trade paradox. Absurd but
true. 1t affects several sorts
of choice staple goods, such as
required by the best retail
trade, Products of leading
English and French mills,
principally Lupin's and Priest

The paradox is in the prices
which are thirty,fort and fifty
per cent. off. Peculiar that
this chance comes at the
height of most prosperous
season.
Here it is, however. An
other conquest of great trading.

To tho Editor Of the Evening journal.
Mr. EDITOR: Not little indignation
is felt here because only the pupils of
one division Of our public school will be
permitted to celebrate Columbus Day.
They are TO have sociable in the as
sembly roomY on Thursday evening, the
2lst. Each pupil in that division has
the privilege Of inviting friend. Should
they have no friends in the other divi
vions the rest of the school must remain
''Out in the cold Little children are
sensitive, aud those not having invita-
tions are already feeling pretty
badly. With all a childs longing
"they wish to be at the party
We cannot see why one fourth Of the
school should have a good time on a ma
tional holiday and the other three-fourths
be slighted. We advise the teachers
(hoping they viii pardon us) to either
allow the whole school to enjoy the fes
tivities or else dispense with the enter
tainment altogether. Only mother
can appreciate the wounded feelings of a
slighted child 1t is not the first time that
part Of the school have been allowed to
! have a jubilee and the balance ignored.
Heretofore we have been silent but we
feel to do so longer would be unjust tc
our children. JUSTICE.

Information Wanted About the Water

The Board of Managers of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, at its meeting II
Columbia on the 18th instant, assigned tc
me the duty of getting full information
as to the various water powers IN the
State. I, therefore, beg through you and
the press generally throughout the State
to call attention tc all who can give me
any information as to the estimated
horse water powers susceptible of utH'
cation, where situated, its proxim3
to a railroad and the price of land pei
acre for building purposes.
I ask the immediate attention to this
matter in order that the information
may be brought to the attention OF visit
ors attending the exposition, and, if pos
sible, as one of the several means of In
ducing capital to come to our State.
l believe it can be shown that South
Carolina is the peer of any State 4; the
Union in her natural advantages for
manufacturing purposes.

sistance in this matter. Truly,

THURSDAY, MARCH "a, 1892.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Enterprise and Mouataineer msconcelves
u position when it says that we 'as-
sumo too much in saying that any mar
represents the whole reform wing OF the
party. for this cannot be asceftalned
except by actual count. There are
many hundreds who favor retrenchmen'
and economy in our public affairs who do
not subscribe to the doctrine that a par
ticular man is necessary to their success
at this time or at any future ;ay.
Reforms do not hang upon the lives OF
ofice-seekers, but upon the majestic Will
of the people"
We have never vet subscribed ito
the doctrine that a particular man is
necessary" to the accomplishment OF
reform in our government, and neither
do we contend chat Tiliman is such q
necessity in the present extremity.
But some one must stand as an expo
nent of retrenchment and reform-such
an exponent is a necessity while 1t Is
a matter of minor importance who leads
the reform hoSJs. At present Til!man Is
the leader, and despite some personal
characteristics, which initiate against
him. his strength as such exponent Is
commensurate with that of the reform
wing of the party.
Had we the power to choose a leader,
we certainly would make a different
choice. for several reasons. But this
power is not ours, and if the people
again centre upon him as the standard
bearer of the reform movement, South
Carolina will have two more years OF
Tillman's reign. This being true, Ii
becomes necessary to elect a sound. safe
and conservative legislature reform
Legislature-but not a IiilutoR Legisla-
ture. 1t III be a sad day for South
Carolina should Tillman ever be given
a Legislature subservient to his autocra-
tic will. But the good sense OF the peo-
pie. whose majestic will" is supreme,
will never permit the SubverSion OF the
Legislature to the Executive Department.
nor the subsection OF the Judicial TO the
Executive. We have an abiding faith
in she honesty and sovereignty OF the
people. One may fool some of the peo-
pie sometimes, but no Il can fool all
the people all the time. The people OF
South Carolina will never be deceived
into electing q Legislature willing
to grant any Governor all the auto
cratic power which Tillman asked at
the HANDS of the last Legislature. II so,
it would be a virtual submission to the
rule of one man: and this we shall never
see among people so welded as we to
self-goverEment. SO long as we have
capable and conservative Legislators. no
Goyernor can do much harm. By con-
fning the Executive to his legitimate
sphere. the old ship of State will sail
safely on, whether Tillman or AMI be at
the helm.

One of our exchanges concludes, after
studying the census. that probably nc
one who has not obtained information
on the subject could make a reasonable
guess at the number of places in the
United States containing one thousand
or more inhabitants. The guesses by the
uniformed are usually from 10000 tc
5000, but the United -ates census dis
closes only 3,715. Moreover, there are
only 1852 that have a population exceed.
ing 1900. At the other end of the line
the returns are no less remarkable, FOL
there are only seven cities with a popu-
lation exceeding 100000. There is
abundant room for growth in these
cities and towns, but the places with
1000 or more population already contain
Al per cent of the total population OF
the United States. The larger cities, 1t
appears from the returns, are growing
o rapidly than the country at large.
Thus il 1896 there were 2s6 places hav.
ing 5000 inhabitants or more, the COM
bined population Of such places being
% per cent of the whole. In 1890 there
were AS such places, containing 20 pei
cent of the whole population.

a Primary for State Offices.

As there is SO much said and written
about a primary FOR State Offices we
take this occasion TO explain the working
OF the party law as it NOW stands: The

gu. Each voter will vote Tor Delegates
to the State Convention. Congressman,
Solicitor, State Senator. Representatives.
and County Officers, including Master
and Trial Justices.
Oconee County viii send six delegates
to the state Convention, which will con
vene IN September for the nomination o
State Officers. These delegates will be
elected in the primary election. instead
of by the County Convention. as hereto
fore. This differs from what is called a
straight primary in that the people vote
for delegates | the State Nominating
Convention, and not directly for Governor
and other State officers.
The privilege of voting directly fol
Governo~ is ~Seoanded by those who are
opposed Z. Tillman and his meth, is.
But the o,stitution of the Democratic
parry provides for the election of dele
gates by primary, and it further provides
that no amendment can be made in this
organic law except by the State Nomi-
mating Convention, under the law and the
terms of the call. The approaching May
Convention cannot so amend the constl-
tuition as to provide for a straight OF
direct primary for State officers, how
ever desirable it might be to both wings
of the Democracy.
Every member of a subordinate Club
or voter in the primary is required to
pledge himself to abide the result of the
primary and to support the nominees OF
the party. Esch voter at the primary
election shall take the following oath:

qualified to vote at this election, accord

Rev. Charles r. Willeford, OF Union
county, has been excluded from the Bap-
list church at Santuc and deposed from
the ministry, on account OF his confession
to the church that he had used the name
of another illegally in a business trans
action. He insisted that the forgery of
the endorser's name was not done by
himself, but he received the benefits OF
the transaction. Mr.. Willefcrd has left
the State, and writes back that he is
gone forever. He made several drafts
upon banks in Laurens n Clinton,
which were spurious and not honored,
and when he reached Atlanta he gave a
check on Laurens endorsed by Rev. r.
A. Sublett. formerly of this State, which
was not paid at Laurens, and Mr.. Sub
lett loses S25 on this account. Mr..
Willeford was in good repute until the
forgery was discovered a few weeks ago,
and it is supposed by friends that his
mind is off its balance.

In the February number of Nature

In the February number of Nature
Notes, Mr.. Robert Morley vouches for
the accuracy of a story which seems to
indicate the possibility Of very tender
feeling in monkeys. A friend of Mr..
Morley's, a native Of India, was sitting
in his garden, when a loud chattering
announced the arrival of a large party
Of monkeys, who forthwith proceeded
to make a meal off his fruits. Fearing
the loss of his entire crop, he fetched his
fowling-piece, and, to frighten them
away, fred it off, as he thought, over
the heads of the chattering crew. They
all fed away, but he noticed, left behind
upon a bough, what looked like one
fallen asleep with its head resting upon
its arms. AS it did not move, he sent a
servant up the tree, who found that it
was quite dead, having been shot through
the heart. He had it fetched down and
buried beneath the tree; and on the NOR
row he saw, sitting upon the little mound,
the mate of the dead monkey. It re-
NAMED there for several days bewailinS
it's loss.
