Bad Legislation.
Under Ibis heading the Columbia
Yeoman says:
"By a late act of the Legislature
witnesses iu State cases only get fitly
cents a day. This may be patriotic,
but poor people have long since learn
ed that they cant live on patriotism.
The people have their eyes open, and
they will draw comparisons. "Why,
they naturally ask, increase the
salaries of clerks and employees at the
S'ato House during the session, and
cut down the poor man's wages, who
compelled under the law, to go to the
Court House and stay there lill dis
missed by the Judge, at perhaps an
expense of a dollar and a half a day,
and only give him fifty cents? This
may be law, but we respectfully sub
mit, it is not equit}': neither is it true
economy to a parly thai wants to hold
Ihc reins of government and receive
willing and cheerful obedionco to its
requiromen's. A man now who is a
witness in a Stale case must bring bis
rations from homo, cook them himself
and sleep on a wagon in a wagon
yard, or lose money every trip."
Here is nn old Geman recipe for
happiness : "Wouldst thou be happy
for a day, get shaved ; for a week, go
to n wedding ; for a month, get a lino
saddle horse ; for six months, build
a line house for thyself; for a whole
yenr? marry a beautiful young wo
man ; for two years, inherit a rich
uncle ; but if thou woiddst be happy
for thy life?be temperate."
Our Danger and Our Duty*
Wc publish this week the proceed
ings of the County Republican Con
vention, held at Walhalla on the 27ih
ultimo. Tha tone of the meeting
showed a disposition to organize the
party anew and press for success at
the coming election. This is a Presi
dential year and of course every clloi t
will be made to cany the State for the
Republican candidate. To accomplish
this the party may put in the field a
full State ticket ns well as county |
tickets, as such a course would add
strength to the party. Besides the
greatest etrort will be made to carry
a few close Southern States and ctni
ncnu speakers, may, with this view,
cauyass this Slate. It may be that
many of the leading lights of the par
ty have left the Slate, slill enough arc
lelt to give us a close race unless wc
exert ourselves. This has always
been a party of thorough and com
plete organization and voles at elec
tions for the nominees. With this
fact before us we cannot afford to be
caught sleeping.
What is our present condition?
Are we not organized and united as
in 1870, or did not the failure to have
opposition in 1S78 scatter and disor
ganize our people? It may be the
middle and lower counties have kept
up their clubs, but here, we think,
much work must be done to give us
the unity of 187D. Besides, the pas
sage of fence laws has greatly divided
our people, there being in many sec
tions divisions and dissatisfaction.
As far as possible this must be reme
died, though we do nut advocate any
active campaign until alter the crops
are finished. We hope, however, to]
see our entire Executive Committee
in attendance on sal cd ay, that such
action may be taken, looking to the
call of a County Convention to select
dch'^atcs to the Stale Convention as
may be deemed necessary. The
Count)' Convention will probably be
called early in May.
Squire Bray's Courtship.
Squire Bray, of Caswell, says a
North Carolina paper, was hunting
another wife, but his son Bob, a wild
bbide, knocked him out of it. In the
caoacious breast pocket of the squire's ,
g:vat coat reposed a pint tickler, well
filled, that he only proposed using on
his way back from seeing the widow
Brown. Now just before he started
Bob slipped the tickler out and put
in its place a small alarm clock, care
fully wound up and set for 11 P. M.
The squire had set the lire out und
was well on with his overcoat, hold
ing the widow's hand at the door and I
pulling his sweelcst licks for the last.
"Yes, your ?r?t husband, my dear,
was one of my best friends, and we'll
visit his and my lost Hannah's
graves, won't we, love?" "Ah, yes,
for where was there a sweeter woman
than your poor Hannah?" asked
the widow. "A good woman; she
was good enough, but there's a living
one just as sweet," said the squire,
and was drawing her to him for a
kiss when whizz-wizz-zi^er-whizzer
hizzer ting whir-r-r-r-, ting! bang!
the clock went oil* inside of him.
"Oh luwd?" screamed the widow,
"he's shooting to pieces ! It's Hau
nah's old peunny a playing inside of
him!" "She said she,d hauut cicl
She oilers told me so 1"cried the squire
running in a stoop fdt his horse with
hands pressed to his breast and the
clock still striking, ting, ting. He
rode like Old Knick was after him,
and never knew the racke; till he felt
for bis tickler and pulled out the lit
tle clock that Bob had bought at
auction. The widow believes to ibis
day that old man Bray is a walking
volcano.
The Census,
^Vc would suggest to every one
to be ready for the census enumera?
tor when he conies around in June.
Bear in mind that this has nothing to
do with the assessment of property
for the purpose of taxation. Go to
work now and get as near ns possible
to tho actual amount and value of
products of last year. This will in
clude everything raised on the farm,
as well as all farm animals. The
names and ages of the family will be
required. It will facilitate matters
very much if these facts nie all pre
pared beforehand. If you have neigh
bors, while or colored, who do not
rend the papers, anil who may be ig
norant of the papers, and who may
j bo ignorant of the purport of i\ cen
sus, explain it to them, so .they may
be prepared; to answer without re
serve.
?ondemnod to Die.
Thomas White, a white man, sever
al weeks ago, on the streets of Spnr
tanburg, while intoxicated, by some
strange freak, shot and killled Pet
Williams, a negro, without provoca
tion. The Spartan in noticing tho
Court proceedings reports the follow
ing melancholy facts. Ono ennuot
but feel sorry for the execution of a
murderer, but something must be
done to stop the reckless taking of
life. In the case of White the jury
did their duty, and -'the sentence is
just:
There were three murder cases tried
at this court, a very unusual thing
for Spartanburg. Hobo & Carlisle
defended Thomas WhTlc and John U.
Paris, and Duncan & Cleveland and
Homar & Simpson defended Aaron
Massey.
White shot down'Pel Hawkins,
colored, on the streets of Spartan
burg. The strange thing is that he
tlid this without knowing Hawkins,
or without any provocation to shoot
him. It may never be Known what
was the secret spring in his mind that
made him do this deed. It was a
terrible deed, and lhckpeuulty is also
terrible. Paris in an angry scullle
killed Jack Williams, Williams mak
ing' an attack with a-gun. Paris in
the scullle jerked the gun away from
Williams, and struck him across the
head while he was rising, which blow
utilised his death. Aaron Musscy
killed, by shooting, his half blother
Tom. They were out hunting, both
having guns, and in talking over a
settlement they became a little ex
filed, and the gun of Aaron went oil
and killed Tom. It seemed to be a
clear case of accidental killing. When
the verdict was announced Aaron
fell infinitely more happy than lie did
when Lee's army surrendered, and
freedom was bestowed on him.
THK SENTENCE OK WHITE.
Friday afternoon tho prisoner was
brought inlo Court and placed in the
dock. A dense crowd packed the
court-room at Ihc time. Judge Wal
lace, feeling the awfjll solemnity of
Lhe occasion, said :
"Thomas White, stand up. Have
you anything to say why sentence of
death should not be pronounced on
you r
For the first limo during the whole
trial the prisoner showed some tglta
lion of mind. His voice was a little
quivering and he said : "I can only
say that I am clear of the charges
ngainst inc. 1 am not guilty of them.
I am innocent of it. In my eon
science before God I don't feel that I
done this deed. I don't think it right
before God lo put me to death for
what 1 did not do." These were
about his words, uttered with not so
much connection as hero expressed.
Judge Wallace then said about as
follows :
"Unfortunately for you , Thomas
While, a jury of your countrymen
have declared you guilty, and it is my
painful duty lo declare the judgment
of the law. I do not punish you, and
the jury docs not punish you. The]
jury have found, after careful investi
gation, that you killed Pet Hawkins.
On that record the duly, painful as it
is, devolves upon me lo pronounce
tho sentence of the luw. I cannot
find it iu my heart lo add one word
to the keen distress you feel. All1
men must die ; but when you, a young
man, full of life, just in the vigor of
mauhood, come lo die a felon's death,'
it must penetrate you with a degree I
of distress which cannot be expressed!
in words. It must occur to you, us
it must lo every man, that il you had
not hud n pistol In your pocket??
Prisoner : UJ did nol have a pistol ;
before God?"
Hero his attorney asked him to be
silent. Judge Wallace was patiently
wailing to hear what he had to say,
"If you had not had a pistol in
your pocket, and been on that fatal
afternoon drinking liquor to excess,
l'ct Hawkins would not have been
killed, anil you would not be here lo
receive the sentence of death. Pet
llawkin's death and your approaching
death are traceable to the common
practice of th inking liquor lo excess,
which practice proved as fatal as if
you had administered strychnine lo
Pet Hawkins and then taken it your
self. Examples arc of such frequent
occurrence in South Carolina, where
the free use of whisky, joined with
tho practice of carrying concealed
weapons, brings many men to danger
and death, that, it seems to me, all
good men ought to endeavor to con
centrate public opinion so ns lo check
those two evil practices. Thomas
White, I regret that it is my duty to
give it as my opinion that you will be
obliged to die. It seems that you
have nothing to do but to make your
peace with that God whose laws you
have violated. Lot me, who would
jdo everything in tenderness, exhort
j you to save yourself from a more
[dreadful punishment than the law can
inflict. I will not protract this fear
fid scene. The sentence of the law is
that you be taken from the place
where you now arc back to the jail,
and there kept in close confinement
until Friday, the 23d day or April
next, and that, on that day, you he
taken from the jail to the place of pri
vate execution, and there between the
hours of 10 a. m. and 13 i\ m. be hang
cd by the neck until you are dead ;
and may God have mercy on your
soul."
Languange ot the Hair.
Each of our features is supposed lo
have a language?eyes, nose and
mouth. Hut the language of the hair
has been formulated in the following
manne : Straight, lank, stringy-look
ing hair indicates weakness and cow
ardice. Curly hair denotes a quick
temper. Frizzy hair, set on one's
head as if each individual hair
was ready to light its neighbor,
denotes coarseness. Black hair de
notes persistent resolution in accom
plishing an object, also a strong pre
disposition to avenge wrongs and in
sults real or fancied. Brown hairdo
notes fondness for life,a friendly dis
position, ambition, earnestness of
purpose, capacity for business, relia
bility in friendship in proportion as
hair is fine. Very fine hair indicates
an even disposition, a readiness to
forgive, with a desire to add to the
happiness of others. Persons with
very line light brown auburn hair, in
clined to curl or frizz, arc quick tern
pored, anil are given to resentment
or revenge. Bight brown hair in
clined to redness, with a freckled
skin, is a certain indication of deceit,
treachery and a disposition to do
something mean to a friend who can
no longor be U9cd to advantage. We
give the information ii9 we find it, and
is about as true as such things gener
ally ore.
The Public Credit.
It is a source of congratulation to
every citizen of the Slate that the
credit of the Stale is now in such a
healthy condition, Recent quotations
show our bonds to be above par, and
all the doubt and uncertainty that
prevailed for so many years have
given away to perfect confidence in
our securities. This result is attribu
table, of course, to the settlement'of
the debt of the State, and Una would
never have been accomplished had
the whole matter not been referred to
the courts for adjudication. It was
unfortunate for the ciedit of the Stale
that there was so much delay in refer-j
ring the matter to the courts, and a
few more years of uncertainty, with
the debt question firmly fixed in poli
tics and left lo the caprice of each
succediug Legislature, would have
the credit of the State beyond redemp
tion.?Spartanburg Herald.
Judge John Rice was a very vioJ
lent secessionist and in a spcaoh urg
ing secession said "Why,?Yan-J
kces! If they show fight wc can
whip them with pop guns?" a short
lime after the war Judge Rieu was;
making a speech at the same cross*
road where ho had made his boast
ing speech before the w ar. One of the
audience asked him \i he was uot the
same Judge Rico that spoke there in
IHOO. "I am," he replied "Weil,
didn't you say, that wc could whip
the Yankees with pop-guns?" "I did
and we could have done it; but,???
'cm, they wouldn't fight us that
way !"
The term "watered stock," origin
ated, it is said, with Daniel Drew,
who was a drover in his early days.
T. Carpenter a leading broker in Wall
street, was a son of a farmer in Put
nam county, where Drew came from,
and he went lo Drew one day to sell
him some stock which had been put
j on the market at considerably above
the actual cost of the property. Drew
said : "That stock makes me think of
old ('armer Brooks up in 'Put* who
used to salt aud water his stock to
make bis cattle weigh heavy when he
sold them l** Tho broker told the
story in the street, and it became an
adage.
A Southern Opinion.
The Memphis Ledger, on the pre
sent status respecliong John Cbinn
man in America, says;
As the stream of African humanity
Hows West, it is met and crossed ut
St. Louis by the Chinese ndvanee
guard. If the Northern philanthro
pists were really animated with a
sense of justice and a desire to relieve
their fellow man in distress, they
could Und a large field in California.
?The Chinaman may be degraded;
may be a pagan, and worship u
wooden or a clay god ; may cat rats,
and do other heathenish things bat
he is a human being, and presumably
has a soul to save and a vote lo sell
on election da}'. They arc r. patient,
industrious people, and had a civili
zation and u literature thousands of
yean ago. The opposition to them
in California and elsewhere is not
because they arc heathens, for their
persecutors make no great pretence
of righteousness. The trouble is that
they are too industrious and econo
mical, and are willing to work cheap
er than the Cncassian and African
races. Hence John Chinaman is rob
bed, beaten, kicked and driven out.
1 here is something wrong in all this.
The Chinaman has either a right un
der existing treaties to settle in this
country or he has no such right. IT
he is merely an intruder, with no le
gal rights, he ought to be shipped to
his native country?otherwise he
ought to be treated as well as an
African or an Indian. Two car-loads
of Chinese have arrived at St. Louis
and five hundred more are coining
close after them. They arc mostly
going to the Eastern cities, the fare
having been put down to thirty-five
dollars from San Francisco to New
York, where they expect to find work
which they can pursue undisturbed.
A Word lo Husbands.
Has anybody ever written upon the
responsibility which rests upon a
husband with regard to the educa
tion of his wife? Of course we know
what you will say about her being
supposed to have ''finished her educa
tion" before marriage, and all that;
and we all know she begins an edu
cation with him as new as if she had
never seen au alphabet. His views,
feelings and ideas are they nothing to
her if she loves him? Years after,when
they who her knew as a girl come
to talk with her as a matron, do they
uot find her husband reflected in eve
rp sentence, either for good or evil?
Of course the more strongly a wo
man laves the more completely is her
identity absorbed in that of her hus
band. This is a point that is too
much neglected by married men. A
good husband is almost certain to
have a good wife ; and if she be not
as good as he eo dd wish, at the com
mencement of their married life lie
could educate hor up to the proper
mark. And, on the other hand, he
can educate her down so as to render
his house a purgatory, and perhaps
bring on himself und family the
greatest agony and keenest disgrace!
which a husband und children can!
feel.
An Anti-Granl Nominee.
A Washington dispatch says that;
lit is announced in influential quarters
that if Gen. Grant is nominated at
Chicago, his Republican opponents
will bold a convcutiou and bring out i
another candidate and run him inde
pendently of tho Democrats, Gl ecu-1
backers, and everybody else. They
say it would be impossible to unite
their votes upon the Democratic nom
inee, whoever ho may be, and, there
fore, they must have an independent
candidate of their own party. The
uames of Wm. M. Kvarts, Geo. Win.
[Curtis and Julius H. Secy Its are men
I tinned in this connection. With such
a candidate in the field in opposition
to Graut they seem to feel confident!
that the latter would certainly lose
the electoral vote of New York, Con-'
necticut und Ohio, and very likely!
that of Maine, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.
?ki'Tis said that absence conquers

"O, no," she replied in her next let
