E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THUESDAY, OCT. 1, 1885. TB RMS i ONE YKAK..,.,.~_-?1.50. SIX MONTHS.? ?.?....??????????*..?? 7So. Two Dollars If not paid In advance. Alluding to the suspension of a South Carolina paper, the Greenville .News repeats with novel force, the traditional .truth that no .new journal can be main? tained in a town where there is no room for it. Our contemporary alludes to the fact that fourteen attempts to force second daily paper on Greenville proved a dismal failure. And yet running a newspaper is a harmless amusement, which men of means and leisure can undertake to gratify their personal tastes and purposes. There is no way in which a man can get experience quicker, although it does cost him a trifle dear. The Augusta Chronicle says that Col. Nicholas Smith, who married one of] Horace Greeley's daughters, repelled a slander in these words : "I am reminded that truth is a dull domestic fowl which rarely stirs from home, while scandal is a bird of prey that lives upon the wing." There is much strength in this ?"comparison. It is a sad reflection that falsehood too often finds a base mind to invent and numerous mouths to circulate its calumnies. There is consolation, however, in the knowledge that "Truth crashed to earth will rise again." Mis? representation and falsehood are short* lived, while truth grows brighter and stronger as the veil is torn from the face of slander. The New York State Democratic Con* vention last week re-nominated Gov. David B. Hill for Governor,' with the following associates: For Lieut Gov., Kose veil P. Flower; Comptroller, A. A CLapin ,* Attorney General, Dennis O'Brien; Treasurer,1 Lawrence J. Fitz? gerald * Engineer, Nathan Sweet. After the Convention adjourned, Mr. Flower, who was a candidate for Governor, and had aspired to the Presidential nomina? tion in 1884, wroto a letter declining the nomination for Lieut. Governor This, of j course, weakens the strength of the Dem? ocratic nominations, and will require good management on the part of the State Committee in filling the position to jaext^isaster. The-Republican ticket is admitted to be a very strong one, andj the Democrats of the Empire State will have to present a spectacle of. unity and party zeal beyond their custom if they j succeed this. year. The Republicans flaunt wildly the bloody shirt and dodge the important issues of the day, while the Democratic platform speaks out i -plainly and practically upon the leading I su^je^cs of public interest at this time. ~It is conceded thai both parties have strong nominees, and the result will be j watched with the greatest interest by the j people of all sections. THE FKNDUGTON STOCK SHOW. The exhibition of blooded horseB, c*>its, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c, to be held AhJBendletoa on next Thursday, the '?eighth inst., bids fair to be a mammoth' affair. Last year the exhibition was far beyond the expectation of its originators, and those who attended were delighted, both with the pleasant meeting and the i magnificent display of live stock. This year greater preparations have been made, and greater inducements lor at? tendance offered. An excursion train from Ninety Six and return will be run, arriving at Pendleton at 10 o'clock a. m., ^saA leaving at some convenient hour in the afternoon, so that a large crowd from a distance will be present. Thero is no more pleasant place to visit in the State than Pendleton, and at this time those -who may be present will see, we believe, the most progressive, intelligent and successful stock growing section of South Carolina. The display of blooded horses ^registered cattle will,'we are confi? dent, exceed any exhibition that has ever [been made in South Carolina. In addi? tion to this, the sale of fine cattle will be novel and interesting feature of the lay. It is, we believe, the first co-ope the stock sale ever attempted in the State, and we trust it will be an entire success. Our Pendleton friends have Ihewn great public spirit in this move? ment, and deserve to receive the hearty jmmendation of all our people who wire to promote stock breeding and the luring of improved stock in our midst. \qj should encourage the movement by ig present on the eighth, if possible, convenient railroad arrangements give persons accessible to the rail an easy way of attending, of which lope hundreds of persons will avail iselves. GTJTLTY OF MURDER. Ge of the moat interesting murder Irrsfe of recent years was that of Eugene W. Beck, which has just been concluded I in Rabun County, Georgia, for the mur I der of his wife, with the details of which tragedy our readers have heretofore been acquainted. The prisoner was found guilty of murder, with recommendation to mercy, which in Georgia fixes the ..caoisbment at imprisonment in the pen? itentiary for life. The CorMitution says: "For this result credit is due Messrs. Patterson, who stated the law in the case; the magnificent sifting of the testimony by Mr. Claude Estes, and the appeal for j justice made by Colonel 0. D. Phillips. *?>ut the murderer's neck has been saved bom the hangman's noose! And as the prisoner feels his neck to make sure that his head is still on his shoulders, he may thank Mr. E. K. Lumpkin, who ana? lyzed the law; Captain Harry Jackson, who so successfully sustained the theory of insanity; and Ex-Senator Pope Bai row, who pleaded so earnestly for justice to the defendant. A more remarkable legal contest has never been waged in a Georgia Court, and the skill of the ad vocate was never more sharply called pfat?play." The State concluded its case with the testimony of Mr. Julian, Beck's brother in-law, who after telling of the killing, said: <Beck told me that he ought o be hung as an example to tne ronng men of Rabun. 'Tell sister,' said _e, (Mrs. Julian) 'that I love her, and I ?ppnb her to pray for me. Tell Annie Tuie wife of Br. Bailey, of Gainesville,) to pray forme, too.'" The defense plead inanity, and put up a number of witnesses to prove it. They also put Beck on the stand and he testi? fied: "I have been a drinking man all my life. -For five years I would have de? lirium tremens. For forty days I had been drinking hard, when I tried to stop. On the day of this tragedy I had but. I lit tie-liquor with Jeff Dunken. I im* fsgined I could see things coming around line. I don't remember shooting my wife: lor sister, nor did I bear of it until next day. I cover knew it fully till the pre? liminary trial. My wife was kind to me. She never said anything while I was* drunk, but waited tili I got sober, aud talked to me. She loved me, and I loved' her as well as my own mother." As he reached the concluding sentence there was a slight exhibition of emotion, bat as he stepped back into the dock, he quickly threw it off. When the jury returned, after an ab* seoce of eight hours, the verdict was rendered as above stated. The Constitu? tion says: "Ex-Senator Barrow has already made a motion for a new trial. In the event that the prisoner's counsel pushes this matter, the prosecution will at once Sress the case against Beck for the mur er of Miss Addie Bailey. For this case a change of venue will be obtained, thus taking the case away from local influ? ence. The State has experienced great difficulty in obtaining evidence. 'Mum was the word' whenever State's counsel approached citizens who knew the facts. Not one of the witnesses when under oath came up to what was stated in pri? vate conversation. As soon as the jury had retired, these persons with valuable information, considering the case at an end, and not aware that the Addie Bailey case was still to be tried, loosened their tongues and began taikiog. This evi? dence has been carefully noted and will be forthcoming on the next trial. A trip to the jail founds the murderer pacing up and down the jail hall. In one end of the hall was a small oil lamp, which shed uncertain light upon the scene. Pope Barrow was seated upon a chair, the jailer was sitting on a box, and Sheriff Godfrey was at the door. 'How do you like the verdict 2A 'It was not what I expected,' said Beck. 'The jury did not seem to listen to Dr. Miller. He said I had delirium tremens. So I had. I know nothing of what I did.' 'What do you think of the jury ?' 'I think it was a good jury, but it should not have found me guilty. I have done no crime. I will not rest under the ver? dict, hut will ask for a new trial.' 'Have yon anything you would like to say in the light of your experience V 'Yes. Say to the people that it is the first drink which makes a man drunk. If he does not take that he will not need the second. I have a great many friends in Atlanta.'" This case points a very strong moral, and furnishes a very powerful argument in favor of temperance. THE NEW RAILROAD COMMISSIONER. Governor Thompson has appointed Mr. Eugene Jervey, of the firm of W. 0. Bee & Co., Charleston, Railroad Com? missioner, in the place of Mr. L. J. Walker, resigned. There were quite a number of other applicants, some of them most excellent gentlemen, and of course there is much disappointment ovee the result on the part of the friends of unsuccessful applicants. There were several of them who were abundantly qualified for the position, and would have made excellent officers ; but the leading business men and political leaders of Charleston urged Mr. Jervey most strongly, and as Charleston is the leading commercial city of the State, and as such interested to a greater extent than any other portion of the State in the operation of the Railroad Commission, it is reasonable that one of the three Com? missioners should be appointed from that city. ' Mr. Jervey has had large business experience/ and is endorsed so strongly that there can he no doubt that he is thought by business men to be the right man for the place, and hence we regard the appointment, without personal ac. quaintance with Mr. Jervey, a most ?xcellent one. - ..-rrr The Augusta Chronicle is usually one of our most practical exchanges, and presents its views in the most forceful and accurate manner, but we think it is wide of the mark when it says: "The Prohibition brethren are seeking to accomplish their ends, at this time, by State laws. Bat they mean to make a .national onset. Their scheme is, as the Springfield Republican shows, .to get a new amendment to the Constitution and consign to Congress the police power necessary to "enforce this amendment with appropriate legislation," as would be necessary if It were adopted. It would totally destroy the balance between Federal and State rights and reduce onr Union to the most consummate imperial? ism on the face of the earth. Many Southern people are as blind as bats to the ulterior objects of the Prohibition? ists." The regulation of the sale or prohibi? tion to Bell spirituous liquors in, accord? ing to our theory of this government, purely a matter for State legislation, and as a practical question should, in our judgment, be left to the people to Bettle by Counties, where they wish to vote upon it. There are doubtless a great many pare and worthy patriots who would vote for such an amendment to the Constitution of the United States from a sense of moral right, just as many would from the most conscientious mo? tives favor any other amendment calcu? lated to effect what they believe to be a moral reform; bnt to assert that the prohibitionists, as a whole, intend to make a national canvass is, we think, a mistake. For instance, Georgia has over a hundred prohibition Counties, we believe, and yet the prohibition candi? date for President got comparatively no votes in that State. The Southern people j are too familiar with the theory and necessities ? of our government to favor i any laws which make the United States 'government operate directly upon the citizens of the separate States. The people of the South can trust themselves to regulate their own local affairs by State laws, without joining any move? ment looking to imperialism. In fact, the very mode in which the prohibition question is agitated in the South shows i that our people recognize it as a State and local issue, and not as a national subject of agitation. Our friends will have to erect a better scarecrow than the national issue to deter the men who favor local prohibition by a vote of the people I of the several Counties. Tobacco Culture. Mb. Editor : In your issue of two weeks ago, you request any one who has been experimenting on tobacco the present year to give their idea of the same. Last Winter I procured foine seed from the Agricultural Department at Columbia, and divided them among the members of our Grange. I tried to get each one to plant one-half acre in tobacco, but I believe there was only one member that planted as much as a half acre besides myBelf, but I believe tbat all planted some, and I believe they are all well pleased with tbe result of their experiment. I am convinced tbat tobac? co culture would be a paying business in this County, provided we could find ready sale for it. I planted one-half acre this year on a thin sandy soil, and used one sack of Wando fertilizer on it. My plants were set out very late and a great many died, so 1 did not get a good stand, but tbe opinion of Dearly every one who has Been my patch is that I will get fully one thousand pounds of leaf tobacco off of the half acre. The great est drawback in the cultivation of tobac? co is the worm. If it is not attended to carefully and regularly the worms will soon eat it up. My opinion is that it will tako one hand busy for three months to attend to one acre to keep off the worms. I only plowed my half-acre twice with a sweep, and hoed it the same number of times. It is curing very nicely. The only trouble being to find shelter for it. E. M. S. BepubllcAn Nominees In New York. The Hon. Ira Davenport, the Republi? can nominee for Governor of New York, was bom in that State in 1841. He was elected State Senator in 1878, and re elected in 1880, and was elected State Comptroller in'1881, receiving the heav? iest vote upon the ticket. At the last election Mr. Davenport was elected to Congress from the Twenty-ninth District. He is a man of wealth, and has estab? lished an orphan asylum and a soldier's home in Bath, Steuben County, where he resides. Mr. Davenport is said to be a cultivated gentleman and a man of irre? proachable character. The indications are that his nomination will prove satis? factory to the various factions of the New York Republicans. Gen. Joseph B. Carr, the nominee for Lieutenant Governor, is the present Secretary of State, and was the only candidate on the Republican ticket elected in 1883. He led on the first ballot for Governor on Tuesday. A few days ago Gen. Carr published a letter saying he was a candi? date for the nomination for Governor only, and would not except any other position on the ticket, but in the conven? tion yesterday one of his friends said Gen. Carr was too good a Republican to decline any duty assigned him by his party. Hon. James W. Wads worth, the nominee for Comptroller, is a native of Philadelphia, and has represented the Twenty-seventh District of New York in Congress several times. ? Julio R. Santos, a naturalized American citizen lately released from prison in Ecuador, accompanied by Congressman McComas, of Maryland, called at tbe State department this morn? ing to pay bis respects to the Secretary and to thank .him and the officials of the department, who interested themselves in his behalf, for their services. To a reporter of the Associated Press Santos said that the Ecuadorian authorities pre? tended to have liberated him in conse? quence of the passage of an Act of par? don by the Ecuadorian Congress. This, Santos declared, was a mere pretence. He was liberated three days after the arrival of the Iroquout and wholly in consequence of the action of the United States Government. The charge against him of having conspired against the Government of Ecuador was, he de? clared, unsusceptible of proof and un? true. He was imprisoned with some other business men in order that money might be extorted from him. He has documentary proof of the willingness of the authorities to release him at any time upon the payment of $80,000. He was confined for a time in an unventila? ted and filthy coal hulk, and was then transferred to a prison situated in the basement of a yellow fever hospital. Mr. Santos will employ counsel immediately, and will file a claim for damages with the State department against the Gov? ernment of Ecuador. ? Nearly 400,000 teachers have com? menced their work in the schools of the country during the present month. ? There is a great deal of red tape in the French army. It took a French soldier who was reported to be dead - five years to prove that he was alive. ? Recently a young man of Abbeville County gave a cow and calf, a shotgun, a sow and seven pigs and six dollars in cash for a hound. ? Last week at Capr. Hugh Robin? son's, Abbeville County, a race at cotton picking came off between William Rob? inson, white, who picked 418 pounds, and John Brooks, colored, who picked 416 pounds. ? The deaths in Europe from small? pox are said to be 60,000 annually. The mortality is almost wholly confined to civilians, as owing to constant vaccina? tion and re vaccination the armies are ?almost free from the disease. ? It will be of interest to the public to know that cotton-growing has been introduced into Russia, and that the crop of last year was 16,000 tons, or 80,000, 400 pound bales. Florida seed are now being used, and the future proportions of the Crop are beyond estimate. ? A cheese dealer states that much of the so-called English cheese is made in this country and shipped to England, whence it is returned, enhanced in value by the sea voyage. Sometimes cheeses are shipped backward and forward two or three times, each voyage addiDg to the richness of their flavor. ? Id the superior court at Boston on Friday Franklin J. Moses, ex-governor of South Carolina, pleaded guilty to the indictment charging him with obtaining money by false pretenses from Ex-Mayor Cobb and others in February, 1884. He will be sentenced on Thursday. He has recently served out a term in the Middle? sex county jail for a similar offense. ? Gen Fitshugh Lee, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia, is fetting the best of John S. Wise, the la hone candidate. He is carrying the campaign along a. la triumphal march riding across the country, accompanied by bands of mounted men, riding the saddle used by his uncle, Gen. R. E. Lee, and the battle flag, torn and blackened, which was borne by Pickett'a division in the charge at Gettysburg, borne in front. ? The following story is told of Mr. James R. Randall, editor of the Augusta Chronicle: He attended ose day a col? ored church in the country, and had in his pocket a silver half-dollar, just the fare back to Augusta. At the conclu? sion of his sermon the minister ordered a collection for his benefit. "Of course," said he, "I s'pects every pussou to give Bomelhin; but I'se told dat Mr. Thomas, up de land yonder, had some turkeys stole Friday night. I don't want any man who had a nan' in stealin' dem tur? keys to put any money in de plate." When the plate reached Rr. Randall not a man had refused to contribute, and the Sreacher's eyes were on him. His half ollar accordingly went into the plate. ? The inability of George Washington to tell a lie left a gap on our national system that his fellow-countrymen have used every exertion to fill up. ? Using the letters in the word "knowledge," a little Georgia girl re? cently formed 240 distinct words, and carried off a prize. ? Life is always interesting wheu you have a purpose and live in its fulfilment. ? "Liquid gunpowder" is the latest invention. A Great Discovery. Mr. Win. Thomas, of Newton, la., says : ?'My wife has been soriously affected with a cough for twenty-five years, and this Spring more severely than over before. She had used many remedies without relief, and being urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery, did so, with most grati S'iug results.

While I cannot boast of the largest stock in the city, I certainly have the NEW? EST. While I have not one of the larger and more handsome store-rooms, my rent costs less; and as I do not employ so great a number of Clerks, I do not have that expense to betx. As I do'not buy Cotton to induce trade, I have no losses to make up on my Goods. I could wellsifford to buy Cotton, as some do, offering a higher price than could be had ALL CASH, for the sake of the trade in tht bale or load. My idea is that it is better to sell the Cotton for the most it will bring ALL CASH, and then buy your Goods where you can do best. To do this, try me before buying, and I'll be sure to sell you. If I find that people require me to buy Cotton before they will trade with me, guess I can do it as the others do. The LONG AND SHORT of the whole matter is, I AM HERE. I'VE COME TO STAY. I'm bound to SELL. It's a ground-hog case with me. Will be glad to see you, whether you want to buy or not. Yours in Earnest. E. B. BENSON. Snnl 17. 18AS 10 _ D. S. TAYLOR 0. B. VANWYCK, ITOTIGE.
