WSDN3SSDAY, MARCH 14,1894. Chronicles of Zeracchaboam. 1. Aod it came to pass, that io the county of the great forests which are over against the river called Savannah, was found a mao of small understanding who was called Jobo. 2. New this John did dream dreams and did, moreover, io the greatoess of self-conceit, liken himself unto Arche? lans who did reign io the room of Herod. 3. Now aforetime this John did lift op his voice against Benjamin, the Till oanite, wheo he was but a poor tiller of '.?he soil. 4. However wheo Benjamin had risen op aod was like to become great, John did lay violent bold upon his nether garment, which hold is oot loosened unto this day. 5. Bot wheo it was voiced abroad that Benjamin would lay aside the scepter and cast his old shoes from bim, John did long exceedingly for them. * 0. Moreover be did go from place to place dilligently enquiring concerning the minds of the people, whether they wonid make him ruler io the stead of Benjamin. 7. And he did go eveo onto the hill country io the laod of his kiodred to address a couconrse of the people, thinking that through the acclamation of his kindred haply some might be led to believe that he was some great one. 8 Nevertheless, wheo the people had gathered together there came others also, who desired to reigo wheo the scepter had departed from Benjamin, the Tillmantte, * 9. And among the Bamber came one Samson, and with him a physician who was called William, who desired to contend with bim. 10. Theo did John lift op his voice and sound his trompet before him aod make promises to the people eveo more delusive than those of Bejamio io times past. 11. The kiodred aod friends of -Ioho did also make a great noise, but they deceived only themselves, for the sob tility of John was lopg since known onto the people. 12. Bot io the greatoess of ^ the aproar Samson was shorn of his strength aod straightway betook himself again unto his owo country aod repented bim that be bad trusted himself noto the mercies of Jobo. 13. The physician also did depart tn wrath resolving io his mind upoo the punishment of Joho wheo the day should be ripe ; while James who is called Tindal, did write ao epistle unto the "wool hats'* beseeching them to hearken only unto bim.-The State. ; _ ^^^^^ A Fine Showing for the South. BALTIMORE, March 6.-The location I of * ^ry cotton mill in the .Sooth with the comber of spindles aod! looms io each, was published io the Manu? facturers' Record this week. Tbe article states that io 1880 the Sooth had 161 cotton mills with 667,854 spindles. By 1?90 they had increased j io number to 255 mills with 1,766,553 j spindles. The Sooth oow has 406 ' mills with 2,763,879 spindles and 62.052 looms. Io addition to this the mills projected will have between 50,000 and 75.000 spindles. The increase in spindles last year was over 200,000. North Carolina leads in the nom ber of spindles, with 655,000 in operation io 1894, while Sooth Caro? lina leads in looms with 16,200. North Carolina has the largest number of mills, but as the majority of them arc . small, the aggregate number of their spindles exceeds South Carolina's by ! only 34,000. Georgia come third oo the list, with 566.000 spindles. The capital invested io cottoo manu factoring in the South has increased i from $21.976, 713 io 1880 to ?97,. ? 000.000 in 1894. Thirty-two mills j have reported their dividends for 1893, j the average being 8 8 per cent., in j addition to which most of them laid i aside a surplus for repairs or exten- j sions. Two mills paid 20 per cent. . one 18 per cent., while the others ranged from 12 1-2 to 4 per cent. First Liquor Pardon. Yesterday Governor Tillman pardon- j ed a man for the offense of violating the dispensary law. It was the first case of the kind since the law bas been in operation, and is likely to be the last ooe, from what the Governor said. The offeoder was Wm. E. Boy kia of Camdeo. He plead guilty in Camden on ! Tuesday to the violation of the law and was sentenced by the trial justiee to a fine of ?100 or imprisonment for thirty j days. It appears that he had been selling ! cider. He sold some to a constable, knowing foll well that he warned it to have it analyzed aod did not sell it with the intention of violating the law. The ; cider was analyzed aod found to contain a slight percentage of alcohol. On the advice of bis counsel, Mr. T. J. Kirk? land, he plead guilty when arraigned, j Mr. Kirkland came here, laid the facts ; before the Governor and obtained the j pardo?. Governor Tillman requests the an- j oouncement made that that be bas sent j instructions to all his constables to seize every drop of cider of any kind they j can find, and takes this method of notifying those who are selling it that j he intends to prosecute all who are handling it. He says the excuse of j of ignorance won't go aDy more.-The ; State March 8. The Direct Tax. WASHINGTON, March 7-An imper tant bill bas been introduced by Rep resentative Talbert of South Carolina, j to amend the act to refund to the States and territories the money collected j under the direct tax of August 5, 1861. It provides that money received from ? the sale of lands bid in for direct taxes I under the act of June 7, 1862, to col ! lect the direct tax on insurrectionary districts from the sale of lands under the Feeedman's Bureau act of July 16, 1896, and the act of June 8, 1862, shall be returned to the owners of the lands when they vere confiscated, or their heirs, and the same disposition made of receipts for rent of the land*. The beneficiaries are to give a release of all claims against the government growing out of these acts. The Secretary of the Treasury is to sell the bonds purchased from the proceeds of these re-sales and rents and apply the pro? ceeds to reimbursing the former owners, and money already pud to the States in j return for the sales under these acts, j are to be deducted from the amounts i due to applicants. All conflicting parts | to acts it is proposed to repeal Perhaps one reason why President W. D. Evans of the State Alliance is not a pronounced candidate for Gov erner this year is that his advice to the farmers to hold their cotton has been followed with and by a loss. His platform could not point with pride to his powers of prophecy.-The State. A bookkeeper io Columbia shows according to common sense bookkeep? ing based on the published figures of State dispenser Traxler, the net profits of the dispensary for its first six months are only $22,46*9.61 instead of $100. 000 as the report tries to make it ap? pear. Gov. Tilman is reported by the Atlanta Journal as saying that his constables are ordered to break open trunks whenever they suspect there is whiskey in them. Tue Governor is fixing to get some of his constables' heads broken open.-Newberry Ob? server. Bishop Duncan has announced that Rev. John C.
