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

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.

audience had risen she added :
"Now all who will work for Jesus

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

friend who said :
"W\ell, Colonel, you dined withl
the governor yesterday ; who was
there ?"
"Well, sir," replied the colonl,
throwing back his head, digging his
hands deep in his troisers pockets
and spreading wide his legs, "there
was me, sir, and besides myself
there wore four other high-toned,
elegant gentlemon from Kentucky,
a. gentlemn from Virginia, two men
from Ohio, a fellow from New York
and a so i-of-a-gun from Boston,
