S. 0., April 10. 1895. The Income Tax. The decision of theSuprome Court of the United States upon the income tax is disappointing, and it is not. There Khadphilosophy in cherishing great expectations; it is sound philosophy to be prepared for the worst, and ready to accept what comes with an easy grace. It has been called the ''nil ad mirari" school and while not consoling in theory, it works out all right in practice. While an income tax has not satisfied The Advertiser, as founded on good democratic doetrino, good sound democracy has grown so much out of fashion, wo wero prepared to accept the Income Tax law, as an ef fort at equity and justice in the tooth of principle. But tho supreme court has haggled it in a way that the very gist and virtuo of tho law aro butcher ed. The rich bondholders and great landlords osoapo through tho moshes and the important enterprises and in dustries are hold fast and must pay tho piper. It is disappointing in this that tho law aimed at equity and justice. It is not disappointing in this; the vordiot of a petit jury is proverbially uncer tain; it is getting now that tho verdict of a supremo court is a sort of lottery business and nothing but Divino wis dom can anticipate its judgment. Whon the Court comes, however, to pass upon the enactments of a mongrel ring streaked-and-stripod Congress, such as that, .which on tho 4th March last passed into history, no man in his senses, will quarrel with its delphic decrees. So, THE ADVERTISER, and its many renders, will not bo disappointed; intend to keop cool; wait with pa tience; scratch along as best wo may -nkndH^pe^rr a good time ^ojnijig, One Hallowell, of Boston, with an invalid family, was 3pending tho win ter at Camden in this State. Camdcn is a health resort for our Invalid friends, of tho North seeking a milder climate in mid-winter. Hallowell took a commendable interest in the colored people, to which there could be no ob jection, but ho was a fool at tho same timo it is said discussod with them thomattorof social equality with the whites, thoir wagos and othor rela tions to their white noighbora. Whero upon a groat fool, an olaphantino fool, a prehistoric, mastadon phoolo, wrote him an anonymous letter warning him of thirty-nine stripes on his bare back. Whereupon Hallowell, takos fright and leaves with bag and baggago and fleos into Boston, writing a great letter to a northern newspaper, of tho barbarous > South, and warning capitalists of the danger of investing in our State. It is simply a case of moro than one fool and with the addition of tho Yankoo being an arrant knave to boot. There was a timo in tho reeont past when tho South could not in safety to ber homes afford to bo tolerant of en tire liberty of speech, but the danger point has been -passed and any man can say his say unless his language is in cendiary. It is in order for Camden to locate her own fool and warn him. # * a General Hemphill, of tho Abbevillo Medium, who is as full of the milk of human kindness as an egg of moat, concerns himself to explain tho signi ficance of Senator Tillman's Tillman Barnwell-Cal Homphill symposium ? The Senator and ox-Govornor is a mas ter of linguistic fonco and brother Hemphill and lesser satellites aro en gaged in a work of supererogation. It ought to bo left totheEdgofiold states man to explain tweedledom and twoe ?? dledoe. It is not the office of barnacles to talk; they should bo left to feed and latten on tho big, f?tjsvblo bodiod cor pus. Leave to tho Senator to explain himself. His right hand will loao its cunning before his tongue loses its apt utterance and light from the West and home inspiration will supply his , ordinary vocabulary with aristocrat, plutocrat, and like ouphonistic torms. Autocrat is the last term tho common place demogoguo learns tho signifi cance of. Leave the statosman to inter pret' what he is up to and "where ho is at." A reverend Mr. Lansing, speaking upon temperance, in an eastern State, deolares President Clovoland a drunk ard. As the man was supposed, from his calling, to have character, Mr. Oleaveland promptly gavo tho lio to the utterance. Whereupon Mr. Lan sing apologises and says that ho spoke from hearsay. The essence of a lie lies in speaking that which you do not your self know. Lansing may osoapo ropro ?n upon the proposition : "I said k haste that all mon aro liars, ?md you might havo said it at ?teure." Weather Crop Bulletin No. 9, of tho South Carolina Weather Service, April 8th, J. W. Bauor, Director, has reached us. It shows that tho crops, cotton and corn, in tho eastern and southorn parts of the State are progressing finely, while planting is fairly under way in the northern and western parts. Oats sown in the Spring aro promising, while Fall sown oats wero largely killed by the cold. A groat crop of potatoes, Irish and swoot, aro being plan tod.? The fruit prospeot is promising in all parts of tho State. ? * * Judge Earle proslding at the Rich land Sessions awarded a new trial to Aughtry who was convicted by an in telligent jury of tho crimo of murder. In giving his reasons for granting a new trial His Honor stated substan tially that he was not satisfied boyond a reasonable doubt of the ? guilt of tho prisoner. It would scorn thorefore that Aughtry was lucky in his trial?having two juries to try tho facts in his case. We are commenting on His Honor's >ning, not his conclusion. There are many puzzling questions in this world to annoy a conscientious person. They arise upon morals, relig ious problems, goverraental problems, politics. Another source of annoyance is the necessity of overy man at last making up a choice of conduct. Until that Is done, there can be no shadow of peace; thore is a state of revolution going on in every man's bosom and a revolution constantly upheaving a man is as bad as anarchy in the social State. In this State wo lind all this troublo growing out of tho convention predic ament and tho problem of tho suffrage, which it Is called beforehand to settle. It can do no good to cavil over its wis dom now, as the thing is done. Cry ing over spilt milkcan do no good and don't mond matters. But as the suf frage question still prosents itself, ev ery issue of tbo groat press of the Stato brings a plan of solution more or less wise, Ingonious practical or statesman like. Gon. McCrady, of Charleston, among tho rest, publishes a lettor, dis cussing the whole situation with his usual olaboratoness and fullness. It will bo remombored that ho brought forward tho eight box law in tho nick of tlmo which Is the oloctlon plan now of force. It has borved its purpose, and a systom like unto the Australian plan, ho now Inclines to. This is tho Advkrtisbr's spec'tic, urged persist ently since this papor passod into its pre-cut proprietorship. It is a com plete factor to put tho doctoral power under control of intelligence. Its adoption wo still bellovo will meet the omorgoncy In this Stato, and give us peace. It may bo adoptod by tho Con vention; its adoption does not bar a property qualification; *ioy may work together; it is tho be rotation yet suggested. There is m (hing now in it; in fact, it is but a reproduction of tho prinoiplo Involved in tho eight box plan, and that plan is only an enlarge ment of tho plan in voguo in South Carolina as it stood in 18(>S when the Carpotbaggor came. However, the supreme vlrtuo of the Australian sys tom is its absolute secreoy; and tho os senco of secrecy is its getting rid of tho disgraceful bossism which debauch es tho citizenship of the country, and particularyly of this State, in the past. As suggested in tho beginning of this article, there Is something agreeable In bossism, in having a master, somo ono else to do your thinking and settle all nice and voxing problems; tho citi zen is enabled to refer his conscience to somo keeper who don't mind the trouble ; somo boss who will discharge tho office and leave you to a lazy, lan guid life of easo and irresponsibility. A loud-mouthed, bullying boss is tho follow who Is wanted. But tho citizen is degraded below the lowost depths of degradation. It is tho highest con vonlonce to be ablo to say: '(Go to the Boss ; He keeps my conscience and manhood." * * ? Mr. J. T. Durst, of Groonwood, is one of a committee of tho Third Con gressional District appointed by Gov. Evans to get up an oxhibit for this Stato and raise funds to pay for the State's exhibit. Tho Groonwood Jour nal roports that tho committee recom mend that the Governor lond $10,000.00 out of tho contingent fund for this pur pose. But this contingent fund is the money of the people and tho people failed to providoa cent for this exhibit. His Excollency failod to recommend an appropriation. There, thore, there, now! It scorns that tho Japs aro about to let up on tho Chinese and peace will reign. About two hundred millions, witn somo littlo land aequistions make with bomo things eusy. This is a piti fully insignificant sum in tho eyos of an occidontal. Tho Japs certainly fought upon the point of honor and the glory of tho thing. WHY SUFFER WITH Sl, ?

Untofd Agonies Every Limb Ached With Muscu lar Rheumatism A Perfect Cure by hood's Saraa * parllla. The oauso of rheumatism is lactic acid in tho blood, which accumulates in the joints, and gives the victim such dreadful pains and nehes. Hood's Snr saparilla neutralizes tho acid, purifies the blood and thus cures rheumatism. "Five years ago I had my first attack of lumbago or. muscular rheumatism. I was in bed two weeks. I had a good physician but he did not do me any good. A friend recom mended Hood's Sarsaparilla and I Bent for a bot tle. At that time I ached in every limb, especially In my back and hip. I folt as though I had a fover and for a few hours at Abbeviiio, 8. c. night it was im possible to sleep. I suffered untold agonies. Constipation was not the least of my troubles. I commenced to take Hood's SarHaparilla and felt a decided change in three days. I was able to get out of bed Hood's s?> Cures and sit at tho firo in courso of a week.

The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most Noted Physicians of the Country. Read what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say for 11 arris Lithia Water. "I had long been affected with kidney troubles. I had tried all the mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. I had tried the Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again. "When I went to Harris Lithia Springs, I had to be assisted out of my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about as good as anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly and effectively. This water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I think every person who has tried it will agree with me in the belief that it is the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suffering hu manity, I would like very much to see it given a trial. C A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C. Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C. ?SI1BV1LLB, N. C, September, 9, 1893. Mr, J. T. Harris: We have been selling the Harris Lithia 'Vitcr for some time, and find it a ready seller; those who have tried it a *.ud in its praise. The doctors here regard it superior to cither the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. We predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become more generally known. Yours very truly, RAYSOR & SMITH, Prescription Druggist. Prosperity, S. C. Feb. 38, 1894. Mr. J. T.Harris: I have been under the treatment of several physicians, and been to different watering places during the last ten years for kidney disease. It affords me pleasure to say that I have received more benefit from the use of Han is Lithia Water than all remedies combined. Respectfully, G. D. BROWN.
