Help. ASKED fori South Carolina
Farmers.

Capt. Put. Darden, Worthy Mas !
ter Of the National Grange of Pa
!rons Of Hushandry, has issued a
circular calling upon the farmers
Of Mississippi and other State to
contribute TO the relief Of the farm
ers Of South Carolina who suffered
by the late earthquake.
The call states that the farmers
in the earthquake belt have suffered
very severely from that calamity.
their dwelling houses and other
buildings having been seriously in.
iured. Tue chimneys and POUNDS
lions are thrown down and demol-
ished, and the houses in such
state as to render them uuinhabit-
able and exposed to the weather.
The near approach Of fall and
winter necessitates immediate atten-
ton 10 these matters, and in nearly
every one of these cases the farmers
are unable to make needed repairs.
Unless some outside aid can be oh
tanned, these deserving and indus
trious people will suffer still more
severely than they already have.
Not living inside of Charleston,
Sunmerville, or any other incor-
porated CITY or town, these sufferers
cannot obtain relief from the gen
erous contributions sent already by
their fellow citizens. 1t is almost
impracticable for this fund to reach
secluded country spots where they
dwell, and indeed it is doubtful il
tue contributions, already sent, can
do more than aid the needy in the
city and its suburban towns
The relief SO far has principally
come from cities and towns, and
will 90 TO the suffering in other
. cities aud towns. What more de-
sirabIe and grateful act than tc
open the way for the farmers Of
the country TO aid those Of their
own calling, in this time Of earth
quake and distress.
This appeal has therefore beer
made to the farmers Of the country
through the National and State
Oranges, that il may not only result
in tie relief of their destitute breth
rem of South Carolina, bu'
also give the opportunity to The
agricultural interest to show theil
generous and kindly impulses
Their charity would go directly tc
farmers ard CHANGERS.
All contributions should be for
warded to E. L. Roche, p. NJ. Ashley
Grange No l, P. of H., Charleston
' or to A. B. Rose, p. NJ. Pomons
Grange, Charleston.

The Portland Oregonian (Repub-

Of national politics can deny that
President Cleveland is stronger
WITH the people, if not with his
party, than when he was Inaugural
ted" 1t adds "Whcther the
President is sincere man rying to
do his best, and sometimes falling
short Of it, or whether he is an
astute politician, he certainly has
succeeded in steadily gaining rather
than losing ground with the PEG
pie. The Mugwumps continue to
believe in and support him; the
New York Evening Post, Boston

him. Harper's Weekly is not alto
gether satisfied, and yet has not
left the Cleveland camp"

had been troubled with cough so that
he was unable to sleep, and was induced
to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-

relief, but allayed the same extreme sore

The Hazlehurst Signal Copiaha

The Hazlehurst Signal Copiahan
says: The city election is only a
little more than two weeks off and
strange to say it has created but
little talk and no excitement. The
time has been when the election OF
city officers overshadowed a general
election, and congressional election
was a secondary consideration
We have heard of no pronounced
candidates for mayor or marshal,
unless the present incumbents may
be considered in the race, and there
is no reason why they should not be.
Crime has very materially de
creased and the calaboOsc is almost
an unnecessary institution. The
morals of the place have wonder
fully improved and the rowdyism is
a thing OF the past. BE it remem-
bered, Hazlehurst is a Prohibition
town.

The cotton picking machine OF
the Mason Cotton Harvester Com
pany, invented by G T. Mason, was
tested in a field near Sumpter.
South Carolina, in the presence OF
the committee from the New York
and Charleston Cotton EXCHANGES.
and representatives. OF the State
Agricultural Department. The
machine picked cotton at the rate
of $50 pounds per hour without
injury to the bolis or plant. The
general opinion Of those present is
that the machine is correct in
principle, does fairly good work
now and can be made completely
successful.

The Americas, Ga, Recorder
says "The most independent
creature on earth is a farmer, man
who has one hundred and sixty
acres of land, out of debt, with a
little good stock, good health, a
good wife, and sense enough to keep
out Of debt. The most dependent
human being in the world is a far
mer who is mortgaged, whose stock
is of scrub order, who is too lazy to
work, and who sits on dry goods
box talking politics when he ought
to be at home attending to his bust
ness"

Facts About Advertising.

The fact can't be denied that the
business men who advertise are the
men who do the principal part OF
the business of q community. The
more literally they advertise the
better business they do. A bust
ness that is not worth advertising is
not worth following, and there can
not be much outcome in it. 1t is
absurd for man to set up in bust
ness in this day of progress and ex-
pect TO succeed if he does not use
printers ink freely. If he does
happen to succeed it is by sheer
force of circumstances.-Clay

Said a merchant yesterday 'Do
you know that Prohibition Is chang
ing the character of business in the
interior towns. Wherever prohibi-
lion has been adopted the money
formerly expended for whisky is de
voted to something else, and this has
given rise to larger general business,
aud in some instances, new bust
ness. One country merchant told
me this week that he sells fifty pairs
of Cbildren's shoes, where he for
merly sold one. The fathers used to
drink up the shoe money and the
children went baretooted. He said
also that lie sells quantities of wo-
mems hats and bonncts, and never
sold any thing Of the kind before
prohibition was adopted. The hus-
bands had 10 money, so the wives
made their own bonnets out Of calico
and splints now there is no gallon
jug under the bed, and women have
decent headgear and even ribbons
That is q solid fact, and is whole
sermon if you choose to lengthen it
out bit."-MObile Register.
