DRIVE THEM OUT FROM THE TEMPLE. e We note in News and Courier's Columbia correspondence of 7th inst., the usurious money-sharks n have again pitched their tents in that cityand the authorities will 0 take a Iand in putting the law to P them. These grafters are not confined to the large cities alone. t they are every where, and in all 0 manner of ways do they fleece a helpless people; in the country towns the grafting is done by a set of men who pose as "busi- t< ness men," and would resent with indignation any intimation P that they are on a par with the C class that cities are infested with, " and which for the public welfare e the authorities feel called upon to prosecute and drive out of a their nefarious business. These money-sharks under the cover of "business" are nothing- but s ,-common thieves, they seek to s - get within their clutches a help- e less victim, and by a system of S gouging, unlawful i n t e r e st a charges, and coercion, extort and r virtually rob those who patron ize them. The class of men who do these t things, care not whom they f fleece; we have in mind a case which happened within 'phone distance of where we write: a poor old confederate soldier, s badly in need of a few dollars, went to a merchant, borrowed five dollars, and give an order to the clerk of court for his pen- i sion check, when the pension money arrived he was made to ac pay $9.75 for the 5 he borrow- i ed, thus paying for a few months T V nearly 100 per cent interest. An- v other case where a man borrow -ed $10 for 30 days, giving as se- d curity a mortgage of a fine cow, d the interest charged was $2.50. which is at-the rate of 100 per cent per year, and when the 30 days were out the man failed to pay, but the next day he did pay and was charged an additional ~ 23 cents as interest for one day. t We could, if necessary cite many instances of down right robbery I of this character, and too, by a class who profess honesty and ~ occupy positions that ought to I hold them above suspicion of ~ wrong towards their fellowman. E If the law against usury was strictly enforced, there would be ~ such a shaking up that many amen corners would be lacking ~ for occupants, and if the law C against swindling was impartial. ~ ly enforced, the chaingang ' would soon have an educated set i of laborers. There are many ~ men, enjoying freedom, under s the cloak of "business" who ~ have, and are every day vio- a lating the statute laws of the C State, and who are daily receiv- C ing credit for being shrewd bus- ' iness men, that would be on the ~ chaingang as thieves, were it E not for their money. A "nigger" ~ steals a chicken, value a quarter, ~ he goes to the gang; a "business ~ man" steals, a hundred pounds in I weight, value ten dollars. he is ~ an enterprising citizen, and is C not molested. The "business ~ man" can treat with contempt the usury laws and unlawfully take from those in his power ~ what he pleases, and be respect- ' ed, but the "poor white man" and the "nigger" must obey the law to the letter or be made an object of contempt and a crimi- t. nal. t C It is for such' discriminating enforcment of law, that we at- ~ tribute the prevalence of so e much crime, and disrespect for E law. It is the unequal execution that is largely responsible for the shedding of so much blood in s1 the State. If those in authority ~ would protect the weak and the strong impartially,these usurious robbers all over the country could not ply their unlawful avo- E cations--eight per cent interest for loans would be all ther would get. The only way to to stop the kind of robbery corn- ~ plained of, is for our law-makers F to enact a statute cancelling a S debt, note or mortgage upon 1 proof that more than the legal r rate of interest is charged. This i in our opinion will put a stop to t squeezing, from helpless people. GOOD ROADS.i Senator Latimer's plan to build up the highways by gov emnent aid is a good one, and if a he can succeed in getting a meas ure through which will put his ideas into practical operation the .j good road problem is solved. The plan, is for the federal gov- C emnent to bear one half the ex pense of road building, the State legislature one-fourth, and I the county or township to' bear the other fourth. The general - government makes appropria- ,, tions for the improving of rivers and harbors, and while these E water-ways are beneficial and should have the fostering care^ of the government, our country roads are great highways of in ternal commerce, and should be ~ entitled to consideration from the government, as well as thc r -aterways, inany of which is a xpenditure of money that doc ery little general good. Sen or Latimer is on the right trael is plan seeks to do good for tb lasses, their is no politic rafting in the scheme, and -%V tope he will keep on as persisten v. as Senator Morgan was wit he canal project. It has bee emonstrated by statistics, th t costs -300,000,000 more t ransport the farmproducts OVE he dirt roads than it does ove ailroads, and the average cos ver dirt roads per ton is f ents per mile, while the cos ver proper built roads is froi to 8 cents per mile. Ther( >re a system of good road ould be a great saving to th roducers; this would encourag reater effort in production, zh rofits would be larger, and th alue of farming lands would b nhanced. The Democratic party in it ext National platform can d o better. or wiser thing tha y inserting a good roads plan n the Latimer plan, in th latform. Let the conventio mar out the disastrous silre inaticism, and go to the cour ey with opposition to trust. ficial corruption, and Lat: ier's good roads scheme. I at does not prove a winnei en the majority are not read ) place in official control th eople's servants. We knoi f no greater good the goverr ent can do for the people's ger ral welfare than to take hold c ae public highways with th id of the State and count3 ,uch a scheme would make th 'hilippine question, ship sul idies, and the Panama can, ink into insignificance, becaas very State, county and towi hip would be deeply intereste< nd every citizen would feel th esult of the taxation he pay t is time, high time, that ot tatesmen are doing somethin resides building political hobbit or the politicians sole benefi nd in our opinion Senator Lat er is of the same opinion.

His Dainty Hands, Tropical Counte nance and Good Digestion. roe's arms and hands were slender and tapered very gracefully and gently down to the ends of his fingers, which were very tender, ge:ntlemanly and ladylike. In fact, his hands were truly remarlkable for their ros. ate softness and lily white, feminine delicacy. You could have judged of his nobility by his hands. His face was rather oval, tapering in its contour rather suddenly to the chin, which was very classical, and, espe cially when he smiled,- really hand some. His countenance was tropical in its aspect, precisely the reverse of his heart, which, like the fountains of Sol omon, had long been kept sealed up as something sacred from the vulgar gaze tof the world, his face whenever he wrote long at any one time putting on a sickly, sallow and rather pallid hue, Sbut never to such an extent as to indi - cate indisposition. His digestion was > always good, which is prima facie evi - dence that he was never a student His dress was always remarkably neat for one in his circumstances. But1 I do not believe that it would have done for him to have had money. He was ruined in his youth. His college life in Virginia was the cause of all his after inebriation.
