The Greek Frontier Question.

Special dispatches from Athens agree in
stating that the opinion is growing there that
Turkey, with the covert assistance Of the
German powers, is intent on preventing an
early settlement Of the frontier question.
The conditions proposed BY the porte as pre-
liminary to commencing the transfer Of the
coded territory are regarded as unacceptable
and vexatious. The porte continues sending
troops to Thessaly, and is Fastening the con-
struction Of Notifications along the entire
frontier. Austrian agents in Thessaly, Epi-
rus and Macedonia are urging the Wallach-
ian population to protest against annexation.
Dervish Pasha, the Turkish commander, is
offering terms to the Albanians on condition
that they will prepare to descend into Thes-
sally and oppose Hellenic occupation. There
is a general belief that the frontier question
can only be settled by wal. The government
continues to send the army to the frontier
with a view to taking over the coded terri
tory, but will do nothing to mar the good ef-
feet they believe to have been produced in
Europe by their prompt acceptance Of the
decision of the powers.

actually believed it was necessary to first
nominations"
The senator from Illinois, in his too ardent
desire to make a good argument for bis IN
happy friend, the gentleman from New
York, gave q much too strong coloring to his
statement Of history. Some Of the early
Presidents were alao in the habit Of opening
the sessions of Congress in the habit Of the
English king, by appearing in person and
reading, or listening while a clerk read their
ssspeeches from the throne" 1t was also the
early practice Of cabinet ministers %(although
they had not then acquired the dignity of
that official designation to appear personally
III the chambers and make oral statements
in reply to inquiries touching matters Of ad-
ministratiOn in their respective departments.
But no argument for 9 particular construc-
ton OF the Constitution can be drawn from
these facts. @
It is q significant fact that the President
secretaries began to develop into the charac-
ter of true cabinet ministers at about the
same time that the Presidents began to dis
continue regarding the Senate as a body Of
privy councillors to the executive. 1t was
Jefferson who first began the practice Of
cabinet consultations. According to Mr.. Lo-
gan, it was Jefferson's successor, Madison,
who held the last privy council with sena-
tors. Cabinet consultations superseded privy
council consultations, as cabinet government
in England superseded government by the
liking in council"
Apparently, the senator from Illinois and
the senator from New York wish to roll back
the scroll Of history and resume the practice
Of government By the President and q privy
council OF senators where it was left off in
Madison reign, In order to do that it will
be necessary to "wipe CUT about seventy
years of constitutional history, including the
whole growth Of the cabinet, as effectively
as the gentleman from Kentucky proposed
to wipe OUT all legislation since the reign
Of Buchanan. 1t is an undertaking which
will task the powers Of the senators from Ill
inois and New York severely.

A FEri0uS Storm On the Sea-
coast.

The storm at Charleston Satur-
day night, 9th ultimo, was very
severe. The wind blew furiously,
and the rain poured down in tor
rents. Considerable damage was
done to shipping and buildings. A
few lives were lost. Mr.. Thos. P.
Lesesne, twenty, three years old,
son Of ex Chancellor Lesesne, was
drowned off the battery.
In Savannah the gtorp was ter
rife: nothing like it was ever
known. Houses were blown down
or unroofed, several vessels were
driven out to sea and lost, and
many persons lost their lives from
falling buildings, and from drown
ing. The wind blew at the rate of
seventy five miles an hour, and the
rain poured down like a food. The
damage to property was very great,
being estimated at not less than
half million dollars. The PARKS
and the splendid shade trees, for
which the Forest City" was 50
famous, were devastated. It will
be a long time before the city can
recover from the fearful disaster.
The latest estimate of the loss of
life in and near Savannah by the
storm of Saturday night, 9th ult.,
is from $50 to 500; the loss of
property at S1,5O0,000. Of those
who lost their lives and have thus
far been found ten were white.

It does, look at first sight as if
the guano men ought to divide
losses with the farmers this year.
But there is certainly no way for
the farmers to demand it, and they
should not so far forget their obli-
cations as to say because we have
been unfortunate we shall not pay
you all. It will undoubtedly be
hard, and in many cases impossible,
to pay off ration liens and guano
liens; but VIC are satisfied that
there is an earnest desire to pay in
full, and determination to pay as
far as possible. The farmers-all
of them-should be very careful
not to say we won't pay in full !;
that would be repudlatlon. The
basis of credit is small enough al
ready; but should any.considerable
number of, the farmers manifest an
indisposltion to pay their honest
debts that basis would very soon
become much smaller.
AS we said before, we are salts
fed tina: the Newberry County far
mers will not try to shirk q single
dollar Of their honest debt incurred
in raising their crops; and that SO
far as possible they will pay to the
last farthing.

/. I want to say word to my brethren
Of the plow. The drought Of lS45,
unlike this of 1881, was preceded BY
bountiful small grain crop. The
failure Of crops is general this year
therefore it will be much harder to
pull through 1882 than 1916. Now
where is our relief, and what must We
do? Some say SOW small grain aud
turnips pleutifully. This is good as
far as it goes, but we want relief right
off. For this has been a most disas-
rous year to US; the full extent Of
the calamity will not be realized until
another year by many; We are ruined
through no fault of ours, unless we
get relief from some source. Then
what must We do right now to get
relief? 1 would respectfully suggest
that the farmers Of this County hold
meeting 10 the Court House Sale
day in October next, and kindly but
fruly say to the Fertilizing Coupa.
MES, you have grown rich and waxed
stroug and fat of our bone AID blood
BY using your Phosphates, which is
all right; we don't object to that;
we desire to sec you thrive and pros.
per, but we desire to live too. We
therefore request you to bear pro-
portionate share of what ought to be
a mutual loss, authorize your agents
to deduct at least $50 or 200 pounds
of lint cotton per ton Of Fertilizer. and
not exact the pound of flesh this time.
If you do SO we will do our best to
pay you the balance, so that, We may
be able to 20 on another year, but if
you do not deduct We will not patron
ize in the future such as refuse, and
try to take such steps that you get
nothing, or only what We think is
just If you tighten on US now We
will be much encouraged to 60 forward
and continue buying from you as here
tofore; if you do not You will truly
be ripping open the goose that has
been heretofore literally laying the
golden egg for you. And then We
call on our Legislature to give Us what
relief and protection they can by en-
acting a stay law, or such other better
remedy as their wisdom may suggest.
What say you, brother farmers, to the
meeting? Speak out. You have a
right, and ought to make yourselves
heard, even the poorest; and if need
be, make yourself felt too by your
votes. FARMER.

instant gave an extended and graf
ifying review of the business of
Charleston for the preceding year.
Accompanying the review was a
large map of the city and harbor.
The review shows that the business
of the city for the past commercial
year was Unsatisfactory in most re-
spects; and in other respects was
decidedly encouraging"
AS cotton market Charleston
has never stood higher. The re-
ceipts of cotton were 620,l87 bales
-more than for any previous year,
and 100, $50 more than for the year
Immediately preceding. There was
slight falling of; in the rice re-
ceipts, owing to the large crop made
in Louisiana, and also in naval
stores.
In manufactures Charleston has
made rapid progress, and this in
dustry will be still further largely
increased during the ensuing year.
The value of the manufactured arti-
cles during the past year was Sc.
945,O00.
The wholesale and retail trade Of
Charleston exceeded that of 1879-S0
considerably.
The shipping facilities OF Charles,
ton have already been enlarged by
what has been done in the construc.
ton of more extensive wharves, the
deepening of the harbor by means
OF the jetties and the work on the
Charleston Canal. These works
are all in progress, and at no dis,
tant day will prove of incaIculable
advantage to this port.
The business of mining and ex-
porting phosphate rock in the Vi.
cinity of Charleston, as well as the
manufacture of the raw material
into commercial fertilizers, has in
creased at a surprising rate. In
1867 the shipments were 6 tons
practically nothing-in 1875, l22,-
$40 tons and in 1881, 266,734
tons. The shipment of the fertili,
zers manufactured from the phos-
phate rocks has increased from l2,-
122 tons in 1867 to 100000 tons
in 1881. The revenue to the State
from the royalty of 81 per ton on
phosphate rock mined in rivers and
navigable streams for the current
year is expected to reach over $780,
900.
The taxable property of the city
amounts to S15,017,695 on real es.
tate, and s6,555,SG4 on personal
property-total S21, 1,573,559. The
city debt has been diminished $685.
35S.70 since 1870; the debt is now
S4,626,350.9S.
The schools and colleges of
Charleston are in a fourishing con-
dition.
The health of the city has been,
and is, excellent.
Taking the review all together it
has very hopeful look for Charles
ton.

HaDifE Promotions.

A few men who are now promi-
nent in railroad circles reached
their positions very rapidly. Col.
A. G. Haskell stepped from the Sn-
preme Court Bench into the Presi-
dency of the Charlotte, Columbia
& Augusta R. R.; Mr.. R. L. Nc
Caughun operated the Laurens R.
r. few months as Receiver, and
was then elected President of the
Columbia & Greenville r. R. Both
these men had been prominent in
other fields; the former as g law
yer and Judge; the latter as a
banker.
The most remarkable rise was
that of Mr. V. E. McBee, of Green
vile, (otherwise known as Bunch
McBee,) who rose from the position
of brakeman on a freight train on
the Air Line to the Superintendent
cy OF the Western North Carolina
R. r.
A few years ago, being out of
employment, he went to Superin-
tendent Foreacre and asked for o
position. The Superintendent said,
There is no place open that you
would have. I could make you a
brakeman on freight train, but I
know you would not take that.
''Put me on to morrow morning"
said the young man. He was put
on and by his intelligence and his
strict attention to duty he has
gradually risen to his present en-
viable position.
