extending the time for collecting the State

A fast passenger train on the South Car
olina railway was wrecked last Saturday
night between Summerville and Charleston.
The train was crowded, and the engine and
train were badly damaged by the run-of,
but only one person was killed, and no one
seriously hurt. The wreck is supposed to
have been caused by the removal Of rail,
and the Receiver has offered reward of
$500 for the apprehension Of the wretch who
did it, with proof to convict.
The Legislature has bill before it pro-
viding an excellent substitute for the pres
ent Office Of county commissioners. 1t pro-
yidas for one supervisor to attend to the Of
fee duties, such as approving claims, issu-

is in session in Darlington. All the travel
ing Methodist preachers IN this State are

gates, and number Of visiting members.
In sn there are more than three hundred
delegates to this conference, and there is al
ways g full attendance. Mr.. j. W. Mcleod
is the lay delegate from this county. He

The Legislature has before it bill for
compelling the holders of notes. mortgages,
and other evidences of Indebtedness, to re-
tarn the same for taxation, and in case they
do not make proper returns and have the
same stamped by the auditor, then such in
debtedness to be null and void and not col
lectable in any court of justice. Such bill
win hardly become law, and if it does,
the Supreme Court would declare it uncon-
stit1tonal. Some other means must be
tried to get these old bloated bondholders
TO pay their share of the taxes.

THE "Indian Ring" at Washington and their admirers and Indian lovers all over the east are having their own way and doing as they wish. Gen. Miles is ordered to light, but to 'avoid bloodshed." Fight but not to kill anybody. In the Pine Ridge fight 85 soldiers and officers fell a sacrifice to the "namby pamby" incompetent policy of the Indian management at Washington while only l50 Indians bit the dust. The Indian told tEe truth when he said If white men and only two Indians killed, and laughed with reason. The policy of the "In- diar Ring" which has been a curse to the Government for the last 30 years at least is, if. a soldier kills an Indian, court-martial him. If an officer al- lows his soldiers to kill one of the red fends, dismiss him from the service. Feed the Indians, arm them well, let them murder a few hundred men women and children in cold and in nocent blood, but do not hurt the "poor Indian" Send out lot of old broken winded, knock-kneed, con- sumptive, broken-down politicians as agents, and few old leeches on the public teat, as Indian inspectors, with now and then some old maiden with false teeth, who wants to find a husband, but who comes to write up the Indian question, and this seems to be the end of the brains of those who are supposed to manage Indian affairs at the capitol of the nation. Blame Gen. Miles, or the brave men with him. Never, no, never. If they had their way and were left to settle the Indian questions, it would be settled now and forever.

RIGHT again is the Prescott Journal Miner, when it advances the idea that the newspaper is the power, the grand
 Commissioner of immigration, to in duce people to migrate to, and settle
 up anew country. Suppose that one
 half of the $l0,000 wasted in Arizona the past two years, in doing nothing for the cause of immigration, had been spent in sending the weeklies published in the territory, to different parties in the east, what would have been the result? Hundreds of fam flies would have come here and set tied. As it IS, the pamphlets issued, as rule are looked upon as mere ad- vertising dodgers got up to "bilk'' their readers, while the newspaper, week after week, with fact after fact, nails the truth to the mast where the young men. the farmers, the laborers, the bone, sinew and brains of the east cannot fail to see it and can never obliterate the facts stated from their memories. In the snow, cold, ice and freezing storms of their localities, they read over and over, again and again, in December, January, February and March, of oranges, lemons, figs and other fruits on the trees and first they think, q wish I was there" then they say it, then they start and come out here and find that what was said is true. "Who wants to live in the ice" they say, "when one can go where it IS perpetual summer? The news paper has converted them and they act accordingly.

TIE Salt River Valley is attractil

TIE Salt River Valley is attracting general attention. Its progress Is marvellous. It deserves to be. Its farmers are in dead earnest, doing their best and meeting with great sue cess. The fact that Tempe has sent even two car loads of raislns to the east and Phoenix Is sending 200 car loads of hay and grain into California speaks volumes for itself, and is bet ter evidence of the prosperity of the valley than anything thas can be said or written as mere theory. What Arizona needs are these practical proofs of what has, and can 6e done.
 The Phoenix Herald says: 'It is estimated that the Improvement Compz1.g orange orchard, at Ari- zona Falls, will yield 400 boxes cf oranges. No more were permitted IS it is only the orchards second season Next win.er. heinz the orchards third yea, :r9p of } 100 boxes is au'iei- pated. 1t such rate returns are not so lqng delayed, after all, as Cali fornia experts would have us beli"vr'1 '

THERE is. not a word of truth in the report that G. W. Langs cattle drive of 1000 head across the Colo rado valley to Los Angeles was a failure. The facts are these. MT. L. made a proposition to the $. P. R. R. Co, to take his cattle to Los Angeles by raii. It was rejected. When MT. Lang reached Gila Bend the railroad company came to his terms and he then shipped them on the cars.

In Which Was Depicted the Very Acme Of
Human Misery.
A negro had gone to sleep in the sun
on the platform of railroad station in
South Carolina, and some of the boys
put up a job to have some fun with
him. A bag of shelled corn was laid
across his knees, second on his stom-
ach and third on his head. AS the
weight didn't waken him another bag
was placed on his stomach, making
about $40 pounds resting there. He
snored away for three minutes, grew
uneasy, began to mutter and at the end
of five threw the sacks off, sat up and
looked around in dazed way.
Anything wrong, Rube?" asked one
of the jokers.

Dun's Weekly Review Shows a More Hope
full Feeling Bright Crop Prospects.
New YORK, March 21.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
There is found in almost all quarters 4
feeling of confidence, of hope and hope
fulness as to the future. Though the
present effect of short crops is felt in
the northwest, the prospect for the
coming season is exceptionally bright,
and while in some of the chief manu-
features operations are checked by I'M
certainty regarding prices, it may be
expected that the relations be-
tween materials and finished prod
ucts will soon be adjusted to the
new conditions. The dress goods
makers have closed the most prosperous
season known and hope for better
prices presently. In knitting goods
there is some complaint that they are
carrying too large stocks and that mar
gins for profit are close, but great
many orders are still received. The ex-
pansion and diversifcation of the man
ufacture leaves for foreign supply only
the finer grades of worsted that are
not made here, and even in mems
wOolens there is seen some improve
ment. though the demand looks to
styles rather than quality. The boot
and shoe business is retarded
by speculation in hides and leather,
as prices of goods are no higher than a
year ago, but while buyers are cautious
they are numerous, yet the shops are
fairly supplied with orders
