JONES SPRING.

Cold gales greet us frequently in this
latitude.
The prospectors for coal inthis neigh
borhood have organized a joint stock com
pany, to be known as the Jones Spring
Coal Company, with Jacob Stuckey, ST.,
President. They expect to begin opera
tions as soon as the weather permits.
Arecent visit to Darkesville awoke the
many past pleasures and sadnesses of the
days that have gone by, There are few
citizens there now of our acquaintance
In the last five years many have gone to
that bourne from which no traveller ever
returns; some to other climes-a few still
remain among whom we found F. c. Dun
ham and son, A. B. Balm, James Thomas,
the Butler brothers, together with the
Chapman brothers, and the Pines, yet re-
naming.
In this section of country where roads
are rough, gentlemen using buggies
should see that the spindles are not famed
or cracked. 1t is not pleasant to have a
breakdown 10 or 12 miles from home.
Thomas Any, one of our efficient young
school teachers, and son-in-law of D. N.
KEGS, purposes building on the corner
known as the Jones' corner, in the Spring.
The building now standing on said corner
is very falr representation OF Moan s
Ark. 1t was built when squatter sover-
eighty was in vogue, no doubt.
Mr.. Joseph Kitchen has his planning mill

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.
Pa, ment Of toIored Laborers In the
south.

Under the above caption the Charles
ton Ners and Courier gives sound and
sensible advice TO farmers upon the
manner of payment Of laborers. IL
gives excellent food for reflection, and is
applicable to all sections Of the South.
The Ncrs says;
1t is the experience in South Carolins
that the farmers who pay wages in
money by the day, week, or month, &C
cordng to agreement, have far less Diff
Guilty in obtaining and retaining good
laborcrS than those who only pay st the
end of the year. and who expect their
laborerS to 1--we on credit or by "store
orders " until settlement il reached.
The colored laborcr looks 10 his wages
for the means Of procuring clothing
ard comforts e.. himself and his
family. Even if he receives rstionS for
himself from his employer, he requires
food Tor his wife and children. Tn
less Ee rs paid frequently, and paid in
money. lie must resort to the stores,
and buy what he wants there by means
of duc-blll> or ,tore-oricrS, on on his
own credit. 10 /, ndeullble. we think,
that he pays IA TIN, way considerably
more than would bee requisite Il he had
the money IN his pocket and could pay
~ he goes. Bc,lles. II Is peculiarly
true Of the colored man that he fails to
measure his expense, accurately when
his bills will not have to be paid
until the end of the year. In
his case. far more than IN that Of
the white man. the credit system ia
an encouragement to extravaganza aud
waste. The end OF the year comes, and
a settlement Is had with the employer
and the stoIekeeper. Fortunate is the
colorod labOrer who has any money left
when his debts have been discharged.
IL will be urged. of course, that the
colorcd laborer has no reason to COM
plain. The amount of wages agreed to
be paid HIM has been paid him in money
or in goods. and If has wasted his
money and bought improyidently, il
was ilN Own ihult anu Hc ullob SuHci
for 1t. This is all very true, but is it
the Kind way. or the Just way, or even
the polite way. to treat the colored
laborers who depend so largely
on the white people for advice and
for good example; Is It the way to
encourage the labOrers to work steadily
and regularly throughout the year? II
is not. When the colored man, with
his defective ratiocinatiOn. finds that,
at the end of the year, work he never
50 hard, he has but a few dollars or
dimes 70 show for the labors Of twelve
month he will be- unwilling to work
the next year. He will make up his
mind to give as little work as possible
for the small sum Of money that no
will expect to receive. II is well worth
considering, therefore. whether il is not
to the interest Of the farmers them
selves to make it rule to pay their la
borers in money, and to pay them fire.

simplifying the Tariff.


WAsHINGTON, July 22.-Secretary
Manning has addressed the following
letter to importers asking their views
as to the feasibility of simplifying the
tariff
Investigations Of the methods Of
entry and appraisement Of imported
merchandise have shown that the tariff
laws are largely evaded by underyalu-
stion wherever the duties are levied nd
ralorem. The remedy suggested for
this evil is the adoption of specific du-
ties. With a view Of obtaining infor-
nation on this subject, which may be
useful to Congress in It's fiscal legiS-
lation and serve as an aid in
the improvement Of the customs
revenue system, it is deemed proper
to ask the advice Of merchants whose
business NAV be affected by tariff legis-
lation, and whose Just interests. as well
as those Of the Government, are de-
pendent upon an honest and eff
cient administration Of the tariff,
YOU are therefore requested to
give your views as to the feasibility
of simplifying the tariff and making
the duties specific upon the imported
merchandise with which you are famll-
Jar, now subject to al ralorem rates,
or 10 which the al rdlorem principle is
applied, together with such suggestions
a. you may be pleased to make towards
the removal of incongruities. so that the
administration of the revenue laws be
rendered more effective and uniform.
1t is suggested that your reply be &C
companied by q schedule showing the
rates of the specific duty which in your
opinion should be levied upon the va
.iouS kinds and qualities of merchan'
disc named in such schedule,
and also the specific rates. which,
according to your best information,
would be equivalent to the present al
galorem rates. Information is also de-
sired as to what extent and with respect
to what classes Of merchandise your
firm has suffered injury on account OF
eyasionS of the tariff; and how, in your
Judgment, such evasions may be pre-
vented, whether by specific duties or
otherwise. Your reply will be treated
as confidential, if so desired"
