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.

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?

Bishop Duncan has announced that
Rev. John C. Kilgo will have charge

he will also be recognized as the finan?
cial agent of " the college,-Spartanburg

4'Senator Irby is attending to his du?
ties at long range-having been at
home for the past two weeks. It would
be better for the people of the State if
be would leave them to exercise their
own judgment in State politics and
stay in Washington and help block tbe
efforts to prevent the passage of the
income tax being made by Senator Hill
and the other plutocratic Senators
from the East, and the cuckoot from
other sections.' No Senator who is
working for the people can afford to
be away from the post of duty at this
time."-Cotton Plant
