THE OUTLOOK.

The present agricultural outlook,
not only in the sugar growing dis
trict, but throughout the country.
is not fattering. The sugar grow
er is not much, if any, more than
making living expenses, the
wheat grower il in the same condi
ton whilst all ~agricultul aI::products
are commanding very low figures.
The Hawaiian reciprocity treaty
supplies the entire Pacific slope
with sugar, admitted free from du
ty. The Mexican reciprocity trea
ty, already confirmed by our Sen
ate, aud the new treaty with Spain
will be before the Senate, this win
ter with u fair prospect of beng
confirmed. These two treaties,
when ouce a law, will open the
doors for sugar trom all parts Of
the world flee from tariff duty, and
place::our susar growers in direct
competition with the slave labor of
the West Iudies, the PBn labor
of Mexico aud the Chinese labor Of
the Sandwich Islands.
At first glance q would natu
rally suppose that the result will be
the utter obstruction Of the sugar
industry of Louisiana and Texas.
There ARE other views, however, to
be considered in reference to this
subject. From all information that
can 10 gathered, the sugar indus
try lans"ishes and is not profitable,
either in the Hawaiian Islands, the
| West Indies, Or in Germany and
France.
The world seems to he full of su
gar. The supply exceeds the de
mand. Will not this state of af
fairs regulate itself as all other in
lustries dot h& - NE3LESH
Will not enough of the sugar
growers turn their attention ito
something more profitable, thereby
causing u diminution Of the pro
duct aud cause the demand to ex
coed the supply, when prices will
become 'remunerative This is al
evident aud we'll known result of
all industries. When the supply
becomes top g,rsat l1pr the den,and
any Industry must become disas
trous, and onlv Can be made se1nu
neratlve again by diminishing the
supply autif the surplus witt be tx
h;austed BY natural consumption,
and cause a new demand to spring
up.
But,it is urged thatsugar grow
ersa exnuot change their crop as
may be'dote with other agricultu
rstproducts, rat sugar is = three
or four year crop aud must be made
continuous y insure anysprofit to
the grower.
THIS is true in part only. When
every steamboat or train that
comes iuto the sugar growing re
gions is loaded with corn, meat,
hay,-Qats, s&cjto feeArtliS stock and
labpfsa baitle 1lsntAliots such a
position cannot be sustained.
Formerly, the planter raised his
corn not only for his animals, but
ground the meal requisite to feed
his hands. This present year has
compelled every man to save all the
hay that he will need for his stock
the coming year. The same eau be
done everu year as a general rule.
Cattlerand hogs can be raised
here at less expense than in any
other section of the country.
Diminish the cultivation of 50
gar, BY substituting corn, hay, cat
tie, potatoes, and such other article
as may be needed and a great
change will be perceptible in a very
short time,

A BETTER DAY DAWNING.

After several days of suspense and anx-
iety, darkness is dispelled by the assuring
words that Grover Cleveland is elected
President of the United States. The success
of the National Democratic ticket is now an
assured fact, and the auspicious event marks
a new era in the history of the Union. The
result is a matter of concern to the people of
the whole United States. To them it means
a return to the old ways of constitutional
government-tot the government in its pu-
rity as planned by our fathers. The elec-
tion of Cleveland means the perpetuation
of the freedom of the people and that the
drift to Capitalization, so long feared and
apprehended by our wisest statesmen, has
been stayed. And while the glad tidings is
the harbinger of JOY to all patriotic citizens
North, South, East and West, it is to the
people of the South especially an event of
deep significance. The Inauguration of
Cleveland will usher in Democratic ad-
ministration and put the Federal govern
ment in full sympathy with the patriotic
people of the South. The Southern States
will now be sisters in the Union, and no
longer hewers of wood and drawers Of
water-a section set apart for the prey of
political adventures and alien ofice-hold-
ers. Sectionalism is buried, and all por-
tions of the Union-all true American citi-
Zens having the peace, welfare and pros
perity of the nation at heart-can rejoice as
they have never rejOiced before.

flicting emotions of hope and fear, but on
they cast their doubts to the
winds, and that night celebrated the great
and glorious event of Cleveland's election
by the roar of artillery, blazing of bonfires,
display of fireworks, blowing of trumpets,
and delivery of stirring addresses. In obe-
dience to the call of J. NJ. McNeel, Esq,
our able County Chairman, large crowd
assembled on Main street, and were enter
tained with capital speeches by Senator
Patterson, Congressman Hemphill and Maj:
E. G.. Mcclure. Allusions to the election OF
Grover Cleveland and to the glorious benefits
to result therefrom to the whole country and
the South in particular, elected great ap-
plause. The declaration by the latter speak
er that South Carolina would do her part in
helping to inaugurate Cleveland If the
emergency arises, was enthusiastically re-
ceived. He told the colored people present
that they would also derive great beneht'
from Democratic administration of the
general government. Senator Patterson and
Congressman Hemphill portrayed in ap-
propriate terms the glorious benefits that
will follow from the election of Cleveland.
Mr.. James McNinch, of our town, died on

cline for several months.

Chief Magistracy of the nation by the suf-
frages of my fellow-citizens, will assume
the duties Of that high office with solemn
determination to dedicate every effort to the
country's good, and with an humble reli-
ance upon the favor and support of the Su-
prene Being, who, believe, will always
bless honest human endeavor in the con-
scientious discharge of public duty"
Says the Newark, (N. j. Press, Demo
crat)-If ever the golden rule may be grace
fully followed it is on this day, following
great and bitterly contested election. "Do
unto others as you would have them do unto
YOU" If you would not have others exult
over your defeat, remember the golden rule
and do not exult too unkindly over their dis
appointment. Whether victor or vanquish-
ed, all are citizens Of one common country,
with common interests and common hopes.
Think of these things, and bury the bitter
ness of the campaign at the polls.
- Connecticut has done nobly. A majori-
ty for Cleveland of 1000 rises into grand
eur when it is remembered that there nev-
er was such outrageous bulldozing of work
ingmen by their employees. The Hartford
Times says: "These figures represent the
honest firmness with which great many
poor men stood like rocks against the sly
and seductive approaches of bribery and
corruption. The Blaine bribery fund for
this State was large, and unscrupulously
used. But IL failed to save the tattooed
man. All honor to old Connecticut"

TWO RICH MEMS VIEWS.

After Jay Gould found that he could no
longer manipulate the election returns in
New York so as to show preponderance in
Blaine's favor, or pave the way for stealing
the vote from the Democrats, he sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Governor Cleveland on
Friday last:
II heartily congratulate you on your election.
All concede that your administration as Cover
nor has been wise and conservative, and i'll the
larger field as President, feel that you will do
still better and that the vast business interests of
the country will be entirely safe in your hands.
JAY GOULD"
On the same day the following congratu-
latory letter was sent to Governor Cleve-
land by Mr.. Vanderbilt. The great rail-
road king writes in spirit of candor and
sincerity.
... NEW YORK, November I, 1884.
To the HON. GROVER CLEvELAND-Wy Dear
Sir congratulate you and the people of the
whole country upon your election to the Pres-
dency Of the United States. You owe your
election, in my opinion, to the fact that the
people believed you to be an honest man and
not to any particular efforts made by any fac
ton of either the Democratic or Republican par
ties.
The Independent men, who care more for good
government than for parties or individuals, have
made you their choice because they were con-
vinced that your administration would not be
for the benefit Of any political organization or
favored persons but for the interest of the whole
people,
This is just the result which is most desired.
We have reached the time when party amounts
to little. The country is above all ana wants an
honest government, by honest men. The belief
that we will find it in you has led to your
w. H. VANDERBILT.

"A negro by the name of Criss Little was
killed at Laurens about 10 o'clock last Sun
day morning by Policeman Andrew Mel
son. Nelson had just been assisting Police
man Langston in arresting another negro
for carrying concealed pistol, when Little,
who was standing by, interfered and cursed
Nelson, and finally made at Nelson with
his knife, whereupon Nelson retreated few
PAGES and shot him dead. Nelson surren-
dered to the Sheriff and was admitted to
bail. For some time past it is reported that
Little has borne contentious spirit.
In. Aiken county, on election day, bal
lot boxes were provided at each precinct
and Democratic voters were requested to
express through them their sentiments on
the question of prohibition. Only Demo-
Gratis were requested to vote. One thousand
nine hundred and thirty-three votes were
polled, 60 of which were thrown out because
they were colored, and it was not stated
that they were Democrats. This reduced
the total vote to 1864. One thousand and
ninety-one votes were cast for prohibition,
and 773 against, making 318 majority for
prohibition. The correspondent of the Ne,Us
and Courier giving these facts, also says:
The vote is regarded as fair test of the
sentiment of the intelligence and property
of the county, and the Legislature will be
asked for the passage of prohibition law
for Aiken county. The effort has been to
keep the question out of politics, and it has
been successful. Many colored people pre-
sented themselves at the ballot-box, but
when the plan of election was explained to
them they seemed satisfied. They endors-
ed the movement, however, and will back
up the action of the white people by resolu-
tions and petitions from their churches and
temperance societies.
