Tbe ColumbIa conservatives.

"A movement is afoot in Columbia looking
to combination of conservative citizens,
without regard to party, for the purpose oi
securing more honest and satisfactory ad-
miuistration of the affairs OF the city. Our
friends at the capital will not forget that it
was only by discarding all questions OF poll
tics that an independent municipal govern.
ment was elected in Charleston. The difficult
ties in the way OF these non-partisan elec-
tions are great, because the Radical presses
invariable denoance them as Democracy in
disguise; but the prize OF good government
is richly worth fighting for, as We In Charles
ton know. There is no doubt that the Co
lumbia conservatives have heavy load to
carry. They can, however, point to this city
as an example Of the benefits which all
classes derive from an impartial and capable
administration.

English Executive Ability.

The Hsme Rulers of Ireland having been
taunted with the alleged incapacity Of the
Irish for self-government, Mr.. Isaac Butt, O.
c., NJ. P, happily retorts on those VINO in'
dulge in this sneer, that there is nothing IN
English craftsmanship which should induce
Irishmen tamely to yield to 1t the manage
mept of their own affairs. This assertion Is
bad enough, but that the learned gentleman
should attempt to prove 1t, and succeed, too,
is much worse. He cruelty examines some OF
the last achievements of British statesman
ship with the following results: "The wsest
s.b.ockheads of the craftsmanship OF Eng
''land," says Mr.. Butt, "were lntrusted with the
'straming of recent treaty. l protest SOL
'semnly that the meanest attorney in the Four
sCourts of Dublin would run the risk of being
''struck off the rolls if he bunged the mar
''rlage articles of butchers daughter with
''the son of sweep 30 egreglously as those
magnificent blockheaGs had bungled treaty
s.between two great nalions-a treaty which
"might yet cost England one hundred and
':afty Millions" This is bad enough as an
Irishman's opinion of English executive
ability; but Mr.. Butt supports IL by the state
ment OF an English statesman that the great
est lriumphs Of the present ministry were
s'ships that would not sail, armies that could
'tnot move, commissariat which could not
ssbuy Loaf of bread" Mr.. Butt capped the
climax by stating that government in Ire
ssland was coercion, terrorism, aud undls-
ssgulsed violation Of the law"

Newspaper improvements.

The proprietors Of the Newberry Herald,
feeling that the increasing business OF their
section demands greater advertising faclli-
ties than can be given by weekly paper,
have determined to issue the Herald as q
daily or tri-weekly paper of respectable di'
mensions. This is bold step, and we trust
that the energy and enterprise of the propri.
etors will be amply rewarded.
A daily newspaper, the Journal is in
course OF publication in Aiken. 1t is small
affair, but the proprietor promises an en-
largement and other improvements. Al
present its light reading is principally com
posed OF Acts Of Assembly.
The Laurensville Herald has donned O
new and handsome dress. It is, we are
glad to say, prosperous and progressive
paper.

Attention, Widowers!

Are YOU aware, gentlemen, mat your
lives are in danger? That the bony dexter
forefinger OF Death is pointed directly at
YOU, and that your invaluable e1istences are
not worth months purchase? It is even
so. Settle, therefore, your cash accounts,
renew your life policies, borrow all the
money you do not expect to pay, order your
cofins, and make your wills, or else get
ready to get married Immediately.
An athletic, double breasted Frenchman,
who has been supplementiug the labors OF
Quetelet, by compiling the social statistics
OF France, Belgium and Holland, during a
period OF eleven years, has made the shock
ing discovery that Of all men on earth
widowers are the most liable to death. BY
accident? No. Widowers are naturally
preoccupied with reflections on the past and
anticipations for the future, but someho"
they manage to avoid orange peelings, runa-
way horses, empty double barrel shot guns
whiskey, kerosense lamps, Cholera artl-
chokes, railway smashups, smallpox and
other leshly ills as nimbly as other men.
But for some reason or other, they are apt
to die from natural causes. What is that
reason? The Frenchman, no doubt, knows,
but don't tell. Here, however, are bis figures:
It appears that married men between the
ayes OF twenty-five and thirty years are lar
more apt to live than unmarried men, the
ratio OF deaths being in their favor as four
TO ten and half in every thousand per-
sons. Here is powerful argument for
early marriages il the law Of self-preServa-
tion becomes tteir advocate; but little
further development OF the records shows
that at the same age widowers die at the
rate OF twenty-five in every thousand,
being twice as perishable as their unmar-
ried brethren. When the age advances to
between thirty and thirty-hve years the
case is reversed. Married men die at the
rate of eleven, and single men only five in
every thousand, the latter nearly recover
ing the ground lost in the previous semi
decade. Unfortunate widowers, however,
are still at disadvantage, dying at the
rate OF nineteen in every thousand.
'These figures" says an exchange,
.'open wide field for drawing inferences
ssand moral lessons" We dare say. 1t is an
awful showing for the widowers. The infer
euce is that marrying impairs the health or
improves it, according to the age of the
party OF the male part who enters into it;
and the moral lesson is that II a man will
marry, he had better stay married, either
by cherishiDg the health OF his wife or by
marrying again as soon as possible after her
death.
Gentlemen, widowers, heed this. Never
mind what people say. Get married. Get
married quickly. Have you many children
and few ducats or dimes? No matter. Tell
the woman OF your choice that French
figures, which never lie, assure you that you
will surely die if you don't get married, and
if she don't marry you your death will be
upon her chignon. Scare her thus, excite
her pity, push your doleful case, and she'll
have you.
There are no. statistics about widows.
They never die.
