Every line in a newspaper costs some?
thing If it is for the benefit of an indi?
vidual it should be paid for. If tbe grocer
sere asked to contribute groceries to one
abundantly able te pay for them he would
refuse. Tbe proprietor of a newspaper
mnst pay tor tbe free advertising if tbe
beneficiary does not, and yet it is one of
tbe hardest things to be learned by many
tbat a newspaper bas space in its columns
to reut and must rent to live. To give
away or rent for anything less than living
rates WiMild be as certainly fatal as for a
landlord to furnish a house rent free
Borstelle Johnson and Boss Worden,
are two colored rogues tbat will not prac?
tice their light fingtred tricks any more
for a month. They were convicted before
Mayor Tolly last week of slipping in
backyards and stealing clothing snd en?
tering front piazzas and doors and appro?
priating overcoats, cloaks and such arti
cles as they might find there, and the
Mayor taught tbe scamps a lesson by sen?
tencing them to pay a fine of $15 each or
work on the streets thirty days. As they
bad no money they are serving their sen?
tences. People may save themselvps
trouble from such thieving by keeping
their front doors locked from twilight, as
tbat is not too early for such pilferers to
be about. The police captured the above
mentioned rogues and it was very skil?
fully done.
Tbe Essley Democrat, of last week, says :

Christie II. Orr died at bis home in this

Another new year has come and the
?weather has been very cold so that I
could not do anything but sit in tho
house and read your most valuable
paper, tbe Intelligencer, and in read
ing it I iud that almost all of your cor?
respondents at tho commence ment of tbe
year gave good advice to our farmers.
They say plant less cotton and the price
will increase. This is true, and our
larraers should heed the advice, but
instead we hear some of them saying tbe
price of cotton has gone up and I am
going to try to make 20 or 25 bales of
cotton with ono mule. Dear friends, if
you would only study the matter care?
fully you would find that by planting
still less cotton tbe price next fall will bo
from 10 to 12J cents per pound, which
will be better than to plant so ranch and
get only 0 to 8 cts. per pound. If we only
could get our farmers to plaut plenty of
corn, raise 2 or 3 hogs apiece, and make
their molasses. Hour, etc., at home we
could then stop having to go to the rner
chanr^Jor credit. But as it is now, by the
first of January vve hear our poor fool
farmers say, "well all my money is gone,
and I am obliged to have some meat and
flour," and they will go to town to get
some. Then we see them step up to the
merchant with their hands in their
pockets and say to him : "I come to town
this morning to git a little meat and flour.
I haint got de money but I will give you
a mortgage on my cow and horse aud
everything I got if you will only let me
have things this year." The man goes
home and plants a very large cotton crop
and does not try to raise his own supplies
at home, and by and by paying time
comes and he hasn't got the money, and
so his cow, horse and everything- he's got
is taken away from him. Now, dear
farmer's let's say no more about it, but
take all the good advice we can get and
use true economy, and we will gain the
victory.
A great many of our old men say they
are not in favor of the Dispensary law.
There is one question I would Jike to
ask. What did the majority of our peo?
ple of this State vote for in the last elec?
tion? Was it for prohibition oi for no
prohibition ? It is our opinion that the
Dispensary law will bring on more law?
suits in our State than you havo ever read
of before.
On last Wednesday afternoon the snow
was falling very heavy and our school
teacher dismissed her school at about 3
o'clock, and in about an hour afterwards
our school house was burned to the
ground. We regret this, as we had a
very large and flourishing school, num?
bering from about 75 to 80 scholars, with
two noble teachers. It is expected that a
new hooso will be put up in a few days.
Mr. A. C. Copeland has been suffering

Mr. J. J. Copeland will soon have his

Quiltings and sociables are the order of
the day now. There was a big sociable
at Mr. W. I. Mahaffey's a few nights ago,
at which friend G. says he lost his best
girl.
Two of our young men rode a mule
back recently to see tbeir girls, but when
they came into the house, the girls would
not pull off their bonnets to talk to them,
so tbey got on their mules and never
stopped until they got home. Try it
agaiu, boys.
Mr. Tom McMagriga is having his old

In aud around Piedmont.
Snow! Snow! nothing but snow. I
recon Tillman is the cause of it; be
seems to be at the head of all our other
ills, so I guess we will have to blame him
with tbe bad weather, too. With the
high taxes and Dispensary law and the
Railroad law and the Phosphate commis?
sion and all the other unnecessary laws
put in effect by the "reform" movement,
I don't see how a poor "down?
trodden" farmer is to live, but not
depending too much on Mr. Tillman,
as some farmers did. I "took time by the
forelock" and made plenty of meat and
bread to do me. So that 12} cents bacon
will not affect me; only it makes the
good home-made shoulder taste a little
better these cold days. I think if every
farmer would make his own meat and
bread at home ho would not have so
much to complain'of about the laws of
his country, As to Mr. Evans' Dispen?
sary law, it will not affect me, for J. don't
need any liquor no way, but I don't like
to be made a party to a business that I
would not follow for any amount of
money?that is to sell liquor, and that is
what every citizen of this State, inoluding
the Governor, will bo doing when the
now law goes into effect, if not directly
be will be indirectly. It will all come
right after awhile?I reckon it will?I
hope it will. I am afraid that this "re?
form" movement will be an expensive
experitnent to the people of this State.
Iff was gqing to get' some one to attend
to thy business I would seleot a compe?
tent man?one who bad been successful
in his own affairs and not one that bad
failed in everything he ever undertook,
but onr State has not been so particular
in all of her selections in men of trust. I
nee Mr, Irby still persists In calling the
Conservative wing of the Democracy qf
this State ''Jlaskellites," Well, if that is
any consolation to them let them apply
it, for I tqjnk Kaskell a better and truer
Democrat than he or any of his "ring."
So let u3 all try and be contented for
awhilo, for we have only got to win over
about ten thousand of tbe Tillmanites to
be in the majority and then we can go to
work and build up />ur old State like the
grand old hero, " V/ado Hampton, did
after tbe Radicals had almost ruined it,
and I can't see that wo are in muoh bettor
condition now than we were when the
carpet baggers wore in charge.
Well, when this snow gets off I think I

it. We know from experience thatSbiloh's

This explains why more than a million
bottles were sold the past year. It relieves
croup and whooping cough at once. Moth?
ers, do not be without it, For lame back,
side or chest use Sbiloh'? Porous Plaster.
