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

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

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enforced,' or promptly repealed.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

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,

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.

'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.

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.

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.

SOMETHING NEW
FOR THE LAUNDRY!
WHAT is it ? Well, they have adopt?
ed a new system of Washing, and
that is the "Pound System." 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,
