An important Grange Movement.


The Oranges are now taking the first
steps towards movement, which, if s,lc-
ccssful, must lead to a complete and
startling revolution in this country
keeping the wealth Of the South at home,
and delivering US at once from the po
litical and commercial tyranny of the
North This movement is the shipping
of our entire cotton crop to Liverpool via
Charleston or Port Royal. The pioneers
in this great matter are the members OF
Aston Grange No. 81, of DeKalb County,
Georgia, and their measures are now at.
tracing universal attention and discus
sion. They have circulated the follow
ing paper among the farmers Of their
County for their signature, and every
one to whom it was shown, has signed it:
Whereas, Cotton is selling in Atlanta
at l3t cents; and whereas, the same col
ton is worth in Liverpool y to ND. IL,
gold, equal to l9@ l92c. currency; and
whereas, o bale oi cotton cnn be shipped
via Port Royal or Charlest1.- and sold in
Liverpool tor leSs than $l5 per bale, it is
clear the farmer is losing SIG to s. 0 on
every bale sold in Atlanta Be it there
fore agreed among us, whose names are
hereto signed, that we will ship our en-
tin crop to Liverpool via Charleston or
Port Royal, sending our own supercargo,
who will sell it to the manufacturer, and
account directly to us for the proceeds.
More than two hundred bales before
sundown of the same day; and by this
time, in all probability, two thousand
bales are ready for shipment. All who
desire to make the venture are invited
to apply to Joseph Reese, Master of Al
ston Grange, No. %, Decatur. GEORGIA,
who will give the desired information az
to when the vessel will be ready to sail
from Port Royal.
We should like to see just move
ment inaugurated in Edgefield, though
we confess that the entire leaving-out OF
the merchants in the matter. is point
that will provoke much discussion. Direct
trade with Liverpool via Charleston,
Port Royal and Savannah, is what the
Cotton States need above everything
else. But we think this emancipation oi
our agriculture and commerce must
come about by the united action and CO
operation of both planters and mer-
chants

a DoubtfuI Remedy.

In the State Senate on Saturday, Mr..
B. F. Whittemore introduced a bill for
stay of execution. Doubtless his motive
in offering the bill was for the temporary
relief of the people, and whilst We con-
slider the remedy under any circum-
stances doubtful one, yet We would be
gratified to see this, or any other proba-
BILE means OF relief and respite, fairly
tested. Therefore let Whittemore's stay
law go into effect forthwith, and If there
is any good in it let the people have the
benefit thereof without delay, for surely
our monetary affairs will never become
more stringent and pinching than now.

Death of DR.. Max. LaBorde.

Il
Our friend and eo,mtryman, DR.. Max.
LaBorde, died OH Thursday afternoon
last, in Columbia DIR. LaBorde was born
in Edgefeld seventy years ago, and spent
tie first half Of his life in his native
home. And Edgefeld is proud to claim
MS her son, Il nian whose whole career
was so profoundly honorable aii't uSe1l'l.
This career leaves behind it impressions
OF character strongly and distinctly
pronounced. A sense of honor. quick
and nice; patriotism, fervent and 'uii
of vigor in it's devotion to home anu
country; mind, ever grasping a!ter,
and mastering, the secrets of science ana
the grilces Of literature; ahd Il hear; true
US steel in its response 10 the vibrations
of friundship-marked and lc&vcned d
long and honorable life
The Ptoenlc thus announces the death
of DR.. LaBorde:
We are deeply grieved to announce ne
death of DR.. MaXimiliau LaBorde. Iais
sad event occurred yesterday afternoon,
ut 6 O'clock, of bronchitis, after AN ~
ness of more than two weeks, which he
bore with exemplary patience and un-
murmuring resignation. The end Was
so gradual that. for forty-eight hours pre-
viOus to his release, he was dying man.
Such euthanasia well correspondent with
the gentle heart and placid temper which
marked his career during along, Dusy
and eyentful life. We shall take another
oil ff1, of
and labors The one has beer as con
spicuous and pure as the others have been
unremitting. They were all employed
on the side of virtue and morality, and
in promoting the great interests OF in
telligence, education and culture.
Perhaps it was fitting, and there is
some consolation in the thought, that he
should not survive the college, with
whose prosperity lie has been identified
for thirty one years, which he loved and
served with singular affection and en-
thusiastic devotion. Recent changes,
upon which we will not remark here,
left him without home, and God i'll
his mercy has loosed the silver cord and
taken him to "a house not made with
hands, eternal in the Heavens " DIR.
LaBorde was born June 5, 1904, and died
November 6, 1873. Few lives have been
more benefcent and useful. Its close
will be universally regretted.
The Phoenir, of Sunday, says: ITO
day, the remains of the lamented DIR.
LaBorde will be reyerently laid away in
the grave in Trinity church-yard, where
he has worshipped for near half CEN
tury. The good man has gone, but has
left behind him name which will not
soon die.

The Rills of the Bank of the State.

The Bills of the Bank of the State.
The late decision Of the Supreme Court
of the United States declaring that the
Bills of the Bank of the State of South
Carolina are good for taxes, is regular
bombshell in our Radical Legislature,
and our white and sable Solons are for
the nonce at their wits end to devise
some method whereby to circnmventth this
decision But tall their supercillious sub
terfuges and vain attempts to destroy the
force of the said decision, or the validity
of the said bills, must necessarily fall to
the ground, for higher power than they
has issued its edict; and those who hold
the bills of the Bank Of the State will
pay their tdreS with said bills, regardless
of any pretended Legislation by the 30
called Legislature at Columbia. Or
else they ,oiU pay no. tares ut all. The
people with the U s Supreme Court for
their hackers, can we'll afford to ignore
any averse law to the contrary, evrn If
enacted by the all-powerful and immacu-
late Radical Legislators Of South Caro-

The Cuban Patriots.

The capture of the steamer Virginius
on the high seas by a Spanish man-of-
war, and the speedy execution of four
prominent officers connected with the
Cuban revolutionary cause, as stated in
tiIu urnrxeti dispatch; have creared great
excitement ndindignation in New York
and Washington:
SANTIAJo DE CUBA, November 4th.
To His Excellency the Captain General:
At six o'clock, this morning, were shot
in this city for being traitors to their
country and for being insurgent chiefs
the lollowingpersons, styling themselves
patriot generals: Bernabo Varana, alias
Bembetta, General OF Division; Pedro
Cespedcs. Commanding General Of Glen
fuegos; General Jesus Del Sol and Brig
adler General Washington Ryan. The
executions took place in the presence OF
the entire corps Of volunteers, the force
of regular infantry and sailors from the
fleet An immense copcourse OF people
also witnessed the act. The best OF order
prevailed. The PRISONERS met their death
with composure
Sighed BuRRIEL,
The Chronicle d: Sentinel, OF Tuesday
says: 1.-The friends and sympathzers of
the embryo Republic III New York are
holding meetings, money is being sub
scrbed, and men enlisted for the Patriot
cause to free Cuba and avenge the death
of the men who were shot ut Santiago de
Cuba by order of the Spanish General.
The Administration at Washington is
wonderfully exercised over their sudden
taking off, and Spain will have to make
ample apology for the shooting OF the
Cuban Patriots. This Spain will no doubt
promptly do, to the extent of the disap-
proval of the act of its agent, accompa-
MED with the most profound regrets for
Che summary execution of m en- captured
on the high seas beyond its jurisdiction.
e They died like heroes for the
cause they loved so well. Their ambition
was to free Cuba, and for this they were
willing to die. In the estimation of th'ir
compatriots they are martyrs iustas much
as if they fell OH the field Of battle. And
the blood OF the martyr may prove to be
the cause of the freedom of Cuba.

The Late Elections.

The result OF the recent elec:lons are
really cheering, and lead us to hope for
vet brighter days for our State and Fed
eral Government, rotten though they are
under their present corrupt and thieving
rulers. The Grant dynasty is certainly
on the decline, eveninits hitherto strong
est ramparts, and the e-ple everywhere
arc showing evident signs of disgust and
distrust for Radicaiism, and its mon
strous usurpations. tyrarical edicts, tli;ev-
ing rings. and plundering bummerS-
and are determined to overthrow the
vampires, and to have an Honest and
Just Government again..
Gallant Ohio first led off, as ne stated
in our last, with glorious Democratic
victory.
Virginia has won sweeping Demo
cratic victory, and polled majority Of
over 20, 600 for the gallant General KEN
per for Governor.
In New York the Democrats elected
their State ticket by rousing majority
The Maryland State ticket is Demo.
cratic by handsome majority. with in
creased Democratic gains.
Kansas has likewise gone Democratic
The Wisconsin Democracy have routed
the Radicals, and redeemed the State by
a handsome majority.
Texas is also conceded Democratic
In Illinois the Republicans lost the
race by majority of 5000 for the peo.
ple's ticket.
Massachusetts,, the stronghold of Re.
publicanism was almost won by the
Democracy.
In New Jersey, Minnesota and Michi.

spreading like tidal wave" And the
