The Fitzsimmons and Corbett ex
hibition of rowdyism is a- thing of
the past. Corbett was knooked out
on the fourteenth round and he wants
another show. He believes he can
whip Fitzsimmons. Congress should
put a stop to prize fighting.
When Governor J. Gary Evans put
the Metropolitan police on Charles
ton, a great many, even some of his
~.fdriedubted the wisdom of the
step, but recents have given conclu
sive evidence that the Governor
-acted properly and wisely. The ac
tion of the -law-abiding citizens of
Charleston is a vindication of Gover
nor Evan's course in regard to the
police matter.
A Mrs. K. Sisk, in Monday's "News
and Courier," comes out and wants
-Goveinor Ellerbe to keep his prom
ise to remove the Metropolitan police.
The lady might employ her time to
better service by doing missionary
work among Charleston's Cit~y Coun
cil and teach them that it is a crime
in the sight of God and man to
violate an oath. The councilmen
swore on being inducted into office
that they would enforce the laws of
the city and State, and now some of
them openly refuse to enforce a
Statute because they are opposed to
the law and because it operates
against their indi'!idual business
interests.
The only criticisms of any, kind
that we have so far noticed of Sena
tor Earle, comes from those news
papers which supported him in the
primary campaign. The newspapers
that were opposed to him have shown
a disposition to treat him kindly. It
is reported by the Senator's newspa
per friends that the Senator has made
his son his private Secretary and be
cause he has, such 'papers as the Sum
ter "Herald," thinks "a grave mistake
has been made, and one which will
injure the new Senator very much.''
We annot see why it should injure him.
Does it not add $1,200 a year more to
the income of the Senator?If we could
have $1,200 more put to our income
we would not feel like bringing suit
for damages for injuries done us.
Congressman McLaurin created
a sensation by his speech on the tariff
yesterday. It wats the effort of his
life and we will endeavor to repro
duce it next week. The correspondent
from Washington says: "McLaurin's
speech was the event of the day in
the House, because of its able advo
cacy of the doctrine of protecting
Southern 'raw materials,' and especi
ally cotton. As the first of the new
Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee, all of whom
hold this doctrine, to address the
House,McLauirinl receifved especial at
tention, and many congratulations,
not only on the argument he made,
but also on the admirable way in
which he parried the interrogatior~s
with which he was attacked."
The tariff tinkers have about laid
their plans to carry out the adminis
tration measures, and after some de
bate the high tariff idea of the Re
publican party will be enacted into
la. Prices of all manufacrdr goods
will rise and the people dependent on
agriculture will have to grin and
bear it. Congressman McLaurin has
introduced a resolution to put a duty
of -. i-2 cents per pound on cotton
and if it goes through it will be a
great boon to the cotton growers of
the South. Foreign cotton is now
brought into competition with our
products and the speculators take
advantage of it to depress prices, but
with a duty on, the competition
ceases and "King Cotton" will once
again reign supreme.
The Government has been sending
out through the representatives,
various kind of seed, and now comes
the seedsmen with a great big kick
against the practice. They have
issued circular letters and spread
them broad-cast among the editors,
imploring them to make war against
the free distribution of seed. We are
among the number asked to come to
the relief of the seedsmen and our
jetter came froi the head of the very
concern the Government bought
seed from.
We believe that'great good has re
sulted from the free distribution of
seeds and we hope the practice will
continue. The experiments which
have followed the introduction of new
seed have often been the cause of
changing the system of farming in
the communities where the experi
ments were made and the results
show a vast amount of good.
The State Sinking Fund Commis
sion is authorized to loan money to
the various counties at an interest
rate of five per cent. This is a good
thing for counties in debt, and with
proper business management the
money borrowed can put the county
on a cash paying basis, which will be
a saving of many times the interest
paid. This county is forced to bor
row money every year in order to
meet court expenses, of course the
bank nor any other private institution
can afford to make loans at five per
cent, because their money is worth
more to them. The Sinking Fund
Commission can afford to take five
per cent because it does not lend
money for the purpose of profit. We
hope that when the conmmissioners
meet they will authorize the Super
visor to borrow the necessary money
to run the connty and then when the
loan is obtained that every piece of
work done will be paid for in cash
when completed.
Will the Demderatic Party Take
We observe that the goldbug pa
pers of the Bourbon order, that de
fended the Cleveland-McKinley com
bine in the last campaign, are dis
cussing compromise and harmony
between the Democratic party and
the English Tory and Swiss soldiers
of the Cleveland, Carlisle Hill stripe.
In other words they propose to
poison the Democratic party with its
own vomit and introduce a sufficient
dose of the deadly drug of the Indian
apolis excrescence to expel from that
great organization every person who
seeks to avoid contamination and the
dregs of poverty with which the gold
bugs supply the cpuntry. They
know full wvell the repulsive force of
English Tories, who were kicked out
of the Democratic party last year,
and are laboring not only to disrupt
the party, but to prevent honest sil
ver Republicans and Populists from
again co-operating with the organi
ation. If they can make the organ
ization sufficiently vile and odious to
keep patriotic citizens out of it they
are confident of the success of the
gold combination through the instru
mentality of its natural ally the Re
publican party. We warn the new
Democracy that if they abate one jot
>r tittle of the demands of the Chica
go platform on the money question,
there will be nothing left for Popu
lists and silver Riepublicans but to
act independently ansi in opposition
to the Democratic party. We do net
make these remarks because we think
there is the slightest danger of the
regenerated Democracy taking to
their breast and warming the ser
pent which they cast out, and giving
him new life to set his fangs into the
organization and poison and destroy
it. The serpent that beguiled Eve
was not more insidious and false than
the Cleveland Democracy which is
now seeking the destruction of the
party which they betrayed. What
would have been said of Washington
if he had called Benedict Arnold back
and given him command of the Con
tinential forces? And what will be
said of the leaders of the Chicago
Democracy if they call back the trait
ors who betrayed and defeated them
in the last election? We warn those
in command of the destinies of the
new Democracy that there is danger
in the slightest semblance of recon
ilation, much less union, with the
Cleveland Democracy, or any other
Democracy that did not give cordial
support to the Chicago platform and
to the election of Bryan. The restora-'
tion, either of the skulkers or the
aiders or abettors of the Indianapolis
:onentionr to command in the Dem
:cratic party will drive into other
parties at least one-half of the Demo
rats who voted for Bryan, and all
those belonging to other parties, who
onstituted between one-third and
ne-half of the grand total of six and
half :millions who acted with the
Democratic party to obtain relief
rom intolerable evils.
Altgeld has set the pace in Chica
o, and driven the Hessians and
Swiss soldiers out of the party, and
ompelled them to masquerade un
cler the name of a "business men's
arty," with '-Wash" Hessing, Cleve
and's old postmaster, as nominee for
ayor. Good for Altgeld! His ex
unple will be followed in the West
md South, and should be followed!
verywhere, One more word to Dem
crats. The reorganization of the
emocratic party with goldbugs in
ommand might at one time have
and emoluments in conjunction with
the Republicans. But that time has
passed. There are other organiza
tions row that are willing to asso
ciate and co-operate with the regen
erated Democracy of Chicago, but
who will not associate with any or
ganization which includes in its mem
bership the traitors who were cost
out.-Silver Knight.
It Appears Ugly.
M. EDITo:-I saw in your paper,
the issue of the 10th, inst., wherein a
conversation between you and a busi
ness man of this town, in which the
question was asked, after viewing a
number of hail, hearty men loitering
around the street: "How do they
live*?" I became interested in your
apparent solution.
We thank you for condemning this
evil, only wish you cou!d say some
thing that would put a stop to it.
But we are forced to differ with you
a little. Your solution may be good,
but not complete, namely: "They
have a wife or sweetheart in the
white folks' yard." Facts place the
problem in a different light. You
can find more by two, in that non-in
dustrious band, who haven't wives or
"sweethearts in the white folks'yard."
Their wives are satisfied-don't
look for anything.
The purport of this article is, if
possible, to clothe itin its right gar
ment.
We find a-growing evil in our town,
which tends to make drones. Scat
tering hopes of a living without la
boring, makes sluggards of our boys;
changes the minds of the industrious
into waywardness; seizes the strong
with its iron hands of depravity and
changes his love for God and human
ity into a foolish fancy; defies the
sacred decalogue and makes a brute
of its possession.
IV think that the better element
of our people, be it white or black,
ouht to frown upon the habit of
gambling. Is not there force'enough in
the scene presented to us daily to
convince us that it is allied to every
thing that is dirty and low? A host
of men studiously studying how to
put their hands, as it were into their
neighbors pockets and draw there
from his hard earned dollars.
Does not reason tell us that when
their chicanery fails they will resort
to more daring deeds under circum
stances of bolder nature, for "the
hungry must. be fed," so goes the
maxum of old.
From a passing view, we conclude
that our white friends do us a great
deal of harm by respecting, in their
way, the baser element of our people
and then branding us as a whole with
this infamy.
Our best boys are not known to
you any further than their honest
labor goes; on the other hand, you
are brought in close contact with the
indolent.
The second evil presenting itself to
me is, that a large Dumber of those
men yu saw, are supported by ill
breeded white men, to serve as cats
paw, in accelerating their hellish
deeds upon our weak and forlorn
women. Shame, shame on humanity.
Oh! Anglo-Saxon mothers, don't you
hear the prayers from the depressed
negro mothers in thunder tones, be
seeching your help. You can help
by teaebing your boys to scorn this
evil; impress them with purposes
more exalted; paint this crime in its
most shameful hue.
We would say to our colored moth
ers, do likewise for we admit that
part of our boys are tending to des
truction. A united effort of both
races will sink this evil into oblivion.
When the better element of both
races will condemn these evils and
discriminate against the indulgers,
we believe men will work. I trust, I
will see the day when our town au
thorities will have laws enacted suffi
ient to suppress loafing on our
streets. I am looking for the chain
gang.
Yours for Humanity

Packsville, March 22:-Some of our
farmers are planting corn, others
spreading fertilizers preparitory to
planting cotton. The oat crop is
looking well since the last warm rains.
ur roads are being put in good con
dition by road hands this week. The
free term of school closed here Fri
day and gave an exhibition tljiat night,
which was a grand success. Miss
Maggie Corbett received the prize
for the best recitation and Janie Cut
tin'. the o-ne for best declamation.
There wvere several recitations; among
those needing special mention were
Misses. Elma Geddings, Louise Mc
Enight, Lellie Huggins, Bessie Cor
bett, Portia McKnight and Viola Cor
bett, and of the deciaimers were Ed
ie Brown, Boyd Cole and David
uttino. The principal, Rev. C. M.
Billings, and his efficient assistant,
Miss Annie Hundley, deserve great
redit for the way these children have
been trained. This school numbers
ne hundred and ten pupils and
ught not to close. We hope the pat
ons will feel the great responsibility
esting upon them and have the
school opened right away out of their
private funds and give the children
he best educational advantages poss
ible. This school should run at least
ine months in the year, and it could
easily be done if the patrons would
nly take the proper interest in the
oatter.
Rev. C. M. Billings, pastor of the
Baptist church here, is holding a re
vival meeting which will continue for
several days. He will preach at night
only for the present.
Miss Jane Hodge, an old lady' near

ENGLISH HOP YARDS.
HARVEST SCENES DESCRIBED BY AN
AMERICAN VISITOR.
Work That Requires Application During
Long Days For Small Returns-Pictur
esque Situations, but There Is Too Much
Poverty to Admit of roetry.
Yesterday I spent at Malling, an an
cient market town about 30 miles from
London, which is in the midst of one of
the Lcost fertile and extensive hop dis
tricts in the world, the soil being of the
rich quality that produces the famous
golden hop. I stood on an eminence
and surveyed in every direction the
plantations of tall hops, luxuriant on
the straight, firmly set poles, the deep
green of the vine leaves beautifully
gemmed by the great bunches of golden
flowcr. On a hillside a little distance
to the left were the uniform white tents
of the hop pickers, like the encampment
of an army-for you must know that
the hop pickers are not residents of the
neighborhood. They come from distances
by families, a large proportion of them
from London. And, be it known, the
majority of the hop pickers are wretch
edly poor. The pay for hop picking is
so very little that only by the united
efforts of a family of three or four
workers is tho result of the day's labor
worth the effort. Last year, for exam
ple, the pay for picking was a shilling
for seven bushels, so that a worker Ltd
to complete seven bushels before the
shilling was earned. This year condi
tions are a little better, but at the best
hop picking is only profitable when the
family has six or eight pairs of expert
hands to strip the vines swiftly. Some
of the women have reduced this picking
to an art, the deft facility with which
they take four or five flowers at a time
completely deceiving the novice, who
imagines skill to be nothing in this
business.
The poles in a hopfield are so perfectly
set at right angles that you may look
down a uniform avenue of overhanging
vines in whatever direction you turn
your eyes. But this exactitude is less
for beauty of appearance than for con
venience of arrangement of picking par
ties, for a field is let out in small sec
tions, so many hills-two poles make a
hill-to a family, according as the fam
ily has agreed for half a bin or more.
Therefore, as you walk down the path
that intersects a hopfield, you see here
and there at fixed distances apart the
different independent groups of pickers,
their canvas bins, with wide, flaring
mouths, all of regular size, stretched on
poles and set on crosspieces the length
of their section, and while the man cuts
the vines a third of the way up the poles
and pulls up the poles to carry to the
bin side the women and children inces
santly work from 6 a. n. to 7 p. m.,
save only for the half hour at noon for
dinner. And what a sight it is! At the
very edge of the field where I spent
most time rears, rugged and tall, the
ivy draped tower of St. Leonards, said
to be the very first, and therefore the
oldest, of the Norman towers, the pic
turesque ruins of which so interest the
intelligent visitor to rural England.
This tower was built by Gundulf, bishop
of Rochester, somewhere about 1078-90.
This abbey, by the way, has been re
stored and is once more a home of nuns.
At the foot of this old tower yesterday
rolled and tumbled a score of grimy,
half naked, tatterdemalion children, of
ages running from the infant that should
have been in arms to a pair of 4-year
old twins, in patched, dirty red dresses,
and witb huge brass earrings hiding the
lobes of their unclean little ears. Thuis
did half barbarous young modesty kidk
up its slovenly little legs in contempt of
that still grim though dismantled tower,
built eight centuries ago to repel the
assaults of those savages who were fore
runners of the present day Englishman.
And among the vines yonder were the
motley groups of persons to whom these
little human blots appertained. Not by
any merans as picturesque and fascinit
ing as Italian grape pickers ; nothing'of
the rich, dark beauty of the southern
types, but a different sort of interest at
taches to these hopelessly ignorant, half
vagrant creatures, who have come ,to
the picking-by donkey cart, by train,
on foot-bearing with them their mis
erable utensils for cooking and faring,
in their rags and their tatters, the filth
of which they are not ashamed, sleep
ing by night in tents if they are so for
tunate, behind hedges and under rude
wigwams of boughs, if they must, work
ing from day dawn to evening close for
a mere pittance-yet not wolfish or sur
ly, not rude-iudeed, good natured
when you address them, and in rough
way jocular or in shy way communica
tive. Here and there, to be sure, some
thing more pretentious, the epitome of
lower middle class shift and tidiness,
but in the main a hop picking scene
such as you may witness at Malling
tells you what pitiful poverty and
wretchedness are hidden from the world
by the purple splendor of the richest na
tion upon which the curious sun looks
askance.
Fill in imaginatively the picture of
which I have given but true outlines.
Scan the hillside encampment, where in
fancy and age swarm about the evening
fires. Walk through the fields of vine girt
poles, that seem a compact mass as you
look down upon them. Talk with thes3
women and children stripping the yel
low flowers swiftly froni the stems.
Glance at the various troops of thought
lessly begotten infants rolling on the
green grass or burrowing in the soft
earth, and then, as you blow the froth
from your next glass of beer, ref ect
how 'the best hops yielded by bountiful
nature are gathered for your benefit.

Growing the Bermuda Lily.
"The Bermuda lily should be planted
in deep pots," writes Eben E. Rexford
in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Put in
a shallow layer of soil over the drain
age material when you pot the bulbs of
this plant, and on this plaeo the bulb,
which should be covered lightly. Leave
it like this until n stalk starts. Then
fill in, as this stalk reaches up, until the
pot is full of compost. I would not ad
vise the use of any fertilizer af ter bring
ing a plant to the light if the compost
in which it was planted contained an
ordinary amount of nutriment. Develop
ment is quite likely to be sufficiently
rapid in ordinary rich soil, and the ap
plication of a stimulant will so hasten
it that the plant will be forced beyond
healthy limits. Watch the plants when
in the cellar and give a little water now
and then if needed. Aim to keep the
soil moist-never wet. When you bring
them up, do not place them at once in a
very warm room. A room adjoining one
in which there is a fire is better for
them, if it is frostproof, than one in
which the heat is likely to run up to a
high figure. When they come into
bloom, be sure to keep them as cool as
nossi ble if you want the flowers to last."
