More Hogs Wanted.

The reports from the pork centers Of
the West show that the scarcity of hogs
and the high price of pork and lard may
be expected to continue. High prices
are drawing to the market class Of
animals that should have been kept three
months longer. The present supply is
taken froms the future, and still the
shortage is seriously felt. During the
past week the receipts of hogs have been
60 per cent of the number received year
ago. They are of lighter weight and the
product is little more than half of what
it was last year. They advanced consid-
erably last week, and the best sold at
S7.7? per hundred pounds against s4.3O
a year ago. Pork advanced in the
Western cities Is cents a barrel, lard IS
cents hundred and ribs so cents hun
dred during the week. With these facts
before then, our Southern farmers should
require no urging to induce them to
increase their hog product. High prices
will prevail for some time to come, and
every additional hog in the South is
another step towards independence, self
support and comfort: We are abun-
dainty supplied with home-raised corn
and there is no earthly reason why we
should not raise all the hogs we need

The Port Royal and Western Carolina
Railroad Pays its Taxes.

CHARLESTON, ). C., January 30. There
was funny scene in the United States
Court to- day. Sheriff Nance, of Able
vile county, who last week seized train
on the Port Royal and Western Carolina
Railroad at Greenwood for taxes, had
been ruled for contempt in selling on
property which was in the hands of the
receiver. The suit was brought by Mr..
Ganahal. of Augusta, at the instance of
Receiver Conner of the Central Railroad
of Georgia To-day Sheriff Nance, at
tended by the Attorney General of the
State and Speaker Ira b. Jones, appeared
before Judge Simonton to answer the
rule Before an answer could be put in,
however. the plaintiffs moved to dismiss
the whole case. offering to pay up all
taxes and costs, and this was agreed to.
Il turned out that the whole suit was a
big bluff-that the railroad only resorted
TO it to gain time to raise the money,
having done which the case was dis
missed. The Sheriff of Abbeville: the
Attorney General. the Speaker of the
House and the counsel for the receiver
left here tonight for Columbia where a
settlement will be made.

Sinking of Lakes.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. January 29.-The in
habitantS OF that part of West Tennessee,
known as the earthquake belt" are
considerably exercised over the gradual
sinking Of the lakes formed by the earth
quake of ISL. The water '.vel is de
scending without any apparent cause,
although the streams that empty into
some OF the lakes are not affected. This
is taken aS evidence that the soil at the
bottom OF tlrcse sheets of water is hecom-
ing sealny. from seismic action beneath,
thus allowing the water 10 escape into
unknown basins below. Tha effects OF
the unexplained phenomenon are most
apparent in stone Lake. a beautiful body
OF water situated II Lauderdale county.
The lake IS about mile long and hall a
mile vide. aid has an average depth OF
twenty feet, but So clear IS it thai the
smallest Objects can be seen on the bot
tom. a more inviting place tor the an
gler could not be found anywhere, biir,

that recon are alive with fish, 40 living
thing has ever been seen in Stone Lake,
and the people OF the vicinity contend
that the water is certain death 10 any
creature that drinks it. The wild fowls
avoid 1t. though they swarm in the ad-
joining ponds and bayous. Another
peculiarly of the uncanny water is that
anything east into it quickly petriteS;
hence the name it bears. And thereby
hangs a tale, which. incredible though it
may sound. is, nevertheless. devoutly
believed by the simple inhabitants of the
locality. 1t goes back to seventy years
ago. when the country was first settled
by emisrants from North Carolina.

Discussing the Situation.

Washington correspondent Atlanta
Co1tStHation. January %: Mr.. Carlisle
went over to Lakewood yesterday to see
Mr. Cleveland. He carried with him the
report of Secretary Foster to the Ways
and Means Committee as to the condi-
ton of the Treasury. Mr. Carlisle does
not I'eiieve there is anything alarming in
the present financial condition of the
government and he does not consider
that an extra session Will be necessary.
OF course this Congress will be forced to
make some large appropriations, but as
il is appropriated for from June, 1885,, to
June l>:4, the appropriations made by
this Congress will not begin to affect the
Treasury until next June. While there
is but little money in the Treasury now
it is believed by proper management a
deficiency may be avoided. The expen-
dit'res for the past month were 5000
600 less than the receipts. Mr.. Carlisle
and Mr. Cleveland will also discuss the
prospects of the present Congress repeal
ing the sherman silver law. Mr.. Cleve-
land is very anxious that this Congress
should repeal this law. However, as
the silver Senators announce their de
termination to filibuster in the event that
ii is attempted to push such a measure
through the Senate. the chances are de-
cidedly against any silver legislation. In
the House the bill will be considered on
the 9Th and 10th of February. The Com
mittee on Rules viii bring in special
order fixing these days for the considera-
ton OF the Andrew bill When this reso-
luton is reported to the House Mr..
Bacon, of New York, Chairman of the
Committee on Banking and Currency,
will probably move cloture amendment
and in she event that a majority of the
House favor the bill vote can be had
and it can pass Resorting to cloture is
the only way the bill can get through the
House. as the free coinage men will fill
buster if possible. Under the Senate
rules no cloture can be applied and the
silver men of that body are quite certain
to prevent its passage

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 29.--J. H..
Clamp, thriving farmer was killed in
ambush last night and from the .meagre
evidence there isstrong reason to believe
that his wife and man who has been
living at Clamps house are at the bottom
of it. Clamp left Ridgeway last night
and was found this morning about a half
mile from his house in thichet with
half his head blown off and his brains
scattered on the other side of the road.
The assassin's tracl,s were traced to
Clamps yard and John Atkinson, white
man who had been living with Clamp for
the lasa year, was arrested. The gun
found beside the murdered man proved
to be his own, giving color to the belief
that Atkinson committed the deed.
There is strong evidence showing that
Mrs. Clamp was accessory to the deed
and she has been placed under bond.
Jasper Atkinson, an ex-convict, has
also been arrested as being one OF those
who shot Clamp. When Clamp was
shot his little son was riding few feet
ahead of him. At the report of the gun
the animal SHE'D and the boy was thrown
and had his arm broken.

The King Of Carolina.
Savannah Morning News, January ?

Savannah Morning News, January &c.
Years ago, when South Carolina went
out of the Union, and for weeks was
alone in the secession movement, she
was hailed as s'The Republic of South
Carolina" She was glorious common
wealth then. She is an unconstitutional
monarchy now, and has king. and his
name is Tillman. During the recent
session of the Legislature, King Till
man named the bills that should be
passed and those that he defeated. His
orders were obeyed implicitly. He spoke
through his lieutenants, who occupied
places on the floor of the House, and his
followers were as cbedient as are the sol
diers of well disciplined army. There
were few Carolinians of the old school
in the Legislature, and they, of course,
refused to pay any attention to orders
emanating from the Office of the Execu-
tive. They were sat upon emphatically
and made to realize how powerless they
were.
1t is alleged that when committees
refused to report bills in accordance with
King Tillman's wishes they were so re-
constructed that they readily complied
with his wishes. The rule Of King Till
man will eventually prove as disastrous
to the people of South Carolina as was
that of the blacks and carpet-baggers.
If change does not soon take place the
State Will again pass into the control of
the blacks. there to remain until another
generation shall have suffered for the
sins of their fathers.

They returned later and induced the
Queen to postpone her coup. One Of
the commissioners is reported as saying:
The object Of our visit to Washington

The editor of the Savannah Mo,nin!
Ne,1s insults the people Of South Carolin;
by saying that this State is "constitll
tional monarchy and "has king, anc
his ,ame is Tillman" This cannot b,
taken as the calm and unbiased judgmen
of an impartial looker-ons-a sindent O
men and events living in another State
for the man who pcnned those lines is f:
son of South Carolina and lived in this
State during the bitter excitement and
strife of the time when the people
assumed the reins of government, which
their own Indifference had allowed to
remain long in the hands of few. It's
strange language for a Carolinian to use,
strange as when son impugns the honor
of his mother.
The accusation is doubly false, for
never did this State enjoy Il freer and
more liberal government than at present.
The people now rule; and by the people
we mean the majority of the qualified
electors of the State. There are some
men who will never get used to this
altered state of affairs. but that does not
matter; it is nevertheless fact, and we
hope and trust the day will never cone
when it will be any less a fact.
1t is deliberate insult to the patriot
ism and intelligence of South Carolinians
for any man to say that they, whose
ancestors fought so gallantly to free the
st; te from the rule of the tyrant George,
are now governed by a king. The pco-
pie of this State are too brave and too
deeply imbued with the lcve of liberty to
ever acknowledge any n.;tn as their mas
ter. Tillman is no. :.ihc:: king, but their
servant, and his power depends upon
the faithfulness of his service. Did he
dare play the people false he would he

James Gillespie Blaine.

A great American has fallen in The
death of James g. Blaine, which occurred
at his home in Washington last Frida.
morning at eleven o'clock. After lons
and painful illness his death was quiet
and peaceful He retained consciousness
until few minutes before final dissolu-
ton Wanting only five days of being
sixty-three years old, during the latter
half of his life he has been recognized as
one of the leading spirits of the Repub-
lican party.
But he was not sectional nor partisan;
he was too broad-minded and liberal for
such small aud ignoble measures. An
American citizen in the truest sense. he
recognized that the section North of
Masons and Dixon's line WIS hot the
whole country.
Many clements of greatness entered
into his character. lie rose from com
parative obscurity by reason of intrinsic
merit and attained his high eminence by
his own genius and efforts. His superb
intellect. uitirin@ energy and profound
knowledge of human nature, made Inn
the great popular leader that he was.
he was tke brightest light IN the Hcpub-
ottparty and TIE faircSt expo ont of
,epubican doctrine in these latter days
Many positions Of public trust and
honor have been filed by him, ana it
has been said that his greatness pre-
vented him from occapying sill higher
positions; that like Clay, Calhoun ana
Webster. he was TOO great to be Presi-
dent" Certain it IS, that many men of
much inferior parts have been President.
And just here 1t was that Nj. Blame met
with the greatest disappointment OF his
hfe His hearts desire was to be PrcSi-
dent OF these United States. And he
seemed ever on the point Of attaining
the goal Of bis ambition. yet ii was his
fate to lie without reaching il. Some
trivial bunder or Sigh, accident come in
at the critical moment to thwart his sue
cess. While ii is natural for Democrats
to prefer Democrat for President yet
there was no man IN the Republican
party w.lom the whole American people
North, South, East and West. would
have preferred for President before Mr..
E}riae
But it has beer s.tTtl that he Iad faults
And 50 he did and 50 has every man.
Otherwise. he would not have been
human. Bat. we suspect, that lie had as
many or more noble virtues to counter
act his shortcomings than those who
seem to take especial delight in review
ing and critici>ing ',,he blcmiShcs on his
life
