Those who think so, think lore an ond. You must doal i as you lind thorn, if you mean v legislation be regarded. If ?^straints upon men that you <ic sentiment is uot educated n you aro doing a foolish i tell the plain people of this jr any other State that there shall bo "no more cakos and alo" is to do an immoral thing, because it tompts themto resist tho injunction. In Ger many, Franco, Italy and Spain and in other parts of tho world fifty millions of poor pooplo subsist on tho cultivation of the grape and its juices. As many more in Europe and America largely cultivate tho coroals for brown stout ind boers. They and their sons and laughters aro scattering over tho trth and claim tho privilege of grat .hig their tastos and doullng and t'dlpg in theso industrious callings, mail a">?mortopory., bo sot up by tho State anyl thoso people" flbltf that they cannot e?iow, smoko or drink, unloss tho article of consumption is dealt out by a rn tn soleoted and at a price fixed which they must pay or go without? It)non tblo and proper restraints can only safely bo put upon the appetites and tastes of men. It is weak, foolish and sinful to enact a law that invites resistance. * * * Governor Tilln\%n furnishes for pub lication a letter from Lexington which ho says was written by one of he best citizons in that county. It n forms him that a murder has been ?ommlttcd and begs tho Governor to ook into tho matter. This is a protty pass wo have come " when tho people of a neighborhood * fo hunt down a murder, The Gov ernor can do but little in such a caso. Wo thought the Stato was to bo re formed. * * * In a Congressional election up in tho Keystono State the Republicans won by .v majority of one hundred and sovon live thousand. When tho Demo crats tackle them next they should vomomber tho Davy Crockett and Raccoon incident: Coon?(on a lofty limb) Who is that? Davy?(with his rifio in hand.) Davy Crockott. Coon?You need not shoot, I'll come down. * * # Tho chamoleon, the all-thc-rage lit "tle varmint of tho day, was for some time thought a myth. Postmaster Mowry at Charleston got his appoint ment under Cleveland, held somehow tho four years of Harrison and holds tho fort under Cleveland for tho onsu ing four years. Whoroforo-. * * * Tho Columbia Stato is three years old. Its record is its monument; a very noblo work, doughtily and bravely dono; fit exponent of the splendid ele inont it speaks day by day for. Oh, the pity they do not more generously support their friend! * * -? Robort M. Stokos, Esq., of tho Union Timos, tho Nestor of tho Press in South Carolina, rosigns the gray goose quill. He has boon faithful and true and ?oarned a right to rest. May peace and plenty and "troops of friends" wait upon him to cheer a "frosty but kindly" old ago. ? * * # If tho peoplo of Charleston do their duty thoy will have a worthy succossor to Brawloy. Izlar has three qualifica tions: ho is honest; ho is capable; ho is a domoorat. * Tho "hub" of tho world is in danger. Two thousand of tho unemployed in vaded the Stato Houso in Boston ter rifying tho Governor and tho Legisla ture. President Clovoland has appointod John P. Hpntor, of Lancaster, District Marshal of South Carolina. It is a plum full of moat and "moot it is." ? # * It is now said that Governor Tillman Is shlnnying on tho Ellerbo sido of tho fence and that an April convention will bo held to "suggest" a Govornor. * * * The Supremo Court sustuins Judgo Izlar's ruling that a Trial Justice can not sentence to the chain gang. * * ? A fine elephant became unruly down in Florida and had to bo killed. Tho supply Is ample In South Carolina. ? # ? A quorum of Democrats is hard to hold in tho National House of Repre sentatives. Too much Blandiloquonce. ? * # '"<> win, poso as a Democrat; play tho ?agoguc. down to a mighty fine ADoiber Onslaught for tbe Cotton Mill.1 OP INTEREST TO TRIAL JUSTICES. Ttllman 'MWplngr Dark." a Convention -Gn-nt Time For Fun Thar. Butler Has Put in a Good Stroke. The R. .&, D. in Need of a Stirring up ami Laurons Should Give It. I .aureus Candidates are Early Birds But Not The Earliest. Columbia, Fob. 24. Resuming again tho cotton (mill) thread of my narrative, I assure tho Advertiser that would if ablo sond by express a box of gold dollars packed in greenbacks for tho purpose of build ing a factory in Laurons but it is really out of tho question at this writing. Nor would Laurons bo under any obli ations to mo for tho ploasuee would o all mine. Parenthetically, It is just as well to roinind my roadcrs that as a matter of paramount and urgent ne cessity tho mill must bo built or tho town must languish. # * * Tho Supremo Court has this week docidod that a trial justice's jury of six is legal and that twolvo as claimed by some lawyers aro not requlrod. In tho same ease, Stato against Sam Wil liams, tho sentencing of persons con victed in municipal and trial justice courts to labor in addition to line or imprisonment was declarod unconsti tutional. Therefore town chaingangs must go out of fashion again. # * * It is very difficult to toll anything about the political situation because Capt. Bon Tlllman, onco a farmer and now an oflico-sookor by profoselon, is holding his jaw more discrootly than usual. I think that tho Reformers (so called for buncombe) will havo a con vention of some kind soon. There is a great deal of cheap fun to bo had at conventions. Every dologato rogards himsolf a modern Earl of Warwick and occasionally tickles the jaw of a blind tiger. Conventions are always as morry as the night Is long and I fancy that the Reformers will indulgo in ono of course. n Tho Conservatives aro keeping their heads vory cool and llstoning with amusement to the raging and boiling abuse which the pure and righteous Hemphtll of tho Medium and Gantt of the Rodlight and all that spo cios of animalcules are pouring out. Tho Conservatives aro oxtromcly happy and for thorn "tho goose hangs high."' Undoubtedly Senator Butler is loom ing up ans a powerful candidate for re election. The appointment of Hunter of Lancaster as U. S. Marshal has greatly strengthened him. The indications aro that Senator Butler is less popular with tho Con servatives than with the Reformers. ? * * Is there no complaint at the schedule on tho Newborry and Laurons railroad or at the want of a schedule? Is every body satisfied to lose half a day at Newborry when returning from a point further South? Tho Richmond and Danville people perhaps find it convenient to continue the present arrangement and doubtless unless there is remonstrance there will bo no change. But thcro is a State railroad commission. What is it for unless to help Laurons out of a hole? What I should like to see Is a re newal of the arrangement by which theLaurens train rau through to Co lumbia in tho morning and returned late in tho afternoon or night. I hope tho Mayor of Laurons or some one else in authority will give this ur gent matter a few moments of their valuable attention. # * * Laurens is not tho first county to havo a candidate announced this year. One announcement occured in a county paper several weeks ago. * Mr. Thomas C. Leako, of Clinton, was hero this weck. W. W. B. The l>i??pen*<ary Law. Tho question of its constitutionality is fairly boforo tho Supremo Court. In the press impatience is expressed at the decision not bolng promptly filed and declared. Tho Court will take its own time; it has a hundred cases to de cide. It is an important question and there should be no hasto in the matter*. Make hasto slowly is a wise maxim al though delays arc dangerous. The Advertising Of Hood's Sarsaparilla is always with in tho bounds of rotison because It Is truo, it always appeals to tho sober, common sense of thinking people be cause it Is true; and It is always fully substantiated by endorsements which in tho financial world would bo ac cepted without a moment's hesitation. Hood's Pills euro liver ills, constipa tion, biliousness, jaundice, sick head ache, indigestion. Much has been said and written of tho persecution of Jews by the Russian government and people, but little has been known in America of the reasons for this crusade. Inanarticlo on "Tho Russian and his Jew," in tho March Harper's Magazine, Mr. Poultnoy Bigc low discusses tho case from tho Russian standpoint. Five illustrations by Fred eric Remington dopict some of the typos of Hebrews who havo aroused tho onmlty of tho Slav by subjecting tho unthrifty peasant completely to the power which the unscrupulous creditor lias over the Ignorant and friendless debtor. gjB- TYPEWRITERS, gm~ MIMEOGRAPHS, fBtf PHONOGRAPHS, BICYCLES, g0f SUNDRIES.
