AUSTIN will vote on Monday upon that
water-works sewer proposition and the
questions involved are agtating the
property owners no little. There Is no
question about the necessity and econ
omy OF proper water supply and sewer
age. The only question is of rushing
blindly into expenditures that have not
been carefully estimated and their wis

Thc Internal Revenue System.

The internal revenue system will

Of the live issues in the campaign.
The real question, and the one upon
which the party went to the country,
was the question OF incidental pro-
lection to American labor and
American industries. The party put
itself in unmistakable terms on the
side Of protecting our labor and it
was victorious. This policy, 0!

1883, but the question as to what

great extent. Tae Democratic party
cannot afford to retracc its steps on
this question and reverse the policy
OF the party as it has been maintained
since its organization. Antagonisn

system is ten times more odious and
objectionable now than it was when

Can Married Woman Mortgage Her
Land.

In these troublous and uncertain
financial times, half the real estate
in South Carolina has been settled
ny men on their wives. Everybody
knows that. These wives own the
land; and if the husbands want to
borrow money on it, the wives must
sign the mortgage. And now the
wives, here and there, are beginning
to refuse to pay the money so Dor.
rowed, and proceeding to take their
cases into court. A case of this sort
has been decided in the circuit court
in Abbeville-how lately we do not
exactly know-by Judge Hudson,
against the plaintiff, that is the wife.
In this. case the Sheppard Brothers
are the attorneys for the defendant,
that Is, the man who loaned the wo.
man money on her land. The wife
has appealed to the Supreme Court;
and on Monday morning last, Gov.
John G. Sheppard left our town for
Columbia, to argue the matter, some
time this week, before the said Court
Ihls Is Casa test case as it will
De-ot the EXTREMIST Importance in
South Carolina; and Gov. Shcp.
pards argument, we know, will be n
powerful one. The watching for the
Supreme Courts decision will be in.
terestlng, exciting; and the decision
itself will be vastly momentous.
The Chronicle is not generally
against the woman, but in this mat
ter 1t Is. We do not suppose one
woman in ten would take advantage
OF such a decision in her favor. But
still, human nature is very weak;
and the law had better set us on the
safe side. Should the Supreme
Court decide that married woman
cannot mortgage her land, then not
only will many men, but perhaps
several banks also, soon topple to
the ground in South Carolina Etlqc.

"Why Not Close Up tho RanI1s?"

In pursuing the conservative course
he did when he entered upon his of.
fee, President Cleveland acted wise
ly. lie could not with safety have
done otherwise. The first thing the
new Democratic party had to face
was popular distrust. For years the
people had been told that change Of
administration meant danger. For
years they had been told that Demo-
cratic administration would unsettle
business, create panics, and bring
the country into disorder. A change
of political parties, it was constantly
said, until the country half believed
it, would be followed by radical
changes Of government policy, dan
gerous, experiments, and general
upheavel that would work disaster to
business interests. The feelings Of
distrust thus created, without reason,
perhaps, but still natural, kepv the
Democratic party out Of power for
years. When, finally, Democratic
administration was installed it had
to face this doubt and distrust. This
was the first problem that confronted
the Democratic administration 1t
had to convince the people that their
fears were groundless, that the change
brought with it no peril to business,
no violent upheavals, no rash expert.
ments, but that with the Government
in Democratic hands all public inter.
ests were safe and all private inter-
ests we'll defended. 1t was for this
reason, we think, that the Adminis-
tration proceeded with such great and
cOmmendable caution. Its conserv-
atism was the prudence and safety of
the party. In pursuing such pol
icy the Administration did thc best
for the country and did the best for
the party, even if it did seem Il hard
ship 70 Democrats that the offices
were denied them; even though it
risked, rs it had TO risk, incurring
the enmity of its own partisaus.
Grover Cleveland, in the course he
took, laid the firm foundation Of Dem.
ocratic ascendcncy on the rock Of
public confidence, and SO did we'll.
But has not the time now come wien
the President should give to the
party which elected him and to which
lie must look for support: that tn.t
recognition that will remove all fcui.
ings of dissatisfaction that may ex-
ist? There is now no feeling of dis.
trust in the public mind as TO tie ca
pacity Of the Democratic party to Iii.
rect the affairs Of Government. There
is DO longer any fear that change Of
political control means ruin aud dis
aster to business. The country is
prosperous, doubt has disappeared,
distrust has given place to the most
perfect confidence. Why, then,
should there be any hesitancy in re-
moving the remaining Republican
office holders? Why should they be
allowed to remain? Why not uring
the Democratic party solidly and
harmoniously to the support Of the
Administration by showing that
President Cleveland trusts it even
as the country trusts it? Why not
close up the ranks now 80 as to he
ready for 1888? TO keep Republi.
cans in Office now can do no good and
may do harm. The time has come
when they should go.-Cterclond

Of the country persons habitually con
gregate on the sidewalk in front of
drug stores, hotels and saloons, putting
pedestrians to inconvenience, interrupt
ing public travel, almost preventing
ladies from passing-that this occurs

perse such gatherings. The landlord
as well as the private individual has
this right to stop the obstruction OF the

if landlord or any other person who
comes to this court for license does
not exercise this right his neglect will
operate against his application. He
asks a special privilege; he must not

in his power to hinder, to interfere

sit is in some of the published re-
marks of this Court that if keepers of
saloons and hotels allow persons to
assemble about their buildings at i'm
proper times and especially on Sunday
we would consider the fact as prima
facie evidence of violation of some
provision of the liquor laws; and we
say now, that if the holder of license
does not prevent such assemblages be-
fore his place of business, that fact
may rise up in Judgment against him
when he applies for renewal of his
privileges.

Persian Customs.


The seat of honor was given to me,
the bride sitting on my right, her elder
aunt cher uncle had two wivcs) on my
left. Persians think a great deal of
appearance and outward show, and all
the ladies were decked in their gaud
lest attire, and were blooming in all
the fictitious glories of painted woman
hood. Fair hair and eyes are not ad-
mired by them, but fair skin and
florid complexion are greatly sought
after, and call forth the tribute of gen
eral admiration. Even when nature
has distributed her gifts with no mig
gard hand they will furbish up the
complexion with quantities of rouge
and powder until they look like full
blown roses. Many an old woman of
hideous forbidding aspect, whose ap-
pearance would be invaluable in melo-
drama, is made up into the bad semb-
lance OF a young woman the burrows
Time with his ruthless fingers has
traced are filled in with powder, not
artistically faced as the European belle
many of whose charms might not
bear close overhauling-often sets off
her loveliuess with artful!y-arranged
aids to beauty, but laid on in thick lay
ers. Although the bride was very
young, having at the most seen sixteen
summers, rouge, alas, was no stranger
even to her pretty face! Her hair,
which was jet black and very long,
was plated into a number Of tiny tails,
the ends of which peeped forth from
under the chagat of folded wkite linen
she wore on her head. Nothing can
exceed the ugliness or unbecomingness
of this head gear ; it is merely a square
piece of muslin or cotton folded corner
wise. and tightly fastened with a pin
or tiny brooch under the chin, with
two ends hanging down the back, aud
the remaining two falling over the
breast. Over this again is worn the
house veil which envelopes the whole
figure it is large square or rounded
piece of muslin or patterned chintz
and is not fastened on but simply kept
in its place by the arms. Her volumi-
nous skirt was of white and pink
striped satin, hand omely trimmed
with gold lace, and reached only half
way to the knee the legs We're bare.
Often as many as twenty yards of
silk or satin are employed for these
skirts, which are gathered into band
at the waist, and are worn over four
or fine petticoats very much stitfened.
The more skirt stands out the more
fashionable it is The bodice is loose
sort of jacket of silk or velvet, trim
med with gold lace, the sleeves are
long and terminate in a pointed cuff
that turns back, reaching nearly to the
elbow. This is worn over calico or
linen shirt. Although all dresses agree
in their leading features, and the fash
ions never change in the East as they
do in the west, yet they differ to a
great extent in detail, and afford a
scope for the peculiar taste or fancy of
the wearer, The contrast between in
door dress and walking attire is very
striking.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Ducks usually bring higher price
in market than hens,
Do not let foul weeds 90 TO seed
either in fields or roadsides.
A week of exposure to the hot sun
will injure the horse rake, mower and
reaper more than a whole seasons use.
Throw little straw under the toma-
to vines, TO keep the fruit clean and
ground moist, making much finer fruit
and continuing it longer.
If you wish the pigs to grow, feed
them all the grass they can eat. Don't
turn them loose in the clover field, but
cut the grass and throw it over the pen
to them.
Be sure that the ground floor in the
poultry house is enough higher than
the surrounding ground to keep it per-
fectly dry. Damp floors are very pro-
ductive of disease.
In buying pigs for breeding stock the
best is the cheapest, though it costs a
niue more money. lhe reason why
breeders justify themselves in saving
runts, is because some men are thought,
less enough to buy them at a low
price.
All small apples and others defective
in form or damaged by worms have
their best market on the farm as food
for animals. If packed with sound
fruit, even in small proportion, they
reduce the price of all often to the
point of loss.
Bees do not work as well in a hive
exposed to the sun. In midday, when
very hot, all work on the inside, such
as comb-building and storing honey
has to be suspended. Sometimes
combs melt down, and the brood die,
in the heat of the sun.
