RARE OLD HISTORY.
Story of Adele Alonquon Found in an
Old Clock.


Cincinnati, O., Dec. 24.-The Enquir-
er's GalliDolis special gives a discov-
cry Of manuscript in a secret drawer
Of an old clock in the city which re-
veals a secret of the French court and
shows the reason of the visit to thar
city in 1883 Of The Duke of Orleans. aft
erward Louis PHILIPPE of France. The
discovery was made by Claude NJ. Wall
while taking apart an old French clock
which has long been standing in the
storage room OF his store. He found
an old parchment manuscript in French
wrapped with a child's flannel skirt
richly embroidered and bearing a mon b
ogram. A piece of fine lace was also
with the manuscript. The manuscript
purports TO be a true history of Adele
AlOuqUon' 1t bears the signature of
Louis de Alonquon, and is dated Oct
10, 1883. It is addressed to AG ele, ap-
parently TO be given her whel she
grew TO maturity. The substance of it
is that Adele was the daughter of the
Duke of Orleans. The mother died at
the child's birth, ignorant of the rank
of its father. The writer was then
placed in charge of the child and sent
with it to Gallipolis where there was
a French colony. The story runs that
he beca- her perceptor and finally
after the visit Of the Duke of Orleans
to Gallipolis. it was determined to send
Adele to a Catholic school in France.
The mother Of Adele not being Of royal
blood, the marriage was kept secret.

Tea Industry In South Carolina.

The successful experiments Of
United States Commissioner of Ag-
riculture lie Duo, followed by the
successful planting and manufacture
of tea at the Pinehurst Farms, Sum
merville, S. O., has attracted North
ern capitalists, who will go into the
business on large scale and who
expect to raise 100000 pounds an
nually for the American market.
Col. A. @. Tyler and Major r. D.
Trimble, of New London, Conn,
and the Baron j. A. Won Brunig,
formerly of the German legation at
Washington, are the leaders of the
enterprise and have already bought
1000 acres of pine land along the
line of the Charleston and Savannah
railroad, 15 miles from Charleston.
Messrs. Tyler and Trimble were in
camp at Summerville during the war
with Spain and saw the success OF
tea culture at Pinehurst. Major
Trimble, will, it is said, be the active
head of the company. 1t is said
that DIR. Sheppard has had this year
twice as many orders for tea as he
could fill.

BY Q vote Of 185 to 102 the Ma
tional House Of r Representatives. has
accepted the reappo ortionment plan
proposed by the Burleigh bill which
increases the membership Of the
House during the next decade from
867, the present mbership and the
memb bership4 proposed by the com.
|anittee or Hopkins bill, 70 l8s6. The
result was largely brought about by
the influence Of certain Senators
from several Of tho larger N orthern
States who threw the weight Of their
influence in the scale I'm favorof the
larger membership. When it became
apparent that these factors were at
work against his bin Mr.. Hopkins
attempted to compromise by giving
anadditional Representative each to
North Dakota, Colorado and Florida,
but his adversaries refused to CON-
promise after complete victory was
assured. The Crumpacker proposi-i
tion to recommit the bill for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining what States
abridged the right to vote to an ex-
tent which would entail reduced rep
resentation, was defeated 1870 to no.
There was no roll call on the vote,
but number of Republicans voted
with the Democrats.
Under the bill as passed no State
loses a Representative and the fol-
lowing make gains: Illinois, New
York and Texas, three each; Minne-
sofa, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
two each Arkansas, California, Col
orado, Connecticut, Florida, Louisi-
ana, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Washington, West Virginia and
Wisconsin, one each.
The bill provides that whenever a
new State is admitted the Repre-
sen:atives assigned to it shall be in
addition to the number provided in
the bill. It also adds provision,
never hitherto Incorporated in re-
apportionment bill, to the effect that
Congressional Districts, in addition
to being contiguous" shall also be
compact" States which are al
lowed additional Representatives by
the bill shall, by it's terms, elect
them at large until the Legislature
shall redistrict the State.

Race Trouble In Indiana.

The sequel to an attempt made by
o mob of white men to drive from
Newburgh, Warriok county, Indiana,
a negro whose wife is alleged to be a
white woman, may be an attempt to
lynch the negro, says a dispatch Of
last Thursday. The negro moved
into the village a few days ago.
The report that his wife was a
white woman aroused indignation,
and he was ordered to leave. He re-
fused to obey the order, and crowd
of thirty or forty whites went to his
house and commanded him to come
out. The negro fired at the whites
and the shooting became general.
Sixty shots were fired, but nobody
was wounded. The mob finally re.
tired.
The Sheriff of Warrick county
came to the scene of the trouble and
unsuccessfully urged the negro to
leave, the latter declaring he would
stay in his house.

Unless the South Carolina delega-

Now, since it is settled that the
representation Of the State will re-

be several should be introduced az
once, that there may be plenty Of
time to divideup the State in the
most advantageous way.
1t can be taken for granted thatit
will take q lot of hard work to get
any redistricting bill through the
House and Senate, for the reason
that there arc so many conflicting
political interests involved, and it
will be impossible for them to agree.
The matter will simply have to be
fought out bypersistent and oontinu-

Whether there shall or shall not
bet reorganization of, the Demo ocratic
party and asretnrn to it's old prinoi-
piles ard tradition. .lpolioies depends,
in my opinion, almost entirely upon
the action of the Democrats in the
South. OF the 1876 electoral votes
secured at the recent election for the
candidates nominated by the three
allied political parties only thirteen
were chosen outside Of the Southern
States, and these thirteen were
chosen in only four States by popular
majorities aggregating less than fifty
thousand. ait Il .,s !, s 5, ii
The Southern people have thus
separated themselves from the great
body of their friends in the North
and West and attached themselves
to the mining States of Colorado,
Idaho, Montana and Nevada,
four comparatively small States,
which have, or think they have, a
special interest in the free coinage of
silver and the other Populistio poll
cies promulgated for the first time
in national convention at Chicago
in 1896.
On all these questions the true in
terests of the South are identical
with the interests of the great indus
trial and commercial States, whose
votes have been cast on the other
side, and which will continue to be
cast the same way as long as the
same questions are agitated.
Surely, the two overwhelming de-
feats sustained by the party since its
new departure at Chicago in 1896,
out to be sufficient to convince the
most obstinate mind that further
efforts in that direction will be use
less, and that the party must either
retrace its steps or cease to be con-
sidered formidable power in ma
tional politics.
There are other questions demand
ing immediate consideration, and if
we can bury the dead issues and
unite upon the living ones, the ulti-
mate success of the party will be
assured. So far as l know or be-
lieve, the Democrats who refuse to
abandon the principles of the old
party and join the combination made
in 1896 will not expect or want the
office. All they ask is that the ques-
tions actually decided by the votes
of the people at two national cleo
tions shall be considered as perma-
nently settled, and shall no longer be
made tests of party allegiance.-Re-
view Of Hon. J ohm G. Carlisle in st.

Give the Rank and File a Chance.

Among the important questions
that will come up before the present
session of the Legislature is the
school question. Superintendent
McMahan in his report has asked
that an appropriation of 100000 be
made for the public schools. He
suggests that the Improvement most
needed in our educational system is
the Improvement in the country
schools of the State. The towns
have their graded schools, the Dense
ly populated rural communities have
their school districts with special
school taxes, but the districts far
from town and sparsely populated
have made little Improvement in
their educational system. We be-
lieve that the time has come for q
complete change in our system from
top to bottom. We do not mean
that the system should be reversed
and the bottom put on top, but we
believe there should be no bottom,
and that the whole system should be
symmetrical and complete. Less at
tention should not he paid to higher
education, but more attention should
be paid to the education of the boys
and girls who never see within the
walls of college.
The time is ripe for change, a
radical change. The exigencies of
the incoming century demand that
some great forward movement be
made in our educational matters.
The country at large is prosperous
and our State is sharing in the pros
perity. Business life Is the all alb.
sorbing lite and to make success of
business we'll equipped minds are
best fitted. Never before in the
worlds history has 80 much been
expected of the individual, and for
one to measure up to the times the
State must provide a liberal system
of education.
The country boys and girls are the
bulwarks of our civilization. They
are the most stalwart, the most moI al
and the most uaeful Of all tho hova
and girls of the land, and for the
State to refuse TO hear their ory, to
fail to heed their call, is a shame and
a crime. Improve tho country
schools, re-arrange the system, give
the rank and file chance and there
will be raised in our midst citizen
ship educated, enobled and glorified.

What the Negro Has Cost Us.

The followingis taken from copy
Of The Keowee Courier, published
September 8, 1864, and it will no
doubt be read with interest by
many:
Some OF the Northern papers are
getting tired of the war being waged
for "nigger freedom" The New
York Herald even relieves itself Of
the following on the subject:
This war to free the niggers has
ragged relentlessly for three years,
and what is the resultP There were
at the commencement four millions
Of niggers in slavery. tits estimated
that the war has made one million
free. But even all of this million
have not been able to stand the
ordeal Of their passage from slavery
to freedom. Two or three hundfed
thousand have perished meanwhile
by famine, disease and bullets. But
say in round numbers, one quarter
Of the niggers have been made free,
what has it cost us as friends Of
humanity, to free this millionp
North and South together have paid
we'll for it; for in the armies of both
sections there have been killed or
disabled, or have died, not less than
one million of white men---a fair
balance, man for man. A white man
dies for every nigger that is made
free. But this is not all. The debts
Of both sections make up the sum of
five thousand millions of dollars.
Thus, for every nigger that has been
made free, in obedience to the clam
ors of the friends of humanity, the
whole country has given five thous.
and dollars and the life of one white
man. At this rate whatwill be left
of us when we have made free The
whole four millions?
Will it not be like the Kilkenny.
cat fght2 Will there be any more
left than tho tails?

CHILD LABOR IN COTTON MILLS.
The Manufacturers Of this County Put Our
", Assembymen on their Guard.

To the Honorables Senator Hern-
don, Representatives Brown and
Thompson. on.-Gentlemen: Represent
ing, as we do, large manufacturing
interests in Oconee coun ~, we deem
it our duty to lay before you &C : IN
matters relating thereto, which, we
are sure, will engage your attention: /:
i: Of course the rapid growth of
the cotton mill industry in South
Carolina and in the South has linn
tied mill extension in New England,
and, as such investments have been
much sought after in the past, the
changeto Southern mill building is
much deprecated, and all sorts of
efforts have been, and, we doubt not,
will be attempted to handicap our
triumphal progress by unfriendly
legislation under cunningly devised
pleas.
2. Very recently an agitation has
been begun at home, under humani-
tartan motives, in regard to children
in our mills, and looking to future
educational tests for relief from what
is believed to be great grievance.
AS a matter Of fact there is not
mill manager in our State who does
not heartily approve of an age limit
of twelve years for workers in our
mills. This would insure better
help and leave the children from six
TO twelve to 60 to school and pre-
pare themselves for the duties of life.
8. Legislation aimed at the mills
alone to accomplish this result will
be frultless, however, unless parents
can also be reached. Our daily ex-
perience shows that parents insist
absolutely upon controlling their re-
spectivo families, and, unless the
Legislature can intervene and enact
compulsory educational law, compell-
ing parents to send their children to
school up to the age of twelve and
atfixing penalties for the violation of
the same, a very serious result will
swiftly follow. Georgia and North
Carolina have no such laws. 1t will
inevitably happen that when South
Carolina mill agrees to employ
family, but, according to the pro.
posed new law, rejects workers under
twelve, the family will quietly take
the train and in an hour or two will
be in mill in neighboring State
where all can get work.
a. We cannot help reminding you
that some very positive social condi-
tions have to be known and consid.
cred in this complex matter. Work
in our mills is largely by families,
not separately, as individuals. Some
take their ten year old children into
the mill to have them under their
own eyes; others carry them there
to keep them off Of the streets and
the chances of bad company; others
from dire necessity for procuring
their ehare of the family living.
With all these actual conditions duly
weighed the Georgia Legislature has
recently defeated similar legislation
by the decisive vote of more than
two to one. Speaking for our mill
investments in Oconeo county, now
rapidly increasing, as well for the
enormous investments in the State
at large, we take occasion to remark
that it is a condition, not humani-
tartan theory, you are to deal with.
Hasty legislation aimed at the mills
