During a circus exhibition at MountAiry N. C., on Tuesday last the seatsCareened and precipated the entirecrowd of at least 1,500 people, splin¬tered seats; timbers, ¿c., to the groundin one heap, amid the wildest excite¬ment. Many men, women and chil¬dren were seriously injured.The Massachusetts Democrats under

Butler's leadership came very near in¬corporating a female suffrage plank intheir platform. This is not surprising.Nothing that Massachusetts could doought to astonish any one. Its historyis marked with the grossest inconsisten¬cies. -

The N. Y. Democratic State Conven¬tion last Friday nominated -Grover

I Cleveland, Mayor of Buffalo, for Gov¬ernor on the third ballot. The Tammanyand the Irving Hall délégations partici¬pated in the proceedings and have a re¬

presentation on the new State Commit-tee.The Republicans endorsed the Green-

backers in their Conventions as was

predicted. Their leaders say that theGreenbackers will.give them a fair elec¬tion nest time, and that the Republi¬cans will carry the State. It is there¬fore evident that any man who votes theGreenback ticket now, is voting to turnthe State over to the Republicans nexttime.-Anderson Intelligencer.The people of this country have

been taxed since November, 1, 1881,to pay off the war debt to the tuneof $129,035,000. This is the reduc¬tion up to September 1, 1882. Since1865, the people have been taxed to

pay upon the debt $943,336,544.> Porty per cent, has been paid. And

all of this huge sum besides hundredsof millions annually to run a corruptgovernment.

T< Under seven years of Radical Rule inSouth Carolina $14,840,000 was col¬lected for State and county taxes. Thiswas an average of $2,120,000 eachyear;: Under four years of Democraticrote $£973,000waa collected for StateánoV- county taxes-an average of$1,743,250 or $376,750 for each year.In four years the Democrats saved tothe tax-payers $1,507,000.A singular thing occurred at Ameri¬

cas, Ga., during the late storm. Thewells of the entire neighborhood were

blown dry. These wells, up to thetime of the gale, were full of water andunfailing. The explanation of this re¬

markable occurrence is the existence ofsubterranean passages, and the violentagitation on the surface opened chan¬nels of escape for the water.

The African Explorer, Mr. Stanley,has completed his last great expeditionand bas reached civilization again. Heis at Lisbon. For some years-somethree we think-he has been pursuingbis last journeyings amid the wilds ofthe Dark Continent. How much ofreal importance attaches to his last ex¬

plorations remains to be revealed by thedistinguished traveller.

There has been almost a revolutionin the political situation in the Northin the last week. All the signs pointto the election of the Democratic ticketin New York andPennsylvannia, to befollowed by the election of a Democra¬tic President in 1884. The revoltagainst Jay Gouid ism, Bossism, andRadical corruption and centralization ingeneral is sprsadiog fast, and after the4th March, 1883, the House of Repre¬sentatives will be Democratic.The funeral obsequies of the late

Ber. Claudian B. Northrop of Charles¬ton, S. C., took place on Sunday morn¬

ing at St. Mary's, Church, in thatcity, at 10 o'clock. The altar andchurch were tastefully draped in mourn¬

ing. The remains lay in state near tiieentrance to tte altar, encased in a rose¬

wood casket, with a glass half top,which was covered with fragrant flow¬ers. During the whole of Saturdayhundreds visited the church, both Cath¬olics and non-Catholics, and viewed thebody. Guards of honor were stationedat the front door of the church and near

the casket, and guided the throng 33

tiley passed in single file, in and out,as they viewed the last mortal remnantsof the beloved good man.

No striking change has taken placein the Egyptian situation during the

week. The English are pushing on to

complete and secure their conquest.Large numbers of the Egyptian troopshave surrendered. Most of the popu¬lation about the scene of the recent con¬

flict have returned to their homes, andare working in the fields. The for¬bearance of the British army has had a

wholesome effect in assisting the returnof peace. The telegraphic censuresbiphas been abolished. It is said that theambassadors at Constantinople expressconfidence in the policy of England withregard to Egypt, and advise the Porteto act in accord with her. The ques¬tion of the Anglo-Turkish military con¬vention is considered at an end.

The Campaign Meeting.Although the attendance from the

country on last Friday, was muchsmaller than was expected, the meet¬

ing iu other respects was quite a

success. We are i eel ined to think theslim attendance was due to the busytime of cotton-picking, rather than to

indifference on the part of our countryfriends. Three large funerals, in dif¬ferent portions of the county, also pre¬vented many from being here. It was,

therefore, no evidence of lukewarmnessnor opposition, as the independentsmaintain. The speeches, which were

received with much enthusiasm, were

conservative, and the remarks with re¬

ference to disaffection in the county didnot exhibit a spirit of reproof, but rath¬er of warning and regret, the speakerssetting forth the dangers attending too

great an effort for the promotion of per¬sonal interests when incompatible withthe welfare of thc party. Encouragedby the enthusiasm which has every¬where greeted them, and aware of theweakness of the Green backers, so clear¬ly evinced by their State ticket, thenominees were confident of victoryin November. The encouraging re¬

ports from all over the State and the for¬cible arguments put forth by the speak¬ers gave increased zeal to the Democracypresent. j

The Black Convention.

The Congressional Convention of the !seventh district which has been in ses- jsion at Summerville for several days jpast has thus far accomplished notbiug.The three contestants, Lee, Mackey andSmalls are neither strong enough to

gain the nomination, and each seems

stubbornly determined to freeze the oth¬ers out. On Saturday Lee seemed tohave scored a victory as follows : Theroll was called. Sam Green of Beau¬fort demanded from Lee an explicit de¬nial or an acquiesence io» a statement

previously published in the News andCourier to the effect that he would run,whether he received the nomination or

not.Lee stated that he saw in this capti¬

ons dcrabt as to bis loyalty and fealtyto the Republican party only anotherpositive proof of the efforts of his two

opponents to vote him out of the Con¬vention. As to the statement, he said,he did not ask for its publication andwould neither deny or admit it as a

matter of fact.George F. Heriot, of Sumter, then

got up and said that he would not begagged by the *'unholy alliance" thatwaa attempting to dictate to the Con¬vention, and proposed that it would bein order that all the candidates shouldbe heard from before Lee should commithimself to a line of action by which theother candidates might not be bound.

Smalls then rose and gave his guar¬antee that he would abide by tbe nomi¬nation, and promised the 6,000 votes ofBeaufort for the nominee of the Conven¬tion.Mackey was then called out and in

lieu of a pledge offered the followingresolution :

Resolved, That the candidates whoare now or who may be hereafter beforethis Convention be and they are herebypledged unequivocally to support who¬ever may be nominated by this Conven¬tion.

This resolution was passed, with thefollowing amendment : "Provided,however, that the nomination be madefairly and honestly."

This amendment was violently op¬posed by the Berkeley and Beaufortdelegations, and was passed 21 to 19.On the 138th ballot Sam Butler, of

Col leton, a Smalls delegate, cast hisvote for Mackey, giving him a total ofsixteen votes. Necessary to a choicetwenty.On the announcement of this ballot

several delegates of the Smalls and Leefactions made bitter speeches denounc¬ing Mackey's raid into thc SeventhDistrict.

After an ineffectual effort to adjou0sine die, the ballotiog was continueduntil 142 ballots bad been taken.The Convention finally adjourned over

until Monday, and, upon inquiry at12 M. to-day, (Tuesday,) if any decis¬ion has been reached, those of the par¬ty in Sumter who would most probablyhave been informed by telegraph, saythat they have no information.

Cotton planters do not generally real¬ize the Hogs and peculations betweenthem and the consumer. First, theband iron bale tie rings, represented bystock companies, with millions of capi¬tal on which they pay enormous divi¬dends. They sell the planter heavy,expensive patent hoop iron bands whena quarter of the cost would securelybind the cotton with neat steel wirebands. Then the cotton factor, or

second ring, requires that the planterput up his cotton in loose, ungainlybales, in order, as they say, to sampleit, but really to permit them to stealimmense quantities of cotton from thebales, so that some of them sell from$5,000 to $10,000 worth of samplesannually. Then the bales go to therepress or compress ring, which isusually a combination of factors, or oth¬er middle men, and here the cotton croppays annually about $5,000 more.

Then the cotton passes on, may be,through the bands of another ring, whofatten on it, and finally reaches thehands of thc distributing merchant inBaltimore, New York, Boston, or

Liverpool, by which time the bales are

badly soiled by dirt, mud, and rain, byreason of their ungainly size, carelesshandling and storage, and they arc now

not unfrequently treated toa bath by roll¬ing them through the penetrating slushand mud that usually covers the wharves

of these large cities. From the wharfthe bales are carted to some dirty backstorage street, where tbey are againdamped into the street slash and rolledthrough it into the store-house, bywhich time they are ready for the in¬spector, who now takes each bale inband, cuts the coverings so that he can

and does pick the soiled cotton from theentire outside of the bale until it is as

white and clean as lint from the gin,and generally picks deep enough so

that the trimmings look nearly as whiteas the bale. These pickings are theinspector's spoils. The bale is now

resampled, which means another stealof cotton, then reweighed, the weight ofthe covering and bands deducted, andthe net weight of the cotton marked on

it, and the consumer buys .at thisweight.-Hay, Strarc and Grain Re¬porter.- < II »-

Horrible Suicidal Tragedy.

As the passenger train from Rich¬mond to Greensboro, N. C., on Sundaymorning, was about fifty miles fromRichmond, steaming away at twenty-five miles an hour, the engineer andfireman saw just ahead of them a man ofmiddle tage, genteelly dressed in blackclothes walking along the fill jost out¬side the left band rail and moving inthe direction of the train. Supposingthat the stranger would step still fartheraside in time for the engine to pass theengineer gave no alarm but was look¬ing steadily at the man ; when the en¬

gine came in about, fifty feet of him beturned soddenly around facing thetrack, placed each of his hands on theends of cross-ties and knelt down, thenplaced his head directly on the rail andfolded his hands on his back, and inthis position allowed the train to come

upon him and sever bis head from bisbody. The train was stopped as soon as

possible, and the passengers all ran backto see the body. There it lay a ghastly,headless trunk, bleeding and mangled.The brain complete, as if pressed wholefrom the sk all, lay about five feet off,about one third of the scalp with thehair upon it was close by, while portionsof the skull bone were scattered forthirty yards. An examination of theclothes discovered two letters addressedto him as Howard Nance. He appear¬ed from these letters to have beenformerly, in 1881, a citizen of Oregon,and a railroad man. His purse was

empty but there was 55 cents in silverin his packet. There were two finephotographs in bis side pocket, one of a

beautiful well-dressed girl seeminglyabout eighteen, and a youngman oftwenty-five. On inquiry at Burkevilleit was ascertained that he came to thatplace on the day previous and acted verystrangely and then got upon the trainand was put off for want of a ticket.This was the last seen of him until helaid his head upon the rail and endedhis melancholy life. His body was sent

by the train to Amelia Court Hoase forinquest and burial.-Greensboro Pa¬triot.

Greenback and Blackback.

After a very stormy session pf two

days in Columbia last week, the Repub¬lican Convention agreed to endorse theState ticket nominated by the Green-backers, repudiating, however, thefinancial heresies of their allies. It isa variegated combination, and is en¬

gineered by Federal officials and a num¬ber of the old hacks who robbed us inthe days of Scott, Moses and Chamber¬lain. It would be an eternal disgraceto South Carolina should her peopleallow this sore-bead group of cranks to

capture the State government. The"true inwardness" of this infamouscoalition is thus explained by a Radical :

"We support the Greenbackers in thecampaign of 1S82, and in 1884 we willsweep the State with the assistance ofoar allies and ran the machine to suitourselves."' The Democrats can breakup this pretty little game by standingsolidly at the backs of their leaders.They will do it.-Hampton Guardian.

"From Twenty-five Cents Up."And now comes a cry from McLane

and bis co-laborers : "Come over intoMacedonia aad help us" with contribu¬tions of money from twenty-five cents

upwards ! This is really two bard on

the "poor men" in the Stete. Is thisthe way io wbioh McLane and the oth¬er prophets propose to fulfill theirpromise to give political salvation to thepeople "without money and withoutprice ?" It is bad enough that the"poor man" should be deceived by theGreenback leaders, but that he shouldbe asked to surrender some of his hardearned money to keep these office-hun¬ters in easy circumstances, when every¬body knows that they are the liberallypaid tools of J. Hubbeirs campaigncommittee in Washington, savors verystrongly of impudence as well as in¬justice -Georgetown Enquirer.The following tragedy was enacted near

George's station on the S. C. Railroad :

Between 2 and 3 o'clock on Sundaynight, the 17th inst, Daniel McClellan,colored, who has long suspected hiswife of being criminally intimate withHenry Lee, caught the duskey twainseated by the roadside a short distancefrom his residence. He gave her a

sound whipping, aod then proceeded to

whip Lee, who all the while stood near

by. Lee drew a pistol and fired twiceat McClellan, one of the balls enteringhis body in the region of the heart, andproducing death. A number of coloredpeople soon collected from neighboringhouses, but Lee had disappeared. TrialJustice Reed has notified the authori¬ties of Charleston, Columbia and else¬where, of the crime, and it is veryprobable that Lee will soon be appre¬hended. The negroes, generally were

very much excited on Monday, andthreats of lynching the murderer were

freely indulged in.- mm-

In Hot Springs, Ark., last FridayCharles Matthews, editor of the Hornet,was shot four times and killed in au

affray with Col S. W. Fordice, vice-president of the St. Louis and TexasNarrow Guage Railroad Company, andCol. Rugg, one of the proprietors of theArlington Hotel. . It is not knownwhether Fordice or Rugg fired the fatalshot. The fight grew out of a bitternewspaper coutroversey over local af¬fairs.

An unknown man on Friday nightlast sat down near the telegraph officeat Newport, 111., deliberately tore up a

large amount of paper money, tossedan empty pocketbook and linen bag on

thc track, and soon after disappeared.It is supposed that the crank committedsuicide. With the exception of a sin¬gle one 'dollar note, the torn moneyconsisted of fives and tens, and it issupposed the total amount will reach$1,000.

Representative John S. Richardson,of the first South Carolina District, isnot one of the disaffected. Apparently,the few greenbackers io his vincinitythought that he was, for not long agotheir "State secretary" generously in¬vited him to "run as an Independent-Democrat in the Sixth District." In re¬

ply he has written a manly and out¬spoken letter, declining in most em¬

phatic terms, and declaring that his dutyto his State and bis conscience will notsuffer him to do anything against hisown party. Consequently, the Green-backers now will have to bunt up some¬

body like Chalmers.- Washington Post.

A traveller was leaning at nightagainst a railing at the Harper's Ferryrailroad station. A locomotive came

along and he sprang lightly over therail to escape possible danger. Hethought it was a meadow on the otherside, but knew his mistake when hestruck in a muddy stream forty feetbelow. On being rescued he was askedhis name. 4I wouldn't tell you for a

thousand dollars,' he replied ; 'describeme simply as a fool.'

Hundreds have learned that" mould¬ing public opinion" is a mighty poorbusiness. Moulding 'stove-lids payimuch better, and don't cause half thewear and tear on the moulder's system.A good many people think newspaperwork is just as easy as falling down onice or finding a girl's lips in the darkWe used to think so ourself, but thatwas when we were a bigger fool thanwe are now.-Florence Times*

A most diabolical and fiendish actwas perpetrated on some of our cjtizeoslast week. Last Wednesday nightsome one entered the stables of Mr G.P. Nelson and deliberately cut out theentrails of his horse. A night or twobefore Mr. J. M. Pendergrass bad hisnag's throat cut but fortunately notdeep enough to be serious, and a fewweeks ago Jos. F. Blakely had hishorse cut in the face with a hatchet.Every effort ought to be made to bringthe guilty to justice.- WilliamsburgHerald.

(PATENTED.)Ten Reasons why the "KNOCKABOUT" is the best Suit now

in the market for Boys7 wear.

I.-Because the "KNOCKABOUTS" are made from double warp and double-nnd-twist,unbearable and wear-resisting fabrics.

Tl.-Because the '"KNOCKABOUTS" are trimmed in the most substantial manner, none

bot indestructible materials in thread, linings, buttoos, Ac., being used in theirmanufacture.

III.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" Pants are made with our Patented "Cavalry Knee,"thereby insuring the greatest durability.

IT.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" fabric being a light color is not objectionable, as manysuppose, for it is ia.reality a neutral shade which will not soil easily, and will notshow the dust-

V.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" as its name implies, is a neat, serviceable outfit, and*is well calculated to stand any amount of rough usage. .

VI.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" is produced solely to supply a want of an honestwearing, substantially made BOY'S SUIT at the low price of $5.00.

VII.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" has proved an inestimable blessing to every Fatherwho hag to buy, and every Mother who has to mond, the clothing of the irrepressibleboy of the period.

VIII-Because of the above given reasons the "KNOCKABOUT" Suits commend themselvesto the taste, judgment and pocket of those to whom the amount of money expendedduring the year for Boys' Clothing is no inconsiderable item.

IX.-Because, since ''nothing succeeds like success," the great success of the '"KNOCKA¬BOUT" tbus far proves it to be just the.Sui: that was needed for Hors' wear.

X.-Because knock-about as much as you will, nothing will bc found to knock the"KNOCKABOUT" Suit that is manufactured for
