The Incas of Old.

No man can see Peru without wonder
ing Mt it's grandeur the industry aud the
intelligence of the Inca Empire. They
had arts which the world lsnow nothing
about, knowledge which no other people
possessed, thrift which their cOnQuerors
could moi initiate, and wealth which
made them the prey To every advertu ror
of the sixteenth century, their temples
and palaces were built Of hewn stone
from quar.ios that the Spaniarls had not
boon able 10 discover, and the nloans by
which they lifted blocks Of granite,
weighing hundreds of tons, is a problem
no antiquarian has been ablo to solve.
The great genius and Herculcan strcng th
and long ire, some living to be nearly
two centuries old is due TO tue FACT that
they used no other s.;mulaats CT medi.
c:nes, except tie divine coca plant, which
they believed possessed supernatural
powers over all ills that flesh is heir to.
Science aul experiments Of medical men
prove the coca plant to be possessed ot
marvellous and wonderful tonic and
invigorati,,g properties. Pembefron's $
French Vine Coca, is prepared from the
same coca plant which those people used,
and is making wonderful cures in ali Sec
tons of the country. All who are sufier.

We think it will be extremely unfor-
tunate for the Legislature to refuse to
permit the people Of this County to pass
upon the question of prohibition, tor
such refusal will certainly carry the
question into our primary election ios
members of the Legislature, thus diyld-
ing our people and producing much dis
cord and complication. 1t will be ex-
tremely unfortunate for this course to
result from a refusal to permit the will OF
the majority to rule, when by ordering
an election in April or May we can leave
the question entirely free from political
complication to be decided as the people
wish. The responsibility for any trouble
in this regard will rest upon those who
refuse to submit the matter to the will
of the people.

A COOPERATIVE FAILURE.
The Mutual Self Endowment and Bencyo.
lont Association Goes Under.

FORT WORTH, TEX, December s.
The Mutual Self-Endowment and Be-
neyolent Association Of America, with
Headquarters in this city, and division
offices at Greenville, S. G., and San
Francisco, CAL, has suspended payment:
Three garnishmerts have been issued
here by members of the association. one
for the recovery Of the amount of dues
and assessments psid, and the other two
for the collection Of mature coupons.
No one has been made wealthy by the
failure, bat hundreds OF poor people
have been made poorer. Julien Field,
postmaster here, is president OF the
association. The organization hes col.
lected over 81 ,000,00 and now has sil4,-
600 on hand. A loss Of confidence on
the part or members caused the stoppage
of payment of assessments, and this, in
turn, caused the suspension OF payment
on coupons.
AN OFFICIAL DENIAL.
GREESvILLE, s. c.. December c.
The Mutual Self.Endownent and Be-
nevolent Association Of America, is not
failure. Tho following interview was
had to-day with w. D. May6eld, Presi-
dent of the Atlanta Mutual Self Eudow-
ment and Benevolent Association of
America, in reference TO ycur telegram
from Fort Worth in to.day's issue:
"The associated dispatch yesterday
from Fort Worth is misleading. The
above association was formerly composed
of four divisions and several departments.
The divisions all work under sepa ate
charters ard each is entirely Independent.
The Atlantic division, with Office at
Greenyille, S. c., being the last to with.
draw. The Texas division failed to
make the proper number Of assessments
in the early history of the order. y
special assessment was levied on the
other divisions to meet this deficit, which,
after consultation, the divisions refused
to pay to the national secretary. Hence
the trouble at the national office. The
Kansas Pacific aud Atlanta Mutual Self
Endowment Associations are all strong
and mighty corporations, amply able to
meet ell their claims. The Atlantic
carries about eighteen millions insurance,
and has i'll cash and surplus fund loaned
thirty.fye thousand dollars. A commit
tee of its members will be held on jan
uary 5th, and the Atlantic will bold on
its triumphant career.

We notice from our exchanges that
there is a strong movement on foot to
e5olish the State Agricultural Depart,
ment by the present Legislature. The
department has not been altogether as
useful as We had hoped it would be, but
we think it would be a:mistake to abolish
it, for 1t must be remembered that this
department is the only protection which
the farmers Of the State have against
imposition on the part of the manufac.
gurers of commercial fertilizers. OF
course this protection is not absolute,
but at the same time it affords regula-
tion which is very valuable indeed. The
department, too, has, in our judgment,
just entered upon its proper career, that
of experimental agriculture, as evinced
in its declared purpose to test the adap-
liability of our State to the cultivation of
tobacco. If this department would
establish an experimental farm in the
upper, the middle aud the lower part of
the State under proper management, we
think it would be greatly valuable to the
State. The department last year collect
ed, it is said, about twenty.eight thousand
dollars, which we submit is larger sum
than it should spend as at present con.
Quoted. We think the fish propagation
work of the department has proven q
failure, particularly as the dams across
our leading streams debar large portion
of the State from even possible partici-
patton in the imaginary benefits of fish
culture. But we repeat that in our
judgment abolition is not the most de-
sirable remedy. The department should
be required to turn all of its money over
to the State Treasury, and then the Leg.
islature should make proper appropria.
tions to conduct the work of the depart
ment. This would give an increase to
the States revenue, and at the same time
would maintain the department with its
advantages for protecting the standard of
commercial manures.

II is said that the anti-prohibitionists
are petitioning,the Legislature not to let
the people vote upon the question Of
prohibition, and yet many Of them claim
that they have a majority in the County.
If they believed 50, they would not mind
voting on the subject. There is not a
particle of doubt in our mind that
Anderson County would go dry by abont
one thousand majority if an election
were to come off to-day. The anti:
prohibitionists are wise in trying to
avoid an election, for their utter over
throw is as certain as any matter Of
election can be. The Legislature will
either grant the right to vote on this
question, or take sides with the bar.rooms

Is 1T WELL ENOUGH.
The Me,us and Courier says:

LaO 4ICtUS tGs~ SNWt W. 3oJS
The opinion of the Legislature appears
to be that there is statutory prohibition
enough already in South Carolina, and
that before going farther-if, under any
circumstances, it would be wise to go
farther-it is proper and necessary to
enforce to the letter the laws we now
have. Give the State effective prohibi-
ton outside OF the incorporated cities
and towns-coupled with the statutory
right, which the cities and towns now
enjoy, to prohibit the sale of liquor BY q
vote Of the people-and South Carolina
will come near to being model State on
the liquor question. Any serious attempt
to 60 farther will probably make the peo-
pie balk and pull backwards.
Our contemporary did not seem to
think additional temperance legislation
would hurt the State in 1880, when it
was 80 earnest an advocate of more
stringent liquor laws. We can see no
reason now why we should fear to be
governed by moral and material reasons
in dealing with whiskey than existed at
that time. Our contemporary urges an
impossibility when it asks for effective
prohibition outside of cities and towns,
while whiskey shops are run in full blast
in the cities and towns. To effectively
reach the evil we must have it by Coun.
ties. Now, we do not favor enforced
prohibition against the will Of the people,
for that cannot prove effective; but
when the majority of the people Of any
County favor the law, how can its adop-
ton make the people balk or pull back
wards? The same argument would lead
to the repeal of all penal statutes. Even
the law which hangs man for murder
does not prevent numerous outrageous
murders, nor does any other law COM
pletely accomplish the purpose for which
it is intended, but it would be queer set
of morals that would cease all moral
restraints because sometimes the law
might be violated. Charleston has o
largs Wholesale liquor trade, and since
Atlanta has gone dry, will doubtless have
much larger businessin this line, and
Of course local sentiment prevails
there opposed to any prohibitory move
ment in any part of the State (;
but We hardly think it prudent for the
leading paper in the State to advise a
course to force this question into the
politics Of the country. If the Legisla'
