THE NEWS AND HERALD, j WDfXSBORO, S. C. wednesday. March 25. : : : 1885* | wo. S. REYNOLDS. ) yr L.XcDOXALD. ) It is stated in Washington that Gen. John Bralton is mentioned for the mission to Peru. This appointment u-onld eratifv his numerous friends in Fail-field and the whole State. Mk. and Mrs. Blaine were among the callers at the White House on last Friday. They were much pleased with the cordial reception 0'iven them by the President and Miss Cleveland, and j spoke of their visit as a very pleasant one. President Cleveland was born on j the 18th of March, 1887, consequently last Wednesday was his forty-eighth birthday. He received a number of guests on that day who had called to him nr.d wish him manv i happy returns. A resolution was offered by Sena? tor Miller, of New York, and ndopted by the Senate, authorizing the committee on agriculture and forestry to sit during the recess to consider the best means of preserving the forests upon j the public domain. Trenton*, New Jersey, was the scene | of a destructive conflagration on the j 21st inst., cansed by the explosion, of | escaping gas. The fire originated in the capitol building, and, besides destroying valuable records, damaged the building to an amount which will not fall mnch below $100,000. Senator Hampton, on account of J illness, has been nnable to answer j numerous letters received by him in reference to appointments, but says that applications for office have been filed in the proper departments. His health is now imurovingr and he hopes to be out again soon. The Attorney Genera! nnder the reform administration has commenced the redaction of expenses by reducing the number of examiners in the Department of Justice from of nine to fonr. This action is based on the belief that the interests of the Government do not require as many examiners as are at present employed. He retained those who had beeu longest in the service. George Gray, who has been elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Bayard, and Epbraim Wilson, Senator-elect from Maryland, were both escorted to the President's desk and took the oath of office on the 18th inst. A committee of two Senators were directed to wait on the President, and if he had no commnnications, then the Senate wonld adjourn sine die. Abbeville coanty is much stirred np upon the railroad qnestion, and quite a number of meetings have been held withont coming to any definite conclusion. There <*eems to be a division as to what road will be built, as there are three different ones under discussion. If they would dispense with so many meetings and building so many railroads on paper, and commence work in earnest they would have a road much sooner. A t4k>t r-fiarrnv r*f thft Women's Tem perance Union called upon Miss Cleveland, at the "White House some days ago but not for the purpose as was supposed of using their influence on Mi^s Cleveland to dispense with wine of any kind at the Presidential dining*. A small plnsh a*bum, in which the sentiments of the visitors were inscribed, was presented to ihe lady of the House, after which they were introduced to ihe new President. Judge Spekr, of Georgia, has removed one of the deputy marshals in his court and sentenced him to ten days in jail for non-performance of duty. He was severely lectured for ^ C r. A nfi* no o mo t*cVi o 1 I1UI pcnui tiiil'g iii3 UUl v <?* (4 MlttlOliHi in summoning some jurymen. Notwithstanding the censure of the press generally in the appointment of Emory Speer as District Judjje, be has been highly complimented fur his deportment on the bench during hi? first conrt. During the year just passed there were in New York city 226 suicides, an increase of about 71 per cent, over the previons year. Of this nnmber nearly four-fiflhs were males, with t : 1 Of, ?? ages ranging dciwwh 10 ami w ?ca?o. The various modes of these suicides have been recorded. Ninety-two shot theaiselvcr, forty-nine took poison, eighteen stabbed themselves and the remaining twelve jumped from high places. One of the chief causes was disappointment in love. The jfDiiaaeipnia limes in commenting upon the appointment of Joseph S. Miller as commissioner of interna! revenue, says: t;The appointment of Joseph S. Miller, of West Virginia, as commissioner of internal revenue, is the first lesson of the Cleveland Administration on the absorbing question of revenue reform. It has just as much to do with a freetrade or protection theory on the tariff as it has with the ebb and flow of the tide; but it has so much to do with honest, practicable revenue reform, that it may be accepted as ending the first lesson of the new President on that vital issue." .Ttttvie notttrav. in his charge to the grand jury at Spartanburg last week, gave some sonrd advice to all persons who are in the habit of carrying concealed weapons. He referred particularly to the practice of carrying them, and for no other use than to shed blood on the slightest pretext. Most of the murders committed in oar State may be directly attributed to the ever ready, convenient pistol. The law against carrying concealed weapons should be rigidly enforced, and if necessary, the punishment for its violation should be greater. As the Judge wisely remarked, they are made for no other use than the shedding of blood. T'ttt? T<ito5 itqs fV>e> crpnp nf a disgraceful occurrence on the 14th inst.., and for some time a free fight seemed imminent. Two Senators became rather angry while discussing a bill, one favoring and the other opposing it, and ugly language was used by both of them. Pistols and knives were drawn, and bloody work would have ensued but for the timely entrance of the Lieutenant-Governor. Both men are of unquestioned courage, and the friends of both are fearful of a tragic ending of the difficulty. It is a deplorable state of affairs when tnen of such prominence are guilty of such conduct in the capilol of the State, and arc ready to shed blood over a d?11 of so little importance. The President will be brought to a test in a very short while on '.us civil service position. Within a few weeks the commission*of the postmaster in New York city will expire and a successor will have to be appointed. Whether the present incumbent will be his own successor or not is a question agitating tbe minds of the New Yorkers. He has filled the office faithfully, and j is backed by the Independents of the I State. Whether he will be reappoint| ed remaiusto be seen. Some seem to 1 be in doubt as to the sincerity of the President in his position on tbe civil service law as laid down in his letter to Mr. Curtis, and in his inaugural address, and will await with interest the result of the test to which he will be brought. i In the defeat of Phil. Thompson and | the appointment of Miiler, of West | Virginia, to be Commissioner of Internal Revenue, we find that no matI ter how well a man be indorsed, and j the number of his endorsers, still if j one man opposes bis appointment and j can show to the chief that it would be i unwise to make the appointment it j will not be done. In the case of the i appointment to fill this important office Thompson was backed by the Kentucky delegation, and a pumber of i others, including men of New York, representing a large capital. Yet he found in Randall a strong opponent I who used his influence against him, j and we suppose succeeded in couvinc| ing the Secretary of the Treasury that ' ^~ ?rv?? QQ I UC W as IIVI U1C uiau XV/1 UIV/ uo i Miller was nominated and confirmed j by the Senate. A genlemax of Washington, who is prominently identified with civil ser? vice reform gives his views of the contest n New York city over the postmastership in the following language: "The term of Postmaster Pearson expires on the 22d inst. Pearson has so conductj ed his office as to have secured the ? - it - - * x. 1 j? ; enmity 01 two-iuiras 01 ms saoorui! nates, and at the same time he has seI 5 I cured the good will of every business man in New York city. The business men want him retained. The politicians want his place. If he is to go, who shall succeed him? That is the question which has given the President an endless amount of trouble. First a delegation of the organization no Ka "KTarrr Prtfinfir &UIMTU ao IUV II AV*? vvwu^ Democracy came over to see about it. Then a few stragglers from Irving Hall followed, and last Tammany with j war paint and feathers took the warj path. The County Democracy has ! control of nearly everything in New York at present.

It would be the same if Tammany got the offie, hence you may look to see Pearson reappointed to prevent a split, and, in my opinion, a non: resident of New York city will succecd Robertson. Dan Lock wood'8 ! chances are best, and in spite of his I refusal of an nnproffered office I think ! he will get it." The result of this coni test will be awaited with anxiety by i men of both parties, as it will show i beyond a shadow of a doubt the position of-thc President o* civil servtee I reform. Southern Office-Seekers. A leading exchange in commenting upon the number of office-seekers in Washington city since the new administration came into power, refers to the small per cent, which hail from the ! Southland. It was the opinion of everyone, and j was discusped by the Northern Press i that Southern men would flock to the I Votinnnl Paniinl after the installatiou of a new President to reap the fruits of a Democratic victory. They have been very much surprised to know that comparatively, very few of the office-seekers came from the Southern States, but that the majority hail from the North or West. The Sonth feels that in electing a Democratic President they have gained for themselves that government administered, by pure and just men which the Constitution secures for them. They are Kof tliAT* Ko xt a m I SCUOUUU IV/ rtuvn IU(H nivj 4?(?iw u President who will administer the government, and support the Constitution to the best of his ability. The South only asks for a change of otScers where the present incumbents have degraded their position for party purposes or are incompetent to fill the positions to which they have been appointed. That the incompetent, and J... li :? 4k/* CAMf-V. party pitrusaua iu uuiuc 1U LUC uuum shall be removed is what onr people desire and confidently expect. Viewed from Abroad. The New York Commercial Advertiser, the leading commercial paper in the United States, has an interesting I ana reaaaDic icuer irom jus wrruspondent in New Orleans on the exhibit of the Palmetto State. It goes into details and gives a complete description of the various products on exhibition, and compares them with the exhibits from other States. After discn?sii>g the cotton exhibits?sea island and upland?ana complimenting the State on what it has done in the way of inventions for better preparing it for market, the correspondent gives | a description of the rice exhibit, which taaaiM??<i?MMfioBbha?M? he says jnstlv claims lo be the lead in the world. The most prominent and pernaps tne mosi attractive ieature 01 the South Carolina exhibit is a pyramid of phosphate rock made of thirty tons of the land and river rock. After commenting npon the exhibit of this industry, he compares it with the mining industry of the other States. He says : As every commodity is estimated npon a gold basis, it is interesting to compare the yield of the phosphate of South Carolina mines with that of the gold mines ot the southern states. The gold mines of Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, produced, in 1884, $266,828.77. The prodnction of gold in the Southern States last year being about the annual production of these States since the establishment of mints in the Uniied States, and the prsduction of phosphates in South Carolina for the last year being $2,500,000, gives that State, as a mining district, inclnding her gold, ten times the advantage of the other Southern States. Should the rate of production of phosphates con tinuc as it has in the fourteen years of its discovery, in the same length of time which "has elapsed since United States mints have have recorded ihe production of gold, the value wonld reach the enormous sum of $200,000,000; and there is reason to think that it will far exceed this amount, as the demand increases every year and the supply is believed to be inexhaustible. This comparison, and the prospects our State for the future, is as bright as the most sanguine could expect. This corresponds^ speaks in flattering terms of the 'mineral exhibits, includ ing the granite quarries of oar own county, and the manufacturing indnstries of the State. He thus sums up his article in the exhibit of our State: Asa truthful exponent of what the State contains, there is no State exhibit in the Exposition which surpasses that of South Carolina. Other States inav exceed it in specialties. Some of the Western States expend their whole effort on grain, others make their min erals the point ot interest, out ooiun Carolina does not allow the phosphate or rice to eclipse the cotton, grain, lumber or manufacturing interest, but shows the whole State for what it is worth, and convinces all who examine the exhibits carefully that the resources of the State are as valuable as they are varied. After all it is impossible to show in an exposition the chief charms of this State as a place of residence. They consist of a climate at once healthy as mountain air from the North, meeting the ocean breezes from the South, and the most pcrfect natural drainage possible from mountains to ocean, and a society composed of earnest, educated working men and women, who blend with the elegant polish of manner which generations of cultnre has made second nature, the progressive spirit of the age. Neces suv nas orougm iorm every power within them, and the present status of the State as compared with the best days of its former greatness, speaks roiomes for the enterprise of the Sonth Carolinians of tbe New South. ITEMS FROM ALBION. Messrs.

This section, of course, received its share of the damage done to crops by the severe weather, and oats have been so greatly injured that in some cases replanting has been necessary. Farmers have, of course, made the best use of the few fair days of spring, and mauv seres have been made to tarn up their clods within the last ten days. The planting of corn will probably begin in earnest next week. Very little guano is being used about here this year, the farmers being determined to sec what Mother Earth will bring forth without the aid of chemicals. A few of the farmers in this section are this year trying the virtue ot terracing their lands. The land about here is most nappuy aaapiea lor giving ine plan a fair trial, if hills are all that is necessary. Yon have already announced the death of Capt. R. C. Clownev, which occurred at his home on Thursday, the 12th inst., of pneumonia, after an illness of three weeks, and his remains were interred at New Hope church on Friday by the Masons. Captain Clo.vnev was noted for his generous disDO sition, always giving freely to those' in need; and it is said sometimes perhaps (o his own deprivation. He leaves seven orphan children, the eldest ol whom is in his eighteenth year. By the death of Captain Clowney, Fairfield has lost one of her bravest and most highly esteemed aud useful citizens.

The Evolation of the Skate. Many a man of to-day <^jbremembei\ the long curled toe, steel run her imbedded in a solid-wiece of wood that form ed the skate of his boyhood days. To the wood were attached the long straps and the screw in the heel that fastened the skate to the foot. This skate, too, was guttered, and the fellow that had a pair of "smooth bottoms" was the envy and wonder of all the other boys. The curly-toe gradually disappeared, the long straps gave place to the double toe-strap, and the heel-strap that with its harness rings always reminded one of a halter, took flight with the old wood-screw that used to be bored into the boot-heel. Other changes followed rapidly. Some bright skater conclud eci tnat Decter speea coum dc attained if less of the steel touched the ice, and the "rocker" skate made its appearance. Another happy thought knocked the toe-straps out in one round, and gave the steel clamps, tightened by means of a double screw and wrench, in place of them. A plate in the bootheel, and knob on tho skate, said "good-bye"' to the heel-strap, and very shortly afterward clamps similar to am/% ? fit a f aa r\> n /1 n Un V* an! r\f +Vi a [ kliU^C Uil lUU i-W uiauo kuu Vi iuv I skate nearly i erfect A s'mple turn of the wrist connected the two sets of clamps with a lever, and the skate was made ?Milwaukee Globe.
