The White House Teetotalism-Mr
Hayes Explains.

With reference to the matter to which
you call my attention I have only this to
say. When I became President I was
fully convinced that whatever might be
the case in other countries and with
ether people, in our climate and with the
excitable, nervous temperament of our
people, the habitual use of intoxicating
drinks was not safe. I Regarded the dan
ger of the habit as especially great in
political and official life. 1t seemed to
me that to exclude liquors from the
White House would be wise and useful
as an example, and would be approved
by good people generally. The sugges-
ton was practically agreeable TO Mrs.
Hayes. She had been total abstinence
woman from childhood. We had never
used liquors in our own home, and it
was determined to continue our home
custom in this respect in our official resi-
dence in Washington as we had done at
Columbus. / was not a total abstainer
when I became President, but the dis
cussion which arose over the change at
the executive mansion soon satisfied me
that there was no halfway house in the
matter. During the greater part of my
term, at least during the last three years,
I have been in practice, as in theory, q
persistent total abstinence man and shall
continue to be so. All statements, in
Guiding the one you sent me, inconsis-
tent with the foregoing are untrue and
without foundation.

Effect Of q Bad Example,

"My early practice" said doctor "was
successful, and l soon obtained an envi-
able position. I married lovely girl ;
two children were born to US, and my
domestic happiness was complete. But
I was invited often to social parties
where wine was freely circulated, and I
soon became slave to its power. Before
1 MAS aware of it I was a drunkard. My
noble wife never taunted mewith bitter
word, never ceased to pray for my refor-
nation. We were wretchedly poor, so
that my family became pinched for daily
bread. One beautiful Sabbath my wife
went to church and left me on the lounge
sleeping off my previous nights debauch.
I was aroused by hearing something
heavy fall on the floor. I opened my
eyes and saw my little boy six years old
tumbling on the carpet. His older
brother said to him, Now get up and
fall again. That's the way papa does.
Let's play we are drunk l watched the
child as he personated my beastly move
ments in way that would have done
credit to any actor. arose and left the
house, groaning in agony and remorse. I
walked off miles in the country-thinking
over my abominable sin, and the exam
pie I was setting before my children. l
solemnly resolved that with Gods help l
would quit the cup, and l did. No lee
ture ever heard from Mr.. Cough mov-
ed my soul like the spectacle of my own
sweet boys "playing drunk as papa does"

PUSHING THE PLOUGH.
The Agricultural Progress of the State
Figures from the Census Bureau Show
ing the Greatly Increased Production of
South Carolina

The tables given below are the first Of
the kind made up by the United States
Census Bureau, from the returns of last
year, for any State, and were furnished
in advance by special request to our in
defatigable Commissioner of Agriculture,
Col. A. P. Butler.
1t will be seen that the total number
of acres cultivated in cotton, corn and
small grain is 3,090,972, which is S0,442
acres more than all the 'improved land"
in the State in 1870. The product of
cotton is SIG, ,490 bales, against 224, 500 in
1870, a gain of about 130 per cent. In
corn the increase is from 7,614,207 bush.
els in 1870 to 11,763,7 bushels in 1880,
or more than 80 per cent. In oats the
tables shows 2,715,4 ,443 bushels against
619,593 bushels in 1870, or, in other
words, the oat product of the State has
multiplied more than fourfold in ten
years. In wheat the increase is from
7S3,610 bushels in 1870 to 962,491 bush
els in 1880, or nearly 20 per cent.
The United States Agricultural Report,
for 1879, shows that the average yield of
cotton per acre for all the cotton States
in that year was 1873 pounds. The small
est yield in any county of this State for
1880 is in Beaufort, where it is reported
at 1862, and that, it must be remembered,
is long staple cotton. The average yield
of corn per acre in the United States in
1879 was 29 bushels; the average yield
in this State for 1880 is only bushels
per acre, which shows how much room
there is for improvement in our methods
of cultivation. The average yield Of
wheat for 1879 was 1873 bushels; the
average yield in this State for 1880 is
given at Sc bushels. The average of
oats is given at 13 bushels as against 2S7
bushels average per acre in the United
States in 1879.
The greatest aggregate yield of cotton,
"a, ,907 bales, is in Edgefeld County; of
corn, in York 626,305 bushels; of oats,

How Officials were Once Paid.

1t is not a general known historical fact
that from 1777 to 1884 the territory now
known as Tennessee formed a part OF
North Carolina, and that in 1885 the
Tennesseeans, becoming dissatisfied with
their government, organized a State gov
ernment under the name of "Franklyn,"
which was maintained for some years.
The organization afterwards disbanded
and Territorial Tennessee was again an
nexed to North Carolina. The following
is among the laws passed by the legisla-
ture ofthe State ofFranklyn. We copy as
found in speech by Daniel Webster on
the currency in 1885:
"Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of the State of Franklyn, and it is
hereby enacted by the authority of the
same: That from the first day of Janua.
ry, 1779, the salaries of the officers of this
Commonwealth be as follows, to. wit:
"His Excellency the Governor, per
annum, 1000 deer skins;
"His Honor the Chief Justice, 500
deer skins; or, 500 raccoon skins;
'The Treasurer of the State, $50 rae
coon skins;
each County Clerk, 300 beaver skins ;
"Clerk of the House of Commons, 200
raccoon skins;
Member of Assembly, per diem, three
raccoon skins;
Justices fee for signing a warrant, one
muskrat skin;
ITO the Constable for serving war
rant, one mink skin;
Entered into law the 18th day of
October, 1779, under the great seal Of the
State"

AN INDIAN battlefield REVEALED.

AN INDIAN ANBATTLE-FIELDR REVEALED.
MIR. Frank Terry, who resides on the
Coosa River, near the green Foster place,
was in the city yesterday. As is known
the Foster farm lies in a bend of the
river. Mr.. Terry says that during the
late freshot the Coosa flooded this place,
and the current that swept over it was so
strong that in some places it washed off
the surface to the extent of five acres
down to the clay. In one ofthese washes
buried Indian battlefield was exposed
to view. The ground was strewn with
bones. Not a human bone that one could
think OF but was to be seen on this long
hidden field of battle that the Coosa had,
as it were, so suddenly lifted up into
broad day. In addition to the bones a
large number of Indian beads, varying
in size from an average hickory nut to a
small pea, were also found. In one place
an Indian pipe, carved into the shape of
human face, was picked up. As there
are great many logs, so lying one on the
other as to indicate that they once con-
stituted forti6cation, it is supposed that
these bones are indications of stubborn
Indian battle having been fought on this
spot in the unknown past. Who can
decipher these hieroglyphical records of
Indian history Rome Ga.) Bulletin.

The Lion and the Jackals-A Fable.

"Friends, 1 have come to settle among
you and be q neighbor. I want to bs
friendly with each and every one and

"Hooray for the Lion Hurrah for

their good luck.
But the Lion had hardly got his den
in order when one of the Jackals came
sneaking in and began:
