Tt e cutting of wages in the cotton mills of New England continues, and ?n most places the operatives are quietly suhmitting to it. A California physician claims that - he can cure drunkenness by injecting horse's blood into the patient s arm. We fear this man is giving reins to his imagination. This is election year, and one thing certain we will not have a dull year politically speaking, even if cotton is bringing only five cents. The woods are full of candidates, and by spring the State will be fuil of gentlemen with the busy political bee humming in their bonnets. In thfe death of Gen. Johnson Ha good, which occurred at his residence at Barnwell, on the 4th inst.. South Carolina has lost one of her noblest, bravest and most patriotic sons. In time of war and peace he served his country most faithfully, and his mem ory will long be cherished by his le gion of friends. Imports of gold into the United 'States during the past twelve months were more than double the exports, being respectively $81,500,000 and $40,000,000. We have therefore re ceived more gold than was shipped out of the country to the sum of $41, 000,000. This in sharp contrast with '96 when the figures showed a net loss of $SO,500,000. - mm m- mmm - The news of the purchase of thc Charleston and Western Carolina road by the Coast Line was a complete sur prise to every one. This purchase gives the Coast Line thc largest mile age of any road in the State. It is to be hoped that General Passenger Agent Craig and Superintendent An derson will continue to hold their positions. The State legislature convened in its annual session yesterday. There will be many^ important bills to con sider, but the fixing of the tax levy will probably be the one that will in terest the people most. Howyto keep the levy down, and yet provide revenue sufficient to run the Statergovernment for the next fiscal year/will be a most difficult problem. Tjfefe body will like ly be in session a^ieast six weeks. The noise that Spain is making be cause one or her bribers sent to the Cuban camp was killed would almost persp>?e people to believe that "Spain is.at war with the Cubans." But she ?as uerer acknowledged such to bc the case and yet whines about "the violations of all rules of war," and ir the meantime goes on starving Cu ban women and children to death ai an every-day business. Within the last 15 years, in round -numbers, 7,500,000 foreigners landec on our shores, an average of half t million yearly. The last fiscal yeai reached low water mark-230,000 ira migrants, a decrease of over a millior from the previous year. It is desira ble that immigration decrease, at leasi for a season. To properly American ize this vast number of immigrant! will tax the couutry considerably fo] the preseut. Whenever a man cannot conscien tiously say something good of hi,' town and its people he had bette: leave it. He should go to a town tha he can praise. Nothing so injures ; town as discontented and disloj'a citizens. Tt is not selfishness fo members of a family to defend, up hold and assist each other in prefer encc of others, and neither is it self ishness for the people of a town ti stand by each other in a business way It is nothing more than what is righ and proper. Whenever it is possibh every enterprise should patronize every other enterprise. The old ad age, "in union there is strength.' will apply here. Foreign enterprise have no claim upon the people of ; town in which there are like enter prises, everything being equal. Th way to make a town is to stick to it its people and its enterprises. m? m mmi We fear that there is a growing im pression among our young men that i is more honorable to keep books o stand behind the counter and se! goods than it is to plow: that there i more honor in reading law than thet is in hammering on an anvil in blacksmith shop: that thc man wh wears blue overalls and works in machine shop occupies a lower posi tion in the world than the mau wh wears a white .shirt and patent loathe every day. This is a very great blun der and has, wc fear, turned thc head of a great many young tuen. X doubt good plow boys have bee Spoiled by young men imagining tha it was more honorable to practice lai or sell goods than to turn over soil o shove the plane. Thc blame is not al ways on the young man. either: parent aro often at fault in this matter. They let it out early in life of the children that William ?md John must select easy places in tho world. They must not hiivc thc drudgery of farm life and must avoid the hard work of a mechanic. It is a profession, ;i situa tion as salesman or bookkeeper or some calling for which thc boy is to tally unfitted. All work is honorable if it is honest and right. Considerable pressure has been brought to bear upon thc (?overnor and Comptrollcr-C?cneral in reference to extending the time for paying State and County taxes, but they have refused to yield to the pressure, and it is now stated that an appeal will bc made to thc Legislature to extend the time. In talking about the matter to a reporter of the Columbia State a few days ago Gov. Ellerbe stated that there was no other way to run thc tax machinery of thc State on a business basis, but to have a fixed time for the collection of taxes and stick to that time unalterably. He said that sc long as he was Governor and thc power of extension was vested in him he would never consent to an exten sion of time. Business was business and the State government needed thc tax money in order to meet its obliga tions. He feels that an extension oi time would never have been more ac ceptable to the taxpayers than just al this time, but he could not see his way clear to allow it. Gov. Ellerbe ii certainly correct in his view of the matter. Paying taxes is a debt thal no person can shirk, and he is giver ample time in which to pay them. Ii you extend thc time one year, peoph will expect the same extension nexi year, and every year they get mon negligent in meeting their obligation: to the government. The peoph should be made to understand tha' they must pay their taxes withing a certain time, and the LegisJ':"ur( will make a great mistake to uterfen in the matter. Ininortant/ihiling. ABBEVILLE, C., Jan. 7.-Circui Judge Buchanan has filed his decrei in the Bank of Lowndesville case This cas^e" came up on the report of th master, Walter L. Miller. The master found in favor of th double liability of the stockholders o a" bank, that they were liable not onl; for their stock, but under thc consti tution and statutes to 105 per cent besides. He also found that a mar ried woman who subscribed for stocl was liable just as any other stock holder. The master found that a titi deed was an equitable mortgage as be tween the parties. All these point Judge Buchanan sustained. This i the first time this question has eve come up in our Courts and it ha therefore attracted wide attention Lawyer?, bankers, stockholders am business men throughout the countr; at large are interested in the question He is Hard to Kili. LOUISVILLE, KY., Jan. 7.-A mai with his spinal column broken, hi chest caved in, his ribs crushed, hi skull injured and his limbs sprained and yet with the vital spark not ex tinguished, exhibited himself befor the students ot the Kentucky Schoo of Medicine Thursday morning. H still lives to tell the story of his in juries and claims to have sufferc* more than any other man in the worl to have lived to tell the tale. His name is Kalph Thornton and h is a resident of Pittsburg. Laure County, Kentucky, but is now stor. ping in this city at 1537 J^umesni street. He was a subject of a lectur 11 delivered at the Kentucky School c Medicine by Drs. Marvin and Hoc man. His case is considered one c the most remarkable in the history c surgery and has attracted wide-sprea attention. .Six years ago Thornton was a pou erful, hardy miner employed in th coal mines at Vanderbilt, Fayett r i County, Pennsylvania. He was thc t j 27 years or age and weighed IS pounds. Un May 5, 18?2, the ace dent befell him that caused the it juries recited. At thc time TJiornto was working far down below the su: face of the earth. Suddenly, wi th o i any warning, several hundred pound of slate descended from above au struck him with full force, buryin him completely. His fellow workme rushed to the rescue. When Thon ton was ii nally dug out kc was uncoi scions, and it was thought he coul not live but a few hours, lt was coi sidcred a marvel that he had not bec killed instantly. He was taken to thc hospital i Collinsville, l'a., where it was foun that his spinal column had been bro! cn between the seventh and eight verterbrae. Physicians pronounce his case hopeless. He lay almost Hf? less for several days, the only nourisl meut he received being forced dow his throat with a spoon. Several daj passed and much to the surprise ( the physicians he still lived. Thc went to work on the mangled bod; thinking it might be possible to sa\ him. Weeks passed, and somehow ( other, no one knew why, Thornto still lived. At thc end of four monti he had gained sufficient strength t sit up. arni it was seen thal thc vert brae ol' tin- spinal cord had healed an the ribs had mended, hut he was hopeless wreck as he is to-day. Il en tiro body on the left side ol' ti waist is paralyzed, but he- has a sligl use oi' his right arni. A.- he appca; now lie is a human skeleton, weigh ii less than ?J0 pounds, though able I sit erect. Xray pictures of thc spin column have been taken and show tl complete break has healed.
