TRADE OF THE WEEK
Unfayorable Influence of the Mild. Wealth
or fely in Many Departments Of BuSl

Unfayorable Influence of the Mild. Wealth
er fel. in Many Departments Of BaSi-
ness.
NEW YORK, Dec 20.--E. G. Dan & CO..
review Of the trade of the week says:
Mild weather causes increasing trouble.
Perhaps the coal trade suffers most. The
dry goods and boot and shoe trades are
much affected, especially III articles for win
ter wear, and in some quarters even holiday
trade is restricted by the unreasonable
weather. The bad state of tie country
roads cuts off lnEch trading and renders
many retail dealers unable to meet their OBJ
legations. and small failures have become
alarmingly frequent. At Philadelphia" ur-
fortunate embarrasSments in the clothing
trade are feared, unless winter weather
comes.
Another untavorable feature appears in
some Southern States. Trade is seriously
affected for time by the operation of the
Farmers Alliance, which enlist farmers in
co. cooperative trading and absorbs money
which might otherwise go to settle lndeDt-
elness with merchants. The results III some
localities almost paralyZes trade.
| But the general tenor OF reports as to the
condition Of business, excepting as tempo
rarily affected by the weather, IS by no
means unlavorable. The volume OF trade
continues larger than year ago Clearlngs,
outside Of New York, are still about III per
cent. larger than last year, and railroad
earnings show a handsome increase, not
wlthstanding the inability Of many roads
to furnish cars for all the freight offered.

Race Trouble in Salem.


We learn that serious disturbance
between the whites and negroes oc-
Cured in Salem last Monday. A fight
seemed imminent, and it was feared
that unless the matter could be qui-
eted before ten o'clock Tuesday that
q fight would occur, in which case it
is probable that many lives would be
lost.
Il seems that two weeks ago dog
of Mr.. 7. J. Gibbons strayed on Har-
dy Hsrring's (colored) place, and
shat Herring shot the dog, killing it.
The following Monday night dec. l6)
q crowd of masked men visited Har-
dy, and gave him severe whipping.
Herring thereupon swore out a war
rant against ,Messrs. Mack Beard, Bill:
gibbons, Wiley Barrow, and j. ".
u Mss charging them with the Of
tense. The case was to have been
heard last Monday before Trial JUS
tice Fleming, but when the day arriv-
ed, the negroes had worked themselves
up to a red hot heat, and having made
numerous threats, the white people
likewise gathered, about hundred
strong, and both sides armed for a
fight. Hot blood existed, and very
little would have precipitated the row.
The white men arrested are said to be
the wrong party, and they could have
easily proven their innocence, but
owing to the high state of excitement
it was thorght best for them to waive
apreliminary examination, and to give
bond for trial at the higher court.
This was unexpected to the negroes,
who regarded the waving of the pre-
hminary and the bond, as tantamount
to an acquittal This was about 2
o'clock Monday.
Pinckney Witherspoon, with great
gusto and effort at oratory, then step
ped out and said: Il am here ready
to die. I want all of my race to meet
me tomorrow afternoon at the Man
ming Road Church, to have revenge,
for beating one of our race into a
mummy" This speech was seconded
by Charles Kennedy and Ransom
Gamble and q hundred others.
Mn. W. II. H. Hobbs at this juno
ture left for Manning, to get warrant
of arrest for the ring leaders. A war
rant was issued Monday night, and
placed in the hands of Mr.: J. 81. Les
esne, who, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff J-R. Auld, at once started
for Salem. The next morning
tuesday they found Ransom
Gamble, and after considerable
trouble succeeded in bringing him to
Manning, where he was put in
Jail. We presume from what
the deputies say that there is not like
ly to be much more trouble.

Gov. Richardson, in response to a
request from the New York World for
his estimate of Mr.. Davis's character,
returned the following dispatch: ssMy
estimate of Mr.. Davis is that of all
true Southern men, as evidenced in the
profound grief that to-day pervades
every household in this mourning
Southland from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande. He was a patriot, hero.
and martyr, and when the passions and
preiudices of civil connection shall
have passed away and been forgotten.
history will class him among the great

ous of this century"

the Hungarian juggler' of Address circus

it is said the juggler became intoxicated and
attempted to cross the track in front Of the

The diamond and pearl necklace
worn on State occasions by Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt has excited the
greatest wonder and admiration.
The striking feature of this necklace
is that the diamonds are pierced
through the center and are strung al
ternately with the pearls. 1t is said
that it required many weeks of patient
labor to pierce each stone.

Hoods Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount
Of good. 1t gave me an appetite, and my food

The Amendment and Cider.
BY Ex CHIEF JUSTICE AGNEw.

ID LA Si1AIT ANNENs
Another device Of the opponents of
prohibition is to alarm the farmers on
the ground that the amendment will
forbid the making of cider. This is
really absurd, but the statement needs
a denial.
The words Of the amendment are !:
"The manufacture, sale or keeping for
sale of Intoxicating liquor to be used
as beverage is hereby prohibited"
To make cider is not to manufacture
an Intoxicating liquor. Cider is the
mere juice of the apple aud is not an
intoxicant when first made. AS well
might the eating of apples be forbid.
den 1t requires fermentation to pro.
duce alcohol, the intoxicating princi.
pc of hard cider. Every farmer
knows he does not make hard cider.
1t must stand several weeks before it
becomes hard, and the next process is
the acetous fermentation which makes
it vinegar.
Then look at the absuIdity of com.
pelling the constable to visit all the
farmers in his township to find out
whether the owners have made cider.
But if pressing out the juice of apples
is manufacturing an Intoxicating
liquor, the cider mill is as necessary
to be returned as a distilery or a
brewery. Such is the absurdity the
opponents of a valuable reform are
reduced to in order to defame it and
carry off votes.
1t is to be hoped no farmer who has
an apple orchard will suffer himself to
be imposed upon by the silly assertion
that cider is within the amendment
until it has undergone. fermentation
and become bard.
He can make all the cider he pleases
aud sell it before it has reached the
point when it becomes intoxicating
or be may keep it until it becomes
vinegar and then sell it.
Of course, the man who sells or
keeps for sale hard cider as beverage
will come within the amendment.
But we presume no farmer wishes or
intends TO do this. 1t is not necessary
because he makes cider to do it, for
then he would voluntarily incur the
prohibition. All farmers have to do
is to follow the business Of their farms
as heretofore, and not to turn them
selves into bar keepers or sellers oi
Intoxicating drinks, The juice of the
apple, like the juice of the grape, is
harmless when pressed. 1t is only
when fermentation has taken place
one becomes hard and the other be.
