The Colored Exodus.

7. J.,
Some interest has been excited throughout
the State onsacbodntof the number Of colored
people who arc leaving tho State. In Laurens,
Gr6ehyille and EdgeAed number Of these
people have left. notably for Arkansas Several
hundred have already left Edgfeld, and many
more are stated to be on the eve Of removing.
No cause has been given for these spasms in the
public mind, except that the short crops Of last
year, and alarm at the passnge Of general
stock low, are alledgod as causes for removal.
The colored people say they want to better their
Condition. This Is probably desirable on their
part, and We hope they will not be disappointed.
They have the right remove to Arkansas or
any other State, and VIC want them to exercise
that right In their own good pleasure. AS be-
tween South Carolina and Arkansas there can.
not be much difference TO thom as q home.
There the sun is hot and the cotton plant grows
to perfection almost. Probably they will make
q little more money there, and we will have few
er votes Of the kind we don't want. Let the
exodus continue for awhile longer

The Maine Liquor

In publishing como time ago summary
OF an article in the Journal and Sociology
IN which the Rev. L. w. Bacon pronounced
prohibition failure in New England, we
noted the difficulty of getting ut tho facts
regarding the working Of tho law in Maine.
Tho prohibition side is now heard from,
Gen. Neal Dow gives the New York Tribune
this stacuent: "As to prohibition in Maine.
and its oilect upon public and social interests,
1t may be sufficient to say that 1t has no re-.
spectacle or even decent opposition there.
"he Republican party makes it lending
principle in it's platform, and the Democratic
party has formerly and enthusiastically re-
pudiated license by overw hclming majorities
in it's S'alo conventions. At no timo in it's
history has prohibition in Maine had behind
it stronger support of public opinion than
now. If it be conceded that tho people of
Maino had an ordinary share of intelligence
this ought to be regarded as conclusive of tho
whole matter" 1t is now in order for some-
body else to pnt in general denial, and call
Gen. Dow bad names and mako row gencr-
ally.

The Stock Law

Wopublish 10 this issue q copy Of the
stock law as itpassed both Houses Of tho
Legislature. 1t IL now matter Of gteat
public interest and all should read aud un4
defstand It that they may prepare to meet its
are excepted absolutely FROM its ttovisions
on condition that they fence themselves off
from the other counties and number of
others have until the first Of October to pro-
pare for the law. In our county and all the
otbers the Inv goes into effect on the first
day Of April, 1882. The law Is now d
fixture and oil should accept 1t as measure
which IN the Judgment Of tho Legislature is
wise aud likely to prove generally advanta.
geous On all questions there will necosa-
r'ly bea division of ofopinion and the opponents
of tho law should accept it as readily as the
advocates would have accepted it's defeat.
1t inaugurates q new era in farming and
stock growing md will doubtless result in an
improved order and class Of both. We are
satisfied on trial the law will prove both
popular and profitable. Our pooplc above
Walholla think the law is peculiarly hard on
them, but the fact is ,ars harder on the
lowor counties. The pasturugo in cane and
swamp grass is fur better there than our
mountain pasturago and those counties are
far moro injured, il any one is injured. We
have tried stock in numbers and also few
and find tho latter moro profitable. What
ever DO the experience Of others, the bill has
become o law and oil must abide BY it.
Complaining can benefit no one, but will
tond to their injury.

Looking Through a Wire.
From the Now York World /.

i When the telephone was frat proposed
many sooffed at the idoa Of transmitting
sound by means of awire and a battery.
Later it was proposed BY an European electric
cian to endeavor to transmit scenes in the
Same ray, and this idea was met by even
widor increduli.y. For the past three years
experiments llavo been made to attain this
end. but with the exception Of th0se OF Mr..
Shelford Bidwell, q London engineer they
hayo been unsuccessful. At the recent eleo-.
trical explosion at Paris, Mr.. Bidwell exhib.
| ited on ingonius instrument which he calls
dioscope. The apparatus oonsists Of small
| objective lens fixed 30 az to command the
! Object or ecene of which an impression is to
bo transmitted. This lens is connected by a
wire with small white glass plate. Total
darkness having been obtained in tho room
furnished with diosoo2e, it is claimed that
perfect reproduction of the image shown
in the lens will oe produced on the glass.
The distance is immaterial. So fur all that
has been accomplished with this instrument
has been to make visible several letters Of
the alphabet. Still, the more enthusiastic
claim that the time is not fur distant when
the owner Of q telephone supplemented by q
dioscopo can spend an hour at the opera in
his dressing gown and slippers, seated in
his easy chair, with ono ego and ono ear
closed"
MIR. Edison wns found at the office Of the
Edison Electric Light Company at No 65
Fifth Avenue, and in reply to q question as
to what he thought Of the dioacope, said;
"Tho ready Imagination of the French has
tinctured most that has appeared in the pa
pers regarding Mr.. Bidwel's invention, but
must admit that he attained Whatever suc-
cess ho claimed for his instrument. Still
not enough is promised to justify the wild
rulnors that prevail in somo quarters. In
turning sound into electricity you are able
to move matter, but to turn light into cleo
tricisy is very different thing, especially
US it would be necessary to transmit oil the
hues or picture or scene of On opera.
Still it 10 not on unreasonable plan nor one
impossible of accomplishment. But should
it su eed, what good would it do9 1t has
no commercial value, but is merely luxury.
Until satisfied that it can do some good,
am unwilling to tackle such thing but 80
soon as am convinced that it can be useful
shall want nothing bottcr."

Independent Movements.

Much has been said of late of the prob.
ability Of an independent movement in
South Carolina and other Southern States
at tho next election. Tho success of the
Malone movement in Virginia he's given
greater probability to this idea, as aslo the
general dissatisfaction with tho ring politi-
clans, who absorb oil the Profitable Offices
in the State. There can be no doubt but
such movement can only be prevented by
great caution in tho next covention for
nominating officers This State is not
ready for such course and can only be
driven into it by an unfair distribution of
Offices, as our people too well remember the
evils of Radical rule to give up the victory
so hardly won and which in effect worked
their delivcranco.
Indepcndcntism is common in Georgia,
and there is fair probability of its success
10 tEeir next State election General
Longstreet is strenuous advocate of such
course md has said he would lend it his
influence. lie believes general movement
of the kind all over tho South should be
made and believes it would be successful
If leaders could be found in all the States
it might be that by co operative work many
of tho States would be carried. We cannot
sec that the election of men, suoh as those
in Virginia, would work any injury to any
State, but might prove beneficial in divid-
ing the negro vote. 1t is generally believed
that the only road to thorough reconcilia-
ton between tho sections and between the
races can only be effected by dividing the
colorcd vote. If such thing could be &c
complished safely no one would oppose it,
but in this State we believe it at present
impossible. While m,ny talk independent.
ism and tho people are largely divided on
the stock law, VIC think no one should at
present tolerate the idea. We should re-
member the past and hold fast to what We
have now and not sacrifice it for nero
fancy. All would deplore tho loss of the
State to the Democrats, as they represent
the wealth and intelligence of tho State,
and ainco 1876 have given us good gov
ernment. Their every interest rests in the
continuance of good government, since
undor such, property will continue to rise
in value and increased prosperity will an
nually come. Once remanded to the years
of 1868 to 1876 and our people would with
great difficulty regain the government, while
taxes would inoreuse and lands decrease in
valuo. Wo should let well enougl, alone
and stick to our party till better and safer
times come.

The New Year.

We extend to our patrons happy New
>"- and trust the losses aud diaasasters Of
~. will be compensated for in year oi
plenty and general prosperity. The OLD year
Hhioh has just closed has been hard one
on farhaero by reason Of the genoraF drought
which prevailed ovor the whole country.
Crops have been short and expenses high
and we CON hardly hope TINT our State has
advanced any In wealth. On the contrary q
great many fnd themselves indebted in larger
amoants than at the beginning Of the year.
Let us hope when this year CLOSES this con-
dition of things will no lougor evist.
The year has also been one notable for
crimes and casualties. The pistol and knife
have done their deadly work in oil parts of
the land and the chief magistrate of the land
fell at the hands of an assassin. Where
and when will orime oeasef and con any law
stop it by restraining tho means Of COM
mittipg it? Laws to enforce morality have
been enacted, but still deadly weapons are
commonly carried by the very class most
apt to abuse them, Tho lawabiding class of
peopleno longer carry weapons, while ne
gtoes and rowdies generally wear them. All
over the country accounts of revolving murders
oil our exchanges during Christmas woek, q
period when peace and good will among men
should prevail. Let us hope too there will be
an improvement in the morals OF the people
during this year.
