud what it certainly will be?a
great, unspeakable good to all classes of
society. The excessively hot weather
prevents a longer communication ; the
subject in itself and in its relations is
boundless.
In your effort to make Labor Reform
successful in Abbeville, do not overlook
the wonderful power of the press. We
are mainly indebted to the Laurensville
Herald for the unprecedented success of
the movement in Laurens county. Its
columns have teemed with this great sub?
ject for the last few months. Both its
editors are in profound sympathy with us.
Your very ably conducted press can make
Labor Reform to Abbeville what it al?
ready is to Laurens. It has already become
a fixed institution in Laurens county. The
people are all relying on it as a powerful
auxiliary in their efforts of recuperation ;
and they are relying upon it with a
strength of devotion which is simply
wonderful.
You have our sympathy and the sym?
pathy of the Laurens people in your ef?
fort to make Labor Reform a success in
your county, and you can depend upon
onr active aid and co-operation.
Very truly,
A. W. Moore.

An Important Witness.
It was a peace-warrant case, between a
conple of colored gentlemen, before a
Georgia justice of tbe peace. I sauntered
into tbe court-room just in time to hear
Uncle Zip, the grizzle-headedold darkey
who was prosecuting, give bis evidence
from the witness-stand.
In response to a question from the
Court. Old Zip gave his trousers an ex?
tra hitch and turned loose.
"Yer see," said he, "I war a-settin' wid
Tildy, an' she war a-settin' wid me; an'
efde trufe mils' be tole, we uns war bofe nv
us a-settia' tergedder."
"Go on," said the Court.
?Tassur," replied Zip. "Well, Marse
Jedge, it war at Tilda's house. I war
a-settin'?in de do' an' Tilda, she war
a-9ettin' in de do'; an' I war a-settin', as
Iwld umafo'"?
"Never mind about that," said the
Justice, impatiently. "Go on with your
story."
"Yassur. Well, den, yer see Tilda,
she war a-settin* in de do'; an' I war
a-settin' in de do'"?
"What happened next?" asked His
Honor.
"Why nuffin' heber happened nary
time," said Zip.
"Yer see we nn9 war bofe settin' ter?
gedder"?
"Oh! bother!" interrupted the Court.
"Go ahead and make out yonr case.?
Confine yourself to the question."
"Yassur. Well, ef yer mus' hab it, I
war a-settin' between um"?
"Between who?" interrogated the
Court
"Between who? Oh yassur,"continued
the exasperating witness. "I got urn
now. Yer wants ter know jes' who I war
a-settin' wid?"
"Bless your soul, yes I" said the Justice,
very emphatically.
"Well, Marse Court, dat Borter mixes
up tings. TJnnerstan'' me now, I'se
a-tellin' yer de troof. Deacon ob de
Baptist chutch I is, an' I cnddn't tell a
lie ef I wanted ter. Well, den, Tilda war
a-settin'"?
"Hold up!" cried His Honor, seizing a
ponderous law book. "You've got to
stop that everlasting 'settin,' or I'll settle
yon. Tell me at once how many of you
were at this woman's house."
"Dat's jes' what I'm a-comin' at," said
Old Zip, very calmly, 'Ter see, in de fus'
I place, dar war Tilda"?
"Good!" remarked the Court.
"An' Tilda, yer see, war a?mean, she
war in de do'. An' dar war me next. I
war in de do' ; and we war bofe"?
"Dry up!" aaid the Court "Now tell
us where the defendant was." '.
"Dunoo whar," said Zip, scratching
I bis head doubtfully. "Spec"'?
"Do yon mean to say," asked tbe Court,
with a rising inflection, "that the defend
[ ant wasn't present?"
"Sartinly," replied Zip. "Ain't got ter
dat pint yit awhile. Ise takin' yer back
ter de beginnin', more'n two yeah ago;
an', as I war a-settin', an' a-settin' "?
"Mr. Baliff, adjourn this court!"
shouted His Honor, purple with indigna?
tion. "And make these parties settle
their difficulty out in tbe back yard."
The investigation came to an abrupt
close, and tbe last I saw of Old Zip he
J was complaining loudly because be
i couldn't tell the entire history of his case.
It was a pity.
The Latest Wonder.?The readers
of the Traveler have been made acquain?
ted with the wonderful inventions of
Prof. Bell, by which musical and vocal
sounds can be and have been sent over
the electric wires, bat few if any, are
aware of the wonderful results which are
sure to follow these improvements in tel?
egraphy. A few nights ago Prof. Bell
was in communication with a telepraphic
operator in New York, and commenced
experimenting with one of his inventions
pertaining to the transmission of musical
sounds. He made use of his phonetic
organ and played tbe tune of "America,"
and asked the operator in New York
what he heard.
"I hear the tune of 'America,'" replied
New York, "give us another."
Prof. Bell then played "Auld Lang
Syne."
"What do you hear now?"
"I bear the tune of Auld Lang Syne,
with the full chords, distinctly," replied
New York.
Thus the astounding discovery has been
made that a man can play upon musical
instruments in New York, New Orleans,
or London, or Paris, and be heard dis
distinctly in Boston. If this can can be
done, why cannot distinguished perform?
ers execute the most artistic ana beauti?
ful music in Paris, with an audience
assembled in Music Hall, Boston, to
listen!
Prof. Bell's other improvement, name?
ly, the. transmission of the human voice,
has become bo far perfected that persons
have conversed over one thousand miles
of wire with perfect ease, although as yet
the vocal sounds are not loud enough to
be heard by more than one or two per?
sons. But if the hnman voice can be
sent over tbe wire, and so distinctly that
when two or three known parties are tel?
egraphing, the voice cf each can be re?
cognized, we may soon have distinguished
men delivering speeches in Washington,
New York, or London and audiences as?
sembled in Music Hall or Faneull Hall
to listen.?Boston Traveler.
The Greatest of All Bores.?An
exchange states that the work on the
Hoosac tunnel is now completed. After
twenty-eight years of agitation and labor
this darling enterprise of the State of
Massachusetts has reached a successful
consummation. The first passenger
trains were put upon the road Monday,
July 17, making through connections
with the West over tbe New York Cen?
tral. The line which was to induce the
great West to share its prosperity with
the mother State is but just beginning its
operations in earnest, and Boston may
now fairly compete with New York for
the Western trade. The first passenger
train passed through the tunnel July 8,
1875. Though the road was then formal?
ly opened with much ceremony and cele?
bration, so much work remained to be
done that it has not been ready for actual
use until the present time. During tbe
past year the tunnel has been enlarged
and arched, and the road from Greenfield
to North Adams almost rebuilt, making
it one of the most substantial roads in
the country. The central shaft, which
was built at an expense of upwards of a
million of dollars, and twenty or more
lives, was originally designed as a third
Eoint where the work of excavation could
e carried on and afterwards serve as an
immense chimney through which the
smoke and bad air of the tunnel would
be taken off. The shaft itself was only
completed a few months before it was over?
taken by the work from the western en?
trance of the tunnel, so the temporary
advantage it gave cannot be said to be in
proportion to its cost. Experience has
Eroved that the rush of air occasioned j
y the speed of the trains affords suffi?
cient ventillation, and that the shaft is
an actual disadvantage. It has therefore
been entirely closed near the surface of
the mountain. The whole cost of the
road from Greenfield to the State line on
tbe west, including the tunnel, is, accord?
ing to the lowest estimate, ?14,124,000?
distance, forty-four miles.
? A lady who is very successful in
raising poultry, says when the wings of
her little turkeys begin to lop down, and
they look sick and weak she pulls out the
longest feathers on each wing, and they
are all right and smart in a few houre.
She very seldom loses one, and she has
tried it for years. If it is so, it is worth
knowing and practicing.
? Statistics show that thus far in this
Centennial year two boys have been born
to every girl, and a very fine article of
boy in every instance, too. Does this
mean another war, or merely less talk?
Mark Twain on the Indians.?
When Mark Twain, in 1867, resigned
his Clerkship to the United States Senate
Committee on Conchology, it was partly
caused by his tender of the following ad?
vice concerning the treatment of the In?
dians of the West: "I next went to the
Secretary of War, who was not inclined
to see me at all until he learned that I
was connected with the Government. If
I had not been on important business I
suppose I would not have got in. I
asked for a light (he was smoking at the
time) and then told him I had no fault
to find with his defending the parole
stipulations of Gen. Lee and his comrades
in arms, but I could not approve of his
method of fighting with the Indians on
'?he plains. I said he fought too scatter?
ing. He ought to get them more together
?get them together in some convenient
place, where he should have provisions
enough for both parties, and then have a
general massacre. I said there was noth?
ing so convincing to an Indian as a gen?
eral massacre. If he could not approve
of the massacre, I said the next surest
thing for an Indian was soap and educa?
tion. Soap and education are not as
sudden as a massacre, but they are dead?
ly in the long run, because a half-massa?
cred Indian may recover; but if you
educate him and wash him it is bound to
finish him some time or other, It under?
mines his constitution; it strikes at the
foundation of his being. 'Sir,' I said,
'the time has come when blood-curdling
cruelty has become unnecessary. Inflict
soap and a spelling book on every In?
dian that ravages the plains, and letthem
die!"'
Bee-Raising.?Bees are as useful as
chickens, and as easily raised. They
afford us a luxurious food; healthy, and
might be cheap. Bees need little feeding,
little expense and attention. They want
only a comfortable home, covered from
the storm and sun, and protected from
the marauding miller. They will make
their own living and do considerable to?
ward the living of the farmer. Not many
swarms can be kept prosperously in one
place, but every farmer may raise honey
for home use and a little to spare. Every
gardener, every villager might do it. A
single swarm of bees, well attended to,
will soon produce as many swarms as can
be successfully kept in one place. All
that bees make is clear gain. They get
their treasure from the flowers. We
should have bees enough in the country
to have one always sipping at every flow?
er. The flower is all the time producing
honey. The bee should be all the time
gathering it. If we had a bee all the
time at every flower, honey enough would
be procured to supply the world. It is a
means of health, wealth, and pleasure.
Let bees be cultivated; let every farmer
have them. Tbey are as useful as cows,
and far less troublesome. A little atten?
tion will teach one to manage them.?
Rural Sun.
Truth.?How beautiful is truth! In
this world where there is so much false?
hood and deceit, whereby hearts are es?
tranged and recriminations, crimes and
assaults engendered?how beautiful are
true thought, word and deed. Like the
sun smiling out amid the angry storm;
like the bright stars shining through the
heavy night cloud; like friend clasping
the hand of friend; like right butting
wrong; like the lance of virtue's ring on
the shield of vice; like heaven upon
earth, and God in man is truth! Pre?
cious and priceless. Dearer than smile
of friend, love of parent, pomp or fame.
Truth is all. By this we know the nature
and value of things. Falsehood is das?
tard. Truth is bold, noble and God
given, beyond every other attribute of
the soul. '

THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD.
NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur?
nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh
from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No
snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,
and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than anyioth
er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the
water beyond a doubt by. ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of
water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at year door to
extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work?
ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify.
It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon
which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining
Counties, together with the Counties of Hart and Elbert in Georgia, by
A.L01TZO Xj. WELCH,
Anderson C. II., S. O.
Send in orders at once for Pumps, and they will be delivered and. put in immediately.
