It Is an encouraging sign tu see the interest manifested in various part* of this county in the matter of up-land terraces. In speaking with quite a number of farmers who have made the expriment, they state that most of their torra ees have stood the heaviest floods and their lands show a marked im provement in tiie matter of gullies. The experience proves that at the lowe't estimate, one laslf of the water soaks in the ground, and it ev idently follows from this that there will be less danger of drouth-, and th?? streams will not rise so rapidly and cause damage to low-lands. t'nter raced land, however level, los?? much of the fertilizing matter placed on it, by rain. This swept into the streams, besides impoverish ing the land, lill- tho streams with mud and tra-h. This matter of terracing farm lands is not a new thing, for as a gentlemen remarked a few days ago, it wa- practiced in Eng land over one thousand years ago, and similar to the present mode. The Charleston Sun finds difficul ty in viewing the public records of that city, without a special permit from the powers that he. L'nder such circumstances, it i- time for the liberty-loving Charleston ians to conclude that "something i- rotten in the state ol Denmark." Public officers sometitnegrow wonderfully wise and arrogant. Continued con fidence -omet i ines makes them im agine themselves above reproach, and their acts above criticism. Dross'd in a little brief authority, Most Ignorant of what ba 's most assur'd His glassy essence, like an angry apo, Plays such fantastic tricks before high Ilea v<-n As makes tue angles weep. Whan a citizen or a newspaper is denied access to official documents, lt ls fair to presume all is not well, There is .something significant and refreshing in the plain, honest, straight-forward way candidates are coming forward this time, When a man boldly states that he wants an office, then voters are put on notice to view his qualifications, and bis record, and when this ts done, the correct administration ol public affairs is assured. The don ger is when side issues, which arouse passion and .prejudice are breught forward to blind voten and secure nominations. Log-roll lng and wire-pulling are not i m pos Bible in a Primary Election, but or the contrary, when successful at all na has been clearly demonstrated in our owH county, are entirely sue cessful. The fundamental idea ol the Primary plan is to carry oui the will of the voters. If every tul stands upon its own bottom,-ii candidates make a fair race on theil merit, thc most acceptable men wil be chosen; but, the moment clique.1 and rings begin to draw slates anc dictate preferences, the grounr work af the Primary system fali to the ground. It is an admitted fact that Lau rena County farm lands, while un excelled in quality, are cheapei than those of other counties around us. This is due to the poor rail road facilities we have hithertc had. But it will not always be PO anti prospective settles will find il to their advantage to pay us a call Ostnt We Work Together.

We see no good reason why thb should not bc dene. These coun ties are alike interested in having their resources developed and in at tracting settlers. Laurens can stand with the best, and wo believe our people are public spirited enough to grasp such an opportu nity. The South is a favored land. The railroads offered reduced rates from the North and West, to those who desired to prospects in this section, and in a few days a bliz zard came along and impressed upon the people of the importance of using the liberal offer. m nttmm i.wau m II I I I inn Thc dead King William left an? . estate, valued at seventy-five millions.

A FEARFUL WRECK. i i A Terrible Disaster to the Ves tibio Train Below Savan nali. I I On .Saturday la*t, a heavily loa ded passenger train, bearing tour ists to Florida, plunged through a ; trestle, below Savannah (Ja. Nine teen persons were killed outright; and thirty-five badly wounded, ol whom six have .sine. died. A reporter for the Savannah New- says: The wreck was readi ed, after many delay?., about W . o<doek. It presented a wild and weird scene, over l?O men were working by the light of torches, lanterns and wood fires. The sound- of axe and hatchet were often almost drown hythe piercing shrieks of agonized women on the West bank, who imagined the bo dies of their fri? ads lay In the de bris belo .. . but all the wounded and dead had been removed before the special reached the w reck. The coffins were unloaded, and it w a ll o'clock before they were sent ; over by special train to Waycross. The embankments on either side of i the ravine were steep, and in some places almost precipitous, j Planks and pontoons bridged the : river, ravine and bog, and by the ? flickering light of more than IOU tourello- the coffins were borne I slow ly upon the shoulders of *ix I men from bank \<> bunk. ? The trestle over Hurricane river I is about 800 feet in length, and the ? break includes 400 feet at the west i end, the t utder of the engine lodg ing against the abutment. The baggage car left the track on the trestle, which accounts for the ac cident, the ties showing where the ' truck? cut ?Jeep into them. It was this car that careened the rear curs, and by its strain tlragged the ten der down, tin- engine having safely j crossed over. Had it not been for the presence of mind of Engineer Richard i Welch a mm li more horrible fate ' would have been in -tore foi the I wounded. Hurriedly dispatching j tlie engins with the fireman to ; Blackshear he ran down to the ; wreck, and, with the assistance of I the porter of the Pullman car Min ! erva, extinguished the fire windi i had broken out in tho baggage ear. There will be a critical examina I tion of the trestle. It seems to i have been sound, and it was not j the weight of the train, but the vi j oient wrenching of the derailed , curs, which tore out a section of 400 ' feet. The damage could not he es I timated to-night, but the train, ex j cepting the tender and tht Lehigh car Minerva, will be st total wreck, j Thc two Pullman ears alone cost over $13.000 each. A low estimate ; of the dam ige to the road would be over $75,000, while the L-s o? lifo nnd maimed cannot be com pated by that standard. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Prom our Regular Correspondent Washington, March lb, lss*. Thanks to the republican Obstru ctionists: Mr. Mill's taritr bill has not been reported to tho House. The time is being well put In how ever, by the friends of thc measure in missionary work among the few misguided democratic members, who worship still at the .-brine of protection. It ls now claimed that the number of democrats pledged to support the bill when it gets be fore the House, is only five short of a majority, and it is hoped that enough republicans will vote for it to insure its passage. But not mindi faith eau be at tached to that hope. Republicans seldom vote for a measure that is opposed by their leatlers. no matter what their own opinions may be a political lesson which the demo crats have never yet learned. How ever it may result thc democrats wh.e. believe in keeping the pledges made to the people, propose m ak ingan lione-t effort to redeem those pledges. If they fail the cau-e of their failure w ill be apparent to all. The latest applicant for Blaine's mantle is Senator Hale, of Mal te. He has been a? pointed Chairman of the Senate committee to Inves tigate the alleged violations of the civil service law by the democrats. This is expected to give him a boom. It is more likely lo develop into a boomerang. A rumor was current here this week that Senator Vest, of Mis souri, proposed retiring from pub lie life at the end of his present term. The Senator brands tho ru mor false and says itoriginated with the republicans, who would doubt less be very glad to see Hm retire. Senator voorhes. who ls very fond of a joke, has lots of fun with the republican Senators who are known ns candidates for the Presi dency. One day this week he had a colored cartoon entitled "Just drawing thom on" which he was showing around the Senate Cham ber. It represented a fox lying on the ground, the head being that of Blaine. One eye was closed hut the other was partly Open and wore a very wide-awake expression. A flock of geese, each one wearing the bead of a republican Presiden tial candidate, Sherman in front, was represented as approaching the recNinbent fox. The geese In cluded Hoar, Evarts, Jngalls, His cock, Depew and several other would be candidates. Eveiy body took tho Joke good naturedly, even the gentlemen who were caricatu red. Acting Secretary Thompson, of the Treasury Department, one of the best and most competent offic ials ever appointed by Mr. Cleve land, has written a letter to the Secretary of State, in reply to a communication from Hon. Ira venport in regard lo an alleged lack of reciprocity between the United State-? and Canada in the importation of nurser/ products, such as plan ts, shrubs etc.. In which he says that the matter is governed entirely by the laws of the respec tive countries, mir laws admitting those articles free, while the Cana t lan tarin* requires a duty of twen dy per cent atl ratorem on such ar ticles. These being the fact- he does not ?ee how the Treasury De partment can take any action to rectify the injustice complained of by Mr. Davenport. Senator Colqultt's ?peech made early this week wa-strongly in fa \or ol revenue reform as outlined in tho President's message. He r aid it i- lime now for the distinct assertion ot democratic principles, the hearty maintenance of them and the redemption of democratic pledges. The reign of the opposing principles bad boen lom? enough, and had already gone far towards converting the country into a plu tocracy. Tiie high tariff policy had alway* boon that of the Tory par ty in politic-, ?he friend of class legislation and principle. Secretary Fairchild, in answer to a re quest for his opinion on Sena tor Sherman'- bill for the invest* ment of the funds for the redemp tion of national bank notes, has written a long letter on the subject to the Senate finance committee. In disapproving of the measure he l>oints out the bad results that would probably follow it- adoption. He say>; "the alternate expansion and contraction resulting from thi bill. would in my judgement only promote speculation ; not healthful business." The Secretary hits the nail sq uar ly Ott the head. Any fi nancial measure proposed by John Sherman i's -ure to bc in tho inter ests of his friend-, the Wall street speculators. Washington is to have two nota ble fathering- of women soon. < In the 25th. inst the Woman'- Inter national Council will begin an eight day- session commemorative of the fortieth anniversary of the won.an suffrage movement. On this occa sion distinguished women from for eign countries willbe in attendance, Tlu n. on April 3d tile annual Wo men Suffrage Convention will be held. NOTICE. TO TEACHERS.
