We are glad to see that at lasl
Monument to the noble Confed
dead of Samter District will no to
be parsed bj in silence, cor be u
lated, as it. baa Ja past years,
monument records the names of
loor hundred who fell on battle I
and in hospitals from Gettysbur
Galveston. Many lie in unknown
unhonored graves, nor ean their sa
ashes be brough t back to ns. Bot
devotion of mothers and wifes, sit
nod toreros bas erected sw im po
granite structure with the names ol
those who died daring the war, i
Sumter County, inscribed on mai
It wHl how be surrounded and prote
by a heavy ornamental iron fence,
hundred and sixty feet around, i
sight heavy posts, and all resting
iron bases two feet in the groo
The lettering bas been renewed and
whole monument will be cleaned off.
We learn from Col. Blanding, i
bas been Chairman of the Execot
Committee since the inception of
work, that the fencing and work i
cost about {325, and has been p
for out of the $400 which, the trust
of the Graded School gave for the le

CONCI.BNING CANNING
PACTOBIBS.
Our esteemed brother, Hngh Wilso
of the Press and Banner, handles tl
canning industry pretty roughly in h
last issue. On an average he say
**We make peaches about one year, i
four or five. We have a few appi
trees scattered over the county. W
bave blackberries in abondance and ?n
good wim eas take care of these fruit*
in their reason, in sufficient quat.title
to supply her owo wants. As a matte
of fact, our people do not raise turnip
and cabbage for their own use," an
winds op with the remark tbat whei
xjeople get cotton on the brain, they ar
not goiog t fool with vegetables ant
canning factories. These are wholsom
truths advanced iu the writer's owt
forceful and original style.
We confess our ignorance on the sub
ject of canning factory statistics
While on a visit to North-west Alaba
mu in 1889 we saw a large two storj
brick building bai it on the banks of the
Tenaefcee River, an immense engin*
was put up and a canning fe et or)
?tarted, os a large scale. It was a gooc
fruit year bot vegetables in that neigh
borhood, were not plentiful, and thc
factory, whether owing to this fact, ot
bad management, did not pay expenses
the first year.
A canning factory is no big enter?
prise, tn any respect The good done
a community by its establishment would
be comparatively small, bot an industry
of this sort, or of any sort, is a step iu
the right direction, lt would serve to
show that the people are alive to some,
thing, a straw perhaps to show where
the ?ind blows
It strikes us as being rather anoma?
lous our people sending North for can
goods that are manufactured almost at
their doors. There cao be no question
that there ts a very good market for the
goods Oar climate is certainly well
adapted as that of any State, we know
of, for tbe isitting of fruits and vegeta?
bles. lt is true, at times, it is a trifle
eccentric and our fruit crop is destroy?
ed, bot the same care and attention
bestowed on fruit trees and vegetables,
as is directed to cotton, will supply any
number of canning factories with all the
material needed. The profit oo such
goods may be small bot it pays Northern
merchants to ?end Sooth for them and
re-ship them down here to customers, it
would seem that it ought to pay dealers
who bandle them here on the spot.
Even if they sold almost at cost-it
would be a satisfaction to know ?bat au
impulse of thrift bad been givjn-** s
products of tbe soil utilised and a num?
ber of the poor pee '* in a conj inanity
given emptayment. v egetables supply
the principal esa goods and if they con?
n?t be raised here in Sooth Carolina,
on account oi the climate, where on j
earth we would like to know caa they j
be raised ?
At the risk of being considered an j
idle dreamer, and as one exhibiting evi?
dences of lunacy, we have thrown out
hastily tbs above suggestions, in tbe
hope that they may save our deluded
brethren who have got cotton on the
brain and are fast becoming mono- \
maniacs.

PROSPECTS.
From present prospects, the Be mc ci
tic party is as much at loss for a cane
date, as were the Kepoblicaos io '8
The Tarions party leaders are pul! ii
this way sud that, now it is Gonna
then it is Hill or Pattison, or Palmer,ai
onee it was Cleveland, aod he still h
hosts of supportera over the country. T
great objection to Cleveland is, be is
painfully honest, entirely too mach so,i
the Tammany tribe, as wei} as for t
new rival of Tammany for the dictate
ship of American politics. Hence M
Cleveland may not be a President
possibility-he m-Jy be ?nally laid aw.*
on the shelf, because be was a state
man, for this is the day, of politician
Statesman are at a discount, aod i
stripes of politicians are in heyday gio:
-ward politicians, wool-bat political
and pre-eminently that distinctly m
dern production, the lawyer-farmer-A
liance reform politician, is lux uri a tir
in the present b?n?ficient smiles of fo
tune, and is smacking his lips ov
prospective plums when the rascals
tbe present "unfaithfui horde of blacl
legs'1* who have "so shamelessly sqna
dered the people's money**-shall ha*
been turned out, the bouse has bee
swept and garnished, and they hat
each hunted np seven other rascals eac
worse than himself, aod have take
possession of tbe dear people's govert
ment. Bnt we digress; we were gc
ing on to say that since Mr. Clevelan
is out of the race, and as Hill cannr.
obtain the support of Cleveland's friend
in New York, he will be out of the rac
also.
Now tbe nf xt best roan after Cleve
land would undoubtedly be Palmer o
Illinois, even though he is now some
what old, but when we remember wba
other men eren older than he have ac
complibhed, that objection sinks oat o
sight.
Palmer is well known in the grea
West which decides each time wboshal
rule this country. For many years w<
have not bad a President wbo did no!
hail from the great grain region of tht
West, Kveo Clevelaud himself cami
from its Eastern border. We may as
well recognize tbe law that the Presi?
dent must come from the neighborhood
of the center of population, and select
some acceptable man from that region
as our candidate.
Again, Palmer will be acceptable fo
nil classes of men, of democratic princi?
ples, excepting of coarse the rabid ex?
tremists who sraod so erect for certain
principles-that are, perhaps, no princi?
ples at all-at opposite extremities of
:he party that they lean backward. He
is fully in touch with those who demand
beneficial changes in the financial poli?
cy of ike government that are greatly
needed. Still be is not one of tbose
who are blindly advocating some wild?
cat measures for instant relief, lie in
i thorough ta-iff reformer, of the same
school as Cleveland, and under bis ad?
ministration we tunuld see (be good
work done by Cleveland carried out.
With Palmer as our candidate, and
a
be proper platform, the Democratic
party will be sure to triumph. He can
ye elected without the assistance of the
Sew York vote Palmer for tbe plant
og interests aud prosperity, and if the
people be not joined to their idols they
will rally to bis support.
THE MAFIA AFFAIR.
In refreshing contrast to what seve?
ral leading Southern dailies have bad
to say concerning the finding of tbe
??ew Orleans grand jury, charged with
investigating tbe late massacre of ital?
ian born citizens for complicity in the
murder of Chief Hennessy, is the fol?
lowing from the Acic York Herald of
May 6th. The report of the Grand
Jury was substantially to the effect that
they declined to indict tbe men who
lcd the mob in their attack on the par?
ish prison, believing that their action
could not be classed or considered as co?
incident with lynching, but was a move?
ment of the people for their own safety :
**Yon cannot indict a whole people
Such was the happy expression of
Burke. The sentiment wa" echoed by
the Grand J ?ry in New Orleans yester?
day.
That body of public spirited citizens
bas devoted s?x wetks toa thorough, im?
partial investigation of the popular out?
break iu the Crescent (/itv which has !
riveted the attention of the civilized
world.
It Suds no indictments against the
actor?, in the tragedy of March 14 Its
verdict is that the outbreak was not
mob violeuce, tut a popular uprising.
It was uot criminal, but ju>tifiahle-a
movement of the people for their own
S?feiy
"Hence Purkersoo and his associates !
were not executioners of lyne!) lav?
They were leaders of the masses, risen
to mete out justice to assassius who had j
escaped merited punishment only j
through intimidation and corruption of j
the jury that ti ted them. The doings vf
that memorable day were tbe acts of the !
people, and as Burke has said, you can- j
not indict a people. They wereapproved j
hy the ornum unity, and what the com- !
munity approves cannot be criminal.
This is the conclusion reached and !
officially announced by the Grand Jury !
airer tbt?r?ugh investigation and care
fal consid?ration of ali ?ho facts. Its
researches prove the existence of thc j
notorious M; b; : that it is a secret orga- !
-alsation of Italians and Sici ians driven i
as criminals from their own. country; .
that these foes of human society were 1
banded ro<j.??hpr brr?* as conspirators
armed with dags/ers ?nd stiletto! s for
assassination; thar th^'r t??e<?id \a d*m?i- .
ed by a long ?ist of bl. od ouwiiiog !
orimes; that they have menaced life and
terrorized the community.
Th? m ?un ?2 Itt assassination of Chief
of Police Hennessy v-?s a cr?tut of
un parale led atrocity. .Bur. even in the
face of that great provocation the
citizens of New Orleans waited patiently
for tbe law to take its us*ial course.
They waited for justice to bc doue 1 y
an impartial jury.
f^flt was only 'when a verdict "start
Hog, amazing .?Bd shocking to public
opin?onr' had 'been announced, when
it was believed that the jury had been
terrorized and bribed by tbe accursed
Mana conspirators-a belief now shown
by the Grund Jury to have been well
founded-when it was evident that the
ordinary course of justice had failed to
punish the guilty and protect the inno?
cent-it -was only then that the people
took the law into their own hands and
remedied the failure of the tribunals of
justice. It was then that they resolved
not to surrender their rights to a secret
organization of Sicilian conspirators and
to strike down assassination for their
own safety.
That ?9 the verdict of the Grand Jury
which speaks for the people of New Or?
leans. It will be the verdict of the
American people and of the civilized
world, wherever the facts are known.
It is DO time to sermonize about mob
violence. AD uprising of the people is
Dot an outbreak of a mob. It is idle
to moralize about law and justice taking
their usual course. Safety ol the com?
munity is the highest law, and when
statutes and courts fail tbat higher law
reigns.
The New Orleans Grand Jury claims
for the people ofthat city all due respect
for the forms of law. "But," inaptly
says, "where this lofty principle is con?
temned by the practice of assassination
for revenge or spite, aod coDcealmeot
under the most binding oaths reuders
powerless the efforts of the law to reach
the chief actors and to secure witnesses,
it becomes the duty of the people in the
exercise of their sovereign rights to is?
sue their decree of condemnation."
That has been done in New Orleans.
The Mafia, instead of the community, is
now terrorized. The lives of law abid?
ing citizens are safer there. Justice
has been vindicated by the people.
The disease called for the cure. The
end justifies the means.
Letters m the Maxcy Case.
We publish the following letter from a gen?
tleman who lives near the scene of tbe Maxcy
murder, io which he desires to correct some
statements in what we bad ro say io reference
to the matter last week. We had no intention
whatever of making it appear that lhere was
any combination between Mrs. Maxcy and the
colored people to prosecute Allbright. lt
was our information that the colored people
bad paid a portion of the expenses of the
prosecution. "R. C. R." says such is not the
rase.
We also print Mr. C. C. Habenicht's letter
in respect to Allbrigbt's character.
PROVIDECB, S. C., May 8, 1891.
Mr. Editor: In jour issue of May 6th,
under the head of '"The Maxcy Mulder,"
there are several incorrect statements, and
you were misinformed in respect to the one
reflectinz .upon Mis Maxcy, ' It has been
stated that Mrs. Maxcy and some of the col?
ored people in the community have paid the
expenses incident to the working np of the
case leading to the arrest ?nd probable prose?
cution of Allbrigbt." This is not the fact.
Mrs. Maxcy paid a portion of the expenses,
but has never received a cent from anybody.
Joe Allbright was suspected from the be?
ginning ?nd we have done all that we could
to secure evidence. We want him to have a
fair trial; the evidence must go before a jury,
and ail we WHnt is fair play. His wife is not
sick, and lives near her father and brothers,
and a month or two separation has occurred
before.
There has been fonnd "no long hole resem?
bling a grave," and the gun supposed to have
been used in the sheening has been in Mr. J.
P. Wilson's possession, since four days after
the murder.
Capt. Maxcy did not ??ll twenty biles of
rotten or a single bale for at least a week
before he WHS murdered.
'.A large majority of the people" propose
to wait until the evidence is made public be?
fore declaring or expressing an opinion bj
implication. Mis. M?x? y bas employed coun?
sel to assist the Solicitor, upon advice of
Capt C R Williamson and myself,' which
we oelitve she has the right to do

BRAVBB DAM, May 8, 1891.
News is very dry in this section of country.
We are needing so int cf the rain that we had
to spare some time tack. I believe, if the
weather had not been so cool, we have had
?coti^h rain to briny 'he cotton np, but after the
?howers, it would clear off cool, with an Etsi
wind, and cotton will nwt come up nor grow
during these cold snaps, so there is a goori
teal of cotton that is not up, and will not
come up until it rains. There are very few
farmers that have good stands. The oat crop
will be a failure without rain soon ; Spring
ants especially. Corn is looking very well
fxcept in some places lhere are bad stands
G-.rdens are also in need of rain.
Mr. Eli tor, I notice most of your corres
pnrHen's say that the fairoers are loot'ing
forward for big crops this year I do not see
what grounds they base their hopes upon.
It is very seldom th?t we have two good crop
yetrs together, and we have had two in suc
res^ton, thu? it is very unlikely we will have
* third one. It is unieasonahle to suppose so,
from tbe fact that the Seasons, for the last two
>ears have bc en hit,ii, so it is reasonable to
suppose that the Und is exhausted One
heavy crop will exhaust ??nd, so if we hnve
good seasons we can bot expect an ordinary
crop this year, without extra manuring; and
that we have not. Ii is true we have bought
a good deal of so c?i)led guano, but I upa
afraid we haven't much manure after all.

A Burial Association.
?lr. Editor: I, in common I presura?, with
other ministe? of the city, hare been im?
pressed from time to time by tbe importance
of having an Association to provide for the
decent interment of persons haring no suffi?
cient means of their own for that purpose.
It frequently occurs that a person dies in the
city limits, and the expenses of burial are
borne either bj- a few ?bo give voluntarily
for that purpose, or by the city itself A
visit to the place of residence of such a person,
generally discloses a condition of abject want,
discomfort and distress, that are most painful
to any one who has a heart of sympathy in
bis bosom. Sickness is bad enough under
any circumstances, even when weahh and
friends and all the alleviations of tender and
skillful nursing abound, bat when not one of
these aids ia present, the case is indeed pitia?
ble. When death comes to such, probably
after weeks of illness, it ?nds them and their
relatives absolutely bereft of means to pro?
vide deceni interment. The County does not
provide for the interment of anj except those
who die in the Poor House. The City does it,
bar, naturally, under protest. Everybody,
even the poorest and lowest in the social
scale, has feelings that can be hurt, and at a
time like tbat, when the dead body of their
loved one lies unburied in the honse, there id
a conscious desire that it shall have decent
burial. To have to make a direct appeal to
the authorities to provide the means of burial,
is to brand the dead as a pauper, and the
living as in the sume condition, brought to
it, very likely, by the fact that they have
been compelled to cease wor in order to
minister to the dead one in his or her
last illness. There are some, no doubt, who
think that the poor and lowly are not entitled
to have feelings, or to' have those feelings
respected by others, but no one who recog?
nizes the law of love as supreme-the Chris?
tian, the Jew, the Mason, the Knight of
Pythias, or whatever other order he may be a
member of, that holds to and abides by the
golden rule, will deny that in such a case as
we have been considering, that royal law bids
bim do to others as he would be done by. If
so, he will respect the natural fi-elings of
the poorest and lowliest in their hour of need, ?
and be moved to do what ha can to minist?r
to their want*.
Now, Mr. Editor, if these positions are
sound, the question arises, shall we whom
God ha3 blessed with better things, who are
removed away from and above the reach ot
want, tbe hopeless grind of such a life, the
daily contact with things that have in them
no quality of elevation and inspiration, stand
by, after knowing that such cases are frequent
in our midst, (to the truth of which ? hereby j
c?rt fy,) and let the city do what the Churches j
ought to do? The care of the poor, from the j
first da\? of Christianity, was a recognized
and regularly discharged duty on the part of
the Church, as he who runs may read in the
first chapters of the book of the Acts of the
Holy Apostles. Unless the Church is pre?
pared to go hack on its record in this respect
and turn this duty entirely over to the State,
considering that the paymeut of taxes to city
and couoty relieves church members from all
obligation to succor the poor and needy, it
seems as if we ought to do wrut we can to?
wards this charitable work of providing de?
cent interment for the poor in our midst.
By combination among Christians of all
names in the city, it can be done. Three
hundred persons giving ten cen;s per month,
would raise a fund of $360 per annum, which
would suffice to inter not fewer than twenty
five persons, providing a c( flin, grave, vehicle
to convey the Coffin, and one carriage, for
each occasion. Are there nat that many
Christians of all names in this city who will
contribute the price of a cigar, or a milk
sh:?kr, or two glasses of soda water, to such a
pjrpo>e? Are the pastois ready and willing
to co-operate' in this matter, and will they
present it to their respective congregations?
