SIT Will Not Do"

The News & Courier has suddenly
discovered that there is imminent
danger of the negroes regaiuing con-
troll of the. State and proposes to
meet the danger by recognizing
our present scheme of State govern.
ment and proving for large number
of representatives of property in the
.legislstue. 1t is all well enough to
disguise this Revolutionary scheme as
shield against the negro, but it will
deceive nobody and will cetainly not
deceive the poor white man whose
equality before the law right it
threatens.
This census matter has revived and
forced the issue between up country
and low country. However we may
dislike it, there is no possible evasion
of it and it may as we'll be faced.
The up country has been fighting
for the interests of property in this
State since the war. 1t contains a
great body of small property own
ers, the class on which taxation falls
most heavily, and its press and repre-
sentatives have incurred ridicule aud
hostility by their persistent demands
for economy and low taxes against
the extravaganza Of the low country
democrats, who have called to their
aid radical senators and representa-
tives to foist unjust taxation on the
people. The low country has been
holding power in the Legislature an
the democratic convention by it's black
population. Now that the up coun
try white people have gained enough
to break that hold, this property
issue is sprung. 1t will not do. It
may as well be dropped now.

JALAPA.
PHIL,

Conference of the A. r. Presby-
terian Chrrch on Saturday before the
fifth Sabbath in this month.
We had a good snow on last Fri
day. 1t would average about three
inches.
Last Saturday was the coldest day
that has been for many years, and it
still continues cold.
| have heard Of a great many
chickens freezing on last Saturday
night.
There has been more moving among
the colored people this winter than
usual.
Nearly every farmer in this imme-
diate vicinity has laborers enough
for his farming purposes, but I hear
much complaint of scarcity of hands
in other neighborhoods.
Miss Minnie Reed, Of Laurens,
who has been spending Christmas
with the Misses Chalmers, left for
home last Monday. I think she
made quite an impression on some of
our dudes, from the number that Wis
tied her while down, and also from
the number that came to see her leave
for home. One of our dudes could
not stand to see her leave, so he
mounted the train and said he would
see that she got home safe. l can't
say whether he will come back single
or double. JAN.

Not the Oldest.

We would say to our esteemed contem-
porary, the HERALD & NEWS, that while
Mr.. James Gauntt has liYed to be an old
man, he is not the oldest in the County.
Mr.. Abram Moore, who resides near
Prosperity, is now in his 80 or 91st year.
In speaking of the venerable DR.. Ruff
and Mr.. James Gauntt reminds us of our
boyhood days, when we used to visit
their families. We have known these
gentlemen ever since we were a wee
little fellow.-Prosperty Reporter.
At the time we made the statement
we had in mind Mr.. Abram Moore, but
were not sure about his age, butw un-
der the impression that he was 81 or 81.
We yield to him the palm OF being the
oldest man in the county, and hope he
may live to see many more years.

Effects of the Cold.

Effects. OF the Colo. .r..
The extreme cold has had q. most dis
astrous effect upon the menagerie OF
Master Eugene Greneker. Saturday
morning last he discovered one OF his
pets, a beautiful little Guinea Pig, frozen
stiff and dead. Fearing like result to
another OF the same kind, he removed it
to the house and carefully bestowed it
away. On examination Sunday morn
ing it was found that this one also had
succumbed to the cold, and was dead. On
Monday morning, to his great grief, his
pet alligator was also found stiff and
stark. Thus in the lapse of three nights
three of his pets have found the weather
too cold for them, and have gone to the
happy hunting grounds. 1t will be some
time ere this youthful Barnum will be
able to recover his loses.

A Mean Thing.

A great newspaper reader was out
hunting recently, and storm coming
up he crept into hollow tree log for
shelter. After the storm abated he en-
deavored to crawl out, but found that
the log had swelled so that it was i'm
possible to make his exit. He endeav-
ored to compress himself as much as
possible, but with Indifferent success.
He thought about all the mean things
he had ever done, until finally his mind
reverted to the fact that, instead OF buy
ing his paper like man, he was in the
habit of borrowing from his neighbor.
On this he felt so small that he slipped
out without an effort.-Co21na6ia Record.

Mammoth Water Power.

Engineers pronounce the project of
tapping Niagara river by means of a
canal entirely practicable, and experts
have declared that not elsewhere with
in the known world are there such
natural advantages for the creation of
a gigantic water power, and that it can
be delivered at LOckpOrt to the ex-
tent of 300, 0O0-hOrse power, if so much
shall be wanted, at a minimum of ex-
pense. Lake Erie and all the great
upper lakes would be the mill pond for
this power, the Niagara river the head
race and Lake Ontario its tail race.
The supply of water can never be di-
miDished by drouth no spring floods
nor freshets will tear away the dams,
for there will be no dams. The sup
ply of water will be uniform, uninter-
rupted and practically Unlimited. At
the ordinary capitalized value of a
horse power this would add about
500, 000,O 900 to the material resources
of the country.

Maids Who Would Marry.

The orders which are received from
the Board of education at the public
schools are sometimes amusing, and
are frequently characterized by the
teachers as ridiculous. On Friday the
principal of one of the grammar schools
of YOrkville received an order to find
out whether any of the teachers had
been married in the last year. The
principal noted the necessary questions
on pieces of paper and sent them to
the several teachers, with request for
their answers. When these answers
were returned one of them said: "No,
but ready" Another was: "No but
anxious to-" One we'll advanced in
years said: "Waiting for chance"
The next, a bright, charming young
lady, "Willing to-" "Single blessed
ness is good enough for me-" said one
who had been Tilted. And then, one
who must needs take early oppOrtuni
ty if she expects ever to obtain matri-
monial bliss responded "No !" with
a falling infection, and in parenthesis,
''Where's the man ?"
