Ote State Contemporaries. % - - Barnwell People. There is -said to be a cunningly de? mised, autograph album for use during ??^year 188$, in which unsuspecting - m anjees are, induced to write their l&afes and which afterwards turns out to be a book' of blank proposals of mar? riage to tba- depraved young man who it. Young women will see the necessity of refraining from writing .their. sames in suspicions looking al? bums this year, unless, of course, they . are looking for some album of that kind. ?r ^ . Picken* Sentinel. fc? Charleston is a good place to have anything in the winter, spring, or au ?tamo. We have never known or heard of a crowd wanting for the proper en? tertainment in that city. But it is a matter of surprise that any one should think that Charleston, or Sullivan's Is?nd would be a suitable place for the StrmmePEncampment. Charleston will do well if she maintains her Gala Week "in the fall, and her Floral Fair ia the "spring. Greenville offers every inducement in ?the,way of railroad facilities, a pure "wonatain air where the syren song of the mosquito never falls upon the wake fal ear? and his poisoned proboscis . serer pierces the fevered cheek. - . - - - >i ? Pres* and Reporter. Ca?ahuates' cards are beginning io appear in tbs State papers, and there ate. other evidences that this is electioa year. Long ago the Press and Re- j porter favored an expression of opinion '-from candidates, as to the important ^f^estiens of the day, ere they are elect? ed to office, and it still contends that it is right that such course should be acspted. Give the people the Primary ."system, and let'candidates state their opinions in print. Of cours?, they can also express their views from the stump, j . hut, it is important that their written j opiniona be pnt on record. Anderson Intelligencer. Congressman Cothran came down fr^pp .-Washington last week to represent ar client in a trivial ease in the Court of Sessions at Abbe vii ie. We presume he has this right, bat it seems to as that when the people elect a man to repre? sent them in public omeo, his time be- j longs to them, especially when the body | ..of which he is a member is in session. I ' Important measures are before Congress j ~ Dearly every day, and it is a Congress- j man's doty to be at his post every day j cf the session. The people pay him ror j his services, and his time belongs to them daring the session of Congress, j .r There is too mach of this done by pub- j lie officials in this day and time. "A j public office is a public trust," and an j .oficial should discharge his duty as ! ' faithfully as if he were a day laborer j ^working for a private individual. The Barnwell A? rica'tural College, j Marlboro Democrat. j ?Xrs- Phillips, of Barnwell County, j performed all the work of ploughing, j preparing, planting and cultivating her ' crops last year, and made thirty odd j bales of cotton and "plenty of corn, j peas and potatoes" besides. This is the j best record published so far, since Mrs. j ^Phillips not only held the plough her- j self, bat employed an ox instead of a j male in ploughing The prize farmers j cf the State may wei! look to their>lau- j reis, while ail those who are unable to [ make farming pay bad better organize j au encampment io Great Cypress town- j ship this season to study Mrs. Phillip's ' :nethodsand profit by her example.- ; S\rsw$ and Courier. The above is hard to believe. We? are sure that both the crop and the re port were fertilised with concentrated lie: Bather Premature. We notice in some of thc county pa? pers of the State that candidates for several county oSces have already in? serted their cards announcing their can? didacy subject to the actions of the pri? mary election to be held next sommer. This is a little premature it seems to ts, and bad poli?y for many of the candi? dates, as it gt ves the voters six months io pick flaws in their characters. Or? dinarily one ii onth only is required t > let a man ko<w all the meanness ne ever did. and sometime a little more. Let us make a crop first. Against Immigration. Abbeville Press and Banner. The Marion Star is strongly opposed to foreign immigration to this State, and proposes laws to prevent it. If grach laws bad been in existence against thc incoming of our grandparents, where wouid the editors of the Star and the press and Kanner be to-day ? No, friend Star ; you are the tracie. Wholesale reflections against immi? gra:: rs fleeing from oppression or seck SS<y r. home in this land of (ho free, arc out cf order. Such articles are an of? fense :o every man and woman on this continent, except perhaps a few Indians Scattered here and there. X.? doubt xhv In?ians think they made a mistake in n-'<t killing off the early immigrants, hui i' seems strange that we, the de seendauts of the early immigrants, should cry out against others coming to our shores. We say let them come. Vv'c'i: welcome them. The immigrant of to-day may make as good a citizen as the immigrant of fifty o; a hundred years ago. Because ?b j descendants of the early immigrants have zrrown rich and self-rigbtcou?, is there any wisdom in casting reflections on e who now seek to live with us, and who may be just as good in every sense of the woid as were our grand fathers All our grand fathers were poor immigrants-rich only in hard ei:h?e and ready hands, willing to work. We, 'heir descendants, cut a uice fiore ve before the country in wholesale denunciation of immigrants, when the world knows that we descended from i?i migra nts. {( is all right enough to oppose the lanolin*: of outlaws or criminals, but let to man lu this country speak comtemp I tuously of Europe's poor who seek our I shores, to better their condition and j ours, against whom only the charge of I poverty is brought. ? Better enact laws which will prevent I the landing of the alleged nobility who j come here for no better purpose than to I marry and fool our rich girls, i No ; rich people do not come to this j country. The Old World is more de? sirable for them, but this is the home of the poor man, where -he .may become* rich and win the honors of his adopted j countrymen. Then let no man in this j country assume to talk about the" ''scum of Europe ,v meaning the poor people who come here fer more desirable homes, and whose ehief offence is their poverty. Carolina Spariarsr. Senator 6 iles J. Patterson, of Ches? ter, delivered a speech before a meeting j of the farmers of his county on the sub j jeet of "Reapportionment." He show? ed the injastice of tbe present appor I tionment and arraigned the members of j the Legislature that voted against the j measure. It is an able argument and ? will meet- with the hearty approval of the Piedmont belt generally. The Lisbon Farmer's Club, of Lau? rens county met last week and passed resolutions attacking the action of the Legislature and the annual message of | j Governor Richardson. Of the latter i they declare : I *'We condemn and disapprove of the message of Governor Richardson's ad dress to the Senate and House of Rep? resentatives at its last session as unwor? thy of the chief executive of our com? monwealth ; ignoring altogether, as he did, an organization of farmers repre? senting more than two-thirds of the j counties of the State thereby recording j himself more an advocate of extrava j gance and a strong aristocratic govern j meat than the general good of the whole piople, and we express it as our honest conviction that he is neither a safe nor j reliable oincer." j They think the Citadel Academy and ? the Militia expensive luxuries and are j about as useless as Hampton's national ! norse-trainer would be. They renew ? their allegiance io the "farmer's raove I ment" as originated by Capt. B. R. Tillman and they appeal to the farm? ers of the State to organize and make themselves felt at the ballot box. Anderson Journal. There is some talk of holding the an? nual meeting of the State Press Asso? ciation in Greenville this year. If so, it should take place some time ahead of the proposed jolly week in that city. Greenville is attractive enough ordina? rily, and it is thought that Brother Holmes' set oration will afford ali the extra diversion that may be desired. Woolf oik and Jones, -'Greenville Carolinian. . Tom Woolfolk, the Georgia mur? derer, who was to have been hanged on Friday of last week, was respited and a motion for a new trial will be argued in Macon at the next term of the court at that place. Richard Jones, the Edgefield mur- ? derer, is still at large, having success- j fully passed through all the formalities | of two trials from which he escaped un- I injured and is now enjoying the free air j of heaven. ] Woolfoik is still in jail and Jones is j out--this is the only deference. Both I of them are red-handed murderers, who should hare been sent to the gallows ai : once. . But they are surrounded with j friends and able lawyers who are mak- j ing desperate efforts to save them. And j thus it is that justice is defeated and the law outraged. Just such instances as these furnish a good pretext for lynch law. Something must be done to make courts of justice mete out equal and ex? act justice to all criminals. It is an outrage upon the people that such red handed murderers as Jones, of Edge field, and Woolfolk, of Macon, can go with unbroken necks. Gov. Perry's Writings. The Xetcs and Courier, speaking of the forthcoming volume of bio? graphical sketches by the late Gov. B. F. Perry, says : "The late Governor Perry during his life desired to publish in book form some of his writings, especially the sketches of eminent American statesmen, which he had taken great pairos to render interesting. Upon ? his death, Mrs. Perry, in the fullness ol'her loving appreciation, determined j to carry out her distinguished hus? band's purpose. Mrs Perry selected ! about forty biographical sketches of j American statesmen, including Chris- j topher Gadsden, of whom no lifo has ever been written, Chas. Cbtesworth I Pinckney, David Ramsey, Henry j Laurens, Patrick Henry, <??ief Jns- j ! tic*Marshall and Fisher Ames. To j these were added some of the notable i speeches, addresses and let ters of j ; Governor Perry which have far inore ; than occasional value. There are I also a! tides which describe the char- ; actor and career of Governor Perry . and were published at the time of his j death. Gen. Wade Hampton has ! kindiy written a preface to the vol-j ume, in which he says: 'Thc friends of Governor Perry, j among whom the whole people of his ; native State are included, wiil be pleased to see his literary work tos- 1 cued from oblivion and preserved in ' a shape wort .hy of its author. Every line that he wrote, every word that j he littered, or? public a?Vtirs, were i:> Spired hy an ardent patriotic desire to promote the best interests of his ' ?tate, and. in the light of tho great events which have transpired in thc < last quarter oi a century, many of his utterances have proved as pregnant ; with wisdom as with patriotism, lt is proper therefore; that these utter? ances of his should be placed within the reach oi thc young moo <;! our State, for they cante froto a roan whose nigh ambition was to do lu's duty and to serve his people. Than this there can be no noHer ambition, or? higher incentive to human conduct. During his long, eventful and honor? able career, he followed with un? shaken constancy his convictions of duty, and neither the applause of the people nor their censure a i ve ried him from tiie path pointed out by his judgment and Iiis conscience Ile ai wa vs sou u; ht earnestly that which was right, and when lie had cooee. ;y that he had found it he pursued it with undeviating resolution, regan! less of ai! persona' considerations. No allurements ol' t?olitica! power could tempt him io i?.ifoit his principle or to s<n! his Conscience 5 no r-Ure-atu ol ;)o!:cul ostracisms could daunt. Gi bim it might well have boen srtid what Henry Clay once declared, "that he woyjd rather be right than Presi? dent." The example of such a life as Governor Perry's, sn pure, so un? sullied in all its private and public relations, cannot fail to exert a whole? some and elevating influence whet;- | ever it is known, and in this view the j followm^ volume possesses great in trinsic value, for it gives the opin? ions, the feelings, the very thoughts of the writer, expressed with perfect frankness and with commendable im? partiality. * [ "Mrs. Perry's book will be publish? ed in a few weeks, and it cannot be doubted that it will have a large cir? culation. On the part of Mrs. Perry it is the expression of life long devo? tion." Watterson's Ticket Here is Something for the Republicans to th?n/c over. The Republicans, we are surprised to .see, are grievously divided among themselves as- to who shall be their standard bearer in the approaching campaign. Some of them are bicker? ing over Blaine, while others are shiv? ering over Sherman, both factions, with a perversity that is simply inex? plicable, wasting time and breath in the efforts to put these small potatoes into prominence, and losing sight of the one great and over-towering Og ure which their party can claim to? day. That figure, it is entirely un? necessary to explain, is the present governor of Ohio ; and to our mind it is as plain as a pyramid in the des? ert that if the Republican party pass him by for any other whose name has yet been mentioned for the presiden? tial nomination, it will step over a mountain to reach a mole hill, and will richly deserve the ignominious chastisement which will await it at the polls. The Republican party ie surely in a more advanced stage of decrepitude than even the country has considered it, if it cannot perceive that its only hope and the one logical ticket for it in the coming contest is this : For President,* Catawumpus Foraker, of the United States. For Vice President, Little Breeches Foraker, of Ohio. This would not only be the repre? sentative Republican ticket, but it would insure a representative Repub? lican administration, as with its elec? tion there could be no doubt that the cabinet would be something like this : Secretary of State, The lion. Whangdoodle Foraker. Secretary of the Treasury, The Hon. Gyascutis Foraker. Secretary of the Navy, The Hon. Dick Deadeye Foraker. Secretary of War, The Hon. Snickersnee Foraker. Secretary of the Interior, The Hon. Skulpskinner Foraker. Attorney General, The Hon. Borrioboola B. Wow For? aker. Postmaster General, The Hon. Lickhelloutofademocratic sramp Foraker. -Louisville Courier-Journal. ifo H i-uni - Southerners Swindled in Irish Potato Seed. Government estimates put the yield of potatoes in the United States for last year at 30,000,000 bushels below the crops of tho year before. . In England and Scotland and other exporting countries the yield is esti? mated as much larger than, that of or? dinary years. Up to the 15th Jan? uary 375,000 barrels had been import? ed against 2,000 barrels last year These foreign potatoes are excellent for eating but experience has proved that they will not bear if planted in this country. Two English varieties, the Champion and the Regent, 60 closely resemble our Peerless that only an expert can teil the difference. Deaiers in New Yoik are said to be shipping laige quantities of the for? eign article South branded Peerless. -ap ? ? i -i Negro Millionaires. When the New York papers, a few days 2go, referred to N. W. Coccy as being the wealthiest colored man in Texas, they had evidently not heard cf the Lincoln family DOW residing in Dallas, six children in all who have come in possession of $48,000,000 giving tbera the snug little fortune of ?8,000,000 apiece. One of the heirs of this i mineo 38 property is at present in Galveston. A News reporter looked him up, as much out of curiosity to see a negro p ssesscd of enormous wealth as in starch of an item The following item from a paper published in Paris, Texas, in connection wi h the informa t:03 that one of the heirs wa* iu the c tv, is that which directed the reporter ia the search. The Linc-la heirs (cul 0 ei). living in Dallas, who, a year or so ago became the wealthiest colored people in America, have recently come in possession of all their property. The amount due them was ou deposit in the bank cf England, and aggregated thc enormous sum of ?48.000.000. Forty cii-ht million dollars !

Abraham Lincoln is here, as be says, with a view of probably locating in Galveston. When asked if he had matured any plans for investing this vast estate, he -eplied that they had decided to invest it all on January 1, in United States' bonds. The interest on the bonds, ho said, will give them more than enough to live on, with a good speculation without touching the principal. It is also a safe investment, and carries with it an immunity from taxation. ' - ?II Ul ? -m?Sm^ Attention, Business Men. Section 1,326 of the Revised Stat? utes says : "Every mercantile part? nership in this State, in addition to a proper and conspicuous signboard or plate containing the name and style of the iirm, shall post up and keep posted up in some conspicuous place at the business stand and stands of the firm the given and surname of each member of the firm, under pain, in case of default, of being sued and proceeded against without naming the individual members of the firm, and also of forfeiting and paying in? dividually and each the sum of fifty dollars to any one who shall sue for the same for each and every month they shall make such default as afore? said. Any person conducting- any business as agent shall post and keep posted in like manner the name of lu's other principal under the like pen? alty." -- mm-m--??<?- -wm - The Presbyterian church in the Unit? ed States is approaching a centennial which will show a remarkable growth. In 1788 when the church was organized in this country, it had sixteen presby? teries, 177 ministers and 419 churches, with about 10,000 members. . To-day theie are in its three branches 389 presbyteries, 8,333 ministers 11.212 churches and parishes and about 750, 000 members. In charities and good works it has been nobly progressive. ?aa ? i - The Russian bear has been aroused from his hibernation by the discovery that Germany and Austria have agreed to go gunning for him on the slightest provocation. - ba - Senator Hampton has introduced a bill into Congress that is attracting at? tention.
