The sole ambition that has ever stirred

welfare of opr common country. ' v
During the time 1 have had tbe honor

When 1, in opposition to the feelings and
apprehenslona of many of my fellow

with the negroes, but to accord to them
all the rights which would necessarily
follow their enfranchisement. From
that day to the present I have steadily
and constantly advocated the same pol

cause it wo» right. A ny influence which
J may be able to exercise in the future
shall be exertejjl in iheusame direction,

The United Htatcs Senate passed last
week a bill which provides for a free
and unlimited coinage of gold and sil
ver bullion purchased at, m*fket prices,
acd making both gold and silver coin
or certificates issued Tor bullion legal
tender for the payment of all debt*
The House of Representatives will no
doubt pa«s the bill, but as President
Harrison is known to be opposed to titc
policy of the proposed financial change
he will probably veto it and so put an
effectual end to a sure and speedy relief
from the iusnffioiency of currency to
carry o« tbe business of the country.
Last week’s chief sensation was the
news of a shortage in the official ac
counts of Ex-Adjutant General Bon
ham. During bis absence from Colum
bia checks that be had sent to several
companies in payment of their quotas of
tbe Legislative appropriation for the
support of the State Troops were pre
sented for payment and protested for
lack of funds to his ervdlt. These facts
were made known to Adjutant General
Farley, who brought them to the atten
tion of Gen. Bonham and Gov. Tillman
Gen. Borikam said that if he had been
in Columbia when the checks were pr?-
aented he would have had them honored
and it w-as arranged that they should
be recalled for payment The whole
amount due, ascertained by an expert
to be $5,528, including tbe protested
checks and other company allotments
for which no chocks had been issued,
will be paid promptly, and the 8tate
wUt not lose a cent.
Gen. Bonham was perhaps tbe most
popular man of his age in the Htate and
the news ef this trouble gave as great
surprise to the public as it did sorrow
to his friends. *
Died at Elko, 8. t\, on JWh Docember, 1890,
Dr. Kaiuuol 8. Owens, at the age of fl‘ty-two
} e itw. from an attac k of paralysis and conges
tion of the brain.
, Dr Owens was In all the relations of his life
the model of a true gentleman. As a farmer
successful, as a citizen faithtul, as a friend true,
as a companion and father, kind and lovable;
and as a Christian, earnest and useful to the
church both in benevolence and piety. Jle
wes a good soldier in war, and in peace he was
full of zeal and interested in even thing calcu
lated to build up the cause of right and pro
gress. His Inst work being as a member of ihe
Legislature to formulate laws by whirtf all
classes of men might enjoy equal advantages
m business life. Therefore In his death we
(ran but realize that our County and State hare
lost one of tkeir most popular and useful citi
zens and the church of Long Branch one of Its
most useful members and his family a devoted
husband and father. Dr. Owens leave* a wife,
flve children and a brother, Dr. Hnrrinon
Owens, two sisters and a large number of re
latives to “mourn hi* death. Yet, not without
the consolation that our loss is bis gain, and
as Christians we bow to this dispensation of
Providence, and in sorrow say, It is well, for
all things work together lor good to them that
love God. i . „ g. J. *.

A Recipe That Is Regarded Sire Care

**Mr. M. M. (’pieman, of Lncv. In this

field for Governor next year. _ - ►
IF* fib not believe that ha woihd enter
aautt a dafiteat and UutiM that tire doa-
iag remarkx of hit tpeech in the Mate
^gatoefc tbe KvfCv Bill on Friday settle
county, visited this office yesterday and
stated ill at lie had a specific remedy or
cure foy blind staggers in horses.
A boat tw elve mules and horses have
died at Woodsteak, near here, In the
last few days, and the farmers are at a
lots what remedies to use in ao short a
time. When the animal U dead *t^e
brains turn black from mortification.
Mr. Coleman believes the disease to he
atmospheric, and not from eating stale
and rotten corn, aa many suppose. Dr.
Henderson, of this county, lost two
mules, and be had fed no corn to them.
Mr. Coleman’s remedy is aa follows:
Keeipe—Saturate a towel with chloro
form and apply it to the noatrila until
the animal is thoroughly under the in
fluence; then bleed freely in the neck,
pour on top of the head eight or ten
buckets of cold water, and give immedi-
ateD a half p»urul of Epaotit salt* Af
ter pouring the cold water wrap an old
quilt around the head to produce
action
put down more by poor quality than by
the great crop made last year.*'
The position of our friend Is fortifled
by the logic of facts too strong and
stubborn to be disproved by mere asser
tion. It is true that tbe Houih made her
largest crop of the great staple last
year, but it ia equally true that the
world needs more cotton year after year
as its uses extend and its consumption
spreads. It is a fair presumption that
theavsrage demand increases as rapidly
as the average yield grows larger.
Now as to stained cottons. Bad
weather and the allurements of railroad
excursions put the farmers In the grass
—so to speak—with their gathering,
and they could not catch up until in
calculable harm was done, in this con
nection we quote from the Atlanta Con
stitution's Augusta oorresixmdence the
method adopted by Mr. J. J, Williams,
of Ellenton, to bleach stained cottons to
original whiteness. To us, although we
confess to a lack of practical knowl
edge, It seems to be soundly philosophi-
eal. It it too late to be of much benefit
for this season, but if remembered It
may be made profitable to the farmers in
the future. Here is the Williams plan :
“He take* bis seed cotton and packs
it in layers. Over each layer he sprink
les water with a pine top, and after he
has done this he leave* it for almost
three days. The stained and blue cot
ton w hen taken out is clean and white
w'ith the staple just as good as ever.
Tbe cotton w hen packed in the manner
above described generates beat. This
beat removes the stains and the farmer
is saved tbe difference in price between
Oie' stalned aWa*tbr White be
sides gaining one pound in eight in
ginning. The heat generated in the
packing kills tbe germ in tbe cotton
seed, but when the ginning^is done the
seed* easily Ht go all tbe cotton. Though
the seed* are dead tbe oil in them is not
injured, and they are still saleable to
tbe oil mills.”
But while the question whether the
South made too much cotton or uot last
year is fairly debatable nobody can shut
his eye* to the fact that she has made
too little corn and other provision crops.
Scarcely a day passes that we don’t see
wagons going to the country loaded
with high priced hay, corn, meal and
bacon, and what i* the case in and
around Barnwell is no doubt true of all
the towns in this section of the State.
The buyers of such P*! G*® trib
ute of profits to the far off farmers who
raise these provisions, to the railroads
that haul them and to the merchants
that sell them on time. It is no wonder
that people saddled by so many riders
break down and become mere hewers of
wood and drawers of water for others
w ho think more and look further ahead.
We have known some to get out of
debt by grow ing their own home sup
plies and making cotton a surplus crop.
We have known many to, keep Inde
pendent and happy by following the
same path, but we have never known
one who put all his eggs in the cotton
basket who did not come to ruinous

or In a market where a fair competition
exists among merchants), we therefore
protest against this action of said Com
panies as uajnst, and agree to be gov
erned hr the following resplations:
