The State of South Carolina suffer ed so much from the arbitrary and absolute powers of its railroad com mission that the last legislature so modified the law as to remove its most objectionable features. Georgia also has a railroad commission, against which there is much, complaint, and a loud demand thafljfitfmin&sion ers be deprived Si the arbitrary pow er which they now exercise. As an illustration of one of the ways in which it hurts, we clip the following editorial from the Augusta Chronicle, which says : Of three trustees of a large &ng ish estate two reside in Great Britian and one in Georgia, ine estate amounts to over $1,000,000.' Recent ly it became necessary to cnange some English , investments and the trustees of the fund across the water asked their Georgia associate to ;look out for the placing of the sum of $600,000 in Southern securities. The Georgia trustee could not aavise urns the money De mvesieu nere, uui, the contrary, . counseled nis leagues to change to . jungiana $300,000 already invested in railway securities. i.ne reason as signed for this large diversion of cap- ital was tne unmenaiy legisiciwuu wi the State that finds expression in the Railway Commission. This is the latest illustration of the folly of that law and it will nave only too many imitations. Georgia wants more railways than she now possesses to be prop erly developed : but the chances are ..

It is time that the people of Georgia awake to these facts and send men to the legis lature who would not agree to con tinue the absolute power of their ty rants, who frighten off capital und paralyze industrial progress.

He is not the man whose stomach, is in a constant state of rebellion. He is not the man whose foofi distresses him as soon as he swallows it. He is not the man with sallow skin, sunken eyes, a tfbublesome Lver, and an aching head. V ' . . The Cheerful, Man is he who has a, healthy stomach, a vigorou- i'cs- tion, and a hearty appetite. The CheerfuiMan is nourished by his fopd, instead of being distressed by it, and is able to enjoy his meals. The Cheerful Man knows the joy of. a hearty laugh, and can tell a good story, to keep his friends in pleasant humor. The Cheerful, Man has a clear skin, a bn'v; ye, p firm footstep, and gives a vigorous shake of the hand. The Cheerful Man is not vexed by these dismal d.-;:bts c.a to ;!-.e future which becloud the soul of the dvTpepiic.

The Wilmington Star of Thursday contains an editorial vigorously pro testing against the inadequate pay received by school teachers in this State. It holds, and correctly holds, that while teachers are compelled to serve for the beggarly salaries now offered them, a good class of educated and competent instructors cannot be secured nor expected, and consequent ly that our schools must depend upon an inferior grade of teachers, men and women, who as a rule do not ex p3ct to follow the profession as a per manent calling, but only to give them something to do until they can do better. Not intending to devote them selves to it, they do not try to mas ter the profession. To this kind of teachers in a large number of cases are our children entrusted, deriving little or no benegt for the time spent at school, plodding on in a confused, floundering way under teachers whose brains, if they have brains, and hearts arenot in the work, and to whom the occupation is an absolute bore while it lasts. The salaries of teachers in this State range from $20 to $30, a month. How much brain can be expected for that paltry sum? How many people fit to be teachers can be ; expected to long continue in a profession which offers no more compensation or induce ment than this? Even at these figures the teachers are employed but a por tion of the year, and must during the rest of it seek employment elsewhere at some other occupation, and the probabilities are when the school opens again it will have a new teach er wno will spend one-half his tune undoing what hia predecessor did. We cannot have good schools with- ouigooa teachers, and we cannot have good teachers without paying such salaries as will encourage men and women of ability to adopt the profession and follow it, not as a mere makeshift, but as a life calling, in wmch they, take pride and pleasure, A?f "S1,1016 cauing and one of vast responsibility, and should be so ap- preciateauy the public. . ?

London, Jan. 4. The Paris corres- summing up pondent of the Times the situation in bpain says: it is doubtful whether King Alfonso in the event of the dissolution of the Cortes could depend for support upon the Spanish army. Meanwhile the Zorillists and Carlists are at work. The correspondent concludes that the alternative will soon be presented of a choice between anarchy and ab solution with the probability that in dependence and freedom will succumb. To Consider the Irisli Question. London. Jan. 4. The Rome corres pondent of the Standard says that the Propaganda will commence Tues day to examine certain of Mr. Er rington's proposals in regard to the line ot conduct to be pursued by the irjsh clergy, with a view to a better severance of their connection with the agitators of Ireland. Especially does the attitude 01 the American Fenians require further action. The Propaganda has promised to ex amine the matter irom a moral point of view, and will take action accordingly.

To all my customers I extend the con gratulations of tlie season, writn the promise that in the year 1884 1 will sell better goods and cheaper goods than I have ever done before, because I have added another year's experience to my knowledge in buying, ' and the same amount of experience to find out that a criticizing and exacting public buy only the best goods from tb cheapest store.
