The swindling ami graft, all < which amounts to theft, pure an simple, in high places by high oll'u ials who are regarded ordinarily a being above suspicion, is all vcr humiliating to the people of a Stat whose ollieials have ever in the pa> borne the reputation of being th b'st. The stealing in the dispell stry operations, county supervisor and treasurers and now a >tat treasurer is perfectly alarming, an i !...? t,.w n,..i I I lit l\"? "lir IV.TI Vlltlt ll"H' ??*IC IUM CONSISTENCY. Consistency is an attribute rccog nized in heaven and on earth as redeeming trait of character in fra mankind, since consistency is priceless jewel. The inconsistent*, of some newspapers that arrcgat to themselves the credit of doin more to advertise the many advan tages of their home tt?wn and com munity is as paradoxical as the silt cess of failure or progressive set hack, in that these same paper publish to the world so far as thei limited circulation extends, in th most attractive and sensationa manner every business failure o financial trouble that overtakes an, p *rson or corporation that they luu hitherto been praising as induce incut for investment for those out side the territory, thus discount gin the very enterprises they had elaime< to further by judicious advertising Passing strange how forgetful w sometimes are of what we have sai in the past, thus causing a coined of errors, resnltincr sometimes in tragedy of results. NOT REDEEMED BY K. K. \ It is very true that the Ku Klu Klau as an orgainization did nt redeem the State from Radical, rei egade, carpet bag, negro rule i and it is none the less tn that this organization paved tl way to the successful redemption 1 a stubborn resistance of many in lawful and insufferable perpetr; tions and the rulers of that day hi came intimidated and frightem for fear of Ku Klux operations lx ing carried nearer headquarters an the heads of departments becon the victims. Certainly the K Klux put a stop to the burning < gin houses and barns in the Nortl ern counties of this State, and it is fact undisputed that a large major ty of the members of genuine (n< of the clandestine) Ku Klux Kin wore the red shirt. The operation of the genuine Ku Klux were d< signed to correct and punish on rages perpetrated hy those then i authority, whose acts had heen ii stigated hy the carpet hag ollicei of the State, and not like the elar destine Klan, for private vengeance the latter heing traitors, and di nothing to help redeem the Stat( as did the genuine, who wore tli red shirt. However the fear of tli Ku Klux had taken nossession < that class we most desired to ri the State of, and the red shii was regarded l?y them as a produc of the dreaded K. K.'s, thus mak ing the task of the red shirt easie of accomplishment. Mr. Thoma Dixon has the dates of reconstruc tion in South Carolina and her rea period of redemption somewhat eon fused; but in reasoning from caus jo final effect, the Ku Klux wcr 1 quite jx?teiit as a warning power of' what would come to pass if a change j was not made in the administration | of State affairs. The lirst organizar tion of the Ku Klux Klan was in I istis, when long processions of] j mounted men rode through the country, hut did nothing hut awe! and frighten, while the K. K.'s of t 1X70 operated in the night time exclusively and administered corporal 1 punishment and sometimes death. ^ We are satisfied that the determined spirit ?f the K. K. manifested in 0 those days toright our wrongs, was ^ in a great measure conducive to our .. success in 1X70. Jonesville Jottings. .r* October 10.?Two light frosts last week hut no sign is to he seen on ' crops or vegetation. A killing frost ^ would do hut little harm as most If everything is out of its way. Last week was very quiet in our - town but little cotton was put on the market. Farmers arc having - their cotton ginned and arc storing )f it at their homes and will keep it until the price goes to ten cents. Most of them are able to do this as they sold some cotton at ten cents is and paid their supply and guano y hills and now they are able to hold 0 the rest of their crop. .

V- j J KLKPIIONK. !,i | Lockliart Junction Locals. Lockliart, Oct. 1(5.?This has ' ! hccn a pretty fall for gathering the crops and the time has not heen u wasted around here. The farmers ,f will soon complete their work and the sowing of wheat and other grain will hegin before long. The cotton fields in many places present a black appearance and are >t , no longer white. Tin* crop will n ' soon he one of the past. It eeri tainly seems that if the farmers J will quit selling, they will secure better prices in the future, t" One of our most successful farmn ers, Mr. W. B. Fowler, worked this year an experimental farm, as it |>s were, in which he planted in the same field two rows of corn, two of j cotton, and one of peas, making '? J three crops on the same piece of d ground and making a good crop from each. Just now, he is sowing the same place in rye. " Messrs. T. E. Kelly and E.

Pant. before another year has dawned upon the life of the "Every Tuesday" club, death has entered our midst and summoned hence one of our most valued members, Mrs. Mattic Gage Fant. We deem it a high privilege to give some expression however inadequate, to our joy in her life, and our sorrow in her death. The life that has just closed, unfolded before us in constant relationship; we saw the beauty of goodness that shone out in each act and word, with such gracious charm of manner, the bright spirit, that was alwavs lvadv to cheer, the unselfish devotion to friends in kindly helpful interest. These noble qualities of heart were united in her with a clear and forceful intellect and wit and humor which shed a special radiance in her presence. She has left in our minds an image that can nefer fade, and in our hearts an influence that can not die. May wc not believe that the tender memory she has left with us here will add a star to her crown in the world to come. Her mission on earth is fulfilled and "How know we, what had need of her.'? He it therefore resolved, That though we bow in humble submission to the decree of an all wise and merciful power, that in the death of Mattie Gage Fant the Every Tuesday club has lost an earnest and eflicient member, and each of us a dear comrade, whose absence is sorely felt. That the above be placed upon the minutes of the club and also published in the city papers. Mrs. N. C. Portkk, Mrs. L. D. Millkk, Mrs. F. M. Duncan. ! In the death of our beloved member, Mi's. I*. E. Fant, nee Miss Mattie Gage, wo feel to have sustained as a club a most severe loss. Her personality was such as to .lend a peculiar charm, brightening each life she touched, while her gracious presence and refining influence in her beautiful new home made her indeed a queen. L. I).
