Fink en's record is a good one, and will doubtless make a good;mayor. rRotation is not a bad policy, and we be | ifeve that Charleston will not suffer by a It practical operation of this principle, [.however capable an officer Mayor Bryan ; may have been, it is now a favorable time for.the Charlestou people to get to? gether, cease their quarreling and look ar the growth and prosperity of their r, liko Anderson is doing, for Instance. ferne. Court of General Sessions is not i inaptly doiiominated a "jim crow" Court. The time of a learned Judge, an efficient Solicitor, Jurors that have to lay aside their.pressing personal duties, and the ?'?Court officials, is consumed largely in ;| determining whether some hapless negro . is guilty of oarrying a concealed razor or pistol, whether a "coon" did or did not strike, or at tempt to strike, another, or \\ whether somo certain "son of Ham" stole j! (Bill Arp wouldsay "borrow") ayearling, 'shoat, mess of "roasen''! ears, a pair of shoes, or some other trivial thing. Of courso some heinous offences came up for trial. " As a rule, however, we suppose \7f> per cent, of the cases tried are negroes joharged with some misdemeanor, which a sensible trial justice could dispose of ^|jjqst as effectually as the Conrt of General Sessions, anci with a great deal less ex? pense to the County. THE EAW TAKE ITS COURSE >me people and papers in tho State are i,:jraising the hue and cry of "wholesale ? 'butchery," and calling on the Governor l to commute to imprisonment in the Pen , itentiary the sentence of the ten negroes who were recently convicted in Laurens ? of murdering one of their own race and condemned to hang. . ? A petition has been presented the Gor ; ? ernor asking that, a negro recently con? victed of murdering a white girl near Columbia, and sentenced to be hanged, be imprisoned in the Penitentiary in? stead. A counter petition lias been presented in this last case praying the Governor to refrain from interference in the negro's behalf. . , South Carolina has a law on hor Statute . -Books embodying the Scriptural cOm - laand, "whoso sheddath man's blood, by i.;iaan Shall his blood be shed," and there ii not a better law iu existence. As an "abstract proposition, (he law should bo enforced,' or promptly repealed. We are ^cot one of those who favor the abolition of capital punishment, and therefore have no sympathy with those squeamish sen '? tlments entertained by some against hanging, or otherwise killing, murderers alter a due legal process. The fact that so large a number as ten men are to be hanged at once, and for the ' killing of one man, does not change our ideas of justice, or justice itself. It rather aggravates the case?ten killing one. ^"' . The-murderers in question wore tried I and convicted before im partial juries and judges, in whose breasts both the quality Vjiiid quantity of mercy, we presume, was a$i strong as in the breasts of those who clamor for interference by the Governor. Let the law as established by conscien? tious juries and righteous judget be en fo reed to the letter. Let those who seem ? outraged by such a course, imagine them 'selves, or some one dear to them, tho vic tiin of the murderer. That will test the sincerity of their appeals for "mercy, and perhape put a stop to their untimely petitions and addresses to the Chief Exec? utive. How do these 'howlers fcr "meroy" think lynch law can ever be effectually suppressed if murderers, who are too froquently acquitted in our Courts, can, after conviction, receive a commutation of their death sentence to imprisonment by presenting a petition to tho Governor ijji petition that always ftnds ready sign THB TAX ON FINE COTTON. The Charleston Kens and Corn ier says that at the next session of Congress Represen? tative Elliott, from South Carolina, will l oduce a bill to place tariff duty on im pcJr'fcwT cotton sufficient to cover tho in? creased labor cost in this country. He seen no reason why agricultural products should not receive whatever benefits ' corr.e from the tariff, or why imported ' -COttsn, amounting annually to several ^Eullion dollars in value, should not con? tribute its share towards tho expenses of Government. The imports of Egyptian cotton in 1890 rning to Iho Boston Journal of amonnted to 20,900,000 pounds. Jew Vw?r _Uy Goods Economist tea that $3,000,000 in gold or its ent was sent to the Egyptians for cotton daring the yuir. This cotton comes into direct and hurtful competition with tho fine cotton grown in South Car? olina and other Southern States. Wo aro utterly opposed to tho doctrine of Protec? tion, but so long as tho tobacco growers of Connecticut roceivo the benefit of a duty of S7.05 a pound on tho products of their fields, which tho farmers of tho South pay in part, it is only fair that tho growers of fine cotton in the South should receivo liko benefit from tho tariff laws. If Protection is a good thing for the to? bacco growers in Connecticut, Protection ought to be a good thing for the cotton growers in South Carolina. Representative Elliott desires, as far as possible to remove tho inequalities of the tariff system, and to inako the Southern planters sharo in equal degree tho benefits which the tobacco growers enjoy under ?he McKiuley Act. "We have sought in vain to obtain from our estcomed con? temporaries, the Philadelphia Press, Boston Journal of Commerce, and tho New York Dry Goods Economist, an expression of their views in regard to placing a heavy duty on imported fino cottons. The silence which they continue to preserve is almost painful, but it appears to bo a silence which cannot be broken. Tho New York Press, one of tho principal organs of the Protectionists, says very frankly "that ?whenever it is shown to be to the interest of tho American people that fino cotton should be protected, Republicans will be found voting for a duty on the imported and competing article." Wo havo no doubt that Representative Elliott, who has been investigating the subject, will be in a position to convince our contemporary of the Justice of taxing Egyptian cotton, and we shall expect tho Ilepnblicanjcontingent in the next House to vote for the Elliott Bill. The duty on Egyptian cotton, like tho duty ou Sumatra tobacco, should be made prohibitory. This will work a hardship, v/e know, upon the manufacturers of fine cotton goods in the Now England States, but it vf ill be truly Republican, and, of cour-'a, the Republican members of Con? gress will vote for it. A LOGICAL ABGUUPNT. "A Farmer," of Equality, S. C, who evidently reads the National Economist, scores n good point against Dr. Macune, editor of that paper, in this week's Advo? cate, and rasps him severely. Like all good Democrats, "A Farmer" keenly appreciates that the tariff question is the momentous subject before tho American people to-day, before 'which all others fade into comparative insignificance. How, than, can Dr. Macune be a good Allianceman and yet speak disparagingly of this, the strongest and most important plank in the Ocala platform, and seek to smother discussion of it by declaring "there is nothing in the tariff question," and terming it a "breeder of sectional strife?" What sensible man doeB not know that the tariff bill now in operation is the most iniquitous burden resting upon every tax-payer, except tho pro? tected Northern manufacturers? Who does not know that the abolition of this Republican enormity would afford great? er relief to tho farmers, and everybody, than the enforcement of any other of ihe Ocala demands? We quote the following from "A Farmer's" letter, and commend it to the unprejudiced consideration of every reader as a sound and logical argu ment: "Protection protects less than one million out of nineteen millions of our industrial'population and taxes all the nineteen millions; yet the National Econ? omist says: 'There is nothing in the tariff question,' that it is 'a breeder of section? al strife,' and that 'the agitation of this question is an effort on the part of .the Democratic party to galvanize an old ghost of sectional hatred.' In the last is? sue, October 20, its editor says the discus? sion of the tariff is a 'hoary conundrum,' and we find published in its columns such articles as these: 'The misleading tariff issue,' 'the tariff question is a hoax, all of which lead us to believe that Dr. Macune is either a protectionist or in fa? vor of a third party or both, and that ho is using his influence as editor of tho official organ of tho National Alliance to divert the minds of farmers from the tar? iff question, and commit them to class legislation, the very thing tho proteetivo batons of the East most want. Now, what right has Dr. Macune to say any? thing against any of the Ocala demands ? Is not a reduction of the tariff one of these demands? Certainly. Then, can we fol? low his leadership and ignore this de? mand, and still remain Democrats, when we know that this question is the leading issue with the Democratic party? We think not. We know not. Of all classes of our people the agricultural class should be more interested in tariff reform than any other. Why? Simply because the American farmer pays tho burden of tax levied for protection?that is for the pecu? niary benefit of tho American manufac? turer. It is a tax of which the farmer in particular gets no manner of good," etc. A Flea for the Fair. To the Editor of the News and Courier: The farmers in this section of our country are very much depressed in spirits, owing to the short crop and the low price of cotton, but I am glad that this is only local, for in other portions of the county there seems to be more life, as there has al? ready been two very creditable fairs in the county, and another is to come off this week. "This certainly indicates pros? perity, and shows that the people are turning their attention to other branches of ihe farm as well as the cotton. They are tired of "patting all their eggs into ono basket." I have always advocated diversified farming, and I hopo to live to see our pooplo raising all of their supplies at home. This will surely prove profita? ble if judiciously managed, They should grow more grain, potatoes, piudars, sor? ghum, and lost, but by no means least, more gross. I havo been ridiculed and abused near-, ly all of my life for advocating Bermuda grass, but our people are getting their eyes open to the great value of this grass, both for grazing and hay, and I hope to see it still growing in the estimation of our farmers, for I have no idea that it has an , equal on the face of tho earth. It is true when well set it is hard to eradicate, but why would you want to get clear of so good a friend; .it comes to stay and let it stay, but it can be conquered by care and energy. I am rejoiced to learn of tho fine pros? pects of our State Fair. That is to the Stale what the local fairs are to communi? ties. They bring the people together, to know each other and to discuss all the various things that go to make a farmer's life, and in this way our people are bene? fited and educated far more than the val? ue of tho small appropriation made by tho Legislature, which is the only way the State has given money for tho direct ben? efit of the farmers, and, strange to say, a Farmers' Legislature refused to continue what even a Radical Legislature did not deny them, and it looks stranger still to see tho Governor of the Stato giving tho cherished institutions tho cold shoulder, while he is usiutc his influence and tho property of the Stato to help build up what is (whether intended or not) a for? midable rival of our Fair. Even if every member of the Agriculturaland Median- j ical Society was a personal enemy of; Governor Tillman he ought, as tho Gov? ernor of a groat State, to be above doing such a thing, because opposition to this society is opposition to tho host interest of the State, for tho membership of this society are among the best men the Stale affords and during my long connection with the society I havo never known a member proscribed because of his poli? ties. Wo havo no politics in it, but all ol the work is done in tho Interest of tho people of tho State, and it is my actual dosiro that this Society may outlive all of | the prejudices of its enemies, and the best wishes of its friends, J. WAsmwi'oj? Watts. The- Ten Negroej Respited. Gbkknvilli:, S. C, October 23.?Ten of the negroes convicted of murderat the last term of cojrt at Laurons courthouse, and sentenced to bo hung to-day, havo had a respite until thoir case can bo heard bofore the Supromo Court. Monry Du ber, another negro implicated in tho murder and arrestod since tho others were tried and convicted, is uccused of being the real murderer, and tho con? demned men are said to bo only accesso? ries. He is in jail now, and it is very probable that he will also be convicted at the next term of court. ? Baby Ruth Cleveland is receiving numerous and costly presents from all pan of the country. i 'Possum-Comer New?, Well, Mr. Editor, it h:is been some time since you have beard from us, but we are still alive ami kicking, and you know it isn't long until spare-ribs, back-bones and sausages wiil be around and then, Ob. my ! what a time we'll have, and how fat wo will get. Come up and spend Christmas week with us, and we will go to see the girls, go bunting and have a big time gen? erally. I kuow tho girls will be glad to see us come, and I don't doubt but that they will pronounce us bonne cl helle, for I overheard one say the other day : "Isn't he good looking, though." She was speaking with reference to ruysolf, yuu know. Well, I believe everything is quiet, in this part of the world, und everybody seems to have plenty of work to do. Tur? nips and small grain is needing rain very badly, but cotton is faring very well with? out it. The cotton crop generally in this neighborhood is very short this season. There won't be as much cotton made as the people during the summer thought there would be, but is doesn't m"ke much difference, for we ought to quit Rowing so much of it any way, and it will take a few short crops to teach us that lesson and show us the financial ruin that at teud3 growing all cotton and eiving no atteution to grain crops. It seems that some of our furrners in planning for their next year's crop deceive themselves by making this kind of calculation: "If I plant an acre in cotton it will make say 900 pounds seed cotton, or 300 pounds of lint, which I can sell at Si cents per pound, making in nionoy $25.50. I can sell the seed. 18 bushels, for 15 cents per bushel, making ?2,70, or a total for the acre of $23 20. Now, if I plant that acre in corn it will make say 20 bushels, which I can sell at 75 cents per bushel, making a total for the acre of $15, say $18, to allow for fodder apd shucks. Now if I plant the acre In cotton I can buy the 20 bubbels of coin and have $10.20 left as profit, and so I'll plant eottou." And he does plant cot? ton, forgetting that It costs him about 8 cents per pound to grow aotton, which leaves him a profit of $1 50 with which to buy his 20 bushels of corn. And so many of his brother farmers made the same cal? culation he did that there is hardly any corn in the country, and when it is ship? ped here it costs about $1 per bushel, and so his acre of cotton instead of buying 20 bushels of corn and having $10.20 left as profit, buys him li busheia corn, and he goes in debt for the other 18} bushels. This calculation may seem to be a little exaggerated, but isn't it about tbe kiud you make, reader? I leave you to answer the question for yourself. Rev. L. T. Weldon, the efficient pastor of Corinth Church, was called last Satur? day for the ensuing year. Mr. Weldon has been pastor of this Church for tbe past ten years and has done a good work, and bis congregation is well pleased with him. Mrs. Lee Hicks, wife of Mr. J. E. Hicks, was buried in Corinth cemetery on Satur? day, 24th inst. Mrs. Hicks died in At? lanta, Ga., whore she and her husband were residing, and was brought to Corinth for interment. It hasen't been very long since one of her children preceded its mother to the Heavenly Kingdom, and now its mother has been called to follow. "It can't come to me, but I can go to it." Rev. L. T. Weldon conducted the funeral services. The little infaut daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan died on Saturday, 24th inst., from the effect of croup. Its remains were interred in Corinth cemetery oh Sunday afternoon. 'Possum hunters are having their own sport now. I hear tbe toot of their horn and their shouts to their dogs while I write.

Corn-shucklngB are the order of the day at present, and the bsst of it all is th'i farmers are making enough, and some of them more than enough, to do them. On our lost preaching day the Prospect congregation went into a call for a pastor, which resulted in the call of Rev. W. M. Plnson, Our Sunday Bohool has given over twen? ty dollars to the Baptist Orphanage. The Orphanage is a wo. tby object, and if the men of South Carolina who, according to their profession, are under obligation to give to this institution, instead of spend? ing their money for whiskey, would give it to the Orphanage, why, in one month's time it would have a princely endowment. We have known men who would refuse to contribute to tbie: same object that would go to town and drink up, and give away to drinking men, as much or more than the Orphanage asked tbem for. Well, if that is tbe way you are going to do, just keep out of the way of the children of your community and they will build the Orphanage. Mrs. Mamie Bolt is still in a critical con? dition, but it is thought she has made a change for the better. Our school will begin next Monday. Mr. .Luther Hall will he one of 'us next year. Mrs. Mary Harris, who tvas born and rearetTuear Goodgion's Factory, in Lau rens County, but who for a number of years lived in this County, died last Sun? day and was buried at Prospect on Mon? day following, the funeral sermon being preached by Rev. W. M. Pinson.. She was about eighty years old, and leaves one sis? ter and one brother. Cato. A Hint to Governor Tillman, Columbus. O., October 20.?At the Farmers' Alliance conventions in Ohio, and at tho People's Partj' Convention, the practice of public servants accepting rail? road passes was condemned, if not in the platforms, in general discussion at learnt, The poor man and tho wage worker when he travels is compelled to buy a ticknt for cash. He does not like to see his servant, whom ho helps.to a lit? tle brief authority, riding on a pass and waxing fat in parlor car and sleeper. It also occurs to him that an official who is entrusted with the makingand execution . of laws should bo chary about accepting j favors from enterprises over whiou he may exert a certain influence?statutory or executive. Of theso doctrines Governor Campbell and the Peoples' Party, the Farmers' Al? liance and the wage-workers agaiu stand together. Tho Governor during his entire official life, including six years in Con? gress and two years as Governor, has never accepted a railroad pass, an express company frank, a telegraph frauk, a sleeping car pass or anything free from auy company or corporation. As he uses all theso facilities for travel, transporta? tion and communication very much, lie would certainly have saved thousands of dollars in the last eight yoars by taking advantage of what was offered him us a compliment. Many of his warmest friends are rail? road managers and officials. Many of them were somewhat piqued after his inauguration as governor, that ho should decline what was offered in good faith and meroly as a courtesy, but he was firm in adhering to his established rule. There was one high official, in perhaps tho greatest railway system iu the country, however, who "said to an associate when tho Governor's pass was returned: "I al? ways entertained a high opinion of Gov? ernor Campbell, now.I think more of him than ever." Governor Campbell's prejudice against accepting favors of this kind is almost hobby. When a special or private car is placed at his disposal by some road, bo will go to the ticket office and purchase transportation just the same, even though it may not be called for by tho conduc? tor. ? ??--? ?! - ? ?

This is the fairest way of washing that has ever been offered to the people. The prices we offer to families in our "Pound System" anyone can afford to pay ; in fact, in our opinion, it is the thing we have been wanting. Here aro our prices : We will rough dry your clothes at 31c. per pound. We will wash and iron or finish all plain clothes at jc. per lb. We will finish all starched goods at 10c. per lb. The above prices are where we take family work through and thiough. These are the lowest prices that have eevr been offered by a Laundry. Try it and be convinced. Stop the wagon as it passes and give us your work, * R. A. MAYFIELD, Supt. and Treas.Anderson Steam Laundry W. W. HUMPHREYS, President. THAT STOLEN MORSE!
