Wednesday, Jane 7, - - - lSirtJ x" W H ELLERBE Tbe people of th** jJta'e cJj> ply sympathize with Mrs Ellerbe in htr sorrow. In sorrow ami distress there ie, and shoul1 be, no bitrer political feeling. However some of ns may have differed wi:h ?overnjr -EUerbe in bis policy, stUI webeii-ve tLat it was generally admitted that his iutentions were good and thit he devised what he conceived .was best for the State. He made the mistake of trying to please everybody, and eoneeqnently he pleased few. It u.nst be admitted tbat his administration began under hard circumstancos. tie mnernea from pri?r administrations vexing unsettled questions, and they continually plagued hU administration. We have no doubt (bat the end of Governor Ellerbe's life wa? acc jlei a'ed by the duties ?fhij office, and in this senst it may be truthfully said that he gave hi* life for the service of his State. Had be remained on hi? plantation, where be could have plenty of out door air and been free from mental anxiety and worry, doubtless bis life would have b3en prolonged Canvassing Soath Caro'ini in mid-summer in the kind of campaigns that we have had in recent years is a tremendous strain upon the nervous system and physical powers of the strongest. Naturally a frail physic, it was a severe tax on Governor Ellerbe. He bad many warm and strong friends, who?e implicit confideucc he ?h?*rtn rvH*\nf HID Aaroof 4iViS% V UAUVUV Uig ^/VUWVtil vu? vvi They knew him best. THE >EW GOVERNOR Lieutenaut Governor M. B. McSweeney formally succeeded Governor EUerbe on Saturday nfcht. Mr. McSweeney is what's known as a self-made man. His parent? died when he was an infant, and he began as a little boy to struggle for himsell in a printing office. He obtained a scholarship in Washington and Lee University, bat was forced to abandon his college coarse for the lack of money to pay his board. He went back to the printer's case, and has stuck to it through life. He is now ? -proprietor and editor of the Hampton Unarcnao, oue oi tne Dest county papers in the State. ' Mr. M*.Swecney is a man of good character, good common sense and possesses good badness qualifications. y.'SBv^News and Herald does not ^^"cl&im thaTiUo^ the oolf - newspaper in the United Stales to say is effect that the Philippine Islands would cost ds more than $20,000,000, bat it may be mentioned that when it was announced that the peace commission had agreed that America should pay this sum, we then siid that the islands would be a never ending source of trouble and would cost the United States many times the $20,000,000 and the aacrifice of many lives. It was not a hard thins to predict. The in habitants are totally different from as, in every respect, and it wjs not to be expected that they would understand us. Besides'there was a strong suspicion that in some quarters these islands were wanted purely for speculation purposes, and that they were to r be,taken to satisfy tbe greed of this element. We also said that rebellions would break out at frequent intervals, and they would not be easily put down. The cost to the United States is already many times twenty million dollars, and the end is not in sight. Geo. Otjs has advised Secretary Algei 30,000 men are needed. The rest that Gen. Otis says iu this dispatch is not made public. A call willgbe made for [10t009 men to increase the army 5h the far east. JVe are just beginning to see how high imperialism comes, and the stats p act is still going on. Sojce of tha newspapers are trying hard to open the campaign for Governor. Ex-Governor Shepperd, Lient. Gov. McSweeney, and Col. Jones arc beiog advertised. Can't we have a rest this snmmerfrom politics?

Of courso this is an excusable tvpo- \ graphical error. _ - I f^Jiow^'fo resume: After returning i< from our trip to Fort Sumter on j ] Thursday r .ernoon, we found a small steam tug called "Sea Gall," which agreed to carry us the battleship i Raleigh. So we paid the fare and 1 vrent ahnnrd. When we reacbea the vicinity of the big vessel there were j perhaps a dozen other craft lying along ! side of her and as near as they cjuld j get; but our captain nosed his boat in j between two other?, and wers soeu j clambering aoross the deck of the one , lying between ocrs a ad the big ship, j and then up the steps leadiog to her ; deck, and in less time perhaps than it takes me to write it oar entire party are walking on and in and over the gallant ship with a very polite little soldier or marine by the name of Jas. j X. Stewart, from Washington, D. C., I who spared no pains in snowing auu explaining everything to us in a most { pleasant raauner; so polite was he, and ! withal so handsome in his nice clean aaifor.ii, that I rather think one of oar young ladies kinder fell?not down one of the hatchways?bat a victim to Cupid'* dart. We inspected the vessel from deck to bold, laid our bauds upon the rift-iguu that fired the first at the Sp uiiah fleet io the harbor of far away Mii'ili; and not onlv- so, bnt turned the crank by which it was set to bear on the SpmUsh ve-sel. One of our laiies secured as a si>uveuir a hard tack, which one of the marines painted tor her t.'ie color of the vessel itself. Your correspondent having served out bis hard tack period in ihe sixties didn't care to invest. ? i We were also shown a lorpeao ana the arrangement for firing it Oar visit was altogether satisfactory, onr boat allowing us all the time we wanted, aad the marines showing all courtesy and consideration we con'd desire, and we left with pleasant recollections aad good will for all, and "after a delightful lit;le sail landed again at the wharf and returned to our city home, and after supper went down te the Battery Park and strolled over its pleasant walks. This is a most delightful place to epeud an hour or two under the live oaks or sitting on the rustic chaira looking out over the bay or walking around on the battery and watching the vessels of varir*n? sizes coining and 2oin??some propelled by steam and others by the wind?while ever and anon the delightfa! sea breeze fans your oheek, producing a mo3t gratelul sensaiion. Here too is the Ja3per monument, erected in memory ot Sergeant Ja?per of Revolutionary fame, who when the flig staff was shot away leaped ' over the wall of Fort Moultrie and I replaced it amid the raging of the " battle with th8 shout, "L?t us not ( fight without our colors " The Sims i monument is also here, and recently there has been erected here, facing . Meetins street, a neat granite shaft in ' memory of the Confederate dead, and on its eastern and western faces jets have been arranged from which flow a constant stream of pure, sparkling , artesian water, with a an cap attached to each for the accommodation of visitors. The artesian water of . Charleston is said to come from a depth of fifteen hundred fcet^bekxw the surtace, apd with, ice?ifi^Ttis quite" palatable, baring only a slight mineral flavor, something like soda.

There are a few of our farmers that are ahont throncrh choooing cotton; some are just commencing. The ?ottoo has been rather slow abcut coming up, especially on high places. Yonng corn which was planted before the showers of last week is np to a perfect stand and looking well. Old corn is also doing well considering the drought it has had to stand. Gardens are a failure, owing, we suppose, to the dry weather and the appearance of numerous kinds of insects, some of which are playing havoc with cabbage and in some places completely destroying Irish potato vines. They seem to be worse on Irish potatoes than other plants. The small grain crop is being harvested jast now. Oats ^re better thin was at one time expected. The stalk is rather short, but it has a very heavy grained head, which makes even better food for stock than if ^ 'twa3 larger. t The wheat crop also is better than s (vrnefited. esneelallv where the r '* ? ? sr / ?i' % stand was tbin. This fact can very c easily be accounted for, though as the s lack of rain at the appropriate time ^ caused fhe numerous branches that t always come from the main root to be less than would bave been had there r been a superfluity of water at the dif- \ ferent stages of its growth; thereby giving the remaining branches the ! advantage of the scanty moisture and j rainfall of April and May. The head in such cases is heavy enough, being ? extra large for .the stalk. j The fruit crop nas almost completely destroyed by the cold weather c in the early spriDg, only leaving a j few apples, and almost all of those . have fallen off. Quite an enjoyable occasion was had i at the hospitable residence of Mr. E. A. Davis on the night of the Slst ull. i Lemonade and cake was served quite a bonntifally.

I I Afier the very wet and exceedingly cold winter we have bad a very dry spring. The farmer* were very backward in pieparing their lands and f planting their crops. There was a * great deal of wheat and oats sown 1 during the fall and winter. The early f sown will make a fair crop, but the r late will be almost a complete failure. The corn crop, though very irregular, is lookine- verv well. Cotton on 1 Sandy land is generally a good stand and has a healthy appearance: that on clay land is coming up nicely and witb another good* rain would be ready for working in a few days.

The Michigan S.ate industrial school for girls 19 being investigated by a legislative committee and some <>f the witnesses tell harrowing tales of the most dreadful crne'ty practiccd npon the students by 1 he teachers. As teported In the Chicago Record, one of the pupils, Annabeiia Echtinaw, wa9 giv?n a hot bath, ihe water being heated from a steam coil in the bottom of the tub. One of the teachers, Miss Oaks, who was present, described it as follows: The girl cried out: "'Are you g'. i-g to scald me?"' She was held in t*^nty minutes aud on coming out b came unconscious and died within rwen y minuf.es. Miss Oaks said hot baths were a method of punishment. She also testified to holding a girl's hands while Mrs. Sickles gave her twentyfive or thirty blows with rubber tur>cnlif int.rt nippp.s. She had a!so 1U6 "i"" ? ? seen girls' month3 covered with courtplaster for answering back. One of the pupils testified tbat she had been stripped and given thirtysix lashes with a rubber hose as a punishment for a remark about one of tha teaehers. She was black and blue for a month. The report continues: Mrs. Helen M. Babcock, a former housekeeper at the school, testified tbat the beatings the girls got were sickening. Une instance sne spo^e 01 was .that of Bessio Force, who had been* impertinent. Mrs. Sickles tore ofl her clothes and gate her thirty blows, after she had been in a solitary cell. Mrs. Brbcock continued. "'Why don't yon cry? said Mrs. Sickles, when she finished. Bessie was as white as a sheet and trembliDg. Sheaaid: 4I can't cry, Mrs. Sickles.' You'll cry or I'll kill you. Take off your clothes,' said Mrs. Sickles. Bessie \ nfT* her clothes. Mrs. Sickles | went into another room and got a j trnnk strap about an inch and a quarter wide. She made Bessie lie across a sofar there in the office and gave her, very deliberately, about ten blows on the naked limbs. I could not bear the spectacle, so I stood at a window and looked out. Bessie was screaming: 40h, Mrs. Sickles, don't kill me! don't kill mc!' " All of this occurred in a State college for girls in Michigan. As an evidence of barbarity it is pretty conclusive, but no one will be so foolish as to believe ou that account that Michigan is not civilized, although the occurrences certainly do not speak woll for that State. It would seem that there is a fine field for Mrs. Home and her Boston co-laborers who have worked themselves up to such a pitch over southern bafbarism. One of their own sex is accused of scalding a tender young girl to death; which, to 9iy the least, is as barbarous and cruel as burning a negro tnan. Neither is to be excas?d or condoned, bnt we should all be creful to avoid drawing general inferences from exceptional occurrences 7 98. \ ^ The above figures tell a remark-^ J able story; they represent almost k y exactly the percentage of cures ^ made by ) Rheumacide \ ^ the wonderful new constitutional f A cure for RHEUJIATISM.
