It is strange, but some ; ? of the Western and Southern Democrats are doing the same thing themselves. m? m, ,mm ?K^-Tha attendance at the World's Fa?r so far In is been disappointingly light. The average attendance since the Fair opened baa been about 33,000 a day. This falls far abort of the mark necessary to meet th? expenses of the exposition. It takes fiOjOCOa day to run this big show and that moans 90,000 pild admissions. Secretary Carlisle flatly refused the demand: of the New York bankers for an issue of Government bonds, and in spite of their conspiracy to raid the Treasury by shipping gold abroad his gold reserve is now intact The "financiers" who have been in the habit of running the Federal. Treasury (is a sort of annex to their own business have been taught a much-needed lesson. The Pickens Sentinel says that during the Gimpaign last years Tillman man proposed to a Sheppard man that if Till v man was elected and there was not better time* and better, laws than bad been before he wonld treat to a gallon of "good ?- corn j nice." Not long since the Tillman * man sent for the Sheppard man to come and get his treat; that he had given it up - that the times nor ilaws were any better. Senator Hoar said recently that he i -000101.001 recall a time when there was so | little party .bitterness and sectional estrangement la the .country. It seems to him a veritable era of good feeling, and ha promises that the Republicans in tho Senate will, not disturb it by any fac 1 tious opposition to Mr. Cleveland. "We ' will," be announces, "to the best of our power, make it easier for him to do right and harder for him to-do wrong." At the primary election in Anderson County last ?ugest the vote on the pro? hibition question was aa follows: For prohibition,-2,300; against prohibition, 1.037; a majority of 1,263 for prohibition. ; From tbis vote it seems that the people o^Atftferson County are in favor of pro Ibition, and the freeholders of the city, in reihsing to sign a petition for the ,.* ? establisnmen- of a dispensary, will be carrying. out tho wishes of the people of : the County.. The New York Journal says the pension frauds are gradually coming to light A whole nest of them have j us t been discov? ered in the office of a Virginia attorney, / and it is believed 'that others will soon be discovered. Forged affidavits appear s*^q-haye been tho sans used for doing Uncle Sam out of uis coin. If tho prose . cations are rigorous, much good may re? sult from these discoveries. Before the present administration retires from of _- fiee millions will probably have been v saved by the sifting out of the false pen - sioners. * - m* ?> mm, f-rr The Columbia Journal says the value cf\ the raw cotton consumed in South Carolina by her own mills in 1691-92 was ??$8,821,-ISO. The value of tbis cotton in finished material is 927,285,920. The mills have,therefore added to the wealth of the . State over ^1,000,000 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 . of tho mills have realized paying mar \fceta for their poultry, dairy and vegeta? ble productions. The Columbia correspondent of the Neurs ard Courier says It is understood that tho So?th Carolina and Richmond and Danville Railroads will in a few days file their suits against the Sheriffs for tying up their trains during the recent tax fight. The Richmond and Danville will make its damages for $33,000, and 'the South Carolina Road for ?22,000. It is asserted that these figures are based on tho actoal losses of the roads by the holding of their trains. Mr. Crawford, the special lawyer engaged in these cases, -will probably enter the suits. We agree ith Attorney General Townsend when e says the railroads had batter get ugh with their other cases before Ihey begin on a new tack. ; Conspiracy charges which have been commonly made of late against com nations of employers and unions of orking men have been a bug-a-boo to labor movement for years, princi [y because neither side seemed to thoroughly anderstand just what con? spiracy was or how charges affecting it onld lie. The question has even as? sumed a ludicrous phase in recent con? troversies, some disgruntled labor leaders .contending that the Judges themselves were 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 trouble* is not more uniformly laid down and l':ore generally understood. A few days ago in New York the Rev. Dr. J. S. Baldwin, for twenty-two years a Methodist missionary in China, and for - nearly a quarter of a century secretary of the missionary board of the Methodist, Episcopal Chcrcb, which has a large '?moneyed interest in China, said that they had positive information, from dignitaries of the Chinese government and from his own Chinese' missionaries, that if the Chinese exclusion act is carried into ? effect and the Chinese are shipped from this country to China, deported because they are simply here without taking out - certificates, that Americans in China will l^e 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 Hoose 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 up ' the committees of the House without ' considering particular obligations to any of its mom bars. Whatever obligations be may haye felt to those who made him Speaker two years ago have been dis - charged, so that they need not feel 'flighted if they do not get as prominent places as they have held during the past two years. His purpose, it is under? stood, is to make a general and complete reorganization of the committees and to ?o. constitute the more important .ones as to make it certain that the measures for tariff reform, pension reform, financial reform and civil service reform, recom? mended by the Administration, shall be given every possible advantage. Judge Simonton's decision in the case of H. A. M. Smith vs. Joseph Bivens, which was filed in Charleston last Satur? day, declares the act of 1891, which ex? empts certain portions of Colleton County from the operations of the stock law, un? constitutional. The casa is a peculiar one. The plaintiff owns about thirty-two thousand acres of land in Colleton Coun? ty, which is only suitable for grazing purposes. When he purchased it the law required all persons to fence their stock and the plaintiff, therefore, received a per capita from the defendant and others for tho "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 others 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 injunc? tion against them. Judge Simon ton grants the injunction, without damages, and his opinion declares the act uncon? stitutional._ TUE LiW OF THE DISPENSARY. Rules Fixed by the State Hoard of Con? trol. Columbia, May 20.?One drink a day, no matter what its size, is the order of tho State board of whiskey control. It has- to be taken before 6 o'clock in the evening, except in cases of sickness. The bo-rd is setting a premium on temporary illness. The regulations for the dispen? saries are full of unique features and are sure to be carefully studied by prospec? tive patronizers of the branches of the State bar rooms. They read as fol? io v-'s: 1. Coonty 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 arooud a county dispensary. 3. When the applicant for tho purchase of liqnor is unable to write he or she can makes cross mark, and the* same at? tested by the county dispenser will be received as if made in accordance with the Act. Applications must not be filled for one person offener than once a day. 4? 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? sons known to said dispenser or his identity is established to his satisfaction, 5. County dispensers can carry on their legitimate business in connection with I he sale of liquors in the same store by paying a proportionate share of the roc t, but this does not affect the time of dosing 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 of that kind will be allow? ed by the State Commissioner. 7. All packages containing bottles of li? quor, wine or beer must be opened care? fully, so es 'to be - returnee! to the State Commissioner without hijury, and the same most be shipped back at once. Any loss or damage will be charged to the county dispenser. 8. Any liqnor not in stock in the coun? ty dispensary will be purchased by the State Commissioner on application through coonty dispenser or furnished .from Colombia. 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 the Governor. The same will be done whsn notice comes to the Governor from any reliable citizens. 10. Prices of the various brands of li? quors on sale wild, be kepi, posted in a conspicuous place in each county dispen? sary. Any deviation from these prices, if reported, will cause dismissal of county dispenser. i II. Dispensaries will not bo established at more than one place in s, county nntil after consultation with the State board of control and by its permission. 12. The quarterly expense account of each county dispensary must be approv? ed of each county board and submitted to the State 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 run under private ownership. They will be allowed assist? ance only when the magnitude of the business warrants it, and the State board will issue the permit to employ a clerk upon a proper showing. 13. Alcohol will be kept in stock at Cor lum'bia, or ordered from the distillery by the State Commissioner, when the order comes through the county dispenser for barrel packages. 14. In counties where no dispensaries are or can ba established the county board of control can receive no compen? sation. Their appointment is for the pur {joso of soliciting their aid in enforcing he law. 15. Any rules in addition to these for? mulated by a county board, vill be sob . mitted to the State board for approval be? fore they are enforced. 16. County dispensers may provide re? frigerators and Ice with which to cool beer. The State board will contract for same and then it can be offered direct. B. R. TjLLMAN, Governor, D. A. To wf send. Attorney General, W. H. 15lIiEp.be, Comptroller General, State Board of Control. TALKING DISPENSARY. Governor Tillman was in the humor to talk dispensary to-day, and this evening when I was at the mansion he gave out a talk to be used in connection with other matters given out 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 the official prices at which liquor will be sold under the dispensary system. The cheapest whis? key is to be retailed lo the customer at $3 per gallon, 75 cents per quart, 40 cents per pint and 29 cents per halt pint, the differ? ence in smaller packages being the cost of the packing and glass. This price will apply to both rye and corn and the li? quors sold at 88 will cost $1.50 at the dis? tilleries and will be of the best quality obtainable at that price. He went on to say (bat since he has been investigating liquor ho 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 Stats have been using flasks from two to eight ounces be? 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 had further discovered, he 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 the liquor sold in this State has run over the 90 per cent, proof. The whiskey that will be sold by the dispensary will be from 29 to 30 per cent, stronger than that now sold, and there will be an absolutely honest measure and an absolutely pure article. "I have collected about twenty-five samples of li? quors from different parts of the State, which will be turned over to Dr. Burney for chemical analysis as soon as he has the time, and we will show the people 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 months old and ban not had time to get mellow or lose its injurious proper? ties. When asked what be thought about the opposition to the establishment of dispensaries he replied that "the July sun will evaporate all that," and that be? fore long dispensaries will be establish? ed in all of tue counties, and before Jan? uary even in those counties where there is now absolute prohibition. Then I asked him about profits to be had out 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 i dollar out of every gallon of whiskey sold, and, in addition, a considerable rev? enue from wines, beers, brandies, etc. It won't cost more than $100,000 to dis? tribute the goods, and it may cost 825,000 to enforce the law." Altogether, he said, the minimum profit would not bo loss than a half million dollars for tie liisS year* Governor Tillman talked with deter? mination about the enforcement of tho law. He8aidthat he had just orderet; fifty badges for special constables and do tectlves, and be was going to have a good corps of constables ana detectives to make arrests, seize whiskeys and see thai, the law was properly enforced as well They will perhaps keep au eye on tho county dispensers, and no doubt also givn an eye to clubs, which be says under Sections 21 and 22 prevent the dispensing or keeping of liquor in a club for usu by its members. When asked about the beer business ho 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 the market the labels will be identical, ex? cept as to the numbers?that is, No. 1 will represent the beer of a certain brew? ery, and No. 2 of another breweiy. The labels will set forth that it is bottled ex? clusively for the South Carolina State dispensary. Beers that have been offer? ed us show a variation of as much as ?3.50 a cask of bottles (ten dozen pints.) Our idea in putting on numbers is to do away with tho 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 the test of the stomach and do away with an im? aginary superiority. We won't force our people to drink slops because they are made at home or are 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 in the 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 of control will receive proposals from differ? ent ice companies that choose to compete for the contract to provide ice for the summer ior the country dispensers. "It is the duty of the county board of 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 tho information to the 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 Neu's and Cburier. Widows, Don't Wed! Yesterday a novel question arose in tho Comptroller General's office about the right of two widowB of Confederate soldiers to pensions. Their first hus? bands were killed during the war. After the war they married again?the hus? bands also being Confederate veterans. The matter was referied to the Attor? ney General who rendered the following opinion: Hon. W. H. Ellerbe, Comptroller Gen? eral. ? Dear Sib: In answer to the question submitted by you to tbis office as to whether the widow of a soldier from tbis State, who lost bis life while in the ser? vice of the State or Confederate States in the war between the 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. Sbo is entitled to the pension only so long as she remains the widow of such deceased soldier. But you make a further supposition as to her rights in case the second husband dies, my answer is that this will not restore her to the right to draw the pension. When she marries a second time she ceases in the eyes of the law to be the widow of the one who lost his life in the war and the deatb of the second husband will not restore her to bor former condition. Respectfully your obedient servant, P. A. Townsend. Attorney General. Fanciers' Association Organised.

Columbia, May 22.?It is understood that the South Carolina and Richmond Jc Danville roads will in a few days file their suits against the 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 figures are based on the actual loss? es of the roads by the holding of their trains Mr, Crawford, the special lawyer engaged in these cases, will probably en? ter tbo suits. He went to Charleston this afternoon in company with Receiver Oak man. They will go from Charleston to Atlanta, where the fight for the remov? al of Receiver Comer is to be made. At? torney General Townsend has not yet re? ceived any intimation about the damage Huits and thinks that the railroads had 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 the Court will no doubt in a few days order an execution against bim or bis official bond. Governor Till? man does not expect to give the record breaking sheriff any financial assistance and be will have to help himself out of the hole.?Special to News and Courier. Yitrloil in her Face. Toccoa, Ga., May 9.?Fannie Denham, a white woman, in a fit of jealonsy this afternoon, threw a bottle of vitrioil in the face of Erank Hughes' wife, completely destroying one eye and disfiguring her face end neck forever.' Mrs. Hughes was at her home on Cur rahee street when the Den bain woman rode up on a horse and called her out. She offered her a bottle of peach cider and invited 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. Denham produced a bottle of vitrioil and hurled its cotents into the face of her unsuspecting victim, and nutting spur to the horse, she fled rapidly, but was soon captured by Mar? shals Jackson and G ribble, Medical aid was summoned for Mrs. Hughes. Dr. J. N. West promptly re? sponded, dressed the wound and' ana? lyzed the bottle of cider which had been dropped on the ground by Mrs. Denham in her flight, and found it heavily ciiarged 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 Denham 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 the evening has been revived in all the villages of Can? ada. An act passed at the last session of the Dominion Parliament provides that at nine o'clock the curfew shall be rung, and if any persons under seventeen years of age are found ?n 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 the authorities see fit to let them out. The act is meeting with favor all over Canada. ? The New York World claims that the officials of the State department ex? pect a claim for damages from China on account of the Geary Act. It is said that Minister Isui K.wo Vin rogards the Act as a violation of the treaty between tho two Governments, and that he will make a claim for damages and auk that it be submitted to international arbitra? tion. M vl!E WORKERS TO THE FRONT. a ildres? ul the Wage Workers League to the People of t>ouih Caroliua. Columbia, S. C, May 10.?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 and given out by the advisory committee: address of the league. Fully to appreciate tho 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 some malady, for which the medicine is taken as a remedy or cure. In nature there are certain inexorable laws which may not be transgressed without conse? quences so evil as to defy the 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 suffer the consequences of his 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 not be set aside by majorities; principles Within the operation of which "equal and exact justice'' shall bo meted out to the weak as well as the strong, to the poor as well as the rich, to the few as well as the many, by a judiciary composod 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 Execntive veto and the 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 boeu and which must be the refuge of tiie "plain people" of our country. J democracy should be bestored. IFeeling 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 3 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, and be i 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 tho principles of Democracy, and unjust as well as in? jurious to niany of the citizens of this State engaged in various industrial occu? pations, especially to such as were wage : workers, the "Industrial and Wage : Workers' Democratic League" was or : ganized to remedy, if possible, these ' abuses by appealing to the reason of the I people. j, white people must rule. "It is a condition, not a theory, which j confronts us" when we assert the neces ? sity of maintainiug 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 j taining the integrity of the Democratic ?arty. Is the present political situation opefully indicative of such a result ? j Is it not evident to all that the present : intensity of feeling which divides the i white people of the State will culminate j sooner or later in an appeal to the negro, ! unless a more rational condition can be ! brought about? Is it not equally clear j to intelligent citizens that the schism amongst our people is due lass to issues than to individualities? and more to "isms" than to ideas ? Is it not also true that the integrity of the Democratic par? ty, and the supremacy of tiie white peo? ple, is menaced through the incorpora? tion of ideas of questionable merit savor? ing of Ocala and Omaha ? Can men con? sistently serve two masters? 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 nutter comes to them as .he fruit of passions aud prejudices which they have excited among us? Shall we continue to elect. Legislatures which, so iar from representing the in? dustries of the State, are, in large meas? ure at least, monuments of iucompeten-1 cy and vicious ignorance? Shall we con? tinue to elevate to the highest positions in our gift men whose miuds are poison? ed with partisan zeal to a degree which renders them incapable of appreciating their constitutional functions in the in? terest of the truaran teod rights of citizens? A zeal equalled only by the arrogance with which are Bet 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 bei't, to hold the raiment of those who, from whatsoever point they , may be viewed, or to whatsoever faction I they may profess allegiance, inflamed with passion and conceit, are inciting their fellow citizens to a war which can only result in financial depression and industrial disaster? THE PEOPLE must answer. These questions oan only be answered by the people, and the responsibility of the reply rests primarily upon those who regard themselves as men of intelligence ind 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" is in favor of retir? ing those partisan fire-brands and politi? cal fossils who protrude their unwelcome presence into tfie reasonable councils of .ho people, and continually snatch the pipe of peace from our mouths; is in r'avor of taking from their unhallowed aands and burying forever the hatchet with which thev have been, and still are, ncalping our domestic peace and indus i.rial prosperity ; is willing and anxions jo vote for farmers to fill every position ;n the gift of the people to which they can reasonably lay claim, provided they are honost and intelligent men, good citizens and unchallenged Democrats, men who, when elected, will legislate wisely and execute justly in the interest of all the people of the State. Nominate u majority of such farmers, and a minor? ity representing all other industries in f.he State; permit us to vote for and rea Mon with you, and the verdict will be Much as to guarantee to the humblest citizen that "equal and exact justice" whioh is tho foundation of Democracy und without which the claim of "Demo? cracy" is a misnomer and a fraud. Let us hay? done with "Haskellism and "Tillmanism" and "Individualism," and let us turn to the "issues"' upou tho rational consideration of which the peace and industrial prosperity of the people of :South Carolina depend, the sole aim op the league, To accomplish this end, by assisting to f leet mon of merit and integrity sufficient to command the confidence and respect c-f the whole people, U the sole aim and object of the "Industrial and Wage Workers' Democratic League." Where good men aud sound Democrats are nominated by tho farmers the League will support the best man aud 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, recognised incapacity or uncertain Democracy. No man can be a Democrat who openly declines to recognize the just rights of tho minority, or 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 tlio right, as well as tho wisdom, of hav? ing cvory industry, as far as practicable, represented iu tho 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, aluiiuisterod by men who recognize Hid right and wisdom of such principles as conditions of their Democracy. Thus will the material resources of the State be brought out and developed through the establishment of industries giving em? ployment to the surplus population and a market to the surplus products of the State. This can only be done under the' auspices of a government which is based upou 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 the development and extension of which free labor shall be freed from the degrading competition with felons, 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 ono 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, Ind., 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 refused a pardon, and regarded the prison as an acceptable borne. Robinson was sent to the prison at Jeffersonvillo, Ind., in 1857, from Wayne County to serve a life sentence for mur? der. After serving two years there he was transferred with others to this city to assist in building the Northern Prison. After this labor was finished he worked on contracts until be grew old and then, during the wardenshipof 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 his prison career he formed a strong attachment for dumb animals and made pets of dogs, rabbits, squirrels and foxes. He also developed into a great hunter and trapper, and would frequently turn bis skill to financial account. Once during the Mayne regime Bob got lost while bunting in Porter County, west of the city, and actually hired a man to bring him'baok to prison. In 1877 Governor Williams offered Robinson a pardon, but 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 the warden threatened to have him pardoned upon the occasion of a certain visit of the Governor to the prison. When the Gov? ernor arrived Ola 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 be enshrouded himself in a long, heavy nlster to conceal his stripes, and notwithstanding the high temperature, the man extracted bis 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. The Bervice will be public, and will be conducted by the prison chaplain. The prisoner left about $61), which he secured bartering with excursionists, and War? den Freuch will apply the amount to the erectiou of a small monument to mark the old man's grave in the prison ceme? tery. Both Ears Cat off. Another dark cose 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 Gralh claimed that another dusky dam? sel bad stolen her husband's affections, and she swore dire revenge on her ene? my. She planned to have both ears of her rival, and successfully carried her threat into execution. She went to the woman's bouse, threw' her upou the floor and ccompliBhed her purpose. The affair occurred about eight miles south of Newberry. The work seems to have been done.de? liberately and premeditatively, as the wronged woman told the wronger that she had come to cut her ears off smooth? ly, and when the amputation was com? pleted it was shown that the avenger meant business?the ears were v ' eked off right up against the victim's nead. The woman who did the 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 shp had covered for protection. The out woman was told by the cutter why it was done. It will thus be seen tbat 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 en^ray to }\ye qpd suffer, so she coolr 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 ber guilt wherever she went. She should show to the world what the cost is to alienate a husband's love?even "in dark? est Africa." The strangest part of the case is that the earless woman refuses to institute pro? ceedings against her assailant, and has left the scenes of her former triumphs and conquests.?Neivbcrry Herald. A Mulo With a Record. FREpitlCLSBURG, Va., May 20.?Mr. j Philip S? Honey, a former, who lives in Stafford county", a few miles from this cijy, is an ardent Confederate and still the proud 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 the army, when the mule was seven yeaas old, and from that time uutil the close of the war he aud his faith? ful beast shared many barsbips, They were together at the bnf "is 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. The mule shows the marks of time; but notwith? standing her advanced age, is still strong and active and eats well. She docs 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 the remains of Jefferson Davis, the dead President of the Confederacy, will be in? terred in beautiful Hollywood cemetery of tbat city, May 21st. Thore has also baen some talk of tak? ing the mule to Chicago aud exhibiting her in a tent during the World's Fair, Joined to His Idol. An appeal to the cotton planters of the 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 the year before ; but not one of these suc? cessive appeals has boon heeded by the planters. From tho cotton crop report of the department of agriculture lor May we get information about tbis 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 the States, The plant? ers everywhere appear to be willing, year after year, to take the risks of a sur? plus crop and a falling market. In the appeal of the Memphis Convention they wore reminded of the low prices that prevailed during tho greater part of last year, and of the ever-increasing compe? tition between the 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 the 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.?Naw York Sun. i mM U mt ?

The best way to find out that you have tho best country?that is, the most pro? ductive, the most prosperous, and the 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 life 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 fourpenco you come back satisfied to stay whore you are? that is if you livo in Anderson Couuty. I took a little trip off through Green? ville, Spartanburg, York and a corner of Union a f?w days ago, aud I was sup prised to see the difl'ornnce 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 and wo can't help it, and wo 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, and 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 see the ell'ects 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 his goods, but that is a sad mistake, for I never have seen the time yet when if people have anything to buy iviththeydon'tmakeusoofit. Weall buy more when we feel like wo can stand it?when we have made good crops and realized good prices for thorn than we do in adverse circumstances. If you take a bale 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 hall con ts. There is thirteen dollars and twelve and one-half cents difference 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 bo much profit in it at seven or eight cents unless the farmer will make all of his provisions for his family and feed for his stock at home, with a little of that to sell, then his cotton money comes in on the balance sheet as net profit. This all the farmers will tell you and about one in fifty will adopt it. As I was going to say, when the farmer has made bis corn, wheat and meat at home and has good fat sleek horses and mules and a few pigs to squeal and warn him of the approaching November cold wind and the cows' lowing for 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 swarming around 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 baveseeu justsuch a phenom? enon right here in this County, and it could be at every farm in the County as easy as it can 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 lollow suit. Don't wait for Governor Tillman and the "reform movement" to 1,s 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. Wbeat is looking better, but I don't think there will he many oats made, cot 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 com. It makes good late roasting-ears and is mighty good to have to cut down and feed to stock, and don't cost much. I had 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 and progress of the times. Yes, it is instructive and comforting to our rpinds to converse with su'oh intelli? gent patriarchs as Capt, Williams, I wish I could have some such to converse with oftener. 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 lace to face with the fact that they have lost a gem. Long may the Capt. live and enjoy good health. 1 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 will each have to cut? You see a rod at ope dollar and a quarter, and a rod at seventy-five cents will make it cost one dollar, If you can't get tho answer to the abovo problem I want to know why. Squike Fewel. Piedmont, S. C, May 22,1893. Flashes From Shlloh. Mr. Audrew Adkins and Miss Llda Bell were married on the 18th inst. 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 cure 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 bear. His theme was on the train? ing of a child. The boys try to see how muoh they can cut one another oqt. One of the Pierce to wn boys was in town Sunday looking just as nappy as a frost bitten tomato. Some of the boys beat him out. Try again. We think it is time to see about a school. We have the material to make a good school. Eret h ron, 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 let 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 Cracker. Extortion at Chicago. Not all these persons are 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 eyil promptly brings its own oure, The American peoplo are pretty good-natured, but they dislike robbery when they aro tho robbed. We find, accordingly, in the first week of the Fair visitors bringing their own lun? cheons to the Fair in parcels, boxes and baskets. 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 the Fair. On the contrary, let him or her perch on the steps of the high-priced restaurateurs and flaunt eoonomy, good senso and independence in the faco of extortion. A little of this treatment will have a wholesome effect, 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 sooner or later that they are outting their own throats.?Chicago Evening Post. ? Mrs. Fannie Ragland, of Richmond, Va., has secured a verdict of ?150,000 damages against the dry goods firm of Woodward & Lothrop, 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 10.?Tho directors of the World's Columbian Exposition de? cided to-day to abrogate their contracts with Congress, by which they bound themselves to close the Fair on Sunday in consideration of an appropriation of ??2.000,000. The money will be returned to Um 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 fct 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 practically unani? mous, but 2 directors out of 37 voted against tbo proposition. By tho terms of tho resolution, adoptod to-day, the machinery will be closed down on Sundays, but in every other respect tho Fair will be open in all departments, the sumo on the secular days. But ?1,020,120 of tho appropriation or? iginally made by Congress has been turned over to tho Exposition company, and this amount is to be returned to the National Treasury after the debts of the Exposition have boon 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 tho Fair Sun? days, even at the expense of e. 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 broad 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. ? MissJonnie Young, the American girl who built a railroad to tbo extensive salt deposits she owns in Chihuahua, has received from the Mexican Government a valuable con. >sslnn 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 securod from the Government. ? The well-known missionary, J. S. Baldwin, a conceded authority on a!l Chinese matters, says tbat 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 havo been rearing for so many years. ? Delaware keeps up the 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 the 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 10,000,000cans 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 the ground, as is the case now in many localities." What is Your Prospect for Fruit? 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 you, going to do in the matter? I^et your fruit fall and rot on the ground and 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 homo 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. Yfhy not you ? Right 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.
