Mr.. TIL. Pohl, Greenville's old
and reliable retail liquor dealer,
has bought a lot near the depot Of
the L., N. o. & T. r. r. and is
building a BEER REFRIGERATOR.
He will, upon its completion, re.
ceive his keg beer direct from the
famous brewery of the Christian
Morlien Brewing Co., Of Cincin-
natl, in refrigerator cars. From
his refrigerator building he will
distribute his beer to all points on
the branch roads or main line,
on the river and to any place In
town.
Our beer drinkers may date
from this an improvement in the
flavor of their favorite beverage
And will quaff many a bumper in
honor of the Greenville Gambri
nus who has been first to take ad
vantage of our new railroad facili
ties for their benefit. mch14tl

SOLID FACTS.

In every advertisement we say that
we are dealers In all sorts of wearing
apparel for men and boys; but do you
comprehend that this Is a complete out
fitting establishment, and by clothes we
mean not alone overcoats, coats, waist
coats, and trousers, but shirts, under
wear, neckwear, hosiery, gloves, hand
kerchiefs, and every belonging to gen.
tleman's toilet.
To quote prices seems senseless, for
what meaning has the mere printed
statement that we have clothing at such
and such price!
The proper plan is to see the goods
for yourselves, and If then you cannot
decide between ours and others, take
ours home for the criticism of your fam
lily or comparison with other similar ar
ticles.
You know we guarantee every article
we soil, and agree to take back and re-
fund money for whatever is returned
uniujured.

The Columbus Oil Mills finds its
business considerably increased
this year as compared with last,
especially in the matter of their
Standard Fertilizer. Within a
short time past they have shipped
to planters along the line of the
Georgia Pacific road. over two
hundred tons, and to planters
OH the lower Bigbee, by the
steamer Lotus, about the same
amount. This is a fit illustration
of the value of their Fertilizer
Columbus Dispatch.
When the oil mills become so
localized as to strive to bnild up a
trade in fertilizers with the owners
of the lands raising the seed pro-
duct, the matter of their being q
benefit or an injury will be no long
or a question. We regret that we
cannot note such instances as the
foregoing about the Greenville
mills. We think 1t would be a true
and wise policy in the mill propri-
etors to create and extend induce
ments for planters to buy their
oil cake. A great portion OF
the lands raising the cotton seed
which the Groenville mill purcha.
ses, is psrishing and starving for
the want of fertilization.

We notice that some Of our exchan-
ges think that since Grant is dead
ali the unjust and bad things he did
should be forgotten and they seem to
think contemporary is out Of place
in still speaking about him. 10
such of our exchanges we would gen.
thy remind them that 1t is the duty
Of every Southern man to forever 90
his all towards having everything
connected with the war truthfully
recorded. During times when
iea;h has gained our sympathies
toward Grant We should, knowing
that sympathies influence US, be the
more careful to enter our plea against
any untruthful act or word which is
likely to be recorded as history.
Excitement would even induce South
ern papers to grow wild and give the
soldier Grant, wise statesman
place, aud place him among the
worlds great philanthropy lists, christian
gentleman and high toned heroes. We
would remind them Of come things
which tend to cool their ardor down to
a just point and we rejoice that few
other papers do the same thing.

A patriot should always be recog-
nized and when great patriot can
be honored he should be. The South
is still the home OF patriots. Many
of her sons still love to dream of
her old days. Many Of her men to
day firmly tread the paths marked
out by her patriotic Statesmen OF
other days. Many of US still believe
and ever shall that the fayors Of the
government should be bestowed not
upon political enemies but Away
upon political friends. Not that
the friend has Il right to demand a
favor for himself but that when it
becomes ques:ioc between the friend
and foe as to whom the gift already
and inevitably present should be
given thea we say that the friend
should obtain it. Right and the
verdict of the world will attest the
same thing. Life tenure of Office is
dangerous, it is monarchical. it tends
toward GENERALIZATION. Rotation in

EATONS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.


There is 40 doubt in the world
shat Cleveland is heartily endorsing
the Civil Service humbug. Dorman
B. Eaton has, as is now known, re-
signed the craftsmanship Of the Civil
Service Commission. Eaton is a
Republican OF deep dye and he has
seemed to be Mr.. Cleveland's right
hand man in all his appointments.
Mr.. Cleveland was elected by Demo
Gratis and no doubt from their ranks
could be selected one very suitably to
fill the place soon TO be vacated by
D. B. Eaton, Esq. Perhaps you
would guess that the President would
choose some Democrat for that posi-
ton. Yes Democrat even timid
and non-part san Democrat If not
an old, true and fretried Democrat.
But no you would be mistaken for
Mr.. Cleveland has already chosen
Eatop's successor and the chosen one
is apt to accept. He has taken
a Mugwamp. This Mugwump is
from Republican Massachusetts,
His name is Charles &. Goldman.
Mr.. Cleveland shall learn lesson
from experience yet and it seems thai
sad experience will yet have to
cause him to beware Of Nugwumps
and Republicans.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Ashcvllle Citizen says: it cannot
deny the proposition laid by the
DEMoCRAT' as to the TAX on fertili-
GERS and drummers. But thinks the
argument would apply. with equal
force 70 all taxes.
Or course if we were bound to
have that much money, more than IS
raised from ether sources, our argu-
would not apply with the same force.
cut we say that the Agricultural De-
partment as managed is nuisance,
a humbug and useless expense and
burden to the taxpayers, and ought
tn be abolished and the tax removed
from the dealers in aud manufac-
turers of fertilizers.
If the Safe needs fifty thousand
dollars to pay current expenses,
why make the farmer pay it all, and
exempt the lawyer, doctor, m erchsnt
and every other class.
Is there any good reason why the
farmers who use fertilizers should be
made to pay fifty thousand dollars
taxes to run the government, and
release everybody else from paying
any part of that fifty thousand dol
lars? II there is any excuse or rea-
son for this, we are not able to see
and would thank auY one who will
explain it.
We believe the property Of the
State ought to pay the taxes to run
the government and not the avoca-
tioos and callings in which the enter.
prising and business men are en-
gagged. The State ought to encour.
age rather than hamper and fettel
by taxation all business enterprises
! Equation of taxation is what justice
and the constitution 10th demanl
And in our opinion. the only posi-,
bic way TO arrive at this contemp!a
ted equation is to tax property and
the poll. We think any man, or any
combination Of men in our State
ought to be allowed to manufacture
commercial fertilizers to sell either
in or cut Of the State without being
taxed for tina: privilege except upon
the capital invested, He or they
must give five hundred dollars to the
State for the privilege of making {
fertilizer. This is all wrong.
Every citizen Of the State ought
to be allowed TO invest his money
and engage in any legitimate bust
ness without paying to the State 6
bones of $500 for the privilege. Yes
abolish the agricultural DEP artment
the taxes on fertilizers and drum
mers.
We think the tax on Drummers
and Fertilizers is both unconstitu
tional and unjust, and ought to be
abolished. AS we said before, the
consumers of the fertilizers anG
the goods pay the taxes. aud this We
are oppose to.

CIVIL SER VICE Ian

We rejoice to know that so many
men. especially the working Demo
Gratis, those who have given their
time AMI all their powers to the wei
fare Of their county, those who have
through honest patriotism toiled for
the success of the Democratic party,
we say that we rejoice that so many
such men are found fighting the
Civil Service Law. Being a Repub
lican should constitute offensive
craftsmanship in the mind OF any
Democrat and pice ue'sa. There
should be no law to designate those
suitable for certain positions. The
president and Others who appoint
should not be restrained by any
law bat on the contrary they should
have the greatest liberty to select
whom they see tit for any Office and
select either from the ranks CT the
party they represent OF from the op-
posing party. Those who have the
power to appoint should be trusted
as to their Judgment and they would
always select men capable OF per
forming the duties OF the Offices
Tie question OF partisanship should
not enter the case and neither
should non partisanship. A mans
being partisan, bitter and earn
est partisan should be Of 10 weight
whatever either in his favor OF
against him as regards his fitness
for being appointed to any Office
whatsoever. A mans being nom
partisan, a gentle, mild and timid
man, perhaps never having cast a
vote should be unobserved as fan
as concerns lis appointment to
any Office. But what ever be
his partisanship let his prin-
ciples be in harmony with those OF
the appointer or the party he repre-
sents. Let his heart, his principles
be right, however much or however
little lie displays them. When q
candidate for Office is sup
posed by the appointer te
hold pure and correct politics. views
his partisanship should not be count
ed against him by any means but
on the contrary those who have aid
ed the supposed good and now sue
cessful cause should De given the
preference every time over those on
Iy their equals in other respects. Il
he honesoa Is he competent3 Is hi
faithful to the constitution? These
three questions sboull be enough
law on this subject. The Civil Ser
vice Law and the Civil Service
Commission should be blotted Ou
forever and in their sJead the above
three questions should be placed
and then forever let the presiden
and the appointers select whom
) they please from those who answe
: the questions in the affirmative an(
if the people are not then suitet
they will soon notify those wh'
make the blunder.
