Chinese Immigration.

One of the most important questions
of the day is that of Chinese immigra-
ton. Few questions upon which Con-
gress might be asked to legislate, involve
more technical points in regard to the
intent and meaning of the constitution,
Had the trainers of the constitution been
accorded the privilege of looking for
ward one hundred years, it is possible
they might have viewed the question in
the same light as their ilustrious sue
cessors in Congress to-day, and devised
some means by which obnoxious Coolie
or Chinese laborers might be forbidden
American soil, or. perhaps they might
have reflected, that our public domain
is large and we have room for as many
citizens of the Imperial Kingdom who
choose to come to our shores. as well as
for those of the Emerald Isle or any
other foreign land. That the Chinese
are class whose practices and devices
are dangerous in many respects is fact
that cannot be gainsayed, vet, many
persons, who look at them from an ex-
IRENE aristocratic point of view, could
be taught many wholesome lessons in re-
gard TO many important things by their
despised imperial brethren.
Especially since 1877 has the agitation
of prohibition of Chinese immigration in
the States and Territories on the Pacific
slope been very great. 1t led to many
acts of violence, and in some cases
bloodshed, when Dennis Kearney and
Kalloch led the Workingmen's party in
San Francisco, and the latter was elect
ed Mayor. The issue was carried to
the Legislature and in vote on a con-
stitutional amendment it was found that
not only the laboring, but almost all
other classes in California were against
the Chinese. The amendment did not
meet with favor in the higher courts of
the state. A bill was soon afterward
introduced in Congress restricting
Chinese immigration to fifteen on each
vessel. This passed both houses but
was vetoed by President Hayes on the
ground that it was contrary TO treaty
stipulations. The present law prohibit
ing immigration to Chinese for twenty
years, was enacted by congress at the
session of 1892, and is sort of COM
promise with the extremists of tn e
Pacific coast on the one hand. and the
constitutionalists of the east on the other.
A determination on the part of China
men to come to this country is evident,
complaint being now made that they
are being struggled in, under the priv
ileges allowed merchants and traders.
Inasmuch as Chinese immigration is
now prohibited for certain length of
time it remains to be seen whether in
this matter as in some others, prohibi-
ton really does prohibit.

Surrendered FOR Trial.

In. 1878, separate indictments We're
drawn against Mr.. John Irby and Nc
Ninch OF Laurens, for the murder OF
Kngore, at that place. SIcNiuch was
triedand convicted OF murder but he
obtained q new Trial and was convicted
of manslaughter, and is-now serving a
term OF years in the Penitentiary. Mr..
Irby alarmed by the fate of MeNihch,
and dreading the iAllnenee of the popu-
lar feeling, which was running high,
fled to the West.
Last Saturday he caused general sur
prise by appearing in Newberry on
his way to his old home. He went to
Laurens accompanied by Y. J. Pope,
ESQ, and gave himself into the hands
OF the law. On Monday, accompanied
by Mr.. Pope, and in charge OF the
Sheriff OF LNurens, he went to Colm-
bia to apply to a justice of the Supreme
Court for bail.
We have heard that his counsel will
move for change of venue, and, if the
motion is granted, will try the case at
NeWberry.

Still Another FIJI

Still Another Fire.
Tuesday morning about O'Clock,
the watchman at the depot discovered
that the warehouse near the passenger
statiS1 was Oh fire; and he reused the
towiN>T crying Fire" aud repeatedly
diSciTarging his rifle. The fire was put
out, after doing very little injury. In
one corner of the second story of the
house, a space about y feet square Is
separated from the rest of the room by
partitions-this was formerly kind of
Office. The fire began in this small
room, near the partition; it partly
burnt the partition and then burnt a
small hole through the roof. In addi-
ton to this it consumed about bale OF
cotton samples belonging to Mr.. I. w.
Walter. The building, which belongs
to Ar. II. G. Rool, is insured. On the
first floor Mr.. Walter had at the time
of the fire, more than 200 tons OF guano.
Where the fire began, we saw pieces
of rich, finely split pine which plainly
showed that some one had kindled a
fire there; and near the place was
found a bag, apparently an old corn
sack, containing two old coats-none Of
which things were there the day before.
A window opens from this small room,
or Office, to the outside OF the building,
and the unknown person is supposed to
have made his entrance and exit
through this window-which was not
fastened. The origin and cause OF the
fire are involved in mystery,

a champion crammarian.


A short time ago a negro man appli-
ed for third grade teachers certificate
and did some first grade parsing. He
was required to answer ten questions
on grammar; but as he saw no need OF
telling all he knew about the subject,
he rolled up his sleeves, ina metaphors
cal sense, and tackled the first three
questions in a way that bewildered the
examiners. He may know very little
about the profound subject OF rail=split-
ting, but the way in which he walked
over rules and parts Of speech, shows
chat what he doesn't know about gram
mar, he will never teach in public
schools. He went about it thus:
l. Write sentence containing an
adjective, noun, pronoun, q verb, an
adyerb and proposition
Answer: The read horse run away
up the street, he broke the bugga
against the connor."
2. Analyze, and parse each word.
Answer: s'Read is an adjective de-
scribing horse, Horse is a com. noun.
run away is verb tells how he run"
8. Name three. ways Of forming the
plural OF nouns, and give an example
Of each.
Answer: add S. to the singular boy
to form the. plural, add ee. to form the
plural Of goose"
You may not believe that one head
can contain so much learning; but this
is as true as Gospel.

Another Fire.

Another FIVE.
Last Thursday night Policeman
Chapman discovered the cotton on the
platform behind Martins Store to be
on fire. 1t being early in the night,
between ten and eleven O'Clock, a crowd
was soon attracted to the place by the
fire alarm; and by prompt and ener=
getic work the fire was soon put out,
Nineteen bales OF cotton were partly
destroyed, and the platform was slight
ly burnt. The cotton was insured, with
the exception of six bales belonging to
N. Foot Il Son. 1t is believed that
the cotton was set OH fire in the absence
of the policemen, who had been called
away to take charge OF brawler who
was keeping up a reviving state OF dew
ilment at a negro dance in Amasoka.
The platform contained some 200 bales
OF cotton: itadioins q numbef OF wood:
en- buildings, and laterin The night the
fire might have caused very serious
loss.
On Friday the damaged cotton was
sold to N. Foot q Soon at five cents a
pound, Mr.. J. r. Matthewes acting as
auctioneer.

4 gentleman of Newberry tells of a
remarkable occurrence showing intelli-
gence in rat. On discovering that a
certaia kind of oil was mysteriously
disappearing from the bottle in which
ne kept it, he watched for the cause OF
ITS disappearance, and was astonished to
lind that it was drawn from the bottle
by rat. The rat clambered to the
top of the bottle, which was uncorked,
aud lowered its tail into theoi it then
withdrew its tail and ate. the oil that
clung to it. This operation was repeat
ed until the rat was satisfied. or the oil
was eShausted-or the performance was
interrupted. That rat had, besides a
taste for oil, something uncommonly
like reason.

Discouraging reports have reached lis
from various; parts OF the county, as to
the prospects OF the next grain crop.
Many of our farmers were busy with
their cotton last fall, and failed to sow
grain; much OF the grain that was SOW
ed failed to come up, owing to the sew
Gritty of the winter; and this year there
has been no opportunity to sow. We
hear, too, that many of our farmers
have, up to this time, been unable to

what now seems discouraging win not
prove serious, and that the grain crop
may be as abundant as that of 1882.
