Cash, of Cash's Depot,! died at his home on Tuesday of this week. We have received from President A. C. K tufman a pamphlet copy of the Vanderbilt Benevolent Association, par iug a beautiful tribute to the late Ex Geo. Wm. Aikim, for which we return our thanks. It would be a good idea if our town authorities would enforce the law against shooting on the street and in other peo ples' lots and yards. It has become al most a nuisance, and besides it is dan gerous. Every negro urchin who has nothing else to do, and can raiie money enough to hire a gun for a day, is oa: . shooting, and many of them care very little where or how they shoot. Greenville is to have a gala week the coniing summer, aad an encampment by the military and the annual meeting of the State Press Association. This is a great deal to crowd into one week, but we have no doubt Greenville will be equal to the occasion. The President and Mrs. Cleveland did not give Charleston the go-bye, but they actually stopped over last Saturday and spent some time in the "City by the Sea" and were given a royal reception. Charleston is a grand old city, and knows right well how to entertain. Mr. Cleveland is strong with Charleston now. It would have been political death to him in Charleston if he had not stopped, but it is all well now. The National Democratic Convention will be held in St. Louis on the 5th of June. This will neces tate a State Con vention some time during May in order to elect delegates to this Convention, and will most likely necessitate the hold ing of two State Convenitions, as May is rather early to nominate a State ticket, whether it is intended to renominate the present ofiicials or not. The national Demoeratic committee, it would seemi, favor the opening of the campaign rath er early. The most lively and interesting part. of the election with us will be in our county primarier-. We do not think it wise to make tue nomination of a State ticket too early in the year. it will give more or less dis satisfaction. Congressman Tillman, of South Caro lina, is reported as having the following dvice to give those who have claims against the general government for property destroyed during the war or - seized after the war, and also in regard to the ref unding of the direct tax. Mr. Tillman may be right. We are rather inclined to think he is. "Tell the man who is offered one cent on the dollar for claims for property al leged to have been destroyed in the war, toi accept th~e offer of the fool who inakes it, instanter. It is more than he will get from the government. Tell the man wh6 has claims for property seized after the war, and who is offered by a speculator 25 per cent., to close at once with the bargain. He will never have so good a chance again. But the direet tax will be paid, because four-tifths of it goes to the north. I will vote for it, as S outh Carolina is interested, and gets some of the money. Other claims of the south will never be paid, because all the money must go to the south." We learn from the Columbia Regiater that the Three C's railroad will soon be open for traveling from Lancaster to *- Camden, and thence to Charleston. We have learned very little of thi% end of this great railroad lately. - We would be very glad indeed if sonme one who knows would give us some information . bout this matter. We are sorry Col. Mitchell did' not go ahead and build his narrow gauge from *here to Augusta, instead of turning us over, and making our road a part of.this big corporation. We believe he could have had trains running between New berry and Augusta by this time. We saw one of his narrow-gauge trains when in August a recently, and it is a right good looking affair. It would be a great deal better to have such a railroad than to have none at all. We heard months ago that the Trhree O's Company had deposited money in bank in Augusta to pay the debt of the old dompany, and that work would be commenced soon, and that is the last we have heard of our end of this great rail road. W ill somie body tell us how matters are progressing on our end of the Three C's railroad. - We are more and more convinced every day that the working days in most of our cotton mills are entirely too long. Take the Newberry'Cotton Mill. The working day b.-gins at 6 o'clock in the morning and continues until'7 o'clock in the evening, with only about halt an hour for dinner, making a working (lay of 12& hours. Most of the year this is working from before day light until af ter dark. We are opposed to strikes and opposed to arraying capital, against la bor or labor against capital, and we do not intend anything of that kind now, but this long confinement is wrong. It 1 is wrong in principle and it is wrong in policy. Under this system the operatives have nao time for recreation or improve ment, or even for a breath of pure fresh air, or a ray of warm sunshine. They I arrundit eto ahns si wre turne int be eato tahies asix ande sto at e. reay be nectarty 1i antopr tia sevnod Itmat e cesar I wners may be able to make a profit, ut is is wrong, d an injury to those rho work, we had almost said it was in iuman to require them to work under uch a system. A large portion of them, oo, are children, who grow up under his system to be physical and mental rrecks. Is it not possible to run a mill profit-' >ly by working ten hours a day? and bus allow those who labor in cotton bills a little time for the cultivation of :h >e qualities and traits which make ife worth the living? This matter is worth while the serious consideration of ;hose who have the control of our cotton actories. In our opinion, it would have been wisdom on the part of the Legislature to iave passed that bill, introduced several rears ago, intending to limit the age at which children should be permitted to work in cotton factories. FOR SOLICITOR. The candidates for Solicitor in the rarious circuits are beginning to loom ip in abundance. In our circuit, since t is known that Solicitor Duncan is out >f the race, there are quite a number. Mr. David Johnson, Jr., of Union, Mr. Hugh Farley, of Spartanburg, Col. R. . ttts, of Laurens, and Col. 0. L. 5chumpert, of Newberry, are mentioned. We have little doubt that all these gen :lemen named are competent and would ill the office with credit. The HERALD UND NEws thinks it is about time for ewberry to have recognition. Col. Schumpert is the equal of any law yer in the circuit. An able lawyer, tn eloquent advocate, a polished gentle nan, he would be a worthy successor of Maj. Duncan. He has always been an indefatigable worker and an uncompro mising democrat, and in him we have L candidate for the important and re sponsible posit ion whom we can com mnend as the peer of anylawyer in the state and one who would fill the position with honor to himself and credit to the State. THE NEWSPAPER AND CRIME. Our esteemed cotemporary, the Chris !ian N2ezglbor, seems to think that our statement that the world is growing bet ter instead of worse,was rather an argu nent again.t our po=ition. It may have so appeared, but we think differently. There can be little doubt that the news papers of to-day give entirely too much encouragement and space to the cultiva tion of the taste for crimes and sensation al reading, and therebyhelp to make the demand for such matter greater. Mr. Elliott, a New York journalist, writing for the March number of the Forum, shows the relative importance of the different kinds of news as put upon it by the great dailies of the country, and the result of his investigation was that the ratio of religious news to the total reading matter was three and onie half per cent. The trouble is that even religious peo ple do not seem to care for religious news as much as they do for a recital, even to minor details, of crimes, mur ders, boat recing, the theatricals, base ball and such like, and the newspapers try to supply this demand because they find such effort to be more beneficial and profitable pecuniarily. Mr. Elliott in speaking further of this matter says: "How comes it that base-ball and horse-racing news is reportedl with great care and fullness, while the leading re ligious events are either ignored alto get her or imlifterently reported ? Is it not because newspaper editors have learned that persons who belong to the theatrical or the sporting or the mercan tile public buy their papers secording as they find in them full, prompt, and sym pathetic treatment of theatrical, sport ing, and market newvs; whereas religious people, as such, do not discriminate in their patronage of newspapers with a corresponding exactness? In other words, do religious peole feel as keen an interest in religious news as the base ball pubic fee.ls in base-ball news, or as the horse-racing public feels in the news of a horse-race ? Do religious people to any conside'rable degree, choose one pa per rather than another because one pa per gives more prominence to religious news than another. or treats it with a more s3 mpathetic apprehension ? You can go up one bench and down another at a base-ball game. and' every man in the crowd will tell you what papers of the next morning will have a fnll and glowing account of the match then in progress, and which will dismiss it in a few cold lines, and very many of them will make their purchase of a paper on the following morning on that basis of choice. Now apply that mode of reason ing to religions people. Out of an audi ence assembled in a city for some nota ble religious occasion. how many will be able to predict the relative prominence that will be given to that meeting by the newspapers? And how many will go to the newsi,aoer stand the following day and buy a paper. confident, without ooking it through, that it gives a good account of the event ? In short, it is niot., after all, a question of supply and de And thus it is that many goo 1 deds many noble ones, go ,un noticed by the press. Even many who claim to be re ligious do not give that support and en couragement-do not show that appre ciat'on of--the religious newspaper they should. And then iudging from the re ital of crime of all shades as mirrored in the great newspapers of the day one might conclude the world was growing worse. But we still believe, despite all this, that the world is growing better. We would like to see this appetite f.mr sensa tional matter, and the recital of crime grow weaker, but thme matter is in the bands of the religious people and they yan control it, but as long as they crave :his kind of matter in the secular press, md count a newspaper's energy and mterprise itn proportion to the idacrity vith which it gathers such news, this lemnand will continue to be supplied and ed by the secular press, for it would nean obscurity and death to any paper hat did not furnish it, even to minute letails. There is room for reform in this mat er on the part of the newspapers, in reating a taste for a different kind of nat ter. The cases against the Me:srs.

The Newberry Herald and N thinks the world is growing hetter, that the Milleniun may be a long v off. It says : "We do not agree with that opin which says the world is growing wom Crimes innumerable, no doubt, th are, and of every description. '] press is filled with their recital. ' trouble is that there is an appetite, just such news, and the press is try to supply the demand. The crime published and many good deeds go noticed. The facilities for distribut new# are greater than ever before the history of the world. We rn believe the world is growing bet1 The millennium may be a long way however." The increased facilities for distribut news does not prove that the worl growing either better or worse. faculties are simply an instrumenta or power which in itself is neither g nor bad, but prolnees or increases g or evil-helps or hairms the worn according as it is controlled by wisd or folly. What the Herald and Kews says support of its opinion appears to u going to prove the contrary. 1. Crimes innumerable and of ev description abound. 2. The press is tilled With their cital. 3. An appetite for just such a prevails. 4. The press is trying to supply demand of that appetite. Would respectfully ask : Does the supply intcrease 'the demnand? not by far the majority of the pre: engaged in catering to that morbid petite ; if not so, are they not neut doing as much to make the world w( as they do to make it better? Further: Why do "miany good de go unnoticed"? ]s it not that ther les demand for that sort of reading: less pecuniary proft in such publishi and consequently fewer presses empi ed to meet the demand ? It seemis to us that if the argn met tion of the Herald awd News show t the world is getting better then in tr it may be said not only t: at "the mil num may be a long way oft" but th; will get farther and farther off.

E THE COTTON SEED INTERESTS. ke Protest from the South Againsts the Pro- I posed Lard Tax. The following petition. signed by a -e- large number of citizens of Louisana, of and presented in the Senate by Senator he Gibson, is a spe-elmen of many that are he pouring in daily against the Dawers bill ly, to tax lard in which cotton seed oil is v ir. used: ill To the Congress of the United States : lie We respectfully protest against the pas- a ke sage of the S-nate bill (No 650) intro- t ,ut duced by Senator Dawes, of Massach- r us usetts, to suppress cotton seed oil in its t ir- use as a sub-1itute for hog lard. b re Such a bill i. class legislation of the t 1e moSt vicious k nd, and its effect will he h in to di;criminate iijutly in favor of the h ad producers of. hog lard against the pro ot dueers of cut ton seed oil and aim a dead- p qe. Ilv blow at one of the largest and most ali valuable industries of the South. rv i That this bill can have no other end in t or view is plain. The public need no pro- t )el tection against cotton seed oil, as it is a sh perfectly pure vegetable oil.in the man to ufacture of which nothing is used that se. can possibly affect ito quality or whole somnesies, so that under no circumstan ces can it be injurious to those who use ,it. ] of ' The same cannot be said of lard and 1 lard oil, as the purity and wholesome ness of these products are dependent et upon the health and condition of the :.i hoir, and the portion of the body from -ch which the lard is extracted. So it is perfectly apparent that the public at ni- large have no interest in this bill. he The extensive use of cotton seed oil by v. the olive oil manufacturers of Europe is- vouches for it= purity and exellent qual he ity. Immense quantities of cotton seed t, oil are yearly shipped to -Italy and .h- France, there used by the manufacturer on and returned to this country as olive oil, ite of such excellent quality as to afford on general satisfaction. )mit The manufacture of cotton seed oil ich has assumed large proportions in the at- South. Mlillions of dollars are invested, io- and thousands of persona employed who .de will be seriously affected by any unjust tn- discrimination. red The closing of many mills must inevi tably follow the passage of such a law and the cotton planters who can now obtain a ready market and good prices for their cotton seed, the sugar plauters who are furnished with a rich and re markably effective and cheap fertilizer. es, the laborer, particularly the colored but labor employed upon the platations and ray directly in the handling of cotton seed and the manufacture of .oil and other ion cotton seed products. will all be serious -e. ly and directly injured by the passage rre of this bill, which can be productive of 'he no good except to a rival industry, while he the harm it will do and may do is incal for culable. ing We respectfully urge that no law of 1- this character should ever be passed, an- unless to remedy some crying ahnse, ing and then only to apply a remedy which in experience has demonstrated to be safe ust and proper and the results of which can er. be clearly foreseen. off, NewK from 'Washington. ing Special to Netes and Courier. .it WASHINGTON, February 27.-TheHouse )od committee on education does not appear >od inclined to act promptly on the Blair ed 1 ucational bill, which was referred to it om over two weeks ago. Among some of the members of the House the opinion pre - vails that the Simmons bill, to loan the asStates $65,000,000 for educational pur poses, will be substituted by the com mittee for the Blair bill. Such a propo ry sition is hardly acceptable to the real r-friends of the original bill and they real r-ize that such a movement would ulti wsmately defeat the measure. On the other t hand'it is alleged that a majority of the teeducational committee, as well as Speaker t eCarlisle, are opposed to the Blair bill and it stands but a poor chance of receiving tconsideration by the House, unless its s frend reortto strategy. ap.

South lity Carolina is credited with-7 general offi did cers, 78 general staff officers, 48 regimen life tal and field staff officers, 319 company uuti officers, 664 non-commissioned and 3,341l privates, aggregating 4,457.

In the February report of the commis vo- sioner of agriculture considerable atten 'le tion is devoted to the subject of farm s a animals in the various States. The State mdi agent in South Carolina reports that live e btock are in a normal condition, and there icil is a marked improvement in their care -is and keep. The season has been mild and no. disease is reported of an epidemic character. In North Carolina stock-rais ing is beginning to attract the attention of progressive farmers, and the result has been the ipraon of some fine stock, which have furnished blooded breeders to a number of counties adapted to the in dustry. The cattle, horses and mules are better fed and housed than formerly. In re Georgia there is a tendency to increased ief care in the breeding and general care of Istock of all kinds. A number of coun ties report quite an interest developed in ~the breeding of horses and mules. There ris an advance in the values of these ani rlmals per head, which would be greater ern were it not for the introduction of an in ~x creasing number of inferior Texas ponies, .' which has the effect of rating them low in nmre the scale of prices. Owing to the effect tug of the adoption of what is known as the s f local option stock law, there has been an eel absolute reduction of the number of cat 0tle, but complementary to tis result the 000 value has been increased, tie A Disgrace to Civilization. -NEW YORK, February 25.-A n Amer h- ican ge'ntleman travelling in Cuba writes ~from Havana under date of Februiary 16 as follows: r.
