"Don't Like the Crowd"

One of the commonest reasons given for
their inaction by those who are indisposcd
to register, is that they "don't like the
crowd" They fear that they may be obliged
to stand in line for an hour or two, and
do not desire that anything unpleasant
should come between the wind and their
nobility
If it were only an individual matter every
man would have the right to do as he
pleased Ii Cotton & Co, Brief s. Son and
Grocery Bros. were the only persons to be
affected by the election Of PILLsBURY, these
highly respectable mercantile houses might
stay away from the polls and welcome. But
it is not thing in which any citizen should
regard his own likings or dislikings When
the success and welfare of forty thousand
people are concerned, it becomes the duly
the public du,y-of every man to bend ali
his energies TO advancing The common good:
and they who fail to do SO, for any private
reason, sin not against themselves alone,
but against every man, woman and child
within the City of Charleston.
The gentlemen who say that they never
have registered or voted, and never will
register or vote, surely do not reflect upon
the fearful responsibility which their con-
duct imposes upon them. a careful can
vass shows that the citizens candidates for
Mayor and ..ldermeu can be elected, if all
the white people will register and 60 early
to the polls. This is an indisputable fact,
aud we ask any man who for convenience
sake stays away from the polls, what would
be his feelings on the morrow of the cleo
ton if he found that P1LLsBuRY had won
the day sy trifing majority? Would he
not feel guilty of the death of his own fair
city? Would he not feel that it was through
him that poverty and want paraded the silent
streets? Would he not feel that it was
through him, and tnose like him, that
Charleston hal ben handed over for three
years to the rule ofthe ill-favored Radicals {?
Then would every man "who didu't Ike
the crowd" curse his own folly and neglect,
and when it was too late, vow that if the
opportunity were given him again he would
cheerfully do his duty.

Newspapers in Old Times.

At the convention of editors and prin-
ters in Vermont, a few weeks ago, Hon.
L. p. Walton, of Montpelier, made a
speech, in which he related his experience
in the newspaper business, and made the
following remarks concerning the way the
printer was paid when his father carried
on the business to which he succeeded !:
Il can remember one point in which /
sm very sure the printer Of 1920 had a
very great advantage over you of these
days, and that was in getting a more just
reward for their labor than you do. Not
that there was plenty of money in those
days-there was but little of it for time
[ can remember when there were but
two banks in the state. Money was not
plenty Now and then We got hold of a
pistereen, nine pence, or four pence-half
penny. But eau tell you what they did
get literally they got two cords of wood,
they got four bushels of corn, they got
twelve bushels of oats, and twenty four
bushels of potatoes, and sixteen pounds
of butter, for years subscriptian can
well remember when my fathers cellar
was half full of apples, enough to furnish
one half of the village of Montpelier
could they have them now. Why, he
bad to feed them to the hogs. Often he
had from six to twelve barrels Of cider at
time, enough wheat, rye, and corn to
fill large granary, yard filed with
eight feet wood, potatoes, aud vegetables
of every sort-quite different pay from
what we get now, but infinitely better
He could support his family, and supply
many of his ueighbOrs. You canuot 90

A Sad Occurrence.

On Saturday morning last an Irishmau
named Michael Coleman, for many year,
resident Of Maueh Chunk, came to his
death in a strangely sad manner. From
what we can gather of the circumstance,
of the case, it would seem that the de.
ceased, who was a bachelor and resided
by himself in little shanty adjacent to
the schates of the Lehigh Coal Il Nsyiga-
ton Company, was subject to eqileptic
attacks, ADD was seized with paroxism
while preparing his breakfast on the
morning mentioned, which muat have
been instantly fatal. When discovered
the body was lying so near the stove that
the head and face were considerably
burned. He was lsborer in the employ
of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany, and bad, we understand, accumulat-
ed some means By long life of indus
try and rugality.-M. c.. Gazette.

SWEET CIDER-To all lovers of this
excellent and really healthy beverage, |
have piece of useful information to give.
Cider, if taken when first made, brought
to boiling heat, and canned, precisely
as fruit is canned, will keep from year to
year without any change of taste. Canned
up in this way in the fall, it may be kept
half dozen years or longer, as good as
when first made. 1t is better that the
cider be settled and poured off from the
dregs, and when brought to boiling heat
The scum that gathers on the surface
taken off but the only preoauton ueces-
sary to the preservation of the cider is
the scaling of it up air-tight when boiling
hot.
Last fall my wife canned several gal
Ions of sweet cider in this way, and kept
it perfectly pure and sweet until opened
for use in the spring, SO in making the
above statement, 81 speak what | dc
know. NORTH West Farmer.

Retirement of VIM. B. Mann.

District Attorney William b. Mann
retired from Office yesterday, and Furman
Sheppard was sworn in. After seventeen
year, of ardent and industrious discharge
of the duties pertaining to that Office, as
subordinate aud principal, Mr.. Mann re-
tires. His experience during that time
has been wonderful, his efforts constant
and laborious. He has seen the criminal
business greatly enlarged since 1851,
perhaps doubled. He has seen crimes
which were rare become so common as tc
be of almost every day occurrence, and
has seen how true it is that great cities
are great evils, and how large towns seem
to attract, naturally, the vicious and de-
graded from all quarters, and become
centres of vice in its worst form. Ii
must have been gratifying to Dir. Mann
upon his retiaement, to receive from the
entire bench of the Quarter Sessions the
most honorable official tribule to his
honor industry and fitting discharge Of his
reliable duties.-Inqnirer.

The Elechan.

The election, on Tuesday last, passed of ve-
~ quietly IN this section of country. Both par
tics marshalled their forces under charge of Vi
gilant Committees, and both were busy as bees
in their endeavors to make the most votes for
their respective sides but there was no wrang-
ling, no squabling, no special calling of hard
names; on the contrary, everything was cor
Quoted on the peace principle, and the day
made one of pleasure instead of day of tur-
mol and confusion. But for the small cheat
ing, which seems to be a necessity with the De
rnocraey, and without which the party could
hardly live. the day.would have been as near
perfect as possible.
In the borough, the fight, on the part of the
Democracy, looked more to the reduction Of
the Republican majority of October, than to the
hope Of carrying the day but the Republican,
were watchful, and, after a gallant fight succeed
ed in sinking their opponents still deeper in the
miro of defeat and in securing the largest ma
.jority ever gained in Stroudsburg. We never
ss2s our friends strive more earnestly than they
did here, and if the organization had been as
complete, and the fight made as keenly in eve
ny district in the County the Democratic ms
jority would have been sunk in comparative
