The New York Tribune says editor ially : "Keeping him in office will not make a Democrat of a Republican. If this is the President's scheme, he may as well abandon it." Senator Woodward, of Fairfield, proposes to tax all dogs in the State one dollar to raise funds to build the agricultural college. This is a good scheme, aad we are heartily in favor of it._? Ouk esteemed cotemporaries, the News and Courier and the Greenville News, have incontinently missed over the Seventh District discussion. We hope our brethren will speedily settle their differences and let the matter in dispute be decided by Congress. President Cleveland's Message to Congress has been received. It is an able paper, and like all documents ema nating from that source is distinctively Clevelandish. He is the President, and he never Jails to let you know it when he.is called on to give his opinion on any subject of interest to the country. If it is Col. Bradley's opinion that Radicals of the Little stripe are more entitled to the offices than good Demo crats he ought to have said so before he accepted the office of Collector. In that case, he might have remained an humble country editor like the balance of us. A bill has been favorably reported in the House of Representatives to re organize the Department of Agricul ture, and we hope it will become a law. If' it is true, as claimed, that the De partment, is intended to benefit the far mers of the State, then we think they ought to control it. 4 / We all grumble a great deal about the taxes we pay tD support the gov ernment, but we never say a word about the immense tax that whiskey levies on us. We believe that more money i s spent every year in Orange burg County for this article than would pay our taxes four or five times. The Government has caught up at laft with wicked Ben Butler. In the ease of the National Soldiers' Home against him a verdict for $10,537 was obtained, last Friday in a Boston court. Ttiis will take some of the wealth that the old rascal stole from the South in the shape of spoons and other portable property. If tile bill to establish an Agricul tural College passes the Legislature we hope ths.t Orangeburg will make an ef fort to have it located in this vicinity. It woul pay our town to secure it at a considerable cost. It will be located no doubt near the town that offers the greatest inducement in the way of lands and money. A measure has been introduced in the Legislature to make the tenure of office of our Judges for life or good be havior instead of as at present. This is a good measure, and we hope it will pass. Judges ought to be removed from all temptation to electioneer for re-election, and the only way to do it is to give them a life tenure. The New York Star says: "Mr. Blaine is unlucky in his encounters with hard facts. He has been groaning about the poor black laborers of the South getting only sixty cents a day. His former colleague, W. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Republican protection ist of the strongest quality, refutes him by reporting from the South that 'negro laborers ot Alabama and Ten nessee are as well paid as white labor ers of Pennsylvania.'" Governor B. F. Perry, of Green ville, S. C died last Faiday at his home near that city, in the eighty-second year of his age. Governor Perry was a grand man. and has gone to the grave full of honors, leaving behind him a record that is worthy of emulation by all. We fully agree with the Colum bia Register "that there was no more conscientious and patriotic citizen in all the State than he who now has been gathered to the fold of Carolina's great sons as they sleep beneath her soil." According to the Boston Globe Col. William Elliott, who beat Gen. Bob Smalls, the Republican colored Con gressman in the Seventh South Caro lina district, is himself a colored man. and of a darker hue than Gen. Smalls can boast. Esteemed Republican, con temporaries, whose eyes have been bulging out of their heads in frenzy over the terrible outrage which the colored men of South Carolina have suffered in the election of Col. Elliott, will please take notice and go out of mourning. A ?rtrnlng Shame. . Col. D. F. Bradley, Collector ofln ternid Revenue for South Carolina, must have a very, soft place in his hcurt for the old Radical thieves who plundered this State prior to their overthrow in 1870. He has recently dismissed from the office of Deputy Collector at 'Columbia Mr.'M. B. Sloan, a true and tried Democrat, and re-in stated one Jack Little, a notorious Radi cal, who use to lill the same position under Brayton. Why a man like Lit tle should receive any fav-s at the hands of a Democratic official can only be explained by Col. Bradley. During the days of good stealing Little was "hail fellow well met" with the worst element of the Radical party and was one of the very last of the gang to let go the public ? teat. He worked with might and main to defeat the Democ racy in 188-1, and is no doubt at this very moment a reviler and hater of the Democratic party and its President. In all common decency M*e would like to know if this is the man to take prece dence of good Democrats when offices 'are to be distributed? Was the victory j of 1884 gained for the purpose of re taining such men in office? Verily not, and if Col. Bradley does not know it, he should be made^acquainted with the fact'as soon a? possible. So far ?s the dismissal of Mr. Sloan is concerned, we have not a word to say, but what we object to is the appointment of so noto rious a Radical as Little, to so impor tent and lucrative an ollice in our State, and we hope that the indignation of the people will be so loudly and un mistakeable expressed that even Col. Bradley will be compelled to respect their wishes and put none but Demo crats on guard. He should either do this, or get out of the way and make room for a Democrat that will. A Prohibition Defeat. In the House of Representatives at Columbia last Friday a stubborn pro hibition fight took place on a bill in troduced by Mr. Boozer, of Edgefield, prohibiting the sale of liquor absolute ly in towns of 500 inhabitants or under. The fight was vigorous and fierce but carried on in good temper. The sup porters of the bill were Boozer, of Edgefield, Dantzler, of Orangeburg, Archer, of Spartanburg and Purifoy, of Edgefield. The opponents were Al drich, of Aiken, O'Brien, of Colleton. Raysor, of Orangeburg:, Tom Miller, of Beaufort and Seegere, of Richland. The bill was defeated by a vote of fifty-six to fifty-three. We doubt very much the wisdom of passing such a bill as was proposed. The present laws on the subject of prohibition are ample, and gives the people of each county the right to say whether they will license barrooms or not. This, it seems to us, is as far as the Legislature should go until the people of the State are ready for a general prohibition law. As long as the present prohibition laws are openly set at defiance, it is useless to pass others._ Our Only Chance. Brother Pratt, of the Palatk'a, Fla., Herald says women always will be a puzzle as long as they live, and then goes on to prove it by citing an in stance up in Pennsylvania where two "coal miners aspired to the affections of the same maiden, and resorted to the wager of battle to decide the suit. Af ter the fight the victor presented him self to the fair cause of the affray, ex pecting an approving smile, but she turned her b;ick on him, and is now engaged in nursing the defeated cham pion, with the intention of marrying him as soon as he recovers sufficient beauty." Why bless you, Brother Pratt, if it was not for the self-sacri ficing spirit of our women that impels them to side with the unfortunates, country editors would stand a slim chance of getting a wife. The Next H?nde. Gen. John B. Clark, Clerk of the House of Representatives, has com pleted and caused to be printed an un official list of the members of the House for the Fiftieth Congress. He classi fies them as K58 Democrats. 152 Repub licans and 4 Indepenents, with one va cancy to be filled, probably by a Repub lic!.. One hundred and ninety-five of the number are old members, being ten more than the number of old members in the present Congress. Of the old members, 100 are Domocrats sind H5 Republicans. If the Independents di vide, as they are expected to do, evenly between the two sides, it will give the Democrats a majority of fourteen in a full House, which is large enough for all practical purposes. Meeting of CongntsH. The short session of Congress which commenced bust Monday will be princi pally taken up with appropriation bills. There will be, however, says the Au gusta Chronicle, time for many sharp passnges on numerous measures, al though no important legislation may go through. Members will be sure to ventilate, pro and eon. the meaning of the last elections. This will lead to a sharp debate for campaigning purposes later on. Though there is not much time to waste between the first of Jan uary and the fourth of March, oppor tunities exist to do a great deal of good or harm. We patiently await the is j sues, and hope to make them as enter i taining as possible to the public. Wiggins, the irrepressible, is again in print with a prediction of another earthquake and a complaint that the i newspapers misrepresent him. AMIshilce. j*~ FromHhe Marion Star, oflast week, I we clip the following: "We have received a copy of a paper j published in this State, which out of i four pajres published at home, contains four columns of reading matter-=the other 20 columns filled up with adver tisements. This is no doubt interest ing to the publisher und editor- -fills the pocket of the publisher, and. makes work light for"the editor." J Our contemporary is very much mis j taken if it thinks that so short sighted I a policy as it describes above will ever j Jill an editor's pocket. There is but one way to publish a successful news paper, and that is to make it enterpris ing and newsy. Cutting off! reading matter to insert cheap advertisements is a sure road to failure. People won't take a paper that has nothing but ad vertisements in it, and we don't blame them. Our plan is to put in just as much reading matter as possible and charge a good price for advertising. It has paid us and we suggest the same to other publishers. To tbc Patrons and Friends cf Sheridan1? School. In order that we may correct^he false reports concerning the illness of some of yva students, we publish here with the t vtttement of Dr. A. S. Hy drick. the attending Physician. H. G. Sheridan^ Principal. Okanoeburg. S. C, iDec. 8th, 1888. CapL H. Q. Sheridan.' 4 Dear Sir :?Being informed that it is generally rumored that the young men recently ill at your boarding school were afllicted with scarlet fever, and believing that if such a report should gain public credence it would be detri mental to your school, I feel it to be my duty, and it certainly is a ple;isure, to give a correct statement of the char acter of the disease by which they were attacked. It was a simple catarrhal disorder of the throat which responded promptly to treatment. It was in no sense of the word a "contagious" disease. You are authorized to make such use of the above as will in your judgement best subserve its purpose. Very respectfully yours, A. S. IlYDRICK, M. D. Seed Cotton Traffic. Editor Times and Democrat : ? It looks as if our members to the Legislature does not intend paying.any attention to the Grand Jury present ment in regards the seed cotton traffic. All honest farmers and merchants are in favor of suppressing it. , Introduce a bill,'gentleihen;'for its suppression, or license it so high as to make it un profitable, and if the bill is defeated let us know who did it. Any man favor ing the seed cotton traffic is no lit rep resentative for the farmers and should be left at home, and will be two years hence, as that will be one of the ques tions at issue. Reform: ' Orangeburg, Dec. 7,188?. - Frlchtcning the Ncjrroe?. Charleston, S. C, December 6.? The farmers of Barowell Gounfcfafre much excited over the efforts of wf emigration agent to induce colored laborers to goto Arkansas. He promises S20 a month to all men, and tells them there is to?be a war of races in South Carolina very soon, and their safety de pends on their getting out oi the coun try. Five engines, with threepassenger coaches, he says, will leave Blackville January 15. Hundreds of negres are preparing to go. Within a week sever al paaties have gone from Hampton, Aiken and Barnwell Counties. Since the defeat of Smalls for Congress they say that there is no chance for them in politics here, as the ballot box and registration laws practically disfran chise them. They are also dissatisfied with the landlord's priority lien law, and say that they are in slavery its much as they ever were before the war. The law gives landlords the first lien on the crop of renters. Merchants are unwilling to make advances on the security of a second lien, so that renters are forced to depend on the landlords for supplies, '"he renters say that the landlords charge such enormous prices that every year puts them further in debt.?Special to New York World. Death of Mrs. KatiKotn. We clip the following from the Co lumbia Record of the 7th instant: It is with sadness and regret that we have learned that Mrs. Betty C. Ransom, the pure Christian wife of Col. L. A. Ran som, breathed her hast in this city at 8 o'clock A. M. Mrs. Ransom was born in Virginia, and decended from one of the old families of that Commonwealth. She united herself in early girlhood with the Baptist Church, ami was a consistent Christian, an affectionate wife, a fond mother and a sincere friend, and has exemplified by her life every virtue that can adorn the life of woman. The many friends of Col. Ransom and family extend to them their heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of deepest affliction and sorrow. Perished in the Flamen. ISaltimork, December 7.?Fire oc curred early this morningin two frame buildings on Eutaw street near Preston, which were destroyed, together with all the furniture. The police rescued thirteen persons from the buildings but could not find Mrs. Ami Peck,aged 90 years. Her body, burned to a crisp, was after the lire found in a third storv room. The damage by fire was about S2.500. A large number of the students ot Erskine College at Due West celebrated Thanksgiving Day by repairing to the female college campus in a body and treating the girls to an old-fashioned tin pan and tin horn serenade. The investigation of the matter by the faculty of Erskine resulted in the ex pulsion of the leader of the mob and the temporary suspension of forty seven other students. A cutting affray occurred at Roefc Hill Monday between a blacksmith named McGaskill and a brickmasor named Means, in which the fonnei stubbed the latter in the breast. A man named Aldrich ran in to separat* the combatants and wjis severely cut on the hand.

VISIT TO MINER'S HILL ONE OF THE PLACES"CELEBRATED IN THE HISTORY OF MORMONISM. ?Too Smith and His Bible?Dictating to an Amnnnennifl?Ono of the Dupes?Cavo on Miner's Hill ? Bringing Out the Book. On returning to the village of Palmyra we visited another hill which is celebrated in the annals of Mormon history. In order that the reader may understand the significance of this hill we must go hack to Joe Smith and his bible. The book, which, by the way, no one ever saw, w?s said to consist of metal plates, pierced on one edge, and fastened to gether by rings which passed through the holes. With the book was also found, or so pretended, a huge pair of spectacles, too large for any moptal eyes, whloh had the remarkable quality of turning the hieroglyphics on the metal plates into plain English. Smith's scheme required the publica tion of his bible. How was he to accomp lish this? No one was allowed to see the metal plates, and jet Smith could not write a legible hand. An accomplice was necessary. But Smith was equal to the occasion. He engaged one Oliver Cow dery, a school-teacher, to be his scribe, promising him port of the proceeds of the book. The Smiths were then living In a little, one-story log house. There were only two rooms on the ground floor, with a pointed garret in the roof. Across one corner of this garret Smith had a blanket screen h trete bed. Behind this screen he ensconced himself with his magic spec tacles and his golden book (or, as Hussey affirms, his tile brick). Cowdery sat on the other side of the blanket and wrote from Smith's dictation. ONE OF THE DUPES. Martin Harris, a wealthy farmer, was Induced to bear the expense of printing the manuscript. But Harris' wife was a woman of too much good sense to be Smith's dupe. So in the absence of her husbnnd she put the manuscript In the stove and burnt it up. Here was a check in the proceeding, and one, too, that filled Smith with dismay. He and Harris were morally certain that Mrs. Harris had taken the manuscript, but they did not know it was burned. Smith was unable to reproduce the book exactly, uud he feared that the first manuscript would be pro duced to confound him. However, it wasn't a time to give up. He and his friends repaired to Miner's hill by night, aud there dug a s ivt of cave on the east side of the hill. The dimensions of this cave were forty feet deep, sixteen feet wide, and seven feet high. The entrance was secured by a substantial door of two inch oak plank. In this dark care Smith set about producing a new manuscript, Cowdery ?tili acting as an amanuensis. This copy was more securely guarded; it is that from which the Mormon bible was p rinted in 1899..' ? Miner's hill is about two and a half miles south of Palmyra. In appearance H it similar to Mormon hill, and Uli? it runs off to the south in a ridge. In the days of Smith it was heavily wooded. When we vi?ited the hill the timber hod been cut down, and the whole was a slashing filled with stumps, briers and burrs. We had little difficulty In finding what used to be the cave. It is situated inst below the brow of the hllL Fifty-six years, however, have left their ravages. Instead of a cave we found quite a depres sion where the earth had given way and fallon in. The door had long since disap peared. The door-frame, however, still stands there, buried more than half the wuy up in the earth. The frame is roughly made, the sides not being mor tised int'i the top, but simply secured by three large spikes driven through each end of the top piece. We took our knife and cut off a piece of the wood. It was as sound as when the frame was first made. Hundreds of people, we were tolil, annually visit Mormon hUl; but few ever wend their way through the burrs aud briers of Miner's hllL PRINTED AT LAST. After a good deal of demurring Mr. Egbert B. Grandln, the publisher of The Wayne Sentinel, contracted to do the printing. An edition of 5,000 copies was ordered. The price agreed upon was $3,000. Harris pledging himself to pay the moiK'y. It happened that at that time the lending compositor in Mr. Grandin's office was Mr. John H. Gilbert. Mr. Gil bert, or, as he Is now called, MaJ. Gilbert, Is to-day a hale man of 85 years. It was our good fortune to meet him and have a long talk about the early days of Mor monism. He had the chief operative trust of the typesetting and presswork He got out the first form. There were In all 58S pa?es of the bible, and of these Gil bert set up with his own hands over 500. The original instructions were that no alterations whatever from the copy were to be mnde. But under Gilbert's earnest protcstutions these instructions were re scinded. Cowdery, though a tolerable penman, was poor in syntax, orthography, punctation. etc. The c*?py furnished him, Mr. Gllhert assured us, was a solid mass. There was no punctuation, very few capitals, no paragraphs. Joe Smith kept iu the background. Gil bert only saw him twice?once In the of fice for a few minutes and once on the street Hyrum Smith, his brother, brought the copy to the office every morn ing, in installments of twenty-four pages, buttoned up iu his vest, Hnd came foi them at night. But after much friendly expostulation Smith in about ten days re la.\cd his vigilance, and permitted Gil bert to take the manuscript home to cor rect and punctuate. This was on Gil bert's word that he would be responsible for the copy. Grnndiii read most of the proof: Gilbert re;>d the rest. The con tract price of the printing was faithfully paid by Harris. David Whitmer, whe now lives in Richmond, Mo., has the original manuscript. A man living ic Williamson, Wayne county, N. Y., huj the press ou whrch the book was printed. The book was seven months In printing? that is, from August, 1829, to March 183Q. Mr. Gilbert has one copy of the orlg inal edition of the Mormon Bible. II bos never been bound, but is in loose leaves. He has been otfered $100 for it, but wants $500. He thinks It ought U bo procured for the library at Washing ton.
