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.

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

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

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.

MORE TRUTH
THAN
THAN POETRY.
PRAY give us your attention while we sing
you a song,
With more truth than poetry it will not
keep you long;
A song to help your pocket, if you follow
but its teaching
It is not hard to follow, as is as true as
preaching.
Our mission, in this instance, is to say a
word to show
How you may save your pennies and cause
your wealth to grow ;
It will not make your comforts less nor
any less your pleasure,
But will enhance your happiness while
adding to your treasure.
If you want Drugs and Fancy Goods at
prices just as low
As they can possibly be sold I'll tell you
where to go?
To WILHITE & WILHITE'S City Drug
Store, No. 6 Granite Row Street,
The goods we will show you?prices, too,
will be to you a treat.
All the latest Medicines for all known hu
man ills;
Standard Drugs of every kind, Elixirs, Lo?
tions, Pills;
The richest Extracts, best Colognes, and
finest Toilet Soaps,
Dressing Coses of every grade, and cheap
beyond your hope.
Garden Seed, Onion Sets, Potatoes too, we
cannot undertake
To tell you of the thousand things that is
necessary our stock to make.
And now, having other matters of busi?
ness as important to write,
We reman your most obedient servants,
WILHITE & WILHITE.
