Clemson Ollege will resume operations on Thursday, February 15th, as its vacation expires at that time. The prospects are fine for a very large enrolment of students. The establishment of a dispen sary was defeated by the people of Yorkvillein an election hel? January 27, to decide this ques tion, by a vote of 71 for to 154 against it. Judge Simonton has issued an order to the Receiver of the South Carolina Railway, permitting the State detectives to enter the prop erty of the Company and search for contraband liquors. In Columbia, the stronghold of the "antis" there are said to be already six candidates for Mayor, and the election yet two months off. So it seems that "official leprosy", defined as a thirst for office holding, is not confined to the "Tillmanite" or'.Reform" party. Three thousand five hundred men and one woman witnessed the Corbett and Mitchell fight. The woman's name was Norrine Willis and sh? was from Louisville, Ky. She was dressed in male attire, and was carried to the fight by a wealthy banker, of Montgomery, Ala. The Augusta Chronicle states upon the authority of, the Commis sioner of Agriculture of Georgia that hogs raised in that State are being sold a tja profit in Chicago, the great slaughtering and pack ing house of Armour cfc Co., having recently bought 6,000 in the south western part of the State. Many years ago, when the now venerable Captain Basse, of the Senate, was a youth, he was direct ed to place a snuff-box in each of the small recesses of the rear wall of the chamber, to right and left of the Vice President and to keep them filled for the Clays, Websters, and other Senators of the old school who were habitual snuff takers. The snuff-boxes remain as a reminder of the time and habits of Senators whojmade tos tory. But they are seldom filled, as Mr. George, of Mississippi is the only Senator who uses snuff. The Prosperity Reporter says: We are not at liberty just now to make known his name, but learn from good authority that a promis neut Anti has been appointed and has accepted the position of Chief Constable for this county. He is from the county, and has an ele gant home and many acres of land. He is a man noted for his courage, and well equipped for the position. And yet there are per sons who say Go7. Tillman will not appoint an Anti to offics. Though an Anti, he beiieves in the Dispensary Law, and will be ener getic in enforcing it. Capt. James H. Tillman, of Clark's Hill, and Col. George W. Croft, of Aiken, have formed a co-partnership for the practice of law at Edgefield Court House. Col. George W. Croft is one of the ablest lawyers in the State and has made a reputation in both civil and criminal Cases. Capt. Till man is a bright, intelligent young man, a son of Hon. George D. Tillman, and inherits many of the strong intellectual traits of his distinguished father. The Hamp ton friends of both gentlemen feel satisfied that they will receive a liberal part of the legal buisness. Hampton Guardian. The Atlanta Constitution well says: "There should be no cotton mills in New England. The fact that a cotton factory can be ope rated profitably a thousand miies away from the fields that produce the raw material makes the world wonder what the Southern people are doing and what they are think ing abont. We should manufac ture our cotton here at home and oui distributing centres, railways and ports will send it to the rao3t distant markets. We can manu facture cotton cheaper here than it can be done in New England and save the freight on the raw mate rial and the manufactured product that comes back to us. None of the cotton mills of the future should be started in the Northeast. The South is their natural home and they will pay largen dividends here than anywhere else." SOW OATS. The Southern Cultivator for February says : "Where not previ ously sown, this is the best month foi sowing oats. Later sowing is not advisable, except on bottom or rich land. In the more northern sections of the South oats sown in February are not so liable to disaster from frosts as January sowings. But the crop has a shorter time for developing and maturing, therefore the land should be thoroughly prepared and highly fertilized, in order that the yoong plants may at once being to take up their food supply. Ii ARMERS' FIRE IX. ASSO.'X A meeiii-g of the Farmers' Mu tual Fire Insurance Association of Edgefield was held in the court house on Monday, President Tim merman in the chair. Steps were taken to merge the Association from the Chester char ter to the charter for Edgefield re cently granted by the Legislature. A call for voluntary contributions was authorized for the benefit of Messrs. D. P. and J. H. Lagrone who lost their gin houses by fire while in operation. They were in sured in the Farmers' Mutual, the terns of the contract beiug 6uch that the insurance was not of force while steam was applied, hence the call for contributions is not a legal assessment, but only volun-; tary. The following is an abstract, from the report of the agent, of the busi ness done the past year : No. of assessments, 1 Net amount collected, $572.72 No. losses sustained, 13 Average loss, . 56.54 Total losses sustained, $735.00] Losses paid, $385.00 M reported and unp'd, $340.00 Bal. i J treasury, $187.42 Deficit to be provided for $162.58 Am't In. now in force, $357,095 An assessment of ? of 1 per cent, was ordered levied, which will pay up outstanding losses and provide a surplus for the ensuing year. TARIFF REFORM. Tariff reform bas triumphed in the Hou*e of Representatives, and in a manner so inspiring that the record made b}- the democratic party will be -one of the proudest in its annals. The tariff bill, with the income tax appended as an amendment, after a three weeks1 discussion passed the lower house of Congress on Wednesday last by avery hand some majority. Protection and protective theories received a very black eye by the passage of this 'measure, and the shades of Cal houn may rejoice at the consum mation, or rather an approxima tion to a consummation, for which ^^BXTi?D^ul^^el^^ t?SBftfr and worked. This bill, should it pass the Senate, and of this there is little doubt though its provi sions may be slightly modified by that body, will afford greater relief to the country, to the toiling, strug gling masses, and they constitute nine-tenths of the people, than any measure passed by Congress since the war. By it the necessi ties of life become practically free; and the markets of the world will be open to our citizens for trade, to sell their products as high as they can and to buy as cheaply. Democracy may well plume itself !on the passage of a law so full of premise not only to the party, but the whole country; one that was but an aspiration to democratic statesmen past and a vision of bliss merely to many still living. In this law there is new hope for the country ; and that demo crat is captious indeed whe would think a third party necessary now, after such a victory. The scenes enacted on the last day of the debate, the day upon which the vote was taken, are said to have been beyond description. The House of Representatives, the galleries and the floor, was a wild scene of jubilant demonstration and rejoicing on the part of demo crats. The last speeches were made by ex-Speaker Reid against, and Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wil son for the bill. At the conclusion of Mr. Wil son's speech there was enacted a scene of wild enthusiasm such as has never before been witnessed in the House within the memory of the oldest member. The ap plause which broke out at frequent intervals during the speech over leaped all bouuds when Mr. Wil son tried to tak? his seat. Cheer after cheer rang out again and again, men threw their hats and papers in the air, and women their handkerchiefs. Breckiuridge, o? Arkansas, embraced the speaker, and a crowd of demonstrative ad mirers, headed by Mr. Bryan, o? Nebraska, and Mr. Tucker, of Vir ginia, raised Mr. Wilson upon their shoulders and carried him in triumph out of the hall and to tht committee roims. The South Carolina delegation, figuratively speaking, danced (he cancan on the floor of the House. i:t/ait and Latiner and curly headed Johnnie and JasandBraw ley.

A Perfect Fusilarte ol' Bullets-The Com plete Story. The Columbia State. For the first time since the dis pensary law became a law, blood vvas shed on its account in the cap ital of the State yesterday after noon. Mr. W. H. Meet zo, the man who shot and killed Clark a few years ago, and the; man who defied Governor Tillman and his consta bles at the fair grounds last No vember, got into a street affray near Columbia's famous street fighting ground, the corner of Main and Washington streets, where every serious affair of any im portance thal has happened in re cent years in Columbia has taken place, with Davis Miller, a stock dealer hailing from North Caro lina, and the former fell with a a bullet in his side within one hundred yards from the sp->t where Clark fell and expired when he shot him. Tbe extent of his in juries cannot yet be ascertained. Never before has a pistol fight occurred here in which so many shots were fired without injuring any one except "tbe participants. The street was filled with people at the 'time, and Miller, knowing he had a cool sure shot to deal with, emptied two pistols, save one bullet, in less time than it takes to tell it. It was a perfect fusilade, and created the wildest excite ment, especially when Mr. Meetze was seen to reel and fall to tbe ground. All day long serious trouble of some kind had been an ticipated, but no one knew from .what quarter_it wpuld come, or at what hour. Miller had been a witness in the first bliud tig^r case and his testi mony goaded some of the liquor men and their friends to despera tion. Long before he had con cluded the giving of his testimony, it could be seen that he would have to answer in one way or another to somebody for some of his state ments. Some of the men looked ver}r angry. Miller evidently knew too that he was to be "talked to," for he had come to the courthouse ARMED WITH TWO PISTOLS, both self-acting, which he carried in his outside overcoat pockets. At any rate, just as the recess was taken things looked pretty squally. Miller went back into one of the jury rooms and serious trouble came very near resulting in there, two men tackling him and cursing him pretty severely. Justice Clark son went in there, however, and pulled Miller out, taking him down stairs. Mr. Meetze and others who were very much incensed came on around on Main street, and they talked very bitterly about Miller. Several parties urged them to go on home, Lut somehow they got around on Law Range again. They went to a point in front of McMaster's law office and stood there talking. Among them were Messrs, William Sheppard, Meetze, Fry, and Herriot. Miller was standing up in front of Shand's law office at this time talking to some young men. Fry evidently wanted to tackle Miller, for some one heard Mr. Herriolt say to him : "?No you ought not to do it." Just about this time Mr. Charles Hen drix, the defendant in another case, pulled out a pistol near the corner and appeared to be very an gry. Police Sergeant Morehead and Bell Towcrnian Dunning saw him, grappled with him and took the pistol from him. sending him away to the station house. Just about this time Mr. Miller came on down towards Main Street. EYE WITNESSES ALL AGREE on th<> rest of the story. They say Miller Ci me on down the sidewalk, and tried to pass around the crowd standing there.'A s he did sn Fryjetep ped up to him and paid : "Did you say I swore lo a damned lie today?" .Miller replied: "Xo. I did no!/' Fry said: "Well, these fellows tell me so." Miller said : "Well who-, ever said so told a G-d d-d lie.'' Mr. Meetze, who was standing be hind Fry, ran around and come up ------^??^--^ - - - ! , before Miller, cursing hiin, i said, and hit him once on the i of the head. Trial Justice Stack, who hapr. ed to be near, rushed iu betw the two men and pulled them ap Mr. Fry pulled *Mr. Stack to side. Mr. Stack, in the nairn the law commanded the men keep the peace and called on ott to help him handle the two nc He grappled Miller and star off across the drain with h Meetze, being released, follov Miller up to the middle of street daring him to draw his ] toi, and saying "G-d d you draw, I dare you to pull your pistol." A PEACE OFFICER'S EFFORTS. In the meantime Justice Sti was still wrestling with Miller, s had gotten him ten paces av fom Meetze in the middle of stn Finaly Miller squared himsi shook Stack off and ran his har into each overcoat pocket. WI his hands came out there wa shining weapon in each. He poiu one at Justice Stack, . who 1 seeing he could do nothing mc Miller leveled both his pistols a shouted : COME ON, ALL YOU PEOPLE." At this time Meetze was si advancing upon him still shaki his left hand at him and pulli his pistol from his hip pocket w his right. Then so several t witnesses sa3', Miller let fire Mr. Meetze. In quicker time th takes to teli it Miller proceeded fire nine bullets at Mr. Meet Mr. Meetze returned the fire rapidly, and the firing sound like an infantry company pn ticing "company firing."' fl Meetze nearly empted his pist After the first fire Mr Meetze w hit in the side and was SEEN TO REEL BACKWARDS and fall to the ground like a de; man. He tried to rise, but cou not. Sergt. Morehead of t police force rushed at Miller wi his club raised. Miller still h; both his pistols leveled. Ast officer carno up to him he rais both hands and said : "I surrendei Then Meetze's friends, seeing th Meetze was badly wounded ai thinking that he was killed, crii "kill the scoundrel" and we about to make for him. Th? it was Sergt. Morehead display? WONDERFUL COURAGE. He placed the prisouer behii him leveled his pistol on the- crov and told them that the f?r?[jfc" who came at Miller he would'sho dead in his tracks. As soon i possible he turned Miller aroun and joined by other officers, we: as quickly as possible with him the station house. Miller le thinking that he had killed Meetz and sent for Capt. John G. Cape: to act as his attorney forbin THE WOUNDED MAN. As soon as the firing cease many of the bystanders rushed t Mr. Meetze's side. When asked : he was hurt mu }h he said : "I thin my leg is broke." A hasty exam Dation revealed a bullet hole i Mr. Meetze's right side it bein located just about the center c his vest pocket. The blood poure from the wound. Several gentle men lifted tho wounded man an dispatched messengers for aphysi cian. They were about to tak him into Dr. Ray's office, but h said: "No, take nie around home. He was perfect^' cool and collected but was powerless to move a mus cle. He was placed in a carriag and taken home. He asked fo his hat just as bc was driven oft* The people all along Main 'stree heard the fusilade and came run uing to the scene of the trouble In a few moments the EXCITEMENT WAS INTENSE, the streets were filled for|two houri with excited men. Drs. Talley Folk, and Taylor were soou at Mr Meetze's side. They examinee the wound looked for the bullet but failed to find it. It ranged backward. Thc physicians say it may have entered the abdominal cavity, but they cannot yet tell, In this case the wound is a very s'-rious oue indeed. They soon inclined to think, however, from the sy inpious and the fact that it wasa smaU bullet that it ranged around towards the buck, and in that case will not have serious results. Kills His Wife and Jumps in a Well. GREENVILLE, S. C.-Ed Davis, the colored jauitor of 'he Greenville Club, killed his wife and jumped into a well and drowned himself. Neighbors wero attraced by the cries of his three children, and on going to the house discovered his wife lying dead on a bed with the back of her'skull crushed in. Ry the side of the bed was a bloody axe which had evidently been used to commit (ha deed. A search for Davis rev* aled his body ina [well about twelve feet deep. It is supposed that he was temporarily insane. Singing Hymns to a Dead Horse. Laurens Herald. After encouraging disobedience to law and resistance to 1'igal au thority in ?ls every issue, there is just about as much virtue in the News and Courier's editorial of last Friday counselling submission on the part of the citizens of Char leston, as there is in singing hymns over the body of a dead horse. After encouraging lawlessness on the part of the whiskey element in that city, both by captions to all articles relative to the present Administration and by subheads and editorials, the evil results of its teachings have begun to show themselves in a manner which seems alarming to the News and Courier, and it now sets about try- ! ing to correct or repair the evil which it has brought about. Last Friday's issue of that paper con tained an editorial strong!}' urging obedience to law. But while the News and Courier writes a seem ingly fair editorial for the eye of the public, it "winks the other eye" at the mob. It says : It is all wrong. The spies and constables have the law behind them, and law abiding citizens should regard their conduct ac cordingly, and treat them accord ingly when they are engaged in their business. To "mob" them, or offer them violence in any way will only have the effect of making martys of them, of putting this whole community in the position of defying the law, and of making the situation still worse than it is. A few man, or many men, in Char leston cannot undertake by force to prevent the con forcement of the law in the city. The experi ment should not be tried further, and than those who are disposed to try it should listen to calmer counsel and be guided by it. The has been some loose and dangerous talk on this subject within the past two or three days. It ?should stop-Those who indulg ed in it to incite unthinking men to acts of violence are enemies to the peace and welfare of the cit}'. There is no estimating the amount of trouble they would make for for those who snould be misled by them. We should have no display of disorder and lawless ness in Charleston on any account. Every one who cares for the good name and the welfare of the city will discountenance all such assemblis in the streets as those of Wednesday and all such threats of mob law as were made on that day and night." ?BlTfelARY. DIED near Pleasant Lane, Edgefield couty. South Carolina, of la grippe, on Jan. 10, IS9?, Mrs. PEKMEHA H. WIL LIAMS, aged 05 years. The writer of this humble t. i bute to the memory of a worthy Christian wife and mother never had the pleas ure of a personal acquaintance, but was anticipating to pay the deceased a visit the coming spring. "L'homme propose et Dien dispose." Tho' now.the tender chain is riven, And angels bore her soul away, 'Tis with her God, in yonder heaven, In endless peace, eternal day. Our tears we shed, and cannot smother, O'er her whom we all lov'd so well, God gave to earth no better mother, 'Mid life's fitful scenes to dwell. Yes she's gone, but not forever; Uer mortal form is 'neath the sod, She merely crossed the shining river To gain the prize of her reward. H. C. Master's Sale.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There was never a time in the his tory of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was so J great as now. The conveniences of | mankind in the factory and work shop, the household, on the farm, am in official life, require continual ac cessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time, and expense. The political change in the administration of the government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, wi o being on the alert' and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existingdiscrepencies. Too great care cannot be exercised in choos nga competent and skillfully attor ney to prepare and prosecute an ap plication for patent. Valuable intersts have been lost and destroyed in in numerable instances by the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never I considered in view of a quick endeavor \ to get an allowance and obtain thc fee then due.
