NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET,
(MORNING NEWS BUILDING).
J. 11. K4TILL, Proprietor.
W. C. THOMPSON, Editor.
MONDAY. JOE 6, 1881.
The Utica Observer says: “The Demo
crats will carry New York State this
fail as it has not been carried since the
ballot box was invented.”
It will be seen by the balloting at Al
bany that my Lord Roscoc’s minority in
his own party is growing “smaller by
degrees and beautifully less.” He began
his contest with thirty five votes. On
the last baliot on Saturday he could
command only twenty nine votes. Vale,
Conkling and Grant-thlrdtermism!
John Ryerson is the name of a street
preacher who is endeavoring to organ
ize a revival in the streets of New York.
He evidently has some very correct ideas
on the subject, as he delivers coffee,
bread, soup and other supplies to the
crowd who listen to him. His audi
ences, therefore, are loud and enthusias
tic, and the revival threatens to become
a big affair.
Gradually Mexico is being American
ized point 1 y point. It has just resolved
to adopt the American system of street
nomenclature. In Mexico each block
bears a different name. The consequence
is that there are several thousand streets,
and it is absolutely impossible for any
body, even a hackman, to keep up with
the street nomenclature. It is now pro
posed to do away with the Mexican sys
tem and give each street a separate name,
as in this country.
The Picayune says “that Gen. Grant
is irritated.” We shouldn’t wonder.
Instead of being greeted on his return
from Mexico with a grand “reception’
such as he has been accustomed to, to
be cooped up on a steamer in quarantine
for three days with no other employment
than lighting the mosquitoes and read
ing the newspaper accounts of his friend
Conkling’s humiliating overthrow, is
enough to irritate “a bigger man than
old Grant.”
Readjuster Mahone announces that in
case his party is successful in the Air
ginia election, he anticipates “a great
uprising of Independents in Georgia,
Louisiana, North Carolina and Tennes
see.” Really Mr. Mahone is a “rcadjus
ter” of far reaching sagacity. Upon
what evidence or indication does he base
his pleasing anticipation? What have
we been doing down here in Georgia to
so encourage the Virginia bolter and be
trayer of the Democratic party?
It is suggested that when Conkling
gets to the end of his rope at Albany he
can, with twenty-seven votes, aided by
the Democrats, adjourn the Legislature,
and thus remand the whole question
back to the people. But that would on
ly be jumping out of the frying-pan into
the fire. The truth is his lordship’s
goose is cooked, and the best thing for
him to do is to step out and down as
speedily as possible. The longer he
stands before the country in his present
humiliating attitude the worse it will* be
for him.
Speaking of the Conkling-Platt Re
publican contest at Albany, the Boston
Post says: “As citizens, we are ashamed
and disgusted with the whole proceed
ings; but, as Democrats, we hope this
fratricidal strife between ‘stalwarts' and
‘half breeds’ will continue, for it means
the annihilation of the corrupt Republi
can party. If Democrats cannot, un
aided, defeat it, it by no means follows
that Republican aid should not be ac
cepted. Let them cut as many throats
as possible, and the Democrats will finish
the job in due season. ”
Leadville is growing a little proud.
A discovert* was made some time ago
that the streets of the town were paved
with silver, the quartz that served as a
pavement being so rich that a handful
of it would pay for drinks. Another
discovery is that the stone facing of the
new school house is gold. A large vein
running through it was discovered some
days ago, and the land whence the stone
was dug is now being prospected for
new mines. A city whose streets are
paved with silver, its houses faced with
gold, reads like a page from some an
cient fairy tale.
Some months ago a great outcry was
raised by the press of New York against
the course of employers in refusing to
allow shop girls to be seated during busi
ness hours. The matter was taken up
by the Legislature, and a bill requiring
merchants to provide stools or chairs
for their female clerks was passed and
signed only a few days ago by Governor
Cornell. The merchants are quite in
dignant over this interference, as they
call it, with their rights, and a majority
of them declare that they will refuse to
obey the new law, and will fight it as
long as possible in the courts.
It is said that Americans spent $50,-
000,000 traveling in Europe last year,
and will about double that the present
year. If so, there is a rich harvest com*
ing for those who profit by American
folly. But this rising tide of American
money may change sooner than expect
ed. It cannot rise perpetually, and who
shall say when the turn will begin? Does
anybody doubt that the wildest specula
tion and extravagance pervades the whole
country? These generally precede
financial disaster, and the best way to
avoid falling giddily over a precipice is
to keep away from its dangerous verge.
The government presents the humili
ating attitude of borrowing money above
the market rate, and humbly confessing
that Mr. Hayes committed a great blun
der in vetoing the 3 per cent, measure.
The wise statesmanship of the Demo
crats on the funding bill is fully sus
tained and vindicated by the action of
the Secretary of the Treasury. Unless
there is a great change in the money
market of the world before the next ses
sion of Congress, the measure will be
again offered by Mr. Randall, and it is
not likely the Republican party will
again commit the blunder of rejecting it.
There will assemble at Panama in
September an American Congress, com
posed of representatives from nine Re
publics of South America—Venezuela,
Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru,
Chili, Uruguay, Paraguay and the Ar
gentine Confederation. The conven
tion will devise means to bring about a
common system of federation. Some of
the papers are suggesting that the United
States ought to send representatives to
this meeting, as it will be able, by these
means, to cultivate the friendliness and
good will of our fellow Republics of
South America, whose trade and com
merce lie are now so earnestly court
ing
GeoffcJa Crop Outlook—Commissioner
Henderson’s Second Qaarterly Re
port.
In another column we publish so
much of this report as refers to the con
dition of the growing crops and to the
financial status of the farmers, in which
we find that while there is much to
gratify and encourage the hope of con
tinued advancement in Georgia agricul
ture, there is also suggested a faulti
ness in our system of management which
should challenge the most serious con
sideration. If the farmers of Georgia
have so long persisted in the
ruinous policy of “ all cot
ton” suggested in the report,
contrary to the advice of our successive
State Commissioners; contrary to the
teachings of the State Agricultural So
ciety and the Granges; contrary to the
monthly, weekly and daily beseechings
of the press, and contrary to the convic
tions of their own experience and inter
ests—what now can be said to induce
the abandonment of the dangerous
policy? They think they cannot help
it, and deserve our sympathy
rather than our censure. They see
and feel that they are preyed
upon by all the trades, corporations and
powers. Having no money or credit,
and no way to acquire them save by the
desperate attempt to make another crop
ot cotton, they again submit, with fear
and trembling, to the terms of those who
propose to aid them in that forlorn hope.
From year to year this has been going
on, the towns, cities, railroads and
powers growing fat, and the farmers
sinking deeper and deeper into the bog
of debt, poverty and ruinf^jN’-
The farmer is fully conscious of his
situation, struggles desperately to change
the tide of fortune, often wildly strain
ing his credit for fertilizers analyzed by
his State authorities, and sinks the little
remaining to him in “one more” effort
to regain his losses. He hears of accu
mulated millions of idle capital all over
the country, of the consolidation of great
railroads burdened with capital; notes
the dividends of factories springing out
of his industry; gazes in wonder at the
magnificent buildings constructed upon
his scant earnings; and is amazed to
find himself completely at the mercy of
an army of heartless speculators, pletho
ric with money, enjoying the favor of
the laws and exempt alike from the bur
den of taxation and the commonest in
dustries of the land.
In his view every trade flourishes save
the farm—every enterprise legislated
upon, fostered, pampereJ, save his own.
He sees millions sunk upon useless mon
u aunts, play houses and pleasure
grounds, and millions more squandered
or stolen by useless officials. He sees
all this and more, and is told that it is
all legitimate, consistent with Christian
civilization and necessary to the dignity,
grandeur and glory of the Empire,
State, county, city and town.
That hi* remedy is “industry and
economy,” “emigration and cheap
labor”—of which, the first two, he has
practiced all his life, and the last,neither
his own efforts nor the combined powers
of the best intellects of his State have
been able to accomplish in a trial and
experiment of ten years. What is the
use talking about economy and indus
try, or even diversity and intensity, with
no money in hand to meet the impend
ing mortgage, and no provisions ahead
to bear up the effort at diversity ? He is
under the wheel of misfortune, and his
necessity is not far away to be reme
died by emigration and future labor,
but at bis very door demanding usurious
interest upon an “iron bound” contract.
His present great need is money, cheap
money, that will enable him to heed the
“multitude of counselors,” and to begin
the recruiting of his fortune by the im
proved methods of the day. He does
not plant “all cotton” from choice, but
from actual necessity. Make it possible
for him to obtain cheap money aud he
will gladly diversify his crops. Take
those idle millions out into the country,
let it out at reasonable interest, and ad
mit that the borrower is as honest and
trustworthy as the lender, and few mort
gages will haye to be foreclosed by pro
cess of law. High interest breeds dis
trust, and dishonesty,poverty and turbu
lence are the brood of extortion. Human
nature cannot be changed in this life, but
it may be controlled and its good or evil
parts drawn out, according to the influ
ences brought to bear. Here, then, is a
boundless field for those noble millionaire
patriot* who so love their country
that they buy fabulous piles of its gold
bearing bonds; for those railroad kings,
whose patriotic enterprise lay vast re
gions under tribute to their potent syn
dicates; for those patriotic office-holders
who go in poor and come out fat upon
the spoils of the country; and, lastly,
for that large class of well-to-do trades
men of all kinds, who feel a genuine in
terest in the success of the farmer, be
cause they stand nearer to him and are
more immediately dependent upon him
for the growth of their rising fortunes.
If it is desirable that he should plant
less cotton, make it possible for him to
do so without the harrowing fear of a
foreclosed mortgage and a destitute, suf
fering family. If he was honest once he
is honest still, and if he could be trusted
in his days of prosperity he may be
trusted in his days of adversity, for it is
not the lending of money to men that
ruins them, but the all devouring interest
on that money.
Thus far we have spoken in behalf of
the farmer —in mitigation of the seeming
unpardonable folly of which he is shown
by this report to be guilty—and we must
now be permitted to offer a few sugges
tions to the farmer himself, which we
could not presume to do but for our
sympathy with and deep interest in his
prosperity and success.
Notwithstanding the great evils above
enumerated and the still more numerous
obstacles to be surmounted, the real
prosperity and success of the farmer
must grow out of his self-reliance. He is
the lord of the soil, from which all man
kind is to be fed and clothed, and if the
dependent* have become masters of the
situation, it is evident that the lord of
the household has been asleep or care
less of his Interests. It does not
become his lordship to involve
his estate in bonds and mortgages and
place himself under the necessity of
using borrowed capital. It is his glorious
privilege to draw upon the generous soil
for the funds be shall need in conducting
his affairs, where interest at high rate per
cent, will accrue to the borrower in
stead of the lender. Intelligently pro
tecting himself in the legislative and
commercial adjustments of the econo
mies of trade, his independence
aDd self respect demand that he shall tax
his capacity for the greatest development
of his resources, not only for his own
support, but also for the support of those
who are dependent upon and willing to
pay him a fair price for his produce.
In pursuing this wise policy he will find
his highest successes, resulting from his
most careful and earnestly devoted labors,
in the direction of small areas, diversity
of crops and intense cultivation. These
will be more likely than anything else to
release his estate from all encumbrances,
relieve him of the disagreeable necessity
of “all cotton,” and place him on the
highway to prosperity.
Garfield for Two Terms.
A Washington special to the Courier-
Journal says : "Last February, at a
time when talk and speculation over the
coming Cabinet selections were rife,
Senator Allison, of lowa, whose name
was frequently spoken of in connection
with the Secretaryship of the Treasury,
said to friend: ‘I do not think it would
be a proper thing for any man to accept
a Cabinet position who would, from the
beginning of the administration, be op
posed to a second term for President
Garfield.’ During the same month one
of the most prominent Republicans of
Missouri, a man of national reputation,
had several conferences with Mr. Blaine,
and he came from those conferences
thoroughly convinced that the policy of
the President and of his Secretary’ of
State, from the beginning and through
out the first term, would be so shaped as
to effect, if possible, the renomination
and re election of Gen. Garfield.
“There is every reason to believe that
this is the theory on which the admin
istration is now run. There can scarce
ly be a doubt about it. The frequent as
sumption that Blaine, as the master
spirit of the administration, is busily
engaged in laying the wires for his own
nomination in 1848, is plausible, but it
is altogether fanciful. The administra
tion is to be a Garfield second term ad
ministration. Nobody understands that
better than James G. Blaine and Roscoe
Conkling. Blaine acquiesces; Conkling
rebels. ”
Shall We Have a World’s Fair !
With the unparalleled prosperity of
the country, the mighty progress and
enterprise, no city in the Union seems
able or willing to shoulder the responsi
bility of a World’s Fair. New York,
the metropolis, failed even with the
potent name of U. S. Grant as President,
and Boston, the Hub, is now figuring up
the chances of success for New England.
When she lays it down Chicago will en
deavor to lift the heavy burden, and in
case of her failure St. Louis will try her
strength. It does not seem to be for
want of energy or means that the great
enterprise is so slow in taking form, but
disinclination of the great communities
to burden themselves with an exhibition
of such magnitude as almost to defy the
probability of general satisfaction. The
people have learned that such things are
made up in the interest of individuals,
who generally pocket the money, while
the country enjoys the benefit.
Litter from Col. William Elliott.
Beai'Kort, S. C„ June 2,1551 Editor Morn
ing Aeirs: Since my return from Washington,
I have seen in the News of May 21st, your edi
torial article criticising some statement i re
cently made by me relative to the receipts at
the several ports of Savannah, Charleston and
Beaufort.
My statement was that during the current
fiscal year (commencing July 1. 1880.) the re
ceipts from duties and tonnage tax at the
port of Beaufort had already (May 4th) amount
ed to about SIO,OOO, and that there were goods
then afloat and bound for this port, the duties
upon which would amount to over SIOO,OOO
more, thus making the receipts at this port
from those sources for the current fiscal year
more than the combined receipts from the
same sources at the ports of Savannah and
Charleston for the past fiscal year (ending
June to, 1880.) and I placed such receipts at
Charleston ai about SOI,OOO, and at Savannah
at about $>3,000.
This statement was strictly correct, &g will
appear by the following figures, taken from
the books of the Collector of this port, so far
as Beaufort is coucerned:
Receipts from duties and tones o
tax at port of Beaufort from J> iy
1, 1880, to May 1, 1881 '$ 39,767 11
Received from same source* since
May 1 119,887 32
Total from duties and tonnage tax
already received 159,634 43
There are also goods now bound for
this port, according to Consular
certificates, which will pay 32,551 75
There has therefore been already received at
this port from such sources $159,634 43. and
there will in all probability be received before
July Ist the further sum of $32,551 75, giving
quite a liberal margin, you must admit, for my
estimate of $140,000.
So much for Beaufort. As to Charleston and
Havannah, iny statement was based upon the
“Report ot the Division of Special Agents to
the Secretary of the Treasury for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1880.” pages 8 and iO, as
follows:
Duties and tonnage tax—
Charleston, S. C $ 61,924 62
Savannah, Ga 53,473 23
Total $115,397 85
These figures make Beaufort's receipts for
this fiscal year $44,234 58 more than the simi
lar receipts at Savannah and Charleston com
bined for the past fiscal year, clearly estab
lishing the truth of my assertion.
By referring to your article, you will ob
serve that you attac-r my statement I>>-quot
ing the receipts of years at one or the other
port to which I made no reference. And also
by inc uding items of receipt under the head
of “aggregate” to which I did not allude.
The “aggregate” includes steamboat inspec
tion fees, fines, hospital dues, and other re
ceipts of that character that do not relate
specially to the importing business of a
port.
Neither here nor at Washington was any
statement made with intention of injuring
Savannah or any other port—if indeed it is
necessary to make such a disclaimer.
Here it was simply desired, by a compara
tive statement, to give our guests some idea of
the rapidly increasing business of this port,
heretofore almost unknown to them.
The receipts at Savannah for the current
fiscal year were not given because they were
not known-not being pubished—but Mr. Wil
son, President of the Port Royal Railroad, did
particularly call attention to the rapidity of
the increase of the foreign trade at Savannah,
Charleston and Port Royal.
At Washington in our successful efforts to
retain the naval station here, the attention of
the President was not only called to the in
creasing foreign trade of Port Royal, but also
to that of Savannah and Charleston, and to the
injustice that would be done the South Atlan
tic coast by the ab indonment of this naval
station, there being no other naval establish
ment of any kind between Norfolk and Key
West, a [distance of 900 miles. While at the
North, the longest distance between similar
establishment! wat not more than 250 mile?.
The committee had nothing to do with send
ing out the press dispatch, which contained
several inaccuracies, the dare of the interview
itself being misstated by two days.
We said nothing about the comparative cost
of collection. There need not and there
should not be any rivalry between Havannah
and Port Royal, as very recent events plainly
show.
For more than a century and a half we have
been most excellent friends, rendering each
other mutual assistance in times of war, pesti
lence and famine, against Spanish cruelty and
Indian barbarity, once when the Indian and
starvation together waged frightful warfare
against your struggling colony. I trust this
good fellowship may ever continue. For many
reasons that need not here be named, you may
be sure that I will never say aught to injure
havannah, certainly nothing untrue, and even
as to the truth I do not know but that, upon
occasion, I might accept the license usually ac
corded a very liberal profession and keep back
just a little of that, if its utterance would do
her harm. Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, Wm. Ellio t.

Our Bazar 01 tie Second Floor
Has taken the people by storm; the immense crowds of all classes of people who
patronize it, and the increased receipts are splendid evidences; yst we
do not rest—we continually add more and more
UNBEARD OF BARGAINS!
To the various departments comprising our Bazar, thus keeping the stock fresh,
novel and interesting.
OUR. BAZAR
BOASTS now of an unexcelled line of bargains. The people are amazed and continually ask
us how we manage to sell our goods so cheap. We wifi mention a few of the principal ad
ditions: All Linen, Fancy Bordered HANDKERCHIEFS at 5c., fulls worth 15c. All Linen,very
fine quality, Fancy Bordered HANDKERCHIEFS at 10c. You can’t match It at 25c. A Gents’
AH Linen Fine HANDKERCHIEF at 10c.. and 15c., fully worth 25c . 35c. and 50c. SILK

SUN BONNETS! SUN BONNETS!
For LADIES, MISSES and CHILDREN, of all kinds, is another feature in our Bazar. We pro
pose to sell these goods at such prices that will prevent the making them at home.
We hardly charge the cost of the material. But above all towers
OUR LADIES’ UNDERWEAR DEPARTMENT!
Here we have tried our utmost to excel in quality, in the make, in tastiness and low prices.
Such goods at such prices as we offer them WAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER be reached by
the shrewdest competition. We claim that every word we have said in behalf of our bazar Is
strictly true and not a single jot overdrawn, for we realize the fact that bombastic and sense
less blowing injures the reputation of any respectable house. Just as much as we are sensitive
to have our word believed in our private surroundings, so jealously do we guard our public an
nouncements. We claim that whoever misleads the public by overdrawn advertisements is
guilty of a falsehood. Therefore we have avoided it, and for this reason our advertisement
commands the respect of the public. So much for our Bazar. Now for our
DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT!
We offer this week our entire stock of ALL WOOL BUNTINGS, in colors, at 20c., and in Black
as low as 15c. When we say all wool, we mean not only all wool filling, but also all wool chain.
All of our DAMASBEE BUNTINGS, in black and colors, recently sold at 35c., we have reduced
to 19c.
