"A CHARGE TO KSBP X HAVE-"
*A beautiful ircident connected with the
g ea* Democratic v'etary occurred in AlUata.
Ga . and that has t ot as vat been pnbHalted.
Tb(ft i? a 11 1* cannon in that city kmwn
as Ilia "ConsM uM?u's Cannon." It is an
(ulliutiiatiriHy patriotic Dim^craiij gun,
aa I was use I to ee'?br?ta averv victory ef

lir old Liberty lb 11, ami art?r the demonstrations
are over tilwnV* finds its w?y
)>ack home. Columns bare heen written
about the (un, and it was Henry Grady's
? spao al pet.
In the Pie-idmtia' c nt?st tf 18?t$, Grsdy
placed a Itesey charge tn litis cannon, with
the rxpecta'io-i of touching it off with Ids
own I and io es ehrnfS Cleveland's flection,
llut ilia banner of ttr party went down
before 'lie onslaught of purchased llepublican
tnii-ts, st.d of cur-a the li t'egun remained
dumb. Grady w as sorely distressed
over tb" re?nlt. 1 m i.ncr for an insisnt did
his fault wnvr<n|h<t eventual triumph of
Ilia |rinci|l?s ?f Pent crncv. So he rareI'ulW
primed the c<nnott. puled a piece i f
paper over die touch ho c. and in this slip
I e *r le H e words
'A I'll Altltt. T > KKE1' I II.AVI!."
The gntt was Mien earofu'ly laid nwsy,
with a IcUcr written bv Henry Grady, in
which it was tinted that lie hoped to live

In the letter, in which the pnti i >tic an I
gifted yeungtic rgiun n?'<ed if the iiiintl of
death was laid up u him I efore thnt aurpieieus
day came, lie wanted some friend to
take the gun iii fr iiit tf the Coiiilituticn
t lidding, and let it .anu>>unce for liini to the
p?ople of At aula, whom lu lorrd mo well,
the glad tidings.
Everybody in tli.it city knew the story i f
the cam.on that (Imdy londcd. and wlirn
the wires begin 'o ti isli tin news rf lie
trium) hunt inni'vli of Democracy, iho lit-1 o
gun was biought fo tli tuin tour yours of
silence and made nady to V glial the < xpected
news. Not for any consideration
would that Hurrnl charge left by CSindy le
fired until nclory was pes 'ircly assured,
and it was generally understood ilrougliout
the city that wlirn the "Constitution t'aniioii"'
spoke it was evidence that ttio re ult
of Cleveland's c ec'ion wm no longer in
d utt. Turslay night nnd Wedneidhj
morning all can wore s rainc 1 to hrar the
finiil ar bum. The most intense aid
hreaihle.'S interest rciguel supreme It
weu'd have been com-ideicd a sacrilege to
gi*o any ttlier ncconut of the news than the
proi heoy of the be'ovcd and lamcnte I
Orady, speaking through iliis metal tune.
At thirtj-flvo minutes pert one rlwk i

Howell from Chairman llairity theee words:
"Cleveland is elected ! l et Grady's gun
peak !"
Every man in the ofiicc rushed into the
street. The paper p-1 ;ccd by Grady's hand
was tout rlT ?nd the cbnrgu in the tuirchhole
w:is found to he dry and sound. In an
instant the fuse w :s lighted, and witli u
thumlering report, that almost shook the
1'iedinont escarpment, the gun he'ehed foitli |
its glorious and welcome announcement.
The sceuo that followed beggars description.
Te the people of Atlanta tliat report
was as the Viico of one speaking from the
dead. Every hat at oocc went in>o the sir,
aud jells and c'lerrs I utsl from fifty thousand
tbroals. The repoi t ? !' Grady's charge
wae tnken up and re-echoed by parks of
ertil e y stationed on the neighboring
height-. Every locomotive aud steam whistle
in the city took up the refrain, and
never in tlie history ef Georgia was thero
sueh demonstrative joy. The fact that
Henry Grady's own haad had loaded that
canuou, and four years before had prophesied
the result, actod as electricity upon tht
people. The charge that the dead and beloved
journalist, philanthropist and statesmen
had given his gun to keep was then
delivered.
It was worth a trip of a thousand miles
te be in Atlauta at that hour.?Columbia
Register.
A National Flower.?Tbe following
brief paper was read by Mr. T. T. Swiu*
burn, at the Inst session of the American
Associaton for the Advancement of Ecieuce;
Ii is suggeMed that the American Association
for ilie Advancement of Science, in Cue
absence of a national Hewer, request the
management of Columbian Exp sition to
adopt the Cehiuihine as the tiower of the fair
leaving the national tiower, whatever it
proved to be, to now in popularity. Its
name comes fioni the sauie root as Columbia,
a mine our country often bears; it is classed
with the Aguilegia or eagle variety, because
its prtals end in spurs reseinb'ing the tilons
of an angle, it grow.s in red white and
blue, our national colors, it his five tminpei
shaped petals, corresponding to the tivs
points of the star upon cur tUg, and
these are grouped around a contra! shaft,
similar to the arrangement if the flutes
nrouu I the central government, and it is
iudigertous to the North American continent,
a hardy perennial and wild tiower
that is found in every part of cur land,
growing even upon the liicky Moun'ain*,
and in the very heart of the country. It
is very appropriate in name, form and
cw'.or. Its name suggests Colombia, and its
form is the prototype of the Phrygian
liberty cap, the head-dress of Columbia, and
an exact copy of ihe cornucopia, the fyuibd
of the Columbian Exposition."
Some Propositi! Nkw Measures.?Greenville,
Nov. 15.?A bill his been prepared,
and will be introduced in the l.sgia'aiure
by a meinhar fr nn this county, ra- I
quiring County Commissioners to take charge 1
of and feed prisoners in the county jail. It j
if claimed that it is a "retrenchment nn<i reform"
measure. Advocate* of the measure
aajr that sheriffs are new paid thirty cents a
day for feeling prisoners, when it does not
cott over ten cents a day. The Commies ionare,
it ie claimed, on buy f. oJ hy the wholesale.
and probably keep the prisoners for
less than ten cents a day.
Jlepreeentativo-elect Whitman will introduce
a bill, which he has already drawn up,
ei'ablishiog a County Court for (Jrrenville,
and it is not improbable that n bill making
Crunty Couits all over the State will be
passed.
The bill for this county provides f r a
judge at $1,000 a year salary, and a prosecuting
atioraey at $500. 1 ho regular grand
jury is to consider indictments, and jurors
, will be dtawu as usual. The c.urt will have
jurisdiction of all criminal cases except
uiuider, areen, burglaty, rape, and n few
other sorioue crimes. It will als> he<r civil
cases. Theconit will be run very much as
the Circuit Courts, and the terms will be
held c?orj other month.
Thare art so man/ provisi -ns of tha bill
that it ia almoit iroposribla to give all of
them. The judge and prosecuting attorne/
ara to ba aleclad by Ilia paop'a, and their
IVTUll Itf ufltse erete be four years sash.

The Inst advices received as we go to pros:

W?L- I .ast Friday and Saturday oui
streets looked like old times, before th<
Trougli Slioa's and other Spartanburg Cot
ton Factories were bui't, when from 12 t<
lb,000 bales of cotton were so'd in thii
market during the season. The stroet ftorr

The advanced condition of the cot
ton crop and the co'lon market of thii
County cannot be more satisfactorily given
than by the fo'lowing compurativo aiatomcut
of the receipts an 1 sliipmen's at ths

From what we cat gather from the few
fanners that have callad on us lately, we ar<
flat infiprl tint nin?<t>nili? nf t.liD onitnn iu mil
of the field and neirly one-half ef the crop
inn been sold.
WIT" We repeat what we have said before
Hint the present Sin e administration, from
Governor down, arc decidedly opposed t?
any extension of (lie time for paying taxes;
and an the time will expire on the l?>th
Decern! er, a little over three weeks from
today, the Treasurer will hardly hare time
to receive and teceipt for ell that are now
behind, even if a steady stream of tax-payers
should eall on him from this time out.
We. therefore, advise all who possibly can,
to pay at once and not risk being left out in
the runh of the la-t days.
We repent, we sre confident there will be
no extension this year, and all who havo
not paid their taxes, at the time of closing
the Treasurer's books, will sssuredly have
the penalty attaehed,
Another, and equally as important a
reason for an eirly fuyinent of taxes is the
fact that nine-'eoihs i f (he errors in the
collection of taxes occur during and in consrqueues
of the tush of business in the eellector's
office a fear days before c'oung the
books. People complain of those errors,
and blame the Tax collector far them, when
in fact, it is the fault of a large majority of
the people, who delay payment U'tll the
last hours and then the collector, in trying
te accommodate alt and sere as many as
pos?ible fiom the penally, rushes the work
of his office and, as under all similar circumstances
in business transactions, he
mikes mistakes. We hare oficn wondered
that a greater number and mere serious
mistakes wore not made than have been
discovered at the final settlement.

' Tub Columhus Annivkrsaby.?We *rt
aaked why was October 21st celebrated ni
3 the four-hundredth anniversary of the dis
coviry of America, when every school boj
[ learns that Columbus discovered Americi
j October 12, 1402 ?
Forinany centuries the calendar instituted
' by Julius Ciosar, known as the Julian calen
calendar, was commonly accepted. Thi
calendar assumed that there were 365', dayt
in a year. Hut as this made the year 11
' minutes end 17 seconds too long, it coulr
not, without correction, very long answei
r the purpose for which it wee devieed
, Eleven minutee a year would make nearly
an hour in five years, and nearly a day in t
' century. As time runs on the divergonct
would grow more and mere serious. Con
I eequently, in 1582 it was f und necessary t<
reform the calendar, and the Gregoriai
calendar was adopted. In order to correct
the errors that tho old calendar had made,
ten days were dropped out, and October ?
of 1582 became Oc:ober 15. As the error
, was found to be exactly three days in 400
years, the Gregorian calendar omitted the
leap year from every centurial year, excepting
those which were divisible by 400.
i Thus the years 1500, 1700 and 1800 were
not leap years.
As above stated, this reformation took
place in 1582. and ten days were omitted
from the on'endar. Hut as Columbus dis
covere i America previous to tbe year 1500,
which reckoned by llio Gregorian calendar
would not he a leap year there would be
but nine days to omit.
On October 21. 18'J2. the sun occupied
i the same rela'ive position to the earth aa on
the memorable October 12, 1402.
All the precedents for celebrating American
anniversaries are in favor of correcting
the old calendar to the new. For )iiatanoe,
"Forefathers' Day" in New Eoglad ie celebrate!
December 21st, although aooerding
to the Julian calendar the Pilgrims reached
Plymouth December 1 Ub. Wasbingtou was
born en the 11th day of February, "eld

his birth on the 22d day of February, "new

' Brxjamin Franklin,
Don't make a sohed teacher feel mean by
? calling him Piofessor." It is a downright
' slander on the craft. If you don*, care to
, call him '.Mr." or li&ve not time to say
"Good Morning," or -Good evening," than
I a well defined grunt ss you hurry by will be
9 more acceptable than "Professor." Besides
the evil sometimes dees harm, as the foli >wt
ing from a recent issue of ths "School Joureai"
explaias:
p A youog collage graduate of great premI
isc aada application to an educational
bureau for a position as principal of a high
schoo'. In a short time he received the information
that he had just failed to secure I
for hira one of the best positions in tba I
United Stntes, owing to the feet that his
credentials has spoken of him as "Prof.*'
j I don't want any young man, however
bright he may be, who wil allow himself
' to l>e called "Professor," said the shtewd
old chairman of the committee on teachers.
1 "1 will wait till ho lias outgrown that, and
in the meauiime look somewhere else." The
1 young man ia now plain Mr. and has learned
^ a lesson worth more than the lost position.

The Thobmwrll Oai'havaoa.?This institution
has had a remarkable history. Be- 1
trinninr with a half (foliar the rift if an I
o: phnn, it Una developed into a lit tin Tiling*
f cottages for orphans, with buildings for
sohoolwork, technical training and general
care.
There are 1*20 prrsons residing in it :
orphans from ten different State, (from
Massachusetts to Texas, from Michigan to
Florida) and eight different denominations.
They are gathered together to be cared fur
and eductted. Every child ie given an
excellent business education and is taught a
trade. None are receited, but needy and
deserving orphans.
The'expeuse of the Institution this year,
was $10000; this was glean in small sums
hy thousands of individuals. Depsodonce 1

10 the farm again; aad every fhrnily thit Mfen
