A DEMOCRATIC OUTRAGE.
How a United States Supervisor OF
Election was Treated in Fairfield.

The following card is published in the

Soro on the morning of the election
and arrived at the poll ut six O'Clock.
and found great many of my white

asked if | was Supervisor. answered
that | was. My commission was called
| for and ScrutiniZcd. | was then invited
in and handed a chair by one Of the
managers of election. was also fur
nlShcd with pen and ink, and was
treated with such respect BY the mana
gers that | scarcely could believe that
was representative of the Ethiopian
race. really cannot believe that a set
of my colorcd brethren would have
treated me with such respect Well,
when little is known,a little is rcquir-
cd. 1t was the quictcst election ever
witnessed in my life. did not see q
Republican ticket all day, but believe
if there had been LOCO Republican
votes in +lat box they would have been
counted just rs they were cast. don't
bclivc there could have been any more
honest election in the United States
than there was in Winsboro or would
have been even with much larger
number Of votes cast.

J." Z" P'iaiiiouht uuty, LOT FARMERS rs Tor
merchants or profcssional.ln but it is
insisted that, within his means, the
farmer should prudcntly improve his
surroundings and enjoy his existence.
Our moralist says: lie has rothing to
fear and nobody to envy. OF one thing
he is sure all his days, and that is suf-
iicicnt living; and that is what other
men are never sure Of without single
pang of doubt or apprehension. There
is his land; there is his home there is
all the animate and inanimatc machinery
Of his establishment, and for the rest he
looks in profound trust to the bounty Of
| Heaven"
| II Southern farmers are not sure Of a
sufficient living it is because they have
not industry or talent like Mr.. Uhl, and
1T may be that in the hurry to get rich,
they have become the prey Of specula-
tive sharks at Chicago or New York.
We dare say that many Southern
farmer to-day is in distress because Of
yielding to bats held out in cotton r,.-
lures or other deccptions Of that char
acter.
The curse Of the day, dcmoralizing
everything in town or country, is the
worship Of money and the rabid desire
to possess it by some royal road. That
lust Of wealth has distempcrcd our pco-
pie, merchants and farmers, to great
degree, and its pursuit has led to tlisas
ter in numerous cases. We do not be-
licve there is any true happiness in de-
vouring greed of gain or the possession
of money acquired in any way except
by honest toll.
On this point our Northern contcm-
poraIy speaks as follows:
"lnstcad of this unworthy and dcmor-
alizins anxiety to get rich. if the aver
aSe farmer, once being solidly cstab-
llShcd. would resolve to enlarge and cx-
alt his life rs it is. to make more out of
that, to enjoy as much as possible of
what there is to be enjoyed, to adorn
and bcautify his homc-that only para
would find all his daily tasks far easier
even to the extent y; being delightful.
he would feel rich where now, with
more money, h. feels all the time poor,
and he would rid himself Of false ty-
rart in the form Of increasing parSimo-
ny that holds his nose to the grin;lstonc
ill he is flunS into his grave. If farm
crs only knew it, they could easily be
the richest men on rarth.'
| Ninc-tenths, perhaps, Of Southern
farmers are not now so much intent
on getting rich as upon keeping out of
debt and preserving the simplest com
forts Of existence. MI Uhl has shown
them how atisfactory living can be
made on the poorest soil by good man
agcmcnt, and we have no doubt that
one part Of his programme involves Just
such judicious expenditure as contrib
utes to happiness. The fault with only
too many of the farmers in this section
is not parscmony but extravaganza.
When their crops turn out we'll they
spend their money freely. What they
need is not only the Uhl method of
cultivating the earth, but an avoidance
of the pitfalls that bcSct their path out
side the farm. We are firmly Of opin-
ion that the man Of sense who makes
his farm pay, and who does not try to
get rich via brokers' or factors office,
is, in all essential matters. if sober and
moral, one of the happicst of mankind.

General had, rs if by miracle escaped
wounds until at charlottesville, when
it seemed his guardian angel deserted
him, for he was struck by three bullets
in quick succession. The first went
though the right hand, lodging under
the skin. The next entered the left
forearm just below the elbow and came
out just below the wrist. completely
shattcring both bones, This was fol-
followed by an ounce ball crashing
though the left arm near the shoulder
scverng an important artery. TO add to
the catastrophe his horse took fright and
dashed madly though the timber before
he could get the rcins gathered up in.

Farming and Getting Itich

Farmer Uhl, Of Richmond county,
has told his fellow asriculturalists how
to make poor lard pay. There is no
mystery about it. 1t is the sound busi-
ness principle Of thrift and intelligence
applied to tiling Of the soil. Nothing
must be wasted. Everything must be
utilized. All men Of brains who arc
disposed to farm as Mr.. Uhl does ought
at least to make good living and enjoy
the rare blessing Of content. But the
majority Of farmers, as Of all other pco-
pie, are not willing to pursue this plan,
or else have not the practical talent to
do so, and hence there is more failure
than success. We recently came across
an excellent article in some unfamiliar
agricultural periodical which in
sisted that farmers of all mon are the
very last ones who need trouble them
selves about riches as other people do,
Possessing and living upon their own
productive acres, they have all tho
requisite resources Of wealth constant
ly in their own hands. They arc sure oil
shelter, CT food and Of nccdful clothing
! to toll and moil, pinch and screw, starvc
and deny. merely to be accounted
worth certain amount of money, is
only wanting the precious term Of life
which might be used to far better pur.
pose.

Four Times Around the World
Four Times in one Day.

A reel Of cotton thread, in its ordina-
ry every use. is pretty bit Of insignili-
cancc, but when traced to its source is
seen to have belongings and surround
ings which entitled it to be ranked with
the leading features OF our industrial
life. The simplest statement that the
thread works Of Mess. Clark, of Pars-
ley, England, employ between three
and four thousand work people, that
their group Of five immense mills con-
tains over 100000 spindles, and that
these factories turn out every day sufIi-
cicnt length of thread to 60 four times
round the world, will be enough to
show that, unimportant as the bobin o
thread may be, taken singly. it is, be.
fore its dispersion, a member Of mul.
titndinous aggregate, the extent o.
which is bcwildcring to compute.

Fort Duncan for Rent.

This property was selected by the
United States government for Its altitude
and healthy locality. 1t commands u
view of Eagle Pass, Piedras Negras, the
Rio Grande and surrounding country.
There are about 10 houses which are
built In systematic order. They are all
substantial, of brick, rock and adobe.
The walls are of extraordinary thick
ness, which are so well adapted for heat
and cold. The ventilation Is perfect In
each building, and large cisterns are
connected with few Of them. The
stables are large and convenient and en-
closed. The arrangement and capacity
of some of the houses render them suit
able for boarding and sanitary purposes.
The soil Is sandy: the walks and avenues
are graveled and well erased. These
are situated in the limits, and just far
enough fro n the bustling, busy portion
of Eagle Pass. which is well known as
an enterprising and progressive town.
Health seekers, and particularly those
afflicted with pulmonary diseases, would
do well to look for homes like these,
where the pure dry air is so invigoratiDg
and the pleasant nights and quiet days
are SO necessary to the invalid. The
houses can be rented separately at rea-
sonable, low and satisfactory prices, or
the whole property may be leased.

An alarm Of fire reached the city at

Some men, 1t seems, were employed in
building a new carriage house, and in
smoking set fire to the building, which,
together with the stable, old carriage
house and large wood pile, were con-
sumed, though the wood pile was partly
extinguished by the workmen. The loss
is not estimated.
