Choking to Death.

MIDWAY, December ga very re-
markable surgical operation was perform.
ed yesterday by DR.. w. B. Steedley, Of
this place. A child 9 years Of age, nam.
ed George Brabham, son of our towns
man, N. n. Brabham, whilst eating
robin and some nuts had piece lodge in
his throat which stopped his breath en-.
tirely. The rest of the family were all
absent, but on their return few mo-
ments afterwards he was apparently in
the last throes of death, as he could only
move his arms like person about to
expire. A runner was dispatched for the
doctor, who lives about quarter of a
mile off, and who came with all imagina-
BILE speed. After critical examination,
when he found that the child could not
breathe, he. performed difficult and
dangerous surgical operation, cutting the
boys throat and windpipe and introduc-
ing rubber tube into the windpipe, after
which the boy commenced to breathe.
The doctor performed the operation with;
out administering any an@sthetic, and
the child did not appear to regard it at
all. The most wonderful part of it is
that be appears to be mending every
hour, and with every indication that he
will recover. Correspondence NeUs and

officers, not County only in their charac'
Ter. Every other County in the State is
interested in the work of the Auditor
and Treasurer for Richland County as
swell as the people of Richland, and there
is, therefore, some reason why the people
of one County should not have absolute
control of who is to fill these offices.
We believe it would be to the States in>
tercst to send Charleston man to Green
Vile and Greenville man to Charleston,
and so on. to assess property. The effect
would be to have fuller and fairer valu-
alton of property in the State. The peo>
pie do not care so much about these
things, after all, as the Office seekers do.
All they want is polite, efficient and
honorable officials, and they are. by no
means, so anxious to deprive The Cover
nor of the duty devolved on him under
the G. ..stitution as the men who want
the Office, which another good man holds,
are to have an election in the hope of
getting in where, under civil service re-
form, they would have no chance of
securing an appointment.

A Lesson for Charleston.

The Mason cotton harvester and gin
have stood the test and trial and exami.
nations which leave little doubt of their
universal adoption. Nothing 80 impor-
tant to agriculture has occurred since the
invention of the Mccormick reaper. The
two machines, the picker and the gin,
will revolutionize cotton culture, and
will have very important bearing on
the race question in the Southern States.
There is another consideration which
should not be lost sight of. When Mr.
Mccormick, who was at the time living
in Rockbridge County, Virginia, had
perfected his Invention he deemed it ex-
pedient to establish the works for its
manufacture in Chicago, where be and
other members of his family went to re.
side. In the then condition OF things,
and looking to lhe fields in which his
reapers we're chiefly to operate, he doubt
less decided wisely for his own interest:
But, think for moment what it would
have been worth to Richmond, and to
Virginia, if he had chosen this city In
stead of Chicago for his workshops,

acres, and give employment to more
than 1900 men. They turned out last
year 54,S4l machines, and during the
thirty.six years that the inventor lived,
from the time of his removal from vlr'
ginia, they were the means Of building
up VI fortune for him of over $50, 00O, ,Coo.
What they have brought to Chicago IN
the meantime it would not be easy to
estimate. Now the idea we wish to sug
gest to Mr.. Mason and his friends Is that,
while he has done something of immense
value to the South by bis Inventions, ne
may enhance that value materially oy
taking care that the profits of MAKING
his machines shall also enure to the
South. 1t will not be difficult for him 10
find favored location for both manu-
facture and distribution, and if we 10
mot much oyer estimate the demand there
will be for both his harvester and gin,
there are number of places that would
give handsome bonus for the establish

South Carolina's Vote.

COLUMBIA, January 5.-A rumor ran
about this evening that Mr.. E. H. Rut
ledge, Jr., the electoral messenger of the
State, had telegraphed from Washington
for his credentials, and that on account
of his not having them the electoral vote
of the State could not be delivered in
accordance with law. 1t was ascertained
that Mr.. Rutledge did telegraph ON Sat-
urday to Senator Hampton, who was then
in Columbia, asking that credentials be
forwarded him. Senator Hampton left
for Washington that evening.
A duplicate return of the electoral vote
must be delivered by the messenger to
the President of the Senate by the first
Wednesday in January, the 9TH instant,
and credentials are necessary to their
proper delivery by the messenger.
In the absence of other information it
is believed that The electoral board forgot
to make the credentials. As they must
be signed by majority of the member of
the board it seems impossible to have
them out and presented in Washington
by Wednesday.
The law prescribes that of tho returns
sent by messenger be not delivered to
the President of the Senate by the time
prescribed he is required to procure from
the United States Judge of the District
in which the electors met the duplicate
copy furnished him by the electors. The
vote of the State will be counted, but it
may have to be accomplished by this
round about method.

Cleveland and Hurd.

ALBANY, N. Y, January 2.-Gover-
nor Cleveland said last night to an asso.
ciated press reporter, that the statement
made by Mr.. Hurd, at Cincinnati, that
he was president of free trade club, was
not true. The governor further states
that he had never been connected in any
way with any such organization.
TOLEDO. O., January I'm relation
to the circulated report as to an assertion
made by him in reference to the connec.
ton Of Governor Cleveland with free
trade club, Hon. F. n. Hurd says that
he had private conversation in pri-
vate room with few friends in Cincin.
natl, in which the policy of the new ad-
ministration as to the tariff reform was
discussed. In that conversation Mr..
Hurd said he thought Governor Cleve-
land would be found in sympathy with
the views of the majority of the Demo.
cratic party on that point. AS circum.
stance he stated that he had been in.
formed by q prominent citizen of Buffalo
that the organization of the free trade
club in that city took place in the office
of the law firm of which Governor
Cleveland was q member. Mr.. Hurd
never intended to be understood as say.
ing that Governor Cleveland was then
connected with free trade organization,
as be had no information upon the sub.
ject from that gentleman, nor from any
one, except as herein stated The con-
versation was supposed to be purely
private one among party of gentlemen.

Blaine's New Ambition.

WASHINGTON, January St is but
natural that great curiosity should be
manifested respecting Mr.. Blaine's occu-
pations, aspirations, hopes and doings
while domiciled at the national capital,
as we'll as the underlying motives for the
abandonment of his Augusta home and
reoccupation of Washington,
But two months remain of President
Arthur's term, and it will be Mr.. Blaine's
particular pleasure to make these brief
eight weeks as uncomfortable as possible
to his administration. He will scheme
for the rejection of the Spanish, Mexican
and Nicaragua treaties, not only because
their underlying policy is repellant to
that advanced by him while Secretary of
State, but because he is averse to the
aggrandizement of any glory which may
possibly attach to their consummation
through the efforts of the President and
Secretary Frelinghuysen.
The possible election of President
Arthur to the Senate as the successor of
Senator Lapham is very disagreeable
reflection to Mr.. Blaine. He had un-
doubtedly builded upon the hope that
the ides of March would chronicle the
permanent retirement of President Ar
thur from public life, at least for many
years to come, and that the Arthur dy.
nasty would pass into the intangible as q
necessary sequence to his deprivation of
power. Meantime, should nothing more
favorable present, he would be returned
to the Senate from the "Dirigo" State,
to succeed Mr.. Hale, whose term expires
in 1887, in the very middle of President
Cleveland's official life.
Mr.. Blaine permitted Mr.. Hale's elec.
tion to the Senate to succeed Hannibal
Hamlin, and opened the Senate gateway
to Mr.. Frye, who succeeded him when he
resigned to accept the portfolio of State
under the Garfield administration. These
two Senators, however, have from time to
time displayed a disposition to declare
their independence of Mr.. Blaine; but
as the lion is stronger than the whelps,
it is quite likely the king Of the Maine
forest will reach out his strong paw next
year and place it upon the first senator.
ship within his grasp. 1t is a fallacy to
suppose that man of Mr.. Blaine's tenn
perameut can content himself in a
private station, for, while that may have
been the Roman post of honor, Mr..
Blaine has too many irons in the fire and
too largo a supply of recoupmepts to
permit political emasculation in the
prime of his years.

was said to have been discovered by In.

Enforcing Agricultural Liens.

The following is the text of an Act
passed at the recent session of our Legis-
lature amending the Lien Law. The
Act explains itself, and is as follows:
An Act authorizing Trial Justices to
issue warrants for the enforcement of
Agricultural Liens in certain cases.
SECTION l. That when any person
shall have made advances for agricultu-
raj purposes and shall have secured a
Lien upon the crop or crops of the person
to whom such advances may be made,
according to the provisions of law relat.
ing to agricultural Liens, and the amount
of such advances do not exceed one hun.
dred dollars, it shall be lawful for any
Trial Justice of the County in which
such Lien is indexed, upon the produc-
tion of said Lien, and proofs required in
cases where Clerks of the Court may
issue warrants, to issue his warrant direct
ed to Constable or the Sheriff of the
County, recurring him to seize said crop
or crops, and after due notice sell the
same for cash and apply the net proceeds
thereof, or 30 much thereof as may be
necessary, in extinguishment of said
Lien; Provided, that if the person to
whom such advances have been made
shall give notice in writing within ten
days after such seizure, accompanied
with an affidavit to the effect that the
amount claimed is not justly due, then
the Trial Justice issuing the warrant
shall, at the expiration Of twenty days,
decide an issue which shall be made up,
in which the person who may have made
such advances shall be the actor.
SEC. 2. That every landlord leasing
lands for agricultural purposes shall have
the right to enforce his Lien for rent in
the same manner, upon the same condi.
tions and subject to the same restrictions
as are herein provided for persons max.
ing advances for agricultural purposes.
Sec. 3. That this Act shall not be so
construed as to prevent Clerks Of the
Court of the several Counties of the State
from issuing warrants 10 enforce agricul.
tural Liens in all cases now provided for
by law.

about 2 o'clock last Saturday morning,
when he jumped from his window on the
second floor, while suffering with deliriun,

Is Wilkes Booth Dead 4?

The Globe Publishing Company Of
Washington, D. G., have in press small
volume giving history of the assassina.
ton of Lincoln and of the relations of
many distinguished persons to that event
and to Booth. Much of the book is
designed to show that Booth still lives,
and that the reward of 100000 proffered
by Stanton enabled Booth to escape. In
other words, the man whom Booth hired
to accompany Harold from the bridge
over the East Branch, and who was killed
in the barn near the Rappahannock, was
never seen or identified, except by those
who shared among themselves the $780,
900. The writer of the volume insists
that Booth is now with Ell Mahdi, as
shown by extracts from letters from the
Soudan recently published in the London
Times.

Helping General Grant.

New YORK, January 2.-Mr. George
w. Childs, on his arrival in this city, had
long conference with General Grant
relative to the 100000 fund which a
number of the generals rich friends are
raising to clear off his Indebtedness to
William Fl. Vanderbilt for the big loan
that was swallowed up in the Grant &
Ward failure. 1t is now known that the
whole amount necessary to meet the
claim of which Mr.. Vanderbilt himself
voluntarily knocked off 100000, has al.
ready been practically pledged. Allthat
now remains is to arrange matters so that
in case the courts decide that General
Grant was q regular partner in the de.
funct firm, the other creditors vii! not
be able to levy on the war relics and real
estate. 1t was to effect this protective
measure that Mr.. Childs spent all his
labors. The committee who have charge
of the subscription propose to pay MIR.
Vanderbilt 100000, but instead Of CIV
ing General Grant quit claim the
securities will be held by them AS a sort
of trust fund during General Grants
lifetime. The $25O,0O0 annuity fund
that George Jones, of the New York
Times, raised is administered in this way,
and cannot be touched by any creditors
or claimants.
General Grant went out of doors on
Wednesday for the first time in many
days. He visited friend at the Fifth
avenue hotel, and hobbled to his room on
cruteLes. His face looked pale and care.
worn, and he appeared depressed The
movement for raising 100000 to relieve
General Grant from the mortgage
liability has taken practical shape. Mr..
Cyrus w. Field received to-day from d.
B. Wesson, of Smith e. Wesson, Spring
field, Mass, check for $1,000 as his
contribution toward the fund being raised
for the relief of General Grant.
WASHINGTON, January "A promi-
nent government official says that when
in New York few days ago, he learned
that Eve physicians had been called in
consultation to examine the state of
General Grants health, and had arrived
at the conclusion that the General was at
present completely broken down physi-
cally, and he required absolute rest.
