Black ariday.
The financial affairs of the United
States have marked in the Calendar a
notorious date : Black Friday. The
19th of September. 1873, approaches
very closely to that well marked and
well remembered period. Wall Street
has Pain been turned topsy turvy, and
the banking interests and stocks of
every description have been generally
unsettled. Many of the most promi
nent hoises in New York, Philadel
phia, and other Northern cities, have
either suspended or utterly failed.
The telegrams are too meagre for us to
form a conjeetare as to -the cau'se of
these failures, but we know enough to
feel satisfied that unless the Govern
ment of the Tnited States becomes a
purchaser to the tune of about ten
millions of dollari worth of stocks, the
money market of the country must
reach a depression that will amount
almost to a panic. . We of course are
so far off,that very few will be affected
directly by an unfavorable financial
condition in the North, stil? indirectly
we must, to some extent at least, suf
fer. If the price of nioney advances
in New York City, we will have to pay
a proportionally higher price for it
here in Newberry. Speculation with
its common attendant corruption has,
in nine out of ten cases, been the en
tering wedge to the tremendous finan
ial crashes which have visited this
intry. The multiplicity of Rail
Roads and telegraphs in these days,
greatly enhances the facilities forspee
ulation. Collossal fortunes are made
in a few days, and the happiness, the
bread of thousands becomes dependent
upon their security-then not unfre
quently they as suddenly collapse, and
untold misery follows. It seems to be
the rule that, as society- advances in
the scale of civilization, the money
power must be centred in and con
trolled by the few, while the vast ma
jority are left in poverty and misery.
If this is the ease, the question, how
to obtain the greatest happiness for
the majority becomes the most difficult
problem in the science of sociology.
In the present case we look for a
rebound before many days.
The Approaching State Fair.
It is confidently expected that the
annual gathering on this occasion
the 10th, 11th, 12th. 13th and 14th
of November-will be in keeping with
the arrangements made and the in
ducements offered. We learn that
the officers of the Agricultural and
Mechanical Society are making a
grand effort to have the Fair the most
complete which the planters and the
peopfe of the State have ever seen.
To this end. too, the citizens of Colum
bia are Lending their aid, and propose
throwing open their houses to visitors.
The Hotel accommodations have been
considerably enlarge,d besides, so that
there will be nuo difficulty in this
respect. The Railroads, woo, are ex-.
peeted to show a large liberality.
The Premium list is much enlarged
over previous years, besides the Aux
iliary Joint Stock Co., will give away 1
about $5,000 in speed and horse pre-1
miuws, to be competed for in a sepa
rate enelosure. A gala week is looked
for, when the planter and farmier can
see the products atnd note all the imi
provemenits in cultivation, implements,
&c.. and the stock fancier feast his
eyes on the best blood of the State.
We predict a general re-union of the
bestpeople of the whole State during
that week. Let none forget the Fair.
Mfore Disasters and Losses of

A terrible accident occurred on the
C. C. & A. Railroad, Wednesday

The Turkish Treasure Pavilion
and Sewing Maehines at Vienna.
Among the many attractive features
at the late Expoltion was the Treas
ure Pavilion. The following discrip
tion of it appeared in the Scientific
American, Sept. 20, and as it will no
doubt prove interesting to our read
ers we copy:
"Among the one hundred and forty
special buildings, in addition to the
main exhibition edifice, pertaining
td the Vienna World's Fair is the
Treasure Pavilion of the Sultan of
Turkey, gr the King of the Ottomans.
The pavilion is in the form of an
oriental kiosk. The domed within
eling is painted in arabesques, and
and pendant frou, it are five Jarge
golden walls. Here may be read the
history of the Sublime Porte from
the days of the conqueror of Bysan
ium, Mahmoud I., to the present
Padishah, Abd-ul-Aziz. The golden
throne of Nadr-Shah is here, which
was renowned in the East before
the peacock throne- of the Great
Mogul at Delhi was dreamed of. It
i marvelous in its workmanship, large
aough~ for a coach, and weighs four
ind half hundred weight. It is en
meld in celadon, green and crimson,
d its patterns of arabesquerie are.in
ubies, enmeralds and pearls. Above
hang the turban and~armor of Sul
ma Murad, heavy with gold and
;leaing with jewels. Near it are
:he horse caparisons of Selim IH.,
vith the heavy Mamecluke stirrups
Ud 'Arab' bit of solid gold, encrusted
rith diamonds. Scabbards, where
onthing but diamonds can be seen;
,intures of diamonds; bowls of China
)oreelain, their patterns marked out
i gold and reset with rubies ; clocks
ancased in diamonds and glistening
-ith crescent moons anid stars; hookabs
rith with golden bowls, and chibon
aos whose amber mouth pieces are
eirled with- rings of diamonds,
;leam and glisten everywhere..
"The value of the Turkish treasures
otained in the pavilion is estimated
Lt 27,500,000."
In the same connection we copy
rom the .N. Y. Hkerald another in
resting item in relation to the
'egion of the sewingr machiines. It
ives an idea of the multiplicity of
nachines now before the publie:

Mu. Ei>xiu: -You ure doubtless aware
that the i'rti,es of this institution have re
ceutiy m.ie a number of important changes
in the curriculuta, with a view to increase the
tfficiency and consequently thousefulness of
the U niversity. The following comprehends
those moaJikeIlyoU nteretL Ahe numerous
readers oEgour_popfiar J6urnal.
On the4th day ofext October, the Trus
tees wil! pen a preparatory school. the object
aVhic,ill be t-prepare ,young men for
ietive business, or for admission to some of
Colleges of the University.
No charge will be made for tuition, and
the requisites to admission will be simply
ability to speil, read,y write, and a knowledge
of the four element-ary ruies of arithmetic.
In this school will be taught all the common
English brauches, with L:vin, Geek. Alge
bra, Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Chemis
try, History, Book-keeping. The conrse em
braces four years, but a student m:y enter
an advanced class, if prepared by previous
study, and then complLie the course iu one,
two, thiee or four years, according to circum
stances. The students will be unde r the im
mediate control of a Principal, but they will
be taught by the various professors of the
University. This will secure their instrue
tion from the most experienced and able
teachers, with the use of all necessary ap
paratus for illustrating the various subjects
of study. This extra labor, the professors
cheerfully take upon themselves.
On the same day, the Trustees will open a
College of Literature and Arts, with a faculty
of eight professors, in which will be given
the ordinary four years' co-irse of study,
necessary to secure the degree of Bachelor of
Arts. Students not fully prepared to enter
this course, may supply their deficiencies in
the preparatory school. The course of study
in the College of Science and Philosophy will
be the same as that in the College of Litera
ture and Arts,except the Ancient Languages,
aad may be completed in two years, and
those completing this course will receive the
degree of Bachelor of Philosophy.
This will be an admirable course for busi
ness men. This College will be in charge of
six professors.
The Faculty of Law will consist of four
able profess6rs; embracing a professor of
Law proper, and three other professors in the
cognate branches necessary to fit the studnt
for the practice of his profession.
The Medical College will be in charge of
six professors and teachers, four in teaching
the medical studies, and two giving the
necessary scientific and literary instruction.
These four different Colleges, each complete
in itself, will constitute the Uiversity.
Some of the professois will be engaged in
more than one College. Each student will
be expected to have at least three daily reci
tations. No literary institution in the land
can give the student better advangtes, and
in no other College car, such advantages be
enjoyed at so small an expense. Thte various
proiessors in the Literary, Law and Medical
schools have volunteered to relinquish their
tuition fees, so that the student need only
provide for his board, clothing, text-books,
and pay for his diploma. The diploma fee
will not be as in many schools from thirty
to fifty dollars, but for the degree of Bachelor
of Arts, Bachelor of Laws, or M. D., the
charge will be $15. By 'tnessing," students
have made their expenses of board, lights,
fuel and washing, not to excued 510 per
month. To board in families the expense
will be from $16 to $20 per month.
So ample are the buildings and full the
faculties in the varios Colleges, that three
hundred students cau be accommodatad.
'be sons of South Carolina need not go
abroad for instruction, as it is offered to
them fre of expense at home, in the pro
fessional as well a>- in the literary and scien
ific schoo!. It is hoped that the University
vill be full next year. CAI:0LINA.

SUNNY SIDE, September, 1873.
MR. Eniton.-[t has been some time since
e have had the pleasure of pen:xing you a
ine. Time and circumstances were such
hat we could not possibly write. Most of
the time we were "ont the witng,'' sight see
ing and seeing sights. As we bid adieu to
the quiet and beautiful little village of Salem
ne calm and cool maorniing in August, whilst
the rain was gently pattering on the omni
us, we felt as though we we:e going from
among kind friends to seek pleasure among
strangers: but such was not the ease, for at
the depot we were joined by quite a number
f friends and met others on the train, oue
an old class-mate from Georgia. We were
joIned by othiers at various stations on the
oute, and ere we reached Atkin's Tank, some
undred miles West of our stating point, we
found onrselves in a coach full of the >lliest
set of "preachers" you ever met, and a no less
istinguished body than that of the South
estern Virginis Synod, which was to con
ene at Cedar Grove Church, Smy the Co.,
It has been our good fortune to pass -over
this route several times, hut every time some
new feature presenits it<elf to attract our
notice. The line lies through a most pie
tureque country andi presents a variety of
enery. Awhile you are daishing through
most lovely valley. covered with springing
grass and rich haryests of grain, then into
deep, rough and rugged moutlaiu defile,
perhaps to be plunged in to Egyptian dark
ness in some dark tunnel, when you emerge
to have a majestic river-burst upon your en
raptured vision. New River is a grand old
stream, atffords water power enough to turn
Virginia upside down, if they could only get
water-wheel large enough to b>ear the
pressure. Large rafts of lumber are con
stantly passing down, and occasionally a fiat
boat. Owing to rapids, &c., steamboats can
ot ply in it. We have been told that the
scenery in some parts surpasses that of the
Pali<ades on the Hudson. ClIffs rising for
undreds of feet perpendicularly, and most
>eatiful tees reaching to the water's edge;
imbing vines atid blooming flowers; cry
ng birds and swimiming fish, all lend to the
m~hantent of the view. But we arc ont tlc
ailrotd and not on the river, so let us returtn.
Gen. Mahone is having most elegant depots
at up all along the line of the A. M. & 0.
1. R. Sonic arc completed and other.s are in
progress. Had we time we would describe
ne of these buildings to you, and give you
some idea of their great convenience and
the elegant matnner in which they are fur
nished. There is a great deal of travel on
this line,drawn by the fine watering places and
ountain hotels. Every- Hotel from Bristol
to Lynchburgh was crowded this sumr,
and many large buildings used for colleges,
&c., were converted into boarding houses to
comodate the incasing demand for
lodgings. King Cholera routed the inhabi
tants from our Southern regions, and they
sought refuge in the mountains of Virginia.
Here the .enllow of the South can be replaced
y the bleaching of pure mountain breezes.
Here the freezing chills and burning fe'vers
can be driven away, and here the weak and
emaciated invalid may recover the bloom
amt hilarity of youth. None can know and
appreciate the healthfulness of this climate,
otly those who have enjoyed its bracing and
sparkling water; who have rambled over its
lofty mountains and wandered through its
green vales.
But hark!' the bell taps and we must go.
I-ow sad to he cut short in the midst of our
'curls." More next week.

MAI. EDITU.-I have been p1anting in this
County for twenty-one years, ;nd there never
was in that tine such a f-ailure in crops. The
oat crop was a fair one, but so small in area.
it amounted to but little-the wheat crop wu
next to nothing, and the corn is a complete
failure. There will not be enough iade to
feed man and beast as the should befed un
til the 1st otJanuary next, The cotton crop
will fall sliort of last years crop at least one
fourth-many will not make this. -if half as
much. The calamity is upon us and the
question is what are we to do? Shall we
sell off at present prices what little cotton we
will make and pay i- all out for bread and
meat, and go on eacd year in the samne way?
Tihere is in my opinion but one way oat of
the present dificulty. Sell off what cotton
you ure compelled to let go, and hold the
rest, as the price will be forced up by the
scarcity. The crop is a failure, not only here
but tbroughout tile cotton belt. It is impos
sible to make a cotton crop with the fall of
rain we have had during the past year, and
particulaily during the cotton making season.
I was told by a friend not long since, who
kept an accurate account of it, that it was
forty-eight inches from*1st September, '72 to
1st of September, '73, We have been unable
to stand it here where oar lands .require a
great deal of rain in Lummer. South and
and West of us the rains have been death to
the crop, producing rust, rot, catterpillars,
and boll worms. These pests are most disas
trous this year, as there is very little early
fruit, and the crop will be very skort.
Now to the main question, how to get out
of the difictilty. First, gather all the forage
you can-the crop of hay is fine. If you
keep your racks tilled with it you will not
nced so much corn during the winter. Look
to your barley lots at once. Put in ohe half
acre for each work animal, commencing
now and sowing one lot every two weeks unt
til December. There is ijo feed equal to bar
ley in the Spring for work animals. There
is nothing they are so fond of. By sowing a
succession of lots you can use it from March
to -June, then thresh out and use it as corn.
Next put in four acres of oats, one half black,
the other red or white, for each animal.
This will come in when the barley gives out,
and if well done and harvested properly will
make next year's crop with very little corn
for the work teams. Next put in one half
acre of wheat, if you can, one acre will
be better, to each laborer on the farm. If
well put in we will soon have very little else
to do as there is but little to gather, i: will
well nigh feed the people on each place, with
good gardens and turnip patches, &c.
Do these things and you will save your
teams runnitg through the mud andchy
this winter and next spring to Newberry,
wearing themselves out hauling corn. Be
sides you will be able to hold some of your
cotton and get a good price for it, and best
of all the money will be yours when you get
it, to be applied as you wish in material im
provements or othei .vise. I am not simply
writing these things, I shall practice them as
far as I can.
I remain yours, very respectfully,
ELLISON S. KE[TT.

PROsPERITY, Sept. 19, 1S73.
DEAu HEPALD :-I expect you are begin
ning to wonder what has become of your
correspondent. WeAI, he will offer no apolo
gy, but say his duties have kept him .o busy
for the last few weeks that be has had little
time to write.
Prosperity is going on very quietly.. The
new stores are one by one being opeued, and
filled with goods. The places teraporarily
occupied look deserted. By the middle of
October, if not before, all the new houses
will be occupied. Neuv cotton is coming in
every day; and the platform at the depot, so
long almost deserted, is being rapidly filled
up. We saw yesterday a new dray. On in
quiry we found out that it belonged to Mr.
J. IM. Kibler. It supplies a want long felt in
our town. One more shop1 is needed here.
We refer to a good shoe shop. A good shoe
maker could find cnou:th to do here to keep
him employed. We hope some one will take
the hint and come on. We have some "so
called," hut we want one who understands
his business, and can make sHOS. A
branch of some book store we think could do
well here. It's need is felt by many of our
citizens. With these two wvants supplied we
would be completely fixed. A suggestion to
the citizens of our town: can we not get up
a reading room, and have it supp!ied with
good reading matter for the improvement of
our people ? We ought to try to make nien
tal -and moral progress while we are pro
gressing in other matters. We hope some
steps may be taken to set on foot such an
enterprise.
In the country around about town the cot
ton is opening rapidly. The constant rain
of the ha.st two days will do it much injury.
The health of Our community is not as good
as it has bectn. There is a good deal of fever,
some cases right severe. Mr. Win. Werts
lst a child last Friday. rliis is the only death
we have heard of. We are just fronm the
Stone 111ll country where we have had a very
ineresting meeting. We do not ktnow where
we have*seen so much interest manifested in
a meeting. Congregations were large from
irst to last. We go down toward Lexington,
and if we see anything of interest in that
portion of our County we will let you know
of it.
Since writing the above, Mr. J. M. Wheeler
received a sevete wound in the left hand by
having it canght In his gin. The cuts are
severe, but the limb can be saved.
Whten we arrived at Colony Lutheran
Church ont Sunday evening, we found that
it bad been openued atnd the closet broken in
to. Nothing was disturbed, however. We
think they were in search of wvine. Se
time ago, some one broke in and took what
was left from communion; and as we had
just passed a communion season, I suppose
they thought there would be more left. laut
the elders have learned to keep it more se
cuely. It is sin enough to inidulge in wine
too freely, at any time, but to steal the com
munion wine from a chnrch-catn it be for
given? -PIlI.
"Tuaow PHYsIC TO THE DOGs.'-"IE
Gaprc" recently gave an illustration of
the new chromo issued by the Murray 11ill
Publishing Company, 129 East Twenty-eigh th
Street, from Bispham's painting-"'Throw
Physic to the Dogs." The subject is a little
girl physicing various specimens of the ca
nine race. The scene is a laughable one,
and the different attitudes of the dogs arc
exceedingly pleasing.
It was designed to illustrate Dr. Foote's
aversion to drugs, and accompamnies each
copy of his well-known work, "Plain Ilome
Talk and Medical Common Sense." The
Doctor's p r a c I c ee is- thoroughly "New
Schoo," and in this way he stands promi-]
nently out from the profession a successful
practitioner.
The book is a volume of 91-2 pages and
200 illustrations, filled with facts undI reason
relating to mankind, and their soeial and
physical status. The Graphic says of it: "It
is an encyclopedia of useful knowledge." A
noted clergyman of this city testifies to its
merits, remarking: "It is a library in itself.
The Franklin Repository, of Chamnbersburg,
Pa., speaks of the picture as "a beautiful
chromo, very pleasant, and so enjoyable as
to be almost good company."-NEw YORK

by the Burnble Bee, of Albion, Ill. It is

Iron inthe Blood
AN
TONIC
MAKES THE WEAK STRONGS
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect
edf Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron. is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Nature's Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures "a thousand ills," simply
byi Toning up,Invigorating and
Jritalizing the System. The en
rziched and italized blood per
meates every part of the body,
repairing damzages and weste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derfu.d success of this remed y in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Comn
plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar
rhoea, Boils,NervousAffections,
Chills and Fevers, Humors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility or a lowo
state of the system. Being free
from .Alhl, in any form, its
energizing effects are not fol-.
lowed by corresponding reac-.
tion, but are permnanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and newo
life into all parts of the system,
and building up an Iron Con
st it ution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remed y, from
weak, sickly, cuffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women; and
invalids cannot reasonably hoee
it ate to give it a trial.
See that each bottle has P ERU
VIAN SYRUP blown in the glass.
