Fair View Pottery-Walhalla's Latest
Enterprise.

Our reporter paid visit to the Fair
View Pottery, which is the name of our
new enterprise, and was received with
marked courtsey by the members of the
firm who showed him the plans and con.
struction of the mandatory. Mr.. J. 7.
Wilson, the President, is q thorough
business man and was formerly mer-
chant of Charleston, S. O. Mr.. W. E. Riv.
ers, the Manager, came from the Stafford
shire potteries in England, some ten years
ago, where he first acquired his knowl-
edge of the art of potting. The building
fronting the street comprises the office,
ware room and a large room for the pur-
pose of making Tor what is technically
known as pressing) the various vessels
from the prepared clay. This room has
capacity for nine hands. The machinery
for making milk bowls, pitchers, flower
pots, &C., to be erected in this room, will
be of the newest and best make and will
greatly facilitate the manufacture of
these different articles. The mode Of
preparing the clay in the slip house is
simple but very ef1cacious. A number
of tanks are used in which the clay is
agitated by means of plunger and incor'
porated with water until it is reduced to
the same consistency ofcream. 1t is then
passed through fine selves and poured on
he slip or drying'kilu where the water is
evaporated by heat until the proper state
for use. This drying kiln is long and
narrow, built of brick and covered with
fire clay tiles, the fues running from end
to end conducting the heat. The kiln for
burning the ware is being built from
plans of the most improved method as
used by the best English and American
potters. The material for building this
kiln has been manufactured by the Tren-
ton Terra Gotta Co., of Trenton, N. j.,
and it is calculated to burn more evenly
and with less fuel than any other class of
kiln. The capacity will be about one
hundred dozen pieces at each burning.
The appearance of this is of q large oven
filled With shelves on which the ware is
placed. Little triangular pieces of clay
are used to prevent the vessels sticking to
the shelves during the burning process.
The glazing and coloring rooms are
replete with racks, pans, spiders, &C.
The factory is in every way convenient
and we'll constructed one. The entire Ca
pacity will be thirty hands. Messrs'
Wilson & Co. will manufacture full line
of maiolica, rockingham and yellow ware
and expect with their facilities to be able
to compete favorably with the large pot
teries of the North. We welcome with
pleasure this new enterprise which bids
fair to be the most valuable in our town
Fair View Pottery is located just at the
head of South Broad Street and adjoin'
the beautiful Fair View vineyard from
which it took its name.-Walhallo Cou

Elections for Senator's.

WASHINGTON, March, l7.-Congress.
man Oates, of Alabama, has written the
report in favor of the joint resolution for
a constitutional amendment providing for
the election of Senators by the people,
which he made to-day, but most Of his
points were furnished him by Congress-
man Townshend, of Illinois, Mr.. Town;
shend has made study of the subject for
severa! years, and first introduced q
proposition of the kind into the House s
six years ago.
He is of the opinion that the election Of 2
Senators by the people would prevent the
intriguing which now takes place, would
make corporation and money less potent,
and would take power away from the
politicians who make up the majority Of
the State Legislature and give it to the;
intelligent masses of the people. The
politicians and the bosses, he says, now
control in some States the election Of
Senators, and the thinking business men
have no voice.
TIE selection of Senators by the popu-s
lar vote would, he believes, raise the
standard and result in better selections.
Itwould certainly bring the Senate closer
to the people and make it more nearly 81
representative body than it is now. Mr..
Townshend says that the House commit
tee on the revision of the laws agreed
without dissent to report the resolution,
and he believes the House will assign
day for consideration and pass it.
The Senate may a little 10th to con.
cur, but public sentiment, he thinks, will
eventually bring them to it. The feeling
throughout the Northwest, as manifested
in the press and by farmers societies, Isl q
strongly in favor of such a change in the
Constitution. The senate will continue
to be- conservative body from the long
tenure of the members and the fact that g
only third of them are chosen at a time.
b Notwithstanding Mr.. Townshend's ar.
gument the scheme is not likely to. find {:
much favor in the Senate at present.
Indeed, some of the Senators regard itas
an afffont that proposition TO- change
the manner of their own election should
come from the House. They donot deny
that the House has the constitutional
power to initiate the legislation, but they
consider it rather in the nature Of s
breach of etiquette for it to use the pow

Gotten Planting.

This is work that many farmers think
should be done sin hurry" and with
the smallest expenditure Of labor. 1t is
all very well to perform given job in
good style with the least labor, but it is
we'll to consider that by taking little
more time and expending little more
labor and care at planting, much future
work may be saved. The first requisite to
securing good stand and subsequent
good yield is good, sound, carefully select
ed planting seed of an improved kind of
cotton. There is no great difference in
the productiveness of the different vari.
eties offered for sale. Their chiefgeneral
merit consists in and depends upon the
fact that the seed have been selected with
more or less care for number of years.
Farmers often plant seed that appear
to be sound and "all right" but on
account of imperfect development or
partial heating it is found that the vital.
ity of many of the germs is either origi-
nally defective or it has been impaired.
The result is poor stand of feeble dying
plants. Secure seed of good selection,
even if no more than enough to plant q
small field from which to save seed next
fall, and test the vitality of any that may
be doubtful by planting early 8 few
handsful in warm, sunny exposure in
the garden or in hot bed. If sound
and good 90 per cent. of them should
make vigorous, healthy plants.
The expediency Of planting in hills or
checks depends on the quality of the
seed, the fixed and uniform productive
ness CT the individual plants, and the
natural or added fertility of the SOIL
The very largest yields on small areas
have generally been from planting and
cultivating in hills from seed that were
carefully selected with reference to sym.
metrical development and productive.
ness. By this careful selection the plants
have become individualized, so that the
single stalk that may be left in q hill
may be counted on to make large yield
the maximum that may be reasonably
expected from the area appropriated tc
its use. The hill system requires MOI
more than one-fourth as many seed
which, therefore, may be the more select
and costly; it requires moro labor in the
planting, but less in the subsequent
culture.
It is admitted that greater care in the
planting and early cultivation will bs
necessary in order to secure and maintain
a perfect stand, but it is very probable
that such increased care will be more
than repaid by the ease of subsequen
cultivation and the improved quality ant
quantity of the product.-Southern Cul

popularity or theological classification
The Heavenly Father regards and deals
with His moral creatures not as Egyp'
tians, Jews, Christians, Mahomedans,
but as souls. So still further eliminate
the term "Heathen," and the question
becomes a universal one as to the fate or
condition of souls after death, and gets q
universal answer, which persons may
apply to sections as they please.
My idea of death is simply of the
falling off or ceac.ng Of the material
portion of our human nature, the imma-
terial portion continuing thenceforth in
dependently of it. After death, there
fore, the soul is precisely as before, with
this single exception of its covering,
without change of place, without change
of quality. If this be so, the fate or con-
dition of souls after death is as varied as
their characters, and depends on the
affections they have cherished and the
aptitudes they have cultivated. Charac-
ter is fate. "The mind is its own place"
Fate OF destiny is not an arbitrary assign
ment, but an orderly ful6lment of the
inner love. He'll is the ideal culmina-
ton of the :hellish affection and life, and
Heaven is the ideal elimination of the
heavenly affection and life. Neither is
arbitrary or an appointment, but natural
and a resultant. Therefore between these
two ideal extremes must exist all grada.
tions of moral being, and in this inter.
mediate condition most souls will find
themselves entering the new school on
the plane Of their preparation and thence
still pursuing their choice.
In matter like this, in which the
mind reaches forward, reasoning from
what it knows" We need to rise above
national boundaries and theological
differences and consider all souls in the
keeping of a Great Good Soul that has
made them all, and leads and cares for
all. I feel, and I think the inquiring
correspondent must fe. that for one to
imagine God will arbitrarily condemn
any soul to q fate his character has not
merited, just because he differs from me
in his intellectual. theories, or has not
had just my religious experience, is
simply monstrous and cruel.
The idea that God will destroy, or,
worse still, consign to torment soul for
not cenfessing Teacher whom he never
heard, is az idea so internal that I thank
God have no room or affinity for it in
my being. Such notion, it seems to
me, can be entertained only by one who
is accustomed to make himselfa standard
for the universe. I had far rather die a
good Heather than Christian with such.
athought in my heart.
eff ye were blind, ye had no sin; but
now ye say we see, therefore your sin
remaineth." They that live without our
law are judged without regard to our
law. That compound of thought, love,
desire and life, which is best described as
character, decides our spiritual place now
and must always. "Let no man deceive
you. He that doeth righteousness is
righteous, even as He is righteous."
And "the souls of the righteous are in
the hands of God-there shall no tor.
ment touch them."
The words of thy servant are ended.

pondent.
Where Holy Scripture is so absolutely
silent it should be warning enough to US
not to be wise above what is written.
Our concern is with the heathen in this
life; to avoid their sins and follies and
to teach them as far as We may the
knowledge of God. All beyond this is
Gods concern, not ours, and we n.ay rest
assured that He who willeth not that
any should perish, but that a. 'ould

into the world to die that sinful man
might be saved-will deal justly and

ordering of His Providence have been
shut out from the knowledge of His truth.
st. Paul distinctly and positively asserts
(Rom ii: IA, 15) that the Heathen who
have not Gods law are Judged by the
law of conscience and the elementary
principles of right and wrong.
As to a0h ere such people 60 when they
die we should need a new revelation to
determine, seeing that Holy Scripture
gives us no hint as to where or what
either Heaven or He'll may be beyond
the assurance that the former involves
an eternity of happiness with God, and
the latter an eternity of sorrow and evil
in separation from Him. Doubtless in
that unknown country beyond the grave,
which the Hebrews knew as Sheol, the
Greeks as Hades, and the modern Chris
tian as the intermediate State, there is
ample provision for all waiting souls, the
"prisoners of hope," as we'll as those Of
despair. Jew or Gentle, Christian or
Heather, their Judge and Father keeps
them under His own just and merciful
oversight until the Great Assize, before
which none may enter condition which
shall be final.

God Can Save.

Inc lOllOWlDG extIactS lrou seIuon
delivered at the Pro Cathedral by Bishop
Northrop during the past week bear upon
the subject:
GAS to infdels, their salvation is more
difficult, but it is not impossible. For it
is not matter of mere belief, but with
Roman Catholics is an article of faith,
that by the natural light of reason a man
may come to the knowledge of God.
Solomon, in the Book of Wisdom, has
upheld this truth, and St. Paul also says
that we may arrive at knowledge of the
Creator from the things that are, that is,
from creation, from the Lords works.
Man may recognize God as his Creator
ana Lord and Ruler of Heaven and earth.
This has been defined by the Council of
the Vatican. From this knowledge of
God necessarily flows what may be called
the natural religion, that is to say, a be.
lief in future life, the providence of
God, alteration, worship. Man recog-
nizes God as his Creator, who loves and
will preserve His works, and will render
to every one according TO his works, who
is to be worshipped in spirit and in truth.
Socrates was very near revelation, which
is the commencement of Christianity.
The great st. Thomas, "the angel of the
schools" and one of the greatest theolo-
gians of the Catholic Church, speaking
of the question with regard to those who
lived before the coming of Christ, and
outside of the knowledge of the truth as
held by the chosen people, says that
''they who we're not saved by implicit
faith in the Redeemer to come might be
saved by an explicit belief in God and
His providence" He would save them
in ways pleasing to himself.
The state of the infidel now is similar,
or in no respect different, to the state of
the Gentiles before the coming of Christ,
and they have no other religious duties
to perform than the Gentiles.
Plus TX, the light of the Church and
man by no means partial in such mat.
ters, says that we know those who are
invincibly ignorant Of the truths revealed
by Christ or of the teaching of the true
Church, and who faithfully observe the
Divine natural law, aided by the light of
reason and the grace of God, may be
saved, for God is good and just and will
not condemn man to eternal torments
for sins not consciously committed" At
The tribunal of God, on the day of judg.
ment, the infdel will certainly not be
Judged according to the Christian law,
but by the law of his own conscience, OF
which St. Paul says, "It is written by
the finger of God in the feshy tablets Of
our hearts,"
Certainly the judgment of the infdel
will not be as rigorous or as far-reaching
as that of the Christian, who knows
much more and has received so many
graces. "For him to whom much has
been given, from him much will be de-
manded."
As to children born in heresy or schisn
and who are properly baptized, but wht
die before coming to the use of reason
they certainly are saved. As TO children
who, unfortunately, are not baptized the!
certaioly do not enter Heaven. 1t is no

concerning "The state of the Heather

Continuing, he says:
F ssI expressed the opinion that there

or He'll, into which they are received
either for preparation for Heaven or as
permanent place Of abode. If they

ally accepted theory as to their final
destiny?"
We would if We could, but the fate of
the heathen after death is sealed book.
There is no generally accepted theory
upon the subject. The most eminent
theologians have striYen for centuries to
throw light upon the matter, but it is still
as mysterious and dark as ever. Their
fate can be safely left in the keeping of
the Eternal, by whom heathen and Chris
tian alike live, move and have their
being, and without whose notice not q
sparrow falleth. twill be interesting,
however, to know what are the views of
some of the clergymen of different reli-
5gious denominations. Although their
opinions are Of a somewhat speculative
nature, they are expressed with sufficient
clearness to attract attention to subject
which cannot be, in the nature of Gods
providence, solved until the final judg-
ment, when the graves shall give up
their dead and every man shall bejudged
according to The deeds done in the body,
whether they be good or whether they be
evil.

would give their views upon the question
of the state of the Heathen after death,
