There is a certain little corterie in ST.
Paul who live and breathe in a distinct
~ musical atmosphere. That this rart-
fed atmosphere is inspiring the compost
tons Of those busy young musicians
prove. Not yet has any dweller in the
Sanity City produced a musical master
piece, but plenty of good work is being
done in the way of musical composition
work so meritorious that future mas
tcrpiece does not seem entirely an idle
dream. DIR. Rhys-Herbert has recently
bad published two compositions, one en-
titled Beyond the Starry Skies an
Easter anthem; and the other, "An
Through the Night" an old melody ar
ranged for male voices. The London
Musical Times speaks most cordially of
both compositions. Claude Madden, the
violinist, has moved back and forth so
frequently between st. Paul and Mime
apolis that it is difficult to say which
of the two cities should claim him. At
least he has been closely enough asso-
GATED with the musical life of ST. Paul
for the people of this city to feel inter
ested in the success of his compositions.
Mr.. Madden has already written one
opera for which he has found pur-
chaser, and 1t is understood that he is
new at work on another one, in Mime
aDolis. Arthur Bergh, a pupil of Mad
den'S, has written the violin music for
some DIS OF verses ana the merit OF the
work promises even better things from
him in the future. Miss Gertrude Sans
Souci has written number of songs that
have been sung with success by musi-
clans both at home and abroad. Her
compositions display the gift Of rythm
They are light, but dainty and pleasing
Nine Constance Locke Valisi mas recent
ly composed a song for baritone voice
entitled Memories" 1t is said to be a
plaintive little melody, musical and dis
tinctly appealing.
A number of other musicians in St
Paul have tried their hands at musical
composition with more or less success.
Certainly there is a sufficient number of
these ambitious young workers to give
a musical tone to the city.
The song recital to be given by Nine
Louise Homer, the noted contralto Of the
Grau Opera company, Friday evening,
May 2, affords opportunity to hear an
artist of great merit. Although but a few
years before the public, Nine. Homer
has scored successes which place her
among the first Of grand opera singers.

throat-cutting this is to their interest?
It is indeed painful to us to have to
make an exposure like this, but we do
it because we believe the only way to
correct an evil, is to expose it, and we
propose keeping up this kind of fight
if every business house in the town
feels offended at us.
1t was through agitation in these
columns and our personal appeals that
we induced one negentleman to enter the
cotton market, that party created an
activity from the start, and whenever
he is, in the market we bear no com
plants, but just as soon as he is away
or out, there seems to be a drag.
The farmers do not like the custom
of buyers not buying direct from them,
and they are not to be fooled, they
know full well the buyers will not bid
as high as the merchant, and the
merchant buys, then at the close Of
the day the buyer gives the merchant
the full market and takes the cotton.
No town can ever hope to build mar
ket on such lines, it is enough profit
for the merchant to collect for the
goods he sold in the summer at lien
prices, he should be satisfied with
that, and not be so gluttoaous, to want
to make profit out Oh the cotton
too.-Manning Times.

tions in South Carolina, getting a
splendid view of the farms and magni-
6cent crops of Messrs. F: E. Rem
bert, 7. o. Sanders, the STATE farms,
T. P. Sanders and others. At the

Mr.. Editor: [ do not say it to aatter
you, but undoubtedly the Watchman

papers in the State. The last issue
was brimfull of good reading. The
Watchman is clean sheet that any
man can take into his family without
fear of the consequences.

duction or words of praise from the
writer; the productions of his pen,
on any subject are always read. lie
knows when to say thing, how to say
it, and how much. He is not like the
fellow who got excited when called on
to pray and could not quit.
Mr.. Editor, what sort of looking
man is "Guv"? His productions are
so laughable that I imagine him fat
chubby, fellow. Am I right? mo, he
is less fat and chubby than you, and
can look over your head Ed. Some
times get ambitious to be humorous
but Just as it is in the bud "Guv"

humor and / take the blight. I give
due notice to all concerned that | will
not undertake to be humorist till

tions out of print. lido wish he would

J. E. D. has to say. He reads much
and gives newsy letter.
Cotton is nearly all open here and
the bulk of the crop on the uplands is
picked. Many of US now realize that
it is quite short of what we expected.
The crop of corn is very fair. It is be-
lieved by many that peas will be
scarce. Potatoes are fine everywhere.

Comparison of Sumter and Manning
Markets Made BY Manning Times.

Duty to our readers and our patrons
generally whether they be merchants
or farmers, compels us to keep close
watch on our market, and see to 1t
that it does not go backward without
our letting the people know it. The
people know the market Auctuates, but
they also know that no matter how the
fluctuation goes, it does not change
the relative market value. The differ
eince between this market and Sumter,
owing to freight rates is, as We have
heretofore said, about IS, and our
farmers are willing to concede it, but
when it comes to matter Of to %
they are not willing to submit and as
a result the cotton is carried on to
Sumter.
When this market opened, the buyers
pushed the market to the top notch,
and there was no complaint, We were
so pleased with the disposition to treat
the farmer justly that we urged our
readers to bring their cotton here, and
we want to continue urging our farm
ers to bring their products to this
market, but unless there is something
done on the part of our merchants to
force the buyers to pay full value for
the cotton, as matter of honest duty
to our readers we will not advise
them to come here. Here is an Incl
dent, related to Us by farmer, If
correct, is very damaging to our
market. He told us that he asked a
buyer for the price of cotton, and the
buyer said ''my limit is S1s and il
is the very best l can give you,'' q
little later he heard the buyer talking
on the telephone to an out-of-town
merchant, and the buyer said my
limit is 3-16." This farmer said "noW
to me a farmer, his limit was SIS, ano
to merchant lit was. 5 3-16, this is
not fair nor is it honest, and l shal.
take my cotton to Sumter where the
buyers and merchants do not stand il

The Bad Condition ofthe Finances
Of The State Government as Re-
ported by State Treasurer
Jennings.

Columbia, September 19-The fact
aas already been referred 20 that the
States finances are in such a condition
that extreme economy will lave to be
practiced by the next Legislature, and
even with that further Investigation
into conditions show that there Will
have to be an increased levy or re-
duction In expenses somewhere If ends
are made to meet. The fetal appro-
Driations last year, In round numbers,
amounted to 81, 1876, 600. On levy of
5 mills it is expected taat $3.50, ,000 viii
be produced. The other revenue will
he abont S25, 900 from insurance and
about sS, coo from fees from the Secre-
tary of States Office which is large
falling of compared with the previous
year when the fees amounted to about
$4,000. This is explained by the fact
that last year there was an extraordl-
narily large number Of new enterprises
with big capital stocks. While the
number is equally as large this year
the total amount invested does not
come mp to what it did previously.
The total revenue of the State then
viii be In the neighborhood of $685.
900, making deficit Of S153, 600. 70
this must be added several other sums,
as certain small appropriations, such
as interest on old bonds, etc., that
were made year before last and which
are payable out of this years receipts
Under these circumstances Treasurer
Jennings finds that he will be compell-
ed TO borrow the full amount allowed
by law. $500, 600. Last year he had
only to borrow $40, 600, some Of which
must be paid back by this years
taxes. The cash balance in the treas
ury year before last was S165, 600 and
the last year s99, ,OO0. Thus it will be
seen that the finances OF the State
have been gradually going backwards,
until now it comes to be question
whether the levy shall be increased or
not. 1t will be hard matter to IND
any particular place where expenses
nav be cut down, unless there IS q
general cut-down all around. There IS
one hopeful feature about it, that
there bave heretofore been some extra
crdt e.v expenses, which will not be
NECESSARY ts.is year, and these were
sucn as State House appropriation.

The increased pension appropriation
will undoubtedly stand, as there is no
chance of backward step being taken
