E. 15. MUltltAY, Editor. TH?R8DAY, AUGUST IS. 1886. Tr RM ta i OMET?AU. .tfl.OO. SIX MONTHS. 78c Two Voltura tr not patti In advance. Tiro Greenville Newt endH thc discus sion of the report of the Committee to in vest?galo thc chargea of cruelty to con victa on thc Greenwood & Augusta Rail road, by proposing to ?how that all the testimony available waa not taken, or that tho report dot?? not conform to tho testimony, if we will furnish it a copy of tho testimony taken, and a file of the Nkvs and Courier. This is asking more than wo csu perform. Wc will cheer fully lend our friend thc testimony if it will be of any service to bim, but wo have no fire oF tho Neta and Courier, and therefore, bis conditions arc impossible for us to comply with. Wo thought tho Greeuvillo New? professed to know whereof it spoke about this report, hut it now appears that its knowledge con sista merely d' Impressionr. made in au investigation which a newspaper reporter made, in which tho witnesses were not under oath. Tho Committee, wo repeat, summoned and examined on oath every witness whose namo was given them, or who they had any reasons to think knew anything of tho subject matter of the enquiry. Its conclusions were moro likoly to he correct than those of a news paper correspondent who liad to depend upon what was told him by persons not Rworn. In addition to this presumption, wo havo thc testimony to provo tho cor rectness of the report. The meeting of tho Saluda Baptist Association with thc Turkey Creek Church, in Abbeville County, last week waa one of the most interesting and most largely atteuded sessions the body has over held. It was composed of progress ive, earnest men, and tho work of tho session is likely tn prove of lasting bene fit to tho causo in which tho Association is laboring. During the past year the Churches in the Association- contributed over 92,200 to tho benevolent operations in which the Association is engaged. It resolved to raise this year two thousand dollars on the permanent endowment of Furmau University, nnd twenty-five hun dred dollars for mission?. It adopted strong temperance resolutions, and urged the Churches to enforce them. During tho Association tho Turkey Creek Church celebrated its centennial anivorsary, Rev. Charles Manly, D. D., preaching tho sermou, and Rev, Miko McGeo reading tho historical sketch, which will bo print ed in the minutes. Rev. W. H. King P reich ed tho introductory sonnen, and Rev. H. B. Fant the missionary sermou. Row J, S. Murray was re-elected Mode rator, Rov. Mike McGee Clerk, and Dr. John A. Robinson Assistant Clerk and Treasurer. The entertainment of guests waa firaply provided for, aud the utter most hospitality extended by tho mem bers of the Turkey Creek Church aud the neighboring community. Tho Asso ciation next year will meot with tho _ Hopowoll Church. Tho Joint Ifnpntfr M??llUg 0! Th? Agricultural Society aud of the Stato Orango'atBennottsvillo last week was a decided success. It was hold in ono of the finest agricultural sections of tho State, and during ouo of tho moat pro pitious years that we havo ever had, so that thoso who attended saw tho very highest conditions of agriculture iu South Carolina. The meeting discussed, in a practical way, many very important agriculture subjects, and the interchango of views will doubtless be of value to the whole Stato. Among the many im portant matters considered, perhaps tho moat Important action taken was the recommandation that the State establish an experimental farm. This is a step in the right direction. Our agricultural department, both National and Stato, ia too much confined to the theoretical to tho neglect of the practical. It would be' - bettor if tho national government would establish a series of experimental farms in. connection with its Department of Agricultural, for tho means ot the gov ernment are sufficient to carry out the experiments fully and thoroughly, and to publish and distribute tho methods ; and results to all tho agriculturists of tho country. Wo haye rio doubt that this work will .eventually bo undertaken by . the general government,, but in tho mean time lt ls desirable for thc Stato 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. Theas agricultural meetings are benefi cial to the farmers, and St ls desirable that they shall not be confined to the Stato meetings, but every'County and Township should have its Orango or Agricultural Club, to meet frequently for tho_exchange bf opinion and thq.dlraem inatloo of agricultural knowledge. - : OKWaiOU SIDBT Our contemporary, the Anderson Jour nai, hos for some time past been publish ing extracts upon the working of the ?prohibition law, most of which have tended to chow that tho law does not work wy*I, but until last week it has not contained any editorial upon the subject, ' a* far us wo'remember, Hinco the ptesent agitation arose. Last week it Baya : : The subject o. ^prohibition1' may be said , ia to a live question In Anderson County, for the maller Infrequently brought tip for discussion nt public meetings, and orte can hear mors or less talk about It almost ?very day, Tho r abilo speech?. and t?r that matter tho, newspaper writings, aro almost without "?rjept?on ell on one sido -opposed lo tho granting of licenses to soil Spirituous liquor*. Aa * general thing the f.Tc?ili>ltioflfct.i toko ari ideal view of tba ni alter.' dwell upc* tho evils consequent upon the uso ?if irttoxlcai*ng liquors, then picture a happy stafo of affaire that is emf neatly desirable, and urea prohibition as a 'rcao*y.?eau8 to bri ty about that state of affairs. Many Jo nos coincide with the prohibition movement, not front sympathy with ino liquor traffic, but on the ground ihatsfcrfefc r?gulai ton ia jnore practical and there-ion more SidisSwltfry than attempt ed tonjority,-because, ,'>;do from, thc j urn* of the alieno?, tbife are not ?.few 1 wbo^Iift?d ih?t ca ?rito, ral* of Ifcjtett? is mloiftwm wither than a,'-?&??. *>Srt ?.'vlMiottt'-polico protection. ia ojia cjp?inwhtch.*vejy 'Xtopu\. to bia etalon, and (he Jcys ual will in tho future, rvs in the past, give publicity to mutters of fuel and argument weighing on both sides, hut if prohibition i s adopted it sinccroly hope* lo ree those who vote for it strive ty carry it ont. From thc?o remarks our contempora ry's vlewn upon this important subject are not very clear. In fact, it may bo read either as s very mild and timid en dorsement of the prohibition movement, or it may ho taken asa timorous effort in tho direction of antagonizing prohibition ; or yet again it may appear to bc a skillful oxhibition of fcuccridlng on the subject. The iNTKhLtUKKCEIt is strongly in favor of prohibition. We believe the people waut it and thit they ought to have it. Wo think it will do our County a great deal of good, nul we feel Ihr.t it is our duty aa 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 wo arc to have itu opposition wc would like lo know it. The people would like to know also. Therefore, wo would Uko for our contemporary to elucidate its views on prohibition a little more clearly by saying whether it favors or opposes prohibition. We know that wo cannot compel our contemporary to take a posi tion on thin or any other Huhjoct, bul we wish to tall its attention to what appeara to bc a piece of fence-riding, in order that it may show its independence by declaring its true place In tho pending contest. ?>oen tho Journal favor or oppose prohibition ? The (1 reen ville New? says : "Well, wall, well. lloro ls tho Ander son 1NTKI.MOKXUKU straggling Into camp and taking position among thu oppononts ot free tuition in tho Hiato college. Our cstoomod cotomporary is n Milo lalo, but it is a good mid servlceabln recruit and wo welooino lt anti nro willing to lot bygones bo bygones." Our friend seems surprised at the posi tion of tho ?NTlil.MORKCEIt on the freo tuition question, and speaks nf us as coming straggling in on tho sido of tho opposition. Tho INTELLIGENCER has never occupied any other position un this subject than that which lt now holds. Ita Editor, an a member of thc Legisla ture, al the very time when tho appro priation to ro-open tho University was pending during tho session of 18W, offered tho proviso appended to tho sec tion which provides for ono student to bo appointed from ench County, who shall bo entitled to tuition free of charge, re quiring thoso who accept tho benefits of thU ?action to teach for two years after be graduates in the common schools of the County from which ho was appoint ed. This shows that wo did not then expect tuition tobo free of charge to all, for it imposed on obligation upon thoso who were expected to rcceivo tuition without charge. In addition to this, tho Editor of this paper moto ?hau a yr.nr ago .urged tho president of ono ot u-. Collegcs in tho Hiato to coasc tho opposi tion to tho University, and then lot us all join in the movemout to put all of the educational institutions of tho Stato upon an equnlity, so that merit should be the element which shall control tho tttendnncc of students. We do not believe in a great University bidding for tho attendance of students by making ita education free. Wo would rather seo lt cornmaud ti liber\? patronage by tho excellence of its course of instruction. Therefore, we desire to Bee the Colleges out tho other? by using tho taxing ptm?>. of tho State to command an attendance which its morita would not ontitlo it to. But not only hat tho Editor of tho Ix TKMJIUKNCKU thus evidenced his person al viowa upon tho subject, but this pa per last January, in a controversy with tho Newberry Obterver, said : Wo would say hero, however, that we do not favor ?ree tuition in the State University. In our opinion thoso able to send their eons or wards to the Univer sity shor.ld pay their tuition fecB, but their should be an unlimited number of beneficiary scholarships for distribution among the young men of the State, who have not the moana of defraying all their expenses. If those who have heretofore made their fight upon the South Carolioa University would cnaie their opposition to the University sud a proper appropri ation to it, and introduce a bill to require the payment of tuition fees by thoso who are able to do so, thoy would find voy many of those who are strong friends of the University agreeing with them. We would rather have the University as it is tuan none at r.U, but we would st tho samo time rather aes the standard raised and a highor gtade institution established. Wo do not mean by thia to criticise the present institution, for we think it has made very satisfactory progress, but we want the good work carried ea until it is tho peer of the University of Virginia, ot Yale, or of John Hopkins University. In addition to this, tho Editor of tho INTELLIGENCER was about two months ago placed on a Oommitteo as in part representing Furronn University in the effort now being ruade to abolish freo tuition in the Stato 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 Un i ve rait y at all. But we are heartily in favor of doing away with free tuition,, where the students have tho means to pay for their education. Our friend will sec from this that the ? NTKIJLK?BNCER is DO straggler, and that we neither ask, nor are we willing, to let bygones be bygones as to our position on thia question. It is a source of gratifica tion, however, to Hod ourselves on the same aide of some questions with the Greenville Nam, even if we do get our, position from different standpoint*. i ?MMIIHIMWM.?.i.II - - A bachelor in Sidney, Neb., an swered a matrimonial advertisement in aa Omaha naper a fow.days ago, and re quested a photograph.

Saturday was a very hot day in New York and thu nun beat pitilessly on the streets, but there was such a crowd and Buch a parade as thc great city has never had before. The route of the funeral procession was nine miles long and every loot ot'tho way wa*> thlougcd with people packed on the sidewalks und out into the gutters, swarming on the stoops and step*, clus tering on thc telegraph polen und throng ing every vindow and door. Every building was elaborately decorated wita crape, and "ag* l>y the thousands wero drooping ut half-mast in every direction. Thc Air was lilied with the sound ol'dirges and funeral marches from bress bands, and from thu river, where all the men of war wero drawn in line and hundreds of vessels with hulf'tmistcd flags crowded thu water, slow minute guns boomed solemnly. All the bells lolled and the chimes played appropriately solemn airs. The procession was beaded by Major Clouerai Hancock in f?ll uniform mount ed on u magnificent black horse, lio was followed by 1.1(1 brilliantly uniformed aides, mounted. OOO men of tho .Otb artillery, U. S. A., followed with their guns, and wore followed hy long lines ol mariues, sailors und 1,500 infantry of tho United States army. Thirty-two regi ments of the national guard nod a num ber of separate companies came next, marching in nie? of ten and twenty. One colored regiment from l'eunsylvamu and companies from Virginia, North Carolina and Georgin wero among those. The southern troop?, the Pennsylvanians and tho Seventh Now Y_,rk regiment appeared in grey. All marched with reversed arms. After the militia carno tho catafalque, a structure twelve feet high surmounted by a canopy with black plumes. Tho wheels and body were covered with royal purple velvet so as to make it appear as a solid mass. The casket rested under tho canopy. lt boro no ornaments except a "G" made of oak leaves by General Grunt's little granddaughter and a child of Dr. Douglass on tho day Gen. Grant died. An artillery company of regulars marched on one side, single tile, and an infantry company on the other. The fumily and relative? of Gen. Grant, detachments of grand army posts, the President, Vice President ana mern hers of thc cabinet, tho Supreme Court, Senators, members of the House of Rep resentatives, Governor and Legislature of Now York, foreign Ministers, diplomatic and consular ollicers, sevonteon govornors and their stalls, heads of bureaux, Gens. Sheridan, Schofiold and Meriti und their staffs, ten mayors and a committee of 101 from New York, pall bearers, physi cians und clergymen followed in carri ages, there being over four hundred car riages four abreast. A tremendous force of veterau organizations and civic socio lies followed. There were .r>?{O?0 men in tho line which was eight miles long. Over five hours was occupied in thc march although all who followed the body did not march thnt diutuuee, hoing drawn up on each side of tho line of march aud falling in order, beginning nearest the city hall. Thc spectacle was : therefore, added to by tho fact that through much of the route tho process inn passed between solid lines of uni tn %5?Ii?*kft*rhe procession moved at 10 o'clock suer ii... ,i L. . ? There was considerable c?n?^'1'\ *\ *. vault, whore the lino became eutangVi? iu the tremendous multitude, two bauds Cloyed different airs, aud tho artillorv ecamo displaced. General Hancock's horso WOB prostrated, and he was forced to completo the journey standing in ?. carriage. An element of fun was presout at tho vault iu tho shape of a large stand for sightseers erected at much expense ami left without occupants. It bore tho iuscription "we mourn our loss" which was accepted by tho crowd as applying to tho pecuniary results of the specula tion. The Methodist funeral service was read and the ritual of tho grand armv nu avtuubu, nov. II moir U10 CO?JU was placed in a cedar casket which was put lu a steel case in the vault. The doors of that Btructuro woro then locked and tho funeral was over, tho Meade post, Grand Ai.ny if the Republic, of which Gen. Grant was a memocr, firing a salute of musketry. There is no means uf estimating the crowds. Almost all of New York's million people were present to view the procession, and Brooklyn sent a stream pouring over tho bridge and through the ferry boats. Every boat and train reaching the city during the night and morning, including many specials und extras, was thronged. Fifth Avenue was captured by visitors, and the houses of Jay Gould, Vanderbilt and other mag nates wero thronged with country people crowded back from tho stoops and into tho balla by tho pressure from tho pave ments._ A Rig Cotton Crop. NEW OIU.EANH, August 7.-The July report of the National Cotton Exchange says of the cotton crop : "The weather conditions during July over the whole heit have b?en very lavo ruble 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 aod the Atlantic States put the plant In a very critical condition, requiring the most mvorablo circumstances to maintain its healthfulness. Thia year there was - co extreme in any State aud the condi tions wore as a rulo aliko favorable to bottom lauds and uplands. Cultivation hos 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 91! at the close of June." The following is the condition of the crop hy States ; Virginia 90, South Car olina 97, Florida 90, Tennessee 9^Lou isiana 98, Arkansas 97, North Carolina 95, Georgia 98, Alabama 95, Mississippi 98, Texas 98. - - Mr. 'Ben Gauso. who lives in Wood berry township, paid us a pleasant call last week and related to us a queer cir cumstance in which he bad seven hogs killed. Tho 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 Inchon from the trunk, striking a root it passed under the fence and came out from'the ground just under the hogs, killing seven. Air. Gauso says tho hole in the tree wAs very distinct and looked Uko some one had cut it, so nicely was it done. The fence nor the trunk of the tree were not io the least hurt.-J/anoa Star.
