A well informed writer says of it: "The next census of the pop? ulation of the United States will be the itennial census. The first census was in 1790, and at this period the e population was less than four or but little more than half sent population of the empire lion. In 1810 it was about twice this number, and had more than ioubbd ia 1840, and* more than doubled in 1870. In 1880 it was more than millions, and the next census will irobably show a population of between ?r^t^fiveiand seventy millions. In about ^-thirty y^ars thereafter it will, at the past ^? rato of increase, be not far from "one hundred and forty millions. There are >;r children how living who, if the past rate ?

Separate and Distinct from any other Institution, Absolutely Necessary for the Elevation and Increased Education and Prosperity of the Farmers of the State. From the Neuiberry Olsener. Editoe Obseeyer: The history of the agitation of an Agricultural College in this State, is well known to all who have read the papers. It is also further known that the farmers of the State, in convention assembled, asked the Legisla? ture to establish such an institution and that tbat body, instead of doing this, passed the bill establishing the Univer? sity out of the South Carolina College, with a School of Agriculture and Me? chanics combined therewith; and in this way absorbed the money appropriated by the National Government for such schools. Now, is such a school connected with a literary institution what the farmers of the State desire? Will it bring about that elevation, increased education and prosperity among the farmers which it is I claimed an Agricultural College pure and simple would accomplish? And will it confer upon them that social and polit? ical standing in the State and Nation to which they are entitled? Setting aside for the present the great advantages to flow from a superior agricuK tural education to agriculturists and to the country at large?which point has been well and ably argued by others?-I will first attempt to show that the School of Agriculture connected with the South Carolina College will not?cannot from the very nature of things?accomplish for the farmers of the State what an Agri? cultural College pure and Bimple, man? aged and controlled by the farmers them? selves, would accomplish. It is a recognized fact and one well established by experience and observation among all thinking people, both in Church and State, that institutions of learning for the training of the young are absolutely necessary to give tone, respectability and influence to the cause of. causes tbat bring them into existence. Hence in this and other States, where each, religious denomination works to advance its various interests and growth and thereby accomplish greater good to the world, we find literary institutions and. theological seminaries; in many instances liberally endowed. At this day and in this progressive age no denomina? tion wise in its own generation, with a zeal and love for its peculiar doctrines, and with a. strong desire to do good, would even think of carrying on its holy I work without such institutions; and any denomination attempting such a thing would soon be absorbed by the others. The alumni, students and ex-Btudents of these institutions are generally their best friends and strongest advocates; and those who were students- together or educated at the same institution are generally strong and sympathizing friends, one for another. And these are they as they go forth into the world who j give tone, respectability and influence to their alma maler and to the cause she represents. The impressions made on the minds of the young at these institu? tions are generally lasting and cling to the man all through his' after life, gov? erning and controlling his actions in no small degree. If such be true of the kind of institu? tions noticed, is not the same thing true of State institutions, and in some respects intensely so ? An institution supported by the State from the very force of cir? cumstances becomes a political institu? tion, where there ia stamped on the minds of its students political opinions which cling to them in their after life. Such. institutions are recognized by the law-making power of the State. Its board of trustees aro elected by the Leg? islature from among the leading men of the State, and its faculty all feel that they are the servants of the State and are I amenable to it; consequently the political views, opinions and feelings of those who control ?uch an institution are stamped (.and impressed deep down into the hearts and lives of its students, and hold to them ever afterwards. When such go forth into the world, it is to use whatever influence they may have for furthering the interests of that institution and their fellow-students and those who may be in sympathy with them. For a long peri od of years South Caro? lina has been governed by a political element within, the Democratic party, and the facts just noted reveal to us the most prominent feature of the causes which have led to this state of affairs. This is so obvious that no man will have the hardihood to deny it; especially when he remembers tbat anterior to the war and before our denominational colleges had put in so much excellent work, it was next to an impossibility foi any man who was not a graduate of the South Carolina College or Citadel Acad? emy to be-elected to any high office. There might have been, and I suppose were, a few isolated exceptions. The general rule, however, was that the poli? ticians, statesmen and officeholders were educated at the State institutions and that the work or training done by those institutions gave shape to the politeal opinions and views of their students, and were disseminated by them throughout the State among the people. These facts are cited not with any intention to prejudice any one against those institutions?for they are doing a good work?but in order simply to prove in an indirect way the proposition laid down in the heading of this letter, and to show in as forcible manner as possible to the farmers of the State the great importance to them of having under their own control and management an institu? tion tbat will not only be the means of increasing the fertility of their soil and enabling them to make better crops and thereby more money, but that will give tone and respectability to their occupa? tion, return to the farms a larger per cent, of their sons, and confer upon them a power and influence in the State and Nation which they have never yet enjoyed. Any candid mind, not warped by prejudice, can see at once tbat the South Carolina Annex, or School of Agriculture, can never, under its present management, confer upon the farmers of the State anything like the benefits and influences mentioned. We might as well expect to gather "grapes of thorns or figs of thistles'' as to expect such fruits from such a source. All the surroundings forbid such expectations?citizens, teach? ers, trustees, visitors, associates; all in sympathy with the University under its present management. Agriculture is not made the principal or leading study; and that which is the less prominent will be made to yield to tbat which is the more prominent. The trustees, being opposed to an agricultural college pure and sim? ple, seem to think that if it is at all nec? essary to give boys an agricultural educa? tion this must be done at a literary institution where they are surrounded by influences that will take care of their politics. I vote to the board of trustees of the Sooth Carolina College great credit for I the wisdom displayed in the management of the affairs of that institution. They are certainly a very shrewd as well as a I very wise set of men. They are deter? mined that no man who is not in full j sympathy with their views shall ever, if they can help it, be elected as one of their number. They want no opposing views to their ideas and plans as to how such institution should be run, and as to the kind of truit it should bring forth. ThuB it is reasonable to suppose that they j use the greatest precaution to elect uo I man as a professor of tbat institution who is not in full sympathy with them. The journal of both houses of the Legis? lature will show a vote taken between some of the true, tried and faithful as candidates for a position on the board of j trustees and others who were mistrusted I as to their allegiance to the management I of the College. This occurred during the I session of 18S6, and it is known that. I some faithful work was done to keep out the two suspected fellows. This same determination on the part of the advo? cates of tho University was shown during I the session of 1887. According to the I Act changing the law in relation to the Board of Agriculture, one farmer or agriculturist from each judicial district, and two from the State at large, had to be elected as members of the said Board, j By virtue of their being farmers and t he I University being established with a I School of Agriculture connected there I with, these were also to be members of I the board of trustees of the University, j The Act did not say what kind of far I mere these were to be?it gave no description of them ; but evidently a cer I tain kmd was meant. It was not enough I tbat a man was a farmer, a true and tried I Democrat, and one possessing the neces j saiy general qualifications to fill the I position, but he must be something else; I he must be in full sympathy with the j University, to be run and managed in a j peculiar way; and be must not be a I friend and advocate of a separate agricul? tural college, or a "Ti'llmao man." Now, I do not mention these facts in j the way of condemning the trustees and j friends of the University?they, I suppose, j did what they conceived to be their duty, I and I give them credit for it. They 1 want a certain kind or University, man I aged in a certain way, in order to accom ! plish a certain kind of work and bring I about certain results ; and they of course, to accomplish all this, must have men 1 who will work with them. ] They are doing just as I want the far I mere to do when they get their agricultu I ral college, and just as I believe they are ] going to do; for after all this is about the j only plan by which all these certain j things can be effected. And I bring op I all these things to show the farmers tbat I unless-they are ready to go in and take possession, in part or in whole, of the University, there is no hope for them j from that institution, and to show the I importance of having an institution I under their own control and management 1 that will enable them to choose their own ] board of trustees and thereby their own I teachers, and to accomplish for them I selves and their children a certain kind j of work that can't or won't be done for j them by any other political element in j the State of South Carolina. Farmers ask the privilege as citizens j and taxpayers of the State of doing for j themselves what our fellow-citizens and j taxpayers are doing for themselves I through the South Carolina College? that's all. ] These citizens are actuated by certain I motives?we too are actuated by certain j motives. They may say that we are I selfish, and tbat this is all gammon and I demagogism. In the name of common I sense, of what are they guilty ? ? They I have been for a long time, and are still, enjoying a very large slice of the State's ] political loaf of bread: we are hungry j and want at least a small si ice'just to see I how it does taste. We see what a won I derfol influence an institution of this j kind has in controlling the affairs of the I State, and seeing this makes us the more I anxious to have one under our manage? ment. Then, in all sincerity, we say to the j people of this State : "Lei tu have peace" ?Let the two elements composing the Democratic Party feel'one for the other tbat each has its rights and privileges, I Let the South Carolina College and the Citadel Academy still retain the support and fostering care of the State, at least .to I an extent that will not place too heavy j burdens upon the taxpayers; and on the j same principle let there be established by the State an agricultural college for her farmers, who are among her best, most worthy and conservative citizens. The I friends of each are the friends of the I State and are entitled to her protection and care. I had intended in this letter to notice in a more direct manner some of the benefits flowing from an agricultural college, separate and distinct from any I other institution. But as these have been placed before the reader by showing that it is impossible for the school of ag? riculture in the University as it is now managed to confer upon the farmers of the State the benefits and blessing men? tioned in the proposition at the head of this letter; and atso by showing the wonderful influences put into operation by institutions of iearning, I will for the present postpone the treatment of this subject in the manner indicated, and will perhaps at some other time discuss this j point alongw ith some others, promeinnt among them the supposed cost of such an I institution and the hollow and inconsis I tent cry of economy connected therewith made by certain economists of the State. In conclusion, then, let me repeat that we are all of the same political family, j and that it is time that the building is I large enough and well enough furnished I for us all to keep house together; but in finding out, as is usually the case, tbat a few members flfcnt to do the entire {"bossing" of the bouee and give the easy? going and peace-loving members of the family the scraps tbat are thrown and the crumbs tbat fall from the table; that for the sake of peace and for the good of the whole family some of the members had better move out and put up another building in which to keep house, leaving to the others, our brothers, the grand old building of our fathers and their fathers I to manage as they eee proper. Then our mother loving us all and treating us all alike, we (the South Carolina College, the Citadel Academy and the Agricultu? ral College) will havo a clear field, and the mother of us all will be made the happier for the blessings and honor we shall shower down upon her devoted head. And in the race for positions of honor and trust?both in and out of the State?every interest will be represent? ed and protected and none will receive detriment. Respecutully, J. A. Sligh. A Belle Becomes a Bigamist. Gaffney City, S. C, April 17.?This town and the surrounding country have been greatly excited ever since the middle of February last over the marriage of Miss Florence Little, who was the belle of all the young ladies and was without a rival in the beauty of her fea? tures and the splendor of her magnificent form, which is fit for an artist's model. Miss Florence was a great flirt, and could not resist a little pastime in this way with any fit specimen of the sterner sex. Mr. Augustus Mintz was her devot? ed slave. The course of true love was smooth until Dr. D. 0. Atkinson, of Ches? ter, S. C, came upon the scene and took in the regular features and Junolike form of the unrivaled belle of Gaffney City. At once he laid his heart and band and the resultant fees of Esculapius at her feet, and forthwith they became engaged. This was in November last, and the hap? py event was postponed from time to time until the 1st of February last. Just before this day, a friend of Miss Little telegraphed Atkinson that Miss Little was very ill and confined to her bed, and that the marriage would have to be post? poned. The doctor became suspicious and came to this place, and when he got here be found bis affianced so well and hearty that she and her other charmer, to wit, Augus? tus Mintz, that they were out in tho country driving over hill and down dale behind a spanking team of prancing steeds. This was enough for Atkinson, He took the next train for Chester, con? sidering the engagement at an end. In a day or two he received a letter from Mias Little saying that he had treated her shamefully, and if he bad waited, until she returned from the ride that sho would have complied with her part of the agree? ment. Atkinson paid no attention to this letter, and very soon he received other letters from the immediate family of Miss Little saying that Miss Florence was greatly hurt at being jilted by the doctor, and to come and see her at once. Atkinson answered that he had not quite lost his self respect and would not see her. However, self respect or no self respect, he did go, and as soon a* bo came within personal contact of the siren he succumbed to her wiles and fascinations, and tbey became engaged again, and on the 12th of February last tbey were mar? ried and left on the train for Columbia and Charleston on the honeymoon trip. Of course the marriage of our belie created a great stir and was heralded for and wide?so far and so wide that Mr. Augustus Mintz heard it. Thereupon Mr. Mintz went out in the country and brought Rev. Mr. Carter to this place, and both made the statement that on the first day of February last, when Mintz and Miss Little were out riding, that they had been married by Rev. Mr. Carter, and that the marriage was to have been kept a profound secret for two years, un? til Mintz became of age. This startling fact was published in the newspapers, and while the doctor and bride were regaling themselves at break? fast at the Charleston hotel the news pa-, pers containing tho statement of Mintz was brought in. The bridegroom was quick in discovering that Mintz laid claim to bis wife. The paper was passed to Miss Little, and she bitterly denied that she had married Mintz, and said it was a jealous lie he had told on her be? cause she would not marry him. Atkinson believed this statement, and was further confirmed in it when Miss Little left him, saying that she could not consent to live longer with him until tbo story of Mintz had been provon to bo false. Dr. Atkinson then wont to work to find out the truth of tbo double mar? riage. He spent a good deal of money, and up to a week ago had not beta able to get any evidence to corroborate bis wife or to prove her denial to be untrue. He was settling down to the belief that Mintz and Carter were liars, when all at once Miss Little confessed to the doctor that she had really been married to Mintz on the day tbey were cut ridiug. Atkin? son has published a card giving the?" facts and "earnestly hopes tbat a gener? ous public and a kind providence will deal lightly with the poor, unfortunate lady," Mrs. Mintz, as she must now be known, has been guilty of bigamy, and it is not known whether she will be prosecuted or not. Why she married Atkinson is not explained. In this State no license is required and it may be she thought Mintz and Carter would keep silent and the former marriage would never be known. Mintz has brought suit to have the marriage annulled as to himself, and will put Atkinson on the stand to prove his case. So it appears that the double marriage, instead of providing one woman with two husbands, has probably depriv? ed Miss Florence Little of a husband and may subject her to a criminal prose? cution. There has been no event in the history of this thriving town that has so excited ell our people. Miss Little, or Mrs. Mintz, is now at her home and sees no one but the family. CHIMES AND CASUALTIES. Charleston, W. Va., April 18.? Jacob Halles, who lives in Calhoun coun ? ty, about forty miles from Charleston, had been to market with a drove of cattle, which he had disposed of and was return? ing home yesterday, but being overtaken by night, stopped at the house of a neighbor. Something weighed heavily on bis mind, and he decided to go on home, fearing something had gone wrong. A peddler who was stopping at the house, George Freeds, offered to accompany him, and they started together. They finally reached tbe house, and, seeing a light in the window, approached careful? ly and looked in. On the floor lay his wife and three children, all dead. Four strange men were in the rooms. The' peddler's presence of mind did not desert him, and drawing a revolver, he told his companion to make a noise at the back door and hold it shut while be stood guard at the front. This was done, and the men inside the room made a rush for the front door, and was shot by the plucky peddler as fast as they came out, three being killed, and the fourth ser? iously wounded. Fobeston, 8. C, April 19.?Two years since this community was shocked by the fearful death of the six men blown to atoms by the boiler explosion at Boyle & Hogan's mill, jast below here. Hardly less shocked was it when Tuesday night's train brought up the mangled remains of young Abbie Frieraon, injured at the same place. With the front of his fore? head torn out, brain exposed, eyes liter? ally gouged out, and nothing but a mass of mangled flesh for a nose, this boy?for he iB only 15?still lives. Such'vitality is remarkable, and besides he says he "won't die," though the surgeons say there is no earthly hope for him. Wiih grit like this nothing seems impossible. Columbia, S. C, April 18.?A dread? ful case of death from hydrophobia is reported from the St. Matthew's section of Orangeburg county. A young white man named Shoemaker, was bitten last December by a hou ad pup. The wound was on the back of the band, and appear? ed to be a very slight one. A few days ago Shoemaker began to feel pains run? ning up his arm, which soon stiffened that side of his neck, and then the other. From that time until his death he suffer? ed from violent convulsions. He foamed at the mouth and suffered terribly from thirst, but when Water would be banded him be went into convulsions.- During the intervals between his ravings be begged bis physicians to give him Btrych nine, to have him shot, to cut his throat or put an end to his sufferings in any way. It required four men to keep bira in? doors. Sanderville, Ga., April 19.?It baa just been made public that during last week three dfferent attempts, alike inef? fectual, were made by n servant eleven years of age to poia?n Mr3. T. E. Brown by administering the deadly articles wirb the medicine ?be was giving, Mrs. Brown being sick at the time. On being ques j tioued tho negro confessed to having given the poison and admitted it to have been done with criminal intent, but gave no reason for the heinous deed. Fort Wayne, Ind., April 20.?Miss Bertha Evard, a beautiful young lady who taught a country school a few miles from here, met a terrible death Wednes? day night. She had dismissed her school and was sitting by tho stove, when her .dress caught fire. She was instantly wrapped in flames, ran screaming to the nearest house and fell dead on the thres? hold. Birmingham, Aia., April 20.?A practical joke played on a negro named Tom Jackson, last night, had a serious ending. Jackson was afraid of ghosts, and on his way home from work at night was compelled to pasB through a lot where a man was buried some time ago. Last night two negro boys disguised themselves end hid near this grave to frighten Jackson. They succeeded bet? ter than they expected. When they rushed out Jackson fell to the ground in a faint, and when he revived ran home where be soon became delirious. A phy? sician was summoned, but tbe negro had become a raving maniac, and tbe two boys have been placed under arresst. Latjrens, April 23.?Information has reached here of the accidental shooting of Ed Chapman by Messer Babb, at Babbtown, in this county, on last Satur? day. Babb and Chapman were returning from the post office, tbe former carrying a rifle. Coming to a fence Chapman crossed first, and Babb, being behind in crossing, struck the hammer of his gun against the fence, causing its discbarge and shooting Chapman through the body. The wound is thought to be mortal. Mr. phapman is a well-to-do farmer about forty years old and is married. Mr. Babb was formerly Deputy Clerk of thp Court for this county under his brother, the late M. E. Babb. Tho sftO&tiBg ffB?? entirely accidental, and is much regretted here. Messrs. Babb and Chapman are brothers-in-law. Chicago, 111., April 21.?A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn., says that a series of battles have been fought in the last few days between the Jones and Green families in Hancock County, and several are reported wounded, two very seriously. Some two months ago Dick Green killed William JoneB. Green wa* on his way to church with his baby in his arms, when be was assaulted by Jones. He pulled bis pistol, shot Jones dead in his tracks, and went on to church. He was lodged in jail last week, but gave bond and was released. Sunday morning he was attacked in his field by some of the Jones family, the father and two brothers of the deceased. Tom Green was badly wounded; and yesterday the war was renewed, and it is reported that one of the Greens and one of the Jones were shot. Both sides are heaviiy armed, and it is impoBtrible to make arrests. ? MifB Hampton, daughter of General Wado Hampton, says harper's Bazar. has joined the raufcs of professional nurses in New York.
