Ill I'-'ti" iff I I I The Press and Banner | Wednesday, March 3, 1886. ttorioutt Question. Groat loads of gimno have been going out of | town every day for two weeks. We take it | for granted that our farmers have thoroughly i tested or analysed their lands, and know the I component parts of the alleged fertilizers! which tliey have bought. and are therefore, satisfied that they have bought that variety ; of fertilizer which is rich 1r those qualities of j which they know their land to he poor. Fer- j tllizers, like medicines, may be a very eood i 1 lnug, but if calomel is given when quinine j is needed, or if one kind of iruano Is bonuht j when another should be applied to the land, th^re is a worse than waste of money. We know that farmers as practical and as intelligent, as ours are would not think of buying tertilieers of which they knew noth-; ing ti? put in land of which they know less. The Ignorant daises of our farmers may i have spent their money years ago for lertiliz-1 ers of which they knew nothing, but now | when the art of fanning is being reduced to a ! wience, and when 1 lie price 01 rot ion uas . becfc reduced to seven cents, with the prospect I of a full of one cent, we are sure that ourpeo- j pie will consider Well what they are doing,; and will not in any case, buy guanos on aj ruinous credit. Of course, in this day and time, the most J st?pid man that ever planted a cotton seed , would not buy guano, without having an Idea, what his land needed. Everybody knows that stable and lot manures are p?-r- i feet manures, and for this reason they will increase any crop to which they are applied. Not so with commercial fertilizers. They Mi ay abound with Just, such qualities as the Ia?d is surfeited with, and hence guanos are i liable to ilo harm. Even if we were sure of getting the guano l we might need, the day has passed when we| can pay old time prices, with cotton at seven cents. - Tlie Installation of Kir. Wilson, " ? - ? ?

The pistol. <1 id not tire for the reason that, it was halfcocked. The street whs full of people,?lives > would have been endangered by the dis-J oln-rge of the pistol, and the art showed a disregard for the safety of unoffending citizens. The town council tined Gosline S15, and Fair put $10 in the Treasury, (iosline will explain the matter to the Court in June. Mr. T. C. Perms has bought the interest of Mt, W. S.

Mr. Cothran, we learn, will devote his attention to fanning. He is a good farmer and will no doubt' succeed well. Our best wishes to both of | these gentlemen. W. C.

We bespeak for these worthy ladtesa liberal patronage. Troy proposes having thisyear the boss nonprofessional base ball nine in the stale. Any other nine not willing to concede this can have it batted into tJn-mon very short notice. Secretary of State Lipscomb sits down very heavily uuon Mr. Ii. U. Tillman, the Edgefield "Moses," whom he denominates "ft uestructionist instead ol u constructionist." Mr. Lipscomb must he intimately acquainted with Farmer Tillman. The delicious (?) odor wafted to our nostrils the other dsiy from a carload of fertilizingsubstance reminded u* of a remark once made by 1 Hie late Ik>b Toombs?"All thnt it is necessary for a mnn to have to start a guano factory with is a sandbank and a polecat." The Augusta Chronicle advances an exceed- j ingly novel argument in favor of educating the negro?that it will beget in him a desire to 1 travel, and the South will thus be rid of his ' presence. The C'/o-oaic^people ought to have ; this idea patented. * "Moses" Tillman should understand that, while in matters of legislation the farmer 1 should not be discriminated against it is ' equally important that in this respect he 1 should not be specially favored. We are all ' mutually dependent upon each other, and the consumer is just as necessary a factor in our national make-up as the producer. The former furnishes the market tor the products of the latter, and without him farmimr would be an up-hill busine>s. Class legislation is the i bane of any country. ( Troy is a "dry" town not only nominally 4 but really. Whisky cannot be nan nerc j??r love or money. This is as it should be. No < matter what our private opinion of a law may ; t>e, as long as it is on the statute book it should be respected and obeyed. If it be a good law f s-o much the greater reason for its enforce- | ment: if it bean unwise one. then the quickest way to secure its repeal is to rigidly en- 1 Force its provisions and thus render it obnox- | lous. We know of towns whose most zealous \ prohibitionists are druggist*. They advocate ( und vote "dry" tickets in order tnat they may ( Illegitimately monopolize the sale of whisky, i But. not so in Troy. Our druggists, Messrs. i sheppard & Culbertson are law-respecting, | l iw-abiding citizens, and not a drop of whis- , ky passes over their counters in any shape or lorm. ( An ably-edited, enterprising daily newspa- i per is the very best educator we have. All ( Dur large cities now have such papers, and the < fact that they are read by the masses of the t inhabitants of those cities makes the average metropolitan resident far superior In point of ] general intelligence to his country cousin. \ We draw a broad line of distinction between < intelligence" and "education." An educated inan may or may not be intelligent: atid this < is equally true of an uneducated man. The j late "Josh Billings" was a highly intelligent j man and his pen brought him a competency: j ret he hud been heard to say that he never road a book through In his life. We know of j i family In Columbia the younger members if which attained to manhood and woman- 1 tiood during the war or shortly after the cessation of hostilities.

He should have ( been placed in command of the Federal army < tiip disastrous and sijjnal failure of j - ' lleadquarters-in-the-Saddle"'Pope at Fred- < ?riclcsburg; hut it was no part, of the pro gramme of Edwin M.

The Democrats in Congress are at logsrerheads with President Cleveland. and wit hout a leader In either house, the party seems to he rapidly drifting to destruction. The Civil Scr-j | vice bill was-introduced In the Senate by a Democrat?Pen ileton of Oh in?and it became | a law through the votes of Democrats in both ' houfees. The few Democratic members who opposed the measure foretold what its effects , would be, and their predictions have been j verltled to the letter. And now that the chickens have come home to roost, and Democratic. Congressmen -find it difficult to iret a sufficient , number of their friends in ofllee to secure their own re-elections, they kick against the law and find fault wiih the President for enforcing its provisions. Under a Republican President the Democrats did not believe that to the victors belonged the spoils.; but anoth er ox is being gored now, and with the change | In the administration came a change in Dcin-1 ocratlc views, in this respect -'it least. But) politics is nothing more nor less than a game; of "you tickle me and I'll tickleyou,"and as. both the Democratic and Republican parties are operated on this principle, it makes but) precious little difierenoe to the mas?e6 of the people which "is in power. Indeed, If the Republicans would select their oftlceho'dershere in the South from the respectable and intelligent classes of our people, we are notsure that our section would hot l>e the uainer by bavins? that party in power; for on the leading questions of the day?finance and the tariff? the Republicans occupy more tenable grouhd than the Democrats and sooner or later the Southern people will recognize this fact. The recent marriage of J udge David S. Terry of San Francisco to Miss Sarah Alt'liea Hill, plaintiff in the celebrated Sharon?Hill! bieach-of-promise suit, has revived interest in the fatal aucl between that gentleman and Senator David C. Hrodetick, which took place near San Francisco n few years previous to tiie war. We Iiave read numerous accounts] of this duel, butstll of them have grossly misrepresented the causcs which led to and the! circumstances connected with it. The Augusta Chronicle not long since, gave publicity ! to an article concerning this unfortunate aC-j mir, mu;p<>riiii? iu hum; miuui *'J. II. IngerKoll," which is a lIssue of misrepresentation from beginning to end. Ab this; duel was the last one enguged in by men of; prominence inthis country., it may interest! your readers and others to have placed before them the true facts in the case by one who was a resident of San Francisco at the time and is thoroughly conversant with all the details of the affair. David o. Broucrick was a native of New York city, where he had figured as a ward politician. He was of Irish pnrentiiKe, and-although unedm-ated, possessed considerable of what is known as "horse sense." He was withal au adroit, wily politi- i cal wire-puller, and so admirably did he play | his cards that he suecerded in having the' Democrats elect him to the United Stales Sen-1 ate, his colleague being the late Win.

Terry is a native "of Connecticut, but i went to Calilornia from Tex;ts, where he had I participated in the war between the then Re-1 public of Texas and Mexico. Me was a lav-! 3-er by profession and had been elevated by j the Democratic party to the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of t lie State. | He was a man of commanding presence, as brave as the bravest, and unerring shot with ' either pistol or rifle: but in this latter respect: he had no advantage over Broderick. The' Democratic party of California had split wide) open 011 the admission of Kansas into the Union,'one wing supporting and the other onpos-j U.. ?l,? nollni. nf tlm Pnr.hnnan ft/l tnillistl'n- I Moil Terry sided with the former, Broderickl with the latter. Tlio administration wins, placed Milton S. Latham In the tleld ne the regular Democratic nominee for Governor. I Broderick repudiated the action of the ' straight-out" Democrats, took the stump against Latham, and made a series of the nrost abusive speeches ever made by any man of any party. It was during this e*tmpaiirn,i still memorable to all old Calilornians, that Broderick, when seated at the dinner table of a prominent hotel in San Francisco, and Jul the prcscnee ol ladles, made some highly iu-| suit ins remarks concerning Judge Terry, who had taken no pari in the ennvMRH. Tnese remarks were heard by an English gentleman ol the name of Parsons, who had been fc. law partner of Judge Terry's. Parsons immediately withdrew from the table, and proceeding to his oirice wrote and dispatcln-d a note to Broderlck demanding that he either retract the offensive language orgivc him the satis?*-? ? ?

Parsons then at once wired all the facts in the case to Judge Terry in Sacremento. whereupon the latter forwarded his resignation of the'ufPce of| ('nief Jnssice to Governor Welier and sent' 13roderlek a formal challenge. Tins challenge I Broderlck accepted, chose pistols as the weap-j ops, and fixed the day for the meeting Just af- j tor the State election. Thegmnnd first selected for the meeting was a point oti the San Jose road, a short distance from San Francisco. Here the combatants met on the day and at the hour mutually agreed upon; but the principals ami their seconds were arrested by the police and arraigned before Police Judge ?-hi> Hint. hi* hud no iiiritttiic-i tion. They mci the second morning lifter tills near Lone Mountain Cemetery, Broderick fell inortally wounded at the first fire, and died in about five hours after. Colonel .Tack Hays of Texan lianger notoriety was Judge Terry's second, and the pistols used were English duelling derringers, the properly of Dr. Aylett, then Superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum. The weapons were carefully examined by Brodcrick's second, who pronounced himself thoroughly salistied with them, and they were loaded in his presence by a wellknown siunsmith of Sun Francisco. Ingorsoll says in liisarthle in the Chronicl-c that "Uroderick's pistol discharged prematurely, that Terry saw this and took deliberate aim and tired." This Is not true. Eye-witnesses of the nflair stated to the writer that the reports From the two weapons wore alinostslmultaneous, that the ball from Broderiek's pistol struck the ground about three feet in front of his antagonist, and was a perfect line shot. It may added here ih-it Latham was elected [iovernor by a handsome majority, and a few days subsequent to his Inauguration was chosen by ihe Legislation to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate occasioncd by the jcath of Broderick.

Carolina Spartan. Should our public schools be opera in the winter or in the summer? Our public schools run about three (3> months. They should be open at that time of1 the year In which they can do most good. They can do most good at that time of the year in which the largest number of children can attend; in which the children can attend most regularly; and in which the children and their teachers.can be most comfortable in the school-houses. In our opinion more children would attend school In a ter;n of twelve weeks, embracing the latter part of June, the months or July and August and a part of September, than in a term of the same length In January and February and March. Many of the children who attend these schools?and who have no .opportunity to attend any other schools?are small, some of them are not comfortably clothed, many of them have a long walk over rough roads. In the city January, the attendance of the pupils was about una-fourth Whs than it was during the good weather. These children have, as a general thing, short distances to walk, good pavements to walk on and comfortable brtcK nouses 10 go 10. 11 under such circumstances there is a railing off in attendance of twenty-five per cent., what tailing oil may we expect there to he in tht country, where the children have greater distances to walk, rough roads to walk over and uncomfortable houses to yo to? There are one hundred and eight-three (lf3) school houses In this county. seventy-three (78) of these arc log houses. Of all tiie school houses in the county only seventy-seven (77) are reported to be In good condition. The number of pupils <yi rolled Inst year was/our hundred and twenty-nine (AW) less than the number enrolled the year before. Was this because efforts were made to run the schools in January, February and March? There are other reasons which lead us to think the public schools should run during the summer. As the days are longer then, the daily sessions o? the schools can be longer in summer than in winter. At that time of the year young men and young women can be secured as teachers, who daring tire winter are attending college. These do pood work in the school-room, and the money they make teaching helps them to get through the next term at college. If the schools run during the summer, teachers will not have to watt as long for'heir money as they have to wait when they teach during the winter. A teacher gets a pay certificate in January and gets his money on It in the next November. tr w,> k/xwtiivifc r?wmotr nrt It nflVi Irforpvct.

If he were to get his certificate in July he would have to wait only three or four months for his money. If he borrows money on his claim, he pays interest for only three or four months. If he sells his certificate ho ought to realize more from it than he would have realized six months hefore that time. When should our free schools run-in summer or in winter? What say the teachers, the trustees, the patrons, the people? The more these matters are discussed the better for the cause. W.u. S. - I LIPSCOMB ON TILMAN.

Feb. 12th., 1830. Hon. J. X. Lipscomb : DkakSir Pardon the liberty I take In writing to you on a personal matter, yel when looked at from all Nided it is hardly personal. Your open, manly, courageous advocacy of larmers' rights has commanded the admiration of our farmers over here, and made us feel a public interest in yon. and we desire to see you continued in high place. A good many over here liavo expressed the I hope that you would throw the weight ofyour I influence toward the farmers' convention, though Tillmnn did scratch you a little over here. He wrote me he regretted having to do it. but could not help It, to keep from being personal towards others. He said you alone spoke for his resolutions. The wave, I believe, will sweep the Slate, and we want yon to go with us, nnd unless yuu do I fear you will get left. Please, now, don't think mc presumptions or inclined even to dictate or advise where vou alone have a right to choose. I My simple Interest In you as our old leaden prompts me to thus write you. You may, fi>r nil I know, have already crossed the Rubicon, [ t ut have not seen it. I feared the prissurei around you iimong the ollice holders might keep you from acting till some would say you were driven into it. Tuoutth I know your independent spirit don't, run in that lino. A good many piomineut Grangers over here urged me to drop you a line, so do please don't misconstrue my rnhtive and take offence where we wish to help you and show our regard. Our county is going solid for "Farmers' Convention." Yours truly, The Retort Courteous. Columbia, S. C. Feb. 18, lS8i>. Mr. : My Deau Sii?.?There was no liberty taken In your writing to me as you did in yours of the I2th, un no apology needed. I am glad to receive a letter expression such consideration for me and recognizing my honest, efforts in the past in helmil of tneagriculture and farmers of the State. It whs, and Is, a lobor of love to me, and after some thirty years spent in that way, I feel j 110 Inclination or roason to change. 1 am Just as deeply interested in nnd as loyally devoted to the agricultural interests ana cia?setj oi mu i State and eouuty now ?s I ever have been, and I am ready and anxious to work zealously and Independently In promoting their welfare. None know better than you and your Jellow-larmers of , Jiow for years I have urged the- vital need of organization of the farmers of the State .and Nation. This 1 still deem most essential to any scheme, policy or plan that will successfully advance their own Interest, and consequently the true and best interests of the entire country and whole people. So secure this I should say that, as an important. auxiliary, co-operative machinery, or strengthening adjunct; a convention composed of fanners, ri'jrresefitative Tanners, knowing what is due to farmers, and at the same time due to others; ready to demand what is due themselves and determined to accept no less; ready to recognize and respect the rights of others; ready to assume a policy true, honest. Just and fair; ready to reform and I in prove the laws, customs nnusyswms uun. govern and ati'ect. agriculture and farmers, instead of destroying them, would bo extremely desirable and eminently benetlciul. This f, you and others have for years been trying to do through the Grunge and other agricultural organizations with, I contend, signal though partial success, .such a convention I shall nail with Joy, and to such i will give my most cordial support, aud zealous aid. Hut to a convention to be called and controlled. appointed and organized, by Mr. B. II. Tillman, who has outraged all tlie courlesies and decencies of lite; who lias shown an utter recklessness in his assertions and insinuations as to men and things; who wants to do noihimrgood but what you and I and many other farmers have been for years working lor, but, I fear desires to pull down, destroy and obliterate) everything and everybody, from Hampton and Democracy down to himself and chaos; who is an avowed destructionIs!, instead of constructionist; who asserts that no.man in the Slate, farmer or other, has everbcen.put In office that did not at once and then become disloyal, corrupt and venal; ...v... nrnnriKfic in first,rov all the institutions established for the benefit of the farmers by others atxl has nothing to replace them with, except a college with him as trustee, who, from self-deficiency, cannot realize in any otlu-r purity of motive or honesty of purpose. To such a convention, exiled and manipulated by such a man for such purposes, I ank you and the farmers of the Stale cannot look lor help or good. You say: "Mr. Tillman wrote me he regretted having to attack you, but could not help It to keen from being personal towards others." "He said you alone spoke for his resolutions." Still he denies my honesty of purpose, purity of motive, loyalty to my cla?s, and Insinuates that I am a corrupt politician, working In the harness of a rimr and for It betraylni: the trusts placed In my hands, by bot h the farmers and the Democrats of South Carolina. Such a man can bo no "Moses" for me, nor can he safely be Sor auy portion of the lanners ot this State. So, for o real Slmon-nnre farmers' convention, lust count me In for all I am or ever expect to be, but lor "Moses" Tillman and what he "bosses," count, me out. I have written you plainly, for it Is my way and due under the circumstances. As soon as the proceedings of the recent session of the State Orange are printed I will send you a copy and ask you to read my address, which is a part of my public official record. As to my being continued In office, it Is for the people to say. As incumbent, I make no claim 'over any other good Democrat. My only plea Is honesty, fidelity, i ?... ?...i ftrwn YVlionevpi' dismissed. iuj nily niiu uu ij uw.,v. ? I am ready to retire to Hie ranks of the farincr.'* and Democrats without question or murmur. But I have too much faith in the people of South Carolina to think I am to be punished for not. admitting or accepting Mr. B..R. Tillman as the "Moses" and leader of the farmers or people of this State. The importance I attach to the Interests of our class is my only apology for the length of this letter. As I feel bound to freely and fully give my views 011 questions of public policy when asked to do so, ns iu this case, and h:t>ve nothing to conceal, you are at liberty to make this letter as public as you choose. With the kindest wishes ;tnd the highest regards lor you and my many friends in your section, I am, very respectfully and fraternally, J as. N. Lipscomb.

Stippo.se business was dull with him as he did not tarry Ions. The Grange at this place is still surviving, anddoinga thriving business. Severn I cargos of gun no and groceries have been distributed through its agency within the last lew weeks Mr. S. M. Davis, of Ninety-Six, the Edison of Abbeville county, was in t >wn Saturday. We knew Mr. Davis when a boy, and gladly note the fact that by energy and pluck he has amassed much of this world's uoods, and ih? rt.Miitufinn nf hciiicr one of the Sest machinists In the county. The Female College, under the management of the Misses Giles, Is rapidly growing In popularity. Already its roll has increased over eighty students. Another new piano recently ordered, makes the sixth now in use in the musical department. Dr. B. F. Ducketl of Mollohon, of Newberry county, is visiting his relatives. We nnderstmd he has built up u lucrative practice in his profession. John, tiie son of our colored barber Nelson Brooks, recently married one of the heirs of Col. David Dickson, the king cotton planter of Georgia. He is now living in Augusta In in elegant style. Two cor loads of wronght-iron ranee stove* have been sold in and around Greenwood within the oast two months, and another cargo daily expected. We venture to assert, however, that our townsman J. W. Sprole#! can furnish stoves at half the price of the ranee that will give as good satisfaction. Mi>s Belle Smith's dancing school closcd last Friday evening. "0 would the power some giftle gie us To see ourselves as 1 tliers see us," for then some of her scholars would never aijaln attempt to trip the light. fantastic toe. However devoid of natural gracefulness some of her pupils may be, yet. if we are judge, she is mistreswof her profession. Miss Smith goes from this point to take charge of a school ut Newberry. Greenwood has an economical way of enforcing the ordinances of the town. Last vveek a negro was acting disorderly on the street, and when he saw Intendent Waller approaching he ran. Having no marshal present, the Intendent ordered a bystander to catch the offender, and the race which ensued was exciting. After the most heated exercise of the pedcl extremities of the pursued and the pursuerdown Alain street, the guilty party was captured and turned over to the authorities and a tine of one dollar imposed, half of which amount was given to the captor for services rendered. To-day Miss Laura Johnson, of Troy, opens a millinery in the store formerly occupied by Mr. I).*J. Rabun.. Miss Johnson has for several years been associated in a similar department in New York, and comes fully'prepared to meet the demands of fashion. It seems the flowing trains have been superceded by a more simple costume in the ballroom. At a recent entertainment large white aprons were the most conspicuous apparel. We do not know whether this style of dress is the latest. fashion or uot, yet we must admit a preference for it. over the long train. The council have supplied the long demand for good liorsc racks, and will begin in a few days tf> put the streets in thorough repair. Mr. Ed. Reynolds' fine Jersey bull, "Tom Cleveland." while wandering over the village a few nights since and disturbing the slumbers of Its inhabitants, accidentally approached too near Dr. Mill wee's gin house, under whlen set a burglar gun. Touching the cord which wax attached to the gun. a large load of shot forcibly reminded him that he was on forbidden grounds. A few days afterwards a cow of Mr J. W. Sproles' met with a similar fate. It seems thnt t he Doctor's advertisement?"Keep oft ibis lot-a burglar's gnn is set," is true. Tbe colony of nesrocs spoken of last week as having readied tills place en route lor the West, have discarded their Moses, Dave Boyd, and many of them have hired out in tills community, while others have returned to Laurens. We think it would have been inllnitely better had the Legislature passed the immigration bill aud thus prevented designing agents and railroad corporations from enticing these deluded creatures away from their homes into the swamps of the West and leaving them there the victims of malaria or starvation, than to have spent its time in tampering with the lien law. Indeed the last Legislature lias immortalized Itself In doing many things ol little importance, and leaving undone matters of vital luterest to the publie. Our merchants are doing an extensive business. .Several large oiders from extreme portions of the county were tilled last week. The following are to-day's quotations of the market: Corn 6! to (15 cents; bacon (i'/i; granulated sugar 6*4; good family Hour $1.00 $3.50; hay gl.lt). Answer to "Juventnis." Lowkdesville. S.

We are one ol the inhabitants of the place, and thought we kept pretty well ported as to what was transpiring In town, but were not aware of this excitement. We are sorry he has been an misinformed as to think the train has not. reached Mt. Carrnel, we have it from an eye-witness that the force was lnying track at Uapt. Hosier's last Saturday. Since he has admitted that there are two factoins, one for new town, and one for old. We wish to state, as we are advocates for new town that in several purticuliirs he has hardly done us Justice. "Juvenilis" Fays real estate has advanced t wenty-rive per cent since the whistle has been heard here, this may be the ca?e in old town, but not ho in the uew. We think the owners of real estate in old town can weil aflord to advance on their properly, Judging from the inducements we understand they have made parties to whom we had already sold lots in new town. We have sold and received the money for eight lots in new town, and the purchasers intend to ereel storo-houscs on them as soon as bricks can be had, two being under contract now to be finished during summer. We wish to inform the public, and especially "Jnventus" that we are not "down in the mouth about raising funds to build the depot." We have long ago decided to build the depot, and grade the siding, and have got the l,?> In iln ?l?lc. I?li? m>i I lini' -Til von I.I1H IJJWI1CJ IUV/ IV UW KIII.7, # ?. U l.v.

Tlicy are "resting easy on their oars,"' have been for fllty ye/irs past, and quite likely will continue to do so while we build that fainuus ".Seven Hilled city." "Juventus" says the first question asked by parties on coining to town is, "what about the town being moved." We are surprised that any one should wish to move old time honored Lowndesville, we would not have this done, far from it. We are willing for the present occupants to lull In their palacial residences, far away from the dire and clatter of business, while new town grows till she shall truly tie set on her "seven hills". Certainly it will be much more convenient for a merchant to have his place of business near the depot, than it will he to have it threefourth of a mile away, and Juventus has acknowledged our silefar the prettiest. As to the post office, we think public sentiment will place that where it should be, and our enterprising friend John, who is ever ready to accommodate, will, following the march of progress, soon find himself comfortably located In new town. We sympathize with old town, but fate has decreed It thus, and so must it be. ' Juventus" c'Alinx nit the churches for old town,, the Baptist is in new town and the Presbyterian is central. He failed to tell you that two handsome residences are going up in new town, and others preparing to build, while there has not been a house of any note built iti old town for twenty-five years except the Methodist church. We do not desire to detract anything from the "record of mighty deeds" of old town in the past, are willing that it. be handed down to posterity as a "precious heritage," while our hope will not be realized do we not accomplish more than have they, We agree with Juventus In saying this will not build or stock store-houses, and finally say that we u"'"4 1i\\i. tlm nvM/linv f\t' flip llcivu ll'l/ tllU CUIUI (Ii;v 1WI Uiv movtiwp V?. . siding, tlml it will be begun this week, that we will 'plunk down" our money the liaoul for the depot ns noon as lie desires it. and cordially invite "Juventus to come up and dance to our music. PROGRESS. The MatclileK* Orator Still Lives. Associate Reformed Presbyterian, More tlinn thirty yearsago Hon. J. M. Bright, of Tennessee, then a young man, delivered the anniversary address in Erskine College. Those who henrd the address will never forget it. The deep Impression of the matchless orator still lives in the memory of all who were present that August day. Old men, sober farmers were swept off their feet by the storm ot eloquence that burst upon them. It gives us great pleasure to say that this gentleman, now known throughout the riniteu States, foi a long time a member of Congress, has consented to return on nexj Commencement and make the anniversary address. We can promise nil who attend a rich feast, and we assure the distinguished speaker of a cordial welcome. CONSIGNERS. Express?W. V. Clark, J. \V. Smith, Miss Nellie Pressly, J. T. Parks, H. Marshall.
