On thc 24th day of 1)< comber 18H0, an act was passed hy thc leg islature of tilts state, empowering the Board of Agricultuie to locate two experimental stations, one in the Piedmont region and one 111 the lower tier of counties. The Hoard was required to give ninety days notice that bids would bo received, and this was done. After six months surely every community had time to na aka a bid if they so desired. At any rate this was the reasonable conclusion of thc Hoard, and they have examined tho several offers and have properly accepted the highest, which gives one station to Spartanburg and one to Darling ton. Several of our exchanges think the action unwise, inasmuch as other counties might have offer ed moro if the matter had bern de ferred until after thc Fail meeting of the General Assembly. |The Act ?aid give the notice as "soon us prac ticable after the passage of this act." We think the intention of the legis lature has been carried out. But, since theelose of the session of the legislature, Congress has passed Gie Hatch bill, which ap propriates a large sum for experi mental stations in tho several states This alters thc situation, hut can not alter the authority given the Hoard of Agriculture, lt is thought hy many that these two stations, cannot receive the appropriations of the Hatch bill, but that the mon ey ls given to tho Annex of the South Carolina College. This be ing the case, we will have $10*000 and the phosphate royalty, given yearly by the state, and another fully equipped experimental sta tion gi von by by the general gov ernment. This, as we think, will ho more stations than are necessa ry. In view of these ?facts, let the Board of Agriculture take the ad vicoof thc New <v Courier, and "has .ten slowly" in expending money ?on these stations, until after tho ?meeting of the legislature. The world is full of medlers. "There are men In some localities vW'hoispend a good portion of their dime in regulating the affairs of ?r|her people, even without reward, nod When thc jr services are unap preciated. St range to say, it some times happens 'hat such men em .ark in journalism. They print iwepapeas, and growl year ip and ar .out ?.I everything and noth ig. When sos. p runs low at home ey<goouinnd regulato tho com .usi?rby In which they live; meas uring each individual who happens to AV* une 1 heir growling propensity} Lythe little, low, mean, contracted Standard, which they set up. Com munities thus afXio.od, are to bo pitied. IBventbe New York Herald has been lend ?stray by tho flloovcr hubbub, and in commenting on tho affair says, that the whites of tho Soutdn know that the colored peo ple have410 love for those who once administered tho lash. Hut fortu nately, the fact is different. There may have beena time In thi.s sec tion, when, under tho Influence and leadership of carpet-baggers and M?olawags, tho negroes mistrusted their former masters, but ton years of home-rule and democratic supremacy, has removed the last vest agc of fear on thc part of the negroes. They know by experience that tho white man-the Southern white mail-ls their best friend. In times of trouble they go to their former musters; in prosperity they receive from them encouragement. It ls absolute folly for the North ern press to attempt to make lt ap pear that there is anything in the South bordering on race animosity. bur democratic doctrine, which is that tho most worthy shall receive political honors, excludes the negro from office, but lt is violent to pre sume that because we refuse to bo ruled by negroes, that therefore we hate thc mee. This is most em phatically a mistake. Tho white men do not hate the negroes, und the negroes know lt; nor do the ne groes hate tho whites. Tho world hos never given un example of two races having such vast differences, morally, intellectually, socially, living under the ?ame government, with political equally, who have maintained such friendly relation towards eaeh oilier. The negroes aro dependant, and so long as they recognise tho whites as superior and as friends,-so long as they are willing to occupy tho social plano on which destiny has placed them, they need fear nothing. Governor (mnDON commuted the sentence of a iniirdorer from doath tv imprisonment lor Ufe,>nd the citizens of Dutton. Ga., hung tho Governor in effigy. Such shameful disicspcct to tho chlot executive officer of the state must be condemned. Governor GORDON, in the exercise of power vested in him by the constitution, examined the morl ts of this case and came to the conclusion that it was worthy of executive clemency. Those who engaged tn this disgraceful insult have undoubtedly failed to injure Ibo character tho illustrious GOR DON, or to reflect upon his official integrity. Considering tho fact that there arc grave doubts as to the guilt of tho condemned man, this action of the people show s that it is not beyond tho range of possibil ity that some of the evldonae was trumped up. At any rate the dig nity of the commonwealth has not suffered by this act of clemency. When we consider the fact that the National Bank of Laurens has been in operation only one your, and of course has been at great ex pense during the llrst year, two thousand dollars surplus and four per cent divided is a line showing. No better stock can be, found than this Bank offers. Wo suggest that the Grand Jury of thi*. county call the attention of tho Legislature to the necessity of allowing Trial Justices to have Ju risdiction in eases of petit larceny. The ends of justice aro not subserv ed by forcing theso trilling eases through the expensive machinery of the Court of Sessions. This State ls due Col. I. G. Me hi issiek a vote of thanks for his persistence in presenting to the legislature a hill to make the steal ing of water-melons a misdemean or. A man has as much right to enjoy the fruits of his lindon patch ns his corn Held, and the wonder is that such an Act was not passed long ago. P R 0 H I B I T I ON. BY (' h. vI K rc. The colored people of Louisiana have called a convention to be held in the St. Charles Methodist Epis copal church In New Orleans, to effect a permanent organization to aid in extirpating the rum traille. The convention will hold session for two days, to be addressed by prominent ministers and laymen. It will close with a grand mass meeting of delegates and citizens. Tin* Maryland prohibition cam paign will be inaugurated by a grtVld temperance camp-meeting, to be held near G lydon Station, about eighteen miles from Balti more, beginning July 20 and clos ing August 2d or 3rd. On tho last dav of the camp meeting tho State Convention of the prohibition par ty will nominate candidates for Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General, otc. This will be tho greut day and there will bc delega tions from every county. The 'Knoxville Haily Sentinel In Its issue of May 2?th, explained its position In the following wolds: "While a Democratic Legislature and a D?mocratie Governor sanct ioned tho submission of the quest ion to thc people, the subject is above ?ll party lines; it is a ques tion that pertains to the home life of the people, und with this view of tho question The Sentinel will Will be found upon the side of the right, let the result he what it may." The. result of Ibo recent Local Option oloctions In North Caroli na are very significant. The fol lowing named places were carried for prohibit ion : Raleign, Durham, Reidsvllle, Monroe, Concord, Concord Town ship, Plttftboro, Warrenton, Snow Hill, Mt. Olive, Cameron, Beaufort Madison, Smithville, Lu m berton' Albermarle, Albormarlo Township,1 ftookerton, Broadway and Sea board,-18 towns and 2 townships. The places voting against prohi bition ure: Charlotte, Winston, Goldsboro, Kin-don, Henderson, Loulsburg, Oxford, Washington. Township No 1 of Cleveland County, and Laiirin burg,-?? towns and I township. Kennt? kulde IN ( it ion b'rom tho ^ashville Penitentiary. In the state prison at Nashville, several months ago, it was announ ced that an effort was being made to secure Prohibition in tho State of Tennessee, and an Amendment petition was offered to the convicts for signature. By a rising vote they unanimously requested pcr mlardon to sign it, and !l(?7 prisoners of whom 259 stated that drink was the direct cause of their crimes, signed tho petition. Thc prohibition question hus giv cn rise io moro discussion in Tex as loan pny issue ever brought be fore the people? Those In lavor of proelbitlon liV? principally in thc thickly populated counties in the northern portion ol the state, Dal las and Fort Worth being the pro hibition strongholds, whllo Galves ton, Han Antonia and Kl Paso are opposed to lt. Both sides are ma king a vigorous campaign, and vast quantities of printed matter for and against tho amendment are distributed throughout the Tho anil-prohibitionists publish an illustrated paper In Dallas at the cost of $2,000 per month, and .10,000 copias aro distributed each issue, It ls generally reported in Texas that che brewers and liquor men in 8t. Louis havo sent large sums of money into the ?tate to ho used du ring the campaign and the prohibi tionists arc-equally liberal in ex pending money, so that the elect ion will bo stubbornly contested on both shies) ?nd the race will be very close. Most of th? leading business mon of Toxas are opposed to prohibition, but lt is said that ful ly two thirds of tho newspapers in tho state are in favor of lt and many leading men aro fighting on that side. Texas Workers Confident. The reactionary effect of the dis graceful liquor mob in this city which broke up Bishop Turner's meeting, rotton-egged the speaker and afterward rotton-egged the col ored church to which Bishop Tur ner had retired, has been so strong throughout Texas that even the li quor organs admit that nothing so damaging to tho nuM-Prohlbition cause has yet happened in the can vas. Tho colored people particu larly have manifested a determina tion to resent nt the polls the out rageous attack en Bishop Turncr TheClty Council has reelnded it. resolution denying the Prohibitions Ists the use of public grounds for their meetings. To-night Col. W. S. Horndon of Tyler, addressed a big and enthusi astic Prohibition meeting. lie handled the hoodlum Mayor and Aldermen and their followers with out gloves. Tho liquor men had advertised an anti-prohibition meeting to bc held on thc Main Plaza at tho same hour, but al though they had brilliant speakers and a brass-band their demonstra tion was completely dwarfed by the Prohi iib u gathering, Col. AernOOll n. ul ? his speech in the Court House. The trial of Major Callaghan and his accomplices in the attack upon thc Prohibitionists is still in pro gress before the United States Com missioner. The Mayor made a ridiculous exhibition of himself when he was arraigned. He blui tcd out that be didn't seo why a Democratic United states District Attorney should come all the way from a distant city to prosecute a Democratic Mayor. The outlook fora Prohibition vic tory is brilliant throughout the State. Tho numerous reports from the North of the immense exertions being made by the liquor-dealers to raise money to defeat Prohibi tion in this Stat? only convince thc workers that their chances of suc cess are admitted by the. enemy. The State Prohibition Committee ls now beginning careful prepara tion for guarding tho ballot-boxes against frauds on election ?lay. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, July 2nd. 1887 June 80th, being the end of tho fiscal year, there is now much fear among many of the Department clerks as a reduced legislature ap propriation hill makes necessary a corresponding reduction lu tho cle rical force of tho Government, and it is certain that a shower of official heads will fall into the department waste-basket. For this reason not a few (dorks have doforrod taking their usual leave, not wishing to be to? far away from their influential friends on this dread day. At this time, too, the presence of un un usually large number of Congress men in the city ls due to a desire to protect their proteges. Cue day this week tho Depart ment of Justice was dm pud iii mour ning in memory of James Speed, Attorney General in P resident Lin coln's Cabinet. AI r Speed was a steadfast Republican until 1881, when bc repented ot" his evil polit ical associations ways and redeem ed himself by enlist!ng in the col urns of Cleveland an d Hendricks. Il there had been a few thousand such women on th?? Union side as sh o of w hom 1 iiowwrite, the Civil war would not have lasted two, years.This lady, aMrsBrown,of W Vu., has borne in all .'{.'J children, 20 of tho number being boys, Hi of whom served in the (inion Army, Of which number bul two wen; kill ed} each of the other 14 draws a pension from tho Government for disabilities reeievod in service and the death of two sons also entitles the mother to a pension. General Black says the Hies of the office fail to show another record where the 16 sons of ono father and moth er served in the late war. Tho military spirit lately Infused into the citizen* of Washington ls still rife, as is evidenced by the or ganization ol three or four militia companies during the past month, Which have been formed into a Na tional Guard, mirier tho direction ami command ofGonoral Ordway, so that In case of foreign invasion or civil conflict tho Capitol of the Nation would be able to furnish many defenders from Its own lire sides. It is a matter of history that the original Grand Armyofthe Repub lic was almost disrupted, that its in fluence and usefulness was impair ed, and that lt had to be reorganiz ed because Its managers unwisely permitted it turned into a partisan Republican machino, lt now seems that history ls about to repeat Itself In this instance, OS General Fair child, Its commander-in-chief, says that the financial work of last year was the drafting of the Department Pension Bill. A Bill has been made out and sent to all Of thc posts for approval, those of this city having given their endorsement, another attempt will he made to haul mil lions out ef the Treasury. Then the Tuttle and battle-Hag episodes considered In the same connection seem to clearly fore-shadow a polit ical conspiracy in the Grand Army. Therefore I advise Democratic members of the G. A. R. to keep a sharp eye on their Republican brethren all along the line. Report has it that there is a se rious estrangement between tho President and Secretary Endicott. That the resignation of the man of ancient and illustrious lineage has heon called for, and will |be forth coming within 80 days. It is thought the last difference aros? out of th? Secretary's hasty action ip advising the return of tde battle Hags, although I am informed that there ha* long boon a painful lack of cordiality botwoon tho two gen tlemen, and that any body else but fie Secretary would, have resigned at almost auy time in the past six months. Those days about evory third Congressman or Ex-Cnnaressnian who entes the omeo of Secretary Lamar is 'ni once bulletined In tho newspapers as his successor, it being generally assumed that tho S 'crotary will take his seat on tho Supremo Hench in October at whiohtime, Ithink tho appointment will be announeod and accepted, for who can atFoid to decline an honor sooxhalted? All this sum mer I believe tho President will be canvassing for a suitable Secretary of tho Interior, and there can bo little doubt, thut'in tho exorcise of his usual sound judgment, he will tink the right man for tho place. It ls quite likely that tho Presi dent und Mrs Cleveland will take another pleasure trip in July, and that tho two expect to celebrate Mrs Cleveland's twenty-third birth day occuring on July 21st, in some quiet mountain retreat of tho "Old Dominion." Tho Commissioners of tho f)ls triet of Columbia have issued a re vised set of ordinances for tho gov ernment of the citizens of Wash ington, regulating everybody and everything from the crowing of a cock to tho shooting of a fire crack er. The small boys have already gotten ahead of the Commissioners by biding in barns and stables to set oir tire-works, tho result being two targe tires. Selecting an Empress. The Emperor of China to Marry.- How the WIVOB are Selected from the Mott Beau tiful Women. An Important Evjnt. San Francisco, July JJ.-Some time ago Ibo Empress Dowager of China, who is said to be anublo wo man, and who has reigned ns re gent, Issuod an edict through the Pekina Gazed, that the Emperor should marry, and set a date when a reception should be held to ean ditates for the high honor. Ever since the receipt of this edict, tho Chinese residents of this city have speculated much on whom the choice would fall to marry his im perial majesty, Kwong Suey, "Son of Heaven" and "Lord of Ten Thou sand Years," etc. News which has been anxiously looked for was re ceived In this city yesterday, an nouncing that a brido had been se lected for tho young emperor and that -fOjtKWjOOO will be expended tn the celebration of this most auspi cious event. When the announce ment of when th? marriage will take place is received here, the chi nese residents will prepare for a proper observance of the event. Tho day will be made a holiday, tho dragon Hag ?viii be floated, leas ing made the or dor of business, and a procession and other exercises will ba held. Hut as yet tho date of tho marriage remains with tho fates, which tlie astrologers of the empire must divine, The tirst ceremony of betrothal ls the choice of the bride, A Chi nese Empress is not chosen for no bility of family or reputation* although generally she is taken from the nobility. Her personal beauty is almost exclusive require ment. The mother of Mien Fung, ll former empress, kept a fruit stall. The emperor himself has nothing to do with the selection of the em press, Ono of the requirements of tlie would bo bride was that she should be of the Mongolian race, as no other blood hus been permit ted to rule in tho Chinese Luipi re for 250 years. On tin? appointed day the Mon golian papas and mamas took their fairest daughters to tb?' empress' palace. The empress with her la dies, thou chose the handsomest virgin. She should be ?'inpress, but tho emperor is also legally on titleil to eight qneons. Consequent? lp ?'ight other handsome virgins wore chosen to fill these high offi ces. The personalities of theso se lections have not renchod ibis city but the next mail is expected to furnisn the particulars. From all accounts F.mperor Kwong Suoy is a commendable young man, und has considerable influence with Confucius and other gods. On May 4, for instance, he prayed for rain. China pupers relate that on May 13 it rained. All China fell down on Its knees to express thanks for the beneficent hoar! ag of Kwong Sueys petition. Suey was born in 1881, and was crowned at the ugo of 4. He is a son of tho seventh brother of the emperor proceeding the last. It is expected that aft or tho marriage the Empress Dowager will hand over tho reins of government to Suey. Iteedy Hives Hu pt isl Association The next Union of tho First Sec tion of th? lt. H.
