A Kentuckian lost a field of
wheat in a curious manner during
the floods. The wheat had come
up nicely. when a heavy storm Of
sleet fell and covered his farm with
a thick coating Of ice. Before the
ice melted the river overfowed the
field, the ice rose to the surface of
the water and pulled up with it
every wheat blade. The last he
saw of his crop it was following his
fence down the Ohio.

Viewed in its relation to order
and public morals, It is a serious
question whether the institution
known as Salesday should not be
abolished. We doubt whether there
was ever any good reason for its
existence, but if there ever was,
that reason has ceased to exist and
the custom should no longer be
observed.
No advantage results to the pub
lie sales from the presence of such
crowds as the day brings, but the
sales could be. made just as judi
cionsly on any other day. Men do
not buy property thoughtlessly or
at random, and those who intend to
become purchasers at the. public
sales usually make up their minds
before the day of sale. But while
the day is without any benefits that
are worth sideration, it brings a
train of evils. Nine tenths of those
who desert their work and come
trooping to town on salesday, care
come nothing for thepubhc sales. but
merely because they expect to see
crowd of joyial fellows and have
q .jolly good time"-an important
feature Of which consists of q free
flow of spirits Of the wrong kind.
Many of these persons are addict
ed to horseswapping, drinking and
cursing, reeling and staggering, and
general acussedness." It's mat
ter of common observation that
salesday is usually attended with
an increased amount of drunken
ness, that it demands in
creased vigilance on the part
of the police; and that it has a de-
moralizing effect on the business
Of the town. This is true of other
towns than Newberry.
We believe that it would be wise
to do array with the law setting
apart the first Monday in each
Month as a day for public sales,
and let public sales be made after
legal notice, without q common day.

COLUMBIA, Friday Evening, April
13.-Col. R. L. Mclaughlin and
Mr.. George S. Mower, of Newberry,
reached Columbia tonight on their
return from a ten days trip North
in the interest of proposed New
berry cotton mills. They went as
far North as Maine, not primarily
to secure subscriptions, but to get
from prominent mill architects an
estimate of the cost Of the works.
It was estimated that from $175,-
900 to $4,000 would build cloth
mill of 10000 spindles capacity
and furnish it with 5000 spindles
and the necessary accompaniment
Of looms. Over 100000 has al
ready been subscribedin Newberry,
and Col. Met cCaughrin has assurances
that if $685. more can be raised
in that town he can obtain the re-
mainder of the subscriptions else
where. Of this there is very little
doubt. The object is to build the
mill and start with 5000 spindles,
and when this beginning is made to
increase the stock by 100000 and
fill the mill with the full compile
ment of 10000 spindles. Col.
Mclaughlin finds that Newberry
can now get Pennsylvania coal by
way of Charleston as cheap, or
cheaper than Providence or other
New England manufacturing cities
now get it. The Georgia Pacific
Railroad bonds were placed the
other day, and the completion of
the road is thus assured. When it
is finished next fall, South Carolina
can obtain coal much cheaper than
New England. The Newberry mills
are assured.-Neaus and Courier Cor

South Carolina win not be repr

South Carolina viii not be repre-
sented at the New England Exposi-
ton next fall. Considerable pres
sure was brought to bear upon the
Board of Agriculture to induce it
to appropriate sufficient sum to
enable the. State to make fitting
exhibition of her resources at the
Exposition. We are glad that the
Board had the courage to resist this
pressure, and to decide that it will
not make the appropriation. 1t is
always right to decide not to do
that which we have no authority to
do. The Board gives its reasons as
follows:
s.To the Chamber Of Commerce
of Charleston and the Board Of
Trade of Columbia: In response to
the resolutions Of your bodies rela-
tive to al exhibit of the resources
of South Carolina at Boston in
September, / am directed by the
board of agriculture to say that,
after a full consideration of the in
yitations to have the State represent
ed at the EXpositions to be held at
Boston and at Louisville, the board
ofagrieulture decided that it was in
expedient at this time TO accept
either invitation. There are grave
doubts as to the authority Of the
board to expend money for such pur-
poses; there is certainly no express
authority in the Act creating the
department.
.But even if the authority exists
for the expenditure by the board of
any sum for this purpose, it
was thought that at present it
would be inexpedient to do so. It
was estimated that it would require
at least $4,000 to enable the board
to make proper representation of
the resources of the State. The ex-
penditures for the purchase of the
Parker Hall property and those
which must be incurred in furnish
ing the laboratory and in the ex-
penses of litigation in protecting
the interests of the State in the
phosphate deposits. will draw heavi-
ly upon the funds under control of
the board and render it doubtful
whether it viii be possible to appro-
PIRATE so large sum as $4,000 for
the purposes of securing represen-
tation of the State at either Exposi-
ton.

was the cause Of it. Melton, he
said, had reported to the Govern
ment that there was cause for the
prosecutions and that convictions
could and would be had.-N. G. G.,

bitter and relentless. Dynamite is

dynamite. Successive attempts have
