TERMS: ONE YEAR._$1 60 SIX MONTHS....._. 76 ?2S2591B58BS Mr. Maxwell, of the Postoffice Depart? ment, is a fine headsman. The way he is ng Republican heads into the basket making foorth-olass Democratic tmasters is refreshing?as refreshing e Democracy of the country as April wtas.are to vegetation. le President has set all his Cabinet listers at work weeding out useless employees in their several departments. Mr. Cleveland believes that there area number of people who are feeding at the government trough whoseservicesmight just as well be dispensed with, and he proposes to go in and deaden Borne tim? ber. -_ There is one way to have good roads in South Carolina,, and that is to do as New York has recently done. Governor flower's suggestion has bain carried out, id a law.is placed upon the statute books empowering counties to take charge of the highways and make them passable the year round at County ex? pense._.__ _ ': Here is a clincher from a Georgia ex? change : "During the war the women of the Soath made their meat and bread at home, while their husbands and sons were off in the army. Now the children of those same women say they cannot raise their own bread. Things might be improved if the women had a showing again." During the past week numerous copies 'the national organ of the Third Party $ bean distributed tiirough this'sec? tion by Congressman La timer. Nice work to be engagesd in by a man who ims to be a simon-pure Democrat. 'The paper contains a pic ture and eulogy of Mr. Latimar. In the eu logy the editor omitted one important enterprise the dis? tinguished (?) Congressman was at the \ head of, viz.: the Bel tor Oil Mill. > * The Darlington Herald truly remarks that a man may call himself a Democrat aod vote for the nominees of that party, bat if he is opposed to ihe principles of !? Democracy, then he is not a Democrat, and has no claim on its leaders. If he believes in the sub-treasury and govern? ment control of railroads, his proper place is with ths Third Party, and be should have the courage and candor to mS^pdi! by bis convictions and cast Lis fortune In with that party. " ? The peanut has become the emblem of trivality in such phrases as "peanut pol? itics," but in fact peanuts are far from trivial from a commercial poirt ofviaw. The man who is to have a monopoly of , selling peannts at the World's Fair has' paid $80,000 for the concession. He will . have to sell something like 5,000 bushels to co ver that expense, and then he can begin to make money. The crop of -American peanuts last year was 3,000,000 and more can be had from the west coast of Africa if they are needed. p ?' The English papers have been disc usa? tag the question whether it is lawful lor aman to kill a housebreaker. All sorts of authorities have been appealed, to, and a decision has been arrived at, based, it is said; on the opinions of the most eminent jurists of the country, that while it is lawful to xkill a burglar in the act of break ing into a house, one has no right to firs on a burglar who, having complet? ed his job, is making off with his booty. \) The ground given for this distinction is j \ that while the burglar is trying to effect y, an entrance, or is in the house, there is if good reason to apprehend that he intends I violence, whereas when he is making his j escape the reason for the apprehension of i). violence no longer exists. It is lawful lo j j take life only in defence of life, not of i| property. A strong movement is being made in ' Georgia to inaugurate a system of village : farming. The idea of the " village, farm" : ; is that all the residences of a number of contiguous farms, embracing a tract of j country say five miles square, should be i; grouped into a village, some where near IBpie center of the tract. Each residence II could have encingh ground about it for I: its .outhouses, barns, garden, etc., and I; yet they would be near enough together to avoid the desolate solitariness of farm J life. Tbo advantages of the arrangement ?Hp tha way of schools, storas, social amusements,, religious advantages, eta, ? sre too manifest to maka it necessary to ^. enumerate them. The adoption of the ?System in the rural districts of Georgia Haas been strongly advocated by Gover |: nor Northern and other prominent peo i pie. The extra session of the United States Senate was terminated on last Saturday, . the President having notified that body that he had no further communications to send to it. The most important work HBtf the extraordinary session was the con? firmation of nominations for office made by the President. With the exception of f- a marshal for Delaware, the Senate has not. refused to confirm the President's - nomination for any office. The nomina? tions have ranged from ambassadors ^with salaries of ?17,500 to postmasters ; with salaries'of one or two thousand dol? lars. That. is a- manifestation by the Senate of confidence in the President's choice of officers that is qratifying to him and the friends of the administration. The exception noted above was caused x by objection of one of be Senstors from that State, and the nomination may yet be confirmed. |;???..'Our neighbor, Greenville, seems tobe on the point of losing the Gates Desk Company, a prosperous and growing manufacturing establishment. The rea? son seems to be that Greenville is not large enough to accommodate the rapid % growth of the establishment. The com? pany has received encouragement from business men of Augusta to remove the establishment to that city. The Augusta ~~men told the proprietors of the company that, they would subscribe $50,000 for ? - stock or place $15,000 of bonds which the company wishes to float in ordor to en? large their plant, if representations oon ^ .earning the business were found to be true: Augusta hat sent a committee to Greenv?je to investigate the status of ihe establis hment. It seems that Green? ville could keep the concern if she would pnt up the money as proposed by Au? gusta. Spartanburg attempted to place the bonds but failed. Here is a chance for Anderson to secure a valuable addi . tion to her manufacturing interests that employs twenty or thirty skilled work? men. There ought to be no trouble to place here $15,000 of bonds of a concern as substantial as tbo Gates Desk Com? pany seems to be> The Board of Trade might secure the enterprise for Anderson by a prompt effort. If our business men j would decide to secure it they would make Augusta's chances mighty slim.' ? We hope the Board of Trade will Inves? tigate the matter. There is only one cjuestion of expediency to determine: Will it pay ? If the Board answers that question in the affirmative, let it be here er the Gates Desk Manufacturing Com y, Anderson, S, C, Informal ion from WaShi?gi?h says the President has had the tariff under se? rious advisement for some days, and it is known, but not generally, that he has had recent and frequent conferences with Car? lisle, Springer, Wilson, of West Virginia, McMillan and David" A. Wells. The present tariff assessments yield the gov? ernment nearly or quite $200,000,000 per annum, on an average ad valorem charge of about CO per cent The president is anxious to reduce this average to about 30 or 35 per cent, which would run the revenue down to abouq;?120,000,000. To meet the resultant deficit in the event the lists are sheared this way, two plans are j being considered. One is to levy an im 1 port tax on sugar and coffee, and the oth? er to collect an income tax. The execu? tive Is not unmindful that by fixing a tax on sugar and coffee he may offend the pubUo sentiment and so It is hinted that the proposition to collect an income tax is regarded with strong favor. During the extraordinary session of the Senate just adjourned the Republicans made persistent efforts to have the record of Senator Roach, of North Dakota, In? vestigated by a committee of Senators, with a view of keeping him from taking his seat It is alleged that some years ago Senator Roach was faithless to bis trust as a bank officer in Washington. The change may be based on facts, but since the gentleman has been a citizen of his adopted State his character has been good, and the Legislature of that State declared its faith in him by electing him to one of the highest offices In Its gift. Senator Roach is a Democrat, and it Is probable that bis politics is more ob? jectionable.to the Republicans than the errors of his youth. There are members on the Republican side of the chamber whose records are quite misty, if not ab? solutely black, but as their politics is not objectionable to "Granny" Hoar and bis hypocritical crowd who wish toset them? selves up as censors of Senator Roach, no question is raised by them as to their friends' records. The Democrats have bo far refused to allow the investigation, and properly. Each State must be allowed ! the right to choose its Senators. If the Senate should by indirection or otherwise rejector accept only such members as pleased them, or policy dictated, It would soon become autocratic and self-perpetu? ating. The right principle to adopt is to allow a Senator fairly elected to take bis seat and if his conduct afterwards is dis? honest, then all good people would up? hold the Senate in expelling him. ? Home Again. Governor Tillman yesterday returned to the city from his liquor tour. He was accompanied by Senator Irby, whom be met at Danville yesterday morning by chance. Upon their arrival they drove at once to tne executive mansion, where Senator Ir by will remain until this morn? ing. The Governor is suffering from a se? vere cold which be caught in Pittsburg last Saturday, during a heavy rain. He talks very interestingly of his trip and Its results. When asked about the rumor that the liquor concerns would not sell to the State without good security, he said: "There will be plenty of good whiskey to supply all the demands lor pure liquor, and we don't Invite the Journal or any? body else to help us get it - He said they could not make any pur? chases till they bad all the necessary analyses made. There would be a com? plete line of samples sent and many of them had already arrived here. Gover? nor Tillman said: "I now know more about liquor than any man In South Car? olina." He says he did not acquire this knowledge through the sense of taste, however, but from a careful study of the methods of manufacture, etc. He says that be and Mr. Traxler visited the leading whiskey distilleries of the country, which manufacture three differ? ent classes of liquors. At Louisville they spent some' time in the factory where the famous Bourbon whiskey is made. The distillery has a capacity of 50,000 gallons per day. At Cincinnati they visited the distillery where high proof spirits and alcohol are made. The rectifying process is employed, all liquor being distilled through charcoal and the oil secured. He brought back a bottle of the oil. The distillery turns out 31,000 gallons a day. The other place visited was an old-fash? ioned rye distillery in the Monongahela Valley, some distance from Pittsburg. This whiskey is distilled In copper stills and is said to be very fine. The own? er of the mill has been operating it for forty years. The Governor said that they visited the leading breweries in the two large cities mentioned and watched the manufacture of beer with peculiar interest He Beys they ascertained everything tbey wanted to know and are now exceedingly well posted. Governor Tillman also says that In con? nection with the examination of the man? ufacture of whiskey, they examined very thourougly the various bottling depart? ments of all the big concerns, and were astonished at the rapidity with which the work is done. In Pittsburg tbey visited a large bottle manufacturing establish? ment, and saw the process employed In the. making of bottles. He told the com? pany what South Carolina intended to do in the liquor business and secured bid?.? Columbia State. Socialism in South Carolina. The experiment of establishing State sa? loons in South Carolina is socialistic or nothing. When a State r .n abolish private own? ership and private control in one line of business, and substitute government ownership and control it can do it in any other line of business. We laugh at the socialists who want the government to take charge of the railways, telegraph Hoes, and man ufactu rlng industries of the country, but here is a precedent. The St. Louis Republic says "Those who think this Impossible will do well to study this South Carolina case. Here is a business in which hundreds of thousands were invested taken out of private hands by a mere act of the legis? lature. It was. a lawful business and this action was outrageously unjust to the men who on the faith of the State bad In? vested money In It. But no one thinks it strange that this business is wiped out, and no ct ort will decide that the law wbiob gives the State of South Carolina a monopoly of the business of selling U ?uor inside its boundaries is unconstitu onal or void. The saloon property rights of South Carolina have gone where "ves? ted rights" in slaves went before and where a great many other vested rights will go also if the millionaires of Amer? ica do not learn to show greater respeot for individual rights. In upholding which, and in no other way, can a suc? cessful stand be made against the social? ism of the oppressed, which is the answer their radicalism makes to the radicalism of the commune of capi? tal." i It is time to heed the danger signals to! be seen in every quarter. The democrat* ic party must carry out Its policy of tariff and financial reform without delay. An oppressive financial system, a robber tar in, and the governmental favoritism an? der which a fevr privileged olasaea have been enriched at the expense of the mass? es are responsible for the epread of so? cialistic ideas. We must lose no time in redeeming the pledges of the democratic platform, or socialism wide-spread and rampant, will give the government trouble, The South Carolina experiment is a menace to good government. It is social? ism, pure and simple,?A tlanta Constitu? tion. Kecley Strikes It Rich. j Cpjcago, III., ^.pril 16.?The Times this morning sayt TJnless some unfore? seen obstacle comt the way the fa? mous bichloride of g, cure for drunk? enness will pass out of the bands of the LelsieKeely Company tomorrow. The ?rice to be paid is $10,000,000 and ?

The State Capitol of Texas is the lar? gest ? t?te building in the United States and the seventh hi size among the build? ings of the world. It is a vast Greek cross of red Texas granite, with a central rotunda covered by a dome 811 feet high. It was begun in 1881 and finished in 1888. having cost about $3,500,000. It was paid for with 3,000,000 acres ot public land, deeded to the capitalists who executed the work.. toin? States St?ttniSwebt, C?icAod, April 12.?Last night's slorm Wrought such havoc with the telegraph wires that it is almost Impossible to ob? tain particulars of the damage d?no in the West, where the destruction seems to have been general and widespread in the States of Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Kan? sas and Missouri. Probably the greatest damage was done in Iowa, although the roports from Ne? braska indicate that when*the full partic? ulars have been received that Slato will lead in the loss of property and human life. Along the line of the Chicago, Milwau? kee and St. Paul Railroad, in Iowa and Nebraska the storm cut a wide swarth. The town of Akron, in the former State, was demolished, and Westfield a few miles distant, was badly demoralized. Meagre reports from localities in the interior show that the devastation was widespread, although its full extent will not be known for several days, owing to a lack of telegraphic facilities and the washing out of country roads, rendering communication difficult, and in many cases impossible. Continuing along the railroad in Ne? braska, the storm swept up farm build? ings, fences and bridges, and finally swooped down on the town of Page, which is wrecked. At this point the first loss of life was reported, Mrs. Clara Magee being the victim. Her two chil? dren were dangerously injured, and sev? eral other persons were hurt. The storm travelled with great velocity, covering 200 miles between Akron and Page in an hour and a half. Damage was done farther west, but owing to the com? plete prostration of the telegraph wires absolutely no particulars are obtainable. Hioqinsville, Mo., April 12.?This County was visited last night about 7 o'clock by a terrific wind storm, which swept everything before it from the southwest partof the County to the north? east line, and leaving the County by crossing the Missouri river at Waverly. Near Page City six deaths have so far been reported. Will Walker, a prosper? ous young farmer, was at the supper table with his wife and three children, when bis brick house was blown over, completely burying him and all the children. His wife extricated herself j and with great difficulty released him. They were unable to rescue two of the children, who were smothered in the debris; a third is fearfully mangled. J. W. Hutchinson, an aged farmer in the same neighborhood, suffered the loss of his wife and the complete demolition of his house, and was badly erippled. Mrs. A. Y. Luke and brother were killed outrieht and their barns terribly wreck? ed. Further on, Capt. Tode Hunter's barns were demolished and a small negro girl killed on his farm. There are numerous reports and ru? mors, about deaths at Dover and Waver? ly, but nothing authentic can be secured. Indianapolis, April 12.?Advices re? ceived from over the State tell of heavy damage and loss of life by the storm of last night and this morning. A tornado swept over a portion of Hokomo at 4 o'clock this morning, demolishing the machinery and boiler rooms of the American straw board mills. Robert Douglass, an employee of the mills, was instantly killed by the falling walls. Other workmen in the machinery room narrowly esoaped. A large portion of | the building is a complete wreck, and the loss will exceed $30,000. The storm mov? ed to the northwest, uprooting trees in its way and doing more or less damage to buildings. St. Louis, April 12.?Last night's storm of wind, .hail and rain was the worst this city has experienced in many years. The rainfall began shortly after 8 o'clock, and with slight intervals of heavy hail, accompanied by blasts of wind, at times reaching a velocity of over fifty miles an hour, continued until 2 a. m. The rainfall was two and a half inches. Street car traffic was almost completely stopped. The telephone service was com? pletely demoralized and telegraph wires in all directions were prostrated. The (>oor house, the female hospital and the nsane asylum suffered severely. No one was killed at any of the institutions, but there were several narrow escapes. Damages done to property along the river front was very heavy. Cincinnati, April 12.?At 4 o'clock this morning the wind blew a velocity of seventy-eight miles an hour. Earthquake shocks are reported from a dozen differ? ent sources. A great deal of damage was done to property. Near London, Indi? ana, on the Big Four road, several freight cars were blown from the sidetrack to the main track. A fast freight train ran into them and was wrecked. The engineer was killed instantly and trainmen were injured. Albany, Texas, April 12.?A terrific wind and hail storm swept over Western Texas last evening, travelling directly down the valley and laying waste every? thing in its path. Whole farm orchards and small grain crops were completely ruined, and not a window pane in the storm's track is left. Granaries, barns, windmills and fences were destroyed. Albany escaped with but light damge. Many oattle were killed, but no human fatalities are reported. St. Joseph, Mo., April 12.?A disas? trous cyclone visited the country north? west of Stanberry, Mo., last evening. It moved from west to east and covered a strip of country two miles wide and five miles long. Almost every building in its path was torn to pieces. Several poo da* were killed, among them Mrs. Ward, ler husband was fatally injured, as was John Shelton. An unknown woman was also killed. Most of the people saw the oyclone coming in time to get into their cyclone caves and escape injnry. New Orleans, April' 12.?The limes Democrat's Vlcksburg, Miss., Bpecial says: Conductor Thomas of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railway wires here: "The town of Robinsonville, Coa homa County, was swept away by a cyclone about 4 o'clock this afternoon. All the stores are in flames. Several ne? groes in the ruins. The depot was com? pletely destroyed and the night operator's 1 wife killed. A colored child was also killed. Only two houses are left stand? ing." . I St. Louis, April 12.?A heavy storm of wind and rain swept over Northern Tex? as last n}gbt) In Dallas several build? ings were blown down, but no one was killed. In Paris, Hillboro, Brookston and other places houses were blown down. The only casualty in the path of the storm, as far as reported, was near Muskeogee, Indian Territory, where a man named Robinson and bis child were killed by a house blowing down on tbem. Ypsilantj, Mich.. April 12,?A tor? nado struck this place about 7.30 this evening and wrecked the business por? tion of the town. The loss is heavy. It has not yet been learned whether there was any loss of life. Memphis, Tenn., April 13.?Seventeen persons were killed and a score or wore wounded at Robinsonvilie, Miss., by yes? terday's cyclone. A few minutes after the tornado struok the town, fire broke out in the debris of the Chinese laundry, and the mass of wreckage caught on fire and burned all night and to-day. Several bodies of those killed by the falling bouses were burned to a crisp. Two clouds, one from the east and one from the west, met over the town and then began a rotary motion, which tore up houses and snap? ped huge trees like reeds. The cyclone moved west from the Mississippi river a distance of seven miles, and swept all before it. Mrs. Emma Lusk, wife of the night operator, was in her house, with her husband and three children. The husband got out, but the woman was killed, and her three children were blown a hundred yards through the air. They were naked when found, but uninjured. Isaac Chapman was crushed under the ruins of bis house, and burned, along with three other pegroes, whose names are unknown, The body of an old negress was found torday in an open field.

Great destruction of property and loss of life is also reported from various points in Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas and Indian Territory. Mr. Ingalls as a Prophet. Now, that ex-Senator Ingalls is a statesman out of a job, he feels that he can afford to be very frank and can? did. The Kansas orator in a recent letter says that slavery and secession are dead dogmas. Henceforth the negro will not hold the balance of power. There is a growing hostility to war issues and even the race problem is practically extinct. Tho negro must take his chances with the rest. There will be no more force bills and no more civil rights legis? lation. Mr. Ingalls goes on to say that tho African can no longer be a political fac? tor, and with four years of Democratic rule, Anglo-Saxon supremacy will never again be disturbed. He intimates that the suppression of tbo negro vote is all right, and suggests that under the same circumstancos it would be suppressed in the north. As he puts it; "There will be no more political cam? paigns fought in the United States upon the attitude of tho democratic party du? ring the war, nor its relations to slavery and secession, or reconstruction, or the resumption of specie payments, or the disputed succession iu 1877. The dead past has buried its dead. Social and economic questions are at the front. The industrial issue is the Auron's rod that has swallowed all tbe rest. The masses have discovered that political equality does not bring about social fraternity'; tbat the ballot is not a medicine to enre j all the diseases of the State, and tbat the I inequalities of fortune and rank are as great under a republic as under an em? pire. In a country where liberty is uni? versal, education provided for all aud ev? ery citizen the equal of every other be? fore tbe law, with an equal chance in the struggle of life, many are called and few chosen ; one eats crumbs and wears rags, while another is clad in fine linen and purple aud lares sumptuously every day." Mr. Ingalls is a very bright man, and the wonder is that he did not see the sit? uation in its true light when be was a statesman with a job. But disappoint? ment and defeat sometimes clarify a man's ideas and give him a keener in? sight into things. With so many of the old issues out of the way, what will the republicans make their fight on next time ? They will have to advocate a pro? tective tariff, the national banking sys? tem, the demonetization of silver and a centralized government. They must stand on this platform or disband, and with such a platform their defeat is a foregone conclusion.?Atlanta Constitu? tion. Do Babies Eyes Grow. The Boston Herald published on Sun? day last an interesting article about the mem bei s of Mr. Cleveland's Cabi net', with pictures "drawn from life" by Tnulstrup, of how these great men look at their work? ing desks, and entertaining descriptions of their peculiarities. The story about Farmer Morton, the now Secretary of Agriculture, was very full and gave a charming view of his lifo and work. In describing Mr. Morton's personal appear? ance the writer in the Herald says: "On the third finger of the left hand there is something startling and inexpli? cable. It is a large diamond, weighing at least five carats, a diamond about as big as a young baby's eye." We do not question for a moment Mr. Morten's inalienable right to wear a diamond ring on the third finger of his left hand, or on any other finger, or on all the fingers of both hands?he worked for his money, and it is his own business whether he shall invest it in jewelry, or in stocks and bonds, or in Jersey cows. We shall not quarrel with him on this or any other subject?it is enough to say at this time tbat he is tbe most thoroughly equipped Secretary of Agriculture tbe country has ever had. But tbe queer com garison made by the correspondent of tbe ;oston newspaper?"a diamond about as big as a young baby's eye"?gives us pause. How big is "ayoung baby's eye?" We have heard it stated within the last day or two that "a young baby's eye" is as big as a grown person's eye ; that the eye does not grow as the body grows; that it is the same size.when tbe baby Is born as it is after the baby has grown up to be a man or woman ; that it is born full size and is then as big as it ever gets to be. This statement nas'been submitted to a num? ber of experts on babies, who generally agree that "a young baby's eye" grows as the body grows, though not in the same ratio. But is it true? Authorities are sometimes in error. Expert witness? es frequently tangle themselves up in all kinds of contradictory statements of facts; expert physicians do not reach the same conclusions from identically tbe same basis of reasoning; expert cotton buyers oftentimes buy when the slumps in the markets prove that they should have sold. It may be that tbo baby-ex? perts whom we have- questioned on tbe subject of baby-eyes have spoken with? out duo consideration. We should like to have the puzzle settled,' and shall be glad to receive from careful observers brief communications touching the ques? tions at issue: Do babies' eyes grow? How big is a young baby's eyes??News and Courier. Snow Storm in April. New York, April 15.?Snow has been falling fast ia the middle section of the State since midnight. At Rochester the snow is heavy and a strong wind is blowing. At 1 o'clock about five inch? es had fallen and it was still snowing hard. Cleveland, Ohio, April 15.?A heavy and blinding snow storm has prevailed throughout northwestern Ohio since ear? ly last evening. This morning the snow has reached six inches aud is still falling. In this city street car service is Impeded to some extent. Thr-y Will Walk Back Home. Washington, April 14.?Capt. Hugh Watson, editor and proprietor of the Trinity Herald, Jonesville, La., and William II. Larharn, publisher of the same paper, who have been in Washing? ton for the past fortnight seeking office, tbe former aspiring to be commissioner of navigation, the latter desiring a case in the government printing office, baye become tired of waiting and have deci? ded to walk home. They will leave here at 8 o'clock on Monday morning and tbe route will be lb Richmond, Va., Dan? ville, Atlanta, thence to Montgomery, Ala., Mobile and New Orleans, a distance, of 1,350 miles, which they expect to ac? complish in sixty days. Advertising Run Mad. Washington, April 14.?The Treasury Department received to-day, in a con? signment from a Southern bank, a num? ber of silver dollars on which were pasted on the side a thin piece of paper, having on it an advertisementof a business firm. The advertisement began, "Return this this to?" (the name following) ?and then setting forth that his money's worth could be had for the dollar. It is stated that the country is being flooded with silver dollars bearing this class of advertisement. The design is copyrighted by the patentee. While the silver dol? lars are good, Treasurer Neboker, with the approyal of Secretary Carlislo, has refused to redeom the money defaced in this way, and to-day returned a lot of jt to the bank that sent it, at the bank's ex? pense. ? Up to this time there has been enter? ed at the New Vorlf custom house 42,578 packages of exhibits for the World's ^air at Chicago. A part of tbo packages aro Government exhibits, and a part are pri? vate exhibits. Tbo exhibits of the Italian Government will be taken to Portland, Me., by an Italian warship, and from that port transported to Chicago. Go to Anderson, then go to C. P. Jones & Cu's.

An t-tf >rt is being made to establish a Dispensary in Anderson. Tbe writer sin? cerely hopes tbat t?is effort will fail. This is the bes? and surest opportunity the peo? ple of this place have ever had to give Prohibition a fair chance under a very utringenl Prohibition law. The Prohibi? tionists should accept and improve the opportunity. If we cannot enforce Pro? hibition under the Dispensary law with? out a Dispensary the writer, for one, will believe tbat total Prohibition is an impos? sibility. Those who who are opposed to the Dispensary law are cordially solicited to aid us in our efforts to defeat a Dispen? sary in onr town. It is argued by some that if ws do not aid In establishing a Dispensary, the next session of tbe Legislature will force it on us or place it elsewhere in the County. This would be an insult to every Prohibi? tionists in Anderson County, aud would be an open violation of the pledge of our Representatives. We have been given a chance hetweeu a Dispensary aud real Prohibition, and if after we choose tbe latter we have tbat choice taken away and a Dispensary forced on us against our wills.it will show an utter disregard for tbe rights of the people. We do not ex? pect such treatment at tbe hands of our Representatives. Let us all stand firmly together for Pro? hibition, and if the Dispensary is forced on us we will not be responsible for tbe results. We again earnestly aud cordially solicit all who will to help us. Remem? ber a man must bave a majority of the "freehold voters" of tbe city who can read to sign biB application before be can be appointed Dispunser. A Dispensary can? not be established without a Dispenser. Prohibitionist. A Little More Road Law. Editors Intelligencer : I intended to have added another verse or two to my road law, but did not want to occupy too much space at one time, and tbat is in regard to width of tire on vehicles, which is one of the most important factors in the way ol keeping good roads after they have been made good that I know of. In order that you may better understand my proposition, and to show tbat it is not an untried experiment, I copy the following from the New York World,: ''In a special bulletin on tbe making of roads, issued from the Ontario (Canada) Department of Agrioulture, tbe width of tires on vehicles, which has so much to do with the destruction of roads, is considered. The great defect is that for heavy loads the tires are too narrow. It has been proved by repeated and care? ful experiments that wheels with tires 21-2 inches wide cause donble the wear of wheels which have tires 4 1-2 inches wide. The surface of the roadway is not able to bear tbe heavy load put upon it by narrow tires, the tire therefore cuts through the surface and forms deep ruts. In the care of gravel or stone roads the good effect of broad tires would prcbably be even more noticeable than on mud roads, especially in the mat? ter of keeping the road surface compact. "The width of tires on wheels should be properly proportioned to the weights they are designed to carry. Wide tires have a tendency to roll tbe road and keep it smooth at the same time; usually it does not require the same amount of force to haul a vehicle with wide tires as it does to haul one with narrow tires. "Most of the European countries bave laws regulating the width of tires on ve? hicles. In France tbe market wagons have tires from 3 to 10 inches in width, usually from 4 to 6 inches. Not only have they wide tires, but in most four wheeled freight wagons the rear axle is 14 inches longer than the fore axle, so that tbe rear wheels run on a line abont an inch outside of theline of the fore wheels; instead of being a road destroyer they are a veritable road maker.' The following width of tire is recommended in the bul? letin quoted: Wagon without Wagon with Load on each wheel. Springs. Springs. 500 lb. to 1,000 lb. 2% inches. VA inches. 1,000 lb. to 1,500 lb. S inches. 2 inches. 1,500 lb. to '^,060 lb. 4 inches. 8 inches. 2,000 lb. to 3,000 lb. 6 inches. 4 inches. "In order to encourage the use of wide tires in the State of Michigan they have a law granting a certain reduction in tax? es to those who use wide tires. "Vehicles on springs are much easier on roads than vehicles without snriugs. "Wheels of large diameter do less dam? age to roads than smaller ones and cause less draught." Now, in levying a tax to build and keep up public roads, I would recommend tbat all vehicles, of whatever make or name, be taxed in addition to the"general levy on all taxable property for road pur? poses, as follows, viz: One-horse, two wheeled vehicles, with springs, twenty five cents; one-horse vehicle, with two wheels, without springs, fifty cents ; one horse, four-wheeled vehicle.with springs, fifty cents; without springs, seventy five cents ; two-horse vehicle, four-wheel? ed, with springs, one dollar; without springs, one dollar and fifty cents; four horse vehicle, with four wheels and spring*, two dollars; without springs, threa dollars. This tax to be paid annu? ally, with this proviso, that if all one horse vehicles with springs have tires 1J wide, or a one-horse vehicle without springs to have a tire two inches wide, all two-horse vehicles with springs to have a tire three inches wide, or without springs a tire four inches wide, and all four-horse vehicles with springs a tire five inches wide, or without springs a tire six inches wide; and provided, fur? ther, that all four-wheeled vehicles have the front axles abort enough and tbe hiud axle long enough for tbe hi a d wheels to track outside of the front wheels, so that a wagon with tire four inohes wide will make a track eight inches wide, to be exempt from such tax; otherwise the tax as above stated to bo collected aud applied to the road fund. If all of our vehicles had tires as above specified it would not require much to keep our public roads in good shape after they were once put in good order. I am confident that our wagons would be of lighter draught, would last longer, and we could haul a third more with thesame Eower than we now do. So I think we ad better push this thing of good roads, and not let it stop until we get tbem. ' Qf course there will be opposition, but there has always been opposition tq progress ; but it would only be temporary, like the opposition to the fence law a few years ago?it soon died out; and I would ven? ture the assertion that there is not one farmer in a hundred who would have the old fence system back were it possible to get it. Aud so it would be with my pro? posed road law witb wide tires?tho ben? efit could not well be calculated or im? agined it would be so great. II our County Commissioners were as eager to have our public roads worked out as they were to get votes last fall, tbat hole in the middle of the road at the branch near H. It. Jones' would be filled up. Let us keep the wheel rolling until we get a wide tiro on it, and a good smooths road for it to run on, and then we would be on the road to prosperity. South Car? olina has took the lead in a great many public enterprises heretofore, so how let her take the lead for good roads?tbe way is open, and if we don't lead off some other State will beat us to it. We had some frost this (Monday) morn? ing, and I am fearful that if tho wind does not change to-day we will have more to-morrow morning, and my cotton is coming up, too, and the trees are full of peaches, which will be killed if it dooB come?a big frost. Old folks say frost don't kill on the new of the moon, but I don't know?I am afraid it wl'L ' I am going to watch it, so I 'w'U know what time of moon to be afraid of frost. Squire Fewel. Piedmont. S. O. -1 From Alanauia. Cane Creek, Ala., April 13th, 1893, Editors Intelligencer; If you will give a little space in your paper, I will write you some local items from this part of our "Suuny South," which may be of interest to some of my old South Carolina friends, Farmers, as a general thing, are behind with their work, caused by the great amount of rain which we had in the early Spring, but we are having good weather now, and if it continues we will soon catch up with our work. There are a great deal more fertilizers being used In this country this year than last, which indicates that we will get from 5 to 7 cents for our cotton next fall. There have been several deaths in this County during the Winter and early Spring, principally among very old peo? ple Some of them wore ovor SO years old*at the time they djpd. The health of bur countvy la vary good at this time, and the Dootors are not get? ting much practice. Times are hard and dull, caused by the scarcity of money, but we are living in hones of better t'mes in the near future. We belleye that the Democrats, having full control of our government, will mend matters a great deal in a year or two, Brother "Needle" wants me to send him the name of some peioon in Beats to act as agent for him in disposing of his Alliance liver pills. If it was in my power to accommodate him I would cheerfully do so, because I know that he is a first class Allianceman, but I cannot find any one that is willing to act for him. Wo had some of his Alliance livor pills here in Beat five last year. They Were furnished Yj the gross, and vrere warranted to cure any disease of either body or mind, but the more of these pills we swallowed the worse we got, until we were obliged to vomit up gross pill** and all. No, no, Brother Needle, I cannot help you any in that line. Yours, for Democracy, Beat FlVK. Dcuver Items. Earth is putting on the beautiful robe of Spring, the birds and flowers are awakening to new life and everything looks lovely. Spring is the most beauti? ful season of the whole year. All nature seems alive and happy. The farmers have beeu and are still very busy. I once thought farmers liveu the most easy, pleasant lives of all other class of people. That tbey only had to work about half the time, but I find if one would have anything they must work for it, and one can always Hod something to do on the farm the earns as elsewhere. Our old frieod, Mr. W. E. Eskew, has been quite sick but is now able to be up. He and his wife are two of the most energetic old people I ever met?always doing something. He is never satisfied except when out at work. We have attended a couple of social gatherings recently, one at the residence of Mr. S. L. Eskew, where we spent a few ho urn very pleasantly. A few frieuda met at the home of Mips Mattie Eskew Saturday night. There was music, both instrumental and vocal. The evening was highly enjoyed by all present. Our charming friend, Miss Corrine Long, and Mr. J. H. Pruitt, of Sturr, are visiting their cousin, Miss Mattie Eskew. Miss Corrine is a great favorite in this community, and always heartily wel? comed to our midst. She makes a flying visit occasionally. We would be pleased if some of "our boys" would capture her and bring her here to stay. It would be a pleasant addition to our society. I I know there are several young men tbat would be delighted if they could but mus? ter up sufficient courage to mate the at? tempt. Our charming and accomplished teach? er, Miss Bailey, has charge of the school at Denver now, and, notwithstanding the busy season, has a good attendance. One of Pickens' most charming young ladies, Miss Myrtie Burri98, is visiting in this County. She spent a short wnile with Miss Mattie Eskew, where we bad the pleasure of meeting her. I wonld not be surprised if our little community were not startled from its ac? customed quiet by the clamor of weddiug bells in the near future. Present indica? tions are pointing that way. ^^^^^^^ Jessamine. Flashes from Shiloh. There was a large crowd present at the Quarterly Meeting which convened at this place last Saturday and Sunday. Some of our farmers are done planting. I think the cotton crop is increased in? stead of decreased. Will our people never learn any sense ? We don't want any legislation for the country people? in fact, we don't need any. I notice some of the correspondents oi other papers are bewailing the hard lot of the factory operatives, and are crying out against the management of them. I can tell the reason why a great many people went to the factory: It is because these same farmers who are kicking up such a rumpus bought supplies and sold them to their tenants at fifty and seventy five per cent. Well, they say, they have to make some profit. Now, I have heard of some of these same oppressed farm? ers going to the Bank and borrowing money for their tenants, and when fail came take all of the crop to pay off tbat debt which they claim is due them. We will say, for instance, that a tenant buys sunplies to the amount of fifty dollars. Well, he owes that sum to the landowner and his crop is worth seventy-five dol? lars. When the settlement is made the landowner takes all of the crop for the tenant's indebtedness. Thus you see he comes out twenty-five dollars ahead. If we need any legislation it is to make the farmer give justice to bis tenants. If the farmer who is so oppressed would stay at home and manage his farm like the mill men manage their bualness, and discon? tinue loafing around these factories every Saturday afternoon and talking politics, they would be a great deal better off financially, politically and morally. It takes elbow grease and good judgment to run a farm. Now. brother farmers, if you will do like I do, stay at home and work, you will be happier. Our girls have organized a debating society. They say they can out debate any set of boys in the country. By the way, I believe them. Some of them talk so fast it would astonish the fastest poli? tician that ever lived. Some of the gi rls have a habit of send? ing flowers to Piercetown. Wender who isbeating'in these diggins? Country Cracker. An Antique Railroad Train. New York, April Tho queerest railroad train tbat has been seen in many a long year drew out of the Pennsylvania depot, Jersey City, at 10.16 this morning amid the cheers of curiosity seekers. The train consisted of Engine No. 1 of the Pennsylvania Railway and cars No. 3 and 5. Engine No. 1 of the Pennsyl? vania road is also Engine No. 1 cf the United States, being tho first railway locomotive used on this aide of the At? lantic. It has been among the curiosities in the national museum at Washington for several years, and was recently refit? ted for this duty. It is called "John Bull," and started this morning to puff its way laboriously to the World's Fair, where it will he an object of wonder to millions. The John Bull shows no sign of ita great age except its antique construction. It is painted and polished so that it shines as fair as the latest born of modern loco? motives. The coaches look like stage coaches. They are in gala attire, being painted bright green, with the inscrip? tion, "John Bull Train." The train is manned by veteran railroaders. m ? + .' All Records Br?ken? Birdsboro, Pa., April \?,?The first public teat of the Brown regimental wire wound gun was made to-day, in the pres? ence of government exports, representa? tives of foreign powers, and a number of invited guests from New York, Philadel? phia and other cities. Three shots were fired, and the gun successfully withstood the pressure, which the exports declared would blow any other gun in the world to atoms, Tho teat to-day broke all re? cords and marked a decided step forward in gun manufacture, placing the United States in the van in gun making, as it already is in armor-plate manufacture. The tests to-day were in charge of Lieut. G-. N. Whistler, of the Fifth Artillery. U. S. A., John Hamilton Brown, the inventor, assisted. The gun has just been finished as a sample for the United States Government. It was built at the Diamond Drill Works at this place, under personal supervision of John Hamilton Brown, the inventor. It is built on a new system, which is the winding of steel wire around a segmen tal core of steel. The core is mado of twelve pieces of steel. 19 feet long, and with a cross section like the key of an arch. The core is three inches in thick? ness at the breech and three-quarters of an inch at the muzzle. This is wound with thirty-three layers of steel wire, seven-onehundredths of an inch in thickness. The gun is about fifteen inches in diameter at tho breech and ten inches at the muszle. The total length of the wire used is thirty-seven miles, Tho gun is nineteen feet in leuglh and weighs three and one-third tops, Its cost is less than that of a built-up gun, and it requires less time to manufacture. ? Within thirty years the world's annual product of silver has increased from ?40,000,000 to about $150,000,000. Thirty years ago the United States pro? duced less than 55,000,000 and to-day over $60,000,000 a year. Under sufficient stim? ulus Mexico could alone place more sil? ver bullion on the market every year than the whole world did in 1860. ? The San Francisco newspaper* are bespeaking serious attention for what they effect to believe is another menace to our civilization?tho immigration of the Japanese?and we may expect to hear the question of their exclusion agitated. At present the Japanese, if thoy do not violate the contract labor law, can enter the country as fre9ly as ether immigrants. For a long time San Francisco petted the Japs, made servants of thorn, nut thorn into places of domestic trust, and elevated them above the Chinoso as a superior race. The reaction has now set in, and the Jap has become an object of aversion iu some quarters. As a matter of fact, there is a little difference between the common laborers of China and Japan. Both work on the Pacific coast for a lower wage than the white man, tho Japanese of late underbidding even the Chinese, Just now railroad contractors find it con? venient to engage the Japanese, and iu consequence there have been ugly pro testa from the white laborers. It is stated by the San Francisco Chronicle that "the Japanese havo completely ovor-ridden tno Chinoso in the Sandwich Islands," and it sounds the warning "that tho same tiling is likoly to occur in tho United States unless measures are taken to re? strict their immigration." ? The republicans have never elected a president who had not aeon military ser vice. ? The cotton picker invontod by J. W. Wallis, of Memphis, Piekeus countj', Ala., has been tried and worked success? fully. ? A road bill appropriating $3,000,000 for the Improvement or the highways of the State has passed its second reading in the Pennsylvania House of Representa? tives. ? At Shelby, N. C, Cicero Harris, colored, was "fooling around a horse and the horse kicked him. Harris had an open knife in his hand and the horse's heels struck the band, driving the knife blade into the negro's eyeball, destroying the sight. ? Mrs. Minnie N. Caldwoll, widow of the late Dr. William Beverly Caldwell, Jr., has given the Southern Baptist The? ological Seminary real estate in Lonis I ville worth over $100,000 to endow the presidency ofthe seminary, in memory of her husband. ?In regard to the decision of a Vermont Judge that when a maiden discards her lover she must return the engagement ring he baa given her, it is well to recall the ruling of an English Court thatan en? gagement ring is not recoverable under any circumstances. ? Those who look to woman suffrage as a means for the purification of politics will receive a decided shock upon exam? ining the candidacy of Mrs. Anna Potter for the mayoralty of Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Potter received twenty-six votes, but her expenses amounted to more than $9,000. ? The late Elliot F. Shepard left prop? erty valued at $1,350.000. He left $100,000 to the "New York Presbytery for evan? gelistic purposos, $50,000 to the Seventh Presbyterian Church of New York city and $100,000 to St. Paul's institute at Tar? sus, in Asia Minor.

WEBSTER'S INTERNATIONAL j DICTIONARY, AND IT CAME TO PASS That after many cold wintry days, such as hod not been seen for some Winters past, beautiful Spring came forth in all its loveliness. To-day we behold a clear sky. The air is full of music of the birds, and the butterfly is wont to be on the wing. We scent from a*far off the fragrance of the flowers and new-made leaves. The busy bee no longer lingers in the hive nor near its entrance, but hies himself to the home of the honey-due and the nectar of the flowers. The sweet grasses and the hated weeds are springing forth close neighbors in eve? ry quarter. All mankind is up and astir. It is a dear race to see what man shall outstrip his brother. For is it not recorded that the son shall outstrip the father?that the least shall be greatest, and the greatest shall be least; that the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. Who can say that the bottom rail never gets on top, or that every dog does not have his day? It is well known that we started in the race far behiud many of our brethren. It is also known that we have also pass? ed many of them while they slept or strove not. Have we not made our name resound through this land as a syuonym of truth and honesty.
