Tho ono grout question willoh
threatens our government, ?md
ono upon which Homo action must
be taken in tho nour future, is Hud
of railroads. Congress hus spent a
great deal of time upon the consid
eration of is known ns the Inter
states Commerce lull, which seeks
to have a commission appointed
to regulate freights and place the
supervision of railroads in the
hands of tho national government.
Numerous itiftteulties arise in the
consideration of this important
matter. When it comes to thc
"long-bani" and "short haul" thc
best statesmen have failed to renell
a satisfactory solution. If it is
attempted to regulate the freight
charges, at so much per mile, it is
found that numerous roads will
inevitably sutler lu consequence of
competition liv water. Incertain
seasons .steamboats can alford to
carry produce at a low rate and
consequently railroads are compell
ed to reduce freight charges below
living rates. And at oilier seasons
railroads must maleo up the deft;
cioncy thus occasioned, hy raising
their rates. Yid it seems certain
that something is needed to prevent
discrimination. Wo must hold
these powerful corporation.'? in
check. We. offnen hear complaint
against the South Carolina Kail
road Commission, hut it invaria
bly conies from (hose who know
nothing about their duties and what
they are doing for Hie State. Hut
even this Commission cannot
nave us from the tyranny of these
Corporations, To-day Counties ure
taxing themselves to build roads
for Competition, and almost before
thc tax is collected the road goes
into the hands of the corporation
out of whose grasp tho people seek
to free themselves. The greatest
danger is that those corporation
will gain not only a monopoly of
our railroad, hut also a controlling
Influence in our government. Thu
heated campaign now in progress
in Georgia is more than a contest
lad ween Bacon and Gordan. It is
a contest lad ween the people ?md
the railroad influences. Our only
safety is in keeping the govern
ment free from such influences so
that the safe-guards and checks will
he preserved. It is reported that
the Richmond und Danville Syndi
cate, one of tho most powerful in
tlio South, controlling almost all
the roads in upper South Carolina,
North Carolina and some in Geor
gia, have purchased a controlling
interest in the Augusta ami Knox
ville road.
The tronido so far with
our Uailroad Commission, has
been a want, of power to act. Lol
this lie restored and let the people
take the hitter experience of the
people of tho West in their light l?
galas! Railroad Kings, as a lesson.
Some men still hoot at the ?doa
of splitting the Democratic party.
YVhat have they to say as to tho con
dition of affairs in Oconee County ?
As a County, no danger would re
sult from a "split" in Laurens, hut
ns a State wo can't alford it, there
fore lid us stand hy our colors.
OLEOMARGA R IN E.
A hoot ten years ugo a French
chemist discovered that (diane of
tallow, bog's hird, cotton seed oil,
(de., churned in milk, and made to
undergo the process of freezing,
then subjected to extreme heat and
again freezing, would give a sub
stance resembling and answering
the purposes Of butter. Since then
numerous factories have been es
tablished for tho manufacture of
oleomargarine in tho United states.
It bas been found that nothing
short of a chemical analysis will
detect tho difference between oleo?
margerlno and pure butter.
Thu ingredients of olcomurgc
rino, w hile generally ns wholesome,
aie loss expensive than butter, and
Consequently, this discovery luis
been tho means of reducing thc
profit? of the dalry farms of the
Is'ortb. Congress hus been asked
to place a tax upon this manufact
ured oleomargarine in order to pro
tect the duLy-men.
There has always appeared strong
arguments in favor of placing a
moderato revenue on foreign im
ports, in order to protect home in
dustries, but we cannot soe how
one homo industry eau he directly
taxed foi the purpose of protecting
another, without parnliztng the
plrlt which comp'?
tion engenders. If chem ist ry lins
given ns glucose and oleoitiarg?
rlne, which reduces tho price of
Sugar ?uul butter, the people should
have tho bc noll t of the discovery
Hut, strange to say we soo in tho
House of Representatives nt Wash
ington, Democrats voting with the
Repunllcnns in favo: of this outra
geous measure, because their direct
constituency will lie tho Immedi
ate henelleiaries,
IJOCAIJ LEGISLATION.
There is no doubt hut that the
growing tendency" in this state is
towards lo,-ul legislation. Mach
county SOOTHS to Imagine timi it
lias some special grievance that
noods legislative attention, and
boneo hills that have often failed
to pass ?ind become general laws,
aro by special urrangmenl of tho
roprosontntivos from special locali
ties, passed ns local laws. All such
legislation is wrong. It seldom
happens that a public measure will
work better in one section thanan
nnothor, Wo have on our statute
hooks law s that apply to ono or two
('auntiesexclusively, and this local
legislation has grown to such un
extent in the la t few years that it
is often difficult to tell w hut the
?aw of the Slate is. Judge Hudson
remarked at the last term of tho
court hero, that in going from one
county to another, he often found 1
it necessary to consult the statutes,
to see w hat law was applicable to
that particular County.
President Cleveland's policy, in
placing a \ oto upon all bills that
passed the Legislature of New
York, while he was Governor, not
general in their application or that
sought to take law-making power
out of the hands of tho Legislature,
did more to strengthen his adminis
tration perhaps ?han anything else.
It is all wrong und should be so
treaded by those whose duly it is to
make laws.
A newspaper correspondent ls
responsible for the statement that
a friendly reader of the proof sheets
of Senator li..gan's now hook, called
his attention to several sentences
of rough hewn English ami sug
gested an amendment. Logan re
plied. "1 put them In Oil purpose, if
I had not the confounded newspa
pers would have said I did not
write it myself." This was entirely
satisfactory.

[ For the AllVkltTtSKIU]
A Chapter on Flirts.
Only those who have "been
I there," can realize tho Inexpressi
ble sweetness that lingers around
and follows the rise and progress of
courtship. Whether in tho-crowded
hall, amid a throng of worshipers
and admirers, or in so m o wood
bind's shaded bower; liiere comes
ti sudden thrill of pleasure, as thc
sound of her voice reaches the ear.
To him who hears, that voice hath
n charm, mure enticing flinn the
j harp of Opticus. Who hath not,
on a summer's eve, with tho "cur
tain of night pinned back by the
stars," been transported above the
j tolls and cares, and troubles of this
world, by tho presence of some fair
damsel. Are such pleasures real,
or aro they Imaginary only? Wo
may shake tho hands of candidates,
we may press the palms of dear
friends and relatives, nay, men may
fondly clasp lim hand of ii mother
in-law, wililoo! ti feeling of special
pleasure; bul Oh! when the lingers
? of two lovers are placed in eua ta cl,
muru powerful Hum ii" Issued from ?
an electric battery, ti current of
pleasure, too utterly utter to be de
scribed draw- the bodies toward
eatdi other as unerringly as the noo
j die inclines towards; the North.
What i- love? Now wo ?lo not
propose to venture upon a deflni
' lion. From the Hine of Adam to
the present, youths of all agu--, have
spent their earlies! years in (pies!
of a "Dulcinea del Toboso," and as
often as they have been successful
in this search, have attempted to
describe this wonderful feeling of
love, and each lime it has baffled
their descriptivo genius, By a look
or tone-by tho slightest touch, an
idea of it may bo conveyed, but
not in words. Touch upon ii with
pen, and il falls immediately into
ii sickly sentimentality,insiphl,dis
gusting.
One cnn but look upon society as
il appears in th is age, with a feeling
of apprehension and regret. This
God-given passion ls deoascd and
counterfeited so often, that it ls
really strange that the young men
ami maidens of this generation,
ever fllld Hie connu e io trust each
other, oven bet?re tho minister.
Voting ladies, despilo IlOIllO inllll
p.nces and friendly advice, often
?magi no I hoir education incompleto,
until they have graduated in the
art of flirting. To-day, they raise
some unsophisticated, unsuspecting
youth to the highest realms, and
to-morrow casi him Into the lowes!
depths, that another "victim" may
take Ills place.
Mr. Pidttor, as bad as it may
sound, I assert that girls of this
stripe are liol scarce. With such
ere..t urcs ns loaders of society whit!
can !<e expected? But this is really
a pleasant picture compared to the
sight of another, a human mousier,
as depraved as the guilty felon,
and as dangerous as a madman.
This hoing, although perhaps no! so
often seen as tho girls just described,
are far more dangerous. Ile ls What
is know n as a male flirt, or "mash
er." Wo call upon the girls of this
age to discountenance these vipers,
who gnaw at tho foundation of so
ciety, hud thronten to convert it
into a pandemonium.
Let every girl who reads this ar
ticle, register a solemn VOW, that
Stich characters will no longer bc
treated as her friends. Let each
feel the responsibility that rests
upon her to preserve and trans
mit to posterity unimpaired, thc
snctlty of love, courtship ami
marriage.

editor chums-n right to judge for
ourselves.
if the farmers constitute, three
fourths of the people, which WO be
lieve is the conceded proportion,
they certainly have tl right to be
heard, and that in whatever way
they may choose, whether it bo by
primary election or convention.
The people can only concentrate

In Groat Britain, Holland, und
