The News and Courier declared its ul tlmatum last week that in the campaign •f 02 It must be “Cleveland or Defeat.” The prophecies of our c. c. should be in terpreted as dreams are, by contraries. When so done they always materialize. “When accepted literally they uever come to pass. For full confirmation of this theory refer to Its Ales. The Coosa w cate w as argued on a pre liminary motion last Thursday, Friday and Saturday before Chief Justice Ful ler and District Judge Simonten in Charleston. The decision will be filed later.' It will probably be a year or so before the case is decided on its merits, unless the Chief Justice can stick in some obiter dictum that may hasteu the end of the contention. Ex-Senator John H. Reagan, abcord- ing to the New York Sun, has expressed the opinion that if Mr. Cleveland is nominated in *92 he will get, west of the Mississippi, the electoral votes of Texas and Arkansas and no more. And yet there are a good many South Caro lina editors, weekly and otherwise, who believe that the country is crying for bis candidacy. Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, is young, but he has sound and straight political eye sight, lie predicts that the Republican party will enact the Force Bill, if it ever gets the power to do so through the possession of the Presidency and both branches of Con- ^^Eress. Every Democrat should pin that fact ip his b«t.

The Third Party Problem. The Progressive Farmer, of Raleigh, N. C., owned and edited by President Polk,of the National AlUapcc;said last week “The question, what will the A1 do with the new party ? is on the lips of tens of thousands anxious people today. )Fell, It ought not to take much wisdom to answer that question. The new party has adopted the Alliance demands into its platform. Does any one suppose in telligent Alllanoemen will vote against a party that adopts those demands, and In favor of a party that not only falls to adopt, but resists those demands? The Western Alliance States have al- ready Yone into the new party. Will not the necessity for Alliance unity foroa ibe other Alliance 3tale# to go Into the new party also? We see no way to prevent the new partv from sweeping the country, except the sim ple one of cheerfully conceding to the people every ene of their just demands. If the Alliance Is to be blamed for giv ing In to the third party, the hungry ehtld can be blamed for going to some one who can and will furnish it food.’ 23 years old. Hi Is proud.

From an exchange we take the fol lowing chapter in the history of one of the two ladies appointed by the Gover nor on the CoaimIsaion on the proposed Slate Industrial School for Woman : The secretary of the commission, Miss Mary L. Yeargin, is a young lady of remarkable fores of character. She is he is a country girl, and of this she ier father, like many others, found himself, some years ago on the evs of being closed out by the sheriff. Miss Yeargin waa then attending school at Columbia Female College, from which instltutloii she was afterwards a grad uate. Becoming aware of her fatner’s embarrassments she left school and suc ceeded in Inducing her father’s credi tor* to extend the time for payment of a mortgagH about to be foreclosed on his farm. Then she began her work. All un necessary labor waa dismissed. Ex pense* were carefully watched. Find- lug that she could effect a considerable saving, she dismissed the enginaer who ran the cotton engine and took charge of It herself. 8he cut her own wood and did her own “firing.” For two years she worked incessantly, and then the mortgage was paid. She again re-en tered college, apd after graduation w as elected to a place on the faculty. She successfully met all the require* meats of the Institution, ami the trus tees reluctantly received her resigna tion, which she tendered to accept the position she now holds in the Leesville classical Institute.. ^ Profit in Farming^ Many people have found farming un profitable. The following account of two women’s work, taken from the Au gusta Evening News, tells quite a dif ferent story: Mrs. Daniel and her daughter, In the southern part of Baldwin county, have loomed up agricultural heroines of high type. The story of their prosperity, as told by a couple of gentlemen of un doubted veracity, is to the effect that they were living together three years ago in an almost destitute condition. A gentleman, inspired with the spirit of the good Samaritan, offered them aid In the rental of several acres of land on fairly easy terms—that they would pay the rent at the end of the year—trust ing to their honesty in the fulfillment of the contract, they having nothing to ut up as collateral. The old lady and erdaughter made a covenant with each other to the effect that one would man- e the domestic and business affairs, while the other would raise the crop. Miss Daniel, to whom the task of man- aging the farm fell, took an axe aud wqnt into the woods and made a plow stock from a sassafras tree, broke a bull that was thrown in with the land, plant ed and raised the best ten acres of cot ton and corn that was raised in Bald win countv. They paid their rent promptly the first year and set their stakes high on the next. Last year they paid for the land xnd raised cotton and corn enough to make them more than happy. They have already begun work for the present year, and if for tune doesn’t change it will not be long before Mrs. Daniel and daughter wil) be rich. Henry Brabham, the negro from Bam berg, who is to be hanged in Charlotte, N. 0., the 2d Jnly Tor the murder of Mocca, an Italian, attempted to break jail on the 3d inst. with a piece of iron which he procured from his cell door. fellow negro prisoner raised the alarm. The sheriff was away but his »lucky wife opened a window overlook- ng the jail corridor and covered Brab ham with her pistol, threatening to •hoot him if he did not immediately de sist. Brabham jumped behind the cor ridor, out of range of the pistol and at tacked and nqarly beat to death the ne- { jro who raised the alarm. The Sheriff oeked Brabham in a secure cell where he will be kept until hanged.

There is a pension for every person w ho served in titiously and without the knowledge of the late war 6n tiie side of the govern- the people, and by this trick silver was in a large measure demonetized. Q: YY hat do you mean by demone tized? A : Deprived of its money value. Q : But did not silver continue to be lawful money and a legal tender for debts after 1873 as well as before? A: Yes; but this fact was of little value after the coinage of the metal ceased. The Government is the only power that coins money, and when it stopped coining silver dollars there were none to be had. A debtor still had a right to pay his debts in silver, if he could get the silver, but If the Govern ment refused to supply him with it, this was a practical dencionetization of silver, and he was forced tb pay in gold, or its equivalent. * The Executive Committee Speaks.
