of the Columbia Female College; Pus
Worthy Ratriarch C. M. Douglas; Pas
Worthy Patriarch J. A. Elkins, and Mr
John F. Britton. For an hour and a hah
the large audience gave their entire utten
tion to the speaker It is probable tha
never beforo has such a lecture upon tern
perance been delivered here, except, per
naps, nine years ago when Mr. Carswell \va-
here. The style was entirely different fr< m
those temperance lectures the Columl a
people have been treated to of late yeui .
From the first to the hist the lecturer e -
gaged the attention of Ids hearers by inte -
spersing the most amusing anecdotes re
lated in the most artistic manner. Being i
capital mimic was a great assistance to him
and the audience was frequently made t<
laugh very heartily. Some of the mon
sober-mfndcd'In'tfte'hqusothought that tin
lecturer caused’too much levity and that h;
dwelt for too short a space of time upon tin
scHous side. Another lec ture will be deliv
ered in the Op o ra House to-morrow evening
by Mr. Carswell. Mr. Cramer was public!?
thanked for Ids liberality in allowing tin
USiJ of his house for next to nothing.

day, 21st; Prosperity, Tuesday, 22nd;

Thurstlay, 24th; Ninety-Six, Frida?,
25th, aud Greenwood, Saturday, 2Gtb.
Those arrangements will be kept
unless prevented by some providen
tial cause. Mr. Carswell will lecture
at each of these points, and Mr. Doug
las will perform the practical work o!
organizing new ^iyisjonq. The list ot
new appointments will be p.ihjishei’
each week.
The desire to hear Mr. Cqrsiyell
is bo great that letters and postals
are pouring in upon the Grand
Worthy Patriarch, from al! puyts ot
the Slate, asking for appointments.
To these we would sr,y th;,t every
effort will be mode to reach the appli
cants, hut it will b« impossible to reach
all who {,av«s expressed a desire t<
hear him. No towns off the lines ot
railroad will be visited except Edge
field, ‘{'lie exception is made in this-
caseWcause it is believed that a good,
opening exists at that important cen
tre for the establishment of a splendid
Division. We sincerely trust that
great good will result from this work
and that the order of Sons of Temper
ance will number on its roll a large
increase of new divisions as a practi
cal result.
Since the above was in type we find
the following account of Mr. Cars
well’s lecture cn Saturday night at
the polmi^bi^ Op^ra House in the
News and Courier of Sunday:
•‘A light rain during the first of tin
evening prevented a large audiencr
from attending the temperance lect
ure of Mr. Carswell at the Opera
House to-uight, but while the housi
was uot crowded, quite a fair numbei
of persons were present. A bettci
temperance lecture has never been
heard iii Columbia, and it is probable
that ' a ‘ comedy play lias not foi
many a dav amused an audience as
much or" caused so much hearty
laughter as Mr. Carswell’s anecdotes
and mimickings, with which he illus
trated and Impressed his points and
arguments upbn his hearers. Mr.
Carswell was rtri^c paid fifty dollars a

of over twelve hundred miha

Our old friend, tlie enterprising Au
gusta Chronicle, on Monday, February
14th, accomplished a signal feat of
journalism, which gloriously illus
trates tlie spirit and vitality of the
Southern press. A special edition of
many thousand copies filled with
matters pertaining to Columbia was
stricken off, a special tiain chartered
at an expense, it is sujd, of $oOU, and
was run thpoqgh from* Augusta to
Charlotte, N. C., a distance of 195
miles, in five hours and a half. The
edition was dUlributed gratuitously
along the entire liqe, creating a de
cided sensation. In it appeared a
splendid letter from Mr. J. It. Randall
descriptive of Columbia, and a care
fully prepared review pf its trade and
resouices by Major i,. Ransom,
showing that Columbia has increased
5,000 in populatiou in the past five
years, and that the trade of the city
last year aggregated the handsome
sum of 11,850,090.
Yesterday the Chronicle published
a splendid Charleston edition, con
taining some admirable work b3’ Mr.
Stanhope Sams and Mr. T. J. Burney,
the general agent, and a liberal dis
play of advertisements b?’ the business
men of Cftarleston. Such enterprise
speaks well for the business manage

THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO.
Spcakee Carlisle Spoken of as Man
ning's Successor.
Washington. February 15.—The
impression is gaining ground here
that John G. Carlisle will be appoint
ed secretary of the Treisury. The
reasons for this opinion are doubtless
based upon the singular concurrence
of important considerations, all of
which favor suc-b a selection.
Mr. Carlisle would give the Admin
istration a closer relation to tbe
House of Representatives. In mak
ing up his Cabinet Mr. Cleveland took
three gentlemen from tlie Senate and
not one from the House, although the
House lias been the seat of Democrat
ic powef iiud its leaders have been ac
customed to djrect and control public
affairs.
Mr. Carlisle lyas an unequalled ac
quaintance with the personnel! of the
House, which lias twice expressed its
confidence in him hy electing him to
tie .Speakership.
Mr. Carlisle is a representative ol
the Western Democracy; was horn
in the West, has always lived there,
and has had his ptihlju training as a
representative qf Western Ctiiistilqeii-
cio«.
This question of locality is an im
portant con ^deration, for the major
ity of the Democratic members of the
House reside in tlie valley of the Mis
sissippi, and the prejudices against
an Eastern control of the treasury
make a formidable and often an in
surmountable obstacle lo harmonious
relations.
Mr. Carlisle has also high qualifica
tions for this iniportant position. He
lias unusual capacity for problems of
taxation and finance. Ho is imbued
with the nfost advanced and enlight
ened thought qpon those subjects,
and his administration wquld begui
ded by the liberal principles long
professed by Democratic statesmen
and the application of which is now
sure lo be demanded by the impera
tive requirements of business and pol
itics. Mr. Carlisle has another indis
pensable qualification. He has the
Confidence of the country. TneVo is
no doubt us to his integrity. He has
also the con fid cnee qf the business
community, which believes in his
moderation, prudence and wisdom.
There is a belief here that the chan
ges in the Cabinet will not be limited
to the treasury department. It is ex
pected that Mr. Garland will resign,
and there are rumors of other re^ig
nations, i do not profess to have any
definite knowledge as to these reports
hut there are certain indications
which persuade ipe that they are not
improbable.
he held in imprisonment, he may, by
giving to the other party five day's
notice of an application for his dis
charge, on the ground that he is un-
ahle to give the securilv required by
law, or to produce tlie property, and
shail satisfy the court of this fact, he
shall he discharged from custody.
Both Messrs. Miller and Warren
were put upon the stand and they fes*
ljfied that Tarver had visited their
place on tlie night in question and
had won between $100 and $110 and
left. In a short while he returndH,
seemingly intoxicated with his good
fortune, and lost what he had won
and about $450 besides. This money
the\ T had either lost or spent befut'e
beii'g arrested hy the sheriff. They
had tried togiye bond, hut were lia
ble to secure it.
Robeit Tarver, the man who claims
to have lost the money, was then put
upon the stand. His statement was,
as stated in this cr*rrespon<}*mee a few-
days ago, iljat his father had entrusted
him with $850 to pay some bills. This
money he gambled off* against faro
without the know ledge of his father,
Who is now seeking to recover it.
Mr. Roberson Tarver, the father of
Robert, was then put upon the stand.
He testified that he had entrusted his
3011 with the money, and supposed his
debts had been paid i;ntjl he received
:> notice from the fleqrgia Railroad
that a note he owed there had not
been paid. He then came to the city'
and learned the facts wf the case,
when he employe-! Messrs. Tutt &
Lockhart to recover the money. When,
upon being asked to return the money,
the gamblers refused, he swore out a
writ of Hover, upon which they were
arrested by the Sheriff’.
When Sir. Tarver left the stand
Judge Eve stated that the evidence
had disclosed tlie fact that a gaming
house had been kept in this city, and
he ordered the Sheriff to take Messrs.
Miller and Warren in custody for run
ning a gaming house, and Robert
Tarver for playing at tlie house. „Hc‘
also ordered Solicitor Cohen to prose
cute them for gambling.
The argument then commenced,-af
ter which Judge Eve reserved his <ie
cisiou until Wednesday, saying that
he desired further time to consider the
case.
It is the general opinion that Tarver
has gotten himaelf into somewhat oi
a muss, as there is; hardly the shadow
of a chance of his procuring his money,
and he is to be tried for gambling. It
was also stated around the court room
that in all probabi it.v |ie would tie
indicted for larceny after trust, which
is clearly proven by his »wq and his
father’s statements. If so he will fare
badly, ami will probably in future
never he intoxicated with
luck.

and sent R to the Southern Christian

space. It is not surprising that Mrs.
Chapin has fallen into this line,
for her course in the recent past
has inclined very mueh in that
direction. There is gratification, how
ever, in the fact that she lias suc

Out on Bail.
Blaine’s New Hope.
{Special to the New York Herald.)
Augusta, Mi:., February 15.—It
has leaked out that Mr. Blaine is en
deavoring to 111 ike personal and party
capital out oi the coast defences and
tlie increase of the navy appropria
tions.
Blain believes that the country- is
ripe for prompt action on the part oi
pongress, and he thinks that fai ur
to consent to a comprehensive systt m
of fortifications, as well as a consider
able enlargement of the navy-, will re
act on the Democratic party.
With this, idea in his mind he has
passed tlie word to hit; followers at
Washington to do all in their power
to cause that class of the Democratic
Congressmen who oppose liberal ap
propriations to persevere ir, their
course, and to allow the proposed
measures nov,- helote Congress logo by
default.
The exact manner in which the as
tute aspirant for tlie Presidency ex
pects his scheme to l^e accomplished
.iocs not appear, but of tlie truth of the
above statement there is no question.
It is understood here that the speech
of Mr. Reed, ot Maine, in tlie House
of Representatives a few days since,
in which he challenged the Democrats
on the subject of coast defences, was in
accordance with Mr. IRgihg’s plan ol
action.
Mr. Blaine utterly refuses to ex
press himself to newspaper represen
tatives. When the card of a niember
of the press is sent to him he writes on
tlie back, "Not in. J. G. B.”
The Largest Farm in the World.
From Inc SI. Louis Republican.
In the extreme northwest corner of
Louisiana lies tlie largest producing
farm in the world. It runs 100 miles
north aud south and miles east
and west, and is owned and operated
by a syndicate of Northern capitalists.
Their general manager. J. B. Watkins,
gives an interesting account of this
gigantic plantation, which throws the
great D.ilrymple farm in Dakota into
the shade completely*.
"The 1,50J,Q00 acres of our tract,”
Mr. Watkins gujd, "was purchased in
1883 frqm tlie State ot Louisiana and
from the United Stqtes Government.
At that tiipe it was vast grazing land
