While all the agitation Is going
on over the State in regard to tenn
perance and prohibition, it is due
to the people of the State and to
their good name. to say that drunk
enness and liquor drinking hays
greatly decreased within the past
two years. Prohibition may be q
wise measure; 1t &c certainly advo-
Gated by many of the best people Of
the State-but whether wise or
otherwise, its advocates should not
exaggerate nor misrepresent the
condition of our people for the sake
of even good cause. In all causes,
good or bad, there are extremists
and fanatics, and il will always be
so.
The people of South Carolina
deserve that it shall be said of them,
that, without prohibition, and by
their own voluntary course, liquor
drinking is now and has for some
time been in very marked degree
on the decrease in the State. T is
this fact that has enabled the pro-
hibition movement to succeed as it
has done, to sweep the State almost
without opposition, and makes it's
early adoption matter of certainty.

Prohibition.

The Legislature at it's next ses
sion will find Itself besieged with
long lists of names from every Sec
tio2 Of the State petitioning for the
passage OF prohibition law. The
first question for the Legislature to
determine in relation to this mat.
ter is, Is prohibition law needed
in South Carolina and this ques
ton they should decide indepen-
IDENTIFY Of the petitions. If they
cannot decide this question upon
their own judgments and upon their
own responsibility they are not fit
to be Legislators.
If, however, they do ho5 choose
to decide it according to their own
judgments, but according to popu
lar wish, then they should enquire
whether these petitions represent
the popular wish. The best way to
determine the popular wish on the
subject is to leave it to a vote Of
the people.

Cotton Exposition oflhe South
ern States.

May Report $. c. Department Agriculture
and Bureau OF immigration
The Cotton Exposition of the
Southern States proposed to beld at
Atlanta, is now ali assured success,
and as the time approaches for a
thorough consideration of its details,
isis suggested by Mr.. Atkinson, who
has taken great interest in the
movement from the beginning. that
there be an auxiliary department, de
voted to agriculture and mining. In
letter he says:
- You will recall the Kansas and
Colorado building and its contents,
which formed a part Of the Centennial
at Philadelphia. That exhibition of
the agricultural and mineral poteD-
sialties of Kansas aud Colorado turned
great tide of emigration 10 that dl.
rection, and for the time being altered
all it's conditions If am rightly in
formed, that building and its con
tents formed part of the plan Of the
railroad corporations interested in
those two States, by which they ex-
pected to attract emigrants. and those
railroad corporations have been paid
one hundred fold for their expense"
He suggests that the Southern rail.
read companies should seek to do for
the Piedmont section, FROM the Poto-
mac to the Mississippi, what other
roads have done for the West.
He says we are to receive au in
creasiug body Of enigrauts perhaps
considerable portion Of the 100000
tenant farmers of England who are
now being ruined by American COM
petetion in farm products, and who
must find another standing place for
their Intelligence and industry. Where
in the whole country eau there be
found section SO cougeuia! to this
class Of probable emigrauts as portions
of Virginia, Kentucky, northern
Georgia and of western North and
South Carolina Is it not time to be
considering diversities Of soil, climate
and conditions, aud the concentration
of Immigrants in this section, which
constitutes the back bone of the eastern
part of the United States, and to
check the tendency to scatter the peo.
pie over vast areas where they may
presently find themselves unable to
produce anything that they can sell
10 referring to his own opinion OF
the great uatural advantages Of this
section, he remarks that he has said
that if one wished to realize the po,
tcntialiy of this section, and its fu
ture place in the history ofthe United
States. they might be assured that 10
its resources in coal, iron, salt, lead
zinc, copper, eorundum, and in tim
Der Of the most valuable sorts, it ex-
ceeds Great Britain aud France com
bined; that in its possibility of agri
cultural products it is equal to either
and offers greater diversity than either
conntry would.
He considers that all We want to
secure immigration is to let our sd
vantages be known, and hence his
suggestions in regard to this exposi
ton. We cordially concur, and hope
that his ideas will meet with favor
among the railroads and our people.

Of that most necessary Department.
the educational interest.
1t is a we'll known fact that a large
portion of County paper is disposed Of
at discount varying from 10 to 20

on the taxes usually levied to meet
the years expenses, so that within q
llmlt of four years we may be relieved
Of this onerous burden.
Sd. That in consideration of the
fact that the month of June is so busy
a season with the farmers on account
of harvesting their small grain and
the cultivation of other crops, anG
therefore is an iuconveuient time fol
their attendance on the sessions o.
Court would recommend that the time
be made later in the Summer.

In the early days of California women
and babies were extremely rare and one
night AT the theater in San Francisco
when baby set up cry during the
PLAYING of the orchestra an excited
miner rose in the gallery and yelled
"Stop them fiddles and let the baby
crv. haven't neard such sound for
ten years" Judging by a scene at
Tucson, A. T., Sunday or two ago,
there is as great dearth of babies there
AS in the younger days of San Francisco.
Col. Dean found a richly-dressed MeNi
can baby lying on the grass, evidently
abandoned by its mother, and crying at
the top of its voice. He laid claim to
II. and was soon surrounded by persons
anxious for the prize. A Mexican lady
offered $40 for il. An American lady
bid $50. A hundred others wanted the
baby raffled of, declaring their readi-
ness to take tickets at any price. But
the Colonel concluded to adopt the BABY
