Here’s a ray of light at last! Coming from one who was in sympathy with the “reform movement,” it is a very decided indication that the work of the “reform legislature" will, in the end, be correctly estimated by all parties and factions. We know nothing about the other counties, but as far as Darling ton and Florence are concerned was not the action of tin* Legis lature a tacit acknowledgment of the fact that the opportunity for "retrenchment and reform” existed only in the minds of tin* “outs” who wanted to change places with the “ins.” By the closest kind of shavingthe taxes of Darlington were reduced half a mill. With our neighbors across the border, a red notion couid only be effected by mak- others ing the tax levy lower than tiie amount actually necessary for conducting the affairs of the county. Weask the “reformers’'’ to tell us, in all honesty and candor, whether this is genuine reform. What is to be accom plished by involving Florence County in debts this year which will certainly have to be met next year or the year after?

(Copyright by American Press Association., EDUCED to its simplest elements and shorn of the halo o f enchant ment that sur rounds the sub ject of African travel the work of Stanley has been a series of marvels, even for this age of great things. Take his first ex ploit,the discovery of Livingstone. To the average news paper man a com- Zj mission from Ttu New York Herald to set out on any un usual enterprise would be accepted as ca Tying with it all sorts of means neces- » sary to success. Of gold there would surely be no lack-gold, the key to e\ery fastne- Yet with all the resources poured out without stint, the Livingstone Relief expedition fell back again and again upon the ‘.‘power of human nature” lodged in the leader. It is only through following day by day the experiences of Stanley that the mind can grasp the trials and difficulties of this mission, which Stanley himself declares was only child’s play beside his later achievements. On the day of dispatching his last caravan from Zanzibar his routine labors ended, and with less than 300 fol- 1 wers, and but twenty-four them fight ing men, he entered the wilderness of Africa bound for an adventure of the must daring type. He was a young man, and his strong constitution weathered the fe vers which attacked him as soon as he en tered the region of swamp and desert. After the fever the next great obstacle in the way of progress on an errand of this nature is the Arab element. These power ful, untrustworthy and rapacious people are not to lie avoided on any practicable route of travel, and while hostility with them means defeat, alliance is almost as ► fatal: Stanley fell in with a caravan that soon became involved in a bitter war with native bandits that disputed the route to # Ujiji, where Livingstone was supposed to lav The chief of the robbers, Miramlio, after accepting heavy tribute from the Arabs, coolly told them to turn baclC for no Arab should p ;s< across to Ujiji except over his dead body. Stanley led his men into battle in aid of his fellow t ravelers, add the strong hold of the bandits, Zimbizo, was carried jmd Mirambo’s forces scattered. But the ungovernable A mbs gushed wildly in pur suit of the savages and soon met with a stunning d The Arab leaders then decides 1 to abandon the route, but Stanley, although some of ids best men deserted, set out toward Ujiji on another roa 1. The Arabs used every means to thwart this new enterprise, but the stout hearted leader gathered a company of fifty-four men, in cluding natives, and started to find Liv ingstone or tlic in the attempt. In a short tfme twenty men deserted in a body, and then the remainder mutinied. Facing their ready weapons, StanU?y cov ered the strongest man among them with his rifle ami quelled the mutiny on the spot. The waver of a muscle would have cost his life, but his coolness restored or der, and he went ahead and found Living stone. This was in 1871. Stanley’s next expedition began in 1874, and waa organ ized to compk lc the laliors of Livingstone, who had died meanwhile, and solve the mystery of Like Victoria. He made his way from Zanzibar to the lake with the usual trials of desertion and sickness, and was rewarded hy valuable discoveries as to the headwaters of the Nile. From Victoria he advanced to Ujiji, followed iu Living stone’s tracks around Lake Tanganyika, 1 and then started on his remarkable trip down the unknown river, the Congo. His predecessors in this field had been unsuc cessful. .Stanley arranged with an Arab trader, Tippoo Tib, to furnish armed allies, carriers and guides, and with 110 iqen of Ids own expedition started from Nyaugwe in November, 1S70. In a few weeks the Arab escort gave up in despair in face of the difficulties, sick ness and hostile natives,and Stanley again i set out alone. The Arabs contended that the great river flowed north and in no other direction, but Stanley insisted that it was tlio head of the Congo. Within the next two months the expedition made the wonderful passage of^hc cataracts, and en gaged in battles almost daily with the natives. Thirty-one pitched battles took place between Nov. 34, 1870, and Feb. 14, 1877. On this hist date occurred the hard est, battle of the-series, that with the Bangala. On approaching the land of the Bangala Stanley expected friendliness, but these people had never seen a white man and would receive no oilers of peace. The exp#lition was moving in canoes, and be fore a landing couid lie made for defense the party was ass tiled by a force of sixty- wounded by poisoned arrows, evil which Stanley had hoped to avoid by taking the Congo route cropped out at the end of a couple of n# iths. This was the Arab pest. These people are the enemies <*f native and European alike, stirring up the savage animosity by their raids and bribing and tempting the trained follow ers of Europeans to desert. Within three days after meeting the Arabs Stanley lost twenty-six men by desertion. During the ug,\t six weoks the flying column was re duced by sickness, desertion and starva- tk>n to 171 men. The. Arabs had devas tated the country and the expedition sub- sisted on # wild fruits and nuts. Men secretly bartered their weapons, ammuni tion and c lot hing with the Arabs for food, j So terrible were the sufferings and ca lamities 'that the followers lost heart am. refused to believe that better things lay be yond. It was “like dragging them along with chains,” said Stanley. “They were deaf to our prayers and entreaties, for, driven by hunger and suffering, they sold their rifles and ammunition for a few ear- of Indian corn, deserted with their ammu nition and were altogether demoralized.” The time passed iu the wilderness was days. An average of six miles was made each day of actual travel. All possible haste was made so that t he savages should not muster in hordes along the route and J overwhelm the travelers. In December I they reached a laud of abundant forage near the lake, and for a few days feasted upon plenty. However, new troubles arose. A powerful tribe, under a noted chief, Mozam- i boni, spurned all offers of tribute, and there was no road except through their widely Moorhead, Cox & Co., Having ]>urcliuml tlic Flock a.id bjainesp of The Enterprise Grocery, Will conlinuo to conduct it at tic earner ol the Public Squar old Htand at tlic.

In order to lighten burdens Stan ley had left, his Itoat 190 miles hack, and lie could not s izo oue without provoking war, whieh lie could ill afford. His am munition was nearly gone and there was no boat material at hands In fliis extrem ity the fate of tlje expedition again fell t ack upon Stanley’s ready genius and rc- souree. Selecting a favorable region re cently passed t hrough, lie built a fort and placed a garrison to hold it and plant corn. After forty-sevensel iys of illness Stanley set out again for Emin's land. Ills boat had been brought up and his flying column wag all together at the fort. Hu reached Emin at the end of April, 1888. Hut the finding of Emin, which had lieen the sjM'cial task of the flying column, was not the end of the expedition. The great Met'd was ammunition, and the storesof this were back with the rear column. Stanley returned to Fort Ikslo in June, and not finding the party on hand he decided to go buck iu person and lead It forward.

The garrison w as in good condition, and a lull granary and growing crops proved the wisdom of holding on to a sue cess once gained.
