Successful Experiments in Electro
Plating.

One day. about three years ago, a
silyer-plater named Downing took
fresh egg, and, after proper prepara-
t,sn, threw it into the silver bath and
turned on the battery. The result was
what appeared to be delicate work OF
art--a silver egg, which, under strong
glass, showed all the minute pores OF
the she'll. The egg was exhibited for
over year and not one person in a
hundred would believe that it was any
thing but a cunning specimen OF the
silyerSmith's art. To settle discus

Downing seized a sharp, heavy knife.
cut the silver egg in twain. aud it was
found to be as fresh and sweet as the
day it was electroplated. The egg had
been dramatically sealed. He then be-
gan a series of experiments in the line
of his trade, which were highly success

The Washington Post says the indus
trial development of the South during the
last ten or fifteen years has been the
most interesting feature of our national
growth. It may be doubted if, in any
age or country, its parallel has been wit
messed. The authentic statements of the
industrial growth Of that section, as they
have been published from year to year,
have attracted worldwide attention and
excited profound interest, an interest
not confined to business circles, but ex-
tending to all intelligent observers of
public events. Recognizing the univer.
salty ofthis feeling, the management of
Public Opinion has decided to offer prizes
of $50, $50 and 500 for the best three
essays on "The Industrial Future of the
South" Il is q great theme-so great
that only broad mind can comprehend
it; but, inasmucb as it has been fire.
quently and ably discussed in the press Of
all sections, and in many commercial
conventions, it is reasonable to suppose
that the invitation of Public Opinion will
call out a large number of valuable pa
pers, throwing new light on topic that
is becoming more and more attractive to
all citizens whose patriotism is not limi-
ted to any one part of our common coun.

sss The Atlanta Constitution says there is
sstill some talk about the force bill in
certain quarters. At the December ses-
ssion 1t will be possible for the Republi-
can majority in Congress to pass the
] Lodge bill, and perhaps even make ap-
preparations to secure its enforcement.
AL this is possible, but it is hardly
probable. The Republican Congressman
5aie now we'll satisfied that the people of
the country.do not demand such a meas.
ufe, and in fact:are opposed to it. With
the masses clamoring for peace, it is not
likely that their representatives will vote
for q bayonet election law. But, under
the circumstances, the placing of this
bill on the statute books would amount
to nothing. It would be dead letter.
With public opinion solidly against it,
and every prospect Of the election Of q
Democratic President in 1892, the at.
tempt to enforce bayonet control of the
ballot box would be failure. The
Lodge bill is dead. tmay be galvanized
into spasmodic action in December, but
.it will only stagger about for while and
sthen collapse. To all intents and pur-
poses the thing is dead.

IF all the reports from Berlin are true,
Professor Koch has discovered preven-
syentive and cure for consumption.
Naturally people will have their doubts,
for the news is apparently too good TO be
strne, but the fact that the German en-
speror has personally given the professor
$3.50, 900, and has recommended the ap.
preparation Of alarge sum of money to
ENABLE him to prosecute his experiments,
would ld,seem to make ittolerably certain
that the new discovery is all that is
claimed for it. There is reason to hope
that the remedy really destroys the bacil.
;lus of consumption. The effect will be
practically to abolish the disease, and
save millions of human lives every year.
.It.is hard to have complete faith in the.
professor until further developments, but
the progress Of medical science has ac-
scomplished so much that it would take
fa very bold man to fix its limits, and set
bounds to its advancement. Then the
factthat the German emperor gave Koch
81 quarter Of million dollars means
Something: He is not in the habit Of
throwing. away his cash. Money talks.

The merchants of Anderson are doing
all in their power TO draw trade to this
place, and thereby build up our city.
They have large stocks of goods, and
1 sell them at reasonable prices. No one
need leave Anderson with the complaint
that they cannot get the worth Of their
money in goods Of any kind. Competi.
stion is very sharp, and that brings prices
down to the lowest possible price. But
there are some who grumble and COM
plain at the very idea of buying goods
at any price. Still there are others who
always seem willing to give a fair price
for what they want to buy. Even the
most complaining can find what they
want here at reasonable prices. The
merchants also are paying the very top
.ofS the market for cotton, and are not in
anyway connected with the low price of
cotton just now. They can only pay for
sit, according to what they can get for it.
Others may say and think as they please,
but We shall stand up for our merchants
Sas honest, fair business men.

WHO SHALL BE OUR sENAroRs

MR. EDITOR: One of the most impor-
tant acts which the Legislature about to
assemble will be called upon to perform,
is the selection of United States Sena-
tor to succeed Governor Hampton. It is
important, with the view of obtaining q
competent representative-one who will
not ouly reflect credit on the State, but
one who will be some real service to the
people of the State and of the South.
A wise selection is important at this
time, because by that act the new Legis-
lature will demonstrate who they propose
to select for their officers, real representa-
tives of the interest of the people, or
mere party hacks or beat. out politicians.
They should select man of character,
frmness and ability-a man who knows
and will maintain the rights Of the peo-
plea conservative man, who will satisfy
all classes. Anderson County suggests
for that position James L. Orr, and many
beyond her borders believe that he fills
the bill, and that his selection will give
more general satisfaction than the selec-
tion of any other man in South Carroll
ma.
In 1874, when our County had been
in the hands of the Republicans for six
years, he, only % years old, did gallant
service for both the County and State,
and when the Mackey House had to be
captured by force, if necessary, he was
selected as chairman, and, at the head of
the column, with his own hands, forced
open the door, which was guarded by
twenty-five of the State constables, and
held it open until the whole Wallace
House went in. In the memorable SER
vice Of 1S76-77, he was conspicuous Tor
his energy and ability in setting the State
on her feet again. In the discharge Of
his duty as Solicitor he gave universal
satisfaction, being firm, Jealous, courte-
ous and able.
Though it was believed by many that
he could have made the strongest race
against Capt. TillmaD, he refused to OPP
pose the movement, and when the anti
Tillman conference was held in August,
it was his eloquence and influence that
contributed largely to the result.
He is not politician or Office seeker,
but if selected will serve the people more
faithfully than any man in the State.
