Putting It Rather StrOng.

There are in our county, as there
are doubtless 10 all counties, Q lot of
lazy, idle, almost worthless white
men. They play truant all the week,
lying around the groceries. hunt q
little. fish little. and growl q great
deal at other people. They are envi-
Gus Of every honest, industrious citi.
zen who tries to make q living, who
wears q clean shirt on Sunday, and
otherwise endeavors to look up 10 the
world aud make a genteel appearance.
These are the border barbarians to be
found 10 all new countries. We can
say to them now, that it is time for
them to be moving, our people are
heartily sick Of them; the railroad 10
coming and they must get out of the
way. Such men have done incalcuia-
bic mischief to the South. They have
stigmatized it with q bad name, that
will take generation Of law abiding
citizens to wipe out. They have de.
~oral.ze6 the colored labor. and in-
jured the farming community in .
thousand ways. We hope our good
people will use all legitimate means
Of getting rid of this worthless class
as soon IS possible.-Ashley County

The Tariff on PaDer.

The arguments to be used 10 favor
Of reducing the tariff on paper bring
to mind the forcible language Of
Thomas II. Benton in bis heroic war
against the tariff on salt. Mr.. Benton
referred to its great necessity to mans
sustenance and health, and to the uni
versatility of its supply; referred to
the words of the Savior. wherein be
said to bis disciples, aye are the salt
of the earth ;" be alluded also to q
custom of the ancients. who regarded
The eating of salt at ones table as bond
of perpetual friendship. Benton de-
clsred The tariff on salt as equivalent
to tax on air or water. and stigma
tized it as q crime sgainst God and
humanity. This tariff on articles used

Homicide.

On Wednesday night last Harry Glover

the following circumstances 1t seems. that
Harry Glover, who claimed as a wife Mr..
Simms' cnok, entered the Louise under the
influence Of LIQUOR, cursing in a boisterous
manner Mr.. Simmslrepeatedly ordered him
TO leave, which he refused do b, continued to
curse, and finally advanced upon Mr.. S;mms

and the cook, assisted by two colored men.

to turn, him loose, and he again returned to.
wards MI. Simms, who, standing in his door,
repeatedly warned him not to come to him
and when in about eight or ten steps of him.
Mr.. Slmms fred two shots at him, both taking
etiect-one near the left groin, the other in
the stomach, little to left of the centre. He
died early Thursday morning. The above
facts are condensed from the evidence given
at the inquest held by W. P. Mangham, J. P,
acting corner. and jury. For some reason,
the jury did not render an opinion to that
efIec,. but it is generally considered case of
excusabie homicide.
We probably should state that Harry did
not make his home at Mr.. Simms, but on a
farm in the country, and had no business on
the premises.

THE BRIDE or A NIGHT.

1t is seldom that married people
tire of each other Il few hours after
the Knot has been tied, that divorce
case which Terminated before Judge
lScldcn recently may not prove un-
interesting, as atiording ground for
speculation. On the 2lth dav of
February, 1879, II. ii. Goulcy, of
this city, took urto himself Nor
NAL school girl as. 4 wife. That
night they rrtirrd-a quite natural
performance The next morning
she arose with the lark and took her
self bodily away from the board and
bed of her lirgr lord, staying not on
the order of her going. She then
purchased Il ticket overland and
shook the dust of California from
her feet. The iorlorn husband wait
ed in vain for her return, but she
came not. Then he applied for Il
divorce from his Isabella Oh the
ground of dcscrtion. This was
promptly granted by Judge Bcldcn.
At the time OF her marriage she was
- years ofagc-old enough, it would
seem, to know her own business, and
from neither ofthe two witnesses ex-
amined, the husband and another,
was the cause Of her leaving asccr-
taincd-San Jose Mercury.
The difference between some girls
and grapes is that you can't make
the girls whine by squeezing them.
