E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 188S. TT RM3t ONETEAIL ~?_.91.50. SIX MONTHS.._,_.Li 75c. . Two Dollars If not paid in advance. Tire Greenville News ench the discus Bion of the report of the Committee to in? vestigate the charges of cruelty to con? victs on the Greenwood & Augusta Rail* road, by proposing to show that all the testimony available was not taken, or that the report do-ss not conform to the testimony, if we will famish it a copy of the testimony taken, and a file of the ifctw and Cornier. This is asking more than we can perform. We will cheer folly lend our friend the testimony if it will be of any service to him, but we hava no file of the News and Courier, and therefore, his' conditions are impossible for us to comply with. We thought the Greenville News professed to know ? whereof it spoke about this report, but it now appears that its knowledge con? sists merely of impressions made in an investigation which a newspaper reporter made, in which the witnesses were not under oath. The Committee, we repeat, summoned and examined on oath every witness whose name was given them, or who they had any reasons to think knew anything of the subject matter of the enquiry. Its conclusions were more likely to be correct than those of a news? paper correspondent who bad to depend upon what was told him by persons not sworn. In addition to this presumption, we have the testimony to prove the cor? rectness of the report. The meeting of the Saluda Baptist Association with the Turkey Creek Church, in Abbeville County, last week was one of the most interesting and most largely attended sessions the body has ever held. It was composed of progress? ive, earnest men, and the work of the session is likely to prove of lasting bene? fit to the cause in which the Association is laboring. During the past year the Churches in the Association* contributed over. $2,200 to the benevolent operations in which the Association is engaged. It resolved to raise. this j-ear two thousand dollars on the permanent" endowment -of Furman University, and twenty-five hun dred dollars for missions. It adopted strong temperance resolutions, and urged the.'Churches to enforce them. During tho Association the Turkey Creek Church celebrated its centennial aniversary, Rev. Charles Manly, D. D., preaching the sermon, and Rev. Mike McGee reading the historical sketch, which will be print? ed r in ? the ^minutes; Rev. W. H. King preached tho introductory sermon, and Rey.'H.jB. Fant the missionary sermon. Rev.- J.-S. Murray was re-elected Mode? rator, Rev, Mike McGee Clerk", and Dr. John A. Robinson Assistant Clerk and ?Traasureri The entertainment of guests was;, amply provided for, and the. utter? most hospitality extended by the mem? bers of the Turkey Creek Church and the neighboring community. The Asso? ciation next year will meet with the Hopewell Church. Zh& J?lbl JUU11WJ1' MHUtlllg" Ul tub' Agricultural Society and of the State Grange at Bennettsville last week was a decided success. It was held in one of the finest agricultural sections of the State, and during. one of the most pro? pitious years that we have ever had, so that those who attended saw the very highest conditions of agriculture in South Carolina. The meeting discussed, in a. practical way, many very important' agriculture subjects, and the interchange of views will doubtless be of value to the whole State. Among the many im? portant matters considered, perhaps the most important action taken was the! recommendation that the State establish au experimental farm. This is a step in -the right direction. Our agricultural' department, both National and State, is , too much confined to the theoretical to e tile neglect of the practical. It would be" better if the national government would .establish a-series of experimental farms in connection with its Department of Agricultural, for the means of the gov? ernment ore sufficient to carry out the experiments fully and thoroughly, and to publish and distribute the methods and results to all the agriculturists of the . country'. We have no doubt that this work will, eventually be undertaken by the general government,, but in the mean time it is desirable for the State also to engage, as far as her means will allow, . in the same great work. It will add to the progress and prosperity of the State. These agricultural meetings are benefi? cial to the farmers, and it is desirable that they shall not be confined to the State meetings, but every County and Township Bhould have its Grange or Agricultural Club, to meet frequently for the exchange of opinion and the dissem? ination of agricultural knowledge. ON WHICH SIDE? Our contemporary, the Anderson Jour? nal, has for some time past been publish? ing extracts upon the working of the prohibition law, most of which have tended to show that the law does not work well, but until last week it has not contained any editorial upon the subject, as far as we remember, since the piesent agitation arose. Last week it says: The subject of "prohibition" may be said to be a live question in Anderson County, for the matter is frequently bronght up for discussion at public meetings, and one can hear more or less talk about it almost every day. The public speeches, and for that matter the newspaper writings, are almost without exception all on one side ?opposed to the granting of licenses to sell spirituous liquors. As a general thing the prohibitionists take an ideal view of the matter, dwell upon the evils consequent upon the use of intoxicating liquors, then picture a happy state of affairs that is emi? nently desirable, and urge prohibition as a ready means to bring about that state of affairs. Many do not coincide with the prohibition movement, not from sympathy with the liquor traffic, but on the ground that strict regulation is more practical and therefore more satisfactory than attempted ultra prohibition. Nevertheless, if a vote were had on the subject in this County prohibition would doubtless carry by a huge majority, because, aside from the merits of the question, there are not a few who' hold that as the sale of liquors is already prohibited in the country it should be prohibited in town also as a matter of equality, regarding the present law as an unfair discrimination rather than a safe? guard to people without police protection. The question is one upon which, every man has the right to his opinion} and the Jour nal will in the future, as in the past, give publicity to matters of fact and argument weighing on both sides, but if prohibition is adopted it sincerely hopes to see those who vote for it strive to'carry it out. From these remarks our conteniridra ry's views upo? this important subject are not very clear. In fact, it may be read either as a very mild and timid en? dorsement of the prohibition movement, or it may be taken as a timorous effort in the direction of antagonizing prohibition; or yet again it may appear to be a skillful exhibition of fence-riding on the subject. The Intelligencer is strongly in favor of prohibition. We believe the people want it and that they ought to have it. We think it will do our County a great deal of good, and we feel that it is our duty as a conscientious and candid journalist to advocate its adoption. We would like to have the aid of our con? temporary in bringing it about, and if we are to have its opposition we would like to know it. The people would like to know also. Therefore, wo would like for^ our contemporary to elucidate its views on prohibition a little more clearly by eaying whether it favors or opposes prohibition. We know that we cannot compel our contemporary to take a posi? tion on this or any other subject, but we wish to call its attention to what appears to be a piece of fence-riding, in order that it may show its independence by declaring its true place iu the pending contest. Does the Journal favor or oppose prohibition ? The Greenville News says: "Well, well, well. Here is the Ander? son Intelligences straggling into camp and taking position among the opponents of free tuition in the State college. Our esteemed cotemperary is a llrtle late, but it is a good and serviceable recruit and we welcome It and are willing to let bygones be bygones." Our friend seems surprised at the posi? tion of the Intelligencer on the free tuition question, and speaks of us as coming straggling in on the side of the opposition. The Intelligencer has never occupied any other position on this subject than that which it now holds. Its Editor, as a member of the Legisla? ture, at the very time when the appro? priation to re-open the University was pending during the session of 1880, offered the proviso appended to the sec? tion which provides for one student to be appointed from each County, who shall be entitled to tuition free of charge, re? quiring those.who.accept the benefits of this section to teach for two years after he graduates in the common schools of the County frtfm which he was appoint? ed. This shows that we did not then expect tuition to be free of charge to all, for it imposed an obligation upon those who were expected to receive tuition without charge. Io^ujdUion to this, the Editor of this paper^m^rtr-^i^na year ago .urged the president of one?rS?*-^ Colleges in the State to cease the oppose tion to the University, and then let us all join in the movement to put all of the educational institutions of the Stale upon an equality, so that merit should be the element which shall control the attendance of students. We do not believe in a great University bidding for the attendance of students by making its education free. We would rather see it command a liberal patronage by the excellence of its course of instruction. Therefore, we desire to see the Colleges out the others by using the taxingTpowrr of the State to command an attendance which its merits wonld not entitle it to. But not only has the Editor of the In? telligencer thus evidenced his person? al views upon the subject, but this pa? per last January, in a controversy with the Newberry Observer, said : We would say here, however, that we do not favor free tuition in the State University. In our opinion those able to send their sons or wards to the Univer? sity should pay their tuition fees, but their should be an unlimited number of beneficiary scholarships for distribution among the young men of the State, who have not the means of defraying all their expenses, if those who have heretofore made their fight upon the South Carolina University would cease their opposition to the University and a proper appropri? ation to it, and introduce a bill to require the payment of tuition fees by those who are able to do so, they would find vey many of those who are strong friends of the University agreeing with them. We would rather have the University as it is than none at all, but we would at the same time rather see the standard raised and a higher grade institution established. We do not mean by this to criticise the present institution, for we think it has made very satisfactory progress, but we want the good work carried on until it is the peer of the University of Virginia, of Yale, or of John Hopkins University. - In addition to this, the Editor of the Intelligencer was about two months ago placed on a Committee as in part representing Furman University in the effort now being made to abolish free tuition in the State University. We have never made any fight on free tuition before this, because the Universi? ty was formidably attacked by its oppo? nents, and we would rather see the Uni? versity with free tuition than to have no State University at all. But we are heartily in favor of doing away with free tuition, where the students have the means to pay for their education. Our friend will see from this that the Intelligencer is no straggler, and that we neither ask, nor are we willing, to let bygones be bygones as to our position on ibis question. It is a source of giatifica tion, however, to find ourselves on the same Hide of some questions with the Greenville News, even if we do get our position from different standpoints. ? A bachelor in Sidney, Neb., an? swered a matrimonial advertisement in an Omaha paper a few days ago, and re? quested a photograph. The lady replied, sending not only her own photograph, but those of her four children by her first husband as well. The bachelor was satisfied. -- Chattanooga has ordered its aband? oned women to leave the city.

Saturday was a very hot day in New York and the sun beat pitilessly on the streets, but there was such a crowd and such a parade as the great city has never had before. The route of the funeral procession was nine miles long and every foot of the way was thronged with people packed on the sidewalks and out into the gutters, swarming on the stoops and steps, clus? tering on the telegraph poles ana throng? ing every window and door. Every building was elaborately decorated with crape, and dags by the thousands were drooping at half-mast in every direction, the air was filled with the sound of dirge3 and funeral marches from brass bands, and from the river, where all the men of war were drawn in line and hundreds of vessels with half-masted flags crowded the water, slow minute guns boomed solemnly. All the bells tolled and the chimes played appropriately solemn airs. The procession was headed by Major General Hancock in f?ll uniform mount? ed oh a magnificent black horse. He was followed by 136 brilliantly uniformed aides, mounted. 600 men of the 5th artillery, U. S. A., followed with their gUns, and were followed by long lines of marines, sailors and 1,500 infantry of the United States army. Thirty-two regl ments of the national guard and a num ber of separate companies came next, marching in files of ten and twenty. One colored regiment from Pennsylvania and companies from Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia were among those. The southern troops, the Pennsylvanians and the Seventh New York regiment appeared in grey. All marched with reversed arms. After the militia came the catafalque, a structure twelve feet high surmounted by a canopy with black plumes. The wheels and body were covered with royal purple velvet so as to make it appear as a solid mass. The casket rested under the canopy. It bore no ornaments except a "G" made of oak leaves by General Grant's little granddaughter and a child of Dr. Douglass on the day Gen. Grant died. An artillery company of regulars marched on one side, single file, and an infantry company on the other. The family and relatives of Gen. Grant, detachments of grand army posts, the President, Vice-President and mem bers of the cabinet, the Supreme Court, Senators, members of the House of Rep? resentatives, Governor and Legislature of New York, foreign Ministers, diplomatic and consular officers, seventeen governors and their staffs, heads of bureaux, Gens. Sheridan, Schofield and Meritt and their staffs, ten mayors and a committee of 101 from New York, pall bearers, physi? cians and clergymen followed in carri? ages, there being over four hundred car? riages four abreast. A tremendous force of veteran organizations and civic socie? ties followed. Thero were 50,000 men in the line which was eight miles long. Over five hours was occupied in the march although all who followed the body did not march that distance, being drawn up on each side of the line of march and falling in order, beginuing nearest the city hall. The spectacle was therefore added to by the fact that through much of the route the process ioiipassed between solid lines of uni There was considerable^oTr?cJi!^kat4U4j vault, where the line became in the tremendous multitude, two bands played different airs, and the artillery became displaced. General Hancock's horse was prostrated, and he was forced to complete the journey standing in a carriage. An element of fun was present at the vault in the shape of a large stand for sightseers erected at much expense and left without occupants. It bore the inscription "we mourn our Iobs" which was accepted by the crowd as applying to the pecuniary results of the specula? tion. _The Methodist funeral service was read and the ritual of the graMjirjnx ~vaa pmiuimiu, -wn?ithicii cne coinu was placed in a cedar casket which was put in a steel case in the vault. The doors of that structure were then locked and the funeral was over, the Meade post, Grand Array of the Republic, of which Gen. Grant was a memoer, firing a salute of musketry. There is no means of estimating the crowds. Almost all of New York's million people were present to view the procession,'and Brooklyn sent a stream pouring over the bridge and through the ferry boats. Every boat and train reaching the city during the night and morning, including many specials and extras, was thronged. Fifth Avenue was captured by visitors, and the houses of Jay Gould, Vanderbilt and other mag? nates were thronged with country people crowded back from the stoops and into the balls by the pressure from the pave? ments. ^^^^^ A Big Cottou Crop. New Orleans, August 7.?The July report of the National Cotton Exchange says of the cotton crop : "The weather conditions during July over the whole belt have been very lavorable to the growth and development of the plant, such as were needed, whereas last year they were abnormal. Then drought in Texas and excessive rains in Alabama and the Atlantic States put the plant in a very critical condition, requiring the most favorable circumstances to maintain its health fulness. This year there was no extreme in any State and the condi? tions were as a rule alike favorable to bottom lands and uplands. Cultivation has been pushed and crops have been laid by in good trim, with very little loss to the stand in cutting out grass. The plant has grown rapidly and has main? tained almost perfect health except in some localities, and as a rule the back? wardness, due to late planting, has been nearly if not entirely overcome. The percentage has been advanced to 97 against 92 at the close of June." The following is the condition of the crop by States; Virginia 90, South Car? olina 97, Florida 90, Tennessee 94,?Lou isiana 98, Arkansas 97, North Carolina 95, Georgia 98, Alabama 95, Mississippi 98, Texas 98. ? Mr. Ben Gause, who lives in Wood berry township, paid us a pleasant call last week and related to us a queer cir? cumstance in which he had seven hogs killed. The hogs were lying in a hole about ten feet from a tree, with a fence intervening during a thunder storm, when a bolt of electricity passed through the tree, buring a hole about ten inches in diameter, and about eighteen inches from the trunk, striking a root it passed under the fence and came out from the ground just under the hogs, killing seven. Mr. Gause says the hole in the tree was very distinct and looked like some one had cut it, so nicely was it douc. The fence nor the trunk of the tree were not in tho least hurt.-?Marion Star. Sunday School Convention. A Convention of tho Mothodist Sunday Schools of Anderson County met at Provi? dence, July 29th and 30th, Col. J. G. Clinkscalos, First Vieo-Prosidont, pre? siding. A very large proportion of tho delegates were present, and tho discus? sions were very generally engaged in. Short, pertinent speeches presentod the subjects from different aspects, making the discussions thorough, ns well as in? teresting.
