NX. 1). C. LAND SHARKS FIXING FOR PREY. The Virginia Chemical Com- E pany, known as the fertilizer trust has been buying up the cotton seed oil mills of the At lantic Oil Mill company, whose headquarters are at Sumter, and before the next season opens it will not surprise us if the other mills are gobbled up also. Then farmers look out for a further in- x crease in fertilizer prices, and I whether or not the other mills d are gobbled, the trust will regu- t late the prices, of seed to be t bought, and fertilizer to be sold. r We have not been expecting the Virginia corporation to reach r out into the country to grasp s control of the cotton seed oil r mills, but we have been on the i lookout for the mills to forinu- t late some kind of an understand- s ing with regard to regulating the r prices to be paid for seed, and r the price to sell meal. Of course, C the combination would tix a lower c price for seed and a higher price r for meal. That is what combi- 3 nations are for, and corporations r are organized to give financial t strength to the combines to crush s out opposition, and then monop- y olize to the extent of squeezing e the last cent out of the people t possible. Whenever you see a number of a men putting their money in a c joint stock arrangement the ob- t ject is to make money, and if t there exists any obstruction to control, their combined capital a will squeeze the obstruction by ( forcing it to do business at a dead r loss until the owner must either r sell out to the corporation or t cuit business, then when in pos- e session of an unobstructed field f the cor-poration puts in its work ? of making back with big interest I the money it lost in forcing the q obstruction out of its way, and a the longer the monoply lasts the s more will the people be the suf- t ferers. t There is only one way to pro- a tect ourselves from the clutches I of a combination of capital; and la that is to refuse to patronize such a schemes. If the combination n undertakes to rob the farmer by t: giving him a low price for his ti seed, the farmer should not sell, n but should put his seed back in t] the ground from whence they o came, and if the combination un- o dertakes to extort a high price ia for fertilizers, don't buy, even if f~ the crop is shortened thereby. s What is the use of working in a burning sun to enrich a lot of u bloodsuckers who conspire to gether to rob the people, and it is robbery to stop free and open competition. The farmer is a forced to put his product on the ~ market, and take what the de- a mands will give him, there is no such thing as a combinationi with him to name a price, but with a combination of joint stock comn panies, or cor-porations, common- t ly known as trusts, the price is named and forced. The prices our farmers wereb forced to pay for fertilizers for 0 the present crop, cannot be paid with a profit at the ordinary prices for cotton, and even if P U cotton should go as high as eight cents. we cannot see any profit to warrant the prices for fertili zers; then, wher-e is the sense in c a farmer wasting his substance ~ in a profitless task. It would beh r t let all lands that cannot ~be worked without fertilizer lay ide hnto put nine cent fer tilizer into an eight crop. The farmer who can make his crop without the use of commercial a fer-tilizers will be the man who c can look you in the face an in dependant man, and can snap his fingers into the faces of, and defy ~ combinations and trusts. He does not have to scorn his manhood byt groveling in the dust of humilia-r tion to ask for mercy to save his corn crib or his home, but whata he has made, little though it be, it is his, to do with as he pleases. r -~ t< GETTING CI.OSER TOGETHER. The Merchants Exchanige of V Charleston has taken hold with n enthusiasm Captain Thomas Wil- ia son's project to put Charleston b and this entire section of country g in closer touch with the nor-th tl and west, through a road to be ni built to connect with the Nor- 0 folk and Western r-ailroad at H Winston-Salem. This p)rojected d r-oad will r-educe the fieght rates u on coal from the fields in Penn- Il sylvania and Virginia at least 11 forty cents a toin and all othiei freights coining this way in t p~roportion. The leading spirit ini tis mnovemient is Captain Tihomnas Wilson, who laid his c plans perfectly, and had cver-y- e thing in hand to begin operations b befor-e tihe p)ublic knew anything s about it. Charleston is v-erv tl properly giving this project an h enthusiastic support, for- her- d business men readily see the ad- t< vantage that city will have when u the connection is made. It is d ished. But should such a ques-! ion be asked, let the answer be, as Captain Wilson ever under-' aken a business venture which urned out anything less than a agniticent success. By linking 'harleston and Winston closer ogether, a new avenue for busi ess is opened, trade finds new iarkets, and the advantages hus created will infuse new )lOOd and new life into the busi ess arteries of the city. Has he venture the monev Yes. \s soon as Captain WV ilson made mnown his plans to somei money d business men in Charleston her did not hesitate to subscribe o t'he stock, the fact that it was is schome, comimfenide-lhd it to heir business judgment, and heir conlidence in his ability nd integrity made them anxious tivestors. We also know of an stance, where Captain Wilson mnfolded his plan to a wealthy aan living in an adjoining State, Vho immediately subscribed for 25,000 worth of the stock and poke for $100,000 dollars of the >onds. We are glad indeed to ee the business interests of 'harleston so enthusiastic over aptain Wilson's venture. HE WON'T PLAY ANY MORE. In the last issue of the Green ille Mountaineer Col. James A. loyt editor and defeated candi ate for governor, gives notice hat he has manufactured a stat .ary stare which he proposes to esort to, if we ever rush him ato a corner again. It will be emembered that in our last is ue we undertook to correct a iistake we made in a preceding ;sue, wherein we stated that he State Executive Committee!, tretched the oath required by ules, in order that Colonc1 Hoyt I aight be admitted, and when olonel Hoyt pointed out to us ur error, we took pleasure in aking the acknowledgment. Ve acknowledged that we were listaken in saying the commit ee "stretched the oath," but we uggested that inasmuch as the iarty rules required an oath, in ffect, that a candidate was not he nominee of a faction either iublicly or privately suggested, nd the fact was, that a public onvention was held, with all of he machinery of a distinct fac I ion, and it adopted a platform of rinciples, and then balloted for nominee which resulted in ol. James A. Hoyt getting a few lore votes than the others who t an against him in that conven ion, and he was thereby declar d the nominee. Now in the ice of these circumstances he les with the chairman of the lemocratic party the pledge re uired by the party rules, and a fter acknowledging our error in , aying the committee "stretched 1 die oath" and because suggested tt we would have been more ecurate in saying that Colonel I [ovt '"stretched his conscience," e perspires under the collar. nd gives notice that he will not otice anything coming from1 ts source any more. Too bad, >o bad, too bad. Well, if by ot noticing anything more from :is source, will heal the scab on ur friend's head and clear him Sthe biliousness he contracted i going over the State hunting >r votes that he did not get, we aall try to bear it. NCI.E BEN PUMPS HOT AIR IN GEORGIA. In last Sunday's issue of the Lugusta Herald there appeared n interview from Senator Till ian in which he denounced Sen tor McLaurin in language more lphurous than elegant, and in hichi he intimated that the edi r of this newspaper was a fac r in influencing Governor Mc- 1 weeney's action in returning f 1se resignations. The senior enator does us too much honor, t if he is correct,we feel proud r the result, because the Gov- t enor's action saved the people .t 1e annoyance of a bitter cani-C aign for which they were totally nprepared. We think Senator illman mistaken in this matter: enator McLaurin's friends werec nspicuous for their absence hen the Governor returned ome. It so happened that we ere in Columbia on his return, nd expressed the opinion that would be a gmeat misfortune to rce the people into an exciting upaign this year. This wa.s , tid after Col. Wilie Jones, the ' Lairman of the Democratic com- I ittee, had expressed a similar iew after having had a talk withi enator Tillman only a few I ours before. We are satisfied Cf tat not one of Senator McLau- i n's friends approached thei ~overnor on the subject until t fter lie was first approached by e olonel Jones, who is a friend of 'illman. All of this newspaper wing has become very irksome s the people and the sooner it isC Lopped the better the people e il like it, for there is absolutely I othing of an educational value e the word-slugging that has, een goirng on, and unless these entlemen can say something for t 1 public good, the people do f ot care to know what they think ' f each other. When the regu t primary comes oii the candi-t ates can discuss the issues, buti ntil then, give us a rest. If the' eople care to hear any of them the meantime let them extend < ivitations to those they desire t address them. Tfhe News and Courier has a i ity reporter who is making~ earn st etforts at trying to be funnyi y imitating the Chimmy Faddin < ang, but if the chap only knewi tat the board of hea'th is watch ig his stuff and ready to pounce j own it as decayed matter, liable< > attract blow-fies, and other- r -ise become obntoxious, if not angerous to the commiunity, lie rind of a disinfectant before al owing t m to come in contact ,vith the atmosphere. If the au :hor of the Chimmy Fadden style >f slang was to pick up a copy of the News and Courier and read what "The sage from Gray Lables" has to say in Monday's .ssue, lie would rush into the warest blind tiger and drown his ;olTOw. Among the delegates to the [ndustrial Convention in session it Philadelphia last week was Maj. J. C. Hemphill, the editor >f the News and Courier, and liis picture appeared among the listinguished members, in the North American. We know it was Major Ilemphill's picture because his name was beneath it, but that is the only way it would have been :cecognized, the Major is sitting in a chair with ils legs crossed and his fingers Interlocked across one knee hold ng a palmetto fan, clenched be nween his teeth is a cigar, and rroi his drawn features, we ould imagine the cigar to be a wo-fer. Everybody who knows Major Hemphill will agree that ie is a very handsome man, but f they should see that picture :hey would reach the conclusion hat he has good grounds for a ibel suit. The Columbia State of 17th nst. says it has information from an authorized source that 3enator Tillman is aware of, and tpproves of the scheme to rule McLaurin out of the coming 3rimary. We do not believe hat Senator Tillman approves >f anything of the kind, because -e have too much confidence in uis good sense to believe that ae would lend himself to iny such scheme. Tillman may >e an ingrate but he is no fool, ind if McLaurin did make him ealous, because he succeeded ,vhere Tillman failed in the ex >osition matter, he has the good iorse sense not to destroy our >rimary system-it was the )ridge that carried him over afely. Whenever the primary ;ystem becomes so, that to make L man eligible he must swear hat he swallows everything dic ated to him by a few leaders, he people will refuse to submit o such tyranny. The primary nust and shall be for every ,vhite man to express himself in, here there shall be f r e e hought, free speech, an honest )allot, and a submission to the vill of the majority. A few scheming politicians for emporary success may under ake to capture the county con ~entions to send pliant tools to he State convention, but they vill find themselves met at the .hreshold by honest white men vho will protest against unfair actics, and when that time comes ye expect Senator Tilhinan to ad ise against any action which will >revent the people from exer ising a free judgment. He is oo good a politician 'to do other vse. Deafness Cannot be Cured y' local applications, as they cannot reach the iseased portion of the ear.

The Sabbath and Woman were God's ist and best thoughts for man's wel ire. A devout perusal of the biblical ecount of the institution of the one and lie creation of the other will enforce ais conviction upon unprejudiced uinds. Therefrom it will also be seen lint Worship and Companionship are vo accentuated needs of man. More ver, the fact should be recognized that omanhood. the crowning product of reative power and wisdom, is no less 2ered in the eyes of God than is the abbath: both were madec for man. Ld mnan's highest good demands a due egard for these prle-emninent gifts of tod. Fearful penalties fol low~ swiftly pon a disregard of duty toward them. In considering the Sanctity of Womn nhood, let us find satisfactory answers >three pertinent qiuestions: I. IN WHAT DoES IT CONSIsT? (1) Super-excellence of her physical, 2tellectual and religious culture. If 'omanhood is to futill the high and oy ottices thereunto assianed in the rovidence of God, the demand for such 'aining is imperativ'e. The duties of ister, wife and mother are unsurpassed 2 responsibility. To perform accepta ly and efficiently the delicate and diffi ult tasks assigned them, requires the allest equipment of body, mind and eart. To deny them this equipment ian imposition far greater and mot'e rannical than that of the Egyptians xacting brick without supplying the ecessary straw to the overtasked He rews. No higher' duty devolves upon arents and guardians. Not that they hould favor their sons less, but the aughters more, in view of the higher eslonsibilities placed upon them by an lwise God. A nation's character is nown by woman's place in it. So, also, man's. (2) Stainlessness of her reputation. L woman's rep~utation is priceless; it is .er passport in social life. You brush romn the grape that soft blue, or shake co the rose that tremulous dew, and ou mar fot'ever a life: "Good name in orman," as the poet avers, " is the im mediate jewel of het' soul." It is also he streugth of her resolution. Shrink ag fromn the, to her, awful blight of a oiled reputtation, she is utterly help ss. Powerless to reassert her elaim a chastity, trutthfuilness oir other virtue, en when entirely innocent she yields : the crushing weight of false stigma d pines away and dies. Seldom can he survive a blasted reputation. 1-ow arkly criminal, then, must be the con uct or carelessness, whether her own r another's, which brings the blight: (3) Sacredness of her person. This duly recognized in highly civilized ountries. The degree of civilization registered thereby, and no less in the 2dividual than in the nation. Florence ightingale. Elizabeth Fry and Clara ~aton on the tented fields and in pris s laboring, knew no peril of person orally. The chivalry of the soldier' d the purity of the woman for'hade it. 'he sacredness in which she holds her wn person marks the degree of esteem a whi.Ach se isl hlwb ali clase of men. A woman who allows herself t be handled, after the ynanner of som unprincipled suitors, deserves the cor tempt of respectable society. Ever pure hearted woman is sensible of painful shock when the opposite se takes any undue liberty with her pei son. She spurns alike the sentiment swain toying with her hands as he sit by her side, the boorish gallant wh grasps her arm under the shameles pretense of protection as her escort. th wanton worshipper of her charms wh asks permission to clasp her person i the warm embraces of the moder dance. She spurns them because sh knows each is inispired not by a bene' olent, but selfish and ignoble love. An also, because she knows as by a divin instinct that she will herself suffe thereby loss irretrievable. Firstly. loss of self-respect, than which there i scarce a sadder. Secondly, a loss c maidenly purity, over which angel weep. Vestal virgins of old had n trust so holy committed to then as la womr.an today of keeping inviolate th sacredness of her person-a templEr it deed. Due regard herein also forbid a pure hearted woman wearing volui tuous apparel. A thoughtful perso has asked, "Are any women ever sim pleminded enough to suppose that th attrmctions of very low-necked dresse ever stir the hearts of noble manhood Does any woman think that such 'shows ever arouse in a pure man any feeling other than those of pity and disgust What excuse can he offered for thi half dress styleye Verily none, unles the wearer. by placing her bunting a 'half mast' me ins it as a token of re spect for departed modesty." A recent writer says, " The pure, in nocent woman ought to have too mucl regard for her purity and man's weak ness to wear such clothes." A latter-day device of satanic shrewd ness for obtunding woman's conscienc concerning the sacredness of her per son, has been exposed and condemnet vigorously by Rev. Sam P. Jones as fol lows: "I wish I had about five minutes oi that arm-clutch. It does not argue tha a girl is not virtuous if you see her wit a, boy's arm clutched in hers: but I tel you, he ain't. One or the other lack virtue-maybe both. 'He that thinketl on these things hath already becomi unclean in his heart.' The girl is per haps virtuous, but she has a mighty lov down groveling sense of propriety: anc the fellow, I would not trust him as fai as I could throw this tent. Renembei tnat. young lady, the next time hi grabs you. Young lad, listen! 1 ov4 your character, your virtue, your higi reputation; but in the name of God make these boys keep .their hands t< themselves! Say to them. 'You mus never lay your hands on my person. This is business, young ladies." II. SHALL THE CHIVALRY OF MAN HOOD DENY IT HER? The highest earthly trust committe to man is the protection of womanhoo< against the multitude of evils that im peril her personal purity, and making the wisest possible provision for hei culture and advantage. He is by di vine appointment her only guardian His chivalry ignobly (lies when a mat betrays this honorable trust. The day of knightly honor will ne'er be past however, so long as our young men o noble birth and nobler manhood cham pion a cause so fraught with weal t< earth. It is to the chivalry of stronc young manhood woman must look foi the defense and development of all tha is pure, beautiful and good in her char actei. She will not look in vain! I view of the fact. however, that huma; nature is much the same in all ages c the world, and remembering how th< traders in the temple courts encroache' upon its sacred precincts, the fea1 arises lest a trend toward desecratiot in this equally sacred sphere also fini license in the hearts and lives of men. III. WILL SHE DEMAND IT FO] HERSELF AND POSTERITY? The price you set upom yourself, C Woman, wvill be paid! And posterit; will accordingly curse or bless th< memory of you. Therefore hold your self--your character-at the high esti mate your maker values y ou and secure by proving your worth and high pur pose, the best helps to the largest lif and sphere of usefulness you can comn mand. Plaudits and crowns await such The key columns of ancient architec ture, as iIn the temple of Dagon at Gaza received the main weight of the roo and the galleries thereunto attached The temple of Society is thus support ed by the Sabbath and Womanhood. These columns of strength and beauta kept inviolate, our social structure is sure. But if the Sampson of Sensuality be allowed to place his polluting palms 0 power upon these divinely ordained pil lars, our social and national life as well is doomed. WV. A. BETTS. Jordan, S. C.

I BAD GO6D, BAD COM IXION. The skin is the seat of an almost end. 1 less variety of disca3cs. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in f the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. > To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure e and healthy. The many preparations of t arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up 1for- a short time, but cannot remove per f mianently the ugly blotdies and the red, Sdisfiguring pimples. Eter'nal vigilance Is the peloe of a beautiful oomploxionu when such remedies are relied or. Mr. H. T. Shcbe. 2704 I,ueas Avenue, St. Louis. Mo., says : " My daughter was afflicted for y~ears' twith a disfnguring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but rgceivedi no bene )fit. Mainy moedicines were prescribed, but with .out result, until we decided to try S. S. S., and by 'the tinme the first bottle w as fi nished the eruption began to disappear. A dozen bottles aured her .eompletely and left her skin perfectly smooth. She is now seventeen years old, and not a sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned." S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable. Bad blood makes bad complexions. -purifies a nd invigo rates the old and makes new, rich blood that nourishes the skin active and healthy and in proper condition to p er f orm its part towards carrying off the impurities from the body.
