The fire engine is now 50 exposed to the
weather that it is almost impossible to keep
it in working condition and although Fl res
in Union generally involve considerable los,
when they do occur, they occur so scld ON
that the engine is forgotten and neglected,
and when its services are demanded
it is SO out of order that either it
cannot he used at al or the fire gets
beyond control before it can throw q stream
upon it.
We suggest, however, that if they pur-
chase a bell, it should be placed on the
hotel. That would be the most central
position and being nearer the popuous part
of the town, the alarm from it would be
heard quicker and by more people than if
placed at the extreme end; besides, it
would he always accessible, and at the
same time under the eye of some one to
prevent its being rung for false alarms.

A FEARFUL RECORD.-We are really
afraid to say how many houicil"s we have
had in South Carolina turing the past
twelve months, but OF enc ,hinG we are GER
tain, and that is that il presents n III ost
fearful record. Indeed, the matter has ns-
sumed such proportions that our most in
telligcnt men are considering how il may
be decreased and what is the reason for
the increase.
Human life seems in the eyes of many 10
be more than that of the brute, and man
kills his fellow-mau, in many instances,
for very trivial acuscS, and, without even u
reprimaud, go out again into tho world a
free man, without any apparent repentance
for his most awful deed.
We search in vain for the cause Of the
increase according to the views of many.
Men, prominent socially aud politically.
are shot down like dogs, and in most cases
the plea of sclf-dctcnsc is all that is neccs-
sary to acquit. We dislike very much to
believe that this thing will continue, but
unless the laws arc more r'gidly enforced,
and the rope brought more frequently into
use, we have little promise for improvement t
in the future.
We hope 10 see public sentiment Guilt
yated That will look down upon those who
seem TO have such an utter disregard for
human life, AMI one that will be such
pressure upon our courts and uries that
no guilty man will bc allowed to escape

ans. The action Of the Liyernaol Colt

Bay> The action of the Liverpool Cotton
Exchange upon the matter Of cotton vs.
iute baggng, it seems to us, should show
the cotton producers of this country how
completely they are at the mercy of foreign
markets and spectators, and impel them to
throw oil their influence and means toward
establishing and sustaining among them
selves al those industries in which cotton
forms n part or whole of their products
Many fear we are OVERRIDING the Cotton
Factory business. Why, in the South we
are hardly on the threshold of the cotton
fabric enterprises. Not until the South can
control tho cotton market through the de-
mand Of her own Factories will there be
the least danger Of building too many Cot :
ton Factories down here among the cotton
fields.

Gsn4r SO far the crops of cotton. corn and
peas never gave greater promise of large
yields. There is also, plenty of grass, which
should hc saved for winter roughncss.
Crab. or crop grass hay is fully NS good us
the Northern hay We buy at the stores and
always finds ready sale nt good prices.
Did il ever occur To our farmers that they
get more for the hay they sell ,han the
Northern and Western farmers do? But,
such is IL fact. We pay the same for home
made hay from the wagon. that is charged
for Northern and Western hay, with railroad
freight added. If Northern and Western
farmers can, and they do, make money on
hay cut from land worth from $50 To $50
an acre, it does seem to us that the Southern
farmer could make money from hay cut from
land worth from 81 10 $40 an acre. and more
especially when thcy'gct at least the cost of
railroad freight more than the Northern and
Western farmers do.

Preoocious Thieves.

One day last week, while Mr.. Tref1ery the
Jeweller, was busy at his bench, two colored
boys, Davis Levi. and Fletcher Farr, came
into the store, and while Farr attracted Mr..
Trefzer's attention Lewis slipped around the
counter to the safe, and finding it unlocked
stole box in which was $40 in silver.
Mr.. Trefzer missed the money that even
ing, and suspicion resting on those boys,
upon being closely questioned about it they
confessed the crime.
The boys ha4 spent large part of shs
money, uttheir relatives have made up the
deficiency so that Mr.. Trefzer has recovered
all that was stolen.
1t was daring act, particularly for such
youths, and shows q shrewd capacity ant
inclination for crime that will bear clos'
watching.

TARE ON COTTON BALES.

will publish the following extract from
the News and Courier of Aug. ID, which
gives to the farmer q price for net cotton;
the weight of hoops and cotton bagging
being deducted:
Major L. A. Ransom has just received o
dispatch from Col. Butler, commissioner OF
agriculture, who, with other Southern COM
msioners is in New York for the purpose
ofinduoing the Cotton Exchange to change
the tare on cotton bagg,ng. The dispatch
states that the Cotton Exchange to-day graut-
cd all that the commissioners asked. What
they intended to ask and doubtless did re-
quest was, that the price Of cotton be fixed
for net cotton; that is, the staple without
baggng or hoops. Heretofore nu average
| of about 6 per cont has been deducted
for tare, or the weight of bagging aud ties.
| This concession opens the way for the gen.
eral use Of cotton instead of jute bagging,
| as the Liverpool Exchange will hardly refuse
| to make the same agreement.
But, Mr.. Editor that arbitrary body has
