Some "communities in South Carolina have been generous to Charleston in her - present circumBtancea, but their donations 0" havenot' come near up to the needs of thai unfortunate people. In a few min? utes sixty thousand people were rendered ; homeless, and ten million dollars worth of property was destroyed. Contributions :?. MaOunting to about$300,000 have been "forwarded to the sufferers, but this large charity becomes "a mere matter of tempo I rary alleviation when we remember that .itionly gives five dollars to each sufferer; or if we estimate that one-fourth of the ? people of Charleston need charity, then we only have twenty dollars each for the snJBBjrers. This sum will hardly pay for 3 the food which these people have to buy until they are able to go on in business, without leaving any thing to help them ;. r?tore~ their shattered homes. The " calamity in' Charleston has excelled any? thing which has ever visited this country ; initilprevious history. It is right, there ^ytore;, for; our people who have escaped ? mjury to help those upon whom' this - .calamity , has fallen, and we hope that those who have not already done soi will forward aa liberal donations as they can afford to relieve our unfortunate friends . by. the sea. - \'_ The Eepnblicau party hi starting out wjth a new issue which may prove a very ' strong issue before the country. A num? ber" of influential leaders of the party, including such men as Senators Blair and Windom, styling themselves anti-saloon Republicans, favor the adoption of a ; platform by the National Republican Party opposing the liquor traffic in the United States. At a meeting in Chicago on last Thursday, which was called to order by Senator Blair, resolutions de - Glaring war on the saloons and calling on . temperance men and women and all friends of humanity, of whatever name or party, to join them for the overthrow of these establishments. They also deman . ded that the Republican party, to which / .they belong and whose welfare they cher? ish, shall take a firm and decided stand as the friend of home and the enemy of V the saloon, in favor of this policy and '., these measure*. Many of the Democratic . papers of the country are disposed to ridicule this movement. We, however, i see no occasion for merriment over it. If the Republican party.had controlled the prohibition rote in the last election, Blziiie would to-day be President in? stead of Cieavelnd. The Republican ^ . -party 'was formed as the champions of a - moral ?hn?ment?the avolition of slavery ??aod in less than one decade from its :' Ofgaoizatio? it had elected the President or the United States. Its mission has /been fulfilled, and standing upon the : v aitoftj of a dead past, with its face turned :i-i-h*cjtteits achievements of twenty years ? offered to the people nothing ;inr ^ the hwt campaign but a memory. This .'? did not satisfy the people^an^^^ew form, was called to the goyernment. The leaders o- the Republican party, recog? nizing tiwir- mistake, now seek to give their party a;new mission, and to gather around i'. the moral sentiment of the Union. It is a movement which is not to be contemned. It has in it possibilities that may reach further than we imagine. Prohibition has tbe sympathy and well wishesof the Christians of this land ? and there ar'; thousands of tbem who will "vote as tbey pray" on this question. It will not tic to terra them fanatics. They are men who place their moral principles higher tbaa they put tbe mere questions of government which relate to finance and taxation. These are tbe men to whom thme leaders of the Republican party propose to appeal, and if the Dem? ocratic party shall be so foolish as to be? come the champions of tbe saloons, in our opinbnj another decade will drive them from power as the champions of a business that is destructive alike to the home life and to the manhood of our 'people. We do not believe that prohi? bition should enter'either into State or National politics. It is a great moral 'question v.vxt ought to be settled upon its own merits., without reference to men; but( in out ?p?r.ion it is a question which has to be settled, arid settled in the near future, and the political party which seeks to check the moral sentiment of the peopl: on this question, is simply assuring its own speedy ship-wreck. The question ought, by all means, to be re-, ferred, by?% system of county option, to the people for their own solution. If they wan; prohibition they should have it, and if they do not want it let them say so, ir.ifl take the responsibility of maintainb* the saloons. If this system of dealing with the liquor question is established, then the political parties will have to devote their attention to the material questions affecting government, and prohibition will play very little part in political elections. It will be settled by the people on its own merits, without reference to men; but if the Democratic party thou let be so foolish as tovattempt to champion "the cause of tbe saloons, then call it fanaticism or what you please, We believe the new departure of the Republicans will be a most formida? ble oppoei lon. It will rally the Chris tian sentit -jnt of the country against the saloons. THE PENDLETON STOCK SHOW. Pendleton's Day. Me. Er>:? toe : On the 21st of October Pendle ton will be in her glory.

After a life of various vicissitudes, ex? tending ovo.: a period of 18 years, the Alabama Claims Court has passed out of existence. The Geneva award was made in 1873, auc. was immediately paid by England, it gold coin, the amount, $15,600,000, being invested in U. S. bonds, Tbe interest on tbe bonds amounted to a little over 33,000^000, and this, togeth? er with tbe principal, has been paid to the multitude of claimants, tbe majority of whom were from the New England States. The aggregate of these claims, after their determination by tbe court, was nearly $27,000,000 and this necessi? tated the amount available to be distribu? ted pro rata. The rate was a trifle more than 35 2-1'J per cent. The distribution of tbe money was an enormous job, call? ing for an incalculable amount of figuring, and the Treasury officials are much relieved to - ave finished the herculean task. Tbe Interior Department established in 1885 the Lureau of Labor for tbe pur? pose of investigating tbe cause of tbe strikes, questions connected with convict labor, and similar topics. Tbe bureau has done good work during the past year, and its larga army of special agents are now actively employed in the field taking notes on tbe various economic questions assigned to them. Tbe bureau bas been put on sound footing by the generous appropriations of Con? gress, and in enabled to do its work well and promptly. Tbe reports of the agents will bu impartial, and both capital and labor will receive a just hearing before this tribunal of the Government. 1; Prof. Baird, of the Fish Commission, has been in Massachusetts since, the middle of July, supervising the experi? ments in progress for "preserving bait" for tbe use of fishermen. Very little headway Is made, bnt as to the ultimate success of the undertaking there u no doubt. The bait used is small fish called "squid," and as it is necessary to keep the preserved bait wilh a certain degree of freshness, which is exceedingly hard to do, tbe experiments progress slowly. The new silver certificates, authorized by Congress, will be issued by the govern? ment at an early date. Tbe plate for the one dollar note has been engraved, and is pronounced by all who have seen it the most beautiful piece of work executed at tbe Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The plates for the $2 and $10 certificates have not as yet been engraved. The representatives of foreign govern? ments are little known outside of Wash? ington. ? The Diplomatic Corps, however, is an important factor in official life here. There are twenty-fi ve foreign lega? tions, most of tbem occupying large and finely furnished mansions. Every im? portant country is represented, and with their attaches, and large retinue of ser? vants, the ministers enjoy a distinction entirely their own. The English minister lives in a noble mansion, built by his government on Connecticut avenue at a cost of $800,000. Tbe house has magnif? icent parlors, dining rooms, and a large ball-room, enabling the minister to dis? pense his hospitality lavishly during the ? Winter season. The French, German and Russian legations give fetes, and their mansions are the scenes of brilliant balls daring tbe Winter, all of tbe ministers being socially inclined. But tbe Chinese and Japanese legations in point of curi ty lead tbe long list. Tbe Chinese lega? tion occupies Stewart Castle, a fine man? sion facing on Dupont Circle, and in which there is ample room for the grand entertainments given by the minister during the Winter. It is furnished en? tirely in the Mongolian style, and its apartments are filled with rare and curiosi oub articles. Tbe Japanese minister has a large residence, furnished strictly in harmony with tbe style prevailing in his country, and within its walls are many quaint and beautiful articles. Many of the members of the Chinese and Japanese legations remain in the city during the Summer months, and often may be seen riding about tbe streets at very late hours on tbe botest nights in search of cool breezes, although in their loose and flow? ing robes they look as if they were ex? ceedingly cool and comfortable. H. Prohibition. Walhalla Courier. The effect of prohibition on tbe trade, activity and prosperity of a people is a question of interest to tbe citizens of every town. It is generally claimed by the "wet" party that it decreases trade and active enterprise. Tbe "dry" party as confidently assert the reverse, alleging that tbe suppression of the traffic in liquor, invariably and of.necessity, im ?roves a people morally, socially and nancially. We have always maintained the latter opinion upon tbe acknowledged principle that money saved is money made, and when saved from being spent for liquor, it will be spent for useful articles or be invested in tbe improve? ment of land, yielding general as well as local prosperity. If spent for liquor, it is not only lost to. the channels of actual trade, out is worse than burned up, it lessens the will and power to labor, lessens physical endurance, lessens moral strength, lessens tho capital to be used in profitable enterprise, and for all this pro? duces no good, but evil and evil only. Since prohibition went into effect in Atlanta, the liquor dealers, always noisy, have raised a great, hue and cry about the trade of the city being cut off, the value of property depreciating and the ruin of tbe city being now at band. We would feel sad indeed to think that tbe expulsion from a town or city of the most potent agent of Satan wonld depre? ciate the property of the people or ruin the people. We never believed it and are glad to give the result of a statistical examination and report of tbe trade of Atlanta before and since prohibition as positively disproving that prohibition has injured that city, and proving that trade has constantly increased since liquor was expelled from the city. On this subject tbe Atlanta Constitution, a rather "wet ward" paper, gives tbe following views, editorially, under tbe caption, "WeBtand by the figures:" "Has Atlanta gained or lost business since the prohibition election ?" This question has been discussed hear? tily for some weeks,, and the weight of opinion has been one way to-day and the other way to-morrow. Fortunately, exact statistics are at hand which settle the matter beyond dispute, and prove "That Atlanta has gained largely in business since prohibition went into effect I" There are eight railroads that carry Atlanta's freights. Every pound of goods we sell goes over one of these roads. If these roads show a diminution of outward freights from Atlanta, then our. business has diminished. If tbe volome of outgoing freights has in? creased, then our business has increased. Let ub see what the railroad books show. Tbe East Tennessee carried out of Atlanta, and billed from Atlanta, 7,191,000 pounds of freight in August, 1886, against 3,472,000 in August, 1S85. There was the same proportion of in? crease in June and July. So over the East Tennessee Road Atlanta doubled her business this summer over what she did lost summer, and tbe full increase promises to be even greater. But did the East Tennessee gain busi? ness at the expense of tbe other roads ? If so, the city's gain is lost. At the Central there was almost a blockade of outgoing trains; the officials reported a heavy gain iu business, and tbe books showed a gain of 70,000 pounds in the first three days of the month. The West Point Road reports that the business for the three summer months of 1886 is at least 80 per cent above the three sum? mer months of 1885. The Georgia Pacific reports that tbe increase has been so marked as to provoke comment from all tbe depot and railroad officials. The Western and Atlantic road makes up its books on July 1st and presents tbem to the lessees, but tbe officials state that the demand for extra depot accommodations and extra local freight trains has been marked, and is constantly increasing. The Richmond and Danville received from freights billed from Atlanta $5,691 in July, 1885, and $6,762 in 1886, an in? crease of 20 per cent, and tbe increase for August is even larger. The Georgia railroad books are kept in Augusta, but the increase of Atlanta tonnage tbe summer has been so marked that it has been a common topic about tbe depot. This testimony is positive and irrefu? table. In spite of freight discrimina? tions, tbe freightage billed from Atlanta (which means goods manufactured or sold in Atlanta) has increased on every road leading out of tbe city. This in? crease runs from 20 per cent, to 100 per cent The way-bills show that Atlanta freight is constantly reaching new terri? tory. Against these plain and emphatic figures, no amount of opinion or com filaint can prevail. Commercially, At anta is holding her own, and pushing ahead as rapidly as her best friend could desire. _ ? A white convict recently escaped from a gang working on the Georgia Midland Railroad. A bloodhound was put on his trail and afterward found manacled to a tree with tbe convict's shackles. Two new dogs were started after bim, and when they caught him he made friends with them, and traded them to a negro woman for his dinner. He bos not been caught yet. 1 Through to KuoxTlllc. Ninety-Six, S, C, Sept. 18.?A meet? ing of the stockholders of the Atlantic, Greenville and Western Railroad was held here to day. President Hammett presided. A largo number of the stock? holders were present from different sec? tions of the country. A resolution was offered and adopted empowering the president and board of directors to change the gauge of tbe road to a standard gauge, if it was practicable, and further empowering the president and board of directors to mortgage the road bed at the rate of $6,000 per mile, if the road was to be built on tho narrow guage plan, as first contemplated, and to mortgage it to an amount not exceeding $9,000 per mile, if the gauge was changed to the standard width. The meeting thereupon adjourned until the first Thursday, the 4th, of November next. Immediately after the adjournment of the stockholder's meeting, a meeting of the president and board of directors was held. I understand that a proposition has been submitted to the board for their consideration, by responsible parties, to purchase the road bed, they?the pur? chasers?assuming all liabilities, and taking the bonds and subscriptions to the roa'd and obligating themselves to have the road completed from here to Augusta in 90 days, and to complete the road from here to Knoxville, Tenn., in two years, if tbe property owners along the line will pay the taxes on tho bonds, or in ether words the railroad tax for two years. At the expiration of that time the purchasers agree to cancel the bonds of the different townships, and they further agree to retain the present officers of tbe road. I am not advised as to what the board has done. The proposition seems to be a liberal ono and meets the hearty approval of tbe stockholders, and especially the taxpayers. What we want is a railroad, and that quick,, so that we can get our freight at living rates and open up aud develop this rich agricultu? ral country.?Special to the Augusta Cfironicle. ? Gen. Thomas J. Brady, of Star Route fame, now at his Virginia farm down the Potomac River, is engaged in writing a book exposing the election frauds in Louisiana and Florida in 1876. He says he knows as much about the frauds as any other person and thinks he can write a truthful history of the historic steal. He was one of the "visiting states? men" and spent some three months in Florida during the controversy. In a somewhat extended interview printed in an evening paper of Washington the general is quoted as Baying: "I propose to place several alleged statesmen and others on the public pillory in order that their fellow-citizens may see them in their true light. Some people posing before the public as moral saints, with a holier-than-thou cast of countenance, I shall impale upon the points of their own corruption. I shall embellish my book with fac-simile autograph letters and memoranda which will speak for them? selves. In short, it will give the true inside history of the Florida election returns in 1876 and of tbe Star-route investigation and trials, with all the col? lateral incidents, Congressional and oth? erwise, connected therewith. I have shielded a lot of hypocrites and moral cowards long enough, and there is nothing left for me to do but to publish the true inside history of these events. They may say of me as was said of Rousseau's pri? vate memoirs: 'It is mighty interesting reading, but he was a fool to publish them.' I can't help what anybody may say. It is my time now to speak out, and : I shall do so fully and fearlessly." ? Tbe Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution gives the following as tbe result of the invest? ments of Maj. Campbell Wallace, of that city, in the Elyton Land Company of Birmingham, Ala. It reads like a fairy tale, but may be genuine : "Major Wal? lace has drawn over $100,000 in cash div? idends on his $6,000 investment. He has drawn $17,000, or three times his invest? ment, in dividends this year, with four months to hear from. Besides paying such dividends, the company has over $2,000,000 in cash assets, exclusive of its land, which has hardly been touched. Tho shares are now worth $4,000 each. Major Wallace received for his $6,000 cash $12,000 in stock, or 120 shares, worth now in open market $4,000 a share, or $480,000. He has distributed most of his stock among bis children, and Mrs. Mynatt has just received and refused an offer of $90,000 for her share. This reads like a fairy tale?an investment of $6,000 paying over $100,000 dividends in twelve years, and then being worth $480,000 in cash. The Elyton Company on a paid in capital of $100,000 has paid over $1,500, 000 in dividends, has $2,000,000 in assets, besides its land, and its stock is now worth $8,000,000. Tbisstock was hawked about Atlanta a few years ago at 18 cents on tbe dollar." ? The finding of a dead infant with a darning needle thrust through its heart near Milwaukee has led to the disclosure that a regular business of putting babes to death at so much per head has been carried on in that city. Mrs. Pauline Mittlesteadfc, proprietress of a private lying-in hospital fled a few weeks ago upon ascertaining that the authorities were after her. She was overhauled at Reed-City. The police say she has con? fessed tbe murder of the child and claims she was promised $300 by tbe mother for putting it out of the way. The authori? ties are investigating the deaths of nu? merous other infants born out of wedlock supposed to have been put to death by her. ? Jack Cates, colored, died on Dr. R. C. Carlisle's place on tbe 10th inst., aged about a hundred 'years. Jack used to say that he was a good sized boy when the soldiers returned from the Revolu? tionary war. That was 105 years ago, and if his statement is correct be must have been somewhere near 115. He was probably mistaken about that. He could not have been much, if any, under a hundred, for he left a grandson about sixty-five years old.?Nexoberry Observer, ? In the first year of the war, at ColumbuB, Miss., a cannon burst, pros? trating Gens. Polk and Cheatbam. Tbey recovered consciousness about the same time, and, while still half-dazed, and sitting on tbe ground, Cheatbam said to the warrior-bishop: "General, is not this hell?" The pious Polk, with smil? ing unction, replied : "It smells like it, General." ? The Seventh Day Adventists in Maine are getting ready for the termina? tion of all things terrestrial. Tbey quote from the Bible that "there shall be earth? quakes in divers places the last days," and from this deduce that the earth? quake in Charleston is an omen and a fulfilment of the prophecy. ? The inhumanity of some of the property owners of Charleston is shown in tbe efforts made to evict unfortunate tenants. Women aud children have been driven off of open ground upon which tbey sought refuge from the totter? ing walls. Such people should be given the fullest public censure. ? A telegram from Tolono, 111., reports great loss and suffering in that section from a protracted drought. "For three months the ground has not been wet two inches deep by rain. Unless there is a copious fall soon, there will be absolutely no water to be bad except from the few tubular wells about the country." ? Two men who are hiding out from the revenue officers during the recent earthquake were in their tent on the top of an exceediDg high mountain. They beard the roar two minutes before the Bhock came. They verily thought the end had come.?Pickens Sentinel. ? James Armstrong, of Loure, Canada, a well-to-do farmer, aged 83 years, fell in love with a maiden of 76 Summers, who rejected his suit. Thereupon he made his will, bequeathing her all his property, and then hanged himself. ? The new one dollar silver certificate with Martha Washington's portrait will be pretty enough, but wouldn't honest old George be mad if be knew that we were running his wife's check on a73-cent dollar? ? There are twenty-one murderers in the United States jail at Fort Smith, Ark., awaiting trial. ? One year ago the pastor of the Presbyterinn Church at Auuapolis, lud., the Rev. R. H. Williams, offered a prize to the scholar of the Sunday-school who would commit the largest number of ver? ses of Scripture to memory. It was won by Miss Jennie Hyde, who learned 1,500 verses. She died before the expiration of the year. Several days ago the pastor presented Mrs. Fannie Hyde, molner of the deceased, the prize won by her daugh? ter?a handsome volume of Whittier's poems. ? J. M. Means, of Liberty, Mo., has a forty-year-old clock that is a perfect ba? rometer. Just before a rain the bell, usually of a clear and distinct tone, tolls the hours in a tone so dull and muffled as to be hardly audible. It never makes a mistake. ? Mrs. Adeline Robinson of Appleton, Maine, is seventy-seven years old, but that did not prevent her going down into a well twenty feet deep, hanging to a rope and clambering down the rocks, and cleaning it out the other day. ? Congressman Jame3 D. Brady says that Mahone's power is forever gone in Virginia, and that his candidate for Con? gress in the Petersburg district, Gaines, will be overwhelmingly defeated. ? This has been the greatest tobacco year, in point of receipts, in the history of Lynchburg, Va. By the 1st of Octo? ber, when the fiscal year ends, the sale will have reached 38,000,000 pounds. ? The New York World's special newspaper train has made the fastest run on. record. It recently ran 148 miles in 136 minutes. ? Things are going on bo fast among the Japanese that there is a talk of their having an "Agricultural Party" in their long-looked-for National Assembly. ? A Canadian great grandfather re? cently was present at the christening of his one hundred and seventeenth descen? dant. ? If the different religious denomina? tions of the Union were to act in concert, the churches of Charleston would soon be rebuilt._ A Remarkable Escape. Mrs, Mary A.Dalley, of Tnnkhannock, Pa., was afflicted for six years with Asth? ma and Bronchitis, duringwhich time the best physicians could give no relief.

Willis Poimt, Texas Dec. 1, 1885. After suffering for more than three years with disease of the throat and lungs, I got so low last Spring I was entirely unable to do anything, and my cough was so bad I scarcely slept any at night. My Druggist, Mr. H. F. Goodnight, sent me a bottle of Dr. BOSANKO'S COUGH AND LUNG SYRUP. I found relief, and after using six $1.00 bottles I was entirely cured. J. M. WELDEN. Sold by Orr & Sloan. Hark Twain. The American press generally appears to have lost conceit of Mark Twain. One reason for this change of feeling may be that Mark has grown rich. It is an un? pardonable error for a humorist to be rich. He ought to live in a garret, like James Triplett, be the happy possessor of one threadbare coat, and shoes that let the water in. But even under these direful circumstances, 25 cents would purchase him a Pomeroy's Petroline Poroused Plaster, which would most effectually protect him from that most painful of all complaints, Rheumatism. They even cure Gout, Cold Feet, Sciatica, and all Neuralgic Affections. They are advertised everywhere. Wilhite & Wilhite agents for Anderson, S. C.

Respectfully, C. A. REED, Aff't, ANDERSON, S. C. Sept 23,1880_11_ ANDERSON MALE ACADEMY. W. J. LIGQN, Principal. THE property of the Anderson Educa? tional Association, known as the University, having been leased to other par? ties, I beg leave to inform my friends, and the public generally, that I will open a School for young men and boys in the City of Anderson on the 30th Angnst next. Having spent thirty-seven years of my life exclusively in the business of teaching ?twenty-eight in Anderson County and nine elsewhere?the fruits of ray labors are well known, not only to this people, but also to many others outside of this County and in different parts of the State ; and it is, therefore, with a confident expectation of a liberal support from my former patrons and others that I offer my services to the people of Anderson and surrounding coun? try. It is my purpose, by careful and unre? mitting attention, to teach thoroughly all the Classical, Mathematical and Scientific branches usually taught in High Schools and Academies, and at the same time equal care and attention will be given to those engaged in the elementary and less advan? ced studies, using for both classes of stu? dents the latest and most approved Text Books, and adopting such modern methods of instruction as have received the endorse? ment of the best educators of our time. Special attention will be given to the preparation of students for College, and to those who are unable, for lack of time or means, to take a Collegiate course, my ear? nest efforts will be given to aid them in acquiring a solid, well-grounded education which will fit them to discharge creditably and efficiently all the practical ousiness du? ties of life. I trust I will be excused if 1 refer with a pardonable pride, as a result of my life's work as an educator, to the large number of my former students, of both sexes, who have won the first prize at several rigid competitive examinations; and, also, to the long list of young men who have achieved success in the learned professions, and con? spicuous success in other honorable busi? ness avocations. It is not my intention to antagonize any other institution of learning in our City there is room for all; but by faithful, con? scientious work, I hope to merit and re? ceive a proportionate share of the public patronage.; The scholastic year extends from August 30th, 1886, to June 3rd, 1887, divided into two sessions. The first ends J an. 15th, 1887, and the second begins on the following Monday and ends June 3rd, 1887. There will be an intermission of one week at Christmas. Charges will be made by the session, and when a student enters school, he will be charged from the day of entrance to the end of the session in which he enters. No deduction will be made for loss of time, ex? cept in cases of long, protracted illness. Tuition fees must be paid promptly at the 2nd of each month, or a satisfactory arrangement made with regard to them. No studeut greatly in arrears will bo al? lowed to continue in the school. Teaching is the business by which I gain a liveli? hood, and it is as reasonable that I should require prompt payment for my work when it is done as any other laborer in any other work. The merchant can give long credit, but he always charges proportionately higher prices. The rates I offer are strictly cash?payable monthly. Tuition fees will be $12.00, $16.00 and ?20.00 per session, according to the studies pursued by the student. Contingent fee fifty cents per session, to cover incidentals. Arrangements have been made by which students can be boarded at reasonable"prices in the City. Students of my School, boarding at any place, will be responsible to me for their conduct. Further information with regard to my School will be cheerfully furnished. Don't hesitate to apply for it. Aug 12, 1880_5_3m SPECIAL MASTER'S SALE. State of South Carolina, Anderson County.
