Mr.. EDGAR EvERsToN SALTUs, one of
our latter-day novelsts, and very
bright young man withal, has story in
the February "Lippincott," "a Trans.
action in Hearts" which is in reality a
transaction in arts Of applying rare and
peculiar words to common and unpe.
culiar subjects. One of the most strik.
ing instances is in giving to his heroine
"iserine eyes" Now, what sort of eyes
are theya Webster says ''iserine'
means "a titanic ore occurring in mono
metric crystalline FORMS" but who ever
heard of a girl having eyes like that,
even in novel; A glass eye isn't to be
compared with it. The only other kind
of "iserine" we know of, and that only
by analogy, is pertaining to the river
1ser. In this, perhaps, lies the explana-
tlon of Edgar's choice, for the poet
Rays.

Cleaning Mems Clothing.

The process of cleaning mems and
boys clothing is simple, and not la
borious and unpleasant. Diagonal,
cashmere, and such materials will
stand washing, and if coat, vest, or
pair of trousers is very dirty or shiny
this is the best way to clean and
freshen it up. 1t is the way the pro-
fessional scourers do it. First, make
a strong soap suds with clean warm
water. Never wash cloth in water
that has been nsed for other things,
as it will make it inty, Souse the
garment up and down in the suds and
rub out all dirty places and grease
spots. If very much soiled, it may
go through second suds; then rinse
well through several waters as warm
as the suds and hang up to dry. When
almost dry roll it up for an hour or
so; then press it.
The secret of pressing without hay
ing the goods look shiny is to put
piece of old muslin between the goods
and the iron and to take up the iron
without fail before the steam stops
rising from the cloth. If there are
bad wrinkles or shiny places put
wet cloth over them and press, with
hot iron, not forgetting to lift off the
iron when the full head of steam is
rising, so that the nap of the cloth
will ha lifted

Georgia and SOuth Carolina.

The Savannah river is all that sep
arates Georgia kom South Carolina
and yet there is marked difference
between the people of the two States
in some particulars. In no respect is
this difference more distinct than in
the manner of treating public men by
the people Of the two commonwealth.
When any one is elevated to posi-
ton in Georgia every man, woman,
and child makes it business to exalt
his virtues, magnify his abilities, and
hold up his hands in the discharge of
duty. The Georgians think there
never were greater men than Ste
phens, Toombs, Ben Hill, and Gordon.
They are constantly sounding the
praises of these and all other promi-
nent men of Georgia.
In South Carolina as soon as man
is put in Office all the people begin to
hy-blow, misrepresent, and black
guard him. His abilities are hclitSteeGi hcliittStIeeG,
his reputation besmirched, and every
thing is done to put him down. Our
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress are said to have no influence
and do nothing but draw pay, the
Governor is mere fgure-head, the
State officers are nobodies and our
Judges the most ignorant persons
among US except country editors.
We could point out other differences
quite as striking and equally disad-
vantageous to South Carolina but we
have said enough to set some people
to thinking.-dt6eciXe Nzdium.

Below the Nine Line.

Cotton is an eighth of cent lower
to-day, Tuesday Sth, than it was this
time last week. Will the price drop
below the nine line? We fear it will,
npless the farmers can hold back
their cotton. Can they do this? Re-
member Col. Terrells address of Sat
urday last. If the farmers are unable
to hold their cotton for better prices,
but are compelled TO part with it at a
sacrifice, why is this the case?
Simply because in failing TO make
their own supplies on their farms,
they have been compelled to sign
away the privilege OF independent,
manly action in disposing of their
cotton crop. In that case, and in so
far as concerns the disposal of that
crop, they lack deal Of being free
men. They are under duress-un-
der bonds to yassalage; and so long
as the conditions last it will be mat
ter of impossibility for the great cot
ton growing interest to make any per-
manent headway in the contest for
fair prices.-Edgefeld Chronicle.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1889-10-16
Hold Your Cotton but Meet Your
Obligations.

The price of cotton last week was
off twenty-five or thirty points, and
our farmers consequently held back
their cotton to a considerable extent.
This is all right, and we approve the
action of the Alliance in such matters
it is thought the interest
of the farmers may be served, pro
vided those who owe on their cotton
make arrangements by which they can
satisfy their obligations to the mer-
chants sufficient to save the latter in
time from great inconvenience in
meeting their accounts. Cotton is
the same as money, and those farmers
can haul their cotton to market, get
advances on it sufficiently to satisfy
the merchant for time, and when
the price advances, both the farmer
and the merchant will be benefited.
This is but just-the farmer desires
to protect his own interest, but he
should not lose sight Of the fact at
the same time that the merchant is
entitled to his dues. OF course the
farmer who owes nothing is at liberty
to do what he pleases with his cot
ton, and the more of such cotton held
until the price goes higher, the better
for all concerned.
When the majority of the farmers
of the country get into position
where they can hold their cotton
without getting advances on it to pay
the merchant, the key note of the
prosperity Of the country will have
been sounded, and the actions and
wishes of the farmers will be much
more respected.-Chera,o Reporter.

Says the Greenville Ne,rs; eve are
informed that the Farmers Alliance
at Fork Shoals, Greenville county,
has formally boycotted the Greenville
Weekly Ne,cs because of its express
sions OF opinion regarding some of
the proceedings and purposes of the
Alliance"
Don't do it. It is mistake. The
paper that can say fearlessly and hon
estly what it thinks, is just the paper
everybody needs. The friend who
always speaks smooth words is not
a1ways the friend who is most valua-
bic, though he may be ethe most pleas
ant. In fact, the friend who can and
will tell Us when he believes we are
going wrong is invaluable. Our friend
may be mistaken in his judgment,
but mistaken or not the criticism of
SUCH an one should not give offence,
and is more likely to be beneficial than
the fattering words of him who is de-
sirous alone to please.
We believe that the Farmers Ali
ance is a great movement, and we
feel that great good will grow out OF
the organization, but like any other
organization it is liable to make mis-
takes. To attempt to silence criticism
that is honest and sincere, by the
method adopted by the Fork Shoals
Alliance, is not manly and will not
prove efficient.
This movement will grow despite
petty and malicious criticism, and it
may be greatly aided by the honest
and manly suggestions of those who
are its true friends and we'll. wishers.

Harmony Presbytery.
ES,anter Watchmdn.]

The Presbytery of Harmony con-
vened in this city on the 4th inst,
and adjourned on the 7th, to meet
at Salem, Black River, church on
Wednesday before the End Sabbath
in April next. The representation
was unusually slim for the town meet
ings, there being only 16 ministers
present out of possible 81, and only
20 elders out possible so. The mar
ratives from the churches gave an en-
couraging view of the numerical and
spiritual growth of the church within
iSe bounds of the Presbytery. Sever
al new churches have been organized
during the past year, and petitions
for organization were granted to two
other communities, one at kershaw,
on the 3C's road, and one at DuBoses
X Roads in this county.
Some matters of Importance were
sent down by the General Assembly
for the action of Presbytery, the chief
of which one concerning the
adoption of the new directory OF
worship, and one pertaining to the
1.-THE and societies within the church.
These were referred to appropriate
COMMITTEES to report on at the spring
meeting.
The most important action taken
by the Presbytery was the adoption
of an overture to Synod, at its ap-
preaching meeting, to divide the
Presbytery into two, making Lynches
river the dividing line till it empties
into the Pee Dee, and that river the
dividing line from this point to the
sea. The territory west Of tins line
embracing Is ministers and 20
churches viii retain the name OF the
Presbytery of Harmony with the rec
ords and the obligations OF the old
Presbytery; and the territory east Of
this line, embracing 10 ministers and
q churches will be called the Pee
Dee Presbytery. As matter of SEN
timent it was very painful to Presby-
terry to consent to this division, but
it was found to be necessary for the
more efficient cultivation of the field
and especially for the accommodation
and the better attendance upon the
meetings of Presbytery.
As the matter now stands the Pres
bytery comprises II counties, which
makes it impossible for the delegates
to attend its meetings as they should,
and, besides this, a full meeting could
not be accommodated except at a few
churches within it's bounds. No
doubt this action will create stir in
old Harmony for a time but the
minds of all will ultimately come to
the conclusion that it was wisely done.
Dr.. Sheazer, President of Davidson
College, was present at the meeting
and made a strong plea for that college
after the reading of the narratives on
Saturday.
DR.. L. 81. Law was also present
and made strong appeal in behalf of
the American Bible Society which he
represents.
The messing of the Presbytery was
pleasant and harmonious throughout
and made wholesome impression
socially and spiritually on our COM
.nunitv.

farmers from all parts of the county, striv-

who see and feel the necessity for improv-

numbers thirty-two sub-alliances, and we
understand the membership is increasing
at every meeting. The farmers are deter
mined in this movement. and the good they
have already accomplished is an incentive
to greater effort When the farmers pros

every one should rejoice at their success.
