Some People Will Believe This
litlQnIu Constellation.

Zadkiel, the famous London astroio-
ger, has consulted the stars in order
to forecast the events of the present
year.
1t is discomforting to learn that 1855
will be distinguished for wars and pes
thence, strikes and riots, general high
temperature and abundant crops.
For the United States, Zadkiel pre-
diets a grave scandal concerninga cab
met or high government official who
may have to suffer imprisonment. We
are to have a high rate Of mortality
from lung and kidney diseases, and a
great prevalence Of fraud, robbery and
crimes Of violence. There will be
earthquakes in the south of Europe,
and political trouble in England,
France and Sweden. The Emperor OF
Germany will hardly survive the first
quarter Of the year.
So much for Zadkiel's leading pre-
dictions. They will not disturb the
minds of enlightened people, but it
should be remembered that astrology
is one of the oldest of the sciences, ifit
may be ranked under that head, and
it has 50 many believers at the present
day that many astrologers in this coun-
try,and all over the world, are kept
busy, and they find their calling very
profitable.
Superstition will doubtless lingel
with US to the end, and through all
the ages to come there will be Zad'
kiels and Wigginses ready to startle
mankind with their guess-work. I'm
der the circumstances the London
prophet has let US off easily. If moth
ing worse than his predictions turn up
we shall manage to worry along
through the year.

Unconstitutional.

CHICAGO, January 3.-Sevrral mouths
ago d certain doctor came to Chicago
and commenced the practice OF medl-
cine. He advertised extensively the
cure of u special class Of diseases, when
the state board OF health imterfered and
revoked the doctors certificate. He then
commeured an action against the state
board in the Circuit court. To-day Judge
Watrrmann decided The case, and de-
clared the act OF the state board uncon-
Stitutional. He says: The rights OF g
party charged with Il punishable offence
to notice OF Il hearing is elementary
and one of the first rules necessary
to the administration Of justice. The
defendant had perfectly constitutional
right to advertise in the newspapers: and
he cannot be deprived Of it by any rule
or regulation Of the state board Of health.
This association, if its action was to be
held legal in this case. could sumlnarily
try and punish for al alleged Otfcnse a
brother practitioner without any notice
whatever Such a proceeding partakes
Of the nature of the star chamber, whose
DEGREES led TO revolution and the death
of king OF England on the scatiold.
The state board Of health must not be
tolerated to exercise such power in a
free country, and its acts must. in this
CAS-" be declared unconstitutional.

One thousand Men Join the Strikers.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3l.-Nearly one
thousand men employed in and around
the extensive freight depot Of the Read
ing Railroad Company at Willow street
wharf went out on d strike this morning
and the work OF handling freight there
is consequently badly crippled. This
action OF the men was in pursuance OF
the decisions of the various local assem-
blies OF the Knights Of Labor last even-
ing to support the order OF the READING
Convention. The men who went out
were employed as conductors and in
handling freight and in other capacities
at the depot. AT the general office OF
the company on 4th street no informa-
ton regarding the situation could be OBJ
tanned this morning, the officials stating
thrt they had nothing for publication.
Everything WAS reported working
smoothly at the depots ut 9th and Green
streets and at 18th street and PennSyi-
vania avenue. At Port Richmond the
non-union men. who took the places OF
the strikers several days ago were at
work. but its force is comparatively
small one and nothing like the usual
amount of coal is being handled there by
the company. About $40 coal handlers
were formerly employed at the Port
Richmond wharverS, while it is eStimat-
ed that not over 40 are employed at
present.

LYNCH LAW REVERSED.
A White Man in Pickens County
Hanged by Negroes.
,SDeciul 10 the Ne1cs and Courier.

GREENyILLE, January 2.-Facts have
lust reached this city Of a sensational
affair at Central, PickenS County,w;.ich
furnishes, perhaps, the first instance in
this section OF the hanging OF white
man bv negroes. Last Friday an inquest
was held by Trial Justice P. D. Garvin
over the BODY of negro girl about l3
wears old. who died under circumstances
that gave rise to suspicion Of criminal
assault. Investigation confirmed the
SUSPICION, and the physician who made
the examination reported that the girl
had died from the effects Of a criminal
assault.
The evidence implicated a white man
named Waldrop, Il laborer on Mr. F. J.
Pelgea's farm, in Anderson County.
Waldrop. who was half-witted Young
fellow aud unmarried, protested his in
nocence, and he was arrested and or
dered to be taken to Pickens and COM
mitted to Jail. That night two consta-
bles. D. E. Garvin and Il companion,
started to Pickens with the prisoner.
They were driving mule to j single
buggy and had the prisoner between
them. Ata point on the road, about
three-ouarters of mile from Central, the
party was halted BY crowd OF negroes,
who demanded the prisoner. The con-
stables attempted to drive Oh but the
negroes in the crowd held the mule and
would not allow them TO move forward.
One of the constables jumped cut Of the
back of the buggy and ran.
The negroes then took Waldrop from
the buggy and carried him of into the
woods. The other constable drove furi-
ousiy back TO Central in the buggy, be-
ing unable to do anything to protect his
prisoner. Carrying Waldrop off, the
negroes shot him humber OF times, hut
did not succeed in wounding him fatally
| Attracted by the noise Of the shooting,
il party of citizens living in the neigh
borhood hastened to the scene. DR..
Folger, Dr.. Clayton and Mcssrs Payne
and Werner were in the party. On
their arrival the negroes all fled bit one.
They returned in q short while, howev-
er, and ordered the whites who had
come up to clear away as they were 60
ing 70 fire again. The white men re'
tired, being unarmed and without any
means of defending themselves or the
prisoner, who was, at most, only slight
ly wounded.
The gang of negroes then returned,
took Waldrop and hanged him to ii tree
in the woods. When the body was
found next morning it was Seen that the
shots that had been fired would moi
have produced death.
The affair has aroused the whole com
mnnity around Central to a white hea!
of excitement. A col oner's inquest over
the body of Waldrop was empanclled on
Saturday, but was adjourned over tc
Tuesday to allow Solicitor Orr's pres
ence. Solicitor Orr will go to Contra! in
the morning. TO the Neaos and Courier
correspondent this afternoon he said he
proposed to push this case and 10 USE
every resource to punish the guilty par
ties. 1t is thought that some white mer
are implicated in the lynching, and If II
is found so they will be brought to strict
account.

for gentleman to be weighing HIM
self down with.
The law against carrying pistols
must be backed up by healthy pub

Haynsworth, shot down by the law

County, denounce the practice Of car

open.
3. That we demand Of the public
officers of the State, county and city
of Sumter to enforce the law against
carrying concealed weapons.
/. That we, as citizens of Sumter
County, confidently expect from the
Jury Of inquest that they will, in this
grave emergency, perform their whole
duty fairly and fearlessly.
5. That these resolutions be pub
lished by the press of Sumter, Charles

BAD thing to repeal the law on duel

these men who had a personal mat

among themselves, without endareer-
ing the lives of others, and, in this
case, killing an innocent man. These

These differences they will have As
long as they remain human and in

so long as the men who are leaders in
politics and thought, continue to carry

we publish in this issue an editorial
from the Neacs and Courier of Tues
gay, giving some facts in cotton grow
ing, taken from the experiments of
farmers in various counties in the
State. From the annual review made
up by the Neeus and Courier it is esti-
mated that the average yield of cotton
IN the State is one bale to three acres.
From experiments made in this coun-
ty there is no reason why the average
throughout the State should not be
much larger than that. If there were
less cotton grown on the credit system,
and our farmers made their provisions
at nome, there would be larger Weld
per acre. Most farmers plant too large
an acreage and do not cultivate it pro-
perly. The experiments published by
US last week, of those farmers in No. &
township, shows what can be done
with very little expense and trouble
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Werts, who lives near
Saluda, in this County, told US some
time in November that he had at that
time ginned and sold twenty-four bales
gathered from thirty acres, and he
was sure of six more, making an aver
age OF one bale to the acre. His land
when he went on it two or three years
ago, was an old field and considered
poor What he has done on this land
can be done by nine-tenths of our far
mers with proper cultivation and
management. There is little doubt
that cotton raising can be made profit
able in this country. We need fewer
farms worked on the credit system.
When this is accomplished we will
have better farming and, consequently,
better crops.
