There is a leason to be learned by our
farmers from the statistics of imports OF
food since last harvest. The drought OF

tatoes. beans aud cabbages, and since sep

Letter from South Carolina.

Mr.. EDIToR;-Wc have some warm
reasons for regretting that we cannot more
fully initiate the birds Of passage, and
spend our winters in South Carolina and
our summers in Vermont Summer here,
AS we'll as north seemed rather tardy in
coming, but it now evidently means bust
ness-and we have ii here in earnest-for
few days the mercury has been well up
II the nineties, but fortunately we have
been well supplied with refreshing show
crs, and the weather thus far has proved
favorable to the growing crop. The
Planters have suffered sadly the last year
Tor the want of rain. Not one half the
usual crop of corn was raised, and many
OF the poor suffer greatly for the means to
procure provisions. Land and crops are
mortgaged to procure corn, and on lien
the merchants are charging from ST. 30 to
&l.7j per bushcl for corn, and some are
not able to get it even at that price, One
of the greatest blessings Of the season for
oats-oue of the best ever harvested in
this state. This has answered in feeling
As Il substitute for corn, and thus proved n
great saving of expense. The corn crop
now is virtually made, and the season thus
far has been unusually favorable, both for
cotton and corn. and indicate an abundant
harvest.

Prohibition.

The emphatic victory for prohibition in
Iowa, TO which we alluded in brief para
graph last week, in the adoption of the
constitutional amendment, is one of great
significance aud of important influence.
The text the amendment is as follows:
mo person shall manufacture for sale,
or SELL or keep for sale, as beverage,
any intoxicating liquors whatever includ-
ing ale, wine and beer. The general as.
sembly shall by law prescribe regulations
for the enforcement of the prohibition
herein contained, and shall thereby pro.
vide suitable penalties for the violation of
the provision hereof
Such a provision as this. as a conslitu-
tional clause, renders prohibition an
obligatory duty, and leaves theslegislature
to perform its plain duty of enacting prop.
er laws to secure the enforcement of the
measure, All who are familiar with the
history oil temperance legislation, are we'll
aware that the possibility of the repeal of
prohibitory laws by n legislature which
may be opposed to the spirit Of the same,
is always an apparent detriment to the
efficiency of the measure. Such a clause
as this however once adopted into the
constitution OF the state becomes safe
guard against any sudden assault by the
enemies ofprohibi ion through legislative
channels, for the repeal Of constitutional
clause involves the voto of the people.
We have heretofore alluded to the pending
amendment to the constitution of Vermont
which is in effect in accord with tho one
in Iowa quoted above.
We have no apprehcnsions as to its
adoption by the people if once it is sont to
them by tho coming legislature, and we
have no approhcnsons as TO the course of
tho legislature if it is fairly composed of
truo representative mon from tho pooplo
at large, But we called attention recently
to tho supposed purpose of the enemies of
prohibition to forestall tho people by steal
ing the nominations in behalf of runs
interests. We now call attention to the
information given by our Swanton corre-
spondent, in another column, and suggest
that our readers put this and that together
and seek to ascertain whether there Is any
relation between our former suggestion
and the Swanton affair.

his disciples on their way to Jerusalem.
Jesus had several times visited this great
city of his people during his public minis
try, but now he goes thither for the last
ime. H. hls before declared that his
mission on earth was soon to end
in suffering, shame and death; and his
followers knew full well who would be
only too glad to take his life. s. when
they see that his face is set to 20 up to
Jerusalem they were amazed and sore
afraid. The dread prospect of violence
and tumult, resulting in the death of one
so dear to them, WAS matter of alarm
surely.
While all minds were absorbed with
these gloomy forebodings, Christ takes the
twelve apart from the rest, littlc in ad-
vance, and tells them again, in the most
particular manner, what things are to
befall him at Jcrusalcm. To us who read
his words in the light of events that fol-
lowed it seems that nothing could be
palmer lie states who are to bo his
judges and the sentence they arc to pro.
nounce upon him. lie declares that he is
to be delivered into their hands, indicating
Judas part in the transaction, and also
plainly states that from their hands he is
to be turned over to tho GUntilos, meaning
naturally tho Roman power. lie speaks
of the wanton cruelty which thoy will
manifest toward him, and also that at the
last they will put him to donth, Mark
says nothing of tho manner of his doath.
Matthew speaks of his crucfxion; 50 that
it would appear that Jesus told them tho
shameful character Of his death Luke
asserts that they understood none of those
things. Wo may wonder at their slownoss,
but all their thoughts aud hopes were
CcntcrOd in Christ; his promises to them
had also led them to hope great things in
his coming glory. So we can better
understand, in view of such facts, their
seeming dullnoss of apprehension.
While tho whole company were in
alarm Mt the thought of the danger and
death threatening the Master, two of the
twelve, who had the best opportunity to
understand his meaning of any of them,
having heard the conversation about his
deccase held upon. the mount of transligu.
ration, came, and in evident expectation
of the event and the glory that should
follow, asked that they might sit one on
his right hand and the other on his left in

CoCoANUr SHELLS AS SpICE.-"What
do you do with your cocoanut shellsp"
asked II Record reporter of a prominent
candy manufacturer. "Sell them TO be
made into pepper" said he; and the
aroused curiosity Of the reporter was not
quieled by this statement that the shells
were really ground and used by spice men
II adulterate pepper and other of their
wares. Further investigation showed that
a factory where the shells are ground is
up in Camden, and is one story building,
the capacity of the mill being about two
tons OF ground shells per day. The shells
are brought to the factory in bags and de-
posted in tho roasting department. Here
they are carefully scraped and put in great
revolving ovens, which are constantly
kept revolving over beds OF blazing coal.
Some of the shells are roasted to light
brown, while others come out crisp and
black After being carefully sorted, the
dark shells are put in hoppers in the
grinding department and reduced to a
fine powder, like pepper. The brown
shells are not ground so fine and come
from tic mill looking exactly like ground
coffee. This Camden factory is said to
have been operating for about a month.
The SHELLS cost very little, and the milling
is dono at an expense of about two to two
and one.half cents per pound A repre-.
sentative Of leading spice house. in
speaking of this novel preparation. said
that whllo his house had not used it, he
supposed it was harmless adulteration

prctenso on our part that tho lower grades

retailer what no wants. We sell thom
spices at almost any figure. Pepper. for

but it is about rs much something else as
it is pepper. 1t would ruin tho trade to

has fine color, and on account of its
weight and appearance is considered by
spice dealers to be choice adulteration
