The Bean Party.?The "Bean Party" given under the auspices of the King's Daughters, of the Presbyterian Church, on Thursday evening, at the Thespian llall was a gratifying success. The entertainment in some of its features was quite a novel affair in Winnsboro. The denomination "bean party" comes from the fact that small bags filled with beans were thrown at an aperture in a box. The person throwing the beans in the opening the greatest number of times received a prize. The successful contestants were Misses Lillie Caldwell and Alice Witherow on the part of the ladies, and Mr. Max Sugenheimerand Master Boyce Elliott on the part of the gentlemen. The proceeds of the festival, including the refreshments sold were ?26.35, which will be devoted to a charitable purpose. During the evening the band discoursed some excellent music, for which the young ladies riosirfi to tender thanks. Evervone present seemed to enjoy the entertainment, and we wish for the King's Daughters even better success in the future.

In tho case of Julius Boulware the Judge charged the jury Monday afternoon, and adjourned the Court. On Tuesday the jury brought in their verdict of "Not Gnilty." The next cas6 taken np was the State vs. Isaac Miller, charged with arson. He was accused of burning the residence of A. M. Wallace. Ragsdale & Ragsdale for the defence. Verdict? "Not Guilty." The next case taken up was the State vs. Philip Martin, Anthony Thomas, Wm. Asgill, Virgil Vanderhorst, Jno. Henderson, Geo. Vanderhorst, and Ned Vanderhorst, assault and battery with intent to kill. The charge was something like a conspiracy to kill. They were accused of shooting into the house of Julius Boulware and wife. The argument was finished on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the Judge charged the jury and they retired. C. I A. Douglasa represented the defendj ants. Phillip and George Vanderhorst | were fonnd not guilty, and as to the j rest a mistrial was entered. The grand jury submitted the foli lowing presentment, after which they were discharged: PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY. Trt tho TTnn .T 77. TTuflsMi. Presidina I Judge: The grand jury respectfully submit the folio wiag presentment: We have actcd upon all the bills given out by the Solicitor and have, made such report thereon as seemed best to us* We have examined the books and offices of all the county officials and find them all, "without exception, properly kept and in good condition. The inmates of the jail were found to be well cared for and as comfortably fixed as is consistent with their safe keeping. ' A committee of our body visited the county poor house, and they make a very satisfactory report. The inmates, eleven in number, four white and seven colored, express themselves as well satisfied with their treatment, beiue comfortably housed and provi (led with au abundance of wholesome food. The management of the farm connccted with the poor house.is especially to be commended in making grain aud provision crops the sole object, thereby making the institution very nearly self-sustaining. The public roads are reported in bad condition generally, caused in great part by the recent heavy rains. Spccial report has been made of the road leading south from Peay's ferry to "Wateree river, known as the river road, as being in exceedingly bad condition, and that no work of any kind has been done on the same for some years past. The bridge over Little river, known as Glenn's bridge, is reported as being iu a very bad fix, and has been in this condition for nearly twelve months past. This bridge is a very important one ior me section ia waiua n, ia cated, and should receive immediate attention. The books of the trial justices have been examined and all found to be neatly and correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all fines and monies collected.

Respectfully submitted, J. C. Caldwell, Foreman. The first regular case on "Wednesday was the State vs. Thomas Hill, on two charges?assault with intent to kill, and malicious mischief. The defendant had confessed to the Sheriff and his deputy?Ragsdale & Ragsdale for the defence. Verdict?'"Guiitv." The case of the State vs. Chas. G. J Hoffman, charged with shooting Capt. J. D. Hogan, was then taken up, and In a comparatively short time a jury was organized. There has doubtless not been a case in the Court of Sessions for a number of year3 which has attracted as much interest as this one, tbe charge being assault and battery with intent to kill. OwiDg to the high etandiug of both parties, the court room was full to overflowing on Wednesday morning. The witnesses both **-- 11 - r,x-x A "nnfonnft TtTGV?> 10X" CD6 2*uu iuu i/viviiw it v* v also of high standing, and owing to the number of conflicting statements the jnrv had no pleasant duty to perform. We feel it unnecsssary to go into details of the tostimony owing to the above facts. The circumstances of the shooting were fully set forth, and the defendant relied upon an alabi as a defence, and the testimony of his witnesses tended to show the fact that he was at another point wlien tho shooting occurred. The testimony of a number of the witnesses for the State was to the effect that Mr. Hoffman was the guilty party. The defendant was represented by an able array of counsel, consisting of Messrs. Obear & Rion, Ragsdale & Ragsdale, and O. "W. Buchanan. Mr. Solicitor McDonald for the State. The testimony was closed late in the afternon. The Court then adjourned until Thursday morning. Tho attentldn of the Court was engaged all day Thursday with tho Hoffman Case. The attorneys for the de fence made long and able speeches for their client, and the Solicitor ably upheld the side of the State. After the charge, the jury retired and deliberated for some hours. On returning their verdict was announced, "Kot Guilty." The Court of General Sessions was then adjourned and the Court of Comj mon Pleas was opened. There being no jury cases ready the jurors were discharged until Monday, and the time of tbe Court was occupied in hearing and signing various orders. Un Jb'riaay me uourt was aim engaged with civil cases of no especial interest to the general public.. Thos. Hill, convicted on two charges ?assault with intent to kill and malicious mischief?the only prisoner convicted at this court, was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the penitentiary and one dollar fine on one charge and three and a half years and $350 fine on the other. The Court met on Monday and resumed the hearing of civil cases. The first case tried was that of Smith, I Mclver: & Co., rs. G. B. Pettigrcw, action I on cote. Verdict for Plaintiff for 822.20. Ragsdale & Kagsdale for Plaintiff, McDonald & Douglass for Defendant The land case of Farrington vs. Duval! was then taken mp, but was not concluded when the Court adjourned.

Mr. -SjHr: I commenced to farm in 18-lj, a?ii say in all candor that from tbe 1st ^BBmber to present date I have never s<*^Bhe weather so unfavorable for the ^Hring of the late crop of cotton or so inJ^Rs to the early boils, in causing thenBKot and 05en imperfectly. In this sectiwof the comity it rained more or less e\?,r day up to the 10th, at which time we l*d a freshet in Little river of sufficient height to overflow-all the bottoms and destroy the corn, as also in Broad river, with the same result. From the 10th to the 15th there was very little or no rain, but not much sunshine to hasten the opening of cotton, or for its maturity, when it commenced to rain again in a drizzling wav, at intervals, with but little sunshine to the 18th. I marked four shapes which could "be just discerned on July 16tb. One. bloomed first day of August, fifteen day?, two on the second, the other on the third. I again marked three on the 17th August. Twobloouied on the 18th September, thir ty-two days, the other on the 20th. Last year I marked three on tiio 17th August, and thr.y bloomed on the 7th September, twenty-two days, which goes to show that the cloudy, rainy weather has retarded the maturity of crop ; also, that the growing of cotton this year, to make shapes since jucix oi August win ue 01 no ueuem. a nu middle crop seems at the present time to be the only hope, as the early bolls were greatly damaged and the late a failure, or nearly so. The yield of crop, I can't think, will exceed three-fourths, with favorable weather from now on, and with an early frost may be reduced to twothirds. 1 don't think the farmers ever experienced a mor>j gloomy outlook than ?t present The wheat crop a failure, or nearly so, oats^orry, corn on bottoms destroyed, their oniy hope is that the price of provisions will not advance much, and the injury to the cotton crop being general, the price will advance, if the ''bulls" and "bears" don't combine so as to keep it at present ratek I think om Legislature should do everything they Bn in the way of legislation to reduce tax?on, and by all means have nothing to M with an agricultural college, or the Clerr^on bequest. The Lancaster Ledger say^: "If the State accepts Mr. Clemson's proposition she obligates herself to spend atjkast ?100,000 the first year. Are the labxmg classes able to stand it ? We say de^Tcdly no; and that they are not willing to take upon themselves any such burden at this time." In your paper of the 12th inst. 1 read: "The State will be asked to appropriate two hundred thousand dollars to pay lor buildings, and fifteen thousand dollars pnnually for the support of the institution, while Mr. Clemson will give one hundred thousand dollars and five thousand dollars annually for support. Should the State at any time tire of the bargain the money expended would be lost and the property ' -i v - 1 J 4-* WCf ?u ye iObi< auu wit" yr.JWivv icvcio lu the heirs of Mr. (Vcs.jon." All the farmers with whom I have conversed on the subject are decidedly opposed to the State giving aid to an agricultural collcgc of any description at this time. -t. o, -- i ii 1 WILL YCU SUFFER with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint?

Mr. Editor: 1 have been so much accustomed of late to sympathize aud harmonize with your editorials that it becomes rather a task to say to von what an old preacher once said when he became rather tangled up in one of the difficult passages in Eomans: "I would beg leave to differ a little from the Apostle." But I.shall only throw myself upon your mercy and hope for the best. Your article of the 12th inst. throws light on the Clemson bequest. Thanks for it. But while you express no decided opposition to its acceptance, you still think "it is hardly wisdom on the part of the State to enter into such i contract, as is proposed in the Clem son Will." Your correspondent be lieves that it is the part of -wisdom tc accept it, and to accept it with, man) thanks. I assume, of course, in th"( outset, that it is the wish of the State to have an agricultural college, and 01 this assumption shall express a few thoughts. 1. The Clemson bequest i3 made ex pressly for a purpose desired by th< State. Now, your objections to its ac ceptance are three: (1.) The build ings would cost the Statcy $170,000 Surely it would cost no less were w< to reject th? donation. But is then t 1 Illl 11^1 1JP ' JL-L" W W IM Fi JU Ji ?5i J i has purchaser- one of the largest sad :e through ocr !?.rs:c store, that we have tell you something.

We guarantee price and qu -gsr :olors) and other nice P~*ss Gc ;d of that. r THE MARKET IS | any necessity for that amount to be I raised at the "beginning?in its infancy? Did the collegelu Mississippi cost that at the commencement, or did it grow gradnaly? Have such institutions no income." Is it all outlay? Nature's plan is to make an oak from an acorn. The bequest also furnishes the land, which the State would otherwise have to buy, and I infer the land is worth 820,000. This, with say So,GOO annual income (a perpetual income) and unlike amounts raised by the State, which may be wasted, and nothing left to fall back on. (2.) Your second objection" consists in the probability of a failure", i. e., "The Slate at any time tire of her bargain." Who anticipates a failure ? This is the very way to fail. The Slate determining on having an agricultural college, we have need to burn our ships and thus cut olV retreat, and the Ciemsoa bequest is a strong inducement to this, for the bequest in4 \ ^ 1 ( 111 A UI'UUsSUvJ LiiU piVyuyiutj kji. vyzjtj ; of the most fatal things to success is discouragement, and one of the most helpful is cheerfulness. We must expect to succeed. Surely the State would not enter inco this without counting the cost. Has she not sagacity enough to see the end from the beginning? Where such a State as ours cleterniincs ip succeed, success is sure. (3.) Your third objection is that the State has has not the absaluie control of the'property. So much the better. It is fixed on her so she may have ail the benejii, and yet cannot waste it. Hot,* many do just this for the beneSt Of their children? But assuming the State becomes tired of her contract, she would return only what had been given to her. The property is in the State and for the ' I o i~ A n * ~ /-?*' (vnetnoe on. oitiiu. lu inu \j? 11 unpointed by the donor, and their successors, I feel no fear that they would act detrimental to the true interests of their own beloved State. As to the name, I would not pay S100,000 for the mere pleasure of having "The South Carolina Agricultural College" instead of the "Clemson Agricultural College," especially as the latter would benefit the State as much as the former. Besides, it would be an honor to the State, as well as the endorsement of a noble example to have the name of such a citizen immortalized.
