The Eefshaw - Gazette. iw Onaty, 8. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL S, 1894. j ' ir ,. i ,1! -HALF SHEET THIS WEEK. ^ We beg th> ?Tour reodjr* tkl< week, in presenting to thelu *T? half From some nuM btjotd oar coMrtl, oar ?uppij of paper has not arrived, and there - fore we hare been compelled to reduce this week's Issue to half of iU usual size. We hope we shall not he called upon to do this again. THE LIES'LA W. . Ouf readers may not be aware of the fiset that there has been an amendment to the Lies Law. In new of the preference .given merchants, and tho consequent harps hi pa thereby entailed upon the landowner, the General Assembly, at its last sesMion, amend ed the act so as to give to the landowner the preference to tka extent of one-third of the crop, where they take liens and have tliem properly recorded. We expect to be able to publish the act in ottr next issue, or the one following ; and would advise our readers, both merchants and landowners, to read it cnrvtully, aa it is a matter of interest to them both. TlIE 11*. I ) THE W/ XI) Byj ITS. From a recent number of the Columbia f'nioHm/frruUf upon the subject of the Tax payers' Committee, we make the following extract*. They are j^ignificant, coming a* they <lo from a fearless Republican piper ut the State Capital : The party feeling in Washington is strong, loyal, ami will be inclined to accept, with many grains of allowance, tbo general state ment ugninat the Republican party in this State. At the same time, the sentiment in Washington and the whole country bos tx? cume so outraged, so disgusted and so ner vous on the demoralized and ah normal con dition of affairs hero that party justice will filence party prejudice, and the tax-pnyers will be listened to with much more respJct than under other circumstances would have been possible. Exactly what effect the com mittee will huve is more than we CAn reckon. The President will certainly not issue a proclamation against fraud, wrong and cor ruption, however inucb he may be persuad ed that it oppresses a people. It is possible that he may comc to the conclusion, now that the raAartlon of the army is resolved upon, to ^Wraw tho troops. lie may be satisfied that p?acc reigns in Warsaw, and that there would be no real danger of actunl violence in case ef tbc removable of the troops, while their presence would encour age the unbridled spirit of public plunder, (?euoral Grant may apprehend that the whole country would hold h:ni direotly re sponsible if he persists in retaining the troops and refuses to lend tho moral aid of their withdrawal in the restoration of the State to the original virtue of the Republi can faith. It seems to be very certain that the president, with his Cabinot and with every newspaper between the seas, ia in open and unqualified reprobation of the political ;nnn ngcinem of our State affairs. Tho universal demand of the Republican party of the country is that we should at once and forever purify and correct our selves. Thero is no use of winking and blinking ; to that conclusion it must come, and come without delay. In obedience to tliat sentiment, Grant and Congress will Ad vance all the moral assistance possible, but what else is very douotful. * *?#**# ? fj,at we urfcineyil limes, in ft bad way, is unhappily evident. That cor ruption docs exist ; tLat tho public moneys are shared out, as if they were the legiti mate spoils of plunder ; thVil men go into offico with a single shirt and coiuo out in a few months with splendid h<nim, royal carriages, magniAcent horses, palatial fur niture, diamonds, jewelry, broadcloths, silks, satins and laces, an salaries that can hardly pay their board, is not true, but ia glaringly defiantly, insolently true. The blrtod of this poor people is becoming hot and angry, and the heart, of a free and generous coun try is begining to pity their sufferings and misfortunes. It is a sad, sad extremity, nnd we must be up and doing, or we shall fall, if not from outside pressure or insided desperation, then just from the aw ful load we have to carry. THE R VRA J. CA liOL /A /. 1 A'. The April number of this invaluable mai nline comes to us in good season, brimfull of that class of practical and instructive reading matter which has characterised every issuo from the first inception to the present time, and which has won for it a deservedly high reputation among the agri culturists ofthe country. Boh publishers and editor merit the warmest (banks of that largo class of the industrial community of the .South to whose interest and elevation it it IS ehiefly devoted. We hope their efforts will be liberally rewarded by an annual in crease In their subscription list until the beneficial influences of its practical lessons and high-toned teachings shall b<> felt on the farm and at the flreaide, throughout the length and breadth of the Sunny South. The the terms are $2 per annum, with liberal Club rates. The publishers also give the ehric* of two beautiful ohromos to all sub ,s?ribe*e, at prices astonishing low.

TIGHT TIMES IN LONDON. The Times acknowledges the existence of a finalcial panto in London, and attributes it to the effect of those with which New York and Vienna have been visited, combined with the depressing influences of the India iiiniine. It says the check to tVade is prob ably as severe as in any former instance. . SUCCESSFUL FIRMING. Past experience should satisfy our plan ters with the folly of expending all tlieir tiiergyfend means on ou'e staple crop ; and we ure glad to obeorve a ^neral dispo sition to attandon the old eystem and try a new departure. An important element in successful farm ing consists iu procuring the largest possi ble crops from the smallest cultivated sur face and to render what lanl is cultivated more and more productive every year. GOOO FOR THE PRESIDENT. The l'rorident was evidently impressed by the representative* of the committee of the ] Tax-Payer* Convention. He ho pod that some ruean? might he afforded of legitimate ly effecting the d.sire I rvlicf. Wo (ire { grateful for his po-xl wishes. All that the people of South Carolina dc.-drc i*, that her i condition shall he fully kunwn, an ! candid- ' ly considered. Let a firm foundation be ' laid. Let a poo.! understanding be entered j into. When that i* .lone, relief will come. It will not lag tar behind.?I'hccius. GERMAN IMMIGRATION'. It never rains hut it pours," is a pro verb which seem* likely to be exemplified in in the case of the line of stvamors from Charleston. In addition to the Liverpool line, (in futurity.) we now learn that nn offer has been made by a responsible firm in. (?ermany to put on a line of steamships bc tweon Bremen and Charleston, for the car rying of immigrant*, "with a guarantee that they will deliver oOO per wcok on vcrv Jil>crul terms." It i* not long since that the German Government was inclined to check immigration with a strong hand; but it must have more liberal views now, else this pio posed wholesale deportation by stenni would not be possible. What the "libcraljcrms" ure, is not stated.?[JV>?c y?rk Jiullttin. IMMIGRATION*. Major MeJchcrs, the Plate Commissioner of Immigration, in a circular letter to the Commissioners in the interior, says : "I liuve bee-n assured by competent au thority, that with ten thousand dollars, and fifty thousand acres of land donated, somo ten thousand families may be brought to the State by next winter. Without inducements to offer to immigrants, none will come, as the West, and other Southern States, are in the field to get all the immigrants that-c^me ?Tennessee, for instance, has offered a hun dred thousand acres of land gratis, to he di vided in alternate sections to immigrant families; and Virginia has appropriated $13,(XX) for the same purpose. ?? I am happy to sny that, in some Dis tricts of the State the people have offered lands at very low prices, and given some gratia, hut the movement should be general and every District should do all in its pow er to induce immigrants to settle in our State." The dally X*m and Courier states, that since issuing this letter, tiaior Meloher* has received information that Col. J. n. Moore, ofStatesburg, has donated three thousand acre* of land, to he given to immigrants in alternate sections of fifty acres. Tki* gen tleman comprehends the situation.

The construction .,f a large steam Cotton ndll in Charleston is in contemplation. The capital of tho company will be over $'>08, 000 and the mill run about 10,000 spindles With good management such a mill would b* highly profitable to the stork holders. an<l would give employment to a large ?uni?>er of persons.

J. Pringie Jones, fotonerly pre siding Judge of the Berks county Courts, died in London on the 16th instant. A special dispatch from Potrolia, Tcnn., states that a tank containing 12,000 barrels of oil, on the Trout man farm, near the place was struck by lightning yoetcrdty, and set on fire. The fire was extinguished with slight loss. Congressman Pierce, of Massachusetts, has given $10,000 for a new building for the Boston Young Men's Christian Association. Queen Victoria is now in the thirty-seven th rear of her reign and fifty-fifth qr her age. She has nine children and twenty-one grandchildren. . , Gen. John S.

It is expected of him to take nonsense of all sort* and make 'sense out of it. If ^uista':^ ?hnn)J occur in the composition or what the author calls manu- j script (but what looks more like geese tracks j around a frog pond), .the priu'er is >up- ! posed to know all tho worJs the author i:?- ' tended, ami supply them accordingly. The ' printer must go to church and euiogize the I sermon, eve n if it were net equal to a jn j the Dutch almanac as for a matter of it iter, i est. lie must go the mnyor'scourt, and t< .1 ! all that there occurs ; but withal, he must j not mention the names of parties a.ie<to >. Must drink with c very bo?& 'tin: must mver ' get drunk himself?must '?puff" r?II sr.rts of liquor*, although ho is aware thru (wo drinks ! of pome of them would send him to the tomb of his fathers. Must pay his debts and pive j to every object of charily ; yet if he auks for j his dues from others, lie must submit to arty abuse they may choose to lioap upon him. Everybody who wants his name in The pa per must be accommodated. He must write long obituaries on every wretch that takes a | notion to die?must praise them to the in - I nocenceofa saint?although he knows the ' individual to havo been the greatest siuuer unhung. Judge Brown, of Baltimore, has given a decision iu a sewing machine ?uit that r.iuv be interesting to thousands who are labor ing to pay fur their machine* by instalments. A Miss Baker bought a scwiag machine on the instalment plan, signing n contract bv which she agreed to pay a contain sum per mouth for the use of the m.irtitna, and the company agreed to execute a bill of sale when the who}# pri^e had been rcoeived. The instalments were promptly handed over by Miss Paker until only fire dollars re mained duo. She who- prevented from pay ing this by sickness, and the company sued out a writ of replevin. A Justice ' Oi tVe Peace decided in favor of the defendant, but Judgo Brown, of tho C7ty Court re versed the Judgment, and ruled that the company was entitled to the machine knd all the money paid on it. ^ Ik you want circulars, It you want handbills.

Tis believed by some persons that since the war it is an utter imposibility to obtain a good cigar except at an en ormous figure. There lire somo excep tions, however, to the general rule, and thure are some establishments where good cigars may oven yet ba obtained, and at reasonable prices. Such an one is that of the Indian Girl cigar store in Columbia. * ? One tiny Uveas u conqueror or a kin^ or a magistrate, but ho must die a man.

I Yrhtfry. There is a legend to the effect that a party di?iiing to transact some private business with another, was invited to step into a neighboring store. "Hot we will be disturbed there," said tho first party. "Oh, no," said the other, '-they don't advorti.se." OFFJpIAL. THE LAWS Of THE STATE.
