Can't Fight 10 Texas.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, July 27.-Gov. Cnl-
bertson this afternoon issued proclama-
ton prohibitive of the Corbett-Fitzsim-
mons fight. He asserts that 1t is fla
grant defiance of law, and will bring
disrepute upon and foster spirit Of dis
obedience Of all law. The proclamation
itself is as follows:
"Whereas, Texas, with her hospitable
and intelligent population and limitless
resources, needs no incentive Of violated
law to induce immigration or invest
ment; and, whereas, the Constitution OF
the State eDjoins that the Executive shall
cause the law to be faithfully executed, -
''Now, therefore, I, g. A. Culbertson,
Governor of the State of Texas, by virtue
of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and laws thereof, do hereby
urge the various officers charged with
such duties both to prevent the commits
sion of such offenses and cause offenders
to be punished. And all persons con-
templating future infraction of said laws
are warned to desist therefrom, and are
put upon notice that 10 the limit of Ex-
ecutiYe authority shall take care that
the law is faithfully executed, to the end
that such offenses may be prevented and
offenders punished"

Gentleman as Well as Soldier

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Initial steps
were taken at one of tho river resorts just
below Washington last night looking to
the erection in New Orleans of statue to
Gen. w. s. Hancock, the hero of Gsttys-
burg. The subject was fully discussed at
an excursion given by the Confederate
Veterans, and attended by several hun
dred Grand Army men as invited guests.
Arrangements for this work have been
put In the hands of Gen. Heth, and plan
will soon be outlined for raising fund
among the soldiers who served in the
Confederate army. Itwas thought fitting
that statue should be erected in rep
resentative city of the extreme South, 1t
having been suggested by the erection In
Chicago Of the Confederate Veterans
monument to six thousand Confederate
dead buried there.

No More Seed.

WASHINGTON, July o6-Secretsry Nor
toms antagonism to the existence OF the
seed division of the agricultural depart
ment reached its logical conclusion to-
day in an order abolishing the division,
to take effect October 1st, by which date
W. E. Pagan, chief of the division, by
the same order is directed to have It's
work wound up.
The abolishing of the seed division
will throw out Of employment ten peo-
pie, besides the chief, at present, and will
result in depriving fully $50 more OF
occupation during the busy season-the
winter months-when it Is customary to
send out the bulk of the seeds. The
chief has salary Of S2,0 900 year. There
are two clerks at 81 200 and eight at $40.
The extrs force employed in the winter
season is paid at the rate Of S1.50 per day.
It is probable that Mr.. Pagan will be ap-
pointed to another branch of the service
after his resignation as chief of the seed
division takes effect,

A Unique Railroad Disaster.

KOBE, .SAPAN, July ga frightful
accident, in which one hundred and forty
soldiers perished, has occurred on the
railroad running from this place to
Osaka. A train Of twenty-three cars was
conveying to this city four hundred
Japanese soldiers who were returning
from China, where they had taken part
in the military operations. A heavy
storm was raging, and as the train was
running along the sea wall, on which the
tracks as they approach the city are laid,
an immense sea leaped over the wall,
separating the train and derailing the
engine and eleven cars, which plunged
off the wall into the bay. Most of the
men were caught like rats in trap. The
accident occurred at about l o'clock in
the morning, and the night was pitch
dark. The sea was running so high that
it was impossible to render any assistance
to the men in the cars that had gone
overheard, even had means been at hand
to do so. Some of the men who managed
to get out of the cars were dashed to
death against the wall.

Last Thursday at an Alliance meeting
in York County Marion Butler, the
Populists- Republican Senator from North
Carolina, delivered long and bitter
speech In which he denounced the Demo-
cratic party. He was followed by Sena
tori Tillman and Gov. Evans, who COM
plimented Buffers speech, and renounc-
ed their allegiance to the Democratic
party and announced themselves ready
to form q new party. Senator Tillman
called for rising vote to see how many
would follow him him into new party,
but 8 large proportion of the crowd failed
to respond to his invitation. These
speeches should be preserved. They will
be good evidence to present to the Na-
tional Democratic Executive Committee
next year when delegates are sent to the
National Convention.

g Gen. NJ. G. Butler, in his recent address
before the James D. Nance Camp Of Con-
federate Veterans, at Newberry, said
CATER Brandy Station came the march
of Gen. Lees army to Gettysburg, where
the pivotal battle of the war was fought.
It has been said the Confederacy reached
high water mark at Gettysburg. The
army of Northern Virginia, seasoned by
so many great and desperate battles, was
then at its best. A more splendid army
never took the field. Its discipline, its
fighting qualities, its confidence in its
great commander, and his in the army.
were we'll nigh perfect. True, one of his
strongest right arms, 'Stonewall JACK
son, the greatest military genius I-~-
duced on either side, had died from his
wounds at Charlottesville, but the other
veteran Generals were there, and it did
seem the cruelty of relentless fate that
their efforts should encounter failure in
stead of success. It is idle now to specu-
late, but we cannot get rid of the thought
that if Jackson had been there the result
might have been different. May be not.
An All-wise Providence, who controls
the destinies Of men, armies and nations
decreed against us, and uncomplaining
submission is best and wisest."

Constitutional Convention have returned.

at Cypress Chapel Church yesterday, but
only an audience Of twenty men appear

their FIRE. The meetings have been SLIM
" attended, not more than fifty being at

pie are surfeited with politics. They
have had it dinned in their ears with
such persistency for four years that they
had as lief see the devil as politician,
and they do not care what sort of Con-
stitntion they get If it will only give
them some relief from politicians, so
that they viii not be troubled with them

The New York ladepe pendest says the
recent national convention of the Chris
tan Endeayor society of Boston. was the
largest religious meeting ever held in the
history of the world. More than seventy
thousand delegates were present, repre-
senting every State in the Union, and
every province Of Canada. Itwas most
enthusiastic gathering, and gave positive
evidence that the Christian religion is
not on the ware in North America.
Many Catholic newspapers noted the
spirit that pervaded the great gathering,
and urge that church to organize its
young people on similar lines. The
Christian Endeayor is no ephemeral
movement, but it is an earnest, efficient
and enduring promoter of q purer faith
among men. 49,

Drunk Quick, and Cheap.

COLUMBIA, July 23.-The dispensary
authorities have issued the price currents
that are to lake effect on the 1st of August.
There will be considerable reduction,
but whatever cut there has been in prices
has for some reason been confined to the
cheaper grades of liquor. It is the au-
inouncement Of the authorities that the
system Is no longer to be operated for
profit, but it is now to pose as q glorious
moral institution. Whether the market
has gone up or down or better terms
have been secured Is of no interest to the
consumer. He is satisfied with the pros
spect of getting his "grog' cheaper than it
has heretofore been sold. There has been
no change whatever In the prices of
number of the grades of liquor sold
through the dispensary. The prices, for
instance, of beer, domestic brandies, ale,
porter c. d all grades Of wine remain the
same to the consumer and dispensers as
they have been during the year. The.
changes of price are confined entirely to
the so per cent. goods and the single,
double and triple star liquors. Mount
Vernon liquor has advanced In quarts
and reduced for the pints. Just at
glance on the lists it will be seen that
there is considerable reduction. On 80
per cent. corn in half pints there has been
a reduction Of S3 per cent. on x corn
reduction Of 25 per cent. on x rye % per
cent. and on xxx liquor 16 per cent.
There has been no change at all in the
prices of Old Cabinet, Pepper, Thompson,
Dilinger or Old Elk liquors.
The following are the prices to the con-
sumers after August in such articles as
present changes in prices and which will
be of considerable interest at all times to
the average drinker.
Eighty per cent. corn, gallcn SLIGO,

DON'T BE BOTTLED.

Under the above caption the Greenville
Ne,ps of the 18th inst. contained the fol-
lowing editorial, which is worthy Of the
consideration of the people of Anderson ):
The upper Counties of this State are
directly and the entire State is indirectly
interested in the sale Of the Port Royal
e. Western Carolina Railway, to which q
correspondent directs attention to-day.
AS we understand the case, it Is typi-
cal instance Of railroad wrecking. The
roads composing the system have been
bonded far beyond their value. OF course
default in payment cf interest and prin-
cipal was the inevitable and intended re-
suit. The Central Railroad system, of
Georgia, holds the bonds, many Of them
probably bought far below par. As the
case stands, nobody can bid as much as
the Central because that concern can ten
der payment in bonds.
Under q law of the State, however, the
Central cannot become the owner Of the
Port Royal & Western Carolina without
permission from the Legislature. It is
likely that very strong efforts will be
made to obtain this permission during
the next session.
As.our correspondent says, the roads
of;the Port Royal & Western Carolina
system were built by the people, and at
heavy cost and much sacrifice, to secure
for themselves the advantages Of compe-
tition, and to relieve themselves OF the
power of the Richmond & Danville, now
the Southern. They have not finished
paying for building the lines. To allow
the purposes of their enterprise and gen.
;erosity to be defeated would becruel and
unjust.
9 The Seaboard Air line is eager to buy
the p. r. & w. c., but its honest cash
canEot compete with the accumulated
bonds Of the Central, If the latter is al
lowed to bid and buy. It is the interest
of the people that the Seaboard Air Line
should be given the opportunity to buy
the system for fair cash price. 1t Is
also to the interest Of the bondholders
among the general public who bought
their bonds for legitimate business pur-
poses.
The subject should be kept before the
people, and at the proper time should be
made distinct issue in the election OF
members Of the Legislature. The up
country should not submit to being bot
tied. The State cannot afford to have its
most prosperous and wealthy section
bottled. The people ought to be made to
understand and defend their interests.
The sale to the Southern Railway Com
,pany ought to be opposed by every pos
sible method and to the last extremity.

QUESTION.-Mr. Minor, why are
you always busy ?
ANSWER.-"Eternal vigilance is
the price of a living, and we must
have bread. We work for our Gus.
tomers 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 gab-
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 off the track, but they only
urge them on.
Q.-Why is it you never have time
to talk with 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,
Jelly Tumblers, Water Jugs, &C.,
ETC., &C., etc.
Yours always truly,
