What War Would Do.

TIE Detroit Tribune rightly con-
cludes that in the event of war with
the United States, creditor Eng
land would be at a disadvantage.
The moment war is decleared the Unit
el States must necessarily assme po.
sition Of financial independence, and
its interests being opposed to those OF
England, the latter would be very
likely to get hurt. The truth is that
even in peace the debtor occupies the
stronger position. unless it allow the
creditor nation to dictate its policy, as
we have done during the last % years.
If we permit England to say what our
money standard shall be, she will de-
clare for gold, because it enables her
to collect what we owe her in money
that is all the time getting dearer
But when we assume an attitude of
independence the whole situation
changes. Much of our foreign debt is,
by its terms. payable here and simply
in dollars " Under the present sys-
EN- this of course, means gold dol
lars or their equivalent Therefore it
is to the interest of the foreign creditor
to enhance the value of gold. But the
instant silver resumes its proper place
in our monetary system, every for
eign debt payable IN this country is
liable 10 be discharged in silver dol
lars, and the foreign creditor is vitality
interested in sustaining their value.
Let the American Republic open its
minls once more to silver, and many
Of those who now sneer at the 'debas-
ed aud dishonest silver dollar, will
very speedily change their attitude,
and labor strenuously to prove that
the silver dollar is, at least, as good as
the "best money in the world Thus
it will be seen that with silver remon-
etized many Of the tendencies which
now operate to depress 1t, would be
thrown into the opposite scale, and
enhance its value.

Untold Good.

There is no doubt about the fact
that the Kelley Institute Of South
Carolina has done untold good in this
State. Those who have received its
benefits are loud in its praises and
they are living examples of the ef-
iciency of the treatment. The ter
rible curse of drink or opium can be
and is daily being cured right in Co.
lumbia, and broken down physical
and mental wrecks in four weeks re-
turn home sound in body and mind
as nature intended them to be. At the
institute one receives the kinoest at
tentions and is made to feel perfectly
at home. and in few brief days he
once again has the Joy of realizing
that he is a man; that life which
seemed dreary and dark and almost
hopeless is worth the living and en-
Toying as God intended it should be.
Anyone bound by either OF these ac-
cursed habits can be quickly and per-
manently relieved beyond doubt.
All information as to terms and treat
ment may be obtained by addressing
the Kelley Institute. Columbia, 5. Z.

AND WORMS.
Do not allow them to chew your to-
bacco. That which they chew may
not amount to much, and you could
very we'll afford to supply few in
chewing tobacco if this was all the loss
sustained. But 1T is not. The great
er injury is sustained in the damage
they do to the tobacco they do not
eat. There should be no holes in the
leaf. 4 few holes in few leaves may
seriously affect the price when put on
the market. By little attention at
the proper time one need not have
much trouble with worms. When
you set out your tobacco also set IN
different parts of the field few gmyp-
son weed plants. and cultivate them
for the purpose of poisoning the to-
oacco fly. This fly deposits the egg
on the tobacco leaf which matches
worm, and by destroying one fly you
may destroy many-perhaps-hun-
dreds of worms. The gympson weed
will produce a large white flower
which these flies suck. To poison the
fly get cobalt, poisonous powder
put two table spoons full in half pint
water and then make water sweet
with sugar. Put this preparation in
blossom every evening Pull off the
blossom before putting poison in it to
prevent poison killing the stalk, and
then attack 1t to leaf. 1t is a good
plan to pull all flowers not poisoned
so as to be more certain to poison the
fly. This is a prevention for worms
and works well. But if you fail in
your efforts of prevention and are
troubled with worms the most effect
i've way to keep them from seriously
injuring your tobacco is to go over it
carefully about three times a week
and pick them off. In this labor
droves of turkeys and guinea fowl are
very useful, and when trained are
worth more in a tobacco field for this
| labor than many careless hands.

Ilunsed Into the Edisto.

The Columbia State of Saturday
gives the following account of ar accl-
dent on the South Bound Railroad
near North: At $50 Thursday even
ing the northbound New York and
Florida vestibule in charge of Con-
ductor Fl. L. Taylor and Engineer
Tom Cleary, slowed up for the trsStle
over the North Edisto, between North
and Livingston stations on the South
Bound read about 80 miles south of
Columbia. When near the centre Of
the bridge the engineer saw, either
stationary or running down on him, a
fiat car loaded with piles, that had
broken Loose from freight at North
Even at the reduced speed of the train
it was impossible to avoid the disaster
4 second after the discovery the crash
came and the shock was 50 terrible
that an entire span of the steel bridge
collapsed and through the chasm
plunged the engine and tender and the
baggage and mail car. The dining
car in which there was number OF
passengers, reached the edge of the.
break and there stopped-poised on
the brink of destruction. The Edisto
at this point is but little more than a
bold creek, but it was sufficiently deep
at the point where the two cars went
down, to com pletely suomerge them,
and route agent, the baggage. master
and brakeman saved themselves by
swimming out of the doors of the
cars, which were fortunately open.
Engineer Cleary had one leg crushed
and was badly bruised about the head.
At last accounts he was talking IN
choherently and seemed to be very
dangerously injured. Mail Clerk L.
A. Thomas has his shoulder dislocat-
ed and was otherwise bruised, but is
not seriously hurt. There was pref
ty full passenger list and they were OF
course badly shaken up but none were
hurt. There was very heavy mail
on the car, and as it is still under the
water, postoffice men believe it 10 be
absolutely ruined. The injured men
have not yet been moved from the vi
cinity CT the accident. The train
which reached here at midnight came
in via Denmark and Branchville, over

tie is repaired and in the meantime

IT is estimated that bond issue of
one hundred million dollars, with the
Morgan syndicate Will net the latter a
clear profit OF 81, 100000 in excess Of
legitimate interest. The business man
may struggle to meet his payments,
the manufacturer may have to close
his establishment on account Of dull
trade, the farmer may have to sell his
potatoes for seven cents a bushel, feed
his wheat to hogs, and burn his corn,
but business booms with the gold
combine as it never doomed before.

necessary to properly cultivate it.
From the time plants are set unit! to-

Cotton can be neglected for a few
days without serious damage to It.
But not so with tobacco To neglect
when it requires attention is to make
comparatively big sacrifice. As
soon as plants begin to grow the soil
should be loosened around them. This
can best be done with an lron-tooth
rake. In few few days the plow
should follow the rake. Use cotton

little dirt to the plant. After this con,

l desire again to call your attention
to the oppressive hardships placed
upon the people by banking institu-
lions in the smaller townships of the
State in the practice of usury. 1t saps
the life and existence o. the large
number of our farmers who are IN
debt and compelled to borrow even
upon the harshest terms. There can
be no defence of the crime. I would
suggest as a remedy that law be
passed requiring the burden of proof
to be placed upon the plaintiff in every
action brought upon note or account
to show that usury has not been prac-
ticed before.

IN GENERAL.

The past year has been prosperous
one for every industry of the State
Our farmers have been blessed with
abundant harvest; our merchants with
good collections and large profits; our
banks and factories have paid hand
some dividends; our State bonds are
bringing a premium of 10 per cent. in
the market, and for all this we are
thankful. The burdens heaped upon
US, however, by the National Govern
ment continue to be increased, and in
time Of peace the National debt has
been increased to the amount Of over
$500 for every man, woman and
child in the nation. Upon the heels
of it we are threatened with a foreign
war, which would mean stagnation of
the progress and development of the
entire South. We believe in the en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine, but
let rs hope that this is but a feeble ef
fort to bolster up the repudiated for
oign and domestic policy of a great
political failure and monstrosity.

your deliberations.

THE SENATE.
The work in the Senate Wednesday
was of a strictly routine nature.
When the reading of the Journal had
been dispensed with the point was
raised and supported by Senators Fin
ley and Buist, that the names Of SEN
ators present on the first day Of the
Senate should be entered on the Jour
nal. So ordered
The following concurrent resolu-
ton by Mr.. Mower was offered, i'm
mediately considered and adopted:
Whereas, certain charges are made
by T. G. Willoughby, one of the direc-
tors of the Penitentiary, in his report
against the managent of the affairs OF
the Penitentiary; and whereas, said
charges are OF a nature demanding in
vestigation: Now be 1t
Resolved, by the Senate, the House
of Representatives concuring That
the committees of the Penitentiary Of
the two houses sitting together be
charged with the duty of investigating
said charges, and that said committees
sitting together have power to compel
the attendance Of witnesses and the
production of books and papers. Said
committees may apoint from their
number a special committee to con-
duct such investigation, and shall also
have power to employ an expert if
found necessary.
Several bills were introduced. One
to increase the pension of Confederate
soldiers from three to six dollars per
month. This bill should pass. There
were other bills introduced but the
above is the most important.

COLUMBIA, Jan. 17.-In the House
Yesterday an effort was made to pass
the bill to abolish the Citadel Acade-

tons as to the sale of cotton seed in

continued its division, and Mr.. Fink

feated, but the other members Of the
delegation prevailed on the Lgisla
ture to pass MIR. Ilderton's bill. The
bill now goes to the Senate.
