Both ea; further '^ree that the best way to this surplus is to stop the flow of ' into the treasury by reducing on. But when it comes to how uction shall be made the differ t$etween the parties appear. The /tBepublicans under the lead of Reed, s^KelTy, Barrows and Brown favor taking ' off.tha ir.ternal revenue taxes on liquors ?;can# tobacco, and maintaining the existing 5|ti^^^u^Uiea^ while the .Democrats favor ^^ucj^-'the tariff duties and maintaining ^fernal revenue taxea on liquors and Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, in i favoring Mill's bill put the i very plainly when he said that the question was "whether we will > &e tax on whiskey or the tax on ||||igother words, reduce the tax without which men can live and or: on that which- is essential to and comfort," and he -that' the matter "narrows itself to.a contest between the drunkard's tee and the poor man's back." It is iprehenaiblo that the Republicans d take hie position of prefering whir&ey to cheap clothing. Mr. of Illinois, in an address before Convention which renominated Congress last week, said that the in Congress were in,favor of the tariff, and took ' the ^opposing the Mills bill on the that the tariff ought to be remod ita friends rather than by its .es.

'As this is a matter in which the people of the whole State are interested, aod on which mach conjecture and speculation has been indulged, and as we are so sit uated as to give the public exact figures and reliable data, with that view we have examined the return of the five ap praisers appointed by the Probate Judge, an exact summary of which is given below. The appraisers were men of intelligence and business qualification, and from their return they^seem to have labored to do their full duty. The result shows the amount to be larger than the estimated sum published in our last issue as given us by the executor. The following is a summary of the return aa stated under the heads: Fort Hill real.estate, 814 acres, 815,000 00 Personal property at-Port Hill, not to be sold. 297 25 Personal property to be sold...^.. ?563 95 Real estate in Maryland (Bla denburg).,. 10,000 00 Silver plate and table silver. 1,800 00 .89 oil paintings, 9 family por . traits, books and maps in house and library?No means of valuing............."...... Stocks and bonds, lace value, $49,370, but premium estima? ted and appraised. 52,328 00 Bonds secured by mortgages on real estate. 22,928 01 Cash on hand. 1,933 52 Notes on hand. 1,228 88 Total as appraised.....$106,179 61 Of the notes appraised as on hand only I two, one for $26, the other for $43, [ aggregating $69, were appraised doubtful or worthless. All the others, inclnding the bonds secured, by mortgage, are appraised good. These notes are put at I their face value, so the true amount of I the estate will be increased to the extent of interest accrued on them, which will doubtless amount to several thousand dollars. On a close examination of the appraise bill the eminent financiering ability of I Mr. Clemson is unparalleled. AH his stocks and bonds command par, many of them a premium, the appraised value of them being nearly $8,000 above their face value. Out of upwards of $24,000 of j personal bonds and notes $22,928 of them , are secured by mortgage of real estate, ! and of the remainder only $69 are valued as doubtful. Another fact appears on the face of the appraise bill: that the large bulk of them are dated in 1887 and 1888, showing he either renewed fre I quently or collected and loaned again. That an estate in personalty of $80,000, mostly in money and securities, should be so managed that only $69 are found worthless, is wonderful. The above are facts as they appear on record, wonderful facts in themselves, but more wonderful in the face of the letter of Mr. Lee, as to the value of the estate, as taken by us from the Charles ton News and Courier. Except as a citizen of the State we have no interest in the estate or its sum total, but knowing all our readers are interested in the amount and condition of this munificent bequest for their bene j fit, we publish the foregoing as true from the records by our examination. Whether, or not the will be contested, and whether if contested, it Btand or fall, it is idle to attempt to belittle the gift or .the purpose for which it was made. It was given for the benefit of the youth of the State,-and, if permitted, they will put it to the wise purpose intended. The names of the parties who acted as I appraisers on the Clemson estate are Messrs. J.. W. Holleman, R. T. Jaynes and H. F. Alexander, of Walhalla, and j Messrs. M. W. Coleman and J. W. Todd, j of Seneca City.?Keowee Courier. The Clemson Will. 2b the Editor of the News and Courier. As many of my friends think that I should reply t,'the two extraordinary articles from the pen of Mr. Gideon Lee, of New York, recently published in the News and Courier, I ask you to permit me to make the following statement: I have been reliably informed ^at Mr.. Gideon Lee intends to contest Mr. Clemson'e will, of which I am the execu? tor. The law makes it my duty,-as executor, to defend the will and to carry into effect the purposes of the testator as set forth therein. With this fact before me I have concluded that both prudence I and a proper regard for my duties and responsibilities as executor imperatively require me, no matter how great' the temptation to do otherwise, to refrain, from anything like a newspaper contro? versy over matters soon to be litigated. Mr. Gideon Lee, may. if he sees proper, continue to ventilate his sfde of the case through the public prints, but I think it will be wiser for me to' reserve my fire. until we meet in close range within the bar of the Courthouse, where the issue he is seeking to raise can and will be finally adjudicated. This face alone prevents me from answering now these I remarkable articles of Mr. Lee as they deserve. I will only say this in defence of Mr. Clemson. The purposes' as set forth in his will are exactly in accordance with his intentions formed and settled and expressed to numbers of respectable per? sons many years ago, which intention was in 1888 practically carried into effect in a. will written for him by Col. J. H. Bion, a copy of which will I now have in my possession. In this will written by Col. Rum he donates to South Carolina for the purpose of establishing an agricultural college his Fort Hill place and all the balance and residue of his Sroperty, except $10,000, to his grand anghter, Miss Floride Lee, and one other small legacy. This will I had never seen and knew nothing of its contents, except from rumor, until in October, 1886, when Mr. Clemson came to me as an attorney and requested me to draw another . will, and incorporate therein some alterations he desired to make in the details of the disposition of his property. The scheme for this dona? tion of his property in.the first will remains practically the same in this last will, except in the first will he gave his granddaughter only $10,000, while in the, Fast he gave her $15,000, his family pictures and all of his silver plate and table silver. R. W. Simpson. May 3,1888. Made Love in the Penitentiary. Atlanta, Ga , April 80.?A romantic marriage occurred at 4 o'clock this after? noon at the Woman's Christian Home, 49 West Peters street. The bride is Belle Rooney, a white woman who *as sent-to the penitentiary for murder, and the groom is Dock Davis, a white man who was sent to prison from Bibb County for three years for manslaughter. It appears that the two met in the peniten? tiary and loved each other. Several months ago, through the efforts of Mrs. Harper, a pardon was secured for Miss Rooney, and she was brought to Atlanta and taken to the Woman's Home. Sat? urday Davis was granted a pardon, and this afternoon made the woman his wife. Mrs. Harper, who has kept a supervision over Belle, would not countenance the marriage until she was convinced that Dock was sober and industrious and that he would make a good husband. Inves? tigation showed that Dock had made a model convict. He is a carpenter by trade and can support a wife. The bride is about 20 years old and the groom is 30. The First Five Dollar Greenback. Mr. E. W. Knight, of the First Na? tional bank, M. T., is said to have showed to his friends the other day the first $5 legal tender note ever issued. "Accord? ing to his custom," he said, "the first bill issued was always given to the president, This one was given to President Lincoln. When he died he gave it to his son. His son kept it for some time, but accidental? ly lost it one night. Nothing was heard of it until a camp was burned up in the territory by the Indians, and the only thing that was found afterward was that bill. It fell into the^bands of Maj. Ken? nedy, who is still the ownemofit."?New York Tribune. ? Watermelons are in the market iri^ south Florida, andjKfaches are ripening rapidly. y CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. On Saturday, evening Wm. E. Coxe, Jr., Lucein Odom and Eugene Cose were on their way to McDaniel's mill to go in bathing. When near the East end of the dam they were met by a colored boy named Dock Dargan (a son of the well known Essex Dargan) armed with a double-barreled shotgun. A few hurried words passed between Wm. E. Coxe, Jr., and Dargan, when Dargan raised his gun and fired, the ball entering the left breast and causing death immediately. Dargan then ran off, going in the direction of his home. He was arrested Sunday morning and lodged in jail. Rumors of lynching are beard, but the Sheriff will protect the prisoner until court meets in June. The deceased was in his twentieth year, and was the son of Mr. W. E. Coxe. Dargan had previously had a difficulty with one of the Coxe boys, and his mother brought out the same gun to him to shoot young Coxe. On Monday night some parties went to the house of Essex Dargan, father of the murderer, and fired into his house, it is supposed, purposely to kill the father, but. instead killed a a innocent three-year-old child.?Benneltsvilte Dem? ocrat. Mount Cabmel, Pa. May 6.?Be? tween 10 and 11 o'clock last night a ter? rible accident occurred on the Philadel? phia and Reading Railroad, between this place and Locust Gap. Freight train No 67, consisting of seventy?five cars, bound for .Williamsport, became discoo- > nected by the breaking of a coupling, and the engine and three cars ran half a mile before the crew discovered that the train was divided. The first section awaited the arrival of the second at the foet of a heavy grade, and the two brakemen losing control of the second section, it dashed into the first section, causing an explo? sion in the third car, which was loaded with Dupont powder. At the scene of the accident the railroad runs along a steep hill, at the bottom of which stood two rows of houses occupied by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company's employees. On the hillside Btood a little cottage occupied by John Quinn and his family of fonr children, two boys and two girls. The force of the explosion wrecked the buildings, seven? teen in all, and the stoves set fire to the ruins. Quinn and his two little girls were burned to ashes. The two Boys escaped with borne. Simon Eerwick's family consisted of Mary and Willie Cavanagh, adopted children, aged res? pectively, 8 and 14 years, David Kerwick aged S, Alice Kerwick aged 5 and his wife and a new born babe.

Nolen Sauls, who lives about seven miles west of here, died suddenly, on Tuesday, of heart disease. He was a good, quiet, orderly citizen and a farmer of good standing. Mrs. C. 0. Revel, his sister, who lives in Darlington, came to see him a few days before his death, and on Wednesday night eat up with the rest of the family nntil about midnight, when she retired. She did not get up as early as usual next morning, but no one thought strange of it until her baby was heard crying. Some of the family im? mediately went to see what was the matter, found the littfe fellow sitting by his mother weeping, and to their great surprise found her laying on her face in the cold and chilly embrace of death. As soon as the 'fact of her death was known Trial Justice H. P. Bald wing, of Scranton, immediately empanelled a jury of inquest, and fonnd that she came to her death from heart disease. Chabl?tte, May 3.?Lizzie Ingle, a young white woman, was burning corn stalks in the field of J. F. Kerns, in Long Creek township, yesterday, when her clothes caught fire, and before assis? tance could reach her was so badly burned that she died in a few hours. A colored man arrived first, tore off the burning clothing, and went for help. Mr. Kerns, arriving twenty minutes later, found Miss Ingle standing erect, alone, burned almost to a crisp. The accident occurred at 3 P. M., and she died at 10 P. M. The deceased was 21 years old, and had recently moved to the neighbor [ hood. She bore her sufferings without a murmur. The scene and circa ms t an ces are represented as pitiable in the extreme. The young woman bore a splendid char? acter, and her fate is greatly deplored. Walhalla, 8. C, May 5.?On yester? day morning Mrs. Clara Addis, an old lady about 69 years old, who was spend? ing a few days with her son, near this 5lace, was accidently burned to death, 'he family was in the field at work and j no one was about the house to render her I any assistance or to give the alarm.

Samuel claims that he killed his brother in self-defence. Raleigh, N. 0., May 7.?At Carthage, Moore county, Saturday evening a young man named McNeill shot Miss Ida Poe, seriously wounding her. Jealously is supposed to have been the cause of the shooting. McNeill called to see tho young lady, and, finding that she was entertaining another gentleman in the parlor, asked her to come to the door, j and shot her. He then fled. Great in? dignation is expressed against McNeill in Carthage, and telegrams are being sent in every direction for his apprehen? sion. Athens, Ga., May 1?Last night, when Neal Taylor, a railroad laborer of the colored persuasion, went to his home he found that his wife had bidden a long farewell to the world, the flesh and the devil, and embraced Christianity. Neal, whose religious precepts are rather lax, endeavored to persuade his wife to for? sake her newly formed faith, and upon refusal to do so, used more effective argu? ment in the shape of a bed slat. The woman's hands were tied above her bead, and she was forced to bend herself over a trunk, while her fiendish husband beat her unmercilessly. The woman is dying from the effects of the beating, and her inhuman husband is at large. Cleveland, Ohio, May 5.?Light? ning struck a country school house in Delaware county yesterday afternoon.

Wichita, Kansas, May 7.?A strange atmospheric phenomenon was seen at Maize, west of this city, yesterday. A storm cloud burst and extended over a space, parallelogram in form, abont 500 yards wide and one mile in length. For half an hour the rain came down in tor? rents. The heavens were black, and darkness almost equal to that of night covered the entire area. The people ran affrighted from their homes, many crying that the end of the world had come. Maize is situated on the south bank of the Arkansas Biver and the streets were turned into rivers,, which fortunately found outlets into the Arkansas. An eye-witness described the rain coming down in torrents, washing away a num? ber of houses and moving others from their foundations. A house in which a family named Rock by lived was picked np by the floods and carried into the Arkansas Biver, where it sank, drowning Bockby, his wife and two children. A number of narrow escapes are reported. The water from the cloud seemed to come straight down and could not have been thicker had it found its sconrce from a lake in the air. The bodies of the Bockby family have not yet been recovered. The damage will be very large. A great many cattle and horses were drowned. Duties on Farm Products. a Washington, . May 3.?General Browne of Indiana intends to offer a number of amendments to the Mills tariff bill, which will bring the farmers within the circle of protected interests. He has been, charged by his Bepublican col? leagues with the duty of offering amendments to the agricultural portions of the bill, and be has been studying them with the interest which comes from a practical personal knowledge of farming. He believes that our wheat will soon need protection against the wheat of India and Russia, and he proposes to in? crease the duty from twenty to twenty five cents a bushel. He says that with wages at eight to twelve cents a day in India it is already possible to lay down Indian wheat in London cheaper than it can be exported from this country, and the English within the past few years, have been running fourteen thousand miles of railroad through the richest wheat producing regions of India. General Browne will also move to increase the duties on potatoes, eggs and vegetables. It is not generally known, he says, how largely these things are imported. In Pittsburg the people eat cabbages raised in Holland, and onions are brought in large quantities from Egypt and Spain. Seven hundred thou? sand bushels of potatoes have been imported in one montb, and 16,000,000 dozen of eggs have been brought in in one year, mostly from Norway. General Browne will move to increase the duty on potatoes from fifteen cents a bushel to twenty cents, and on vegetables from thirty per cent, ad valorem to about forty per cent. The Farmer's Trust. Topeka, Kansas,, May 2.?The State Farmers' Convention for the organization of a farmers' trust held here yesterday was well attended, delegates being present from nearly all the Central and Western States. Ex-Governor Butler, of Nebras? ka, was Chairman. Colonel Walter N. Allen, of Kansas, the originator of the movement, explained at length his plan to form a farmers' trust, which shall regulate and control the shipment and distribution of all farm products. Ten central agencies are to be established at Chicago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Indi? anapolis, Omaha, St. Louie, Cedar Rapids, St. Paul, Milwaukee and Louisville to do all the selling for members of the associa? tion. The territory tributary to these commercial points is to be divided into eight principal districts and subdivided into sub district associations by counties. The principal of ench central agency, together with a general superintendent of the association, is to constitute an execu? tive board, with power to regulate.and control shipments of products on the markets, and to do all other things that shall in their judgment appear to be for the best interest of the association. Agents will be appointed to organize the farmers, stock growers and feeders into district and Bub-district organisation?, requiring pledges and obligations to obey the orders of the executive board with respect to sale and shipment of produce. . Addresses were made by Judge Mout lon of Missouri, B. T. K. Prame* of Illinois, and others. A May Blizzard. Chicago, May 4.?A violent storm is raging over a large territory of the Northwest. Many points are cut off from telegraphic communication. At St. Paul there was considerable snowfall this morning. . The temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point this morning at that city, and at Bismarck and at Fort Sully. A Northwester is blowing here, and the indications are that the ther? mometer will reach the freezing point by to morrow morning.

A monster toad, weighing sixty-Bix pounds and measuring nearly three feet round the body, is said to have been found at Juillac, France, and Bold for $350 to a manufacturer at St. Etienne. Its croaking bears a close resemblance to the barking of a dog. The inhabitants of all the country round have been pour? ing into Juillac to see the phenomenal animal. ? The temperance folks in Florida have got the liquor license question fairly solved in a manner that will almost com? mand the respect of a Prohibitionist. A man who wants to go into the liquor business must first get 300 signatures to his application, and this list must be pub? lished in the county newspaper. He then goes before the Court, where strict inquiry is made as to his character. If bis application is approved he pays a license fee of $450, which is equally divided by the State, the county and the town._ Is Consumption Incurable t Head the following : Mr. C. H.
