Charleston has bad a terrible cv clone, but through the instrumen taliftf of herinherent life and busi ness energy, she is fast gaining a victory ove1 the ruins. Butler Jones, colored, an Abbeville County murderer, for whom the Gov enor had offered $150 reward, was captured by Mr. Sam Sitton of An derson'County on the 23t1 ult. The last hoard from the member who introduced the bachelor tax-hill in the Georgia Legislature, he was undecided between an apology and a light with an editor. It is supposed that th editor is a victim of the bach q,lor tax. Theie has been a large force of hands at work on the new road lead ing from Pickens to Pumpkin town. It j4 said that the new route avoids all the steep hills between the two points. When the road is completed Punpkintown property will be at a jremiium. The President thinks that office seuking is a disease, and that on the subjict of office the office hunter is radly erazy. Everybody will not subscribe to this view, unless with the disease goes the delusion of the office seeker that he will get the of ic. Under this Administration the claimant of an office who thinks he will get it is undoubtedly crazy. The New York World says "a Georgia man was caught in a fence and hung fonr days with his head down nnd his heels up before he was discovered. It is believed he will dlie, as no Georgia man has ever lived more than three (days without a (drink of whiskey. The limit in Kentucky is'two days."

Nearly every m'afl brings a- start lngst,ory of reckless and daring ru1ffinnismn. Recently Cane Creek Church in Western North Carolina was holding ii. thanksgiving service at night, when it was . raided by a band of robbers who pilundered and murdered the participants, without stinf, broke up the meeting and fled, carrying off several valuable horses wIich wore hitched on the campus. *On the night of the 22d uilt. there am nther killing in Lanoaster.

In opening now roads j,vrvisor has power to call the overseers aid their squads to any part of the township. This is the inference drawn from the Acts of 1883. Only twelve days work can be required, and a hand is excused, if he can show by certificate, that he has done this in any part of the State. A married man's residence is where his family resides, an unmarried man's residence is where lie boards. Road hands must be assigned as far as practicable to the nearest road. The warner should give personal notice to each hand. Stick to Your Bush. Several Ooys went into a chincapin thicket to gather chincapins, and the most of them kept running from one bush to another, to find the place where they grew in the greatest abun dance, and were the easiest gathered. When the hunt was over it was found that the boy, who had stuck to one bush until lie had picked all he could find thereon, had twice as many chincapins as any of the rest. He explained his success by saying that he had used all his time picking chincapins.

Work on the Asheville and bjyanrau burg 1tailroad is progressing fairly well, considoerinig the fact that only about two hundred and fifty hands are employed on this enterprise. Th'le work of laying the iron has been begun at Swannanoa Junoe tion. It is thought that the road may be completed by the middle of Novemiber. Free Tuition. A con ference of the representatives of the deniominational clolleges of this State who were selecd by the trustees of those institutions was held at the residenice of C~ol. .Jamies A. Hoyit, editor of the Basp tist Courier, on Thursday night. The followving gentlemen were present: For Erskine College, P~rof. Heed and Representative R. R. Hfemphill, editor of the Abbeville Medium. Wofford College, D)r. W. W. Duncan md Representative WV. K. Blake. Newberry College, Senator J. A. Shigh mud Prof. U. W. Welsh (deputy for Dr. Cl. W. Holland.) Furman University, Col. J. A. Hoyrt, iditor of the Baptist Courier, and Major El. B. Murray, of the Anderson Intelli ge r conference was in session about three hours, and discussed the State Col ege thoroughly. The sentiment of the nembers was finally given shape in the rollowig which was drawn up and unan mously adopted: "The members of this conference re presenting tile several denominational 3o1lrges of South Carolina, hereby de alare that we have no opposition to the ixistence and maintenance of the South Oarolina University, and would favor any spopriate action of the Board of rutesto make it a University of the " e,That we are unalterably op.osed to the existing feature of free tuition which prevails in the South Car olina College, bcuse we believe that it is wrong in principle and injurious in eolo to use tho ting power of the S~to afford collegiate euoation with out charge to those who are able topa therefor, by which the olEeis brought into untir eomp ttion wihthe other ~Ugsof the 8a on a.bsiSother than th ltve nlherits of expellence. " ed, That we favo, the change niv.syht so tht on ul~~ for toItion thereitm p)bal lBo . nrra: An enthusiastic odn_ c1tional meeting on the prospective sito of the Walker McElmoyle Cv&lege, was helid to, day, Wednesday, the 26th nit. It was agreed some weeks ago by the Trustees to take the ini tiative steps towards establishing an institution on the grounds donated by the late Mrs. Eleanor Walker for that.purpose, by fixing a day for a basket dinner, and inviting the friends of education to come together on the contemplated college site near the Double Branches, and listen to speeches favoring the enterprise, in augurated by the bequest of above mentioned noble hearted, christain lady. Accordingly, the 26th of August was the day fixed for the meeting. Notwithstanding the busy time in the way of gathering and saving fodder, a large crowd of all the best people in the community, ladios and gentlemen assembled on the ground at an early hour, where a speaker's stand had been erected, and seats arranged for the audience. The number in attendance of the best people in the country, was itself an earnest of success to the cause which had brought them together. Speech es were made before dinner by Mesyrs. Russell, McLees, Ansel, Lake and Taylor. About one hour and a half was spent in partaking of the most boun tiful and elegant basket dinner, fur nished by the ladies in the communi ty, and in conversation. After dinner speeches were made by Messrs. Mur ray of Anderson and Riley of Pickons. The speeches of the occasion all ten ded to one practical point, the impor tance of action on the part of the cit izens of the neighborhood, in the way mmo 1.1,18 ('ounlty inl the year 870, at what is now the town of Ruos sell, the county seat of Russell O<mn- a ty, a nicely located town of about tweN'-e hundred inhabitants on the a iKansas Patcific, Railro.ad, which pass- I es through the county from East to West. The county at that time was t thought to b)e worthless for anything I 'but to graze stock on, but the last few years go to prove that it is des tined to be a fine farming country also. The corn crop this year is] given in at from 40 to 60 bushels per< acre, but the wheat crop was light some fields not worth harvesting. Last year was tihe big wheat crop, fields, I'm told, averaged 40 and 50 buslhels9 per acre. Laud is worth from $2.50 to $7. per acre for unimproved, to from $5 to $25 for improved. Water is plenty except on the high table lands be tween the rivers, and is very good, even to a person, coming as I did from the sparkling mountain waters of OCn'olina. The scarcity of .timber is apt to strike a person -coming from a tim bered country unfavorably. The only timber is a belt along the streams from a few rods to a mile in width; 1 but the longer I stay here the less I consider it a disadvantage. Coal can be had for fuel for from $4 to $10 per ton; lumber at the lumber yard from $2 to $8 per hundred feet, and in rnoet sections there is a soft lime stone that makes very nice and cheap building material. T1he mode of farming is quite dif ferent from what it is back there. It is mostly done with machinery, and consequently th'ro is not near the t labor el-ut farming that there is in Sou6 Cohna ad you bet, that ' ont abundant thingt ~,'which at etis. date is the prairie, and tock dont aat something to eat, and will not ti winter, if their owners cut aid sta plenty of this grass. And the Boa est blessing is girls, which are nea1 as scarce as hen's teeth, and wb there is here, are not so charming those of Carolina. Mr. Editor, in conclusion, I w say, if you or any of your read< would like to have a rich time foi few (ays, just bring your shot g and dogs and come over.

EDIToR: The Pickens Coun Teachers' Association met on Sati day, 29th August in the Hall of t Easley Academy. kr. Laban Ma din, County School CommisRion and President, delivered his inaup ral address, selecting as his subje the necessity of increasing the amou of money to continue the free scho< longer. The address was well i ceived by the teachers and such the citizens of Easley and communi as were present. The committee constitution, &c., read their repo which with a few changes, was a opted. The name was changed fr Pickens County Teachers' Associati to Pickens County Teachers, Ins tute. Various educational questions we discussed with spirit, showing tli the efforts of the teachers were i only appreciated but were beginnii to do the work intended. An Executive Committee of thr was then appointed to select tir and place for next meeting.
