THE NEWS AND HE13ALh, WINNSBORO,;s. V.' SATURDAY, MAY A1, 's i1't. WL. McDONALD.. A HUDsON young man has boen arrested for "pure laziness" and being a "drag" on his father. Iis offense is a very grave one; of course, and fur nishes a good cause for detention. But we are inclined to think that this is one case in which the old gentleman should have taken the law in his own hands. TiE Cleveland Plaindealer looks upon the suggestion that the Demo crats nominate a Southern man for Vice-President as sentimentally good, but as foolish as far as practical poli tics Is concerned. But the next Dem ocratic Convention will perhaps learn the Plaindealer a thing or two that it never thought of before. The Solid South is now an integral part of the Democratic party, and there is no rubbing it out. The Vice-Presidency is really a small matter. EVERY State in the Union has a divorce law except South Carolina. They are very diverse in their provi sions and in practice give rise to some curious legal difficulties. The Courts of the different States are becoming very jealous in the matter of jurisdic tion, and the tendency just now is to i'eftse to recognize as valid a divorce by the Court of another State unless both parties to the suit were subject at the time to the jurisdiction of the Court granting the same. O'Brien at Toronto. The riot of Orangemen in Toronto, Canada, to prevent William O'Brien, the editor of the United Ireland, from speaking in that city, was a disgrace ful exhibition, to characterize it in the mildest terms. It will receive nothing but condemnation from the Intelligent friends of Ireland on this side of the Atlantic, It would be well for the Irish cause if the responsibility for the affair could be packed oil on a congregation of roughs inspired by the minlona of Salisbury. But this cannot be done; the task is too great a one even for the mendacity of partisan politicians. The unpalatable truth must be accepted that it was the unpremeditated unris ing of Canadian Irishmen of the Protestant persuasion. It will not have the effect of strengthening the conviction of the Ameriean people in the capacity of the Irishmen for self government. Unequal ConditIons. Some days ago the World gave this explanation of the origin of the labor movement: "The labor movement in politics is the outgrowth of the feeling that our laws and the conditions of life created by them are no longer equal, that the Government. is conducted in the inter est of the rich and the privileged, and that the old parties are either unmwill ing or Impotent to remedy tie injus. tico and errect existing evils." Whereupon a contemporary asked if we, or if anybody, could "devise a system of laws or a form of govern ment that would bring about an actual equality of 'conditions of life' among men ?" The World, it is hardly necessary to say, does not believe in any lovejlng process applied to .'ociety. Especially isit opposed to levelling men downI to the plane of the lowest ability, the least enterprise, the smallest industry and thrift. Neither does it believe in any patent pl an for making the witless equal to the brainy', the lazy equal to the industrious, the unskilled equal to the trained, or the intemperate equal to the sober. But there may be, and in a Rlepublic there should be, equ all ty of rights, of privileges and of op. portun ties for all citizens, which does not exist here in as great a degrr3 as it once did.-NY. Y. World. This is a formidable indictment, and yet who can gainsay its truth? Who in this (lay would have the hardihood to maintain the proposition that the average young man whose fortune consists In hia pluck, his energy and his brains, has anything like an even chance, in the race of life, with a dull descendant of a pig-Iron manufacturer who has a million of dollars invested in an enterprise that is "protected by a government tariff? Indeed, if the whole truth must be told, the peope- of this country have sunk into a condition of insignificance. The railroads and other monopolies, engendered by a false economic sys tem, have overshadowed them in im portance; and the troublo with the two political parties is that each one has heretofore shown a willingness to tolerate any state of affairs in order to get officee and keep office. At every recurrence of a general election they each come before the people with a platform of principles that means any thing and everything-a perfect Jum ble of. contradictories. The formations of new parties when rightly interpreted Is not an fanmixed evil by anly means; something will have tn be done occasionlyt ach the old parties that the p fo no give ;up everything thQ et t ene of d po te owe,c NUMBER ONE., Messrs. Editors: Acting on the principle that "It is better late than never," I now attempt to comply with the promise made you, and give your readers an account of my' Western or Texas trip. Monday, March.14, .feUUnd me'in Charlotte purchasing a ticket through to Waco, Texas, paying for the same thirty-seven dollars .and a few cents. The clerk very courteous ly gave me choice of routes, inform ing me that the fare would be the same on any and all the roads. Stand. ing just in rear of me while this trans. action was going on was i young man, who iaformed me that he was from the old North State, and was on his way to seek his fortune in the great State State of Texas. Having no particular objective point ho also bought a ticket to Waco, giving us a compagnon de voyage, which, though unexpected, w?s'none the less pleasant. After but a short delay we boarded the. cars of the Piedmont Air Line, whose beauti ful coaches gave us assurance of a comfortable and pleasant ride over its length. On the train we again had the good fortune to meet with friends of by-gone days and revived friend ships which, though so genial to our naturo, are yet so easily dispelled in this matter-of-fact-monev.getting-eve ry-mani-for-himself-ag' in which we live. Our iron-horse stied on his"way with un:aging energy, carrying us rapidly through the thriving cities and towns which have so recently sprung up along this line. Reader, If you are one of the number that thinks South Carolina is dcad,take a ride over this Air Line Railroad and see for your self if there is not "life in the old laud yet." We reached Greenville on time, and having a few spare moments. walked out and took a look at the surround ings. We were standing in the .same place when in boyhood days we had shot the Robin red-breast and nimble squirrel and when on many an eve, we had gathered chinquepins and made heads for a certain black-eyed maid, who shall be nameless here, but with whom we then thought we were desporately in love. ' How changed is all of this now I Tre mondous brick and frame buildings, with street care running every few minutes between them, now occupy our foer "happy hunting grounds," and prove beyond thA h alnw of a doubt that whether "Uncle Jasper" is right in his theory or not, "the world do move." But the "all aboard" of the conductor awakes us from our reverie and reminds, us that life is real, and he must be up and doing who would keep pace with the pro gross of our day and.tinme.. We hasten aboard, and continue our journey towards the GateCity of the South, which we reached about 10.80 p. mn., where we were escorted'by a very clever gentleman, Mr. Ray by name, through the immense crowd around the depot to a 'bus, which car ried us to the depot of the train for Chattanooga. We wvere'informed that the time changes at Atlanta one hour, and while we reached the latter place at 10.30 we had one hour to stay In the city and would leave at 10.80 p. mn. We are sorry we can give your readers no description of this magnifi cent city; we only spent one hour in it, and that hour at night, and, there fore, have a very meagre idea of its vastness. The transfer omnibus was crowded with a family of negroes goin tothedarkies' promised Iland, LiteRck. The man of the party was somewhat communicative, and gave me the Information that he had been out WVest for years, had secured a situation with a furniture house at thirty dollars a month, out of which lhe had saved enough to come back for his family, which he then had with him. The first class coach on this road to Chattahooga was pretty rough looking, not as good as our second class cars on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad; but as there were only three or four passengers (our darkey friends traveling second class), we had plenty of room, and settled down as best we could f or a night's rest. We are somewhat famous as a good sleeper, having slept soundly all night after the earthquake, and though rolling along at a rapid pace, and in a not very comfortable bed, we knew nothing until daylight, when we awoke to find ourselves nearing Chattanooga. Here we found a nice, convenient waiting-room, and had the satisfaction of a good wash. After getting ciuders and coal-dust ont of our eyes we felt considerably re freshed, and enjoyed -a cup of good, strong coffee, which, for ten cents, we edded to our morning meal taken n.om our lunch basket. Having a stay of some time--three hours-we sauntored around to take In the city. Just outside of the wait ing-room door were large placards, on which wore printed in promninent letters, "Beware of Pickpockets," "Thieves Around Here." Near the window was a ple of Buckeye mow. ing machines some twenty feet high and about the same in width. -On the front of the depot was a notice forbid ding hotel drummers or hack-drivers to enter the building for the purpose of soliciting customers. I do not doubt that the managers of the differ ent roada conWroing here have many times received the thanks of the trav eling publio for this notice. But enough for this letter; I will write you again. ,. y, lieMater.' sure Cure for Cou~s h olds eita And all diseases of Lhe pulmonary organls.
