BY ADDISON. "Honor and fame from no condition rise, Act well your part, there all the honor lies." The pages of history teem with ac counts of men who have risen from the lowly vale of poverty to the most exalted stations. The humble student boy has en by degrees and becomes the learn ed and scientific professor; the appren tice from his serving -to the elevated dignity of a statesman ; the private soldier to wear the insignia of royalty; the rustic youth from the country to the distinguished lawyer and the mer chant millionaire ; tl-e plowman of the field, by the splendor of his talents, be comes the object of universal admira tion. These live along the aisles of history, but we shall not seek in the past, or in distant lands for one worthy of our notice. He can be found near er home, a citizen of our own beloved State, and as deserving of a mark of respect for his course in life as those who have preceded him to more exalt ed positions. A few days ago, we received a pam phlet, entitled "The thirty-second An niversary of the House of Geo. W. Williams & Co., and the Inauguration of the Carolina Savings Bank, of Charleston, S. C.," which was held in Charleston, S. C., May 2, 1874. The head and front of this house is George W. Williams. At this cele bration were present the business men of the city, divines, judges, editors, and the talent of the bar, who, in ap propriatespeeches, marked by modesty, paid mernted complimen ts to the suc cessful merchant and banker, (3. W. Williams. We have but slight acquain tance with Mr. Williams, but presume him to be between fifty and sixty years of age. Suffice it to say, that he started out in life when seventeen years of age, with ten dollars in his pocket, earned by the sweat of his brow. From his father's home, in Nacoochee Valley, Ga., walked to Au gusta, Ga., with a budget on his back, distance 150 miles. There we find him obtaining a situation, prompt in action, attentive to his business, indus trious, honest, economical and moral in his habits. Step by step he rose, until we find him doing business on his own responsibility. Next a whole sale merchant and banker in the city of Charleston and a banker in New York, and now the inaugurator and President of the Charleston Savings Bank, chartered by the last Legisla ture-an institution which if properly conducted, (which we have every as surance of from his being the Presi dent,) will be of incalculable benefit to all classes of society. Mr. Williams is a wealthy man not so wealthy as Astor or Vander bilt or Stewart, but wealthy far be yond, the most of our Southern Mer chants. He is liberal in his views, charitable in his disposition and gener ous in his donations. Be steered his concern safeiy through stormy panics and momentary convulsions, when hundreds went down all around him; passed unscathed through the trying ordeal of the war, and launched out with renewed vigor at its close on the commercial ocean again. He stands to-day at the head of the mercantile department in South Carolina. The pictures drawn by Plutarch have influenced, it is said, the minds of many to great and heroic actions. While Mr. Williams would be no pro totype for glory-seeking men at the cannon's mouth on the bloody field of battle, yet it may well be said that he stands forth to-day as a living model for the young men of the State, who have to go forth on the battle-field of life and desire to achieve a successful and respectable name. We wish that every young man in the State had one of these pamphlets to read. His letter and speech possessed not the classic style of Bulwer, the descriptive power of~ Cooper, the mellowed soft ness and chastity of Irring,the beaute ous imagery of Bryant, the pleasing and attractive manner of Scott, the humor, glow and sparkle of the bril liant Halleck, but they abound in max ims of wisdom and experience, inculca ting industry, perseverance, energy, honesty, moralitv,punctuality-becom ing qualities that will fit one to stand before princes. They are far superior to the yellow backed novels of the day, which teach unreal notions of life, exaggerated views and pander to the morbid appetites of society. The les. son of his career are calculated to plant rich seeds in the bosom of every young man, to blossom in manhood and bear fruit when they are old. His advice, in a few words, is 'Be up and doing, With a heart for every fate; Still achieving. still pursuing, Learn to la bor and to wait.' A WOMAN ATTACKED BY A HUGE BEAR-A MOST HORRIBLE D)EATH. The Kingston Gazette tells us of a ter rible fate which met a negro woman in the lower part of Lenoir county. It seems that she and her husband were working in a field, and at noon she started home and went across a branch to a neighbor's to get some fire, and in her return she was met by a huge bear, and being in a state of pregnancy the ferocious aniwal attack OSWEOo, N. Y., August 1, 1874. The formation of a National Sports men's Association at this time is at tracting the attention not only of per SoDS devoted to the taking of animals, fish and fowl, for profit, but also of sportsmen and others who are desirous of preventing the wanton destruction of creatures used for the food or com fort of man. When the primitive emigrants first arrived in this country, they found the forests, seas, and streams swarm ing with animal life, the result of centuries of undisturbed security. From that day the destruction of these creatures began, first for the preserva tion of life and for raiment; next as articles of sale or commerce, or to be used in the arts of civilized life; again, as population increased, the destruc tion increased for the purposes of sport. This unrestricted slaughter has at length resulted in the total extermina tion in this country of some varieties of animals and birds, or driving them so far away .from populated districts that isolated specimens are now rarely found in the remotest wildernesses. The Beaver, which was once so freely found in Pennsylvania, no longer exists. The Deer, which were once so plentiful in various sections of the country, are becoming rare, and various other animals, birds and fish are now the subjects of legislative enactments. So great importance is attached to the preservation of fish, that many States have not only restricted the time of fishing, but have passed laws and have made appropriations and appointed eminent citizens as commissioners for the purpose of restoeking streams and lakes which the cupidity of men have almost depopulated. While in the general sense it is to the interest of society that this indis criminate slaughter be stopped, on no one class of men does the duty of guiding public sentiment, instigating harmonious international laws and at. tention to a proper regard for the same, devolve so much as on the sportsman. The amateur who delights in hunt ing and fishing-not for gain, but for healthful recreation-for recuperation -for exercise-is of all men the one who appreciates the importance of the law. The statesmen who sees the importance of cheap food and raiment for the people, whose interests are his charge, will use his endeavors to pro vide laws, that future generations may not be deprived of the blessings which this generation is so wantonly destroy ing. In this view, the preservation of the of fur seal in Alaska, the bison of the plains, the fish in our rivers and streams, and the crustacea on our sea coasts, is of momentous importance. With a view of procuring a concen tration of interest and effort, it is now deemed desirable to form a National organization, that the action of sports men may be harmonious and uniform in all districts of our common coun try ; and for this purpose a movement has been inaugurated by the "New York State Association for the Pro tection of Fish and Game," in a pre lininary meeting at Niagara Falls on September 9, 1874, to take such action as may then seem advisable.

C., on Wednesday evening, 12th instant, the Hon. C. G. Mem minger being in the chair and Mr. A. C. Kaufman, Secretary. The Presi dent read articles of agreement upon which the consolidation with the French Broad Railroad Company was to be effected, when, on motion of Colonel Johnr H. Evins, it was .Re.solved, That a meeting of the stockholders, for the purpose of con sidering the measure of consolidation, be held in Spartanbnrg, at the hall of the National Bank, on Wednesday evening, September 9, at 8 o'clock. Resolutions looking to the imimedi ate location of the entire line from Spartanburg to Asheville by the engi neer corps, and requesting the Presi dent to advertise for proposals from contractors to do the grading, bridg ing and masonry of the first or South Carolina section of the road to the point near the Block House twenty three miles long, were read and adopted. Colonel Thad Coleman was elected chief engineer of the company. A grand barbecue, to which the people of Charleston, Columbia, Spar tanburg, Union and North Corolina are to invited, will be given at Spar tanburg Court House, on Thursday, September 10. Speeches will be made, and an .address delivered by the Hon. C. G. Memminger. The frst spadeful of earth on the new road will be thrown up on that day. Much enthusiasm prevails. TREEs UNDER THlE SEA.-I hardly know what to make of this. Lately I heard some travelers talking about having sailed in a boat over a forest of trees-sme standing, some fallen, and all bare and dead. Yes, there they are, trunks and branches com plete, away down under the waves, and so they are called submarine for ests, marine standing for sea, and sub for under. Where are these wonderful forests ? Why, pretty far away, I must ad mit; just off the coast of France and England, the travelers said-though I remember they did speak of one in the Bay of Fundy, if you know where that is. At certain points, when the tides are very low off the English coast, and the water is very clear, the people sometimes go out in boats to look down under the water at the poor, dead trees, and sometimes they see among the fallen branches the antlers of dead deer, and sometimes the fishermen hook up elephant's teeth. How did the trees get under the water, or the water over the trees do you ask, my dears ? Ah ! knowl edge is a wonderful thing. The trav elers didn't explain the matter at all. Make haste to learn and tell me all about it.-St. Nicholas frr July. The iHeraldi. TPOS. F. GRENEKER, EDITOR. NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 26, 1874. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The Catalogue of the Trustees, Faculty and Pupils of the above flour ishing Institution, a copy of which is before us. affords an opportunity of making a few interesting mentions.

Newberry gives this in3titution, Miss Kate Gary, Miss Ella Longshore, Misses Mollie and Nora Goggans. The course of study is thorough and comprehensive. The Fall term begins the first Wed nesday in September, and continues twenty-one weeks, while the terms are moderate. A Water Spout. The strange phenomenon of a large water spout is described as being seen one day last week at Langley, S. C. The pond at Langley covers 600 acres, and over this rested a dark cloud, which shot downwards a funnel shaped column, the water apparently moving upwards to meet it. The two met finally and through the huge funnel thus formed an immense quantity of water was sucked up. The column, it is said, did not remain stationary, but moved towards the railroad trestle, in which direction it disappeared. Not a drop of water fell from this newly charged cloud in the vicinity, although a heavy rain in the neigh borhood of Aiken was supposed to be the result of it. Short Thrift. A negro, named Henry Glover,com mitted an assualt on Friday of last week on Mrs. Shuler, of Lexington, while on her way home. While en gaged in his brutal work a white man came up, when the negro fled. Mrs. Shuler was badly beaten about the head with a lightwood 'knot. Subse quent search found the villain in a swamp, and rightly he was shot down on the spot. The next ease is that of the negro who murdered Capt. A. F. Butler, Railroad Agent, in the city of Augusta, during the last week. It was an ur provoked murder and done in the presence of the murdered man's wife. Here, too, was a richly deserved pun ishmwent meted out. The negro, after arrest and incarceration, was demanded of the jailer by the indignant citizens and speedily made to expiate his crime. What a comment on civil rights! _____ Carolina Military Institute. We acknowledge receipt of a copy of the official Register for 1873 to 1875 inclusive, of Col. J. P. Thomas' Mili tary Institute at Charlotte, N. C. The total number of students is one hun dred and two-Virginia sending three; North Carolina, forty-five ; South Carolina, forty-six; Georgia, two; Florida, two. and Cuba, two. The next session opens under most favora ble prospects on the 1st of October next. We make the following extract in regard to Discipline: "In the Caro lina Military Institute the discipline is military, but the military element, though used, ig not unduly mag nified. The object being to impress upon the cadets the idea of duty and responsibility, the military arm is employed, not so much to compel an unquestioning obedience to a rigid code, as to strengthen appeals to the moral sense and to enforce ethical propositions. All of the military that is really valuable is used; all that is unnecessary and purely mechanical is rejected." Circulars furnished on application to Col. J. P. Thomas, Charlotte, N. C. The Way it Works. We copy from the Edgefield Adver tiser the following. It tells plainly how radicalism works: The prisoners in our jail, mostly, if not all, colored, send us a scrawl, which, being reduced to good English, amounts to this: Messrs. Editors-We, as poor prisoners, beg space in your columns to say that we feel deeply thankful that God has blessed us with the ministrations of such a good man as the Rev. Win. Thomas, who, on Saturday last, came in and spent some time with us, reading and talking for the welfare of our souls, and losing with prayer. He read to us the 3rd Chapter of John, and assured us hat whosoever believeth in Christ shall not perish but shall have everlasting life. We must say that this good preacher as done more for us than any one we ever saw. He has often given us papers and books, and pointed us the way from earth to glory. He has done more for us han the colored preachers, for they seem to care nothing for us. Not one f them ever comes in to see us. So ve pray that God may reward Mr. h in Heavn.

A Call for a National Sports men's Convention. At Oswego, N. Y., June 23, 1874 the State Association for the prote( tion of fish and game, resolved to er dorse the call for a National Associ tion, and appointed the 9th day c September, at Niagara Falls, as th time and place to meet in conventior and deliberate for intelligent and eff cient legislation for the protection c Game, Birds and Fish. In accordanc with this the call is made and dele gates are invited from all sections c the country to attend the Convention which we have been requested to pul lish. The necessity for some sue legislation cannot be doubted, but n matter how wholesome it might b made it could have no effect on an; hunting grounds in this part of th d.>main.

So far as our observation extend the Pkcix is correct in saying tha "the colored people are prepared ti listen to men whom they have alway respected." And it is our duty t encourage that feeling.

It has been most dis tressingly dry in our neighborhood, sc much so that I fear we will not make more than half a crop of cotton. The t early cotton has shed off and wilted sc badly that it has commenced to open before the bolls are grown. The late cotton has not suffered so much. It continued to grow during the dry wea ther, and since the rain that fell on Friday last it looks fresh and promises a fair crop if fiost stays off until the last of October. Late corn will not do much. Early corn, since the foddei e has been stripped, is not so good as wc expected, though I think the most ol the farmers about here will makf enough to do them. I had the pleasure of being one of a e small party that was invited to attend the marriage of.Mr. J. H. Goree tc Miss Ida B. Maffett, at the residence o the bride's mother, on the 20th inst. The ceremony was performed at 2 o'c. P. M., by the Rev. E. P. McClintock. After partaking of cakes, candies, 0 raisins, iced lemonade, &c.. the party e then proceeded to the residence of Mr, Y W. H.
