From oh over South Carolina md
Georgia, there is gathered into the
Thornweil Orphanage, in Clinton,
South Carolina, an orphan household
or more than sixty, who are cared for
as Elijah was at the brook Chcrith.
These are the wards of Gods people.
If the Generous hearted Christians
of this and adjourning States should
withdraw their hands, all of these
children would speedily loose their
opportunity of an education, and
would leave this quiet happy country
home, where they are not only kindly
cared for, but also taught useful man
ual arts and given IN excellent com.
mon school education.
cit is good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord" But the Lord him.

The Greenville News Of tho 2d in
stant saws: About two o'clock Sunday
morning the family of Mr.. Deacon,
who lives at Fort Madison, a small
town on the Air Line Rail Road u
few miles this side of the Georuia
line, were aroused by heat and smoke
and falling walls and found their
house in flames. Before they could
get out two of Mr.. Deacon's children
were fatally burned. The fire spread
and four stores, all in the
place, were destroyed with most of
their stocks. The fire is supposed to
have originated from box of hot
ashes left outside Mr.. Doacon's house.

At every recurring general election
there is much complaint in this part
OF the State, about the complicated
system under which we now onioy our
freedom. 1t is hard for our people to
understand the necessity for eight
boxes. The truth is there is no ne
eesdity for it in the upp6f counties
but it is the safe guard Of good gov
ernment in most Of the counties in
the State, and election laws must be
general, We do not think they
should be changed in the least. Ne.
cessity has given them their present
and proper shape, and they should
be allowed to stand as they are, until
every citizen can learn their form,
force and effect.
The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1886-11-11

The boxes in this county for tho
general election are entirely too cum
bersome. A four inch cube would
hold all the votes at each precinct, if
every votor in the county shoald turn
out. 1t is q two~horso load in bulk
to carry ten such boxes ns we now
have to the precinct.

The discussion carried on by the
Greenville News, "Small Tax PAYER"
and Mr.. Tillman, which has attracted
30 much attention, among other things
develops the fact that the State tax
Tor seven Radical years was 500, OO7-
OO')j and the State tax for nine Dem
oeratic years was &6,O98,OOo. The
average OF the former for one wear il
$1,429,672; the average of the later
is $677,555. The difference Der an
mum in favor of the Democratic nd
ministration is 1852, OFT. saved to
the people in State taxes. These flo.
ures are official So anything like o
comparison of the two administrations
as to economy is the highest compl
ment to the present administration
Therefore the party needs nothing
but tie figures to form complete de-
fense to this line of attack. But
however favorable this Slowing may
be it is not a sufficient excuse for re-
'using furthereconomy. This should
% brought about by abolishing the
Agric lltural Department, and with.
lolding further appropriations to the
anal. There are several offices that
aight be abolished without injury to
he people.
