Our Contemporaries. The Exodus and Immigration, Prosperity Press'. The statement that ?0.000 white aatids wasted tc- leave Illiuois for JSfortb Carolina is f>aiu to be strictly correct. ?t is further stated that the farmers are making openings for a great many of theta-, and that if the negro? eiodus continues ail negroes wril bte' replaced with white labor on the far ss. After awhile the negroes will foam io tbe schoo? of experience how well the whites can get along without them, and witt be constrained to acknowledge, possibly wheo too late to be of benefit, Cbtrt their best friend's are i& the So?&er? States. ?aite Democratic. Barnwell Sentinel. The action of the mistress of the White House io discharging all colored servants and supplying their places with white labor has throws consternation among colored people in every quarter and established Mrs. Harrison as a bet? ter democrat than can be found in many Southern towns. Tb?s course is not ap: to make. Mrs. Harrison very popular with the extremist of her husband's party BOT is it calculated to cement the affections of the colored race in any .part erf the Uuion to the new adminis? tration. Prior to 187$ it would have Been considered a death blow to Mr. Harrison's future for bis wife to bave acted tu this mariner towards repr?? sentatives of a then very important ele fienC. But as we have before said the administration owes tbts edment noth? ing and can run its course if desired more as an independent patty than as an eld Simon pure Republican turnout. And stich a course would be the thing to give general satisfaction to ali sec? tions of tbs Station. Who Elected Harrison. Wilmington Siar.

Down With High Tariff. Louisville Courier-Jour nd. In New Jersey, in Philadelphia, in j Connecticut, in all the manufacturing ; cities the Democratic party made no-1 ticeable gains. The lost- only where j tepidity prevailed and where this timid- j ity enabled tue Republicans to intro-1 doce sectional issues and fan hatred. ? It was this narrow and bigoted feeling j of distrust, joined to the use of money contributed by the "robber barons,*' ; which led to the defeat of Mr. Cleve- j fend, and not the earnestly, manly, ag-1 gresstve battle for reform waged ?>y the leaden of the Jeffersonian Democracy. ! Down with the war tariff ! That Peculiar Fire Alarm. Darlington yews. The Sumter Watchman and South ron comments humorously upon the j methods now employed to arouse the j citizens of Darlington in the event of I a fire, and affords our worthy ' City j Fathers" some excellent food for ! thought. That estimable journal is j mistaken, however, in asserting that when a fire breaks out, the leading ci ti- ?? Zens of the town raise their front win- i dows and discharging .their p'stols in j tbe air. No, indeed; the leading etti- j cens of the town, who have proper re- ; -gard for the walfare of their lives and j limbs, retire to their residences with ? their families, and shat all the doors and windows, for fear some stray bullet ; may seek them out ; the firing is dose by -the "bip-pocket" fellows, a perfect army of which gallant gentlemen in- j fest our town. j Graded Schools. Columbia Register. The Abbeville Press and Barnier j gives several reasons for its belief that the graded school cannot be a permanent aoeces8. Against any theory that may | be advanced on this subject may be ar- : rayed the numerous facts furnished by ; the experience of graded schools all : over the United States-we might say i all over the world. As long as these j institutions continue their spleudi? work i in behalf of popular education and the ? elavation of the masses, it would seem | idle to inquire why the graded system . is or may be a "failure.'' The Scalawag HecOid. We have read the Records argu? ment for scalawags. It is a scalawag argument for scalawag existence. If a man be emulous of scalawag j honors, we see no way of preventing it. '. but for heaven's sake let him refrain ? from profaning thc name of the imiuor- ! tal Cajhoun by associating his name in j thought, word or deed with this modem breed of cattle. Going Barefoot That we May Have Shoes When we are Dead. Abbeville Press and Balkier. A few weeks ago a number of papers in this State began to make war on in? vestments in life insurance. SOUK; ; went so far as to s-3y tiiat purchases of policies were co better than the usual donations to the Louisiana Lottery. One fact is, however, more influential than an abundance of such philosophy. ] and we commend te such brethren the information that Mrs Dawson received, four days after the death of ber hus? band, a check for twenty thousand del? lars, in payment of a policy taken <>ut three weeks before, and on which or?!y one premium had been paid.-Barn? well People. Where is moral in the fact, that Dawson received ?20.000 four day* after the death of her husband? Does ; it teach that there is a fatality attending the act of insuring one'? life ? Is it in? tended by the carly payment--almost before the insured is buried-to create the impression that ail policies are as promptly paid ? We can eife many cases where the insured forfeited his . payments. Ooe young man in this community bought a lottery ticket, about a year ; 8go Ile promptly received ?2.000 in return. What does that prove 'i We can cite other cases where men have been buying lottery ti'-kets all their lives, and haven't drawn a cent in re? turn. We can call the names of men, who are financially embarrassed, that spent large sums in life insurance years 8go. Abbeville county, fifteen yean* sgo, went erazy on life insurance, and . icppnt perhaps half-million foolishly. If men would pay their debts, or drpot?t their surplus money in banks, instead of gaiubliog against insurance companies aud the Louisiana State Lottery, they would live more happily, and their fam? ilies would be more comfortable-uo matter whether they were dead or alive. The idea that men should go barefoot ic order that they cray have shoes when they are dead, should give place to bet? ter seutiment. Why Not Change the Label ? The Augusta Chronicle says : ; The South needs protection for her I development. She needs government I appropriations for iuternal improve ? menu, * * * for subsides- to I Southern steamship lines * * * f and for all other honest and legitimate i purposes where it (money) can be ex ! pended for the benefit of the people, and where private corporations, and ! States even, are ?nable by -hemselves to undertake and perfect enterprises of national importance. Ail these are j embraced in the policy of President Harrison, as outlined in his address. Thereupon the Charleston Neics cud Courier remarks that this Is the repuUican policy, plainly and flatly restated by the bead of the repub? lican party and accepted by that party without question. It is directly ia the I face of the democratic principles, as ! outlined in the platform of 2884. It ?9 I the policy which, as said in the closing ! words of that platform, has surreu j dered to other nations, "along with our ; commerce the onfroi of the markets of ! the world." It is the distinctive policy ! of the republican party of to-day, and, I in expressing its pleasure and satisfac j tien in the renewed declaration of that 1 policy by the President, the Chronicle has sard 3l? that could be said on the same subject by the most ardent repub? lican newspaper. That is all right and true, but what does our Chariest^ contemporary mean wheo it adds : 4'The Chronicle declares that it is not a republican newspaper, and we still hope that it will never be? come one ?" Surely when a voter or a newspaper approves aud urges republi? can policies everybody ought to desire that he or it should take the republican name. '"The Chronicle is not a demo? cratic newspaper," says the Xetrs and Courier. Why then hope that it will never hoist the republican flag, which it defends ? Let us have open fighting and not bushwhacking -JV. Y. Herald, \ April 5. Kershaw News. Frike Wa:cree' Messer,ctr. The Lancaster Board of County Commissioners and the Kershaw Board met at Kershaw on last Thursday to j take steps towards establishing the ! county line, and to discuss the matter in a general way. They came to the j conclusion that the best thing to do would be to get a surveyor from Lan? caster county and one from Kershaw to j make two surveys if necessary, one to ; begin 10 chains above Harrison's Ford and the other at Harrison's Ford. ; Shouid the two surveyors thus ap- ! pointed be unable to agree on any point then they are to have the power to call ! in the third surveyor. If after making i this survey should both counties bc satisfied with the result, then the Leg- j isiature could confirm what they had j done, otherwise the Legislature wili j have to be called upon to establish the j line. From a fupposeJ mark at Ker- | shaw of the county lino, the lown will , be about equally divided. Barring ; this mark, however, it is doubtful as to j where the line will be. Mr. and Mr. A. M.

I The Big Pine Straw Combine. A Matter of Great Interest to Farmers. The pioe bagging patents are owned by five men, three in Wilmington, N. j C., one in Atlanta and one in Columbus, j Miss. The thres men rn Wilmington 1 composed the Acme Company, which began the manufacture of pint: bagging last year. A. E. Thornton cf the At? lanta Cotton Oil Mills, and M Frank j of the Cotton Oil Mills at Columbus, j Miss , have bought an interest in (he j patents, aud the new syndicate has I built a ?arge ncr mill at County, ! N. C . which will turn ont ?,500,090 to ! 2,000,000 yards of bagging a year, j The Acme Manufacturing Company i produced last year about 400,000 yards pf bagging. The plant wa8 burned ?some time last fall, and they have just completed a rarge one, which w:ll be ; ip operation next week, when a test ! will be make in the presence of the j ubre experts from different parts of the I country end one from Dundee. Mr. : Thornton emphatically denies shat the j i Standard Gi! Company is in any way j ! connected with the enterprise. 'We propose,' said he 'to conduct an j f independent business. We do. not pro- j j pose to fight the Hagging Trust, but if j j they should fight us we f< el that we can j maintain ourselves as long as we can j f sell our two pound bagging for seven j I and a half cents at the mills wherever! j they may be located in the pine belt of j I the Southern States, We can make a j I fair manufacturer's profit at that price. ? j It wiri take about ?200,000 to erect a j 'two miiiioo-vard mill and furnish one- I rating capital. This will make about | j $150,000 wot th of bagging a year, and j the profit, we estimate, will pay 20 per j cent, on the investment. We simplv ! want a fair manufacturer's Drofit, and we j have calculated that seven and one-half j cents a yard will cover that. If the j ; jute combination-for it is not a trust j should fight us and pul bagging below ! the price we can afford to *ell at we I would simply stop manufacturing pine j j bagging tiil it put jute back to a remu- j j uerative price.

The Jute Bagging Robbery.; i The farmers ought ly this time to : j see how very hostile to their interests I I is a Protective Tariff, and particularly j ; such a monstrous instrument of iniquity . I as the present Republican War Tariff, j j Take the Jute Bagging Trust. Last 1 I year it swindled the Southern cotton i raisers out of several millions of dollars. I j This year they are repeating the same ! I wicked and rascally game. It is said ! ? that it will be S3ti>n"d this year with i \ only three million dollars extra. Its ; ! magnanimity and delicate consideration . [of the farmers* interest is something: i marvelous to behold. When Lord ! Clive was accused of having appropri- | ated certain millions of dollars to his I own use while in control of India, his i reply was that, in view of the stupen- i deus riches surrounding him and the j small sum he took he becomes astound- : ed at hi.- own moderation. So the \ B:iggi: g Trust no doubt is amazed at [ its own merciful forbearance in not ; taking more than it has done while un- j <ier the enormous TatiiT they might have been so much more rapacious. That Bagging Trust is truly a grand j example of ?orboarance. But Ut ir be remembered that but for the truly infa? mous Tariff this Trust would not exist, much less flourish hy robbery. The death i of Trusts would follow the reduction of] the present Tariff to a live and let live j basis. Cut down the Tariff tax to j n<U more than 18 per cent -about the ; Walker Democratic Tariff before the : war when the country nourished as ir never did before and had not done sin^e ; -or let if be reduced to the S per cent, i of Washington's Tariff that Pennsyl- : vaman legislators desired to celebrate, j and the Jute Bagging and other robber ! trusts would die at once.- Wilmington \ Star.

Water Tight Match Box Wanted. Bishop, who made a thousand mile voyage in a naper canoe, says that R. B. Forbes, of Boston, onco gave him a water tight pocket match box, that he lost it, and was never able to Hud an? other. Thousands of hunters, canoeists, and others have hunted and longed for a match box that would be water tight -one that would preservo its contents dry even though tho owner was com? pelled to take a swim with thc box in the pocket of Iiis pants, and the pants on the swimmer. An upset in tho wilderness or on tho coast, away from dwellings, often destroys every match a man has with him, and places him in a position of great danger. Though match boxes are made in in? numerable styles, wc have never been able to lind one which was suitable for carrying matches in tho pocket and would at tho same time protect them from water. There are some difficulties in the way of inventing such an article, because when carried in tho pocket the air within the box is rarefied by thc heat of the body. When the box is plunged into cold water a partial vacuum is formed, and this aids in forcing water through thc joints.-Scientific American. Napoleon. Tlie duke said: "After tho retreat of Bonaparte from Leipsic, ho never, in fact, had any hope of getting over his bad fortune. Mole, then minister of war, told mo that shortly after Napoleon's re? turn at that time to Paris he was playing at billiards with lum when he became thoughtful and, laying dow;-. Iiis cue, be? gan talking to him of the impossibility ov ever reviving the spirit of the nation suf? ficiently to expel the northern powers. Had these reverses, he said, occurred in the first days of the republic, there would have been a freshness of spirit that might have saved the game, but that spirit was how worn out and never could a?;ain be expected to revive. Yet, with this de? pressing conviction upon his mind, ho went through his wonderful cam;?sign of Champagne with an activity perhaps un? paralleled in his former wars." Tho dukes invariable comment on Napoleon was- "He was not a gentleman.''-Per? sonal Recollections of Lady de Ros in Murrav's Magazine. Two Smart Maine Women.
