Golden Resolutions.

How many good resolutions are
broken during these January days!
AS the midnight bells ring out the
old and ring in the new year, how
many thousands OF penitent inebriates
promise themselves to lead better lives
and for weeks and days thereafter
struggle manfully against the tyrant
that runs riot through their veins !!
But flesh is weak and alcohol is strong
and as the days 60 by the craving for
drink becomes so great that few of the
struggling thousands can resist it,
and, one by one, they fall hopelessly
into the old ways until another mile
stone shall give them pause. To the
weak but willing among us the Kelley
Institute of South Carolina is goa
send. The gold cure is mot gold that
glitters," but it shines like a benedic-
ton in the faces of the liberated-the
free! Make, by all means, your good
resolutions, but back yourself with the
gold to be had only in South Carolina
at thu Kelley Institute in this city

The Fertilizer Compromise.

Inasmuch as there is much discus
sion as 70 the terms of the agreement
entered into between the railroads and
the railroad commission in regard to
the quarrel over the new fertilizer rate,
the following agreement made between
the roads and the commission, being
Mr.. Henderson's proposition to the
commission, has been made public:
On behalf of the railroad attorneys,
I submit to the board of railroad COM
missioners the following propositions
with view of adjusting the differences
between them as to the fertilizer rates,
and bringing about a feeling of conf
dence and friendship between them.
/. The railroad companies will have
Immediately withdrawn the pending
bill in the United States Courts of
equity in the Manchester and Augusta
railroad case, and the railroad COM
panies will agree to putin operation as
soon as rate sheets can be arranged,
the reduced tariff on fertilizers, but no
penalties are to be imposed, provided
the railroad companies shall refund to
the proper parties the excess charges
above the new tariff on all shipments
since January 1, 1896, that being fixed
upon as the date when it shall be con-
sidered as having gone into effect,
2. At the request of the railroad
companies, the commissioners will take
up at an early date with traffic man
ayers of the several lines the consider
alton of the entire freight rate with a
view to ascertaining whether there are
not some other articles which they can,
consistently with their official duties,
grant raise of rates or so revise the
entire tariff as to do justice and equity
to all parties concerned.

determination Aimed At.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Blue books have
been issued containing all the official
dispatches relative to Armenia between
July "a, 1894, and October 16, 1895,
and the reports of the consular dele
gates attached to the Sassoun Commls-
sion. The report gives the history OF
the Armenian agitation for several
wears and records the obstacles thrown
in the way of the commission by the
Turkish delegates. 1t also acquits the
Armenians of the charge brought
against them of burning their own
property to incite an outbreak among
their people, adding that the facts elic-
tied fail to prove that the Armenlans
were in revolt, but show that the agi-
tator Murad instigated several Armen-
ian outrages on Kurds. The latter
then retaliated and the Armenians fled
TO their villages.
The conflicts between the Armenians
and Kurds followed and the govern
ment did nothing to arrive at peace
full settlement or to protect women and
children.
The report shows that the number of
killed has been grossly exaggerated,
but the report admits that owing to
the absence of registration it is impos-
sible even approximately to fix the
number of victims.
Mr.. Shipley, the British delegate, de,
clares that the Armenians were hunted
like beasts and if slaughter was not
greater it was owing to the yastness
of the mountain ranges, which faclll-
tated the escape OF the Armenians. He
was convinced that the Turks aimed at
the complete extermination of the Ar
menians in the Talori district.
The editorials in the morning papers
upon the Armenian blue book mostly
comment on the fact that they only
picture the overture toa long tale of
massacre and that the careful report
| of the delegates has justified every de-
nunciation yet published of the Sui
tan.
