100 totfOO miles an hour, is accepted by
practical electriciaus as sound in theory and
application. The difficulties arc merely
those of detail, and it is to the removal of
these obstacles lhat the inventors of rival
systems arc addressing their faculities so
industriously.
"It is claimed, and not by visionaries,
but by hard-headed practical men, whose
money is involved, that very shortly we shall
able to send fiieght if not passengers front

Tut Railroad Accidents which occur
evey day with such wonderful loss to human
life are suffi^ent cause for a man to stop
and reflectottthfe fate of scores of his fellowmen
but a greater. Cause for his reflection
is nny danger to his own health. If he suffers|from
malarial poison he,may stop and reflect
on the cure. Dr. Westmoreland's Calianya
Tonic is warranted to uproot the malarial
poision, and when the blood has been
purified it will leave the system strengthened
to repulse the attacks which may come
later. The wise inveaiiueut of a dollar in
a bottlo of this valuable medicine may save
a large doctor's bill. Sold by J. W. Tosey

S?3u We call attention to the notice of y
Rev. B. G. Clifford, Principal of the Clifford r
Seminary, announcing the opening of that }
popular institution next Tuesday.
Wa aro nlaassil to laa.ni from Mr. (ItSanl _
that the prospects for a much larger number of
pupils than heretofore arc very encouraging, ^
while the ninny flnttcringlcttcrs from parents t
and friends of former pupils give unerring j
testimony of the growing popularity of this e
Seminary, based upon the solid foundation of t
specimens of the polished work it lias already ^
sent out to adorn society.
We again any there nrc but few institu- c
tions of learning in this country that offer
more or higher educational advantages than f
the Clifford Seminary, und certainly no town j
possesses greater attractions than the heal- j
thy and pretty town of Union for the location
of such an institution.
While the Clifford Seminary is entirely a
private enterprise, it has done much public
good in the way of imparting higher education
to young ladies, from all parts of the
State, thereby giving character to the town
for superior educational facilities, which
suouui DC appreciated ny our citizens, and j
the institution encouraged not only because j
it is a worthy home enterprise, but for its ^
intrinsic merits. j
Vacancy in the Citadel.
As there is now a vacancy in the Citadel ^
Academy, for one Cadet from Union County,
an examination of applicants to fill the vacancy
will be held on Thursday the 12th
lay of September, at this place.
The committee appointed to examine the
applicants are, Win. WcGowan, School Commissioner,
James M. Gee, Probate Judge,
and Theodore Munro. M. D., which is sufficient
guaranty that each applicant will be
given a fair, just nnd impartial examination.

Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Judge Wallace was engaged last Tucsda;
fternoon in hearing applications for bail o
*riU of habeas cotyut in two cases of horn:
idc from Columbia.
The case of W. D. Kelly, white, for th
;illing of George Bateman, colored, in Cc
umbia. sometime ago. who was tried, bu
failed to agree, and the applicatioi
ras made for bail; Judge S. W. Melto
epresenting the defen8e, and Solicitor-1
I. Nelson representing the State.
The affidavits used in the cose were prctt
huch the same an those need at the trial.
Solicitor Nelson resisted the motion ft
tail, on the ground that, under the provisioi
if the Constitution, where the prcsuuiptio
s great that the killing was murder, ba
hall not be granted, and as the Jury faile
o agree, as in this case, the presumption wt
;rcat.
After argument Judge Wallace took tl
:asc under advisement.
The other case was that of W. B. Mectx
or the killing of James I. Clark, on tl
Id of August, in Columbia, for alleged is
>ropcr advancements towards Meetze's wifi
Several affidavits were submitted as to tl
onduct of Hnrk towards Mrs. Mcetxe, an

ounter.
Judge Wallace reserved his decision i
his ease also.

they gave a hot supper, from whioh
the net sum of $76 26 Was realised. The
work has gone on aud povr the building

will then be ready to be dedicated to God's

I rqjoice to see the wonderfkl improvement,
that is being made in the methods of
agriculture. Our Ibrefhthere seemed to have
had the mistaken idea that if any of their
sons were not smart enough to make success*
fill ministers. Uwvm ?? ? ??1?~
?l, ?. t ,.? .*i ?/> iwiuwiw,
they would do for farmers, and without the
least thought of farming beoomlng a scientific
pursuit, they would mercilessly demand
the virgin soil to give them a living. Now
we see that it takes brain to make on# worn
and washed hills and overSowou valleys
imile with plenty; and there is truth in
every word of thd assertion that "if wo feed
md dress our lands they will give us ample
returns."
The amounts that have been produced pn - -.'-i
in acre would have seemed fabulous a'few
years ago, yot I doubt not but these wonderful
returns per acre can be inoreesed, end
rhat we need, as my young friend in his ee- ^.
ay says, is educated brain. ' ^v'
WHAT WABXSKf*OUGHT TO BKA9.
m air. Kditor.?The day Is not far distant,
Ire trust, when farming, like the other professions,
will be conducted on ecientiflo prinliples;
but before such is the case, the farming
olasses must be educated?not merely to
Itnow how to read, write and cipher, bat by
Informing themselves on the leading topics
of the day, to improve their minds and broadlen
their ideas.
I Think of tho many newspapers, books
| and magatines, whiek are within the reach
of almost every one, and from whioh so muoh
entertaining and nseftil information could bo "
obtained, and we are surprised to. find them
v mile used. Often do you find the former
reading nothing except his eonnty paper,
and too often not even that.
The man who claims inability as a reason
for not taking needed literature is certainly
not a progressive farmer.
A prosperous former ought to take at least ^
his county and somo other good seoular
paper, and his church paper; all of which
will hardly cost morethan five dollarsayear. The
county paper, besidos keeping you
posted on the current news throughout your
own county, all legal procedures whioh may
concern you, will now and then refresh your
mind with some new idea about agriculture,
stock-raising, aud perhaps other important
subjects.
If you pay strict attention to your church
weekly, twelve monttfT will hardly tafe ^
elapsed before you will have learned something
about the origin, history and doctrine
of your own as well as other churches.
You know precious little about such things
now. It would bo quite interesting to know
how many formers?Methodists, Baptists and
Presbyterians?could give the numerical
strength of their respective churehA*
yet these things come under their obserrution
daily.
Your secular paper will give you
muoh information on almost every subject.
Had you been a careful and thoughtful
read er you would have known something
about trusts and corporations ; something
about the ootton exchange, and that you
didn't get pay for the bagging and ties long
before the bagging queetion was first agitated.
If what the newspapers tell you to not, exhaustive
enough, or if you should like .to
become well informed on the leading questions
which agitate the world to-day, then
jrou might add to your stock some good
monthly magazine, vj? : Ths Farm, or the
North American Review, or the AUiance
Monthly, and others; any one of whieh,
notably The Farm, would amply repay fof
nollfy invested,
Briefer from our intention to say this
s all the^g^ogrcssiTe farmer onght to read,
'or it is his privilege as well as duty to read
irerything that tendft^o cultivate and 1m* j
prove. _ % ;$gfl|
A man need not make of hTmscI? HxmJP- jj
trorm" in order to cultivate a taste for readng.
Almost every intelligent perspft
mows that when the taste for good company
s once formed that it is never pleasant nor . v
igreeable to be among the base and unre* . ?
ined. Just so when the taste for gbod readng
is formed; it never forsakes us, but is
?ver afterwards a source of infinite pleasures v
is well as the means by which our store of
mowledge is increased, our ideas broadeeuMMM^H^I
