The Wihman Professorahi A meeting of the brethren as friends of the late Bishop Wightma was held in this city last week, 1 consider the prop sition of Mr. C. I Muckenflss. which was nadic throng the Sootherni Christian Advoca of the 18th instant, 'that the Churc in South Carolina unite with tI Church at large in erecting the mo u:nent proposed' to the memory Bishop W., 'and in addition concur rearing a more enduring one than th Of marble,' the endowment of a pr fessorship in Wofford College, to 1 called the Wightman Professorshi The suggestion was favorably ente tained, and the amount which w proposed to be raised for the purpos $40,000, regarded as reasonable. was concluded that an appeal for ti sum be maie to the alumni of We ford College, to the friends and a mirers of the deceased Bishop, at to the members of our Church South Carolina. it was determined that the Cot mittee who have charge of the dui of obtaining funds for the erection the monument be not interfered wi in their work, as it is no doubt ti wish of the entire Church to rear monument over the grave of our b loved Bishop, who lies in Magnol Cemetery. A Committee has been appointe whose duty it shall be. meanwhile, make suitable appeals and exertions behalf of the fund to endow the pr fessorship The two claims upon o Methodism are not too many, nor w they prove onerous. The Comwitt appointed for the latter purpose ar C. H. Mackenfuss. Chairman ; E Meynardie, W. K. Blake. If. Newton, S. B. Jones, L. B. Hayni W. A. Rogers. The undersigned having been I quested to prepare and publish ti circular, setting forth the facts abo stated, esteems it both an honor and privilege to do so He does nut d:e:u it necessary ti ~n arguimut should be wade to co ti ie the rcaders of this address the eminent propriety of the sugg< !ion that a monument, of a liters and religious character, be reared the memory of Bishop Wightma which in the durability of its infl euce upon the mind and heart, m survive the "Pyramids of brass, That all the fond artificers did thini Immortal workmanship." This action will strengthen an h< ored and esteemed institution of t Church, and widen its field of usefi ness in the culture of mind and imp tation of knowledge. 'My praise,' sa England's most philosophic think 'shall be dedicated to mind itsel The honor we propose to confer, would dedicate to the mind. -T wind is the man, and the knowled of the mind. A .an is but what knoweth.' Thus we seek to prodi worthy effects, and to endow life wi its highest distinetions and pura pleasures. The thought of endowing, in tl way, a Methodist College, is a hap one, by reason of the fact that it a be a most fitting memoriai of worth of a Methodist Bishop, w had been himself devoted to learnin had spent a large part of his lifetia as an educator of youth ; and h filled with eminent ability every stati in the Church to which he had be called. We feel confident that the anal mous voice of our Southern Char will endorse the propriety of conf ring upon Wofiord College the c< templated honor, as a grateful tribt to the memory of its first preside: to whom, more than to any otl man, that institution is indebted its original organization, its exhan less vitality, and its continued succe 'There he did a grreat work,' remar Dr. Summers, -for which he desers and wi:l reeive a perpetual memnori: This memorial we now propose to: cord to him:; and one which will o0 last the trophies snatched from b; tle-fields, and preserved in halls splendor, for the admiration and I mage of posterity ; trusting that it m prove 'a rich store-house for the Crt tor, and the relief of man's estate.' Another reason for this endowme is, Bishop Whitnian's conspicuo connection with South Carolina Met odism. He was born and educated this city, and in this State he p formed the duties of his early nmin try. Here he was the associate Capers, Andrew, Dunwoody,v 01 Pierce, when these sainted servants Gecd were identinied, in all their se sacrifices, noble gifts and watehh power, with Caroiina Methcodis And. after the lapse of years. and brilliant career of usefulness, when was elevated to the Episcopate, sought his home again in his nati city, where he might recall the tend associations of early life, be re unit with his own people, and lie, in swr repose, benea:h his own cherish soil.

By all means, t object should be accomplished witl the present year. It will, therefo e be necessary that the gentlemen a h have been named as the Commit to raise funds, should go to work once with zeal and determination, a adopt every legitimate method of insuring a complete final triumph.

In another column is an editorial article from the Abbeville Press and Banner on the subject of insurance. The occasion for the article is seen or in the extract from the HEr.aD that precedes it. With this, or any oth er particular case, we have nothing ca to do. The transaction between cal Henry Kennedy and the Queen In ce- surance Company is not a matter to of public concern, but their own gh private business. And whether the no Queen is attempting to "beat" Ken ad nedy out of money that it justly 1l owes him, or whether Kennedy is ug trying to get what his contract with 01 the company does not entitle him up to. are matters for Kennedy and the .ta es. company to settle between them. nd Selves. be -Now. as to insurance in gentral. bit We :o npt agree with the f'r-" i; re Ba" a tha insimee acimple ok nd should be cotpeliyd -alwiys to U'Y lur the full amount :iai:ii-d in the rts policy. An insulance con:pany al does not promise uncondition 1d ally, in case an insured house is ra- burned, to pay the full amount ird mentioned in the policy. On the re- contrary, the company promises to ich pay oply the actual loss, up to a cer re- tain amount fixed by the policy. ate Every fire policy provides that the an insurance shall be subject to the On following conditions : (1) the ct amount of loss or damage to be ?c estin:trd according to the actual r. cash value of the property at the ro- time of the fire, and (2) the amount, ?ve at the request of either party, to be eir submitted to arbitration: each par ore ty to choose an arbitrator, and these on- two a third ; and the award of any ~nd two, in writingj and under oath, is te to be binding as to the aimount of the the loss. These conditions are wise ted sel and proper, whether considered from the standpoint of the insur en- ance company or from the stand. '- ptoint of the general public. Insur ~ nee, as it is, is not always a safe Its thing to a community, the protee ose tion to the community being too is often in inverse ratio to the protec the tion to the insured. And if insur the ance companies were compelled tc i t pay the full amount mentioned in ay the policy, without regard to the si actual value of the property burned, the the danger from fire might become dfearful. So that public policy, as Swell as right and justice, requires di that the measure of payment should ks, be the actual loss. Courts and ju hries woul no-osi h public Ligood were they to make the barn ~~ing of houses. whether accidental ~ar- or otherwise, a profitable transac he tion. S But it is said the insurance com uit. ei' pany abouhd npt be allowed, after a si. house is burned, to gainsay its val his tie. In such a case the insurer has the paid more than necessary upon his are insurance ; but it may be his own ifault. He tires the amount; he is by supposed to know the value of his or o vn property better than others ; and he is told in his policy that if ~ ir hos e burned he will get d. _only its actual value. The record in of insurance companies is almost t unvarying that whenever anything ai like a fair value is put on a house Zo the f-ull amount is paid without the is question or cavil. We venture to say a- that if everybody would put the x>.- same valiue on his property when he goes to insure it. as he does when he returns it to the Auditor for >taxation. or anything' like the same, n-- there would be very little trouble rcs fin adjusting the loss, and it would snot require particularly 'shrewd' jer men to do it either o It is to the interest of the public of- that excessive nire policies are nloL :he paid : it is to the interest of private fer individuals not to pay excessive premiums on insurance. The Abbeville 2fediumn says: "Bayard is a monarchist by nare and can have no sympathy with the American mases. He has too much style. and is not particularly endowed with brains. Won't the "Chevalie" hang his -diminished head when he sees this i IThe Lanrensville iferaid is pay ing more attention to local news, 2. and is not neglecting other import The State Executive Committee, which met last week in Columbia, has issued an address, in which it appeals to Democrats from every part of the State for help for those citizens who are heing prosecuted in Charleston under charges of vio lating the election laws. The County Chairmen will forward any sums that may be lianded to them. The Committee will meet again the 19th to discuss matters of im portance to the Democratic party and to provide for a thorough or ganization of the party. - Pleasant Adams, colored. one of the Greenville Academy of Music burners, who is under sentence to be hanged, has professed conversion and joined the Baptist Church. He wants to be immersed. Lawyer Stokes applied to the Circuit Judge for an order allowing him to be taken out of jail and baptized in Reedy River: but the Judge re fused to allow him to be taken from jail. Cornelius J. Vanderbilt. of New York, son of the old "Commodore," committed suicide Sunday night by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. Senator Butler thinks the State should be redistricted before the next Congressional election. President Arthur has vetoed the bill to prohihit the immigration of I Chinese laborers. Mr. Hurlburt. U. S. Minister to (hili. died the 28th ultimo. Seat New*, Col. J,no. T. lhett was clec;ed Tuesday Mayor of Columbia. Tkie entire regular Democratic ticket was elected. Hugh P. Kane and three other revenue officers who killed Amos Ladd in Pickens County in 1878, were acquitted in U. S. Court in Charleston Tuesday. Win. Dodson, Pleasant Adams, Rich'd Bates and .Joe Burton, all colored, are to be hanged the 28th for burning the Greenville Academy of Music. They have been con victed twice. The Insurance Trick Which has Succeeded too Open, 'Mr. E. W. Seibels, of Columbia, has been in Newberry several days ast ing for the Queen Insurance Com" pany in adjusting Henry Kennedy': less by fire. He offered to settle at $1.181.75 on the house and S192 or loss and damage to furniture; but Kennedy refused'-erald. Does this paragraph not contair food for thought ? Did that corn pany act rightly or honestly in taking money on a policy which they openly refuse to pay as soon as the house is burnt ? If the Queen Insuranci Company can look at the bt on whiet the house stood, and after scraping it its ashes ascertain to within twenty tive cents of its value, why could they not have approximated tbe value o the same house before it was burnt The Insurance Companies ought tc be men of good business capacity, but if they or their agents who can makt a personal inspection cf the property before insuring, lack the judgment 0 business tact to approximate the true value of a building, and then take the premium on a policy, no matter what the amount, they should be made tc pay. If the agent of the Queen In surance Company had entered into a solemn contract in writing to bny Kennedy's house at any specified price, he could have held them to a compliance with their part of that agreement, and we see no reason why Kennedy should not get the money which the comipany promised on his policy if his house should be burnt. This way ..f -beating' unfortunate poliey hojlders out of a portiLru oithi jast dues has gone o-n long enaough. Such a course deserves the condeni nation of al! good men. Of course the Queen Insurance Company clain that they propose to pay to Kennedy al] that his house was worth for burning purposes, while denying their obliga tion to pay him the insurable value. This seems like a game of -Ueads, I win ; Tails, you lose.' Kennedy may have paid the premium on the com pany's admitted insurab!e value for a life time. and they have quietly pocketed the excess, but after it has been laid in ashes. it has been sadden ly discovered that it is not now worth las much as it was when the company were annually taking Kennedy's money. We believe our citizens de serve that protection which the Leg islature and the Courts onif can give in such ease, and we hope that Ken I edy may' have the manhood to put his claiui in Court, where the Queen Iusurance Company may plead their inability to estimate the value of a house 'before it is burnt. while prov ing themselves ndepts at figures when the time comes for them to pay. If the companies feel proud of -beatingr' the policy-holders out of a portion of their just dues, why do they not publish in their annual stateents, the amounts which they have made to the company by their exrrertness in the business of raking premiuws on plcies which they may have avoided the just pay. ment? Our advice to every policy-holder in case of fire, is, to demand the pay ment to the last cent which the com panies may have promised. There is not a jury in South Carolins that will interfere with their contract. When they received the premium on the pol iey they were bound by their agree meat to pay the sutu mentioned when there is no means of defrauding a pal. icy-holder out of his money, if he contends for it. Let every policy holder who may be so ntftrtunate as to lose his property. hold on to his policy until the whole of the money is paid. So profitable has been this business of obtaining abatements. we are of opinion that shrewd men are kept in their employ as 'adjusters.' If any man should lose his property, he should under no cirednstances, take one cent less than the amount promised.-Abbeville Press and Ban-' ner.

Sorghum has not the time nor the desire, even if he posse:sed the talent, to write for the amusemunt of the public ; but he feels constrained to gratify to some degree the cnriosity of "Hard Tack." le regrets that in his other short note, which he did not think was on "schools." he adopted, inadvertently, the wonderful part of "llard Tack's" inimitable "style." He is willing to concede that "Hard Tick" has a "settled opinion" whether any one else has or not. Sorghum is fool enough to think that the subject of schools is not one of secondary imnportance, and that any one who can or will render e'f'ective service in that diree tion hsas no cause to be ashamed, even t'nocgh~ hp ma iot be possessed of the ver satiiitt of "Hard Tack."
