Wholesale Crockerv and Glass.

The wholesale crockery and glass trade
of Messrs May Brothers is steadily and
surely increasing. under their intelligent
and vigorous management. 1t is no longer
an experiment, but solid, permanent and
we'll established business. Their travelling
statesmen visit large portion of Iowa, Kan
sas and Nebraska, and they have a large
and steadily increasing trade with the local
merchants in this and adjoining counties.
They are men OF capital, sharp buyers,
and they get such low freight rates that
they can sell goods every whit as low as tn
wholesalers of Chicago. They keep fine
stock of all kinds Of crockery, glass ware
cutlery and many articles for table and
kitchen use, and invite merchants to ex-
anime their goods and prices. 1t is quite
an object to our small country traders to
be able to procure goods so near home at
eastern prices, and we are glad to know
that Messrs May Brothers are demonstrate
ing that Rock Island is good point for
the wholesale trade.

"A Girl ofl4 Cruelty abused by

SHE IS PROTECTED By THE COURT AND A
GUARDIAN APPOINTED.
Attempt to Punish her Brother for
Aiding his Sister.
The Malicious Suit Fails,

This forenoon, Ella Murch. neat and
intelligent looking girl of about IA years of
age, made application to the county court
for lega! guardian. She was attended
by her brother, Frank A. Murch, aged
about II years. 1t appeared in evidence
that their mother formerly widow is
now the wife of Charles Chamberlain, the
milk dealer, and that he and his wife had
been in the practice of cruelty treating
Ella; that on one occasion he held hel
while her mother seourged her with g
'black- snake" whip on her bare back
that her mother had been in the habit o.
locking her in her room and on one occa
sion she kept her there three days withou
food that about week ago she locked
her in room in the second story of theil
house aud that her brother, who works fol
MIR. Gray(near Mr.. G. twas passing the hous'
and he discovered her at the chamber win

and he managed, with ladder, to rescu
her, and took her to one of the neighbors
1t appeared that the children had beef
much abused both by their mother ant
Chamberlin, and that the boy had let
them, some time since. This unhapp,
state of things had finally culminate'
In the rescue OF the girl by her brother
Chamberlin and his wife were i

After the parties left the court, Chan

case was heard before Magistrate Pinkle.
1t was in evidence that the boy always &C

ting rid of such q condition of affairs?
10 this question wo think thero can
DO but one reply.
What "sacrifioes' wero made bv
tho Democracy in Mississippi which
any peoplo would not bo willing TO
mako in an effort to secure free gov~
crnmont and honest government? Tho
Nows and Courier says that tho peo,
plo of Mississippi spent "money like
wator" in order to carry the election,
and asks, "can we expect such open
handed giving in South Carlina?" If
such question be seriously asked we
answer at once that tho poplo of South
Carolina are just rs patriotic as the
people of Mississippi, and arc equally
as capable of making groat sacrifices
They will give and givo freely of
both time and money to rid their
State of the monstrous system of
scoundrelism which has crushed and
disgracod it for SO many years. To
ask such q question implies q doubt
which no ono who knows Carolina
and Carolinians should over entertain.
The article from which we quote also
intimatcs that forco was employed in
Mississippi by tho Democrats to carry
tho oiootion. What evidence is there
that any undue means woro used to
influence that contest. So far as we
havo soen, absolutely mono. 1t is
true that a majority of thirty thous-
and votes presents fearful odds to
contend against, but tho example of
Mississippi shows that ovon a moro
formidable majority may DO vanquish-
cd. Two yoars ago Alcorn was elected
Governor by nearly forty thousand
votes, and yet this Immense majority
has been overcome. There is hope
for South Carolina, and with tho Cons
servativcs united next year upon q
Conservative ticket they will assur-
cdly sweep tho State.
