OF course the car was stopping most OF
the time. The conductor said he never
before saw so many people get on and of
in such q short distance. There was a
man, woman or child at every
W hite post for more than n mile and then
for the next half mile somebody got of at
every white post.
Time was fieeting thus with appalling
rapidity when a woman, three children, q
baby, O bird cage and turkey got aboard
They did not try TO get
aboard against time but were dis
posed to be moderate. The distracted
sufIragist hoped they wouldn't want to
get of before he did, but they did and
they consumed two minutes and fourteen
seconds at the d,sem bar kation.

quency.
All this served to disconcert the inn
patient suffragist. And in connection
with the facility the trolley car had for
losing its trolley, there was Q man on
the back platform who was having fun.
The fun consisted In trying to hook the
trolley pole on to trolley line
every time 1t let go. The conductor was
packed in at the door and so he let the
young man indulge himself in trying TO
catch on with the trolley. The young
man hadn't had much experience
at the trick, but he seemed to enjoy it
immensely and some day II he practices
he may become proficisnt. The
young mans fun, however, played
the old nick with the nerves OF
the suffragist who sat so tightly squeezed
in that he couldn't Jump up and smite
the young man.
Ii is estimated that not less than eight
minutes were lost by the fun the young
man and the trolley had together.

To the Democrats of Alfalfa.

The Democrats have re-nomina-
ted Hon. John S. Williams for
Congress. The Populites at For
est have no doubt made their NOM
ination by this time. The cam
paign has begun in earnest and the
yeomanry Of Alfalfa must grid up
their loins and enter the fight to
win. We can and will show a
largely increased majority over
1892. What we need is organlza-
ton. With this end in view | sug-
gest and earnestly urge that our
Democratic voters organize John
S. Williams clubs in every neigh
borhood in the county. If not
more than three cali get together,
let them organize a club and circu-
late paper for new members. Get
everybody enrolled and urge upon
them to 60 to work for the party.
l also call a meeting of the Dem
ocrats of the Kosciusko precinct to
meet in the Court House at twelve
O'Clock next Monday. Sept. 10.h,
to organize club. Let there be q
full attendance. Speakers will be

COLUMBIA. February 9-Before the
dispeusary law went into effect there
we're all kinds Of promises of how
much money the system would bring
into the cofers of the State. Shortly
befo-e the law went into operation
Governor Tillman, as chairman Of the
board Of control, made public state
ment in which he said that s'from the
best information that he could obtain
the annual sale of whiskey alone is
about one aud half to two million
gallons; that the regulation Of the
trade would cut the consumption down
to a million gallons and that the
minimum net profit would be 81 per
gallon, and that the State cannot help
making S500.00 the first year after
paying $3.50. 900 for the distributions Of
the liquor and $4,000 for the enforce
ment of the Law.
II is stated upon the very highes,
authority, by those who know. that not
cent has been paid by the dispensary
into the general expense account of the
State. Governor Tillman expected that
the profits would be at least half mil.

followers, whereas. as a matter of fact.
all of the profit, SO far as dollars and
cents are concerned to the State, is vi.

stock in the hands of the dispensers.
but no profit has jet been realized to-
ward the reduction of taxes.

to make revenue, but not cent as yet

advocates Of the new Law. Up to this
time there has been nothing but talk
IN the matter OF the dispensary making
any profit for the State. ltwould seem
that IN seven months some little money
ought to go, to the State Treasurer to
help him out. Although that depart
ment is getting along very we'll. it
would appear, and is meeting all of its
obligations, it has been shown that it
would have had very tbin reed to lean

Farm Mortgages in the Unit.
ed States.

The United States census for 1890
embraces report on the amount Of
mortgage Indebtedness upen the farms
in every State in the Union. A careful
study of this report furnishes some
very interesting lessons. Tn the first
place, We find that the mortgaged
farms constitute but one-fourth Of the
total number of farms in the United
States, the other tbree-fourths being
owned free Of iucumbrance. The
average mortgage represents one-third
Of the value of the farm upon which it
is given; but the total amount of farm
mortgages represents but one-fourth
the total value of all our farms.
Out of every hundred farms,
seventy-two are fully paid for and

uniucumbered. and twenty.eighs are
mortgaged. Four-6fths Of the amount
Of debt on farms and homes was
incurred to buy and Improve the
property. Probably no other industry
in America carries anything like so
small proportion Of Indebtedness, and
it shows gratifying condition Of our
agricultural interests. It shows that
there is no danger Of our magnificent
domain being "gobbled up" by the
much dreaded capitalists and our
farmers reduced to a condition of
serfdom, as our politicians so glibly
proclaim from the political stump when
they are wanting an Office. The
average amount of interest carried by
these mortgages is 7 per cent. Ia
South Carolina. 8 per cent only of the
farms are mortgaged One-third of
this 8 per cent. of farms was mortgaged
for purchase money Of the farms,
leaving only about S per cent mort
gagged for other purposes. So We see
that ninety-two farms ont Of every
hundred in South Carolina are free of
iucumbrapce. The census bureau
states that the Investigations have been
carried out with the greatest fidelity
and care, and that the statements can
be relied upon as correct
It demonstrates two things very
clearly. First, that the facts about
farm mortgages have been grossly
exaggerated and distorted; and
second, that the farming interest is the
most prosperous, because freest from
debt, of any other, and that there is no
other pursuit SO safe and so profitable
in the long run as that Of farming
when properly done.-Yorkville Eo-

The Wilson Tariff Bill.
The Tieaes Of a .Nugaeunep Newspaper
on the Free admission Of Ra,o Ma
teriaZ.

The tariff bill reproted by the Com
mittee on Ways and Means is in one
sense a moderate measure in another
sense radical measure Compared
with the tariffs under which We lived
aud prospered for many years before
the civil. war, it leaves US still with a
very high degree Of protection. Com
pared with the tariffs of couatries like
France aud Germany, in which there
has been of late years so distinct re-
vival of protection, it is also strongly
protectiouist measure Compared with
the completely nou-protective tariff Of
England. its duties are imnoderately
high. But compared with the McKiu-
ley tariff act, it is 10 one respect, at
least, radical measure. It drops the
policy Of indiscriminate protection 1t
rests on the principle that, after all,
there are some things which the coun-
try is capable of producing, but which
it will nevertheless permit to be freely
imported. So far as the great mass of
manufactured commodities is concern
ed, the changes in duty are not in-
cisive; but the free admission Of some
important raw materials marks radical
change iu policy.
Far and away the most important OF
these changes is that by which raw
wool is to be admitted free of duty
For thirty years We have been impos-
ing heavy duties on any and every
quality of wool, and We have been
promised by domestic wool.growers, or
at least by their spokesmen in politics,
that they would be able to supply all
the wool of every quality that the coun-
try wanted. They have never done so !;
10 fact, conditions of soil and climate
make it impossible that they should do
SC. They furnish US with an abundant
and sufficiently cheap supply of woods
of medium quality, But they are not
able to produce 6ue woods in any guam
tity, and they do not 6nd it worth
while to produce very coarse wool at
all. Under these circumstances the
bill wisely pats wool on the free list.
and gives the American people the
benefit Of the 6ue quality Of Australian
wool aud of the extreme cheapness
of the coarse wool Of Russia aud East
