last Sunday evening Rev. Bradford,
the M. +. minister Of this town, eu-
logized the Catholic church as being
the great ,break-water against the
tide of profanity and intemperance
that threaten to overflow our repub-
lie. Such disinterested testimony is
complimentary to the Rev. gentle
mans head and heart.
Last Wednesday evening as Au-
gust Peterson was returning home
from Lodi, near which place he
lives, he was struck by lightning
and himself and horse killed. So
powerful was the stroke that silver
money he had in his pocket was
melted. His clothes were torn from
him also. Some children going to
school the next day found the body
and notified his friends. The fun
eral took place Friday.-Berestord

was largely attended by our citizens.
Mrs. NJ. Hoffman, the president,pre-

Rev. J. V. Hines, Rev. L. P. Sabin
and Rev. L. Bradford. The music
by the choir was excellent, being &C
companied by the organ, violin and

gentlemen's remarks was principally
on the temperance saloon business.

the Old negro was TOO feeble to sit up
in the buggy, and that the only way
to bring him was to tie him in 50 that
he could not fall out. He proposed
to the old mans children that lie
should leave him; that they should
bring him to Newberry the next day
in a wagon, and he would meet them
there and carry him to Tie poor
house. The reply was: 40; take
him on now. We are afraid he
would die before morning" He ate
nothing at Ill after reaching the poor
house, but lived ten days.

The Pay of Jurors.

1t frequently occurs to US that the
pay of jurors is entirely too small.
Some Of the jurors who served dar.
ing the recent term of Court had
over fifteen miles to come, conse-
quently they had to ride horseback
or in their vehicles. Their pay is
only $3.50 day. Suppose they had
to pay for board 81 per day (Which is
quite low for transient board,) and
they have so cents with which to
feed their horse. To defray their
expenses with only $3.50 they have
to make special arrangements. And
again the jury ticket which they re-
ceive for their services now can
not be collected until next fall,
and often they are sold at a dis
count of from 10 to 90 per cent.
They should be paid at least $3.50
or $500 day.
Apart from the facts above cited
they are frequently forced to leave
their business which is worth more
to them than the paltry sum they re-
ceive as jurors. The weather may
be cold and disagreeable but they
have to 90 all the same. Or it may
be in juno when their growing crops
need all the attention they can give
them, or in September when they are
busy gathering what they have made.
1t is all right when they are subpe.
naed to attend court that they should
be forced to obey the mandates of
the law, but We contend that they
should receive more pay. We do
not believe that there is fair mind
ed taxpayer in the county who would
object to the Legislature passing an
act providing for increased pay, and
to the Legislature we must look for
such a change.-Wateree Messenger,
Feb. OH.

Farmers NJ Orta ges.

The system Of mortgaging crops,

some peculiac mis- s"ortune, are Obliged
to do so. 1t is to be regretted tnat
tbere are good many in every part
Of the cOuntty who are obliged 10
resort to mortgages, and who have 10
pay ve,y heavy percentages Cor the
credit they obtain.
Taking the whole South. there are
indications that ia q few years the
mortgage s}stem will be almost, if
not altogether, abandoned. 1t not only
has proved improbable and Juinous
to the farmers. but it is unpleasant
aud undesirable to the merchants.
The motga9e system is one O. the
evils That invariably correcys itself:
but the remedy is a mos; disas ee;

in ten who is forced to mortgage bis

of prosperous farmers who started
with nothing but health end good

who have been reduced from aflu-
ence to poverty by avoidable er, ors
and want of thlii't aud economy.
This a good motto for all young
farmers: 1T is infinitely better to
operate a one-horse farm on a cash
basis, than to operate "a larger one
on a credit" With q small farm,
conducted with industry aud wisdom,
success Is almost certain. With a
large farm conducted without large

is almost certa:n.-K"02ree Courier.

the day the Grand Jurors were here,

good enough. And the cloth that |
bought on The 23d of January is not

is inferior I will have to 90 back on
the merchant | bought it from. but l

In regard to the Physician. that is
not by business; but as the commit
tee asked NE about him and Ireplied
to their questions feel it due him
and them to make some explanation.
The committee said to NE that they
had heard the Physician lad not done
his duty, and asked me what thought
about it. lreplied that that was not
my business. Upon their pushing
the question, told them that had
said heretofore | thought he was not
carrying out his contract fully. That
remark applied to last year. At that
time his contract was to visit the
Poor House every other week. Some.
times he did not come every other
week. lie has never refused to come
when sent for. This year his con-
tract is to come every week; and he
has come every week, and so far as |

The HOld War HOrse.r

COLUMBIA, S. c., February s.
Meeting Col. J. n. Lipscomb, the
Secretary of State and the "old war
horse" of the South Carolina De-
mocracy, u few days ago, your cor
respondent asked what he thought of
President Cleyeland's civil service
policy. He replied very emphati-
cally that it was utterly absurd to
think that Democratic Administra-
ton could be successfully conducted
if all of the departments were filed
with Republican subordinates, who
were always ready to betray the par
ty at any time. Besides, when the
people elected Democrats to Office,
he thought they expected a change in
the officials, from the highest to the
lowest, and they had right to ex-
pect it. He believed that the Re-
publlcans should go and the Demo
Gratis take possession Of the Gov
ernment. Col. Butler. State Com,
missioner of Agriculture, endorsed
these sentiments. He said civil ser.
vice sounded very pretty as senti-
ment, but he did not think it practi.
cable to follow it out without injury
to any party that undertook to prac'
tice it.
These gentlemen, who represent
the bone and sinew Of the Demo
cratic party in South Carolina may
be said 10 express the views Of q
great majority Of the Democratic
voters in this State.-Cor. Augustu

At the meeting Of the State Grange
in Charleston last week. committee
was appointed whose duty it is to
watch the Legislature while in session,
and work against the passage Of laws
;nimical to the agricultural interests
Of the State. Now we suppose there
is nothing wrong in all this. but it
seems to US that the influence Of the
farmers would be far more potent at
the ballot box, in the primaries than
it would be in the Legislative lobby
at Columbia. The better plan is to
send men to Columbia who DO not
need watching.-Wutchmnn g. S0ntt-
Ton. Feb. 9N.
We don't agree with our cotempo-
rary. The farmers should send their
best business men to Columbia dur
ing the sessions Of the Legislature
to assist their Representatives in
passing such measures as to them
may seem best to protect their inter
ests. The lawyers, doctors, rail
roads, colleges, merchants and canal
have their friends on hand at every
session, and there is greater reason
why the farmers should be there.
There is no danger of them becom-
ing professional lobbyists.-ED. II.

Who Does II ?

Mr.. B. r. Tillman, Of Edgefeld,
has written q series Of letters to the
News and Courier that have elected
much attention all over the State.
Whatever good Mr.. Tillman may hope
to accomplish will be lost if he lets
his zeal run ahead Of his Judgment.
He represents that there are people
who look down upon what he calls
the ':despised and oppressed class
called farmers" Who are those who
are foolish enough to hold any such
view Of the farmers Of this country?
They must oe sadly lacking in ordi-
nary sense, and ignorant Of the con-
ditions Of life in this country if they
entertain any such opinion. 1t can
not be the merchants, for the farmers
are their customers. I Cannot be the
lawyers. for the farmers are their
clients. It cannot be tie doctors, the
farmers are their patients. Nor the
artisans and iaborcr5 who iiud in
them their principal employers. And
it is not the farmers themselves. Mr..
Tillman is mistaken in thinking that
they are ''oppressed' or "despised."
We know whereof we speak, when
we say that O"y farmers here are not
men tc put up with oppression" from
anybody, And he who sought to treat
them with contempt would speedily be
sent to the right about" They are
the majority Of fourpopulation. They
and their work are the basis Of the
prosperity ofour country. They are in
telligent, industrious thrifty and indie
pendent; possessed of the knowledge
and the nerve to protect and defend
themselves from any assaults upon
their rights. 1t is an insult to them
to cal them "oppresscd and despis-
ed" We venture TO say that there is
as much brains and intelligence
among the farmers Of this county as
in any other branch Of labor. They
are progressive men. keeping pace
with the march Of the age, eSd;ng,
improving and ? og,cssing. They
are educating their children. and law
inc broad the foundation of tEeir own
and the country'S prosperity. We
know that they have here, as class,
and We believe everywhere else in the
State. the respect and confidence Of
everybody. They have power and
influence, and know how to use them.
as that man will find out who seeks
to "oppress" them.
We don't like all this arraying of
one class against another. We are
all bound up together in every rela-
ton of life. No one class or set of
men can impose on another. We are
all, Of whatever profession or ayoca,
ton, component parts Of q homoge-
neous people, and each part is essen
tial to the welfare Of the whole.
We think NJ. Tillman has departed
from the task Of reformation he as
sumed. when he writes such stuff as
we have commented upon.--1Jje-

Why Are They "Scattered?"

Under the heading Of scattered"
the New Orleans Picayune bewails
the emigration from the South Of so
many Of its ablest and best young
men who seek in other sections en-
ployment, which it is difficult to find
in their old homes. Rightly the Pic
ayune looks upon this loss as very
serious one to the South, and one
greatly to be deplored. The Manu-
facturers' Record has repeatedly
called attention to it and urged that
strenuous efforts should be made to
encourage the widest possible devel-
opmcnt Of Southern industrial inter-
ests that broader field of employ
ment might thus be opened to the
young men Of the South. The Plea
yune says:
eve feel scnsibly the loss of these
energetic men, and cannot help think-
ing that if the South would take to
the sea as the carriers Of commerce
that no men would bear aloft her flag
with more courage or conduct; that
if our land abounded with mills and
furnaces, no men could direct such
operations with more success, and
that if all these industries were prop
erly developed these men would re-
main at home to renew the South, in
stead of being scattered abroad in
the service Of others to increase
power and prosperity that has been
in great part subtracted from our
own. We wonder at the emigration
of the Irish from land they love so
well. We do rot observe the emf
grafton from the South. The cause
is tbe s.lme. The want Of apt and
adequate employment for the people
This Southern migration must be-
come factor in t,e equilibrium of
tbe sections, and our statesmen
should look to, and, if possible, ar
rest it,
Unfortunately too many Southern
Congressman, and too many South,
EN- papers, and among them stands
the Picayune, are doing ali in -their
power 10 make the emigration of
young men from the South a neces.
sttv. 1t is only by the development
Of the manufacturing and mining in
tercsts, and thus the Improvement Of
every industry in the South, that
profitable employment for the rising
generation can be created in the
South; and yet, Notwithstanding this
fact, fact Of tremendous impor-
tance to the future welfare CT the
South, Southern Congressman are
vigorously fighting against the indus
trial interests Of the South. With
few exceptions, they are arrayed
against a protective tariff, without
which the continued development Of
the South's vast resources and the
building up of manufactures is i'm
possible. How long will the South
cling to the traditions of the past
and ignore the changed condition of
affairs, which makes protection of far
greater Importance to that section
than TO New England ?-Manutactu.
