South Carolina does not stand alone in nets of lawlessness. She has her share, and we are very sorry for it. Tier pulpit and the press are raiding their voices against it, but still the hydra-headed monster raises its ungainly head in unexpected phu i s. Ashley Junction has become famous through the many robberies committed in its vicinity. And yet this stronghold of evil purposes and wicked deeds Is on Charleston neck, near the metropolis of the PRESS OPINION. Senator Tillman seems not to have many poople in this State who will follow him iu the proposed ludt from Maud Matters. (< V; i • *]*<in<l» nct of The Ijcd^cr.) Ma.-i,, S.

Single copies of the paper are five ce*ts each. TM t'RSI)AY, APRIL 1<». 18%. THE EXPOSITION. As we go to press representative men from all over the State are in session at Spartanburg. The object of the meeting is a worthy otc*. The State has done very little towards making known her vast resources. If anything is done in this direction, it must bo by her public spirited cit izens, who know, and would have others know #f the rice fields ready for enterprising capitol to develop. To do this, will require well directed elTort under skillful manipulation. More than tills will be needed. Pocket-books will have to be opened, and a spirit, akin to enthusiasm should take hold of our people, to lift the State loan enviable prominence. It is not surprising that Spartanburg should have been selected for the meeting. She has taken the lead in manufacturing our great staple, and probably has minerals in greater variety and larger quantity than any other county in the State. And even she is slumbering over this partially hidden treasure. Commissioner E. L. Roche, of Charleston, has been unremitting in his labors. The success of the meet ing is largely due to his energy. He* it is who brought the ends together est men, and made Ashley Junction a by-word and a reproach. Let the good work of cleansing go merrily on. There is room in the penitentiaries for violators of the law. ’Tis true that lawlessness begets lawlessness. It bears fruit a hun dred fold, and waits not for the “Early and the latter rain” to gather into barns. Obediancc to law is obedience to Cod. and wove them whole. into a harmonious THE BICYCLE. Two years ago and the bicycle on our streets and highways was so un common as to attract attention. Severe were the criticisms upon its use, and fora young lady to spin the wheel would have been almost an unpardonable sin. How great the change! Wheels are everywhere. The man of business, the surburban resident, the school boy, the letter carrier, misses in their teens, misses out of their teens, each on business or on pleasure bent finds here an easy, rapid and health-giving exer cise. The wheel has come to stay. All the preaching against it will not loosen its hold in the affections of the people. Very pleasant is it to the looker on as well as to the rider as, gracefully, he glides along with out apparent effort, and space is van quished. Is Japan going to compete with our American manufacturers and bring the (trice down ton lev» I wli rt all can vide? It looks like it, when 1000 are on the way to one Charles ton firm who proposes to sell them at fabulously low prices. THE CODE IN GERMANY. Even Emperor William’s decree against duelling will not avail in Germany. The custom is too deeply rooted in the public mind to be easily set aside. Germany must pass through deep waters, as we have, be fore the challenge ceases to be given and received. Huron Yon Schrader is dead, be cause he had not moral courage to decline Yon Kutz’ challenge to meet him on the field of honor? The Em peror requested that ho would not accept, but the stigma of refusal was more than he could face, and his life is the forfeit, while his slayer is lionized. ‘‘To the victor belongs the spoils.” How long before man. and woman too, will recognize that life is a sa cred gift to be diligently improved— too sacred for either pistol shot or rapier thrust to destroy WICKED EXTRAVAGANCE. Kings must be crowned. Rut why’ with such regal pomp and lav ish display as marks the coronation of the Emperor of all the Russians? He is already well established on his throne and the expenditure of mill ions of dollars on what should be a simple and sacred rite only’ un settles the public mind and renders less secure his crowned head. It is not to be wondered at that the upper and the lower stratums of society one drifting apart, and such useless expenditure of the “sweat” of the Russion serf is not calculated to curb the nihilist. The people have’ a right to complain when their hard earnings are thus frittered away as frothy nothings, to gratify a foolish pride. “ITieasy lies the head that wears a crown,” may well he said of the Czar of Rus sia.

PORT ROYAL’S DRY DOCK The Indiana has come and one, Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken inter nally and acts directly on the blood and mucous services of the* system. Everyday, almost, brings some new evidence of soul .hern progress. Not only are there cotton mills build ing and others projected. On other lines also there is constant, well directed, intelligent effort.—Colum bia State. * * * The grand jury of Chester county is made up of the best reformers. Last week it made a black list of twenty-six habitual drunkards and instructed the dispensers in that county not to sell liquor to them.— Cotton 1‘lant. ♦ * •’Jr There has been for the past year a lot of the dirtiest political work done around Raleigh that was ever done north of Hades, and it still goes bravely on only increasing in dirtiness as it progresses. — Rulhen- fordton Democrat. * * • * Mr. E. D. Littlejohn took a Hy ing trip to Lancaster last week on business. He will leave for Col umbia, to attend the State Repub lican Convention to be held in that city on the 7th inst. Mr. Littlejohn is a hustler in political circles.—\Y. D. Archer in Piedmont Indicator of the 11th. The Methodist Sunday school of Gaffney’ celebrated Easter with ap propriate services Sunday’ night. The church was crowded and many were turned away for want of room, the singing by the children was ad mirable and all the exercise were most attractive. They have a lively school there and it will not be many mouths before ihe congregation will demand a larger house.—Carolina Spartan. '* * * Senator Irby did as much as any man in this State to force that “weak man who has not talent enough to defend his own cause and therefore resort to double-dealing and hypoeracy” on the people of this State against their will fur gov ernor. It would be poetic justice and entirely in accord with the eter nal fitness of things if this small, weak man should in turn down the political accident, Irby.—Spartan burg Herald. * * ★ There is honor among thieves, and this virtue of these gentry may lie commended to some of the Repub lican politicals of North Carolina We all know to what lengths they will go lo heat Democrats, and it has been seen that they will go equally far to beat each other. Those of them who have, in Roberson country’, saddled upon Dockery the letter which Russell wrote, calling the negroes savages, have, however, sounded a new depth —made a new record.—Charlotte <Ihsorver. “A thoroughly loyal Democrat.” the Jacksoville Citizen explains .or the benefit of an inquiring contem porary, “is one who accepts the for mal expression of the majority of his fellow Democrats, whether with reference to party doctrine or to party nominations, as the supreme law. This law he feels hound to obey because he has pleged himself to do so upon his honor as a man and Ids reputation as a Democrat.” The definition possesses considerable interest, for certain statesmen in South Carolina also, and shnupl j afford them material fur some whole some reflection just at this time.— Charleston News and Courier.

In speaking of how he cured it. he says: “I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bot tle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in n short time brought about a '•omplcltf cure.” When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get re lief.
