The Duty of the Citlzen---The Election
To.HIorroSv.
We deem it unnecessary to engage in
any elaborate effort to impress upon our
readers the duty that good citizenship
demands at their hands tomorrow. That
duty is plain. Let every man true to
South Carolina, and in sympathy with
REFORM, see to it that he discharges
his duty by manly assertion of his
rights and his influence.
The necessity for reform of our pub
lie affairs is too obvious to require argu-
ment. It is proposition self-evident
The spirit of the Reform movement is
high, disinterested, impartial and patri-
otic. The result aimed ut is tho dove
lopment of the State, the encouragement
to honest labor and needed capital, har-
mony at home, and an era of peace and
plenty. In fine, the Reform movement
seeks to put down the thieving and plum
dering of officials, to reduce taxes, lessen
expenditures, and, in general, to recover
the State, and take it out of The hands
of corrupt ring, that have made our
Government "a disgrace to civilization. +"
Tomorrow the case of South Carolina
will come up before the tribunal of the
people. It will 60 before the jury. Let
every good and sober citizen see to it
that he does not throw his vote away,
but that he deposits it for the Reform
candidates. Let no man, wrapping him
self up in the mantle of his pride or of
his apathy, absent himself from the
polls.
The Roman Senators who died in their
seats with curate dignity, may have died
dramatically. But it would have been
nobler and better for them, and more
useful to Rome, had they met the Gauls
at the gates OF their beleaguered city.
The "Gauls" are upon US. Let us re.
solve not to die, but to live; and thus GO
forth, every man of US, to the discharge
of the duty which tomorrow South
Carolina demands of each and every
faithful son. Let REFORM be the word.

Important 10 DistiIIers.

Commissioner Delano has recently
issued an important circular letter to dis
tillers from which we extract the following:
Distillers should understand that with the
last day of April their rights as distillers
cease, and those intending to then .discon-
tinue distilling must SO arrange their affairs
as to terminate all work at their distillery on
the last day of April, and not, as has been so
frequently done, have beer on hand to be
distilled in the first day of May. This Office
cannot do otherwise in such cases than to
treat the parties as illicit distiLers. Dis
tillers intending to discontinue the bust
ness should, on the 30th day of April, reg
lister their stills as not for use. A distiller
desiring to continue his business can only
do SO, legally, by giving his notice-form
27-and executing his bond on the LIST
day of May, in compliance with the require
ments of said section z. Such distiller
should have his bond complete and ready
for execution, with his notice-form 81
prepared and presented to the Assessor a
sufficient length of time in advance of the
first of May to enable him to make the nee
essary Investigations by that day, SO that
he may on the first day of May, when the
bond is executed, approve or disapprove
such bond. When the bond is approved
on the first day of May the distiller may
continue his work at his distillery; but
where the bond is disapproved, the mere
fact of having presented it confers no right
upon the distiller, but he will be regarded
as having failed to give bond as required
by said section, and must cease work at his
distillery

Sewanee Mines.

On Wednesday last a portion of the
officers of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, with some of our citi-
zens visited the SewaDee Coal Mines al
Tracy City on Cumberland mountain.
These mines are now the property of the
Tennessee Coal and Railroad Company,
composed of some of our very best bust
ness men.
The supply of coal is unexhaustible and
of a very good quality, in fact it is faVo-
rite coal with many of our citizens.
The mines are probably the best ar
ranged of any in the country and as this
is one of the chief sources from which our
fuel may be and is drawn, we are gratiied
at being able to announce that our citizens
may hereafter safely rely upon an abund-
ant supply.
The coal has been uniformly sold at a
reasonably low price. No advantage has
been taken of want of supply in the mar
ket to raise prices, and consumers owe to
this fact the comparative low rates at which
coal has been sold for some time past We
hespeak for this Company liberal show
of patronage.
