Tnnrsd?y Morning, May 20th, 1889. HOW TO EAISE WATERMELONS. Mr. B. F. Stairiey, of Greenville, one of the most scientific and successful planters of this re? gion, digs holes two feet across, eighteen inches deep, and twelve feet apart, fills them with stable: manure, and cover it (the manure) lightly with forest mould mixAi. with road sand. He also adds charcoal dust to absurb the sun.'s rays, and some tiroes a little guano. On theso bills he plants the seed; never works amongst the Tines when the dew is on; never disturbs the-vines; but does not allow a weed ;o grow. By such culture he gets melons weighing from twenty-five to forty-five pounds. DAVIDSON COLLEGE. We are indsbted to a young friend, Mr. J. B. Smith, of thi 3 county, for cards of invitation to attend the Anuual Celebration of the "Ugly Club" of Davidson College, N. C, on the 24th of June next, and the Annual Representatiwi of the Philan? thropise and Lumenean Societies of that institu? tion. Among the committees and orators for these occasions, we observe the names of sevtral stu? dents from this State. It would afford us great pleasure to be present at these Commencement exercises, but we will be debarred the privilege. The reputation of Davidson College is not inferior to that of any similar institution in the South, and we are rejoiced to know of its success and advance xnent. The Universities of the two Carolinas have received their death-blows, we fear, from the in? considerate legislation of the present day, and it is incumbent upon the white people to sustain other institutions, not fettered by these unwhole? some laws. It is morally impossible that the two- ] races are to be commingled in the walks of educa? tion, and sooner or latter these progressive ideas must topple to the ground. In the meantime, such institutions as Davidson College will flourish and grow apace. THE ELECTION HEXT TUESDAY. It will be remembered that Tuesday next, 25th instant, the voters of this county are called upon to elect a School Commissioner and Coroner to fill vacancies. For the latter office, there is only a single candidate, who is the regular nominee of the Democratic party. For School Commissioner, besides the regular nominee?who is a gentleman of the highest attainments and best qualifications for the position?there is an independent candi? date. We wish to mako a few remarks concerning the importance of preserving an united front in this and every other contest for office. We are aware of the prejudices in the minds of many against party nominations, and we are also aware that during the past few weeks these prejudices have been industriously wrought upon by inter? ested persons. Now, tie sum and substance ef what we want to tell the white people of this coun? ty is simply this, that by unity and harmony among themselves there is nothing easier than to retain the power in their own hands, but that a breach once made and the party vote thoroughly divided, it will require several years to secure again what may be wilfully thrown away. Are the white people prepared to take this step, and either by their indifference as to going to the polls or by directly encouraging defections and divisions* virtually accomplish the defeat of the party ? We think not, but desire to pui every man upon bis guard, and ask him to consider well when tempted to cast a vote outside of the regular nominations, especially when the gentleman selected are in ev? ery respect qu alified to discharge the duties. The Democratic party of Anderson cannot afford to cast aside its record during the past twelve or fourteen months, nor fritter away its life and energies in considering the personal friendship or private prejudices of its members. We must stand together, and prepare for a great victory next year. Divi? ded now, we shall fail then. Let every man re? flect, and then do his duty. THE PHtEKIX AGAIN. The Columbia Phoenix of Friday lost contains the following: The publisher of the Anderson Intelligencer, for reasons best known to himself, is endeavoring to make capital out of a paragraph published in the Phoenix several weeks ago. The explanation of the matter was deemed satisfactory : but the bonst that his paper was the first ?' to condemn this man? ifest approval of the Governor's appointments," must be taken as an excuse for these repeated dis? sertations. Without specifying the object aimed at by the Anderson publisher, ?c simply commend to his especial consideration the homely adage, " be just." The publisher of the Columbia Phoenix, for rea? sons best known to himself, has suppressed the truth concerning the endorsement by that pap?r of Scott's ringed-streaked appointments. Ac? cepting the "homely adage," we will endeavor to be just, even though it makes " the galled jade wince." The explanation which he "deemed sat? isfactory" was nothing mora nor less than a sub? terfuge, which was fully exposed last week. Before our first article was published, we re? ceived satisfactory evidence that the endorsement of the Governor's appointments was written by a professed Republican, who was at that time edit? ing the Phoenix! We have undoubted authority for declaring that the author subsequently, in private conversation, attempted to defend the article, ad? mitting that he was the author and endeavoring to bolster up its expressions. This is the whole truth, and while seeking to "be just," we have simply rendered " unto Casar the things that are Cassar's." Will the publisher of the Phoenix deny that his paper was conducted for a time by the Commissioner of Agriculture, and that the ap? proval of Gov. Scott's nppointraents was written by that same individual ? Where is the " typo? graphical error" in that? One more sentence, and we are done with tho little sheet. When it is asserted that we have an ulterior object in view, or that we wish to " make capital " out of this matter, or that there was aqy boasting in our last article, we pronounce such assort-lons wholly gra? tuitous and necessarily false. This year the Fourth of July falls on Sunday. The usual custom in such cases is to observe the day after the anniversary, which would be Monday, but some of the New York journals aro in favor of keeping Saturday, the third, instead. The advan? tage of the recommendation is that if Saturday be fcept as a holiday Sunday would follow as a day of j ?rest, and the new week would be entered upon un? broken. ? Among the decisions lately pronounced by (he Supreme Court of this State is one that affects the interests of a large number of persons through? out the State. It has been decided that so much of the Act of 1861?continued in force 18G(i?a? allowed interest on open accounts in actions sus? pended by the Stay Law, is unconstitutional. The apiaioa was pronounced by the Chief Justice* LOCAL NEWS IN BELEF. Court.?The regular term of Court begins on Monday next at this place. Jndge Orr will pre? side during the Sessions business. When that is concluded, Judge Carpenter is expected, to take his place.. Destroyed by Fire.?We learn that; the resi? dence of Maj. J. M. Adams, five miles west of Pendieton-, was- destroyed by fire on Friday, last. Tho fire -was not discovered until the roof was fail? ing in,, and. the family barely had time to escape the devouring flames, rescuing scarcely anything, not even wearing apparel. The origin of the fire is supposed to be accidental The Weather and Crops.?The season has been unusually wet, and crops are very backward. The cold weather has injured cotton to a considerable extent, and we hear of many persons who have plowed up entire fields and planted corn. The wheat crop is promising enough so far, and an average yield is expected, unless damaged by rust hereafter. A Reliable Mas..?For sometime past the eard of Mr. Robsok, of Charleston, ha? appeared in this paper. We cheerfully endorse him as a reliable and trustworthy gentleman, attentive to business, and alive to the interests of his friends. Any of our people wiebiwg- to know such a man, engaged in the commission business, we eordially advise them to make Mr. Robson's acquaintance. New Establishment.?Too advertisement of Messrs. Braddt & Co., which appeared for the first time last we^k, announces that tkey are pre? pared to furnish, housekeepers with a general as , sortaent of Tin/ware, at reasonable prices. They likewise keep on hand an elegant variety of Cook? ing Stoves? which are now regarded as indispensa? ble in every family. Remember their location, east room of the Masonic building, and give them a call. Lager Beer.?There are few persons, when the taste for Lager Beer is acquired, who do not relish that beverage and esteem it highly. A pure, un? adulterated article is not often found, in these days of general swindling, but we are pleased to inform the public that Mr. John C. Seeoers, of Columbia, is prepared to furnish the genuine arti? cle of his own manufacture. His advertisement will be found in another column, and the attention of dealers throughout this section is directed to his establishment. New Stork in Columbia.?The advertisement of Mr. W. D. Love, in another column, informs the citizens of the up-country that he has opened a large stock of goods, to which he invites the at? tention of dealers nnd others. We are assured that Mr. Lote is prepared to offer great induce? ments to buyers, both in styles and prices. He is eligibly located in the Columbia Hotel building, on Main street, and visitors to the capital arc re? spectfully invited to give his stock an examination before purchasing elsewhere. Pic Nic at Williamston.?We are in receipt of a polite note, authorized by the Committee of Ar? rangements, inviting us to attend a Pic Nic at Williamston on next Saturday, 22nd instant, and also gi ring us the authority to extend the invita? tion to others. This privilege is accepted with pleasure, and our friends will eonsider themselves invited, without further notice. Several speakers are expected and a band of music will be in at? tendance. Why not make it a gala day for the young folks of Anderson, by securing an extra .'rain a.nd obtaining a lively party to attend the Pic Nic ? Walters & Baker.?These gentlemen appear before our readers in a series of attractive adver? tisement*, offering a large and elegant stock of drugs,, medicines and fancy-goods, besides every? thing to be found in a first-class establishment of that kind. But they have appeared unto the edi? tor and proprietors of the Intelligencer in quite a different role. Instead of trying to sell their goods to this establishment, they have shipped us a box, with ::heir compliments, and evinced singular care and good taste in the selection of the articles pre? sented. It is unnecessary to specify the goods, since they were acceptable to the "better halves" and produced only a pleasant commotion in the respective families. We make our profoundest bow to these worthy gentlemen, and bespeak for them a liberal share of patronage. -? For the Anderson Intelligencer. Fn t end Hott : I have been wailing with much anxiety to see an official report of the proceedings of the late " South Carolina Agricultural Conven? tion." I hare it now in this week's Intelligencer, and concluds it would be well to call it by any other name. Tour correspondent, some time since, urged through your columns the holding of a Con? vention for the purpose of reviving our old State Agricultural Society, and much regrets that cir? cumstances prevented his attendance. A resolution was offered by Mr. Boineat, and adopted aa follows: Resolved, That the original Agricultural Society of South Carolina be revived, with its constitution and by-laws, &e. Now, sir, my main object in writing this com? munication is to ascertain the position of the old life members of the South Carolina Agricultural Society. Are they to be forgotten or thrown in the shade by this newly organized Agricultural, Mechanical, Educational, Manufacturing and Im? migrating Society, composed of any professions more than farmers and planters ? In all the resolutions I see not a word said about the old life members, who have undoubtedly an interest in the remaining property of the old Society. But there are resolutions (hat person* desiring to become members of this new (not re? vived) Society, shall make application to our old friend Aiken, and if found worthy, it seems from the resolution of Col. J. S. Richardson, may pay up and become members. Well, Mr. Editor, circumstances which none of us could control have placed it out of the power of moro than one of the old life members to becoms members of the rtvived Society, and therefore they must " stand down the hall." Yours truly, S. Pendleton, S. C. --<?> ? The Washington Intelligencer says the negro is as much a slave as he ever was. Enrolled in Loyal Leagues, bound up to obedience by oaths, controlled in the service of political masters, his subjection is the same, except that his boss is changed. That has been the case to a very con? siderable extent, but the negroes are beginning to find out that they have masters still, and very un? profitable ones, and are asserting their freedom all over the South. GEN". SHAFT'S ADMINISTRATION. The "Washington, correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette indulges in the following speculations con? cerning the present attitude of the administration: I have trustworthy intelligent authority for say? ing that the Cabinet of President Grant is not a unit upon any. question of statesmanship or ad? ministration, and that a thorough reorganization may be expected shortly. The reasons are obvi? ous. The President's advisers were selected upon grounds unknown to the geniusof our institutions and even inconsistent with the practice heretofore prevailing?that of recognizing party interests and control. He appointed one Minister (Borie) avow? edly for the reason that he had beaded a subscrip? tion list to furnish the General with a. palace in Philadelphia.. On similar peculiar grounds he exhausted his power to install Stewart, of New York, as Seoretary of the Treasury. The Attor? ney-General isknowuto have been appointed be? cause of his relationship to the "Dent family," and the Secretary of War, a personal friend, was relied upon-to-furnish brains for the misshapen body of the Administration. Mr. Rawlins, by t he way, is the onJy man in the Government that has any pretensions to statesmanship, and his availa? bility is seriously damaged by the influence of the Lieutenant-General, Sherman. Mr. Boutwell, a weak and vacillating politician, was forced upon the President, by Sumncr and Wilson after the defeat of Mr. Stewart, by the blundering of the President and the machinations of the Seuate. Fish was thought to be the only man of the slightest note who would carry out Washbome's programme of foreign appointments. He now re/uses to do it I Admiral Porter will not submit to the dictation of the Secretary of the Navy. And so they ;go upon mere routine points of routine administration With such an administralron what could be ex? pected of comprehensive views of our domestic or foreign relations? The Administration, it is seen, has no policy in respect to our finances, deplora? ble as they are, with gold at 138. I was informed to-day by a gentleman closely connected with ex? isting banking institutions, that Boutwell's views were not only destructive Lo them, but opposed by a majority of the Cabinet, and could not prevail. Yet Grant, as things now stand, is wholly power? less to prevent their consummation. In other words, he cannot comprehend " the situation." The same line of remark will apply to other and, perhaps, more important matters. I have very good authority for saying, that, the Secretary of State stands singly, but manfully, up to a show of neutral conduct in. respect to Cuba. I under? stand his views are these: That, the "national debt of the Cuban Republic" cannot, at this mo? ment, be less than two or three hundred millions (?her stock is quoted in most of the gold markets of the world at about 5 cents on the dollar). By the time we shall " recognize," and " annex " her, through the " secession " process, the debt (which must be saddled upon us) will reach by a very slight inflation, to an unknown quantity. He thinks, therefore, that a more economical means of acquiring Cuba would be by purchaso from the original holders. And so in regard to the British possessions in North Aroerica. I verily believe that there is not a single man in rbe Cabinet, except Grant and Bo? rie, who i^ willing lo go for these frozen regions. But such perplexing questions may bring us into trouble, for this reason alone, if none other, that the Presidetit is as stubborn as a bull, and at the same time as obvious of consequences as an ox. With a Cabinet pulling to the four points of the compass, what may be apprehended ? "Tub Radical Party the Most Coriicpt that Evr.ii Cursed the Lax p."?The above caption is from an article of the New York ?from which we copy the following condensed paragraph : "The fact has become patent that the Republi? can parly is the most corrupt that ever cursed our land. During the war its leaders fell upon the national treasury and the public credit like so many ravenous wolves. Their jobs and jobberies in the way of army contracts, in the sale of rotten old hulks for transports, in the building of new war vessels that proved shells or abortions, and in everything connected with supplies including provisions, clothing, forage, hospital stores, and so on to the end of the catalogue, for the use of t!ie army and navy, were enough to appal any other than the Ameiican people. These depraved and hungry leaders, with appetites for the spoils of office still lingering in their insatiable maws, have now fastened upon the Senate of the United States, and, with an nvariciousness that spurns all compromise, rtnson and control, demard. that no appointment shall be made without their having a finger in the selection. In the homely phrase of a Western Senator, they are persistently ?dingd?ng ing' every member of that body ; and, it is morti? fying to acknowledge, they have in that body friends and confreres as corrupt as themselves, who are ready and arc employed to do their bid? ding in making Indian treaties, allowing enormous grants of land for private purposes, and engaging in other scandalous practices, besides encouraging fraudulent appointments to office." Am Line Railroad.?A public meeting of the citizens of Greenville was held in the court house, on Tuesday last, to consider the question of the Air Line Railroad enterprise. J. H. Goodwin, Esq., was called to the chair, and W. T. Shumate requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman briefly stated that the object of the meeting was to consider the importance of buildingthe Air Line Railroad from Atlanta, Ga., to Charlotte, N. C, via Greenville, S. 0. Hon. W. P. Price, a member of the Legislature of Georgia, being present, was requested to address the meeting, which he did in a forcible manner, setting forth the great advan? tages of the road; that the city of Atlanta had subscribed $300,000, and the State of Georgia $12.000 per mile, to complete the road to the South Carolina line. Afler the conclusion of Mr. Price's remarks, General Kasley offered sundry resolutions, looking to the carrying out of the objects of the meeting. After the adoption of the resolutions, the meeting adjourned to sale-day in June. New York, May 17.?The Tribune stockholders have abolished the office of managing editor, giv? ing exclusive control to Grccley. There is much excitement in Wallstreet, incon? sequence of the failure of a German banking firm, Schepcler & Co., who arc largely short, of gold. The general estimate of their short contracts on gold is S8.0DO,000. It is also understood that they were short of Government bonds, and had out a considerable amount of bills on exchange. Ex? citement, confusion and failure has caused an un? settled feeling in all departments. The gold mar? ket was the first to feel the effect, the rush to buy carrying the markets up to 4-], but soon after? wards declined to 41 J. Schepcler & Co. were large shippers, of petroleum, produce and provisions, and heavy dealers in gold, stocks and bonds for Eu? rope; and nlso had extensive credits in London and Bremen. Their liabilities arc extensively distribu? ted on this fide. -** ROW amo.nu the charleston ALHKBMCK.?The Charleston papers contain lengthy accounts of a disgraceful row among the Aldermen, at the mee? ting of the City Council on Friday last. Headed by the two Mackeys, the scalawags made an onset against the carpet-baggers, including Mayor Pills bury, and the contest was terrible. Otic of the Mackey's gave notice that he should present arti? cles of impeachment against the Mayor at the next meeting of Council. Another scalawag called a carpet-bag Alderman an official thief, to which the latter replied that his opponent was a highway thief. Whereupon, the scalawag made for him, and the redoubtable carpet-bagger patted his breast significantly, telling him to " como on, he was ready." The whole scene is described as dis? graceful and confusing. The room was crowded with white men and negroes, principally the lat? ter, who enjoyed the scene amazingly, "clapping their hands and stamping their feet whenever any? thing spicy was said." Members denounced each other and the Chair in the most violent manner, while the Mayor was powerless to preserve order. This exhibition of the " happy family " will doubt? less be repcatedat intervals. This fight occurs over the spoils of office, always a fruitful sourco of disturbance and contention. - -o. - ?

The Protestant Episcopal Convention, after a session of three days in Charleston, adjourned on Friday last to meet in Abbeville on the second Thursday in May, 1870. ? Admiral John Randolph Tucker, formerly of the Confederate, now of the Peruvian Navy, arrived in Petersburg, Va., on Tuesday last. He visits the United States, we understand, on important busi? ness. ? Considerable interest was excited in Rich? mond on Saturday by a statement that the United States Grand Jury had found indictments against several office-holders for perjury in taking the test oath after having aided the rebellion. ? Mrs. Pettigrew King, of South Carolina, has been appointed a regular clerk in the office of the Superintendent of the Postal Money System at Washington.

Williams, of Yorkville, is the paten? tee of a new invention, in the shape of a ventila? ting churn, Which performs the difficult and labo? rious operation of making butter in from three to ten minutes, by simply turning a crank, which a child can easily manage. ? A correspondent of the Louisville Medical Journal cites the case of a woman in Maury coun? ty, Tennessee, who is thirty-four years of age and is the mother of twenty-three children! She has had six single children, twins seven times, and last month triplets. ? A Danville correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says that the negroes of that town are rapidly moving South. Fifty of them left a night or two ago for Atlanta. The tobbacco manufac? turers have gone to the same place. Our factories are nearly all closed. ? The Louisville Courier-Journal proposes to celebrate "the centennial anniversary of the day when Boone first set his foot upon the heights that overlook the valley of Kentuck}' and planted his staff in the rich soil of the fairest and most fortu? nate of States, the coming 7th of June, which will be as it was then, a Monday." ? Judge Orr cleared the Issue docket at the ex? tra term of the Greenville Court of five hundred cases during the last week. The first few cases were stoutly litigated, when the juries, after argu? ment, established t'fle rule of giving one-half the debt and interest; when the pleas were withdrawn by consent and the docket rapidly cleared.
