THE GAME LAW.

The following sections from the revised

in this section just at this time:

We have it from reliable source that
the cotton mills and buyers in South Car
olina have entered into combine to keep
the price of cotton down. It's damnable
outrage. and there should be some means
by which laws could be passed to sup.
press these monopolies. A fine lot OF
ducks, to be sure, are the fellows who
talk about the farmer combining to keep
up the price and the laborer joining LABOR
unions to protect themselves when they
do the very thing they condemn others
for.-Gaffney Ledger.
The Ledger should not become unduly
excited. We know it to be fact that all
the cotton buyers in this country want to
get cotton as cheaply as possible, and the
mills are not going to pay any more for
the staple than they think is absolutely
necessary. But we see, every day, quota
tions from New York and Liverpool, and
the prices here are so nearly right that we
can hardly think that there is much of a
conspiracy. But if there was such a con-
spiracy it would not be altogether with
out precedent. Stone mountain, down in
Georgia, is big chunk OF granite which
rises several hundred feet in the air and
covers many acres. We remember of
hearing of preacher once who said that,
during his sleep, he dreamed that he
walked around the mountain and came
upon man who was prizing against the
side for dear life with fence rail. Upon
being asked what was the matter, the
man said that another fellow on the other
side was trying to turn the mountain
over, and he was determined that it
should not be done. So our friend, The
Ledger, should take encouragement.
Even if these South Carolina mills and
buyers should be trying to prize down
the price of cotton with fence rails, those
fellows in New York and Liverpool will
see to it that they do not get it done.

"The time has come for radical meas
ures. If We adopt this resolution it
will make the St. Louis convention
the largest gathering of workingmen
in the history of the world. Every
advance of the human race has been
gained with guns and We must use
them. This is the best thing that has
been introduced into the convention.
1t is what my people expect" NJ. ].
Mccarthy, of Chicago, opposed the
resolution as a matter of policy on the
ground that it was not we'll to warn
the public of their intentions. He
said General Miles has already
asked that the army be increased to
225, 900 men, and we don't want to
give the people any warning before
we 90 at them, or that recommends
ton will be followed. 1t is very poor
policy to discuss this in an open con-
vention because we can never beat the
capitalists if we allow them to prepare.
We must catch them before they are
ready" E. NJ. Bannister, in speaking
in defense OF his resolution, said it was
right arms should be met with arms.
This convention, he declared, would
never have been called had it not heen
for the Hazleton murders, and some
action must be taken. A motion 10
Law the matter on the table was car
ried after McCarthy's speech about its
being poor policy. The western dele
gates secured a free silver amendment
to the platform. They said they were
empowered to announce that if it were
not passed not cent of money would
come out of the west to assist the
eastern men in strikes and other
troubles.

A. r. PRESBYTERY.

The First presbytery of the Associate
Reformed church, met at Hickory Grove
last Monday. There was full delegation
of ministers, only one-Rev. I. G. Nc
Laughlin-being absent, and fairly good
representation of the elders. In all be-
tween so and 60 delegates.
There had been three days of preaching
previous to the business session on Mon
day. The pulpits Of other denomina-
tions, i'm town and surrounding commu-
nifty, were filled by the visiting ministers
on Sunday.
Rev. Oliver Johnson, of Leslie, retir-
ing moderator, preached the opening
sermon from I Timothy, iv chapter, 13
verse-"Give attendance to reading" His
exhortation was especially to ministers,
and he made it plain that preachers
should be studious if they would be
successful. They should be studious
First, in order to avoid fossilized forms
of thought and stereotype phrases. Sec
ond, in order to hold congregations and
get people out to church. Third, in order
to escape spiritual degeneracy. 1t was a
good sermon, fresh and to the point.
The moderator elect, Rev. B. II. Grier,
presided over the sessions of the presby-
terry. Reports were received from nearly
all the churches. These reports covered
Sab bath schools, women's missionary and
young peoples societies and general con-
prepational work, and were generally ell
couraging except in the matter Of finance,
L - in inc
incomplete. The assessments for home
and foreign missions had been paid in
full only in about half dozen churches.
This is thought to be due to the fact that
by order of the last meeting of synod, the
ecclesiastical year was made to close on
September 80, which, in this section, is
too early a day for the full settlement of
financial obligations, especially among
the country churches. The presbytery
was so impressed with this condition of
affairs that it agreed upon an overture
looking to a change of the close of the
ecclesiastical year to the 3lst of Decem-
ber, instead of the present date, and also
suggesting a change of the time of the
annual meeting of synod from October
to May.
Messrs. Pressly, of Statesville, n. c.,
and Hough, of Lancaster, S. c., preached
trial sermons. Both sermons were cred
table and were sustained as satisfactory
specimens of progress.
Two new churches-one at Moorsville,
N. c., and one at Rock Hill-are in pro-
cess of erection. The Moorsville church
is about completed. The work at Rock
Hill is temporarily suspended for lack OF
building material but when finished the
church there will be one of the neatest
and most attractive in the presbytery.
Steps were taken to organize new con-
gregations at Thyatira, n. c., near the
old church of Sardis, and at Bessemer
City, near Kings Mountain, n. G.
The Revised Books Of worship came up
upon an overture of synod. The presby-
terry not feeling ready to decide upon the
merits of the matter, referred it to COM

IN DRY TOWNS.

/ The question as to whether liquor can
be legally sold in dry towns. in original
packages, is now the issue between the
United States court and the dispensary
authorities, and there is promise OF some
lively litigation on the subject Upon
the result of the issue depends the estab-
lishment of original package stores in
Yorkyille and various other towns in
York county. The Columbia State, OF
Thursday, has the following in regard to
the matter
The governor has recently ordered five
original package stores located respect
lively in Elko, Woodruff, Greenwood,
Cowpens and Williamson, all dry towns
closed up and the stocks seized. 1t hap
pened that at Elko the agency was that
of Bluthenthal & Bickart. This firm is
protected by O sweeping injunction grant
ted by Judge Simonton in the Union
case. AS soon as the Elko seizure was
made. the attorneys of this firm notified
the constables who closed the place that
they were in contempt of Judge Simon
toms order of injunction and demanded
the release of the goods. The attor-
ney generals Office replied that the
state did not consider the constables in
contempt and that the property would
not be released. Mr.. Barber says that it
is very clear that no contempt can come
of the proceeding under the law, the town
being dry town. Then the attorneys OF
the Atlanta firm notified the South Caro-
lima and Georgia railroad that if it accept
ed the goods from the constables and haul
ed them to the state dispensary at Colum-
bia, proceedings would be instituted
against them. The road wired to the at
torney general and was hesitating about
taking the shipment. But later a tele-
gram came from the road saying that
upon the advice of its counsel 1t had
taken the shipment and would handle it.
While this was going on the attorney
general received information to the effect
that rules have been issued by Judge ST.
monton returpable before him at Flat
Rock today requiring them to show cause
why they should not be held for contempt
in the Greenwood and Woodruff cases
but that the judge had refused to grant
temporary injunctions accompanying the
rules.

has heretofore pursued Of taking no
notice Of complaints lodged with it
against employees who fail to pay
their just debts.

icy, First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Heath, instructed the post
master at Youngstown, o., to dis
miss clerk in the postotlice there
who is charged with persistently
disrcgarding the requests of his
creditors for Il settlement of their

Similar action will be taken in
the cases of other postal employees

Train Left the Track.

PIQUA, o., Oct. 5.-The Panhandle

was wrecked two and a half miles east
of this city. The train was coming
down grade at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, and in crossing the frog of the
Jordan switch left the track.
The engineer had the presence of
mind to shut off the steam and apply
the air brakes. The engine continued,
notwithstanding, at a terrific rate of
speed, tearing UP the tracks and plow-
ing the ground at a frightful rate. For
$40 feet the engine bumped over the
ties and then went into the ditch at
the side of the main track The tender
went IN the opposite direction, while
the baggage car was thrown crosswise
of the track. Two day coaches were
derailed and crushed together.
The Pullman cars were also derailed,
but they escaped with little damage.
