The Governor'# farewell. At noon to-day Governor Thompson relinquished to his constitutional successor, Llcut.(Jovcrnor Shcppard, the high oflioe whioh for nearly four years lie has held with honor to himself and the State. The csremouy was very brief and simple, but it was aa imposing m if it had been interwoven with pomp and display. All the doors and windows of the room were open, aud a light breeze flickered through it, moderating the lient. There were assembled informally, to witness the ceremony, Col. Coward, Superintendent ot Education, Railroad Commissioner Boiitiam, Attorney-General Miles, Comptroller-General Sloney, Mayor Rhett, Col. Lipscomb, Superintendent of the Penitentiary, State Treasurer Richardson, State Chemist Chazal, Colonel Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, Secretary of State Lipscomb, President MoBryde, of tho South Carolina College, Cel. A. C. Haskell, Gen. Rudolph Siegling, Assistant Attorney-General ISacltm.au, Col. It. L?. Goodwyn, Col. F. fV. McMaster and other friends of Gov. Thompson and of his successor. By request of tho Governor the clerks of the Stale departments had also assembled to see him out of office. Governor Thompson, Lieutenant-Governor Slteppard and Chief Justice Simpson were in the roombefore the assembling of the party. Messrs. Thompson aud Sheppard chatted with their friends until the city bell struck twelve. At this signal they walked to tho north end of the chamber and took positions by the Governor's desk, lacing the spectators who were arranged around the room. Chief Justice Simpson stood near tlicui. Turning to Mr. ShepparJ, the re uring ituveruor b;uu . ' uuitiuur ouvpparu : i have tlic honor tcrhaml you this communication, informing you that I have this day filed with tlio Secretary of the State my resignation of the office of Governor of South Carolina." Governor Sheppard received the letter, which was enclosed iu nu official envelope, and, without reading it, bowed to his predecessor. Then turning to Chief Justice Simpson, who stood at his left side, ho said : " If your Honor please 1 am now ready to take the oath of office." The oath was administered according to the usual form, the affirmation being taken on a small Bible. As soon as this had been done ex-Goveruor Thompson warmly shook the hand of his suo-cessor and wished him a successful administration. Chief Justice Simpsou was the next to oiler congr itulations, and iu a few moments the new Governor was receiving the hearty good wishes of the officers and friends present. As ex-Governor Tbouipsou proposes to leave tomorrow for Washington niuuy of those present took the occasion of bidding him good bye and expressing their best wishes for his success in Washiugton. After halt au hour thus informally spent, the spectators dispersed and ex-Governor Thompson returned to his residence. The following nrc the official papers connected with the transfer of the office. The resignation of Governor Thompson was tiled with the Secretary of State nt a quarter to 12 o'clock to-day: Tilt: RESIGNATION. Statu of Soith Carolina,*) i:xi:<VTIVK ClIAMIIKK, r Columbia, s.

Earl/ on the morning of July 5th, one could see members of the Dose liall Nine collecting themselves together before the hotel to leave for s Spartanburg. Owing to washouts on the rail- j roail they had to be conveyed to Spartanburg in c private vehiclos in order to make connection t with the Augusta train for Laurens. b Arriving at Spartanburg they were mot and b received by the Union Combination Minstrels c who had proceeded them by a few hours. After s getting their appetites as well satisfied nt the o Merchants' Hotel as the time of day would per- ( mit, they "quietly picked up," and. the 4 o'clock eveniug train whistled away with the ( precious load and deposited them in tho bosom ^ of old Laurens, the pride of the Piedmont. c They were cordially and socially met at the t depot and most generously given every accommodation and nttentiou that the city could afford ; and right here I may add that throughout the entire week every courtesy that the most fastidious could expect was tendered tliern. All Laurens seemed bent on giving thcin pleasure of nil kinds, and there was never a set of boys that knew better how to appreciate and enj oy it than thoso who went from Union. Monday night the Union Combination Minstrels showed to n crowded house, although the very heavens seemed filled with rain. Those who saw the performance and heard, between the short intervals of successive showers, expressed themselves highly pleased and well satisfied. Ten o'clock Tuesday morning tho Grand Base Ball Tournament opened with Troy to the bat Union in the field. At the ending of the tub inning the game stood 9 to 3 in favor of Troy. Tho game was beautiful aud exoiting and showed a high order of amateur playing, there being six white-washes to Troy's credit and five to j ITninn'rt If wna n lvnlila Kdlnrnnn !?? ^Unlinro Tuesday evening Laurens and Greenville crossed ] bats ; Laurens proved victorious by a score of j 13 to 111. Tuesday night there was a magnificent hot i suppor tendered the base ball players, free ( gratis. It makes the writer's mouth water and his heart to fluctuate to think of what rnngnificcnt housekeepers there must be raised in Laurens every year. The suppor was most | delightful and palatable, aud was enjoyed immensely. Wcduesday morning Troy and Antioch (Woodruff) met upon the field. Troy was vie- i torious by a score of 14 to 7. Wednesday evening the "diamond '' was occupied by Laurens and Union incn. lly an unfortunate oversight of the umpire victory was was won by Laurens by a score of 7 to 0. This was the most exciting and best played game during the tournament. Victory seemed to oscillate and* was slow in deciding the fate of either side. The sides were bo well matched that when a score was made on either excitement in the grand stand seemed at fever heat. Laurens did not take the bat at the last inning, being one uhead. Wednesday night was the night of the ball. Shall it ever be forgotten? There it was we saw fairy-like forms skipping and gliding around in the whirligig of pleasure, keeping time to the sweet music of Antioch's band. There it was that handsome men grew modest and faint when facing an army of a thousand Cupids. We wish we had the time to tell .you l^ow they beautiful 1'icdmontese belle would lend her cars tolisten to the praises of her "new fellow," but we have not. Thursday morning Antioch played Greenville a very uninteresting game with a score of -0 to 2'J. Thursday evening the game of the week was played between Laurens and Troy for the championship of the l'iedmout section, llotn clubs being victorious in two well-contested games apiece, "of course, you know," the excitement ran high. Troy won the championship by a score of 8 to tf in tho eighth inning, (lie game being called on account of Uciliyht. Tnursday night saw us in the Opera House witnessing a beautiful little drama by Laurens amateurs. The acting was good and highly appreciated. Aftor the drama .Mr. llenj. F. Iiallue whistled his imitation of the mockiug bird and picked his accompaniment ou the guitar. To say the least of it, it was a most remarkable feat, being new, novel, original and beautiful. In our humble opinion he bent any mocking bird that we ever heard in this section of the country. * The "tin cup" game \>as plqyed betweep Union and Greenville on Friday morning, Utcenville forfeited the game in the ninth inn* ing, giving Union a score of it to 0. The whole week passed otf most beautifully and pleasantly. There was some kicking and squealing on some decisions of the umpires. Tlicy are recognized mon of ability and honesty, and conscientious to a fault. It is hard to please both sides always, and especially in a base ball game, and kuowing all this we appreciate their positions uud bow to their decisions with respectful grace. We tako this opportunity of flicking the base ball association of Lauren?, and the citizens for all their kindness, which is certainly appreciated and hope to repay them as nearly as possible on some future occasion.

Editorial Correspondence. | Chaklottr, N. C., July 12, 188t>. This is, without doubt, ono of the moat olilly progressive inland cities iu the South, lotwitbslanding the depression pervading I very line of business in all parts of (ho counry at this time, Charlotte presents.a bustling, Disy and prosperous appearance. Business is lUeiness here, at all times and in all vooations onducted upon strict business principles, conequently the increasing businoss and wealth f Charlotte arc upon solid and lasting foundaions. Upon every hand the spirit of progress, cuerpriso and prosperity is very apparent. Vithin the past two years a number of large, legant and commodious business houses have teen erected, not only on the prominent busiiess streets, but on minor streets leading from hem, which is one of the strongest and surest ividcnccs of the expanding business of the iity. Whenever we see the business of a city leckiog room beyond the old business thortughfarcs, pulling down private residences and irecting in their places fine business houses, Iriving, as it were thcr private dwellings far. her into the suburbs, thereby expauding the sily by its business pressuro, we may safely pronounce that city to be in a healthy, progreslive and prosperous condition, containing within its own limits those never failing elements, io inviting to capital and encouraging to enter, prise?push, pluck, liberality and intelligence. Charlotte has these elements in activo perfection and although sho sufferers from an unjust and iniquitous railroad discrimination imposed upon her by the It. &. D. R. It. syndicate, similar to what Union groaned under a few years ago, she cannot long be kept from occupying an equal positiou with the most flourishing and attractive cities in the country. Seven railroads now centre at Charlotto, and her citizens, of all classes, arc bccomiDg deeply interested in the road from Augusta, via Union and York. When the time comes for Charlotte to put her shoulder to the wheel for that great competing outlet, she will be found ready and willing; strong in her influence and most liberal with licr means. As indications of the enterprise, the progressive spirit, the attractions, and Conveniences of Charlotte, we may mention the beautiful Electric Light the Council has just substituted for gas, in lighting the streets; the convenient and pieasant gas for stores and residences, the wntor-works conducting water to every house, besides giving protection to property in case of tiro ; while the oily Council lias inaugurated a system of sewerage that inust add to the general health and comfort of the citizens.

If the citizens take a notion that it would contribute to the general good of the city, you may safely bet that it will be done, and that right soon. There are several large wholesale business houses here. They all & heavy business and, we aro informed, aro gettiog rioh. Wo are nlso told, by parties not connected, but who know that goods can be purchased here so near New York prices that country merchants can save the excuses of tiyivcl by purchasinghaae. Of that, of course, we do uot speak with certainty, but we believe it is worth a trial. Feme of the firms import goods direct from European Factories. The retail stores carry very heavy stocks, as the trado here demands. Some of the dry goods stores have heavier stocks than all the stores in Union combined. The wholesale und retail drug liouso of W. M. Wilson & Co. is the largest and tinost between Charleston and Baltimore, and is doiug a heavy business. Tljcre app f,wo large foundries autj machine shops, a cotton factory, a furniture factory, a steam clothing factory, and many other smaller industries, and they arc all flourishing. As far as 1 cuu boo, the on)y business oycrdone here is tho newspaper business. There are twty daily papers and a weekly published here, ami it docs sccui that if all these are ovtm making a living, ouo good, live, ably conducted daily would do much better. The cottou business is heavy. Much of it is to - fill orders which always creates compctilion among the buyers, to the advantage flf the Farmers. Charlotte is surrounded with the finest farming lands iu the State, and the farmers arc thrifty and prosperous generally. Until the introduction of chemical fertilisers, the cereals, grass and stock, were then chief productions, but now cotton is becoming the all-absorbing :rop, uud, as one gentleman told me, the profits >f farming arc growing tje^iqiUtlly loss ovury pear. The leading men of Charlotte ore sbrewd md enterprising, full of busiuess tact and cnsrgy, which infuses a go-ahead spirit through ,he community. There is no hanging back for >thers to lead whenever any matter for the general good is proposed ; nor is there much iguring upon the score of "will it benefit tnc," tut when the public good is assured, tiie com. nunity unite upon it zealously, each one feeing sure of receiving a shape of the benefits. With its pre out railroad facilities and other intural advantages 1 can see no reason why Charlotte should uot become equal iu business, jopulation and importance, to Atlanta, Fiuan:ially it now stands much above Atlanta.

For many years tho deceased { has lived the life of a confirmed invalid, so j that his neir and dear friends would have suf- j fcred no surprise had ho died long ere this. Paul Ilayne had tho sensitive nature of a true poet. His genius was of a tender yet ~ highly ardent character. The loving, tender, ' yearning spirit of the poet wns matched in ~ him with the high strung patriotic citizen. ~ The deceased was bom in Charleston January ' 1st, 1831, and hence died in liis Hifty-sixth year, lie was reared and educated in Charles- j ton and tenderly nurtured as the darling of a j widowed mother, to whom he was ever pccu- J liarly devoted. The poet bore the name of his j maternal grandfather, Paul Hamilton, who ' was Secretary of tho Navy from 1809 to 1813. * Mr. Ilayne was also a near kinsman of the ' great Carolina Senator, Hubert Young Ilayne. ^ Of distinguished lineage on every side, the j deccasod was singularly exempt from that un- j due pride of birth which was so common a J characteristic of the city of his birth. Few * men valued men at their true worth as did this child of song. Tho truth is one of his most ^ striking characteristics was his mnuly justice ? to all men of all degrees. Nor was this an un- ? common trait to others of his name, who were ^ noted for their square manliness pnd high ? sense of justice among men. The deooased, though a lawyer by profession, ) soon turned his altcntiou to literature and was ? wedded to tho muses almost from his cradle. ' He was a frequent contributor to the Southern ' Literary Messenger at an early age, and was ] reoogoi/.ed from the first as a mnu of remark- j able gifts ; for a time tho editor of the Charles- ] non Literal/ Gazette, he was also oonncctcd | with the Charleston Evening News, and was ] from its.beginning the edilor-ln-chicf of litis- ] set's Magazitif, one of Charleston's brightest J and most admired journals. Mr. Ilayne published a volume of poems in ' Boston in 1854 auothcr in New York in 1857. These volumas consist chiefly of brief poems, c sonnets and lyrics, "The Temptation of Venus, . a Monkish Legend" being the longest. A third volume, "Avolio and other Poems," was publisaed in 1859. In 1873 tho author published a fourth volume uuder the title, "Legends and Lyrics." a In the same year he edited the poems of Henry Tiuirod. The deceased poet, at (lie cjy>e of the war, vu.?<vu <i> uvuiijiii, nu?i|igiiii9 icgiuvu mer since, near to Augusta, in his pine land cottage, which was & gem in itself of tiyito and c^uifort, for which ft was indebted, not only to trie pctft master, but to tho fair hands gf. its loving mistress. The poet married early in life the deughlarof tho elder Dr. Michel, of Charleston, e and a sister of the highly distinguished Dr. c Myddlcton Michel of the same city. Well, the task of lifo is over now with Caro- , linn's most distinguished bard. He has loug t ranked high at liouic nnd abroad as u lyrical poet of the first water. i Though noble Georgia fondly adopted and honored liim, l'nul llaync is our own son by birth, lineage and temperament. No heart ever beat truer to South Carolina than his, and he leaves in his gifted son one who will walk 1 in his fathers fo6ts{eps a gently, loving, brave, just and generous nature. liring us back now all that remains of Carolina's child of song and bury him beneath the , palmetto and the junjriiolin, which shall mur- ? tuur their soft dirges nvcp the grave of the gifted one in the old home of his aucestors for generation after generation, ? *?? * ?' A Most Kkmarkablk .Cask.?During the summer of 1884, suffering from blood poisoning, 1 the result of a gun-shot would reseived during * tho 'late unpleasantness,' my attention was * called to the remedy of 8. 8. 8. through the ' public press, and 1 wrote to tho proprietors of mcdioine, describing nVy case, which I repeat * for the benefit of other sufferers. The ball " struck t}ip elbow joint and went through. It completely crushed all the artiaulative surface of the humeral so that both condyles and say four inches of the shnft of the bone were re- j moved by the surgeon. It also served tho ulnar nerve. The operation left the arm much shortened and limber, but it was very useful. Some c time in the fall of 187'.' it commenced to eyvell r and ipflowo helow ihc, el^ot?, nnd &oog after it t suppurated dnd discharged horribly offensive matter. The bone spread until the entire fore I arm was a putrid muss, encroaching both on t the back and palm of the hand. I was warned t by the surgeons that this might happon in after 1 life from nerve and blood poverty below the s elbow. Mv condition may be imagined at that J time. The wound wns bo offensive that 1 could hardly remain in a close room. I tried many 'J remedies, external and internal, but to no avail. 1 In June, 1884, 1 saw the advertisement of a Swift's Specific in the cify papers, and 1 wrote a immediately to the hotjsp in ;\tlautip receiving the follo'aVinu on a ranlv < - * c* ? r v Wo fear our S. S. will do you no good except as a tonic ' The very frankness of the reply induced ine to try it. 1 was a good patient and rigidly followed the directions. The first bottle nearly drove me crazy with symptoms I cannot describe, but it (and I feel t |ump in my thront as 1 write it) entirely removed the frightful smell which had tormeuted me and all who 1 came in contact with me for so long a time. 1 continued the use of the medicine, say in n month or six weeks, marked improvement was apparent, until, as the winter set in, >| 'lnd n? healed that 1 con d lyid did wtnr sleeve on my underclothing, which I had ip,t done in three ( years before. The ulcer was very obstinate, and it was not until (ho middle of 1885 that it (< was entirely welt. All redness and soreness * has disappeared. Hair is growing on the arm as before, and 1 ascribe all this to Swift's Spe t cific. Had I dreamed of such sgccees 1 would have had the arm photographed before taking the medicine, that all might 6ee the improtQmct, 1 have lived here for forty years and am well known, and niu reip|y in answer all inmiirip* from sit Here re |n reference to this cue.
