WINNSBOEO, S. 0. Saturday, March 30, : : 1878, s. MEANS DAVIS, DrTR. JNO. S. ZEYNOLDS, AssooIAT8 EDITOR. SEORETART SCHVUz has lhad a severe attack of heart affection ; but his physician thinks there is no immediate danger. He is only forty-nine years of ago. SHERIFF BowEN, of Charleston, announces his support of Governor Hampton and his State ticket, and predicts a majority for them, if re nominated, of eighty thousand. GOVERNOR HAMPToN's recent visit to Anderson was a perfect ovation, reminding one very forcibly of the scenes of 1876. At every station on the Greenville road he was met by immense crowds, who welcomed him with every demonstration of enthusiasm. A large number of colored people also turned out to greet him. The people of Andor son informally presented him with the finest horse in the county. Governor Hampton renewed his former pledges to govern for the benefit of the entire State. Regeneration of the Low Country. Active efforts are making to ro. vive the material interests of the lower portion of South Carolina, once-one of the wealthiest sections in the United States. The object is to build up Charleston along with the country. Alderman White has introduced an ordinance into the city council providing that all new buildings erected, within a specified time, in the city shall be exempt from all city taxes for a term of years. The effect of this ordinance, if adopted, will be to stimulate the filling up of vacant lots in the burnt district with fine buildings. An other step in the right direction is the establishment of a factory for the manufacture of cotton bagging of jute. The old John-street depot of the South Carolina Railroad has been fitted up substantially for the purpose, with the most improved machinery. A supply of jute is already en route for the city, and the manufacture will begin in a few days. This factory wvill give wvork to ~parties now unemployed. More than that, it is expected to stimulate jute ~culture on lands now lying idle on the coast. A number of planters are experimenting in this culture, 'and the result it is thought will be satisfactory. Besides jute culture a committee appointed to consider the utilization of coast lands has made a very favorable report on the adaptability of the soil and climate of thazt ieotion for the raising of hay and small grain. While sea island cotton and rice will ziot now, in many instances, .pay -evxpenses,-experiments show that large returns may be made from grass crops and cereals. A movement is on .foo,t to r'evolu tionize farming in that section. The News and Courier says that forty bushels of wheat, nity-.seven of oats and four tons of good hay to the acre can be raised on the farms near Charleston; while two hundred acres of strawberries realize an sanount equal -to one-fifth of all the0 sales frotn sea island cottou on all the coast islands last year. It is gratifying to note these symptoms of life in a region tha thas long been paralybed b~y untoward ircumstances. Still more grati, fying is the prospeot that the ff.orts will be crowned with Puccess. Every one interested in the future of the State will hid the work God speed. T11E TOWN ELECTION. Xeas Editor.: The unfortunate divistionin sentiment an~ feeling, held in the eoiurt-house' . hurs, 4ay ighat, indnces rue this morn.. og to may a word which I hopeo will rne4ey any evil that may hare been do. ~r moay be eenequent upon ohptoceeding. when it was statod "that this meeting was for a nomination by the taxpay era upon real estate." This property qualification, while allowable, and in fact, roquired, in this particular meeting, gave it an unpopular feature-unpopular, how~ ever, becauso not thoughtfully un - derstood by some of the white's and by many of the colored citizens. Any dozen men with white hats on may call a Ineing for a spocial purpose, and excludo persons who choose to present themselves with black hats on. So it was with this meeting. It had its special require mont, which excluded others than property-holders, and it was this that gave rise to the fooling of dissatisfaction which was so appar ent. Now, as a compromise, I propose in this Municipal Election, that all candidates,, whether by nomination or otherwise, withdraw. Let this thing be turned over to the people of the town, who should and who can elect beyond a doubt the proper mon-and that without dictation or suggestioa. JUSTICE. A SCENE IN THE SENATE.-Tlhe Scnator--"Misser Pros'den'." The Vice-President--The Sena tor from " "I am requested-ter 'nounce (hie) that my colleague, Mr. - , is >aired wiz ze gen'lemnan from Maine, Mizzer Hamlin. If my colleague (hic) were prezzent 'o would vute 'no,' an' Mizzer Blaine would vote 'no.' " Cries of "no," "no," "yes," "yes," "you're wrong ;" "Blaine would vote aye," at which the distinguished Senator became confused, and re garded the Senators around him with profound contempt, and re.. marked: "Eh ! min' yor own bizzness." But he commenced agiia: "Mizzer Preziden', I wuz 'bout ter remark when interrupted zat my colleague, if prezzent, would vote 'aye'--" [Cries of "No !" "no !" from all over the Democratic side.] "I wuz about to say that my colb league would vote 'No,' an' the gen'lemau from Maine would vote 'No.' " Cries of "You're wrong again to which the distinguished gentle man responded : "'Nounce it yourself, then." A PAPER CARPET.-A description is given of a paper carpet now made in England, and designed to imitate parquet flooring, the paper being pliled n patterns to imitate differ.. ent woods from photographs, so that, as it is stated, the resemwblance is absaolutdiy perfect. The floor is first prepared by being made per' fetly level, and the crevices filled up with plaster of Par'is ; over the Burface as thns l)repaled, hession is stretched, and on this, first, lining paper and then the patterned paper is pasted, the wholo being finished wvith a coating of a peculiar kind of varn ishi described as wonderfully hard and wear-resisting. This kindc of caryocting can be0 kept perfectly clean withm the greatest case, andl though the wear of paper carpeting may be thought problematical, the imventor states that lie has had rooms cover'ed with it for some six teen months, without showing any app)reciable signs of wear. Its ap pearanco, also, is very satisfactory to the eye. A writer in the Now Orleans .Democrat has examined the tax rate in the various States, and finds that Louisiana stands al. the head of the list. The State tax there is 144 mills. The other States come in the fol-. lowing order :South Carolina, 10 mills ; Arkansas, 10 mills, (it is pr~o 'posed to reduce it to 5 mills ;) Ten - nessee, 10 mills ; Alabamn, 54 mills; California, 7 3-20 mills ; Florida, 7 mills; Kansas, 54 mills ; Texas, 5 mills ; Georgia, 5 mills ; Maine, 3[ mills ; Ohio., 8 1-5 mille ; New Jer . soy, 2 mills :Michigan, 24 mills ; NwHampslur'e, 2 mills ; Maryland, 1 710 ill ;Connectient, 1* mills, and Massachusetts, 1 mill. T1here is no State tax at all in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Van Cott is lecturing in Buffalo, and this is the way ahe ialks -:"Nowv all who are Christians stand up," and after most of the audience had risen she added : "Now all who will work for Jesus hold up your hands." Then abe said, "Now all who wvant to be saved hold up your hands," and a number having comp)lied with this request she added, "Now let all those who want to be saved and 'intend to servo God faithfully from this time, come right up here to the altar and let us pra*y for, them."
