that the State had any more right

We think that each county should

CUBA'S INDUSTRIES.

Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter, writing
to The State from Antilda, the
future great city of Cuba, on Nipe
Bay, says that Cuba is destined to
be the garden spot of the world
In the past four years several mil
lions of acres of land have been
planted in banana trees, coffee
trees, orange, lemon and pineapple,
that tropical and scmi-tropical fruits
grow there in abundance. One
company has 5000 acres in sugar
cane; the cane does not have to be
planted but once in twenty years.
That this company has sugar mill
that cost $500, 900 and is now grind
ing cut 40 million pounds of sugar
a year. This is only one mill, there
are hundreds of others. The Nipc
bay company is composed of mon
from the United States, has IL capi-
tai of s6,0O0,OOO and if its plans
arc carried out it will have the larg-
est sugar mill in the world, one
which will grind 5000 bags per day
and which will eat up a., much
sugar cane as can be produced on
49, 600 acres. Already these farms
arc shipping yearly millions of
punches of bananas, boxes of
oranges and lemons, bags of coffee
and pincapplcs. This new bay and
port is far superior to Havana.
There is no scarcity of good bays on
the coast of Cuba, and the lands
are so rich they require no cultiva-
ton. All that is necessary is to
pull the weeds and grass from
among the plants. We ought to
get sugar cheaper and fruits also.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
UNION, S. c., AUGUST 25, 1875.

1t Is peculiarly ridiculous and
would I've amusing if separated from
its serious consequences, that 81
many newspapers arrogatc to them
selves the duty of moulding public
opinion. In the advancement cf
their crude, pucril ideas, the masses
fo low the bubble as it floats upon
the surface, until reason pricks the
shining bubble, and they realize
to their CONSERVATION that they have
been following the shadow for the
substance. This happens when it
i possibly too late for substantial
remedy. The existence of such
newspapers is a menace to good
government and sound principles.

COUNTY DISpENSARIES.

In another editorial in this issue
we say that if the people of coun-
ty want whiskcy sold in the county,
the county should have the right to
establish and control its own dis
pensary. We are sustained in this
by actual experience in the State of
Georgia. This state of affairs exists
in several counties in Georgia, the
State having absolutely no control
of these dispensarics. This is as it
should be. If liquor must be sold
ut all, local dispensarics are pro-
vided for by special acts of the leg
islature. The representatives of
the counties desiring the establish
ment of dispcnsary in these coun-
ties, have an act passed which gives
them the privilege of having dis
pcnsary, and the entire manage
mcnt is local, over which the State
has no control.

that this illusory apparition is the
spirit OF silence that dominates the
scene. And it is the silence of the
place that appalls; for such tur-
mol, even of rock, as RACES beneath
one, would seem in the nature of
things to need some wild voice to
release its wrath; but here is silence
so deep that an engines scream
could not rend one corner of the
mcasureless pail.
There is something of death in
life and of life in death in the grim
ineyitableness of this silence. so
changeless and yet so vital. The
stars and the yawning Canon grip
the soul and draw it to commun-
ion with something strong outside
itsclf-something that escapes def
milton and analysis; something that
the ancient people meant when they
said that they walked with Godl
At Williams we were coupled on
behind the coach of Col. Magee,
general superintendent of the
Wabash system, which is one of
the Gould roads. Col. Magee, on
learning who the party was, threw
open his handsome private car to
us and many of us enjoyed his hos
pitality. All that afternoon and
night we were travelling through the

barest and most absolutely uninvit-
ing regions to be found anywhere
this side the desert of Sahara.
When we passed over sections of
the road where there had been
recent washouts and where the bed
had not been oiled with crude pe-
troleum, the whole party were made
wretched by clouds of penetrating.
suffocating, irritating, debilitating,
exasperating alkali dust. 1t was
almost maddening, and one of the
most estimable ladies of our party
was bewailing her rashness in ever
leaving Carolina. Only thoughts
OF the Pacific the next day made
this part of the trip at all endura-
bic. The heat and the dust put
sleep almost out of the question.
This night of wretchedness, how
ever, was succeeded by the bright
ness Of California day. The palms
and the ever-blooming geraniums,
brilliant in hue, large and luxuriant
enough to form hedges, orange
groves, olive orchards, red rooted
villas, built in the cool Spanish
style Of architecture, all passed by
us with Kaleidoscope rapidity, and
after the desert were as grateful To
us as drink of cool water to a

strawberry tinged layers of granite;
all the yellows in the paint-box;
green's and gray-grecns and pinks
and lavendcrs, with the half-tones
floating on the sun wraiths that
haunt the air. He who can look at
this monster chasm and not feel his
soul stirring in uncanny sympathy
with its depth, is dead, and Gabriel's s
trumpet will do little for him. One
may hold communion with it as
with great music; with the monody
of the ocean, or with any of those
big primitive expressions of the
force that moves the universe,
whether through man in art or
through what we call Nature, as
God made it. No better proof is
needed of the existence of domi-
nant mind through all the universe
than the consideration of how, on
the one hand, the great passionate
outbursts of the masters are art
great symphonies, great paintings,
great messages to men, through
words or symbols and of how, on
the other hand, the sights and
sounds of stark, untamed Nature
rouse the human soul from its
lethargy in the same miraculous
fashion. The God that moves
through Lear" and "Lohengrin, !"
is He who plants his footsteps on
the sea" and rides upon the
storm. " The pilgrim to the Canon
must not go as one who visits a
peepshow or freak of Nature, but
approach it as Moses came to the
burning bush.
The best possible view of the
Canon is from the top. There the
atmosphere piles UP over the crags
and peaks beneath ones feet, and
through this atmosphere, when the
day is at its height, the actinic rays
OF the sun paint marvels in the
huge, gaping furrow in the earth.
From the rim one gets two impress
sions-so strong that they seem al
most too big for the soul to hold
like the soul-smiting terror that
comes to one who gazcs long at the
stars. The two impressions are of
numberless infinitely reaching hori-
zontal lines and of eternal silence.
There are few curves in the stretches
OF stratifed rock that make colored
ribbons many miles long; and the
human eye is not used to taking in
SO much. Over these vistas the
dry air OF the desert quivers with
the heat. Perhaps it is the river
mist rising, perhaps it is sheer de-
lusiOn; but in the motion that
seems to stir the radiant air, a.
white wrath floats, eluding the
eyes that would locate it, yet ever
present in the sunlight that falls
upon the facing cliffs. One feels

Islands and Enter the Golden
Gate of San Francisco Bay.

August When | wrote last we
were rocking along over the plateaus
of New Mexico. All that day and
night we were riding along at an
elevation almost as great as the
highest peak of our Blue Ridge with
ranges of mountains as high again
piled on top of this. Part of the
time we were winding along through
these, following through gorgcs and
around cliffs the course of some
river. The river, however, we had
to take on faith, for none but the
greatest streams arc flowing at this
time of the year, and even these
are rather poor looking specimens
in comparison with their Importance
on the map.
About midday ON Saturday we
reached Williams, from which place
Canyon ycnsh w wFVns wear off to s,t.ns, the Grand
wait here an hour, and the party
grateful for every chance to escape
from the car, spent the time in
buying souvenirs, looking at a
small mcnagerie of native animals,
and specializing on how people
could possibly live in such place.
The feature of this place is the
saloons, the main street of the town
having nothing on it but places of
this kind. The COW boys lounged
around, ready enough to talk to the
men, but blushing like debutantes
when spoken to by the ladies of the
party.
One sign here that caught the
fancy of some of the crowd par
ticularly was Life Saving Station
and Thirst Parlor," at which place
BUSINESS seemed to be hourishing.
OF course / don't mean to suggest
any connection, but the train to the
canyon had started well on it's way,
when it was discovered that repre-
sentativcs of two of the most i'm
portant papers had been left behind,
and it was only by strong repre-
scntations to the conductor that the
train was stopped to allow them to
catch up. AS narrow as had been
their escape, there was yet happy
light in their eye, for which ! do
not undertake to account.
The trip from this place to the
canyon was the toughest any of the
crowd had ever taken, and for three

SENATOR TILLMAN'S REMEDY,

In his speech at Anderson, S. c.,
last week, Senator Tillman said
that he held to the original dispcn-
sary system and plan, and suggested
that since there had been graft and
corruption discovered in the man
agcmcnt, the law be amended as
it now stands so as to put the pur-
chase of whiskcy in the hands of the
Governor, Chief Justice of the Su-
prcme Court, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives. Buy a
years supply at once, open the bids
a-'-;"" the session of the Lcgisla-
ture. r,-----.-----.
This rene ly or recommendation
by Senator Tillman by which he
purposes to prevent graft and cor
ruption is to our mind an insult
pure and simple, to the judiciary
executive and legislative bodies of
our State. He would make them
parties to the liquor traffic, and in
the possible event of there being
any crookedncss in the manage
mcnt, the people would be absolute
ly without means of redress. The
Governor, Chief Justice of the Su-
prcme Court and Attorney General,
members of the general assembly,
one and all particeps criminis,
where would the people be. And
further, if the people do not
want the dispensary as it is, or
otherwise, why does Senator Till
man insist upon dcvising plans for
its pcrpctuation? Why the ncces-
sity of State Dispcnsary? We,
on one occasion, suggested to Sen
ator Tillman the plan of giving to
private individuals the right to sell
whiskcy under the dispcnsary law,
because we never thought the State
ought to sell liquor. He replied, that
would place the business i'm the hands
OF few rich men and thus create a
