"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.

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

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.

making a few interesting mentions.
There are in the different departments
one hundred and twenty-two students,
representing all sections of country in

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! _____

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."

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

So far as our observation extend

of the State does a better feeling exis

DEAR HERA LD: I am at a loss foi
news, but will try to gather a few items
of some kind. 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

-CIIINQUEPIN, So'., CA.,
August 20th, 1874.
o EDITOR HERALD.-WhIen we lasi
Swrote you a brief letter, we were be
Sg'aning to need rain, but I am painel
to write you we are now suffering badl;
for want of it. Cotton has stopped
agrowing, and is shedding off fast, ani
in some places is literally dead and dy.
0 ing. Although the cotton prospect was
e at one time flattering, it is now the re
a verse. But few expect to realize one
half an average crop of cotton, whikd
others only one-third of a crop. Cottox
is opening fast, as many as three opei
bolls can be seen on astalk. Potatoei
,fare also snffering and the crop presents
a a complete failure. Peas are beginning
s to turn yellow and the leaves begin tc
r fall. The gardens also present a sad
appearance, and the heart grows sicl
to think there will be no soar krout tc
eat this winter with the backbones. Nc
turnip seed have been sown yet. Vine:
Sof various kinds are dead. Most of the
farmers have finished pulling fodde,
a'iid cutting hay, there seems to be 2
Sgood provision made for long food, for
a the coming winter. Our pen fails t(
i write of pic-nics and pleasures of the
:day, if there be any.
Readers of the HERALD, if we have
s interested yon in our letters from
SChinquepin, we have accomplished out
Sobject, if not, with this we terminate
our career, as we are gone where the
woodbine twineth and rain is not need
ed. With a faint voice we utter fare
Swell from M. E. D.
-We regret that our correspondent has
t allowed the drouth to affect him so se
t riously. The prospect is bad enough,
a but it might b)e .worse, and even
, now while we add these lines the de
.lightful exhilarating effects of a shower
are experienced, and the heavens give
i propitious signs of more rain to bless
S the parched earth. If M. E. D. has
>really gone where the wooodbine twin
- eth, we trust he may have a good time.
Changes are good in their way some
times. If not gone yet, we bid him
look up, take cheer, and enjoy the good
of the pIesent.-ED. HERALD.
THE RADICAL DItzMi%A.-Com
Imenting on the resolute opposition of
>the whites of the South to the civil
rights bill, as shown in the recent
State elections, the New York Sun
says: "The Republican party is in a
serious dilemma in respect to the elec
tions of this fall and the great contest
two years hence If it fails to favor
the civil rights bill in this campaign
and to pass it in the next Congress, it
will drive away a large proportion of
the one million negro votes. If, on
the other hand, the party now advo
cates and ultimately passes the bill, a
great body of Conservative Republi
cans will refuse to sustain its nomina
tions. This, we think, is the lesson
taught by the Southern elections."
