ELLRkT [I. A(ULL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, S NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSI)AY, APRIL 11, 1889. A COTTON FARMER. In conversation with one of our bes1 farmers a few days ago he remarkec that he was feeding corn that only cosl him ten cents a bushel, and the trans action by which he obtaiped the corr was a legitimate one too. He does no1 believe in raising corn, but raises in stead oats for his horse feed, and th( oats which he traded for the little cor that he wanted bushel for bushel hac only cost him ten cents a bushel t< raise. The gentleman to whom we refer is f small farmerr but one of the best in th< county. He always makes good crop but he says he does not believe it pays to raise corn. The food crop for the farmers of this section of country is the oat crop. It cost. less and is better fooc for horses. Some far' think it necessary t< and that the corn crop is f cheap one. We were surprised to hear this far mier of whom we speak say that he wa: a cotton man. We have known him: long time and he always has plenty o food and fine stock and we were unde: the impression ihe was a believer it corn crops. He usually gathers on at average a bale of cotton fromt everr acre he plants, and lie says it pay better to buy what little corn he need! thag to undertake to raise it. Our observation has been that as t ruie those farmers who raise all cottot and buy all their supplies are not th, most successful. Talking about public schools, wi were told by a teacher in the lower see tion of this county a few days ago tha nearly all the :schoels were run for term of about eight months, and tha while the public schools properly speak ing were run for only three or fou months, yet most of the teachers weri employed for a term of from eight t nine months, and the salary guaran teed the teacher for the whole term b: the patrons, and that if there were an: children whose parents were not abl< to pay tuition, such ;children were pe nutted to continue just as if the publi school bad not closed. Another teach er remarked to us that there were n< patrons of his school but such as wer able and willing to pay their tuition a small as it was for the whole term. The greatest trouble in most schoc dis,triets in the country is not the abili ty to pay the tuition, but such childrei as are large enough to work in the fielt were needed to help in the cultivatioi of the farm, and were kept fronm scho4. onl that account. If the schools were entirely free an< kept open for nine months in the yea there would be many children wh would be unable to attend. Yet we would be glad to see ever: -ehool in the county run for the whol term of nine months, thus giving al the children an opportunity to attend Our municipal election passed of very quietly. Our people accepted th action of the citizen's meeting in goon faith, and we never heard a muruu of complaint from any source. Whil there was a light vote polled yet th ticket waxs voted in its entirety by ever; one for there was not a scratched ticket We think we have a good council. MIr. R. A. Lynch, of Columbia, wh is an asp)irant for United States Distric A ttorney, will sue the News and Cou rier for an alleged libel. MIr. Lynch is said also to be edito of the Evening Record published il Columbia. There are rumors already in the ai t.hat there will soon be a rupture be tween P'resident Harrison and Mr Bliaine. It is said Mr. Blaine's recomr miendations have been ignored in th matter of appointmenlts and that unles matters change Mr. Blaine wvill resigi and let Mr. Harrison get a newv Secre tary of State. That may be. Savannah has suffered very greatl; in the past few days from fire. President Harrison has been puttin; the Republicans in and the Democrat out at a p)retty~ good speed since he ha 'taken charge of the White House. "To the Manner Born." TIhe following communicationl wa addressed to our Prosperity correspon dent and we publish it, as it throw some more light on the question die eused. DEA SiR:-Some time since yol called my attention to a discussion i: the Newberry Herald and News as ta whether or not the expression "To th< manner born," found in Hamlet, Ac ii, seue iv, is a proper rendering. IL a recent letter to Rev. W. J. H. Hogan of West Dedlam, Mass., .I chanced t< men:ti the matter and solicit hi (pinion on the question. Mr. Hogai is a ripe scholar, and thoroughly verse< in English literature. I therefore sub mit what he has to sa in reply to m:; injuiry. lie says: "That c.uestion about the sentence it Hamlet erops up occasionally and fur nishes quite an impulse to the study o Shakespeare. . . And I fear it uneve wvill be settled. My copy, wvhich care fully nlotes all the variations from th' folio editionl, and says that the 2' line following are not in the quarto 1603 nor in folio edition 1623, gives the pass age thus: ' Hor. Is it a culstom? 11am. Ay, marry is't; But to my nmind-though I ami nativ here, And to tile mannerl~ born, it is a eus tomi More honored in the breach, than th observance.' Italic is mine. "The 22subsequent lines are not foun< in the editions above mentioned. "As~ the cu.stom of drunken revelryi referred to, I should consider the read being evidently a misprint that escaped the eye of the proof reader, as in the "Wicked Bible" the word not was omitfed in the seventh commandment and not discovered until a number- of copies had been sent abroad. . . - I would remark . . that what Shakespeare puts into Hamlet's mouth refers to Englishmen rather than to Danes, for it was impossible that an untraveled man should do otherwise. He makes English customs prevail everywhere he lays his scenes, and makes his mien and women English to the core. But that is the habit of most writers. It is said no artist can escape his race predilictions and influences. A Chinaman would make all women have a Chinese cast of features, and no one but a Chinaman could paint a Chinese woman. The trick is notice able even when one would not expect the variation was great enough to make an ineradicable difference. So the im mortal William paints the characters of his own home and country, whatever may be the age, wherever may be placed the scene of his mimic world. "The authorities that are given in favor of manner are Hunter, Verplanck, Richardson, Hudson, Halliwell, Douce, Collier, Dyce, and Knight. I have not l examined all these, but Dingekinck, a careful scholar, cites them in support of that reading." While Mr. Hogan does not say so in words, he leaves the plain inference that the reading "to the manor born" is to be found in some editions of Shakespeare. Yours truly, S. B. LATHAN. A CALL TO PRAYER. In Commemoration of the Inauguration of George Washington as the First President of the United States. L WASHINGTON, April 5.-The follow i ing proclamation was issued late this afternoon: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES-A PROCLAMATION. A hundred years has passed since the government which our forefathers - founded was formally organized. At t noon on the thirtieth day of April, 1I89, in the city of New York and in the presence of an assemblage of heroic t men whose devotion had led the colo - nies to victory and independence, r George Washington took the oath of office as Chief Magistrate of the new born republic. This impressive act was preceded at 9 o'clock in the morning, - in all the churches of the city, by prayer for God's blessing on the gov ernment and its first President. The centennial of this illustrious event in our history has been declared a general holiday by Act of Congress to the end that the people of the whole country may join in commemorative ceremonies appropriate to the day. In order that the joy of the occasion may be associated with deep thankful ness in the minds of the people for all our blessings in the past and devout supplication to God for their gracious continuance in the future, rep)resenta tives of religious creeds, both Christian and Hebrew, have memorialized the government to designate an honr for prayer and thanksgiving on that day. INow, therefore, 1, Benjamin Harri sonl, President of the United States of America, in response to this pious and reasonable request, do recommend that on Tuesday, April 30, at the hour of nine o'clock in the morning, the people Sof the entire country repair to their re spective places of Divine worship to implore the favor of God that the blessings of liberty, prosperity and epeace may abide with us as a people and that His hand may lead us in paths of rirhteousness and good deeds. Inwitness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the fUnited States of America to be.affixed. SDone in the city of Washington, this fourth (lay of April, in the year of our Lord. 1889, and of the independence of rthe United States the one hundred and Sthirteenth. BENJAMIN HARRISON. SBy the President: JIN Es G. BL AINE, Secretary of State. Barrison Offers Mrs Stonewall Jackson a Place. [Charlotte Chronicle.] tThe Richmond Dispatch of Sunday - ublbshed the following : "There are two things which Harri son is said to have done which comn rmend him to the people of Virginia ioffering the Lexington (Va) post office to the wvidow of Stonewall Jackson and retaining In place Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. r"The offer to Mrs. Jackson was made -through a Virginia Republican who is in high favor at Washington just -now, and who is well knowvn to enjoy the personal friendsnlip of Blaine and CWanamaker, and who has more than sa bare acquaintance with the Presi dent himself. "So desirous are the Washington peo pie to have Mrs. Jackson accept the office that it is confidentially believed that they would give her the Rich mnond post office if they thought she would accent it." The Lynchburg Advancesays: "Mrs Stonewall Jackson, who is now living Sin North Carolina. it is said, was re cently told she could get the post mas tership of Lexington, but she declined to apply for it." Mrs. Jackson lives in Charlotte, but is out of thbe city at present, visiting her "father, in Lincoln County. WV. E. Christian, Mrs. Jackson's son-in-law, was asked by a Chronicle reporter about the reports in the Virgi'uia -papers, and said last night : S"I have no authority to speak for -Mrs. Jackson in this matter, and, if I had, I would prefer for her to make her on n answers for publication." IMRS. JACKSON AND THE RICHMOND P'OSTOFFICE. ( From the New York Sun.] Postmaster General Wanamaker seems determinedl that Mrs. Stonewall Jackson shall hold an office. He ap pointed her postmistress at the little town of Lexington, where her husband )was president of a college before the outbreak of the civil war. Her salary here would have beeni about $600 a year. but she declined the appoint ment, an-1 now the Richmont postoftice, which -pays $4,000, has been tendered her. She has the offer under considerat ion, much to the astonishment and disgust of the Virginia politicians. The Richmond postoffice is one of tile best places in the State, and there were a number of Re fpublican candidates for the appoint mnent. Among others was Mrs. Lizzie V aulew, who heldthe office (luring the two terms of Gen. Grnat's Admuinistra tioni. Mrs. Vanlewv is a native of Rich monId, aad was a Unionist during the war. SI e not onily spent her money and her time relieving the distress of Union officers who wvere _prisoners at Libby and Bellisle, but her house was the headquarters for Uinion spies, and it was through her that Gen). Grant gained most of his information as to what was going on at the Confederate headquarters. As a reward for these services, when he got into the WVhite House he appointed her postmaster at Richmond, and an attempt was made to keep her in during the Admfinistra tion of Haves, but the politicians were too much for her, and she had to go. Now she wants the office back again, adiveymuch distressed athaving t tendered to the widow of a Confed erate general, who was not even a can r didate. - 1iEWINLbY1ii111SI r. 71 SAVANNAH ABLAZE. Sa de: The Business Heart of the Forest City in ''al Ashes-At a Loss of One Million Dollars. 1oi el [Special to The Register.] in CHARLE.SToN, April 6.-Mayor Bry- Fe an this evening received a dispatch from th. Mayor Schwartz of Savannah, asking th for help, as the entire business rtion of su the city is on fire and the Savannah fal fire department are unable to cope with it. A special train left heae at 9 p. . Ini with two reserve engines and 2,0 feet m< of hose for Savannah. A heavy North- ch west gale is blowing here, and the city po is as dry as tinder. Therefore Mayor tit Bryan could not spare more engines. th 'the news causes the greatest excite- pr ient here. 'l The tire is said to have broken out on on Broughtoin street about 4 p. i. to-day. w< There was a stiff gale blowing and the la1 fire department was unable to do any thing. At 8 p. in. four blocks were A, burned and the fire was still spreading th at that hour. Mayor Schwartz sent w out appeals to all neighboring cities for in help. c At this hour (11 p. mn.) the loss has 00 already reached half a million, and the fire is still raging. Among the build- be ings destroyed is the historic Indepen- n. dent Presbyterian Church and the Odd \\ Fellow's new hall. sti Broughton street is in the heart of to the city and contains all the finest T1 buildings. 1i THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL. I CHARLFSTON, April 7.-12:10 a.m.- t News has just been received that the le fire is at last under control. No details are yet obtainable, but it is reported al that upwards of twelve blocks in the fiI heart of the city are in ashes and the loss is estimated at one million dollars. SCENES IN THE STREETS DURING THE (REAT FIRE. The following extracts from the ac- A count in the Savannah News wiil be read with interest as giving the facts more in detail: AMONG THE CROWDS. tit It seemed as if nearly all the people ~ of the city were gathered in the neigh- e borhood of the fire. W hole families were grouped together. Some were hysteri cal with excitement, others were stoical la in their calmness. Some joked and th laughed; not that they were pleased at th the ruin that was being wrought, but to give vent to their excitement. The great majority of the people were calm, U and spoke in subdued tones of the cala- b< mnity, and of its efiect upon the city-of b the ruined homes and of the wrecks of I the finer buildings that went down one tu after another under the fierce attacks of the devouring flamtes. There were maly who knew just what ought to be done to check the fire, and couldn't under stand why this or that thing was not done. They would stop people, and tell o them about the fire, its origin and pro gress, and seemed to think that in some 01 way they were performing a service for fri which they were particularly well of adapted. 1 THE SHOWER OF SPA RKS. C Theshower of sparks was immense, ti and covered a large area. The sparks were large, and continued to burn for a at long timeafterthey touched the ground pr or roofs of buildings. The force of the if wind was greatly increased by the ca heated air from the bulning buildings, ca and the sparks, therefore, were driven se along with great force. They lodged in w the trees and set fire to them and would pi have caused the loss of liany more e ouildings if the utnmost care had no01 at been taken to brush them off the roofsa to or put them out with wvater. ft GUARDING THIELR RFSID)ENCES. n1 When the Guards armory, thle Walk er home on South Broad and( the Inde-l pendent Presbyterian (Ch1urch building1' and Sunday-school building became mi turn enveloped in flames, the excite ment onl Perry, Liberty and MoDon- t ough streets, in fact on every street as far in the direction of the park asJ ones, w: s intense. The wvind wvas still blowing a stiff gale, and it began to look as 11 something like the scenes of the great Chicago tire on a smaller scale would be enacted in that part of the city Property owner.s who held insurancs policies conigratulated themselves upon t hat fact, and those who held none hiaut a feeling deep dlown in their hearts thai they would suffer total loss, although they did the best they could under tlia circumstances to appear ca'u, and( t< quiet the fears of their wives and child ren. People ran to anid fro, hardly know ing what to do, but the most cool headed among them soon went to work to save their homes and household goods, if possible, in case the fire should not be checked before it reached themiI Sentinels were placed on guard on the housetops to extinguish the sparks and cinders that were falling faster than autumn leaves on the houses, and to put down wet blankets; womnen were d iside the houses packing goods, and all available assistance was secured inii removing furniture, etc, into the street . and into houses that were thoight to ie outside of the possible reach of theb flames. South of Liberty street the peo pe were content to simply pack their goods in readiness for removal,. On Perry, fromi Bull to Dratyton, the public thoroughfare contained stacks A of household goods, and it was pretty much the samte on Liberty. Johnson square was filled with them, taken from the houses on those parts of Perry a and( McDonough betwveen Bull and Barnard. All along these streets guards were placed over the goods, to protect them tromt people whlo only awaited a c favorable opportunity to profit by the a fire. sr Signs of relief went up from m~aniy .a hearts when after anl hour or so it be- l camne apparenit that the fire wvould nJot ai reach that part of the city. WATCHING THE OLD CHURCHt. - h On the streets from Perry to the park, o after the danger there had p)assed in- d terest seemed to cetntre mi the destruc- ii tion of the Presbyterian Church and of b the chapel adjoining. As people spoke a of it tears gulshed from their eyes and tI their lips qjuivered. So far as could be It learned there were no accidents below tI Perry street. i The tiny flame near the top of the Ini- in dpendent Presbyterian church steeple, b which finally extended over the build- al ing, was observed at its inception by a d good many people at a distance, and II the fire department was importuned to s( extinguish it. Nothing could be done, h however, the flame being out of the ct reach of:the streami o:|water from the d hose. One gentlemnan in Charlton fi street, when he saw it, otfered to a party in the street a nteat little sum if G e would go up in the steeple and put out the flames. A lady in the same house offered to make an adition to the reard, and the party started off with the inltention of undertaking the work. He could not gaint enttrance into the church, the doors being locked .AtT any rate, the persons whlo getnerously ofered the reward watched ini vain for j the flame to be extinguished. I THE OLD CH URCH's HIsTORY. 31 The First Presbyterian Society in Savannah was organtized about the yearr 175>, the R1ev. J. J. Zubly, D. D., pastor. The exact location of the first church is c not known, but it wa in Decker ward," and wvas destroyed by the fire of 1796' t Another church wvas erected on the corner of York, President and Whtita ker streets. T'he steeple of this church 1 was blown down and the building in jured (luring the gale of 18t04. It was repaired and used util 18191, when it was taken down and the congregation removed to the Independent Presby terian Church, on Bull street, onte of tI the most elegant and spacious houses of worship in the country. It was com menced in 181.5 and completed in 1819, b when it was dedicated by the Rev Dr. Henry Kollock. AT WORK IN EARNEsT PREPARING TOy REBUILD.
