Lawrence Burgess, negro boy seven

ted to jail at this place last Friday, charged
with an attempt to commit criminal as
sault the day before, on Estelle Canty, a
white girl, aged about 10 or 12 years, a
daughter Of Mr.. Stephen R. Canty. She
had been to MIR. S. P. Brockinton's store,
about mile from her fathers house, and
was returning with some bundles when she
was approached by the boy. She though:
be was after her bundles and offered them
to him, but he proceeded to lay his hands
on her. Her screams attracted the atten-
ton of gentleman who was not far of and
who, on going to her relief, saw the boy near
by. The boy was brought to town by her
father and another gentleman, and turned
over to the proper authorities to be dealt
with as the law dirscts. Mr.. Canty is cer-
tainly law abiding man. This is the first
instance, so far as we know, in this county.
where negro has attempted such treatment
toward q white female, and if the statement,
as related to US above, be true, and We have
no reason to doubt it, Lawrence Burgess
should be made to suffer the full extent Of
the laws penalty.

DON'T USE JuTE BAGGING.

DON'T USE JUTE BAGG1NG.
No farmer should use jute bagging,
whether he is an Alliance man or not,
but especially should the members Of
the Alliance make immediate ar
rangements to get all the cotton bag
ging necessary for their crops. AS
our arrangements had not been per-
fected and knowing the importance Of
baling at once the first cotton, he had
arranged for a thousand yards to be
distributed until the regular order
could be filed. This was at the dis
posal Of the members. There would
be ample cotton bagging for all ALI
ance men and for those outside of the
order who are intending to use it.
Remember that all the cotton is not
picked at once, and we have until
January to complete baling it.
He hoped that another year the
cotton mills of S. G. will be able to
supply all the bagging we will need
in the State for cotton, and all the
bags for our guano, which would GER
tainly be to our interest as whole
people.

Charleston's Promising Outlook.
Ne,cs and Courier.

The fall trade has opened unusually early
this season, and during the past week there
have been large number Of merchants in
Charleston, some Of whom purchased their
full stocks for the fail trade. Among the
buyers were merchants from distant points
points within the natural commercial
territory of Charleston-who were tolled OF
to other markets but have come back to
their first love.
The indications are that Charleston will
do a very large business this season, and
it is expected that there will be a rush of
buyers to this market during the next week.
There is room and welcome for ali who
come. Charleston is ready to meet the
tradesmen from the country, and to give
them better bargains, and more bargains,
than any other market south of New York
or east of Chicago. In a word, there's no
place like Charleston!

THANKSGIVING DINNER.

1t is not necessary tha: the Thanksgiv-
ing feast should be sumptuous. There
need not be turkey on the table, nor
mince pie, nor plum pudding, nor ice
cream. The plates and dishes need not
be of fine porcelain, nor the spoons and
forks of solid silver No colored man
need stand behind auy of the chairs, to
deprive people of the pleasure of waiting
upon one another.
All may be very plain, cheap and SIM
pie. Last Thanksgiving father who
was in pecuniary straits took home for
his boys dessert two quarts of hot pea
nuts, and they We're received with shouts
of laughter and applause. He says they
were the pleasantest Thanksgiving hit
he ever made in his life.
But there are some things which are
essential to the success of a Thanksgiv-
ing festival. Every one must be present
who ought to be there-the whole fam
lily circle within reasonable reach; the
unpopular members of it, as well as the
popular; the i'll favored and the hand
some; the unfortunate and the fortu-
nate; those whom nobody particularly
wants to see, as well as those whom
everybody delights to see; welcome all
on this glad day!
There is strange pleasure in the oc-
casional meeting of the most incongruous
people, provided the spirit of innocent
gayety gets into the ascendant, and re-
mains there. Every one says, "Who
could have thought that old Cousin Dick
and cranky Aunt Abigail could have been
so agreeablel''
Each person must, of course, leave his
troubles at home with his old clothes, or
button them up close and tight in his in
nermost pocket. We all have troubles,
and there are times when it is proper to
tell them; but on occasions of family
festiyity it is good to forget, for few
brief hours, that there is such thing as
trouble in the world.
Family affection is a source of so much
happiness and help to us that no fair op-
portunity of Strengthening and increas-
ing it should be allowed to pass unim-
proved.-Youths' Companion.

To tariff yeformers who have watched
its course, the hopeful view which The
Madison Democrat now takes Of the
political situation is very encouraging.
When ex-president Cleveland, in his
memorable message to congress, virtu-
ally pitched the great battle of 1888
upon the tariff issue the journal refer
red to expressed itself as fearful of
the result. 1t was earnest and uncom-
promising in its advocacy Of tariff
were not sufficiently interested in the
question, and that for one taxpayer
who fairly understood the matter of
federal taxation, there were many who
either did not interest themselves in the
subject or were deluded by the mis-
application of the sweet sounding,
good word, protection, and that there
fore one short campaign was not suf-
lcient to push the good fight to sue
cessfuI conclusion. This view of the
situation was altogether too conserva-
tive to please so radical a tariff reform
journal as The Iowa County Democrat;
and now to read such words as the
following in paper which expressed
such well grounded fears at an early
stage of the grand tariff reform cam
paign, which is now fairly opening up,
encourages us nightly:
" Never has there been so marked
charge in public sentiment rs in the
last year. The laboring men are ours
ing the tariff; the manufacturers are
in large numbers declaring it failure
the farmers are beginning to recog
nizc it as a fraud. Events conspire to
illustrate the fallacy, hot to say false
hood, of the protection promises of a
year ago. Wages low, prices low,
markets glutted, the protection wall is
now felt by many to be shutting our
selves in rather than the rest of the
world out. The republican party would
no more dare go into the campaign of
1892 with its platform of year ago,
than it would dare confront giant,
armed only with sword of lath. The
cause to which Mr. Cleveland gave
such an impetus, and for which he
placed in peril his chance of election,
is advancing as no cause ever yet adj
vanced The stone which the builders
rejected a year ago will soon become
the head of the corner"
