Up to the hour of pattiog the JLntel ..ligexcer to press, (2 o'clock p. m., V Wednesday,) the-news from the various ; portions of the State indicate the election ^5; of the regular Democratic ticket, by at least 80,000 majority. .'The negroes manifested very little in L terest in the election throughout the ?; State, and the vote is perhaps the lightest ever polled in the State, a The Democrats have carried air of the Congressional'Districts,except, perhaps, i \ - the Seventh, or "black District, by good ^ i"majorities. No disturbance is reported, and Jhe " ?<?'.- election seems to have been the. most orderly we have ever had. In Anderson the day was more like a ? Sunday. Early in the morning a good many negroes came into the city, but the ^ majority of them remained away from the polls, not more than eighty of them voting. At this precinct Till man* re |i^!i:ceivcd 371 votesi and Haskell 118; ?v h '?- Johnsbone 406; and Tolber t84. The vote in the County is the lightest we have ever polled. The total vote cast was 2280, of which Haskell received 202, leaving Tillman a majority of 2,078. Johnstons'a majority will be about the' . same as Tillman'a. / : A jury at Syracuse, N. Y., a few days ^? ?' Bgo found a verdict for the defendant, but the foreman blunderingly announced, a verdict for the plaintiff, and the court :' recorded the same and gave judgment ? i . acwrdingly. When the mistake was ? discovered after the jury's' discharge the i : judge said he could not change the rer cord. The case furnishes a riddle for the lawyers.. . The Manufacturer's Record says for two years or more considerable publicity has . been given to and no little interest ex : cited by the discovery of red cotton and -.;'the efforts to perpetuate its growth. According to the latest report the several attempts' have been successful in the main. A planter in Alphareit a, Ga., has an acre of cotton, every stalk of which is |?ff-said to be of a deep red color, leaf, boll and bloom. This novel crop is the product of Beed derived three years ago from two stalks of red cotton found in a ; cotton field. If this variety can be per? petuated it will likely mean a fortune to the successful planter. .. :'? The wonderful industrial progress of . the South continues. One hundred and ? .eight cotton and woolen mills were estab . . c Jished within her limits during the last % .-.six1 months, Georgia leading with 23. p i North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Texas follow with 18 each. Besides these there were established in the Southern States during the six months 97 flour and grist mills, 95 founderies and machine shops and 45 water works. Nu? merous other improvements also were made. The cotton crop is a 'success and -: .will yield the South at least $400,000,000. The outlook for a prosperous fall and winter season is, therefore, good. , -._- m r Li: The Texas Trade Journal says that a great many people want to know how large Texas is in area.. They look in quite a number of alleged statistical ab? stracts and never find the same figures in ?two'?f them. The official figures of Tex ..aaarea are'about 252,696 square miles? ? equal to about 8.9 per cent. of. the entire ?~- ? area of the United States and Territories. ..; . Texas is six times larger than New York, seven times as large as Ohio, and 100,000 square miles larger than all the Eastern and Middle States, including Delaware and Maryland. Compared with the countries of Europe she has 34,000 square miles more than the Austrian em pire, 62,000 more than the German em <y-"'\.pirei and nearly 70,000 square miles more than France. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Wor?Tsays in 1880, according v - to the United States census, the popula? tion of South Carolina was 995,577, of which. 391,105 were whites and ? 604,472, including - Indians, Chinese ".; and negroes,' were colored. The pop -:.ulation of South Carolina to-day is 1,147,161, consisting of512,369 white and 634,788 colored, including Indians, Chin? ese and negroes. In the last ten years,' on account of the continuous movement of colored colonists to Mississippi and Arkansas, the increase of the colored population has onlybeen 30,316, while v "the white population has in the same time been increased by an addition of ~~>121,264. For every 20,000 of increase in white population there has been but p v 5,000 increase in black population. - The workingmen and farmers of France j are teaching the world a lesson in thrift. These level-headed people do notbe lievej with some of our American refor? mers, that poverty can be abolished by ; legislation. What they believe is that every man can abolish it for himself by living on as little as possible and saving a small sum every week. Economy has become a national craze in France. Savings banks are found in every village, and even the poorest toiler is ashamed to say that he has no deposit to his credit. So general is the practice of patronizing ; the savings banks that they are flourish? ing everywhere. Thrift is rapidly driv? ing out pauperism, and if France remains at peace with the world for another gen? eration her people will be comfortable and independent. After all, this is -better than-looking to the lawmakers for | i relief. It makes men industrious, self-, reliant, and is a positive gain to civiliza? tion. It is not what a man makes, but . what he saves, that counts in the long run. . :{.<?? ? ? --'?? "?

"Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 30.?A ape cial^ from Athens, Ala., says last week during the absence of her busbauu a negro- made a brutal assault upon Mrs. Matthews at her home near that city. The lady seized her husband's revolver and fired two shots at the negro, who fled. Yesterday the attention of a party of hunters wa3 attracted by a congrega? tion of buzzards. It was found they had been attracted by the dead body of the negro and that both shots from Mrs. Matthews's pistol had taken effect, caus? ing death in a few hours. Dodgeville, Wis, October 29.?The family of Robert Paul at Middleton have been afflicted by diptheria, which was brought into the house in a singular manner. About four weeks ago a stray cat came to their home and one of the 1 children handled and played with it. Although it was noticed at the time that it discharged at the nose and mouth, nothing was thought of it until soon after, when the boy came down with black diptheria?one of the most malignant kind?tbat the doctor said he had caught from the cat. The boy died. Then the second took the disease and died. The father, mother and daughter were al? so stricken down and recovered. Albert, the only remaining son and support of his parents, cared for them all through their terrible sickness, holdiug one of the boys when dying and preparing them for their last resting place with his own hands. When the others were recovering he was taken down and died. Columbia, November 1.?At about 5:30 this afternoon the dead body of Miss ?Florence Hornsby, daughter of Mr. G. W Hornsby, was found near a spring about 200 yards from her father's house, in the Cane Creek neighborhood, about seven miles north of Columbia. Her throat was cnt from ear to ear, and there were also evidences that a nameless crime had been committed on her. The ghast? ly discovery was made by a negro boy who was on his way to a corn field near by. He reported that he saw a negro man running away from tbe scene of the murder, but that he was unable to identi? fy him. Mr. John S. Loomis, who lives in the neighborhood, came to Columbia ! at about 8 o'clock this evening, and re Sorted the murder to Sheriff Rowan, he coroner was notified, and will hold an ! inquest to-morrow. Reports from the neighborhood state that there were ob? served, near the place where the body was found, signs of a terrific struggle. A wooden paddle, such a3 used by country laundresses for beating clothes in the wash, was found near the body with blood stains, upon it. No clue to the identity of the murderer has yet been obtained. The family of Miss Hornsby are people of respectability, but of humble condi? tion. These particulars are all that can be gathered to-night from the meagre re? ports brought into Sheriff Rowan. Pittsbtjrg, October 81.?A Bpecial from Braddock, Pa., says tbat a horrible accident occurred there in the Edgar Thompson Steel Works last night, which was due to the careless bravado of the victim, a colored man named Robert Washington. He hails from Culpepper, Va., and has been working as a bricklay? er's laborer. It was noticed by Superin? tendent Pierce, of the Carnegie Electric -Light Company, that Washington hau often grasped the electric light wire, when the current wsj turned off, in order to show the men that he was not afraid. He was warned by Pierce that he would be caught, Pierce telling him several times that he was doing a very foolish thing. Last night at 10 o'clock Washington was seen to climb up several steps and reach out his hand toward tbe electric light lamp. Some one shouted a warning to him, but too late. His hand touched the wire, and in an instant his frame stiffened and he fell to the floor below dead. Not a muscle twitched, and his death must have been instantaneous. His right hand had touched the wire, and his left clinging to the iron rod bad completed the circuit. There was not a mark on the man except on the right hand, where a light scar was found where he had grasped the wire. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 26.?A desperate duel to tbe death was fought near Dan ielsville, Madison County, yesterday af? ternoon, iu which Wiliiam Sanders, a prominent planter, was killed, and Wil? liam Martin, his neighbor, was fatally wounded. For some time there has been bad blood between the men. Each bad appeared in court as witness against the other, and several times serious dffficul ties have taken place between them. The trouble culminated on Saturday. Martin lives a quarter of a mile from Sanders, and is a tenant on a plantation of Sanders' son's. Yesterday Sanders heard shooting in the direction of Mar? tin's house, and looking out saw his own hogs running. He at once concluded that Martin was shooting at them, Martin having been prosecuted upon a charge of that kind before. So Sanders took his gun and started to Martin's. When asked what he meant by shoot? ing at the hogs, Martin said he would shoot him (Sanders) too if he bothered him, and after a few more words the men began firing. Martin emptied his dou? ble-barreled gun and five-shooter at San? ders. Four shots took effect. Any one of them would have been fatal. Sanders shot at Martin five times, three from a pistol and two from a gun. Three of these took effect. Martin will die. Sander's son was within fifteen feet of him when he fell. The son had called to the men to stop. Sanders did stop, but Mar? tin kept on until his weapons were emp? tied. Buffalo, N. Y., November 1.?One of the most terrible murders ever known in the history of Erie County was committed at Akron, twenty-four miles east of this city last night. A young woman named Sarah McMullen, aged 19, formerly liv? ing in Buffalo, enticed Delia Brown, aged 6 years, and Nellie May Connors, aged 10, on to the Akron cement works' narrow gauge railroad bridge, a height of sixty five feet, over Murier Creek. All of a sudden she pushed Delia Brown over the side of the bridge, aud then grabbed Nellie May Connors and hurled her into the precipice below. Nellie was instantly killed, but fortunately little Delia Brown lives to tell the tale. Her arms and legs are broken, and although terribly bruis? ed, it is thought she will recover. Last night the citizers of Akron Beached for the missing girls and found them about 2 o'clock this morning;. For several hours little Delia had laid on the stones at the Bide of the creek unable to move. She said to Constable Burns tbat Sarah had hard work in pushing Nellie Connors over the bridge and came very near fall? ing over herself. After committing the act Sarah McMullen returned to Mrs. Brown's house and said to Mrs. Brown, "I am going away; perhaps you will not see me again." At the Bame time she extended her hand. Mrs. Brown thought she was fooling, when Sarah again spoke up, "well, if you won't shake hands with me, all right," and then Bhe went out. Her actions excited the curiosity of the family. S.irah started for the bridge over the mill dam at Akron, about ten feet high, and arriving at the place stepped between the iron braces and jumped into tbe water, which ia several feet deep. Simon Brown saw her and ran to the spot and rescued her from drowning. No reason is assigned for her terrible deed. It is believed to be a crazy act. She is in custody, but will not talk. Tom Woolfolk Hanged. Perby, Ga., Oct. 29.?Tom Woolfolk was hanged at 1:30 p. m. for the murder, August 6, 1887, of Captain Richard F. Woolfolk, Sr., his wife, Mattie Woolfolk, their children, Richard F.. Jr., aged 20, Susan Pearl, 17, Annie, 10, Rosebud, 7, Charlie, 5, Mattie, 18- months, and Mrs. Temple West, 84. All were killed by blows on the head with the butt of an axe, except in the case of the little boy, whose head was cleaven with the axe blade. Not a blow was struck except on the heads of the victims, and they were found in their night garments where struck down, and the blood and brains from the crushed skulls had run out until the room was a sea of gore. ? Four-fifths of tho engines now working iu the world have been con? structed during the last 25 yean. The State Alliance Exchange. The stockholders of the State Alliance Exchange met yesterday in Agricultural Hall and, after some discussion, decided to move the State Exchange from Green? ville to Columbia January 1st. It waB also concluded to establish a farmers' bank in this city. A committee was ap? pointed to memorialize the Legislature at its coming session to obtain.the use of Agricultural Hall for the bank. This move was taken as the result of a meeting of the County trustees of the shareholders of the State Alliance Ex? change held in this city^ Tuesday even? ing, twenty-three Counties being repre? sented. It was suggested tbat the ex? change be located at Greenville, Black ville, Charleston and Columbia, but tbe latter place was finally decided on yester? day. It was voted as the sense of the meeting that the stock of $50,000 sub? scribed to the State Exchange be used as the capital stock of an Alliance bank, and this bank, it is proposed, will do the business of the Alliances of the State. The arrangements for the bank will be perfected at a meeting to be held tbe second Tuesday in December.?Columbia Register, Oct. 30. ? A paper read at the recent meeting of the British Association described graphically the pauper population of England as being sufficient to form a procession of four persons abreast up? ward of 100 miles long. Arranged in Bingle file' the paupers of England would, according to these figuresfTorm a line upward of 400 miles long. ? Several attempts have been made to establish the tack industry in the South, but they have failed from difficulties in handling the material.. This branch of the iron trade is in the hands of New England manufacturers and is practi? cally confined to Massachusetts. More than two-thirds of the tack business is controlled by the State and fully three quarters by all of New England. ? Mr. B.C. Hardwick, the efficient town marshal of Graham's aud Miss Mamie Carroll were united in holy wedlock on the morning of the 21st by Bev. J. L. Huffman. It was rather a romantic affair. The young lady was about to be married to another, and pre? parations were being made for a grand wedding at her home. But it seems that she loved another most, and stole away from home with Mr. Hardwick before the dawn of day, and the two were made one at the parsonage. So the cheated lover and the folks at home had to eat cold cake for comfort at the appointed time, while the true-true lover and his charming bride are feasting on realities at their abode in Grahams.?ifawi?er^ Advertiser. ? Mrs. Jefferson Davis, after her visit to New York in connection with the publication of her life of her husband, will go to Mexico for the winter with her daughter._ Cotton Pickers Wanted. Memphis, Tenn., October 31.?The cotton crop of 1890 in the rich, alluvial lands surrounding Memphis will not be gathered until late in the season. The crop is heavier than for years past, and the labor supply is not. equal to the yield, In Georgia especially it is impossible to procure colored labor for the Mississippi bottoms, and it is as much as a man's life is worth to endeavor to entice labor? ers from either of the Carolinas. For the past five years the cotton crop of North and South Carolina baa been away below the average, and this state of affairs has also existed in many sections throughout Georgia. Consequently labor was plentiful, planters being more than willing to furnish cotton pickers for other States, A very different state of affairs exists this season. The crop is exceedingly heavy iu North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Railroad agents hereto? fore experienced no difficulty in gather? ing squads of laborers for tbe Mississippi bottoms, but this is now attended with no small degree of danger. Planters and merchants have carried the small plan? ters so long on their books that they now perceive a surety of payment for back debts. They will brook no interference from the outside with the labor at hand. In Georgia any attempt at enticing labor? ers to other States is punishable by a fine of $500 and imprisonment. Railroad passenger agents have had but little trouble in procuring cotton pickers here? tofore, owing to light crops. Their every move in this direction is now jealously regarded with disfavor. The crop is in sight and planters de Bire it picked at the earliest possible moment. In the bottom lands of Missis? sippi contiguous to Memphis it now looks aB if the crop will not be gathered until the heavy pickiDg iu the three States named has been attended to. Careful estimates place the crop at one hundred thousand bales over last season's yield in the Memphis district alone. Mr. Charles A. Jones, a railroad agent largely experienced in the business' of supplying tbe river Counties of Missis? sippi, Louisiana and Arkansas with hands from the older Southern States, describes some of the causes preventing negroes from emigrating this season to the river bottoms. The negro loves the right of suffrage on a par with his white brethren far more than any one thing else. The feeling among tbe blacks in Mississippi against the proposed enact? ments of the present Constitutional Con? vention is exceedingly bitter. They seem inclined to the belief that the white voters will tie their hands politically by the new Constitution. In many regions of the Carolinas and Georgia, denuded by the exodus of last year, cotton was gathered as low as thirty-five and forty cents per hundred. This year seventy five and eighty cents is being paid for the same labor. This will not materially advance the price, as the abundant yield will more than atone for this additional expense. Hundreds upon hundreds of laborers were procurable last year, It being an off year in politics every induce? ment possible is now being made to retain the vote of negroes in the com? munities iu which they at present reside, and politicians are making use of every known and plausible argument to ac? complish their purpose. The cotton crop and tbe business outlook never before looked brighter. With continued favorable weather there is not the slightest danger of cotton being materially damaged nor gathered off grade. Should rains Bet iu while'the crop is too far advanced to admit of seri? ous injury it might be considerably dam aged by rust and moldiness._ Executors' Sale.
