Tt sday, Oct. 20, 1892. DEMOCRACY. It is a very significant fact that so many prominent Repub licans have this year joined the Democratic party. It demon strates that the Republican par ty has beon carried so far along the road of high tariff robbery, that men, who have been life long members of the party, can follow it no further. The most prominent of those who have for this reason quit the Repub lican party are Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana, who was Postmaster General in Arthur’s cabinet and who more than once was a popular candidate for the Republican nomination for President, Way ne MacVeigh, of Pennsylvania, Attorney Gen eral under Garfield, Jacob D. Cox, ex-Governor of Ohio and Secretary of the Interior under Grant, and Judge Cooley, the great constitutional lawyer. To these may be added a num ber of influential men who have heretofore been loyal Republi cans. These men have been devoted to Republicanism in the past and have received high political honors from their party. It must have been a difficult mat ter for them to break away from old political associations, to turn their backs upon the party that has so often honored them and only the courage of their convictions and their devotion to principle could have enabled them to do so. They realize that the present tariff law of the Republicans is pouring mon ey into the pockets of the mill ionaire manufacturers and is im poverishing the rest of the coun try. They recognize in it a sys tem of legalized robbery. They see that the prosperity of the country rests in the success of Democracy and will, therefore, cast their ballots for Cleveland and Stevenson. Yet in the face of the conver sions of these recognized stages men, third and fourth rate politicians are advising the poor man to desert Democracy and join the Third party. WHISKEY AS A MEDICINE. We publish in another column the prohibition bill which Rep resentative Blease, of Newberry, will introduce at the next ses sion of the Legislature. The bill very wisely provides for “ministers of the Gospel admin istering wine to communicants at the altar,” but it very un wisely fails to provide for the selling of whiskey as a medi cine. The harm in whiskey is not in its use, but in its abuse. The legitimate use of whiskey is of great benefit to man, for it is needed as a medicine and the law should not prohibit its sale for this purpose. We are well aware that in prohibition communities the law allowing druggists to sell whiskey for medicinal purpo ses is often flagrantly abused. But are not many good laws violated and abused ? And is it advisable to do away with such laws because they are vio lated ? If so, where are we to stop ? If we are unwilling to al low whiskey to be sold as a medicine, why do we not ban ish from the State the great medicines, opium, morphine, cocaine and the like, the ligiti- mate use of which alleviates human suffering, but the abuse of which has brought wretched ness to countless thousands of people ? OUR PEACEFUL CONDITION. The election is less than two weeks off. In South Carolina every officer from Presidential elector to Coroner is voted for on November 8. Although the election is so very close at hand there is no canvassing, speech making, beating of drums or flying of banners in this State. Everything here is serene. The exciting scenes incident to the closing of a great and hotly contested campaign are conspic uous by their absence. We read of the political war waging at a distance—in NewYork,Indiana, Massachusetts, Alabama and elesewhere—but the reports from the scenes of action come like an indistinct echo to us in our peaceful surroundings. This happy condition of af fairs is due to the fact that we are all Democrats in South Car olina. Republicanism in this State is dead and Third party- ism is a myth. We rest calmly ! in our sense of security. The vote of South Carlolina will be cast for the Democratic ticket, national, State and county. A TRYING MOMENT. CEREALS OF THE CAROLINAS. by The Production In 1880 at Shown Census Figures. Washington, Get. 1C.—The Census Bureau has issued a bulletin showing the cereal pro duction in 1889 of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia. In North Carolina the total area in cereals in 1889 was, 3,027,585 acres, as compared with 3,520,571 acres in 1879. There was an increase in the area in corn, oats, wheat and barley of 55,208 acres, 41,436 acres, 19,680 acres and 72 acres, respectively, and a decrease in the area in rye and buckwheat of 5,457 acres and 3,925 acres, respectively. In South Carolina the total area cereals in 1889 was 1,774,- 438 acres, as compared with 1,744,065 acres in 1879. The in crease in the area in oats was 46,611 acres and in that of corn 42,586 acres, while there was also a small area reported in buckwheat, a product that was entirely absent from the report for 1879, although it appeared in small quantities in the re ports for 1869, 1859 and 1849. On the other hand, there was a decrease of 55,392 acres in the area in wheat, of 3,023 in that of rye, and of 474 acres in that of barley. The average yield of cereals (bushels) per acre was as fol lows : North Carolina—Barley,11,66; buckwheat, 7.01 ; Indian corn, 10.92 ; oats, 8.33 ; rye, 4.90 ; wheat, 6.44. South Carolina—Barley, 13.- 70; buckwheat, 7.26; Indian corn, 10.23; oats, 9.80 ;rye, 4 19; wheat, 5.70.

Looking southward I ob served what appeared to be a small black cloud rising and coming steadily toward our steamer. When 1 looked again a few minutes later, instead of seeing the cloud 1 saw some bundled* of swallows. They flew around our steamer several times, as though unde cided whether to stay until the storm passed. At last, just before dark, sev eral of them alighted on the stayrim of our main funnel, which was soon one black mass of birds. The rain came down in torrents, and it was pitiful ta see those frail creatures struggling with the wind and rain. Those of them that could not find a roosting place soon commenced to fall on deck quite helpless. I picked up all those that fell on the bridgedeck and lodged them in the chartroom. Those birds that fell on the foredeck were sheltered in the forecastle by the crew The next day came in bright and clear, with a light westerly breeze, and all the swallows took flight just at sunrise, fly ing In a northwesterly direction. The captive birds were soon set free, and they followed in the wake of the others I may say that all the birds we had were able to fly except one, and it died during the day. Several dead ones were found on the decks at daylight These birds had beautiful plumage, and I fancy they looked rather smaller than the swallows I have seen in England. The captive birds had golden brown feathers just above and below the beak, and white breast; back, black feathers with a bluish tinge; wings and tail brown, and four white spots across.—New Castle Chronicle. The Masartlan System. The all pervading principle of the Ho- zartian system was a conciseness of con struction and an unmistakable geogra phy of tonality. Before Mozart, melodic figures, subjects and keys, with all other theoretical addenda at the dis]>osal of the creative musician, were confused. Mere bits of tune and jingle, with a bril liant passage here and there, constitute a movement, or even a composition. Haydn had brought much chaotic and irregular theoretical lore into clear and definite shape, but Mozart simplified matters still more. Introducing the keenest outlines, the most beautiful fig ures, together with clear and lucid teachings, he defined the formal con struction of the movement, section, re peat, etc., until now the musician or student can set out with his principal subject or theme, and having no misgiv ings concerning the dogmas of subsidiary subject, complimentary keys and the like. A Toon* tVontan'a N.mII.u Afltatloe Ab'iut M.r K.l»» Hair, •We sre very apt at times to let oui Imaginations make sad cowards of us,* said a young American lady whose ox periences have been manifold. "1 do not think that 1 suffered more from ab ject fright than on one day when riding in Rotten row during my first season in London, i bad had typhoid fever the autumn before, which left me rather delicate, and the following winter ray hair came out <u such quantities that 1 finally, although very loath to do so. concluded to 1 ave it shaved and conse quently was obliged to make my debut in English society and my courtesy to the queen in a tvigl “It was a very clever one, however, aad 1 think tbat no one suspected that it was not my own hair. I was absurd ly sensitive about it, considering it was simply tho tunal sequence of sneb a fever, and 1 concealed the fact of my shaved head from even my intimate friends, growing as red as a peony from sheer consciou ness whenever the word ‘wig’ was even mentioned in my pres ence. “My chief pleasure in those days was to ride in the ] ark, for 1 still felt the effects of my ill neos. It had so happened that somehow or other ray wig had never troubled, my mind when 1 was equipped in ha and habit; but suddenly one day—a gai t day, I remember, when the prince and princess and no end of notables were in the row—I suddenly felt that my unfortunate head covering was slipping, and in an instant I saw myself in my mind’s eye riding with bald and shaven crown wildly down the crowded bridlu path the cynosure of all eyes—royal and otherwise. It was an awful sensation. I did not dare touch my slipping headgear for fear of hasten ing the catastrophe, and besides my hor:,e was somewhat skittish and it took both of my hands to manage him. 1 assure you 1 turned fairly sick with fright and felt ready to faint. “ T shall be disgraced forever; I shall be in the papers on both sides of the At- lanticf I thought shudderingly; and then aloud to my escort, ‘1 feel very ill indeed,’ I gasped; ‘pray call a cab. And what can yon do with the horses?’ Mr. ▲., a good natured young Englishman, assured me that he could manage, and with profuse expressions of sympthy hailed a passing hansom at the entrance to the park and put me in it ‘Are you sure you can go alone? 1 he asked anx iously, for 1 must have looked really ill. “ ‘Yes,’ I answered impatiently, ‘yes, only tell him to drive quickly.’ A few minutes later I bad reached the hotel, and hastening to my room 1 locked the door, and with a great sigh of relief turned to the glass to examine ray head- gear. What w as my surprise, relief and self pity to find that everything was as tight and secure as possible; there was and there hat' not been the slightest possible dange ■ of the dreadful mishap conjnred up entirely by my hypersen sitive imagination.’’—New York Trib une. A Spec I fl«’ Against Snakebite. I will mention an extraordinary spe cific for the < ure of snakebite which General Sir J dm Bisset obtained at Natal. It was called “Croft's Tincture of Life,” and v as prepared and sold by an old Scotchu an who kept the nature of its ingredients and preparation a pro found secret. It was put up in small bottles about t.ie length and thickness of a man's forefinger, and these were sold for half a guinea ($3.75) each. Of the efficacy the general declared that there coul 1 be no question. He had himself preserv ed by it the lives of two of bis servants who at different times had been bittei. by venomous serpents, to say nothing jf a great many oxen and a beautiful am. valuable horse. Unfor tunately, Croft* died some years ago, and it is under ,tood that the secret of his tincture pei ished with him. It was probably a remedy the preparation of which was isu; arted to him by some one of the Zulu wi: ch doctors, whose knowl edge of the c rative properties of all African miner tl, vegetable or animal substances is k town to be most exten sive. But they gm rd this knowledge jeal ously, and are .eldom won to impart it to any Europe* n. If the secret of the tinctnre could be rediscovered its finder might perhaps be enabled to claim the reward of £10,300 now offered by the British governt lent of India for a specific against snakebites.—London Cor. Phil adelphia Telegraph. Dancing Party in the Snrf. Old Orchard has witnessed the intro duction of man / a novelty in surf bath ing, but the ver / latest thing was sprang on the unsuspec ting public Thursday by a party of the Imperial's guests. About fifty ladies and gentlemen from that hotel, among hem several theatrical people, marched down to the beach about 11 o'clock and proceeded to the Mammoth bathing house, where they arrayed themselves in surf dipping at tire. Then they went out into shoal water, formed sets for a round dance and went through all the changes of a quadrille. Next a waltz was Introduced, and later a galop and a schottische, all tak ing part and going through the evolu tions just as if they were in a ballroom.

Mar. Than On. Kind. An Englishman at the Hotel Athe- nteum asked a bell boy to bring him some good gum. A stick of the boy's favorite article was procured, the boy assuring our English friend that it was unsurpassed. To the bell boy’s aston ishment, the purchaser began to rub a piece of manuscript with the gum. After a lew seconds of vain rnbbing he asked how we use gnm in America. It took some time to convince him that in Amer ica an eraser is not “a gum.”—Chautaa- aua Herald. How th. Mosquito Doe* It. A mosquito's bill is an elaborate con trivance and consists of two sharp saws and a lance incloeed in a sheath which is also employed as s pump. The saws are bony, but flexible, and the teeth are near the end which is pointed. The lance is perhaps the most perfect instru ment known in the world of minnte things. It is first thrust into the flesh and the opening is enlarged by the saws, which play beside it until the sheath <-on be inserted. The sawing is what causes irritation when a mosquito is biting.— Rochester Democrat aud Chronicle Polities and Presents.

Afraid of Taking the Dlssaao. The late H. L. Unde, superintendent of the city railroad, was one of the moat genial and large hearted men in Ban Kranc.sco. One day he contracted a se vere cold which turned into quick con sumption. He consulted his physician, who told him that Lit complaint was of little importan re and would pass away in a day or two with a little care and reet, bnt realiz id that he was already iieyond medical aid and that a change of climate might do him some good. He was accordingly ordered to Anburn, which is the resort of consumptives from all over California. The doctor was surprised s day or so after to see him back again, and inquired what was the matter. “V’eU,” he said,“thcre was so ranch cough tig around me that 1 al most thought i had consumption, and came back fear ng I might possibly con tract it.” The following day the poor fellow was dead.—San Francisco Argo nant Detected by m Mlsepelt Word. In a trial of p ditical importance, the whole case of which hinged npon the question of the genuineness of certain letters, the most important witness was, while nnder examination, suddenly taken by snrprue by being called npon to write down a particular word which occurred in the letters. The slip of paper was handed back with the word misspelt in an i lentically similar fash ion to that in w lich it appeared in the correspondence, and the clever forger was soon after detected in the witness himself.—San Francisco Argonaut Saratoga, Kan., has a $30,000 opera house, bnt only the music of insects is j ever heard there; there is not a resident | in the town.

The average barber is a pretty cheeky person, but it is seldom that be has the sp-untiK-e to delilsTHtcly make ore of a customer's head and face, to say nothing of time, to further his selfish euds. A good natured man on whose sparsely fringed head a silk sknllcap sits with appropriate grace took bis seat in a bar ber's chair the other day for “a hair trim and a shave.” There were four barbers at work in the shop and just four customers. The artist in whose care the good natured man found him self did his work in a very satisfactory manner. He haudled the scissors deftly and proved to be a thorough master of a koen edged razor. After the bay rum, tho powder and the briiliantine had been successively administered the barber unpinned the small sheet in which he had wrapped bis customer, and was just on the point of removing it when his eye caught sight of a man in the doorway of the shop. The new comer was one of those puffy, red faced persons such as no barber likes to touch. This cheeky barber therefore pressed significantly on the shoulder of his good natured customer, repiuned the sheet, took out his scissors and razor and dili gently went through the motions of trimming the hair and beard. Then he applied more bay rum and powder and fussed about until one of the other chairs was vacated and the red faced man had actually taken possession of iL Then with much ceremony and a lond call for "Brush here!” he dismissed his good natured customer with a smile and just the suggestion of a wink.—New York Times. Taking a Steamboat Around the Horn. Captain John Thompson, master of the steamboat Cumberland, Internation al line, relates a remarkable incident of Maine's early contribntions to the Pa cific coast Shortly following the gold fever of 1849,in the years 1850-1, the steamship S. & Wheeler, a sidewheel woollen craft of medium tonnage, was built at Eastport Farther up the St Croix, where the towns of Calais, Me., and St. Stephens, N. B., stood on oppo site sides of the river, was built the bark Fannie. The Fannie was constructed with a detachable stern, this part being secured by screwbolts, and after com pletion the trail was towed to Eastport, Thompson forming one of the crew of tow. At Eastport the stern was removed and the craft snuk. While submerged the steamboat was floated in; then the Fannie was raised, the stern secured, her hold freed from water, the steamboat steadied by ballast and freight, the masts of the bark stepped, two of them passing directly through the steamboat, her rigging and sails supplied, and out of the Passamaqnoddy she sailed aronnd the Horn to San Francisco. Passage rates to California were high in those days, and the cabin of the steamboat afforded extra facilities. The Fannie arrived safely in Califor nia, where tue same plan of submerging liberated the steamboat, and for many years it ran on the Sacramento river, the first steamboat in California waters.— Republican Journal. A Bee Sts Feet from “Tip to Tip." Wouldn't yon like to see a honey bee as large or larger than the average man? There is jnst such a creature in the speci men room of the University of Pennsyl vania at Philadelphia. It is the largest insect of its class ever seen in this or any other country. v Its wings are as broad as those of an eagle and its honey- bag of twenty pounds capacity. Its legs are also large and well formed, remind ing one of the crooked supporters of a piano stool of ye olden times. The proboscis, which is attached to a head the bigness of a candy bucket, is over a foot lu length and as big around as a broom handle. I know that you are wondering where he ever found clover- heads large enough to work ou, and who provided a half a million of similar sized specimens with a hive in which to store their tong of honey, but there is no use exciting your curiosity further—he never gathered honey; never “improved each shining hour;" in fact, he never had honrs to improvel He is made of papier mache, and is so constructed that every part of his body can be disarticnlated for study. This, the giant of the honey bees, was the work of an ingenious French artificer, who spends his time making gigantic worms, gnats, ^ees, flies, etc., for the benefit of students who are studying entomology, “wormology” and kindred sciences.—St Louis Republic. Some Striking Facial Similarities. Professor Qalton, illustrating ths strong likeness which often exists be tween members of the same family, re ports ths following facts; “One boy oometimes spoke to himself in a looking glass, thinking that he was talking to his brother. A little girl whoee mof'er and aunt were twins often called tier aunt ‘mother’ and her mother ‘anutie,’ so much alike were thoee ladies.” “On one occasion when 1 returned from foreign service,” says a British officer, “my father tnrned to me a> d said, '1 thought yon were in London,' thinking I was my brother; yet he hr I not seen me for nearly four years.”— London Tit-Bits. A Narrow Escape. A Mr. O , who had been ill some time, fell into what was thonght his last sleep. The medical attendant, how ever, had suspicions in his own mind, which he did not pare to communicate to the man's family for fear of aronsiug false hopes. He therefore pnt off his sanction to the burial from day to day, much to the indignation of the suppoeed dead man's mother. On the fifth day, however, the doctor had the gratifica tion of seeing his patient revive. Mr. G , some time afterward, had a re currence of ths malady, this time last ing seven days.—Yankee Blade.

The total amount imported into the United States for the year ending June 80. 1890, was 4,730,4#5 pounds, of ths value of $803,745. For the year of 1889 the number of pounds imported into the United States was 5.509,878.—Boston Globe.

Hall, a young farmer Montpelier, enjoyed himself hugely a few days back In watching a couple of city girls attempt to water their hones at the trough at his place. The horses were checked np, and of course could not get their noses down to the water. This seemed to surprise the young ladies at first, but finally realizing the trouble they both got out of the buggy, and go ing behind lifted np on the hind axle aud after raising the hind wheels clear off the gronnd peeped aronnd th*. side, of the vehicle to see the hones drink. Finding that the horses didn't seem to know enough to stick their heads down at the same time they raised the hind wheels one girl remained behind to bold the baggy np and the other went to the horses’ heads and tried to poll their noses down to the water. After laughing till he shook several boards off ths side of the blacksmith shop from where he watched the girls lift on ths baggy and pull on the horses' heads till they were red ia the face and almost ready to cry, Will went to their assistance and unchecked the horses. The young ladies gated at first in be wilderment, and then with a kind of a don’t-you-ever-tell look at each other calmly tucked the robe aronnd them, leaned back in their seats, and, after wait ing for their horses to drink, drove off, leaving Will to sit down on the corner of the trough and ruminate over the city gal and her way of doing things.—Mo desto Herald. Fre« Lecture on Art. They were evidently a rustic couple on a honeymoon visit to the metropolis as they stood in the shade of a tree in city hall park.

Gosh! bnt their old city hall looks kinder mean beside that grand pile of granite. That’s what I call fine and imposing.” “Excuse me, young man,” said a ruddy faced, white whiskered gentle man who stood beside them fanning himself with his straw hat, “yon mjs- take size for beanty. The city hall is an almost perfect sample of its type of architecture, while the postoffice is a composite monstrosity, and not the only one in the neighborhood.
