Means Davis <-f Fairfield. Mcssr?. lloyd and Davis wrre appointed in place of Mr. ("lins. Petty and thc Kev..!. K. Dun lap, who declined reappointment. Thc members ol the board receive no com pensation. Messrs. Petty and Dunlap have served for four years, and by their faithful discharge of duty have rendered valunblo service to thc public ?mool sy?tcm. Meiers. Ardor and Murray have served also for lour years past. Thc new Hoard is an excellent one. In tho hands nf Col. Coward, with the ad vice and assistance of this board, the common school interests will br cartful ly watched, and efficiently administered for the two years. The city of Columbia has just com pleted the purchase of right of way for the ("anal, and made deeds of it lu the State under the conditions of the lust Act for continuing the work upon it. The cost to tho city was t-l,f>00. Under the Act of 1881 the State could be held re sponsible for the purchase of right of way, and last year did pay out over $2,000 on this account. Hy passing this new Act, which has been HO recklessly criticised, we take away tho opportunity for land owners to charge enormous prices lor the the right of way because the State is to pay for it. The city of Columbia bas secured the entire right of way remaining lo bo obtained nt the figures stated, while the State would have been charged a much higher price, on the principle that she ts able to stand it. The (.'anal would have gone on with one hundred convicts and ten thousand dol lars a year indefinitely, and the State would have wasted in salaries, right of way etc., over cue hundred per cent, more than thc*:; item? will coat under the present arrangement. The late net is decidedly the most economical for the State in the long run. The Clifton Manufacturing Company, of Spartanburg, bas declared a dividend of seven per cont, on the capital Btock of the company, niter paying expenses for thc pnst six months work. This is au excellent showing lor a new company, and demon! trat es thc profitableness of manufacturing in the South. Tho suc cess of the Carolina mills is attracting the attentio t of capitalists from abroad, mid numerous enquiries arc coming to our State h oking fur opportunities for investment in manufacturing enterprises. In len years at the present mle of de velopment, South Carolina will rival tho New England States in manufacturing interests. There is no r>tbor industry which will sn rapidly add to the wealth of our State, ami restore to ns as quickly our commercial and material resources. Every County in the State should have UH ninny factories ns possible. They in crease the price of cotton ami all kinds of provisions. They furnish employ ment to 'omen and children at rein ti Iterative rates, and in every way add to O ir prosperity. There aro nt least twenty desirable locations for factories in this County, and nome of our public spirited men should turn their attention lo or ganizing companies to developo them. It will pay our farmers to put their M?r plun money in them. They can realize from twelve to twenty per cent, on their s;!ot k, besides building up a market ut good prices for everything that ia made on thc farm. Anderson, which is ahead in most progresivo enterprises, is far be hind in thia, the most profitable of all material development. Tho prosperity of our neighboring city, Greenville, is largely due to manufacturing growth there. Aside from this, Auderson would bo considerably ahead of Greenville, but with it, Greenville lins an assured pros perity which cannot bo affected by crop failures or drouths. She is not depend ent upon agricultural prosperity entirely for her business, und hence abe is con siderably ahead of us in population nn 1 bUBinoss. Sho will stay so until we imi tate her policy mid build ourselves up with manufacturing interests. It is time that the people of Anderson were stir ring themselves in this important devel opment. A FI a nil ny Sea of Fire. CLEVELAND, O., February 4.-The f dlowing are tho details of the fire an nounced last night: Early yesterday mornin? the water of a email creek called Kingsbury Run rose far beyond its usual h?ight and spread over hun diods of e.crea of low land, surrounding a ieaky petroleum ?tili of tho Standard Oil Works, located a considerable dis tance ab 'i vc the company's mu in works. Escaping oil and refuse were swept down the stream and carried under the boilers of the great Western Oil Works which were nearly submerged. The oil became ignited and floated to a tank containing five thousand barrels of crude petroleum, which took fire and exploded, apreading the blabing oil in all directions, some being carried to Merriam & Morgan's paraphine works bolow, which were siso fired. Continuing down the strenm the flaming flood next attacked the tanks of the Standard Oil Works, located in the valley, ono after another, which took fire. Five ten-thousand barrel tanks, two five-thousand barrel tank?, four stills, one agitator, an engine house, five hundred feet of railway trestle and vari ous small works were destroyed. The tanks were not all full. Not letts than fifty thousand barrels of oil were con sumed. The total loss by fire is a maller of speculation. It is estimated at from $150,000 to $300,000. The machinery and stills were worth $27,000. Six steam engines and three book and ladder com panies worked all day and a largo force of the department ali night. The oil must all burn when once it taken fire. Throwing water on it only scatters it sud increases the danger. Tho firemen have to direct their efforts to. prevent the fire from spreading. They have been labor ing at a great disadvantage becamio much of the territory where the confla gration ia raging is covered with six feet of water. - Dr. W. T. O.

The amount of Vincent's defalcation ?.au only bo ascertained after a careful examination of the booka anda careful count of tho money iii the treasury, but a hurried and partial investigation indi cate timi it is moro than $209,000.

K. A. O'NKAIA:, Governor. Large sums of money sent to b'red \V lille, supposed to be dealings in cotton, have been trace?! up, and Vincent dealt abo, it is supposed, with other colton houses. A legislative committee is counting ihe money in tue treasury. There is but lillie lo aihl to the details air. adv given. The deficit is now put nt $212,007, and tho State is believed to be secured by thc treasurer's bond. The in vestigation in progress may decrease or diminish these ligures, and may develop mitigating circumstances or bring to light evidences of greater turpitude. Only the fullest inquiry can ?level?)]) the whole scope of tho great wrong done ami fix such responsibility for it as may at tach elsewhere than lo thc chief offender. Kvery possible ellbrt will be made lo pro tect the Stale. A ll necessary legal pro ceedings will bo promptly instituted un der the direction of the attorney general. A TRKAKU lt Kit WITHOUT A UONI>. Mr. Vincent should have filed an up proved bon?! lor $250,000 belbro entering upon the dillies of his third torin. This ho did not do. lie took the oath (d' oilico on the 1st of December, simulta neously with the retirement of Governor Cobb and the inauguration of Governor O'Neal, and between the two adminis trations slipped in without a bond, which neither Governor was called upou to ap prove. As soon as Governor O'Neal learned this a demand was made for a bond, and one wns pr?>nented for appro val, but was rejected as insufficient. Mr. Vincent's bondsmen on his inst term *vere Messrs. M. E. Pratt. Danie! Crawford, J. J. Robinson ami J. M. Driver. A second bond, presented last week, was on Monday last rejected ; and the office for this reasou vould have been soon declared vacant had it not been, unfortunately, vacated otherwise. It is understood that lews than $5,000 of tho defalcation has occurred since tho 1st of October last. Tho temporary U>ss to thu State will not al all embarrass the administration of the government. Willi the money iu the treasury and tho current receipts, all current expenses will bo paid and thc July interest will be promptly met. The amount of the defalcation is just about that of tho treasury surplus; and its worst effects will bo to postpone any ma terial reduction of tho tax rate, and to render impolitic, and perhaps impossible, some unusual appropriations which to many had seemed advisable. Ultimate ly, every dollar of the loss will, it is con fidently cxpec'od, be made good, The State's credit, at homo and abroad, will bo maintained unimpaired, and ?tu repu tation will suffer only the reproer' * . taching to the misdeeds of a lo official. In ono week the bonds c. ?he State will recover from any depression resulting frein the occurrences of the past two day?. As soon as the treasurer's default was publicly announced Mr. Josiah Morris, tho well known banker of Montgomery, aent a telegraphic order to New York for the purchase of Alabama bonds, Cleat A, to the amount of $100{ 000 ; and that ho would take a million if they could be purchased. Of course, pending the examination of the treasury and the appointment and qualification of a now treasurer, no money cnn bo re ceived and no payments can be made ; but Ibis state of affairs will not probably continue moro than three or four days. WHO IIE 18. The most talked-of man in Alabama, and for some time will be the most talked of man in America, waa raised in Au tanga County ; ho lived there for a num ber of years in tho early period of his lifo. He moved from Autaugn to Cham bers County, where he served a long time as register in chancery. He was Gover nor Houston's private sccrotary, and from that position was elected State Treasurer in 1878. He was rc elected in 1880, and again in 1882. Ho took the oath ot office of bis third term on No vember 20th last. Ile had thus been time and again honored by his people, and up to this day they had never seen reason to repent the large share of con fidence they had given him. He was re garded as n man of moderato ability but of unimpeachable integrity. His sterling honesty was his strong point. He is about forty years old, ot medium height, has a foll beard, a rather pleasing coun tenance and a scar on his forehead, a mark left there by the war, in which be waa a brave ? oldier. He was desperately wounded in the head in Virginia. It was thought he was dead. His skull was shattered, *and a pieco of it shot away. The wound was trepanned, and I a silver pitee put in Iii? left forehead i* j partially hidden by Iiis hair. HOW UK 1.1 \ KI?. For several yean Mr. Vinrent baa ! j lived in a style ol luxury entirely beyond j I the capacity of his salary, and the geri- ; j eral opinion has been that he had money \ \ outside. It wa* currently believed, in ! 1 certain circles, that his ninney wan made : ' hy lucky ?peciiintioii? in futures, but no I one seemed lo suspicion that he had used .lie State's money in making his deals . on '(.'hange. Orilv those with whom his j transactions wer? had knew thal he bad met with heavy losses ami covered them promptly. S om' months ago he pur chased ii house of loudest pretensions in appearance and cost, and it was reported that he would pay for it in instalments. Ho furnished it handsomely, however, ard has -.pent considerable money in the way ol good living, lie has kepi a car riage and a pair of horses, lt -rems thal in his lir-t deals in futures he was fortunate, and this gave ground for thc heh cf that he was not dependent on his ?2,1 Ul) income. Hut bis carly successes only whetted his appetite, ami he went on from bad to worse until the announce ment of the examining committee showed him that at the next jump he would hit bottom, and so he left, and the I ?evil only knows where he is. HOW UK FELL. The cause of Vincent's defalcation was undoubtedly speculation. Montgomery ha?s been famous for many years for il? heavy speculators in cotton. Kew Southern cities have handled futures in larger lumps or more constantly than Montgomery. It is said that New York brokers make more commissions out of this than any other citv. Large sums of money, sent to Fred. Wolfie, amounting to more than $100,000 supposed to bi for dealings in cotton, have been traced np. and Vincent dealt also it is supposed with oilier cotton houses. It is surmised that he may have loaned some, although no evidence to that effect has been shown. WHERE UK IS. Nothing has been ascertained as to Vincent's whereabouts. All sorts of ru mors ure afloat. .Some think he has committed suicide. SMITH TAKKS VI.NCENT'H PLACE. MONTGOMERY, February 2.-F. II. Smith accepts the oilice of treasurer. Hills have been introduced, and are likely to pass, for no one to enter the oilice un til tho bond is approved, and also to in vest all the HU rpi Ufl over $100,000, at the omi of each fiscal year, in tho purchase of Slate bonds. A Kow In the ..../ni Academy. AN NATO 1.18, Md., February 2.-There is serious trouble nt the United States naval academy here, and the entire cadet corps lins been deprived of all privileges, while the Hrst-class men, num bering in all about forty-five, have been placed under arrest. Tho trouble nrose on Friday last, when Cadet C. E. Wood ruff, of Pennsylvania, who is one of the most popular men in thc academy, waa arrested for dishonorable conduct, for having certified on honor to a falsehood ii: connection with his examination papers, lt is said Cadet Woodruff has since admitted in writing the justice of the charge. On his arrest, being a potty officer, he was immediately reduced to the ranks, which caused great excite ment. THE IHKAFFECTION Sl'KKAPS. When crossing the grounds after being arrested Cadet Lieutenant Street led tho division of the brui class which he com manded, in cheering Woodruff. The superintendent immediately ordered Stroet's arrest, and ho also was reduced to the ranks, with Cadets Georgo, Alex ander, llrady, Ager, Weeks, Dalrymple, Woodsand Aldrich. They were all sent on board the San tee in accordance with a general order issued by the superinten dent. When this order was read the first class men, almost in n body, groaned and hissed for several minutes, anti all disci plino was disregarded. The following cadets were thereupon arrested, the otb cers reduced to the ranks, ami all sent?n board thc Santce : Cadets barkley, Withers, Post, Ilarnard, Tonoy, O'Leary, Wilson, Greene, Jackson, Stout, Foster, Mitchell, Smith, Grinuel, Darrah, Hal stead, Herbert, F'ield, Gross, Quiinby, Ky an and Glasscock. The eflect of these wholesale arrests wus to demoralize the entlie academy. ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 2.-There aro no further developments nor orders in the naval academy insubordination. Access to offJcinl bulletins is now given to the press. There are about ten mem bers of the first class who took no pnrt in tho cheering demonstration. These, ns well as the other cadets who were not reported for violation of tho regulations^ however, have been deprived of their usual nrivileiraa. A Lesson to the South. In an interesting article upnn the rates of wages of farm laborers in the different States, in tho last annual report of the United States Department of Agricul ture, it is shown that tho influence of manufactures upon agriculture is very great, both in tho wages of farm labor and in the prices of farm products. The rate of farm wages in Massachusetts, the centre of manufacturing interests, is higher than in any other State east of the Rocky Mountains. In Ohio, which is dotted over with thriving manufacturing towns, tho rate of farm wages i? about thirty per cent, higher than across the dividing line in Kentucky, whero manu factures are scarce. There is also a marked difference in the several districts of Ohio. The northern belt, which in cludes tho thrifty manufacturing centres -Cleveland, Toledo, Canton, Wooster, Mansfield and other towns-and the sec tion including Cincinnati, Columbus, ?cc, pay a much higher rate of farm wagoa than in other districts where agri culture is moro prominent. In Illinois and other States the samo thing is seen. In discussing this point tho report says : "Wherever other industries flourish, and the number of persons employed in agri culture are fewer than those engaged in other occupations, it is found that the wages of farm labor are higher than in districts moro exclusively agricultural ; and statistics show, further, that the prices of farm products are also higher, and the gro?s aud net earnings of the farm proprietors are greater. Wherever, from manufactures, mining or commerce, the non-agricultural population is rela tively in Hinaller proportion to the whole people, the law of supply and demand inevitably secures a higher reward to rural labor. It would bo well to think over the preceding statements. A GRIDS ron A NIGHT.-A dispatch from Halifax Court House, Va., dated January 27, says : "Last night James Guthrie, a prosperous young larmer was married to Miss Hulda Martin. A large company was present at the wedding, which was solemnized at the residence of tho bride's father. Owing to bad weath er the guests remained at the mansion all night. This morning when they had assembled at tho breakfast table, it was remarked that thc bride and groom were late in coming. Suddenly the shrieks of a woman were heard, and tho startled guests hastened into the hall, where they met the bride of a night, who cried : "My husband I Ob, my husband I" When she awoke this morning,she found her husband dead by her side. She is almost insane from grief." - Governor Ben Butler has caused the colorid men of Boston to doubt hit pro* fessions of friendship for their race by removing Mr. James H.
