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

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

Woman Should Educate our Ap
petite.
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?"
