WIIAT THE POLITICIANS ARE
TALKING ABOUT.
THE POLITICAL CALMtOX.
Mr. John Gray Bynum, of Mor
ganton, will be a candidate for
postmaster of the next House of
Representative?. '
The politicians of Indiana are
hard at work making tickets for
188. Democrats are for the old
ticket or for McDonald aud Hew
itt. Republicans for Arthur,
Gresham or Sherman.
The New York "Sun" is an ac
commodating sOrt of a paper. It
not only nominates a' ticket for the
Republicans next year thus:
For President James Gillespie
Blame, of Augusta.
For Vice President John Alex
ander Logan, of Chicago.
But also supplies the platform
thus :
Platform Let the-Eagle Scream!
Senator Colquitt, of Georgia,
who has just retiu ued from New
York, says he is satisfied, from his
.own observation and from conver
sation with gentlemen from all
parts of the country, that the ouly
thiug for the Democrats to do is to
re-noininate the old ticket of Til
den and Hendricks. He says the
opinion on this point was almost
literally unanimous, and he thinks
the late election makes the nomina
tion of Mr. Tilden an imperative
necessity.
The Philadelphia "Record,'' a re
markably able independent paper,
observes: '-With New York as the
pivotal State 'next year the Demo
crats have a decided advantage.
As the vote of Philadelphia is used
to swing the State of Pennsylvania
into the Bepublican column, so the
vote of New York city may be used
by the Democrats. The magnifi
cent Femocratic majority in New
York city, when its vote is polled,,
cannot be overcome by the Repub
lican vote of the rural districts."
'I'h-. ICiiiii :)! It I'owrr.
Whatever may be the resiilt of
the voting for Secretary of the
Siate, one feature of the contest for
that office will be as a fire set in a
dry forest. We allude to the shame
less appearance in politics of the
rum and beer power, openly striking
at a candidate for Secretary of
State on the ground that he has
dared to vote for limiting the rav
ages of the giant evil of modern
times by restrictive legislation.-

(Ind.")
TW Outlook for ltsl.
The result of the election of Tues
day is to add largely to the number
of States in which the presidential
conte t of 1884 may be expected to
be close or doubtful. Virginia has
Ihmmi added to the Democratic col
umn making the South again sdlid,
and creating a firm basis of tr3
electoral votes on which to begin
calculations for the 201 needed to
elect. New-Jersey has just dem
onstrated that she may fairly be
relied upon to cast her 1 votes in
1H84 for the Democratic candidate.
California may be expected, with
some confidence perhaps, to add
her 8 votes, brinariug the total of
tolerably cu tainVotes for -1884 up
to 170. Of the other States w hich
are commonly reckoned Democrat
; u and whiHl in 182 or Iitte ave
Democratic majorities Connecti
cut on Tuesday last apparently
commit ted hefvtdf to the Republican
cause, but apparently only. There
remain Indiana with 1.1 votes, Ne
vada with 3, Ohio with 2.1 and New
York with Xti, from which to draw
the- S votes required, in addition
to those of the South, New Jersey
' and 'Cufiforiiia, to make the 201
needed under the last appoition-
; incut. .In view of the Jailing Dem-
oeiatic niajorities of November 0 in
New York, Connecticut and other
Northern States, all the States just
, mentioued will be most' - safely ac-
i counted doubtful. Should Ohio and
Indiana go Democratic and Neva-
j da and New York Repu ilican the
Democrats would havei more ;than
enough votes to elect a Democratic
President. Ou the other haud, if
New York should go Democratic no
votes would be required from either
Indiana or Ohio. In brief, Demo
cratic success iii 1884 w ould seem
to require absolutely, 'apart from
victories not to be expected, that
New York should go Democratic,
J or in default of that, both Indiana
) and Ohio, and. in addition to these,
1 of Northern or Pacific States the
following: New Jersey and Cali
fornia. There is a fighting -chance
in all these States. Less of the
self-confidence which operated so
; badly in some States ou Tuesday
I and more hard w ork may enable
j the Democrats to wm these States
' and perhaps others. There is cer
', tainly no eause for democratic dis
; couragemeiit.- "Baltimore Sun,

A Modern Miracle, -
Rev. A. D. Cohen, in a letter to
the Biblical Recorder, tells about a
miracle that is jsaid to have been
wrought at Haywood, in this
State, as follows:
"During an interesting revival
in 182, Mr. Wm. Drake's wife was
converted and received to baptism
by the New Hope Baptist church.
This enraged the feelings of her
husband, and he r.ffiruied that he
Avould shoot Mr. Hicks t f he drown
ed his wife (a thing he was fear
ful of). When the baptism took
place lie followed, them into the
water to a considerable depth. But
God blessed the ordinance to his
conviction- He went home ami
took his bed sick- ; After, sonic time
he sent for Mr. Hicks who preach
ed in Vis house, and after which
Mr. Drake expressed .adesi re to
be baptized. lie was received then
and there when Mr. Hicks said be
would attend to his baptism to
morrow. Mr. Drake said, no, not,
to-morow, I want it done to-night.
Torches were provided, and unable
to walk he was carried down to the
river and 'was baptized '.by torch
light. After being brought up out
of the water, he felt able and walk
ed home. . v -- '. -
A Bird AligMs on a Bride's Snouider.
An incident w orthy of note occur
red here to-day during the nuptial
ceremonies, at the Catholic Church,
of Mr. James Knowles, a police
man, and Miss Maggie lirenan, of
this place. When the bride and
groom had taken their places, and
the groomsman aud bridesmaid
were taking their position, a bird
flew into the church aud alighted
upon the head of the bridesmaid,
Miss Mary Brcnan, a sister of the
bride. The bird then fiew to an
other part of the church, and, flut
tering a moment above the head of
Mrs. Breuan; mother of the. bride,
rested upon her head ; then, flying,
it settled upon the shoulder of the
bride and remained there during
the ceremony, and then took its
flight through the open- window.
Whatever the mission of rhe unin
vited feathery guest, or whether it
had a mission, or what omen -, good
or ill, the incident is true and
vouched for by scores who 'saw it.

very true and sensible iaragradi:
"While I was at Winchester my
fatlier's affairs went from bad to
w orse. He gave up his practice at
the bar, and unfortunate man that
he was, f ook another farm. 1 1 is odd
that a man should conceive and,
in this case, a highly educated and
a very clever man that farming
should be a business in which he
might make money without any
special education or apprenticeship.
Perhaps of all trades it is the one
in which an accurate knowledge of
what things should be done aud the
best-manner of doing them, is most
necessary- And it is one also for
success in which a sufficient capital
is indispensable. He had no knowl
edge and, when he took this second
farm, no capital. This was the last

TIIE SOUTHERN STAPLE.
-A. machine for picking cotton in
the field has just been completed
and recently tested at Sumter, S.
C. Practical farmers say that
it is destined to create a revolu
tion in the agriculturalists of the
cotton States. A syndicate, of
Charleston men have purchased a
controlli.ig interest in the patents,
and the machines will be put upon
the market for sale or lease next
season. A charter has been secur
ed, ,and the company will be organ
ized within a few days and the nec
essary capital furnished to enable
the rapid manufacture of the ma
chines. :
THE INVENTOR.
The inventor of the machiuM is
Charles T. Mason, Jr., a native of
Sumter, S. C, and a master ma
chinist of extraordinary skill and
ingenuity. He is at this time only
twenty-eiyut years of age.
THE FIRST IDEA.
As curly1 as 1874 Mi.- Mason con
ceived the idea of constructing a
machine for the harvesting- ot cot
ton which would take the place of
j the slow and expensive process of
i picking the staple hv hand. At-
tempts had lieen made to construct
such a machine as early as 1S."4,
but bad prove t futile, owing to the
apparently insuperable obstacles
in the way. As ia well known to
! every one acquainted with the
I growing of cotton, . tlie bolts con
I ruining the staple open at different
i times, and on different portions of
the-plant at the same time. Thus
i there are open bolls, ready to In-
picked, green unopen tolls, blooms
and embrjo bolls (known as
"forms'') on the plant at one aud
the same time. The requirements,
therefore, of a machine for harve.st
inir cotton are that it shall he so
constructed as to discriminate be-
; tween the open cotton and the uno
pen lo!ls, blooms and forms. ' That
is to say that the machine shall be
able to ick out the cotton from the
open bolls without ir.juring the
green bolls, blooms and forms,
without tearing the foliage ofi the
dant and without licking Avith the
staple any trash or dead particles
of the plant which may lower the
grade of the cotton. To accomplish
such a task by mere machinery
seems to be au impossibility, and in
fac-. ui to the construction of the
! machiUe now described, out of near-
y one hundred patents granted for
Till OOD'S. (Ml Till TIIV -
to warrant -.their
.'manufacture
use. ...
yiIAT THE MAt HIXE WILL DO. '
A staff reporter for the- 'News
and Courier" saw the machine test
ed in a cotton field "on- Mr. Mason's
place at Sumter a few days ago.
and although the cotton was very
wet-from the' long spell" ot wet
weather and had been open ready
for picking for the last six weeks,
the machine, which was operated
by one horse and one man, harvest
ed cotton at the rate of 200 Huinds
an hour, which would W at the rate
of 2,000 pounds a working day of
ten hours. Mr. Mason is by no
means satisfied with the present
capacity of the machine and chang
es are now being made which, it is
believed, will increase its capacity
to about -1,000 pounds of eed cot
ton a day, which is .-equivalent to
tnree oaiesol lintL it can lie very
easily "seen, even bv one- unfamiliar
with machinery, that the proposed
changes will increase the picking
capacity of the machine. Whether
it will harvest thice bales of cotton!
a day remains to be proved. Strik j
ing a fair average and putting the!
capacity at two bales a day. any i
cotton planter who is subject to the ;
mtolerab e trials and enormous ex-
lumen rtt li'ivi-.-cf- tii.wi will . .... lO. .

WHAT Till'. MACHINE WILL COST.
It is difficult at this time to state
what the machines will cost, as the
price put upon them will depend
very much upon the capacity that
is attaiued tlnit is to say, upon
the quantity of cotton that each
machine will harvest in a day. It
will be the effort of the syndicate,
if the machines are sold outright,
to place them at such a figure that
they can be paid for jn one season
by the saving to the cot ton planter
in the cost of harvesting his crop.
It may be, however, that tiie policy
of those controlling the patents will
lie to lease the machines. These
are matters which - the company
will determine later. In the mean
while every nerve will le strained
to make the machines perfect.

I For the An vance. - -
AKIch Man's Wealtn-Whai Shall He
Do With it.
This question was addressed to
me in a letter from a peisonal
friend, w ho, I think, is going to
He a very rich man, with the de
sire that I-should answer it. My
whole reply can be put iu a soli-
i tary sentence: A rich man should
I do with his wealth what a 'poor
I man should do witli his. namely,
I get the good of it.
-Wealth docs not always mean
money, It sometimes means pros
perity, -'happiness, 'and well doing.
But in any sense of the term", I ad
hcie to my answer. If the lucre
money were the thing in the cc
of in v friend when he wrote
his
oucfction. mv answer sti
holds
good. ', '.;. . 1
A poor noiii has some, money, a
prosperous man has more money,
a millionaire ' has exceed iugly j
.much.' Now I hen- is one rule i
; which should govern each. -'Each
must consider the capabilities
then are in mom y, and each must
devote his intellect to the discov
ery of how-he can so employ these
capabilities as to get the very
greatest possible good out of it.
To do that, it is very plain, iu
the first place, that money must be
iwi-il I'mised moiii'V is iu.st as
valueless as any other uiiusimI thing.
A million of, dollars laid away in a
safe are just as useless as a million
of jvennies, or a million of wafers,
or a million sand grains. In none
of hee cases there growth for
the future. In none of thee cases
is there utility tor the present.
It has se Ciucd to me that money
is very miich'like the water in the
skin-bags- which a travelW car
ries on his journey across the
desert. Iff may spill the w hole hi
the sands w here it can never be
gathered up; or, he may scud all
his bags of water untouched to the
place which he. set out to reach.
In both cases he' may perish iu the
wiltjerness. There is a third thing
he may do He may use if all

doing the one or the other. If he
'be- a prudent man he will use his

and thus get tho whole goinl out
of all that he starts with,

!"ey,
i But no man can have lived in
, .1. .. . ,..1.1
the world without discovering that
the greatest enjoyments which a
man can possibly: have are not
those-which consist in taking care
of himself, great as they are, but
in what he does for others. If there
were no higher motive than the
purest and best selflove, a man
l'ould spend much of his time
and much of his money in con
j sidel ing and siqiplying the wauta
of others; but he who has never
done that has never known life's
highest rapture. lie has only
known what the sleek and petted
horse in Ji is -stable has enjoyed
Men of wealth ought to '.take
time to consider how they arte" to
spend their -money; whereas, it
secnis to me, that in a large ma
jority of cases the only question
they consider is how to increase
their money. There is a moral re
sponsibility connected with all
possessions. A man must answer
to 'God as well for evry dollar of
his money as for every minute of
his t inuv It does not seem to me
that the wisest way is for a man
to spend all his lifetime accumu
lating immense estate which lie
iufends shall go into lienevoicnt
work after his death, and then
transfer the whole responsibiht v
of the management of those estates
to the shoulder of others, after his
death, by a few sentences written
jii iris will. He fails to discharge
the duty of managing his money.
lie fails to have that most divine
joy of seeing his self-sacrifice pro
duce blessings for others.
Nor Should a rich man, say "I;have
accumulated a very great deaf of
monev; I will si t aiart enough to
carry me through lite, and then I
will give the balame away;" and
having, s said, commence to give
to every begga'- that conies, and
simply case his conscience by rtl-
owing others to ease linn 01 ins
iiioiicy. that would not only lie
foolish, but-jf would 1h' absolutely
criminal. It would be that premi
Din on incndicancy w hich so many
easy, lazy people now make, with
tiie thought that they ar.- liberal.
A man should think where each
thousand dollars will do the most
good, not .si iii ply. in relieving the
pressing immediate wants of those
about him. but iu oiening fountains
of benefactions that shall run years
after he is dead. There is no bless
ing pronounci d ou -tho person who
gives to every 1 poor man. The
Holy .Scriptures say,' "Blessed is he
who eonsidci-eth the poor,", .who
studies theii peciuiar wants in or
der to relieve them iu the liest
way.
I have a niiniber of acquaint
anccs in iny circle to whom it would
be easier to draw a check for a
thousand dollars than to SMnd
one. hour iu bending their intellects
to the consideration of a case that
already has some claim upon them.
A rich man ought no more to 1 1c
tow his uioney thoughtlessly iiwn
what are railed charities than a
business man ought to lKstow his
money .thoughtlessly upon what
are called investments. When a
man beslows his benefactions thus,
it if' so far as he himself is con-
cei ned, iu when a thirsty- man has
i pail of cold watci thrown over
him; but whjeii he daces liift money
thoughtfully, and knows how it is
doing good the liest be can make
it Then he is like a thirsty man
who ij.ii-uches his thirst with
draughts of w .iter.
So my answer is, that a rich man
must do' with his wealth that
which 'will cause' hint -to have the
good of it. The question for him
to decide' is, w hat is " having the
good of it ?; If he we merely an
animal, and not a rational, moral,
responsible animal, then "when he
got fioiii money what his horse gets
namely, food and grooming, he
would get all the good he is capa
ble of receiving. But a inan is not
a brute. He is capable of a-sthetic
and moral enjoyments which the
brute does not possess, and he has
influence over his fellows which
the brute does not exert; audit
nurd: always be in remembrance o'
thei" teadfa,st, solemn facts that
he is to ask himself how shall he
get the greatest good out of pis
money !

FALLEN MAN'S CAREER.
THE sr;wy 1E A a
Some time ago the ile of a inc .
chant was suddenly awaken in U.
night by the sound of f.H.tstcps m
her bedroo; , and the next moment
the light of a dark lauteru ri.Mi.leil
her face so near that she ii.uld al
most feel the heat and hear the
suppressed breathing oi the intri.d-
er. Her husband was from home,"
and the only other person in fhe
h' Use except herself was a s. r
vant girl, who slept m the .
story iM-iieath. . Her presence of
mind did iiot, however, forsake her.
It doubtless required a gicat
amount of resignatioii and fortitude
in a woman to listen to, without
screumiug, the ransacking ol her .
store of valuable laces and the ap
propriation of her jewelry ; bet ; the
lady very rationally deemed her
life worth all the lace and diamond s
in the world, quietly closed her
eyes and awaited the result.
The light was withdrawn from
her face, and she heard the rustling

light, but remained calm ami mo
tionless in its scrutinizing rays,
fearful that the least movement
might imperil her life. What a mo
ment of suspense ! The light was
removed from her fai-e and she felt
that some one was leaning against
IIic.IkmI. Still she remained mo
tionless, nor did she stir when ihe
warin breath of the burglar t inned
her check. Not unt il his bp. pi

and shriek. .
'Who is in this room?"
''Hush!'' responded a voice iu a
hoarse whisKr, while a rough hand
wasj laid on her shoulder. ''Speak
n thing aud fear nothing." The
next moment she heard the sound
of retreating lootsteps and the
creaking of a shutter, then all was
still again. Satisfied that she was
alone she sprang from the U'd and
touched a lighted match to t he
burner, then sank into a chair, com
plelely prostrated with the- da user
through which she had passed.
Recovering she I oked around to
ascertain of w hat he had Ik-cm
plundered. ' ,
Tho drawers were all in the ut
most confusion, but strange h say,
little or nothing was misoiug.. A
casket of jewelry was open on
bureau, but the diamonds and gold
were all there. Heside the cnkct
she discovered a little roll of papei
containing a ring which hail Ihm-ii

ami which had been la her m . -sion
