A ^^^^^^^^B^^^^^ptown a compact aggregation of inhabitants. simply because the snrronnding country made such a nucleus of population necessary. What is good for the farmers around it is good for its citizens also. The relations between the scattered land vrork ^llnnae nr lorftpr POmmunitiPK CI O ?UV( hUV W* W.- ry ? . _ mnst necessarily be those of mutual interest. The town prospers if the agricultural country around it does, not otherwise. There must needs be interdependence, not independence. The thing, therefore, for the citizens of every town to see to is that all apportunities are utilized to add to its industries, in order that a market may be . made for whatever surplus is raised upon the adjacent farms. In other words, the more months there are to feed in any place the better it is for the farmers, and the more the latter gets lor their product the greater the trade done by them in the town. The one thing neertfnl for any village, town or city is concert of action. The old fable of the bunch of sticks that could be broken singly, but, that kept together, could not be fractured, has its counterpart in this. Harmonious action for the public good will Accomplish wonders." *TVe cm by united effort build a small mill and as demand wan-ants increase its capacity. Now come, listen to some propositions and you will see how easily it can be done. Republican politicians in Indiana who received copies of Col. Dudley's "Blocks of Five* letter, and who did not destroy them have discovered that these letters are a political bonanza to them, if what an Indiana Republican says is true. They are represented as flaunting them in the President's face, and demanding offi ces for themselves or their friends. As the President dosen't want any more developments in the Dudley scheme he accedes to these demands. Elected by fraud at the polls, he *is afraid to resist the demands of these people because if he does the fraud will be established. On Thursday a prize fight took place on Camp Island in the Wando river, twenty miles from Charleston, between Jack Dunnovan of New York and Billy Layton of Fktfence, S. C. On the 13th round Dunnovan \was knocked sensel??B, aud failing to ??t- - ' divided, Dayton receiving $400 and , Dunnovan $100. A purse of $60 was made up among the spectators and given to Duunovan. Many things are reversed in Australia. It is summer there while it is winter in America. Trees shed their bark instead of their leaves; fruit has the stone or kernel on the outside; swans are black; there is a species of fly that kills and eats the spider, and a fish called the climbing 'perch walks deliberately out of the water and with the aid of its fins, climbs the adjacent trees after the insects that infest them. Dr. V. P. Clayton has been appointed postmaster in Columbia; vice W. H. Gibbs removed. The appointment is a surprite to the citizens of that city. W. TV. Russell has been appointed postmaster at Anderson, / vice C. TV. Webb removed. Both of these appointees are of the Greenback-Hendrix-McLain Independents. Chris. Hussing of Columbia was found dead in his l>ed Thursday morning. Chris, was an excellent soldier and a clever man, and was well known by many of our citizens. Capt. Wilie Jones was unanimously elected Colonel of the Palmetto Regiment. The Colonel is not only a good military man but one of Co lumbia's most clever gentlemen. Gov. Lee has resigned the Presidency of the Confedrate Home in Richmond. Gen. John R. Cooke has been elected his successor. Ex-Govirxor Manning died at his home in Camden Tuesday, and his remains will be interred in Columbia to-morrow.

From Oar Regular Correspondent.] Washington, D. C. Oct. 25, 1880. The Republican leaders, with the approach of the opening of the Fiftyfirst Congress, grow uneasy. For the first time in years they possess the Presidency and both branches of the National Assembly. The responsibility is unavoidable. No more talk of the "opposition of the Democratic party in the House"; no more talk of "Democratic vetoes." The Republican party in the coming session must meet the issues of the day squarely. The revision of the tariff, which the Senate bill of the last ses sion declared to be imperitive, must be made. Appropriation for pur U^^H^H|HHHsmg the H|nHH&n|^Ky members to the ^^^ ffioii of the faulty and har^^MR^ules of the Hous?. It is opinion of candid men on both ' sides that the rules will not be seriously changed. At any rate any movement looking to the curtailment of the power of the minority in as nearly balanced a body as the present House, will meet with vigorous opposition, and could only result in ignominious defeat. Any attempt on the part of the Republicans to increase their slender majority by throwing out duly elected Democratic members, will be resisted. The Speakership fight is essentially between Messrs. Reed and McEinley. Though Messrs. Cannon and Burrows are both here and working tooth and nail for election, they are in the fight only in the hope of being the successful man in the event of a spb't. Mr. McKinley s chances appear to be the best. He has raised a sectional issue that cannot but be injurious to Mr. Reed, whose State cannot control a sufificien number of members i._ ,-aol oili-rmtnop Rp I'J IU1UIU Oil> l t cii auittu.^v. side, Mr. McKinley represents, * first, last and all the time, the millionaire manufacturers. He belongs to them, and the coming session will be one in which they will need to control the Speaker of the House, The rejection of Mr. Meed would stamp the ingratitude of the Republican party. When to be named for Speaker by the Republicans was the emptiest compliment, Mr. Reed, as the leader of his party on the floor, i accepted the nomination. It was given with the tacit understanding that should the tiige come when the party held the majority, lie would be entitled to Speakership. It is an ill grace that now opposes him. On the lirat ballot, the majority will vote for Mr. Reed, through duty to this party promise. The first ballot will not result in an election. It will be then that the lukewarm and time-serving members will turn to the next candidate in strength, and throw their votes for him. That man will doubtle?s be Mr. McKinley, and So I predict his electionThe civil senice Jaw will doubtjess remain undisturbed. There may. be considerable talk about which Administration. Mr. Cleveland's or Mr. Harrison's, has been guilty of the greatest laches regarding the law, but t he law itself will remain, though perhaps slightly modified. The alleged selling of copies of questions in advance of their use in examina-will flmil-ktlpsft 1>p referred to a I'lVli ^ ***** v%v V* V ?? committee. There are enough men pledged to the law in both parties to insure its retention. The Blair Educational Biil will be introduced early in the session by its father, and the Senator may be depended upon to push it through the higher body. Its fate in the House is however*of grave doubt. Therp lack not men on the Republican side in the House who regard such a bill as not only a menace to the perpetuity of educational opportunities in the Sohth, but alsojtes unconstitur-. ^?ft, witrtiiwi' milium'me D'emocrat manority thus assisted may kill the measure. The meeting of the National Board of Promotion of the proposed Exposition in Washington in 1892 was an unqualified success. There were. more men, Governors, Mayors, capitalists, from every State from Maine to California. In his report to promoters the Secretary was particularly happy in his presentation of the claims of Washington. Our foreign guests should be invited to look upon the solid evidences of cur greatness?a greatness evident no less in our methods of governing ourselves than in the substantial products of our wealth. Inherited Blood Poison. How many people there are whose distress from sores, aches, pains and eruptive tendencies are due to inherited blood poison. Bad blood passes from parent to child, and it therefore is the duty of husband and wife to keep their blood pure. This is easily accomplished by a timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, for book of most convincing proof. James Hill, Atlanta, Ga., writes: ''My two sons were afflicted with blood poison, which doctors said was hereditary. They both broke out in sores and eruptions which B. B. B. promptly controlled and finally cured completely." Mrs. S. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas, writes: "My three poor afflicted children, who inherited blood poison, have improved rapidly after a use of B. B. B. It is a God send." ?T. B. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, X. C., Feb. 13, 1885, writes: uBone and blood poison forced me to have i my leg amputated, and on the stump there came a large ulcer, which grew worse every day until the doctors gave me up to die. I only weighed 120 pounds when I began taking B. B. B., and 12 bottles increased my weight to 190 pounds and made me sound and well. X never knew what good health was More." 52.

To the School Trustees of Lexington County: In consideration of the fact that there has, within the last year, been a general change in the free public school system of our county, no public school will be opened in said county before the 1st day of December. Another reason for deferring the opening of the schools till said date is that I want to be able to pay the teachers cash at the end of each month. I have stood all the odium for having made the change and now I ask that the Trustees and patrons of each district go to work and erect houses?where there are no houses?and the houses to be ^ - d b /-V AO oh WtClW illusi uc JJ-i tuc V.C1IUU vi caiu district or as near as possible. Whenever, by the late survey of the county, there exists any gross wrong, I am willing to correct it. I only desire to economize so as to lengthen the public school term without additional taxation. The School Trustees of Lexington county are hereby notified not to open any free public schools before the 1st of December. Their attention is also called to Item 2, Section 1012 of the school law of South Carolina with reference to employing teachers: also to the limit to school ages as found on page 24, Section 1 of the school law of South Carolina. Trustees are also requested to notify the teachers in their'employ that they are required by a resolution of the State Board of Examiners to use text books adopted by the Board of Ex aminers for Lexington county, and that a failure to use said books will cause a forfeiture of the teachers pay, as the School Commissioner is forbidden hereafter to approve the claim of any teacher 80 refusing or neglecting, ifow, these books are to be used for fiye years and will save parents the expense of purchasing books eveiwtime a teacher comes j around,-and the matter of teaching children in the same kind of books that the teacher studied when he went to school will be at an end. I hope that J will not again be called upon to state that there can be but one white school in each district by Section 2 of the Redisricting 4ct,pafi9eilI)epemherlS88, which reads? ^The Trustees of each district shall locate- in the same not more than two schools, one for white and one for colored children. Provided: That whenever in the opim ion of the Trustees it is best for their interest, schools for the colored children may be located at any place most convenient to those children and the pupils transferred from one district to another."
