Thf Rrdurlion Will Ranse From Tweily-Five to Thirty-Five Per Cent. Daki.imitox, April 30.—The cot ton crop here is planted and there is no doubt that for the (irst time a re duction of some consequence has been made in the acreage planted. A great many obstacles are in the way of reducing the area planted in cotton, obstacles that are hard to overcome because of the considera tions involved. The fanners have always regarded cotton as the staple crop and are perfectly familiar with all of the necessary details of its cul tivation, gathering and marketing. Then the system of renting land to tenants, who plant very small crops, necessitates, almost, the planting of this staple crop. In addition to these considerations is the further fact that the average farmer is not addicted to experiment ing on new crops requiring new and perhaps more difficult cultivation. This season, however, all obstacles have to a certain extent been laid aside and the cotton acreage in Dar lington County, comparatively speak ing, is very much reduced. It is very hard to ascertain posi tively, however, what the total aver age reduction is, owing t«, tlie fact |^afdj j s Rj the anil'll m\ T!it*p cnnsiui|iu ;i largo number, and what they piaiit will make some aggregate figures of importance. A considera tion of some importance on this sub ject is the the fact that 40 per cent, less of fertilizer tags have been sold in the State this year than were sold last season. Fullv this difference list contains all the names of plant ers interviewed. The reduction of acreage among the tenantry is con siderable. A greater decrease in the coining crop may be expected from the reduction in the use of fertilizers rather than reduced acreage, al- thiit will probably he 20 or 25 per cent for the county.—News and Courier. Tillman's Indecent Language. THE BOOK OF JOB. Quite a number of uHti-Tillnimi newspapers in this State are pro pounding questions to Christians who are reckoned among the sup porters of the present Governor for re-election. The burden of these in terrogatories relate to the profanity and vulgarity of the Governor as shown by his recent speeches at Greenevillu and Edgefield, and great surprise is expressed that the Chris tians among his followers can still pledge their support to such a man. We do not share in this surprise at all, for there is nothing new or strange in the expressions quoted by our contemporaries as falling from the lips of the Governor. Two years ago he used an anecdote of the most indecent character in opening the campaign at Greenville, s and there were hundred of church h ! a %? aml W't- memjiers vylpi ^eaytt ' ^e' anjedote viuS l,Mi 111 srm,Mle,,p uf lim - Edinund Clarence Stedmau Says It is (he Subliniest Poem of Antiquity. The subliniest poem of antiquity is impersonal, yet written in the Hebrew tongue. The book of .Job, the life-drama <f (he man uf I'z, towers with no peaks above it; its authorship lost, but its fable asso ciated in mind with the post-Noach- ian age, the time time when God dis coursed with men and the stars hung low in the empyrean. It is both epic and dramatic, yet embodies the whole wisdom of the patriarchal race. Who composed it ? Who carved the Sphinx, or set the angles of the pyramids f The shadow of his name was taken, lest he should fall by pride, like Eblis. The narra tive prelude to dob has the direct epic simplicity—a Cyclopean porch to the temple, hut within are Heaven, the Angels, the plumed Lord of Evil, befoie the throne of a judicial God. The personages of the dialogue be yond are firmly distinguished: Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, Elihn—to whom the inspiration of the Al mighty gave understanding—and the smitten protagonist himself, majestic Common Thieves. aqd yjien cqn tin tied tq fqllqw Mr Tjljman \v4H thy iiuunsl wn) until the qampuign ended. The indecency did not offend them, if we can judge by their actions.

There are other things of which people can be roblied which are of fully us much value as those that attract street thieves or burglars; and there is one kind of robber whose thefts are never ceasing, and yet do not tiring him before a judge. This is the one who steals people’s comfort and satisfaction and pleas ure at every turn by giving free play to his sarcastic, grumbling or slight ing spirit on all occasions. To he sure he is his own worst enemy, hut so are all thieves for that matter. ‘What a good concert that was!’ says some enthusiastic music lover who had just had a, to her, rare treat. ‘Did you think so?’ asks the thief, scornfully. ‘Why, there was hardly a difficult piece on the programme, and all those things have been played by line pianists as mere bagatelles I wonder that the audience sat so pa tiently.’ Then the enthusiast feels her ar dor dampened, and is perhaps even a little ashamed of it. ‘isn’t this a pretty gingham ?' says another girl. ‘..\ qd 4 was such a baygajn 1 You know 1 have to be economical, and 1 got this for only twenty cents a yard.’ ‘They are selling them for fifteen cents a yard now,’ remarked the thief, drily. ‘I presume they’ll be reduced to ten cents by next week, and they’ll be dreadfully common this summer.’ The pretty gingham goes hack into the drawer, while its purchaser tries Not Attending tv his Business. When Fenator Hampton, during hi* holiday time, came to this State to take part in the State campaign by making a sjieecli in which betook no sides and which he concluded with '*Ood save the old State!” there was a great outcry. That was an awful-assault against the liberties of the people, we were told. Now when Senator Irby—assistant dictator— deserts his seat—in which he has been but six .days of the session—mid codacs back to force joint discussion, even if they lead to riots and war, wo sujipose that will be declared to be all right. Of course Senator Irby’s . bluster amounts to nothing. He cannot force anybody to do anything. Hois not yet the master of the free people of South Carolina. He cannot have us all hauled up and cowhided by negroes as he is said to have once done with a white man who offended him. The conservatives will do ex- actji as they may think fit about joint discussions. If they secure a majority uf the members of the Demo cratic State Convention Senator Irby will have u good time ruling them out on account of refusal to obey bis orders. He is a nice man to be our United States Senator and chairman of the executive committee—determined to force matters in what he supposes to be the interest of one Democratic candidate against another even if it. causes riots and war! He cannot bulldoi*.'anybody, how ever. The best thing he can do is to The Bi-Chloride of Gold Cure. | From The Broad Axe.] An article attacking the efficacy of tlie Keeley cure republished in the last issue of the Broad Axe, is thus introduced :—The following recent clipping from a Sun Francisco Source shows that all the cures are not thorough, I’rohihition is the on ly unfailing preventive”.

Who with comon sense would refuse the standard remedy in cases of typhoid fever upon the ground that the rem edy had failed in a few cases? Who would refuse the treatment and die waiting for the completion of some new remedy that he was sure if he could ever get if, would cure? Then why discourage tlie use of the Keeley treatment if no stronger ground can lie taken against it. than that all tlie cures are not thorough?’’ Why pass over the thousands of permanent cures to-day alive, well and honored as sober men, and single out for pub lication a few instances where the strong remedy necessary to reach a deep seated disease may, in a con stitution already ruined by whiskey have resulted unsuccessfully,or even disastrously? Nobody over made the claim for the Keeley treatment that it was an infallible cure in every instance, and nobody but a braggart or a fool ever made such a claim for the most cf- lyilti the ■ fb'ient remedies of common medical practice. Dr. Keeley plainly says liiat they do not guarantee cures in every ease and that 5 per cent, of the cases treated have not resulted in perman ent cure. But think of 115 per cent of the poor enslaved d run kiwis of our country having tb“ possibility of a cure frq^i, ityeir depraved ap- peti.'A. mat shall send them out into Tlie b'^aa- iltlic world with new hope and energy!

On the other hand, the gold cure, Thompson's system, however, in stead of Keeley’s, has the endorse ment of such temperance workers as \\ alter Thomas Mills, Miss Willard. Bishop Fallows and L. I,. Miller, ail of whom endorse the National Bi- Chloride of (told Co., of Chicago. But with ull due deference to these good people, who know more in a minute than this scribe does in a month, we cannot begin to compre hend bow even (be magic touch of gold ran drive out in a four weeks w hut has heel) entrenching itself in the system for forty years. If this lie possible, then verily gold can not only prevent prohibitory legislation, but can also repeal the laws of phy siology. We believe that within live yeabs time the gold cure will stand, cov ered with dust, on the top sliolt, in line with Koch’:' Lymph and Browu- Kcquurd’s Elixir. This is our honest opinion.

Father Matthew’s movement, spreading out from the Cork organization, spread like a prairie fire all over the Emerald Isle. Within four years,five-eighths of the entire population of Ireland, in- eluding men, women, and children had solemnly promised to abstain forever from drink, and the total con sumption of liquors is island had fall en irom 12,000,000 gallons, annual ly, to 5,000,000. Runiscliers found their occupation gone; courts were comparatively idle. The faithful 1 nest thought hin country had been saved from its besetting curse; his heart overflowed with gratitude to God. and the delighted mail went forth to conquer other lands for so briety, meeting with grand succeed both in Scotland and America. The wave of enthusiasm that beat on our possibly helped to bring into being the Washingtonians, and suc ceeding these came the Sons of Tem perance, both buttling along the same line. Volumes were written about conquests won, and the eloquent voice ol the moral suasion rung out all over the land. But the end crowns the work, and the results uf the whole abstinence crusade can be summed up to-day in the one word Icliabod.
