COURTS VS. LEGISLATURE. The Cotton Plant, the Organ of the Alliance, sustains Judge Beuet io bis position, regarding the courts not declaring laws passed by the legislative branch of the government, unconstitu? tional. We - are surprised that such should be the law. No appeal would stand ; no recourse for justice except to arms. The majority could perpetuate themselves io power forever, or at least until a bloody revolution should take place. Let us see what this carried to an extreme limit would mean. A majority, purchased or otherwise, could be elected and convene io General Assembly. A majority of them could pass a law disfranchising the minority. A split then taking place io the body itself the majority could expel? the minority-no appeal to the courts and the majority re the strongest.. Expul? sion could again and agin take place until two or three meo represented the State and could make the i*ws .fc>r the State, until expelled h^J^^ljiotrt. warrant of law. Woola not this coun? try he a'delightful place to reside ? Would it tot be a perfect elysium, and would nol earth be a veritable heaven, under those circumstances? Answer me, ye who can. > The Cotton Plant claims to be for "Eqaal rights - for all," but it has not had the intelligence to see, or the will to speak of the slavery which could be put upon the people, and perpetuated, if such dangerous precedent could be established. John Marshell, sitting in the Supreme Court of the United States, thought differently from Judge 1 Benet, so did Storey, so has every judge of prominence, in the history of our country, and by so thinking and actiog our system of government has been sus? tained and perpetuated against the theories of ail the nations of the old world, and we are to-day the model, after which other republies are model? ing and for which system other nations arni t?rowing off the yoke of monarchy. *Equal rights for all," is the motto of the Times- Equal rights for all, only to be obtained by the power of an appeal tof% ^tif?ftt jjfted out of the mud of partisan politic?. - The above editorial from the Flor? ence Times is brief, yet it is the most complete review of the remarkable charge to the Grand Jury of Richland County that ' has come under our observation. It brings sharply to mind the evil results that would follow the. general acceptance of Judge Benet's, views, and at the same time, shows how wholly repugnant to the American scheme of government such views are We commend this editorial to our readers for careful reading. The stockholders of the Southern Railway Company authorize the officers to place a" mortgage of $120,000,000 on that road and $4,500,000^ on the former East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road. L. C. Caooon struck a thio seam of gold bearing rock a few days ago io the Thompson mine that dazzled the eyes. What it will lead up to is not knowo but it was the richest specimen ever exhibited here It was ascertained to be worth about $52,000 atoo - Carolina Spartan. Chief State COD s ta ble Holley Jias made quite a haul io Charleston. At the railroad depot there, he reports, he seized twenty-six barrels of whiskey and thirty-nine large boxes of beer. Constable Ch appel le, a few days ago, at Newberry, seised two barrels of whiskey at the depot, but they had no revenue ?tamps upon them and be bad to tura them ever to the United States authorities. Despite th? fact that many were very uneasy about Wofford's having a large opening this year, owiog to the grand opening of the South College, and to the fact that the boys came io very slow at first, there at least 125 students on the campus and a few more are ex? pected. While Wofford's forty-first opening is not quite as bright and it has beeo for the past few years, yet we are not discouraged and look forward to a prosperous year's work. The Fitting School really opened better than was expected, as there are to many prepara? tory schools io the State. Between forty-five and fifty students have al? ready enrolled and a few more will probably come. There is BO medici oe so ot ten needed io every borne and so admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is intended, as Cham? berlain's Paio Balm. Hardly a week passes bot some member of the family has need of it. A toothache or headache may be cured by it. A touch of rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The severe pain of a barn or scald promptly relieved and the sore healed in mach less time that wheo medicine has to be j sent for. ? sprain may be promptly treated I before iofiamation sets in which insures a ; cure in abont one-third of tbe time other? wise required. Cuts and bruises should re? ceive immediate treatment before the parts become swollen, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at band. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes serious. A troublesome corn may be removed by ap? plying it twice a day for a week or two. A lame back may be cured and several days of valuable time iiaved or a pain in the side or chest relieved without paying a doctor bill. Procure a 50 cent bottle at once and you will never regret it.

Poor farmers ! what will become of us". will cotton bring a better price later, or will it go to five cents or lower? How are we to pay oar debts, and how will we get supplies another year? Hard times and worsea'comin' is the cry everywhere. Nothing to break the monotony. About every man you meei, even the women and children are complaining of the hard, hard times. No money to go shopping with. There are the little one?, all are to be warmly clad for the winter, and the mother, she is doing all she knows to help ber toiling husband to save something ; to ecommize-even to making the child's cloth? ing of. its father's old pantaloons, cutting off the few buttons that may be left on the old man's trousers to put on thefboy's everyday breeches, anxiously awaiting the harvest time and hoping that he will get at least 6 ! cents for cotton, so she can go the pretty I little city of Sumtar and purchase some \ necessaries for household use-a sew suit for the little boy, dresses for the baby and for herself-well, we don't know what ail! and ; now at this place the best offered for cotton i is 5?, with a prospect of going lower, sure to go lower with a ten million bale crop, bow can we figure otherwise ? surely the way of the farmer is hard. The question is can we make cotton at 5 cents and buy corn at 60c. and bacon at 12c. on 4vto 6 months credit, paying the merchant say, 15 per cent, to 20 per cent, on the dollar profit on supplies and from 8 per cent, to 15 per cent, interest on total amount put in for. Can we keep on doing this and make money ? We koow men in our neighborhood who buy corn every year and bacon, too, and have been getting further in debt every year. Now is tbis bad farming-bis not making enough colton on bis farm io pay for this coro and bacon ? Can the farmers of j this country get at any thing now that will j pay them better than the production of cot? ton and giving the merchant alien on that cotton for supplies to mu tham'tbrough the year? The average farmer, ?ffpems, knows nothing about aoy other crops (or bas not put it in practise yet in this. State) that be can get ready money tor at harvest time to pay such debts. In the first place, be cannot get supplies on anything but a cotton crop, and ?! be mortgages bis stock and real estate \o raise money, nine cases, out of ten his property is sold at public outcry if he trys to lift the mortgage with proceeds of his cotton crop. We woald like to see something turn up to help the farmers especially, theo all other branches bf industry would flourish, and it is hoped we would be a happy people and quit kicking. Mr. J. C, Lanham, of Summerton, bas been here for some time assisting Mr. David Levi with his business. Mr. F. W. Symnus, editor of the St. Georges Netcs if as here a few days ago. Mr. Moses Levi, of Manning was here to? day buying cotton. "SAXTEE." The Tax Levy. The following is a copy of the official notice of Treasurer D. E. Keels.

The Home Product Co-operative Life As? sociation of Sumter is going right ahead and is likely to extend over the couotry. Mr. A. G. Warren, the agent of the association in? forms us that they have twelve solicit? ing agents in this county and that they expect to write policies in 60 days. Two agents are at work getting up a circle in Clarendon County; two came from Florence to get the agency for that county-Capt. Frank Welch, the old A. C. L Conductor, and Mr. J. T. Jones, an old insurance agent. They have gone to work to get up a circle there. And one was in the city from Darlington to get the agency in that con a ty. So there is no doubt about getting up the organization. -- i^m - - Notice S. L. I. The Annual sermon will be delivered by Rev. J. W. Daniels, at Methodist Church, Sunday night Oct. 14 at 8 p. m.
