Next week the trustees of New berry College will be called upon to decide some important matters af fecting the welfare of that institu tion, and it is to be hoped that, in their wisdom, they may devise some plan by which new life and greater success will result to the College. The college building is one. of the best in the South; it is well equip ed and is practically unencumbered. But, in common with most of our denominational institutions, New berry College is in need of prompt relief. And, as the subject presents itself to our mind, one of three plans must be adopted, all of which we commend to the earnest consider ation of the trustee; The first plan. Something might be accomplished by opening the College for the admission of girls. Co-education has been tried in many of the best institutions of learning in this country and Europe. with uniformly satisfactory results. And it is now a success rather than an experiment. Owing to causes which we have neither the time nor the inclination to discuss; we have been more conservative than the North ern educators. on this subject; but '-- the barriers of prejudice are gra dually giving way. and the subject is growing in popular favor. If, as is confidently believed by many, 'co-education would double the num ber of students in.Newberry College, it would also double the revenue of the-institution, leaving the number of instructors unchanged, and would thus do much to place it on a surer footing. The subject should at least engage the attention of the trustees. before the next mneeting of Sn,1ed. A secon<l plan. We should pre fer to see the College maintained on its present basis, the number of instructors unchanged. But in the light of experience, it is hard to see how this can be done success fully. It is in the power of the c.hurch to make this plan success ful, beyond question, by exciting rester activity and liberality among the congregations, and by keeping an efficient agent in the field, here and at the North, for the purpose of endowing the College; h ut we (do not look for any very marked success while the College struggles along the plane on which it now labors. The trustees may see the subject in a different and more favorable light. Athird plan. Whatever course may be adopted, the people of New berry are entitled to a good pre paratory school. They have given the very best evidence of their interest in the College by closing the male academy 'hnd patronizing the boys' school in the College. Owing to the frequent changes of instructors, this department has not been as efficient .as it would otherwise have been. and it has naturally failed to give complete satisfaction. We suggest that two capable men, a principal and an aissistant, should be placed in this department, and kept there, without 4 any expectation of speedy promo tion. Let them receive the entire income of the school, and they will make it a success. This would soon build up a flourishing preparatory school, which, being a feeder to the college classes, would, in a~ few y ears, swell the catalogue of the College proper. In the collegiate department. the number of students being small, let instructions be given by three capable teachers who are devoted to their profession. The income of the College will, for several years. Sbe insufficient to support them, but the Synod can give them reasonable salaries by making an annual ap proriaionof. say, eight hundred dollars, and thus supplementing the fund accruing from tuition. Of coure the financial agent should be V kept in the11eld, whatever plan may he adopted. The Lutheran Church and the people of Newberry County cannot afford to let the College go down, and the time for decisive action has come. The decision of the trust?es next week will be anxiously await edK w the friends of te rolege A GREENVILLE SCANDAL. THE RUIN OF A YOUNG GIRL AND A SHOOTING AFFRAY BETWEEN HER FATHER AND HER BE TRAYER. News and Courier. GREENVILLE. June 14.-A shoot ing serape occurred in this city about 11 o'clock to-day, the pre ceding and attendant circumstances of which embrace a sad and shame ful story. Rumor has filled the air for several days past of the seduc tjon of a sixteen-year old daughter of Mr. L. W. Kay, constable for Trial Justice Croft, by L. Wash. Floyd, a young merchant broker. formerly of Newberry, and of an impending hostile meeting between the seducer and the father of the ruined girl. Conferences were had, at which Floyd made a flat and posi tive denial of any and all of the facts alleged, and avowed the re port a slanderous falsehood origi nating with M. B. Harrison, a young man who had previously been pay ing attention to Miss Kay. Floyd and Harrison were brought face to face yesterday morning, when Har rison repeated and asserted to be true what he had previously stated, namely, that he had several nights ago seen Floyd take Miss Kay to his room in the Mauldin building, where he remained closeted with her for some time. Floyd there upon called Harrison a liar, and immediately pistols were drawn. Harrison was in the act of firing when his hand was caught and a tragedy prevented. The seduction was stoutly denied by Miss Kay, and her irate father was quite't a loss to know whom to call to ac count. The whole truth came to light last night, however, by a full and detailed confession from the girl to her parents. The story reveals the premedi tated and fully planned and finally accomplished ruin of the unfortu nate girl,. who is the possessor of rare beauty and against whose fair name nothing has ever before been said. About two weeks ago, ac cording to Miss Kay's account, she was taken out for a buggy ride by Floyd. When they had reached the top of Paris Mountain, five miles from town, the buggy was left and she was induced to stroll amid the cool recesses and ravines of the mountain. Bottles of wine had been provided by Floyd. and the victim of his passion was in duced to imbibe until she was well under the influence of the wine. They returned. to the city about 9 ociock that night. Since then the iuveiglement of the girl into the room, as told by Harrison, is al leged to have occurred. About 11 o'clock to-day, as above stated, Mr. Kay accompanied by his brother-in-law; Mr. HI. 0. King, re paired to Floyd's office, in the rear part of the store of Lipscomb, Rus sell & Co.. on Main street. Kay made a formal demand upon Floyd that he should at once marry his outraged daughter. Floyd made a positive refusal and the shooting began. Floyd in anticipation of what was coming had a cocked pistol in his hand in his coat pocket and fired as Kay was drawing his pistol from his hip pocket. The firing was in quick succession, Floyd firing three times and Kay twice. Kay's second shot took effect in Floyd's right side and a third shot from Kay's pistol. which would would doubtless have proven fatal, was prevented by the seizure of Kay's hand and pistol by others present. Kay was not hit. Floyd's secon~d shot penetrated the right arm of Mr. T. W. Davis, who was standing p)robably twenty feet off, causing a painful wound and a slight fracture. Thus the shooting occurred, the impression on all present being that Floyd was prob ably fatally wounded. He was taken to a room and afterwards on a. litter to the Exchange Hotel, where his wound ~was treated by Dr. T1. T. Farle. The ball, which was from a 36-calibre Smith & Wesson revolver. penetrated the right side of the abdomen, being a slanting shot, and camne out aboutI eight inches from the place it en tered. Its range was probably not deep enough into the body to pen etrate the p)eritoneum. Although its course cannot be precisely ascertain ed no serious results are anticipated. Mr. Kay, believing he had killed his antagonist. surrendered at once to Sneriff Gilreath. He was held but a short time, however, and was released as soon as it was known that Flord's wound was not con sidered fatal. The affair created intense excitement, which has con tinued most of the day. Public sentiment and sympathy are en tirely with Kay and his family. A. M. H. At last accounts Mr. Floyd was doing well. Two indictments have been lodg ed against John W. Garrett. fore man of the Grand Jury of this county, for retailing lager beer with out license, lie set up a saloon at his spring on Lawson's Fork. and claims that lhe or any other man has a right to sell this beverage, and that the State and county laws and officers cannot restrain him. At least. we understand that is the ground he takes. That matter will. no doubt. be tested at the next term of our court. He has employ ed W. Magill Flemming to defend him in the preliminary hearing of these cases. A case recently came upl in Berkeley county, we believe. before Judge Wallace, in which it was claimed to be unconstitutional to prhii people in the counties from securing license to sell ardent spirits, but Jhidge Wallace prompt ly. and wisely decided against the whiskey seller. For many. reasons we regret that Mr. G arrett has taken thi ep ..'aiina nrto.. EXTRA-JUDICIAL. It is a matter of deep regret that any one should -ever feel called up on to avenge a wrong or wipe out an insult by taking the law into his own hands; but there is an extreme case in which society will pardon the man who appeals to the quick bullet rather than to the slow machin er of the coi:s. The man who, with honey in his lips and :1 hell of lust in his heart, deliberately wins the confidence of a trustinfoiman, that he may despoil her of her virtue, and steal away "the iminedi ate jewel of her soul." is an enemy to society, and society should be speedily rid of his presence. Ile at once violates the sacred rights of hospitality and tramples upon all law. social civil. and moral; and the first and last resort of the kinsmen of the wronged woman should be to powder and ball. The castle in which female chastity dwells is sacred ; and no punislhmnt is too sure. swift or severe for the mis creant who darcs to invade it. We rise to ask what is the "palla dium of liberty." The scloohnan confidently tells us, -Education is the palladium of liberty." But while his words are fresh in our mind, we hear the deep. sonorous tones of tire jurist. -Trial by Jury is the palladium of liberty." Ie has hardly taken his seat. when the politician vociferates, "Fellow-citi zens: The ballot-box is the great palladium of liberty." We natural ly feel surprised, but before we have time to analyze the quality of our surprise, the military convention in Columbia puts the matter at rest by deciding. thit "A well organized militia is the palladiium of liberty." So the question has been decided just positively enough to leave us and Liberty-in doubt as to wheth er she has any palladium. at all. On the 13th, James Nutt, of Uniontown, Pa., killed N. L. Dukes, his father's murderer. lie shot five times. all the balls taking effect. Dukes died instantly. The revolver that did the work is the same that Capt. Nutt cirried on the morning of his death. Young Nutt at once gave himself up and went to jail. The coroners jury found a merely formal verdict that Dukes came to his death by shoot ing at the hands of James Nutt. Popular feeling runs high in favor of Nutt. Dukes was a' frequent visitor at the house of Capt. Nutt where he was received as a friend, and treated with the utmost hospitality. For some reason he wrote letters to the captain, disgracing his daugh ter, and when the captain went to Dukess room at the hotel, to de mann a retraction, Dukes shot him down. Trhe Military convention that met in C'olmnbia last week will "de. mand that the Volunteer Troops shall be properly maintained by the State for the security of life and property, for the peace and good order of society and for the future welfare of South Carolina." The convention decided that the present system is inadequate to the proper maintenance of a military organization, and they will memori alize the legislature to require those of age to perform service either to perform military duty or pay a com mutation, and otherwise a mend the law so. as to support the mil itary organizations. The legislature will refuse to grant the memorial of the Military, Convention, compelling every citi zen between the ages of eighteen and forty-five to do military service or pay a commutation. Yes, sir; you see, most of the legislators fall be tween those limits. andl. while they may delight in being "conscript fa thers," we fancy that they would not so much enjoy being conscript soldiers. For ourselves, we dis tinictly object to compulsory milita ry service in this State-especially in this town, during the summer. Greenville's effort to change the proposed route of the Carolina. Cumberland Gap and Chicago Rail road has stirred up red-hot opposi tion in Pickens. and elsewhere. Greenville is a thorough-going city,' and when she touches any new enterp)rise she means business -this Pickens evidlently under stands. F>ut why wranglie over the matter ? Let those who are able to pay for the road, get its benefits. It can be made long enough and crooked enoughm to touch both Grenville and Pickens. The government will proeed( to a third trial of' the Star-route thieves. The government will ac complish nothing in the way of con victing the thieves, but it can easily spend as much money as they stole -and Uncle Sam's pocket-book is altogether too plet.horic. The Florence Time.s has been en larged. and is now the largest paper ever p)ublished in D)arlington Coun ty. Editor Prince has done a good work for his town and county. and we are pleased to see this evidence of his prosperity.
