Hogan, resigned. ?It is said that the oats crop in many} places has been damaged by the late cold snaps. ; ?The south-bound passenger train on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad was an hour behind time on Sunday last. ?A number of oar mercnnnis nave signified their intention to withdraw from the lien business. They say it doesn't pay. ?Hay seems to be the staple com> modity on the market here just now. It sells for fifty cents per hundred pounds. ?We. hear of several contemplated visits to the .New Orleans Exposition, to come off after the February term of Oonrt. , ?Several buildings on Main street are being renovated, and when complete the improvements will add much to the appearance of the town. ?The price of a round-trip ticket from Columbia to the inauguration is $17.S5 for citizens, and S13 for the ' members of military organizations. ?Mr. Yi. M. Lester, who is now I teaching at Albion, in this county, L spent Saturday and Sunday here. He reports Ms school m a nonnsmug cuu"rrWe hear that the Gordons think of going to the inauguration,, and wo " hope that they may find it practicable to do so. They would no doubt repreB sent us creditably. I ?The docket of the Court of General Sessions will not be as full at the next term' as it has been heretofore. In all probability no cases of any deP vi$iod importance will be tried. ?We observe little or no cotton f selling here jnst now,, but venture to stfsjpect, nevertheless, that a thorough f inquiry would disclose the fact that there is some of the staple left in the ^ . county yet. ?The negro ou Mr. Elliott's planta ik>u who bad his leg broken recently .is no^gteceiving the attention of,Dr. E. W. Aiken.> The Doctor did not think it. needful to amputate the limb .and theVatient is now doing well. ?"We hear that several of the bach^4rtr?Rflw-nnno?nced themselves can I <3idates for the office of Grand Prosecuting Attorney, which they say will H be declared vacant at an early day. The^Tasfc iTTness of the pre^fc incumBr ^ Ny.'Beht, ItJs- asserted, can last al most B bat a-little while longer. Pi ?A coloredjvitness in a trial justice court a few days since protested that H nothing could induce him to swear a B lie. He . .insisted that his regard for W veracity was above price. He, however admitted on cross-examiiiation that he might swear a^lie toget to be a conductor on' the .railroad. .'-.j .W ? Teachees.?Teachers who applied . for certificates at the recent esamiaay tions need not. call for them in a week or .ten days yet ; the Board of Exam iners- Jtove not ma time to iook over tne | papers. Ox the Wixg.?The town was favored last week with a visit from a couple of "chuck-a-luck" sports. On the hotel register they gave "Jacksonville'7 . as the place of their residence. It was - j/--- thought by some at first that they were revenue detectives. They didn't k \ "tarry" very long. Tse Teachee.?There was a meeting ' of the Teachers' Institute of Fairfied county at Alt. Zion College on SaturBfei _ day fee 17th inst. Important educajflfr ticual topics jrere discussed, Mr. Thos. E. Bell read an essay on "Graded Schools in the Country," and the Rev. B. K Corley one on "Character Build ing. For Sale.?Several parties have come to town lately with horses, mules, etc., for sale, but they complain B that there is no demand here for them. .Let them put the male underihe influence of a mortgage, and then tarn him over to the sheriff. If he fails to go off after this treatment, there is no remedy but to reload him. In the Courts.?Another wife^beater has been before the courts. This time he was acquitted on the plea of self-defense. He not only established ? r his- own innocence, but adduced a -plausible array of evidence to show 4hat the old woman had "wiped the | floor np with him." He received the | sympathies of the Court and was al- j lowed to depart in peace. m Law and Medicine.?Speaking of the leg:;l and medical professions a gentleman of Richland county recenlv said to a correspondent of Thk News axd Herald: "The difference is this, if you put yourself in the hands of a doctor you had better make a will; if in the hands of" the man of the law you need not.Jr It is now understood that the gentleman had reference to these professions at the capital. Securities Degenerating.?If it be true, as it is said, that the lien with us is becoming more and more a mere supplemental security, perhaps it will plav out altogether after awhile. If there is any consolation in the suggestion the opponents of the law are welcome to it. It would certainly seem that they have nothing to expect at the hands of the present Legislature. # There is no Place Like Home.? Mr. J. IT. Yarborough, who went from this coauty to Texas about two years ago, has returned and announces his intention, to remain. He believes that the nataral resources.-of the great Lone Star State are almost inexhaustible,. bat says that the same scarcity of" aeady cash- which causes so much mischief here prevails to a con siderable extent there. Drummers.?A regiment of comSSSviw' travelers might iiave been raised in town during the past few days easily Cnongh. The merchants here will , buy, aud knowing their . weakness in-this particular should not complain-when they find that they are obliged to sell. Possibly it is only apparent, but. it certainly begins to look as if-a conspiracy were forming , with - the diabolical purpose of run- , ning prices below the starvation point. ; The XEguo Exodus.? It is said that great numbers of negroes who have recently gone "West 111 search of better homes are now being housed and fed ; in Topeka, Kansas, at the public ex- j pense. This is scarcely to be wondered ] at; few of them have more money on < leaving here than is necessary to meet j the expenses of transportation. It , wouid be wise for these people to send ^ one of their number ahead to prepare < homes, for the rest. ( Humorous.?The Pall Mall (Lou- 1 don) Gazatfe gives its readers some ( examination absurdities. The answer to the fonrth question, "Zacharias and 1 Elizabeth had a son name John. When j he grew up:be had his head cut off to [ please a young lad}*." This is a pretty ] good one, we admit, but the Gazette 1 man out to see some papers that the 1 County Board of Examiners are now ] enjoying. : 1 Question: What is inter'est? ? Intrust am er some nv munie what ampade Phur de uee uv munie borrid. ^ The Fire.?Crossing Main street ] 3 ( late on Tuesday evening we observed . a blaze issuing from a chimney of Mr. 1 F. Gerig's residence. Seeing that the trouble wooldsoon be. over, we stopped ' to see the. end it, or, at least, to await * further developments. It was, how- J ever, discovered 111 a moment by some of the little bovs, and the town was promptly notified of the impending ] danger. Perhaps you were right after all, boys. The people won't insist * upon the benefit of the reasonable ( doubt in these cases anyhow. Stexogbaphexs.?The Honse of Representatives at the last session of the Legislature passed a bill providing a stenographer for the sixth judicial circuit, and but for the narrowness of the Senate litigants in the courts of this circuit as well as t'nc taxpayers would have cause Lo congratulate themselves upon the achievement of a much needed reform. "We would like to hear the gentlemen who voted ^ against this bill give their reasons for ( so doing to the people. They would 1 probably be elected next time?to stay 3 at home. ' New Cisterns.?The Town. Council j have determined to dig two more cis- 1 terns in town, and have already adver- j tized for bids. We called on one of 1 the wardens ou Friday to know if he < would say anything with reference to ) the new enterprise, but the gentleman ; t 1 :?j ?; was inisv, uiiu zusjstcu wilii tuusiucia- j bis perversity that tliere was nothing j to say. Percciviug at last, however, < that it was 110 part of our intention to ] leave until some light was thrown on i the subject^ he consented to explain ; that since the town went wet the sup- '< ply of water has been found very insufficient. ' i Teamps.?It is said that the country is full of tramps just now. This is easy to be accounted for; the only ^ wonder is that there are not more. The tramp is the product of modern progress; he is the correlative of the TllO AAn_ LMgliVOl* *1 J/O VJL VIV iiJLX/iit/IVl** XUV VVUcentration of wealth in great enter- . prises of natural development calls ; the shepherd and the plowbov from their rural glen to the "centres of civ- | ilization." Stringent times, financial crises come on, the hum of the spindle and the whistle of the engine a re hushed and the honest toiler is an aimless tramp. A Night "Walker. -A gentleman in town, who resides near the pnfclic square, complains that a being of some sort, greatly to the annoyance of the honest sleepers in this locality, has in the past fortnight, more than once, paraded backwards and forwards on said square at the unreasonable hour of 12 p. m., making an unearthly noise. We do not know what the thing is, and mention it merely f<y the purpose of bringing it to the notice of the police. In all probability it is either a ghost, an itinerant burglar or somebody's husband, as nothing else would be afraid to go home. Tobacco Culture.?The February and March numbers of the Cotton Plant, the only agricultural journal in the State, published at Marion, S. C., will contain an article on Tobacco Cnlture by one of the most experienced and successful tobacco planters in I>orth Carolina, which on<rht to bo read by every farmer ii: the Pie.linaui belt of South Carolina, which is believed to be admirably adapted to the successful growth of the tobacco plant. The Cotton Plant is an 8-page 40colamn journal devoted exclusively to the interest of the farmer. Price 90cents a year. Repairs.?We notice that several' parties in town have repaired tiie sidewalk in front of their respective places of business in anticipation of the muddy weather that is in all probability coming. This, as it appears to us, is commendable thoughtfulness, and we would like to see the suggestion taken up and carried out extensively. It is a question of loss and gain with the balance of chances clearly against losing. Let the business man accustom Jiimself to look at the front entrance to his establishment from the point of view of the customer and he will see this. Business is slill business, so far as we hive been able to learn. A New Enterprise. We direct alien- 1 tion to the advertisement of the Domestic Fertilizer Company, which was recently organized in Columbia, with Mr. J. R. London, cf Rock Hill, as president, Messrs. Jones, Robertson & Co., of Columbia, being the general ; agents. The factory of the company is located in Columbia und has a ea- : pacity of from seventy to one hundred tons a day and is said to have orders ahead which which will keep it busy, night and day, for a month to come, i The company manufactures acid phosphates and high grade ammoniated phosphates, and sells besides, cotton ; seed meal, kainit and tho leading in- j sjredients of fertilizers. It has ample j facilities for supplying the trade with < first-class fertilizers, and we trust it | will enjoy an extensive patronage. I Prosperous Newspapers.?T h e J Laurcnsville Herald now comes to as ^ in an enlarged form, and printed mainly from new type. A new Campbell Cvlender Press has been substituted ? for the hand press recently in use, and ' the typography of the paper is im- ! proved accordingly. The Herald is . Dne of the best, as well as one of the eldest, county papers in the Stale, and its friends are pleased at the evidences Df prosperity it now shows. The Newberry Observe)* commeuced . :he new year with an enlargement from a seven-column to an eightjolumn paper, and the additional space . :s filled with the same good reading , :hat the smaller sheet always confined. The Observer is a most excellent paper, and its success shows that < ts merits are duly appreciated by the j jood people of Newberry. i Centennial Journalism.?The Aurusta Chronicle has reached its one auiidredth year, and in all the long xmrse of the centnry it has continued ts regular issue. On reaching its one hundredth anniversary, its proprietors propose to celebrate the occasion bv ;hat rare but not unexampled publicaion amoug American newspapers?a I Centennial Edition^ In this edition * tvill be given a brief history of the ^ aaper for one hundred years, illus;rated and accompanied by a fac- t nmile reproduction of one of its ?arli- < ist numbers. A sketch of the history j )f the State of Georgia from 1785 to. t tSSo will also be given, -embracing all t :he salient points of interest in its 1 mnals, a brief biographical list of its ^ governors, Senators and other distin- \ juished sons, and a concise statement I )f its growth in territory and popnla- ( :ion. Attention will also be paid to natters of interest to the Chronicle's lnmerons readers in Sonth Carolina. The Man with a Grievance.?"We near that a very estimable gentleman )f town charges us with having made in a recent issue of this paper.sereral intentional misstatements, and adds, 3y way of apology, that it is not the Srst offense of the kind. Now, as it is said that he spends a great deal of his ralnablc time in trying to make this ippear, we tender to him in a spirit of absolute fairness the use of these jolumns. In matters of this sort we ~ r t* t. - i reiuse no one a ncaring. xi ue uas mything to say, therefore, be may say it now, or he may not, as ifc suits him, < ind hold his peace hereafter. We cannot ' consent to acknowledge ourselves at ' fault every time the bitterness of cold type gives trouble. To illustrate, a i physician is called to testify as a medi cal expert in a case of homicide; he ! takes the stand, delivers a weighty ( opinion, retires to his library, finds 1 that what he has said doe's not square * with the authorities, reads a faithful j account of the trial in the morning's ( paper and is dissatisfied. But the i editor who knows his duty to the pub- I lie must permit him to remain so.. I Death of Mbs. J. II. CciniiNGS.? 1 Mrs. Mamie E. Cumming?, the wife of -r tt r> iVlr. O - XI. V^ULLLUIilli^, Ui 1U1S piilUC, died on Thnrsday morning-, after au i illness of less than one week. The ! funeral services were held in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church . on Friday afternoon, the Rev. J. T. i Chalmers officiating, and were attended by a large gathering1 of the relatives and friends of the departed lady. Mrs. ' Cummings was a daughter of Mr. i H. L. Elliott, and a granddaughter of the late John MeMaster. She was in the thirty-second year of her age. Mrs. Cummings was an attractive and lovable woman, and made many friends, all of them drawn to her, and attached to her, by her pleasing manners, her generous disposition, and her unvarying kindness to all. She leaves four children, to whom, in common with her srrief-strickeii husband and kin-" dred, the sympathy of our entire community is heartily extended. The Skeleton of a Romance.? Jack Dennis was brought before Trial Justice Cathcart on last Saturday, charged v?itli purchasing seed cotton after sundown. The prosecutor, had been missing his cotton for some time, but could not catch up with the thief. TTo was fnllv satisfied, however, that Jack was harvesting liis crop, and adopted the following novel plan to fasten him: He took into his confidence a dusky maiden, who, as it seems, had also the confidence of the defendant. She was instrncted to take a sack of cotton after sundown, go across the field aud endeavor to find a purchaser for the same. The implication being, we suppose, that only bad men would buy under such circumstances. She carried out her part of the programme and met Jack. Whether it was owing to the fascination of the vendor or his innate love of traffic may forever remain an open queston, bat he bought the cotton. The transaction was contrary to the form of the Act of the General Assembly in such case made and provided, and he goes up for trial. ACKXO ITZEDGarJSNT. The Rev. John C. Watkins, pastor of the colored Presbyterian Church, returns thanks to the good people of Winnsboro for the assistance already given and promised him and his struggling people towards erecting their church building. The frame is now up, except the rafters, and paid for as far as we have gone. He now asks help towards the weatherbosrding, covering and plastering. Any amount will be gratefully received, and will be a wonderful help to this struggling congregation. THE STATE COLLEGE. Messrs. Editore: While the State College is being discussed iu the newspapers. I have been thinking, and with your permission will express what [ have thought. I have thought that it is not a good argument to say?"If it is-right for the Slate to support loraraon schools, it is not wrong for it to support the State College." If the State should pay for this higher order 5f education, why not teach all the aranches in the common schools, and have a little university in every school listriet? Certainly more people would jet the benefit of a finished education. As things are, comparatively few ar$ ible to board their sons away from lome, and are therefore compelled to j :>e content with a common school eduction. Bat I think these are different things j md involve different principles. It is < ;or the best interests of society that all ; ts citizens have at least a common :d a cation. This is possible, so far as < ;he individuals are capable of receiving t. Hence every man should be taxed 1 or the best interests of society as a ' vhole, viz., to give the people?all the people?a common education. But no >nc will suppose it possible under the )resent state of affairs to give all a fiu- . shed education at the University. Nor would it be for the good of society to jive everybody a finished education, ' >ven if it we're possible. A heavy ; inline would be the very thin^to J irive a long train of heavy freight :ars; but you might make that engine J io heavy" that it would break down < yith its own weight, burst up the oad-bed, and utterly fail to do the vork. The colored man's condition would >e worsted if they were all graduated V*rtm a StafA Tlnivflpsifv to-dav. How vould they make a living? What vould they do? \ The fact is only a few can be gradu- ' ited from the State College. They, >f coarse, will be greatly benefited. 3nt is it right to tax the whole for the " >enefit of a few? Honest men are oiling for a living to-day and paying ] ax to help support that College who 5 vill never be able to send a sonto any j :ollege. They are asked to help to do j "or others what they are not able to do < 'or themselves. This much can always J >e said in favor of the denominational solleges as against the State College, j To pass over, in silence, the nnan- ; werable fact, that after the war and ! luring the days of Radical rule, when he State was crippled in her fiuances , md broken in spirit?scarcely survivng?not able to raise her headorex-; ': end her hand to offer her people an iducation, these denominational coleges came nobly to the rescue and by ieroic effort and matchless devotion Garnished educated men suitable for ' my and all the professions, and that, Loo, at a time when such men were jreatly needed. For which the State night at any time, with becoming ; gratitude, rise up and call them blessed, [s not the State College supported by :axes extorted from the rich and poor, .he prosperous and depressed, the crippled soldier and the lonely widow? While the denominational colleges ire supported by the voluntary iiberllity of the church. To illustrate?the jollege agent goes to Mr. A. and asks: ;4Can you give us anything for the jollege?" A. replies: "]So; lama poor man struggling for an honest living." "Yery well, we do not want . io oppress any one." Agent goes to Mr. B.x who is in better circumstances, md receives his $50, or $100, or more, md no one is hurt and a good cause is i cheerfully helped. On the other hand, the State*goes to the same Mr. A. and ; says: "We want your tax (part of . which is for the support of the College)." Mr. A. replies: "I am poor," 2tc. He is told- "It makes no difference, you have to pay your quota, jreat or small; we take no denial. It may be hard earned and illy spared, but it must come." State goes to the same Mr. B., who replies: "I have paid to this or that college^ in the inia**c+ r>f o/1n/>aHAn SLrvH nr 18100 nr may be $1,000." He is told, "that makes no difference, this is a State affair," and he has to pay again for education just as if bis $100 or $1,000 had been in rain, or never again. Now, if the friends of Furman University had sncceeded so that they could offer free tuition, or even a premium of $100 per capita on students, the friends of other colleges have no grounds to complain. For it is not snported by their money, if it it does take their patronage. But when the State College offers free tuition, it not only offers inducement to draw the patronage from other colleges, but calls on the friends of these other colleges to help keep up the State College so that it can offer free tuition. The very presidents and professors of these other colleges are required to pay tax to keep up a college in opposition to their own. I know of nothing so nnfair in all the domain of State legislation." It is like asking the C. C. & A. B.R. to help build a State road parallel with their own, bat on a higher grade, with better accommodations, and that is to carry all passengers free of charge. Dexohixatioxal. How the X. O. Exposition -was Inaugurated. ' The Inauguration of the Exposition at New Orleans, noon, Dec. 19th was colemporaiy with the 175th Monthly y ' fr and Grand Extraordinary Drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery, when over half a million dollars was scattered by blind Fortune's wheel. Ticket No. 58,282 drew the first capital prize of $150,000.

M. Shackle-' ford, collected through Bank of Commerce, Memphis, Tenn. The rarnainder, was sold to parties in Cincinnati and Qfi Sfi-i rirew the second capital prize of $50,000 and was also in tenth.
