According to.he correspondent of an English
traae Journal, 1t is mistake to suppose that
fruit is at sclutely necessary to the Manufacture
Of preserves. He describes visit to q large
jam producing factory, in which he found that
the work was being bravely carried on without
the aid Of fruit at ALL Jams Of various kinds
were being produced before his eyes currant,
plum, apricot. strawberry, raspberry, nor goose
berry was in the building. Turnips served the
purposes OF tie fruit. The fiavoring matter was
extracted from coal tar, and the resemblance to
raspberry and strawberry jam was further pro-
ducced by mixing the boiling compound with
small seeds with some cheap innocuous herb. -
a common form of sugar is used, and this is the
only honest ingredient of the mess. These pre-.
serves are oGercred rs made from "ths season s.
fruit"

EXoRhIrAST RAILROAD RATES In view of
me recent discussion on freights and general
discrimination, it would not be amiss to call the
attention of the public to some curious facts
brought out by the exorbitant rale charged on
n bale of shiring from Piedmont to Anderson.
The distance by rAil is about thirty two miles,
nnd the freight formerly was 65 cents n bale,
while now 1t is Sl.40, an increase of over one
hundred per Gen. 1t can be hauled by wagon
cheaper and quicker. In fact, the management
can AFFORD at that rate to put bale of shirtin q
in first class passenger coach so as to secure
us rapid transit. if nothing else, for Col H. p
liammctt can travel-and he weighs about as
much as bale of three quarter shirting-from
his factory to this point for less money than a
bale ofhis manu- faciured goods q first class tick

IHE NoTE IN TIE SrATg.--Thc official report
Of the vote in South Carolina ut the last election
shows some surprising results. The whole
number ofvotcs cast for the candidates for Gov =.
crnor was S7,S77. This is considerably less
than one-half Of the entire vote in the State
which, according to the Census of 1880, was
2Oo,I ,IS9' AT the election Of 1876 the total vote
cast was lS2,6S2. In 1880 the total vote for
President was l10,976. The falling off in the
vote, we presume is accounted for by the sys-
tenn of registering votors which is now in force
This registration has nnqucstionably prevented
repeating and fraudulent voting. and q worry
siderable number ofpersons failed to register
lhe entire registered vote of the st ,te we be.
Hevc, Is about 100 900, which is SO, ,T8y less
thaa the voting population according to the I'm
ited States Census. Between 20, 600 and 20, 900
trh'te voters failed TO register and were unable
to vote
significant feature ofihc election is the dis.
parity between the registered vote and the vote
MS cast. Putting the registered vote at $50, 900,
then about G5,000 qualified voters did not vote ,
or desposiie their ballots in boxes other than
those provided by law. The greater part of the
uiHerence, we imagine is accounted 70 by the
1aiure TO vote. In the County of Charleston
for example, the total vote for Governor was 4. ..
ool, while the registered vote was over S,OOO.-
considerable number of votes were lost by be
ing placed in the wrong ballet boxes and we pre-.
sumo ;hat thousand voters or more were chal-
lenged Mt the polls as having registered fraudu.
lently. or as being disqualified by reason of
conviction for crimes enumerated in the election
law. 1t is evident however that a very CON
siderable number of voters did not take the
trouble 10 vote at oil. This is serious and far
from reassuring circumstances of the election
