CHICAGO, Jsn. l5.-The embargo put Upon

the strike OF freight brakemen and conduc-
tors, Is serious one here. No trains, ex-
cept passenger, are leaving the city, and en-
ployes about the freight depot are ont OF
work. "Tne strike is small matter" said
a prominent Pennsylvania Road official
here. "In Chicago and the Northwest our
trade will fall of greatly when it 10 under
stood that freight is not being forwarded ex-
cept on other roads" He expressed the,vieW
that settlement of the present difficulties
will be reached shortly.
There is no change in the situation of the
striking brakemen against the double

way. Up to 2 p. N. to-day no effort had been
made to move any freight trains out Of Fort
Wayne since y. yesterday, and no
freiehts have arrived from Chicago or Crest
line. as the yards are already blocked al

day demanded OF the city authorities pro.
lection of their property, and claim that the
city will have to assume the responsibility
of all losses arising from the failure OF the
city authorities to protect the train men IN
their efforts TO move trains. The Chief OF
Police to-day stated TO an Associated Press
reporter that his force Of eighteen men
would be or 70 service against the large
number of strikers congregsted, aud that tie
would make no attempt to enforce the Law
against the strikers unless the authorities

Such speeches as that Of Senator
Sherman a 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'
pie in the South are denied the right
to vote, but the Springfield Repubh'
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 intlml
dation of tho colored vote in South
Carolina and Mississippi" says the
Rcpubhca'', "but elsewhere the South
never had fairer election" and Mr.
Cleveland "could have spared both
those Statee and still have been elect.
ed." So it is-as the Republican says
-"false and wicked to charge thai
he owes his election to crime OF

What is Not Learned In the Public

being able to tell what a monkey

or define the uses of turning lathe,

Pensions.

South Carolina has never we think
been accused of the proverbial in
gratitude of Republics. But it seems
to us she might with some show Of
truth he accused Of degree Of negli-
gence in that she has not made pro-
visions for the care of her disabled
and MANNED Confederate soldiers. 1t
is true that the number iH not very
large OF this class, who cannot obtain
livelihood OF some sort in this favor
ed country. 1t is true also, that
within few years the political condi-
ton Of tie State made it out Of the
question, 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 been
in financial condition to warrant
her in assuming the burden of pen
sion list. But there is no 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 zee 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
we are impressed with the fact that
the State that called upon them for,
and accepted their aid in her hour OF
need, should not forget nor neglect
them in her day OF prosperity and
plenty. The widows ard orphans Of
dead Confederate soldiers need help
that they cannot and will not ask for.
Surely the State will come to their
aid. She owes it to those who gave
their lives and limbs in her defense -

The. Sam Jones tent will be brough
to Augusta in few weeks and spread
in the v.cant lot in front Of St. John 8
Methodist Church fer the great Octo.
ber meeting.
This tent will hold FIVE thousand
people, and it's dimensions are 100 by
$50 feet. 1t will be foored and filed
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.
tional 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, aad
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. 1t
is utterly impossible tor 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 arc willing to board
visitors for few days will make the
fact known.
The great tent will be centrally To-
Gated near St. Johns church, in which

jacks can open the pot. frequently
there is $l2O or more in the pot be-
fore anybody can open it. If any
body holds anything better than d
single pair it is incumbent upon him
to raise the pot-he must do it or
pass out. Blinds, straddles and
raises are unlimited, and bets are
limited only to $1,000. The most fun
in the game, however, is in the pre-

it is great sport to watch the Jolly

At Brevard lived Henry McCorkle,
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

shelter and she remained there until
yesterday when she and McCorkle
became involved in quarrel and he
ordered her to leave the house. She
left in a rage, saying she would con-
jure the whole family. This frighten
ed McCorkle, who offered to let her
come back again, but she refused. She
went to stream near by and gather
ed some mud which she made into q
ball, placed in it several hairs from
her head and six crooked pins. She
then returned to McCorkle's house,
and after pronouncing some gibbcrish
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
begesd the woman to remove the
"conjure ball." but she refused and
left the place.
In a few hours McC cCorkle complain

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

But every hour the mighty power
OF printers ink is seen.
1t moves the world as easily
AS does some mighty thing,
And men proclaim in dcspots 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 hss built its throne
Where minds their tribr tes bring,
And Gods most gifted intellects
Shout printers ink is king!
King Of the world Of thought refined,
No abject slave it claims;
Where superstition's victims pine,
II bursts their servile chains.
In every cline, in coming years,
Will men proud anthems sing,
And round the world the echoes tlaat,
That printers ink is king!

As you walk our streets you will
see almost every man and boy you
meet with pipe, qnid or cigarette
in their mouths. How often are they
pale, and complaining, and often unfit
for business. A change OF climate
will be suggested for their health,
when indeed it ia only necessary Tor
them to leave off the use OF tobacco.
1t will Of a certainty cause nervous
ness, weakness, disease OF chest and
stomach, and weaken their mn.cle
and power Of thought. 1t dwnrls
their bodies and under mines their
health, and destroys their mental
vision. 1t produces indigestion and
low spirits, and ends in a shipwreck
OF the general health, and finally an
early death. Figures chow that near.

this road to destruction, and nothing
else will restore them to their wonted
health but to abstain from this useless
practice.
