To Our Readers.

Aiming, as we do, to publish newspaper,
it is in accordance with this determination
that we call the attention of our readers to
facts connected with one of the largest facto-
ries employing skilled labor in this country.
Last February, dispatches were sent from
st. Louis to the press everywhere that the
molders employed by the Excelsior Manu-
featuring Co., so well and favOrably known
as the makers Of the CHARTER OAK STOVES
and RANGES, had made demands that the
Company could not comply with. The re-
suit was that the works were curtailed in
their production, and the officers obliged to
look about them for different class of labor.
Now, after nearly four months, during
which time the Company has been con-
stantly adding to the small force who stood
by them from the first, Mr.. Geo. d. Dana
the Secretary, reports that full force of eX
cellent men have been obtained, and that the
works are running sufficiently full-handed
to enable them to fill all orders with even
more carefully constructed goods than be-
fore. -
We are pleased to chronicle the above, and
also that the molders have admitted defeat,
their places having been filled with strictly
nom Union men.
Those of our readers who kn0a1 what the
CHARTER OAK STOVE is will rejoice to hear
that it's makers have been successful in over
coming what threatened to be serious inter-
ruption to their business, and those who
have been unable for a few weeks to obtain
them will also rejoice, for their wants can
now be promptly met. And we would say
to all who have not yet examined them, do
so at once, and you'll never regret it.

Canning.

A lady says, in the Fruit Recorder /:
1--WE have ten acres of fruit of all kinds,
and take great deal of pride in can
ming fruit. l get nearly all of the prizes
at the fairs. wish you could just peep
into my cellar to see my tomatoes and
peaches-some canned last fall and some
a year ago-not mentioning my other
fruit. l will tell you how can my to-
matoes, both red and yellow. / pick
the apple tomatoes-the smoothest and
best shaped-and scald and skin them
very carefully; take the stem out with a
penknife, taking care not to cut the to-
mato SO as to let the juice or seeds run
out; then place them in the cans, some
of them with the stem end next to the
can and some with the blossom ends;
then take the juice that has run out of
some that l have had peeled to cook,
having no seeds nor pulp, and add lit
tlessalt, and pour on nay whole tomatoes
until nearly full, then place them in a
kettle of cold water and let them cook
till think they are hot clear through !;
then, / seal them. l use nothing but
glass jars-two quart jars-and after the
cover has been on about five minutes
take it off so they will settle, letting the
gas out; then 1 fill up with juice and seal
again, and my cans are always full to
the cover. A great many have not
learned this. You have no idea how
nice they will look through the glass
they show every vein and rib and look
as if they were put up raw, and when
used, they are just as if they had been
taken from the vines, and if you don't
believe me tryit this summer. Ialways
keep my fruit in the dark and it don't
fade through the glass. Now, | will tell
you how l Can peaches and pears. |
get them as near Of size as / can, and
sound, but ripe, and peel them, dropping
them in cold water as fast as peel, hav-
ing my cans all ready; then / fill the
jars with fruit, and to every two-quart
can melt one-half pound white sugar
with water enough to cover the fruit,
and pour it on, setting them in my boil
er, which holds eight cans; as soon as
they are heated through | take them
out, having syrup ready to fill up, then
! seal as with tomatoes"

AT Willow Greek. San Benito Coun-

AT Willow Greek, San Benito Coun-
ty, CAL, man named Hunt drove up
to the mines with load of provisions,
and on reaching a high point Of the road
fastened his horses to a tree which stood
near a precipice while he went to a
cabin. During the absence of the young
man blast was let off in the mine, and
he returned hastily to the spot where he
had left the horses and wagon. When
he arrived he found both horses had
stripped themselves of the harness and
both were hanging by the halters over
the bank. One of them was dead, hav-
ing been choked to death. He cut them
both loose. The living horse rolled to
the foot of the precipice, about 250 feet.
Arriving 40 the bottom he got up and
shook himself.

"Deacon Wilder, want you to tell me
how you kept yourself and family well the
past season when all the rest of us have
been sick so much, and have had the doctors
visiting us so often.''
- Bro. Taylor, the answer is very easy. I
used Hop Bitters in time; kept my family
well and saved the doctor bills. Three dol
lars worth of it kept us well and able to
work all the time. I'll warrant it has cost
you and the neighbors one to two hundred

South Carolina College.
SdIuGu argus

We have upon our table the catalogue
of the South Carolina College of mechan-
les and agriculture; the classics are not
taught. The course of study embrace
three wears, in which are taught English
history. rhetoric, mathematics, logic, po-
litical economy, mental philosophy, geol-
ogy, geometry and organic, agricultural
and analytical chemistry. Tuition is free,
the professors being paid by one half OF
the interest upon the agricultural college
bonds. the other half of this interest 60
ing to the Clatlin colored institute. The
amount of these bonds is $l91 900, OBJ
tanned by selling the land scrip donated
for establishing such a college by the
limited States government. After the sale
of the scrip the radicals invested the pro-
ceeds of sale in State bonds, which bonds
were misused or stolen by the radical
party when in power. The democrats in
1879, believing the United States govern
ment would require the State to establish
such an institution in accordance with
terms accepting the donation, passed an
act recurring the State treasurer to issue
the amount of bonds to tho board Of trus-
tees of the South Carolina university, the
interest of which is applied to the pur-
poses already specified. Many Of the
members Of the legisture opposed this act
Of saddling upon the State this debt of
two hundred thousand dolla.s stolen by
the Republicans.
To what extent the student is required
to labor in farm, garden and workshops
we are uniformed, and while we think
it was a mistake to issue the bonds and
are opposed to the institution, we must
saw that the course of study seems practi-
cal and hope the trustees may so manage
the fund as TO give many of the poor
young men of the State the chance of a
practical education. The professors are
four in number, and a foreman of farm
and shop; they are all men OF ability,
and the curriculum of study seems well
adapted to the average young man of our
State. 1t is hoped and expected that by q
malicious use Of the college buildings and
Of the interest on the bonds, the trustees
may establish a cheap system OF board
ling adapted 70 the wants Of our people,

Hard Times.

It Is only necessary for one to ride
into the country to become convinced
of the alarmingly short crops of this
year. In opinion we are on the
eve Of a panic, the like Of which we
have never seen. Hundreds Of farm
ers cannot begin to pay for the adj
i-ances which they have received on
the crop. and the greatest number O
them have mortgaged their mules
wagons and cattle to secure the pay
ment of the lien. In some instances
the merchant may be able to wait. but
It is fair to predict that many pillow an
finals will be sold off the various farms
of delinquent debtors. 1t behooves
every citizen to husband all his re-
sources. and to contract no new debts
OF any kind. The failure Of the crops
in the West will most likely send uE
the price of corn and bacon to a figure
which will do much to embarrsss US
still further. It is possible that the
failure Of the crop will very material
" effect the value of real estate, and II
is barely possible to see the prices Of
farming lands 60 down to the figures al
which it sold three or four years ago.
Prudent men will of course be careful
about contracting debts at this time
and those who ore in debt have the
greatest reason to fear evil conse'
duences.

ia excellent, the hours Of recitation and
sIldy well selected, and the deportment
and devotional exercises of the student
diligently watched and cared for. The
recitation rooms, chapel, commencement

and commodious. The libraries, cabinet,

curriculum is full and we'll selected, and
instruction is given by illustration, reci-
tation and lectures.

The Lien Law.
Gdnderson Journdl.1

Some weeks since we stated that there
a pretty general demand throughout
tho State, and especially in the eastern,
portion, for the repeal Of the lien law
but said that no one had offered to mbsti-
tute n plan by which poor tenants could
obtain supplies. Since that time it seems
that a reaction has set in and a goodly
number of newspapers seem disposed u
take a calm and rational view of this i'm.
portant matter. We reprint In this issue
extracts of a varied nature from several
of our exchanges, a brief perusal Of which
is sufficient to satisfy an unprecedented
reader as to which are based on the sound
est arguments and arrive at the safes
conclusions. we doubt not it would be
good policy to modify the lien law some
what, as suggested by some Of our con.
temporaries, but it would be ar unpar'
donable blunder for the Legislature tc
repeal it outright at the next session and
leave the people nc means Of giving 80
cnrity for credit. That the lien law has
been abused wo will admit, and nc doubt
the hind-sights Of some Of our wise-acres
enables them to see how much NOR
prosperous our people would have been
at this time If 1t had never been enacted,
but we claim that even the present condi.

present condition OF our masses, but we
do protest against the Legislature making
it worse III response to the demands o

The men, yea and women and children,

were not numerously represented at the
Greenville agricultural convention which
resolved "that the lien law should BE-

It was said that ''freedom shrieked wher
Kosciusko FELL" and we may say, If the
lien law is repealed Internationally, thai
liberty will languish while landlords are
triumphant.
