The Ohio Democrats have renomlna ted Governor Hoadley and Lieut Gov. Warwick, practically without opposition, upon an incidental protective tariff plat form. There seems lo be great enlbuai a*m aud hope of succe?9 among the party leaden in that State. The Greenville Newt, of Wednesday, contained tl.-J following special dispatch from i Columbia, dated August 2Gth : "Charleston was struck by a cyclone this morning and one-fourth of the houses in the city aro unroofed. Tart of St. Mi chael's spiro is destroyed and tho steeple of the Baptist Cburcli is down. Wharves and warehouses aro badly damaged. At Sullivan's Island two steamers are aground. The new Ashley River Bridge is swept away. Four vessels which ar rived yesterday are wrecked. The tele graph wires are down and no cars are running. The loss is estimated nt one million dollars." The Hampton Uuardian sayB : Since the contest for thc Charleston col lcctornhip hos been settled it leaks out that it was through the influen?a of Senator Hampton that Mr. Jervey secured tho ap pointment. The Senator was always a welcome guest at the White House dur ?UK President Arthur's administration, and 11 ow it seems that he is even more popular with President Cloveland, and in favored more than his brother Senators when visit ing the President's mansion Senator Hampton has achieved bis influence by not unduly pressing his re quests for official favors upon the Presi dents. When a matter of real import ance arises he is listened to with the uttermost respect and confidence. The Nejyberry Observer thus announces ita platform on the convict question : Is there anything in the leasing system that necessarily rendors it erne*, and op pressive, and more objectionable than other methods of employing convicts? We think not. .Why not then correct ?ho abuses, and provide such penalties and punishments for those who are guilty of those cruelties an will put a stop to them ? We agree with the Observer that there ls no reason why convicts cannot, undor proper restrictions, be worked outsido of tho penitentiary. The lato Act is rigid enough, and wo apprehend that no trou ble will occur uuder it. In tho meanlimo, however, we think tho State should pre pare for the permanent employment of its convicts in tho penitentiary as soon as this can be done without a burdon to tho State._m . It would bo well for the advocates of free tuition in the South Carolina Uni versity, who hide themselves behind tho Constitution al provision, claiming that they could not, if they Wanted to do so, make charges for tuition in the Universi ty, to explain why the Board ot Visitors of the Citadel Academy? who aro as much bound by tho Constitution as tho Trastees of the University, charge tuition from students who attend without being appointed one of the beneficiary cadets. Tho two institutions rest upon precisely the same Constitutional grounds, so far aa tuition is concerned ? and yet one charges and tho other does not. It might do for some Judge of the Supreme Court to certify to tb? Constitutionality of the proceeding in each case, so as to stop the untutored mind from imagining that the best reason for tho difference is that the Citadel has no serious competition in the State, and therefore it is unnecessary for it to seek students by unusual induce monte, while the University seeks by free tuition to command an attendance which it might not othrrwise get if it competed fairly; with tho other . Colleges of th? State. J Tho speech of Mr. C H. Moise, of j Sumter, before th? farmers' meeting at Bcnnettavillo, io a strong'argument in livrer of temperance, though we think be takes a partial view of the remedies to be employed to rid the country of drank? ounces.: Wo ?gr?o with Vim that the tastes of the people ehould bo led to milder'drinks, but tho best way is to prohibit tho temptation of strong drink from'.being ottered to them upon our streets. The prohibition of tho sala of spirituous;liquors, under our present liccnco , laws, would hot interfere with , tho niau'ufactura and uso - of domestic wines made from grapes and berries. Wo think bo overstates the argument wbon ho saya tho craving for liquor Vas g?van by a wiso Creator becauso it is use* ful to : mao, for matty of the desire? of man's heart nra not the promptings of hh Creator, but of another important individual whoso Influenco Is always peasant for evil. We think "prevention fa better than core," and therefore it ls Mfctfor tho Stat? In Counties, where tho people are re4?dy;. for ; it, r to prevent the ovil? of granting. license, rather than aeek to cure those evil* after the 1 l?ense is granted. His argument against strong drluk is powerjfu? ; that tho legitimate concloaipu froni it ja that the State ehould, whooper the people are ready for lt, 'pro^4.b'^ by "aw ibo vending of strong drio?c /l,ho-I??cken?''t?&f< says: .

Wo should seek diversified agriculture and diversifield industries of all kinds il we would suc ceed, and it would be wise aud judicious for our farmers to try a few rows of to bacco to soe for themselves huw its cul turo will work in practico. Tho Stock Short- to he 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 uo part of the State which has as great a variety and as 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 comprires Anderson, Pickens and Oconee Counties, are to compete against the balance of the Slate, and it is confidently expected that ton colts will bc Bccured from these threo Counties which will excel any ten colts from tho exhibit from tho balance ol the State. Not only is the stock show a success, but the new feature of an auction sale bids fair to bo one of the most attractive, featured of the exhibit. Over five thousand dollars worth of reg istered nud blooded stock has already been assigned for unconditional sale. This will attract quite a crowd of viaitors from all parts of the State, and provo ono of most important departures that bas been made by our agricultural gath erings in this State. It will encourage the raising of fine stock, and hy the dis semination of choice animals from pur chases at these sales will do a great deal in a practical way to improve the stock of the State. The members of tho Pen dleton Farmets' Club are to be congratu lated upon their energy and enterprise in instituting these oxhlbits aud Bales, which are destined to work so much good in our State. Evory mau who at tende the exhibit will want ? fine cow, and will fcol disposed to try raising a colt. Tbore is moro money in this than in raising cotton, and (ho movers in these shows, who thus promote a diversi ty of farm industry, wil' bo benefactors of their race. Tho Atlanta ConttUution has joined tho crusade against old bachelors, and urges the Georgia Legislature to tax them in tho following strong argument : "The number of old bachelors is increas ing In everr community. Tbny try to be very gay and frivolous, and or J anxious to Ira vu an impresi?n that they aro happy, but they cannot conceal the fact that they aro bald-hcn-.lcd and tbin-leggcd. Married men in certain cases ruado 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 tho community in which ho lives. "What right hos he to ha bald-headed and thin-legg ed ? What right bas he to pretend to bc com* for table and to assume all tho privileges ot citizenship, when he bas evaded the Ural and most important duty of a citizen? Let tho bill to tax them be hurried forward in its passsgo. The times are ripe for it." We beliove in fair play, and lt doet not Btrike us that such a bill should bo paased without inserting a proviso that if the bachelor in question coule show conclusively that he had couria two or more girls at some time in his life ho Bhould be exempt from such taxation In all matters bf government fines, taxe and penalties should bo equal, and upoi this principle if the bachelor tax pasao would it not bo right to impose a simile tax upon all ladies who remain unmar ried after they arrlvo at tho age of thin, years? Here again wo think the lad; should be exempt from taxation by shot* lng dearly that she was never invited t marry any man. This, however, is dil cussing an impossible condition ofthingt for we believe that by tho universal con sent of all mankind, to wbiob the mem ory of man runneth not to the coutrarj no . unmarried lady ja ever moro tba thirty years of age, and therefore if sue a law were paased thero would bo no pei sons ?galn&t whom it could bo enforoet Oar State's Glorious Prospects, Baltimore lfanttfaeturert' Mccord. COLUMBIA, August 20.-Tho collo and eora crops at this time are the moi promising in many years. . The yield of cotton in South Oarolir In 1884 waa 626,000 bales. The an this year is 1,722,117 acres. The corni Hon of the crop ia better than at an period since 1870, with the possible e: caption of 1882. Well Informed cottc growers place the yield this year at 801 068bales or one bale to two aeres. If th estimate ls realised, it will bean increa of 385,100 bales over last year's ero worth at leaat 916.000,000. Tho South Carolina corn crop of 181 was 13,020,000 bushels.

Delia Jordan is the illegiti mate daughter of George Jordau, the father of the murdered child. She was taken from her mother to nurse Jessie, the legitimate eon of Georgo by bis legal wife. George Gibson was a chap on too place who sometimes helped Delia to nurse. Thc mother of Delia was anx ious to get her back and Delia was tired of nursing. Matthew Treacly, another illegitimate child of Delin'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 tbe approach of a white man. 6be was taken to the field and George Gibson loft with the baby, ile took down the gun and blared away, hittiog the baby at tbe naval ?ind killing il instantly. Theo George carried tho dead baby out into the grass aud went lo work to wash the bloodstains away. Trial JuBtico Calhoun sent the children to jail to await their trial. He could do nothing else under the law.-Abbeville Medium. - Few persons are aware of the ex tensive natuteof the victualing on board thc groat ocean steamers. Each vessel is provisioned as follows for tho passen gers and crew : 3,500 pounds of butter, 3,000 hams, 1,600 pounds of biscuits, exclusive of those supplied for the crew ; 8,000 pounds of grapes, almond?, flea and other desert fruits ; 1,600 pounds of jams u.id Jollies ; tinned meats, 0,000 pounds ; c'.ried beans, 3,000 pounds: rice, 3,000 nounds ; onions, 5,000 pounds ; potatoes, 40 tons ; flour, 300 barrels ; eggs, 1,200 ilozeu. Fresh vegetables, doa'1 meat, and Uve bullocks, sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, liucks, fowls, Hsu aud casual game are generally supplied at London, so that it ls difficult to estimate them. Probably two dozen bullocks and sixty sheep would ba a fair average for the whole voyage and the rest may be inferred in proportion. During theSummor months, 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 noon as possible they should revolu tionize their cookery and diet. It In re ported that the horrible disease, lapalla gra, that for tbe last century baa deci mated the field laborers of Lombardy at the rato of oighty out of a thousand has now begun to ravage Southern France.

It will some day striko the Hame class in this country. Fermera Bhould bo tho best fed class of our people. In addition to vegetables and cereals they require a plenty of the best beef and mutton. - Some one bas said that "when we como to die we will find that all we have is what we have given away." This Btrauge declaration seems to be warrant ed by what our Saviour said to a certain young man : "If thou wilt be perfect, go, soil what thou hast, and give to tho Koor, and thou shalt bave treasure in eaven." The declaration filled the young man's mind with grief and he went away, "for he was one that had great possessions." God h nd bestowed upon him tho means of doing a great deal of good, but be was unwilling to use the possessions which God had given bim for the purpose for which they were given. - Ooo of the members of the board of directors of the Columbia Theological Semi nary passing through the city lo day, ?ave me tho following information : 'ho board mot in Augusta yesterday aud elected the Kev.

J Tr 153 f*? A JARS - AT - Nothing but the Truth. Mit. KIUTOI! : We aro 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 tuan to view the wide-spreading fields of corn and cotton which deck this sunny land of ours from its four corners. Prosperity stares us in tho face The rains continuo to come corn nod cotton to grow. Everybody is happy, and verily wc have many things to bo thankful for; yet there ls ono thing none of us seem to appreciate as we ought, and lt Is that in order to be prosperous in this world a mun must be ns careful in caving as he is itt making. For Instance, thc Fruit Crop is short, and yet there will bo enough wasted in this County this sea son to feed a regiment of hungry soldiers s?T months. If our people would go to the little expense, nod ?ess trouble, of securing a pnekoge of this Fruit Preserver from Jiiu. Baos., they could keep all the fruit and vegetables they didn't ncod this Sum mer for next Winter, thereby saving groat 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 ure using it, and recommending it to their friends, this season. We wish to see everybody prosperous, happy and comfortable, and would sug gest that, in order to bc so, they must ?oak closely after small matters. More anon. RUSTICOS. A ?gust 20. 188? _0_ MBS. C.
