An Astonishing Yield OF Cats.

Mt. Oivet, (Ky.) Tribune May 10: There
was q Reunion at the Louisians Hotel, Satur-
day, Of Messrs. Montgomery and Bettye, lucky
holders Of Capital Pre- tickets In TIE Louisi-
ana State lottery. Here ". 70 two men whose
combined wealth only a ehort time ego WAS
only a few hundred dollsrs; now It reaches
high In the thousands IN valuable real estate
which they purchased with the money they
drew, respectively In the drawings OF April,
1884, and November, 1885. DIR. Montgomery,
VINO invested 50 500 In a desirable farm one
mile from Vt. Sterling, informs US that he
raised a good crop last year, consisting OF TO-
0OO pounds Of tobacco, for which he has been
offe red IN cents Oer pound; $40 bushels Of
corn and from two bushels Of a new variety
OF oats (Which ne procured In Phila-
vested 200 bsudles. AS many as
q stalks sproutipg from one grain, some
measuring five feet In lergth, the heads alonG
measuring two feet. Some idea Of the value
OF these oats may be formed, when We ssy that
Mr.. NJ. ives offered s66 for his last years

The value OF Mr.. Montgomery's last wears
products may be safely estimated at $1,000.
In addition TO his Blue Grass farm. he pur-
chased a valuable tract OF land In Robertson,
on which his brothers are raising matchle ss
crops OF tobacco besides other products, And
the splendid DOsse ssions OF these men were &C.
cured by the investment OF 81 In the Lonisiaus
State Lottery! surely the old maxim, "Truth
is stranger than rction,' holds good IN these
Instances.

The enemies of the silver dollar pre-
fer it to nothing. Mr.. Hewitt recently
denounced the coin, and, holding
out four silver dollars in his hand, he
protested against being forced to carry
the heavy things around. A number
Of members ut once stretched out their
hands and offered to relieve him of his
load, but Nh. Hewitt hastily thrust the
coins back into his pocket. Even he
does not yet hate silver so as to throw
1t away. Nobody does. There is not
q gold man in the land who would not
accept o million silver dollars as q
legacy. And there is not a gold man
in the land who taking a silver dollar
at 30 cents would not insist on his
creditor taking it for 100 cents.

An interesting phase of the industrial
question now agitating the country is
the growth Of sentiment in favor
of preventing further immigration.
Several newspapers have advocated
the adoption of this policy. The out
break of the anarchists and the revela-
tons made concerning the importation
of laboring men to Pennsylvania seem
to have inspired a good many people,
foreign born q well as native, that
perhaps the country is choked and
needs u little time to absorb its present
foreign population. A revival of the
old Know Nothingism should be de-
plored, but perhaps it would be well
enough 10 make d discrimination,
The United States ought to have the
privilege Of selection.

A Spanish shoemaker of a philoso-
hic turn of mind afirms that mems
characters and dispositions are more
accurately read in the way they wear
their boots and shoes than in their ply
siognomy, or even their handwriting.
He says: "Show me the shoes of a

months and l will analyze for you his
character. In your shoes for instance,
I see lack Of energy, levity. negligence,
and a disposition to evade the fulfill
ing of disagreeable duties and obliga-

heels and soles of a pair of shoes shows

city of medicines placed upon the mar

cheney of which are unquestioned. We

were subjected to analytical tests,
and it was then shown that there
was no difference in their agricul-
tural value, the price of all declined
and the sales of our home compa-
MES increased; the total sales in
ercaSing from $4,000 tons in 1880 to
10000 tons in 1885. Tie decline
in prices cannot be attributed to
the lower price of cotton, because
this decline is only about Is per
cent, while the average decline in
the price of commercial fertilizers
is 33 per cent. Neither is it due to
competition, because, as already
shown, the number of manufactu-
rers doing business in the State in
1885 was less than III 1880.
Carrying these figures Il little
further: 1t is shown that ammo
mated fertilizers are $3.50 per Ton
lower than in 1880, and acid phos-
pilates SLIGO per ton. lfthc small
lest possible estimate of the effect
of the Departments work in lower
ing the prices is allowed-say 81
per ton-it represents an actual
annual saving Of over 100000 to
the farmers of the state, or $4,000
Il year above the entire expenses
OF the Department. When the De-
partment began its work, there
was Il large number OF dealers who
shipped in small lots of goods
every season, and these manurcs
were almost always fraudulent.
1he safes are oOU p~rdctc0iiy con-
.foed to relio6ie manufacturers rho
are rcpOnSi6ic for their guarantees.
The Department has, therefore,
aided materially in building up a
great home industry, while afford
ing protection to the consumers of
fertilizers.
1t is al easy thing to criticisc, it
is another to perform. 1t is easy
to destroy, but difficult to build up.
The gentlemen engaged in the
active work of the Department
have devoted all of their time and
energy ana whatever Of talent they
may have to making it Il benefit
to the State. If they have failed
of their purpose let the people say
so, but not until they have cXamin-
cd its work, and it should certain
ly not be denounced upon the ono
sided charges of an interested in
dividual.
In conclusion let me add that |
cannot here enter into Il discussion
Of the extra work Of the Depart
mcnt, but we have published II
pamphlet fully setting this forth,
and | shall be glad to mail a copy
of il to anV of VOur readers.

For THE ADVERTISER.
How About the Canal?

South Carolina never was partial
to a penitehtiary, but 1t was insti-
tuted by our Northern friends, who
brought down many things, and
fastened upon us in the days of
radical rule. Itisnow q fixture and
we must t.y and make it pay its
own expenses. To do this, we
must have motive power inside the
walls of the penitentiory to run all
kinds of machinery. Everybody
knows that water is the cheapest
power for driving machinery, and
thcquestion is, whcthcrto 60 on and
complete the Columbia Canal, or
abandon it and let the State lose
all the work done on it. If it is de-
cided to quit the work, what shall
we do with the 1000 cOnHictS now
in the penitentiary'? Our people
will not submit to having the con-
victs hired upon farms and private
works, thereby coming in conta t
with free labor. Humanity says
not to hire them, if we judge by
Il past experience with contrac-
tors in their treatment Of convicts.
If we get this cural completed
manufacturers VIII come IN ana
lease the water power, and hire the
cOnvictS from the State, and the
hands al be kept directly under
the supervision of the Superin-
tcndcnt, and he can SCI that they
+ treated as human beings, and
not rs hrutcs. hilbert has just re-
newcd his lease with the State for
the term of ten years, he to be fur
nished 25O couvicts to work in the
shoe shop. No doubt other con-
tractors will comc in when they
can get motive power for their ma
chincry, and all the c0nvicts can
be employed inside the walls of
tho pcnitcntiary. BY all leans
let Us complete tile canal! But let
the Strictcst economy be used in
spending the money of the State
upon this work.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1886-09-01

The action of the Democratic
Executive Committee i'm disregard
ing the expressed will of the Dem
ocratic Convention, in failirg to
nominate the second choice of the
Convention, to fill the
occasioncd by the death of the
nominee, is a course which cannot
be too severely condemned. Capt.
HUGH FARLEY was entitled to the
place and should undoubtedly have
received the nomination.
We congratulate Bro. bosnian
upon his nomination, and know
he is eminently fitted for the dis
charge of the duties of the office
(Which are, however, not very oner-
ouS,) but, inasmuch as this IL not
the first time the Executive Com
mittee has disregarded the Convcn-
ton, it has become 4 dangerous
overwhelmingly ignoring the
will of the people.
