Big Week.

Last week was gala week in Charleston ana
many Of our people went down 10 the sea-
shore, on pleasure bent, while some may
have gone for business.
The list of premiums awarded to AbbeVlil7
pcoplc at the Floral Fair WIS unusually goou.
If Mrs. Lawson, of our town. had sent speci'
mems of her beautiful flowers, we know that
she, too, would have borne off some OF the
honorS.
But bigger than all the gala week, ana all
the flowers together, was the election news.
The Democrats seem to have cotton on n tidal
wave which brought victory to them. Our
people had little thought of Democratic sue
cess in Iowa, Ohio, New York, or elsewhere,
the chief interest being in the result OF the
election in Virginia. Malone was threaten
ing to break the "Solid South and he and
Virginia occupied prominent place before
the country. Few OF US thought OF the posi-
bllity of breaking Omitted North
But Malone was badly beaten, and Demo
cratic success in other states has sent dssmay
to Harrison and his followers Harrison is
now busily eXcusing himself OF any blame for
Mahone's defeat, and no one yet attempts TO
comfort Mr. Harrison for the Republican de-
feat which his party has sustained IN other
States. So far, il looks like Harrison ana his
postmasters are not winning great honorS for
"de party"

The idea that VIC have any feeling OF hostii'

We think We can sag without any violation
either of truth or Of mudcSty, iiia1 our COURSE

No one in the State has Il more sincere dc

But all men cannot think alike upon all

they should.
Every freeman has the right TO think iol
himself, but that should not induce int0ler

TO hear the views of others is the privilege

Having an earnest desire for the improve

You Didn't Know This.

Two Sundays must intervene between no
tice of election, and the day of election
Hon. James Simons, in Il letter to Hon. j.. G
Gray,lon. has this to say on the subject OF ad
vising elections, which is interesting, and
which furnishes interesting reading. He
says:
Strange to say the election law has no pro
vision for notice OF such election or how TO bt
advertised. But "mnemorial usage re-
uuires two Sundays notice.
This was decided in the contested election
case Allen VS.. TOmpkins. which was claoo
rately and ably argued before the Committee
on Privileges and Elections and passed on by
the House.
This case refers to the joint resolution o
the House and Senate, expressing the views ol
the Legislature as To the conduct Of elections
duties of managers, &c., in which among 9th.
er things 1t was resolved that the managers
of elections throughout the state shall give
reasonable notice OF the election anu ~ least
Two Sundays previous to the election
In view of the silence OF the present cleo
tion law this is the only expression Of the
Judgment of the Legislature as 10 WHAT con
stltllteS reasonable notice OF the election.
or course the notice Is now given ny inc
commissioners of election. The notice should
be at least ten days, including NV" sun
days." and ought 10 be as long as thcy can
make il. that Is in this case. The nul4bcr ol
insertions Of advertisement must depend on
the reasonable discretion OF the COMMISSION
crs with reference to the publication oil PIT
pers, &c. .,.,,.
[ have often been curious to know why "two
Sundays previous notice was nainca IN tpc
resolution as ..rcasonab!r notice, and in i'll
vestigatlou found that this is one OF the maEy
instances where Il custom survives AFTER The
reason for its origin has ceased. Way back In
colonial times election notices were required
to be given 10 the chulc wardcnS, ana tn"y
were required to post them on The PARISH
church doors Mt least 1.-TWO sundays" previous
to the election. II was evidently supposed
that the people could be best notified By see
ing the notices when they came to church
and two Sundays afforded Il reasonable oppor-
tunity for information.

Ang,tstn Chronicle,

A cotton buyer and exporter said to q Clrron-
iclc reporter yesterday that the publication In
the atlanta Constitution, n few days ago, about
the recovering with jute at the cotton press,
of cotton bales covered with cotton bagging.
was unjust to Augusta.
Said he, the recovering Of cotton bagging
with jutc has been largely discontinued, AMI
is not done ut all By npy Large EpgUsh I'M
porter. a fpw 'bIyc''sw Who buy in small way
&n thcif own account have their cotton rccov-
cred for tho thirty cents n bale profit which
buyers, representing large Liverpool houses.
are instructed TO do so by their houses.
On the contrary, they are instructed not to
do so. ] had instructions to this effect from
the first, and have never had IL bale recovered.
Several buyers who were recovering them
have received instructions from their houses
to discontinue II.
This has been done not only at Augusta, but
at the ports, and there arc comparatively very
few bales recovered now anywhere. Certain
ly there are very few recovered in Augusta,
and in Il short time there will he absolutely
none except those bales which are covered in
some very thin and insufficient covering
which has been so badly torn rs TO demand it.
Another point" said q factor, who came up
at this moment "there are very few cotton
covered bales sold to exporters in Augusta.
For the most part they are bought by the
mills. in which case the farmer Is allowed tif
| for his cotton more than he could get for it at
any other city in the country"
Augusta occupies prominent position as q
cotton CENTRE and as the friend Of the far

bagging, Augusta Is entitled TO The cordial ell.

between the Brotherhood of Locomotive

is not impossible that a strike
will be declared. When the Grievance
Committee submitted the engineers side
of the case, Mr.. kimball referred the
Committee to the president. The COM

ing Yesterday afternoon in Brotherhood
Hall and talked over the situation at
some length.
When questioned, one of the number
said:-"We will stand no bluff If Mr..
Adams does not soon reply to our tele-
gram we will take it for granted that
arbitration is useless, and we will follow
out our own course for remedy"
isWill you strikeY
81 will give you an answer to that ques-
ton this afternoon. Manager Baldwin is
new in the business, but he may prove an

ROSE BARTH's STRANGE STORY.

She Has Three stepmothers, and She
Ekeft Them to Get Work.
A neatly dressed and pretty young girl
of fourteen years by the name of Rose
Barth was found by Greenville patrol
man last night in hut occupied by
an old negress, known as old Mrs. Will
Jams, whose domicile is a resort for both
sexes, all of whom sleep in the same
ROOM
The girl was observed about the hut by
suspicious watch1nan, who notified the
officer. When questioned the girl said she
came from No. 512 Sixth street, New
York. Her father had been married
four times, and three of his
wives were still living, all of
whom claimed her as their step-daughter.
She became tired of their prosecutions,
and, as her father paid little attention to
her, with another girl she came over to
Jersey City last Tuesday to look for a
situation.
The two became separated, and Rose
wandered about the streets until next
day, when she found herself at Mrs. Will
iams, who took her in and allowed her to
remain. She was sent to the police head
quarters and taken home today.

THE BOOKS TURNED OVER.

Mr.. Lawrence Doesn't Think the Asses
sors Intended to DEFY the Law.
The books of all the old City Assessors
are now in possession of the new Tax
Board, except those of Assessor O'Rourke.
Those will be delivered this afternoon.
''In the manner of surrendering their
books" said Tax Commissioner David w !.
Lawrence this afternoon, 81 do not think
that the old Assessors intended to violate
the law. They merely followed the rule
that had been followed by the
Assessors from time immemorial
1t had been the custom Of the Assessor
to surrender to his successor only the old
est books he had Those containing his
latest data and memoranda he regarded
as his own property, and kept them. So
when they surrendered the books to us
they sent us only the old ones. The val
liable books to us are those
most lately compiled, and we took the
view that as the city had paid the Asses
sors for the time they spent upon them,
they were city property, and we de-
manded them. We have them all now
except O'Rourke's."

The regular meeting of the Palma Club
was held last evening at the clubhouse on
Jersey avenue and was largely attended.
The constitution was amended so as to

clined with thanks the box for the per-
formance of the PIRATES of Penzance,"
