OARMNOTOIN A CO., Proprietors. Thu Mormons. Ju.^t> nt this timo Congross is greatly Concerned' over thc "Mor mon question. Indeed, Uti* iN nn important question, und it has ut nil times demanded the thoughful consideration <>f Ute wisest and most patriotic statesman. That Mormonism is wrong; nay, Hitit such practices ns they allow aro 'tho gr?ntest curso that cnn blight tho morals of any community, all aro ready to admit, yet after tito repeated ef fort? to eradicate tho ovil by legis lation, it stands to-day ns a re ligious denomination, recognized ns such in tho charter wit io li Con gross grunted. Polygamy is an of? fence against tho law, un outrage upon decency and an insult to our civilization, lt is a crime, and every person who is found guilty, should bo punished accordingly. We have no sympathy whutevtr with tho Mormons, but whenever n church, acting under the provisions of its charter, luis acquired proper ty, it "matters not what may bo its tenets, any attempt to confiscate that property, or to convert ii tu other use.--., we consider a danger ous precedent. This is what the United States is trying to do. Such it course would load to greater disaster than all the wealth of India, spent in missionary work by tho mormons could accomplish. Such nn act is without a parallel, since the Crusades. If, from the history of the past we crin learn one fact, it ls that re ligious freedom is the ground work upon which civil liberty must rest. . This is recognized by the framers of our constitution, und yet, because the Mor mons differ from us in belief, the? must be deprived of their vested property. If their religion Jonis them to commit crime, pun ish them; not on account of their religion, but because they ita vc committed an offence against the laws of the land. When once Congress doclnres a religious sect lo be lu error and unworthy to manage tho property which it has acquired, who can tell the result ? lt is un-American, un-domocratic, unjust, and un act of tyranny. The Edmonds Act has been declared constitutional hy the Court of last resort and to-day thoso of the Mormans who persis! in tho practico of polygamy uro being tried, convicted and punished us fastas tho machinery of the Criminal Courts will allow. Whntcvor muy be thc religious views, u man or a set of men may entertain, when ever such beliefs lead them to commit acts that, tire injurious to society, the constitution will not protect them. They should be, and they aro punished. Still us a Church, the Mormons have rights that the constitution does protect. (Jue is that they'shiill own property in [a manner prescribed by their church. A Stop in the Kight Direction. From the nctlon'of lit" Trustees of tim Sont h Carolina University in adding un agricultural chemist to thc corps of professors in thal Institution, it would -oem t li a t they have not entirely abandoned tho agricultural depart ment. Tho day is not far distant when farm ers of tho South will realize tho importance of studying agriculture as a science. Wo might write column upon column upon the practical valuo*of agricultural chemistry, and while everyone would admit the correct ness of the position, perhaps it would lead no one to sock this knowledge for himself. One gootl agricultural school will do more for thc country, if proper ly conducted, than anything elso. Lot tho young men of tho M?ate study farming as n profession; let them give it the attention they would medicine or law; let Hiern learn to analyze their soil, to know the value of different fertilizers. This is an age that demands that our young men shall pursue the useful as well as tho ornamental branches of learning. Tho utilitarian spirit is gaining ground, .:nd, whllo we do not dis parage a lil?. '. J education, yet wo must recognise (he fart that a State University is designed to give higher edueutjon to those who are not able to obtain it elsewhere, anti it should be made to instruct all classes. This deportment of tho ftouth ance with an net of Congress, which gives it a certain sum, end requires that in addition to Latin, Crock, ?C, some attention shall bo paid lo "branches of learning re lating to agriculture und the me chanic arts." Advertising. Toa newspaper mun, the strang est things ls that win n the town ls crowded with people, and Ibo mer chant has to employ an extra force to servo his customers; and when the whole world seems ready to buy, the mendiant run:; to thc newspaper otliee and slaps in an advertisement covering the whole side of the paper. Vet, w hen trude is dull; w hen the merchant linds his shelves full of goods, audio: noone to buy, he Imagines that his goods w ill sell themselves. The truth of tho matter is that this thing of adverting is a mys tery anyway, und although a man may not he aide to say w hat par ticular customei lie lins gained by having his name in print, 1 defy any man to -how me a real, live, active business man that ls suc cessful, Who does not advertise. Tho world's grout millionaires spend thousands of dollars in div way, and tho verdict of all is that it is a prerequisite to success. Advertise your goods, and now is tho time. They must bo sold and the people must know you, they must know what you heep and wliere to find you. Chief-oi-l*olloe Eichelberger. W hile wc hnve no cause to think that our new "eily fathers" will show any disposition to w ink at vi olations <d* the town ordinances, yet, we mest criticise (heir action in not re-nppoinling Mr. Elehelber borger Chief of Police, sie.ee he has held this position, he lins pre served tho ponce and order of the (own, anil endeavored to enforce thc law against all offenders, irre spective of other, .considerations, ile is one of tho few men who, has endeavored to suppress thels illc gal traine In whlskoy. Without any solicit;;! ?on onj his~'part, tho business mcu'nnd ?property owners of the town prcscnted^n petition to tho Council asking for his re-op pointmcnt, and we doubt if any man could have presented a more respectable petition, yet (bey re j fused ami we (bink (bey Inflicted un , injustice upon this community. The Anderson Journal b*\s dis carded thu patent outside and is now printed on a new Campbell i press. May it continue to show I si^iis of tho prosperity it deserves. Mr. MOKKISOX recommended the Chaplain of the House of Repre sentatives as "a man who feared Cod, loved bis fellow-man and voted the Democratic ticket." There was ? remarkable coinci dence of events in tho lives of Jeff. ' Davis and Abe Lincoln until each approached tho climacteric >f his public career. They were l?<c (> bore, ill Kentucky, Lavis in 1808 and Lincoln in lsd'.). Tliey were both removed from their native State in childhood, Davis being carried to the Southwest and Lincoln further on to tho Northwest, then so called. Both of thom began their political careers nt the same period, ill 184-1, Davis being then a Presidential elector for Polk, and Lincoln lin elector for Henry Clay. Loth served in tho Indian wars of the Wed, and both were elected to Congress about tho same time, 18-1*0 and 1840. And lastly, in tho pnrulollcl, In tho same year, and almost on tho -ame (fay, they were both called upon to preside over their respective governments, Davis as President of the Confed erate States and Lincoln of the Knited St."des.- Lovl&villc Courier Journal. -The Imperial Canad in China is tho longest and largest in thc world.

''hog ami hominy;" Ile bijliOVod that the South should, not attempt to compete with thu West in such ; products. Illinois, Olde, [minina,] kentucky mid other Stales in that ! sceiion can make meal and torn cheap enough to sell to us at a profit and then keep tho cost lower than our tanners can raise these articles. Mis idea IN that the smaller industries idtouitl ho en couraged--fruit, truck and sor ghum. Tho lands ol" the South ure specially adapted to these products. Dairying, and hoe culture, might also be made profitable. The great dllllculty with our truck raisers has been hick of trans portation facilities for shipping their surplus prodco. lt doe * not pay to grow garden truck for local markets as they are so quickly "glutted." A truck farmer re marked a few days ago that ho had over live lui nd rod bushels of sweet potatoes now on hand of the last crop, Hutt Ito could not dispose of at any price nt his noa res I market, and he would probably come out of the I ran- act ion in debt If he shipped them, lt seems strange that -ono of our farmers do not "evaporate" their supplies. There are many machines now mudo thal extract the moisture from vegetables and fruits so cheaply that there ls ?tn Immense proft In Hu4 business. They are usually loo expensive for individual farmers, but \\ hy could not, for instance, thc itleh mond Agricultural Such ty pur chase om* of tho largest of these evaporators and proparo hundreds of tons of garden produce raised around Augusta for market, that ls now annually wasted?
