No Barmaids.

So
In England there are 80. 600 bar
maids. Lady Henry Somerset is or
ganizing league of women for their
rescue; but it has been discovered that
tney do not want to be rescued at the
expense OF their means of living. They
regard their business as honest and
proper, not scanda,ous or degrading;
and they see no more wrong in draw
Ing mug of ale or mixing toddy
than in serving rasher of bacon or a
Welsh rarebit. The barmaid is an'old
English institution, and that is kind
OF thing which cannot be abolished or
reformed easily in England.
We are pleased, none the less, that
failure has been the fate of the at
tempts repeatedly made here to intro
duce the barmaid system. About three
years ago there was a flourish of
trumpets at the opening of a Broadway
liquor saloon with pretty barmaids. 1t
did not draw any better than previous
institutions of the kind, and had
short existence We do not want that
kind of thing in this country. 1t is
not less offensive to American manhood
than to American womanhOod. We
hope that it will never be introduced
into the United States. The serving of
liquor from behind a bar is not u fit
business for young women.-N /.

The Roads, the Cotton FactO-
ry for .EdgefieId, and Divers
Other Things.

An attack of that dismal m ala
dy, the grip, the dreadful condi-
tion of the roads, and q brief alb
sence from the State have all stood
IN the way and prevented my in
flicting your readers with afiiic-
tons both terrestrial and celestial,
as Bill Arp would say.
What will be the outcome of the
roads is now bothering me and
should engage the attention of
every one, high and low, rich and
poor. The roads have been bad
and are getting no better fast.
From time immemorial bad, they
are now Il disgrace to our people =
gullics, unsafe in the day time
and dangerous at night. AS the
new plan is an experiment we can-
not yet tell if it will be successful.
We certainly wish the superinten-
dent or supervisor success in his
Herculean undertaking, knowing
that things cannot be made
worse even if efforts i'll that direc-
ton were tried.
A country is Judged by the yir-
the and intelligence of its citizens,
by its laws and the observance of
them, by its churches, school
houses and public buildings, and
last, but not least, by its roads,
dirt and rail road, particularly

list under it's banner. Carefully
and scrupulously .selec. men to
steer your Cor our) boat, raise
walls of defense against traitors,
and may such a tidal wave of re-
form spread over these United
States of oars, as shall utterly ex-
terminate our wicked, polluted ad-
ministrators aid SOW such seeds OF
right as shall cause the sun of
prosperity once more to rise and
forever shine over this benighted
land of ours. Our traitorous rep
resentatives have polluted the
name Democracy. but its princl-
Piles are yet untramelled and pure
and will never die. The princi-
pies of democracy have never de-
ceived US, but our representatives
have sacrificed US and its princi-
pies at the altor of sel6shness and
the almighty dollar. Platfor' ms
are supposed to express the wishes
of the people but they are appar-
emily worthless nowadays. The
platform set forth by the Chicago
convention was the best the party
had ever presented, yet its de-
mands have been wanton]y dis
regarded and trampled upon as
our administration proves. Slim
ulated by selfshness, attired in
hypocrisy, our leaders rode the
platform into office, started the
horse for self promotion, and have
cruelty swept every vestige of hope
and expectation sroa, the people.
Let the men chosen to repre-
sent us be like Henry Clay, who
said, II had rather be right than
be President" and ever remember
that many politicians and office
seekers are born of selfsbness and
many such will answer our call.
Yea, be not too credulous; we have
been betrayed once, we may be
again. Many a blatant cry is and
will be raised in behalf of our
cause propelled only by se]6eh
motives and we may not be able
to discriminate however discreet
we may be. +. \. d.

Joe Edwards Plan for Getting
Together.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the multlplici-
tv of counsel there is wisdom.
Here is my plan for harmonizing
the warriug factions in Edgefield
County:
Let the County Convention be
called, as suggested in your col
umns a week or two ago, giving to
each and all factions fair repre-
sentation in delegates. When The
convention assemblies in The courl
bouse, lock the doors securely SO
that no one can get out. Iben
feed tie Refcrmers on colton-seed
meal bread and the Ants on sour
buttermilk for two days or longer,
the first six Or the six first who
walk cut to be declared the noml.
nees OF the conven' ion and The
delegates to the Constitutional
Convention.

has agreed TO furnish the bread
and Coroner Rauton will be asked
to furnish the buttermilk-

What is Transpiring at Cleora.

Mr.. EDITOR: I have been think
ing for sometime I would give you
a few dots from Cleora, but have
never made the attempt before.
Well we have had some fair
weather at last and the farmers
are making good use of. it. Grain
is all killed by the recent cold
snap and some Of the farmers are
sowing over. J. H. Reel has SOW
ed the third time; twice the cold
killed them and now the wild tur-
keys are eating them up. There
will be slim chance for grain
around Cleora this year.
Miss Emma Foss of Hepzibah
Ga. is teaching a hourishing school
at the Brunson school house. She
is loved by all of her pupils and
patrons. We alsu have a large
Sunday School every Sunday at
the school house and preaching
once a month. Mr.. Mealing
breaches for us every first Sunday
morning and is liked by every
body.
We have four stores in almost
hollering distance and all are do
ing good business. Mr.. W. T.
Reel has large stock of dry goods
boots shoes &c. Just take the
Cleora Courier and read his ad-
vertisements and come and buy.
All Cleora needs now is a cotton
factory and a rail road.
Mr.. w. P. Brunson has put up a
ginning and grist mill which is
very convenient.
Miss Eta Strom has returned
from pleasant visit On the Sa-
luda side and the boys are wear
ing long faces over there, but they
are smiling one more time around

Round About Denny's.

Mr.. EDITOR: After long silence
I again ask for space in your col
umns for few 'dots from Den
ny's.'
Xmas has come and gone, and
u great nlnhy of our young penpln
have married. Our bashfu! young
friend Walter Marlborough was one
among the number who decided h"
could not walk alone. lie and
Miss Annie Coleman were happily
married that cold second Sunday
III January, by Rev. L. D. Vaughn,
the pastor Of the Saluda circuit.
1t has been showing and rair-
for two months, and the roads arc
almost impossible in some places,
and the clouds look as if W"
might haze another snow; | think
we can all Join with Miss Cleo At
taway on the chad roads"
The bad weather has very much
delayed the farmers in their work
they anticipate a late crop this
year. Tho oat crop is almost
ruined by The continued cold.
Our young friend Miss Matte
Forrest has been sick for three or
four weeks, and we can't say she
improves any whatever; but hope
she will soon be herself again, as
we all miss her SO much at church.
The writer had the pleasure of
attending pound party last Fri
day night March 1st at Mr.. Nose
Walton's. The night was a rainy
one, but a large crowd gathered
around a long table which was
.bountifully spread with turkeys,
cakes, candies, and everything
nice. 1t was given, by DR.. J. J.
Kirksey and Prof. Tom Jones, a
very bashful young teacher at
Centennial. We did not ste much
of Prof. Jones as he did not take
any part IN the plays. I wonder
if he enjoyed it? He doesn't seem
to be much of a lady's man, but
so much The better for him I ex-
pect.
1t is reported that there will be
orange blossoms near Denny's
soon.

ny's charming young ladies speaks

confesse3 and avoids the impor-
tence of the deceased Congress as
follows:
The impotence of Congress in
dealing with financial legislation
during the session just ended was
due to the fact that under univer-
sal suffrage Congress represents
the people of the country. Con-
gress Is the mirror of the peoples
views. The people have not made
up their minds on the financial
question, and Congress mirrors
the different shades of belief and

The Atlanta Constitution as
serts that the Improbable price of
cotton affects the farmers less
sorely that it does the business
and trade of the South and of the
country, and this statement is un-
undoubtedly true, for as the Con-
stitution says: "The farmers can
live. He has the sun and the soil
to sustain him. TO produce cot
ton at a loss hurts, but it does not
paralyze him. He can most as
suredly turn his attention to
something else" He can cease
to plant cotton altogether and still
survive; but, meanwhile, what is
to become of the business interests,
the trade and commerce that have
built themselves up and are sus-
tained entirely by the money
that has been brought into the
country by the sale of cotton and
cotton goods?"

they would eat it if it could be

old girl actually crying-even
bawling for "zite," or the waller
sand.' She wanled it to play
with.
While rambling around with
prospector we saw two females at
a distance. I asked him If the
women were not digging for it. He
said it was very probable. After
q while they emerged from the
creek bank and proved tc be two
little girls of the lies Miserable"
class. They, in their dense igno-
rance and heathenlsm, had hardly
heard of monazite. When asked
what they were doing the reply
was: "Huntin' elder to make pipes.

the yellow sand. 1t amounts to
craze. Those who lease pay one
