Anything strange in this? THE CO-OPERATIVE COLONIST Published at Port Royal is among our exchanges. It enters boldly, and confi dently upon a scheme, which has many praiseworthy feautures,' Jmt which must ] be cautiously treated, or it may fall into the very evil, it aims to resist. The ob ject in view is practical economy, and to subserve the cuds desired by eo-opern tion that might work to the pecuniary benefit, and be confined solely to persons embraced in (ho purview of any associa tion, is. questionable; because counter schemes will be sprung by other associa tions for their special benefit, all of which will have a selfish tendency, and what may be gained at one point, will be lost at another. That Co operation is almost forced npon the South, and West, is an obvious conclusion. Money at the great financial centres is worth on good securi ty seven per cent. Itcosts at least 38 per cent for the Southern farmer to move bis crop. The "Western farmer fares bet ter. The interest on advancements is 18 per cent, and the profit on the goods he buys 20 per cent. If the Southern far mer had his "Grange Bank" he could gefhi.s crop to market for at least 20 per cent*! If under the present system of agriculture a farmer cannot get money as favorably as a merchant; ho must not be blamed if he combines for self defense. There is hut one danger ahead; let him defeat if he can the combination against hi;; inter*My., hut by prudential conduct save his grange or association of co-oper ative defeusp, from becoming in turn a combined aggressor. Another experi ment !b to be tested by Co-operative nsso emtinns, viz: that of ei lerihg th< mrket <*, i iif i , .',*..?. ? as .-act cssfuih as a couuniision broker or 'UtD ftttai ?&n l iJi s agent can, whose, knowledge of business in his particular lino cn:i!d- - hit? ?u offer advantages. On the one hand an agent is sent out to operate for his association, *and ho is necessarily upon expense, and is a comparative stranger to the localities and advantages of a proper market. On the other are skilled Ibuyprs, # trained to watch tho various' markets, and improvo every advantage.' It will bo impractica ble for any co-operative .society, to do its farming, its merchandizing, and its banking entirely within itself, but we believe it can correct many existing abuses agaiust the interests of tlie agri cultuialiat. LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERTC?. How to Increase Home Capital. In our advertising columns will be found an offer by the "South Carolina Department" of "The LifeAssociation of America," to loan money on real es tate. The charter of this company pre vides that all fho reserves belonging to a department shall bo invested and kept invested iu such department. This in stitution, therefore, offers to our citizens, not only the amplest protection (its assets are nearly $5,000,000) but in addition a "Homo Company'-' to help build up our waste places. The immense amount of money now seeking this mode of invest ment suggests the importance of this' feature of the company's plan of doing business. Tho New York Herald not long since, in speaking of "the many millions of dollars, paid in annually from all parts of the United States to the New York Insurance Companies," says, "This in flux of wealth is one of the most impor tant sources of tho financial prosperity and commanding position of New York." To the extent tho Lifo Association is patronized by our people, will they be reciprocally benefittcd iu the manner indicated, and when they begin to learn to patronize sound Southern institu tions that are managed by the very best I business men of our own State, instead of sending, their money North to bo invested by men of whom they know nothing, except by hearsay, then, und,not till then, will our State begin to assume itd former prosperity. Over sixty gentlemen, President's of the best New York Life Insurance Com panies last year sent in the most urgent petition to the New York Legislature, urging them to rescind the law compel ling them "to invest their whole assets in the city of New York and a radius of fifty miles around its metropolis," stating among other cogent reasons "that If was unfair to drain one sectiou to enrich an other, that some of their best customers woro from the South and West, who con tributed annually millions of dollars to the enriching of New York, yet could not get one dollar in return on their real estate although tho companies would risk nothing by it but would benefit thcmselvesand their patrons, by afford ing so reasonable an accommodation." The Companies would obtain a higher rate of interest on their investments, and thereby be able to declare a better divi dends, their Southern and Western pa trons would be able to rebuild their places devastated by Northern armies." With true Yankee selfishness, however this petition was utterly disregarded, and our people still persist in "returning good for evil." LOUISIANA. The commencement of the troubles in this State was with the illegal election of Win, P. Kellogg, the present executive, which led to an armed resistance on the part of-tho taxpayers, and resulted in a reign of anarchy and bloodsh.eed in va rious parts of the State. Tho opposition was not to Kellogg personally, as bad as he may have been, ho could be no worse than tho hulk of his parly. The fight was for existence. Ground to tho earth with taxation, excluded from all legislation, and trodden upon by the basest of rulers, tho people of this com monwealth made a resistance. It is now checked by the strong arm of the United States law, President Giant issues a proclamation, ordering the people to dis perse. The peoplo of Louisiana, as also those of the entire Soulh, are in a hope*' less degraded position, and Gon. Grant, soaring on tho wings of eaglo liberty, feels if ho would confess it, that ho pre sides over a governiiiuut that has done moro to blight civilization, nnd degrade his race, than any rqle outside of barba rism. Merely for party power (which is a failure and a disgraoe) he consents to sec the entire South in tho hands of| thieves am! perjured politicians, and as the head of the- Republican party *ho en dorses tho rottenness by not using Ids in fluence to check it. _ COMMUNICATED. Dear Times :?Knowing that^; you have the welfare of tho people at heart, and are ever ready to advance tho wel fare of our community, I take the liberty of addressing you the following : On Thursday last while returning home from my work, I saw in front of | one of our largest business houses, n drunken hoy, about 15 years old. Said youth was smoking a cigar and stagger ing to and fro in frout of tho door. Now, Mr. Editor, if this was tho only cnee in our town, it would not seem so bad, but very frequently we see this sight of druukonncss hero. Now if thero is not among the liquor dealers of Orange burg, enough of self respect, humanity, ; conscience, or common sense, to stop Ibis fiendish crime, against society, we de?ire to know if there is any law of the land that will compel them to do so. It would seem that the youth of our country arc encouraged to drink, nmfto I visit places where drinking is carried^ on, instead of being taught to "taste not, nor handle." Parents ; tench your little ones to shun the rum shop, or they may reproach you some day in a manner you least expect. You may say, "my son will never be seen intoxicated." I a.uk you, what is to pre vent it? Is he not encouraged to drink by the example set before him/ by hi comrades, or youths of similar ago. The Town Council encourages the sale of in toxicating liquors to boys, insomuch as they do not take steps to prevent it. I noticed some time since a.paragraph in a newspaper, stating that "a boy fell dead in front of a grogery, whero he had been made beastly drunk." In another case,' "one small boy fatally stabbed an other in a quarrel. Both were drunk." I Comment is not necessary, the people j c-hould frown down an evil which is fiat) iug so much harm in our ta^n. a "Will not our Town Council look intof this matter, and sec if there is no way to prevent the liquor dealer selling or giv ing intoxicating drink to the young, who do not know the terrible danger of its effects; CITIZEN. [The Times does not pretend to be the tempcrnnco advocate of Orangcburg, to the extentof the "Maine liquor law," but it endorses the earnest wish of our corres pondent, who bemoans a state of affairs," which scouts all regard for public opin ion.

At a regular meeting of Robert Swamp Grange, held on the 14th inst., the fol lowing preamble aud resolutions were | unanimously adopted. We are called upon for the first time siuce the organization of our little socio ty to mourn the demise of one of its mem bers. The Harvester Death has entered our circle with his sickle and gathered from our midst a sheaf, the grown car. A (aithful member, an efficient stewardess has been called from her earthly sojouru to enjoy in all their plcntitudc, those blessings which await the christiau in that Haven of Rest beyond the grave. The period of human existence is short at best, but how much shorter must it feecin to the survivors, of one who has unexpectedly been stricken down in the noon-day of life, amid a career of useful ness and activity. "While the hearts of every one, who I pinew her will answer in responsive sym pathy to the sad announcement of the death of our friend and lamented sister, lifcg^voar of thu. is(^hbtn-hooil^flfi*^vliom "ftje performed many kind ofliee?j*l5Ri wor'o i encouraged by her smiles and pleasant ivprds, in the anguish of their souls may Justly deplore their loss. : In the bloom of womanhood, with an Unsullied record, and in ihc enjoyment of the fruition of many of life's dreams and aspirations, a future replete with promises; surrounded by a large circle of f riends and relatives, and cemented by the ties of love and affection of a de voted husband and fond children, sad indeed seems the fate which should break them assundcr. While we murmcr not at the decree of I Providence, while we bow iu submission to,the will of the Divine Architect of Heaven and Earth, we claim the sad privilege of mourning the lost one, who was a fit exponent of those qualities and ennobling virtues which adorn tko true woman. Be it Resolved, That in tho death of our late sister II. S. Cleckley, this Orange has met with the loss of a most Bsc'ul and efficient member, and the (bmmunity been deprieved o?nn esteem ed and benevolent citizen. Resolved, That wo share the sorrows of her relatives in their irreparable lofs snd; condole with them in their sad be leaveincnt. Resolved, That as a tribute of re spect and appreciation for our deceased aster, ami sympathy with her friends lud relatives, a pago in the minutes of | inr Grange he dedicated to her memory. Resolved, That this preamble and leSohitions he published in the Ornngc lurg*Times, and a copy of the same be furnished the family of the deceased. T. B. BOY?, Secretary.
