BARTER IN BUSINESS.

Undoubtedly there is no absolute ne
cessity for money. Men and business
existed and prospercd long before mon
ey came into use and barter still pre-
walls largely everywhere despite the
general use of money and other means
Of exchange. THE VIRGIN1AN-PI-
LOT has repeatedly emphasized this.
OF course, too, il a. have n claim on
3. for 81 1000, and c. owe b. $1,000, 4.
may buy goods or land OF c. to the sum
OF 81 900 and not only pay him. but
make n settlement all around in full,
without the passing OF n single dollar
In money. by n draft on Il. in favor of
c. But it is only because b. has had
his $1,000 in advance and ditto c., that
A. is thus able to forego his $1,000
though he does take It's equivalent in
goods or land.
Yet why should the Richmond Times
address us on these topics? Why is it
necessary for the Times TO go into n
laborcd essay on barter. or financial ex-
change, for our benefit. unless it has
discovered a system OF banking or ex-
change, by which one can honestly get
something for nothing? The operations
and transactions OF n clearing house
and of the associated banks united un-
der it, or the operations OF bankrupt
debtors whose claims on others have
been brought up by Il principal debtor
OF the bankrupt; neither case presents
the daily exchanges among average
solvent men who must be paid Cir cred
itors), or must pay Gf debtors), in cash,
barter, or some equivalent: and no pos
siblc ingenuity in placing men in con
catenated relations. and no Imaginable
process, can evadc payment. at some
point, by somebody. in cash barter. Sc
cured credit. or some equivalent: being
equivalent TO cash or better.
1t is TO doubt true that barter may
be sometimes rs good as cash. EXCHANGE
or payment. And so OF credit. or bar
ter, or exchange. of credit; but the fact
remains that the vast bulk of human
exchanges, or sales and purchases. even
though they be primarily and apparent
~ nothing more than the exchanges of
the productions of one country for an
Otner, with CaSn involved only TO the
amount OF the balance of trade, YET
EVERY DOLLAR or THE Full,
VALUE OF ALL THE COMMODI-
TIES ON BOTH SIDES HAVE TO BE
ACCOUNTED FOR IN CASH OR IT'S
EQUIVALENT. No sophlstry-no le
gerdemain-no juggling with figures
can avail to hide or avert the fact.
Besides. we are not considering the
great transactions OF nations and con-
solidated capital. but the current bust
ness of men,. and however great a
transaction may be in its collective ag-
gregate, and how manipulated by cred
Its, exchanges, drafts, checks, 1t is in
It's distribution to meet demand use
consumption, that it must be cashed in
dollars and cents; and il there be an
estimated dollar in the world that has
not got dollar In good current money
behind it. in gold silver, or some full
equivalent, it is bogus-a fraud and
swindle. The money exists, or IT Is a
cheat.

The ThOrnwell Orphanage, under the
presidency of its founder, Rev. DR.. ia
cObs, is an institution for the educa
tion and technical training OF orphan
bows and girls. 1t is located in Clinton,
Sonth Carolina. Nine handsome stone
cottages house the children. In addi-
ton there are school buildings, gener-
al dining-hall, industrial and technical
schools, library and shops. A farm OF
an hundred acres gives the boys oppor-
tunity for learning that business.
These orphans represent fifteen dlf-
ferent States (every Southern State) and
their parentage was OF eleven different
denominations of Christians. They are
received at the tender age OF Six, and
after being taught to take care OF
themselves, 90 out to lucrative sltua-
tions.
The cost of support is comparatively
small. Five dollars will board, clothe
and school boy or girl for q month.
This could not be done, were itnot that
the Young people are q busy set and
practice self-help. The money that
cares for them is that which each be-
nevolent Individual gives, as moved by
his own heart, OF the Father OF all:
There is not State in the Union that
does not contribute. No one compels.
No one is responsible for their support.
Often. there is but days supply
ahead; but never, in the 25 years of its
existence, has there been want: He
that says: 81 am the Father OF the
fatherless," seems to have hand in
this. And what OF you?

The half crop of cotton is about all
picked and farmers are busy sowing
grain, where the land is not too dry
and hard. Some of our neighbors
plowed up the cotton stalks in Sep
tember aud sowed oats, which are now
up and looking fine. There viii be
more grain sOwn in this vicinity than
usual this Fall, our farmers having
learned at last mot to put all their eggs
in one basket" The prizes so literally
offered are stimulating the farmers to
a better preparation OF the land to be
soyTn in wheat, which will, of course,
increase the yield.
Miss Hattie McWhorter closed her

a Sad Tragedy at Lowndesville.

This community is resting under a
heayy cloud Of gloom and sorrow, for
one Of our leading citizens and mer-
saperiod of temporary insanity, COM
mitted suicide on Saturday, 11th inst.
For several months his health has
sqnently low. On the day of the TRACE,
went on with his customary Office work
! at the store of Harper g. Latimer, in
which he is partner. Before leaving
for dinner, he secretly put in his pock-
Get o pistol, which was, kept there for
8 the protection of the premises at night,
and OF which he was not supposed to
know the hiding-llace.
During the meal his family noticed
nothing peculiar or unusual about him,
and saw him start out as if to return to
The store, which they thought he had
done until after the tragedy had occur
red.
In reality, he stepped at the outside
door, took off his shoes, walked softly
up the stairs. and entered the room
fnrthest from the dining-room. About
twenty minutes afterwards the family
heard a shot and the sound of heavy
Nall, and rushed to the scene to find the
deceased lying unconclous on the floor
in q pool of blood, and blood streaming
from q ghastly wound in the temple.
4 When found he was barely breathing,
\ and in in Eve e. minutes n life was extinct.

Epis copal Church at Pendleton. There
was nothing left undone that would
enhance the beauty and attractivenesS

with spectators, who, just at the ap--
pointed hour, beheld the bride and
groom, together with the attendants,
marching to the altar, where DR.. Por-
cher pronounced the words that made
the bride and groom henceforth as one.
The Autun school came to close
last Friday. The patrons are well
pleased with the work their teacher,

IA Fatal Accident in Texas.

Last Monday Auditor Boleman re-
Sceiyed from Mrs. D. S. White, of Sher-
nan, Texas, a copy Of the Sherman
.ReqiSte which contained the follow
in account OF the death of Mr.. JEFF.
King, who moved from, this County to
Texas about fteen years ago. The
deceased was born and reared in the
Fork, and was al grandson of the late
w. u. King and Richardson Tribble,
both OF whom were well-known citi-
Szens OF this County. His parents died
III his child dhood, and he was raised by
his grandparents. He has many old
friends;in this County who will be
spained TO hear Of his terrible death:
WI. ID. (Jef) King, for many years
resident of Sherman, had fearful
and fatal fall yesterday afternoon,
shortly after 8 O'clock. He was an
employee at the we'll of the q. and T..
10. railway, being put in on the, COM
pany,s right Sof-Way, just north OF tho
OdneaI street crossing. The well is
about thirty-Seven feet deep and rock
care being blasted in the bottom.
Water is pouring in pretty fast and it
requires great deal OF steady pump
ing to keep it out of the way OF the
men.
Yesterday afternoon at the hollrmen-
men were being lowered back into the
and removing the loose rocks. Four
men had successfully descended al
ready when King grasped the rope and
the man at the steam hoist began to let
s the rope ease off. just how it happen
ed no one seems to know, the rope was
given a sudden jerk and Kings hold
relaxing he fell about thirty feet to
the rocks below. Its miraculous that
ID falling he did not strike and crush

Came down feet foremost until within
q few feet of the bottom, his BODY was
stunned by coming in contact with the
piping and was turned nearly complete
" over, causing the unfortunate man
TO come down practically head fore
most in a heap of stone. He was un-
conscious when picked up in the well.
No time was lost in procuring medi-
cal attention, but from the very first the
physicians expressed themselves as
hopeless in the case and considered it
to make very critical ex-
Of the body last evening to
see the extent of the injuries, it being
so apparent that it would prove fatal.
There are severe bruises especially on
the left side of his face and head. He
was carried to his home, 520South First
street, and fingered on unconscious
until about o'clock this morning when
he died. He had many friends in Sher-
man and worked for the Cotton Belt
rG1way for years. He leaves wife
