Mrs. Johnston was the daughter of
Colonel Henry Bowyer, of Revolutionary

on her maternal side. and in grace and
dignity Of character she was in every
way worthy of her lineage. Mr.. r. Henry

descendants. She will be buried to-day

solcitude throughout this community.
For the past two weeks her condition has
remained without any apparent change,
and her life yet seems suspended by a
thread. The wide interest felt in her
condition is an evidence of her great popu-
larity, and that she may be spared to her
family and friends is the universal wish.

The Rates To Augusta.

report f,,l1N5 from Columbia that ff The e
roads in South Carolina oppose
the one cent rate on Tuesdays and
Thursdays granted the Augusta
Exposition and Georgia State Fair
are not altogether correct. The
Port Royal and Augusta and the
Port Royal and Western Carolina
roads declare their intention Of
giving the low rate. All the other
roads in the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association have
thoroughly advertised the rate,
and only two or three roads in
South Carolina are opposing it..
A meeting Of the merchants of
Augusta has been called at the
Exchange at noon tomorrow to
denounce the action of the roads
in South Carolina, and there is
even talk among the most in
dignant of a boycott of these roads.
People dsclare that the Augusta
Exposition 4and Georgia Fair is of
interstate importan ce whereas the
South Carolina fair was confined
to that State.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was meyer time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was SO
great as now. The conveniences OF
mankind in tie factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual ac-
cesslons to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The politica
change in the administration of the
e vernment does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, WI being
on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
inga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
paw" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys

A brainy citizen of our county,
discussing in our Office recently
the cause of the republican VIC
tories in New York, New Jersey,
Ohio, Iowa, etc., remarked that he
believed that the wild
vagaries IN financial matters,
set up by the populists and others
aud the apprehension that the
democratic party was disposed to
hearken too much to there vagaries,
had caused many of the thought
full members of the democracy to
either vote the republican ticket
or remain away from the polls on
election day. This view of matters
struck us with good deal of force.
This citizen, while he favors silver,
thinks that State banks of issue
will give the speediest and safest
and most satisfactory relief.

At the election for State officers
in New Jersey, Ohio, New York,
Massachusetts,, and Iowa last week
these hitherto democratic States
were captured for the republicans
by large majorities. Virginia and
Kentucky remain in the demo-
cratic party. Various reasons are
assigned for these overwhelming
republican victories, but whatever
the cause, or causes, it is safe to
say that this Waterloo is due to
the fact that the democratic party
is in power, controlling both
branches of the national legisla-
ture and the executive, and has
done nothing for the relief of the
country. 1t may come yet, how
ever. The regular session of Con-
gress, which conYenes in December
may shake things up. President
Cleveland is working hard at his
message, and his friends assert that
in this message he VIII stick close
to the Chicago platform, will re-
commend some measure for the
coinage Of silver, and also an ex-
pansion of the currency, probably
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax
on State banks.
We confess that we do not have
much hope along these lines, but
we are willing to give the Presi-
dent the benefit of all the doubts
in the case, especially as we cannot
do any better.

Congress meets again on the first
Monday in December, and if
democracy expects to remain in
the ascendant some heed must be
given to the just demands of the
people. Of course there are great
many ridiculous schemes for relief
that have been presented and
advocated and many more will be
no doubt, but this does not dis
count the fact that relief is needed
and must be given or next year all
the old landmarks of democracy
may be swept away.

HAD HIM DOWN WRONG.

The following Interview with
Senator Irby in the Piedmont
Headlight puts him all right on
tho tariff reform question. We
were under the impression that he
had announced that he would
oppose tariff reform in the next
congress. We are glad to be able
to set him right:
"I see that the Anti papers
ch arge you with refusing to vote
for tariff reform, in the event that
the Sherman bill was uncon-
ditionally repealed" was our first
conundrum.
$50 I have noticed" replied the
Senator with a smile; "and I only
more rope when 1 would begin to
wind them in. Ifyou will read my
speech before the Senate carefully
and understandingly, you will see
that I made no such assertion. In
fact, next to the financial issue
I consider reform of our iniqui-
tows tariff system one of the cry
ing demands of the day, and will
do all in my power to get the peo-
pie relief from such oppressive
burthens. But what I did say was
this: That I would vote against
any so called tariff bill framed by
an unholy alliance between Wall
street Demo Gratis and John Sher-
man and his Republicans, In other
words, I am q platform Democrat,
and believe in carrying out every
pledge made to the people at
Chicago, but I don't intend to give
my aid and countenance to any
tariff bill that is offspring ofan
combination between the Admins
tration and his Republican allies. I
believe in tariff for revenue only
which issue carried the country for
our party last year; but when I
saw the President we had elected
and afiliating with
the blacklist republicans, and
preventing Democrats from going
into a party caucus OIL the most
important pledge in our platform,
financial relief for the country, as
a loyal Democrat I was outraged
and indignant, and felt it a duty
that I owed both my people and
party to denounce upon tho floor
Of Congress seat affiliation, and
declare my purpose not to lend my
vote to carry out any trade that
such an amalgamatlon might
make. When the tariff bill comes
up, and it carries out in good faith
he pledges made in our plat |
:orm, I shall give that bill my |
leart support. But if, on the
,ther hand, it proves a miserable
and evasion, framed
With the conivance of of Sher-
nan, and is only blind to de-
eive the people, then I shall
AIRY out the declaration I made
lpon the floor of the Senate and
efuse to be bound by it. And
hose Wall street Democrats cant's
omplain of this, either, for did
hey not refuse to go into a party
aucus on the silver bill, which
vas of even more vital Importance
o the posperity of the country
han this silver bill? No. I'm a
ariff reformer to the core, hut l
Iemand the genuine article and

ose to stand, and I believe that
ny people will endorse me-" I
