State Grange
The next meeting of the State Grange
will be held in Charleston on the 3d day
of February next, and it is very desira
ble that as many 01 our sub-Granges
should be represented in that meeting as
possible. They are not entitled to repre
sentation unless they are clear on the
books of the Secretary, and hence it is
urged that all sub-Granges make their
report by the 15th of ?his month and pay
up all past dues to the 31st December
last, so as to entitle them to a seat and a
voto In the State Grange.
Fit For a King.
As regards the hot supper of the Meth

The experience of the past is a sufficient
guarantee for this. But in this matter,

It is the cause which demands our con

gallant and hospitable, but they are also
tasteful and genteel. Capt. Tompkins is
now in Augusta, securing a band and
other indispensable adjuncts for the
bright evening ; and tho ladies who at
tend, will no doubt be as much delight

the Rifles, which, it will be remembered,
was an unsurpassable success. On Tues
day morning, along our Main Street, a
Tilt will take place botween the Edge

will be alive with chivalry and with
beauty, and we trust the day will be so

The Convict Reports.
This week we publish the rev dting
details of the bad treatment of Peniten
tiary convicts as contained in the reports
of Superintendent Lipscomb and Sur
geon Trefcevant. These outrages were
committed in Edgefield County, but not
by Edgefield people. Indeed it can vet g
easily be proved that not a single citizen
o? Edgefield had anything whatever lo do
with this great crime. The inhabitants
of the section where those outrages wero
committed, are among our purest and
beet, our most enlightened and most re
ligious, oor most quiet and best educa
ted. Terrible wrong has beeu clearly
done, but the citizens of Edgefield are
profoundly free of all complicity.

Voting on the Amendment
Tho Joint Resolution amending the
Constitution as to tho homestead law
passed both Houses, and ia to bo voted
on by the people. It will, no doubt, be
come a part of the Constitution, and then
all trouble about tho unfair distinction,
which is made by tho present law, will
be remedied.
A Queenly Costume
It is odd to make a local ?tom of Mrs.
Hayes' costume, but perhaps our ladies
would overlook it if put in another
place :
Mrs. Hayes's attire at the New Year
reception at the White House may b*
matter of interest to female readers. Her
dress was of white brocaded satin wrought
with gold threads.* The Vshaped front
' of the waist was lilied in with lace, and
her sleeves were of duchesse lace with
embroidery of seed pearls. The court
train of satin was long t.nd square ; rose
buds were worked upon it with threads
of gold. The plain white satin petticoat
was trimmed with bias folds of satin di
vided by a fringe of gold and pearls.
Broad bands ofgold embroidery separa
ted the petticoat from tho court train.
In her dark hair she wore a silver comb,
and on lier neck a pendant-a cameo
head of the President set in diamonds.

And light and buoyant, loves to ride
The billows of a happy fate
Which seems with joy to undulate.
Sweet Pleasure, with a laughing air
Gaily assays the craft to steer,
While Hope, with scarce more sober
brow,
Sits as Pilot on the prow.
Happiness our port must be,
For somewhoro on this smiling sea,
Is situate that Haven fair,
Though chart, nor compass tells me
where.

My years have^donbled since I wrote,
And yet my bark is still afloat,
More steadily she rides the wave,
lier crew and pilot are more grave.
Pleasure, oh ! the fickle jade
Has left her post, and soinewherestrayed,
And Hope, less forward pilot now,
No longer sits upon the prow.
And Happiness, that haven fair
Which we have sought for man}' a year,
Our Pilot thinks, may after all
Not be on life's rough soa at all.

Happy and Auspicious Nuptials.
On tho night of the 30th Dec, 1879, the
residence of the Hon. M. A. Rountree,
of Barnwell Co., S. C., was lit up with
brilliancy in anticipation of the marriage

The fair bride is the only daughter of
Mrs. Clara Bowers. The groom is tho
second son of Dr.Hidward Eve, of Rich
mond Co., Ga., but for the last seven
years has been a practicing physician of
Boeeh Island. A host of relatives and
friends wero present to wdtness the cere
mony. The attendants were :

with Miss Annie Wilson, of Augusta.
Jos. Twiggs, of Augusta, with Miss
Effie Boyd, of Scriven co., Ga.

Pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Augusta, Go. Aller tho marriage, a mag
nificent repast was served, which was
perfectly regal in its menu.

LET US BOUND POR WA KD INTO
Ll HITLESS PROSPER I I T.
M ESSES. EDITORS : in the commence
mont of a New Year let us recast our
horoscope, and see, if we can, what is the
present and future prospect of South Car
olina. In the recent past, South Carolina
has been as mach a sealed book to outsi
ders as the Empire of China or the Islands
of Japan, Our statesmen seem to have
been content with getting position with
out making arty great eff >rt to let the
world know, especially capitalistsand hon
est industrious immigrants, the boundless
hidden treasures that lie beneath our Car
olina siol. But in our anomalous condi
tion under the rule of the 0 iths and
Vandals that robbed onr greater and bet
ter than Italian domain, no great advance
could he mad.) to develop th? rich re3ourccg
that providence has given uJ with a lav
ish bend. The mountains that .skirt our
Northern border contain vast quantities
of iron ore; the upper tier of counties,
stretching from the Savannah on tho west
to the great Pei D un th? eu?., are rich
in gold bearing quartz, which will amply
pay capital, labor and energy to bring it
to the surface; while in th* counties
stretching along our coast, we have land,
marsh and river, that aro now producing
tho best phosphate rock known to the
commercial world. Most of the counties
of the Slate will produce rye. barley(
wheat, oats, and some of the cultivated
gras3e9 as well as anv of the Western
or Northern States, in addition lo the
great staples of corn, cotton, rice, and, I
may add, sugar. In short, wc have a
Bilubiiou8 climate, an Italian sky, anda
rich noil that will yield the products of
the tropics as well as thoso of a colder
clime. Lumber is abundant, and water
power is ready in every county of the State,
waiting the advent of capital and labor to
make it Babservientjto the wealth-making
energies of man. With these factors for
gteatness, wealth and intelligence, what
is to keep South Carolina from bounding
forward into limitless prosperity ?
It seems to me, we should bury Methu
selah-he is dead !-and crowd into the
next decade all the centuries of that illus
trious personage in one great effort to co
erce greatness, from the hand of Nature
that bids us be great.

Knights of Honor.
From a recent paper we learn that this
order is now only six years old, but from
an humble beginning has made remarka
ble progress. It has now in tho country
1,901 lodges with 60,000 active members.
Within the six years of its existence the
order has distributed and paid in benefits
from its widows' and orphans' fund $2,061,
930.61, and its average annual distribution
and payments amount to $100,000.- Th-i
Knights of Honor is a ?rand, organized,
systematic charity, with its members chief
ly from the middle classe* of society. It
is abo of great advantage by elevating ?fi*
members socially and morally, and is most
beneficial in its relief of snifcringJaufL.
prevention of poverty, and is therefore a
benefit lo the whole community even out
side of its own organization. Its stability
and soundness have been thoroughly test
ed, the pledges of its members can be're
lied on, as has been amply ] roved. The
Knights of Honor's system is much more
economical and reliable than the establish
ed systems of life insurance, Tho Knights
paid in the yellow fever season of 1S78,

A GIFT TO WOFFORD COLLEGE-Pro
fessor David Duncan has given his classi
cal library to Wofford College, and this is
no ordinary gift. For many years he has
been accumulating this lilrctry until it
numbers nearly 1200 volumes Many of
the books are rare, and there is one of the
number thal cost over a hundred dollars.
The learned classical scholar, Dr. Toy, said
this was the finest classical library he had
ever seen in the possession of a private
individual, tnd he had seen many in Eu
rope and America. It is difficult to esti
mate the value of this gift in money, but
it is perhaps between five and eight thou
sand dollars. The Professor has the hearty
thanks of eyery friend of the College for
this Valuable gift.-Carolina Spartan.
FAREWELL SERMON.-The' Rev. Dr.
"eynardie preached his last seimon before,
having for his appointment in Charleston,
before a very large congregation at Wash
ington Street Church last night. The
sermon was one of peculiarly attractive
interest, and convincing power, and tho
preacher nobly sustained his well earned
reputation as a learned theologian and ac
complished pul plo orator. Cur citizens
regret h s removal from our midst, and
our sister city by the sea may justly feel
proud of this additim to her clerical rdnks
and preaching talent. The prayers and
well wishes of his numerous friends in
Columbia will follow him to his new and
wider field of labor.- Columbia Yeoman

now over twelve years since a new curt?
for chronic disensos was discovered,
known as *. COM rou NP OXYGEN " The
results which h?ve followed its use np
ti this time have been so remarkable
that it is beginning to attract tho widest
attention. Many intelligent physicians
in various parts of tho country have,
after a careful investigation of its scien
tific and pathological claims, Used it iu
cases where all other known remedies
had failed, and with a success alike sur
frising to themselves and their patients,
n Consumption, Catarrh, Asthma, Bron
chitis, Headache, Dyspepsia, and the
wido rango of Neuralgic disorders from
which so many suffer life-long tortures,
lt has rarely fullod to givo roliof, and in
many cases to make pormanont cures.
It is not a drug, but a new combination
of tho two elements which make up our
common air, giving oxygen in excess.
It is taken by inhalation, and cures by
natural and orderly procesaos-first, br
eliminating tho excess of carbon which
has accumulated in tho .system; and
serondly, by a revitalization of all (ho
