Farmers liz ing in the coast region
Of South Carolina say that as the
negro population increases in that
region the crops decrease. AS the
large production of cotton in the
south shows that the negroes in gen
eral have been working very well,
there must be a special cause for the
unsatisfactory condition of things on
the coast region of South Carolina
At a mere guess We should be dis
posed to lay it to an influx of lazy
negroes from the interior, who drift
to the coast and idle away their time
picking up a living by fishing, only
varying their occupation by occasion.

the license fee for liquor saloons in
Decatur to 81, 500 a year. The Gen

the defence of the saloons against
their assailants. There was a famous
meeting of these gentlemen in Chi
cago a year ago. which resolved al

"Billv Mahone's lament" is

"Billy Mahone's lament" is an
amusing piece of literature, coming
from the source it does. He whines
that the material development of Vir-
ginia will now be checked; that it will
be a mere desert waste, in which no
body will care to live; that it's farms
will grow up to weeds, its coal will NO
longer be mined, it's timber will not
be sawed and all its industries will be
given yer to decay and ruin, and.
worst of all, no more people from the
outside will settle in the state-all be.

says, apropos of this plant:

dollars of a debt to which the honor
of the state was committed, he was

Nothing has been more audaciou'
than this wrecker's constant assump

appropriate that he should go to hi
political grave uttering this hollo'
cry. BY so doing he has maintaine
the consistency of a demagogue an
repudiator to the very last.

A Good Officer.

When William Brown, the sheriff
of Weber county. gets after a man,
the Jig is up for that person. One
of his late achievements is the fol-
lowing, which We copy from the
Pilot:
For several days past Sheriff
Homer, of Oneida county, Idaho,
together with his deputy, has been
searching in this vicinity for a man
by the name of Tom Wamock.
Their search having proved fruit
less, the matter was left in the
hands of Sheriff William Brown, of
this county, and he began looking
for the man, with no clue save q
poor description as to his identity.
Yesterday, while walking on the
streets, he passed an individual who
answered, in some respects, to the
word portrait given by Homer. In
order to make himself more Ger
tain, our worthy sheriff called loudly
tom" The fellow at oaee stopped,
looked around, and seeing nobody
looking at him, passed on. Again
"Tom" was called, and this time
Sheriff Brown stepped up aud took
his man.
Wamock is charged with murder
and assault to kill.

Startling Discovery.

San Francisco, 5.-A quail hunter
this morning discovered in the
woods near San Rafael. the aristo-
cratic suburb city, the skeleton of a
well dressed man. It was in a sit
ting position, with one end of piece
of hay rope around its neck, the
other end attached to a limb of a
tree. The popularity of the posi-
ton and the rope remaining un-
broken, precludes the theory of sui
eide or murder. The skeleton, ap-
parently, had been there six or eight
months, as the flesh was entirely
gone from the bones. The body
was about five feet eight inches
tall. Judging from the hair the
skeleton is that of a man about thir-
ty years of age. There were no pa
pers in the pockets of the clothes
whereby the remains could be iden-
tilted.
