(JOY. Ellevbo's Coiiditlon.
Tho nows from Columbia in rofuronco
to Governor Kllorbo's condition is not so
onoouraging or hopeful. However bis
illness has not taken any ohango for tho
worso since lost wook. Dr. .hunos Evans,
of Floronco, has boon called to Columbia
for consultation with Dra. Taylor and
Babcock. Dr. Evans is a personal friond
of Gov. Ellorbo's and is tho physician of
tho Governor's family. Tho protracted
illnoBSO? tho Governor hos aroused much
alarm among his friends. Ho is just
now on tho brink of consumption, which
may spare him for many days or may
torminato his career in a short time.

G. W. Pratt, I. H. Harrison and R. T.
Jnyncs, of Walhalla, attended tho moot
ing called at Anderson on Tuosday last
in tho interest of tho Black Diamond
Railroad. Delegations from other cities
and towns along tho proposed routo
wore also in nttondanco.
It was decided to mako a survoy from
Port Royal to Anderson without delny.
Tho money to pay tho oxponeoB of tho
survoying corps was pledged by the
citios and towns South of Anderson. A
survoy was mado several years ago from
Anderson via Townvillo and Westmin
ster to tho Georgia line. This will be
soul in to tho authorities of tho lllack
Diamond system for consideration. A
survoy will also bo made North of An
derson by tho towns of Pendleton,
Seneca, West Union and Walhalla,
which will alBO bo submitted. Going
South from Anderson two lines will also
bo run, ono via Greenwood, anothor via
Abbovillo. A doop interest is mani
fested in tho proposed enterprise by tho
pcoplo of our State, and it may bo taken
for granted that they wiP do their full
share to got tho road, lt id sincerely to
bo hoped that the scheme may not tor
minato in failure. Tho surveys can bo
mado at comparatively small cost, tho
big nionoy will bo required to build and
equip tito road. Tho estimate is $.">(),
OfXkOOO. This is a largo sum and the
purpose is to get it in London. Hon. T.
M. Dickson is there now as tho financier
of tho enterprise. Ho luis not yot suc
ceeded in raising tho money, but hopos
to do so, and so do we.
Tho Legislature.
Tho Gonoral Assembly has adjourned
after hoing in session about six weeks. Its
deliberations aro marked more by what it
refused todo than by what it did. In
our judgment there has been much wis
dom exhibited in non action at this
time. Thoro wore several changes of
laws, in our opinion, that ought to
have boen mado that wane not: still there
have been many bills killed which never
ought to havo found their way before t he
body. Taking all together we feel that
tho assembly has done well.
Tho session has been almost entirely
devoid of factional feeling; no unpleas
antness has been exhibited, and very
little personal abuse has been indulged
ill. Old alignments seem to have given
way to new ami hotter motives. The
good of the State has been moro con
sidered, irrespective of faction, and this
is a feature for congratulation.
Wliile little has been accomplished in
tho way of enacting new laws, much
good sonso has been shown in killing
bills proposed winch would have accom
plished no purpose and encumbered thc
statutes and confused tin; law.
In all something like ??O hills wore in
troduced, and of this number it is safe
to say that not more than UH) will find
their way into tho statutes.
Tho General Assembly spent several
days in discussing the dispensary law,
which will, to all appearances, result in
00 change. This wc think unfortunate,
for we feel that any county desiring to
prohibit tho sale of whiskey hi its bor
ders should be permitted to do so. And
again wo think that some law is neces
sary to prevent the corrupting influences
of amassed whiskey. The lobbying of
tho Stato Board of Control In tho Gene
ral Assembly ?B disgraceful.
Thoro was nothing done with thc
County Government law except tl e pas
sage of an act explaining its terms and
perfecting it.
Women Should Know lt.
Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because tho nature of their dis
ease ?H not corroctly understood. They
have booti led to believe that womb trou
ble or female weakness of some sort is
responsible for tho many ills that besot
womankind.
Nouralgia, nervousness, headache,
putfy or ?lark circles under tho eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in tho back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty supply
of urine, with strong odor, frequent de
sire to pass it, with scalding or burning
sensation, Bodimcnt in it after standing
in bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, aro signs of kidney and bladdor
troublo.
Tho abovo symptoms aro often attrib
uted by tho patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. I lenco so many fail to obtain
relief, because they aro treating, not the
disoaho itaolf, but a rolloction of tho pri
mary causo, which is kidney trouble.
In fSct, women ns well as men are
nenie miserablo with kidney and bladder
troublo, and both need the same remedy.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is tho groat
discovery of tho eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is easy to get at
any drug atoro for fifty cents or one dol
lar.
To provo its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by

?ACKoON LIMBLESS GOno?
I Capt. J. A? Cook Koplles to I). J. M.
MHII Has fi Bight io ft Reason
able Opinion.
KiuToitB COUIUKH: Your corrospond
unt (D. J. M.) ?B a little mistaken wkou
}io says "wo admit that all mon have a
right to thoir opinion." Wo think wo
only said that wo aupposod your corres
pondent from Kuturu had tho samo
right to his opinion as wo havo to ours.
Hut wo will nay now that neither of UB,
nor any other man, lins a right to an
opinion unlcsB that opiuiou is a roaaon
ablo ono. Now, wo aro glad to know
that when wo say that seven avorago
bales of cotton cannot bo grown on ono
aero of land that we spoak tho senti
ments of nino-toutha of tho farming
olasB of pooplo in our country. D. J. M.
aays "tho idea is net to increase tho
numbor of bales." Now, if wo plaut tho
limbless varioty of cotton aud make
seven bales por aoro instead of one-half
hale how does ho expect to prevent ail
increase unless WO could reduce thc
acrcago? This is hardly probable. D.
J. M. is obliged to know thatovory offorl
tho farmers havo mado to roduco tho cot
ton acrcago in thc South lias boon a mis
ciahlc failure and results in au iuoroast
instead of a doproaso.
X>, J. M. tolls us that Thomas P. Hill
of Georgia, planted this limbless varioty.
Ile admits that it growod fourteen foo
high and mado three bales por aoro
Well, now, according to his own stato
mont, tho sum is put to UB in this shape
If an nero of land, planted in cotton, an<
tho cotton grow fourtcon foot high
makiug tb roo bales, thou how higl
would it have to grow to make BOVOI
Indes'.' AB WO havo never boon to achoo
much wo aro not good on a calculation
though it would probably havo to gro\
moro than thirty foot high, whioh w<
think is an impossibility. Wo hopo ?om
school boy will work this Bum for us.
Now wo aro not sui prised, nor me
mori/.od, at tho recent ndvauco in th
price of cotton. This is an old dodge c
tho speculators, simply to induco th
farmers to plant another largo crop o
cotton. Tho ad vaneo in prices alway
comes after tho cotton ?B out of tb
hands of th? farmer. No bonoflt n<
crues to tho mon who made tho cottoi
but only to tho speculators. No ono i
to blame for this state of affairs oxcor
the farmer. Every man is procisoly whl
he has mado himself, and Ins conditio
is just ns ho bas mado it.
In tho summer, after our crops ba\
been about half cultivated and layed-b;
we sit around in tho shade, oat wato
melons, let forty or llfty bales of ti
host kind of hay fall down and rot in tl
Held, and tho next winter wo havo to bti
hay to feed our cattlo on or nearly gr
thom away, because wo havo nothing i
feed them on.
In tho winter timo, when wo ought I
be hauling leaves, trash, otc, makii
compost for our next crop, wo aro stam
lng around tho grocery stores, talkii
about hard times, cotton problems, prii
of guano, etc., when, in reality, lhere
no cotton problem, nor hard times. J
to tho cotton problem, just any comino
sense man, if bo will only think a littl
can seo tho wholo trouble and solutio
Just any of us can remember only u fe
years sinco when wo only mado six m
lion bales of cotton and wo got ten
twelve cents per pound for it, ami nc
we make twelve million bales and >
only get four and livo cents per pom
for it, heneo wo Bee wo don't got
much money for tho twelve million bal
as we got for six million bales.
Now, does it not seem roal down-rig
foolish for tho people to make six m
lion bales of cotton just to give away
a lot of speculators.
Our friend, J. W. Sbelor, not lo
since, offered to sell us ono hundr
bushels of corn for sixty dollars caf
and we aro obliged to acknowledge ji
here that he is tho only editor ,vo ev
knew who had corn to sell. Hut no
supposo he bad told us that be wot
rather Rive us two hundred bushels I
sixty dollars than one hundred ; of coin
wo would have taken it; but wo woi
have thought bo was a very strange nu
Now, this is precisely tho way tho far
ors are doing. They rather givo t
speculators twelve million bales of c
ton than six millions for the same amor
of money.
Aa to tho hard times, we know mos
matters aro tight. Wo have no mom
simply because wo have mado nono, a
wo cannot reasonably expect other ni
to make it and givo it to UB. Tho roan
wo have not made money is simply I
causo wo have been sponding all of (
time making cotton at a prioo below
actual cost. Under these cireumstam
wo think our condition is as good as
could reasonably oxpect. This is alu
tho best country in tho world nitor i
K very thing is cheap, people can livo lr
cheaper than any whore olso.
Soveral days tho first of last, wcok
had ice cream almost without cost. (
cow g.'ivo ns tho cream, Cod sont us 1
ice, and a first-class freezer from I
Northeast, and wo only had to mix t
llavor to suit our tasto. Hut wo B
don't believe thoro is ono acre of lam!
our whole Stato that will make so<
average bales of cotton.

TUE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
[ofOO?wl CuUOBpOudOUCO. j
Cor.UMuiA, S. C., February 21, -1800.
Tho General Assembly has hoon run
ning unctor high pressure for tho past
wook or mori. Tho prohibition bill of
Mr. McCullough, of ti icon vii io, wa? killed
by a large majority. Aud tho local op
tion measuro of Kx-Lloutonant Governor
Mauldiu followed in quick succossion,
aud was also killod. Tho advorse action
of tho HOUBO on th c?o two propositions
seems to havo determined tho BOUBO of
tho body that there was to ba no mate
rial chango of tho policy of tho Stato for
tho present on the whish'oy problom.
It itr true that tho Senate passed tho bill
of Sonator Archer to submit tho question
of "dispensary" or "so dispensary" to
tho voters of the several counties of tho
State, but coming over from tho Senate
it was never reached on tho House Calen
dar and in common with nil other bills
unconsidered, wan continued over until
noxt session.
Af tm a hard struggle I succeeded in
get t lng tho bill to exempt Oconoo County
from tho special provisions of tho dis
pensary law allowing tho establishment
of dispensaries in .Seneca and Walhalls
without a vote of tho citizens, through
tho House, but this measuro Bout over to
tho Sonato, was, on motion of Sonatot
Aloxandor, -continued, and justice am
equality is thoroby denied ta our peoph
for tho present, although wo wore mulei
tho impression that our Senator was full}
lu accord with tho spirit of this bill t<
put prohibition count ios on an oqualit;
with all other counties of tho Stato, am
to roliovo thom from an unjust discrimi
nation. It is bolioved that tho friends o
tho dispensary by their unfairness nm
persistency in forcing this measuro upoi
tho pooplo of tho State without tho voie
of tho votoi'B aro but "heaping up wratl
against tho day of wrath."
It ?B impracticable for mo to givo ovoi
a briof roviow of all tho measures whlol
havo boon rushed through tho Lcgislii
turo during these Inst days of tho sossior
Thoro havo boon some very importan
measures passed which will bocomo law
Not tho least among theso is tho Act t
regulato fire insuranco and to provon
combinations and tariff associations opt
rating in tho State. For yoars thia Stat
has felt tho effeots of tho arbitrary rate
of tho S. K. Tarriff Association, wide
this Act is intended to provont.
Tho Act to prevent monoplics in th
business of telephone and tolegrnp
companies In this Stato, by providing
method whereby competing lines an
companioB may seeuro tho right of a wa
for their wires along tho railroad lines i
Ll)?H Stato, wc hopo will promoto tli
publie interest.
Tho Act providing for tho granting <
charters to railroad, canal and stcai
boat companies by tho Secretary of Stat
wo boliovo to bo a wiso and cconom
measure, and if rightly and wisely ai
ministered will save tho Stato thousani
of dollars annually, for as you havo sc(
from tho report of our Loglslativo pr
cccdlngs, those railroads and other ii
corporations havo tho right of way
tho Goneral Assembly, and consumo a
nually alargo part of tho time and r
tention of tho Assembly at very boa
oxponso to tho Stato, and horoaftor
hope wo shall no longer bo called upi
to grant theso cha. tors, as many of thc
after tboy have secured from tho Stn
theso valuable franchises, do not f
years build thoir roads. Theso aro on
a few of the important measures onactc
which wo hopo will promoto tho pub
good.
Tho bill to exempt a certain portion
Oconco county fi om tho operation of t
general stock law will become au A
and wo hope will provo satisfactory.
Since tho former report, our dolegati
bas raised tho tax levy for Oconco, a
it will bo as follows: for ordinary cour
purposes, 2) mills; for past indebted ne
1$ mills; for court fund, 1 mill; 1

Behool and Stato purposes, makes

Oovornor EUorbo is still quite ill, 1

Wo expect tho Assembly to adjou

tho Sonato has re called and still hoi
tho concurrent resolution fixing tin*-,
the day of final adjournment as n. matt
of pr?caution, but think they will roto
