Morris, of Pendleton, will be n prominent
candidate for Governor at the approach-

spected eilisen and ie on g«od terms with

Tbe Rpanish steamer Castilla, from
Havana arrived at the quana'ine in Char
leston harbor recently and the board of
health refused to let her come up to the
City. This steamer ships about 62,000
bnfet of cotton to Barcelona, Spain, from
Charleston every year. Tbe steamship's
consignees bave threatened to transfer
tbeir business to Savannah where tbs
J narantine against them lasts only ten
eye, while in Charleston it continues un
HI November 1st. If this threat is car
ried into effect it will seriously injure
Charleston’! cotton trade.

J. Hendrix McLane. the would be Gov
ernor, bss been at some of bis old trick*
again. His latest ycheme is to form a
third party in Sooth Carolina For this
purpose be has prepared a circular em
bodying the principles of tbe Republican,
Enow Nothing and Greenback parties. Toe
signers of this circular “recognising th*
want of more liberty in political action
sod enlightenment among th* masses of
the people" declare in favor of better free
choole and honest election*. After fur
ther stating their prineiplee, the circular
calls on the North for '-aid and sympathy
in our effort to improve the State and
reach a higher civilisation.’’ This docu
ment is to be distributed throughout tbe
State, bat there is little doubt that its
signers will be few.
THE BAGGING ‘’TRI ST.”
The great questioii of tbe hour
in how tbe grin I mg exaction of tbe
“Cotton Bagging Trust*’ can best
be eraded, ami tlaring tbe course
of tbe last ten tbt,\s various expe
dients have Ineo suggested for
doing away with tbe use of tbe
stall altogether. Tbe merchants
of Charleston advise all of tbeir
customers to stick to tbe use of
ho matter what it costs,
assuring tbtun that if any substi
tute is used lor packing a bale it
will be repacked at the pons at tbe
expense of tbe owner.
With all the other troubles by
which the unfortunate fnrtnerg are
confronted at Ibis time, this state
of thiuga is greatly to be deplored;
but fortunately for them informa
tion was received yesteiday which
may tend to lighten this last bur
den which has been placed upon
them. Higher authorities than the
Charleston factors, namely, tbe
merchants of Liverpool, have an-
nonoced that a heavy grade of cot
ton cloth will answer as a substi
tute for jute bagging to all practical
intents and purposes. This sheet*
ing may be made of the staple, and
need not cost more than three or
four cents a yard; if used it will
increase the consumption of the
staple itself, it being estimated that
it wi I require about KM),000 bales
to supply tbe neoessHry bugging,
and will afford the first instanceou
recoid w here the farmers of the
country have been victorious over
these cruel, exacting “Trusts.”
A SKRIOUiTINCONVENIENCE
Heretofore the weights marked
on the coltou bales have beeu re
oeived by the railroad companies
as correct, but at tbe first of tbe
present year they insned an order
requiring their agents to weigh
every bale as it was received. The
accomplishment of such a task will
be well nigh impossible with the
force ot hands now employed at
this depot. With his usual spirit,
however, Mr. Ouslow our efficient
agent, is endeavoring to carry out
bis instriKtious ; but if some relief
is uot afforded him iu the near fu-
tuje, when the freight business is
sure to be twice as great as it is
even now, business will literally
co ne to a stand-still at the depot.
As it is, goods are sucked up iu
every direction, and the merchants
have gioai difficulty iu getting hold
of them owing to the large amount
of cotton which has to be weighed
bale by bale. Business of all
kinds is greatly impeded, and it is
hoped that the rail to.id company
will take some action in tbe matter
at once. We understand that they
have beeu requested to adopt a
plan which lias worked very suc
cessfully in Columbia, that is, to
accept even bale at a standard
weight, any. 475 pounds. By ac
ceding to '.his reasonable proposal,
they will relieve our merchants of
serious inconvenience
IT WON'T*BAPPEN AGAIN.
T4e unexpected rash of adver
tisements during the past week
has had the effect of exhausting a
considerable portion of the space
which we have usually devoted to
reading matter. As this state of
affairs was totally unexpected, we
trust that our readers will conso'e
themselves for any deiinquincies
in the present issue by a recollec
tion of the efforts we have made
during the past year to furnish
them with all the news w hich could
be obtained. By next week such
arrangements tor enlarging tbe pa
per will have been peift-cted as
will allow us the usual umoaut of
space fur news items.
THE MOTE IN YOUR OWN EYE
Tbe 8u utcr WaUskman and
tfratAroa U endeavoring to preach
morality to the people of the Sixth
Congressional District. We would
respectfully suggest to that eeti
mable journal that if the one half
of what is said about the morals of
the vicinity iu which it Aourishes
be true, it will have about aa much
as it can attend to in acting as
“Watchman* for that portion of
A DISGUSTING SPECTACLE.
As previously reported iu these
oolumu*. B R. Tillman spoke in
Charle*t<;n ci (be night of tbe J8th
ult. ar the request of W. P. Has
sell, John McEltee, and other Inde
pendent D-mmcrats ami Independ
ent Rej nb leans. Tillman iudnlged
in his usual abase and bad lan
guage, bragging that be bad been a
ring leader in the Hamherg massa
cre, taunting tbe jnopleof C arles-
tou because they “had never killed
a nigger” and saying that they were
“the most arrant set of cowards
that ever drew the free breath of
heaven ” The whole speech teem
ed with vulgarity, and was striking
ly characteristic throughout of him
who uttered it. “And still tbe won
der grows” how the people of South
Carolina can listen with any degree
of patience to tbe harangues and
false statements of this vain glori*
ous, narrow minded, malcontent.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE OBLIGA
TION.
The Darlington News returns
its sincere thanks to the accommo
dating special corn-spondeuts in
every Tewnship iu tbe Uouuty,
who by tbeir energy and zeal ena
bled us to have the satisfaction of
publishing to tbe world tbe result
of the recent Primary E eeti. ns
within twelve hours after the votes
had been cono'ed at tbe various
precincts, and six boars before tbe
Democratic Executive Committee
bad cauvassed the returns.
We hope some day to be able to
make return to these gentlemen
for tbe valuable aid with which
they rendered us.

A REAL NEWSPAPER
On Monday the Neteg and Courier
contained a very flue annual trade
review ofCharleston, going into the
minutest details to show the pro
gress of tbe city. Ou the following
day it bad a similar description of
tbe steady advance Columbia has
made, hi every way, during the pa*t
year. This is a big pit ce of enter
prise and the Newt and Couriet de
serves praise for showing to the
world the steady, healthy growth
of the Slate’s capital and its me
tropolis.
