V Washington correspondent lo om; of the Northern papers says that Senator Anthony's illness was caused hy ealing ii partridge which was killed while snow was on the ground and had been ealing . lamb kill." which poisoned thc Sena tors blood. This may all he true, hut people will be very apt lo continue eal ing tho paltridge whenever they can se cure il. The Chicago Tinu* Hays ''it ?Ines not involve much prophetic risk to predict that we ate on the eve in ibis country of thc greatest activity in land investments llial has ever been seen.'' This boom has been growing ill thc I'nitcd States some lime, and is destined to continue until our large farms aro cut lip into small ones, like tho lands of Europe. The fertility of our lands, and the glory ol' our political .system, will render the I.'ni ted States the greatest country of the world in lite npar future. Mr. David Dickson, says. "Is ?s not hard to believe that in the poorest part of Hancock county, Georgia, a man can take $20,000 and double it twenty limes in fifteen years? Rut it is true in the meantime, I have consumed at least seven per cent, of the capital for my family expenses." Thus it will bc seen that agriculture, like any other occupa tion, cnn he made very profitable by the applies lion oi brains in the use of capi tal. Clo?e attention and intelligent management nie the secrets of agricul tural success. The Charlotte Journal is of opinion that before the year 1900 the North will make a determined effort to get rid of negro suffrage, because it has disappoint ed its expectations. We hardly think thc question of negro suffrage will be come n national subject. It is growing yearly of less importance, and tho dispo sition to let each State regulate its own election machinery is becoming continu ally stronger. If things go on ns they are now lending, thc evils incident to negro suffrage will huve been KO far eliminated by the year suggested, that they wi" scarcely be recognized as a force in '?ur political system. The New York Herald says thut if the Republicans cannot olect Mr. Arthur 1'resident next yenr they cannot elect any person. This is probably truo, and if BO is exceedingly comforting to tho Democrats, for it is as certain us any future cvont in politics can be that Mr. Arthur cannot be elected President in 1884. Ho is Guitcau's President, and the people are not at nil likely to ratify by their votes tho act of au assassin. Ilesides this, Mr. Arthur has leaned en tirely too much to tho influence of cliques in his administration. If thc Democrats can temper their canvass with a little moderation and wisdom next year, success ?B reasonably sure. The State of Georgia lins hired out to i'miradora 1200 convicts at $20 per year each, giving the Stale an income of $21,000 per year from convict labor. The lessees dollie and lodge tho convicts, and ?re entitled to ten hours per day labor from them. The price of convicts in Georgia is much lower than in South Carolina. Wo receive $l?ti per yenr for each convict hired ont, and the Peniten tiary of this State is sn managed, that sith a little over SOO convicts, the net receipts herc are several times us great as in Georgia. Both States, however, are doing wrong to hire the convict labor to private persons, and should nrrango as soon as possible, under the surrounding circumstances, tc either work their con victs in tho Penitentiary or, nt least, only to employ them on public works, ?ind then only allow them to bo worked un der tho direction anti control of officers of thc penitentiary. Realizing tho fact that tho State Hoard of Agriculture will not reconsider its action relative to having this State rep resented at the Ruston Exhibition this Fall, the Board of Trade of Columbia has appropriated five hundred dollars towards defraying tho expenses of a proper exhibit of the State's resources at that time, and calls upon the other points of business in the State to con tributo tu this purpose. About two hun dred dollars to the County would secure a magnificent display at Boston from South Carolina. It would bc money well spent, and would retarn very great bonofits to tho State. We hope the cities and towns in the Strte will imitate tko progressive action of the citizens of Columbia, and let tho world see that South Carolina not only bas immense natural advantages, but that she also has au enterprising, progressive and wide awake people, who appreciate those ad vantages and are determined to proclaim th ul. The New York Herald proposes a hand-shaking between the Republicans and high tariff Democrats, on the basis of the nomination cf a Republican for President, and of Mr. Samuel J. Ran dall, of Pennsylvania, for vice-Presi dent. Such a trade would not command the respect of the American people, and ouldj scarcely procure their suffrages. If it could, Mr. Randall would not con tint to lt, for uta future position would be certainly destroyed. As it is, there ara party disagreements on the tariff question, but this ia only oue matter of party faith.- When it shall have been settled Mr. Randall will certainly be one of the leadlos; men of his'party, howev er tbs tariff issue may be determined. Ur. Randall Is an honorable, consistent and able Democrrt, who will be found truo to his party, though he may differ on what wc think a most material point lit present in party policy. At present tvs do not think he could lead the De? rn ocra cy to victory. After tho tsriff policy is settled, wo know of no mah . more worthy of Democratic honors than ? Mr. Randall. Th? Republicans might bo willing to. boy him with the Vice-, , Presidency, bot wo. hare no idea that j lie could be induced to sell oat to them, ?j Til E TOBACCO TAX Will li fl KMC WT THE CONSl'MKlt ? Thc Augusta Chronicle" owl CI/IIMH/H- t fioualht, speaking of thc prediction of tlic Ballimore American, that although thc reduction of thc tax on tobacco ia very considerable, the consument will hardly feel tho difference, says : linly those who buy tobacco In lots of a [Miund or inure will feel it nt all.

Logically it Mboiild ho cheaper, in point of tact it is dearer The consumer i- In nearly every cuse the patient Jackass who bears the burden. This is good protection doctrine, bul it will hardly he received ?is correct with out u little examination. If taking thc tax oil' of sugar ami tobacco makes them cost more, it can only be the result of a combination of the manufacturers ami dealers to keep the price lip. This may Inst for a time, bul cannot stand perma nently in the face of competition. If un article is worth om' dollar in market to its manufacturer, and the government imposes a tax of fifty cents on its sale, the producer will have to nell the article foi" one dollar and fifty cents, or ta*?' lesa for it than it is worth ; hence the price will go to one dollar und fifty cents, with something added to cover intercut on tho amount of tax puid and thc .rouble of paying it, so that in reality the govern ment tux will increase the selling price of thc article a little more than the amount of thc tax itself. If this tux is then taken off, the article would, in a normal condition of trade, fall a little more in price than the amount of the tax ho removed. lu practice, however, it lukes some time for competition in business to regulate thc chango in the price ai au article incident to it decrease in custom duties. If an increase is made, every seller who is in possession of the article adds on the increase, but where it is a decrease thc seller contin ues to ask the former price until compe tition compels him toc?me down to the new order of things. It is, therefore, very piobable that it will require sumo liuiu for the benefit of the reductions made, which are nothing compared to whal should have becij done, will reach thc manses of thc people. Il muy take one or even two crops lo reach them, but it will certainly come, and thc fact that it will require some time for ihesc reduc tions lo reach the people, is tho best reason for hastening thc legislative re ductions. Knell year of postponement delays the relief twelve months. A dispatch from California says : "In reference to tho large opium duties lately paid boro, it is Mated that before July 1, tho dato when tho InoroaHed tax goes into effect, fully $r>,*m,im duties will bo paid on opium importations^ nt ibis port. A mw largo liousns propose to control Ibo trade mid profit hy tho addi tional gi tux." It will bc seen ttl ut the Republicans, in nrranging their tariff duties, have done so in such manner us to open tho door for big jobi- on tho part of the capitalists. Instead, for instance, of letting tho new duty on opium go into effect immediate ly, or in thirty days, they postponed it for four months, during which time tho large dealers will import in large quanti ties nt thc present low price, and hold until after July 1, when they will ? ell to tho people ut tito high price which will follow tho new rate of taxation. Under this arrangement, thc governme.it will get the smaller duty and the people pny tho higher piice, while the importers will complacently pocket tho profits lo be derived from Republican legislation, which always provides an easy menns of jobbery. Tho Philadelphia Time* says of tho Southern storms: If these terrille hurricanes ar? to be come common in that region there will bo a very strong inclination on tho purl of the inhabitants to sock a climate that is not so energetic in its demonstration'.). Yes, and if the Great Weat dues not find some way to stop the freshets and swarms of locusts, ?iud similsr callosi ties, her ,.copio will be in tho samo pre dicament. And then if these sections are deserted, and if the Orer.t North does not manage to make ita lands more fer tile, her people will starve, and if they do not change their seasons so as to grow cotton, they will have to go with very few clothes. It ia foolish to go in to alarms of hypothetical misfortunes in any part of this country. If one will take tho trouble to look into it, they will be apt to find that nature has been very fuir to all in giving drawbacks and compensations alike to nil sections. Bismarck has pronounced against the American hog, and the importation of his bacon into the German Empire is prohibited, on tho allegation that the American meat is unhealthy. The sup posed real reason, however, is thal it is desired to protect the German hog raia? ens. The outlook for the American hog, however, is a little had, in that Greece has followed Bismarck's example and re fuses to receive any grease from us, and Italy is likely to do the same soon. These prohibitions, if followed by Eng land and Franco, would seriously affect the meat growers of the WesL It will tend to cheapen meat hy decreasing the demand, and hence tho South will profit by this unreasonable fight against the American hog, if it is persisted in. The Augusta and Knoxville. The report of the first year of the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad shows the total value of all the company's property to be $086,283 53, or $9.804 per mile for its seventy miles. The net earnings bavo been #30,589,96, the ex ?enses ueiog GA 2-5 of th? luisa income, he earnings have been applied to the payment of a floaiiog Indebtedness for completion of the road of $22,000 (the money borrowed on mortgage having been insufficient) and additional con struction. Tba President says the road waa relieved from its embarrassments nt the beginning of the year by the par chase of its interest bonds by its friends, and recommends that provision be made for tbe payment of the July interest, after which, he thinks, the road will pay ita own interest and expenses easily. He says: "More than two-thirds of tbe grading bas been done on tbs Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg Railroad. Nothing, in the opinion of toa manager ment, la of such vital importance to your company as tbe early completion and operation of. thia line through to Spar tan burg. Tbe increase of business thai would come to your road from this source would more than double its present cara inga and put its futuro beyond contro versy." j a? Itv : 1 I -. . ' O S:? ""' ? A Serious ami Iles! niel he Fire in Seneca City. SENECA CITY, May 5.-our town was visited by ita first serious Gre last night. About h?lf-past ll o'clock fire was dis covered in the three-story building of '1'. H. Ramsey. The town was soon aTarmed and turned out in full force. The fire burned cant and west and looked at one lime as if il would destroy the whole of thc business portion of the town. From the Itamsey building, which is occupied as a residence above and stores un the ground floor, the file caught a two story building belonging to Sloan Stribling, thc lower story occupied by lt. Frank Sloan as a wagon and buggy store and guano agency, and thu upper story as u ball. There being a vacant lot here, by hard work thc progress of thc flames westward was stopped. Last of the Itamsey building was a two story build ing occupied by T. S. and E. VV. Melli vin ux a general store and residence. Near to thia was a one story building occupied by F. Macon as a general store and resilience. There being a va cant lot and a broad street next lo this last building the fire was prevented from going any farther east, though the Cole man Hotel on the next comer was in great danger. A small one story build ing between tho Ramsey building and the Stribling building occupied a* a confectionery by P. rowel!. Between tho Ramsey Ljilding ?...d Metbvin's store was another small building occu pied as a postollice. To sum ii(i, tho loss as far as I can learn was as follows : li. Frank Sloan, wagons, Acc., about 1500, fully insured in thc Florida Mutual Company ; Sloan Stribling, building, $1,500, insured for $1,200; I'owed, confectionery, about 1300, no insurance; I>r. Brown, drugs $500, no insurance; Dr. Mc Elroy, drugs ?-l,iHKt, no insurance; postollice, with all ils contcuiH, value unknown ; T. S. and F.. W. Methvin, general stock, about $2,000, insured for $1,600 in the Florida Mutual Company ; Ramsey's buildings some $3,000, very little if any insurance ; <1. F. Bacon, general stock, about $500 damage io moving stock, insured in Ro chester (?erman ; Dr. John Hopkins, building $1,000, can't learn whether he had any insurance or not. Every ono worked faithfully, nnd it required hard work to stop tho fire on account of all the buildings being wood. A small frame building about seventy five feet west of the Stribling building was cut down and removed, which no doubt enabled us to atop the fire on that side. A deaf and dumb foreigner sleep ing in the Ramsey building was badly burnt, also Miss Lanier, who had rooms in the same building, was burnt Homo, but neither is dangerously injured. Correspondence Neus and Courier. Tile Trunk Linc to Chicago. AliIiRVII.I K, May 3.-The executive committee of the Chicago, Cumberland Gap and Carolina Railroad met here last night, and transacted business of impor tance. The president, ex-Governor ila good, who was present, was instructed to begin forthwith tho permanent location of tho road. In accordance with this direction thc engineering corps will begin thc work nt Aiken next week. This morning Governor Hagood called un informal meeting of the stockholders who reside in this place, and gave them much interesting information in regard to tho condition of the road. It appen that its assets exceed its liabilities, ano aro sufficient for the location of the entire line in this Stale. The matter ol principal interest to thia community is thc location of tho lino and tho depot at this point. Thc old charter required that they should bc within one-half mile of the courthouse, and the subscription!! in the towu were mnde on thai condition. Three routes are under consideration : One directly through the town, one be tween a half and three quarters of u mile, and the other a mile and a quartet from town. Tho first would be exceed ingly expensive, tho second less expen sive, and the third comparatively cheap I judgo that the middle route will bc adopted and am persuaded it will bc entirely agreeable to the majority ol those who have subscribed. Governor Hagood gave us very eu couraging news from Mr. Schofield, thc agent of the construction company tba1 has the contract for building the road Mr. Schofield is in London, and write; that he is confident of securing the assis tance of capitalists sufficient to complete the grand enterprise. Agents of thesi capita!::.!;: will soon be here to iuapcci the route, and upon their report wil depend the action of those who sent thom. That report cannot fail tu b< favorable, and the friends of this voac may indulge the hope that it will be buili at an early day.

A Tough Tale from North Carolina At ti o'clock Monday morning Enginee Jack Edwards and Conductor Malone; left Hickory with fifteen freight cars fd Salisbury, and entertained less fear, pei haps, as to the condition of tho road be than any other crew on the road, bu when about five miles East of Hickor they realized the situation better. Th fill near Mr. Lafayette Miller's hai washed out, leaving a hole about te feet deep and eighteen feet widethrougl the fill, and nothing but the iron an cross ties swung over the hole. A gen tleman, knowing tbat the freight trail would be along early in the morning very thoughtfully started un the road t wave it down, but he had gone but short distance when he met the trait coming, but it being down grade it wa impossible to stop it in time; so in a fei momenta Mr. Edwards on No. 15 forty-five ton engine-was in a few fut of tue break with no earthly power t atop the train.

"They aren't very regular in size, are they ? Now compare ?hem with these, and tell mc which you think are the better." The grocer placed a second handful alongside of tue others. The two lots were of the same dark brown color, and at a little distance away presented no very marked diff?rence. Closer inspec tion showed that while the colfee beaus first shown were not all of the same size, the secoud handful were of extraordinary regularity, the beans beiug very plump and large. "I know what you are going to tell me, and at first glance any one would say so. Your opinion is that the last lot is the best, isn't it 1 Well, thc difference between the two batches is that those which I showed you first are a fair lot of coffee beans, while the others aren't cof fee at all and never grew on a cotice bush." What kimi of a bush did they grow on 1 "No bush ut all. They are a manu factured article. Von need not look as if you didn't believe it, for it's a fact ou which you may safely risk your last dime. They are nothing more or less than imitations, made out of dough, and browned up to resemble the true codee. They are made in moulds and baked af terward. Each one is almost perfect in shape, and all are alike. You won't find genuine coffee beaus to have such regularity." "They look all right, but it strikes mo that no one would mistake the beverage made from them for coffee." "You are wrong again, young man. No respectable grocer would be foolish enough to give any customer who buys a Sound of coffee a pound of imitation, fo, indeed. They mix it in the propor tion of four or five of coffee to one of the imitation. Nobody examines euch bean. You hear persons complaining of bad coffee all the time. 'I'm sun* I can't tell how it is,' says tho housekeeper: 'I buy the tone in the lr-..n aod griud it myself. I am sure it is not adulterated." "You see, the grocer can mix chicory with ground coffee, but when coffee is bought in the bean something's got to 1 be done. Some brilliant mind got over : the difiiculty by making coffee benns to ' order."- AV/e York ?Sun, The Proposed Slutuc lo (Jouerai Lee. RICHMOND, YA., May 1.-For some mouths post discussion has been renewed over the erection of an equestrian statue to (?encrai Robert E. Lee in this city, once capital of the Southern Confedera cy. The Lee Monument Association was formed for this object in 1871, and about$lf>,000 raised by small subscrip tions and halls, among which was the i great Lee hall at the White Sulphur t Springs, West Virginia, when many i Northern ladies vied with Southerners in ' holping forward the cause. It turns out that the managers invested the proceeds in Virginia bonds, which Mahone's actious have rendered worthless, and the whole matter will have to be begun over 1 again. General J. A. Early, in a card this evening, proposes to bo one of fifty j gentlemen to subscribe $1,000 euch for ? the purpose of erecting a bronze eques trian statue of Lee. He naya : "It has been au object very dear to me to see erected at the late capital of the Confed erate States a suitable monument to our j great commander, and I desire to see that monument erected in my lifetime." An Atrocious Murder Avenged. , CHATTANOOGA, TENN., April 80.-A dispatch from the government works at Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River, near Florence, Ala., gives the following details of the lynching on Saturday of Georgo Ware, colored, who murdered a white boy, aged 12, to secure $12 which had just been paid to the Loy. After he had robbed his victim he thron the lad , eight times into the river, but the boy swam back to shore. After thus amus ing himself be tied the boy, beat out bis brains with a stone and again threw him in. A man on the opposite snore wit nessed the murder, but the river was too wid" for bim to make hi? presence knut.u. A description of the negro was ?iven lo the jailer, who arrested him. 'he same night a large crowd of work men employed on the river improvements t visited the jail and demanded the pris- ! oner. Owing to the delicate condition j of the jailer's wife at the time the mob ; was persuaded to disponte. AU this oe- \ curred on the 20th instant.

This is [ specially trim of a family ii) edi ci ne, and it s positive proof that the remedy imitated \ s of the highest value. As soon as it had lieen tested and proved by the whole world .hat Hop Bitters was thu purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to .teal the notices in which the press and people of the country and expressed the merits of II. B., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on tho ?redit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar Jtylo to H. B., with variously devised names in which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were used in a woy to induce peo ple to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or iiircs. no matter what their atvio or name is. and especially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, ire imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or iluster of green Hops on the white label, iruat notiiing else. Druggists and dealers ire warned against dealing in imitations or sounterfelta. Feb 1. 1883 20 4 THE OLD SELIABLJ HARJ?ESS,1 Harness !
