Farm Mortgages I'm the Soutb

We rejoice i'll the belief that neither

product, cotton, brings fair price, and
tho commercial and industrial world
must have it, else their own business
would go to stagnation and wreck Still
the unfortunate condition of other agri-
cultural interests should be n solemn ad-

Race prejudice is just as strong in
President Harrisom's State as it is in
South Carolina. There are 800 col

Some curious things are done by
the railroads for Charleston. Some
one who knows, ought to rise and cx-
plain why it is those railroads will
sell tickets to the Charleston people
that will keep all summer, so their
holders can have long stay in the
mountains, then in the winter, the
mountaincer cannot get ticket to
Charleston that will last over q week;
then it generally costs more for the

how much more glorious it is to tear

golden store that some thriftier hand

j. G.. GRIFFIN,

1t is great calamity to any com,

by disease in the prime of life. But
how much more terrible is that ca
lamity when the red-handed murder.

not only on his victim. He strikes

AN ErFORr TO LUhL rErE STORM

AN EFFORT TO LULL TKHE STOGsr.
The farmers of the Northwest, and
III fact, of every section almost, have
rushed into the thickest Of the fight
against the tariff iniquity. They
have discovered the hypocrisy of the
Republican party. The gauze was
too thin to longer hide its deformity.
Raising the duty on farm products,
which are not imported, and every
campaign, telling the farmer how he
was protected i'll this respect, has
been a miserable pieco of political
trickcry. When tho farmer informed
himself, he found this absolutely 10
advantage to him. His increased
demands arc met with still higher
import duty on grain and other farm
products, but the shrewdest politician
cannot get sufficient oil out of all this
hypocritical Legislation to calm the
troubled waters. CONSERVATION is
spreading in the republican camp like
wildtire. The storm centre is in In
diana. The party in power has to
make somo great concession to the
farmers, or it will surely be wrecked.
