Carolina must stand for Charleston
as her shipping port for her cotton

ships that export her cotton and all
other cotton states must do the same

the golden profits of her cotton in

practiced by her cotton exchange
and other combinations Of accumu-

The Union is no resting place for

tion Of farmers forces to combat
against the enemies who combine to
rob the farmer of the earnings of his
hard labor. Therefore, when you
have Joined the Union you have
merely enlisted in the farmers army
to battle for yo1r rights. Prepare
yourselves to stand the fire and to
return it two-fold every time.

Paris, Nov 23-Pasengers in z train on
the south OF France line between Aim

on Thursday night Torrential rains had
during the afternoon flooded the country
around Argues Mortes.
The train left the station OF ST Lau-

ceeded about two miles, when the en-
CINE driver and stOker noticed that they
were travelling In a running stream OF

carried him Off hts feet. He went back

Not only in the matter OF emoluments

four TONS with exquisitely painted panels
and so gilt and regilt as TO earn for IL the
sobriquet OF the gingerbread coach" as
distinct from the more modest, though
very handsome vehicle used on ordinary
occasions. The coach was built by a con-
tribution OF $500 a head from the aldermen
who had not served as mayor, and is now
seldom seen, save in the civic procession
OF to-day.
His chains and insignia are all worthy
of note. The badges OF royalty are at
tached TO his office; the sword and mace
are carried before him on state occasions,
and he wears the collar and jewel con-
ferred upon him as a mark OF royal favor.
His chain. which is five feet long. consists
Of series Of gold links thence called
the SIS chain, the jewel being suspended
by a ring OF diamonds.

There are several swords attached 10

Elizabeth in 157t on opening the Royal
