E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THTJBSDAY, OCT. 22, 1885. THRMS: 0NBYS2LB._._S1.S0. SIX MONTHS_._r 75c. Two DoUnfs If not paid In advance. The Augusta Chronicle says : Capt. BaouTs interference in South Carolina's affairs has bad a wonderful effect in building up a large section of that State. Laurens has immensely im .proved, and Spartanburg will boom right along. Raoul is popular in that part of the Palmetto State. The Savannah Valley will reach An? derson next year, and we trust the magic influence of the Baoul system will add greatly to our prosperity. It is hoped that the road will reach Anderson next Summer. Speakiog of the appointment of Rev. - J. L. M? Curry, L.L.D., of Virginia, as Minister to Spain, the Augusta Chronicle says: "Mr. Curry's appointment is said to have been one of Mr. Bayard's special personal friendships." If this be true, we wish that Mr. Bayard had a special personal friend for each position filled in the State Department. . Dr. Curry is an able and thoroughly honorable Christian gentleman, whose qualification for tho post assigned him is abundant and an? questioned. We wish that as much could be said of every officer under the government Hi The Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says "that rumors are afloat in some political , circles that a foreign mission will be tendered a promi nent South Carolinian at an early day, and that this appointment Will result in the promotion of others now holding high responsible State positions. This information comes >o direct and from so reliable a scarce that I am almost temp? ted to name the positions and the men, but I have learned from experience that it is better to withhold names when there i3 any doubt of the correctness of the information, and, as I have not been able to have these ru*mors confirmed, I only mention them in a general way." We suppose now that every subordinate in the State will be anxious to ascertain if his superior is to be the Minister, and thereby provide for his promotion. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, for this State, held an enthusias? tic meeting in Greenville last week. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year': President, Mrs. S. .TP. Chapin, Charleston ; general vice president, Mrs. W..V> Gill, Allendale; corresponding secretary, Mrs. F. A. Walter, Greenville; treasurer, Mrs. W. K. Blake, Spartanburg;. recording secre? tary, Miss Nettie Farrow, Spartanburg. At a public meeting on Friday night, which was largely attened, Dr. Grier, of Dae West, made an eloquent and very effective speech for temperance and pro? hibition, and was followed by Hob. H. G. Scudday, of Anderson, who made a strong and argent appeal for prohibition. The meeting showed that interest in the cause of temperance is spreading through? out the State. We wish the ladies God? speed in their efforts to promote this 5grest reform. SpThe Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle, pays the following compliment to the present administration of the State Government, so far as it re? lates to finances: I have several times lately alluded to the sound financial condition of Sooth Carolina and the; prices at which her se? curities have been ruling. Recently there was'a sale of the Brown consols in New .York at 110, and State Treasurer Richardson informs me that this does not represent the value of these bonds as they are really not in the market for any price. The financial statement, fur? nished by the State Treasury for the first ten -months of the current year, shows receipts amounting to $811,998.90, which, added to the balance in the Treasury on the 31st of October, 1884, $102,356.98, makes the aggregate $814,355.88. The disbursements have been $786,010.24, leaving balance in (he State Treasury to date of $128,345.64, and the second and largest instalments of State taxes for the year just beginning to come into the Treasury. Nearly one-half of the amount expended has gone to pay inter? est on State debt, and this shows how economically the State Government is administered. . Ohio has gone Republican by a decided majority, Judge Foraker, the candidate for Governor having from fifteen to twenty thousand plurality over Governor Hoadly, while Leonard, the Prohibition candidate, received probably twenty-five to thirty thousand votes. This vote is, &rJ usual, larger than the Republican plurality. In the contest for the Legis? lature, which is to elect a Senator in the place of John Sherman, both parties claim the State, and the official returnB will be necessary to determine the figures, though we have no donbt the Republicans will have a small majority, which will give them the Senator. The result in Ohio is a disappointment to the Demo? crats. We had hoped for a better issue, . bat the Republican triumph there bat confirms the opinion, which we expressed in' the beginning of the last presidential canvass, when some of oar enthusiastic free-trade friends wanted to throw away our Northern allies and rely upon Ohio, Iowa and other Western States to elect a Democratic President, that the West is utroDgly Republican, and strongly preju? diced towards tbe South. The most prominent, and perhaps the most success? ful issue made by the Ohio Republicans) was the assault made by John Sherman upon the Sooth's control of the negro vote. Ohio is a Republican State, which may be counted on whenever there is any great occasion for that party to carry it The Colombia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says: The temporary suspension of the "new deal" cry does not prevent political predictions of future results. The following ticket is said to be among the possibilities ; Governor, Hon. John Peter Richardson ; Lieu tenant-Govern or, Hon. D. S. Henderson; Secretary of State, Hon. J. N. Lipscomb; State Treasurer, Hon. W. C. Coker; Comp? troller-General, Hon. W. E. Stoney ; Attorney-General, Hon. Stanyarn Wil? son: Adjutant and Inspector-General, A. M. Manigault; Superintendent of Edu? cation, Hon. A. Coward. This ticket is composed of excellent gentlemen, and would give the State a good administration; bat if the gentle? men named have any idea of running for the offices indicated, their friends are not doing them any kindness by bringing them to the front as a ticket. The senti? ment of the State is, we are confident, jfcroogly against "tickets." Every roan ought to 09 cooaicjered on hit own mer its, and the people should resent any ! thing that looks like a combination. We know that some of the men named here, including Col. Richardson, would not consent to go into any combiuation to control the people's choice, and therefore we make the suggestion that their friends are not properly representing them in presenting a ticket. Let ever position be filled by selecting the best m tor the place; and let us have no ticket or com? bination men on the list. PROHIBITION AND REGULATION. The News takes issue with Mr. Scud day's address before the Women's Chris? tian Temperance Union in Greenville last week, and among other things, says: In his speech last night Mr. H. G. Scudday assailed the personal rights argument against prohibition with the declaration that if the city could inter? fere with a citisens' personal rights to the extent of charging him $365 a year for the privilege of selling liquor it could forbid him to Bell liquor at all. Mr. Scudday was doubtless in ail bis glory when ne stated this proposition, for it was loudly applauded, but in other respect3 his resemblance to Solomon was not startling just then. Everybody concedes the right of the government to regulate the sale of cer? tain articles, including spirituous and malt liquors, arsenic, paragoric, opium, hardware, flour, dry goods and law, some of which are poison while others are not. The man who sells bacon, calico, drugs or farming tools, prints a newspaper or j keeps open a lawyer's office is required to pay a license or close his doors. But; nobody contends that the government has a right to say that any one of them must close his doors and go out of busi? ness because some or all of his wares are harmful or dangerous or do mischief when used unwisely. As we understand the theory of taxation, high taxes and licenses aie put on tobacco and liquor because they are more profitable than other goods and can therefore endure the burden and are luxuries that the consum? er purchases and pays his share of the tax on voluntarily. The law has no right to forbid a man to sell arsenic, but it has a right to re? quire him to pay a license to sell it and to keep it in packages marked "Poison," bearing a skull and cross bones. The law has no right to forbid a man to take arsenic, if he thinks it is good for his health or complexion, so long as he does hot break the public peace in doing it. Mr. Scudday may not have resembled Solomon when be made the statement which the News criticises. We do not know how Solomon looked, and therefore we cannot coutrovert the opinion of our contemporary as to his appearance ; but we are satisfied that if King Solomon had been speaking in Mr. Scudday's place he could not have stated a propo? sition of law under the Constitution and Acts of South Carolina more accurately than Mr. Scudday did, when he asserted that if the city of Greenville had the right to impose a license tax of $365 for the sale of spirituous liquors, it also bad the right to - prohibit the sale entirely. If our contemporary will read the charter of Greenville, and as far as we know, of every incorporated city, town or village in the State, except those in which the sale of liquors is entirely pro? hibited, he will see that the right to grant or refuse license to retail liquors is left entirely to the city, town or village authorities. Hence our contemporary will recollect there have been in Green? ville, as well as elsewhere in the Stale, frequent contests in the election of City Council between the wet and dry portions of the community. Mr. Scudday waB, therefore, right when he asserted the proposition of which the News complains. It may be some food for further reflection if we call attention to the fact that of all the evils which are the subject of every? day commerce the sale of whiskey is the only one which the State has solemnly declared shall not be sold outside of in? corporated cities, towns and villages, and which it prohibits the sale of in quite a number of towns, and gives to all other cities, towns and villages the right to prohibit if they see fit. It likewise places a more stringent regulation upon its sale for medical purposes thau it does upon arsenic or even prussic acid, in that it will not allow a druggist to sell it except upon the written prescription of a physician in actual attendance upon a patient, and requires that prescription to be filed for inspection. It is, therefore, not assuming two much to claim that the State has already solemnly adjudged that the sale of spirituous liquors is an evil, and that prohibition is right in principle. It leaves the matter to the people, except where the Legislature enacts positive prohibition. AN UNREASONABLE CRITICISM. The News and Courier takes Lieuten? ant-Governor Sheppard to task for ap? pearing as counsel for the parties ac? cused of lynching Culbreath lately in Edgefield County, and contends that it is improper for him to act as counsel in any case on the criminal side of the Court, because he might become Gover? nor, and his clients might be convicted and apply for executive clemency, there? by putting him in an awkward position. The Edgefield Chronicle replied to this position of the News and Courier and among other things said: <(And it might also object to any prominent lawyer going into the criminal Court to practice, as it is 'within the range of hu? man events' that any man in the State may become Governor. The position of the News and Courier on this point is so ?clearly untenable th'it we are inclined to believe that the astute editor was absent that day, and that the office boy was run? ning the paper." To this the News and Courier replies: The Chronicle apprehends us correctly in one respect. We think that the Lieu tenant-Governor, during bis term of office, should not act as counsel in any criminal case whatsoever in this State. The reason for it is that, under the Con? stitution of South Carolina, the duties of the office of Governor devolve upon the Lieutenant-Governor "in case of the re? moval of the Governor from his office, or his death, resignation, removal from the State, or inability to discbarge the powers and duties of said office." There is always a possibility, therefore, that the Lieutenant-Governor?not "any man in the State"?may become Governor, is Lieutenant-Governor Simpson became Governor by reason of the inability of Governor Hampton. Moreover, the res? ignation of a Governor is not impossible, as Mr. Sheppard knows. It is quite possible, as we have shown, that Lieutenant Governor Sheppard shall become Governor before the general election next year. It is the right of every one who is convicted of an offense to make application to the Governor for pardon or commutation of sentence. In what position would Lieutenant Gover? nor Sheppard find himself, if a person whose counsel he was whi.'e Lieutenant Governor should apply to him for pardon when be became Governor? Whether he denied or granud the application, his motives would be equally open to mis construction. The pardoning power cannot be delegated to a third person. When a lawyer becomes a Judge, and a .case in which be has been engaged comes before him, he will decline to hear it, and some other Judge will take bid place. But the Governor of the Statj cannot so escape responsibility. It is demanded of the Lieutenant-Governor, therefore, that he shall so deport himself that he will not be embarrassed if he shall become Governor, and so that every person shall be assured of receiving justice with mercy at his hands. This matter is so important that it would not be out of the way for the State Convention to notify all candidates for nomination for the office of Lieutenant Governor that they are expected to keep out of the Criminal Courts, as lawyers, should they become the constitutional successors of the Governor. They who are not willing to assent to this, for the sake of maintaining the dignity of the office and of keeping it beyond reproach, are not likely to be nominated by a Dem? ocratic Convention. We say further that, while the objections are not of the same class, we think it unwise and ill judged for Senator Butler to take part in the defence of the Edgefield prisoners, or of any other persons accused of vio? lating the criminal laws of the State. It is almost impossible for jurors to avoid being influenced by their knowledge and appreciation of Gen. Butler's position, and that influence and position should not be cast into the scale either in favor of a criminal or against him. The position of the News and Courier appears to us entirely untenable. Two remote contingencies must concur before the Lieutenant-Governor would have any embarrassment. In the first place, the Lieutenant-Governor is not likely to become Governor, and in the second place, there is not much probability that an application for pardon would be made to him in a case in which he was of counsel, because unless it were a clear case of guilt the litigation by appeal would be more than likely to carry a case beyond his term. If it did not, and an application should be made to him for pardon, endorsed favorably by the Judge and Solicitor, then the Lieu ten? ant-Governor could delay action upon the matter until his successor qualified, unless it be such a case as clearly deman? ded immediate relief. The reasons urged against the Lieutenant-Governor prac? ticing in the Court of Sessions could, with equal force, be urged against any lawyer who has practiced in that Court ever being elected either Governor or Lieutenant-Governor, for there is scarcely a lawyer of.any practice in that Court who has not some client in the peniten? tiary, and such client may, at any time, present an application for pardon. That application might be made either upon the merits of the case, or on account of failing health, or on account of some meritorious conduct of the prisoner. If the News and Courier's argument is worth anything, it would exclude lawyers who practice in the criminal Courts from be? ing elected Governor or Lieuteuaut-Gov ernor. We thiuk the News and Courier is beginning its effort to protect the dig? nity of the office of Lieutenaut-Govor nor rather late. We fail to see any rea? son to establish this new rule. We be? lieve Judge Simpson and Gen. Kennedy both practiced in the Criminal Courts while they were Lieutenant-Governor, and as far as we have been able to learn, the presidents of the Senate before the war, who were successors to the Gover? norship where the Governor died, or be? came disqualified, never gave up their practice in the Court of Sessions where they were practicing in that Court before there election. We can see no reason why Mr. Sheppard should be prohibited from doing what his predecessors have done without question. There are a great many evils which are more potent in their effects upon the State than the combination of contingencies which our contemporary is seeking to guard against that we think more good could be accom? plished iu combatting. PROHIBITING MALARIA. The Temperance Worker, speaking of our recent term of Court says: In the General Presentment the Grand Jury made the following recommenda? tion : "We herewith present the petition, and recommend that such action be takun by the proper authorities to stop the rice farms, in that township and secure the health of the community." We do not present this matter with the intention of disapproving the recom? mendation. No. By all means let the nuisance be abated and the safety of the citizens of the sections named be secured. But, here is the point. Rice is a legiti? mate article of produce and merchandise. The fields producing it are private prop? erty. It is in every sense of the word a protected and wholesome industry. Bui when the means necessary to produce it engender malaria aad endanger health, it should be placed under the law of nuisances. What about the bar room nuisances of Anderson and Pendleton? Have not people complained about them as public nuisances, engendering the worst forms of moral malaria, affecting not the bodies alone, but the morals and very souls of men ? Have not large numbers of the best people of the place voted against them and now desire to do so again ? Has not the Legislature been appealed to for protection ? What has come of it all? A small class of the citizens of Anderson have paid a premium to con? tinue the moral malaria producing busi? ness, that they may reap a living and prostitute their customers. When will the people recognize the fact that all whiskey shops are the greatest factors in producing diseases which neither law, medicine, nor moral suasion can arrest? The Worker makes a good point in these remarks, which our readers will doubtless perceive. We can only say to our contemporary that we believe Ander? son County is fully as alive to the fearful moral malarial poison emanating from the whiskey shops as she is to the dan? gers of physical malaria. It is only a question of time, and a short time at that, we believe, until we will have Prohibition of the liquor traffic in An? derson County. ? An experiment which should be highly interesting to the public at large took place in the Thames at Westminis? ter on Saturday. Several persona, in? cluding a lady, a clergyman, and military and naval officers, all clad in the gar? ments of their every day life, embarked in a'small boat, aud on arriving in mid? stream proceeded to jump into the water. When there they appeared to be perfect? ly at their ease, and making no move? ment, rested calmly, with their heads appearing above the surface. Their explanation of the phenomenon was that the clothes woru by these mermaids were made of a fabric in which fine threads of cork are interwoven with other material. Timid sea travellers can now equip them selves in garments which, while being UDdistinguisbable from those of ordinary mortals, will make death by drowning an impossibility.?Pall Mall Gazelle. ? The Laurens correspondent of the News and Courier says : "We have rath? er a curious case for the medical men. Dr. Thomas Wier, of Reynosa, has a little son who is particularly unfortunate in experiencing the breaking of his bones, which seem to be hard and brittle and to never bend. The little fellow is about three and a half years old, and has had his arms broken five limes, his legs six times, his clavicle two times. He has fine health and good digestion, is full of life and sprightly, His fractures unite readily._ ? A German statistician i rids that I there are 1,000,000 blind persons in the ? world. Sensation in Georgia* Macojt, October 17.?A ?peoial to the Macon Telegraph from Sandcrsvilie says there was an earthquake shock there this evening at 5.20 o'clock, lasting about ten seconds.

A Walking Skeleton. Mr. E. springer, ofMechanicsburg, Pa., writes : "I was afflicted with lung and lever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking Skeleton. Got a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Con? sumption, which did me so much good that 1 bought a dollar bottle.
