Dr. Burchard, of political notoriety, is enjoying Rest, Refreshment and Recuperation at Saratoga. Ouk low-couutry friends want two more counties. One to be called Cleveland, with the court-house at T*?chrtnviNf?; the other Florence, wilh the coart-house at Florence. As soox As the Ohio campaign shall be fairly opened the responsibility for the drought and bad crops at the "West will be unhesitatingly placed upon the Democratic party.. 3.7.3A New England man has just had a patent granted to him for "an elec- I trie switch." It is warranted to make j the dirtiest small boy alive confess i that he has been in swimming. At the meeting of the New Jersey State Pharmaceutical Association the seven candidates for admission failed to pass the examination. Each was v asked to name a cure for a mosquito bite and couldn't. There is considerable lidelihood that Sister Belva Ann Lockwuod will run for President next year. She is J solidly in favor of her nomination, and she constitutes a clear majority of the Belva Loekwood party. / Somebody has started a silly story to the effect that Mr. Glaastone is coming to America as the guest of Mr. Blaine. If Air. Iximisione ever cuujv-? j to America at all, -which is doubtful, ! he will be the guest of the whole American people. Ives, the "young Napoleon of finance," has succeeded in getting himself before the Courts, but the books, it is said, that would furnish the only evidence against tno audacious young gambler of other people's money, have -been mysteriously taken from the vault. "Crime is not always illogical." Jay Gocld is under bond. The bond is that he will fo6t the bill if it j . can be judiciously shown in Judge Brown's United States District Court that hispleasure yacht, the "Atalanta," did SI05 damage to the caual boat "William E. Cleary" on May last, when the canaler lay "safely moored at the pier in Yonkers." Tiie people of this State seem very wisely determined not to allow the insanity of a few small-bore politicians to force the prohibition issue into the politics of this latitude. The recent defeat of these "political refWrmprs." imnronerlv so-called, in Anderson and Laurens counties is a matter for public congratulation. . _ Bex Butlfr has not yet joined the ^ j Anti-Povertv Society. This is liable to mean that there will be five Presidentiol candidates in the field next ^ year. With a Democrat, Republican, Anti-Povertyite, Butler and a ProhiV bitionist in the field, the most fastidious voter will have a chance to find some one approaching his ideal. jjg Peince Ferdinand's politics have the "audacity of genius;" there is k little room to doubt this, bat there are now many people who are beginning t * to fear that he may repeat the experim ence of the courageous little quadRtf rnped that once tackled the steam engine and leave the world to admire his' f pluck and despise his judgment. It may as well be admitted that the . love of titles is inborn in human nature. The less reason there is for conferring or wearing tnem me strongly?. er the desire for their possession. For ?1^ a people professing rigidly republican iff principles and peculiarities, we lavish j| these cheapening destructions upon one onother in a most wasteful way for the preservation of their shadowy value.

Bat ' ro one hears of any excitement in , K. \ Georgia, and so far Georgia retains j B \ the authority to pass laws governing . T" \ its schools.

Barrett's Imperial Cologne s Cannot be surpassed for Fragrance, ele- ^ gance and durability. McMaster, Brice <fc Ketchin. t! i The St. Louis Globe Democrat takes exception to the reported remark of Speaker Carlisle, that the Labor party in this country is unnecessary. This paper holds that it is highly necessary, to be used "to give the Republicans a hand in driving the Democrats out of power in 1888." In point of fret, we think it will be found that the third parties on this issue have played into " -- -i'-- (l.ai tiie nanus 01 one or mu ou?;i u* leading parties in the nation, though the Republican claim in the case seems to have been put in somewhat prematurely. Tiik fight between the socialists and the Ilenry George wing of the United Labor party increases in bitterness. The building trades section of the Central Labor Union at its meeting on Friday took a very decided stand in favor of the action of Mr. McMackin against that of the socialistic labor men. The proceedings in the Eighth iisseijioiv tusiriut shv >v vvi Luav socialistic element is in the ascendant in that locality, and that the same condition of affairs was very apparent at the meeting in the Tenth Assembly district on the same evening. 31 r. i'rye. Our contemporary, the Hornet, quotes Mr. Frye on the matter of wages paid to European operatives. This is all right, but who is Mr. Frye that he should be quoted upon this question in this latitude? Is he a ;c ho innimfactarer: or is XwWVAVi. ? ic -.- w ? -?? j he a politician whose tenure of public office depends upon liis ability and willingness to sacrifice his convictions of truth upon the altar of popular prejudice? Which is lie? Let us get at what the lawyers would call the ''bias" of tiie witness. Why did Mr. 1'rye not go on and say that tbe English operative might buy himself in his home market a shirt for his sixtj*two cents, whereas if he wore an American in America he would have to pay one dollar for the same garment. In morals there would seem to belittle distinction between thesuvpressio veri and the false affirmation. ??^^"Wanted. "VVe would like to ask the promoters of the scheme for a separate agricultural college what it is they propose to have taught in that institution. Will they publish, what in their judgment should be the curriculum of the college, and give a list of the te::t books which they would have used? Let us come down to hard facts. If they can show the oppponents of this measure that there is enough in this subject of agriculture to engage the attention of a corps of professors, they will have scored one very important point in favor of tneir scheme. But if the proposed institution is to be set up t? teach the same things which are taught at the Citadel Academy and in the South Carolina College. then we have no use for it. The people of this county are toe poor just now to indulge in luxuries of any sort. Let the advocate of the measure tell us what it is they want established; we have heard enough of the sonorious phrase "An Agricultural College." We want to know what it is thai ihe college is to do.

The strong and unselfish traits of human nature are brought strikingly into contrast with the weak and selfish on such occasions as the railroad disaster at Chats worth. The story of the young girl who, after finding herself uninjured in the crash, went steadily to work in the dreadful scene caring for the wounded, while inanv physically strong men were useless and nerveless from horror, is instructive. Perhaps the real strength of her character was never before revealed. The opportunities for severely testing are not frequent. There are unsuspected capacities for heroism in many quiet and unobtrusive persons who move about us in daily life, and there are many of essentially cowardly instincts who pass in our thoughts for brave and self-reliant ?-' f oi?o ?n LUUil. t > IUU SUl ttiV in store for us when the curtain is thus suddenly lifted 011 individual character!

There is a glorious wife growing up for some-! body.?J\r. T. World, An Awful Warning. A series of frightful railroad disas.ers?miscalled accidents?has at last fixed general attention upon the mismanagement of our railwav sarvice. [11 rapid succession wc have been brought to a terrible realization of the principal dangers of railroad travel in this country. We have witnessed the horrors of trains burned by car stoves, 3f trains bursting through bridges and of trains leaping the track on ;urves. It were as though Providence,. wearied of man's parsimony, negligence and imbecility, had at last ;hrust a warning before him so em- , phatic iu appeal, so hideous in aspect ihat the most careless attention must . )e held, the most eallous indifFerence errified into obedience. < It is our deliberate judgment, as it < s the public sentiment of the country . tnd the private opinion o.7 railroad 'Xpert?, that all three of the disasters ! o which we refer?at Dedha^; at i ?iper City and at Washington?and j he shocking loss of life could have j >een avoided with ordinary foresight ,ud sagacity. ! We will not take up the discussion 1 if the car stove at this moment. We tope and believe that that murderous nakeshift has burned its own story so ] leep into the soulless bodies of rail- s oad corporations that the coming < pinter will witness ks complete ban*- * shment. It is more to our purpose to j * Iwell upon the two other dangers j. ' * -i. * i j rnicn nave just Deen so uuinuiy um-1 hasized.?X. Y. Star. ! i Another subject is here offered for t egislative interference, and it is very ? lard to say, too, what should be done n the premises, but it is evident that ornething must be done. One of the * Mcuities of the situation arises from lie fact that the railroads of the conn* 1 try arc in the hands of one set of gam blcrs to-day and another to-morrow, and the sole object which they all have in view is the almighty dollar. "When their negligence or their folly has brought disaster, then they make their employees [come forward and swear the thing through before the coroner's court. Some way will have to be found to reach the officials, to simply make the company liable in damages doesn't seem to reach the trobie. A Comparison. A correspondent of the JVett'S and Courier, writing upon the subject of an agricultural college uuder date of August 13, gives some very interesting facts with respect to the work which is now being done by the South Carolina College in comparison with what is being done by the now much extoled Mississippi Agricultural College. The correspondent says: The charge that the farmer's son canuot obtain a practical mechanical education can be directly disproved. Thirty or forty students during the past year have been engaged in labor in the workshops of the South Carolina College, and when they shall have cojnpleted their course they will know more about ordinary wood and iron 1- it WOl'K LJiUIl XXiaXiV (JI llic wi^cuicisauu blacksmiths in the State, besides being thoroughly trained in mechanical drawing and in the theory of machinery, kinematics, mechanical technology, etc. It is a question of taste whether it is better for the farmer's son, or lawyer's, or doctor's, or preachers son to pay money in college to learn how to lork manure, cut wood and chop cotton, without knowing how to handle tools, or to permit him to acquire the details of unskilled labor at home, and learn at college how to frame buildings, weld tires, sharpen Dlouffhs, risr up machinery and do other skilled operations which would otherwise entail a loss of tfmc and money. The Mississippi College pursues the former course; the South Carolina the latter. Manual labor is required in both places, the only difference being that the South Carolina College gives that training which cannot be given at home, while the Mississippi College, during its seven years of existence, has taken no steps to give instruction in the use of tools, or other skilled mechanical labor. As already said there are between thirty and forty students iu the South Carolina College acquiring this practical mechanical training. The charge, then, that the farmer's son cannot secure this training must be charitably ascribed to sheer ignorance, but' to ignorance hardly excusable, since a half hour's j visit to the College or five minutes perusal of its catalogue would have aispeiieu 11. This is the point which we have been driving at. This is a free country, and alnost anything that wants to do so can call itself a college. The "Horncfandits Economic Creed. Our contemporary, the Charlotte Ilomet, tells us what it is that North Carolina needs a "tariff plunder" to protect. The Hornet says : "The best interests" of North Carolina which will be materially affected by the abolition of the present tariff are its cotton mills. Our sister State of South Carolina would, as well as we, lose hundreds of thousands of dollars and become depopulated within six months after the flood gates of free trade would be open to all comers. Does The Herald believe that th3 South can compete with England and other parts of the old world in the manufacture of cotton goods with the wages now paid in those countries and all other expenses in proportion? We do. And we believe that we wiil still be able to do it even after "the flood gates of free trade"' have been lifted upon us. Why can we not compete with "England and other countries in the manufacture of cotton goods?" We certainly enjoy some advantages over them. As between ourselves and the English manufatures, for example, we would, not have to pay the cost of carrying the raw material over three thousand miles of billows. And as regards the American market we would not have to pay the cost of transporting the product of the loom back again over the same tnree thousand miles. Is this item worth nothing? But onr contemporary will answer that these advantages are more than overcome by reason of the fact that the English manufactnrer operates his factory with "pauper labor." Now let us rise to the unpractised virtue of candor. Does our contemporary not know that the difference in wages paid to operatives in this country and England is nominal and not real? Does the Hornet not know that the sixty-two ceuts paid the English operative will go as far in England towards purchasing the "necessaries" of life for himself and family as the ninety-five cents of the American operative will go here? Then why talk about "pauper labor" of Europ e and the poor food that it lives on? Dons the Hornet not know that com petition, monopolies, etc., have combined both in England ond in this country to drive wages down to the low water mark of a bare subsistance? What hope does life hold out even now, in free America, to the wagewinners in field and factory? The protective tariff brings 110 salvation to them. t.-. /.ah/i]iip!aii rrrn ttrrtlll/1 tqv trt hilt* Ill WUWlUiVi., ??v. contemporary that we believe that when the "flood gates of free trade" have been lifted, that trade will besome normal; that the field of onr commerce will be enlarged and the demand for the products of looms multiplied; that millions of our countrymen will be freed from an industrial servitude, that is cruel and needless, and that the blessings of freedom ind happiness will go to habitations iiitherto unvisited by such experiences.

Editors: In all business, trades, merchandise, banking, etc., we look around for the best, most : available man, intellectually, to fill all places of importance and trust. Men in whom we can place implicit confidence as to their integrity, houesty and willingness, as shown by their iMi/ms in Hniwr the best thev can under the circumstances for the interests, or to advance the interests of the individuals, associations or the enterprise for which they have been chosen, i. In banks, if an officer shows that his integrity and ability is equal to the position into which his fellowmen have placed him, is he readily moved to make place for another favorite? Or is he retained as long as his efficiency redounds to the good of that ba-.ik? The latter has been the modus operandi of that institution of finance, and show me if you can a more pros? ~ ~ Ttfftll onf aP mAtt than ptjlfua aiju ? tirnruu cvi m\.n LUUH tkose engaged in the money enterprise?. None. I hold that their success is owing to?first, selecting good, : efficient men to transact the affairs; second, a close attention to the man- ' ner of administering or attending to the duties incumbent upon the men , whom they have entrusted to run-the bank. Now if this is applicable to banks < and other enterpries, why do we of Fairfield not apply the same reasoning in our political selection of men for our General Assembly? If it ho-Jds < good in private enterprises, why will it not do in the selection of our'legis- < lators and Senators in whom we as a ] 1 neonle are so closely allied? Their < actions in our legislative halls affect each one of us directly. Without a ; doubt ail measures coining before that i body is or ought to be for the good of , counties separately aud the Slate at < large generally. I say each county ; separately, meaning that a law which i would work good in Charleston would ] do evil in the upper counties. So in j selecting men to represent us in the j Legislature do you not see that we ] should take the best and most available men we have. When we have j done that, and find out by their actions in the law-making body of onr State < that they are of a high "tone of duty, j not only to their constituents at home, j but to the State as a whole, would it j be a wise policy to change tkem or ' either of them at the next general j election which follows?

Could they detect an effort < of the shrewd railroad man in trying to get their vote, simply because ft would cause the railroad to spend a few thousand dollars in constructing a draw-bridge across a s.,ream so as to , pnahlA steam bonis to ascend or descend ; it, carrying freights from one point to < another, thereby benefitting the poor j farmer to a greater extent than dam- s aging the railroad in the change made? f I have been informed that suc.h an affair has taken place before one of < oui- Legislatures of not so long ago, i and but for the old members and the i chairman the shrewd railroad magnate 1 would have gained his point and the < cheapening of freights by a water ' traffic to tbe city would have been defeated. Then ought we not to look closely into the merits of all whom we send to our General Assembly? If those there are not the right 'men, let us replace them by better men, if we have them, even if we are forced 10 compel some who have been there to return, notwithstanding their refusals, should they do so. Vice versa, if those there have done their duty, then I am the last man to detract ought from them, and say, "Well done, faithful servant, enter thou again.-"' 'Tis not an idle thought to begin to look closely in all of the acts of our public men.

Editor: In the Watchman and Southron of the 20th ult., I notice au article copied from the ^Walterboro j Star, sharply criticising Mr. Withers, j n lotft m-iflnntA nf thr> Sontli Carolina i College, from Fairfield county, for [ using the following language, it is said, in an addreess before one of the College Societies: "It is now very difficult to hang a white man in South Carolina for killing another white man, out it is impossible to hang one for killing a negro. This is justified by saying that he is only a negro." The critic in the Star offers no evidence to disprove the charge Mr. Withers is credited with making in the above extract, as he should have done, but simply pronounces it a slan cler wortnv ot tue moutn oi -jouh i Sherman, and unworthy of a graduate ot the College and a Carolinian. iJ quote from memory. Tt is evidence ' of a weak cause when one attempts to answer another in reproachful language instead of arraying against his ! opinions facts and arguments. I propose, Mr. Editor, with your consent, briefly to prove that Mr. Withers has a basis of truth for what he is charged with saying. I did not suppose that any one of ordinary intelligence could deny the difficulty of hanging a wnite man, while it is well 1 ? xl. A. -?

Can it be posible, of these numerous homicides, not one was found to have that essential element the law requires to constitute the crime of murder? We answer it does seem impossible. It does seern then us far as the white man is concerned that the law against murder, for the last quarter of a century, is a dead tetter upon the statute book of the State?as dead as the victims of the knife, the pistol, and the shotgun. wio jn fho fnf.nrfi TT XiWlXiV^i ib AO iv WKiiuv ww ....... ? I ilonc can reveal. .Now, as to the negro, I believe it is safe to say that there is but a solitary inslancc in the history of our criminal law in this State where a white man has been hung for killing a negro. That occurred some vrars before the late war, in the lower section of the State. While our Courts have not been able to find a white man guilty Df murder, they have found it easy to convict negroes of that crime and many have been executed. Whether it is because the negro is "only a negro" may or may r.ot be the cause assigned for the cheapness of negro life,"but the fact remains all the same that it is easy to find a vordict of murder when the slayer is a negro. When a government ceases to pro tcct the iives or aij classes 01 its people alike, it v.o longer subserves one important end for which governments are instituted?the safety of human life. Instead of censure, then, I hold that Mr. Withers deserves thanks for his manly exposure of wrong in t! <; administration of justice in the Courts of this State. And let those who revile him, remember public wrongs arc not redressed by decrying them or condoning them by plausible excuses. Tlmmot Toffovenn tVif? crrpflf.
