? B? MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, SEPT. 3, 1885. TB RMS : ONE IKAi^.^._JH>. . SIX MONTHS.......75c. Two Dollars it not paid in advance. The storm in Charleston of which we made mention last week proved to be the mDSt disastrous which has ever visited that city, the losses reaching ov .* $1, - ?500,000, ari? several lives bei. g lost. ' - The rind reached a velocity of from sixty to one hundred miles per hour, blowing down bouses, wrecking roofs and rolling great waves over the lower portions of the city. The beautiful park of East Battery was badly damaged by the wind and by water. The wharves ' were torn to pieces and many of the pirblic buildings and churches were seriously damaged. The city pluckily refused help from outside, and went promptly to work repairing their dam i houses. Mechanics of all kinds are reaping a rich harvest from their labor, as wage&iare very greatly enhanced by the .demand for prompt work. Charles ton accepts the calamity cheerfully and is rapidly repairing the damage. ?i simply simple. The Anderson Journal makes this reply to the Intelligencer's interroga tory.as to where it stands upon the pro? hibition question, which is agitating An? derson County at the present time: As. to the Intelligencee's closing interrogatory, which is the burden of its Icomplaint, we would simply say that it is ,; not incumbent upon the Journal, as a t.. newspaper, to espouse one side on the ^- question of prohibition in Anderson ? County "any more than to pursue a like fecenrse on the same question as a State '" issue or na a national issue. Because the Intelligence!; has assumed to agitate a luestion, and to antagonize certain men ' jwith, is no more a reason why the nal should join in the agitation than tit should volunteer defense to the luals antagonized. The question >hibition is a peculiar? one, not com ible to any other that might be deem Dne of public policy. It has to deal human weakness as well as human ivity, and therefore a phase of prac ility comes in for consideration. It .j'enable our people to make up their .ids understanding^ and intelligently |;the subject before voting that the 1 ^xpm time to time publishes fads ag the working of the prohibi law, and it is no fault of ours if the :ef them "tend to show that the law fenot ' work well." The Journal is. ftely and perfectly willing to' leave F question for the people to settle. 'If | iejRd^JiaMaxor of license, it favors fcense and strTfctregulation; if they ?in favor of prohibition, its earnest is that the people who adopt it will jfrt it as citizens, as witnesses and and not permit the law to be fla ly ignored, as it was in the town of | an a few years ago, when the "no people a jandoned their cause one years trial. ie extract from the Journal above sd is a fair, impartial and just edito statement of the matter as it stands of the JournaFs position. It does attempt to ride into favor by zealous advocating what it might happen to Heve :the people want"; its record that it has never advocated first ' side , and then another of public ions, according as it might appear ie -popular or winning side, and it now lows its thorough independence by de lining to enter a contest that is not one )r newspapers to wage. Gratuitous al ion8 to fence-riding ill become a con led weather-cock and a notorious |obby-rider. : The ,position of the Jottrnal in this Icle is simply simple. It seeks to elu |idate its position in a series of proposi Tons which^re^aayatihed-and untenable. nth the implied assertion that ie Intelligencer has assumed to agi e the prohibition question, and has jonized certain.men therewith/when be facts are the people of the City and inty are entitled to the credit of the bject. The Intelligencer did not [?^ly^erformed a journal r' noticing the is&aejpade, and Id obr mite to its determma^ ie mannet that we believe best 3e. We have antagonized no or B&kS merii-. except in so far as /have taken a different view of the lave been antagonized by of the question. In no the Intelligencer made 1 issue upon prohibition with pa, unless .auch persons have 4n their articles. We oumal to join in the agi libltion question, but it joining in the agitation ind. we merely asked for public might know on the charac lich appear in the Journal ire and run ;t, but had kridiculous lounce its >n.

Of course as it is innocent of taking sides at all, it could not well be charged with tailing "first one side and then another." Its trouble begins about taking the first position, and as it hardly ever or never gets bo far along as the first Bide, of course it is not troubled about the other '?ide. We did not expect the Journal to take any side on the prohibition question if it could help it, and therefore we are gratified at being able so easily to locate our contemporary. As to the personal allusions to us in the JournaVs last sentence, we would only say that we do not object to being termed a "hobby-rider." The Intelli j,ge>xeu has a way of taking sides upon public questions, and urging them for* ward until the people determine them, one way or the other. If it affords those who do not know how to take sides any amusement, they are welcome to call our course "hobby-riding," and we would suggest to them that if this is "hobby* riding," it is much more independent and commendable than "fence-riding." As to the other implied charge in the sen* tence that the Intelligencer is a "weathercock," we Lave simply to say that it is false, and the Journal knew it to be false when it published it. We did not transcend the bounds of legitimate newspaper controversy in our article of inquiry as to the JournaCs positson, and we will not submit to epithets which are hot deserved without properly character? izing them. AGAINST FREE TUITION. Action of the Representatives of DenoinU national Colleges. A conference of the representatives of the denominations,1 colleges of this State who were selected by the trustees of those institutions was held at the residence of I Col. James A. Heyt, editor of the Bap? tist (kurier, in Greenville on last Thurs? day night. The following' gentlemen were present: For Erskine college, Prof. Hood and Eepresentatice R. R. Hemphill, editor of j the Abbeville Medium ; Wofford college, Dr. W. W. Duncan and Representative W. K. Blake ; Newberry college, Senator J. A. Sligh and Prof. C. W. .Welsh (deputy for Dr. G.W.Holland); Furman university, Col. J. A. Hoyt, editor of the Bapiiti Courier, and Maj. ?. B. Murray, of the Anderson Intelli? gencer. ? The conference was in session about three hours and discussed the State col? lege thoroughly. The sentiment of the members was finally given shape in the following which was drawn up and unan? imously adapted: "The members of this conference rep? resenting the several denominational colleges of South Carolina, hereby de? clare that we have no opposition to the existence and maintenance of the South Carolina University , and would favor any appropriate action of the board of trus? tees to make it a University of the high* est grade. "Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to the existing feature of free tuition which prevails in the South Caro? lina college, because we believe that it is wrong in principle and injurious in poli? cy to use the taxing power of the State to afford collegiate education without charge to those who are able to pay therefor, by which the college is brought into unfair competition with the other colleges of the State on a basis other than their rel? ative merits of excellence. "Resolved, That ire favor the chauge of the act regulating the tuition charges in the State university so that the mi mi mum charge for tuition thereiu shall be at least fifty dollars per annum." A committee was also appointed to pre? pare a presentation of the views of the conference, and con for with the Trustees of the South Carolina University, and the appropriate committees of the Senate and House of Representatives. Attempted Double Suicide in Walhalla. On Thursday, the 20th instant, at 9.30 p. m., Marion G. Westendorff, of Charles? ton, S. C, attempted to commit suicide at Biemann's Hotel. This modern Macbeth, hailing, from the" "City by the Sea," was drawn hither by the magic wand of love as well as our delightful mountain breez? es, so renowned for their life-giving and invigorating influences. "Ah mo! for aught that i could ever ?ead, Ceukt-?yer hear by tale or history, The course oftruolove never did run smooth-.'' And the words of Soakspeare are true, even in Walhalla, the synonym of para* dise, as was sadly experienced by this youug Charlestouian and his enatnoraia, a fair young damsel of our town. It seems that on the afternoon of Thursday last, for some reason to us unknown, this fair Beatrice choose cruelly to sever existing tender ties. Whereupon this ill-fated youth, despairingof ever becom? ing a Benedict, and feeling that his bur den was greater than he could bear, first sought temporary relief in the "flowing bowl," which however failed to calm the troubled waters of his sorrowing soul. While at supper his idiotic conduct, to? gether with certain remarks which be made, led Mr. Biemann to suspect that he was either demented or had imbibed too freely the contents of the foaming schooner at the hand of his former fellow citizen, John Apperius, who so deftly deals out his ice cold beer, the favorite beverage of the German. On following this would-be-suicide to bis room Mr. Biemann found him with razor in hand, threatening both by word and act to spill his own blood, which act the opportune interference of friends prevented. Being defeated in this he attempted to leap headlong from a window in the third story of the hotel to the rock pavement below, a distance of one hundred feet. This fearful tragedy was averted by a friend who grasped one foot after his leap through the window, and by the assist ance of several strong men this/tffo de se at heart was drawn in at the window and given a new lease of life and love, which it is hoped he will not attempt to end bo precipitately by rushing uncallled for into eternity. While this tragic occurrence was tak? ing place at the hotel we are informed that the lovely being whoso grief-beariBg frown had unconsciously driven her beloved bo near the verge of an endless perdition, was bitterly weeping over her own rash act, fearing that he would never return, and feeling that "life was not worth the living," threatened to seek ob? livion from her sorrow in death. "All's well that ends well," and .we are most happy to announce that at au early hour next morning these two grief-stricken hearts were happily reunited in a fond reconciliation, and we express the hope that their future path in life may be strewn with flowers, end that heaven's choicest blessings may attend tbem in all their ways.? Walhalla Courier. ? Cholera statistics for this year and for last year in Europe show what great strides the plague has been taking since the end of the cold season. The number of deaths in Itally and France last year .-as about 20,000. The number of deaths officially reported thus far this year from Spain alone was 72,347 up to Monday. It is well known that these figures do not tell the whole story. Moreover, there are to bo added the deaths this year in Southern France. At this date last year the plague bad found only 4,000 victims in Europe. .jhe trial"of Surratt, Cooley and Todd the three citizens of Williamston charged with counterfeiting, will be begun.tpmorrow^Mhe next day in the United; State have occu .ihree cases probably Grape Culture, From tht Ktottce Cotiri&. Will the cultivation of grapes and the making of wine pay in this country? We might say this is no longer a ques? tion, as the grape will grow and mature here as well as the orange does in Flori? da, and taking all things into corn-idem tion, will pay as well. Our neoph read of orange groves in Florida and the great profits made from such farm 3, and long to go there. Why? Because in? stead of utilizing what they have in this healthy climate, they imagine they see greater riches abroad. We here affirm that, with proper industry, men can realize more profiu enjoy better health, and accumulate greater wealth, ia this mountain country than in Florida. Here we can grow anything?corn, wheat, oats, rye, sorghum, cotton, ;,nd in fact everything of necessity to human life. Besides we can grow grapes as perfect as on the Rhine. We can make as good and pure wine or brandy %s can be had from the .old country. Here no blight sSems to affect the grape crop, as we have had a small vineyard since 1872, and during no year has it failed to yield a fair crop. Those who have since planted bear a like testimony, for what? ever fruits may have failed we have heard of no instance in which grapes have been a failure. Years ago, wlion a boy, we often heard well informed men sneak of the adaptation of the Eastern slopes of our, mountains to the gtowth .of grapes, and that the day would come when they would be planted and prove remunerative. We are beginnin r, to realize this now, and, if success contin? ues, grape culture will extend and be? come general. No better evidence,; .part from local experience, could be wonted of the great profit of this industry, than the ease and promptness with which France paid off the heavy levy cha rged by Germany against France at the close of the last Napoleonic war. But experi? ments here prove it a profitable industry and point to its extension. On the 17th instant we visited several vineyards near Walhalla and inquired about others, with the view of learning the extent of the industry and the profits. C W. WIECKING'S ViXEYAED. We first called upon Mr. C. W. Wrick? ing who owns the largest vineyard in the County and located in Walhalla. He received and treated us kindly and will? ingly gave us such information as we asked. He has nineteen acres in grapes, set four years ago, sixteen acres in the Concord and three acres in the lives seedling and Bodgers. From these vineB he shipped last year 19,000 pound 1 of grapes and made seven barrels of wine, forty-five gallons to the barrel. Last year he shipped by. express at 3}'< ints per pound, which greatly reduced' his profits. He has now on hand 5,000 baskets holding ten and twenty pounds each. He expects to gather and ship this year from 50,000 to 60,000 pounds, and has good hopes of realising five ce nts per pound net) of $2,500 to $8,000 on the shipments, besides the wine he will make. This he expects to realize fiom nineteen acres of poor ridge land. The cultivation is simple, the vines requiring three nlowicgs and three boeings euch year a-J a shovel of stable manure to each vine. Mr. Wiecking Bays the Con? cord is the hardiest grape for this clim ate and the best table grape. It is a large dark or black grape and grows in large bunches. The Ives seedling' is a good wine grape, requiring to make a gallon of wine about sixteen pounds of grapes. Up to the day we saw him he had shipped 4,000 pounds to New York and Charles? ton and expected to ship the next Thurs? day 5,000 pounds to New York by way of Charleston. He has in. all 11,500 vines on wires. The grapes are planted eight feet each way. Mr. Wiecking re- , moved from Charleston to Walhalla a few years ago. built a nice house and began the culture of grapes. He is a quiet, industrous citizen, and his pros? pects are large profits from his business. His domestic wine is of a superior quality and sells readily at $1 a gallon. G.^WANJfEE'S VTNEYAED. We next visited the vineyard of Mr. G. Wanner, about one mile from town. We found Mr. Wanner at home with several baskets of fine grapes in his piazza to which he kindly invited us to help ourselves. He has now 1? acres of bearing vines (797 vines) three and four years old and comprising fifty-eight varieties of grapes. He has 1 ,G00 young vines not bearing, but a number will bear next yrnr. He plants eight feet apart each way, plowing and hoeing three' times a year and manuring once a year with a compost made of lot manure and muck. He expects to set out this winter six acres more in grapes, all from his own cuttings. In starting, his first 600 vines cost $60, but they could now be bought for $20. Since his start he has rooted cuttings at no outlay of money. Mr. Wanner's vines are larger than thos<? of Mr. Wiecking, each vine having two and three posts arid bearing to about sir. feet high. We counted one vine which had on it seventy-eight large bunches and saw others, we believed had a hun ? dred bunches. Heertimated the_ bunch? es would average iu weight about"one-, half pound each. Last year Mr. Wan? ner made 592 gallons of wine besides, selling 1,400 pounds of grapes. As he is very liberal he gave away a great many. This year he counts on at least 1,000 gallons ol wine, besides the grapes he may sell and give away. He does not propose to ship grapes, but only sell as he can at home. As his wine sel<B readi? ly at $1 a gallon he will get at least $1, 000 off of H acres, and that, too, with as little labor in cultivation as corn, for once well set the vines are permanent. Of the different varieties of grapes Mr. Wanner says among the black the Ives seedling and the Northern Virginia are favorites; among the white, the Etta, Martha, Lady and Crotoo, are favorite, and of the red the Brighton, Delaware, Goethe, and Wilder are favorites. He considers the Northern Virginia and Ives seedling among the best wiue making grapes. He has certainly one of the most promising vineyards we ever saw. It takes about 025 vines to tbe acre. In addition to these parties Mr. Richie has 14 acres in vines, the oldest about here. He has good varieties, but we did not have time to look over his present crop. Mr. John Kaufmann has two acres of different varieties bearing and set out 1,000 more this Spring. He made 400 gallons of wine last year and will increase the amount this year. Mr. Bruno Oehmig has one acre which is bearing the first time this year. He expects to make from 150 to 200 gallons of wine. Mr. Theodore Wenzel has 2,500 vines set out this Spring. Mr. C. M. Nield has 3,500 set out this Spring. They generally bear a pretty good crop the third year. Mr. Wilson has one acre in two year old vines, and planted 2,000 vines this Spriug. Frauk Davis, colored, made last year from 20 vines about 40 gallons of wine, as we are informed. Mr. A. Gerber has 700 bearing vines near his house, and has planted out 1,500 more on his small farm in Walhalla. They arc not yet bearing. He expects to make 100 gallons or more of wine on his bearing vines. John Kummerer has about three acres in grapes, Concord, Champion, Rogers, Cottage, Clinton, Goethe, Northern Vir? ginia, &c. This is the first year they have borne and he expects to make 400 gallons of wine. Eichael and Henry Theidigman, brothers, have three or four acres in grapes of the same varieties as Kum? merer. This is the first year they have borne and they expect to make 300 gal? lons of wiue this year. George Berklein has two or three acres of the same varieties just beginning to bear. He expects to make 100 gal Ions of wine. Tho three last named are froin Ger many, about four years ago. They bought land near the foot of the moun? tains, about four miles above Walhalla, and began to plant grapes. All the va rieties appear to be doing well so far. Of courco there are a number of pri? vate families with small vineyards fur siveiy. We have said enough to shttw that grape culture can be a success here abd will pay; that in four years from 60 to 75 acres havo been put in grape?, and that the planting of grapes increases yearly. As the gWwers get a "start and can r?ot their own vine*3, the area in grap'es will increase faster. If reports to us be true, of which we have no doubt, this year, this new industry will bring into the County $10,000, and as the vines become more prolific as they grow older, in ten years grapes may bring from poor land an income Of $50,000 or more year? ly. The Bloody Shirt Ahoy ! Mansfield, O., Aug. 25.?Senator John Sherman opened the Republican campaign for Foraker in Ohio to-day by delivering at Mount Gilead> Morrow County, a typical "blbouy shirt" oration, in the course of which he said : "Strange to say by the defection of a comparatively few men in three Republi? can States, our old adversaries have been raised to power again in the national government. The rebels are on lop. borne of the very men who boastfully threatened to break up the Union, and with the oath of office in support of the constitution fresh upon their lips, con? spired . and confederated to overthrow it, waged war against it and were the cause of the loss of half a million of lives and thousands of millions of treasure, have been placed in high office in the very seats of power which they abandoned with scorn and defiance. Two members of the Confederate Congress and one man who sympathized with them are at the head of great departmets of the govern? ment. I saw the Union flag at half mast floating over the interior department in sign of honor and mourning for the death of Jacob Thompson, Whom we regarded as a defaulter and a conspirator. This country is noW represented abroad by men who within twenty-five years were in arms to overthrow it, and the govern? ing power in the executive branch of the government is in sympathy with the ideas of and selects the chief officers of the government from the men who were in war against it. This strange turn in events has but one example in history, and that was the restoration of Charles II after the brilliant but brief protecto? rate of Cromwell and, like that restora? tion, is a reproach to the civilization of the age. "But even this defection among Re? publicans would have been ineffective but for the solid South, held together in political fellowship by crimes, violence and fraud, which, if continued, will as surely renew all the strifes of the civil war as that the sun rolls around in its course. The Republican party is faced by a solid South, in which the negro is deprived, substantially, of all his politi? cal rights by open violence or by frauds as mean as any that have been committed by penitentiary convicts, and as openly and boldly done as any highway robbery. By this system and by the acquiescence of a few Northern States the men who led in the civil war have been restored to power, and hope practically to reverse all the results of the war. This is the spectre that now haunts American poli? tics, and may make it just as vital and necessary to appeal to the Northern States to unite again against this evil, not so open and arrogant as slavery, but more dangerous and equally unjust. The question then was the slavery of the black man. Now the question is the equality of the white man. "I have seen many signs of a disposi? tion to waive all the glorious results of the war, to make no difference between the blue and the gray, to revive again the doctrines of secession and State rights taught before the war. The tendency of the Democratic party is all that way. I do not question the patriotism of my Democratic neighbors here in Ohio, but we know by old experience they follow the leaders of their party. The govern? ing force of that party is with the South, as in the days of Buchanan. If they continue under their Democratic rulers the present system of ostracism and op? pression and injustice a party can be formed among them which will demand justice to all and thus break down the solid South, based as it is upon crime and fraud. If not, it is the duty of the peo? ple of the Northern States, without dis? tinction of party, to unite the North in the. execution or the constitutional amendments and, under the fourteenth amendment, to deny the States that do not protect their citizens in the elective franchise representation based upon the number so disfrar^hised. A Tnle of Tallula. Atlanta, Ga., August 27?William Forman, of New Orleans, came here to? day from Tallulah Falls for medical treatment. He tells r most wonderful story, all of which has >een substantia? ted. While climbing up the rocks at the side of the falls bis foot slipped and he fell, rolling down an incline of 400 Nfeet, and then fell over a precipice 376 feet. He fell into a soft marsh. For more than thirty hours he remained where he fell, unable to move and almost too weak to call for assistance. At one time be saw members of a rescuing parly within thirty yards of bim but was un? able to make himself beard. Fortunate? ly he fell near a small stream and man? aged to obtain water by dipping bis handkerchief into the water and sucking it. He also spread the handkerchief over his face to shut out the rays of the scorching sun. With his teeth he. tore off pieces of the alpaca coat which he wore and made a sort of pad for his head to rest upon. The distance he fell has been measured and all his statements have been fully proved. ? While Rev. Vashtine Herlong was preaching at Bethany Church, Edgefield County, on the 19th, a dog that had fol? lowed its owner took a fit in church. The congregation concluded at once the dog was mad ; and the death from hydro? phobia in the neighborhood a few days before only made them the more frantic. Women screamed, and men and women ? climbed on and over benches with an I agility that was astonishing. The ' preacher called out from the pulpit: "Won't somebody give me a pistol?" "Won't somebody give me a pistol?" But no pistol was produced?although it was in Edgefield County. A gentleman in the congregation had a pistol, but would not produce it, for fear some good brother might havo him up for carrying concealed weapons. Partial order was finally restored, and the preacher con? cluded his sermon tc a demoralized con? gregation." ?

I guaranteo one and all polite and careful attention. The justly celebrated New Home is still our favorite. It is simple, strong, swift and sure, doing the widest range of work, and equipped with all the latest im? proved Attachments. The Domestic is certainly a Star of no small magnitude, and is celebrated for its light and noiseless runniug. and its handsome appearance. The peerless White is KING, and is highly appreciated by all who use them, for lightness, simplicity and handsome finish. The Royal St. John ie certainly the ACCOMMODATING Machine of the day, as you can do beautiful and substan? tial work, by running either way, without getting out of adjustment or breaking stitches. These arc the LEADERS, but I also sell several other makes of Machines, and all at low figures and on reasonable terras. The Latest Novelty in way of a Sewing Machine Attachment is the P. Byrn e Spring Motor. The complete operation of a Sewing Machine with this Motor is so simple and easy that a child, or the most delicate lady can use it. Can be applied to any Sewing Machine, and Is loudly prais? ed by all who see its operation. Will run from 10 to 1,000 stitches per minute, at the will of the operator. I have exclusive sale of this Motor for the upper portion of South Carolina. Can be seen in operation at any time at cither of my Sewing Ma? chine Parlors. Needles, Oil and Attachments a specialty.

AT ? ORR & SLOAN'S. FRUIT JARS -at ORR & SLOAN'S. All Sorts of hurts and many sorts of ails of man and beast need a cooling lotion. Mustang Liniment: Nothing but the Truth. Me. Editor : We are 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 fields 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 be 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 o?r people would go to the little expense, and less trouble, of sectiring a package of this Fruit Preserver from Hill Bros., they could keep all the fruit and vegetables tbey didn't need 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 see everybody prosperous, happy and comfortable, and would sug? gest that, In order to be so, tbey must look closely after small matters, More anon. * ? .?_? RU8TICUS.
