South CarOlina'S Cotton Crop.

We insist upon 1t, Notwithstanding
the natural demoraliz .tion among our
planters, that South Carolina will
make 100000 bales Of 400 pounds
weight this year.
We reach these figures by system
of averages from period to period,
which will be found far more reliable
than this or that mans demoralizsd
view of things. South Carolina near
ly always undertakes her crop in her
estimates, whilst Georgia overvalues
hers.
This crop in South Carolina would
call for something over 100000 bales
of 400 pounds for the country. Such
a crop ought to command good fair
prices, with anything like reasona

Local option In Georgia,
The Result Achieved by Long Prohi-
bition Campaign.

ATLANTA. GA, September 10
The Local Option bill has been pass
ed by the House as it came from the
Senate, and is now law. The bill
provides that upon the application for
prohibition signed by one tenth Of the
voters in any County. the Ordinary
shall hold an election 10 determine
whether or not apiritnous liquors
shall be sold in that County. All
persons qualified to vote for members
of the General Assembly are qualified
to vote in this election. The tickets
shall be written "Fur Sale" and
Against Sale If the result of the
election should be against the sale
the Ordinary shall give notice once a
week for four weeks and the Act
shall take effect as soou as the re
suit ia ascertained, Iexcept as to the
vested rights Of persons whose an.
nual license has not expired. If
the result OF the election should he
: for sale" no other election on the
question shall be held in that Coni ty
within less than two years. When
any County goes "against the sale
no person shall sell or barter, direct.
ly or indirectly, or.give away at his
place of business, or furnish ut any
other public place, any alcoholic, spir-
ituous, or malt liquors, or any other
drinks which produce intoxication.
Nothing in the bill is to prevent the
manufacture, sale and use Of domes
tic wines or cider, or the sale Of wines
for sacramantal purposes, provided
they are not sold by bar rooms at re-
tail.
Licensed druggists will not be pre-
vented from selling or furnishingpure
alcohol for medicinal or scientific pur.
poses. No election can be held n any
place where the sale of spirituous
liquors is directly prohibited either by
high license. local option, or other
leh hislation, 80 long as these local laws
remain in force. This is the Local
Option bill, which represents the
climax'of long prohibition campaign.
1t is probable that under its provi-
sions nearly 100 elections will be
held in this State between now and
the end of the year.

sam Jones' Tent.
Cloth to Cover Five Thousand People
TO be Spread on Greene Street,
Preparing for the National
Holiness Campmeetfng.
Auq,:sta Evca.ia,q Ne,os.

The. Sam Jones tent will BIZ brought
to Augusta in a few weeks and spread
in the vacant lot in front Of St. John 3
Methodist Church for the great Octo.
Der meeting.
This tent will hold FIVE thousand
people, and its dimensions are 100 by
lS0 feet. It will be hoored and filled
with seats, and the tent itself is wa.
ter-proof. Sam Jones Gays he never
knew rain to interfere with religion,
and he has preached to as big crowds
under that tent in the rain as when
the sun was shining. The tent was
constructed while he conducted the
big Nashville revival, and he is now
using it ct his old home in Carriers
Vile.
This tent will be used for the Ma.
.ional Holiness Camp Meeting, which
will open in Augusta on the Sd Of
October, and remain in session ten
days and perhaps longer. People
will come from all over the Union, and
the preparations are about comp lete
for the session. Visitors will pay their
way, and all who will take boarders
during the meeting should leave their
names at Pendleton's book store. it
is utterly impossible for the hotels to
accommodate the crowd for there will
be several thousand visitors. 1t is
hoped, therefore, by those in charge
Of the meeting, that all citizens and
housekeepers who are willing TO board
visitors for a few days will make the
fact known.
The great tent will be centrally 10.
Gated near St. Johns church, in which
thosew who cenaot get neats. can adj
iiourn for special services. The tent
itself is too large for the space in the
vacant lot, and will extend out in the
street about fifty feet or to the park.
Tho authorities have granted this
permission, and the Immense affair
and the coming 70 the city will be the
centre Of interest in the early days Of
October.

South Carolina has never We think
been accused of the proverbial in
gratitude of Republics. But it seems
to ps she might with some show Of
truth be accused of a degree of negli-
gence in that she has not made pro-
visions for the care of her disabled
aud manned Confederate soldiers. It
is true that the number is not very
large of this class, who cannot obtain
livelihood OF some sort in this favor
ed country. 1t is true also, that
within a few years the political condi.
tion of the State made it out of the
queation, to do more than save the
State from the clutches of the thieves
and vandals that then had her in con.
troll. 1t is furthermore true, that not
until quite recently has the State bsen
in financial condition to warrant
her in assuming the burden of pen,
sion list. But there is 10 doubt now
of her prosperity. Our observations
confirm the report OF the statistics
that the State is on the high road OF
prosperity.
Daily we gee some veteran of the
war with an empty sleeve, or wood.
en- leg, or who is suffering from the
effects of exposure and wounds, and
wa are impressed with the fact that
the State that called upon them for
end accepted their aid in her hour Of
need, should not forget nor neglect
them in her day OF prosperity and
plenty. The widows and orphans o.
dead Confederate soldiers need help
that they cannot and will not ask for
Surely the State will come to theil
aid. She owes it to those who gave
their lives and limbs in her defense =

Such speeches as that Of Senator
Sherman q few days ago cannot do
any harm when the antidote Of truth
is promptly applied by newspapers Of
his own section. Senator Sherman
labored very hard to convince the
people of Ohio that the colored peo.
Die in the South are denied the right
to vote, but the Springfield Repubk.
can reminds him that in the eleven
States which seeded, Mr.. Blaine re-.
ceived 775,000 votes, against Mr..
Cleveland's 100000. "There was
probably some suppression or intiml
dation Of the colored vote in South
Carolina and Mississippi" says the
Republican,, "but elsewhere heSonth
never had fairer election" and Mr..
Cleveland "could have spared both
those States and still have been elect
ed" So it is-as the Republican says
-"false and wicked to charge that
he owes his election to crime or
crimes. '-News and Courier.

They use no chips, and nothing less

players; the play begins with $40 in
the pot. Nothing less than pair OF
jacks can open the pot. frequently
there is $l2O or more in the pot be-

limited only to $1,000. The most fun
in the game, however, is in the pre-.

quently the Jackpot is up to $4,000

it is great sport to watch the jolly

of their hands. Sharon ia usually
the luckiest player Of the set, but he
sometimes gets nipped. ohe after

The Farmers.

The farmer is now hunting around
to buy seed oats, seed barley, seed
wheat and everything else he needs
to put into the ground. This is a
pretty state of affairs fora comnhu- \
nifty that pretends to have farmerslas
the dominant and controlling element
and who pay the taxes and run thiTga
generally. We have a good climate
and soil. Labor is all that is needsd
but it must be wisely directed. Tbe
owner, of the land must take char &
of it. lie cannot afford to let a
ant with lean OK take the

Farming is the best and sureat caiE

in danger of starving. He can
ways have something to eat..and som2
thing to clothe himself and family
He can have it with light work AMI
small expense. A good living is.ss
dead sure thing.
But the farmers of the country will
not write on anything intended for
their good. They will find fault aid
split up into adverse factions. without
the slightest excuse. Il. one has

new way of ploughing he would not
tell another the secret for all the
world. In many other like instances
they are secretive and do not commu.
nicate to each other matters of the
most vital Importance to the prosper
ity and success of the occupation.
All other occupations have leagues,
unions and associations but the farm.
ers will have none of it unless it is
kind of secret organic .tion like the
Grange which made more. money for
the man who got it up than for every
mon woman and child WhoeWas sd
mitted to it.
The inspiration of the thing was
wrong. In fact it was an attempt to
kill out the merchants by force and
arms as if they were all a thievine, op-
pressive and uncomfortable set. No
man made anything out Of the Grange
except to get an insignificant office
and wear q brown linen apron at a
country barbecue. Of course The
farmers furnished the barbecue and
were al the expense. The town crowd
and Tho boys and girls from the coun-
try had the fun and profit. The farm
ers didn't get their goodsany cheaper
and went on in the same old way
raising cation and buying everything
needed.
Things will be 10 better however
until the farmers take things into
their own handa. As long AZ they
come to town and allow three or four
lawyers to conduct their meetings
they will never be any better than
th " are now.-A6Jeuilc Medium.

Died Of Fright at a VOOdOo.
-Four Colored People Give UP Their
Lives Because or ConJurcr.

HENDERsoNv1LLE, N. O. Sept. s.
At Brevard lived Henry McCorklp,
colored, with his wife and four chill
dren, aged respectively, nine, seven,
FIVE and two years. Three or four
days ago a colored woman named
Carver came there, saying she was a
Voodoo doctrees. They gave her
shelter and she remained there until
yesterday when she and McCorkle
became involved ina quarrel and he
ordered her to leave the house. She
left in rage, saying ahe would con-
jufe the whole family. This frighten
ed McCorkle, who offered to let her
come back again, but she refused. She
went to a stream near by and gather
ed some mud which she made into a
ball, placed in it several hairs from
her head and six crooked pins. She
then returned to McCorkle's house,
and after pronouncing some gibberish
she fell on her knees and thew the
"conjure ball" against the door of
the house, where it adhered. Nc.
Corkle was half crazed with fear and
begged the woman to remove the
"conjure ball." but she refused and
left the place.
In few hours McCorkle complain
ed Of feeling i'll, and soon afterwards
his wife was compelled to take her
bed. Before nightfall all the children
were i'll and complained Of gripping
pains in the back and stomach. A
neighbor who happened to be pass
ing came to Hendersonville and se.
cured the services Of two physicians
who repaired to thespot. They found
McCorkle dead and his wife dying,
and before assistance could be render
ed she was dead. Emetics were ad-
ministered to the children. the ply.
sicians suspectipg poison. Two chill.
dren died before midnight. The other
two recovered. An autopsy reveals
that no trace of poison could be found:

PRINTERS INK Is KING.

There is host of men who boast
Of powder, cotton, steam;
But overy hour the mighty power
OF printers ink is seen.
Itmoves the world as easily
AS does some mighty thing,
And men proclaim in despots' ears
That printers ink is kingl
The man of gold, Of wealth untold,
Printers ink may scorn,
Or knit his brow, nor deign to bow
To one so lowly born;
But printers ink has built its throne
Where minds their tributes bring,
And Gods most gifted intellects
Shout printers ink is kirgl
King of the world of thought refined.
No abject slave it claims;
Where superstition's victims pine,
It bursts their servile chains.
In every cline, in coming years, ~
Will men proud anthems sing,
And round the world the echoes float,
That printers ink is king
