EXPLORATION OF ALASKA.

To the army more than to any
other single agent do we owe the
transformation of the "great Amer
lean desert" into the "great empire
of the west," says the Army and
Navy Register, and it is quite nat.
ural, therefore, that the army
should be looked to explore the
only part of our domain which re.
mains unknown and unexplored'
During the quarter of a century
that has passed since the purchase
of Alaska the government has done
nothing to ascertain what it had
acquired. The country seems a
bare. snow-covered and inhospit-
able Artic province, of value only
because of its fur trade. This i'm
preston has been proved untrue,
and we are beginning to realize
that unwittingly we had made a
very good bargain and got val
liable possession. The mineral,
lumber and fishing industries of
Alaska are taking rank as the rich
est in the world; and yet it is only
with the little strip of coast lying
to the southeast of Mount St. Elias
that we are as yet acquainted.
The territory is nearly as large as
all of the United States lying east
Of the Mississippi river and of the
resources and capabilities OF the
territory as a whole we know next
to nothing.
For these reasons the secretary
of war has approved a bill making
an appropriation to send an explor-
ing expedition into the interior of
Alaska, and has strongly indorsed
the measure in his annual report
The amount required is estimated
at 100000, and if the objects Of
the expedition can be accomplished
with this sum or several times as
much, it will be money we'll in
vested. The work is needed to be
done, and the wonder is that it has
not been done before this.

1t will be remembered that just
before election, some two months
ago, the New York importers were
sending circulars stating that their
prices would soon be raised from
10 to 25 per cent on account Of the
new tariff laws. Now they declare
that if they are compelled to with
draw their imports from the bond
ed warehouse in February, accord
ing to law, prices will go down to
ruinously low figures. Either they
lied in their circulars or they are
lying now. There has certainly
been big lying somewhere.

After the elegant holiday number OF
West Shore one would scarcely look for any
thing specially fine soon again, but that
splendid journal seems to have got its hand
in and intends to keep it going, for the last
number for 1890, just at hand, shows some
beautiful work. It also contains an an.
nouncement of the publisher that the paper
during the coming year will maintain this
high standard, which rivals the best work OF
any illustrated paper in the country. 1t is
the only genuine illustrated weekly in the
United States published outside of New
York city. Its subscribers will be given an
opportunity to compete for many valuable
prizes during the year. among which will be
a trip to the National Park of the Yellow
stone, particulars of which will be published
in few weeks.

THERE is no able thinker who
cannot readily perceive a slight
coloring of inconsistency in the
step the national farmers alliance
has taken looking towards the
forcing of the public press into har-
monious action with its cause.
That organization cannot afford in
this stage of its existence to resort
to such turgid means to accomplish
its desired ends. If as a party it
proves itself as worthy as it pur-
ports to be, and if it will not allow
itself to be controlled and man.
aged by disreputable campaign
sharks and designing politicians,
as have characterized every other
political organization, then it will
find plenty of willing support in
the press without bringing into use
the means it has adopted. But if
on the contrary, it will persist in
welding or boycotting the press, it
has encountered a cumbersome
and dangerous task, which if it is
not successful in conquering, can
but result in its own final destruc-
tion.-Oregon City Enterprise.

White Caps in Laurens.

NEwBERRY, S. c., August ga
party of fifteen or twenty white men
went to a negro house on the place of
Mr.. J. S. Blalock, of Goldville, Laurens
County, last night and took the negro
out and gave him very severe beating.
The negro saws they gave him about
100 stripes with double line, ard told
him if he did not leave the State this
morning they would kill them. They
also gave negro man on Mr.. Hirston's
place near by until Monday to leave,
or he would be dealt with in similar
manner.
The causes for this act of lawlessness
and violence are not known to the
State correspondent. I only know the
fact as stated above, and as told to me
by a gentleman who was in Newberry
to-day from Goldville. This gentle
man says that this sort of work has
been going on in this community for
several years. The negro who was Sc
badly beaten last night was in town
to-day also, and called the attention Of
Solicitor Schumpert to the facts in the
case, and the solicitor will very proba-
bly, take prompt action In the premises.

A Card from Hon. W. ID. Hardy.

When two newspapers on 30lh July
charged me with unfairuess towards
Senator Butler at the Prosperity meet
ing, [ determined not to notice the
charge. Senator Butler was our guest,
and felt that it might not be courteous
to reply. The Senator in an interview
published in the World last week reiter-
ates the charges that l promised that
Col. Talbert would not reply to his
speech at the Prosperity meeting. l
regret very much that the Senator
should have been under an: such i'm
preston for I certainly had no intention
OF conveying any such idea. Col. Tai
bert having been invited to deliver an
address and no subject assigned him, !
can't think it would have been courte-
Gus to him Jour guest to muZZle him.
The Senator did request the privilege
of replying to Col. Talbert should Col.
Talbett attack him, and the privilege
was cheerfu;ly accorded the Senator
and so informed Col. Talbert when
he reached the ground on the morning
ofthe speaking w. D. HARDY.

Nothing Succeeds

Like success. When Mr.. r. G. Will
liams first came TO Newberry. several
years ago, stranger in our midst, he
felt like the man that was '1eft alone
in Athens. He was moneyiess-con-
sequently frieEdiess. Knowing that
the world owed him q living, he went
to work. He was modest and began
on a small scale, making haste slowly
and surely. Being possessed Of energy,
activity and pluck, he moved along,
gathering as he went; not making a
big display, but living contentedly
within his means. AS result of his
sensible course, today finds him doing
g good business, having the confidence
of the public and winning customers
by his diligence in business and polite
attention to all. He has moved to his
new store, which he lately had built
and which has just been vacated by
Mrs. J. y. Godsey, on Main street,
where his customers and friends may
find him and his furniture and get
anything in his line from a fall rocker
to spring bed.

A Needed Improvement.

There is great need for improvement
in the condition of the streets and
sidewalks Of Newherry.
True the recent and continuous rains
have been the means Of putting them
in their present bad condition, but
judging by past experience there is not
much probability that they will be
much improved before the next rain.
The town is larger than it used to be
and there are more streets to work.
The crossings are nearly all impassa-
ble in ..ralny weather. Just how the
remedy is to be applied or what it is to
be we are not prepared to suggest, but
something is needed. No doubt MIR.
Jackson does the best he can or that
could be done with the means at his
disposal, but that fact does not alter
the condition to which we are direct
ing attention.
Better streets and sidewalks no
doubt would encourage many to give
more attention to the appearance of
yards and Improvements of resi-
dences.
But better streets and sidewalks is
getting TO be necessity.
