Anderson City will remains dry for !
another term. The election was held
last week.
Laurens has gone back to her first
love, and hereafter licenses will be
granted for the sale of spirituous i
liquors. There was a tight contest. J
Prohibition is being agitated in a j
lively manner in several towns and
citie3 ox this States. It does seem j
that this question will, ere long, as- i
snme a national aspect in earnest, and
no one at the present can safely prophecy
the result. Whiskey may be !
legally run out in time, but it is our j
candid opinion that until the mil- j
lenium it will never be totally de- j
stroyed. j
A bill has been introduced into the j
Alabama Legislature to remove the ;
legal disabilities of women, and it will i
probably be passed at the present ses-:
sion. It puts a married woman on j
precisely the same footing with a man i
as to all her property rights. Another
bill has for its object the protection of
the wives and children of hard-labor
convicts. It gives half the price of
hire received by the county to ihe
wife and children.
The Hon. Benjamin Franklin Pcrrv, i
ex-Governor of South Carolina, died ;
at his home, near Greenville, on the :
3rd inst. He had been in declining !
health for some time, and had reached '
the advanced age of eightv-one years, j
His was a life of usefulness, both to \
the State and National Government, J
and his name will occupy a bright j
page in the history of our grand old !
State. He was Ihe father of the Hon.
W. H. Perry, our present Kepresenta- j
tive in Congress.
The national drill, which it is pro- j
posed to be held in Washington next!
May, promises to be the grandest mili- j
tary display ever witnessed in our j
country. Already one hundred and j
Tiinft organizations, including two from j
? ' ?
South Carolina, and representing
twenty-seven States, hare made known
their intention of taking part in the
drill. Fifty thousand dollars to be expended
in prizes has already been i
subscribed by citizens of Washington, i
The report has been circulated about'
"Washington that the Austrian mission |
would be offered to the Hon. Frank ;
Hurd, the free-trade champion. We
are glad to notice that the report has j
been denied by Mr. Hurd. lie says i
that his highest ambition is to regain j
his old seat in the House of Jlepre-!
sentatives. He is thoroughly devoted |
to the cause of free trade, and he is I
too able a man to be sent away when [
he is engaged in a cause so nearly ;
affecting every citizen of our country.
A special dispatch to the Hews and
Courier of December 2 gives a full
account of the lynching of a colored
man in Florence on Tuesday night.
As usual it was an attempt u> assault
a young white girl. She made a gallant
struggle and her cries for help ;
brought assistance, when the villain
fled. Fie was afterwards caught and
fully identified by the girl, and on
Tuesday night met the fate abovedescribed.
It does seem strange that

that some men will commit such acts
^ when they know certain death awaits
them if caught.
The following is the oath which
Governor Richardson took on Tucsday
before entering upon the duties of his
office:
I do solemnly swear that I am duly
qualified, according to the Constitution
of the United States and of this
State, to exercise the duties of the i
l -1 T 1 1 I
Oince 10 wmcn jl nave ueeu uieuitu,
and that I will faithfully discharge to
the best of my abilities the duties
thereof; that I recognize the siiDremacy
of the Constitution of t^ie United
States over the Constitution and laws
of any State, and that I will protect
and defend the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution of
South Carolina as ratified by the people
on the 16th day of April, 1SC8.
So help me God.
Soon after the great calamity to
Charleston we, with others, advocated
some relief for the sufferers by the j
earthquake in the way of their taxes.,
We are glad to notice that a bill pro- j
viding for a reassessment ot the property
in certain portions of the counties
of Charleston, Berkeley and Colleton
is now before the General As
sembly. It is nothing but strict jus- J;
tice to the people of Charleston that;,
they should be relieved from paying i ]
taxes upon property which in reality j <
they do not possess, and thereby a 1
reassessment becomes necessary. It
also provides for a rebate in certain ; [
cases where the money lias been ai- j3
ready paid. The bill should pass, ana j
we hope it will. j <

Public interest increases in the ease !
of Cluverius, the condemned murderer !
of Fannie Lillian Madison, as the day !
for his execution approaches- tne 10th j
inst. Petitions have been freelv cir- ;
cnlated over the State and numerously j
signed asking for a pardon, or at least!
a commutation of the death sentence. [
The action of the Governor is awaited j
with the greatest interest, but so far
he has said nothing in regard to what
his action will be. It has been reported
that the condemned man will
make a statement disclosing his whereabouts
on the fatal night, but that it
will not be made public until after it
has reached the Governor.
A i.ocal "barter of Washington says
that Mrs. Cleveland is talking over
the approaching social season with the
ladies of the Cabinet officers witn a
great deal of interest, and in a vein
that promises plenty of gavetv after
the month of mourning for ex-President
Arthur is ended. The usual
State dinners and receptions will, it is
said, be attended with many select
entertainments at the White House, to
be given in honor of guests of the
President and Mrs. Clevelana. The
wife of the President is in excellent
health, and entirely prepared to under
go the exertions whicii the active social
season will demand.
During the past year forty-two
manufacturing and other enterprises
have been incorporated in tlris State
under the Omnibus Act, passed by the
Genetal Assembly, authorizing the
Clerk of the Court to issue certificates
in "certain cases made and provided."
The amount of capital represented by
the forty-two enterprises referred to is
$1,377,000. It is a significant fact, as
indicating [the growth'of high moral
sentiment in the State, that sixteen
churches, with a total capital stock of

iny the past year, and that eleven J
benevolent and educational societies
have also been organized. The
churches and charitable institutions
are keeping even step with the marvellous
progress of industrial enterprise
in South Carolina. In the one
case we have the evidences of our
material greatness, and in the other,
running on a parallel lint-, an illustration
of the civilizing tendencies of the
Government under which we live.
Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia,
was in New York a few days ago,
ntiri in conversation with a reoorter of
the Mail and Express, said in reference
to prohibition in Atlanta: "The
city does a big1 jug business now.
There are several counties adjacent
that have no local option laws in force,
and they furnish jugs lo the thirsty
citizens of Atlanta. An express train
comes in every afternoon, called the
'jug express,' with some hundred or
so jugs filled with good whiskey, consigned
to citizens. As much interest
is taken in the arrival of this train as
of one bringing a circus. There is no
law to prohibit whiskey being conveyed
to a private residence in a jug.
I think pretty near as much whiskej
is drunk as before, only it i9 not done
openlv. Native wine is not prohibited,
and a great deal of it is consumed.
Atlanta is naturally a wet
city, bin the county is dry, and the
Ul v > vies ui iuu wuui i n mi niuov
the city defeated the wets. Atlanta
has not suffered from depression in
business, as some allege, because of
prohibition. At the end of two years
the terra expires, and I think we will
adopt a high license system."
The Sunday Reics contained excellent
cuts and biographical sketches of
Governor .Richardson and all his associates
in the States offices. It is a fine
looking body of men, and under their
charge we feel sure the ship of State
will be steered clear of all breakers.
It will perhaps he interesting to some
of our readers to read a portion of the
sketch of Major Leitner, the Secretary 1
of State, as he is a native of Fairfield:
Major W. Z. Leitner was born on
the 23rd of September, 1829, about 1
four miles southwest of Winnsboro, in '
Fairfield county. His father was 1
George Leitner, a large and very in- ,
telligent planter of that county. Hav- ing
received his preparatory education
at Shirley's Institute, near his home, 1
he matriculated at the South Carolina <
College in 1846, and was graduated in j
1849. Among his classmates were
Judge Simonton, Gen. James Conner,
Judge William Wallace, D. Wvatt ^
Aiken, Hon. J. P. Itichardson, and 1
other leading men of South Carolina, j
Leaving college, he taught in Shirley's ,
Institute for three years, being the
Latin and Greek tutor. He com- (
m- need the study of law in 18o2 in 1
the office of R. B. Boylston, of Winn6- j
UftTTinri- r+fO f{ o f in
j\j i auu wvvii ^iwviuttivu x *j j
law in 1854, he commenced to practice
in Winusboro, remaining there four
years. On the 2nd of June, 1858, he
married Miss Annie D. Dunlap, of
Camden, to which place he moved, and ?
has successfully practiced law there j
sinco, taking a prominent position at
:iie bar. 1
Major Leitner was warmly supported I
oy the Fairtield delegation at the nominating
convention in August. '

The correspondence of the News v
ind Courier from Washington says: a
Speaker Carlisle and Representative t
Morrison have arrived here for the
winter, and in consequence there is a
evival of the tariff question about the *
lotel lobbies. Messrs. Carlisle aud i
Morrison were together for a short j
;iine after their arrival, and after ex- a
changing the usual courtesies had a
)rief conversation about the probable L
>rder ot' business in the House this I
vintcr. Mr. Carlisle says an effort (.
>honld be made to consider some legis- j.
ation looking to a reform of the tariff, .
)ut owing to the shortness of the ses- 11
ion it is doubtful whether anything in j C
hat direction can be accomplished. ;
Hr. Morrison is very sore over his de-; p
eat and talks quite openly about the ! |
neans resorted to by the Protectionists j "
o st-cure his overthrow. He says his s
arifl'bill will probably be reachedinthe e
>rdinary run of business during the | c,
oming session, and he will exert j T
iimself to secure its consideration, j
ieprcsentative Hewitt will be in Con- \ o
frcss during the first month of the j g
ession, and as he is anxious that! rj
orae action should be taken on his j .
dministrative features in the bill they
rill pool their issues and work togeth- P
r for the consideration of ihe Morri- 11
on bill. Mr. Morrison recognizes the n
act that, to be successful, all factions .
f the Democratic party in the House lC
rill have to combine. He expresses P
, doubt whether the Randall wing of n
?ii.,?.?ii ,n all
the party will be willing to corae to
such an understanding. He says it
must not be forgotten that the approaching
session is a short one anil
many of the Randall Democrats may
insist that all tariff legislation shall be
shall be postponed until the Fiftieth
Congress.
Tiie London correspondent of the
Xew York iStai\ commenting upon
the fight against unjust rents by Irish
tenants, says:
The movement against unjust rents j
is increasing hourly in the most re- I
markable manner No combination
of tenants before attempted ever approached
this in the completeness of
its success. There is scarcely an estate
in Ireland, outside the rigidly Loyalist
districts in the North and the places
Iwlil n ^ I %?
W UC1 U SCi. WtiiJCWi. nau pibiiuu?> t.v.vii
effected, where the organization is not
established and making rapid headway.
Over three-fourths of the entire
area of Ireland it bids fair before
Christmas to embrace the occupies of
tlie land with scarcely an exception.
The movement is not confined to Catholic
and Nationalist communities; it
has extended to some of the Protestant
and Loyali>t districts and estates
where Catholic and Loyalist live side
by side. The tenants have gone too
far to recede. The landlords must
give reasonable atabements of rent, or
find arrayed against them the entire
nation beyond the borders of the foreign
colony, and a portion of their
own followers. Other members of
the National League are prepared to
follow in the footsteps of Dillon and I
O'Brien, and take their places when
necessary in the anti-unjust rent movement.
James Kellev is already acting
as banker of the money of tenants of
Roscommon. The attack on Dillon
may be regarded aa insuring the acquittal
of all agrarian prisoners to be
tried at the coining assizes. The country
understands the issue thoroughly
and is often ahead of its leaders then
lagging behind. Every hour the
nation is becoming more ungovernable
by the present Government; and recourse
to coercive measures increase
the difficulty enormously. As the
breach grows wider, coercion will
have to be more frequently resorted to
and will assume severer lortns, involving
sterner resistance. Thus the Government
is plunging the whole coun
try into disturbance and creating for
itself a situation that will eud in
breaking it to pieces, unless its present
policy is reversed. The ministry,
iti spite of its sudden show of vigor,
is in reality miserably weak and vacillating,
or would not be afraid to try
what a concession programme could
accomplish. But what can be expected
of men who resolve to shelve
Ireland and at the same time determine
to demand the cloture and gag
the Irish members?
An Explanation Seeded.
We learn from our exchanges that
(Japt. J. 1j. latue, an acKnowiedgeu j
Republican, has been appointed to aj
clerkship in the Internal Bureau of.
Revenue for the District of South:
Carolina, and that Mr. W. McB. Sloan |
was discharged to make room for his j
appointment. The facts as we arcable
to gather thein are about as fol- \
lows:
Major Bradley, the -Collector, who I
went into office by the appointment of;
Mr. Cleveland to succeed Major Bray- j
ton, the Republican Collector, found ;
in his office Capt. J. L. Little, an
acknowledged Republican of the deepest
dye. He at oncc discharged him
for reasons satisfactory to himself and
the public and appointed Mr. \V. McB.
Sloan to succeed him. On the 30ih
November Major liraciiey requesteu
Mr. Sloan to rcsisn. Mr. Sloan declined
to accede to the request without
reason? for his discharge, the on)v
reasons having been given that he was
engaged in other business, which virtually
admits did not interfere with
his business as deputy* collector. Mr.
Sloan having declined, Major Bradley
appointed Capt. Little to succeed him,
aud virtually kicked Mr. Sloan out of
the office. Public officials are always
the subjects of legitimate criticism,
and what we and thousands of other
citizens of South Carolina are anxious
to know is for Major Bradley to explain
why he turned Capt. Little off,

been reinstated, an acknowledge Republican,
and a good Democrat discharged
to make a piace for him. "Was
there no other Democrat competent to
511 the office? If Capt. Liitle was
competent, and no other reason existed
for his discharge except that he
svas a Republican, why wa9 he discharged?
If sufficient reasons existed
for his discharge, why discharge a
competent Democrat and reinstate
Little? We want light, and the public
lave a right to and do demand an explanation
from Collector Bradelv. We
Acknowledge that we are opposed to
civil service reform root and branch,
Mit the above is not & question in vol vng

md Mechanical College in South Caroiua
has just been made public, and
he following: items are some of the '
)rovi?iont> included in the bill.J

during the vacatiou under such
rules and regulations as shall be pre-,
scribed by the board of trustees.
Other sections of the bill provide
that every student of the College shall j
labor at least one hour each day upon '
the farm. And in case occasion demands
it the hours of labor maybe
increased to not exceeding three hours .
pur day at the discretion of the faculty.
Tuition fees shall be charged in '
the College to such amount as the i
board of trustees may deem proper, j

detailed report of the workings of
their several departments annually to
the president of the College, which
said reports shall be kept ou file in the
office of the secretary of the board of
trustee?. Agricultural operations on
the farm shall be carried on experimentally.
Careful experiments shall
be made annually of the field crops, in
keeping, feeding and latteuing stock,
and in the preparation and application

as an experimental station, making
trial from time to time of hew vai;e- j
ties of fruits, grains and vegetables'. I
The reports shall contain an account
of the management of all the several
fields, pastures, orchards *and gardens
of the College as designed by permanent
names or numbers, and shall give
an account of the preparation and enriching
of the land, the planting, cultivation,
harvesting and yield of the
crops, and disposition of the same.

breeds kept on the farm; also an
account of the students' labor* tpeciflu*
ftimsnnf- iiRpri in pach of the
several departments of the College,
with other details, in 6uch a way that
the reports as issued from yfe&r to year
shf.ll contain a continuous history of
the College, farm and garden.
That one-half of the land scrip fund
now appropriated to the South Carolina
College shall he appropriated to
the maintenance of the Agricultural
College. All surplus arising from
privilege tax on guano no* necessary for
the Agricultural Department is appropriated
in same manner, including all
moneys received from phosphate roy
ally over and above |200,000, and
that the said board of trustees are
authorized to commence the work of

the said College iu its boundaries.
The board is authorized to make a
requisition on the superintendent of
the penitentiary for any number of
convicts not exceeding one hundred,
such laber to be used iu construction i
of said College.
The foregoing, of course, is only an
outline of the bill proposed. It has j
many good feat ures, and if the proposed
College can be established with- 1
out an increase of taxation, we liearti- J
lv approve the bill and hope it will i
pass.

Everybody rides. No one thinks of
walking. Each family has its carriage
and saddle horse, and even the beggars
go about the streets on horseback.
It is a commo:: thing to be stopped on
the sireet by a ii rsmnan and asked for
a wcuusvu, wuiwu 10 wuuii twu uiiu u
half cents of our money. These incidents
are somewhat startling at first,
and suggest highway robbery, but the
appeal is made in such a humble, pitiiul
tone that the feeling of alarm soon vanishes.
"Forthe love of Jesus, Senor, give a

The vestibule* of the tenement houses
and the patois or courts which invariably
furnish a cool loafing-place in the
centre of each, are commonly paved with
the knuckle-bones of sheep, arranged in
fantastic designs like mosaic work.
They always attract the attention of
strangers, and it is a standing joke to
tell the tender foot that they are
the knuckle bones of human beings
killed during the many revolutions.
The ladies of Uruguay are considered
to rank next to their sisters of Peru in
beauty, and there is something about
the atmosphere which gives their complexion
a purity and clearness that are
not elsewhere found.
But when they reach maturity, like all
Spanish ladies, they lose their grace and
symmetry of form and become very
stout, xnis is unaouDtecuy owing in a
great degree to their lack of exercise,
for they never walk, but spend their entire
lives in a carriage or rocking-chair.

A Dangerous GIrL
In the country, not more than 15 miles
from Modesto, resides a young lady
who has developed into a perfect electric
battery.
The first evidence to that effect that
the younc lady had, presented itself to
heri few evenings ago. She was atout
to retire, and extinguished the light
in her room, and with a quick motion
rolled back the bed covering, when lo,
and behold! the bed immediately was
turned into a sheet of fire. The young
lady, much frightened, streamed
" "Fir* i" and afc th? same time crabbed
the bed covering in her arms.
"When the other members of the family
arrived at the door of the room they
found her standing in the middle of the
room in the midst of what seemed to
be a flame of fire, but no sooner
had . the bed clothes been taken
from her arms than the flames disappeared.
Experiments made by the young lady
since have proved that she has become
possessed of a vast amount of electricity,
which shows itself at every opportunity.
The young lady is not at all satisfied
with the phenomenon, as it requires the
greatest caution on her part to keep
from starting up a small bonfire by the
iiiiffhtMt mnvcmflnt of her haads.?

Pen Picture of an Eloquent Congressman.
Mr. ? was the talking member
of tho House of Representatives in the
Forty-ninth Congress. The impulse to
take the floor seemed to be irresistible
to him.
He made three speeches where any
other member made one.
There is nothing eloquent in Mr. 's
appearance. His figure is stumpy, and
a long-skirted frock coat doesn't improve
tho outlines. A very fat la.co.
which In repose is broadened by a grin,
conveys the impression that Mr.
may be a humorist. This impression is
dispelled soon after he gets tue floor.

Give him the case of a loyal widow
whose wood-pile melted away in the sixties
as the result of the proximity of a
camp.
For two minutes Mr. ? talks with
great gravity; then his arms begin to
swing. The perspiration comes out in
big drops and rolls down his face. His
voice quavers and takes on the tremolo
of the camp-meeting exhorter. At length
he weeps.
It seems as if he is about to be overcome
with emotion. Not so. He is now
in his red heat, and he maintain It until
tho rap of the gavel informs him that
his time is up.
Then the tears stop, the deep rich
color gradually recedes, the perspiration
unco, LUG uiuau law CA^OIIUO miu wau
happy look, and Mr. is serene and at
peace -with the world again.
To see Mr. work himself up to
orator pitch and let himself down to his
normal level without wrecking liis suspenders
was one of the entertaining features
of the Forty-ninth Congress.
Baked Milk.
Baked milk, a contemporary tells us,
almost equals cream in richness, and
will be found very beneGcial in all cases
where nutritious diet is advisable. It
will sometimes work wonders in consumptive
people.
The milk should be new, put into a
stone jar, tied over, and 6et in a slow
oven for some hours. If left in all night
so much the better. A hot oven will
have a different effect entirely; the
slower the oven, the thicker the milk
w.ll be.
It may be taken just as it is, while
warm, or if preferred, cold. It is better
to bake small Quantities, not more
than sufficient for each day's consumption.

She Gave Her Flower to God.
At a baby's funeral the family gathered
about the little open grave and each
one dropped into It a sweet fragrant
snowy blossom, the last souvenir of
aarthly love. All but one.
When it came to the youngest, a little
?trt of a few summers, to part with her
precious flower she held it lightly in her
-lasped hands, as if defying anyone to
;akeit from her.
"Give it with the rest," urged her
'ather, gently;44 mamma had to give up
lew."
44 Oh, but mamma gave her flower to
Jod," lisped the child instantly.
A suggestion that earried an infinite
ieac? Sato the hearts bowed down with
;ri?f.
