Brethren. Pass Him Around.

About a year ago Dan Rutherford,
representing the Columbus (Ohio) Buggy
Company, visited Marion, and at one OF
the hotels, without provocation, opened
a bitter denunciation of the South, the
Confederacy and our leading men, say
ing that we "were all id rebels, and
ought to be hung" His abuse of JEFF
Davis was bitter in the extreme. He
was spared thrashing by the proprie-
tor, who had been Confederate soldier,
because he was a guest under his roof.
But last Friday he was here again, and
while waiting at the depot for the train,
began, Just as the proprietor came up,
to boast of last years performance.
Rutherford covered at the command to
stop and without resentment, even by
word, submitted to as strong 8 present.
ment of his character as words can con-
vey. In few moments he would have
been severely thrashed had not the cars
afforded timely retreat. These charac-
ters are seldom met now, and the few
that remain are the meanest and the
lowest of the low. The company has
missed one sale of which we know be-
cause of this man, and there may be
many more. Such representative as
this will injure any firm. Brethren OF
the press, please pass him around and
let tie people know who it Is with whom
they deal.-Marion Index.

The Virginia Canon.

The following is statement OF ques-
tons asked of the Southern (Vrglnla)
Churchman, with the answer OF the
editors of that paper:
Would you be kind enough to give me
privately or through your paper informa-
tion on these points, which may come
up in May in our South Carolina Con-
vention:
l. Is the Virginia Canon No. 13 "of
colored mission churches compro-
mise?
2. If white minister is in charge Of a
colored mission does he attend both the
Council and the convocation:
3. So also colored missionary, would
he attend both the. Diocesan Council and
this colored convocation?
4. Have you at present any organized
colored parishes with their lay delegates
in the Diocesan Council?
5. If not, when they are organized as
parishes, would their lay delegates with
draw from the convocation and attend
only the Diocesan Council?
6. Has the Canon No. Is any refer.
ence to colored rectors and lay delegates

Rattlesnake Bite Cured.

One morning last week, about $50
o'clock, Mr.. NJ. B. Smith, who works in
the Southern Express Office at Atlanta,
Ga., was bitten by rattlesnake that lay
concealed in crate of cabbages. The
cabbages were shipped from Jackson
vile, Fla, and Mr.. Smith was moving
them preparatory to their delivery to
commission merchant. AS he placed his
hand on the crate he felt singing SEN
sation in one of his fingers and saw that
a huge snake had fastened its fangs IN
his flesh. In q few seconds the hand
and arm began to swell, and Mr.. Smith
was driven hurrisdly to DR.. Gsston's
Office.
DR.. CASTOR cav the young man was in
danger of losing his life, and he gave
him hypodermie injection of pernsn-
ganate Of potash-a solution OF two
grains to 6rachm of water. This anti
dote to snake poison was first used by q
Brazilian physician, and its efficacy was
so great that the doctor was given
handsome reward by the government.
The treatment relieved Mr.. Smith inme-
diately and he was sent to his home.
From last accounts he was doing well.

Western Farm Mortgages.

The department. Of agriculture has in
stituted an investigation into the condi-
ton of Western farmers, and some start
ling facts have been elected. It had
been known before that Western farms
were heavily encountered, but the mag
nitude of the obligation resting upon
them had never been suspected. 1t ap-
pears, from the investigation, that the
mortgages on the farms of ten Western
States aggregated s., 422, 900, 900, Ohio
leading the list with an aggregate of
s7O1, 900, 900. In Michigan one half of
the farms are mortgaged, the aggregate
debt secured by mortgage being $780,
OO0,OO0 A striking fact of the situatioI
is that the annual net earnings on the
capital invested in farms in the United
States is but or per cent, while the
mortgages in question command from Z
to 8 per cent. The insurance companies
of Hartford, Conn.,, own $50, 5000 Of
Western farm mortgages, and the loan
companies of Boston hold them to the
amount of $76, 100000.

Our Public Schools.

A good deal of attention is being d-
rected to the subject of public education
in South Carolina, but there is not as
much interest taken in this important
matter as there should be. Our people
should give their children the opportu-
nifty of getting an education by estab-
ishing and maintaining good schools in
every part of the country. This they
could easily do for the present by supple
menting the regular two mill school tax
by small tuition fee, as is done in many
places, but the Legislature ought to do
something of a general character for the
Improvement of our public school sys-
tenn. In this enlightened day it is very
generally accepted that education is
necessary for the greatest enjoyment Of
life, and we are not going to write long
sermon on a text that has been worn out
by abler pens than ours, because We
think the people generally understand
the value of education, and consequently
q sermon on the matter is unnecessary,
but we want to say something about our
present system of public schools. It
Will be readily granted that there must
be a system Of public schools for the
education of the children, and it seems
to be the general opinion that the pres
ent system is not as efficient as it ought
to be. There ought to be longer terms
and better equipped school houses. How
to secure these is the question. Some
are very confident that the people viii
not bear a higher tax for education.
But We take it, as the world around be-
comes enlightened and progressive, so
our State viii not be content with what
has been done or what is doing, but Will
press towards the mark of higher achieve
ments and greater Things beyond. The
present tax is more than it was under
Radical rule, and with time it may be
increased. at present it may not be
iudicious to make the tax higher. But
it is possible to have large educational
fund. When the Legislature shall de-
wise better, a more certain, thorough
system of assessing property and compel
all men who vote to pay school tex,
there will be money enough. AS the
Wilmington Star says, itlooks ridiculous
for people to higgle over million dol
lars school tax when. they spend eight
or ten millions annually in voluntary
drinks.-Marion Star.

MIR. Cl.mson's Bequest.

The Laurensville Advertiser says Capt.
G. ". Shell, of Laurens, has received
the following:
DEAR SIR: Mr.. Clemson died last
night. His property, both real and per-
sonal, goes by will to the State for an
agricultural college. Besides special
bequests it is certain that $50, 900 will be
at our disposal for our college. If the
State does not accept then the 60 trus-
tees will carry out his wishes as well as
the means will allow. Col. r. E. Bowen,
Pickens; N. L. Donaldson, j. E. Brad
ley and J. E. Wannamaker, Orangeburg;
B. r. Tillman, r. ". Simpson and
myself are the trustees, If the State
accepts it will appoint six additional.
Our college is 8 certainty; our cause is
strengthened, and We will go into the
canvass with victory perched on our
banners. What arguments Will our op-
ponents meet US with, now the question
of expense is met? All honor to Mr..
Clemson.
An early day had better be named for
our meeting. In haste, sincerely yours,

from colored parish, or only refers to
mission stations and their missionaries
and laymen.
The plan proposed by our recent Epis-
copal Conference may be good, but it
ought rot to refer to the Virginia Canon
unless that is compromise.
We really want light and I hope you
will give some to US: xxx
Our correspondent will get answer to
all his above inquiries by our saying that
this canon is not of the nature of COM
promise; that colored ministers have a
seat and vote in our Convention; that
there are 10 colored parishes, but only
congregations organized under the canon
relating to mission churches; that such
congregations, whether white or colored,
are not entitled to lay representations;
that there has been no convocation or
ganized under Canon l3, and that the
practical questions which our CORE
spondent suggests have not arisen in
this diocese and are yet undetermined.
If this answer is not satisfactory, We will
try to be more explicit on any indicated
point.

& Deadly Disease.

There is new and dangerous form of
lung disease, common in spring, and
which seems to be swift and deadly IN
i.s course. Sudden changes in weather
and excessive moisture are apt to bring
it about. Croupous pneumonia attacked
and carried off Chief Justice Waite and
Governor Dorsheimer before many peo-
pie knew they were i'll. 1t is limited to
one lobe of the lung, and is said to be a
general disease with q special deposit
in the lung" It is an infectious malady.
The cold season, especially winter, is
supposed by many people, some OF them
in the medical profession, to be that IN
which croupous pneumonia IS most liable
to occur. But statistics teach that the
changeable weather of spring is particu-
larly liable to be accompanied by it, and
that the month of March is credited with
more cases of this kind of pneumonia
than any one of the others in the round
year. It seems that the degree of cold
to which an individual is exposed has
nothing whatever to do with contracting
an attack of pneumonia.
The cause OF crupous pneumonia,
frankly, is unknown. A well known au-
thority gives this pathological review OF
this new and deadly disease:
The sudden and enormous loss OF
strength which marks the condition OF
the sick man from the chill which ushers
in the disease shows that it is something
more than q mere Inflammation Of a
piece of lung tissue. The remark
able disparity between the number OF
the hearts pulsations and the acts OF
breathing per minute is another circum-
stance that marks croupous pneumonia
as disease differing in almost every
particular from all other infections in
which the lungs are involved. Colds,
coughs, and catsrrhs of the ordinary
kind show tendency to extend theil
duration without definite limit, while in
croupous pneumonia the duration of the
entire affection is seldom more than two
weeks. The points of difference between
this affection and all other diseases OF
the lungs are thus seen to be numerous
and striking. Another point-this afec,
ton seldom, if ever, is followed by the
deposit of tubercles (consumption). This
is in happy contrast with broncho-pneu.
monia, which is so often the first event
in history of consumption.-Augusta
Chronicle.

Our Election System.

Strange as it may appear, MIR. Lin
coin was elected President against ma
jority of 4, 1S5, ,658 votes that were not
cast for him but for Breckenridge, Doug
las and Bell. Breckenridge received more
votes than Lincoln who received 1885,
352, whilst Breckenridge received 2, ,220,-
920. The whole popular vote cast was
6,052, ,01l. The total electoral vote was
3l3 and Mr.. Lincoln received l80, which
placed him in the Presidential chair
against the votes of large majority OF
the people.
The same was true of Mr.. Tlden, who
mad a popular majority of more than
$50, 900 over Hayes, though he had only
one majority in the Electoral College
and was defrau3ed out of that. MIR.
Cleveland had majority over Blaine on
both the popular and electoral vote, but
it was very close election.
Some statistician has figured it out
that Presidential candidate might have
a majority of nearly million on this
years probable vote, and yet be defeated
In the Electoral College, and as matter
of fact seven of our Presidents have been
minority candidates as regards their
popular strength. This has led to re-
peated efforts to change the law so as to
provide for the election of the President
by the direct vote of all the people, and
very careful measure designed to Sc
cure this has recently been introduced
into the House.
The change would be wise one but
will no doubt meet the fate of other
attempts to amend the Constitution. It
will fail, not for want of merit, but be-
cause of the rooted indisposition to
change the organic law.-Florida Times
Union.

THE JOBBERY IN 1T.
Speaker Carlisle Says that Persons Are
Lobbying for the Direct Tax Law.
Letter to the New York Heraldl


Speaker Carlisle, referring to the di-
rect tax bill as reported to the House by
the Judiciary Committee, says that the
one provision in the bill as it came from
the Senate that was meritorious, If any
portion OF it could be so spoken Of, was
that it provided the government should
return to the persons from which it dl-
rectly collected the tax the amount e3-
acted.
ssThere was but one instance" said the
Speaker, swhen the government did
that, and that was in South Carolina In
and about Beaufort. Many of the prop
erty owners whose estates were levied
upon would be benefited to smalt ex-
tent if the tax was refunded, but it is the
only instance, In every other case, as
in Kentucky, the citizen paid the tax to
the State, and no family or individual
could possibly have the meney refund
ed. It would, if appropriated by Con-
gress, go direct into the treasury of each
State, less the amount to be paid to the
agent of each State.
ssAnd there again let me call your at
tention to the character Of the amend
ment made by the House Judiciary
Committee by striking out the Senate
proviso. The Senate enacted as the last
provision of the bill shat no part of the
money hereby appropriated shall be paid
out by the Governor of any State or Ter
ritory, or any other person, to any attor-
ney or agent under any contract for ser
vices now existing or heretofore made
between the representative Of any State
or Territory and attorney or agent.
ssI do not know how many such con-
tracts are in force, but there are some
persons acting as attorneys or agents
who certainly are not exerting their In
huence or spending their time to secure
the passage Of the bill without hope OF
reward. If there are not interested par
ties, why is it proposed to eliminate this
clause from the bill as it came from the
Senate?'

A VERY LUCKY STRIKE.
Bread and Water for Breakfast, In the
Afternoon Millionaire.

sEAMoK1S, PENN, April l2.-Jsmes
Bailey, Of this city, has fallen heir to
81, 100000, left him by his uncle, VIM.
@. Munson, of Newport, England. Bsi-
ley has wife and seven children, and
for the past four months has missed
many a meal to appease the hunger Of
the little ones. He went on strike with
the rest of the Philadelphia and Reading
men in January, and did not secure his
place when the strike was declared of.
He was compelled to ask aid from the
poor district. This morning he received
a letter from an attorney in England in
forming him of his lucky windfall. Bal
ley, twenty years ago, was the deceased
uncle's private secretary in England.
Falling in love with comely young
sewing girl, he married her, despite his
uncle's earnest protests and threats of
disinheritance. After the marriage he
and the bride bade adieu to England,
sailed for the United States and came to
the coal regions, where he has since
lived. When Bailey was apprised of his
uncle's legacy, he simply remarked:
"Well, this morning We had bread and
water for breakfast, and for dinner we'll
eat chicken for the first time in many
months" Next week the ex-coal digger
will sail with his family for England to
take possession of his riches. He is an
intelligent man, So years old, and enjoys
good health.

Teaching Children to save.

Beginning with Lent, Superintendent
Connor, OF the Episcopal Sunday School
in Youngsville, Pa, gave one cent, to
each of The thirty-three of his scholars
between seven and ten years Of age, re-
questing them to invest each penny In
something which they could sell at q
profit, the amount to be reinvested until
the end OF Lent, when each scholar was
to turn in the result of his or her bust
ness transactions resulting from the one
cent capital. The total profit amounted
to S76.25. Flossie Davis, aged nine
years, turned her penny into twenty.
She started in the ptn-wiper business,
making and selling the article herself.
She enclosed one to Mrs. Cleveland,
asking her to purchase it, and received
the following letter in reply:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WAsHNG7oN, March 9, 1888.
ssMy Dear Little Friend:-I am very
glad to buy your holder. You did not
say how much it was, so I send you 25
cents and I trust it will help you little.
I think it is very nice for little girls to
know how to help, and trust you will
go on all your life doing what you can
for others.

WINTER GRAIN-FARM ANIMALS.
The Monthly Report of the United State
Department of Agriculture.

The Monthly Report of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The April statistical returns to the
National Department of Agriculture re-
late the condition of winter grain and Of
farm animsls. ..
The season for seeding was long, three
months in some OF the Southern States,
and the appearance as winter set in was
uneven, though the plants were general
ly vigorous, and those of early seeding
we'll rooted. In States affected by sum-
mer drought there was slow termination
in soil not well pulverized, causing thin
stands in such areas, hence superficial
impression of condition was made, which
our trained correspondents saw at once
was deceptive, and that the impairment
of status was slight. Later rains i'm
proved the prospect in the South. The
soil was in good tilth, and the field
growth was generally good. In the
Middle States the season was moderately
favorable, though in some places the
soil was dry. In California, with some
exceptions, a very favorable season for
seeding and termination is reported
The drought in Oregon delayed the plant
growth. Only partial winter protection
was enjoyed in the Northern belt. The
variable temperature Of March seriously
injured the plant in central States of the
West, and loss from winter killing ap-
pears even in Texas. On the Atlantic
coast winter injury was very slight.
South of Maryland the temperature was
mild and favorable.
The present appearance Of the crop is
quite unfavorable, as the spring Is late
and the present growth of late sown
wheat is comparatively small Favora-
BILE spring weather might make materi-
al Improvement. The average Of the
present condition is 81, lower than in
recent years, excepting only 1888 and
1885, when the averages were 50 and 76
respectively. The averages of the States
of principal production are as follows:
New York "a, Pennsylvania 80, Ohio 6S,
Michigan 76, Indiana rs, Illinois u,
Missouri 80, Kansas 81. The average Of
Texas is IS and Of most Of the Southern
States higher, from 81 in Arkansas to 81
in Tennessee though the area seeded is
small in this region.
The condition of rye is much higher,
standing in 93.5 for the entire breadth.
The condition of farm animals is COM
paratively good. There has been some
disease among horses, and hog cholera
has been somewhat prevalent during the
past year in its usual habitat. The estl-
mated losses from disease and calualties
are averaged as follows for each thousand
animals: Horses, IS; cattle, %; sheep,
46; swine, 78.
