E. B. MUttRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1886. TB RMS : \ one yeak._._.-S1.?0. months....75c. The-Farmer'? Convention in advocat? ing the calling of a Constitutional Con? vention for this State did a most wise and opportune act. The present Constitution jj^ea us a cumbrous and expensive form fern me-bt which cannot be remedied lendnieint, for such a mode of change tedious, uncertain and calculated to >roduce unnecessary divisions among our people. The organic law under which we live would suit very well for a densely populated State like Massachusetts or New York; but it provides a number of unnecessary offices, and is in other respects contrary to the genius of our people. We ought to have a Constitu? tional Convention. The announcement that Gen. Gordon will be a candidate for the Governorship of Georgia, is producing a widespread consternation in that and' surrounding States among the friends of other candi? dates, particularly among the friends of Maj. Bacon, who were confident of his nomination before Gordon's announce? ment. They are abusing Gordon most -~ roundly, and whistling loudly to keep their courage up as they go through the political woods to the Convention. It will, in our judgment, avail them nothing, for we are satisfied that Gordon will be the next Governor of Georgia. He has been too true and faithful to his State for his defeat to be accomplished by the abase which the friends of other candi? dates may try to heap upon him. Maj. Bacon is a standing candidate for the*| Governorship and has been so for the past six or eight years, if we remember correctly. His friends are in no position to abnse other men for becoming candi? dates. _ 1 , , The Farmers' Convention, in pur opin? ion, failed to discuss two of the .greatest impediments to agricultural prosperity in this country. One.of these is the uncer? tainty of the performance of agricultural contracts and the., inefficiency of labor. There are too many agricultural labor? ers who expect to draw a full day's pay for three-fourths of a day's work. There are also many of them who contract to work by the year, and stay during the rainy months of the winter, when work ;s scarce, and when the demand for labor is greater in the Spring, they leave for temporarily higher wages. _ Thi3 element of uncertainty in agricultu? ral contracts seriously affects the general prosperity of agriculture in onr State, and we hoped the farmers in council would discuss this trouble in a practical way, and if possible suggest some mode of remedying the evil. The other im? portant matter that was unacted upon is the matter of speculating in futures. Some measure looking to the union of j the producing interests in the United States against the speculating or gamb? ling in futures should be devised for the protection of the cotton and provision growers of the South and West. No business can prosper to its legitimate ex? tent where outside parties .fix the price of its products in advance of their prep? aration for market. The. dealing in futures ought to be stopped, and as the farmers are the men who suffer ixom it, they are. the ones who would be expected to move for its prohibition by proper &s,iTlaTionaI legislation. The Socialist riot in Chicago last week shows how completely the larger cities of Hi' ftM|fAn"fT are at the mercy of a few reckless and desperate outcasts who may at any time band themselves together for v. mischief. A mere handful, comparative? ly speaking, of socialists in Chicago with a single dynamite bomb injured sixty-three persons, forty of whom were policemen sect to disperse them. Had the whole party of two or three hundred been armed with these bomb3 they could have defied an army and destroyed the city. It is too late to meet these men ~ after they have committed overt acts of violence. The laws should severely punish those who organize such gather? ings as that in Chicago by writing or speaking, and such leaders should be held strictly responsible for all of the "Consequences of such gathering. The making and selling of explosives like dynamite should be regulated by strio _gent license-laws, with the heaviest of psnalties for violation. The secreting of these explosives should also be made a grave crime. The security of our society rests in prevention. We have no larje standing army, and cannot well afford to provide one in the United States. Our laws should give us protection by taking the evil in its inception, when it is easier to deal with, and when it will do , the least harm. The Chicago riot also shows the necessity for immigration laws. We cinnot afford to permit the anarchists of Europe to come with impunity to America under the impression that they can do as they please here. We want thrifty, honest immigrants from Europe, but we do not want, and ought not to permit, the scum of Europe to settle in America. They are disturbers of the peace and safety of society there, and will be the same here. The problems presented by the Chicago riot are the _most serious that our government has ever had to deal with, but they should be met promptly and sternly. The arrests of the leaders in Chicago was wise and wholesome. If they are promptly and severely punished by law, the example ""will be a valuable one for law and order. Free Trade Association. There will be a meeting of the Free Trade Association of South Carolina in ^Columbia on the 2d of June at 12 m. Not only the members of the association, but all who are interested in the reduction of the tariff, are requested to be present. Addresses will be delivered by Colonel Edward McCrady, Jr., Colonel W. R. - Davie, Colonel J. W. R. Pope, N. G. Gonzalez. E<q , B. 0. Duncan, Esq., and Colonel Henry A. Gaillard. The execu tive Committee will be happy to provide for a joint discussion on that occasion. Should any advocate of protection be willing to present hiB views, he is assured of a courteous reception and a careful hearing. Newspapers that desire to have our economic condition freely discussed are requested to extend this notice. B. Means Davis, Chairman Ex. Com. F. T. A. S. C. _Alfred Poole, a Denver purchaser of unclaimed express and freight consign? ments, recently bought three boxes, each About two feet square, solidly constructed and very heavy. The purchase was made at a ventura, but on opening the boxes each was found to contain a brick of solid gold worth about #?,D00. The price paid for the three ?as #40. OUK WASHINGTON LKTTKIt. Washington, D. C.,May 8th, 1886. A resolution has been introduced in Congress looking to a proper observance of Decoration Day, the 30th of May. The Grand Array Posts too are moving, and the noble dead are not forgotten by the lapse of time. The historic trees of Arlington?the former home of Lee, and now the great National Cemetery?are shooting forth their tender leaves of spring to" clothe the silent city of the dead in immortal green. Other ceme? teries in the vicinity of Washington are visited on the 30th of May by patriotic and grateful citizens, but the District turns out en masse to shower emblems of love on the graves of the uukuown dead at Arlington. No distinction is now made between the graves of the Confed? erate and the Union braves. The same hands strew the May flowers upou both, and all auiinosity is buried in the graves* A daily register is kept at this cemetery of all visitors, and a comparison shows .that nearly as many strangers visit it as go to Mount Vernon. Difficulty has already risen in obtain? ing the desired site for. the new library building. The commission has received offers from the owners of the property, and the amount asked is $803,000, which is $300,000 more than Congress appro? priated for the purchase. Justice Field, of the U. S. Supreme Court, wants 90, 000 for his house, which is largely in ex? cess of its market value. Other owners have likewise put on stiff prices. These gentlemen don't care to sell at any figure as their residences overlook the beautiful Capitol park, and will be made the most desirable sites in the city for dwellings if the libraray is put upon the square op? posite. By putting on such big prices it is hoped the commission will feel obliged to purchase the opposite square, which it appears can be bought for a few thousand dollars less. The Department of State has just re? ceived notice from the Australian Gov? ernment that an international exhibition will be opened at Adelaide, South Austra? lia, in June next. The managers of the exhibition are anxious that the manufac? turers of this country should be largely represented as a means of increasing the commerce between the two countries. The trade is already large and profitable. The Senate Committee has reported favorably the bill providing for a consti? tutional amendment, changing the date i of*Inauguration Day, and the beginning of Congressional sessions from the 4th of March to the 30th of April. Congress sees the neecessity of longer sessions in order to get. through with the public business, and hence the proposed changes. The Senators are disgusted with the increased number of bills presented for consideration this session. Over 3000 have been introduced in the Senate alone, and perhaps as many more have been re? fused introduction. The Senators are averse to having bills introduced in the Senate first, and will never introduce a bill of a private nature unless strong in? fluence is brought to bear. If the Sena? tor has no personal interest in the bills he is always careful to say that it is in? troduced "by request," which is printed on the bill. By that mark bis brother Senators know that he is (indifferent,'and the claim receives but little consideration. In talking with a Senator the other day he Baid that the time of Congress was taken up in considering private claims that could not be established in any court, and ought not to be consid? ered by Congress. If a man has a doubt ful claim he comes to Congress with it, hoping by personal influence to work it through. The Senator is in favor of considering no claim over which any court of the United States has jurisdic? tion. He thinks that no "favors" should be shown, and when a bill is referred to him he always resolves any doubt in favor of the Government. The fact that a bill has been consid? ered and reported favorably in the House has very little weight in the Senate. The Senators think that too many bills are introduced in the House to make it possible for the members to consider all of them carefully, and that even after a bill has passed the House the merits of it ought to be closely investigated by the Senate. It is done whenever possible, but in the last days of every session, then the action of the House has to be accepted as a sufficient warrant for pass? ing the bills. The inroduction of 8,000 bills in the House and 3,000 in the Senate, this session, has resulted in causing both branches of Congress to consider some feasible plan for referring all claims of a private character to the Court of Claims for settlement. Such a bill will doubtless pass before the close of this Congress. The House has bad one or two night sessions this week and seems disposed to get off all the business possible in the short time left. The members who are ?ear enough to their homes to reach there in a day or two's ride are getting excused for ten days or two weeks to go home to "fix up their fences." They all like to be here notwithstanding that they are worked so hard by their constituents. There are four members of the present House who could have a renomination if they would accept it, but they have posi? tively declined. The declination of four members to receive a renomination when they could get it, is a thing so rare that it is an item worth noticing. H. ? Ex-Postmaster General Frank Hat ton Baid to me to-day: "Blaine is a candidate in dead earnest again. His family is announced as having joined the Catholic Church. That always happens when Blaine wants anything real bad, It gives him a chance to come out and explain how he goes to the Congregation? al Church, how Walker is inclined to Methodism and how the rest of the fami ily mix up their religion. He uses a religious scoop net for votes. I presume it will come out pretty soon that Blaine is a Knight of Labor. As far as I am concerned I am for Logan. He is the most popular man in the country to-day." ?New York Di*patch to the Cincinnati Enquirer. ? The internal reveuue bureau is having a great deal of difficulty with moonshiners in the mountains of East Tennessee and Virginia, and large posses of deputies, under the command of United States marshals and deputy col? lectors, are now scouring the country suppressing illicit distilleries and arrest? ing those who conduct them. There have been several collisions between the moonshiners and the marshals' forces, and the number killed the last thirty days is Baid to have been twelve, most of them, however, moonshiners. ? The Methodist Church, in a recent report, claims to have in its Sunday schools in the United States an attend? ance of 2,004,500, officers and pupils. This is a Sunday-school army as vast as the standing armies of the five greatest powers on earth combined. The moral power exercised by this army can hardly be computed. And when to it are added the schools of other denominations, an idea may be had of the size of one branch of the work done by the Christian churches of the land. ? Brigham Young left over $1,000, 000, and his children are fast going through it. i-*-?? I STATIC NEWS. In some sections of Darlington County thousands of caterpillars have appeared and are shipping Hit forest* uf their loliug?. In sonic lucalilics (he trees have the ap? pearance of midwinter. It is feared they will ultimately turn their attention to the crops. The recent cool spell has been particu? larly had on cotton and has injured it con? siderably. The crop is being destroyed by cut worms, which arc so bad in some sejtions Unit it is feared the crop must b? replanted in places. Corn is also suffering by these mischievous pests, and the farmers are afraid they will do llioni serious harm. ?Florence Times, lith. The Stockholders of the Ncwberry Cot? ton mills held their annual meeting yester? day. The old board of directors and officers were ro-elected throughout. The report of the President was encouraging? showing that with the mill tilled with machinery, the enterprise would pay hand? somely. $40,000 was subscribed on the spot towards the $75,000 needed to fill the mill, giving it 10,000 spindles?it now has onby G.000 but plenty of room for 10,000. It is confidently expected that the addition? al ?nr 000 will be raised soon.?Ncwhcrry Observer. Capt. Matthews sent to town last week a snake killed on his place by a colored man that was a curiosity. The snake had two fully developed heads, one on each end, and could travel wither way with ease. We know that snakes are bad things to con? struct extraordinary stories on, but the above is a literal fact, and can be vouched for by a number of gentlemen who exam? ined the reptile. We never heard of such a thing before, and would like to see an explanation of it from some of our scien? tific men.?Orangcburg Times and Democrat. Mrs. Amelia Anderson, nee Smith, relic of Capt. Geo. Anderson, late of Waterloo, Laurens Co., S. C, died Jan. 24. 1S8G, in the home where she had given birth to and reared to manhood and womanhood sixteen children?twelve boys and four girls. She was a remarkable and model woman in many respects. First, in that she had raised to mature age and usefulness all these children. In the lat>: fraternal strife, nine of her boys were on the "tented field" at one time, and all lived through the war and returned home except one, who was killed in the battle of Sharpsburg. Eleven of the boys were still living at the time of their mother's death, though scattered in different States.?Southern Cliristian Advo? cate. On last Monday night a horse belonging to Mr. W. L. Gray perambulated in the neighborhood of Col. B. W. Ball's resi? dence, and on reaching the trestle across Reedy Fork, he concluded to try the ex? periment of walking the trestle by moon? light. Strange to say, the horse walked a distance of twenty-five feet, before he dis? covered that he had too' many feet to accomplish this feat successfully. The engineer on the construction train found him in a very uncomfortable position next morning, and .After considerable exertion he was landed on terra fmna, a wiser but not a belter horse; for he still sutlers from the injuries received, which will probably impair his usefulness for life.?Laurens Advertiser. Gordon for Governor. General John B. Gordon makes the following announcement to the people of Georgia: At Home, DeKalb County, Ga., May 8, 1886.?To the people of Georgia: After much reflection I have decided to become a candidate for nomination by the Democratic party of Georgia for the office of Governor. This decision has not been reached without sober thought and full consideration. For many months past personal and political friends have urged me to become a candidate. From every section of the State, and from all classes and former divisions in the party, these requests have come. I have hesi? tated and waited, because I desired to know whether the wish was general with the people. Of this I cannot longer en? tertain a doubt. The evidences which have reached me (particularly in the last few weeks) of the desire of the people, have profoundly stirred my heart and satisfied me of my duty. From distant portions of the State and from my im? mediate neighbors (some of whom have known, me in most iutimate associations from my boyhood up) these solicitations have come. This movement by the people so far as I am able to judge, is absolutely spontaneous. I have not written one letter upon the subject, ex? cept in answer to those which have reached me; and I have solicited the aid of no man nor conversed with any who have not introduced the subject. Now that I am a candidate, I trust that none of my fellow-eitizens of Georgia will misunderstand me. From the un? generous, unwarranted and utterly un? truthful criticisms which have heretofore been indulged in by certain parties in reference to myself, I seek no vindication at the hands of the people. If the life that I have led for more than half a century, before this people among whom I was born and reared, is not a sufficient answer to my enemies, who are enemies without cause or excuse, no reply from me would satisfy them. If, at any time of my life, if in private or public station, in peace or in war, I have ever deserved the confidence and esteem of this people, I deserve the same now as surely and as completely. I wish, however, to make known in this public manner, that I shall visit and speak to as many Counties as possible, and am ready on all occasions to confront these enemies before the people. Should the people prefer either of the other able and honorable gentlemen who are candidates for the office, I shall sup? port their choice most cheerfully. If, however, the people should honor me as their choice, I shall endeavor to servo them with an eye single to the best in? terests of Georgia. J. B. Gordon. ? A photgrapber tells the St. Louis Globe-Democrat that photography opens up a trackless undiscovered domain in the heavens. Some time ago a camera charged with highly sensitivized paper was directed at a clear spot in the skies, where the most powerful telescope de? tected nothing, To the surprise of the operator the negative showed several stars of magnitude. This was at first thought due to some spot or defect in the paper, but the experiment was tried again and again with the same result. Some mouths afterward stars appeared at the very poiuts indicated by the camera. The explanation is this: Ever since the velocity of light has been discovered it has been knowu that there were myraids of stars whose ray, travelling with incon? ceivable rapidity since the morning of creation, has not yet reached the earth. Every now and then one of these appears. The camera in the instance mentioned had caught the first glimpse of these new born planets. ? In the United States more tobacco ia raised and destroyed, iu proportion to the population, than in any other couu try; but we waste as much by our ex? travagance as we consume. Tt has been estimated that about one-tenth of the whole population of the United States is occupied in the cultivation and manufac? ture of tobacco. The amount of yearly production ranges from 2,000,000, pounds and upward. The States that grow the most are Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland North Carolina, Ohio and Connecticut. ?

AtTTeast a dozen men in Pennsylva? nia alone have committed suicide because of business depression, created by the unsettled condition of industrial affairs, and to the responsibility for the suffering in families by strikes it is uow suggested that the responsibility for these deaths must also be added. ? It is stated that many Congressmen are considering, in view of the present labor troubles, the propriety of passing some legislation restricting immigration. This course is advocated because of the fact that all the riots and bloodshed are caused by a lot of foreigu Anarchists and not by American born laboring men. What is needed is less demagogy on the part of Congressmen and other officials and a rigid execution of the law against all disturbers of the peace. A Walking Skeleton. Mr. E.
