THE COTTON PICKERS’ COMBINE. And now the colored people, seeing the example set them by the whites, are trying to give all the trouble //icy can. At various points on the C. S. & N. road, in Orangeburg County, Revisions in State Liquor Laws. ^W. B. Shaw la the “Review of Re views”]. The passage of the South Car olina dispensary law amend ments, their attempted enforces ment, the adverse decisions of the courts and the resulting agitations are matters of fami liar recent history. The cam paign for the Gothenburg sys tem in Massachusetts, though finally unsuccessful, was pro- ..$i.oo ductive of much good. One of .50 Its indirect results was the un dertaking of an investigation by the Bureau of Statistics of La bor as to the relation of the li quor traftie to crime, pauperism and insanity. Such an investi gation if conducted in a scienti fic spirit can be made immensely valuable to all interested in the temperance reform movement in its vanous phases. Kentucky has obtained a local option li quor law applying to the whole State, including those districts in which prohibitory statutes The new last week, at Parkr’s, Vance’s and Harlin City, they met and were already in force. organized for the purpose of in sisting upon a price of fifty cents a hundred for picking cot ton. Stirring harangues were made by the leaders, and resolu tions were passed to the effect that anyone who picked cotton for less than the price named would be flogged. An effort to put these high handed measures into execution by taking it out on the back of a luckless darkey who offendeu against them al most led to a riot at Harlin City. The Governor had to order out the Santee Rifles to preserve the peace, and but for the cool conduct of some of the white people m the community, there would have been blood-shed of a very serious nature. law requires that the question of license be submitted to popu lar vote (not oftener than once in three years), on petition of 25 per cent of the voters. As a supplement to the prohibitory law of Iow a, the last Legisla ture adopted a scheme of taxa tion under which every one in the State engaging in the busi ness is compelled to pay $000 annually; but this tax is not to be construed as legalizing the sale of liquors, and license can only be granted on petition of a majority of the voters in cities of 5,000 and over, and of 05 per cent of the voters in smaller places. We find that Utah has taken steps to enforce a more rigid prohibition of Sunday li quor-selling. Massachusettes and Virginia impose new re strictions on the manufacture and sale of cider and wines; the main object in each case seems If we a r e correctly informed to be a prevention of adultera the colored people in this neigh- i tion. borhood have been holding se- — cret meetings recently for the i purpose of organizing to enforce the fifty-cent a hundred de mand.

Besides, whether the price paid is a just one or not, is nobody’s business except in so far as it affects each man’s individual right of action. If the price suits him, he can go ahead picking: if it doesn’t, he can let it alone. When it comes to interfering with the rights of others to the extent of deciding for them whether they are being paid enough for their labor or not, and of enfoicing his decis ion with a strap, Cuffy will find that he has undertaken a bigger contract than he can fulfill, and one that he will be heartily sick of before he is through with it. We repeat: let him take warn ing in time. TO RIVAL "THE KING” Excellent arrangements have been made for handling the to bacco crop here this seas in. A large number of buyers will be on hand ready to pay the very highest market prices for the weed, and the present lessees of the Warehouse are evidently experts who understand their business; so it is safe to predict that there will be no tobacco market in the State ahead of| Darlington. Our people are de voting more and more attention to this crop every year. With Pills Free, as well as a copy of Guide to Health and Household Instructor, Free.
