I Hi I I I) LAIlOU PARTY. It ??ems ut Inst that n national political party is about to bo Sprung on tho public which may capture Momo of tito d?mocratie ?tates of tho North und Wost, und may cv- ? cn become a formidublo rival of thc two existing parties. We refer to tho "United Labor Party." In "February last, u number of dele gates representing various labor organizations, met in Cincinnati und formed this as a national polit ical party. Tho Ohio branch has recently nominated a lull state ticket and mudo a declaration of principles. The platform adopted declared among other things, that tho national agencies of produc tion and distribution aro seized by syndicates of speculators and gamb lers to whom every productive in dustry in tue lund ia compelled to pay tribute. Laws aro enacted in the special interest of combinations of aggregated w ealth to thc detri ment of both producer and consu mers. It demanded that the laws against the employment ol bribery, force or intimidation to secure nominations or elections to public otllco be rigidly enforced, and that freo drinks and lunch at saloons be declared bribery by tho statute; that all banks shall bc required to give security to thc stato for the average amount of their deposits; that speculation in tho necessaries ol lifo, "cornering" tho market and .dealing in margins and futuros aro ruinous to legitimate business. &hjs appears plausible and will doubtless^ take well in certain sections. l?'ot tho convention, dominated by disvfdplos of Henry (loorgc, demanded further thc abo lition of all taxation on 1 improve ments and tho products of Industry, the raising of all revenue bjvV a sing le tax on land values, government al control of railways, tclcgrap'.bs, telephones and other means of dis tribution and communication. Here is the dangor. So fur us the South is concerned, thc Republican party would bu a benefactors when compared to a party having such a platform. They want to "raise all revenue by a tax on land." This gives the nature of tho now party, -tho laborers VS. landlords. Know ing that if the revenues of our gov ernment were derived solely from M direct tax on land, tho farmers would immediately be made bank rupts, Mr. G KO HOE hopes by thus forcing farms on the market to sup ply bis followers with "forty acres and a mule." No country ev prospered while lands were depre eluting in value. Then they want tho govornmon to control railways, telegraphs, te phones otc. Just think for o\ moment the power given to a pa ty who could appoint In addition t?o tho officers of the government, alli the railway and (eteprnph employv ees! Suppose this party, taking the Republicans as a precedent, should, levy a tax on all employees, for cam .ign purposes. What a fund could be raised! No, thc govern ment must exorcise some control over thc railroads, but it cannot own and operate them without en dangering tho republic Jtself. Ex? porlenCO bas taught us tVt parties may become corrupt, am/if we had not the means of overthrowing thc party when lt U corrupt, then, per sonal liberty, security of property, Und all the right* and privil?ges for which our father* before us have struggled, would be numbered among the things that wore. NKWMPAPK?IH AND CRIME, lt is axiomatic that newspapers nre powerful in moulding public sentiment. This we do not core to discuss, but take lt as true. Then the ((tie dion ls, what should be thc attitude of ? newspaper towards a party accused of crime ? It is the opinion of THE ADVERTISER, that to take sides either for or against a person accused of crime, is wrong absolutely in principle, policy and by every instinctof justice. Pro vision has been made for tho trial of every man "who ls suspect od of crime, hut nowhere ls tho power of deciding upon his guilt or innocence given to one man, or h? ti newspaper. Twelve unbiased, disinterested men must agree on n verdict. When a murder has been oommitted, the murderer should be hung, and it is the duty nf the pro-*, t be pulpit and th? people to insist upen jurors doing their whole duty.- Hut it is not the province of tho press,, nor the pulpit, nor the people to glamor for the conviction or acquittal of certain offenders. Wo can insist that human life ?ld bo held tooted! weean dis cuss what ure extenuating circum stances, what aggravating; but, when wc come to apply th? fact? to particular case? which must como for trial before jurors, thou wo go beyond our jurisdiction and become leaders in lawlessness. Newspaper.-* should insist upon a rigid enforce ment of the law, but how can they do thin when they constitute them selves a Jury to try the case? It would be strange indeed if, out of the number of homicides com mitted almost daily around US, it should happen that tho aggressor was always killed and the man who dbl the killing was an inno cent victim acting only [tn self defence. This is remarkable, but true, unless it can be said that ju rors havo not dono their duty. Wo have reason to believe that in many cases thc twelve men ap pointed to try offenders, have failed to roach a conclusion in accordance with law ?ind justice; yet after all, we eau go nowhere else for tho en forcement of law. Newspapers sometime undertake to forestall public opinion, to man ufacture public sentiment, to create sympathy for toe accused or the contrary. Ail this is wrong. A calm, quiet, thorough investigation, and trial by fair and impartial ju. rors, seldom fails to accomplish sub stantial justice. It is only when unwarranted means are employed that the guilty escape or the inno cent suf?or. It is the duty of a newspaper to give thc facts, in as fair nod impartial manuel as possible. OU lt COLLEGE The trustees ol the Laurensvllle Female College have succeeded in placing this institution in the hands of one who is peculiarly titted to tho task of building up a high-grade school. Prof. McCaslan, comes among us a high toned gentleman, a ripe scholar, and a successful teacher. Ho ls "to the manor born" and not a stranger to the people of | Laurens. If th? people of this town, coun ty and state, really desire higher education for womam, now is the time for them to rally to the sup port of this school. It represents no special religious denomination, but is intended to give all tho fe malo accomplishments, thorough training, and at the same time lo af ford young ladies parental govern ment. Pupils are under the miine tdlatoeme of tho Presidents family airii^ enjoy homo comforts, while the \ex pense ls far.less than at such sehooVbi elsewhere. A careful examination of tho workings of tho sehooi\ tho curriculum, thc fac ulty, will srftiow that our college ls once moro/-worthy, in the highest degree, ev/ery effort that ls made to build it,rup. In music, lt offers su p?rieur advantages. Most thorough and? competent Instruction is given, an-.d pupils also have the ad van trage of practice on a number of ele want new pianos. Wo heartilycom itticnd this college to those who hove daughters to educate. Our Washington Correspondent shows that tho amount paid In pen sions by tho government during the past year, has exceeded the year before, hy 20,138,052. This is simply alarming. As we recede from the war, our war debt increa ses by such figures every year. If a Stop ls not called in tho matter of pensions the government threatens to become bankrupt. The Susoiiff Railroad. [From tho Knoxville Journal.J The delegation from South Car olina, in the interest of the C. K. &. W. railroad, arrived in the city yes terday afternoon. Thc y were met at tho depot by Col. Powell, with carriages and they were drawn to tho Hattie House, where they made their headquarters. The party con sists of Messrs. J. B. Humbert, pres ident of tho A.C. ?y W. road ; .las. A.

Heady. Mr Connor, is accompanied by his wife. Last night an informal meeting wa? held in the parlors of the Hat tie House, ut which Colonel Charl ton presided. The meeting was ad dressed by Mr Honet, Colonel Hoyt, Governor Mauldln, President Hun - bert, Colonel Heady und Colonel Connor, on behalf of the vlultor?. They told of tho importance to their section of tho proposed road, and said that it would put them in roach of their corn-crib, smoke house and coal hod; that tho pro ject was tlfty years old and that nearly that long ago Jun. C. Calhoun Carolina's greatest orator, had apok en In Knoxville fin that very sub ject. They sp?ke of their eager ness to pierce the mountain harrier and what they would do to further the desired end. At the end of their talks Mayor Luttrell was rolled upon. He wel comed them to the city? He know the importance of their road and would do everything in his power to further lt. However. Just at present th? city council o? Knox ville were about to consider for the third time, the two propositions of the cross country lines. Ile said our city council and people areas a unit in fa vor of them. Until these propositions were voted for we ifould do nothing. Afterwards bo ?nd Knoxvlllo wouli* do every Jiiiuj that could be dono. Laurens County Conference.

The follow ing ls an extract from an address delivered before tho Laurens Agricultural Society, thir ty years ago by H. F. Stalrley Est], of Oreen ville and has lost none of Its force and application by ago. 'Tis in woman's power to work a chango In our appetites, to banish from the board all animal food, by substituting fruits anti farinaceous diet. It gives health and long life. Tho strongest men of the world are thc poters of Smyrna, on the Med iterranean, who curry eight to nine hundred weight, und they never eat meat. A man's nat ural life is from one to two hundred years, but in this ago of mea ts and spirits, six ty is old ugo. it ls in tin; domain of woman to inaugurate a newera in this main business) of lite, stu dy facts and submit them to the world. A pint of Hour contains more nourishment than a pound of bacon-ono worth three cents ami the other twelve. Hut for til ose who v ill stick tt) animal food, take to sheep and cuttle, tish and poul try. Quit the bogs. We would be botter off in health and purse, if not a pound was consumed in the State. Half tho grain and money bud out for li?'g meat, were appro priated to sheep, would treble the amount of meat, timi get the wool thrown in. A sheep never dies in solvent; bis wool will always pay for bis raising. I understand that Ash areas easily raised ns chickens. Every spring brunch would furnish water which now runs in waste to the larger streams. It ls a great tax tt) impose on the fair sex such a revolution indict. Hut it is pos sible, it is practicable, it is natural, it is easy. All our inventions in meat-eating ure frauds, violations of nature, and when wo discover the true laws of nature, wo should live in conformity with them. The garden and the granary, the orch ard and tho vineyard, satisfy our appetite for food, und cloar watei. brewed in the clouds, and Altered through the eternal bills, should bc our beverage. Tismoman'ssphere to educate our appetites away from tho posion of the still anti fumes of the pip<s by substituting whole some nourishing food, such as was designed by the Creator for us to use, and such as was placed in reach of the first parents in tho gar den. Such ls tho compliment I this day pay to tho ladles of i rens. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER (Special to Tho Advertiser.) Washington, July 8th, 1887. I nm aware that an array of lig ures IH generally considered rutil er dry reading, but as June .loth, the end of the fiscal year, ls very important In Government matters, perhaps I could not do better in tho outset of this letter than to give your renders a brief statement of the condition of Federal finances. Total receipts for the past fiscal year; thc disbursements for the samo period were, pension? and In terest on National debt included, ?208,510,190 against 1242,488,188 the preceding year-thc surplus being ? 102,801,703 against Him, ?515,58? the year before, with thc exception of tho fiscal year ending Juno tho 80th, 1882, the custom receipts ai o moro than for any year in tho history of tho country. East year's receipts aro much largor than wore antici pated by either Secretary Fairchild or Mr Kaiuliill. In tho month of Juno there was un increase of $2,204,840 in the cir culation, and a decrease of $8,167, ?31 ,in tho cash of the Treasury. The Increase in circulation was chiefly in United Statos notes and their certificates and tho decrease in the Treasury cash wan orlncl Cally in gold and nil ver. oort Wh at tts, ;niiod States notes und National bank notes. I luring tho fiscal your Just endod there was itt thc appropriations for fuel, Ught ned water and the con tingent expenso? of public buildings under tho Treasury Department, an unexpended balance of $.100,000 which sum bas been turned into tiio Treasury. Tills shows that our Democratic Administration ia mindful of its pledges of reform and economy. The Pension Olllco beat its best record for work lust year, and that too with tho Increas ed business of the bureau incident to the pensioning of the Mexican veterans, without any additional increase of clerlcal-force-a fact of which the Pension officials ure nat urally very proud, as it puts them BO far ahead of any .-bowing made by the Republicans in the office. The people of Washington are already beginning to discuss und look forward with much Interest, to the meeting of the great Inter national Medical Congress at this place in ?September next. From a professional stand point, it promt* ses to be u splendid success, what ever may be the result financially and socially. Congress only appro priated $ 10.000 of tho $50,000 asked for, and it is expected that the en terprising citizens of the Capital, together with the professional pride of American physicians, will unite their etl'< rts in supplement ing the short-comings ot Congress in tho matter of nuance. The diabolical spirit of anarch ism, which hus prevailed in other cities of the United Btat<*S, bas at least infected a faction of the Knights of Labor of Washington, and the stars and stripes have been wildly, though secretly, denounced and the Government condemned too almost beneath the shadow of the capitol's dome. Hut tin; Oov ernment at Washington still lives, unmindful of such howling fana tics. As a clap of thunder from a clear sky startles all who hear lt, so did the defalcation of Financial Clerk Bacon shock the employees of thu Patent. Olliee-especially those of the Republican persuas on, to whom this trusted and honored of ficial had been unlawfully prepay ing their salaries for eight years. A few days before this discovery many of tho clerks, with Democrat ic Commissioner of Patents Hall at their head, bad publicly met in tlie corridors of the Department and planed resolutions of condo lence on Bacon's death presenting bim to tho world as a model of vir tue and integrity. Mr Jas. D. Norris, of this city, a pi eminent solicitor of patents, and chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of the Dis trict of Columbia, is om; of Bacon's bondsmen. In this matter it seem that the motive of Mr Norris was professional self seeking rather than partisan devotion. A Dem erath1 chairman coupled with the notorious corruptionist, .lay Hub bell, on the bond of a creature of old Zack ('handler. Ye gods ami little fishes, how we apples do swim. There are indications that much of Bacon's stealing the total amount ls about $82,000 went to Indiana in 1880 to buy the vote of that state for the besmirched Gnr field and throw it against the peoi less, superb Hancock. The defaul ter's bond is only for $10,000 and it is said that if his bondsmen are dis posed to take advantage of techni calities that tho Government can never jecover a (billar. The President in abandoning his proposed visit to St. Louis that the dignity of his great outrageous in sults ot frenzied (i. A lt. men, both wise and proper and his reasons are based upon conclusions sound, patriotic and self-sacrificing; still it seems to me that the President is rather too sensative to uritistms like this. A Thrilling Adventure. From the Harney Hooter. The editor of this paper is again the victim (d' a vile conspiracy; this time on the part of a bloated and arrogant corporation. Thursday night wo were return ing Irom meeting some friends nt tlx; Two Orphans saloon, and bad crossed tho railroad track just be fore the ?I o'clock a. m. freight train came along. We had proceeded about a block before the engine roached tho crossing. When I* came to that, insten i of going (?ii to the depot, as is of course the usu al custom, it suddenly jumped the track ami came after us with a ter rible shriek and an unearthly clanging of the bell. We immediately struck up Pa cific avenue not,of courfie, w ishing toc?me into a hand-to-hand con flict with a locomotive, only glanc ing over our ."boulder long enough to observe that tho headlight was magnified to four times its usual brilliancy and that it was flashing and the engine bounding up ami down along the rough street and making vigorous leaps at us. We suppose the record made coing up that street has never been beat WOSt of tho Missouri river. We tine along without stopping to breathe, but the erigine steadily gained on us and shrieked and snorted with hideous intensity, and it seemed as if it must overtake us every mo ment and crush us under its iron wheels. The headlight, from some unac countable reason, would Hash with dazzling brilliancy and then go out and leave everything in utter dark ness. The sickening shrieking of the whistle, the snort of the escap ing steam, and the crash and roar of the long train of freight cars as they were drngged ulong the street made the very blood run cold in our veins. Suddenly, during one of the terrific flashes, we saw the fireman crawl back and uncouple the cars. Tho engine leaped for ward with new life, and wo In stantly saw we could never reach borne, so dodged Into un alley and crawled under Dice Boswell's liv ery barn. We could plainly hear tho locomotive prowling around till nearly sunrise, hissing and roaring and trying to devise some means for getting ot us. But wo had outwitted lt. Friends rescued us later In tho dav. We denounce tho notion of the. railroad company in thus avowing it? py undropert employes to hunt harmless and private citizens, nu if tliey were wild boasts, in the stroni?ost lorms, and will soe that it is called to account. In this connection we also wish to brand tho cowardly statcmonts made in yesterday's Howler as vile and un prlnotpnled li<"*. Tho account of the allah- published in that con temptible opposition sheet is so ri diculous and obviously false in ev ery particular that wc print it be low entire, that our readers may se?? the uttoi absurdity of what poor, driveling talbot says. Hore it is: "Tho citizens of Harney were awakened at an early hour this morning by the demoniacal cries of an individual who proved to be none other than the editor of our esteemed contemporary, the Hoot er. It seems that he had been in attendance at the oponlng of the Two Orphans saloon, and tho usu al free drinks hud been to much for him. .lust after he had crossed the railrord track a Ate Hy Hew out ot some bushes and came to wards him, ?nd he mistaking it for the headlight of a locomotive, rush ed up the street splitting tho air of night with disgusting howls for mercy. Ile Huntly crawled under a livery barn and was pulled out about noon hy the icgs. How much longer are our poov people tfoinjr to allow this low-lived, drunken body-snatcher to exist?"
