It is distressing when the affectionate lies of years are severed, foi the \v isdoni i)l" the world litis declared (lint old friendships arc (lie truest , hut conies our long-time friend, lOdilor IVlly, til' 111 c Spa rt a tihu r?r newspaper, of Spartanburg, S. with the information that he will sue the Charleston News and Courier and the Observer for mental anguish, for that, iis lie alleges, they uiislcjid him of ;iii<I concerning I he result of the recent election, ;is aforesaid. He ma\ recover from l lie News and Couriei, for it was ever a gay deceiver. l)iil no charge of i!ii- character against the < Uiscrvcr will lie. 11 never prophe- < ^ied. lie furl her allege- and says in , his complaint 111at lie lias no grie\- , a nee a<jain>t I! it* Stalepapcr. of <'o111 11 i > i: i. which i- i ] i Sheriff of South j Carolina and all out-lyimr territorx, h because lie never believed it, ht* i 11 < ) -me I lull il d id u 'i know any het lei 1 hut wa.? holiest in i|s itinera nee. So, I here I ore. lie thinks, lie lia^ cause of action against conteui|ioraries whom he has lierehd'ore trusted.

I he Statepaper. <>| ( oluinhia. made a valiant tiirlit and if "in its ignorance" 4,it was holiest much more desperate wa*- the t i>_'ht and deeper the menial aiiiruish at the terrible result, and therefore Mr. Petty is riirlil iu lia\iiitr no grievance against the Statepaper of Columbia. We thought, however. that the ('harlotte Observer and the ('harlest.on News and Courier, did prophecy Democratic victory and contributed a gander to the campaign fund which was finally rallied in t harlcston tor a good big sum. A gentleman asked us only the other day if we thought a broad, nonpartisan paper, that would tell the trntli as it appeared, and give both sides of all <|iiestions, political and otherwise, without personal abuse of those who differed, could succeed. We doubt it. The people want to be tohl what they want to hear and to read in enthusiastic I)einocrat ic papci down South one would believe all tinrascals were on the Republican side and all the Democrats were saints, that is if they agreed with the partisan editor or paper, but if they del not they were meaner than a Hepublican. I here is need for a broad gatiiie, non-pa rt i sa ii, truthlul newspaper in this section. My that we mean one that will present all views fairlv ami impartially and not have personal enemies to pnrnish, bv unfair ami unjust personal attacks or bv sup pression, and not have personal friends whose interests had to be promoted and whose every little act had t" he exploited as the doinirs of !.rreat statesman. A paper that would s., present the issues and the news that one could say it was lair and impartial whclhei pleasant or not. A paper that coubl and would dieiiss i|iie-iii)ns and issues in a inaiilx ami fair manner ami vvithout desccmllo low ami bitter personal attacks, 'I here is room for a daily paper ol that kind. It would take monev and brain to establish it. The people have become so accustomed to the partisan newspaper that they expect il and a fair and impartial discussion of men and measures would be too tame to suit the public at present with its tastes cultivated to look for harsh words, and the ijueslioninir of the motives of anv one who dares ( ? differ. Let us hope that the time will soon come when the reading public will realize, ami demand, if not iu the nonpartisan paper, thai the present partisan publications shall understand that the public can no longer be foolod to accept personal abuse and hiIlingsgate for argument and fluenc\ for brains. And that a man may dif fer and differ honestly and still be ;? gentleman and not he subject of ridicule or have the purity of his motives questioned. Alabama voted an amendment !*? I he Stale constitution by which Unconvicts of the Slate are to be used on the public roads. That is one filing w.hich should be done in this State. The State farms should be ' " ' 1 ? -. sold and Ilu* convicts put upon the I public highways. ' So tar as throwing' light upon the probable yield, the census figures of' cotton ginned are valueless, unless there is also given an intelligent statement of conditions prevailing in the other vears.?The State. This is correct. The gin tiers reports do not help the cotton growei. , It gives I lie speculator jits', what cotton has been ginned but it does not give the cotton grower any information as |o the amount of cotton on hand in warehouses and in possession of the manufacturers. CURIOUS LAMAS. Subjecting Themselves For Years to ] Senseless and Acute Torture. ' )nce in Tibet we passed two ' young lamas from Kliam. writes Sven lledin in Harper'* Magazine. I hc\ did not walk like ordinary pilgrim-. but literally measured off the ilistance with tlieir own bodies. I.viuu { 11ow;i full length oil I lie ground. 11n \ 1 would .join their hand over their head- and read m prayer, then make . a in.ilk on the road, arise, join their i hands lo<_>elher again over their I ' 11 o I -. a >id. ui'.tl t ering prayer, lake! 1 a feu <|co- t'orward to the mark. I?. j lall lull length mice again and re- i ' peat the entire crrcinony all the was |( round the mountain. Performed j . llii- manner by '' prosj ral ion,'' the- | journey took twenty days. The t wo | lamas we saw hail onlv done about I half the di -tance. and they contentplated doiiej the whole journey twice. < One of them was !o return there a f- i ter having completeil hi< duty a- oil-| grim. The oilier he was harel\ | twenty years old was to pass tinremainder of his earthly life in a dark grotto on the banks of the I'pper Tsangpo. I I' ew form- of sel f moi l i fica l ion 1 ' are of sucli value as iliis life spent in ! the dark. lliis absolute separation ! from the world, from one's followmen and the light of the sun. Tn 1 iinga-gunpa I obtained much valuable information regarding this curious custom. Tn the prayer grotto at Unit place?a little stone hut at the foot of a cliff-?was then a lama who had already been immured for throe years. No one knew him. no one knew whence he came nor what his name was, and even were one to know his name it was forbidden to mention ii before human beings. Hut they told me that the day he went into the grotto lie was followed in most solemn procession by all the red monks of the monastery, and when all the ceremonies prescribed in the holy books had been gone through, the narrow entrance into the grotto had been closed up again. We were standing outside it. I asked the head lama whether he could hear us ' 'Ik. lie replied, "Oh. no, he can neither hear nor see: he is sunk night and dav in profound ineditat ion." "How do you know that he is alive?" "The food (tsamba) which is passed in to him once a day through an underground passage is eaten up In the morning, but should we find the dish untoehed one morning, then we should understand that he had died." A stream Mows through the cave in the day time; by this means he gets water. How wonderful! For davs and \\ee|<-' I could iin| drive the piclure ol this lama out of niv mind. Xevei l" hear a hum-in voice, never gel a ' glimpse of the sun. never to see the!' difference between nielli ami dav, on-! j 1> |o know ol tilt' iporoaeh of win- ! lor by the lowering of the lemperrt-J lure. I pictured to myself the day when he was entombed in the cave. He >ai there alone and watched them I'" np the ooening with blocks of stone, the light growing continually less till finally only a tinv little hole was left. Through this he took his , lasi tarew(d) of I lie sun. and when thai, loo, was finally closed up he remained in complete and utter darkness. Since thai time three years had now elapsed. Tn another temple. like I align absolutely unknown bv Kuropeans. a lama had lived immured iu lliis manner for sixty-nine yea rs. STAT I-', OF SOl'Tl I CAROLINA, COl'NTV OF NI0\YWORRY.
