and have good time and see how absurd the
American appears In the eyes of French Bohe
milan. Suddenly the rumor came that the play had
been interdcted by the authorities.
YOUR CORRESPONDENT SEEKS LIGHT.
Well we all thought this was an ingenious adver-
tisement OF the Boheman's play. We heard 1t was
to be played in New York, and there was the aston
ishing story that the French Minister had told N.
Sardou that he must see our Minister, Mr.. Wash.
burne, and show him the play and ask his permits
sion before the play could be permitted. 1t was
really feared that unless this was done the play
would give offence to friendly nation. These were
the stories and your correspondent set out to see
how true they were. Proceeding to the Legation
he found Mr.. Gratiot Washburne, who received him
in sunny way. and was quite willing to 60 upsn
the rack and be interviewed. This was the result.
Mr.. GRArror wAsHBURNEs STORY.
II can tell you all about It," said the amiable
Secretary. II had o call rem NJ. Michaelis who is
the agent OF NJ Sardou. Ny father was In America
at the time NJ. Michaelis had been in New York.
and had arranged to have his play produced by Mr..
DAILY simultaneously with its production In Paris.
M. Michaelis told me the censor had informed n.
Sardou that his play could not appear unless my
father would give his consent or at least unless
lie would say, as Minister Of the United States the
can people. When N. Sardou heard this
he said he would not as 3 Frenchman

nothing TO say do about It. But the agent would

came back he said he would neither directly nor
indirectly, officially or unonlclally have anything to
do with the matter. But the agent again came
and said that one word from my father would
remove every obstacle. He said he could DO
nothing and would not even read the play. That
Is the situation. The censsrs say the play is
offensive TO our countrymen, but II my father will
say he sees no harm In It they win remove the
interdict. My father says 1t does not come within
his duty and he will have none Of IT,

Home Insurance Company.

That every plan or means looking to
mutual advantage and economy should
meet with encouragement and favor
is not to be doubted. 1t has been
suggested to US by a citizen Of this
town. and alter months Of reflection,
that a Home Insurance Company
might we'll be organized here, and the
money, which now annually is carried
out Of the place never more to return,
be saved to the business men. This
idea meets with considerable favor. but
while it is thought by some to be the
very thing needed here now, by others
it is deemed impracticable. The idea
is that the property holders here who
now fay out annually about $4,000,
place that amount, or whatever they
may insure for, in the Home Com
pany and make themselves liable for
any loss which may occur to men,
Der by fire in proportion to the IN
surance of each. Further, the expense
Of organizing, furnishing books and
stationery and hire of clerk, be met
out of a fuud which shall be saved
from the amount now paid out for
transit Insurance. We do not attempt
here to 60 into details, but mere
ly draw attention to it, that 1t may
be seen that such plan is proposed
for consideration. Our friend is
enthusiastic on the subject and has
many enthusiastic followers, and we
are pleased to give this notice Of his
plan. 70 test the pulse Of the busi-
ness men and community generally: it
will be well to have public meeting,
that free interchange Of views may
be had, and if the plan shows itself to
be practicable in its character, why
it can be carried into execution
Such a thing if it can be worked out
would be of incalculable benefit, and
there is no telling where it may
reach to, or how profitable it might
become to the members. Let meet

Stay at Home.

A great mistake is made when it IS
said that this is no country for poor
man, and that better livings, aye for
tunes, can be made elsewhere, Many
have made this fatal mistake, and
found it out when too late to remedy
it, or after their whole means have be-
come exhausted, their health impaired,
and their energies broken. The eX-
perience of the past of this County
will show the correctness of our posi-
ton. How many of those who have
gone away with the brightest ansicipa-
tious of rapidly and easily accumula-
ting fortunes. have succeeded? Look
at the numbers who have returned
worse off infinitely than when they
left, and happy only in the feeling Of
once more getting back to the soil and
the climate which at one time was so
slightingly esteemed, but which now
seems an Ell Dorado, land Of promise:
True, some remain away for good, and
by dint of hard blows, innumerable
sacrifices of cherished associations, and
home comforts, and risks from delete
rious climate, succeed in gaining what
ty so ardently desire. But does

their fellows, these Of course have no
desire to return. Some men will sue

will do better at home tnan among

The land is not at all in fau!t-all
that it wants is properly directed ef-

lights of science and the facilities at

fertilizers. The County of Newberry
to-day is as rich and highly blessed as
the most favored sections Of the great
West, so-called, and more, and the
channels here in which enterprise and
genius can find scope, are numerous
enough to meet the wants and views
of all. We don't want any man, If he
be worker, to 60 away, but what we

fill up the waste places, to cultivate

to put up shops and stores. These
are few of the things needed, and
they are bound to come some day, but
too late for many who have foollshly
turned their backs on their native
soil, the home of their boyhood, and

will tell them they should have re,

emigration will tend this way, and 1t

it is their boundcn duty, to encourage
this, by remaining at home themselves:
and by holding out inducements and
afording facilities which the emigrant
must have to induce him to come
There is life in the old land yet. and
We are glad to-day to notice that our
people generally are becoming enllSht-
eued on this subject and ere waking up
to the necessities Of the occasion, and
that they seem determined to work out
the problem, and make this the coun-
try to be desired above al Others
What We want is work, practical ef-
fort, and enlarged views, and 4 gen

who are striving honestly to 'nakc
