E. B. MURRAY, Edltor. THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1K*7 TBRMS: ONE VE*" ,,._?1.50. BIX MONTHS_- 75c. The State Board of Agriculture met on . Monday evening in Columbia, to decide upon the location of the Experimental Stations. Greenville and Spartan burg were the leading competitors in the up country, and Darlington in the low country. Anderson, Oconee and Pick ens made an offer of 150 acres of land, bat Greenville offered $15,000, five thou? sand of which have already been sub? scribed. Spartanbarg offered 200 acres of land and two thousand dollars in moneyt with other incidental inducements. Darlington offered $5,000 in money. Up to tbe hour of going to press we had cot been informed of the action of the Board, bat hope that all action on the matter has been postponed. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. ? The Newa and Courier is fond of giving lectures to people away from home, and does not even always wait to be sure that there is any justification for the exercise of its taste in this direction. In a recent article, headed "Thinning ont the Dan? gerons 01888," oar contemporary says: There is a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation in South Carolina unless there shall speedi? ly, be a cessation of the homicidal mania which seems to have taken possession of our people. . In Anderson County on Wednesday a constable shot a colored man through tbe vitals because he "stoutly resisted" arrest, . and-the colored marTwill probably die of bis injuria. In Edgefield County a colored man died on Thursday from the effects of a stab inflicted by a white lad not yet out of his teens. The Anderson negro cursed a lady, and .when the con? stable went to arrest him he made such resistance that, in order to "save himself," ' the constable bad to shoot bis "assailant." In the Edgefield case the negro refused to carry out some orders that had been given by his youthful employer, a fight ensued between him and his young mas? ter; who used his knife "in self defence" and with fatal effect. Of course the dead men were the aggressors?the dead men are always the aggressors. It must not be forgotten that in the Anderson affray the man who was shot was "a notoriously dangerouf; negro," and it is claimed that the Edgefield boy acted in self-defence. The men who are slain are always "notoriously dangerous." but until they are killed no one really knows how dangerous they were. The story is told of an old Confederate private wbo was detected by an officer in the act of killing a sb'eep. The private was equal to the occasion, aa Confederate privates "were equal to any.occasion. Upon being severely reprimanded for disobedience of orders, he put in the plea of self-defence, declaring with mach sincerity of express? ion that he did not intend to allow any? body *\i sheep to try to bite him. Such is the case in more than half of?the home icidea that occur in this State, in which the plea of self-defence is urged as excuse for shedding human blood?the boys and men who commit homicide do not i intend to allow anybody's sheep to bite them. It would be funny if it were not so serious. Now, it tarns ont that no such homi? cide has occurred in this County, and that oar contemporary has given Ander? son County a lecture on what might have been. The negro reported to have been killed died of pneumonia, we are informed, and no warrant of any kind bad been issued, or attempted to be served upon him. These facts spoil tbe News and Courier's moralizing in this instance, although we endorse every sen? timent conveyed by tbe lecture.on "what / might have been," erroneously termed by our contemporary, "Thinning cut the Dangerous Class." If our contemporary will pardon us, however, we would Bug . gest that its moralizing would have more influence if it would take its examples nearer home, instead of hunting up strangers aod distant acquaintances to make the text of its lectures. There has not been a more unprovoked homicide in the State, in pur opinion, than the shoot? ing of the colored Democrat, Stephen Riley, in the city of Charleston some time ago by a prominent gentleman of that city, and vet the News and Courier contained no syllable of condemnation for toe deed, nor any moral lectu re on the subject. It was an excellent oppor? tunity for. oar contemporary to have treated the public to a most touching and Highly moralizing homily on what it is. pleased to term, tbe "homicidal mania." If it neglects such opportuni? ties at home it ought, at least, to wait for real occurrences before lecturing people abroad. It is a.clear case of tbe mote in the brother's eye, obscuring the beam In its own eye.. - Mb. Editor: I wish to thank most heartily "D," in your last issue, for the letter'and comment thereon, by Judge O'Neal. It is the very thing to ring in the ears of oar people. Oh! that every newspaper not "toadying to the snoboc racy* of Europe,' would-take up these words of the sainted Judge a ad scatter them from the Canada line to the shores of the Mexican Gulf. "Purge your Con? gress. Every corrupt, licentious, rowdy, gambling, drinking man should be sent home; Then you may look for a reign of honesty and virtue.' Until that be done, how can you expect the blessing of God? Are drunken, corrupt legislators to minister for you at the altars of your country?" So disgusted was he at the conduct of some "legislators,'' that (hink ing of nothing worse, he said, it "would even disgrace a Southern grog shop." And yet, strangest of all strange things, there are men?some of them members of a Christian Church?who, by words and example, nphold the "grog shop." Bat it will go; mark that. W. A. H. ? An edition of the Bible in two vol? umes, the first book ever printed, was sold in London a short time ago for $18, 000. ?

While Mrs. Mary Cassidy, a wash? erwoman of Roxbury, Mass., was leaning over the curb of her well a pet billy goat Cime up behind and butted her into the well,- she was only badly shaken up and tbe goat was slaughtered. "? ?? Ex-Governor James L. Kemper, of Virginia, the' only surviving general officer of the brigades that participated in Pickett'8. charge at Gettysburg, was invited by. tbe committee of arrangements jor the reunion of Pickett's Division on the bat tie-field in July next to be the 'orator on that occasion, bat he writes that he is not well, and will have to de? cline the honor. He, however, sent an encouraging letter and a check to help pay tbe expenses of the rennion. Gen. Kemper is over sixty years old, and the almost mortal wound received at Gettys? burg still troubles him. A Cyclo no In Ohio. Cleveland, 0., April 15 ?A cyclone passed over Belmont county this after? noon, wrecking several farm houses and barns, and doing considerable damage lo churches mid busines.? blocks at St. Cfairsville. The county infirmary barn, costing $6,000, was completely destroyed. The total loss is $200,000. At Martin's ferry, the residence of J. H. Drennon, editor of the News, was so badly used up that not one brick was left on the other. L. W. Bailey's fine con? crete residence was also leveled to the ground, and Henry Holling's eight houses, barns and sheds were all destroy? ed. In the town proper, 75 to 100 houses were more or less damaged, and the loss will reach $165,000. Walnut grove, a fine park, has but a few of three hundred lofty trees standing. James Reilley's nouae and saloon were blown down and Mrs. Beilley was pulled unconscious from the ruins and may die. Here the storm struck the town at 4 p. el, without warning. Beside Mrs. Reil ley, the casualties reported are James Beilley, her husband, a saloon keeper, both legs broken; Mrs. Wilhelm, collar bone broken, Mark Davis, of Martin Fer? ry stove works, probably fatally injured; a*German laborer, whose name could not be learned, dangerously injured. When the atorm struck the Ohio river the water shot up in a perpendicular wall about twenty feet and then fell back in a frothy, seethiog foam and simultaneously a shower of fence-boards, shingles, posts and timber, with seme large sections of houses, fell in a sheet on the turbulent waters. The river for miles is strewn with wreckage. Fairview schoolhouse, one mile west, was totally wrecked, and M iss White, the schoolteacher, was badly hurt, and several lamilies were rendered homeless. LaFayette rink was engaged by the city authorities as a temporary shelter for the homeless, and a meeting of citizens is called for at 1 o'clock tomor? row afternoon to devise measures of relief. Every minute's news comes additional damage in the country, and it is safe to say that the aggregate loss will exceed a million dollars. Ad Unpleasant Evening. Raleigh, N. C, April 16.?This evening this city was thrown into a state of high excitement by the riot alarm being given. The cause of the alarm was a telephone message from the peni? tentiary asking the aid of the police and military. The Governor's Guards, under the command of Capt. Englehard, assembled at the armory and thence went to the penitentiary, a half mile west of the city, while the police and many citi? zens also hastened to the scene of trouble. Your correspondent went there and found the troops at tbe main entrance awaiting a further call from Col. Hicks, tbe warden of the penitentiary. On inquiry as to the cause of the trouble, it was ascertained to be as follows: Just before 7 o'clock, while the convicts were in the yard, a negro prisoner named Jim Lewis, from New Hanover County, drew a knife and made threats to kill anybody and everybody. The guards surrounded him and finally one of them struck him such a sharp blow that he dropped the knife. He was then seized and taken to tbe hospital. As soon as Lewhi was struck some of the other con? victs shouted that he was killed. Upon this ii; appears tbe convicts made signs as if preparing for a rush and the guards ran for their guns. It was not desired to kill the convicts, but to overawe them. The convicts gathered in the rear of tbe yard and blocked the corridors and shouted and yelled, but refused to enter the cells. . Thereupon a call for the police and troops was sent out. The negro Lewis, who started tbe trouble, is in for life for rape, and is a bad man. An official at tbe penitentiary said that he was no doubt the ring-leader in what was a plot for mutiny. The convicts are so well and kindly treated that they have become bold, and the people in the city were greatly alarmed. To add to the trouble tbe gas went out, and all together ic was decidedly an unpleasant evening. The troops and police were prompt and cool. At this hour everythiug is reported quiet._ Wade Hampton's Belief in Prayer. Tbe love and admiration in which be is held by the people of South Carolina are illustrated in an incident related by Gen. Hampton when he was recovering from his sickness. "I am certain," he said, "that my life was saved by the fervent prayers of the people of South Carolina. I was at the point of death and had lost all interest in life, when I received a letter from an old Methodist minister, a friend, telling me of the deep and devout petitions put up for my restoration to health by the Methodist Conference then in session at Newberry. The letter closed by begging me to exercise my will to live in response to the supplications of tbe people of the whole State, who were praying for me night and day in every household. When I beard tbe letter read I promised my sister that I would heed the kind, loving words of tbe man of God, and arouse my will to live. That night I fell into a deep sleep and dreamed most viv? idly that I was in a spacious room in which I was moved to all parts of the State, so that I met my assembled friends everywhere. I remember most distinctly of all old Beaufort, where I bad last been. I saw immense assemblages, and as I looked down upon them a grave person? age approached me and. touched me on the shoulder and said to me: 'These peo Ele are praying for you. Live I Live 1! live [11' I never realized anything like it before. It seemed a vision. I woke the next morning feeling the life-blood creeping through my veins, and I told my family that the crisis was passed and that I should get better."?if. L. White in the American Magazine. Prohibition In Texas. The prohibition question is rapidly assuming front rank among the political issues of Texas. The late Legislature passed an act submitting this question co a vote of the people in August. The anti-prohibitionist are organizing for battle. Chief among them are ex Lieu? tenant Governor Gibbs of Dallas, Hon. Walter Gresbam of Galveston, and poli? ticians of lesser note, who have constitut ed themselves a committee representing the Democracy of Texas, and are inviting prominent Democrats to attend a meeting on the 30th for the purpose of calling a convention in May "to set forth clearly and universally the time honored princi? ples of the Democracy in its opposition to all forms of aumptnary legislation." The Galveston News, prints a letter from Senator John H. Reagan, replying to an invitation of the committee to attend the coming meeting. Senator Reagan's letter will produce a genuine sensation in the political world of Texas. He comes ont squarely in favor of prohi? bition, and de? Is the opposition some herculean blows from a Democratic stand? point. Two years ago Mr. Reagan stood beside Senator Coke, Governor Ireland, Congressman Mills and other prominent Democrats in strenuously opposing the growth of the prohibition idea, on the ground that it was a sacred principle of the Democracy to oppose sumptuary laws of whatever character. Reagan's com? plete change of views on this point sur? prises oven his nearest friends. After Sicturing at length the wretchedness and ishono.* to be encountered in every community resulting from the use of liquor, the Senator says: "I must ex? press my regret that any effort has been made to' make a party question of prohi? bition, and especially do I regret that Democrats sbonld seek to identify that great and grand historic party with the fortunes and fate of whisky shop drunk? ards and criminals.'' ? The Darlington News longs "for the day wh< n a white man will be hung iu South Carolina for committing a mur? der," and takes the broad ground that "the certainty of being overtaken by retributive justice is the only preventive of crime ." We do not desire the death of any one, but it must be confessed that there has been, and still is, a fearful inequality in the measurement of justice in this State. I The Blnckvrood Carp. Augusta, Ga., April 15.?Atloruey General J. H. Earle, of South Carolina, waa in Augusta all day Wednesday on business connected with the alleged kid? napping of Conger Blackwood from South Carolina, by Police Officers Stone and John McNally, one of the parlies upon whom he had passed the forged check. Yesterday morning he went to Atlanta to see Governor Gordon in regard to the matter, but what transpired between tbe two officials has not been made known. It is supposed, however, that the object of tbe visit to Atlanta was to demand of tbe State of Georgia a satisfactory arrangement about the kid? napping of Blackwood from South Caro? lina. From what can be learned here of the affair it is evident tbe authorities of South Carolina are taking steps to preserve the liberties of her citizens and vindicate her laws. The case is exciting considerable interest here, and it is quite probable that it will develop into a liti? gation which will settle the rights of citizens of tbe State of South Carolina, also settle tbe right of the respective States in such cases. In other words, Carolina will attempt to have Blackwood returned on account of the illegality of his warrant, and then if the Georgia authorities want him for trial, his arrest will have to be made through the regular channel of law. It is a novel case, in this that tbe courts have uniformly ruled that a party may be tried, although improperly brought into a State where the crime was committed, unless the State from which the party was brought demands redress for the grievance. It will, therefore, be seen that the case is not personal so far as Blackwood is con? cerned, but must assume a form in which South Carolina must become a party to proceedings. As was predicted in this correspon? dence, a few days ago, the grand jury of Aiken county have taken steps in regard to the manner in which Blackwood was arrested, and brought to Augusta by Stone and McNally, and to-day found a true bill against each of them. Bench warrants have been issued for both. Your correspondent saw Stone at the police headquarters to-night. He says the Carolina authorities will be unable to get him in less than six months, as the case is now pending against him in , Warren county superior court, he being charged with assault with intent to murder. Therefore, if the case is brought up at this term of court, McNally only can be tried. Stoncseems to have no fears of being punished, as he says he can positively prove that Black wood consented to accompany him to Augusta.?Augusta Correspondence News and Courier, Fradulent Bonds. Richmond, Va., April 16.?Quite a sensation was created here to day in financial circles and among State officials by tbe discovery that an unknown quan? tity of spurious Virginia bonds, known as Riddleberger bonds, were for sale in northern markets during the past two days. Telegrams were received here by the banking aod brokerage firms from Boston and New York, asking for tbe prices of Virginia three's of 1882, due 1932; interest January and July. The numbers of the bonds being asked for, it Was found that there were no coupons outstanding of tbe bonds named, which gave rise to the suspicion that something was wrong. A Boston firm then shipped $14,000 of Virginia three's as described. These were received here this morning and taken to the State officer? for inves? tigation. They were at once pronounced fraudulent bonds, with. forged names attached. A New York firm offered a similar amount to that of the Boston firm, and a $1,000 bond of the same description was received by another firm of brokers, making in all $29,000 bonds with all the coupons attached. Tbe explanation arrivedat is that during the legislative session of 1882 the Kendall Bank Note company, of New .York, engraved Bonds for the entire issue of Riddleberger's, under authority of the act known as the Riddleberger act. These bonds were well executed and were accepted by the State, but were subsequently rejected and the contract for executing the bonds was given to the American Bank Note company, of New York. The Kendall company, however, shipped the bonds in three boxes. One of the other two they took and paid express charges on them. Tbe first box containing bonds of the denomination of $1,000 each from No. 1 to 432 were returned to New York. The Kendall company refused to take them back. It is now believed that this box of bonds was sold by the express company afterwards as an unclaimed package. It evidently fell into the hando of sharpers, ? who forged the name of Dr. Rively, treasurer, and I. A. Smith second auditor, and proceeded to dispose of them. It is not known what amount of the spurious bonds are on the market. Dr. Rively was treasurer, but I. A. Smith is a fiction. Spirits* Beer and Wine. Washington, April 14.?Twenty or more pages of the quarterly report of the chief of bureau of statistics (just out) are devoted to "the consumption of distilled and malt liquors and wines," and esti? mates made by recognized authorities are given upon various features of this sub? ject. In round numbers tbe consump? tion of distilled Bpirits, domestic and imported, in this country is shown to have increased from forty-three million gallons in 1840 to seventy-two millions in 1886 ; of wines, from four million eight hundred thousand gallons to twenty-two millions, and of malt liqours from twenty three to six hundred and forty-two millions. The consumption per capita during the same period decreased, as regards distilled spirits, from about two and a half gallons to about one and a quarter gallons; and increased, as regards wines, from twenty nine hundredths to thirty-eight hun? dreds gallons, and malt liquors from less than one and a half to more than eleven gallons. An elaborate statement made by F. N. Barrett, editor of the New York Grocer, by request of the chief of tbe bureau, is given, which sets forth, among other things, that tbe present aggregate expenditure in this country, per annum, for malt and spirituous liquors and beer at retail, is seven hundred million dollars. The driuking population is estimated to be (in 1886) 14,925,417, making an average expenditure per capita of $45.90. . ?

Farming in one section of Newberry county is being carried on under diffi? culties. On one farm two stout negro men can be seen drawing a plow, which is guided by a negro woman. These people have rented land, but have no working animal and are trying to raise a crop by the most primitive mode of cul? tivation. ? A couple of rascals are swindling the farmers of Greene county, Pennsyl? vania, in an ingenious manner. They read tbe local newspapers carefully, and when a farmer publishes an estray notice, No. I calls to look at the animal. The farmer shows the beast, and the fellow decides it is not his; then he returns to his partner and describes it minutely to him. No. 2 goes to the farmer and, after proving by a thorough description that he is the owner of the animal, Bays he cannot take it away, and offers to sell it at a bargain. The farmer buys it, and in a few days the rightful owner comes and claims the animal. SliUoh's Cum will immediately relieve Croup, Whooping Cough anil Bronchitis.
