He has developed remarkable strength fora man who is not a candi date, and things now seem to point strongly to his nomination. He is a rep resentative of the Garfield sentiment of the party, und is to day the strongest man in the Union with thc masses of tho Republican party. His nomination in tho first Chicago Convention is not nt all improbable. Thc old ticket of Tilden and Hendricks continues to gain strength before the country. The boom lor it is on the in Crease, and will be immense by the time of the meeting of tlie Democratic Con vention in Chicago. In fact, wc believe that nothing short of Mr. Tilden's death can prevent his nomination when the Convenu.m meets. If nominated under Bach circumstance*, he cannot refuse to serve, and bin election would be in sure as things in tho future ever are in poll tics. The Orangeburg Tums and Democrat Buys: "Abraham Martin, colored, who Bold out hero about a year ugo and emi grated to Arkansas, returned home nu last Monday night. Hu is fully satisfied with his experience, and expresses him self as being glad lo gel back to South Carolina. Arkansas, ho cays, does not flow with milk and honey as represented by interested railroad agents and laud speculators." The colored people who are so crazy to go to this new country had better know homet liing about it be fore they start. When they gel there it will be impossible for many of them to get bael;, and it will then b > too late to realize their mistake. The* ?-"Ml bc- wies io siay where they r.re un.d they lieur from those who have already gone there. Tho County Republican Convention ir Abbeville on last Saturday was quito an animated adair. Guinn came up from Charleston, where he holds au office in the Customhouse, to work for nu Arthur delegation to Columbia. Tho local sen timent, however, was too strong for him, and be was badly defeated, a delegation of advocates for Blaine's nomination being selected. In the confusion of tho adjournment, a difficulty aroso iu which GuH'm received a bad bruise upon bis head, but accounts indicato that it is not known who did it. At any rato Gutlin was defeated and then beaten, so that ho went back to Charleston a wicL-r, if not a better man. He learned the lesson that merely because be was an office-holder he could not control the negroes of his County, by teaching bim which tho Republicans of Abbeville have shown a little independence. CAItOLINA FACTORY GIRLS. Tho Augusta correspondent of tho At lanta Constitution writing about tho recent Convention of Coltou Spinners, which met in that city, gives tho following items concerning Col. H. P. Hammett, of the Piedmont Manufacturing Compa ny, who was ono of tho members of tho Convention : "Carolina girls aro tho best colton fac tory operatives in the world," said Colo nel Hammett, of the Piedmont mills. "It is very seldom you find a yankee girl working in the mills. All through New England you will find that tho help is Irian, German, or French-Canadian, but our Carolina girls are not afraid to work, and the first thing which strikes Ibo at tention of visiting business friends from the North is the superior appcarauce of my operatives, Tall, shapely, with well poised heads and faces which jvould do for moulds of beauty, they are cs lady like at tho hearth stone as they are profi cient at the loom. They are all under the salutary influence of home and church relationship, and are a class of who!rt any nation should be proud." It is ?vident- that Colonel Hammett is in love with all bia girls-that is in a fath erly sort of a way. Some years ago Col onel Hammett was President of the Greenville and Columbi!? road. One Sunday morning he went into the hotel in Greenville, and beheld ayoung lady in an agony ol' tears. Ho was told that she had jost received a telegram announcing tho fatal illness of ber lather, and call ing her home at once. As it was sgainst the law.? of South Carolina for railroad companies to do business on Sunday, the ?oung lady had no means of reaching er father that day. The story touched Mr. Hammett's heart, and he at once had an engine and conch prepared and sent the weeping daughter to ber fath er's bedside. Subsequently the father recovered bnt tho daughter died. The young lady waa a first cousin to State Treasurer Speer, of Georgia. - Four million three hundred and forty thousand boxe? of "sardines" were packed in Lu bec, Me., last year. HAD MKMOIIIKS. The Columbia Hcgister says : "It is stated that jettera are being C< J Etantly received at the ollice of the Sec retary o? State asking for copies of Acta which do ni?!, exist. Many members of the bist Legislature seem lo be under the impression that bills were passed which bad only been read three times in one ?louse. In Charleston a large sun. of money bas been misapplied under the belief that a certain bill bad become nu Act, whereas it had not. The Anderson l ire Department bill did not become law, yet the Anderson folks thought it bad. Well, it may do to send the old members back to work through the bill* which baited on their legislative journey." The bill to provide for an efficient Tire Department in the city of Anderson was introduced in thc IJouec by Mr. Murray, and passed that body. It was read the first time in the ?Senate on the I Sib of December, referred to the Com* mince on Incorporations, and was never p ported to the Senate. Six days after- i wards, on the lilth of December, the Leg islature adjourned It had plenty if time to get through, but in the rush ol business incident to a short session was overlooked in the .Senate. Its failure to pass will defer the complete organization of tho department one year, but the City Council will make some progress by providing ibo engine and a few cis tern-) out of thc annual City tax levy. The people of Greenville have been taking a keen interest in railroad mat ters since the war, and much of the pro gress und prosperity of their city has been derived from their enterprise, and sagacity in securing the Air Linc Hail road. They have now about secured the completion of a connection with the Georgia Centra! Road over the line of the Greenville & Laurens road which is being rapidly constructed. In addition to this, they are enthusiastic over ti new line proposed over thc mountains. This has been thought impracticable hereto fore, but our plucky neighbors have em ployed Capt. Kirk to survey a lino across the Blue Ridge, and the (Jreenville Mews gives the following as tbf> result of the trial Uno : "The engineer reported that ho had found a practicable and easy louie through Langford's tiap, tho worst grade of which will be 70 feet to the mile. His whole report was very en couraging, and showed that a road can be built with comparative cheapness and rapidity which will bo admirably adap ted for heavy freight traffic. There was sonic discussion about various plans nnd mules, nnd it was at last decided lo in struct Capt. Kirk to go ahead with his trial lilies and lind thc easiest way in the mountain division, the general sentiment being that there will bo no difficulty at all in finding a route after the bottoms uro reached. I nder these instructions Capt. Kirk will go ahead. Ho can not tell yet when ho will bc ready to report on tho best way down the mountain", but il will probably be within the next six weeks." If as favorable a line down the mountain as thal up can bo lound, it ia by no means improbable that Greenville may yet gel a railroad over the moun tains. Other communities which aro hesitating about pushing forward the building of railroads would do well to profil by tho success which bas attended Greenville's enterprise, and hasten the completion ol' their contemplated ruil road lines. The Slate Democratic Executive Com mittee bas issued a call for the State Convention to meet on Thursday, the 26th day of Juno next, al twelve o'clock m., for the purposo of electing delegates to the National Democratic Convention, nominating a Stats ticket, electing a State Executive Committee, nominating Presidential Electors, and transacting ?ucli other business as may come before tho Convention. As was to be expected, this action ha? been viewed differently by different papers in the State, some of them severely criticising the Committee , for its action as an unheard of thing, and i an effort to secure the renomination of 1 tho present Slate ticket. In this, our 1 brethren of the press dollie Committee , an injustice, and show that their memo- I rica aro quite detective, for not longer 1 ago than 1882 there was but one Con- 1 vention, which met in Juno and nomina- , ted Governor Hagood, and tho balance i of the State ticket, elected delegates to I Cincinnati, adopted a platform, nomina ted Presidential Electors, elected a State ? Executive Committee and adjourned < mne die beioro tho meeting of the National Democratic Convention, which nominated Hancock aud English. In that year tho Committee did not call tho Convention to nominate a Slate ticket, but ibero was strong opposition to Gov. Hagood, and yet tho Convention nomi- i natcd tho ticket. This produced greet 1 dissatisfaction, becauxo many conteuded that thc people did not expect a State ticket to be nominated, and an advantage had therefore been taken by the nomina- 1 lion. To avoid such a stato of things now, the Committco has called a Con vention explicitly with full powers. Jf the Convention docs not wish to nomi- . nate, it can decide not to do so, but the whole question is submitted to tho peo ple. Instead of trying to take an advan tage of tho people, the Executive Com mittee has called attention to the powers of the Convention, and the people can decide any or all ol the questions as they pleaso wheu they elect their delegates. The action of the Committee ?usures an expression of the people on this matter. If they want two Conventions they can have them, and if they only want one, they will elect delegates to carry out their wishes in all these matters. - The Rock Hill Herald says: "On Tuesday evening of last week, as Mr. George Sledge, the engineer of the North bouud passenger train on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, was running between Lowrysville and McConnellsville he saw the cyclone rapidly approaching his train. He immediately pulled tho throt tle of his engine wide open and a race began. The black funnel-shaped cloud ia said to have kept within about fifty feet of the hindmost coach for a consid erable distance. There was intense ex citement on board the flying train as the murky monster, rolling, pitching, seeth< ing, boiling, spread destruction in full view of the passengers. Finally a sharp carve in the road threw the train out of the cyclono'a path, sod in this way a wreck was averted. - This season the pack of hounds owned hy Sheriff Riley and Mnjoiy Brown in Barnwell County have caught sixty edd foxes. {TV'S.-. y-)ii'<"'i' >' .*?, .; . . , . i - j ? .... >))' - * *.

The Worlii'd Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, to l.e held in New Orleans, beginning December, 1884, un der the joint auspices of the United Mate?, the National Cotton Piuntet's Association and the city of New Orleans, will be an event of tile greatest cotise quenco ami of vital interest lo every Southern ?State. All the ci vilized nations uti the world have been asked to partici pate in this Exposition, and many of thtiu have already accepted the invita tion and have given notice that they would make exhibition of their products and representation of their industrie. All thc ."-tale? of the Union wiii be fully represented. Aa this Exposition will be held in the chief eily of the Cotton ?tales, the world will naturally expect that li.c-< States will make thu most com plete exhibit* ol ail their manufactured, mineral and agricultural products, and I mil displays ot all ti.eir resources. In fact, capitalist.-, realizing thc benefits to come lo the South from tbi.- Exposition, and knowing that all of the prosperous and progressive ."-taits will endeavor to make the best allowing, will attend the Exposition lo obtain information thai could not possibly be gotten elsewhere We feel that it is unnecessary to dwell upon the importance of this matter. Our Slate Legislature ut its last sei-sion, after full investigation, and appreciating the bc.elils to be derived from having South Carolina properly represented, appropri ated Sio.'iuu for the purpose, to be expen ded under the direction of the Depart incut of Agriculture. As this is thc Centennial celebration of the first exportation of cotton from America, il in tho peculiar province of South Carolina to occupy the most conspicuous pince in tue pic ture, as the first colton exported was sent from Chariest?, n. We have good reason to believe that the cotton gin wa? invented in South Carob >.', and we aro now about lo give to the world thc first and only successful cotton picker. These, however, are sentimental reasons and appeal only to our State pride ; but the practical reasons are even more forcible, Iroin a business point nj view, than those already given are from u sentimental one. The South needs capital and immigra tion. This all will admit. How is she to obtain these ? Just as everything else is made successful-by judicious advertis ing. What better advertisement can we get than the exhibition to those who com.ol capital and those who desire to purchase homes of lite splendid products rd' the soil, specimens of our minerals mid samples of our manufactured goods, lu no way can thc advantages of the South be better shown than by stich evidences ai such an exhibition would furnish. And what is true ol' the South generally is emphatically true of South Carolina. We want lo build railroads and increase our transportation facilities ; we want to erect more cotton factories, build woolen mills and establish all the smaller manufacturing industries; we want mir mines of gnid, silver, copper, iron, &c , developed ; wo want our waste lauds brought i ti to cultivation, and we want to increase our population. All of this can be thine only hy proper. Kyste malic, determined and continued ri fort. Tho recent publications showing the wonderful manufacturing ami agricultu ral progress of the Stale have attracted the attention of business men in every direction, anti already men of means have been here prospecting for solid in vestments, anti inquiries for information are coining from every Beet ion ol' the Union. Tho good impression thus made should bc followed up promptly and vig orously, and wo now have the opportuni ty to Jo so successfully. Tho amount appropriated by tin; Leg islature for making thc exhibition is in adequate lor the purpose unless we can obtain the voluntary assistance of the people throughout the Slate. This we feel sure wo will receive, and now con fidently appeal to them for their aid and encouragement. In addition to the help that may be employed, representatives of the Depart ment will ho appointed in every Town ship in tho State, who will constitute a Commission for tho State, and who will bo requested to see that local organiza tions nre perfected; and it is desired that these organizations will see to ii that all tho resources of their Townships are made fully known. This appeal, how ever, is addressed to the people generally, who are urged to take this matter in hand without delay, and communicate with the Commissioner of Agriculture promptly, freely and ft .-fluently. The railroad companies have generously offered to transport free to Columbia all articles intended for exhibition. The cotton manufacturers have promised mecitneus of all their goods without charge, nnd some have offered to contrib ute to the expense of making the ex hibit; and the press of the State, with characteristic public spirit, is giving us the benefit of its vast influence. It only remains, therefore, for the people to do their part, and South Carolina will make, as we have promised she shall do, "the Dost exhibit on the grounds." Any informatiou that may be desired regarding the matter will bc cheerfully furnished by the Commbisioner of Agri culture. Very respectfully, A. P. BUTLER, Commissioner of Agriculture. Speedy R?tribution. BOCK HILL, S. C., April 1.-This afternoon about 1 o'clock a colored boy named Frank Elliot outraged lue little lix-year-old daughter of Mr. W. A. Fre t?e!l, a farmer living three miles North west of this place, inflicting severe inju ries. A few-minutes after the commis don of the horrible crime tho child ran from tho barn where tho brute had en ticed ber and in ?.gonizit>g words told the parents in her innocent way what bad bappeucd. The child was cared for aud an immediate search was made for Elli ott by tho father of the lillie girl. He waa captured and brought to this place by Mr. Frcwcll, tho father, who at once turtled tho fiend over to Constable T. C. Beckham Tho negro was taken into Trial Justice Frowell's oflico and at oucc made a free aud full confession, acknowl edging the deed and giving a description of its accomplishment. The revolting details of the horrible crime soon spread over the town and in a short time the entire population became greatly enrag ed and excited. Crowds gathered on the streets and it at once became evident that Frank Elliott had not long to live. The officers fearing that barm would befall the negro began to make preparations for protecting bim. About half-past 6 o'clock the officers started with Elliott to the guard bouse, but as they reached the door an excited crowd overpowered ihe guards and took possession of the negro. They surrounded him and pur sued him oft to a grove on the outskirts of town, where he was hung to a tree just as the sun set. At thia writing the body still swings to the limb, bearing the following emphat ic playcard : ''Our daughters we wir. protect."-Special to the Columbia Regie ter. - It is said that the ones''-int is fast becoming a thing of the past, and a I medical authority claims that its disap ?c ara p. co is a fixed process - of evolution, t says : "The chestnut tree ls going, jost os all trees of a spongy inferior fibre must go, before) inch stoat close fibred trees as th? oak.

On the back of the note in the Upper left band corner the word "Certificate" was placed in a panel, and here too a delect was noticeable after "(.'er " thc otber letters were reversed and in the penalty clause on the back "taxes" are spelt "taras." The general appear ance of the certificate, however, is such UH to [?rove very deceptive even to ex perts, nod greut cure should be exercised in handling thone of the $20 d?nomina tion. The South offers a good field for counterfeiters' operations, and the atten tion of ?ts citizens hus been frequently invited to thii fact.

C., April 4.-For three days and nights the most destructive fire ever known in this section has been de vastating tho Southern border of the State, extendiug in six or seven Coun ties. Vast forests of long leaf pine have been attacked. They formed the chief source of the timber supply. The high winds fanned tho flames iuto fury, and hundreds of thousands ot trees were burned, and sumo of the largest turpen tine orchards in the State have been ruined. Many furm houses have been destroyed. The people huve been brave ly fighting tho tire. A number of towns narrowly escaped destruction. At Men ly, on the Raleigh and Augusta Railway a number of houses were burned. Large stores of lumber sills on the line of road were also destroyed and a dozen turpen tine distilleries aro ruined. The coun try in greut stretches is but a blackened wilderness. Tho extent of the disaster is not yet known. Many families are homeless. Tho tire has swept here aud there sumo fifty miles iu one direction and thirty in another. Few places, it is reported, escaped. The fires were caused by burning brush. The fires extended fur into South Carolina. On the lino of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad tin trains have been running through mi es of fire. Two dwellings and eight or on burns have been burned in that district. So fur as known uo lives have been lost. - Alfred Chadwick yoked bia wife to a plough with a steer, for which Judge Jennison, of Detroit, gave her a divorce. Ho insisted that he only followed the geir-Mil usage among the market garden ers of Western Canada. - A littlo child five or six years old, daughter of Stafford Grant, colored, of Seneca City, caught fire on last Sunday and was humed to death. As soon as its clothes caught fire it ran from tho house and kept running until it dropped dead. - Mr. John Mnrjenhoff, of Aiken, ex hibited to tho Journal and l?cvicic, ou April 2d, a basket of Irish potatoes, averaging about the size of small apples, which he had dug that day from his gar den. The potatoes were planted in Octo ber last, the ground being sown over in rye. It would appear that tho rye pro tected the potatoes from being killed by tho severe weather during the Winter. - A bill has passed both Houses of the New York Legislatuie and received the signature of the Governor requiring instruction in physiology and hygiene, with special reference to the effects of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and narcot ics upon the human system, to be given in all schools supported by public money or under State control. - The Rlaine boom began at a very fortunato timo for that gentleman, just as the delegates to the National Conven tion were to be selected.
