Cjje WM tjiman mb 5 o ai $%% WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6. Our State Contemporaries. A Premium on Lawlessness. Aiken Journal. The juries of Orahgeburg do not seem to pot mush value oo the lives of human beings, if we are permitted to judge by tbe action of tbe juries at tb?r recent term Of Court in that County when six white men were acquitted of the charge of morder, notwithstanding the evidence in ali three of the cases W&s pretty strong against the accused. Sfc?uld Judge Lynch open his Court end summarily dispose of one or two matter eases, the people could not COQ afaftntSy fcompiira. The Orangeburg juries are no!? exceptions, however. VTe fear in too many of the counties of Afc State the juries allow the eloquence of eo&nse! to sway their judgment, and eat?e tbem lo lose sight of the fact that they are sworn to decide the case ac? cording to the 'law and: the evidence. tJn?ess.^?ries do their fall duty we can oct expect crime to decrease to any great estent. Convict Labor. Pidxm Sentinel. %tfcre of tfce North Carolina papers are tWfjtatfftg to brag on the public highways lo that State. The convicts, nader ?ood management, are doing faithful work. No application of con? vict labor could give more satisfaction. The old system of working roads is inefficient, unsatisfactory, both to the hands who do the work and the travel? ing public. Some such plan would have already been adopted in this State, had there not been so much work under con? tract in the walls of the penitentiary. Making good roads and cutting off BO much competiou with free labor, would at once pot a quietus on the complaints about the many miserable excuses DOW alleged to the public highways, and tbe bowling about con? victs 8Uperceding honest laborers. The more the road working system of the State is patched np, the less satisfactory, it and the roads both become. Those Cotton Calculations Charleston World. The inflated figures which a local contemporary set up as the maximum of this year's cotton crop were promptly punctured by the World, and the ab surdity of the calculation plainly ex? posed. This was accompanied by interviews with prominent Charleston merchants, who endorsed the views of this paper on the exaggerated estimate of the contemporary in question. At quick intervals other newspapers in thia state and elsewhere assailed the ?wollen statement and laid bare its mischievous characteristics, and tell-tale ear-marks. The Montgomery Advertiser pub? lished in one of the most productive cotton sections ici the South, next de? clares that it 'takes no stock' in the estimate as to the size of the present cotton crop, and declars that there is absolutely nothing on which to base statement of belief that this will be tbe largest cotton crop ever gathered. The Advertiser makes the point tbat the port receipts do not show it, nor do tile reports as to what remains in the interior bear om; any such assertion. That paper makes a comparison of the cotton receipts for a stated period of the present crop year, against a similar period of the crop year of 1887-88, and finds that the total receipts daring the latter period fail short 144,725 bales. The Advertiser also ?bows that the weekly receipts at different interior points do noT indicate that receipts from now on will overcome the deficiency now existing. Says the Advertiser: *Oar Charleston friend is entirely off of his base so far as cotton calculations are concerned.' The Herald's Enterprise. Journal- and Review. The new York Herald is nothing if not enterprising. Ooe of its latest schemes is to establish a private tele? graph wire from New Orleans, via Aiken to New York, and a force cf nine men under ?barge of a Mr. Byasee is now in the vicinity of Aiken going northward cutting out the right of way, and contracting for the delivery of tele? graph poles. Another force will short? ly follow this and put up the pole3 and wire. The men stopped on Monday night at Col. John T. Gaston's. They will proceed on towards Columbia via the Two Notch road. An office will be located in Aiken, of course a special resident correspondent will look after the interests of that great paper. High Priced Fertilizers. Andtrson Journal. In view of the fact that the price of commercial fertilizers bas been advanced this season, on an average, three dol? lars per too, the Fairfield County Farmers' Alliance bas receotiy adopted a resolution pledging its members oot to purchase soy fertilizers this year io advance of the prices roling last year The manufacturers eiaim that the in? crease io the price is caused by the rise in the prices of imported chemicals aod other ingredients, aod many of them have all the orders ahead that they can supply- If this bc so, tbe Fairfield farmers had better amend their resolu? tion, and simply say they will take Capt. Peterkin'8 advice and use no com? mercial fertilizers this year at any price. Farmers Versus Trusts. Times and Democrat. Farmers, have nt last, as Mr. W. J Northern, in the Southern Cultivator, says, begun to act together on the de? fendive. This is the most hopeful sign of the times. Their combined efforts against tbe bagging trust have broken down this iniquitous organization and brought dreadful forbodings to others, none (he less oppressive in their opera? tions. Let it be remem bered, that the bag? ging trust is by ao means past recovery, and that negligence or inaction on the part of farmers may furnish another opportunity to do serious damage the next season. It may be the policy of tbe trust to ruo up its white fl;?g and announce warrender, as the season has passed and no further gains are, just now, possible. In this way, they may hope to divert the attention of farmer's from possible dangers, that they may have the opportunity for more thorough organization and better success io the future. To defeat chis possible project, efforts should be continued to find cheap and suitable rabstitutes for jute bagging, so that there can be no pos? sible lois wheo ?he next season opens. In this warfare, and all others that are to follow, differences as to organiza? tions mast not hinder, but all efforts should be co-operative and united. Ouly one trust bas been attacked ; there are others, even more hurtful. The 'Cotton seed oil trust' following the example of the 'Standard oil trust' bas made millions of unrighteous money from one of the best products of Southern farms. There is a mine of wealth in the cotton seed of the State. Year after year they are carted from our fields, at less than half their value, to enrioh others, who have united their means and their efforts tc prevent the just valuation of our products. It is for farmers to say whether or not this trust shall stand. Farmers cannot build oil mills, as yet, to make the most of this product, but they can withhold their seed, under united action, until they are offered full value in the mar? kets. All these ill gotten gains are mak? ing barren our fields, drying up the re? sources of legitimate wealth and weak? ening the very best elements of our strength. The times demand united, determined action on the part of farm? ers. Individual opinions must be sur? rendered to the agreed policy of the majority, and all working together, mast seek to recover Southern agricul? ture to the independence and power it deserves. If farmers will but rise to the possibilities now io their power, they will be equal to the emergency and the crisis in the history of their oppression will be passed. A University View of it. Greenville News. 'The University Carolinian/ a maga? zine issued by the students of the South Carolina University, prints an article strongly favoring the removal of the agricultural annex from that institution and its use as a nucleus for the estab? lishment of a separate agricultural col? lege, should the farmers wish such an institution. The writer declares that so far from being necessary for the life or prosperity of the University, the annex is a drag upon it, and that its withdrawal would increase the efficiency of the remaining departments, relieve the literary and scientific courses from the constant ad ditioDs of raw material and result in the raising of the standards for admis? sion. On the other hand it is frankly admit? ted that asan institution for agricultural education the annex is worse than a failure, its tendency now being to drive men from the farm by distracting their attention to other courses. We are told that in the present senior class of more than thirty there is but one student in agriculture and that the number of such students decreases steadily with the advance of the classes. It is refreshing to find such an indica? tion of progressive thought and com? mon sense io the interior of the institu? tion in behalf of which the fight against the Clemson bequest is supposed to be waged. If all the friends of the Uni? versity would be as frank and sensible they would relieve that institution of a sentiment against it which is being made more bitter and compact by the present policy of the State administra? tion and which promises to threaten its prosperity and its life. The farmers are not making war on the University and have so declared over and over again. But the friends of the University have been wantonly making war on the farmers and stirring them to resentment and retaliation. We hope ?he danger of that process will be understood in time. Actions Speak Louder Than Words. Charleston World. Not very long ago the Washington Press made some sneering allusion to the South Carolina mode of fighting. Why the Press should so continually allude to South Carolina we cannot im? agine. As it was stated that South Carolina left the bulk of the fighting to be done by other States, we will submit* some statistics lately brought to our atten? tion. Of the twenty-six Confederate regi? ments which sustained the heaviest losses in any engagement during the j late war, six were South Carolina regi i ments, four were Georgia regiments and four were from Tennessee, three from Texas, Alabama t?nd North Carolina, two from Virginia and one from Missis? sippi. Of the five regiments which sustain? ed the heaviest loss, the First Texas stands at the head of the list, with a j loss of 82 per cent, at the battle of i Antietam : the Twenty-first Georgia takes the second place, with a loss of 76 per cent, at the battle of Maoassas ; the Eighth Tennessee stands third, with a loss of 09 per cent, at the battle of j Stone River, and the Seventeenth and j Twenty third South Carolina stand res I pectively fourth and fifth at the battle j of Manassas, with a loss of 67 and CC ! per cent. ! The Eighth Tennessee went into i ! action 444 strong, and lost 306 in kill- ! ? ed and wounded ; the Seventeen'*! South j Carolina went into action with 284 j strong, and lost 189 killed and wounded ; In the light of these figures what be- j come* of the sneer of the Washington i \ Press? \ South Carolina is at peace now, but When she did fight, despite all sneers, | her sons were ever Sn the fore front. ! 9 i "near the flashing of the guns " "Better Be Sure Than Sorry " j .'I do not think there is need of cover? ing the flower-beds to night.

WATERLOO, IA., Jan. 26.-The ai? rest, a short time ago, of G. W. Pow ell, ex managing editor of the Minne? apolis Tribune, as a vagabond and common drunkard, at Chicago, has been the cause of some passing com? ment in the newspapers. But the true history in its details has not yet been given out. Miss Ellen Burnham, a beautiful, dashing brunette, an excellent musi? cian and a society belle, lived in Brodhead, Wis., where Powell met her about two years previous to the civil war. They fell desperately in love, were married, and lived to all appearances happily together for the following two years. Powell then enlisted in the United States army, his wife going to Washington, where she was visiting friends then living at the capital. She was spotted by the secret service, perhaps on account of her masculine appearance, as she had a slight mustache, strong limbs arid rather a heavy voice, but the form and physique of a perfect woman. On her way home she was arrested at Chicago, charged with being a rebel spy, and an anatomical exami? nation became necessary as a matter of investigation. This examination brought forth the fact, startling, os. well to Mrs. Powell, as others, that, instead of being a woman, 'she' was a man. For ever twenty years 'she* had supposed herself to be a woman, and for two years the apparently happy wife of L. W. Powell. Dr. Brainerd, of Rush Medical college, operated surgically on Mrs. Powell, aud after a few days convalescing she went forth attired in male cloth ing-a transformation more astound? ing than that of Dr. Jekyl add Mr. Hyde. The once beautiful and accomplish? ed Miss Burnham and Mrs. Powell now became Mr. Marc. C. Burnham. It is supposed that poor Powell never went to see his wife after the trans? formation. There were, of course, no offspring of the union. burnham, after being made a man, developed a full beard and mustache, moved to this city, with his parents, went into business, conducted a con servatory of music and managed an opera house. Ile was again married to a young lady with whom as a girl, he used to room at the seminary in Brodhead before the marriage with Powell. They lived here a number of years, were highly respected, and the opera bouse is still known as 'Burnbanks opeia house.' Burnham made an uncommonly handsome man, and his wife was one of the most popular ladies in the city. They left here four years ago for Southern California. Burnham can neither boast of being the father or mother of any children. - ? I 9 ? mm On last Friday morning Mr. A. E. Shannon was found dead in his bed at his mother's house in Kirkwood. It is thought that some disease of the heart caused death, as he was appar? ently io good health the day before. He had been here for about a month visiting his relatives, and was expect? ing soon to return to Portland Oregon, where he has been living for some time past. He leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his death.-Camden Journal. Z\st. Don't Experiment, Toa cannot afford to w?iste time in experi? menting when your longs nre ic danger.
