The Country and the Towns.

There is no Disgusting the fact that
there is deep-seated antagonism exist
ing between the residents of our towns
and cities and those Of our people who
live in the country and till the fields.
Such animosity is unnatural and un-
reasonable. and it is the duty of every
Just and peace-loving citizen to do all
and everything in his power to restore
mutual confidence and bring our people
nearer together. 1t matters not whether
o man resides in an incorporated place
or inhabits the rural districts, there
should be no conflict in their feelings or
interests. We are all of the same race
and the same blood, and at the next
turn of the wheelo fortune our locali-
ties may be reversed. And again, our
interests are identical-there is mutual
dependence one upon the other-and
when the country prospers the towns
prosper, and vice Versd. Our land is
too broad and our resources too diversi-
fed and numerous for the arraignment of
class against class or section against
section. A kind providence has given
us land where we can all live in pros
perity and harmony, without one citizen
depressing or intruding upon the rights
and domains of another. The farmer has
his fields, the townsman his streets and
the varied businesses Of commercial
centre, and the capitalists our wild waters
to;subdue and render subservient to man,
railways to construct, and unfold mineral
wealth to wrest from the bosom Of old
mother earth.-C0lssmbiG Register.

An astonishing feature of the Column
bian Exposition will he one of the palaces
grouped in the heart of the fair grounds.
It is the Manufacturers Building, design
ell by Mr.. George Post, Of New York. 1t
will bear the same relation to this Expo
sition as the Eiffel Tower did TO that OF
Paris in 1889; and, indeed, its possible
use IS vantage-point from which to see
the fair grounds has terminated in the
negative the discussion for and against
the construction in Chicago OF rival to
the great tower of Paris. This greatest
of all the Exposition buildings, and of
the buildings of the world, viii; present
to Lake Michigan facade of such a
length as to suggest the wall of a city, yet
it is so admirably designed, so light and
graceful in its effects upon the vision,
that its true extent can only be compre-
hended when its dimensions are express
ed In figures and by comparisons. 1t il
one-third of mile long, and to compass
it round about is to walk mile. The roof
of it is 1858 by 7ss feet, and the span of
the dome, the largest ever attempted,
is 3sS feet. The roof is 230 feet from the
ground and the building has 40 acres Of
ground floor. Two of the vast machinery
halls of the Paris Exposition could be
wheeled through it, and the Auditorium,
the building of which Chicago is most
proud, could be pushed under this great
roof, tower and all.

SAM JONES OPINION.

Rev. Sam P. Jones, in letter TO the
Atlanta Journal, in speaking Of the Alli-
ance, Third Party, ETC., says:
If our farmers will let tho Democrats
and Republicans run politics, and they
run their plantations, they will raise
"more hay and less help in the South.
The farmers are good mon. Many Of
them will get to heaven, but few of them
will ever get to Washington, and really
that is not on the way to heaven, nnhow.
That St. Louis Convention few days
ago reminded me much Of the colored
Republican Convention in Georgia most
all mouth and tail.
I like Tom Watson and Moses. Tom 10
considered cranky, but honest. Moses is
bright and capable. But good by Lon tS
Co. The Alliance and the Democratic
parties will both turn the business end OF
mule towards them in the fall, and help
them over the fence and back into pri-
vate life, where they belong.
This pig and puppy business won't go
long in Georgia. Already the beginning
of the end is at hand.

Railroads Run at a Loss.

Not until now does the tremendous de
preston in money matters in this State at
the opening Of the new year show itself
In all its bad reality. 1t has boen gene
raj statement heretofore that the country
was in a very bad way, but now the bus
mess of the railroads shows the real state
of affairs, and there is no better indica-
tions Of the condition OF the communl-
ty. c po.,.os
Commission, has just about completed the
preparation of the monthly comparative
statement of the earnings of the roads
doing business in South Carolina, and the
result is astonishing. He has received the
reports of their earnings for the month OF
January from all the roads but six. The
net earnings of these alone when compar-
ed with those Of the same month last year
show the enormous decrease this year OF
over a225,OOO. The Richmond s. Dauville
system alone bears about Sl30, 900 of this
decrease. Mr.. Bartlett says at least three
OF the largest roads are yet to be heard
from and he believes that the total de-
crease will amount to not less than $685.
600 or more.
Ms wonder the roads were forced to
suspend employees and almost stop the
running of their shops altogether. Busi.
iness with them was at a perfect standstll
for nearly the entire month.
Mr.. Bartlett says that in the lass nine
years there has never been showing
to compare with this. 1t is the worst that
the roads have ever met in South Caroli-
na.-Cotum6i1 State, March 8.

Keep an eye OIL Blaine.

The New York Worlds Washington
correspondent says: There is O move
ment on foot looking to the nomination
of Mr.. Blaine at Minneapolis, despite
the letter he as written. Some Of the
most prominent Republicans ofthe coun-
try are enlisted iu it, and the correspon-
dence on the subject shows that the de-
sire for Mr.. Blaine's leadership is still
widespread in the purity. There is the
highest authority for saying that Mr..
Blaine is well aware of The existence Of
this feeling among his old supporters.
Last week one of the most influential
and experienced Of the Repu blican Sena-
tors called on Mr.. Blaine, and told him
frankly that the party ought to nominate
him at Minneapolis. Mr.. Blaine made
no reply, but treated his visitor cordially
and pressed him to como again. He de-
clared during the conversation that his
physical condition was much improv-
ed.
The correspondent adds this: There
is an explanation given here of the Sec
retary's letter in defence of his family
and tho recent divorce proceedings which
shows that it may be put to political use:
The Blaine men say that the idea had
obtained wide circulation that the real
objection to Miss Nevins was that she
was Catholic. This story, the Blaine
men declare, has been disproven by Mr..
Blaine's statement Of the case, which
shows that his regret over the marriage
was founded upon the extreme youth of
his son, and the separation grew out of
the extravaganza of the young couple
and their failure to agree.

Hampton is for Harmony.
Columbia State.

"A week ago the Editor of the iStGte re-
ceived from ex-senator Hampton, then at
his Mississippi plantation, personal let-
ter on the political situation, which COM
PEELED the belief that If the views of this
most honored of South Carolinians could
be given to the public they would do
much to remove the barriers which had
been unwisely placed between the
straightouts, and other Democrats oppos-
ed to the present State Administration,
Gen. Hampton was therefore urged to
make q statement for publication, cover
ing the points touched upon in his letter.
Before receiving the request, however, he
had anticipated It by writing the following
letter for publication. 1t is unlimited
with great pleasure as q contribution to
the harmony and. union of the patriotic
Democrats of South Carolina.

Cut His Throat In Court.

CHARLESTON, 8. c., March 3.-An 'un-
usual and dramatic incident occurred In
the Court of Sessions to-day. Sam Ran
dali, q negro who had been tried for three
times for criminally assaulting negro
girl named Clemida Ressy and had es-
capped thrice by mistrials, was to-day
conyicted of aggravated assault. A wo-
man who was Jointly indicted with Ran
dali for the assault had her case not p1oSs-
ed. After conviction Randall was told to
stand up and received sentence, which
the Court fixed at one year In the peni-
tentiary.
While the Judge was then speaking,
Randall leaned down, whipped knife
out of his shoe and deliberately cut his
throat in the presence of the Court, and
officers and spectators. 1t was broad
cash, extending from ear to ear, but Q
couple of bailiffs grabbed him, and
prompt surgical aid was secured, which
may save his life. Randall, who is no
torious criminal, said his reason for at
tempting suicide was because hs was
disgraced by the sentence. The knife
which he used was made of bit Of iron
taken from his shoe and sharpened. 1t
was concealed in the lining of his shoe.

A Drunkard'S Prayer.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Over in White
stone, L. l., series of revival meetings
is in progress in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Last Tuesday night Excise
Commissioner R. J. Spitz, a well known
citizen, attended the meeting. He does
not attend church often. and his presence
there was surprise. While the prayer
services were in progress Spitz astonish-
ed everybody by rising to his feet, with
bowed head and praying: 10 Lord, !
pray that you will cut off one and half
inches of my wife's tongue. Once I was
rich, once I was trustee of the village ;
now am ruined and drunkard, all by
her tongue. o Lord, cut it Off"
Mrs. Spitz, who was present, left the
Church in hurry. Later the pastor, the
Rev. E. WorrIner, asked all those who
wished to be prayed for to come forward.
Spitz accepted tie invitation, and led his
son and another boy toward the pulpit by
the ears. Spitz was then removed from
the Church. He spent the remainder Of
the evening in barroom, where be got
into quarrel and was severely dealt
