THOMPSON, Stato 8uporlntend out of Education In 8outh Carolina, will deliver tho anniversary oration of Adger College on the occasion of the next commencement-the 21st of June next. Thia certainly Is putting the right man in the right place. We say this not because- of tbe position held by Col. T., which brings him faoe to faco with (he subject of edu action in all ita bearings in our State. He is a tuan, not only of enlarged and liberal views, but bois thoroughly acquainted with the praolloal working of the most approved sohomeB of eduoa tlon and is deeply imbued with the spirit of edu cational progress and improvement. Uenoo it ls, that the speeoh of snob a man on suoh an occasion, is regarded as something most filling in the nature of things. He will doubtless contrib ute much (o tho interest and tho pleaeuro of the next oommenoement. By the way, the program me ot the next oommenoement week provides a feast of fat tilinga.--It is as follows ; Sunday the 18th of June, Com. Sermon,-Rev W. M. Grier, D. D. Monday evening, 8 o'olook, Alum ni oration by Jas. P. Carey. Tuesday ll o'olook, address before the Peidmont and Carolina Lit erary Societies by Col. Thoa. W. Woodward.

Thursday evening 8 o'clock, reading original essays by members of tho Sen ior class, and Ibo conferring of degrees. Tho above premises a rioh literary treal. Cold Weather-Hail, Snow. Dispatcbos from tho Northwest give in? formation of freezing weather on tho 11th and 12th instants. Tho effect cannot yet bo determined as tho cold spoil has not broken. Tho ground froze at Cincinnati on tho night Ot the II th. Tho fruit growers in tho sub urbs report that strawberries aro killed, peaches moro or less injured, whilo cherries, grapes and applos are not hurt. Io Marietta ico formed an inoh think, whilo in Findley, Ohio it waa Mill colder. The thermometer at various points was reported at 24 degrees and wheat where much advanced bas boon injured. In Dallas, Texas, a terrific hail storm oo* curred on tho 11th, accompanied by a heavy storm of wind. Tho stones ranged from the vi zo of walnuts to baseballs, and many wore picked up which measured ten inches in circumference. Teams ran' away in thc streets and many persons were knocked down and seriously injured. The damage to property it is enid, will aggregate thousands of dollars. The course of tho storm was from Northwest to Southeast, and great dam ago was dono to tho fruit orop. From Iowa and Michigan como reports of enow, and ?oe three quarters of an inch thick was found at some places ia Dolawaro. Tho same ia truo of Kentucky, tho thor' momoter falling as low as 2b* dogroos at Louisville. It is foared wheat ie injured. A A Bovore wind storm pasBcd ovor Ju net ion Oily, Kansas, unrooting houses and destroy ing a large amount of property in its traok. At Indianapolis, Indiana, tho moroury foll lo 24 degrees and much of tho fruit ie re ported killed. Snow fell on the ?ame day at Wheeling, Va., and readied tho depth of two inches nt Lincoln, Nebraska. Tho 11th was oortainly a day of goncrul disaster. Damaged Corn. ?t ia generally known and admitted that Somborn corn is worth more than Western and Northern oom and generally commands a bottor price in tho market, but it is not known that muoh of tho Western corn this year is damaged1. We suppose the samo kind of oom is sold boro as in Atlanta, and upon tho subject of damaged oom the At lanta Constitution has tho following: DAMAGED CORN. ..Why don't the nowspopers lot the far mers know that A great doal of damaged corn is being- sent into Georgia from the West?" said a merchant yesterday, banding a handful of tho damaged coreal to a representative of the Constitution: "Simply because, they don't Know it to be a foot," was replied. ..Well, it ia true," said tho morohnnt. .'! don't caro to havo my namo published as giv ing tbe information, but if you will investi gate the mattor you will find that fully one fourth of tho corn coming in from tho West is damaged, moro or loss. Look at this corn Yon soe tho kernel is bluok; that oom will kill or seriously injuro any kind of stook, except hogs, that it ?B fed to regularly." "Well, the farmore wont buy it." "Thore you aro mistaken. Some of thc farmers in our Stato aro buying this ven kind of oom to day and aro giving mort gages on their orop to pay for it in Novcmbet at.tho rate of one dollar and fifty cents per bushel. A man who will sell corn at suoh e heavy per cent, will buy tho ohonpcBt oom he caa get, beoauso no ono but a man ia a desperate strait will give such a ruinous rale and they pile it on him. There scorns to be a disposition on (he part of many of our fur? mers to pay any kind of a prioo for anything on a credit. I heard a man tell about some clock peddlers who made nineteen thousand dollars in one year soiling olooks to farmers In this State on time. Thoy went through tbe country in wagons selling clo. ks at from twenty to thirty dollars apieoo, payable in tho fall. The olooks cost thom about five dollars apiece, by wholesalo. They would .ell ft man ft clock for twenty fire dollars, re quirt btu to pay fife dollars oath and give liiui till fall oo tho balunao. Io tho fall be would call, and if heoould get nothing, olso he would take hie olook. Nine times out of ten he would get another installment and not havo to take the' olook, but two mon made nloeteon thousand dollars io one year by this kind of trading. Tho Despised Cent* The Sotbern people havo been brought up tooare very little for small things. Thoy ro gard it pioayunieh to require oxaot ohango, a rew couts not being worth notioiog. They forget that ali of lile is made up of little things and tbat tho samo is true of the ma* torial world. It ie an old saying too that cents make dimes and dimes make dollars. We remember omeo in orossing the Ohio River from Cincinnati to Covington in a steamer the fare was either one or two cents. The cent enters largely into business tran sactions in the North and tho habit of look ing to littlo things enters into every avoca tion o? lifo and is largely tho oausonf Yankeo prosperity. Our people would hardly pick up a cent piece or tako it in obange if offered. This habit of disregarding little things on tbo farm lend? often to great loss aud oxpetiRO. On the subjeot of tho dospised oent the At lanta Constitution has tho following views of a man who is in bosniens in that eily. 'Pennies taken!" was a conspicuous sign in front of Burke's second hand book store on Whitehall street yesterday. "YOB, I tako pennies," was what tho proprietor said to a Constitution reportor. "Aro many tendered." "I tako in from n hundred and fifty to two hundred a day." "Does it pay yon?" "I pay my gas bill bills in that way." "What induced you to commence taking pennies. "I was trained to that when I was growing up in business. I was always taught that a cont was money, and that the way to con duct business was to take tho smallest as woll as tho largest coins. I was surprised when I came South and found auoh an uttor dislike for pennies, They aro absolutely necessary in businoss. I was with a business bouso in New York a few yearn ago that lind a busi noss of two millions a year. One yoar tho books lacked four cents of balancing. That atore was actually closed, and staved closed until that difference was accounted for. Now, supposa I go to the bank with a check for a certain amount in which there is an ndd cent or two moro or less than tho check call* for, how can my books bo balanoed. That is one argument in favor of tho oent. lloro is another. Ordinary soap can bo sold at four oonts a bar, and a profit of a hundred por cont will still bo made. Suppoeo pennies wero in general use and a washerwoman oould save a cont on ovcry bar of soap, it would amount to several dollars in a year enough to buy a cord of wood or a ton of coal. Tho purchaser always has to pay tho odd cents when thc pennies uro not in ose, and it counts up. A man who don't caro for a cent wo- t squabble over a quarter for very long at a time and thus ho is not thrifty." "Do you sell things at tho odd prices?" "Yos, I sell things at eight cents and twenty four cents. In other words 1 mako tho money fit the prices and not tho prico fit the money, otherwise I would rob tho man who patronized me. Thoa thoro is tho ques tion of a oar fare, a man has to pny five cents no matter whore he goos. In Baltimore they support Druid Hill park with pennies. The cars to the park cost six cents. The park gots tho odd cent and it pays the expenses of keeping it up. I think it would be a good idea for Atlanta to try a soborna of that sort." "Thon you liko tho ponnies?" "Yes. I would not quit them under any circumstance." The Greenville Incendiaries) Four in number, have boon sentenced to bo bung on Friday tho 28th instant. Thoy have been twice tried and twico convicted. After the second conviction an appeal was again taken to tho supromo court,, chiefly on the ground that tho presiding judge omitted to charge tho jury that a recommendation to moroy by thom would limit tho sontenco to imprisonment for lifo in tho penitentiary. This appeal was dismissed, and tho prisoners were sentenced at the recent torm of court nt Greenville to bo executed on tho day day natnod. Strong efforts aro boing made to havo tho sentence of Dodson commuted to imprisonment for life, bocuuso his confession was largely instrumental in convicting tho others and it is likely to succeed as tho Mayor and a number of tho host citizons of Greenville, including tho sufferers by the fire, bavo signed a recommendation fo that effect. Ho is kept separate from tho other three prisoners, who entertain hostilo feelings to wards him, because of his oonfoision. Ef forts are boing also mudo to havo the son? tonce of Batos commuted, but they are not likely to succeed. Arson is certainly a high crime, and in cities, imperils both lives and prop i orty to nu ?inmenso extent, but whether it should bo punished with death, when no lifo has been lost is a question. We have always advocated capital punishment, and found no fault with our law wbon it punished a num ber of crimes with death. Kineo, however, it has boon changed, wo hardly think tho death ) ponaly should be imposed except in oasos of r rapo and murder. If a man should steal or tako by burglary or robbery a million of dol lars ho could only bo imprisoned fur life, but if arnon burns a dwelling house of the val , uo of ono hundrod dollars, shall ho bo hung? , The property in tho ono onso is absolutely do i stroyed and life is imperiled, and this may , mako a difference. The oily of Greenville i has been torribly scourged by incendiary firo.? i and these- aro strong reasons to meto out the . death penalty to eomo one, but it should bc i raroly resorted to in euoh eases. There is now but ono orimo, wilful murder, punished i with death in South Carolina. Arson and rape are punished with death, unions tho jury accompany their finding with a recom mendation to moray. This is tho ouly in? stance in South Carolina, in which tho jar? have any control over tho sontenco, though in ?orno Statos thoy find both tho vordiot and punishment. Theta four negro?? were con viotod on oirouuifitnntiftl evidenoe nod are doubt leia guilty. Their execution may brtve a Vfholeaome effoot on others, and thoreby ?ave lives and property in the fut oro, though we are not certain hot tho. ends of tho law would be subserved by their imprisonment for life. The great arm of punishment is to deter others, by way of eiample from the commission of like crimes, or to pat it be? youd the power of tho criminal to again com mit that or a similar orlme. or to act by way nf reformation of the ofibndor. Tho quot? tion in tho case of these incendiaries is largely of a looa! character. The people know beet what will best promote tho sonority and good order of their city, and being an intelligent and Christian people, wo can safely trust their judgment. Still tho ques tion of punishment of different orimos is ono of geuerul interest and may well be open for future discussion and dcoieion. Ia this light only we allude to tho ouse at Groonville as four lives nro about to bo sacrificed to the law, and for a orimo which took no life. Town and Country improve ments -The Grasses &o Notwithstanding the short crop of 1881 and thc present high prloo of provisions, there ore evidences on all bands of thc presence of eoroo surplus capital in tho spirit of improvement manifested in our towns and iu the country. Wo hear that a number of buildings aro going up or projected in Seneoaond Westminster, and business is active in those towna. In Walhalla, we aro euro moro buildings have been put up, or nro lu progrees of erection, or under projection this yeor than for a number of past years. In tito past few months Mr. W. J. Stribling bas completed bis now bouso and ouUbuildinga and moved into it. Tho Method ist church has just been finished and dodiaaled. Tho largo building ot Ibo Misses Ansel is ap proaching oompletion. Mr. VanDiviro lins has built a Harness shop and has now in pro cess of erection a commodious Btore room on Main street facing his old stund, and is also getting lumber to build a small bouso on a four aero vacant lot on South Broad street. Mr. Beimnuu is daily getting his lumber to make a lnrgo addition lo bis hotel. Mr. Seeba ia also golfing lumber to build a More-room on Main street. Mr. Brcunccke and Mr. Von Hodolhavo each put up small eolages on rear lota to rent. A gentleman from Miohigau bas bought a lol and expects to improve it soon. Other minor improvements havo baen and are being rondo, giving employment to a number of mechanics, and it seems Mr. Kaufman and Mr. Brennecko Master mechanics havo had and aro likely to have their hands full for some lime. Among tho handsome residences being erect ed, we omitted to mention the two story dwel ling being built on North Broad .trcct by Mr. L. D. Brcnneoko, of tho firm of H. Bicmann, Son &Co. One great want ia our town is a largo lot of brick. Mr. Kaufman has becu compelled to ship brick from Anderson lo meet his contracts. Is not this str?nge, especially, when w? have good clay and plenty of timber in eaBy reach of Walhalla ? We boliovo briok hero can be made and burned at four to five dollars per thousand, and wo are satisfied a large number could bc sold according to quality at six to eight dollars. Wo have paid, and others also, len dollars per thousand for hard brick. Wo hopo some of our citizens will go into tho busiucos Ibis summer and make a large supply. Tho great mistako in brick making is, that people postpon? it uulil crops arc laid by, inbtead of utilizing thc usual ly bot, dry mouths of Juno and July in mould ing nnd drying. By wailing till August they get bauds a little cheaper but it is generally n month subject to ruins and freshets, mor?is lost than gained in wages. Wc believe a good briok yard would pay well at this time. In various purls of (be country loo, new framed churches anti dwelling houses aro being erected, and if not growing richer our people uro certainly pre paring to make themselves moro comfortable at home and are displaying unusual liberality in thc cause of education morality and religion. $Ut perhaps, tho most striking feature of the present is tho improvement in Agriculture, both iu Ibo implements uud n.ode of farming nnd in tho growing disposition lo diversify the crops. The one two and three horse plow, tho Biilkey plow, thc barrow and other improved implements arc being introduced and thc soil by their uso is pulverized and made porous and yields more generously. Tho largo crop of oats planted is also a favorable sign of prosperity, and though mostly they aro necessarily planted late, yet with good seasons n largo yield is promised. Wheat also looks unusually well, and patches of barley show Ibo tenduncy of our pcoplo lo grow more self supporting in tho futuro. We all can seo good too in (ho largo amount of grass seed sold in Walhalla, nnd we presumo also in Seneca and Westminster-It is useless lo say we oan not raise clover Herd grass and Orchard grass hero. The land may bo required to be made rioh, bat to grow well anything requires rioh land, and think of Hie ?inmenso yield of an aero in red olovor, which may bo cut twice a year ! But perhaps tho gross for green or dry fecdiug for this country is Lucerne. It is perennial, and onco well set it only needs a little manure every spring and fall. As a green feed it may bo out every three or four weeks, and a small patch would thus koop a oow through tho sum mer. When well oet, it is said tho roots in a few yours will penetrate in porous soil fifteen or twenty foot, thus resisting tho severest drouth. Of this valuable forage plant tho Atlanta (Ca.) Cultivator says that "five tons of hay have been so often taken from an acre of lucerne (lint the fad no longer excites remark. It is not, how ever, as generally known that, with perhaps thc solitary exception of tho cow poa, lucerne Hinken tho roost valuable dried forago that wo oan raise South. Wo havo beon informed by a friend who has tested tho matter that work stook fed on lucerno can do good sorvioc with but a Bingle feed a day additional of oom or oats. A single aore of lucerne, properly sot, will amply main tain five head of horses,or mules a whole year At a cost of 560 for preparation, nnd a yiold o five tons at $30 per lon, it would seem that wi might venturo on Ibo experiment of trying i lllllo luocone on ovcry farm in Georgia.

No Whiskey/ BROWN'S IRON BITTERS is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not com posed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemper ance by promoting a desire for rum. BROWN'S IRON BITTERS is guaranteed to be a non intoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time abso lutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxi cating beverages.
