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?

'?' .--?
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

? 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

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

from the financial agency of the Semi?
nary at the end of the preasant year.?

? 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

? According to the Sumter, Ga., Re

man should not be suited in the shape of
his watermelons, and have them long,

j ? The cotton crop this year will be
enormous. Texas is counting on 2,000,

seasons and freedom from the cotton
worm, will probably produce 2,500,000.
The piospects look to a yield of 8,000,000

This would be an ennnuous yield?about
I one million more than in 1882, the great

Eczema.
For the benefit of suffering humanity,
I decui it only my duty to give this unso?
licited testimony in favor of Swift's Spe?
cific. My wife has been afflicted with
Eczema from infancy. We tried every
known remedy, but to no avail. Sbe w,as
also afflicted with a periodical nervous
headache, sometimes followed by nn In?
termittent fever, so that hor life became a
burden to her. Finally I determined to
try Swift's Specific. She commenced
.seven weeks ngo. Alter taking the first
large bottle the disoa.su seemed to increase;
the burning, itching and inflammation
became unbearable. She however, per?
severed in the use of the medicine. After
taking the second bottle the inflammation
began to subside. After tho third bottle
the inflammation disappeared, and sore
spots dried un auoV turned white and
scaly, and finally she brushed them off in
an impalpable white powder resembling
pure salt. She is now taking tho sixth
bottle j every appcaranco of the disease Is
gone, and her flesh is soft and white as a
child's. Her headaches have disappeared
and she enjoys the only good health she
has known in 40 years" No wonder sho
deems every bottle of S. S. S. as worth a
thousand times times its weight in gold.

Nothing but the Truth.
Mb. 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.
