, ..Po Labor - 10 Pray"

This saying. true at all times, comes to
us with especial force at this time. In
the beginning, this condition was i'm
pressed upon man. To fulfill his calling
on earth, to meet his duties and respon-
sibilities, man must labor-must work
with brain or with muscle, or with both.
We need not say more upon the general
principle. The propositions above stated
are so obvious as 10 be everywhere ao-
cepted and appreciated. Here at the
South, in these times, where so many
have been impoverished by the war, the
duty of labor is more than imperative
With us "to labor is to pray" By labor
and its fruits we can alone secure the
means to do our duty to our families,
our country, and God. The highest con-
siderations of what we owe to ourselves
and our country point to us the road OF
duty. Upon the youth, especially, of
the South, should the duty of work be
impressed. And we may we'll add, that
the kind of work is q matter of impor-
tance to Us. We notice too much of O
disposition to turn away. from the labor
of the farm and the workshop to that of
the counters and the liberal professions.
If we could have fewer clerks, and law.
yers, and physicians, and more farmers
and mechanics, it would be benefit to
the South. We want to diminish the
army of mere consumers, and 10 rein
force the army OF producers. The great
sources of wealth are to be found in pro-
duction and sexchange-Athese directed
and controlled by intelligence. OF intel
igence we have fair supply; of ex-
changers we have enough; but Of pro-
ducers we need more. Hence we have o
word to say in behalf of our supreme
need. That need is of producers in the
field of agriculture and manufactures.
This is the age of muscle as we'll as OF
brains. We say, then. honor to muscle.
We need it. "

A singular strike took place in the

work any more, unless the following three
points were granted to them: Increased
wages. less labor, and the privilege Of
receiving their "cousins" in the kitchen.
Only the last point was acceded to by
their mistresses, and as the girls attached
more importance to it than the other
two, they went back to their kitchens.

SYNOD OF SoUrH CARoL1NA.-Fromt the
Chester Reporter we gather the following
about the recent session of the Synod in
that place:
The Synod of South Carolina was con-
vened in the Presbyterian Church, on
the evening of the Goth inst. Rev. D.
T.. Frierson was elected Moderator. Drs
Howe and Plumer gave encouraging ac-
counts of the Theological Seminary. at
Columbia. It now numbers thirty stu
dents, with prospects of success. The
proposed removal of Oglethorpe Uni
versity from Milledgeville to Atlanta, ex-
cited some discussion, but was finally
referred to the Synod of Georgia for ac-
tion. Prof. j. M. Anderson, of David
son College, made fattering report of
the prospects of that institute ution-having
at present over 100 students. Dr. Howe
announced that his history of the Pres
byterian Church, of South Carolina, was
now ready for publication, but that $500
was necessary to have it stereotyped.
Col. J. Fl. Taylor, of Charleston, and j.
r. Aiken, of Winnsboro, each guaran-
teed 5000, and the remaining 5000 was
soon made sure. The Synod adjourned
Saturday evening, to meet Mt Anderson
G. H., on Wednesday befere the fourth
Sunday in October next.

The tournament at Unionville on the
goth instant was success. Moro than
thirty knights had enrolled themselves.
Many fair ladies were present to cheer
and encourage their favorites. The
spectators reached the number Of ], 800

way. The fitting lasted nearly three
hours. The riding was generally good.
Every County bordering on Union was
represented. The successful knights
were Messrs. Sims Thomas, of Union;
Waters, of York; Rogers, of Union, and
Robinson, of Chester. They crowned,
in the order of their names, Misses Hob

The New Role or Radicalism In South
.-@4. - $50, Caroline.

.D.-.- - I Carolina.
We have before alluded to the effort of
the exponents Of South Carolina radical
ism to create political capital by seeking
to array the poor, so-oalled, against the
rich, so-called. We stated at the time
that most of us were unfortunately so
poor that this would hardly do. The
movement has assumed somewhat new
form. The persistent effort now making
is to create an antagonism between the
employees and the employers. The
laborers are taught that they are poorly
paid. The doctrine is promulgated that
the capital of the State is dealing harshly
with the labor. And appeals are made
to the laborers in all departments to agi-
tate, to move, to strike for higher wages.
Aud the effort is, industriously, made to
induce the laboring Whites to unite with
the blackginsolid organization. All this
ID done under the pretence of glowing
zeal for the laborers Of the country. The
fact OF the matter is. the movement is
neither more hor1ess than transparent
game ofPohtical triekerys 1t is to drum
up,white recruits for the radical party
if they Gan gaS them. It is to make, po-
litical capitaltfor q party that must have
some new agitation some new plausible
toy with which to please their dupes. 1t
win not succeed, In common with all
rightlmnded, pereons in the State, we
desire 70 aee all classes of our people
prosperous: We desire to see the State
stand upon the basis Of renewed pros
perity. But we never expect to find this
accomplished by arraying labor against
capital, 81, by sowing the seeds of bitter
ness and distrust between the two classes
OF; our people! = ;1li1GI INT

RAILROAD ExTENsIoN.-We copy the
following article from the Unionville
Times, prefacing it with the remark that
persons desirous of attending will be
passed over the Spartanburg anI Union
Railroad free of charge:
The following notice has been handed
to US for publication, and we give place
to 1T with much pleasure. It is a move
ment in the right direction. It looks to
an inauguration at home of an important
enterprise. The people here, the people
over whose lands the road will pass, have
no right to look abroad for aid until they
show disposition to help it with their
means. Like the Frenchman, who ex-
pressed his sympathy by saying 'I am
sorry SO, let some one step forward, and
say, 81 am interested 81 1000" and an
other, 81 am interested $780," and
enough money will be subscribed at
home to start the road. Once fairly
started, the centres of wealth and inte-
rested corporations will have it COM
pleted.
We hope there will be fnll attend
ance at the meeting, and that the cities
OF Charleston and Columbia and the
Sauth Carolina Railroad Company will
have representatives present. Union
and Spartanburg will be there; Ncwberry
and Fairfield, and Polk, Rutherford.
Henderson and Buncombc Counties, in
North Carolina, should be there, too.
Work is meant, and the ball is about to
be set in motion.
IMPORTANT RAILROAD MEETING
meeting of the friends of railroad ex.
tension from Spartanburg, S. c., to
Asheville. N. c., will be held in the
Court House at Spartanburg, on the
evening of Tuesday, November 16, at 7
p. M, for the purpose of devising q
scheme for the construction of this i'm
portant railroad. All friends OF the en-
terprise are invited to attend.
