In fact so ; secure a fair distribution of the place tliorougldy convinced are persons of average Intelligence of the economy and utility of tliese cstaldisluncnts tliat every commonwealth in this great union of States is hastening to obtain these valuable auxiliaries to popular education. To be thoroughly useful, the Nor mal school must be a permanent insti tution, and to accomplish permanen cy, the State must found, endow and control all such establishments. They cannot be left to private enterprise. Eacli State must have its own Nor mal school or seminary for teachers, so that each may adopt a system uni form in application throughout its entire territory. We want men ami women who will engage in teaching, not as a make shift until they can find more profitable work, but who are willing to make it a lifelong pro fession and who will take a pride in furnishing the rising generation with the tools by which they can acquit themselves decently in the ordhiary affairs of life or carve their way to higher planes of moral and mental culture. Human life is so short and the won ders of the universe so intricate and immense, that unless we symtemati/.e and economise time, the hard neces sities of our existence exclude us from obtaining but an inlinitessi- mally small part of that knowledge which purifies and strengthens heart and mind and dignifies our humanity. We contend that South Carolina can be provided with a Normal school without increasing the present rate of taxation to any appreciable extent. The buildings known as the Citadel, and located at Charleston, have been returned to the State au thorities by the United States Gov ernment, and the present Legislature, at its regular session, with a view of getting rid of the importunities of certain interested parties, who have been chronic lobbyists for this mea sure ever since 1870, voted an appro priation and have re-established it as a military academy. In common with a large majority of our citizens, we see no earthly necessity for the ex istence of such an institution. If a young man is destined for the army .or navy, the National government provides the necessary schools, free of charge, hut if he is to engage in the or- idinary affairs of life we think it much more important tosrapjdy Ills brain with healthy mental and moral food than to stripe his pants and decorate his coat with brass buttons. We are constrained to regard this institution, which the tmfortuuate members of the Legislature ^|re bamboozled into establishing, as a one-horse exhibi- ti m of fuss and feathers, and a shame ful misapplication of the public funds. If the Legislature desired to make a larger appropriation to the cause of higher education, the State Univer sity was the proper place where the money should have been spent. There might have been some excuse for that; but there is none for 'tins drumming and fifeing tomfoolery. lu other words, we regard every dollar of the public funds flittered away on this so-called Military Academy as an un blushing robbery of the common schools. We therefore say, let the buildings be sold for what they will bring, and the price will be large, for the property is eligibly situated and valuable, and let the funds so obtained be applied to the erection and endowment of a State Normal school at Columbia, where a certain number of boys and girls from each C’ounty can be annually admitted, pot to be drilled how to march to the lone of drum and fife; but to acquire the knowledge necessary to equip them as competent instructors of young and benefactors of humanity. The funds obtained from the build ings, supplimented by an annual ap propriation equal to that now set apart for this drumming and fifeing busi ness, would be amply sufficient to give a State Normal school a splendid start, and even if found necessary to double the amount our neople would have the satisfaction of knowing that the money was going in a way which Mould confer the greatest good upon the greatest number. We earnestly invoke the press of the State to care fully investigate the expediency of this change and to direct the atten tion of onr people to the necessity for csiablishing a State Normal school. nounced himself a candidate grtss from the fifth district. —Senator Hill’s physicians say he may live three months but that he may die at any moment. —There were sixty-one deaths from yellow fever at Havana during the week ending last Saturday. —Jim Keene, now worth $30,000,000' of what was once other people’s ; money, failed in the newspaper busi- j ness. —An order was received in Charles- j ton yesterday for $ 100,000 Confederate! bonds and three dollars per thousand I was ottered for the article. —Tire New York Star neatly re marks: “It is quite true, Robeson may claim the honor of being called the fatiierof American knavery.” —A lovely daughter of Mr. Samuel Crosby, of Hampton County, myste- hreaks the heart of the is the fact that when he is to the skies in a aolden ; on be State ticket among the difierent - Hously disappeard on the 8th instant, : sections, and demand the ser\ ices of .

Palmer, a native of some remote re gion in the North, but for some time past a resident of Aiken, takes occa sion to write as follows: “I was much pleased with your comments on the assassination of our friend, Col. Blair. I think a little of your warning will do the Bourbons good, if they will take heed in time. The miserable press throughout the State have encouraged this spirit of assassination of all political oppo nents.

The wholesale offensive as sertion is made without a single ex- cepthfo, that miserable press throughout the State” encourage as sassination, so we cannot doubt that Mr. Palmer means business, and will soon appear on the stump with Cash, McLane, Baskins, Bussell and other turbulent spirits, to denounce and misrepresent the decency and civili zation of South Carolina.

It is 228 feet in length by 48 feet in width, and will have a capacity of one hundred tons. He looks for the flood by the middle of October. In the meantime lie is making arrangements for the re- blo. The soft or connective tissue has been eaten away, and only such tough, elastic substances as compose the walls of the artery are left intact. What is left of the tongue is attached to the right side by a very slender lig ament, and the ■constant fear is felt that it will become deftiohed and tall into the patient’s throat when asleep, and thus end his sufferings, while sufficient strength might exist fora further continuance of the contest with the dread destroyer. His mouth is kept filled with absorbent and anti septic cotton, which is .' v equently changed, as is the dressing on the outside. No internal remedy is now given, nor has any been administered since the abandonment of the French “can cer cure,” which consisted in the in jection into the circulation of purified carbolic acid, the object being to de stroy the cancerous germs in the blood. The final change, it is now thought, will come from sheer exhaustion. If tlie morphine was suspended lie would soon sink from the elfeetsof the pain. Now all that can be done is'to alle viate the suffering and prolong the few days, which, in spite of his terrible- condition, he seems to prize niOi^ than those upon w hich he gained his glory. i Make Haste Slowly* Editor of The Aiken Recorder: Few, very few, young men of the 1 present day take kindly t<< the advice ' to “make baste slowly” to get rich. Perhaps they may see about them i those who have made their fortunes already, and yet who are comparative ly young, and they ask why may they not tiy to do likewise? Ah, young j men, you who are just launching | your bark upon tlie boisterous wave of life, with bright anticipations, may j Well consider this fact—the ability to , keep, as well as the ability to get, is I an important factor in making one’s j fortune. It seems that to become a successful business man requires a period of probation, as it were; j at all events it requires this probation ; to develop those business principles i that bring their possessor thousands. I never' ^ read in a New York paper recently 1 ! an article in which it was stated that ! I the late Moses Taylor, of tliat city, | spent the first ten years of his life— j mercantile—as a clerk, with one firm, j For seven years he received no com- j pensation whatever; for the remain-! | ing three only live hundred dollars a i year. Was he not a bright example j of learning to labor and to wait and of j making haste slow ly to get rich ? You ! might remark , young friend, what patience! What plodding! True, ‘ but he had his reward. Before death laid his “unequal hand” upon him his property amounted to forty millions or more. This way of rushing headlong and hastening to get rich lias ruined more young men, 1 will venture to say, than any one thing that can be men tioned. One grave mistake a great many young men make is hastening upon clerkships in the city and elsewhere long before they are prepared for it by education. Next fall promises to be a busy season with the merchants, and it would be well for every ambi tious young man to consider well be fore taking a step while unprepared for it, lest in some future day they may be led to exclaim with tliat ge nius, Byron— Few are my years, and yet I feel The world was ne’er designed for me; Ah! why do darkening shades con ceal The hour when man must cease to be?

JAMES E. DAVIS, Plaintilf’s Attorney. [seal] W. M. JORDAN, c.c. i\ The recent convention in New York of the cotton seed crushers, which was in session for three days last week, serves to draw attention to the remarkable manner in which the minor products of this country may be utilized, and in which new and remunerative employment for capital^portant ground? may be given by them. It is highly desirable in every country that indus- variety shall afford an everwidening field for labor and skill, not less tha. for capital, and that even should de pression prevail in one department in others oL-a diffiyent nature jouq? tor full activity win be found. Few people here in the North are aware that a new and important industry, that of cotton seed crushing, lias been added to the list of successful Ameri can enterprises in late years; they will be surprised, doubtless, to learn that tlie crushers have now no fewer than sixty mills completed for working all over the country, but more especially in tlie far South, and that eight or ten are now building. The mills are lim ited in the South to cotton producing regions lying immediately on the line of the railroads and navigable rivers, as the seed is bulky and the cost of transportation is heavy. With tlie development of the railroad system in the cotton belt must come an ex tension of tlie cotton crushing, present only a very small percentage of the seed produced is crushed. _ _ in the article by the Rev Mr. Hay, in The Recorder of tlie Again, tries should be multiplied so that tlielF^oth, I see stated that “they do not propose to publish any minutes, etc.,” Tiiis, I think is a great mistake. I am informed that since the last eon- ntion there was a call on the presi- id secretary of the Just eonven- n for a list of the Sunday-schools sending delegates and attending that convention, and which neither of them could furnish. This was not very creditable to them as otticers, and* I trust that a full record will not only be kept, but minutes of the pro ceedings published and distributed, and kept for reference hereafter.

The views of the Greenville News are so identical with our own on this important subject that we reproduce the following extract from a recent leading editorial in that admirable journal: “It is easy to read the sigus*>f the times. A storm is gathering and gaining strength. It began in 1878, was stronger but unfelt in 1880, and is now showing itself. In the political air, as in the physical atmosphere, Oppressive stillness and quiet precedes The three products obtainable from the seed for purposes of commerce are oil, the meal and the cake. The refined oil has passed into use largely for table, culinary and domestic pur poses, preference being given it fre quently over butter or lard. Notwith standing the fact that Italy, two years ago, put a prohibitive duty on this oil when imported, and had, previous to that time, taken more than fifty per cent, of the annual yield, the price for the oil during tlie last year and up to the present hour has ruled, it is stated, about twenty-five per cent, higher than it was prior to the impo sition of the duty. This fact points at least to an increased home con sumption, rendering the manufactu rers of this oil independent of foreign demand. England, it is said, had lately taken a few lots of oil, but is returning them, the reshipnient at current prices here giving a fair mar gin of profit. It is confidentially pre dicted that, haring cut off’ supplies of this oil, Italy will find her export trade of olive oil seriously hampered and curtailed. The cotton seed meal, residue i from the crushing process, has proved | to be an excellent fertilizer, and a place is claimed for it abreast of guano. It is considerably patronized for fertilizing cotton and corn, and stimulates effectively some of the poorest soil of New England. It has been tried on tobacco with favorable results, and may eventually become an item of export for tropical tobacco district.., such as those of the West Indies. The meal is likewise used us a-feed and fattener, but hitherto tirs meal worked into cake has been iii greater request. Immense quantities of cake have been regularly exported to Liverpool'and other British ports, but there is now a tendency on the part of mill proprietors to dispose of their meal in this country instead of sending it away in cake. Much of the meal has gone into the New England States. In England the demand for cake has led to the erection of several mills, and while England has beei>, and is still, a heavy buyer of cake from this country, it is thought that our local consumption will be a serious niatter,to English consumers.
