Dr. C. J. Darby, a nathe of Orange* '
burg and a surgeon in the Confederate
ariuy, died at his home, Stamford, Connecticut,
last Saturday night. He was
a brother of Dr. John Darby.
Mayor Sloan of Columbia has ordered
the police to arrest all persons who sel]
intoxicating drinks. He will do his best
to enforce prohibition, although ha will
have a stumpy road to travel.
The Alabama contest for a candidate
for Governor is very clese. The returns
up to Saturday night indicated 171 for
Gates; 186 for Johnson; doubtful, 149.
Both sides claim the majority
l?r. S B. Jones has resigned the Pres

With the two decisions of the Su- ,
preme Court before the people, there is (
still some doubt as to whether the law
of 1893 is declared unconstitutional or
not. That being the ease, it is expected ;
that Tillman will order the dispensaries
reopened as socn as the Supreme
Court adjourns. It need not surprise
cne to see them all open next saleday. i
It has come to pass here in Sooth
Carolina that one may be a true blue
Reformer, a farmer's movement man* ,
without being a T>llmanlte. We have
conversed with several men of that
stamp lately. That is they believe in ,
reforms and retrenchment in State and
County Governments, but they do not
believe in Tillmanism as interpreted
and put in practice by himself.
The General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian church will meet in ,
Ifashville Thursday of this week. Dr.
T. H. Law and F. M. Farr will repre- j
sent Enoree Presbytery. The Sadie (
Means case from Columbia will come (
up on appeal and the licensure of candi- j
dates will also be settled in a more satisfactory
way than at the present time, i
They will be session about teo days. ,

The Alabama primaries are in progress
and it looks as if Gates would re- 1
ceive the Democratic nomination for
Governor over Johnson, of Binning- 1
ham. The convention meets the SI I

The Southern Baptist Convention
met in Dallas last Friday in the Sam
Jones Tabernacle. It was estimated
that 6,000 to 7,000 persons were present.
President Jonathan Harralson called
the convention to order. They had the
usual devotional exercises after which
Rev. C. L. Seacbol made an ad drees of
welcome. Reports from committees
were received and worked marked out.
Dr. Herfoot, of Kentucky, preached the
introductory sermon. Saturday they
began to work in earnest.
Coxey's army, numbering about 500,
marched out of Washington last Saturday.
The new recruits come from
the colored population around Washington.
One man was drowned, ten
sent to the work house as vagrants and
six placed in hospitals. They moved
across the District line into Maryland,
but the citizens are appeal**^ to the
Governor not to permit them to establish
their camp in the State. They selected
a place near the old dueling
ground at Bladensburg for their camp.
The Diocesan Convention of South
Carolina had a harmonious session
The trouble which arose severed years
ago over the race question was amicably
adjusted aud al! the churches are now
on the same footing. They decided to
change the name of their annual meeting
from convention to council. They
will meet next year at Camden. Bishop
Howe's salary, $4,000, and assistant Bish
op Capers', salary $3,000, each requested
that the council reduce their salaries
one thousand dollars This was refused.
They adjourned last Friday.
The editors of the State are dropping
into poetry gracefully. It is a good
sign. Even Tillman at Rock Hill quoted
some of his Fifth Reader poetry, which
. he learned at school. When be begins
MB on poetry he lets up on his friends the
"doge, moccasins aad buzzards" as be
calls all who do not agree with him. It
is said that General Hemphill even eon
"Rn.

hero. Of coarse his friends know
who is hidden behind the fictitious
name- We expect Brer Holmes to follow
soon on the "Mod Tarkle" or some other
subject he understands. Harmony will
prevail when the muses have a corner
in ever sanctum.
?A special from Washington to the
Charlotte Observer of Tuesday says:
' Senator Butler presided a while today
in the Senate. He will to-morrow
introduce a pension bill for the widow
of .InoC. Secrest, of Lancaster.
Dr. P. L, Murphy, superintendent of
the State Hospital at Morganton, and
-1 * ?Vio Hnnfh n?rnhnA.

and Powell, of the Georgia assylums,
were here to-day, en route to the annual
meeting of the International Association
at Philadelphia to morrow.
Other arrival*: Junius |M. Horner,
Oxford; J. A. Brown, Chadbourn; Mr.
Brown. Asheville.
A prominent South Carolinian says:
"Either Tillman is lying to Ellerbe or
changing from John Gary Evans to
Ellerbe. I have seen a letter f-om the
Governor which indicates one thing or
the other. I believe he feels now that
the lattt r is the stronger, but if Tillman
is deceiving Ellerbe, the latter's friends
will beat any man Tillman puts up for
Governor in kAugust, and then beat
Tilloian for the Senate.1'
The Political Outlook.
? I
There ib nothing new in State politics ,
;his week. The Senator's election will
lepeud on the menbers elected to the b,
Legislature. That being the case, it ^
will be necessary for each candidate to b<
ieclare whether he will support Tillman
or Butler. That will give us two a,
jets of candidates. The voter who has b
no choice between Tillman and Butler a
will select his men from both sets and w
B-otfi for his personal friends, or for ei
those te considered the 1 est men. Bat tl
is a geer&l thing the Reform voters will tl
align themselves according to their tl
ihoice for Senator. The Conservatives p
are not taking any interest in the mat- n
ter for they do not know whether they u
will be allowed to yote or not. It will h
be best for them to sit on the fence and a
watch the Reformers. Thty will have ti
Infinitely more fun while thus engaged g<
and they will not be chagrined with w
disappointment after the election is ?
over. el
Besides Tillman and Butler there are is
other issues. The dispensary is the tl
first one. Tillman will oontend for tl
that as it is. fie will fight for it to the t<
last, fiis friends and supporters in 6|
every county will stand up to him. a
The Butler candidates will oppose the q
dispensary as it has been managed and &
advocate the Gothenberg plan which a
will take the profit and spy System out ?
>f the business. Or they will advocate u
Prohibition, or a general license law &
that will restrict saloon keepers mncb si
more than heretofore. h
Tillman will endeavor to bring the a
Convention into the canvass, bnt as h
the question will not come to a vote n
until November, it may not receive k
much attention. C
Populism may enter into the canvass
for Governor Tillman is an open and o
avowed Third Party man and he hopes n
to carry the State with him in the next a
Presidential campaign. ?
There may be other issnee bnt we do fi
not know what they are. Neither do n
we know the atandard bearers. It is t!
said thatches of oar members of the g
Legislators will give their support to ?
Tillman without any reservation. This
is only a rumor and we cannot vouch b
for it. If that is so and they all ask for y
re election they will need only one more t
candidate. The Butler candidates p
have not been discovered yet. Bat the o
knowing ones say they will be forth a
coming in time for the campaign. All c
you have to do is to wait and watch. a

Shall we have Coeducation in
Colleges and Universities?
The University of Virginia has been B
thrown open to woman. For the last '
two years the fight has been going on t
in that State. This is the first South- &
era University that has opened the a
doors to woman. By degrees all the c
higher colleges will receive youog '
women. The tendency is in that diree J
tion. Our female oolleges are not en- ^
dowed. They have to be supported by 1
tuition fees. It is always important 1
that these fees are large Hence much '
attention is paid to music, art and ail
those branches that oome in the list of I
accomplishments. Three-fourths cf the
girls demand such training. Their parintaprefer
their daughters to beoome 5
"aecpmplished" rather than distil*- r
guttud. Ii-W fsmtfe sshMl* nre.afet 3
tfofu UK* Sigper wotfc^O* yUli uuri^e' g
to blame. Now and then there an f
srirls whe do not wish to learn muqiV ^
and painting and all those little attractive
arte, bat they wieh to enter on a
vigorons course of etady which will lay
the foundation for a liberal education.
For this reason colleges of high grade
and Universities will be thrown open to
young women. This will not interfere
with the Female Colleges. For the
balance of the century there will be
very few girls in this State that will
take a four years course in a college.
Want of preparation will be in the way.
The curriculum In our schools is not
such as to prepare girls for admission
into Colleges or Universities, so our
parents need not be alarmed because
co-education is promised in the Colleges.
The Presidents of oyr Female Colleges
need not fear tbat their patronage will
be diminished, because the number applying
for admission will be very ?inill
but oo-education is coming and we
might as well get ready for it.
Collegiate training is more needed in
South Carolina than it ever has been.
The tendency in matters eduoational
is to the superficial, or the business
training. All that is very well. Tbat si
better than no education at all, but if
we are to have men and women in the t
first half of the next Century who poe- i
sees a liberal education they will not <
oome from the training and technical <
schools. The foundation must be laid j
in that thorough training of the mind ]
scoured through the study of language.
mathematics and the sciences, i
The one who is ignorant of Greek and j
Roman literature, however mnoh he i
may know about other things, cannot <
lay claim to a liberal education. If a
few girls in the next decade, should en- <
ter Colleges there need be no cause for 1
alarm. Neither sex will be unsexed |
thereby, nor will the ordinary educa- <
tlonal methods te disturbed.

The Winthrop pchool '
/
Lant Saturday the corner stone of
this institution was laid in the presence
of a large crowd estimated at 60,000 to
15,000. Extra trains from Clamson College
and Columbia carried in several 1
hundred people. The regular trains
also carried many. But the large crowd
went in from the country within twenty 1
miles of Rock Bill S. P. Dendy, Grand
Master of the State, conducted the eeremonies
in laying the oorner stone. The 1
name of the institution is "Winthrop
Normal and Industrial College."
Mr. Mercer, of Greenville, opened the
exercises with a 20-mInute prayer which,
according to the reporter, was well
worded and expressed iu eloquent lancuAire.
Governor Tillman then made
! O - the
opening address. Professor St.
James Cummings, of Charleston, read
the dedicatory ode. Hon. Ira B. Jones
then delivered the regular address, dedicating
the school to the education of '
woman's head, hand and heart. All
political factions united in this great
work and in the addresses there was a
notable lack of partisan abase and vi- '
taperation so common in all the public
addresses recently made. Even Cleve
land was allowed to rest undisturbed
for one day, so far as public utterance
was concerned. 1

I will now say that we need not be

way back yonder, when the country
as betug settled, our ancestors in genral
were poor people, who fled from
le i executions of the old world to
lis new one, where by force of talent,
ley and their descendants became
rominent. No, sir, our ancestors were
