The University has just closed /a most prosperous and promising session. Its attendance was greater than it has - been'at any time since its reorganization and bright prospects hang around its future. We have seldom attended a more : interesting occasion than commencements proved. The .Greenville Nods, speaking of. the action of the - Anderson County Demo? cratic Executive Committee on the ques? tion ofnomfnating candidatsa for Con grgas by .primary election, ssys: Artderson County Democratic Executivo Committee has adopted reso? lutions against the nomination of candi? dates-for Congress bjr primary elections. Why ?' Has our neighbor an aspirant. jbar* to trust himself beforethe j We can Imagine no "other" n. ' : - primary system is fair, and fn the condi?on of our politics, it is'. necessary. 'Save bat "one party and its nomina-, is an election.: Thp.election held ;the. law is a mere form. .The onght to .have an opportunity, tp. j I .express their choice of men and their opinions of measures. They can have neither with the present system. It is all a matter of log rolling and lack in which voters have practically no influence. We send men to Congress from every part of the State; with no. more question or idea of their positions en important questions thlm we have of the king of Dahomey's politics.' Of course they call themselves Democrats. Almost everybody " knows ' what a Democrat ought to be, but nobody in this world can tell what an alleged Democrat may be in these time*, for they are to be found on each side of and stracf dliog every important issue. ' The. people nave the right to demand primaries, and their Interests require thai they use.the right If any man is afraid to go before the people, define and defend his position, and trust'himself and his principles to the people he is not a fit man to represent any constituency. ?: .The News, is a little off in its under? standing of the situation here. The County Executive Committee passed res* olutions recommending that the Conven? tion instruct its delegates to the Congress? ional Convention to vote against the pri? mary plan of nominating Congressman, This resolution brings the matter plainly before the people of the County, and will give each Club an opportunity to deter-, mine the matter, so that when the.County ^Convention meets it will not take snap -judgment or be liable to any "manipula? tion. We always leave the questions of party, management to the people in. Anderson County, , and notify them; of the que?.ions to come up before our Con-. ventiojs meet, and hence the homily of, our.friend on the evils of.Conventions does not apply here. If the people of Anderson County want a primary "for .Congress they will vote for it, and if they dd not want one they will vote against it, and the News need give itself no concern about the matter, for our people are able to take care of themselves. We are in? debted to our contemporary for its inter? est in a primary in the Third District, but do not remember to have seen any :direct effort on its part to secure a pri? mary for the Fourth. District. The News has. its-habitation in.the Fourth District and not in the Third, so that pur contem- ' porary appears to us to be endeavoring to get the Third District to try an exper? iment which the Fourth can take here? after or not as the result may suggest We apprehend that the Third District will' scarcely make itself an experimen? tal station for thejik^^ of the Stete. particularly where its judg? ement is, we believe, against the feasibility of the scheme involved in the experi? ment. _ . Capt. F.. W.Dawaon, of the News and thurier, who was one of the Board of Visitors of .the Naval Academy at An? napolis, appointed by the President to attend the recent examinations there, and report upon them, writes thus of ^ matters.-which will prove of persoDal in? terest to many of our readers : South Carolina has six cadets at this incomparable Naval Academy, and with? out count)ug Tarbox, of Georgetown, ?who is at sea, having already served his , four years on: shore. The cadets at the Academy, when I left there a few days S;o, were Victor Bine . and N. A. cCnlly, of Anderson, of the First class; 6. W. Williams; of Yorkville, of the Second: class; M. B. Stokes, of ^Efampton, and J. B. Patton, of York viHe^of. the Third class, together with iE; B. Lowndes, ofCharleston. All of these young gentlemen came to see me, and Cadets Blue and McCullyj the sen? iors of rthe party, were invited to dine with the Board of Visitors. Cadet Blqe, it need hardly be said, ia a son of that Staunch and well-proved citizen of Ma? rion County, the Hon. James G. Blue; <jBnd:Mr.;McGally is the nephew .of .Gen. Humphries, of Anderson, who, by the way, was graduated In the same class and from the same college with Senator J. C. S.-Blackburn, of Kentucky, whs- was a member of the- Board of Visitors. All onr yoting Carolinians stand fairly, well in their classes, and there is~ho present doubt of their ability to go through the course successfully... There was a little bitch at the last moment, but it affected none of our boys In fact, and; I trust,' none in result. Cadets Blue and McCully were in the Second class before the recent graduation exercises, and, upon the examination of the papers in the mathematical branch, prepared by the class, it was Been by the examiners that in the case of some of the cadets?not- including oura?there had been a marvellous ana inexplicable increment of mathematical knowledge in the course of a few days. As one of the academic board put it, a problem which could not have been solved by the senior professors of mathematics,; with? out a. reasonable expectation of many erasures and some stumbles, was written out by some of the very dull cadets , as fluently and immaculately as if it had . been something less of a puzzle than the addition of two and two; or the parsing of a nursery rhyme. The academic board, therefore, came to the conclusion that there had. been some "gouging," as it is called, and this means a surreptitious obtaining of the examination papers. As the sad result, the whole of the Second class, now the First class, were ordered to be re exami nod in math em st? ies, and were trembling in thirfr shoe*, just'.at the time when cadet*are ixpeclell' to be mtrst happy, in the agonizing t,x pectatiou that .the academic c<?rpy, an'." noyed at having so much work to go over again, would give them a hardrr exami? nation than they had at first, and when they were leas prepared for it. Hut the superintendent of the Naval Academy. Capt. Ramsay, was positive that the problems would; not be -more difficult thai) formerly, and it rested with him to determine it. Of course, the whole clans were to be re examined, because it had not been practicable to find out who the actual offenders are. And ko, as usual, the innocent suffer with the guilty. Murder at a Pemlnm. : Abbeville, June 19.?The jury in the case of John C. Ferguson, after being out between four and five hours, rendered j a verdict of not guilty between 12 and 1 o'clock last night. The verdict is no sur {trlse to any one, a* it wai generally be ieved after the jury was empanelled that he would be acquitted. Only one ballot! was taken by the jury, and the case was settled as Boon as the verdict was an? nounced. Ferguson went to the home of his father-in-law, where his wife has lived since his imprisonment. It is rumored that the jury acquitted the defendant on I the ground of self-defence.?Dispatch to j the News and Courier. ?

Hot weather has settled on Washing, ton at last, and everybody is anxious to get away to new resorts, members of Con? gress included. Everything is life and bustle at the Capitol. The members are early at their desks and late to leave. They are e?rlybec*me the firat hour of every morning is devoted to private bills* and if constituents are to be pacified these bills must be attended to. Nearly the whole time from now till adjourn? ment will be taken up in consideration of appropriation bills. On Thursday there were more members to be found in their places than on any day before in the session. Word was passed around that a vote would be had on the. tariff bill, and every member was urged to be early at the polls and not to leave his place until he had cast his little ballot. There was more "button-holeing" done, and more little groups to be seen on the floor than at any other time for years. The day was hot and oppressive, but the members stuck to their desks like Spar* tans. Intense excitement prevailed du? ring the taking of the vote, and the response to every name called was listened to with ^breathless eagerness to catch the aye or nay. When the reBult of 140 ayes to 153 nays was officially announced, the Morrison, men gracefully submitted to the defeat with the statement that on Tuesday another effort would be made to have the bill considered. The opponents gave.notice that they would be on hand. -The vote is generally accepted as a finality, and as fixing the day of adjourn? ment about the. middle of July. Hard work and hasty legislation will now be indulged in to the close of the session. After the battle Sam Randall and big macinaw could be seen most of the time in the corridors talking with groups of constituents and admirers, and receiving congratulations. He felt that such a good day's work: had been done that he. was entitled to a holiday. The next bill in order was the Naval appropriation. During its consideration not twenty members were, at their deskR, although some fifty or more were loung-' ing on the Turkish sofas and listening to good stories in tho cloak rooms. The mem? bers had discussjid. the merits "of the bill jmtetch? oTthe chamber, and decided on the way they would vote when the time should come. They therefore did not propose to remain in the sweat box listening to speeches prepared for constituents, when they could step out into the halls, the committee roomu, or onto the porticos, and keep cool in the strong draughts sweeping through every part of the build? ing except the House Chamber. Outside of Congress the event of the week was the President's two receptions Tuesday and Friday evenings. On.Tues day the fashion and elite of the city was present. Mrs. Cleveland wore the train skirt of her bridal dress with a low bodice of ivory satin edged with folds of mull and filled with lace, while about her love? ly neck was the diamond necklace, the wedding gift off the President. She received with ar great deal of ease and grace, and bad a cordial and apt response to all the words of congratulation extend? ed, and made a pleasing impression upon all the guests. She was assisted by Mrs. Endicott, Mrs! Whitney and Mrs. Vilas. The Brazilian Prince wai present, and was accorded a-special reception during the evening, after which he mingled with the other guests. In his honor the Ma? rine Band rendered the Brazilian national hymn.' At the reception Friday evening more [ than 3,000 people were present. The rooms were as beautifully decorated as at the first reception, and Mrs. Cleveland no less charming and happy in her man? ner of receiving. The President looked supremely happy and bad none of that manner of seeming to be bored that was sometime noticeable before his marriage* and he had a ploasant word for all who Congratulated him on bis new life. Ever since the receptions Mrs. Cleveland has been the subject discussed in every house hold, and the compliments and praise bestowed upon her are universal. A series of receptions to the Presiden and hia bride have been Inaugurated by the ladles of the Cabinet officers' families. The first was on Thursday evening by Mrs. Endicott, wife of the Secretary of War. Mrs. Vilas and Mrs. Whitney wiil follow in due time. Mrs. Manning and the Secretary are still at the Hot Springs In Virginia, and the reception by them will.be deferred till fall. When it comes the turn of Secretary Lamar and Attor? ney General Garland it is supposed that a stag party will be given. That will wind up the round of pleasure till next Winter. . H. ? An Arkansas farmer writes that last year, when 'coons made havoc io his corn field, he went to the drug store to huy strychnine with which to kill them. By mistake the druggist gave him mor? phine, and the next morning he found his field full of sleeping 'coons. He ad? vises the use of morphine instead of strychnine. ? Last Sunday the son of Derry Don? aldson rode a mule, and the son of Tpm Jones rode an ox. While they were riding together the ox turned and gored the mule, opening its side, so that its en trals protruded. This was in sight of Donaldson's wife who was in a delicate condition. The result was so serious that she died next day.?Abbeville Press and Banner. ? ANNOUNCEMENTS. For the State Senate. E. B.

PEOPLES, Agent for the Celebrated HI WINKLE Gil, FEEDER tID CONDENSER, Manufactured at Atlanta, Georgia, and to which Pre? miums were awarded at the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, Charleston Industrial Expo? sition Feb. 2,1882, and at the South Carolina and Georgia State Fairs 1881. THE VAN WINKLE FEEDER AND CONDENSER can be attached to any other Gin, so parties having other make of Gins and wishing Feeders or Condensers can be supplied by sending in their order in time, and I will guarantee s?tisfsction All kinds of PULLEYS and SHAFTING and most IMPROVED CANE MILLS and EVAPORATORS furnished to order. Van Winkle King Cotton Press Has long been before the public, and is too well known to need any further description. Its chief points of merit are : It takes very little room, is easily handled, and takes so little pow? er ; can be used on all kinds of powers?horse, water or steam, Ginning and packing can all go on at the same time, without interfering with the Gin. A two-inch belt will pack a 500 lb. bale of cotton. It saves its cost the first season in labor. Read the following testimonial: Anderson,S.C.?Mr. John E. Peoples?Sir: The Steam Power Vau Winkle Cotton Press bought from yon last Fall has given entire satis? faction. I packed bales of cotton weighing 660 to 725 lbs. in five minutes with all ease, using a 4-inch belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not seem any more strain on the Press than with a 400 lb. bale. For durability, strength, lightness of power, small quantity of steam required, economy of space, I deem it the King of all Cotton Presses?especially so as the low price at which it can be bought for puts it within reach of every man running a steam Gin. In fact I would not be without it for twice its cost. I would advise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Power Cotton Presses, as you will.eavfl.its coBHnJabor in one year. M. A. C?BB. BOSS PRESS. I am Accent also-Jbr the "Boss Hand and Power Presses,"'which are strong, easily handled and easily erected. V ?0 STAR PRESS. I am Agent also for the Star Hand Press, which gives general satisfaction. Suitable for traveling Gins. THE HALL SELF-FEEDING COTTON GIN, Manufactured at Sing Sing, n. Y., has given satisfaction wherever used. The saws are made of the best imported steel. The saw shaft is the largest made. An ex? amination of other Gins will convince you it is the most substantially built Gin in use. It never breaks the roll, and therefore does away with the expense of the revolving head, as the secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking the roll 1b in the proper shape of the roll box. Every one should examine the improvements in the Hall Gin made this year, especially the improvement in the Feeder. Second-hand Machinery. I have a lot of second-hand GINS and PRESSES, which are almost as good as new, that I will sell for about one-half the price of a new one. S@F Come in and see me and get prices before buying. JOHN E. PEOPLES, June 24,1886 _ ^ 50 3m GRAND CLEARING SALE. In ORDER TO REDUCE OUR IMMENSE STOCK OF GOODS, and to make room for the third large shipment of Dry Good?, expected to arrive daily, we have determined to offer all our lines in this Department for the next thirty days AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES To cash-paying customers, and we wish to assure those who patronize us with their cash trade, that they are only charged one price for the Goods they buy from us. We mean this: That we do not charge one person more for the same article than we do another, and that we deal with everybody alike. In offering this reduction in prices we do not say that we are selling out at or below cost. On the contrary, we are engeged to sell Goods at a legitimately fair profit; and while we are satisfied with a small profit, can justly say that we are in a position to offer you better goods, prices and bargains than many other houses. We buy in large lots for cash, with our own money, therefore paying no interest on them, whereby we save six per cent on the goods, four per cent for buying in large lots, and ten per cent interest?a total saving of twenty (20) per cent. You can, no doubt, readily see now why we can afford to make a large reduction from former prices and still live. We much prefer selling twice as many Goods as we do now at much lower prices than to sell half as many at the old-time high prices. It is conceded by every Lady who has visited our Store that we keep for sale as pretty and well selected a stock of Goods as can be found anywhere, and our largely increased City and County trade has much encouraged us to try to please the public Ktill better in every particular. We expect to double our sales for the next two months over the sales for the currenponding time last year, and bee no reason why we should not do so, having more Goods, at lower prices, aud increased facilities than formerly.
