It covers fifteen acres of ground, it has wo hundred feet front, is four stories igh, with .two wings one hundred and ty feet long. When the war closed in , Durham had never been heard of, jMBuLthere was one little factory on the - spot owned by John Green, who furnished c Vaweet consolation" to many a boy in &jp^yi during the struggle.

He was a~ wearer" bf th'*f soured -gray and loves tho lo3t cause, and never lets an opportunity pass without remembering the orphans of our soldiers. He: is a.Christian gentleman, and his great work of charity is untold. He is forty oWyearVbf age and has done more to build up Durham than any man in it, He has a magnificent residence here, with al 1 the modern appointments of convenience aad beauty. The name of his house is 'Vaverly Honour. The factory consumes annually over 8,000,000 ? pounds of fine leaf tobacco, and keep on a;md 800,000 pounds. There are twelve copartments, and over each presides a competent manager. They ose month)} $5,000 worth of revenue stamps, 100,000 cloth bags are used daily, in which simply tobacco is packed, 32,000 yards of cotton cloth is consumed monthly in making these bags, twenty I packing machines are used constantly in i this packing They cut ?5,000 pounds of granulated tobaccodaily. They have paid to the Unitedl'|8tetes |8,000^000 for stamps. They are manufacturing the golden belt cigarette, a very recent brand, and are pushed to fill their orders for the same, owing to the high grade of them. _ At this time, a man in their employ, is making a trip round the world, having left San Francisco, California, in May. to take orders ihi- their renowned brands, and to place in ibe most conspicuous spots along his rotate the Durham bull as an advertiser^.; A.

The home is almost completed, and when it is the ^Presidential. family will take up its quarters there for awhile.. . Extensive preparations have been made by the. Masons of the District for the entertainment of the members of the Triennial Convocation of the General Grand Chapter, to be held here Sept. 28, 29, SO.acid Oct. 1. A parade will be held on Tuesday, in which the General Grand Chapter will be escorted by the Grand Chapter :.nd all the Commanderies of Knights Templar of the District, to the Temple, vhere the General Grand body will sit in i olema convocation to dispose of its important, business. The next evening a banquet will be tendered at the Masonic Temple. The following day, Sept. 30, there will be an excursion down tbe. Potomac and a visit to the tomb of Washington and Mt. Vernon, where a collation will be served on the lawn in front of the old Mansion. For the fourth day, Oct. 1, carriages have been provided, so as to afford the visitors an opportunity to see the magnificent residen* ji, parks and statuary of tbe city. The drive will extend through the beautiful grounds of the Soldier's home, just oulside the city limits, and on the way back a stop will be made at the Scheutzsn Park to partake of a collation. A large Bum of money has been contrib? uted for the entertainment of the guests, and nottdng will be left undone to make their sojourn a memorable one. The roofing of the West wing of the State, War and Navy building is pro? gressing towards completion, and when it is finished the whole exterior will have been finished, except possibly the steps and esp/anades of the West front. In j point of massive proportions and archi? tectural beauty the building has few equals in the world. It stands directly West of the White House and occupies two whole squares. It was begun in 1871, and has cost $12,000,000. It was designed by Mr. A. B. Mullett, then supervising architect. of tbe Treasury, and. is constructed in tbe style of tbe Italian renaissance, the material being Maine' and Virginia granite. Over a sub-bassment and basement are four, stories, surmounted by a Mansard roof of artistic design. From North to South, including the projections, the building is 560 fee'; long. From East to West it is 343 feet. Greatest height, 128 feet. There are grand esplanades on the North pnd South sides, and entrance on all sides ia bad through lofty pavilion s^ reached by broad nights of stone f-teps. Huge blpcts of granite, each Over 20 tons weight,^ form theVplntfbrma to tlo entrances*. The f'greatest possible, caro ha* been taken in the construction, aud the-building is entirely fireproof. All the parts are in harmony, and the result is an almost perfect specimen of architec? ture. The ehterior of the building has been constructed in a very magnificent manner. There are wide staircases of granite with bronze balusters; long, spacious corridors, and innumerable apartments richly irescoed and adorned, Iand furnished with every convenience ' that could be suggested for tbe transact? ing of public business and personal com? fort. The War Department occupies tbe whole of the Northern and Western por? tions, the Navy Department the Eastern and the State Department the Southern. It will be several years before the build? ing is completed. H. Never More a Candidate. Cincinnati, September 21.?At 11 o'clock last night the Thurman, Club about one hundred strong, beaded by a band of music, marched to the Gibson House and tendered a serenade to the distinguished Ex-Senator, in whose honor the club w ~s named. Judge Thurman, in responding said: , My young Friendsi: When I was a boy at Bchool many years ago, One of the text-books I studied was a Latin one, "Cicero on Old Age,'! and I remember well, when J read that beautiful treatise in which the author sets forth in the most beautiful and impressive manner that consummation in old age which would in some degree be a compensation for; the trials., of youth, I wondered if that lot would ever be mine. Now, when I look down upon your heads and Bee your bright faces, and know who. you are and what you are, I feel something of regret that the old author never had a Ciceronian club to honor and console him in his old age, as you have mine. I thank you, first for the honor you have done an old man in taking his name for your club, and, second, for the kindness you have manifested toward me by your attendance to-night, and your beautiful serenade; My friends,' no one can say you are worshipping a rising sun. No, it is a setting sun, low down in the hori? zon, and fast disappearing forever. I shall never hold another office, nor shall I ever be a candidate for office; hence it will not be in my power to reward my friends or to punish my foes. You come without hope or .fear in that respect, merely to honor ah old fellow, who from boyhood has been a Democrat, and who until his dying day will be a Democrat, and who is pleased not; to be. forgotten while he still lives. It is my pride and boast that I have always been a strong and steadfast adherent of the principles of Democracy, and when my dying day comes, as soon it must, and my eyes are turned to behold the sun in the heavens for the last time, it will be the eyes of a Democrat that will look upon that orb. And when I am under the sod, and some one stumbles over my grave, there will he find the epitaph, "Here lies a man who was. an honest Democrat bis whole lifelong/' - | ' a ? . in Ignoramus, not a Prophet Washington, Septemter 24?Prof. McGee, of the geological survey, in an interview to day upon' Wiggin's alleged great earthquake in .the Southern States .next Wednesday, said: "I take no stock ia the prediction whatever. It is not at all a prediction of science. Earthquakes cannot be anticipated. To predict an earthquake on September 29 is not scien? tific, and nobody need be the least appre? hensive on account of the proclamation of 'Wiggins.': The" people of Charleston are as secure now as ever tbey were?a i great deal safer, 1 should Bay. because the earth there is more solidified, more set? tled and firm, by reason of the recent quake, and now there is so much less ?chance of another like catastrophe." ?. The scientists in Washington take no stock whatever in Wiggins's prophecy. They all agree in pronouncing him a crank, a person of no scientific attain? ments, without a knowledge of the first elementary, principles of physics, with? out credit among sensible men. "If he is entitled to any name besides that of crank," said an eminent scientist last night/"it is astrologer. His ways ?are the ways of the astrologers of the dark ages, but he has not wit or learning enough to be classified even as an astrol? oger. He is a person who, four .or five years ago, gained a good deal of notoriety by prophesying that wonderful and dis? astrous storms, cyclones, tidal waves and earthquakes would result from the im Sending conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter, [are and Venus, the leading planets. He has also challenged the attention of the public at several other times by making , other prophesies, all of which failed of fulfilment. I carefully read some of his former predictions, but found them a lot of rubbish. I don't think he descends to argument or a statement of reasons. If be did, I think the newspa? pers would let him alone. Tbey would see what nonsense the whole tbing is, and I don't think they would continue to bring Wiggins before tbe American pub? lic by publishing his idiocies." Cleveland's Lack of Sympathy. Washington, D. C, Sept. 25.?A local paper publishes a significant inter? view with William Falk, a merchant of Charleston; He is quoted as using this bitter language: One thing seems to have been pretty well demonstrated by the recent calamity, and that is that our President was not equal to the emergencies of the situation. It was reserved for Queen Victoria to set him the example which common human? ity should have dictated, and while our people did not particularly desire pecuni? ary aid, tbey thought tbe President of the United States might have telegraphed his sympathy for tbeir affliction. South Carolinians will not forget this slight in a hurry. I can tell you, and it would not surprise me to see a Cleveland dele? gation defeated at the primaries before the big convention takes place in 1888. Our people will pay off tbeir score in this manner. You may be sure Cleve? land will never get my vote for re-election. This sentiment is growing all over the South, and no excuses made at this late day will palliate or condone either the carelessness or forgetfu loess of the strick? en people of Charleston by one who should nave been the first to extend con? dolence. What the Charleston merchant says bo bluntly has been muttered by other Southern people. Tbe employes in the departments nave contributed several thousand dollars in sums ranging from 50 cents up. Large money gifts were not looked for from either the President or his advisers, but it was felt that they should have made known tbeir sympathy in some public way. All that tbe Gov? ernment of the United States has done for the stricken Southern cities was by tbe War Department, which did manage to loan sixty tents. At a lime when their need was greatest the announcement was made that-nothing more could be done. ? Tbe report that the Chinese Govern? ment is increasing its armament with great haste and has ordered 200,000 rifles from England is looked upon with no small degree of suspicion in Washington. It is interpreted to mean that the Chinese Government proposes to take advantage of the opportunity while the United States is upon the verge of a crisis with Mexico to force this Government, through the American interests in China, to pay the Chinese Government $140,000, as proposed in the last Congress, on account of the depredations inflicted upon Chi? nese in the Rock Springs massacre in Wyoming Territory. The Chinese in? demnity bill failed to pass the House, last session, after going through the Senate, The Chinese Government at one time made a peremptory demand of remuner? ation growing out of this tragedy, which by reason of the failure of the passage of the bill, was never granted. >. Small Industries. ? The Atlanta Constitution says: If a proposition were made to estab? lish a ono hundred ton iron furnace in Atlanta, a public meeting would be held to favor it, land would be offered for its location, and if necessary buildings would be torn down to make way for it. Such is the superstition on the subject of big industries. We showed on yesterday that the four trunk factories of Atlanta employed three limes as. many people and paid four times as much wages, as a one hun? dred ton iron furnace. We showed that they paid more profit. And that all this was done on one-sixth of the capital it would take to establish an iron furnace. Aud yet ?hat have we done for our trunk factories? They started in garrets or cellars, without any public help. In competition with northern factories they have fought for and conquered the terri? tory of the South Atlantic States. And now as we have shown, without recogni? tion or notice, or concession, they have come to be worth to the city three or four iron furnaces that, would cost a half million dollars. It is our small industries that give Atlanta her amazing vitality. It is these half-hidden little shops that make her by the incontestable figures of the last cen? sus the first manufacturing city of the State. Let us stand by our small indus? tries and they will make us a great and prosperous people. . ? A problem which is attracting to its study astromomers relates to the earth as a time-keeper. We measure time by dividing either the period, during which the earth revolves around the sun, or that in which it turns on its axis. By the first method we measure a year; by the second a day. The earth, according to some of the astronomers, is losintr time. Through two causes, the sun's attraction and the friction, so to speak, of the tides, the earth each year revolves more slowly on its axis. The speculative question which these astronomers are discussing is whether in the end the earth will stop its revolution upon its axis and will pre? sent always the same face to the sun. When that event occurs there will be perpetual day in one part of the earth and perpetual night iu another. But there is no cause for immediate alarm. The rate at which the earth is supposed to lose time only shortens the year by half a second in a century. There are more than 31,000,000 seconds in a year. Therefore, if the earth ever does cease to revolve on its axis, it will be more than 6,000,000,000 years before it will stop.? Cooper's Journal. ? The prohibition movement in Geor? gia, which began in spots in the form of a local option canvass, has assumed such proportions that the prohibition leaders now boldly proclaim their intention to make a fight for the control of the com? ing Legislature, with a view to the passage of a prohibitory amendment to the State Constitution. The battle is being made inside the Democratic party lines on the nomination of candidates to the House and Senate, pledged to constitutional prohibition. So far the "dry" candidates, as they are called, have scored a fair degree ot success. In Atlanta, where, it is claimed, a reaction against.prohibition has taken place, the "dry" candidate for iState Senator was successful by a small majority in a canvass made exclusively on the prohibition issue. In view of the fact that in 113 of the 137 Counties of Georgia prohibition under the local option law prevails, it looks as though the Prohibitionists could secure a prohib? itory amendment if they want it very badly. ? The Washington Critic had an in? terview with Hon. P. M\ B. Young, United States consul general at St. Pe? tersburg, who is home on a three months' leave of absence. Gen. Yo?og says the most active military preparations are in progress in Russia, and she could put 1,500,000 fully equipped men in the field in a month. He does not believe Bussia has any designs upon India, but she wants Constantinople, and intends to have it, her movements in- the direction of India being.only a menace of "bands off" to England. He thinks Nihilism has been stamped out, and says the Czar goes around in public a great deal more than the President of the United States. Americans are very popular in Bussia, and are always well treated. Natives, as well as foreigners, are obliged to have passports when travelling in Bussia, and when a passport is taken from a person he must at once cease bis journeyings. ? Mrs. Eva Ivester, who resides with her son, Anders Ivester, near Walhalla, is a remarkably well preserved lady for her age. She was bom in 1797, being now eighty nine years old, and during her long life has never used or felt the need ot spectacles. She can sew, thread a needle, spin fine yarn, &c, as rapidly as a miss in her teens. Her health and strength, physical-arid mental, are good, and endowed with the energies of a for? mer generation ; she is active in the or dinary duties of home. She says she owes her exceptional preservation to the absence of corsets, tight shoes, laces and other fashionable constitution destroying gimcracks iu. her early days. ? Dr. Andries estimates that the peril from lightning is now from three to five fold greater than it was fifty years ago, owing to the vastly increased? electrical intensity induced by the charging of the atmosphere with steam and smake at all centres of population. ?

This point we propose to argue, We get up sooner, sit up later, work harder, and have fewer holi? days than the Guano or Grocery man ; and if our Drugs don't coBt anything, we need our money to send to earthquake sufferers, buy a few clothes with, and pay the preach? er. So when you come with your Cotton, remember all this, and don't forget us. HILL BROS. Sept. 3G, 1886. TEXAS PONIES. IHAVE received a large drove of Tex? as Horses at ray Stables.

A. REED, Agr't, ANDERSON, S. C. Sept 23,1886 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 August 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 my labors ar* well known, not only to this people, but also to many others outside of this County and in different paifs of the State ; and it is, therefore, with u 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 tHe 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 busin ess 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, 3887, divided into two sessions. The first ends Jan. 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 he 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 end of each month, or a satisfactory arrangement made with regard to them. No student greatly in arrears will be 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 nronthly. 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 I my School will be cheerfully furnished. Don't hesitate to apply for it. Aug 12, 1S86 5_3m SPECIAL MASTER'S SALE. State of Sooth Cabouka, Anperson County.
