E."il. M?JKKAY, Editor. THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1885T .VT?. i ONEVKAIU...^. .SH.?O. BIX MONTHB... 78o. Two Dollarn If not pain In advance. A correspondent of tho Orecavillo Neat, writing from Coopere, in Pickeno County, eavs: "Mr. Huske, tho fish commissioner, has been around to look after those fellows that arc obstructing tho streams with their mill dams. The dams at Pelter, Piedmont, Kemp's, Car lson's and Wilkins & Co.'s received his attention, and I learn each agreed to construct a fish way over his dam. Kow, if we can have a law that will prohibit persons from seining within two huudred yards of those fish ways wo may have eomo benefit of the State's money spent to steck our streams with fish. These fish waya arc to bo put in the first of October next." This all very well, but we think the State ought to open up Savannah River to the free passage of fish, oven if it ia necessary to repeal tho Chatter under which thc Augusta canal was constructed. It is unreasonable to have aa large a river as tho Savannah closed nbsolutely to tho passage of fish, and the Legislatures of both States should co-operate In opening up tho Savannah. The Pendleton Farmers' Society, which is the oldest Agricultural Association in tho State, bas done much in its seventy years of existeuce to diffuse agricultural information and foster an improved method of agriculture, but last year it took a departure from its simple lino of agricultural research, and gave its atten tion also lo the kindred subject of im proved stock, which is BO intimately con nected with tho prosperity of our Carolina fsrniB. By the Block show which they gavo lost year a widespread interest was directed lo tho advantages to bc derived by our farmcre raising their own stock and to the valuo of improved stock horses, cows, hog?, ?heep, Ac. This year thoEocioty will, on second Thursday In October, hold another Stock Exhibition, and will add to it the novel but valuable feature to our pcoplo, of an auction solo of fino Btock. Tho salo will bo strictly guarded by rules for tho protection of bnyers, and will doubtlcBB attract n very largo class of our people from all parts of the State. Tho Pendleton Farmers' Society have appointed Capt. J. C. Stab ling, of Pendleton, special Correspon dent for thia enterprise, and nny person wishing information upon tho subject, oithor for the purpose of entering ?tock for salo or with a view of attending to purchase, will be furniabed the necessary information on application to him. There is no place in this or neighboring States better suited for such an exhibition nod sale than Pendleton. Her people malro a SUCCCBS of any undertaking in which they engago, and therefore . t may bo sa /ely assumed that this new under taking will meet tho expectations of its originators and of tho public. FIXING INSURANCE RATES. The Greenville News of Tuesdoy, the 23rd inst., said : "Tho Greenville Board of Underwriters held a meotiug nt the office of Julius C. Smith, president of the board, on yesterday and considered the question of fire insurance rates for city property. The board concedes that the absence of water works dostroys Greenville's claim to bo roted aa a first class town for insurance risks. It will urge on the Southern Tariff Association, however, that this town should havo a rating higher than that of places like Anderson and Newberry where there aro no steamers or the stoamers are unprovi ded with horses, or where the depen dence for water supply is entirely on cisterns filled by rain. An effort will be made to obtain a rating between tho two for thia city, and Ibero is reason to hope that it will be successful." Wo can seo no reason why Greenville should bo rated lower for insurance than Andorson, or even as low. Our contemporary is mis taken in its assertions about our Fire Department. We hsve o steamer, and while it ls unprovided with horses, it is equally, true that it has a pair of mules continually at ita service during the night, and sufficient power accessiblo in tho.day time, and wo oro not depondent npon rain for our water supply. There Is a cistern of running water at the depot from which cisterns' in ono portion of the city sro filled, and Mr. Murray's carp pond afford] sn abundant supply in an other part of the city. From those sources our cisterns ore kept continually fbi). Wo not only havo a good steamer weil equipped with Sn abundant supply of v.-a ter, from which to fill our cisterns, but wo also havo ono of tho best Fire Companies in the . State. These things make the accident risk in : Anderson as small of it is in Greenville. Bat lhere are other considerations than tho acci dent risk Vfhich ono of the greatest of whioh ought to be tho moral risk; Now it ia well known that Greenville bas had a great many destructive fires ot intervals during the past fi flee u y catv, and th ut at. times there has beeb, in ber midst an organised band of arson thieves. Anderson has had but! ono serious fire aloco 1810, so tb at it will, be seen that tho moral risk here is less than at Greenville. It seems to us, there* foro, that Abdoreo? should have lower ^ttpfc'than Greenville, and wo have no doubt that oar watchful Underwriters will not.permit onrtnterests to be ignored when tho Tariff Association me?is. .

Ono of tho mo.^t interesting and picas nut occasions that wo have ever attended was the Commencement of Erskine Col lege, and cf the Female College in Due West Inst week. Tho exercises in Ers kine College were extended from Mon day evening, when thc Literary Societies had their aunusl contests, through Tues day, when the contests between the Sophomore and Junior classes had their contests in speaking and writing essays, through tho entire day of Weduesday, on which the graduating class delivered their speeches, the diplomas were deliv ered by Dr. Crier, the annual address before the Literary Societies, and tho announcement of distinctions, and thc delivery of medals to successful com petitors in the several contests. Seven young gentlcmcu wt ve graduated, and in their speeches showed themselves to be able, trained atid well equipped scholars. Tho Baccalaureate ndtlrcss of Dr. Crier ' was able, pointed, practical and full of ] force, giving (he young gentlemen im pressive, Valuable and most excellent i advice for their futuro guidance. After the an Dual address in tho afternoon the delivery of tho medals and announce ments was fixed for the eveniug, and con stituted n most interesting part of the exercises. A largo crowd attended tho exercises throughout, und by their re peated pretence testified their appreci ation of the manner in which the stu dents acquitted themselves. Erskine College in a quiet, unobtrusive way is doing a mos*, valuable and thorough edu cational work. With a largo and able I faculty it affords extensive fields of j study and improvement to thoso who pursuo a couruo of study in it. Dr. Grier, the President, is ono of tho bc<it Bcholnrn and profoundest thinkers in our Stato, and possesses executive abilities of high order, na is evinced in tho thorough system and successful management which marks tho condition of tho College. Interesting ns tlic exhibition of culture given by tho students of Erskine College was, wo know they aro gallant enough to I agree with us that tho Commencement of the Female College on Thursday was tho occasion of highest iutcrost during tho weak. Tho day was IJCJMIU at tea o'clock in the morning by a beautiful song, and the chorus sung by over ono hundred accomplished young Indies, and the re mainder of the dny was consumed by reading tho compositions of the eighteen graduates, interspersed with music from tho students. In each of these exorcises thoso who participated In them evinced tho most thorough culturo and accom plishment. In addition to thin, the singe was hung willi an extensivo exhi bition of beautiful paintings and draw ings, the work of tho students of the College, of which possessed high merit, and ?orno of which were pictures of n high order of art. Tho whole exer cises of tho Collcgo reflected tho highest of credit both upon tho professors aud tho students of thc Female Collcgo, and will long bo cherished with pleasant re collections by thoso who were fortunate enough to bo present. Tho citizens of j Duo West aro the most pleasant of hosts, and always contribute their relined hos pitality to heighten tho enjoyment of j visitors to these Commencements. Tho person who would not bo chnrmed with a visit to Due Wal during Commence meut season ls certainly most bard to please. Applicants to West Point, COKEHBUIIY, S.O., June, 29, 1885.

That petition was signed, we believe, by a majority of the citizens whose votes gave our legislators their honors, aud wo further believe that these petitioners represented a majority of the iutelligenco, virtue, respectability and property of Abhevillo County. This being true we seo no good reason why our honorable Senators and Representatives should not have given their petitioners a respectful hearing, or in CKSO they could not do this, we see no good reason to prevent our Legislators from telling their constit uents why their request wus treated with contempt. To Bend this petition was the mero right of the people, which is vouch safed in the organic law of tho State, which assures us that the right of peti tion "shall never be abridged." Then why did our Legislators refuse consider ation of tho petition of their constituent?

Coroner Martin, on of tho leaders of the organization, ?ai when asked hew he liked them : "It 1 a cryiug shame. The President baa road a gross blunder. This man Heddon ho never dono anything for the Democracy and in appointing him the President hi iusulted all true Democrats." They a' feel about that way, though 6ome preten indifference and say they never hoard < Heddon and don't know anything aboi him. The Irving Hall people are les disturbed, but several of them use fair praise to express their feelings. Tb County Democracy men are jubilan Even Hubert O. Thompson seems to b very happy, although ho is reputed to L a disappointed aspirant for thc collecte: ship. Col. Silas W. Burt, the newly appoin ed naval officer, was formerly a novi officer and was removed by Prcsidet Arthur. He is at present tho chit examiner of tho New York civil servit commission.

Holland, a prominent colored man in Arkansas, continues to vigorously advocate his scheme of colonizing the negroes in New Mexico. He claims that the people of the South "work fifteen months in tho year," raising cotton to exchango fer bread and meat, and then do not get half enough. Ho says that when the negroes leave thc Southern States a good class of whites w.ll move in. Even if white immigrants failed to come, ho thinks that it would bo more profitable tn let tho country grow up in grass, PO the people would raise stock and fertilize and reclaim their woru out lands.
