DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.
1t Exists Only Where the Housekeeper IL
Also u Home Maker.

IL
Home-keeping is something more
than se-keeping. Wherever there
is n man of our race there Is, If not a
home, the need Of home, and Wher-
ever there is a true lady Of the Anglo
Saxon lineage there is "lOaf-glVer, a
homc-maker and home-prcserycr As
all the rivers empty into the sea. as the
sea forever feeds the sources Of every
stream, so all colleges, schools, churches,
all arts and trades, continually give up
their results to the home and are, in
turn, dependent upon the home. 1t IS
the level of the sea that fixes the
measure of the mountain tops; the level
Of the homes Of a race measures all the
institutions Of the race. Whatever IS
rooted up or borne down in the vast
progress of civilization, the mother Will
survive, and will give her stamp to life.
1t is a woman's peculiar province to
create beauty and order in the habits
and associations of daily existence. She
takes the raw material, in the shape OF
her husbands income, great or small,
and from it she evolves as much
comfort, as many Legitimate graft
flea tions, and as many of the
| finer uses of 4 home as she can. There
is wide range for many varieties OF
skill and knowledge. In one home we
see the results Of thorough domestic
training; the mother possesses all the
resources of a wise and practical system

an, who loves because she loves and
makes home without previous train

keeping shall not show inhospitality to
woman'G thought regarding home mat
ters and whatever concerns humanity
concerns the home.
In these days materialism is knocking
at every door. 1t has even found its
way within the sanctuary and invadeS
the very nursery. To wives and mothers
it offers the insidious plea that modern
civilization will relieve her of her cares.
Multiplied convenienCes and trained
servants are to be the important facts

ruling only as queen rules "heh her
constitutional advisers govern her as
we'll as the kingdom. This is false
theory of home rule in the family,
whatever it may be in the State. Home
keeping implies an earnest and re-
sponsibe charge of sacred interests. In
the administration Of home affairs the
house mother can trust no one between
herself and God.
The cooking, sewing, furnishing, are
all good, needful things, to be done
more or less by proxy, according to cir
rumstances, but all worth knowing
about. The necessary precautions for
health in modern dwellings, the secret

Opium in salmon Cans.

A prominent Fraser river canner is
now in Astoria, who, Notwithstanding
the fact that other Gamers there mado
nothing, is a millionaire. But he did
not make it altogether out Of salmon,
Int has been interested in opium SNUG
pling. The way the thing is worked is
this: The opium is packed into salmon
cans, hermetically sealed up, and with
an attractive salmon label pasted on the
outside, goes on It's way rejoicing. In a
shipment several "loaded" cases are in
troduced, bearing private mark. When
the consignment arrives in San Francis
co the import duty is paid on the sal
mon, and the opium is now safe in the
spromised land" Once in the United
States, it is no trouble to secrete and
dispose of it. The customs officers do
not open hermetically sealed canned
goods, and the result is large quantities
of the seductive drug have found their
way into the United States. 1t seems
that this business has been going on for
wears and canneries could be run at q
loss and still make profit in some un-
accountable way.-San Francisco Paper,

It is Only a "Suggestion."

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: The State Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic party
met last week in Columbia, the
greater part of the members from
the up country were not present. They
called the State Convention to meet at
Columbia, September 10 at y m. Time
Of meeting from some cause is much
later than usuat. Had they stopped
here their action might have escaped
criticism, but in manner peculiar to
themselves they took from the County
Executive Committees the fixing of the
time and place when under article "A
of the constitution of the party the can
didates for State offices might address
the people of the respective counties.
1t is true that the fixing of the time
and place is only suggestion to the
committees, yet it is virtually taking
from them that which is given them
(the County Committees) under article
II above referred to. But they do not
stop here they suggest Ct is always e
suggestion that other persons than can
dida:es for State offices may be invited.
Now we come to the milk in the
cocoanut. We may expect Mr.. Till
man to be confronted by others than
those who are candidates for State
offices-why is this? Is it thought
that no man of ability sufficient to
cope with him can be induced to stand
for Governor aud therefore that to be
successful outsiders must be called in /?
But as it is only a suggestion on the
part Of the State Committee we may
be mistaken. There is nothing, how
ever, like keeping on the alert and
seeing to it that what is authorized by
the constitution shall alone be done
i. e., that only candidates for State
officers shall be invited to speak at
these meetings-to invite any others
would be to set the constitution of the
party at defiance.
The ball rolls on and Mr.. Tillman is
gaining friends for the movement each
day. Let every farmer and every man
Of whatever avocation who desires
economy and reform in the State Gov
ernment add his name and influence to
the movement so that when the State
Convention meets in September it may
say in tones Of thunder-Me Offices be.

Our correspondent, 49," has some
criticisms of the action of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee.
In order that appointments in diff
ferent counties might not be made on
the same dates we think it very good
thing for the Committee to have sug-
gested the appointments for the varl-
Gus counties. It will avoid confusion,
and we have no doubt these appoint
ments will be acceptable to the various
counties and to the candidates. 1t is
we'll to have things done decent and in
order.
AS to the other criticism that they
suggest that other than candidates
may be invited, we confess that we did
not see that reported as the action Of
the committee. The correspondent in
reporting this meeting says: ut is
understood, of course, that the county
committee can invite whom they
please to these meetings, whether they
be candidates or not" This, as we
read it, is not suggestion of the Ike
cutive Committee, but the interpreta-
ton placed upon the l4th article by the
reporter himself. And certainly there
is nothing in this particular article
which forbids others than candidates
to speak at these meetings. The article
says that "all candidates for State Of
fees shall be invited" but does not say
that those who are not candidates
shall not be invited. At least that is
the way we see it. We agree with ''76"
that the offices belong to the people,
and they can elect whomsoever they
please, and so far as we are concerned
we shall accept the verdict the majori-
ty shall render in this matter as cheer
fully as "76," or any other true citizen.
But let US have fair play all around,
and not be too ready to find fault or
question the motives Of our fellow citi-
zens, who possibly do not think just as
we do. They may be just as honest
and conscientious as we are.

COTTON SEED OIL MILL.

last wear several conferences were
held in Newberry, and several articles
were written on the subject of building
4 Cotton Seed Oil Mil! and Fertilizer
Company for Newberry, and after all
that. it was finally decided that 1t was
too late for last season and the whole
matter was postponed for another year.
The question is being agitated again
this year, and two meetings have been
held recently, looking to the formation
of 4 company. These meetings how
ever have been poorly attended. This
is time for action, and We believe
there are plenty Of men in the town
and county who have the money and
who are willing to put it into such an
enterprise. Committees to raise the
necessary stock have been appointed.
It is necessary that good business
man be put at the head of it, but such
q man can be found and because you
don't Just know who is to be president
or secretary or treasurer Of the COM
pany when organized, don't let that
keep any man from subscribing stock
and helping to plant a good industry in
our town. When the company IS Or
ganized, after you have subscribed your
money, attend the meetings and vote
for the officers you prefer, and if your
choice is not the choice of the majority
why work together anyhow for the
good of the company, and if the man
agement proves inefficient why the
majority will soon want change.
What we want is concert of action
and unanimity of sentiment, pulling
all together for the upouilding of our
town and county, and unless we do
pull together we can never make
progress.
Let our moneyed men put up their
money and build this mill and fertilizer
company, and work should be COM
menced without much more delay if it
is expected to be ready for the next
crop.

THURSDAY MAY -, 1890.
THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

We publish on the first page OF this
paper the proceedings Of the State
Democratic Executive Committee at
their meeting held in Columbia last
week. Mass meetings are appointed to
be held in every county in the State
The campaign opens at Greenvlile on
Tuesday, June 10th, and closes at
WATERFORD Oil Tuesday, August 9TH.
The mass meeting for Newberry VIII
be held here on Friday, June 18th.
Under the constitution Of the Demo-
cratic party of the State the Executive
Committee of each county is requested
to invite all candidates for State offices
t, attend these meetings. This otcourse
does not prevent them from inviting
others who are not candidates to attend
these meetings.
This will give every man who wants
to run for State office a chance to go
before the people Of the State and pre-
sent his case to the consideration of the
voters.
We presume that Mr.. Tillmans
campaign committee will not map out
= separate compaign for him, but that
he will appear at the mass-meetlngs as
appointed by the State Committee.
No delegates are to be elected to the
State Convention, which is to meet in
Columbia on the 10th of September
until after the close of the State can
vas. This is proper, for it will give all
the candidates an opportunity to be
heard before delegates are elected. Nc
delegates to county conventions ought
to be elected until the close of this pre-
limiuary canvas.
We will surely have plenty Of time
now for every voter to hear all sides
and make up his mind as to his choice
for the various offices to be filled.
1t is meant, we presume, as cam
paign of education. If the candidates
will discuss live issues, and let alone
personalities, vilification and viturpera
ton, it will result in good. But no gooe
can come from campaign of abuse
and appeals to prejudice and passion.
Let there be fair play all around, ane
we shall see the Democracy present
solid front in support Of the choice o
the majority.

THE ANDERSON MEETING.

We have not the space to publish the
speeches of Capt. Tillman and Gen.
Jos. H. Earle last Saturday at Ander-
son, and an attempt to abbreviate
might do both injustice. The reports
of this meeting would fill more than
one fourth of The Herald and News.
Capt. Tillman's speech was much the
same as his speech the week before at
Ridgeway.
Capt. Tillman admitted to Attorney
General Earle that the only charge he
had against the present administration
was in the Legislature refusing to make
the reapportionment in 1884, and he
did not think that attorneys for corpor-
ations ought to be members of the
Legislature.
The reapportionment ofthe members
in the Legislature ought to have been
made as the constitution directs, but
that is not an iSSue now. The Legisla-
ture since that time has decided to
adopt the United States census which
will be taken this year, and the reap
portionment can he made by the next
Legislature.
Mr.. Nllnlan claims to be an expo
nent of i principle, Il candidate on
what he terms reform platform. and
it seems to us that the thing to do is to
show the farmers where and how their
taxes can he reduced, and how his
election can bring about such results.
There are reported to have been
about 1000 people at the Anderson
meeting, and all accounts agree that
Mr.. Tillman had 4 decided majority of
those present.
Every thing passed off pleasantly.
