FORTUNES WAITING FOR SOME
BeDY.-On or: about The first of
October, the series of Gift Concerts
will commence in Charleston. which
will result in twenty-four hundred
and four people drawing cash
prizes amounting FIVE hundred
thousand dollars. The highest
prize is an Academy Of Music
worth S250,000; the next is a pile
Of greenbacks, value 100000; the
third, $4,000, and so on. Those
born to good luck will win these
gifts, for the enterprise is in the
hands of some Of the most dist;a-
guished men in the country, whose
word is their bond, and whose pur-
pose is the noblcr one Of raising
large means with which to settle
Immigrants on Southern lands.
The tickets are five dollars each,
and may be purchased from the

~ Owing to the interposition
Of Bishop Ames, DR.. Lanahan, the
great stirrer up of strife in the
Methodist Episcopal Church North,
is not to suffer the doom pro-
nounced upon him by the commit
tee of brethren, of official decapi,
tation. The good bishop agrees
with the spiritual court that Dr..
Lanahan was unwarranted in ap-
pealing to- the secular courts Tor
means to force an examination OF
the accounts of the Methodist Book
Concern, but he decides that the
verdict of removal is more severe
than the circumstance justify. AS
his decision has the force of tom
porary veto, DR.. Lanahan will re-
tain his Office as assistant agent, to
be a thorn. in the side of DR.. Carle-
ton, his superior, until the meet
ing of the General Conference.

TIE BATTLE OF DoRKING.-The
"Battle Of Dorking, "reminiscences of
a volunteer" is u long sketch, which,
appearing in the current number Of
El"ckuood's M"gnzinr, has created no
little excitement in England. 1t pur-
ports to be the narrative told in 1922
BY an English volunteer to his graud-
children, concerning events which are
supposed to have happened in our
own time, and describes how England
induiging in faucied securely, and
taken unawarcs, was pounced upon by
Germany, London and all English
soil captured, and hercolonics POSSESS
ed by her victorious conqueror. 1t
is substantially tho story of France
to-day and, Of her German foes, and
its purpose is TO arouse tho the Eng
lish people of their possible danger
from tho ambitions Of the great Con-
tincntal Power. Its influence has
been remarkable. A profound effect
has been produced in the English
mind BY pcrusal Of it, and gcnrral
attention has been turned to the mil.
itary dcfcicncc and other dangers Of
invasion which it cnumcratcs and
deplorcs.

Cumulative Voting.

Tho Phonir 10 reply to. an article o1
the Chester Reporter, whilst admitting
that tho system of Cumulative Voting
is very far from being punacea for
our political ills, in sists that it is the
only practicable rcmedyin our reach
at present. Its a small concession
but still tho beginning and earnest of
something better. Small as it is, it
would double tho present minority
representation, without at the same
time fixing any absolute rule of divi-
sion between races in the State. 1t is
d rulo which in the future way be
more important to the present domi-
nent majority than to the minority.
Let us not refuse, then the halfloaf,
because we fail in getting the whole
whatever may be the motives which
prompt the confession: : ..-
In lieu, now, of this system, says
the Phenir, the Reporter concurs with
tho 'Greenville Enterprise in the plan
Of so changing the Constitution as to
cngraft thereon property quallfca-
ton for tie Senate, so that tho Senate
might represent property and the
House numbers. .-' 49, -. {.
We do not agree with tie Reporter in
It's opinion that this plan would be,as
easy of accomplishment as the system
Of cumulative voting. Nor do we ad-
nit thatit would be moro valuable.
There are certain feelings existing in
the mass of the community, on the
subject of the rights and claims Of
property, as opposed to tho rights and
claims of person, which would aroused
by the etDrt-to- carry the principle
that the Reporter would seek to cstab-
|lish. There would DO issues raised.
Questions would be brought up that
are yet unsettled. In our judgment,
the cumulative system of voting act.
ling upon persons, and recognizing the
personal vote, practically secures, i'll
fair union aud just proportion, that
very representation of both persons
and property which the Reporter aims
attn its scheme. Better, in our view,
is it to have both persons and prop
erty represented alike in the Senate
and the House, than to have property
alone represented in the Senate, and
numb alone in the House. -.
Rightly understood, twill be found
that, in its practical working, proper
,ional representation, can be used to
secure representation alikefor inter-
ests and numbers It enables peo-
pie to realize, in this century, what
has long been dream Of the earnest
legislator" l..s... ...,-,....

The New Departure.


The Gncw DEPARTURE asst iscalled,
is simply a recognition: by tho Dem
ocratic party, of the, existing :consti-
tutional Amendments rs accomplish
ed facts, without sanctioning the
means by which they were. effected.
The Baltimore Sun draws tho dis
tinctien between the two very clearly
in the following paragraphs: 7
eve may condemn and denounce
the means employed, but the end re-
mains all the Same The Legislatures
Of the States in question might have
rejected these amendments. They
saw fit to ratfy them. Having done
SO, and the fact Of ratification having
been accepted and proclaimed both By
the legislative and executive branches
Of the Government, it would seem TO
be too late to recall their action now,
and even less possible to bring the
question in any shape before the
courts, upon whom the action Of the
other branches ofthc Government in
such a matter would appear to- be
conclusive. The amendments ore,
therefore, part and parcel Of the
Constitution, as much 80 as any OF
the twelve which preccdo them, and
the power which tied the knot the
concurrent action of thrcc-fourths of
the States--is the only power which
can unloosen it.
"Whethor, upon such contingency
and for no practical good, it is better
worth while to call in question. the
constitutionalty of the amendments,
or to accept the situation is a ones
ton every man Of common sense can
decide for himself" .....s.;.
But when it comes to the claims
made by the Radical party, that un-
der these amendments they have the
power, under what they term 'appro-
pirate legislation" to revolntionize
the Government, and change its entire
character, then here opens mp wide
controversy between the doctrines Of
the Democracy and CT Radicalism,
and an entirely different issue is pre-.
sentcd. It is not conferred upon us
to change events. It. is within our
grasp, by q wise course, at least to
keep the Constitution where il is, and
to preserve some degree of liberty.

TIE PEACH CRop.-The New York
Duily B"iirtin, Of the l4'h, says:
"The first lot Of peaches this season,
in this market, cahlc in last week from
South Carolina. They were in rather
poor condition considering which,
they brought very high prices there
were ten ordinary crates. which sold
from S13 for first to Sc for last selec-
tions. Since then we have had sever
al !ots from Georgia. very few, how
ever, being in even in fair condition.
One Of the first lots from Carolina,
coming in partition chest, sold at
$50. Not more than threo or four
touching each other in this way, they
arrive in better condition than in
ordinary crates. The prospects in
Delaware are that we will have
good crop, but the Jersey crop LOOKS
less Aattering, many drooppins off"

of replying to an implied accusation,

lit is considered that tho undersigned

Vacancy in County Offices.

A correspondent of the Columbia
Union, whose initials IS. W. N.Y.
indicate one of the best known of
the Circuit Judges. takes issue
with the Attorney General as to
the power Of the Governor to Eli
vacancies in the county offices. a
p. He remarks: ,t .,.' ...--~
z; "What he says of SherifS, I
think is correct, but unless the
has the power to annul
or repeal the Constitution, what he
declares to be law in reference to
coroners, school commissioners and
clerks of courts cannot be correct.
The. Constitution in Art. iv., Sec.
80, as to. coroners, provides: The
qualified electors of each county
shall elect a sheriff and a coroner,
for the term of four years, and I'LL:
til their successors ore elected and
qualiiied;' and in Art. X, Sec. 2, as
to School Commissioners There
shall be elected JienniaUy in eaclI
county by the qualified electors
thereof one School commissioner;
and in Art. iv, Sec. 27, as to- Clerks
Of Courts: There shall be, elected
in in each county, 10y the electors
thereof, one Clerk for the court OF
Common Pleas, who shall hold his
Office for. the term of four years,
and until his successor shall be
elected and qualified " .. -. ..
Tho writer holds that the various
Acts of the Legislature giving to
tho Governor the power to I'll
vacancies, are clearly unconstitu
tional, and will be SO pronounced
