THE EXPOSITOR —• -*- — WAYNESBORO , GUA.., SUBSCRIPTION PRICK—IN AIVASCE: Two IJollarn pei* Annum. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1872. BO^BOWERS. The custom of habitual borrowing nuioti'r farmers is one that should be a severely discountenanced. There are occasions, iudecd, when to borrow is al lowable, but the habitual borrower is cither a very mean fellow who uses this contrivance to get the use of other peo ple’s property, or a very poor fellow who does not know how to use a decent im plement properly, or is too slothful and iudifferent as to everything to take any proper care of what he borrows, or to return it. when he has finished using it- It is extremely disgusting to one who takes a pleasure in good implements, is willing to pay a good price for a good one, and takes the best care of what he has, to feel obliged, under tbeseutimout of good “neighborhood,” to lend to one of these contemptible characters what we know will not have proper care taken of it, and will uot be punctually returned when done witii. Among our own experience with such people was the lending of a costly straw cutter to one, who lent it to auother, and he to a third. While in possession of the last, his barn was burned, and with it the straw cutter. Under such a calam ity, so far from hearing anything more of the straw cutter, we were called on to subscribe to a collection ;n behalf of the third borrower. A suffer&r in this way relates his ex perience as follows: “My neighbor wanted to borrow my shovel—would re turn it in the evening. Evening cauie, hut no shovel. The next evening it was quietly returned to its accustomed hook in the wood-house, the blade covered one-halt its surface with a coating of dry mortar. I prided myself on my .clean shovels and hoes. Half au hour’s work with an old knife blade, and the use of a sheet of sandpaper restored it. j Another time he was building a p g pen. The posts were too long and they were very hard, and his saw very dull. Of course he borrowed mine, and he sawed off a nail with it—the posts had been used before. He sent a little hoy to return the saw with the message, “pa would ’a sent it, and got it filed, but he know’d you always filed your own saw, and it wouldn't take but a few Tniuutes to sharp it again.” Another “borrowed" the privelego of getting water at my well. The well is deepaud we draw by a windlass. It is bard for my wife to draw a bucketful, and to save her I usually fill the bucket before going away to my business. As the well is in an out-kitchen, I leave the filled bucket in the curb. My neighbor sneaks id, empties the bucket, aud is mean enough to go away without refill ing it. Wife aud I conclude it is better tef suffer a wroug thau to have a difficulty with a near neighbor, and so for the sake of peace we submit to this wear and tear of soul and body. Wheu the same person borrows flour, for the best article a poor one is returned. Eggs, matches, a drawing of tea, are never re turned.” m These are good illustrations, drawn to the life, of the meanness of a most con temptible class of people. And it makes them more so that such abuse brings in to contempt what under due restriction, would be only the exercise of an occa sional kindly and neighborly service.— Exchange. | ■#- A South Carolina recent election dispatch says : “The Democrats have elected soveral representatives to the Legislature.” Considering that the Democrats have about 48,000 out of the 119,000 voters in the State, aud that there are 124 members of the House this statement gives a vivid picture of the ocmdition to which unfortunate South Carolina has been reduced. Two fifths of tho inhabitants of the State and just the two-fifths of those having all the intelligence and property of the common wealth are so absolutely overridden by a negro majority that it becomes a matter worthy of special mention for them to have even half a dozen representatives out of some six score. — World. r ' ——— *- If home its the place where faces are sour, aud words harsh, aud fault-find ing ever in the ascendant, children will spend as many hours as possible else where. ‘ v THE NATURE OF AN OATH. Early in the rebellion, when the Fed eral forces were stationed at ilenufort, 8. C., there was an old darkey by the name of Ligc Jackson, who, deserted by his master, was left to take care of him self us best he might. Ligo-was con.-ldcr cd a chattel of weak intellect, and, more over, lie was exceedingly awkward in his attempts to play the role of a house servant. He smashed and destroyed nearly everything he laid his hands upon, and having waited upon nearly every officer at the post, each in turn, after giving him the benefit of some hard language for his stupidity, turned him adrift. It happened that Ligc was a witness in a oasc that came before a court, mar tial, aud being called up to give his testimony, was objected to on the part of the defendant, who stated that lie didn’t believe the nigger was of sound mind. “Stand up, Lige,” said the Court. [ “Do you understand the nature of an oath r’ Lige scratched his wool for a mo incut. and then, turning up the whites of his eyes, replied : “Look a yeare rnarse, dis nigger has waited on ’boot half de ossifers since dey hub cum to dis place, aud if he don’t understand the nature ob an oaf by dis time, don dares no wirtue in cus sing. The Court considered Ligc a compe tent witness. —T“*W" \ —r-r-f. Colton 7l:i mi fact ti ring at tlie Month. The New York Shipping List says : “There are factories for making plain goods at Augusta, Ga., aud Granitevillc aud Baluda, S. 0., aud others at Colum bus, Ga., and Alamance for making colored goods, All these establishments were operated profitably at a time when the depression of trade caused* the work ing of the Northern mills to result in loss. They are now said to be doing better than ever before. The constant ly increasing demand for cotton fabrics all over the world creates an increasing demand for cotton milts, aud intelligent men in the Southern States perceive the mportanee of diverting a share of the additional manufacturing facilities to their region, where fuel is aboundant, the climate uiild, and the raw material right at their doors. It has been de monstrated that cotton yarns cau be made at the South, sent to the Ncrth, pay the usual commission of selling, to be sold at the cost of Northern produc tion, and yield a handsome profit; and that ccrtaiu classes of colored goods can be made there and sold in the North at the cost of Northern production, and also yield satisfactory returns. All that the South needs, theD, to make it the seat of powerful manufacturing in dustries is capital and skilled labor, and these it will surely have at no very dis tant period, in the light of what has al ready been achieved.” Ax Eloqup.nt TriHute. —Sir Alexander Cockburn, ihe British Commissioner, in his dissent to the decision of the Geneva Tribu nal pays the following eloquent tribute to the Southern people : “Thousands of Eng lishmen gave credit to the statesmen aud warriors of the South for the higher motives which ennoble political action, and all the opprobrious terms which might be heaped on the land in which lie fell could not per suade the world that the earth beneath which Stonewall Jackson rests does not cover the remains of a patriot arid hero.” A friend says : Going to Cape May the other day, I saw a titan leaning over the railing of the upper deck, and with considerable violence giving to thewiuds the conteuts of his stomach. Just at this juncture one of the boat officials walking briskly by, asked in a patroniz ing manner, “sick, sir ?” “ You don’t suppose, I'm doin’ this for fun do you ?” said the poor fellow, indignantly, as soon as he could reoover his breath. What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. They are but trifles to be sure, but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceiv able. A smile accompanied by a kind word has been knawn to reclaim a poor outcast, and change the whole career of human life. Of all life’s blessings, none are cheaper or more easily dispensed than smiles. Let us not, then, be too ebary of them, but scatter them freely as we go; for life is too short to be frown ed away. ♦ m The Columbus (Ohio) Sentinel says that “ .be highest candidate on the Grant Stato ticket has uot received over 13,- 000 majority, and that the average ma jority is muoh below this.
