-Ex-Senator Roscoe Ccnkling died in !
New York on Wednesday from an abscess
which had formed in his ear. He was by ;
all odds the smartest and purest of the I
Republican party. General expressions of
regret from Democrats and Republicans
alike have been made throughout the
conniry.
Elections were held in many Illinois
cities last Wednesday, the principal featnrebeing
a straggle between the temperance
ana saloon elements. In a large
number of places the anti-license ticket
was successful, and in several others high
license candidates were successful,
y*? John Jameson, the oldest Free Mason
Ya the United States and last survivor of
tn^ 16th Kentucky Volunteers in the
War of 1812, died at Batavia, Ohio, on
Friday. He was born October 25, 1793, in
xectocKy. Mr. Jameson was a suiiui im i
theband of Miss Hannah Simpson, who
married (Jen. Grant's father.
? A new postmaster was appointed for a
country postofflce in Texas, and for several
days afterward the mail agent received no
mail from the station and reported the
matter to the superintendent of the railway
mail service. The latter wrote the
postmaster, who replied that he was waiting
for the mail sack to get fnll before
sending it to the train.
? Cross and White, the defaulting president
and cashier of the State National
Bank of Raleigh, N. C., confined in jail in
that city two weeks to await trial, gave
bond and were released from jail last Saturday
night at midnight. The bond was
$15,000 each. One of White's bondsmen
is D. H. Graves, In whose name one of the
forgeries, for which Cross and White are
to he tried, was committed.
? Last Friday was the one hundredth
day of the present session of Congress.
The total number of bills and resolutions
introduced in the Senate and House up to
this date is 12,568, exceeding by more than
2,000 the number presented in the first one
hundred days of the last Congress. So
far the House has passed 425 and the Senate
831 bills, and 185 House bills and 24
Senate bills have been sent to the President
tor approval.
? Major Erastus W. Everson, who lived
at Plymouth, Mass., the past winter, has
mysteriously disappeared. He was last
? * ? ? ?- * 1 Cm..
seen )n jooscon on marvu n i auu in 10 icai" |
od tbat he was lost in the great storm of
MarchJ2. He served with distinction in
the army and at one time was State librarian
of South Carolina. Going North he
entered the service of the New York Times
and later was identified with other newspapers.
? The Jews of New York city, who are
rapidly increasing in number, are looking
for an annsnally large immigration this
vear from Russia. The Czar's Government
is very severe upon his Jewish subjects,
who ean reside only in certain localities
and are kept under many disabilities; and,
since many of them have found homes in
this country, thousands of others are desirous
of joining them. A dispatch of the
8th of April,? from Odessa, contained an
official announcement that 10,000 Jewish
families were to be expelled from that
city, and many of those who can procure
the necessary means are expected to take
passage for New York.
? Georgia's colored people are making a
good record for thrift and industry. In
1879 their property was valued at $5,182,898;
but last year the valuation was $8,989,479,
showing a gain of 72$ per cent
during the nine years. In the same
Qme the valuation of white men's property
has risen from $229,777,150 to $332,565,442,
a gain of only 44 3-5 per cent, approximately.
These figures simply prove what
the intelligent representatives of the negro
race have said about the progress made,
and go to illustrate anew that the negroes
are working out their own future. The
richest colored woman in the South, Mrs.
Amaoda Ewas, who has a snug fortune of
$400(000, lives in Atlanta.
? A Knoxville, Tenn., dispatch of Saturday
says: Hancock county is at present
enjoying a war of extermination between
thA .innea And Green families. About two
months ago William Jones was killed by
Dick Green, while both were on their way
to church. Green was arrested, but released
on bail. Last Sunday morning,
while Green was in a field, he was attacked
by the father and two brothers of the
deceased. Tom Green was badly bounded.
The war was renewed Friday, and
it is reported that one of the Greens and
one of the Jones were shot. Arrests
cannot be made, as both sides are heavily
armed.
? Referring to Senator Hampton's condition
since his recent accident, a Washington
dispatch of Saturday says: Senator
Wade Hampton of South Carolina,
wearing a bandage about his 1 Aft wrist,
made his appearance in the Senate to-day
for the first time since his accident last
week. On that occasion a horse the Senator
was riding fell, carrying the Senator
with him. The consequence of the fall
was a sprained wrist, which., while not
Kainful, justified his remaining in the
ouseas a precautionary measure until today.
Senator Hampton celebrated his
seventieth birthday on the 28th of last
month. He bears hi? age remarkably well
and looks at least ten years younger than
he is.
? Marcus A. Root, the first American
daguerreotyper, died in Philadelphia last
Thursday at the age of 80. He #was born
in Granville. Ohio, and moved to the
Quaker City in 1835. In 1843 his attention
was called to the daguerreotype. He at
once gave up all other enterprises and was
soon established as the leading daguerreofi.rvAi.
in fMo nnnntnr TTo hart nrdprs from
yreuu UIjOV?V.U.v. ?
all over the world, and founded establishments
in New York, Boston, St. Louis and
Washington. The first daguerreotype he
ever took was taken on solid silver, and
was a view from one of the windows of
of the Philadelphia mint. It was on exhibition
at the Centennial, and is now in
possession of the Philadelphia Pra?. The
portraits of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster,
on the United States currency, were
taken from daguerreotypes made by Mr.
Root.
? A Salt Lake City dispatch of Thursday
says: The United States Marshal, as receiver
in the Government suits to confiscate
the property of the Mormon Church,
continues to search for and claim property
which it is alleged the church has held
and disposed of to individuals. While
testifying before the examiner in these
suits, Angus M. Cannon, President of the
Salt Lake State of Zion, answered that he
did not now sign any recommendations to
the Temple for plural rvrriages, and that
over a year ago the President of the church
notified him he would not countersign any
more such recommendations; therefore,
such marriages had been discontinued.
The new city council contains four prominent
gentiles among its members.
-Ex-President Andrew D. White, of
Cornell University, has just returned to
his home in Ithaca, N. Y., from a tour
through the South. He says: "I like the
character of the people I have met. A
good feeling everywhere prevailed toward
the Union. The South is heartily and
thoroughly reconstructed. A great awakening
in business is evidenced. Though j
many cities have been stranded, like Mo- j
Kilo a lriavtr milrnaH fivstpm Vpt. thprP
VlaV) l/J W MVff urj vwv... , ^ ~ - ?Mw.w |
is an immense development at the railroad
centres. Emigration is coming, chiefly I
from the North-west. Thousands of
would-be settlers are in the South looking
for suitable places to locate. There is a
rapid advancement in the educational in- i
terests of the South, although there is, as 1
yet, no approximation to co-education of
races. The whites are opposed to it, and ;
the blacks do not wish it. The question
between mixed and separate schools will
settle itself satisfactorily if bad blood is
not aroused."
? The colored Bishop Hood, in explain-!
ing his advocacy of the payment to South-1
ern planters of some indemnity for the
loss of their slaves says: "The idea came
to me last winter, and was first made public
in an address which I delivered at the
Central North Carolina Conference last
November. It met with no marked opposition
there, and since then I have not discussed
or mentioned the subject until ray
address of yesterday. I believe that such
& step would benefit my race, and it is as a
benefit to them that I advocate it. The
feeling on the part of the slave-owners is
that emancipation was a theft, and if they
were paid for what they consider was
stolen from them, they could not but have
a better feeling towards the negro. All
the institutions of this country favored
and fostered slavery, and it seems to me
only an act of justice that the slave-owners
should be reimbursed for what a changed
condition of things took from them.
Finally, the negro would be benefitted by
the distribution of the money. The whites
are actually too poor to employ labor at
fair wages, or to provide for the proper
education of the negro. There were, I believe,
about four million slaves at the close
of the war, and a fair average valuation
would be about $100 per slave. It is not
true that the negroes it. North Carolina
object to working on the plantations. In
many cases they own land themselves."

MR. CLEMSON'S BEQUEST.
On the fourth page of this issue will be
found interesting particulars of the munificent
bequest made to the State by the
late Mr. Clemson, of Oconee county. The
article referred to is the result of an interview
of a reporter for the Greenville News
with a member of Mr. Clemson's family,
and is in the main correct. Since it was
printed, Mr. Clemson's will has been
proved before Probate Judge Lewis of
Oconee county. Mr. Clemson leaves to
the State of South Carolina, Fort Hill
house and plantation for the establishment
of an agricultural college, with a large endowment
fund. The securities at their
par value amount to $80,000, to be devoted
to the establisment of a scientific school of
i?-ii?? ~.?nKoni/?o ond arts nra hip"h
agricuuuie, luc^iiaiiiw nuv> - n
seminary of learning. The State has three
years to accept or reject the legacy, and it
is left with the Chief Justice of the State
Supreme Court to say whether she does
not accept the legacy and trust. In case
the Chief Justice fails to act, R. W. Simpson,
the executor, is to say so, and his action
ia to be final. If the State accepts and
supplements the endowment fund, R. W.
Simpson, the executor, is to make a deed
to the State, and turn over the money and
securities of the endowment fund to the
State. He appointed seven trustees of the
fund, and the State is to elect six trustees ;
but if the State does not accept, the executor
is to deed Fort Hill to the seven trustees
and turn over the endowment fund
to them to still establish an agricultural
college. The executor is allowed to ex-,
pend $5,000 for the erection of suitable
buildings, and the income of the farm anth
interest on the money to goto freetuition.y
THE T1LLMAXITES IN COUNCIL.
The executive committee of the Farmers'
Association of South Carolina, met
in Columbia last Friday night, remaining
in sesshn until an early hour Saturday
morning. Seven of the nine members of
the committee were present, including D.^
K. Norris, of Anderson, president, and
Capt. B. R. Tillman, of Edgefield. To the
Columbia correspondent of the News and
Courier, Col. Norris said that the meeting
had been called to formulate a policy to
govern the Association in the future. The
committee decided to issue an auuress 10
the people of the State which is in course.,
of preparation, and will be given to thev
press in a few days. The principal points
of the address, it is understood, will be as
follows:
The farmers are urged to organize in
their interest and demand the Agricultural
College provided for by Mr. Clemson's
Fort Hill bequest. The organizations in
each of the counties are recommended to
require pledges from all candidates to
support retrenchment and reform and the
Agricultural College according to the plans
of the advanced Tillmanites. Nothing is
said as to State officers, but the people are
urged to elect only such delegates to the
State convention in May as will be in
favor of postponing the nomination of
State officers until a later period.
This advocacy of another and a later
convention is manifestly caused by a hope
that later in the year candidates will be
developed more in accord with the movement
than the present State officers.
The issue of retrenchment and reform is
to be made prominent, and in the address
"thedeadly parallel" is to be drawn in regard
to the salaries of the State officers in
South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.
This position is taken, so the explanation
goes, not only because it is believed
to be a popular one, but because a great
point was made against the separate college
scheme in the last Legislature by the
argument that it meant additional taxation.
The object of the movement is to effect
retrenchment and reform in order to provide
support for the Agricultural College.
Nothing is said in the address about the
Citadel, proving that the ad vice of a member
against antagonizing that institution
until the Farmers'College should be firmly
established, was taken.
As to the university, the address will
declare that it is the desire of the farmers'
movement to maintain it on its present I
liberal appropriations, and to make it a !
high institution after cutting off the agricultural
college feature.
There will be no demand for the abolitinn
rtf tho ovnerimpnt stations at finartan
burg and Darlington, the fear of opposition
in these counties evidently deterring the
committee from attacking these establishments,
but the Columbia station is expected
to go with the agricultural college
branch of the university.
The address will demand the endowment
of the Agricultural College at Fort
Hill by the devotion to its support of the
Hatch fund of $15,000, one-half of the interest
on the Agricultural College scrip,
and the whole of the privilege tax on fertilizers
now used for the support of the
agricultural department, with its departments
of fish culture, weather service,
veterinary surgery, &c.
These three funds will provide, it is estimated,
fifty thousand dollars a year for !
the support of the Fort Hill College. The j
Clemson bequest, amounting to about a
hundred thousand dollars, is considered ;
sufficient for the equipment of the college
without State aid.
Another Terrible Earthquake in
China.?The details of another terrible i
earthquake in Yunnan were received at |
uVnn/ii'o/in nn Ciin/lor nicrht hvr afppmPT
oaii r tauujow uu uuuuuj ?- ?,? v. ,
from China. The report says: "From the
second day of the twelfth month of last
year until the third day of this year, there
were over ten shocks of earthquake. In
Ship Ping nine-tenths of the houses in the
South are falling down, in the Northwest
a thousand being cracked orbentoutof per-1
pendicular; 200 people, men and women, j
old and young, being crushed to death; !
wounded and injured over 300. At Fung
Heang over 800 men were crushed to death, |
and about 700 or 800 wounded. At Nan
Hiang there are over 200 dead and 500
injured. About 100 were killed and the
same numberinjured at Peh Hiang. (The
four places last named are suburbs.) In
the town and suburbs over -*00 people are
either killed or wounded, eight or ninetenths
of the houses have fallen down and
the rest cracked and leaning over. In
other localities 300 or 400 houses were
overturned and 350 persons killed and 160
wounded.

NOTES FROM LANCASTER COUNTY.
Craigsville, April 21.?Stern winter
seems to have halted on. his departing
route and taken a notion to return. There
must have been hail with the rain that
fell on Thursday, the air is so chilly.
Notwithstanding two weeks of fair
weather, the farmers are greatly behind,
because so much previous rain had prevented
operations. Some cotton is planted
and coming up, while the ground in
other places has not been broken; but our
people keep driving ahead and hope for
a better day coming.
Candidates are beginning to loom up
and shake hands. About next June court
the woods will be full of them, and peaceably
inclined folks will have to carry a
shotgun and keep a pack of dogs to chase
them off.
The pension board seems to be in trouble
again. Like the schoolboy who did his
siiimfl wmnc. thev have had to SDit on the
I slate, rub out their work and start anew.
I It is strange that they cannot ascertain the
number of pensioners described in the law,
report the same to the legislature, and
leave that body to look out for suitable
Appropriations. Under the present mode
of proceeding there will likely be another
board to do this work, thus making more
expense for the State and more delay for
the pensioners. But delays may be sweet
to some folks, under certain circumstances,
instead of dangerous; for instance to office-holders
who wish to postpone the day
of their exit.
Congress has plastered itself all over
with bills. Upwards of nine thousand
bills have been introduced, and only a
small percentage acted on. It is evident
that this noble body have tried to make
too big a show of patriotic concern for their
country and constituents. They have invaded
the rights of States to such an extent
that they cannot attend to the accumulation
of business. Their situation reminds
one of a conversation between
Generals Forest and Buford. The former,
in a battle, asked: "General Buford, where
are you going?" The latter answered
that he saw a body of the enemy that he
wished to cut off and capture. "Yes! and
you'll cutoff a great deal more than you
can chaw," was the reply. This cutting
too big a slice seems to be troubling our
conscript fathers much. If they would
leave the States to attend to their own
business, confine themselves to Federal
business and restrain a sad propensity to
talk, they might be able in proper time
to get through work and adjourn before
the next session should push them off their
aoata Ponnlo ehnnlH nnt i'Ilt. nff more than
they can masticate.
Rev. Mr. Plaxicois now holding a three
days' meeting at Shiloh A. R. P. Church.
He will preach to-morrow week for the
Presbyterians at Beulah, the Shiloh session
having kindly consented to spare
him for that occasion.
The new railroads through this county
are progressing moderately well. The
tracks on both roads will be soon laid to
the river, after which the bridges will
probably be built faster. Lancaster has
already enjoyed an excursion to Charleston
on the Three C's.and everybody hopes
for a better cotton market among us for
the next crop. Waxhaw.

* LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Rock Hill, April 23.?Our town was
visited by a heavy rain and hail storm on
Thursday evening last, which did some
damage to the growing crops.
/ The merchants of our town have decided
re close their places of business at 6.30 P.
M. after May 1st. This is certainly commendable.
The clerks go to work at G in
the morning and it is nothing but just that
they be relieved after 6.30 in the evening.
It is with regret that I have to report
the condition of Col. J. W. Rawlinson as
unimproved, and the announcement of
his death may be expected at any hour.
><The trustees of the graded school at this
place have secured the services of Prof. A.
R. Banks, of Fort Mill, as superintendent.
The building of the residence for the superintendent
has been commenced and
will soon be completed.
I am glad to say that the w heat and oat
crops are looking well; in lact, netter man
for several years. The only regret is that
our farmers had not planted more.
,,/Your correspondent had the pleasure, in
company with Mr. S. L. Reid, to visit the
city of Beaufort, last week, in attendance
upon the Grand Lodge Knights of Honor.
We certainly had an enjoyable time, and
the hospitality of the people of the beautiful
city could not have been surpassed.
We up-country folks certainly enjoyed the
fish and oysters. Think about it! Drum
fish weighing from 20 to 25 pounds sold for
40 to 50 cents!
It has been suggested that the children
of the Sunday-schools in this place have a
union picnic on May 1st. It has been a
long time since the young people have enjoyed
a picnic and I hope that the idea
will be adopted. Hal.

NOTES FROM BETHEL.
Bethel, April 23.?Since my last letter,
"Aunt" Jane McGill has passed away, aged
08 years. She was an excellent Christian
woman, loved and respected by all who
knew her. Especially did she endear herself
to the poor and unfortunate in her
vicinity, and was always ready with an
encouraging word or more material help,
just as the case called for. She will be generally
missed where she has been known
so long. Within a week there have been
three interments in Bethel grave yard:
Mr. W. E. Campbell, Mrs. Parmelee
Mason, widow of the late Richard Mason
and grandmother of Mrs. John M. Hope
of your town, and "Aunt" Jane McGill.
Cold weather hasn't left us yet, there
being considerable frost on Saturday morning.
We'll not be surprised if the farmers
have a spell of mourning over "sick cotton"
in the next week or two.
We had quite an excitement over a genuine
mad-dog on last Monday morning.
It came to our house and attacked a negro
man on the place. When he found it
was mad he began throwing rocks at it, and
while one of us got the gun, the others
"hollered" and screamed enough to madden
it if it hadn't already been so. After
pursuing it about a mile and firiug three
times, it was killed.
We have heretofore been rather skepticalon
the mad-dog subject, butthisone was
certainly mad ; its eyes having the green
color, and its tongue hanging out of its
mouth according to the general description
of animals afflicted with rabies.

NOTES FROM OROVER.
Grover, N. C., April 23.?This morning
dawned upon us with a balmy breeze
from the east, and the echoes of the tillers
of the soil can be heard from hill to dale.
The heavy rains of last week impeded
the progress of the farmers for a few days
in planting. There was a heavy frost
Saturday morning in places, which injured
the wheat and oat crops to some extent,
but the fruit crop is safe if nothing further
happens to it. Health is good, considering
the sudden cold snap we had for a few
days.
Mr. F. H. Dover, our enterprising railroad
contractor, is at home on a flying
visit to attend to some important business.
He reports that the work of his
firm on the Augusta and Knoxville line is
progressing nicely.
The political pot is now beginning to
simmer in our vicinity. The citizens are
locating; their favorite candidates without
any political strife or animosity towards
any.
The Farmers' Alliance will meet at Antioch
Saturday the 19th of May, instead of
April 28th, as was reported to The Enquirer
last week.
Antioch, with its branch Sunday-school
at Pine Grove, will send as delegates to
the convention this week, Messrs. B. J.
Gold ,E. B. McSwain, Preston Green, and
Frank Johnson. Index.
McCrady vs. Rorertson.?The trial of
this already celebrated case was begun in
Columbia on Monday of last week before
Judge Kershaw. It will be remembered,
Col. McCrady sues Dr. Robertson for 810,000
for libel, the alleged libel being an
abusive letter written by Dr. Robertson to
Col. McCrady regarding a suit in which
they were involved on opposing sides,
i The counsel are H. A. M. Smith, of
Charleston, LeRoy F. Youmans and Col.
: C. R. Miles, for the plaintiff, and John T.
Sloan, Jr., and Lyles & Haynesworth, for
the defendant.
Col. Miles opened the case for the plaintiff.
He said the suit was the only recourse
Col. McCrady had, as he was a consistent
opponent to duelling and violence,
and a professing Christian. The statement
that Col. McCrady will regard any
amount of damages he may recover as a
fine and deposit it In the State treasury,
was objected to as likely to influence the
jury, but allowed.
The testimony, including written documents,
introduced in the case, is quite voluminous,
though it was expected the ex
animation ot witnesses wouiu uecuiiuuued
yesterday.
The Result of Flirting.?The sensation
caused by the marriage of Miss Florence
Little, the belle of Gaffney, to two
different men, in February, is slow to subside.
A Gaffney correspondent of theNew
York Timessays:."Thistown and the surrounding
country have been greatly excited
ever since the middle of February
last over the marriage of Miss Florence
Little, who was the belle of all the young
ladies and was withouta rival in the beauty
of her features and the splendor of her
magnificent form, which is fit for an artist's
model."
The writer then refers at length to Dr.
D. C. Atkinson's statement published a
few weeks ago, and adds:
"Mrs. Mintz, as she must now be known,
has been guilty of bigamy, and it is not
known whether she will be prosecuted or
not. Why she married Atkinson is not
explained. In^ffouth Carolina no license
is required, and it may be she thought
Mintz and Carter would keep silent and
the former marriage would never be
known. Mintz has brought suit to have
the marriage annulled a9 to himself, and
will put Atkinson on the stand to prove
his case. So it appears that the double
marriage, instead of providing one woman
with two husbands, has probably deprived
Miss Florence Little of a husband and may
subject her to a criminal prosecution.
"There has been no event in the history
of this thriving town that has so excited all
our people. Miss Little, or Mrs. Mintz, is
now at her home and sees no one but the
family.
"Miss Florence was a great liirt, and
could not resist a little pastime in this
way with any fit specimen of the sterner
sex. Mr. Augustus Mintz was herdevoted
I slave. The course of true love wassmooth
until Dr. D. C. Atkinson, of Chester, S. C.,
came upon the scene and took in the regular
features and the Juno like form of the
unrivalled belle of Gaffney City. At once
he laid his heart and hand and the resultant
fees of Esculapius at her feet, and
forthwith they became engaged."
Union County's Woman Candidate.
The Union correspondent of the Neios and
Courier says: The announcement of Miss
Eliza Garner, of the justly celebrated Pea
Ridge neighborhood, as a candidate for
the office of school commissioner of Union
county, has created a ripple of excitement
in political circles here. There is a great
disposition among some of the local politicians
to dampen the hopes of this female
aspirant and to weaken her position by
raising the question whether a woman can,
by law, hold a public office in South Carolina?
So far as we have learned, she is
fully competent in ability, her energy cannot
be denied, and there is no doubt that
all the zeal and all her time would be
devoted to the high duties devolving upon
such an office. She has entered the campaign
with a vim, and is daily electioneering
in the county. From last reports
she was in Cross Keys township, where, it
is said, she has gained the support of some
of the most influential citizens. She bears
a good reputation, is well educated, has
taught school for ten years, and believes
herself peculiarly fitted for the office for
* i. ^ *11 -
wmcn sne is running, one wm imw ?
hard fight. The present incumbent, the
Itev. W. M. Foster, is a candidate again.
He is known Jtofcg one of the finest stump
speakers in the State. He has hejd the
present office for two terms, and before the
war represented Spartanburg county in
the House of Representatives. He is considered
a hard man to turn down, for, besides
the quick, sparkling stump oratory
which he possesses, he was made a cripple
for life by a bullet through his leg while
gallantly leading his battalion to the
charge. Mr. Wm. A. McGown, also of
Pea Ridge, a young man of fine abilities,
a recent graduate of the South Carolina
College, a fluent, witty stump speaker,
and, withal, a capital young fellow, and a
lawyer, is whetting his political blade for
the office above named. The race between
these candidates will be the interesting
one of the county, and, no doubt, will attract
the attention of the outside world.
The Prohibition Party in South
Carolina.?A Columbia dispatch says:
Leading Prohibitionists in this State are
preparing to take steps for effecting an organisation
in line with the National Prohibition
party. The movement is the
outgrowth of the correspondence recently
conducted by John Lloyd Thomas, secretary
of the National Prohibition bureau.
Hundreds of earnest temperance people in
South Carolina have read the letters as
printed in the Voice, and the matter has
been the subject of more thought than has
ever before been given it in this State.
Although no call for a convention has been
issued yet, it is believed the sentiment exists
for the creation of the organization
wanted.
Among those prominently interested are*
L. B. Haynes, of this city, H. F. Chreitzburg,
head of the Grand Lodge of Good
Templars, and J. O. A. Moore, and J). F.
Witherspoon, of Charleston.
General Crop Report.?Washing
ington crop report of last Saturday says:
Reports from the Northern States indicate
that the week has been unusually cold and
that the farm work has been greatly retarded.
Reports from the Southern States
show that weather during the week has affected
all crops favorably. Cotton planting
is prv. .ressing rapidly, and generally
through ut the cotton States the week is
reported as the most favorable of the season.
Light frosts occurred in North Carolina
on the'20th, which may prove injurious
to fruit and crops on low grounds.
From the States south of the Missouri
river, including Kansas, Nebraska and
southern Missouri1, the weather has been
generally favorable and the crops are well
advanced.
Prescribing Without a License.?
Dr. J. R. Robbs, a druggist of our town,
was arrested and tried before the town
council last Friday on the charge of issuing
prescriptions for spirituous liquors
without having a license from the mediical
state board of examiners to practice in
this State. Dr. Robbs went before the
board of examiners recently, but failed to
get his license, and Major Hamilton made
application to the supreme court for a writ
of mandamus compelling the board to
issue the license because Dr. Robbs had
his diploma from the Medical College of
Louisville, Ky., but the board refused to
grant the license. Dr. Robbs was fined
$20. An appeal has been taken from the
decision of the town council.?Chester

Fire At Union.?By fire at Union C.
II., last Sunday morning, eight buildings
were burned destroying more than $20,000
worm 01 property, as joiiows: r.. r.
Brings, store house, ?2,900; R. T. McGee,
stock of goods, ?9,500; John Rogers, store,
?2,000; James II. Rogers, stock, ?3,500;
the Harlan building, ?750; H. M. Grim-V
ball, two store houses, ?2,500; other smaller

The insurance on the property destroyed,
aggregates, as far as known, ?10,950. The
fire originated in a wooden building on
Main street, known as the Harlan House,
but the cause is unknown.
Primary or Convention.?From the
expression of most of the newspapers of
the State, the people desire a primary election
for State officers. The State convention,
when it assembles in May, should
take suitable action providing for such a
mode of selecting our chief officers. No
evil or injustice can result therefrom, and
the people should rule.?Greenville Mountaineer.

^ RAIN STORM.
On Thursday night last, this section was
visited by a heavy rain, accompanied with
high wind and lightning. There were two
strokes of lightning, one on Mr. S. Anderson
McElwee's lot, in the northern pan of fown,
killing two of his cows, and the other on the
lot of J. Hannibal Beatty, near the A. R. P.
Church, rending a tree. South of town the
storm Avas more severe. In the neighborhood
of Brattonsville the wind was strong, breaking
down a great deal of timber. The storm extended
to Guthriesvillo and McConnellsville,
and the Presbyterian church at the latter place
was struck by lightning, which tore off a portion
of the roof and otherwise slightly injured
the house. Since Thursday night the temperature
has been unusually cool for this section
with slight frost.
THE CLEVELAND BONDS.
The Shelby Aurora says that on the 14th instant
Judge-Bond decided lhat the coupons for
one year's interest ou the bonds of Cleveland
and Rutherford counties, N. C., in aid of the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad,
shall be paid. Ho further ordered that the
commissioners of those counties proceed to
collect the tax for this purpose, amounting to
, $4,500, within sixty .days, but subsequently
modified the order by extending the time for
collection until autumn. The Aurora says:
"The Massachusetts and Southern Construction
Co., and the bondholder, Marston, of
Philadelphia, have scored another victory.
Judge Bond has decided that the coupons,
which are negotiable paper in the hands of innocent
parties, must be paid and our county
attorney, J. L. Webb, representing Gidney &
Webb, admitted the bona Jides of the transac
tion, that the bonds wore legally voted and
issued by the commissioners."
A JOURNALISTIC VISITOR.
Mr. W. H. Herrington, the Southern correspondent
of the Detroit Free Press, arrived here
last Friday and remained over until Monday,
when he took the afternoon train for Columbia.
Mr. Herrington is traveling through the South
for the purpose of writing up the progress,
development and natural resources of thccountry,
and in this work is accomplishing a great
deal of good by placing beforo the readers of
the Free Press the facts as they relate to the
South, politically, socially and financially.
Mr. Herrington has written a letter to his paper
from Yorkville, giving his impressions of this
immediate section of the State, and we doubt
not it will have a good effect in the North-west,
where so many now are contemplating removal
to the more congenial Southern clime. Of the
fair-minded papers of the North and Northwest,
the Free Press has ever been foremost in
giving truthful articles on the South and her
institutions, aud ex-Governor Watts, of Alabama,
says that paper "has done more than
any other publication in this country to set
the South right before the world." The "Weekly i
Free Press, which is a distinctive publication (
from the daily, has a wide circulation in the (
United States and Canada, and tho paper is
also reprinted in England, where the circulation
is large. The articles cf Mr. Herrington <
on the South appear in the English edition. ]
While here. Mr. Herrinerton favorably im- I
pressed himself upon our people as an intel- [ i
ligent, liberal-minded gentleman. It is but 11
due to say that his visit to Yorkvillo was j
secured through the exertions of Mr. Sam M. .

iu the Court House, yesterday, pursuant to a :
call made by K. II. Glenn, county chairman,
the object being to take steps for calling a t
county convention to elect delegates to the
State convention, to bo held in Colnmbia on i
the 17th of May for tho purpose of electing del- .
egates to the Democratic National Convention, {
which will meet in St.,Louison tho 5th of Juno (
next. | ]
The meeting was called to order by County (
Chairman Glenn, and John A. Latta, secretary, j
culled the roll of members. A quorum an- 1
swered to the roll call as follows: Bethel, D. i
M. Wallace; Bullock's Creek, J. M. Sims; I
Hickory Grove, J. C. Chambers; Clover, D. J. |
Jackson; Fort Mill, T. G. Gulp; Blairsville, I

nellsvillo, F. D. Williams; Clay Hill, D. A. A. J
Watson; Rock Hill, Iredell Jones ; Yorkville,
John A. Latta.
The chairman explained the object of the
meeting, when
Iredell Jones moved that the county convention,
for the purpose set forth by the chairman, !
meet in the Court House at Yorkville, at 11 !
o'clock A. M., on Saturday, the 12th of May ;
next. .
The motion was unanimously carried.
Mr. Jones then moved that elections be held
in the various precincts on Saturday, May 5th,
between the hours of 2 and 5 P. M., for the
purpose of electing delegates to the county
convention, and that the precinct chairmen
appoint the managers of the precinct elections.
This motion was also carried.
It was also moved and carried that the county
chairman publish au official notice in the
newspapers of the county, giving the action of
the meeting, and appending thereto a statement
showing the number of delegates to
which each precinct is entitled in the county
convention.
The meeting then adjourned.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.
Although conventions of the Republican
party have been held in various counties of the
State, none has yet been held in York, nor is
it probable any will be held in this county.
Those that have been held were in reference
to the Presidential campaign. As to the Republican
prospects in the State the Columbia
correspondent of the News aud Courier says
under date of last Monday :
The reports from various counties in which
conventions have been held for the election of
delegates to the Republican State convention
indicate that the programme of the leaders, to
have the delegation to the national convention
uncommitted to any candidate for the Presidency,
is likely to be disturbed by the work
of the Sherman enthusiasts, who have been
laboring very hard and have secured the election
of many delegates committed to that
bloody shirt waver. State Chairman Brayton
does not concede that Sherman will capture
the convention, but expects there will be
quite a contest on the subject If the leaders
can secure an unpledged delegation they will
be in a position to make deals advantageous to
themselves. The convention will meet in the
hall of representatives at noon on the 1st of

The South the Successor of New t
England.?In his recent speech in New
York, James Itussell Lowell said: J]
"I confess I cannot take a cheerful view ; J
3f that New England I love so well when : r
her leading industries shall be gradually j
drawn to the South, as they irnallibly will i
ae, by the cheapness of labor there."
Undoubtedly the South is destined to j *
succeed New England in manufacturing i
interests. But cheapness of labor will not,
do the.sole, and not even the principal, j
'ause of this succession. It will be brought r
ibout, or come about, by reason of the in- 0
comparably superior advantages the South 8
ias in situation, in nearness to the fields of t:
cotton and the beds of ore, and in the per- a
oction of our climate. Whatever may 1
sring it to pass, it will surely be, and the f<
lear future will see its fulfllraent.-Cftwfevf- n

eight to ten feet in depth. For several
months no track has been broken through
this, the old stage route to Hartford. Only
