THE CROMN TRIAL.
Though weeks have passed since
"^-tlie case against the parties charged
with the murder of Dr. Cronin was
called for trial, only four jurors had
been accepted and sworn at last accounts.
The trial will probably unearth
one of the foulest conspiracies
of all time.

KERSHAW COUNTY EXECUTIVE
, COMMITTEE.
-The Democitic County Executive
Committee met on Tuesday, Chairman
Clyburn and Secretary 15irebraore
in their places, After some deliberation
November 2d *ns decided
for the day of the primary at which
a candidate for the Senate, to fill tin
unexpired term of Mr. G. G. Alexander,
resigned, will he elected. Tin
Chairman was instructed to suggest
to Lieutenant-Governor Maulden tin
12th of November as the day of tin
regular election. It was decided to
assess candidates two dollars and
fifty cents to defray the expenses o:
the piimary.
Gn motion those managers who
served at the last primary election
were appointed to act at the coming
primary, the Chairman to fill any va
cancics that may exist.
The Committee then adjourned to
meet the first Tuesday after the primary.
VIRGINIA.
Much interest is felt in the clec
tion which will be he'd next month
in Virginia. State officers, from
Governor down, sue to be chosen.
Capt. 1\ W. McKinney, of Farmville,
heads the Democratic ticket, wbi c
Gen. Mahone is the Radical nominee
for governor. The party lines
are sharp'y drawn, and the canvass
is being conducted with vigor. Hot!
parties claim to have the inside track,
but, the belief of those who are best
informed is, that Mahone and I.is
crowd will be distanced in the race
Several political leaders, who havei
hitherto been bis most powerful and
devoted followers, have abandoned
mm, uih? ui.a'Juuccu mtn urtei mimition
to support the Democratic
ticket; and it is confidently expected
t'.iat thousands of honest, ihoug
misguided, voters wdl follow then .
It is earnestly to be hoped that the
good people of the Old Dominion,
around which cluster the fondest
memories, and whose soil is enriched
by the best blood that ever flowed.,
may he able to crush out for all time
Mahonear.d his meihods.
We seud cojies of the Journal to
several persons this week, whose
names are not on our buc ks. with
t ie hope that they may io.-oine sib*
scribers.
Cotton HuggingThe
cotton l agging question is
exciting a considerable amount <>f <
attention throughout the Southern <
country. The proportion ot' cotton I
bagging which has reached this port i
greatly exceeds the percentage wiiich i
the Savannah Morning Neics estira- <
ates for Savannah. j
Although Memphis and Savannah
wero both represented at the New
Orleans c->nvention, at which resolutions
were adopted fixing a tare of
twenty four pounds and sixteen
pounds on bales eovercd with jute
and eotton bagging, respectively,
without dissent; jet the exchanges 1
of both Savannah and Memphis nave
refused to endorse the resolutions
That the Alliance is thoroughly in 1
earnest is evidenced by its adoption
of the plan of demanding payment
for eight pounds more cotton than'
the actual gross weight of die bale
when it is wrapped in cotton bagging
than when wrapped in jute, and
its determination that, "in no case,
shall a bale ??f cotton he sold subject
to a "dockage" of sixteen pounds for
cotton bagging as agreed upon in
Ne w Orleans, unless the cotton be
sold at a half cent per pound in advance
of the curront prices at that
time.
This last plan is somewhat on the
line of the proposition advanced by
the World, and we think that had
the suggestion of. the World been
adopted, a simple and easy settlement
of the natter would have been
arrived at, upon the basis of the tare
allowed by the New Orleans conven
ti?m.
Perhaps that which now attracts
most attention, is the gauntlet which
' has been thrown down to the Alliance
by Savannah and Memphis.

organization have openly claimed!
that such action i9 inimical to the,
producers who will resent such ac-j
tion, and will make the cities feel'
their displeasure.
If these ant ounccments which have
been telegraphed in every direction,
amount to nothing and no appreciable
diminution appears in the cotton
receipts ef those places which it;
is claimed have manifested an nn-l
friendly spirit to the Alliance, then !
it is idle to deny that, an impression
will he created ?h;:t the bark of the.
Al iance is worse than the bite.
On Memphis and ^avannah, then,'
attention wid be centered, for if the
producer van be made to j*oscnt:
eight pounds uf cotton to tho consumer
on account of his exercising j
his choice in the matter of covering.:
the producer will scom to be ra h-F'

The Cost or Good Roads.
The road making iu this country is |
in its infancy.
The demand for good countryroads
is imperative, and yet wc are!
doing comparativi-ly-nothing. Every j
civilized eoajitrv is aliend of us in |
this re9peclr Even in our older j
States the highways are inferior to;
those of every connlrv in Europe.)
It is somewhat encouraging t<>
newspapers and thoughtful farmers
agitating the matter. Mr. J. F,
Pope, of Texas, has given the subject
considerable study, and some
ot' his facts will attract attention.
According to Mr. Pope, a good road,
eighteen feet wide, with four feet
margin on each side, can he constructed
for $2,100 a mile, and kept J
in repair at an. annual oxpeuco of
$100 a mile. Such a road should b? ,
well drained and be covered *ith
fine broken stone nine inches deep ]
in tho centre and four and a i alf j
inches deep on the sides.
It is estimated that these roads
would save their cost every ten years J
and their interest every eix months. .
Now, all this is as interesting to
Georgians as it is to Texans. We

good ones, especially when we take j
into consideration the fact thaf the ,
tiigliways described by Mr. Pope
could be constructed for between
?1,000 and ?l,f)00 a mile. This
difference in cost is owing to cheaper
labor aud more favorable conditions .
of soil.
Cne more point about roads
When we make permanent public (
improvements the entire burden ol
the expense should not fail upon ,
one generation. W hen posterity i>
to leap the benefit of our worts it
should pay its share of the bill. The |
Counties should raise the money
needed for a permanent system oi
good public roads by issuing bonds, |
and our successors should I e taxed
to redeem them. ,
This is the common sense of Il.e
situation. We must have good roads,
but it would be unjust In pay for j
them ourselves and prcssu! them as
a free gift to our posterity.?Atlanta

Another IJic lagging Combine. .
A dispatch from St. Luui -says: (
The Missouri nnti-lnBtiaw has pre- |
cipitated the formation of another ,
great national combination. All tlie |
b:gging nteres s of the United States t
will shortly consolidate, under the j
name of the "American Manufactur- t

The Pay of Comity Officers.
We understand that the question
jf nholistiin<? the fee system for 1
ounty officers will be brought t>erore
the South Carolina- legislature l<
at its next ses ion. This question is m
one which admits of considerable
discussion, and many apparently i
good arguments can, and doubtless i
will be advanced, pro and con.
There seems to us to be no good
reason, however, for a county to pay
more for its work than first-class
men are willing, and even anxious
to do it for. The luibituals" among
the office-holders, will, of course,
object to the abolition of the fee system,
but this is to be expected. If
fixed salaries are paid all county
officers, there will be no guess-work
as to what amount shall be raised
when the tax levy is to be made out.

means of ascertaining what, the expence
of a county will be for the
next )ear, but if tiie county officials
receive salaries the cost can be determined
in advance, to almost a
dollar.
If the office-holders can make
money by the fee system, why cannot
the county do the same thing?
The World does not advocate the
paying of niggardly salaries. On
the contrary, it believes that ''The
laborer is worthy of his hire,'' and
that he should leceive a fair remuneration
for the labor performed.
lint, on the other hand, we do not
consider that the laborer should receive
more than his services are
worth, and we further cannot see
why an aspirant for office i-hould not
know beforehand just what he is to
be paid per annum. If tho fees in a
year amount to less than a man is
worth, an injustice is being done
him; but if the sum total of the fees
is more than the office should cost,
then t? e injustice is being done the
tax payers. In either case this is
wrong.
Pay a man what hts omce ts worm,
select competent men for positions
and there will he les6 complaint
about the management of county
affairs, and las payers and officeholders,
alike will he better pleaded.

Sad Times for CiyilService Re-'
formers,
Patriots who could not vote for!
Mr. Cleveland last fall on account
of his alleged lapses from the spirit j
of civil.service reform are having a ;
sad nowadays. They voted for!
the other ?.ani1idata partlv because:
the Chicago platform promised '/rent
things, and partly because Mr liar-;
rison. fn his letter of acceptance,'
pr misod the utmost devotion to the1
letter and spirit of the civil-service;
law. They preferred the bird in the j
bush to the bird in the hand, with ;
the usual result, They find them-1
pelves laughed at for thesr simplicity
in believing party promise^ mtple at
election tia.es. They see the spoils
idea again in the ascendant Offices
are us d tq reward politicians, to j
muzzle the pre?R and to buy political j
support. Cleveland's motto, "Pub-i
lie office is a public trust," is ignored,!
and there is substituted for it the j
prihciple that pijblip ofl]ee is private
opportunity. A test of the attitude qf
the administrations of Cleveland aud
Harrison toward the "spirit" of civil-,
service reform is found in removals:
from office. From March 7, 1885, j
to Jane 80. 1885, there were 80y r$movals
of fourth-class posmasters,
while In the first five months of thp
present administration nearly 10,000
were removed. It took the Cleveland
administration 28 months to remove
24 per cent, of tne fourth-class
postmasters but its successor has
removed 18 per cent, in live months
I his ought to be very depre-sing, of
jourse, for those members of civillejrvice
reform clubs who were so
jealous a year ago. But it probably
"s not. One hears very little from
Ihera now.?Baltimore Sun.

Mother and Widow at Twelve J
A Hnntington (W. Va.) dispatch
to the New York Press says; Mrs.
Bloedell, twelvo years old and a widow,
has given birth to a well-leveloped,
healthy girl baby. A letter
from her father, Samuel R .larvis, a
South Tarolina farmer, confirms her
statement that she is bnt twelve
years old. She looks no older. Mrs.
Bloedell says her father employed a
large number of men on his farm.
Among them last year was a German,
.Jules Bloedel, seventeen years
old, who worked abont the house.
The two young people fell in love,
and Bloedel asked permission to
?. ?I
luariy Agnes, it was reiuam, miu
Agnes was sent to an aunt in Columbus.
Bloedel was discharged, lie
learned of Agnes's whereabouts, and
started for Columbus. He met the
girl without her aunt's kn wledge,
and after a few days they ran away,
the girl selling her jewelry in order
to get money to pay her expenses.
I'hey were married and came to
Huntington, where Bloedel assumed
a fictitious name, He secured employment
and they wero living happily.
when Bloedel fell ill with typhoid
fever and died in a week. The
young widow was very poor and suffered
much. Sue was induced to acquaint
her father of her condition,
and he has forgiven her and will
