The Ohio Democrats have renomimv! ted Governor Hoadley and Lieut-Gov. Warwick,, practically without opposition, upon an incidental protective tariff plat? form. There BeemB tb be great enthusi? asm and hope of success among the party leaders in. that State. j The Qreenviile 'News, of Wednesday, j contained the following special dispatch " tom^t^olumbia, ? dated August 25th: "Charleston was struck by a cyclone .Mb morning>nd.bne-fourth of. the houses in the city are unroofed. Part/ of St.. Mi? chael's spire is destroyed and the steeple: of the' Baptist Church is down. Wharves 'and warehouses are badlydamaged.

The lose is estimated at one million dollars." ?? i /i '?' .--? The Hampton (-ruardian says: ; Since the contest for the Charleston col-! j, . lectorship has been settled it leaks out that ?it! was through 'the anfluence>of Senator ? Hampton that Mr. Jervey secured the ap ?pointraent. The Senator-was always a welcome guest at the White House during President. ? Arthur's administration, and ^bwTit seems that he is even more popular with President Cleveland,"and ? 1s favored more tbah his brother Senators when visit-' i ing the President'3 mansion. Senator Hampton has achieved bis influence by not unduly pressing his re? quests for official favors, upon the Presi? dents. .When a mattet, of real import? ance arise* he is listened to with the uttermost respect and confidence. ^The Ne^berry Observer thus announces its platform on the convict question: Is there anything in the leasing system thai neoessarily renders it cruel and op? pressive, and more objectionable than other methods of employing convicts ? We think not.t Why not Cttien correct the abuses, and provide such penalties and punishments for those who are guilty of those cruelties as will put a stop to them ? We agree with the Observer that there is.np.ieason why convicts cannot, under proper restrictions, be worked outside of | the penitentiary. The late Act is rigid enough, and-we apprehend that no trou? ble will occur under it. In the meantime^ however, we think the State should pre? pare for the permanent employment of its convicts in the penitentiary as goon as this can be done without a burden to the State. It wpnld jbe.'wellfor the advocates of I -free..tuition in the Sooth. Carolina Uni? versity, who hide themselves behind the Constitutional provision, claiming that they' could hot, if they wanted to do so, :.cmake charges for tuition in the Universi? ty, to explain why the Board of Visitors /of theCitadel Academy, who are as much bound by the Constitution as the . Trusteeaof the University, charge tuition from Btndents who attend without being appointed one of the beneficiary cadets. The two institutions rest upon precisely the same Constitutional grounds, so far as tuition. is concerned;. and yet one charges and the other does not. It might : do for some Judge/of the Supreme Court to certify .to the Constitutionality of the ' proceeding in each case, eo as to atop the untutored mind from imagining that the best reason for the difference is that the Citadel has no serious competition in the Statev and therefore it is unnecessary for it- to 3eek students by unusual induce . ment^^hile the University seeks by free tuition toi command an'atteadance which it might -not otherwise get if it competed fairly with the other' Colleges of the ^State. '";. V ? The speech of Mr. C.'H. Moise, of Sumter, before the farmers' meeting at Eennettaville, is a strong'argument in favor of temperance," though we think he takes a partial View of the remedies to be employed to rid the country of drunk? enness. , We agree with him that the tastes of the people should be led to milder drinks, but the ,be3t way is to proh ibit the temptation of strong drink . from rising offered to them /upon oar 3 streets. The prohibition of the sale of : spirituous-' liquors, under our present license laws, wonid not interfere with the manufacture; and use of domestic wines made from grapes and berries. / W? think he overstates the argument when hesaja the craving for liquor was given by a wise Creator because it is use? ful to man, for many of the desires of man's heart are cot the promptings of - his Creator, but of another important individual whose influence is always present for evil. We think "prevention ia better than cure," and therefore it is better for the State in Counties where the u people are ready for it, to prevent the evils of granting license, rather than seek to curia those evils after the license is granted. His argument against strong drink ia so powerful that the legitimate conclusion from it isthat the State should, whenever the people are ready for it, prohibit by law the vending of strong drink. The Pickens Sentinel says: Mr. J. C. Stribjtng in a recent number of the Chiton. Plant, advises against raising crops of tobacco. Some of his reasons are that it is more troublesome than cotton; it is the filthiest thing out; the dilapidated tobacco bsnjs and Impoverished hills of Virginia where tobacco was once the staple product; and tobacco Is a luxury, but cot f ton is a necessity.. The main question with every man is to run the machine that will make money, luxury or no luxury. Not a merchant in the whole country has a dollar's ' worth of hard stock either in cotton goods or tobacco. If the hills ot Virginia have been worn, out by tobacco, there is more reason, why there should be a demand for the crop raised in this country, for we have many hills to spare. e agree with the Sentinel. We want a diversified industry. We want to raise every crop that will pay, and we have the uttermost faith in tobacco as a profitable staple for this section of the State. We have not visited the tobacco sections of Virginia, but we know that the experi? ence of the North Carolina planters is that tobacco is a profitable crop where properly cultivated and handled. We do not- believe that tobacco would pay as a gole crop, but for that mutter nothing will pay that VayVnot evpu cotton or corn Itself. We want a ?iTeril?ed cQntwtioii, Cotton brings its money in the Fall. To* bacco brings its in the Spring. A half crop in acreage of eachs.would,,; we be? lieve, be bettet than a -'whole.^bp of either. There is no uioisb ;dwpidated plantations in the country than one will find on auch places as seek to run ah exclusive cotton culture. The -same causes may have operated to injure the Virginia tobacco planter. We should seek diversified agriculture anddiversifield Industries of all kinds if we would suc? ceed, and it would be wise and judicious for onr farmers to try a few rows of to? bacco to see for themselves how its cul? ture will work in practice. . The Stock Show to be held at Pendle* [ ton on the eighth of October next, was an assured success as soon as the determina? tion ' of the Pendleton Farmers' Club to hold it was announced. There is no part of the State which has as, great a variety and aa much high bred cattle and stock as Pendleton and its vicinity. This has led this society to offer a prize of one hundred .dollars for. a lot of ten colts of any strain under three years old raised in the State. The colts from old Pendleton District, which now comprises Anderson, Pickens and Oconee Counties, are to .compete against, the balance of the State, and it is confidently expected that ten colts will be secured from .these three Counties which will excel any ten colts from the exhibit from the balance of the State. Not only is the stock show a success, but the new feature of an auction sale bids fair to be one of the most attractive^ features of the exhibit. Over five thousand dollars worth of reg? istered and blooded stock has already been assigned for unconditional sale. This will attract quite a crowd of visitors from all parts of the State, and prove one of most important departures that has be6n made by onr agricultural gath? erings in this State. It will encourage the raising of fine stock, and by the dis? semination of choice.animals front pur? chases at these sales will do a great deal in a practical way to improve the stock of the State. The members of the Pen? dleton Farmers' Club are to be congratu? lated upon their energy and enterprise in instituting these exhibits and sales, which are destined to work so mach good in our State. Every man who at? tends the exhibit will want a fine cow, and will feel disposed to try raising a colt. There is more money in this than in raising cotton, and the movers in these shows, who thus promote a diversi? ty of farm industry, will be benefactors of their race. The Atlanta Constitution has joined the crusade against old bachelors, and urges the Georgia Legislature to tax them in the following strong argument: "The number of old bachelors is increas? ing in every community. They try to be very gay and frivolous, and are anxious to leave au impression that they are happy, but they cannot conceal the fact that they are bald-headed and thin-legged. Married men in certain cases made and provided have a perfect right to be. bald-headed and thin-legged; but a bald-headed and thin legged old bachelor is a standing insult to the community in which he lives. "What - right has he to be bald-headed and thin -legg? ed ? What righ t has he to pretend to be com* fortable and to assume all the privileges of citizenship, when he has evaded. the first and most important duty of a citizen ? Let the bill to tax them be hurried forward in its passage. The times are ripe for it." We believe in fair play,.and it does not strike us that such a bill should be passed without inserting a proviso, that if the bachelor in question could show conclusively that he had courted two or more girls at some time in his life, he should be exempt from such taxation, In all matters of government fines, taxes and penalties should be equal, and upon this principle if the bachelor tax passes would it not be right to impose a similar tax upon all ladies who remain unmar? ried after tbey arrive at the age of thirty years? Here again we think the lady should be exempt from taxation by show? ing clearly that she was never invited to marry any man. This, however, is dis? cussing an impossible condition of things, for we believe that by the universal con? sent of all mankind, to which the mem? ory of man runneth not to the contrary, no unmarried lady is ever more than thirty years of age, and therefore if such a law were passed there would be no per? sons against whom it could be enforced. Our State's Glorious Prospects. Baltimore Manufacturers' Record. Columbia, August 20.?The cotton and corn crops at this time are the most promising in many years. The yield of cotton in South Carolina in 1884 was 525,000 bales. The area this year is 1,722,117 acres. The condi? tion of the crop is better than at any period since 1870, with the possible ex? ception of 1882. Well informed cotton growers place, the yield this year at 861, 058 bales or one bale to two acres. If this estimate is realized, it will bean increase of 335,106 bales over last year's crop, worth at least $15,000,000. The South Carolina corn crop of 1884 was 13,320,000 bushels. The area this year is 1,420,297 acres, and the condition simply splendid. The early crop is "made." The yield will be fully 17,000, 000 bushels?an increase of 4,000,000 bushels over last year. The appearance of the caterpillar in some sections of the State excites some apprehension araoug the farmers, but so far only slight damage has been reported. The small grain crop?wheat and oats ?was short, owing to the severe winter and other causes. The farmers will supply the deficiency in the small grain crop, to a great extent, by other forage crops, and by the unusual yield of the corn crop. The returns to the State department of agricol'nre show that the aggregate amount of agricultural liens (given to obtain advances upon the growing crops) is $3,000,000 less than in 1882, notwith? standing the fact that the intervening years 1883 and 1884 were unfavorable crop years. There is no better evidence than this of the financial condition of the farmers of the State. In the face of the facts I have given comment is unnecessary. They show for themselves the prospect-* of improve ment in trade and manufactures. L. A. Ransom. ? Sometime ago a lamp filled with kerosene oil exploded in Dr. A. M. Binder's bed room in Orangeburg County. The explosion was caused by an improp? er fitting wick and attempting to extin? guish the light by blowing down the chimney. The lamp was shattered into atoms, one piece striking Mrs. Snider, who was some distance off, cutting a severejrasb in her foot. The clothing of Mrs. Snider and her little baby were badly burned, but neither of them were much ioji-'red. The doctor, who was standing right over the lamp, was not touched by either the oil or tbe flying particles of glass. 5 Infant Murderers. I A peculiar aiid important case was in? vestigated by Trial Justic Calhpun last Saturday in which George Gibson, aged 8 years, and Delia Jordan, aged 9 years, were charged with the murder of Jessie Jordan, aged one year and three months, all colored. Delia Jordan is the illegiti? mate daughter of George Jordan, the father of toe murdered child. She was taken from her mother to nurse Jessie, the legitimate son of George by his legal wife. George Gibson was a chap on the place who sometimes helped Delia to nurse. The mother of Delia was anx? ious to get her back and Delia was tired of nursing. Matthew Pressly, another illegitimate child of Delia's mother, offered Delia 5 cents to kill the baby. George Gibson was also tired of nursing and went into the plot. Delia took down a gun to kill the child in the morn? ing but desisted on the approach of a white man. She was taken to the field and George Gibson left with the baby. He took down the gun and blazed away, hitting the baby at the naval and killing it instantly. Then George carried the dead baby out into the grass and went to work to wash the blood stains away. Trial Justice Calhoun sent the children to jail to await their trial. He conld do nothing else under the law.?Abbeville Medium. _' _ ? Few persons are aware of the ex? tensive nature of the victualing on board the great ocean steamers. Each vessel is provisioned as follows for the passen? gers and crew: 8,500 pounds of butter, 8,000 hams, 1,600 pounds of biscuits, exclusive of those supplied for the crew; 8,000 pounds of grapes, almonds, figs and other desert fruits; 1,500 pounds of jams and jellies; tinned meats, 6,000 pounds; dried beans, 3,000 pounds; rice, 3,000 pounds; onions, 5,000 pounds; potatoes, 40 tons; flour, 300 barrels; eggs, 1,200 dozen. Fresh vegetables, dead meat, and. live bullocks, sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks, fowls, fish and casual game are generally supplied at London, so that it is difficult to estimate them. Probably two dozen. bullocks and sixty sheep would be a' fair average for the whole voyage and the rest may be inferred in Proportion. During the Summer mouths, when traveling is heavy, twenty-five fowls are often used in soup for a single dinner. ? Our farmers do not eat. enough. They rely too much upon the fryingpan. As soon as possible they should revolu? tionize their cookery and diet It is re? ported that the horrible disease, lapella gra, that for the last century baa deci? mated the field laborers of Lombardy at the rate of eighty out of a thousand has now begun to ravage Southern France. Lapellagra is a disease peculiar to per? sons overworked, insuficiently nourished, and fed upon unwholesome, food. For centuries this disease has spread among the fanners of Europe. It will some day strike the same class in this country. Farmers should be the best fed clasB of our people. In addition to vegetables and cereals they require a plenty of the best beef and mutton. ? Some one has said that "when we come to die we will find that all we have is what we have given away." This strange declaration seems to be warrant? ed by what our Saviour said to a certain young man: "If thou wilt be perfect, go, sell what thou hast, and give to the Eoor, and thou sbalt have treasure in eaven." The declaration filled the young man's mind with grief and he went away, "for he was one that bad great possessions." God had bestowed upon him the means of doing a great deal of good, but he was unwilling to use the possessions which God had given him for the purpose for which they were given. ? One of the members of the board of directors of the Columbia Theological Seminary passing through the city to-day, gave me the following information: The board met in Augusta yesterday and elected the Bev. Dr. C. C. Hersmao, of Missouri, to the chair of Biblical litera? ture and exegesis, and the Bev. Dr. Baughu to the chair of pastoral theology. A motion was made to elect a Perkins professor, but it was laid on the table by an almost unanimons vote. Dr. Mack gave notice of his purpose to withdraw from the financial agency of the Semi? nary at the end of the preasant year.? Columbia Corretpondence Neiot ana Couri? er. ? Mr. J. AdUie All, an industrious and worthy young farmer of Barn well County, was accidentally killed while leaving. Blackville, on. the evening of August 14, with a coiton gin which he bad bad repaired, and was taking home in bis wagon. It seems that it was quite dark, and that Mr. All, in driving along the road, accidentally ran the fore-wheel of his wagon into a gully. This caused the vehicle to careen, when he fell out and the gin was thrown with its whole weight upon his breast, death ensuing almost instantly.. ? ? Mr. Geo. A. Counts, who resides near St. Paul's Church, has 3 acres of land lying between two little branches that he has owned and planted in corn I every year for 45 years, and he says he knew it to be planted in corn for a num? ber of years before he owned it. From these three acres he has gathered oo an average. 100 bushels of corn each year. Think of it, friends, 4,500 bushels of corn in 45 years off of three acres of land. Who can beat this ??Prosperity j Reporter. ? According to the Sumter, Ga., Re \ publican, there' is no reason why every man should not be suited in the shape of his watermelons, and have them long, round or with necks, as taste may dictate, lit says: "If you want to raise long melons, save only the Beed from the mid? dle third of the melon; for round, save from the bloom end; for melons with necks, save the seeds from the stem end. We have seen this tried often and have never known it to fail." ? The police have not made a single I arrest since prohibition went into effect in Clarke County, and Sheriff Wier says it is breaking up his business and will ruin the courts. No new cases are dock? eted, and when the old business is dis? posed of it really seems aa if we might afford to dispense with half of our courts. If any man don't think prohibition pro? hibits, just let him visit Athens.?Ban J ner- Watchman. ? A woman iu Scott Couuty, Ark., when told her husband had hanged him self, said: "Look here, man, don't come trying to play none o' your jokes on I me." "It's a fact," her informer solemn I ly declared. "Not trying to play a prank?" "No." "Well, that's all right, then. I do hate for a person to skylark with me when I'm busy. I wonder whar Abe got the rope."?Arkansaw Traveller j ? The cotton crop this year will be enormous. Texas is counting on 2,000, 000 bales, and, with continued good seasons and freedom from the cotton worm, will probably produce 2,500,000. The piospects look to a yield of 8,000,000 I bales in the cotton growing States. This would be an ennnuous yield?about I one million more than in 1882, the great I cotton year. With such a yield the price will no doubt be low. \ ? There were violent shocks of earth I quake last woek in the Blue Bidge j Mountains, in Watauga County, N.

Tom brought bis snake ship home with him and now has it safely confined in a box. Tom has a fondness for snakes, catch? them alive and does not mind laying down and sleeping with them. >> ? If the statement be true that pro hibition injures the business of a com munity, we find ourselves face to face with the startling proposition that sober community cannot do business profitably as a drunken community. This is the position of the anti-prohibitionists when it is put in plain English. ; ? The Mormons have purchased 1,000,000 acres in Northern Mexico, and are going to work in earnest to locale colony there. In the course of time the main body of the saints may drift down that way.

Editok : We zic now approaching the harvest-time of our Summer crops Providence has singularly blessed us all in various ways this season. It delights the eye of even the wayfaring man to view the wide-spreading ?elds of corn and cotton which deck this sunny land of ours from its four corners. Prosperity stares us in the face The rains continue to come? corn and cotton to grow. Everybody is happy, and verily we have many things to be thankful for; yet there is one thing none of us seem to appreciate as we ought, and it is that in order to be prosperous in this world a man must bo as careful in saving as he is in making. For instance, the Fruit Crop is short, and yet there will be enough wasted in this County this sea? son to feed a regiment of hungry soldiers six months. If our people would go to the little expense, and less trouble, of securing a package of this Fruit Preserver from Hill Bros., they could keep all the fruit and vegetables they didn't neod this Sum? mer for next Winter, thereby saving great expense and providing a luxury for them? selves and family. There is no doubt but that the prepara? tion will do what is claimed for it. Some of our best people used it last year, and arc using it, and recommending it to their friends, this season. We wish to sec everybody prosperous, happy and comfortable, and would sug? gest that, in order to be so, they must look closely after small matters. More anon. RUSTICUS. August 20,1885_G_ MRS. C. R.
