value of printer's ink. That county
sends also a strong delegation to
the State Convention, the delegates
being Speaker Sheppard, Senator
Gary, U. S. Senator Butler, Con

Solicitor Abney and "King" Calli
son. The Edgefield people are
wide awake.
California Communists.
California is a strange place. It
was settled with the odds and ends
of creation. And although many
of her citizens are the peers of any
one, she has a floating population of
the worst character. San FraT.cis
co is the loafing place and rallying
centre of all the tramps of the
the Pacific coast, containing about
ten thousand of these out of a voting
population of twenty-seven thous
and. Heretofore this vote has
fluctuated between the two great
parties. But not long since a man
named Kearney inaugurated the
Communistic movement, and rallied
around his banner all the tramps
bummers hoodlums" of the city to
gether with a number of disaffected
workingmen. The result was shown
last week. An election was held for
delegates to Constitutional Conven
tion, Such a body should be con,
posed of the ablost and purest citi
zens of a State. Kearney nominat
ed his candidates in every county.
The best citizens of both parties
combined against the Co munists,
anId brought ouIt a non,'par'tisan
ticket. Bour'bon Democrats and
RIadical Rspublicans also each nomi..
nated a ticket. In San Francisco
the Communists polled twelve
thousands votes, the. non -partisans
eight thousand, and the two straight
tickets, only seven thousand between
them. The Communists thus so
cured about one-fourth the regular
delegates to the convention, besides
possibly securing the thirty-two
delegates at large. The result is
not known, but the Communists
claim the convention This is a ter -
rible crew to have the fixing up of
A constitution for a State. This
war-cry is death or expulsion of
Chinamen, destruction of monopo
lies (a good thing) division of
wealth, and increased wages, regard
less of skili, all comprehended under
the sententious motto "the rights of
man."
The progress of this 'movement
will be closely watched. California
will be fortunate if she escapes
without a serious injury. One les
son of importance here taught is the
necessity of unity. Had all the
good elements combined instead of
nominating three different tickets,
Kearney and his hoodlums would
have been summarily squelched.
Danger ever attenlds divisions,
The Phosphates.
One of the principal duties of
the next Legislature will be a
renewal of the action of its pre..
decessor in regard to the phosphate
interest. This interest ought to
be of great importance to the State.
If properly managed it is alleged
that the revenue derived from
phosphates will be sufficient to pay
off the debt of the State. In past
years gross mism.anagemont and
fraud have robbed the State of a
great portion of -the revenue. At
thme last session. two mannre wr,.o
proposed. Oue was to divide out
all the phosphate-bearing streams
among several mining companies,,
giving to each the exclusive right
to a certain territory. The other
scheme was to leave the business
open to competition, so that any
individual might dig the rock on
payment of the royalty. The form
or measure passed, whether by the
aid of a powerful lobby, as was
charged, or not, we do not know.
It is alleged that since the ad
journmont of the Legislature
tho territory granted to certain of
the companies is worthless; and
that in reality all the privileges of
mining are centered in two or three
companies under the same control,!
thus making an immense monopoly.
If this allegation is true the Stato.
may well be alarmed. For as the
coal companies of Pennsylvania
combine to regulate production
and forco coal to an exorbitant!
figure, so the phosphate monopoly
can produce just so much rock as
is necessary not to violate the
charters of the respective compa
nies, and thus maintain the price
at the highest figure ; whereas, by
allowing free compotition the price
of the phosphates will be regulated
by the lawv of supply and demand.
The State desires not only to
utilize this dead capital but to
utilize it as rapidly as possible. A
monopoly prevents this. It is
argued that a large outlay of
capital is requisite to carry on the
business, and that the State must
protect this capital by granting it
exclusive rights. On the other
hand there are instances where
private individuals with only a flat
and a pair of oyster tongs have
achieved an independence by
gathering the rock from the river
beds and selling it to the factories.
It is absurd to say that every small
miner would establish his own
works. He would find it more
profitable to dry the rock and sell
it at the mills.
Besides, and above all this, is
the abstract principle that monopo
lies are a burden and a curse to
every country that suffers them to
exist. The railroad monopoly, the
telegraph monopoly, the coal
monopoly, have wrought incalcula
ble ruin upon the people at large,
and their effects should have
opened the eye of the public long
ago. This phosphate monopoly
appears to be another link in the
lengthening chain that binds the
masses hand and foot. Some steps
should be taken to see that the
State suffers no detriment Mass
meetings have already been held in
Charleston and Beaufort, and a
lively fight is promised in the
Legislature next fall. This phos
phate business has been a job from
the first. We do not charge any
bad faith on the part of the last
Legislat ure. Tbhey, doubtless, were
at sea, and voted in accordance
with the most plausible arguments.
The eyes of all should, however',
now be opened. A good Legisla.
ture will put down a monopoly
wherever it app)ears.
AN INTERVIEw WITH REDMloND.
Judge Field has just returned from
the mountains. He reports every
thing quiet and serene in that
section, and gave us the synopi
of a six hours' interview with Major
Lewis WV. Redmond. which, for
want of space, cannot be published
in this issue. Redmond is willing
for his whole life to be published to
the world, and aya there is nothing
in it whiich lie is ashamed of, unless:
it be his last raid on Gary, which
now his better judgment condemns,
but at the time his judgment was
overridden by recent and bitter
pelrecution at the handa of Gary.-..

THE GR4 TEFt7L POODLE.
One day a benevolent physician,
having found a stray poodle suor
ing from a broken leg, conveyed
the poor creature to his home, and
after setting and bandaging the
injured limb gave the little outcast
its liberty again, and thought no
more about the matter. But how
great was his surprise, 111)on open
ing his door one morning, some days
later, to find. the grateful poodle
patiently waiting there, and in i;s
company another stray dog, one of
whose legs, by some accident, had
been broken.
The next morning the benevolent
physician found the two dogs,
beaming with gratitude, waiting at
his door, and with them two other
dogs-cripples. The cripples were
speedily healed, and the four went
their way, leaving the benevo'ent
physician more overcomo by pious
wonder than ever. The clay passed,
the morning came. There at the
door sat now the four reconstructed
dogs, and with them four others
requiring reconstruction. This clay
also passed, and another noining
came ;and now sixteen dogs, eight
of them newly crippled, occupied
the sidewalk, arl the people were
going around. By noon the brok:,n
legs wcre all set, but the pious
wonder in the good physician's
breast was beginning to get mixed
with involuntary profanity.' The
sun rose once more, and exhibited
thirty two dogs, sixteen of them
with broken legs occupying the
sidewalk and half of the street ; the
human spectators took up the rest
of the room. The cries of the
wounded, the songs of the he alo
brutes nd the comments of the
on -looking citizens made great an..t
inspiring cheer, but traffic was in
terrupted in that street. The
good physician hired a couple of
assistant surgeons and got through
his benevolent work before dark,
first taking The precaution to cancel
his church membership, so that he
might express himself the latitude
which the case required.
But some things have their limit.
When once more the nor-ning
dawned and the good physi ian
looked out upon a m.issed an f.r
reaching multitude of cl:unorous
and beseeching dogs, lie said "I
might. as well acknowledge it, I
have been fooled by the b:,oks ; they
only tell the pretty part of the story
and then stop. Fetch ine the shot.
gun ; this thing has gone along
f r enough."
He isstaed forth with his weapon,
and chanced to- step upon the tail
of the original peodle, -Who-prompt
ly bit him on' the leg. Now the
great and good work which this
poodle had been engaged in bad
engendered in him such a mlighty
and augmenting entlinsiasn as to
turn his weak head at last and
drive him macf A month later,
wvhen the benevolent ph ynician lay
in the death throes of hydrop hobia,
he called his weeping friends about
him and said:
"Beware of the books. They tell
but half of the story. 'Whenever a
poor wretch asks.you for help and
you feel'a ddubt.as to what result
many flow fr-om -your benevolence,
give yourself the benefit of the
doubt and kill the applicant."
Arnd so saying, lie turned his face
to the wall anid gave up the ghost.

T0TAL EIINCE SMOIl W!E THAE IT
There is a curious story about sonme native
wines wvhich are extensively advertised nowa
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. Dr. U ndcrhill,* the well-known
. ape-growe.r of Creot Point, died in 187r.
'ome of his hcirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of wincs then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have .sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. It is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for a settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines eon
hand. Anmon g these Is a wine of the vintage
of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,*
but suggesting the Tm perial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of Amercans
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fanciers have a special interest in it as the
oldest native wvine now accessible in any eon
Isiderable qumantity. Trhe whole stock is in the
hiiands of the well-known wholesale grocery'
house of the Thurbers.-NT. Y. Triduns,
Nov. zy,1&/~7.
The above speaks for itself, but we would
add that this Is the pure juice of the grape,
neithe r drugged, liquored nor watered ; that It
has been ripened and mellowed by age, and
for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is
unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most
of the leading Druggists throughout the
United States, and at wholesale from the
undersIgned, who will forward descriptivo
pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
Respectfully, etc.,
