Chimney Sweeps.

The organization Of chimney sweepers
IL fast running down, and the business is
being done by tin and roofing shops. The
Order Of Chimney Sweepers is a very old
one, having been formed over two centu-
ries ago and nearly 100 years ago in the
United States. New York was headquar-
tiers, and the sweep either had credentials
from the society in London or served an
apprenticeship in New York. The cry,
which is 80 made that few can tell its
meaning, is, Sweep, sweep, I'm a
chimney sweep I'm New York sweep,
or If any one made this cry who was
not a member Of the organization. he was
summarily dealt with. The chimney
sweeps az one time cleared on an average
from s. TO $ a day, and when they were
not going the rounds might be taken for
prosperous business men. Changes were
made i'm the construction Of fues which
materially reduced their income. and the
days Of the chimney sweep are very nearly
over. What work there is is done By roof
ers, who hire onprofessionals.- York

Now let the young women Of tho centu-
~ rise up and call Lady Henry Somerset
blessed. Listen 20 the way in which she
champions them: Little by little It will
come about, through the higher education
which will steadily individualize young
women, that their mothers will no longer
expect 70 hold in subsection the bright.
balanced and capable young spirits who
equally with II not better than themselves
understand what sort Of a world they ar,
in and have learned 10 handle its forces
with skill and wisdom. The loss Of power
that results from the senseless tutelage OF
adult women in the homes Of the con-erv-
alive classes is one Of the saddest facts OF
our present condition"

vention.

his heart
Don't take too much stock in theory rid
den people.
Better security to horse owners is the cry
of the hour
A colt should receive instruction only in
small doses.
Speed in a horse is what talent is in a
man-it will always be in demand.
The trotter that can trot could never be-
fore win a. much money as at the present
time.
II the horse does not see that you are his
friend, you are not the horseman or the
man that you ought 10 be.
A cynic remarks that it generally puzzles
horse TO know what a woman is driving
at. And the cynic is about right.
Aim 70 produce beauty, for beauty sells
even ia these hard times. II is more rare
than speed and brings more money.
Many people prefer "A mixed race to none

Asa general rule, if an animal is not 1t

still less fit for purposes for which it was
not bred.
Never drive a horse slowly after he has

No man knows the pleasure to be had
with a horse until he treats him as a friend
and fellow laborer and carefully considers
his comfort in all particulars.
Il is a shame to have a lot Of stock and

stock which can hardly live through the

A suggestion comes from the Laur.
ems county alliance that the Reform.
ers hold a State convention in july to
name a State ticket to make the fight
in the August primary. The oppon.
ents Of the alliance and the Reform
movement of course object. They
should apply &c tie II. S. Court for
an inluction and there test the rIgnt Oh
the people to assemble for the pur-
pose Of determing who shall be their
crime for the Reformers to hold
nevertheless the conservatives in
1892 Initiated the example set
by the Reformers. Now il
the Reformers hold a convention this
coming July, the conservatives can
initiate them again by holding one OF
their own in 1896. These things can
be done without anybody chatting in
in the neck ABOUT it. II conventions
are held in Jaly or March and good
men are selected as standard bearers.
to meet those Of different views on the
stump, there can be no harm. The
primary in August will settle the mat
ter. 1.-THE ticket selected in July or
March is made up Of. material to suit
the supporters Of white mans suprem-
acy the August primary will endorse
it, and they will become our standard
bearers for the general election. But
If these conventions fail to place the
standard in proper hands, the people
will go into the August primary and
repudiate them. Politicians may
not be trusted with such matters, but
the people may.

Un]ustly Attacked by Oppose
ton NEWSPAPERS.

Three papers in this State haTlng
seenaft to urk1udly charge that had
associated with me 8 negro as edltor
5nf The Sumter Herald, I desire to
make the following explanation:
During December the hand Of az
fiction was most grieyously laid upon
me. and only such things received my
attention as were imperatively urgent.
The conduct and management OF my
two papers was left entirely in other
hands. Mr.. A. W. Knight, my local
editor and business manager in Sum-
ter land to whom I have sold Tne
Herald), mentioned to meuuring that
time that he thoughtful would be a
good idea to get Rev. J. A. Brown, a
eolored preacher, to write a column
of news especially for the colcred peo-
ple. approved Of the plan and told
MIN TO use his Judgment. The Her
aid has considerable number Of COL
ored subscribers, and such news is
really of.interest to all subscribers.
The idea was not new. for The Man
ming Times has in years past fire.
quently published similar column,
and would have continued it but for
the fact that we found it difficult to
get a good correspondent. This COL
umn was never edited by the negro !:
he simply furnished the news
the same as any other cor
respondent, and it was regular
ly edited in the Office, omit
ting anything that would be object
ionable. Mr.. Knight made the mis-.
take of putting "Etlited by j.. A. B. :"
when he should Of course have put
simply "By j. A. B." Yet any one
who knows me, or is at all familiar
with my history. would not for a mo-
ment believe any such charge as that
Twas thus associated with negro.
This explanation is, therefore, written
for only those who are not acquainted
with me.
have been in the newspaper busl-
ness eleven years and feel proud
Of my record. Sometimes in the line
OF duty have had occasion to con.
demn the actions Of certain ones, and
it is for this have the illwill OF the
three papers that have attacked me,
hut my every word and act has been
ut the dictate Of what 7 conceived to
be right and honest, and iu retiring
from the Journalistic field, as I have
done, having sold both my papers,
do so with not papg Of conscience OF
having ever '.set down aught in
malice Very respectfully,
