' r r ' The Columbia Journal says the value of the raw cotton consumed in South ' Carolina by her own mills in 1891-92 was '-$9,821,480. The value of this cotton in finished material is 927,285,920. The mills havo therefore added to the wealth of the V State over ?21,000,000 in that period. This splendid sum is expressed in dividends to active capital and wages to thrifty workmen. Through these mediums it has found its way into the channels of trade, and even the farmers in the vicinity >f the mills have realized paying mar _ ->ts for their poultry, dairy and vegeta? ble productions. The Columbia, correspondent of the few* ard Courier B&ja it is understood that the South Carolina and Richmond and Danville Railroads will in a few days file their suits against the Sheriffs for ring up their trains during the recent tax fight The Bichmond and Danville will make its damages for $33,000, and the South Carolina Road for 922,000. It ! asserted that these figures are based 1 >n the actual losses of the roads by the ' holding of their trains.. Mr. Crawford, tho special lawyer engaged in these cases, will probably enter the suits. We agree with Attorney General Townsend when ho says the railroads had better get through with their other cases before they begin on a new tack. -;-?~* Conspiracy charges which have been so commonly made of late against com- j binatiens of'employers and unions of working men' have been a bug-a-boo to J the labor movement for years, princi? pally 'because neither side seemed to thoroughly under star d just what con? spiracy was or how charges affecting it would lie. The question has even as? sumed a ludicrous phase in recent con? troversies, some disgruntled labor leaders ontendlng that the Judges themselves .zero open to the charge of conspiracy because some of their decisions had har? monized. It is a pity the law concerning conspiracy in its bearings upon labor troubles is not more uniformly laid down ?nd more generally understood. A few days ago in New York the Rev. Dr. J. S. Baldwin, for twenty-two years .-Methodist missionary in China, and for nearly a quarter of a century secretary of the missionary board of the Methodist J Episcopal Church, which has a large looeyed interest in Chins, said that they ad positive information, from dignitaries of the Chinese government and from his >wn Chinese' missionaries, that if the Chinese exclusion act is carried into effect and the Chinese are shipped from ibis country to China, deported because they are eimply here without taking out , - certificates, that Americans in China will bo likewise deported from that country to the United States. The enforcement of the exclusion law will therefore put an end to missionary work in China. It seems now to be a settled fact that ex-Speaker Crisp will be re-elected Speaker when Congress assembles in extra session in September, without op? position. A few days ago Mr. Crisp dined with President Cleveland and it is understood that the organization and the legislation of the next House were then thoroughly considered. Having been accorded a practically unanimous re? election, Mr. Crisp will be free, as few of | his predecessors have been, to make np the committees of the House without ' considering particular obligations to any of its members. Whatever obligations he may hs.ye felt to those who made him Speaker' two years ago have been dis? charged, so that they need not feel "alighted if they do not get as prominent places an they have held during the past; two years. His purpose; it is under? stood, is to make a general and complete reorganization of the oommitteeu and to ?0 constitute the more important .ones as to make it i-ertaiu that the measures for tariff reform, pension reform, financial reform and civil service reform, recom? mended by tbe Administration, shall be given every possible advantage. Judge Simonton's decision in tbe case of H. A. M. Smith vs. Joseph Bivensf which waa filed in Charleston last Satur? day, declares tbe act of 1891, which ex? empts certain portions of Colleton County from the operations of the :stock law, un? constitutional. The case is a peculiar one. The plaintiff owns about thirty-two thousar I acres of land in Colleton Coun? ty, which is only suitable for grazing purposes. When be purchased it the law required all persons to fence their stock and the plaintiff, therefore, received a per capita frcm tbe defendant and others for the pasture of their stock upon his lands. In 1891 notice was given that this royalty was to be increased and the plaintiff charges that thereupon Bivens' and otL irs got the legislature to pass the act in question, and after its passage con? tinued to allow their cattle to graze on plaintiffs land and refused to pay any royalty. The plaintiff asks for an inj unc? tion against them. Judga Simonton grants the injunction, without damages, and his opinion declares the act uncon I stitutional._ _ THE LAW OF THE DISPENSARY. Bales Fixed by the State Board of Con ? trol. Columbia, May 20.?One drink a day, no matter what its size, is the order of the State board of whiskey control. It has to be taken before 6 o'clock in tbe evening, except in cases of sickness. Tbe board is setting a premium on temporary illness. The regulations foi the dispen? saries are full of nniqne features and are sure to be carefully stndied by prospec? tive patronizers of the branches of the State bar rooms. They read as fol? lows : 1. County dispensaries will be open for the sale of liquors at 7 a. m. o'clock from April 1 to October 1, and close at 6 p. m. The rest of the year the hours will be from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. In cases of illness only sale may be made at night. 2. No loafing will be allowed around a county dispensary. 8. When the applicant for the purchase of liquor is unable to write he or she can make a cross mark, and the * same at? tested by the county diupenser will be received as if made in accordance with the Act. Applications must not be filled for onb person oftener than once a day. i. Applications can be filled on written orders made in good faith when the name of the applicant Is authorized to be signed by the county dispenser and per? sona known to said dispenser or hia identity is established to his satisfaction. 5. County dispensers can carry on their legitimate business in connection with the sale of liquors in the same store by paying a proportionate share of the rent, but this does not affect the time of closing as fixed in rule one. All liquors must be sold for cash and money deposi? ted in bank each night. 6. A member of the county board of control must be present when a shipment to a county dispensary is opened to cer? tify to any breakage of bottles in transit else no claim ofthat kind will be allow? ed by the State Commissioner. 7. All packages containing bottle j of li? quor, wine or beer must be opened care? fully, so as to be 'returned to the State Commissioner without injury, and the same most be shipped back r.t once. Any loss or damage will be charged to the county dispenser. 8. Any liquor not in stock in tbe coun? ty dispensary will be purchased by the State Commissioner on application through county dispenser or furnished from Columbia. 9. If county board of control, or coun? ty dispenser, suspects anyone of in? fringing the law, a State constable will be detailed at once to investigate and make arrests, upon application to tbe Governor. The same will be done when notice comes to the Governor from any reliable citizens. 10. Prices of the various brands of li? quors on sale will be kept.posted in a conspicuous place in each county dispen? sary. Any deviation from these prices, if reported, will cause dismissal of county dispenser. ? II. Dispensaries will not bo established at more than one plaoe in a county until after consultation with tho State board of control and by its permission. 12. The quarterly expense account of each county dispensary must bs approv? ed of each county board and submitted to tbe Stale board for endorsement before it is paid by the county treasurer. Coun? ty dispensers are required to conduct their business with the same economy as similar stores are ran under private ownership. They will be allowed assist? ance only when the magnitude of the business warrants it, and the State board wil? issue the permit to employ a clerk upon a proper showing. IS. Alcohol will be kept in stock at Co? lumbia, or ordered from tbe distillery by the State Commissioner, when the order comes through the count: dispenser for barrel packages. 14. In counties where no dispensaries are or can be established the oounty board of control can receive no compen? sation. Their appointment is for the pur po80 of soliciting their aid in enforcing the law. 15. Any rules fn addition to these for? mulated by a county board, will be sob . m i tied to the State board lor approval be? fore they are enforced. 16. County dispensers may provide re? frigerators and ice witn which to cool beer. Tbe State board will contract for same and then It can be offered direct. P. R. TlLLMAN", Governor, D. A. Townsenp. Attorney Genera], W. H. Ellerbe, Comptroller General, State Board of Control. talking DISPKN'SARY. Governor Tillman was in the humor to talk dispensary to-day, and this evening when I was at the mansion be gave out a talk to be used in connection with other matters given ont to-day and so that ev? eryone may be able to understand the in? tentions of the dispensary management. He has at last given ont tbe official prices ' at which liquor will be sold under the dispensary system. The oheapest whis? key is to be retailed lo tbe customer at $3 per gallon, 75 cents per quart, 40 cents per j pint and 20 cents per half pint, the differ | ence in smaller packages being tbe cost of the packing and glass. This price will apply to both rye and corn and the li? quors sold at S3 will cost $1.50 at tbe dis? tilleries and will be of the best quality obtainable at that price. He went on to say that since he has j been Investigating liquor he has discov? ered two things; first, that but very little honest liquor is sold in this State, very nearly all of it being compounded liquor, and second, through his dealings with glass manufacturers of bottles and flasks that dealers in this Statt have been using flasks from two to eight ounces bo low the legal measurement. Quarts have run twenty-six to twenty-eight ounces when they should have been thirty-two ounces, and smaller flasks show the same proportion. He bad further discovered, be remarked, that nine-tenths of the li? quor sold in this State was from 60 to 90 percent, proof, when it should have been 100. It has been watered, as well as doctored and colored and sugared. Prac? tically none of tbe liquor sold in this State has run over the 00 per cent, proof. The whiskey that will be sold by tbe dispensary will be from 29 to 30 per cent, stronger than that now sold, and there will be an absolutely honest measure I and an absolutely pnre article. "I have j collected about twenty-five samples of li ; quors from different parts of the State, which will be turned over to Dr. Burnoy I for chemical analysis as soon as he has i the time, and we will show the people I what kind of stuff they have been drink? ing," said Governor Tillman. From the talk he has had with men who sell li? quor to dealers in this State he was con? vinced that nine-tenths of the whiskey ! sold in South Carolina is not over two or three mouths old and has not had time to get mellow or lose its injurious proper? ties. When asked what be thought about the opposition to tbe establishment of j dispensaries he replied that "the July sun will evaporate all that," and that be? fore long dispensaries will be establish? ed in all of toe counties, and before Jan nary even in those counties where there is now absolute prohibition. Then I asked him about profits to be had ont of the system, and he replied: "From the best information I have been able to get from a variety of sources there is now over a million gallons of whiskey sold in the State, possibly a million and a half. We estimate that there will be a falling off of about one third in consumption?certainly not over a half. We will get a net profit of one dollar out of every gallon of whiskey sold, and, in addition, a considerable rev? enue from wines, beers, brat dies, etc. It won't cost more than $100,000 to dis? tribute the goods, and it may cost $25,000 to enforce the 'aw." Altogether, he said, the minimum profit would not bo le3S than a half million dollars for tie iii*.t year. . Governor Tillman talked with deter? mination about the enforcement of tha law. He Baid that he had just ordered fifty badges for special constables and de? tectives, and he was going to have a good corps of constables and detectives to make arrests, seize whiskeys and see that the law was properly enforced as well. They will perhaps keep au eye on Iba con nty dispensers, and no doubt also giv?j an eyo to olubs, which be says under Sections 21 and 22 prevent the dispensing or keeping of liquor in a club for use by it? members. When asked about the beer business b-> said : "Our idea is to have samples of all lead ? ing breweries analyzed. Everybody will be given a fair chance, and when selec? tions are made and beer offered on ilia market the labels will be identical, ex? cept as to tbe numbers?that is, No. e will represent the beer of a certaiu brew? er-, and No. 2 of another brewery. The labels will set forth that it is bottled ex? clusively for the South Carolina Statr diiipensary. Beers that have been offer? ed as show a variation of as much as ?3.5C a cask of bottles (ten dozen pints.) Our idea in putting on numbers ia to do away with the difference which long establish? ed reputation has had on many imagina? tions. We propose to let beer, after it has stood the chemical test, stand tbe test of the stomach and do away with an im? aginary superiority. We won't force our people to orink slops because they are msde at home or arc cheap. We will not. buy a high-priced beer because it has a reputation that is not better than a home product. All the beer must stand on its own merits ia tbe market, and will be sold at the uniform price of fifteen cents per bottle. We will encourage it in every way possible, and I hope the Legislature will allow us to put it on draught where it can be obtained cheap. Ice will be used and beer will be sold in a palatable shape. The State board ot control will receive proposals from differ? ent ice companies that choose to compete for the contract to provide ice for the summer for the country dispensers. "Is is the duty of tbe county board of j control to inform themselves as soon as possible as to the kinds and qualities of the liquors, wines, etc., required to meet the demand in their respective Counties, and give the information to tbe State commissioner at as early a date as practi? cable. Regular official orders for liquors must come through the county dispenser in the form of a permit to buy* provided for in Section 10."?Special to Neics and Courier. Widows, Don't Wed! Yesterday a novel question arose in the Comptroller General's office about the right of two widows of Confederate soldiers to pensions. Their first hus? bands were killed during the war. Alter the war they married again?tbe bus bands also being Confederate veterans. The matter was refened to the Attor? ney General who renderod the following opinion: Hon. W. H. Ellerbe, Comptroller Gen? eral. > Dear Sib; In answer to tbe question submitted by you to this office as to whether the widow of a soldier from this State, who lost his life while in the ser? vice of the State or Confederate States in the war between tbe States, forfeits her right to the pension provided by our statute by marrying again, I have the honor to state to you that in my opinion she does. She is entitled to the pension only so long as she remains tbe widow of such deceased soldier. But you make a further supposition as to her rights in case the second husband dies, my answer is thfit this will not restore her to the right to draw the pension. When she marries a second time she ceases in the eyes of tbe law to be the widow of the one who lost his life in tbe war and the death of tbe second husband will not restore her to her former condition. Respectfully your obedient servant, D. A. Townsenp, Attorney General. Finders' Association Organized. The Piedmont Ponltry and pet Stock Association was formed last week by tbe election of tbe following officers : S. T. Lea, of Cokesbnry, president t W. M. Norwood, of Greenville, first vice presi? dent; L, C. Boland, of Prosperity, second vice president; A. S. Briggs, of Summerton, third vice president; R. Y.

Anderson, Greenville ; T. A. Irwin, Spartanburg; E. C. Connor, Cokesbury; J. H. Mounce, Pendileton; Dr. W. C. Irby, Laurens; John L. Jolly, Denver, and Silas J. Mo Caughrin, Newberry. Much interest was manifested by those present all oi whom joined the organiza? tion, and besides paying the membership fee made pledges, payable in October, of various amounts for the purposes of the Association. The annual membership fee was fixed at one dollar aud all fan? ciers desiring to enter the organization are requested to give their names and fee to the secretary and to Bay how far they can otherwise aid the work.

Columbia, May 22.?It is understood that the South Carolina and Richmond & Danville roads will in a few days file their suits against tbe sheriffs for tying-up their trains during the recent tax fight. The Richmond & Danville will make its damages for $33,000 and the South Caro? lina road for $22,000. It is asserted that these ligures are based on tbe actual loss? es of the roads by'the holding of their trams. Mr, Crawford, tbe special lawyer engaged in these coses, will probably en? ter tbe suits. He went to Charleston this afternoon in company with Receiver Oakman. ".hey will go from Charleston to Atlanta, where the fight for tb.e remov-! al of Receiver Comer is to be made. At? torney General Townsend hits not yet re? ceived any intimation about the damage suits and "thinks that tbe railroads bad better get through with their other cases before they begin on a new tack. Sheriff Nance has not yet - paid his fine to the Court, and tbe Court will no doubt in a few days order an execution against him or his official bond. Governor Till? man does not expect to give tbe record breaking sheriff any financial assistance and be will have to help himself out of the hole.?Special to News and Courier. Yitrloll in her Face. Toccoa, Ga., May 9.?Fannie Denbam, a white woman, in a fit of jealousy this afternoon, threw a bottle of vitrioil in tbe face of Erank Hughes' wife, completely destroying one eye and disfiguring her face end neck forever.' Mrs. Hughes was other home on Cnr rahee street when the Den ham woman rode up on a horse and called her out. She offered her a bottle of peach cider and ipvited her to take a drink. This was refused, She then asked Mrs. Hughes to arrange her riding habit. Mrs. Hughes proceed? ed to do so when Mrs. Denbam produced a bottle of vitrioil and hurled its entente into tbe face of her unsuspecting victim, and putting spur to the horse, she fled rapidly, but was Boon captured by Mar? shals Jackson and Gribble, Medical aid was summoned for Mrs. Hughes. Dr. J. N. West promptly re? sponded, dressed the wound and* ana? lyzed tbe bottle of cider which bad been dropped on the ground by Mrs. Denbam in her flight, and found it heavily charged with strychnine. The prisoner waived trial and was carried to jail in default of a $750 bond. Frank Hughes, the husband of the in? jured girl, who is only about seventeen years old and very pretty, was a brick mason and reports say was on decidediy intimate terms with the Denbam woman before he married about two months ago. His marriage so infuriated the woman she determined to have revenge, Mrs. Hughes' condition at present is favora? ble.? Atlanta Constitution. ..Curfew Rings Again. Toronto, May 20.?The old custom of ringing the curfew in tbe evening has been revived in all the villages of Can? ada. An act passed at tbe last session of the Dominion Parliament provides that at nine o'clock the curfew shall be rung, and if any persons undet seventeen years of age are found op the streets they shall be locked up. Unless a satisfactory explanation can be given the parents must suffer either by confinement in jail, fine, or by send? ing the children to some public institu? tion where they will be taken care of until tbe authorities see fit to let them out. The act is meeting with favor all over Canada. ? The New York World claims that tbe officials of tho State department ex? pect a claim for damages from China on account of the Geary Act. It is said that Minister Isui Kwo Yin rogards the Act as a violation of ihe treaty botwoen tho two Governments, and that he will make a claim for damages and auk that it be submitted to international arbitra? tion. IU?E WORKERS TO THE FRONT. A<l<lre&ii ot the Wnge Workers Leugne to the People of South Carolina. Columbia, S. C, May 1!).?Tho Indus? trial and Wage Workers' League has made preparations to begin its campaign of political education. A bureau of infor? mation is to bo established in Columbia, and under tho direction of the officers circulate good, sound Democratic doc? trine. The purposes of tho League have, in many instances, been misconstrued, whether intentionally or not is unknown. So, to settle the matter, and givo the position and intentions of tho organiza? tion, the following statement was this morning prepared aud giveu out by the advisory committee: address of tiie league. Fully to appreciate the plan of the "In? dustrial and Wage Workers' Democratic League" it is essential that its purpose be clearly explained. Those who take physic are ordinarily actuated by a conviction of the existence of so mo malady, for which the medicinb is taken as a remedy or euro. In nature there are certain inexorable laws which may not be transgressed without conse? quences so evil as to defy tbo skill of science to counteract, leaving the trans? gressor without hope of pardon or mercy. Few would complain if the ills of such transgression fell solely upon the trans? gressor, but such is not the case; through generations the innocent must sutler the consequences of bis guilt and folly. As the maintenances of a healthy natu? ral existence is conditioned upon an ob? servance of the vital laws of nature, so also does a sound political existence depend upon an adherence to those fun? damental principles upon which the poli cal institutions of a free people must be based; principles which recognize the existence of inherent rights, which may 3pt be set aside by majorities; principles 'ithin the operation of which "equal and exact justice" shall be meted out to the weak as well as the strong, to the poor as well as the rich, to tho few as well as the many, by a judiciary composed of men of the most profound wisdom, exalted integrity and" unquestioned honor, who shall be completely disassociated and re? moved from these influences which bear upon our human frailties; principles the very essence of the wisdom, righteous? ness and equity of which is embodied in the restraining power of the Executive veto and tho judicial verdict, through which alone the great pendulum of popu? lar passion and partisan zeal can be made to vibrate within its proper limits ; prin? ciples which constitute the pillars of that Democracy which has beeu and which must be the refuge of the "plain people" of our country. democracy should be bestored, Feeling that these underlying princi? ples had been violated through the enact? ment of laws undertaking to tax inequi? tably, and therefore unjustly, and with? out representation, corporate capital, upon which depends the very bread of a large number of the citizens of this State ; and, further through the incorporation into such unjust and inequitable laws of a clause specifically denying the inherent and constitutionally guaranteed right of appeal to the Courts, a number of citizens assembled to protest against the passage of such laws as well as to call in question certain other proceedings, hereinafter referred to, which were held tobe unjust, and therefore unlawful, and being unlaw? ful, necessarily undemocratic. Believ? ing that the principles of Democracy are sound and sufficiently broad to cover a polioy wisely and flexibly adaptable to the conditions which may arise, und be? lieving that these principles bad been violated through the passage of laws in? consistent therewith; and regarding the policy of the present Administration as unwise, intemperate and partisan, and therefore inconsistent with the principles of Democracy, and unjust as well as in? jurious to many of the citizens of this State engaged in various industrial occu? pations, especially to such as were wage workers, the "Industrial and Wage Workers' Demqcratic League" was or? ganized to remedy, if possible, these abuses by appealing to the reason of the people. white people must rule. "It is a condition, not a theory, whioh confronts us" when we assert the neces? sity of maintaining the supremacy of the white people in the political control of the affairs of this State; and it is obvious to all that this can only be done by main? taining the integrity of the Democratic Earty. Is the present political situation opefully indicative of such a result? Is it not evident to all that the present intensity of feeling which divides the ? white people of the State will culminate ; sooner or later in an appeal to the negro, i unless a more rational condition can be I brought about? Is it not equally clear ; to intelligent citizens that tho schism I amongst our people is due loss to issues ; than to individualities? aud more to I "isms" than to ideas ? Is it not also true j that the integrity of the Democratic par ; ty, and the supremacy of the white peo f pie, is menaced through the incorpora? tion of ideas of questionable merit savor? ing of Ocala and Omaha ? Can men con? sistently serve two ma3ters? I? not our present unfortunate status due in part, at least, to a straying away from the true principles of Democracy, and a leaning toward the chimerical and deceptive ten? dencies of Socialism in disguise? Is it not a fact that the real cause of antago? nism exists in the unpatriotic hearts and unscrupulous tongues and peps of those whose bread and butter conies to them as .he fruit of passions aud prejudices which they have excited among us? Shall we continue to elect. Legislatures which, so lar from representing the in? dustries ot the State, are, in large meas? ure at least, monuments of iucompetcn cy aud vicious ignorance? Shall weoon tluue to elevate to the highest positions in our gilt men whose m kids are poison? ed with partisan zeal to a degree which renders them incapable of appreciating their constitutional functions in the in? terest of the euaran teou rights of citizens? A zeal equalled only by the arrogance with which are set forth the grounds of the political ineligibility of individuals who assert their rights as Democrats and exercise their privileges as Americans. Will the thoughtful citizen hold himself blameless, if, rather than concede an iota to those who may differ, he shall con? tinue, at be<--t, to hold the raiment of those who, from whatsoever point they may be viewed, or to whatsoever faction they may profess allegiance, inflamed with passion and conceit, are inciting their iellow citizens to a war which can only result in financial depression and Industrial disaster ? the people must AtfSWEB. These questions oan only be answered by the people, and the .""esponsibility of the reply rests primarily upon those who regard themselves as uien of intelligence and integrity, capable of discerning what is just and unwilling to do an injustice. The farmers are in the majority, there? fore a greater responsibility rests upon the farmer than upon any other citizen. The "Industrial and Wage Workers' Democratic League" iR in favor of retir? ing those partisan fire-brands aud politi? cal fossils who protrude their unwelcome presence into the reasonable councils of the people, and continually snatch tbo pipe of peace from our mouths; is in .favor of taking from their unhallowed hands and burying forever the hatchet with which thev have been, and still are, ?calping our domestic peace and indus? trial prosperity ; is willing and anxious io vote for farmers to fill overy position in the gift of the people to which they oan reasonably lay claim, provided they are honost and intelligent men, good oitizens and unchallenged Democrats, men who, when elected, will legislate wisely and execute justly in the interest of alf the people of the State. Nominate a majority of such farmers, and a minor? ity representing all other industries in vhe State; permit us to vote for and rea? son with you, and the verdict will be such as to guarantee to the humblest citizen that "equal and exact justice" which is tho foundation of Democracy and without which the claim of "Demo? cracy" is a misnomer and a fraud. Lofr as have done with "Haskellism and ?'Tillmanjsm" and "Individualism," and <et us turn to the "issues" upon tho ..?ational consideration of which tho peace und industrial prosperity of the pooplo of South Carolina depend, the sole aim op the league, To accomplish this end, by assisting to elect men of merit and integrity sufficient to command the confidence and respect of the whole people, u the sole aim and object of the "Industrial and Wage Workers' Deraooratio League." Where pood men aud Bound Democrats are nominated by tbo farmers the League will support the best man and tho sound? est Democrat. As an organization we will make no nominations unless the necessity be forced upon us through the nomination by other? of men of question? able integrity, rocoguiaod incapacity or uncortain Democracy. No man can be a Democrat who openly declines to recognize the just rights of the minority, cr who undertakes to curtail the inhe? rent rights of citizens belonging to that minority. Neithor can men claim to bo Democrats and withhold recognition of tho right, as well as tho wisdom, of hav? ing every industry, as far as practicable, represented in the law-making branch of government, Tho "Industrial and Wage Workers' Democratic League" is in favor of a government composed of legislative, executive and judicial departments, a 1 minister od by men who recognize lb) right and wisdom of auch principles as conditions of their Democracy. Thus will tbe material resources of the State be brought out aud developed through the establishment of industries giving em? ployment to the surplus population and ;< market to the surplus products of the State. This can only be done under the' auspices of a govern mout which is based upon sound and just principles and actuated by wise and liberal policies, policies which will insure to all classes of citizens the fullest measure of oppor? tunity by opening up new and strength? ening old industrial enterprises, in tbe development and extension of which free labor shall be freed from the degrading competition with lelons, leaving such labor to bo utilized in the development of conditions outside the limits of taxa? tion. The advisory committee, which was almost complete at the meeting, wishes to make the emphatic statement that it has no organ, and that when it does have one there will be no question about it, as it will be under the entire control of the committee. For the present circulars will be used. The committee is surprised and gratified with the reception given the Wage Workers' League. Refused a Pardon. Michigan City, Ino., May 15.?Robert Robinson, better known as "Old Bob," a life convict in the Northern Prison, died Friday night at the age of 80. Robinson was notorious throughout all the north? ern part of Indiana among the thousands of excursionists who annually visit the prison as perhaps the first one on record who positively refuaed a pardon, and regarded the prison as an acceptable borne. Robinson was sent to the prison at Jeffersonville, Ind.. in 1857, from Wayne County to serve a lifo sentence for mur? der. After serving two years there he was transferred with others to this city to assist in building tbe Northern Prison. After this labor was finished he worked on contracts until he grew old and then, du ring tbe wardenship of the late Charles Mayne in the seventies, he became a "trusty" and farm hand. As he advanc? ed in age his oddities grew upon him. Early in bis prison career bo formed a strong attachment for dumb animals and made pets of dog?, rabbits, squirrels and foxes. He also developed into a great hunter and trapper, and would frequently turn his skill to financial account. Once during tbe Mayne regime Bob got lost while hunting in Porter County, west of tbe city, and actually hired a man to bring him'baok to prison. In 1877 Governor Williams offered Robinson a pardon, bnt the prisoner re? jected it. Another time, when James Murdock, of Lafayette, was warden eight or ten years ago, Bob's conduct was par? ticularly disagreeable, and tbe warden threatened to have him pardoned upon the occasion of a certain visit of the Governor to the prison. When the Gov? ernor arrived Old Bob became so indig? nant that he called his dog and went to the woods until the executive had depart? ed. Bob never missed a circus that came to town. On such occasions he enshrouded himself in a long, heavy ulster to conceal his stripes, and notwithstanding the high temperature, the man extracted his full measure of enjoyment from the show. It was only when be was particularly pleased that he would speak in other than monosyllables, but when any one talked circus or dog to him he would be affability Itself. The dead prisoner had outlived all his known relatives, and the funeral will be held at an undertaking room in this city. Tbe service will be public, and will be conducted by the prison chaplain. The prisoner left about ?6i), which ho secured bartering with excursionists, and War? den Freuch will apply the amount to tbe erection of a small monument to mark the old man's grave in the prison ceme? tery. Both Ears Cat off. Another dark case has come to light in the annals of crime, and another chap? ter is recorded in the black book of "Vengeance." A negress named Mc Grath claimed that another dusky dam? sel had stolen her husband's affections, and she swore dire revenge on bor ene? my. She planned to have both ears of her rival, and successfully carried her threat into exeoution. She went to the woman's house, threw" her upon the floor and ccomplished her purpose. The affair occurred about eight miles south of Newberry. Tbe work seems to bavo been done de? liberately and premeditatively, as tbe wronged woman told the wronger that she bad come to cut her oars off smooth? ly, aod when the amputation was com? pleted it was shown that the avenger meant business?tbe ears were whacked off right up against tbe victim's head. Tbe woman who did tbe cutting first raked the back of her knife against her victim's throat, as she held her body on the floor, to make her take her hands from her ears, which she h$d coyered for protection. The out woman was told by the outter why it was done. It will thus be seen that the avenging woman did not desire the death of her victim, when the wrong act of the one would be forgotten in the grave and the crime of the other swallowed up in the gallows. The woman bent on revenge seems to have realized this. She wanted her enpray to Ijirp a.Pd snfller, so she pool? ly and thoughtful.y and with presence of mind, under great provocation, but nev? ertheless wilfully, feloniously and with malice aforethought, maimed her for life so that she might carry the ear-marks of her guilt wherever she went. She should show to tbe world what the cost is to alienate a husband's love?even "in dark? est Africa." The strangest part of the case is that tbe earless woman refuses to institute pro? ceedings against her assailant, and has left tbe scenes of her former triumphs and conquests.?Newberry Herald. A Mule With a Record. Frepriclsbdrg, Va., May 2Q.?Mr. Philip S- Honey, a former, who lives in Stafford copnty, a tew miles from this ciiy, is an ardent Confederate and still the proqd owner of the mule, now thirty eight years old. he rode all through the war, as a member of the Ninth Virginia Cavalry. He traded a horse for this mule soon after entering tbe army, when tbe mule was seven yeaas old, and from that time until the close of the war he and his faith? ful beast shared many harsh ips. They were together at the battles of Gettys? burg, Cedar mountain, Brandy Station, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, Richmond, Petersburg, Stoney Creek and other en? gagements of less prominence, and sur? rendered at Appomattox. Tbe mule shows the marks of time; but notwith? standing her advanced age, is still strong and active and eats well. She does light work regularly, but is blind in one eye, and some of her teeth are gone. There is no question as to the identity of this mule. That is thoroughly estab? lished, and the animal and its owner, be? tween whom there exists a strong at? tachment, have been objects qf interest to the people of this section for years, An effort Is being made to induce Mr. Honey to take the mule to Richmond by rail and ride her in the parade when tbe remains of Jefferson Davis, the dead President of tho Confederacy, will be in? terred in beautiful Hollywood cemetery of that city, May 21st. There has also boon some talk of tak? ing the mule to Chicago and exhibiting her in a tent during the World's Fair, Joined to His Idol. An appeal to tbe cotton planters of tbe South to "reduce the cotton acreage" this year was made by the Cotton Dealers' Convention held in Memphis. A similar appeal was made last year, and also tho year before ; but not one of these suc? cessive appeals has been heeded by tbe planters. From the cotton crop report of the department of agriculture lor May we get information about this year's planting. The acreage planted up to the opening of this month in eleven of the Southern States was well up to the average of pre? vious years, and the acreage was in? creased in six of tbe States, Tbe plant? ers everywhere appear to be willing, year after year, to take tho risks of a sur? plus crop and a falling market. In tbe appeal of the Memphis Convention they were reminded of the low prices that prevailed during the greater part of last year, and of the ever-increasing compe? tition between tbe cotton planters of this country and those of other countries. They wore also urged to raiee their own supplies of cereals, meats and hay in? stead of buying thorn in the Northwest. But these cotton planters continue to plant all they can, in tbe belief that they understand their own interests, and in the knowledge that It is not easy to make those changes which have been repeated? ly suggested by the dealers.?ivaty York Sun._ ?

LOOAJy NEWS. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Squire Few el Tells of His Recent Trip. The best way to find out that you have Um liest country?that is, the most pro? ductive, the most prosperous, and tho most progressive in the State?is to start out and travel through a few of tho other Counties, and you will come back con? vinced. Don't stay at home all your lifo and mourn and grieve because you can't go to all the good places you hear of, but strike out and look at some of them, and I'll bet a wooden fourpence you come back satisfied to stay where you are? that is if you live in Anderson County. I took a little trip off through Green? ville, Spartanburg, York and a corner of Union a few days ago, and I was sup prised to see the difference in tho crops of those Counties and that of Anderson. I didn't know that our County was so much better, but it's so aud we can't help it, and we don't want to if we could. Greenville shows up a little better than the rest of them, but ours is the best of all. Cotton predominates to a considerable extent in the above named Counties over all other crops put together?yes, I would venture to say, that in Spartanburg there is more acres in cotton than there is in corn, wheat, oats, aod I tell you that won't do. It will bankrupt any farmer to make cotton to buy his provisions and horse feed with. I don't think the far? mers as a goneral rule are doing as well along the line I have traveled as they were three or four years ago. You can tell this without going out in the farming communities. You can seethe effects of their lack of prosperity by going through the towns. Some of the "reformers" attribute this to lack of patronage of the country people to the towns and cities to their prosperity?that they have become more independent and don't have to go to the merchant for bis goods, but that is a sad mistake, for I never have seen the time yet when if people have anything to buy withtheydon'tmakeuseofit. We all buy more when we feel like wo can stand it?when we have made good crops and realized good prices for thom than we do in adverse circumstances. If you take a hale of cotton to town and get ten cents per pound for it and it weighs five hundred pounds, that brings you fifty dollars, but if you only get seven and three-eights, it's only thirty six dollars and eighty-seven and one bait cents. There is thirteen dollars and twelve and one-half cents differ?nce in the money received without there being any difference in the cost of its produc? tion to the farmer. So you see if there is a profit in cotton at ton cents?and there is?there can't be much profit in it at seven or eight cents unless the farmer will nuke all of his provisions for his family and feed for his stock at home, with a little ofthat to sell, then his cotton money comes in on the balanco sheet as net profit. This all the farmers will tell you and abont one in fifty will adopt it. As I was going to say, when the farmer has made his corn, wheat and meat at home and has good fat sleek horses and mules and a few pigs to squeal and warn bim of the approaching November cold wind and the cows' lowing lor the merry milk maid (with the peach and rose on her cheeks and a muscle in her arm sufficient for any emergency) to come and relieve her of her burden of milk, and the sheep a bleating for his evening meal of cotton seed, and chickens, turkeys and ducks swariningnround a well filled corn crib for their ration of corn before retir? ing for the night, and with a general merry prattle all around, why then he don't mind spending his profits in cotton freely nor will he parley with the mer? chant long about the price of a new dress or hat for his wife, Now, gentlemen of the jury, I have seeu just such a phenom? enon right here in this County, and it could be at every farm in the County as easy as it oan be in one or a few. That is no ideal figure drawn, but is taken from actual facts. So let us progress and be happy, All we lack is a willing mind. We have all the natural resources at hand. Let us go to work and utilize our superior advantages, then others will tollow suit. Don't wait for Governor Tillman and the "reform movement" to Eass laws to make you prosperous and appy. You will have do your part or it won't be done. Andrew Adkins and Miss Lida Bell were united in the holy bonds of matri? mony on Thursday, 18th inst., the Rev. C. L. Stewart officiating. Crops are doing well since it has turn? ed warmer. Wheat is looking better, but I don't think there will be many oats made, not about here nor anywhere else I have been. Cotton begins to show some in the heat of the day. We are almost, done planting corn, but don't forget what I told you some time ago. keep on planting little rich patches until the middle of June in corn. It makes good late roasting-ears aud is mighty good to have to cut down and feed to stock, and don't cost muob. I bad the pleasure of meeting that genial old patriarch?one of the old land marks of our County?the venerable Capt. Micajah Williams a few days ago. It is a great pleasure to us to meet one of those old time-honored citizens?one who has lived through two or three genera? tions and has kept apace with all the im? provements ana progress of the times. Yes, it is instructive and comforting to our minds to converse with suoh intelli? gent patriarchs as Capt, Williams, I wish I could have some such to converse with oitener. I don't think that the peo? ple who are so favored as to have a few intelligent old citizens right at them where they see them everyday appreciate their advantage until they have passed away and are forever gone. Then they are brought face to face with tho fact that they have lost a gem. Long may the Capt. live and enjoy good health. I will give the boys a problem to solve, which is this: 1 have a ditch one hun? dred rods long, which I agree to give one hundred dollars for cutting. A. agrees to do fifty dollars worth at one dollar and a quarter per rod, and B. agrees to do fifty dollars at seventy-five cents per rod. How many rods wilt each have to cut ? You see a rod at one dollar and a quarter, and a rod at seventy-five cents will make it cost one dollar, If you oan't get the answer to the above problem I want to know why. Squire Fewel. Piedmont, S. ft, May 22,1893. Flashes From Shlloh. Mr. Andrew Adkins and Miss Lida Bell werp married on the 18th inat. We wish them much joy and prosperity in their journey through this rugged life. Cut worms are damaging the orops very badly in some places, The young ladies Debating Soolety is in full blast. They have a good subject for discussion at the next meeting. It is, "How to oure a young man of bashful ness." We know it will be ably discussed. We would give a day's hoeing to get to hear it. Mr. Boyd preached one of the ablest sermons last Sunday it has been our privi? lege to hear. His theme was on the train? ing of a child. The boys try tp see how much they can cut one soother out. One of the Pierce town boys was in town Sunday looking just as nappy as a frost bitten tomato. Some of the boys beat him out. Try I again. i We think it is time to see about a school. We have the material to make a good school. Brethren, won't some of you take hold of this matter and get up a school to start about the middle of July? We can't afford to Jet our children grow up in ignorance. Remember what the preacher said last Sunday. I hope some of you will take hold right away and get a school. Country Crackeb. Extortion at Chicago. Not all these persons aro extortionate, but some of them have given a bad name to all the rest, till it has gone abroad that no man can eat in a World's Fair res? taurant unless he suffer the waiter to go through his pockets while the meal is In progress. This evil promptly brings its own oure, Tho American people are pretty good-natured, but they disliko robbery when they aro the robbed. We find, accordingly, in the first week of the Fair visitors bringing their own lun? cheons to the Fair in parcels, boxos aud baskots. Good for tho lunch carriers! It is not pleasant feeding, this basket picnic business, but it is better than stalled ox and robbery therewith. We hope to see this practice grow and in? crease. Let no man, or woman either, hold it a disgrace to carry a lunch baskot to tho Fair. On the contrary, let him or her peroh on the steps of the nigh-priced restaurateurs und flaunt eoonomy, good senso and Independence in the faco of extortion. A little of this treatment will have a wholesome effeot. A similar fate awaits some extortionate hotel-keepers In various parts of the city, who have put their prices up out of reason and pre? pared to rob their guests at every turn. It will dawn upon these worthies Boonor or later that they aro outting their own throats.?Chicago Evening Post. ? Mrs. Fannie Ragland, of Richmond, Ya., has secured a verdict of ?150,000 damages against the dry goods firm of Woodward & Lotbrop, Washington, D. C, by whom sho was charged with steal? ing a silver napkin ring while shopping in their store. Wide Open on Sundays. Chicago, May 19.?Tho directors of the World's Columbian Exposition de? cided to-day to abrogate their contracts with Congress, by which thoy bound themselves to close the Fair on Sunday in consideration of an appropriation of $2.f>00,000. The money will be returned lo tbe government, and hereafter the fair will be open Sundays. The course was decided upon at a spe? cial meeting of the directors this after? noon. Most of the directors were dissat? isfied with tho plan adopted bt their la>t meeting, by which it was proposed to open the grounds Sundays, while closing all tho buildings containing exhibits. To-day's action was praeticallj' unani? mous, but 2 directors out of 37 voted against tho proposition. By tho terms ot tho resolution, adopted to-day, the machinery will be closed down on Sundays, but in every other respect the Fair will be open in all departments, the samo on the secular days. But $1,9211,120 of the appropriation or? iginally made by Congress has beon turned over to tho Exposition company, and this amount is to be returned to the National Treasury after the debts of the Exposition have been paid. A rule em? bodying these points will be submitted to the national commission for approval. What action this body will take is prob? lematical, as a mere working quorum of members is at present in the city. In any event, it is the evident purpose of the local directors to open the Fair Sun? days, even at the expense of a rupture with the national body. ? At the Oakwood Memorial celebra? tion in Richmond the other day Gen. Fitz Lee said that a monument should be erected to "the noble women who watch? ed by the bedside of the sick and dying Confederate soldiers." ? Ill health has obliged Philip D. Ar? mour, the rich Chicago pork packer, to restrict his diet to bread and milk. This would be a sad affliction to most mil? lionaires, but Mr. Armour probably doesn't mind it, for he preserves many of the simple habits of his farm boy days. He has never cultivated his palate to an appreciation of ortolans and truffles, and he likes a baked apple for breakfast as much as Jay Gould or Heury Ward Beecher used to. ? Miss Jennie Young, the American girl who built a railroad to the extensive salt deposits she owns in Chihuahua, has received from the Mexican Government a valuable concession in the form of a privilege for the establishment of colo? nies in the States of Chihuahua, and Coahulla. Miss Young has gone to Eng? land to make arrangements for bringing over several thousand English families to settle upon the lands she has secured from the Government. ? The well-known missionary, J. S. Baldwin, a conceded authority on all Chinese matters, says that if the provis? ions of the Exclusion Act be enforced the Chinese Government will retaliate by deporting Americans from that coun? try. Such a course would work great hardship to the many American mer? chants and business men residing in the Celestial Empire and would destroy at one blow the fabric, at best insubstan? tial, which the Christian missionaries have been rearing for so many years. ? Delaware keeps np tbe good old tra? ditions. On Saturday last seven white men and one negro were whipped by Sheriff Gould at Newcastle. The victims were: John Fitzgerald, of Troy, N.

Willis, for lar? ceny, each fifteen lashes and one year in prison; William Scanlon, larceny of iron, five lashes, and William Hamil? ton, colored, who stole a sheep, twenty lashes. ? The canning industry is making rapid strides in Georgia, which the At? lanta Constitution attributes to tbe ex? ceptional opportunities which the State offers in the shape of cheap raw material. The Constitution mentions twenty facto? ries in various parts of the State* already in successful operation, whilst factories are contemplated at more than twenty cities and towns. ""It is believed," says the Constitution, "that in the course of a few years Georgia will produce annually about 10,000,000 cans of peaches. There is money in the business, and with such an industry in full blast several valuable crops will be saved and marketed at good prices instead of being allowed to rot on tbe ground, as is the case now in many localities." What is Your Prospect for Fruit? V The Jersey Fruit Journal tells us that we are to have the biggest fruit crop ever known in this country. Already arrangements are being made for the largest Canning business ever recorded. What are yon going to do in the matter? Juet your fruit fall and rot on the ground aud buy of your neigh? bor or grocer ? No! You can't af? ford it. Better, by far, "let each tub stand on its own bottom." Can your own fruit, Be sure to Can what you need for home use. Then, if you have time, Can some to sell your improvident neighbors. There are always sure to be some who never prepare for the future. They are like the drones in a bee hive. Some one else must furnish bread, for their mouth and oil for their vessels. "\yiiy not you ? Bight here let us say a word that will save a few cans of fruit and a great deal of vexation ; If you want to use your old jars, get new rubbers for them, The rubbers cost you very little, and you will not regret the out? lay. Your fruit may keep with old rubbers, but it is much safer with clean new ones. Get the original and genuine MA? SON JAR, and trust to the good sense of your thrifty wife for the bal? ance, and you'll be sure to have plenty to eat next Winter, if you never have it again.
