in accepting the result as the choice of
the voters. The very large vote cast for

Brddstrcets reports that, in addition
to the 175,000 miners on strike, $4,000
industrial laborers have been rendered
idle within a week by scarcity of coal.
These and 5000 idle through strikes in
order lines make a total of nearly
100000 industrial workers idle on
account of strikes. Retail trade at many
centres has been interfered with by un.
favorable weather as well as by further
restriction of the purchasing power of
thousands Of wage earners, by further
industrial trouble and by shrinkage Of
production. The few exceptions where
improvement is noted are of practically
local importance. Prices, however,
show some advances, most strikingly in
cereals, oats having risen @ cents, wheat
3 5-s cents and corn IT; potatoes are 90
cents higher bushel at the west; bar
iron and pig iron are up sharply in St.
Louis, aud live stock at Kansas City.

The ideal village "dreamy and con-

something akin thereto still fingers on
the lower end of this Peninsula, accord
ing to the Onancock, Va. News. "a
number of our citizens" says that paper,
seemed very much worried that the
law providing for fine on wandering
cows and pigs in our streets should be
repealed. Of late, however, this oues-
ton has been asked; If it were not for
these kindly brutes how would pedes-
triaus see over the weeds between the
sidewalks and the middle of the streets =?
We leave the question for the consider
stion of the new Council, which will
assume its duties the first of next month,
and we trust they will devise some
means by which the weeds along our
streets will be kept down. They are not
healthful and they afford excellent har-
Dor for mosquitoes"

There is matter for qualification in the
news that the bituminous coal miners
and operators are beginning to get TO-
gether at last and that the strike is
about over in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana. This means the resumption of
work, not only in the mines, but in
many mills that have been obliged to
shut down for lack Of fuel, and the
averting Of imminent shut-downs in
many other industrial establishments
that were beginning to be sorely pressed.

Again We feel called on to remark
Notwithstanding Governor Flowers
veto of the Lexow committees appro-
priation. that committee is getting along
very we'll, thank you, in its work of in
vestigating the abuses and rottenness of
the New York police department. So
we'll, indeed, that the late Boss Croker
has thought it prudent to slip furtIvely,
under an assumed name, across the At
lantic, for an indefinite stay. Consider.
ing that his veto has only made things
worse for Tammany, Governor Flower
now probably wishes he had known the
old thing was loaded before he fired it
of. Delaware's governor has no legisla-
tive veto, but the present incumbent is
rapidly making a record-we think, an
unenviable one-for vetoing the work of
our criminal courts and juries. At this
distance his pardon of that malpractice
operator in Sussex, who was esteemed
lucky by many at the time in escaping
with his life, seems the least defensible
OF his recent rather numerous acts of
executive clemeucy.

Five Republican State conventions
have lately been held, says tho New
York Ecenita Post, and they have We'd
with each other in the absurdity and
peril of their financial planks. Maine
and Ohio and Indiana go in furiously
for the protection. free-silver combine,
and Pennsylvania is for initiation any
way to get it. The Kansas plank is a
curiosity. 1t declares that 1.-THE interests
Of the country, the farmers and the
workingmen demand that the minis be
opened to the coinage of silver, and
that Congress should enact law levy
ing a tax on importations of foreign sill
yer sufficient to fully protect the products
of our own mines" This evidently
means free coinage of silver without
daring TO say SO explicitly. The leading
Republican organs in this part of the
country are strangely silent on this new
Republican silver craze. What do they
think of it? What is to be the finan-
cial plank of the New York Republi-
cans? The situation is curious one.
With free coinage beaten in the Demo-
cratic party, why should Republicans
take it up and make their platforms in
Kansas and Ohio worse than the Demo.

Notes from Excelsior.

We have a little sleet yet to remind
US of the cold rub Of last week.
Our school held up two days of last
week during the rough weather.
Mrs. Catharine Kibler is spending
few days, with her son in Newberry.
The overseers Of public roads are
putting the samein good condition this
week.
From the way the farmers are harl-
ing guano it seems that they intend to
ra ise another big crop Of six and seven
cents cotton.
Mr.. Griffin and family will not oc-
cupy the dwelling vacated by Mr..
Werts and family as stated last week.
We are told that the early peach
bloom has been nipped in the bud.
Just about as we expected.
Our telegrapby boys now have up
their wire and are about ready to tic,
tic. the rews.
The farmers in this neiehborbood
have done very little farm work during
the past three weeks.
Mr. and Mrs. Rikard gave the young
folks another pleasant little social
gathering on Saturday night.
Mcssrs. Jno. Ropp and J. S. Werts, of
Saluda, visited friends in the COM
munity last week.
During the cold wave last week some
tramps were around in the community
begging for bread. 1t seems the cold
weather gave these trampers general
stirringup.
We are glad to see that "Ben" objects
to the establishing OF dispensary bar,
room in the town Of Little Mountain.
We also notice the town Of Peak
went miss and will have to 90 some
where else to get dispensary sup OF
the red-cyed juice. We hope to soon
see the time come when there wont be
so much talk about politics, dispensare=
and such like, but when the whole peo-
pie will boil down 10 one political heat,
raise their own supplies at home and
unite and talk pleasantly together as
one. When this is accomplished the
people .of South Carolina will get a
long better aud be more happy and
cheerful is the opinion Of SIGMA.

Is Il knybooy's Business,

dedicated to the 'lmaid who lives oppositel
Is it anybody's business, when a young
man goes to call,
If he enters at the kitchen or the parlor or
the hall?
Is it anybody's business, but the girls he
goes to see,
What that young mans name and station
may happen for to be?
Is it anybody's business if he stays till it
is late.
Or anybody's business if she follows to
the gate?
If he kisses her at parting and she does
not seem TO grieve,
Is it anybody's business save the mans
who takes his leave?
If he comes to take her walking on a
pleasant afternoon,
Is it anybody's business that they do not
come back soon?
If by chance they come together upon the
public street,
Is it anybody's business if she blushes
when they meet?
Is it anybody's business what sort OF beau
she's got,
Or anybody's business if she loves him OF
does not?
Is it anybody's business? I would really
like to know.
If it's not, I'm sure they're many who try
TO make it so.

Longshore Items.

Our young people enjoyed the snow
very much. Our sheriff is too portly to
enjoy sleighing, but he has brother
who enjoys it very much. This brother
had nice tine with his best girl Mon
day morning, and concluded to visit
Newberry on his sleigh Monday eve
ming. The sheriff was coming from to-
wards town and met his brother with
his sleigh. The horse was very tired
and the brother was walking, driving
his horse. When be saw the sheriff he
got in the buggy and passed him and
said, see how nice; but he borrowed
buggy to bring him bone that night,
and now you can't get that brother to
talk ABOUT sleighing.
Our police had quite time chasing
mad dogs lately.
Mayor Sem is putting up good deal
Of wire fence.
Policeman Spearman has built new
pasture fence.
Our judge had a call paid to him by
some ladies lately, but be was so ab-
soroed in business that he failed to in-
vite the ladies in, but one Of them
caught him peeping through the win
dow (our judge is very bashful man)
and bowed TO him.
One of our crippled widowers called
on his best girl few days ago and the
girl came on the piazza and talked to
him for some time, but did not ask him
to alight from his horse. But conclud-
| ing be had come on visitation, she
asked him to get down aud come in.
He told ner she could not play the
judges plan on him any longer and he
got" Better"'luc (" next time.

ing great deal with a toe, caused by
g tack in his shoe.

the sklllful management Of Miss Nina
Bynum. She was called into our midst
as teacher last fall, and during that
time has made many warm friends.
Her stay with us has been very pleas
ant. She is very good instructor and
gave entire satisfaction.
Cholera has been playing havoc with
hogs in our community. Mr.. w. H.
kibler has lost fourteen.
1t seems one of our young dudes has
bad luck. After spending some pleas
ant moments with his best girl one
night last week he couldn't find his
hat, consequently be had to return
bare headed. A few nights ago he
called again and his mule broke loose
and tore up his saddle. He says few
more such trips will break him up.
We sympathise with our friend J. K.
in his bereavements.
Messrs. J. H. Livingston and P. B.
Ellison take the lead in killing rabbits.
They went OFT one day last week and
brought home twenty-five. Wonder
who can beat this?
Our farmers have frightened up and
gone to work with more determination
than ever.
We think if every body would quit
crying hard times, put on new courage
and quit talking politics so much, there
would be great chance. This is the
only way to prosperity.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CLINTON.
-Four Stores Destroyed-Hints of Incen-

ISpecial TO The State.

CLINTON, S. c., Mrrch A very
destructive fire brok out at 9 o'clock
this morning in the second story of the
building occupied by J. S. Hairstor,
and destroyed the stores occupied by
Messrs. Hairston, W. H. Stone, Hor-
ton Bros. and T. G.. Summerel & Bro.
The buildings were about covered by
insurance. All the merchants got
their goods out with considerable
damage and breakage.
The general impression is that the
work was incendiary. but it is not at
all positive. The buildings will be put
up again as soon as possible. This is
the second fire here within a month,
surely a detective could do some effec-
tive work here.
All the merchants had their stocks
we'll insured and VIII not lose any
