SELF RELIANCE.

The prudent and successful ia rmer will
rely upon himself and not look to ad
ventitious causes for success. 1t mat
ters little to him who rules or what
kind of money we have all these thing.
will be measnrablv good, for there is
enough conservatism even in our pres.
ent politics and politicians to not have
things utterly bad. A wholesome fear
of the people where public favor de-
ponds upon the SURFACES of the com
mon people will ever prove 10 check
upon extreme measures and before
things can go too far wrong the people
can redress them. 1t therefore be-
| hooves the farmer who is wise in his
generation to apply himself with all
his time and energy to his farm work,
regardless of croakers who would re-
duce all to their level or the many
isms and cisms that devide public opin-
ion on subjects far above-not only the
comprehension of the average farmer,
but of astute scholars in the subjects
discussed. There is no mortal power
that can possibly prevent any man of
ordinary intelligence from not only
making a good living but becoming
absolutely independent on farm All
that is necessary is to resolve to prac-
tice industry and economy for year
or two and to not cultivate too much
land and make it rich. Just as sure as
the earth exists these assertions are
true. If after more than half a centu-
ries experience in this world we were
called upon to state what avocation in
life afforded the most assured health
happiness, independence and leisure rs
we'll as clear conscience we would
without a moments hesitation say

BAILING COTTON.

This is question now agitating the
commercial world. Better bailing and
protection is demanded. American
cotton is said to reach European mar
kets in worse condition than the pro.

tion, unless amendment is made.

Conservatives Stand Firm.

ABBEv1LLE, June pa meeting COM
posed of one Reformer and one Conser-
yative from each township club In this
county was held here to-day. The Object
of the meeting was to endeavor to get to.
pether and agree az to the election OF
delegates to the Constitutional Conven.
ton. AS soon as the meeting was called
to order by the chairman, j. ID. McCal!a,
". w. Bradley offered resolution look-
ing to the election of two Conservatives
and four Tillmanites to the Convention.
This met with opposition at once ana II
soon developed that the Conservatives
had come to the meeting determined on
getting half the delegation, or none at all.
AS the Tillmanites would not conoede
half, the meeting came very near ending
in complete farce. But a resolution
was finally passed requesting the execu-
tive committee of the county to call 8
Convention to be held here on July 9, to
determine as to the number of delegates
each faction is to have. But it is pretty
certain to result about like the meeting
did to-day.
While Gof's decision was Of force the
Ring would gladly have agreed on an
equal division, but since 1t has been re.
yersed. they will concede nothing. II II
was not for the of1iceholders, the people
could get together, but it is to the interest
of the officeholders to keep up the strife
and they can be depended on to DO It;
But from what your correspondent heard
Yesterday, the Conservatives OF this
county will let the primary severely
alone unless the Ring will consent to an
equal division of delegates and enter into
such compact as will ensure the Con-
servatives fair treatment. The people are
at last beginning to open their eyes ano
to find out that in order to beat the Ring
they. must come square out and strike
from the shoulder. We are satisfied

Run AT a Loss.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 20.-The report
of State lio1 commissioner Mixson
shows that the State Liquor. Dispenser
although enjoying supposed monopoly,
backed by all tho force of the States
Courts and arms, and enforced with de-
voted energy by its creators. the Tillman-
Evans administrations, has, in the nearly
two years of its operation not only failed
to pay profit, but lacks nineteen thou
sand dollars of re-im mbursing the State the
fifty thousand dollars it advanced it 1892
to start the business. Commissioner
Mixson says in his report that the large
profits reported by his predecessor IN
office, Mr.. Taxler, as having been earned,
we're incorrectly estimated by counting
in unearned profits on unsold liquors and
making no allowance for prospective
losses. He describes the system as i'm
proper and unbusinees like. In conclu-
Sion he expresses the hope that by next
February the dispensary will be out Of
debt. II, however, the United States
Courts continue to protect Interstate
shipments of liquor to private consumers,
it is expected that the receipts OF the dis
pensary will be greatly reduced while It's
expenses must be maintained.

Rena Jacobs, the young lady who shot
herself through the head, at Bay Minettee,
few days ago, has died from the wound.
The bullet lodged in the brain and the
young lady never regained consciousness:
Her mother said to those who gathered
around the coffin awaiting the funeral
"Take warning, young people, from this,
and part company with novels. It was
novel reading that caused my child's

her mother after supper and stated that

is, however, limit within which these
may be, with propriety, expressed. Thus
when we find Senator Tillman, OF South
Carolina, declaring that bis State would
not vote for Christ unless He stood on q
free silver platform, and that he himself
is ready to fight in front Of the gates Of
hell for free silver, we may admire bis
zeal as much as we choose, but even the

Tuo bnndrod Omaha indiana "

Two hundred Omaha Indians, who
recently received their annuity Of $780,
900, went to Pender Immediately and be-
gan drinking freely. It was not long
before drunken Indians, women as well
as men, were thick in the streets. Dep
relations of all kinds were committed.
Drunken women paraded the streets,
bowling and acting as If bedlam had
been broken loose. Some threw their
arms around white mems necks and ask
ed for kiss. Some of the bucks, when
completely overcome with liquor, fell in
the road and were picked up later by
friends and carried out of town. Several
wagon loads were disposed of in this
manner. Knives, pistols, and all sorts OF
deadly weapons we're display d, but no
one was Seriously injured.

ANS ERS
TO 4 FEN Si'
QUESTIONS
That we are
Asked Every Day.

QUESTION.-hlr. Minor, why are
you always busy !?
ANSWER.-"Eternal vigilance is
the price Of living, and we must
have bread We work for our Gus
toners when they are not here, and
hence We are ready when they come.
Q.-Why are you forever getting
in New Goods :?
A.-There is never ceasing stream
outward, and we must keep contin-
uous inflow in order to keep on a
level.
Q.-Why are people forever CAB
bing about you, pro and con?
A.-Our competitors feel the blows
we have dealt them, and would resent
the damage done them. Our Gus
toners talk because We give them
something worthy of mention.
Q.-Why are other merchants al
ways throwing off on your goods
A.-They hope to scare timid Gus.
toners of the track, but they only
urge them on.
Q.-Why is it you never have time
to talk with a friend? Other people
say they have more time than any
thing else.
Ave don't have time to talk
because our customers, who are really
our employers, demand our very best
services for their money paid.
Q-Why is your house forever
crowded with goods new and custom
ers bright?
Ave are always crowded with
goods because our employers (cus-
tomers) are usually on hand demand
ing the stuff, and we must have it for
them. We are usually crowded with
customers because the average man
knows which side his bread is butter
ed. We acknowledge no dead, dull
seasons.
Q.-Why don't you employ more
help, and not keep so pushed all the
time?
A.-Ah! There's the point. Why
don't We do lots Of things to make
our business more expensive and
charge the difference to you when you
trade with US? Right here's where
hundreds Of good men drop their
candy. Our patrons want to pay for
store administration honestly and
economically managed. They want
full value for their dollars without
paying few cents extra for an idle
clerk or two to sit around and whittle
on old goods boxes. In short, we
pay for the honest dollars we get with
honest goods at honest prices. And
that's why We laugh while competi-
tion frets.
We are in it for the Summer trade,
and want to sell you your Fruit Jars,

Intend the orders Of this Court TO be used
las cloak for any violations of the dis
epensary law. The constables must aci
within their prescribed limits and not
transgress them. IF they, have sufficient
evidence that certain liquors are being
imported for sale they. should immedi.
atelY seize them, and Il have promised
them that this Court will not intervene,
but where they have not that proof they
must keep their hands of the goods, for
gby selling such liquors they are acting IN
sorders. I now dismiss the case against
Constable Addison for selling the liquor
consignsd to- George Smyrl, Of Camden,
as there was some evidence that he was
engaged In the barroom business.
~ sentence Constable j. w. Clanton to
-one month In the Charleston County jail
and Constsbles 8. G.. Lafar and r M.
ss3SYiQht to two months In the Richlsnd
and Anderson County jails respectively,
there to remain until the liquor shall
have been returned. The evidence IN
these cases certainly showed that the
constabIes have acted without justifica-
ton. Tho other cases I shall take under
conside ration.' Z,
There are several other cases in the
hands of the Court. The prompt action
gof the Court In Furnishing the constables
SIS looked upon with favor here, and as
the constables acted by the order Of the
Governor, there is some curiosity to know
how his excellency Is going to take it.
CoLUMBIA, s.. c., June N.-Governor
Evans did not seem at all disturbed by
the, news Of the sending by Judge Simon
ton of three constables to jail. His man.
ner indicated that he expected such a
Happening.
When asked what he was going to do
abont atshe replied Immediately: Take
the eonstables out of Jail under writ o.
babeas corpus before 9 justice OF the Unl'
+ ted States Supreme Court.
The Governor said that the justice be-
fore whom the application had been made
syfd been decided upon, but that he would
not rive his name yet. He s.id it was
not Chief Justice Fuller. The Governor
said that he was sure the constables
would be released under bond until the
appeal from Judge Simonton's decision
could be heard next fall.
1--WE will reverse Judge Sinonton, just
az we reversed Gof," the Governor
added. The principles in the two cases
are identical and the decision OF the
Fligher Court will be the same."
"a 11e IN announced that even II the consta-
ltfas have to- spend their days in Jail there
iviIl be no trouble to get others to fill
their places and continue che seizures for
J the So q day they are paid while at work
or while confined In Jail.
