Not 70 Bad After All.

We are pleased to state that the accident to
to Mr.. c. +. Sims was not half as bad as we re-
ported last week. We are now satisfied that it
will not do to believe more than half of what
we hear and only one-fourth of what we see.
The difference between q broken finger and
broken neck lies merely in the imagination
Of the one that reports the accident. OF course
the Editor lied about it, although we printed the
accident as it was told to us. Never mind,
Charley is worth dozen dead men yet--lie or

Coon Work THE GRASoRRs HAVE DONE
The Chicago Tribune notes, as one of the health.
full changes that are taking place in trade, the
fact that farmers now are disposed to purchase
what they need for cash. 1t says: "The Gran
ger organizations taught the lesson that he who
bought for cash and ran no bills made o large
saving, and this lesson has been extensively car
ried into practice. Country dealers, therefore,
as their cash sales increase, can in turn pur.
chase stocks on shorter time and on better terms
than was possible under the exclusive credit
system. The greater the extent to which farm.
ers and all others can purchase oil they need
for cash, the greater and more profitable to
consumers, to merchants and to manufacturers

The GArrEniso Wan yLoup.--wars and ru1
mors of wsrs arc increa2ng. England has on
hand the Afghan and Zulu wars, aud another is
on the cards with Burmah. Alull in hostlities
in tho ,6rst named struggle has given rise to .
hope of peace; but there was fierce battle on
the oath of March, hear Peshbolak, in which
the "Bengal Lancers made brilliant charge,
and from the locality of this engagement, 1T is
likely to be the forerunner Of others. The hos
tilities in South Africa promise to be long and
bitter, and the debate yesterday in the Houseof
Commons shows that It bids fair to produce So
rious dissen,ion ut hcme. On our continent a
new war is promised with Sitting Bull, who, it
is positively stated, only waits for the opening
Of spring to begin fresh attack. Meanwhile
we are threatened with o lesser struggle In
Alaska In South America war is cn the point
of breaking out between Chill and Bolivia, and
the movement of the Peruvian ironclads, which
have been ordered TO proceed at once to 1quique,
one of the most southerly ports of Peru, is very
ominous. 1t is said by advices just received
that Chiii has given point blank refusal to dis
cuss disputed questions with the Peruvian en-
yoy The result seems to be that Chill will
have to fight single handed both BoliSia and
Peru In this event il is thought that the Ar
oentine Republic will seize the opportunity to
strike at Chill also. Should this prove true the
southwestern republic will be heavily over
matched.
While Asia, Africa and America ore thus en-
over Europe Tho Nikilist movement in Russis
is undoubtedly spreading, if we may trust va
rious concurrent accounts, and to-day's news
from Moscow is far from encouraging. tits said
that q hundred arrests have been made in that
city'in consequence OF the assassination of a
government spy. There are likewise reports
of a violent rupture between the Car and his
eldest son, it being even alleged that the Care
witch has been put under arrest. Yesterday the
General of the Gcndarmerie at st. Petersburg,
Won Drentclen, was fired ut as he was driving
in his carriage by man on horseback who, af.
ter dischargng two shots without effect escaped
in q sleigh. There are disquieting rumors
mean while from Berlin, where the Socialists are
credited with being on the eve Of o critical move
ment, and the splendid condition Of the French
army is d~elt upon by tho European press with
foreboding emphasis. The storm has either
burst or threatens to burst over oil four quarters
of the globe but we congratulate ourselves that
in the United States it WILL in any case, be limi-
ted to very small area, and can inHict only

pration from that body to open Broad River for
the navigation Of steamers Of light draft Mr..
VIM H. Ruff was called to the chair and Mr..
Monroe Wicker was appointed secretary.
Col. Ellison S. Keitt by invitation addressed
The meeting in n clear and forcible speech, in
which he demonstrated that the work was en-
incntly practical at small cost considering The
immense good results that will flow to he peo.
pie not only of this section but the enirI State.
Col. Keitt at the conclusion of hisspeech offered
the following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, the opening Of Broad River to
steamers Of light draft will not only greatly ia
cihtate and cheaper the transportation of our
crops of every kind, but will open up q stupen
dous industry by making available the immense
granite beds that line it's banks, and which by
actual tests Of specimens furnished Gen. James
Jones, su uperintcnd of tho State Capital be-
fore the war, was pronounced the BEST but was
unavailable for want of transportation and
Whereas, the opening of, Broad River to the
navigation Of steamers will give us water trans
poration throughout the heart of the State,
from the mountains to the sea.
Resolved, That we earnestly request our men,
bers in Congress to urge the survey Of Broad
Riyera at the earliest moment, and to spare no
efforts to get appropriation sufficient TO re-
move all distractions and make it navigablc for
steamers of light draft. . CO...
