Tho Presidcut'u Condilli Thc President's symptoms during thc past week have continued to bc very, alarming, and he now lias indications ? that bi* blood has become affected from j the wound, which renders hi" recovery j very doubtful. Public opinion lias despaired of his recovery, though the doctors continue to I ? publish encouraging bulletins. I ? THE I?KOIIIKITIOX .MOVEMENT. With all due deference to thc sincerity ? of purpose and zeal nf thc gentlemen j who are hailing thc present temperante!, movement in this State, wc must enter a i diflcrencc of opinion as to thc method i i they have adopted to reach the end they t haw in view. The effort to i UM a pro-. i hibitory liqui r law in this State eau only j ? work mischief and harm if it should alic j i cecd. Thc intemperate u?o of spirituous \ liquors her." and everywhere i> a great 11 scciai and ni-.r.t! evil, hilt it i-an evil j < which cannot he cheeked by any other l t than social and moral influences. Laws ' 1 cannot do il until the social and moral i sentiment of the body politic i- in favor j . of legislation in theory, and will execute | thc laws in practice. This is a free j i country. In it every man has th- right ? ! t ? think and vote as he plea->e?. and n, ^t j ( generally this right i> fully exercised by , I all. EM ry vole counts thc same> every ? . other vote, ami, therefore, thc advocates ! . of .my moral reform have no advantage I over their opponents on account of posh : lion. Wilt-ll il come- to tilt! polls thc : simple question i-, which -ide has thc ( most votes? and it makes no difference : whether all g i id men vote one way and i thc had mon vote another; if thc had i men have ibo majority of thc votes cast, ? their side of thc question prevails just as ] I effectually as the good mon would have]' done ha l they tho majority. With this ? principle, which governs our law-making j as a -tarting point, let us sec if public i i MMitiilient in thi-, State favors a prohib?- ( ' tory law. if wc judge from thc eiiihtssi- i asm and apparent success of thc prohi- I bitionisU, we wnuLi u nclude that such a law might moot thc popular wishes, but. i viewed in a practical way, it seems to us \ ' that it mus? bc concluded that South j i Carolina i-? i.*-t ready for prohibition. : In thc first place, it will not do to count i all who have signed the petitions for thc ' : enactment of a prohibitory law as in j reality favorable to such a la?, for in fact soma of them would vote against it if it should be submitted for their suf- < frage- to decide, lt must also be remem bered lhat thc prohibitionists have been doing all or nearly all of the talking and writing during this agitation, and thc other side has said very little. It docs net, however, signify that there nrc no anti-prohibitionists in this Slate. In North Carolina everything wa? pro hibition-men, women and children, whito and colored, Jew and Gentile, Christian and heathen, Democrat and Republicans-up tri a few months before the election, if we are to judge from the newspapers and articles published in thom. Il looked like there would be no difficulty whatever to drive out thc man ufacture and salo of all intoxicating drinks, but a short time before the elec tion tho opposition rallied, and thn crush ing defeat of prohibition by over ono hundred thousand majority was a com plete surprise to the friends of thc tem perance reform. (?ur population is not very different 1 rom that of North Caro- I linn, and the influences which controlled tho vote there, in our opinion, would control it here, except that we would bo worse beaton in proportion to our voting . population, for we have a largo colored majority in thin State, while they have a large white majority in North Carolina. Thc sentiment of thc majority of tho voters of the State is certainly against prohibition, and any attempt to secure it now will be worse than futile. In the next pltce, let us soe if public opinion woulel enforce the law if ennctod, and, to decide this, we aro not left to con jecture, for the sense of the body politic is fairly tested by thc laws now upon our statute books. If the presen; laws aro not enforced, it would be unreasonable to expect more stringent regulations to be carried out, and yet every ono knows that tho laws now of force are most shamefully violated every day. The whiskey wagon is going through tho country at frequent intervals in various parts of the State, and yet we have never known one reported .ir an indictment brought against the owner in any of oui State Courts. Tho law against selling liquor lo a person of known intemperate habits and to miuors is constantly vio lated, and yet thorc are no prosecutions in consequence of the violation. It is an easy way of performing a moral duty to ask some one e'.se to enjoin the evil, and a great many persons will be found who are willing to request another to do what he ought to do himself, but doea not like the responsibility of, aud hence wo find many persons willing to have a iaw passed which they would not try to enforce. For these reasons we do not believe that tho public sentiment of the State would enforce tho law if enacted. The consequences of a success in pro curing thc passage of a prohibition law would bo ruinous to tho State for two reasons: First, because it would induce an independent canvass of thc State in the next election upon the sole question of the prohibition law, which would split off from thc reguiar Democracy at least thirty thousand white voters, who, with the large negro vote of the Slate, would defeat tho Democracy by not less than from seventy to one hundred thousand majority. This would be ?.he end of Democratic ascendency in South Caro lina, and in the interminable scrarablo which would ensue the Republicans wou'ei certainly secure tho State, and we would again drift into the niisfortmes which characterized the former gov i ment of tho State. The second injury from she passage of the law would be the backset which would bo given to the cause of temper ance U?>1f in tub Stole. If tho law bliould be pa?sed and the question car ried before the people in the next can vas-?, nod anti-prohibitionists elected to thc Legislature, a? we have no doubt would bo in a majority of cases, thc law would be repealed, and with it the whole some laws which we now have on thc subject might also he wiped out. In another article we shall point out the advantage- of the laws we now have, and urge our temperance friend* '.c. direct ] their efforts to thc enforcement of thc j present law-, and to developing the j moral and social opinion- of our people in such marinerai to bring such public sentiment to beat in opposition tu intern- I pcrancc as will greatly und rapidly de crease the evil in our midst. In this way wc can make a more successful and practical fight against whiskey than call Lie done by appealing to the law-making power as long as "tu population u di i'ided as it i- at present The great failure (his year in the crop- j >f cottou and com will very materially j iffeet thc condition of all agriculturists ! >f KmnSl noan- Their income from lu.-o crop- will gen? rally be entirely in idequate lo pay their debt- for the pres nt ye;<r and run them through the coni ng crop sea-on.

Likewise they should sow i large portion of their hinds in oats, by means id" w hich they cm. beginning w ith ih" mouth of .lum-, furnish their own food for stock without buying corn und day at the ruinous prier- likely to pre vail next year. l'y planting the small ^rain- -barley, rye. wheat ami oats--our people can in a large inea-iurc remedy thc ?carcity to flow from this year's failure. 1'hcse crop- can bc planted from now MU LI! Christmas, the sooner, however, the Lu tter for all of them except wheal, and when planted will require no further at icntion nilli] the harvest season arrives. "Thus the planter will have the whole of next Spring to prepare and plant and work over for the first time his crops of corn ami cotton, so that thc acrcnge of them need iK>t bc materially decreased by lack of labor in consequence of thc planting of small grains. If, however, the supply of arable lands is somewhat cut off, the planter < iii supplement thc lack of acreage by better preparation, higher fertilization and more thorough cultivation, by which thc yield per acre will be increased and tho total income ami saving from thc diversified crops can he fairly tested. Our planters ought to try a reduction of the cotton and an in crease of the other crops one year, any way, to ascertain by experience its desira bility a- a system, and we hope they will not lind another year so ndvanlageoo.r hy the necessities of their situation as tho present is for thc experiment. We know that newspaper advice to farmers is gen erally not worth much, but we think thc most practica! and sncce-slnl farmers of the country will endorse us fully when wc urge every ono as far as possible- to plant bnrlev. rve, wheat anti oat? this Fall. There is a Orange in this County which has borrowed twelve hundred dol lars for its members on a lien at sevxn percent, i uteri st, and with this nv-ney they buy their supplies for cash. iVhal they havo done others can do a!so, and thus thc lien law could be made n vary great ble-?ing to very many persons Without it each member of thc Granat :r. question would have, oe*;; compelled to mortgage his property at a greatly in creased expense for drawing and record ing, or would have been compelled U resort to personal security, which mam of them could not have given.

Th?.- ;.dvo cates for the repeal of the lien law havi not furnished us with any practical solu tion of thc credit system thnt is bettci thau thc present laws for those wh-o necc credit. Speaking of the Atlanta Cotton Expo sition, the Constitution says: "As theda} of the opening of tho Exposit* n dratvi near thc evidences of its complete sue ce?? accumulate. The vast floor-spaci covering now '500.000 square feet-is al taken up for exhibits or other purposes and still tho demands f.ir space pour in The average daily demand runs up to f>,000 square feet, and frequently moro i asked for. There seems to be no dimit? lition in thc applications, but rather ni increase. The perfect succ?s* of th RIIOW is assured, and the only troubh now is tc satisfy applicants with les space than they want. Various plans o annexes and new buildings are heine, prepared, and all who want space cai rely on being ai imraodatcd." Thv Democrats of New York are get ting ready for a contest in the comin| State election. They will unite th< Tammauy and anti-Tammany wings o the party by nominating men from eacl faction on the State ticket. In this wa; they expect to elect the officers to bi chosen this year, and then the pro gramme is to elect ex Gov. Tild-"' Go? crnor again next year. Tb?- ,/U him in excellent trim for the I res itmutin nomination in 1884. If he succeeds it capturing New York from the Republi cans, he will certainly be a very Biron candidate. The physicians in charge of Presiden Garfield will lose heavily in reputatio if he should die of hi? wounds. The have repeatedly asserted thc opinion the the President would get weil, and hav persistently deceived the public in thei official bulletins. Their course can onl be vindicated by the recovery of thei patient.

Thc barby i-. particularly fine. Those who try il will find this cop relieve? the scarcity of corn and roughness for ?tock better than any crop that can be grown for the month- of April and May. With thc gloomy outlook before us for next year's supply, it behooves us io prepare for thc coming stringency by supple menting this year's -hort crop hy suet) crops a-* will bc Mintiest available next season.

Next Spring he will appreciate ben efit- that arc th rived from it. speaking of thc President - condition on ?.i-f Saturday, l?r. Hammond, ex Surgeon < ?cm rai of thc Army now re siding in New York, and who has severely criticized thc management of the President's case, id : "I believe the treatment now injudicious, and has been s i except during the first forty-eight hours ol thc treatment. I never said the President was cot tain to die, and I do not believe now, when he is at bis very wor.-t. that he is certain lo die. Thc attending surgeons during lite first twenty-four hours g ive him one chance in a hundred of recovering. I have never put his chances as low ?LS that, ami do not '.?link they are at low HS that now, and 1 regard them now worse than they ever have hecu. We understand there is to be- a meet ing of the citizens ol Edgeficld county at Gil 'i:tl Chr.eli on thc l>t of September to arrange tor a survey of a railroad route from thc Court House to thc At lantic ?md French Proud intersection with ihe Greeuwootl and Augusta, with a view of uniting thc ridgefield and Aiken and the Atlantic and French Broad lines. Representatives of the Savannah Valley Poad will also be pre-cut and present the advantages of this linc-. It is the true ally of thc Edgcfield and Aiken line4, and is now almost, if not quite, an assured fact, and that, too, at an carly day. 1 hir ridgefield friends will do well to consider carefully their interests bvfnrc uniting with any other line of projected railway. Ex-Gov. Brown has resigned the Pres idency of the great Cotton Exposition of Atlanta in consequence of thc illness of his son, which terminated last week in death. Thc Governor, however, made it an assured success before resigning. After regretting tho resignation of Gov. Ilrown, the ('.institution says: "Tile Ex ecutive Committee unanimously elected Gov. Colquilt to lill thc vacancy occa sioned by the resignation of Gov. Brown. This selection will meet with universal approval, and completely negativen any damago that the resignation might have done had not there been so satisfactory r substitution made. Gov. Colquitt enters upon his dillies at once." Tho Greenville AVIM files its claim te bc the first paper to nominate Genera! Hancock for the Presidency iu 1884. Ii thinks the campaign cry, "Hurrah foi Hancock!" entirely too melodious to be given up so soon. Hancock would make a glorious President, but rumor has ii that Uncle Samuel J. Tilden wants an other chance, and if so we predict that unless his health fails him, he will get it Gov. Tilden has not received his due? from the country, and a feeling to righi his Wlongs will give n powerful senti ment tu n canvass for him next time. Thc r?utue newspapers which wert I heading their paragraph columns willi "God bless Dr. Bliss!'' because of his medical skill in thc treatment of ?bc President's wound, are now roundly abusing him '--deceiving the public anti for lack of skill in managing thc case This proves that becalm a man is agooei editor, he is not necessarily a good judge of surgery. With short crops all over the State there will be thousands of small lane owners and tenants who cannot pay of their debt? this year and have enough tc feed and clothe their families during Hie coming year. Is it wiso to destroy theil cheapest and most convenient means o credit by repealing the lien law? The Greenville Municipal Election. The election yesterday for Alderman from Ward 1 passed off quietly. The twt candidates voted for were James A. Hoy! and '.V. E. Howland, and tho follow ing i; tho result : Ttnwland.:v.H Hoyt.221 Rowland's majority.17; Tho total unmoor of votes waa 0>17 which ls short of tho total number n registered voters in the city, tho rogisteree vote hoing - Whites f?<es j colored, 318. A considerable crowd of voters wore early at tho poll, the Wot or Rowlanr vote predominating from tho start nmi continuing in tho load nil dav. Thc Whisky men evidently ox pooled" a tiercel tight than was marie hy tho Dry or lin superiors, as the fernier were* earlv and anxiously at work. It was apparent from tho outset that ibo Dry men wore careles* about tho result, only ono or twr activo worke'rs voltinteerhig'to stand iii fer the Dry :;:dc with any degree .' earnestness. At 0 o'clock about l.V votes had l>eon polled, n considerable majority of them being for Rowlat.d. Th* negroes", or at least a number of theil "strikers," were enthusiastic for Row land, and they voted solidly tho Kow land ticket. From ?he first there was bul little electioneering done for Col. Hoyt, who did not appear at the J>OHH ; and a tiff election proceeded even the feeble in torest manifested at tho beginning dice: away and tho We's were in possession during the day. keeping a closo wntcli with tho view of polling ns many \ote,? as possible. Tho Dry voters approached and loft tho polls singly and by twos an?: threes, very few of thom lingering longei than to get some sort of an idea of "how it was going," or to listen for a moment t< tho constant cross tire between Col.

Tho Wets knew their tuen nm looked closely niter thom. The Dr> voters composed tho "go ns you ploase' party there being no organised ettbrt 01 concert of action on their part to eloci Col.

The meal i-- subjected toa hydraulic pressure of 200 tons. Tho bags ?ire left in press about sc veil tecu minutes. Tho oil runs miami tile meal is pi ess od in to a solid cako-oil euko. Tin? oil is pump i vi int*'a room, called the oil room, and either barreled iu u erin le state or relined. lt is relined by treating ir with caustic sela. In relining the deposit falls io tho bottom, and the refined "il amounts to about s-j p.-r cent, ol'the crtltlc. The lirst product derived from thia process is tlie lint, which amounts lo aimilt :t per ont. of a crop-that is tho country gin takes 07 per cent, of tho crop and lim seed retains:; per edit., which the mills secure. Tho cotton is very v\ bite and clean hut very short, mid tho best of it sells at ?i.\ cents per pound. It is used to make cotton hutting and the shortest libre as paper stock.

Three gallons nf cot ton seed oil and ono of olive oil mu!- ? four gallons of tho avenido olive oil. and tho cotton oil can hardly be defected. Tin? question naturally arises, if wo have to eat olivo oil which is made from colton seed, would it not be well for home manufacturers to prepare it and not allow the consumer to pay two freights across ibo Atlantic Fourth. The oil cake is of a rich yellow color, and is used principally to feed Htock, for which uso it is ground and fed ?ike corn meal. 1'. is shipped in sacks, each weighing JOO pounds. It is also a most valuable fertilizing agent. Experi ments made by leading farmers in tho Stale show that ?iOfJ pounds of meal yields inore cotton, corn or other grain than a ton of cotton seed, and ls especially effective in protecting crops from the ef fects of drought. Fifth. The deposit left when the oil is rctlnod is used to make soap and also for making ?lyes. Thus nothing is lost. In addition to this, it bas been recoil I ly discovered that the oil of tho cotton seed univ be substituted for lard. Col. O. O.

Some vears agi? a mill was started in Columbia in this State, but either through hat! management or for sonto other cause the project was given np. The aniount of seed used in the mills is about UO.Oo? tuns yearly.
