E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, NOV. 11, 1886. ONKYEAi_?1.50. six months.- 7So. The Independents in Berkeley and Chesterfield Counties, in South Carolina, were beaten, as they ought to have been. The climate of this State is not congenial to independentism. Rev. Ellison Capers, of Greenville, has declined to accept the Bishopric of Eastern Maryland which was tendered him recently. This was one of the high? est honors in his Church, and in declin? ing it Mr. Capers has endeared himself doubly to his congregation and friends in South Carolina. - The ladies of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union are again moving to secure au election in the City of Ander? son on the question of license or no license. "The indications are that the advocates of temperance will have a safe majority in this election. Our people have had enough of bar-rooms in Ander : on._ The Republicans are jubilant over the result of the late elections. They have reduced the Democratic majority in Con : gross from forty-five to twelve. They would have been in the majority-in the next House of Representatives if the Democrats had not gnioed in Republican 1:'States'. This i<* what Democratic apathy can do for the party. The Augusta Cotton Mills strike has endo i, and all of the mills are running again on full time. The mills and the operatives have both lost heavily by the strike, and it is not probable that the troubles will occur again soon. Both sides have been taking lessons in the school <>? experience, and people do not like to attend this school often.* The Democrats lo-e six Congressmen from Virginia, and in tho ,ote in the State t' e Republicans bad J5,0o0 majori . ty. It is not often that a party is as short? sighted as the Virginia Democracy has been in retiring their great leader and statesman, the Hon. John S. Barbour. He brought victory to them, and when the helm was banded over to another, defeat follows. One of the. most cheering results of the late election was the defeat of Robert Smalls in the Black District, and the election of Gen. Elliott by from 500 to 1,000 majority.. Smalls has made himself very unpopular with the negroes by his upish manners toward* them, and they got evrn with him by voting against him, The result is that the Democrats gain a Congressman. i Ne w be r ry Connty is agitating the prohi? bition question by circulating petitions to have a prohibitory act passed for the Connty. Our friends had better base their movement on a popular, vote though a petition signed by enough of the voters to constitute a majority would be equally as definite in showing the wishes of the people. Prohibition is steadily gaining ground in this State. The Legislature of North Carolinais probably controlled by the independents. This grows largely out of the dissatisfac? tion with the civil service policy which keep Republicans in office under a Democratic administration. We hope the final returns in the old North State will briDg the Democratic party oat all right but it has had a jostling that will not soon be forgotten. Unless the Democrats have a majority, Senator Ransom will be defeated for re-election to the Senate. , The Legislature meets on Tuesday, after the fourth Monday in this month, which comes this year on the earliest day possible, the 23rd day of the month. The comments of the papers on the ma* terial composing the new Legislature are of an unfavorable tenor, growing out of the fact that the farmers have captured a large number of seats in both branches of the Assembly.- We think this guar? antees conservatism instead of danger, and hope to see the body accomplish all that legislation can do to help our peo pie. ( When Mr. Raoul's proposition for a new charter for the Port Royal and Carolina Western Railroad comes before the Legislature, our Representatives should; if possible, put in a section which will prohibit the consolidation, lease or combined management of the roads composing the new line with any competing line, or in fact with any other line, without an enabling Act from the Legislature. It is time to stop the con? solidation of railroads?built by the people?with roads hostile to the objects for which the new roads were built. The rumors that a majority -of the stock of the .Georgia Central Railroad has been purchased by parties under the control of the Richmond & Danville syndicate has produced a profound sensa? tion in railroad circles. The truth of the rumors cannot be ascertained, but there is no doubt that the Richmond & Dan* ville people are trying to capture their strong and formidable ally. If they succeed, it will be very bad for Anderson, who has put $63,500 into the Savannah Valley Railroad for the purpose of se? curing competition. We hope the Cen? tral will remain under the present man? agement._ One Fool not yet Dead* Niagara Falls, N. Y., November 7.?Lawrence Donovan, of New York, who sometime ago jumped from Brook? lyn Bridge into East River, jumped from the new suspension bridge here at five minutes before 7 o'clock this morning. He went straight down a distance of 190 feet and came up out of the water somewhat dazed but still able to strike out for his boat. He was taken in and stimulants were given him, and although one of his ribs is broken and his hip is bruised, it is thought that he is not dangerously injured. The jump was witnessed by only four or five persons. A New York Sensation. New York, November 7.?Arthur Orton, whose claim to the Tichborne estate in England gained him notoriety, was arrested on Saturday night at his boarding house in Brooklyn, upon the complaint of the pension department at Washington. Orton is charged with having personated one Charles Curtis, who is alleged to have served in the 106th New York Volunteers, and with endeav? oring to draw the presumable pension of the alleged Curtis. Orton is locked up ^n , Raymond street jail in default of $2,500 bail. Ho will be heard on *!HJR WASHINGTON IETTEK. Washington, D. C, Nov. 6, 1886. Tho city has been in a fever of excite* ment ever since Wednesday, and no signs of it abating are yet seen. Republicans as well as Democrats have been nnnerved for any work, and in the Departments the nervousness is as marked in the Re? publicans as in the Democrat*. The for? mer, however, make a strong effort to suppress any manifestation of concern, but the conflicting emotions are too strong for concealment They are battling be? tween the desire to see their party suc? ceed, and the desire to hold office under the present administration. The Demo? crat, on the other hand, are a little ap? prehensive*' of the future, and naturally show much concern, although they ex? press confidence in the strength of their party to carry the next Presidential elec? tion. The Republicans in office, when asked for their opinion as to the cause of the result, attribute it to the tariff ques. tion, while the Democrats say it is due to the policy of the Administration in not giving the offices to members of its own party. Whatever may be the opinions or preferences of the employees, one thing is evident, and that is that the clerks are all very much agitated over the result, and will not be able to do a full day's work for some little time to come. , The President will be so much occu? pied from now till Congress meets iu dis? cussing with his cabinet officers the various subjects to bo treated in their reports, that he has found it necessary to issue an order declining to see visitors except on two days in the week. When he returns from Boston in the early part I of the week, he will settle down to hard work a*nd take do more pleafure trips until probably next summer after the adjournment of Congress. The French visitors to the Bartholdi statue ceremonies spent the latter part of last week in Washington, and received ft great deal of attention from officials and also from prominent citizens. They were accorded a special reception by the President,'and afterward* vinited all the Department and met thr- Cabinet officer presiding over each. Several of the dis? tinguished guext* ard men of scientific note, and they took a deep interest in the advance in the art* as djsclospd by the rrodels and illustrative sketches in the Patent Office. They asked particu? larly to be shown the first sewing machine and Robert Fulton'* models of steam boats, and studied them with much interest. Prince Louis Napoleon was also here with his private secretary, Chevalier Michela, in the early part of the week. Count Albert de Foresto, Secretary of the Italian legation, welcomed the dis? tinguished visitony and formed their escort while here. The Prince had a private interview of fifteen minutes with the President and was received as a dis? tinguished visitor, not as an official, Sec? retary Bayard introducing the visitors. We are also having distinguished Japanese visitors with u? this week. The uncle of the Mikado is here with his suite, among whom are the Prince and Princess Eomatsa, the Grand Chamber? lain of the court of the Prince, and the Commissary of Ordnance, Count Bodja. There are with them several wealthy merchants of Japan, and all of them are being shown much attention, not only by our officials, but also by the Diplomatic Corps. The bright and charming weather of the p&9t week seemed to have attracted a larger number of brides than usual to the city. One day during the week there were not less than 10 bridal couples at one time in the spacious marble balls of the Patent Office building. These couples always make it a point to visit the White House, and to select an oppor? tunity when they can see the President. They expect at the same time to see Mrs. Cleveland, but they are frequently disappointed in that pleasure. Mrs. Cleveland holds no weekly receptions now and will not for some time to come. _ H. Mr. Carlisles Election, Alter it was ascertained that Speaker Carlisle was re-elected to Congress by 768 majority, be was visited by a repre? sent: fcive of the Associated Press, who askec him what in his opinion was the cause of the comparatively small majority received by him at the recent election. He said : "If the vote against me last Tuesday had been larger than the vote against me heretofore, some significance might be attached to it. Such, however, is not the fact.. Two years ago my opponent received 9,325 voteB, or nearly, if not quite, twice as many as were cast against me on Tuesday, ana yet two years ago my majority was nearly 6,000. If it had been generally supposed that the opposi? tion So me really amounted to anything, I tbink my majority at this election wouM have been 6,000 or 7,000. Outside of tho cities and towns adjacent to them it was scarcely known that I bad an op* ponent, and even in the cities and towns my friends attached very little impor? tance to the opposition; They were thrown off their guard by the fact that several times heretofore candidates had announced themselves in opposition and had received a very small vote. They supposed it wonld be the same way this time, and, therefore, gave scarcely any attention to the election." Being asked if his views on the tariff affected the vote to any extent Mr. Car? lisle replied: "The tariff question had no more in? fluence upon the vote this time than it has had at any previous election in this district There are always a few men who vote against me on account of my advocacy of revenue reform, and I pre? sume they did so at the recent election, but I have no reason to believe that the number was greater than usual. This Congressional district is overwhelmingly in favor of a revision of the tariff and a reduction of taxation, and no man who openly takes opposite ground could be elected on any ticket. Of course a sys temauc attempt will be made to show that the losses sustained by the Demo? cratic party at the recent elections are due to its position on the tariff question, but careful examination of the returns will prove that there is no foundation for such a conclusion. The losses are by no means confined to States or districts whoso representatives voted to consider the tariff bill at the last session of Con* gress, and there is nothing in the result to discourage the advocates of revision and reduction. Many causes contributed to the defeat of our candidates in differ? ent localities. Some of these causes were local and some general. It is too early to attempt to enumerate them, but I think it is safe to say that local causes have contributed far more to produce the result than general ones. At any rate there is no just cause for alarm or despon? dency: The Democratic party has sur? vived many defeats which would have boen fatal to any other political organi? zation, and this little repulse will only stimulate it to greater exertions in the future. We need not surrender any principle or abandon any policy hereto? fore announced, but we must prepare to meet our opponents openly and manfully on every issue that divides the two par? ties. ? An electric apparatus is to be used to guard the body of Mrs. A. T. Stew? art The A., G, nod W. Railroad. Ninety-Six, November 6.?The stockholders of the Augusta, Greenville and Western Bailroad met here on the 4th, and continued in session for two days. The most important business before the body was the offer of Susong & Co., of Tennessee, to buy or take an interest in the read. The report of the officers showed an indebtedness on the road from Augusta to Saluda of some $26,000 more than they have the means to pay. The road from Saluda to Greenville has bonds untouched enough to do that grading. This was about the condition of things the stockholders found. As is known by all, this was to be a narrow gauge road, and in all the grading that has been done, some seventy five to eighty miles, up to the present, the fills and cuts were made only with a view to a narrow gauge. As to the proposition of Susong & Co., of which the people have heard so much, and concerning which no one could tell ?for it had never been submitted until yesterday?some said that they were employod by the Clydes to buy the road for them, others that they were not responsible men. A thousand and one rumors were afloat in regard to these men and their intentions. So when the Convention met, a large part of it was so prejudiced against the company that no offer they could make would meet with favor. Mr. W. 0. Benet drew up the propo? sition for Susong & Co., and read it to the Convention. It was this: They propose first to pay all of the liabilites of the company south of the Saluda; then take the assets and the road north of the Saluda and grade the road to Piedmont, via the Pelzer factory, they to pay all deficiency the assets lack, of doing the work; to change at once the work or the time to suit standard gauge roads; to complete all the grading in one year, and to iron and equip the whole line in two years from the 1st of January, 1887. In addition to all this they offered to give bond in ?60,000 that the read would not pass into the bands of any other company for five years after its comple? tion and for carrying out their contract in good faith. The contract further stated that if they failed to comply with any part of it, all they had done was to be forfeited to the stockholders. All they required on the part of the stockholders was to issue to them the stock of the company, to the amount of $150,000, which would be a controlling interest. This stock they did not want now, however, but provided that it should be placed in the bank in Greenville, in trust, until they complied in every respect with their contract, and that the stock was not to be turned over to them until they ran a train through. They also agreed that the stockholders should hold stock to the amount of $125,000 in common with them. The stockholders were to elect their own president and board of directors, and to manage h11 affairs till the completion of the road. When Mr. Susong saw that the Convention would take no action on his proposition until their next ?neeting, which will not be held for thirty days, he withdrew it. While there were a good many who thought Mr. Susong's propo? sition a most liberal one, and that it should be accepted, a majority seemed to be against it. I hope our new board of directors may be able to work us out of our trouble. Mr. J. B. Humbert, of Laurens County, who is our new presi? dent, is as good as the line affords, and he has good men as directors. A good many of our people are a little gloomy over the present prospects. Had Susong & Co. gotten possession of the read, they would nave passed it over to Knoxville, Tenn., as they all live in Tennessee. Alex. Stuart & Co. have given up their contract of grading the road from Cokesbury to the river, and the new board has Be'tled up with them in bonds at 75 cents on the dollar. W. E. Sullivan is still at work on the lower end of the line, near Augusta. Striking in Chicago. A Chicago dispatch of November 8th says: To-day marks the commencement of the greatest strike ever inaugurated in Packing Town. At 7.30 o'clock this morning there were nearly 12,000 less men at work than at the same time a week ago, and men that did report for duty were almost without exception those that have been imported by the beef packers to take the places of the 3,000 who struck last week. So far, the status of the strike is somewhat indefinite, the only things absolutely certain being that the men who were ordered out on Satur? day unanimously obeyed the orders and left their work just in the condition which it was when the committee appear? ed among them and read to them the instructions of the committee of the Butchers' Assembly of the Knights of Labor. At that time some men, notably those in Armour & Co.'s house, seemed to doubt the authority of the order and seemed disposed to refuse to obey it, and the appearance of several well known committemen allayed all doubts on the subject and left the doubters no alterna? tive but to obey or renounce their allegi? ance to the Knights of Labor. Many of the men seemed dissatisfied at being called out. Some openly expressed their sentiments on the subject, but the great majority accepted the situation and went home without a murmur. At 9 o'clock the First and Second Regiments marched from their armories to the Lake Shore station and from there were at once transported to the stock? yards. There has been no serious dis? turbance at the yards, but assaults on non-union men are growing more fre? quent. As the morning progressed the crowds surrounding the entrances to the yards increased, the strikers became more desperate, and the Deputy Sheriffs found greater difficulty in dispersing them. The Sheriff represented to the Gover? nor that there were 16,000 men on strike at the Chicago stockyards, and that he was utterly powerless to cope with so large a body of strikers with the force at his command. He considered it of the utmost importance that militia be ordered out at once, and made a demand on the Governor for assistance. The Governor issued an order for the assemblying of two regiments, and no blank cartridges will be used. Sheriff Hanchettand Sen? ator Campbell both declined to talk about the situation. The Assistant Adjutant General says Sheriff Hanchett informed Governor Oglesby that it would do no good to swear in special deputies in citi? zen clothes, as they had no effect as against the strikers. He was satisfied no other action but to order out militia would be effective, and asked for four regiment?, but the Governor thought he would start with two. The militia, numbering about 700 men, arrived at the stockyards without inci? dent. They left the cars at Forty-third street, marched through the yards and are now quartered at Ferguson's packing houses. The crowds cheered them faint? ly on their arrival, but yelled and jeered at the Pinkerton men on their rounds. The Chicago packers have declared war on all labor organizations, and this afternoon tbey signed a resolution declar? ing that hereafter none of them would Bmploy any man connected with any labor organization. The following is the reso? lution, which was signed by every packer at the stockyards: AVhereas, it is evident that many men are willing to work, but are preveuted by the action of labor organization*; and whereas, the packers are brought face to face with the fact that their men arc absolutely controlled by such organiza? tions ; therefore, be it Resolved, That we will no" employ any man who is a member of said labor or? ganizations. The following proclamation was issued this afternoon by Sheriff Hanchett: Chicago, November 8?Notice to the public.?On and after November 9th, and until further notice, entrance to Packing Town will be open for the admission of all men who desire to go to work, and for all persons who desire to do business with the packing houses or in the stock? yards. No other persons will be admit? ted. Ample protection will be furnished ill men who desire to go to work. Seth F. Hanchett, Sheriff. I Mule Thief Shot Dead. Greenville, November 5.?Early yesterday a mule was missing from the stables of Ignatius Few, in the^ upper section of this County. The thief had left a plain trail, and a pursuing party was soon organized, consisting of Igna? tius Few, James Suddotb, Jasper Suddeth and Joseph Ballew. The party set out in chase of the thief, and about 10 o'clock overtook a white man riding in the road and mounted on the stolen ani? mal. One of the party ordered the man to halt and give up the mule. He an? swered that he would "kill or be killed" before he would give it up, and with these words he made a motion as if to draw a pistol. At this moment James Suddeth raised a double-barrelled shotgun and 6red. The shot was true, and the man fell from the mule dead without speaking another word. Trial Justice John F. Gentry, acting coroner, held an inquest on the body, thejury returning a verdict charging James ?uddeth with the killing, and making the others accessories thereto. The man who was killed was an utter stranger in the country. He was about 6 feet 10 inches high, weight 140 pounds, and had a deformity in bis right hand, the wrist of which was drawn, as if by a burn. On his person, besides a loaded revolver, was-found a silver watch with the name W. C. Gregory scratched thereon, $22.50 in currency, and papers bearing the names of "Rob? bie Jones" and "R. J. Jones," with the address "Dallas, Gaston County, North Carolina." He was neatly dressed and seemed altogether more like a well to do farmer than a mule thief. After the verdict of the coroner's jury the two Suddeths, Ballew and Few were brought here and placed in jail to day. Mr. J. A. Mooney has been retained as counsel for the prisoners and application will at once be made for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Hudson. All the men are of respectable families and known as peaceable and industrious farmers. The general sentiment here endorses the kill* ing. The Fiftieth Congress. Washington, November 5.?The re? port from California that the Congress? ional delegation elected stands three Re? publicans and three Democrats takes that State out of the Republican strength in the next House in the event that the Presidential election should devolve upon it and makes it impossible now for either party to have the necessary ma? jority of twenty to decide the contest if there is no election by the people. The divided delegations, as far as known, are WeBt Virginia, California and New Hampshire. The Senate in the Fiftieth Congress, concediug Indiana and New Jersey to the Democrats and Nevada and California to the Republicans, will stand forty Republicans and thirty-six Democrats, a majority of four, which would insure the election of a Republi? can Vice-President if the choice should have to be made by tbat body, and who in tbat event would consequently become the President. The latest revision of the table does not materially change the total vote given in these dispatches printed to-day. The Democrats figure 166. The Republicans, including the Rhode Island vacancy and tho Seventh Ohio, which is still in doubt, claim 157, and the two Labor candidates from Wisconsin and Virginia may be divided between the two parties. The total would then be 167 Democrats and 158 Republicans?a bare majority of nine. In this estimate'Pennsylvania is credited with 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats, California with 3 Republicans and 3 Democrats and West Virginia with 2 Republicans and 2 Democrats, Colorado is still claimed for the Democrats, Michigan 6 Republicans and 5 Democrats, Iowa 9 Republicans and 2 Democrats. The probabilities are now in favor of an increase of the Democratic vote by the official count of the returns, but the actual Democratic majority in the next Congress will not exceed ten. What Harts. There is an outcry, here and there, not so vociferous since the elections, against Hon. George D. Tillman's statement that this Administration is responsible for hard times. We understand Mr. Tillman to mean by this that the President is.allied with the Northern or Wall street money power, in favor of the gold standard and currency contraction, and hostile to the free coinage of silver. Mr. Tillman and other economists refer the stringency of the markets, the low price of cotton, wheat, etc., to this Eastern legislation, which, under a Democratic Administra? tion, differs, in no way financially, from the policy pursued by Hugh McCulloch and John Sherman as Secretaries of the Treasury. Now, very pertinently, comes the Birmingham Age and complains tbat while money is abundant at the North, at low rates of interest, "it is very high to the favored borrowers in Alabama, while many of the people cannot get a dollar, not even if they offer to do a day's work for it. We venture to say that not exceeding one in one hundred, or as to tbat matter, one in five hundred of the laboring men in the region of the cotton plantations in Alabama can go out in the morning and find a month's work (n living cash wages. This fact is, of itself, a whole chapter of explanation of the financial distress of the country." The Age refers most of this stringency to a hide-bound State law tbat bars tho way to outside capital, although $90,000, 000 of taxable property is permitted to escape assessment. Our contemporary adds : "Our entire cotton crop goes out without bringing a dollar of money back. We get meat, flour, meal, corn*, hay and the like for it, and then mortgage our lands to meet the difference between sales of cotton and purchases of supplies to make cotton again. If the farmers would mortgage their lands and religiously devote the money raised to fencing it and stocking it, to save at home all money now sent out to buy grain, meat and mules, what a splendid profit cotton at eight cents would make on land making half a bale to the acre." Perhaps, if the South and West had a different financial policy at Washing? ton, money would be more abundant in those sections, and an awakening of borne industry without the necessity of mortgage. The Fiftieth Congress may be memo? rable for shifting the political centre and changing the Wall street idea to one more in the interest of the whole people. While the South is drained of her profits, the East reaps the benefit by controlling legislation, and, when parties are revolu? tionized, perpetuating under a Manning the system of a Sherman. If the money-changer of the Eaat is to control .everything, the people of Ala? bama and other Southern States may be long without the surplus dollar they are hunting for. ? Fifty-one colored persons started from one plantation in Barnwell County to Arkansas. They were frightened off by the earthquake. When the emigra? tion agent attempted to lock them in the cars a few deserted aud went back home. ?'Mr. Conkling expressed the opinion that the election indicated the falling to pieces of the Republican party under unwise management. He did not men? tion any names, but when a geutlemau present referred to Mr. Blaine Mr. Conk? ling smiled significantly. Notice to Debtors. ALL persons indebted to J. A.

IT is a significant fact that the poor devil who is tied up with a lien and mortgage, and knows he's got to do so, is always the first man to pay his account. It is a significant fact that people al? ways put off paying the poor Drug man until i;hey have paid everybody else, and then if they have anything left thpt they've no use for, they let him have it, and think they have done him a great favor. It is a fact most people lose sight of that the Drug man has got to pay his debts, live and keep out of the poor house if he can, just like other folks. It hi a fact that Hill Bros, have sold a great many people this year and lost on lime, who ought to have paid them long Bgo and who havn't. It in a fact that if this cap fits any of you,\ ou may as well keep it. It is a fact that only the hit dog "hollers" when you throw a rock into a crowd. It ?s a fact no one pretends to deny that if you want to sow Grass Seed of any kiind?Clover, Lucerne, Wheat, &c? you will do well to see us before buying your Seed and Blue Stone. It hi a fact that though we don't blow nor brag much*, we are generally up to the "scratch" on prices of Drugs, Patent Medicines, &c. Ask your neighbor. That Circulating Library, though a great many won't believe in it, is an ac? tual, significant fact, and contains works by some of the best writers of the day, which we will lend you with great pleas? ure if you will only come for them. Ask your neighbor. It in also a fact that it is none of your business how* we can afford to lend them for nothing. Come and see us?we'll do you good. HILL BROS. Nov 4,1886 14 l-2c. FOR_0OTTON.
