Terms and Conditions t'pon Which Onr Ladles and l'uuns Gentlemen May Receive Them A Prlate Worthy of the Greatest Effort. Office of ") State Superintendent of Education, s f. u, juijt iiu, 1001. ) To the School Oomviiurionrr: Dear Sir?A competitive examination for Peabody scholarships in the Nashville Normal College will be held in this office on Thursday, August 11th. proximo, at 10 o'clock, A. M. F've scholarships will be awarded. I send, enclosed, a statement of the terms and conditions upor which these appointments are made, and earnestly request that you will take prompt and vigorous measures to disseminate the information presented throughout your county. It you can induce your county papers to publish the time and place of the examination, with as full an abstract . of the conditions as their space will permit, great good will result. It might be well to explain that these scholarships are a free gift to the State as well as to those who obtain tlicm, and that it is impossible for this office, in consequence of lack of funds, to make use of paid advertisements in any but the dally papers. Feeling sure that you will give to this matter the attention which its importance deserves, I am, Very respectfully, JAMES H. RICE, State Supt. Education south Carolina. The applicant for a scholarship must beat least 17 years of ag*. present to the President of the College a certificate of Irreproachable moral character, gentlemanly or lady-like babits, presumed good health, declare his intention to make teaching a profession, must stive a pledge to remain at the College two years, if the scholarship is continued .so long, promise to submit cheerfully toall its requirements in study, discipline, etc., and to teach in the public schools of his or her own State at least two years, if there is opportunity. The applicant must obtain from the State Superintendent of Public Instruction for his State a certifitate that he Las passed a satisfactory examination before said Superintendent, or other competent person duly authorized, in the studies required for admission to the second or "middle class" at the College, viz., in Spelline, Heading, Penmanship, Grammar and Analysis, Rhetoric, Geography (civil and physical), Arithmetic, Algebra, United States History, No particular text-hooks are prescribed for this examination. The candidate should give evidence of such knowledge of the above branches as would justify omitting their further study. Students will also be examined at the College with reference to their classification, etc. Gentlemen or ladies thus admitted, who complete the prescribed course of study and training satisfactorily, graduate regularly, j and receive from the proper authorities a diploma, admitting them to the degree of "Licentiate of Instruction." ("L I.") The Peabody scholarship money will not be paid until the student has been a member of 1 the College one month, at which time, and at the close of each succeeding month, $25 will be paid to an amount not exceeding S200 for the year; no payment will bo made for the fraction of a month. It is expected that this money will be appropriated by the student to the payment Of board and other College expenses first of all; and no certificate or diploma will be granted to any student known to be in arrears in these respects. These scholarships will in no case be continued to students whose rank or standing is low, whose general dememor Is objections- 1 ble, who do not give promise of usefulness as teachers, or whose health or other circumstances prevent constant attendance on or performance of College duties. Students failing to complete their course of study accord ins; to the conditions prescribed, : or to teach after graduating, are required to refund the amount of money they have received 1 from the'Teabody Education Fund" to tho President of the College. Expenses.?Gentlemen usually pay from 815 to SIS n month for board in approved boarding houses or private families. Ladies pay, in best private families, SIS to *20 a month. 56 a year is paid tor the use of such books, etc., as ar<? furnished by the College and for a portion of the incidental expenses. The Annual Session op-ns on the first i Wednesday in October, and closes with tl-el Annual Commencement on the last Wednesday in May. There is no vacation during the session, except the Chrlsttnr.s holidays. Scholarship students will not be received after the openlngof the session,except in extraordinary cases. , AT T 1TTTT T fITTTm AXIU&Xl W IXjJLi Wiia_r OU11 AGAINST HER BONDSMEN. A Difficulty Against IVliich the I?eo_ l?le or Abbeville County were Warned. , [ Kcourc Courier.] At a recent meeting of the board of trustees? of tliis College h resolution was adopted directing its (launch)) committee to collect, by suit, if necessary, the arrears of interest upon all the solvent bonds subscribed totheendowment fund thereof and to compromise and settle the doubtful ones on such reused able terms as the committee shall judse best. In order to retain the services of these teachers or secure others, and provide the best compensation possible tor them, it will be necessary for th<- management of thoOo!!e<r<? to set-1 tie up arrears and coHecttheaccruinK interest on all bonds subscribed to the endowment I fund promptly. Heretofore me board of trustees has been ' very inuuiseni aim rciucuini to eniorcei through the Courts the collection of interest j on these bond*, so (/onerously subscribed by I tl)e friends 01' tbe College in nil parts of Geo-1 nee, and in many sections of the counties of' Anderson, Abbeville, Greenville, Laurens and ; Newberry, as also in some other parts of the j State: and it has been only in cases of positive refusal to pay interest that suits have ben j resorted to, and judgments in favor of the Colleee have i>e<-n rendered in every case j which has gone before the Courts, A political revolution has swept over the [ Sandwich Islnuds. Klnsr Kalakuu has been i required to dismiss his Ministers of State, one \ of whom, Hon. Walter M. Gibson, is known ! personally or by reputation to many of our 1 readers. The people of these islands charge that the king's government is corrupt and unfaithful. A new ministry has been formed and the former ministers are under arrest. Mr. Gibson has done a great deal to advance the material prosperity of the kingdom, and "we regret to learn of his downfall. It is possible that the charges of corruption against him may be untrue.?Keowcc Courier. SPARTANBcno, S. C., July 5.?Turner, the murderer of Julius Metskie, was arrested, or rather voluntarily surrendered to the Fishers atTrion, yesterday afternoon. W. C.

Of the Harvard graduating class of 236, nine ranked over 90, forty-six between SOund 90 and sixty-four between 70 and 80, making one nunurea ana nineteen oraoare inHjomy wuu ranked over 70. This would be considered not a very creditable showing for a grammar school fitting for a high school, or for the high school Itself under the exacting discipline of our city schools. These figures aflord the only proper commentary upon the boast of Prof. Palmer at commencement dinner, as follows : "Should you meet a poor boy, do not rashly advise him to come to Harvard College. If he is a good boy, docile, worthy?and comuion-place. advise him to go somewhere else. But if you encounter a poor boy of eager, aggressive mind, who loves knowlege, who is capable of feeling the enjoyment of struggling with a multitude and making his merits known, let him understand that Harvard is expressly constituted for such as he." Prof. Palmer gave some statistics of the expenditures of the class, whowlng that onefourth spend between S400 and S600 a year, one-fourth between S650 and 8975, and onefourth ranging from this point up to$1,200 a year. The professor hoped parents would fix the student's allowance, and "every dollar over $1,200 was a dollar of danger." If he was able to live closely, carefully and with a due regard to all he requires he may easily accomplish it between S600 and 800.1 He laid stress upon the fact that 836,000 is annually distributed among the students In scholarships, gratuities and prizes. The XejjroeN in Abbeville. yews and Courier. The annoymous correspondent of Northern newspapers is always busy. He is paid by the column, and he leeds his mills with the kind of corn they are U9ed to grinding. If one-half the stories that he has told about the unhappy condition of the negroes in this State were true, and if there had been half the number of exoduses that he has recorded, South Carolina would uow be a vast cemetery, and there wonld be few darkies left here to till the soil. The yews and Courier recently published a letter from New York Bun, wblch purported to give an unprejudiced account of the illtreatment of the negroes in Abbeville County. Several specific cases were referred to, in which it was alleged tbat tbe negro had been deprived of bis rights under the law. The Abbeville Press and Banner says that "there is "no discontent among the negroes in Abbeville County," and that they "are better "treated and have leas cause of complaint "than ever before." The Abbeville Mdeium shows, by an appeal to the United states census, that there has been no decrease in the colored population of South Carolina, and that, therefore, there could not have been auy considerable exodus of tho negroes from this State. The Medium goes further, and, taking up the charges or the Sum correspondeut one by one, disproves them by easily ascertained facts. In regard to the hypothetical cases invented by the Hun correspondent, the Medium proves, by aresort to the records of the Court, that there was not the slightest evidence to sustain the charges that have been made against the good name of Abbeville County, and asserts, with perfect confidence, that, "taking everything into consideration, our people have "done well. We have good laws, upright "Judges, faithful officers, and 'life, liberty and " 'property' are secure." me rress ana jjunner auu me .w.uium iui?o no desire to excuse tlie shortcomings of the Courts. Their plain and honest statements as to the condition of the negroes iit Abbeville County are certainly more worthy of belief than the wild ravings of unprincipled alarmists who masquerade in distant prints under annonymous signatures. How to Save Our Boys. The following is a leaflet sent out in Michigan during the recent campaign.

How does the following article from an exchange suit our farmers? Is it true, or not? The one-horse farmer has life-long ambition to gain a reputation for wearing a dirty shirt. He will alarm the neighbors by getting up two hours before day, then sit around and not go to work until after sunrise. He will ride around a week looking for a ?2 bog. He will complain of hard times, then tear his pants climbing a fence where a gate ought, to be. He will pay three dollars for a new bridle, then let the calf cbew it to pieces before Sunday. Ho will get all his neighbors to help in getting the cow out of the bog, then let her die for want of attention. stock will get In and destroy his crop at a place in the fence that he has been putting of!' fixing tor six months. He will strain his back lifting someting to show how strong he is. H? will talk all day Sunday about what he knows al?out farming, then ride around the neighborhood Monday hunting seed potatoes. He will go in his shirt sleeves on a cold day to show how much he can stand, then return homo at night and occupy two-thirds of the tire-place until bed time. He will ridicule the mechanism of a cotton planter and go out and mash his thumb trying to nail aboard on the fence. He will go to town on Saturday and come ijuck wuii miy ccins worm <u uuiitu, a. of pins, w dollar's worth of chewing tobacca and his belly full of whiskey. He is economical; economy Is his fort: he will save ten cents worth of axel grease and ruin the spindle of a $70 wagon.

Governor B. F. Perry in Ills Talk of Great Men writes an Interesting Article. Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer, June 18. 1973. Judge NVardlaw, an eminent lawyer, legislator and Jurist, a high-toned and honorable gentleman, greatly esteemed by all who knew him for the qualities of his head and heart, departed this life a short time since, full of years and full of honors. The distinguished men of South Carolina, they who gave character to the State and made her proudly eminent amongst her peers, in a past and belter age, are dropping off one by one, as if their pure spirits could bear no longer the present demoralization and degradation of her people. Long will it be under the present corrupt regime and dishonored public sentiment, before we cau hope to see their like again In high and honored positions. Sad Indeed Is the contrast between the times, in which Judge Wardlaw was crowned with the honors of the State, for his nurll.vof ehftMnter- lniirnini* ?nl?n?a unH r>a^ triollc service, and the present age In which all these high and uoble qualities are barriers to distinction in public life. My acquaintance with Judge Wardlaw commenced in 1824. He wad then a youus? lawyer with a high reputation at the bar. He came toGreenvllie to argue an important case in which Judge Earle been employed, but felt a delicacy In conducting, as the defendant had been acting under his legal advice in the case for which he was then sued as a trespasser. I was then struck witn his modest demeanor, pleasant manners and sjreat sociability. His argument itt the case was clear, lucid and able, as all of his speeches at the bar were In after life. I had mauy occasions, after my admission to the bar, to foci the loree and power of his intellect and learning. When Judge Earle was elected to the Bench, Judge Wardlaw took his place and fell heir to his professional business in partnership with William Choice, Esq. Heat tended Greenville Court, regularly till he was promoted to a seat on the Bench. We were very often employed on different sides of the same case, and some times employed on the t-ame side of the same case. This frequently happened In capital cases. Our association in the Legislature, was likewise for many years. For more than twenty-live years I had the pleasureof practicing before him as a Judge. Our acquaintance, thus intimate, wanted but one year at his death, of being a half eenturv. I had the pleasure of forming tlie acquaintance of Judge Wardlaw's venerable father (lie spring after my admission to the bHr. He was then Clerk of the Court at Abbeville, and had been for many years. He was elected by the Legislature, and continued In office during pleasure or good behavior. Pie was a remarkably line looking, courtly old gentleman.and reminded me every time I looked at him of the likeness of Jefferson. There was something strikingly similar In their features. He was tall and commanding in his appearance, and a much larger man than any of his sons. He lived to a good old age. and resigned the office of Clerk, many years before his i death. Judge Wardlaw is said to have been the first child born in the village of Abbeville. But. this must boa mistake, as the county was laid out in 1787, and "a court house, jail, pillory and whippingpost" ordered to be erected on some suitable place, selected for a county seat. The Judsie was not born till and It would be an extraordinary elroiimstime for a village to exist ten or twelve years in South Carolina without a birth in it! But he was bom, lived all his life, died in tho seventyfifth year of his ase, in the village of Abbeville. IIow few great men In America have done this? Indeed there is not one man, great or humble, in u*n tl.onsard who lias done so. It was said by an English writer, who traveled In the United states, that the Americans were born moving, lived moving, and died moving ! Judge Wardlaw was educated at Dr. Waddell's tainous school at Wellington, In Abbeville District, where Cnliiomi, Crawford, McDuffie, Petlsru, Ijegare. Longstreet, and a host of other great men received their classical education. At this school Judge Ward law wa* distinguished, though a small boy, for his excellence in public speaking. He entered the south Carolina College very young, and graduated with the first honor of his class. What is remarkable, his brother,Chancellor Wardlaw, graduated the noxtyear in the same college, and received theflrst honor of his rla?s. This, I will venture to say, has rarely happened in any other family in ?outh Carolina, or the United States. Judge Ward law read law in the otfico of Governor .Noble, and fo-med a partnership with him after his admission to the Bar. They continued in partnership till it was mnnifest the interest of both to dissolve It. Instead of having only one side of a case, by practicing separately, they might, be employed on both sides. Whilst they were partners in law, one was President of the State Senate, and tho other Speaker of the House of Representatives. Asa lawyer, Judge Wardlaw had few equals in the state. He was well read in his profession, took great pains In preparing his cases and always argued them with great ability. He spoke well, fluently and logically, and his language was always chaste and correct. He was not a vehement or impassioned speaker, and never indulged In rhetorical displays, either at the Bar or in tb9 Legislature. His mind was essentially logical. In 1826,1 think it was. be was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. Col. Duvis, Col. McCcrd and Judge Wardlaw were all candidates for the speaker's chair. There were twenty or thirty Union members of the Hoikd lit. Innt tlmn nml \ru linrl n ( rinciilhi. tirni as to whom we should cast our votes for for Speaker. I urged the claims of Judge Wardlaw, and It was finally determined that w-e would all unite on him, Tblsilected him. Never was there a presiding officer of that Houi-e who discharged the onerous duties of the chair, with moreablllt.v. Impartiality and dispatch, or more to the satisfaction of its members. He was courteous, dignified and prompt. No one understood parliamentary usasre better thnn he did. Whilst Speaker he compiled a hook of rules for the government of the House. Judge Wardlaw was In no sense of the word, a politician, bnt a statesman, wise and patriotic, governed by principle, and the conviction of his own judgment. When he once took his position, ho was immovable, neither popular clamor, nor party interest could swervo him. I remember, in 1860, when the revolutionary ball was set in motion, Judge Wardlaw saw the ruin and misery which would be the consequence to the State. There was a large and excited pub lie meeting at Abbeville Couit House, ~ He attended tlic meeting nod addressed it. The friends of separate secession attempted to put him down, and silence him by nngry demonstrations. But boldly and unflinchingly he told them lie would spenk and portray the evils which they were about to bring on their country. Like a true patriot he did all he could to prevent the iSRue, but when it was made, his duty and love of country made him sustain it with all his power and Influence. As a Judge he was eminent among his j lea rned associates on the Bench. I thought lie was the model of a circuit Judge. He was familiar with all of our statutes and the decisions of our courts. He was also profoundly read in all the law, of the common law, and well acquainted with the decisions of the, English courts. On the Bench he was patient, [ laborious, courteous and dignified. His opinions in the court of Appeals as reported in j our Law Reports, are a monument of his' learning, ability and research. Their lan-1 gliage ana Sljie are uiiiiuviinj juuiviui, ii | they have any fault, It may be that they are sometimes too prolix. But this was owing to I his great anxiety to preventany misconstruction of his views. I have seen him sit in I court very often from nine o'clock irt the morning iill ten. eleven and twelve o'clock at night, with only an intermission of one hour for dinner! A singular circumstance once happened whilst In; was presiding at Anderson Court, showing his sensibility to pain and suffering. A doctorwn* belneexnmlnedas to some disease and wound. He minutely described tlie ease, and Judge Wardlaw fainted 011 the bench, whilst taking notes of the doctor's testimony. Judge Wardlaw was a tine scholar, and his reading was very extensive, ifo was fond ol polite literature and read novels, poetry and mMMi zest. Whilst 011 the cir cult and travelling, be liad a singular propensity of sending to the hotel keeper to send him a book to read, leaving the selection oI the book to the taste of "mine host." Ho said it was amusing very often to seethe selection made for him. I remember once adopting the Juuge's suggestion out of curiosity, and tho hotel keeper sent mo tho Hible and Parry's Expedition in the Polar .Seas. The Judge was a very pleasant and agreeable gentleman in conversation. He was fond of chatting with the members of the bar in the evening and talked well. He enjoyed greatly a good Joke and laughed over it heartily. In 1S(j7 wc wero delegates to the Philadelphia Convention and travelled together with a good many other gentlemen. The party ea Joyp<: themselves as much perhaps as ever a number of gentlemen did In traveling by railway. In Philadelphia, the Judge was robbed of his pocket book and five hundred dollars In cash. We were getting on the street cars and there was a great rush to mount the platform. A raun standing In the crowd said to the Judge "have you not been robbed of your pocket book 1" The Judge felt for his pocket book, and sure enough It was gone. The man then said, "there goes the fellow who I think took it." They went In pursuit of him, but iic fctt>c mem IUU uuukc. very iin.eiy me man who was so kind In giving Information was himself the thief. Iu 1866, Judge Wardlaw, Judge Dawkina and the Hon. Alfred Huger, were sent to Washington, by the Stale Convention, to aek the release of Jefferson Davis. I gave him a letter of introduction to President Johnson. The Judge was very much pleased with t&e President. He told me tnat no stranger would have taken Johnson for& politician, that he Had the appearance and manners of a student and literary man. Andrew Johnson was all his llfen student, and he might be called a self taught literary man, for he was well informed on most subjects, and had read a great deal. Judge Wardlaw compiled a very useful book of forinH lor the officers of Court. His friends suggested him for the office of Codifler of the Statute laws of South Carolina, but he would not permit his name to be brought forward in competition with his life-long friend James L. Petigru, to whom the office was assigned by the Legislature. Mr. Petigru executed the work with great ability, and, although the work whs never adopted by the Legislature, yet It will remain forever a monument of the learning and ability of the author. Judge Wardlaw married early In life, a moat beautiful and charming lady, who died many years since, but true to his early love and devotion to tne memory of his wife, he never sought to place another in her position. Well may Abbeville be proud of her sons. Few districts in the State, If any, have produced such an array of talent as Abbeville. She gave birth to Calhoun, Cheves, Petlgru, Chancellor Wardlaw, Judge Wardlaw, Governor Noble, OiinncHlor Bowie, and waa the home 01 Mr. McDuttle from his boyhood. She likewise could once claim as her citizen, William H. Crawford, llie greatestot allGeorgia's great statesmen. When the venerable Chancellor DeSaussure resigned his otHce on account of his years and Infirmities, he presented bis silk gown to Judge Wardlaw, who was then Speaker of the House of Representatives, and expressed a wish that he might be his successor on the Chancery Bench. It was greatly to my interest, at that time, to have Judge wardlaw eleoted and taken out of my way at the Bar. I was on terms of great Intimacy with him, and had the highest regard for bis learning and talents. But I voted for Chancellor Dunkln, because I thought Charleston was entitled to have a chancellor, where most of the chancery business of the State was transacted. When Judge Gantt resigned, Judge Wardlaw was elected to fill his place on the law Bench, without opposition, I think. Whilst Judge Wardlaw was on the Bench, the trustees of the Sooth Carolina College bad to elect a President of the College*. In casting about for a suitable person, I thought of Judge Wardlaw, and mentioned his name to others, who approved my selection. His pleasant manners, tact in governing, and scholarly attainments, were well suited to make blm a popular president of the Institution. I wrote him urging his acceptance of the position, but he promptly declined, and Judge Longstreet was elected. Spccial Bargains. For the rr.onth of Jnne I will offer some special bargains. W. E.
