AstOnishingly Free Country.

Since President Hayes has been
putting such approved Democrats as
Key, Hilliard, Fitzsimmons and the
rest into high offices, it is perhaps no
wonder that the ordinary Republican
voter, who is plain, blunt man, and
thinks there is no call for him to be a
better Republican than Hayes, votes
for Democrats for Office whenever it
suits him. And what is the reason
that every Republican voter hasn't as
good right to pick Democrats for
office and give them his suffrage as
President Hayes has to the same? A
great many people seem to be making
the discovery that they live in an as
tonishingly free country.-Oregonian.

OrigiR of the Word HOOdlum.

A writer to the CAL, signing him
self Tiger No. IA, dilates as follows
on the origin of the word "hoodlum:'
Several explanations of the origin of
the word ''hoodlum" have been pub
ished, but so far none have been cor
rect. Having personal knowledge of
its origin, will trouble you to give
space to the following true version:
The term originated with the Tiger
Engine Company's boys on Second
street. in 1883, in this wise: Jimmy
Ludlum, Arthur Haine, Parcello, my
self and few more of the boys, were
wont on pleasant evenings, to sit smok-
ing our cigars in our chairs, tipped
back against the wall of the house. As
an incident of these by-gone pleasant
times, | remember a couple of girls
who regularly passed by, when, if jim
my aforesaid was around, he generally
got sweet smile from one or both.
Sometimes he would join them and
walk block or two. At this time
"Nuibas" were much worm and the boys
observing these two girls always wore
them, soon gave them, as a distin-
guished title, "The Girls with the
Hoods, though some were content to
call them Ludlum's girls. A compro-
mise between the two titles was soon
struck, and ''here comes the hoodlum
girls, was quite sufficient to bring
Jimmy to the front, as the girls came
sailing down from the direction of
Howard street. The young girls were
of that class, who were then as now,
frequent attendants at the cheap balls
and soirees dansantes, and when it be-
came necessary to place any particular
female in this class, we knew of no
more expressive title than what was
then considered as having a more linn
tied application than it now has, ''hood-
lum girl"
Well, we remember certain crowd
IN those days who had "Come on, We
Hoodlums' painted on the box of the
hose,jumrer.

Saying smart things does not pay.
1t may crafty your spite at first, but
it is better to have friends than enc
mics. If you cannot make people
happy, at least, refrain from adding
to their misery. What if this woman
is not your ideal of womanly perfec-
ton, or that man your model man:
Your mission on earth is not to re-
mind them of the fact. Each OF us
has faults of his own or her own; in
correcting them we shall find ample
occupation. A ''sting" or dig"
never did any good-never helped
any one to be better. One who falls
into the habit of giving them soon
looks ill-naturcd. 1t is not always
possible to join the Mutual Admira
ton Society, and be good member,
but at least one can hold ones tongue.

EDITOR OLYMPIA TRANSCRIPT: The
pleasant people of Puget Sound, will,
no doubt, be pleased to know, that we,
on the sunny side of Washington Ter
ritory, are at no time discomftted by
the position assumed and the course
taken by the territorial legislature in
reference to stage and wagon road
across the Snoqualamie Pass. We are
not disposed to grieve over any losses
that may occur to the shipping interests
of your commercial centers, nor to go
in mourning over your future want of
our grain, stock, and mineral trade.
Indeed, these vast valleys of ours, nine
in number, semi-circular in range, and
embracing three-fourths of the produc-
tive lands of the territory, having a
latent and revealed wealth of immeas-
urable and amending resources, and at
tracing hither thousands upon thous-
ands of sturdy men of enterprise and
capital; men of skill and brains, are
not at all dependent on Puget Sound,
San Francisco, Northern Pacific Rail
road, territorial Legislative stool pigeons
fer either moral or mental, political or
pecuniary support, and thank God and
the Columbia river, We are now able
to ''paddle our own canoe" as well as
the Puget Sound siwashes can do it
for us, and thus run all our grain trade
to Portland, and our cattle and ponies
to Chicago by new ard near routes,
natural in hne, easy of grade, and prof
liable in patronage.
The population of Washington Ter
ritory has now its plurality and pres
tige on the east side of the Cascades,
and there is steady stream of immi-
grafton hither never before equalled
by any territory. 1t is safe to say, we
are increasing our voting list at the
rate of one hundred per day, and quad
rupling our capital and working re-
sources. SO you see, we worry not,
nor do we weary In our well-doings,
since the good people from every ma
ton and state are coming in "Multi-
tudes, Multitudes, in the valley of de
cision: for the day of the Lord is near
In the valley of decision" Joel 3D.
chap, Sth verse;
The weather is balmy, spring like,
and our farmers are busy blowing and
seeding their lands preparatory for the
coming great harvast. The cattle
drovers from the east are among us,
and our season of rejoicing is begin
ming in the midst of the outside wall
ings, woes and wants of weary and
wicked world What matters it to us,
then, if by legislative act, the Puget
Saunders cut themselves apart from us,

shines all the brighter here when no
Puget Sound clouds and mists obscure
it, and blessed be our valleys green,
the Lord is our Sheppard, we shall not
want his rod and staff we have long
since had, and our shield is the shield
of liberty, industry, progress and puri-
ty; all we want, all we need. Still we
mourn not for Zion or Puget Sound
either. Cumtuxl SHY-Low.

The Skagit valley embraces larger
body of first class agricultural land than
any other in the Puget Sound Basin. 1t
is fast being settled up and brought
under cultivation. When the great
timber jam is driven out, the river will
be navigable for sixty miles.

The State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society.

The delegates of this society from the
various counties, together with number
of members of Oranges and a portion of
the Charleston, met in the Court House
in this place, at o'clock last Thursday,
the hall being comfortably filled. Col.
Taylor, president of the society, presided,
T. w. Holloway, Esq, being secretary.
Governor Bonham suggested that the
list of life members of the old societies
should be called before tr nsacting fur
ther business. The list of counties was
called, and life members who represented
each county gave in their names.
Col. Taylor stated that all persons who
had come, or been sent, under the call of
the executive committee OF the society,
would be considered as fully entitled to
participate in this meeting.
Col. McMaster said that if the City of
Columbia had charge of the grounds it
would care for them between the meet
ings of the Agricultural Society and con-
vert them into an attractive park.
Col. McMaster then offered the follow

Small Manufactures.
Essay read before the State Grange By Mr..
G.. Warner, of Walhat1a, ~pon the sub
ject of Small Manufactures.

I will call my essay stray thoughts and
matters of fact, by an emigrant, on home
manufactures, and when done with the
facts will give you some figures. Be-
fore 90 on this my errand allow me to
say, "Don't expect speech from me-"
Speaking is not my forte. Only the hope
that my matters of fact will be beneficial
in encouraging home enterprise induces
me to take the stand.
Home manufacture-this great sup
porter of country-Are we as whole
doing anything in. this State toward in
Producing it among us? | am sorry to
say "No" We never have tried; we
never gave helping hand and cheer
ing word towards introducing it here.
Yes, there are few exceptions, among
them our editors, who in their papers
sometimes try to awake the mind of the
people, and some few Northern mechan-
les who have immigrated here, and who
are working hard against the stream in
laying the foundation of home industry.
Many amongst you will say, owe get
things so cheap from the North that it
would be no use to try to compete with
the North" This shows how little con-
fdence we have in ourselves, and how
small an opinion we have of the richness
of our soil, which in every way is 80
lavishly bestowed on us by Mother Ma
ture.
I am young in years, but I have seen
the world, and in my fifteen years of
travel in which have rambled all over
this great Union, from east to west, from
north to south, over Mexico, South Amer
lea, Australia, Africa, China and the
whole European continent, have never
seen better, healthier, and for home
manufacture, more suitable country
than the upper part of South Carolina.
Water Powers-Find me country
where there is such an abundance of nat
ural water power, large and powerful
enough to run all the factories in the
Northern States? And what are we do

the Society.
On motion of Col. Wallace, it was re-
solved to memorialize the Legislature for
an annual appropriation to the Society of
$4,000.
Col. Farrow presented the following,
expressing the hope that the invitation
would be accepted:
COUNCIL CHAMBER,
SPARTANBURG, S. c., Aug 7.
At meeting of the Town Council of
the Town of Spartanburg, S. c., held
this day, the following resolution was
adopted, to wit:
Resolued, That the South Carolina Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical Association
and the State Grange of Patrons of Hus-
bandry be, and are hereby, respectfully
invited to hold their next annual sum-
mer meeting in the Town of Spartan
burg, S. G.
Resolved further, That the delegates
appointed by the Intendant of the Town
of Spartanburg to attend the meeting to
be held at Anderson Court House on the
9th of August inst, be requested to
present the above resolution to said Con-
vention.
On motion of Col. McMaster the invi-
tation was thankfully accepted.
Mr.. Tozer offered resolution instruct
ing the Secretary to correspond with the
county societies stating the time of the
State meeting, and requesting them to
arrange their meetings so as not to inter-
fere with it, and urging them to send
delegations to the fair at Columbia.
Adopted.
On motion, the Secretary was instruct
ed to prepare the premium lists for the
next fair Immediately, and Cause them
to be generally distributed throughout
the State.
On motion, unanimous vote of thanks
was passed to the good people of Ander-
BON generally, and to the members of the
Grange particularly, for their unbounded
hospitality and kindness. A meeting Of
the executive committee of the society
was called for Friday at 10 a. m.
On motion, the society adjourned.

holders, and these members will very
likely oppose the report in toto, on ac-
count of the Republican officials lmpIl-
Gated in it.
Many of the former members of the
Republican Legislature have come for;
ward with statements chat they were
bribed by prominent Democrats to pass
certain bills in their interest. They gen
orally received their pay, they say, from
Tim Hurley, who was member OF the
Legislature and chief of the lobby: The
bills were certainly in the names of Dem.
ocrats, who received the charters and acted
upon the privileges. Tim Hurley has
been summoned before the committee,
but he takes the ground that he acted
confdentially as an attorney, and will
make no disclosures. This is cool for
Tim. who never was admitted to the
bar.
Among the documents of Moses are
papers duplicating ex-Governors Scott
and Chamberlain, Treasurers Cardozo
and Parker, ex-Comptroller General
Hoge. Scott has retired to Ohio-it is
said for good. Chamberlain is practicing
law in New York. Cardozo is wandering
about the North, with a sick family and
$4,000 bond calling him to Columbia,
but with little prospects Of his returning
except on requisition. Hoge is repre-
senting South Carolina in one of the de-
partments at Washington. Parker is in
New York in business. Neagle alone
stands his ground in Columbia, but
claims to be bankrupt and nonchalant.
Since writing the above I learn that so
many leading Democrats (Fusionists) are
implicated in the revelations made before
the committee, that an organized effort,
having the sanction ofthe highest author
ity, is being made to suppress the whole
matter, and let the prosecutions already
begun against the Republicans hang
over them as an inducement to leave the
State aed hush their mouths concerning
their Democratic accomplices. Owing
to the fact that the local newspapers do
not publish these revelations, this may
easily be effected, but the hill counties OF
the State will protest against the compro-
mise.

He who makes two sprigs of grass grow

changing the habits of life and the value
of property at all times. Man is restrain

the ills that be rather than fly to those
he knows not Of" 1 advocate such q
change in the fence system as is measured
BY the terms of the act, allowing citizens
to vote for or against it by counties or
townships. This proposition to fence in
stock and fence out crops if carried is to
be law. I am always in favor of the
farmer and the fence. What and who is
the South Carolina farmer, and what is his
character and the results of his avocation
under the present laws and surrounding
circumstances? The South Carolina
farmer is honestly and industriously en-
gagged in cultivating the soil. he obtains
food at the beginning of the year by
credit to enable him to carry on his farm.
Continuing to labor for one year, he sur
renders at its end his crop to pay for
what he has obtained on credit, and after
prosperous business of this kind he
dies, insured of a respectable funeral,
with large number of creditors attend
ing it, and the country editor mourns his
death and, while commemorating his
virtues, strikes his name from the delin-
auent list of subscribers. This pursuit,
agriculture, is the foundation of States
wealth, and has been unorganized until
the grange, which is the first movement
or organized effort on the part of our
farmers, and, as the result of its effort,
the new fence had its origin in the Legis-
lature. The opponents of the measure
must stand, if at all, on the whole statutes
of the State. If the new law is not
adopted, all must depend on the old.
This was adopted in South Carolina in
1894, and was without change until l7S9,
and defined lawful fence as a fence six
feet high, we'll built and strong. 1t was
amended so as to require it to be strong
and five feet high, provided that owners
of cultivated land have no redress for
damages unless they are fenced in as re-
quired by law, but there is no law deny
ing the owner control of his wood lands
and the right of action for depredatIons
on his soil and grasses. There is nos
one acre of wood land that the owner
cannot have damages for cattle crossing
the invisible and unmarked boundary
which defines his possessions. The fence
law is q restriction on the natural law OF
the owners of land, and does not apply
to the owners of uneultivated fields. But
if the owner finds near his cultivated
lands any rowing stock, he can impound
them for ten days, and after giving no.
tice to trial justice, advertise, appr1alse
and sell them under the statute: What
advantage will be gained by defeating
this measure and leaving the law, as 1t
