Greenville has certainly added another long chapter to her history. Her Gala Week is a thing of the past, but those who participated in the festivities of the week will never forget the occasion. It was our intention to have gone over there on Tuesday and attend the annual meet? ing of the Press Association, but the pressure of business prevented us from getting off on that day, and we were deprived of the pleasure of meeting with our brethren. However, we had set our heart on spending, at least, a portion of the week, in our sister city, and when Thursday morning rolled around we boarded the cars and soon landed there. The city was already full of people, but our train added several hundred more to the crowd; Since M^day the crowd of visitors had been daily increasing. Thursday had been put down on the programme for the Reunion of the old Confederate soldiers, and it proved the day of the week, for "on that day the crowd of visitors was larger than on any preceding or succeeding days of the week. Various estimates, placed the crowd at from eight to ten thousand persons, which, we think, was alow estimate. ? When we reached the city we immedi? ately drove to the city park, where the Reunion was being held. Main street, through which we passed, was a moving mass of humanity. On every side could be seen the gay decorations of bunting, flags, etc. Some of the decorations of . the business houses and private residences were exceedingly pretty. These decora? tions extended through all the leading thoroughfares. Offing to the death of a relative, Gov. Lee, of Virginia, who had accepted an invitation to address the old soldiers, Was prevented from being present, but other distinguished gentle? men were there and entertained the vet erana with some fine speeches. > The Military Encampment seemed to be the leading attraction in the city, and early in the afternoon we visited the camp, which was located on the campus of Furman University, a most beautiful and appropriate place. There were in camp about 800 men, all told. After securing a pass, allowing us the privi? leges of the camp, we bunted up our boys, the Palmetto Riflemen, and found them enjoying camp life to the utmost degree. Capt. Hill was quietly indulging in a .smoke, while all of his boys were loung? ing around, cracking jokes and talking over the incidents that had happened in the camp. Every one of them was in the best of spirits, and expressed themselves as being delighted with camp life. The troops drilled twice a day, morning and evening, and at each drill were greeted by thousands of spectators. As we gazed upon the tents that dotted the camp, the gay uniforms of the troops, the sentinels marching their beats, we could hardly realize that we were, viewing South Car? olina's noble young men. Nothing occurred on the camp to mar the pleas? ures of the occasion, and from the begin? ning to the close it was admirably man? aged. The troops were under strict mil? itary discipline, but the boys went there to have some fun, and they had it. Capt. Hill and his Company presented a fine appearance on the dress parades, and were among the finest-looking Com? panies on the ground. The boys con? ducted themselves admirably, and gave Capt. Hill no trouble whatever. They drilled well, and rnauy compliments were paid them upon tbeir fine appearance. We remained in the Mountain City until Saturday, and were loth to leave at that time. An interesting programme of amuseementa were arranged for each day. Thursday night the grand display of fireworks took place, and wr a witnessed by several thousand persons. Friday the troops paraded over the city, and were reviewed by Gov. Richardson and his staff. That night the grand mil? itary ball took place, and it was attended by an immense crowd. We could write columns on the Gala Week, but space and time forbids. Greenville got up the Gala Week as an advertising scheme to attract a crowd of visitors and to make money, and well has she succeeded. The crowd was a little more than Bhe could accommodate, but she did the best she could. The hote's and boarding bouses were full, and the private homes of the citizens were crowded with "their sisters, their cousins and aunts." Many persons went there and came away dissatisfied with the accommodations,- but that was to be expected, for there are - always a few '?'chronic kickers" in every public gath? ering. The citizens were very hospita? ble, kind and courteous. Anderson was well represented in the city throughout the week, and every one of our people seemed to enjoy the occasion very much. Greenville is a live, progressive city, and Anderson congratulates ker upon the success of her first Gala Week. Against Chinese Cheap Labor. ? San Francisco, Cal, July 26?A grept indignation mass meeting was held here last night against the Chinese. Thousands were turned away from the main hall and formed ao overflow meet? ing. After the speeches, a memorial to Congress was adopted with cheers, setting forth that through the perversions of the laws of the United States Court thousands of Chinamen were entering this port weekly, and offering to prove these facts at their own expense to a visiting Congressional committee, and finally de? manding the impeachment of Federal Judges Sawyer and Sabin for perverting the laws. A resolution was also adopted, starting a large popular subscription to fight the Chinese invasion legally, step by step. The meeting was called and participa? ted in by all the trades unions in the City. Not the Charter, but tbe Burglar's Oak. * Augusta, 6i., July 26.?One year ago the house of L. S. Sessions, a few miles from this city, was robbed of some money and silver plate. Tbe thief was discov? ered and almost captured, when be mysteriously disappeared in the darkness, and tbe most diligent search failed to trace him; Yesterday Mr. Sessions or? dered a tree to be cut, as it gave evidence of rapid decay, and its proximity to his dwelling made it dangerous. It was an immense oak, and for years a hollow bad extended up through it. When the tree fell, tbe skeleton of a man was found wedged in it, and near him the silverware and money that had been stolen from Ses? sions. The supposition is that the burglar in escaping climbed tbe tree and stepped in the hollow so as to elude discovery but found it impossible to get out. A New School for Girls.

Editors : At last "tbe great tariff debate," in tbe bouse of represents* tives, is ended. Tariff reform ,|which was introduced by tbe president in his lost annual message, bas been dragging its slow length through the house of repre? sentatives for more than seven months; and to-day it emerged from the house and made its appearance in the senate. If the American people shall fail to understand tbe tariff question now, it will not be the fault of the representatives of either party. For no question was ever more industriously or exhaustively deba? ted. It is true that the average of foren? sic talent in the house is not now at its highest, and no names have been made illustrious by this debate. But it is also true that, in all our congressional history, no discussion has ever occurred in which the tariff question, which is certain to concern our republic for generations to come, has been bo thoroughly treated in all its aspects of justice and policy. In the nature of things it was impossi? ble that the interest of the people at large, or even the interest of the repre? sentatives themselves should remain at a white heat through bo long a debate; and all parties contemplated with satisfaction the exit of tbe measure from the house on Saturday. The vote on the passage of the bill, in the house, stood yeas 162, nays 149. The majority in favor of the bill was 13. Of the 162 representatives who voted for the measure, two, Fitch of New York and Nelson of Minnesota, were republicans, and three, Anderson of Iowa, Smith of Wisconsin, and Hopkins of Virginia, were independents. If these five gen? tlemen had voted against tbe bill, tbe fi? nal vote would have stood, yeas 157, and nays 154. The majority wonld have been exactly 3 in a total vote of 311. This is close work. At present it is quite impcssible to pre? dict the course of the senate on this bill. The republican senators have not yet decided, in their own minds, what action it is advisable for tbem to take. The development of the next two weeks, in the senate, will be of great interest to the country. If the senate should find it necessary to deliberate upon this subject seven months, as the house has done, the session would continue without adjourn? ment until March 4,1889, the end of the present Congress. From the outset it has been manifest that the Mills bill, if successful in the house, could not pass the senate. It has been equally certain that no tariff bill, which the senate would frame, could be satisfactory to tbe house. If tbe object of the respective parties to thij -long battle had been merely the settlement of the form of a new tariff, it would have been certain, from the outset, that victory was not a possibility for either party. But the democrats and republicans are playing for a higher stake. It is a strug? gle for the possession of the government. And it is amazing to see how the shadow of the coming November election over? spreads and influences every vote, on every question in the senate and in the house. The confirmation of Chief Justice Fuller suggests some interesting possibil? ities as to the future of tbe supreme court. Three of the members of that court, the new chief justice and Justices Field and Lamar, are democrats. Tbe ages of three of tbe other justices render it probable tbat if the democrats carry the November election they will within four years have possession of all the departments of the federal government. The transfer of the executive power of a nation from one party to another, once in twenty years, seems to be a matter of great moment on this side of tbe Atlantic. But John Bull can do it twenty times in one year, without any trouble beyond his customary bellowing. There is a rnmor tbat some of the dem? ocrats, who have not been entirely recon? ciled to the president's virtuous dealing with offensive partisans among democrat? ic office-holders, are pointing to-the case of chairman Brice, of the national dem? ocratic campaign committee, and calling upon the president to take a little of his own medicine. But their wicked repub? lican friends are ready, as usual, with scripture texts for the consolation of these aggrieved democrats. They quote as follows: "But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted which did put things under him;" Senator Ransom and Col. Bright, of the campaign committee, deny that there is the slightest troth in tbe charge of interference, on the part of the president or his private secretary, with the func? tions of Mr. Brice. Soon after the death of a representative in congress, a part of a day's session is devoted to eulogies on the deceased, exaggerating his virtues aud whitewash? ing his vices. These eulogies are deliv? ered by members of tbe bouse. Ordina? rily there is no difficulty in obtaining tbe floor on such occasion's; Bat sometimes there is such a "rush" for the floor, by those who seek to shine' iu the lustre of departed greatness, tbat tbe representa? tives entrusted with the management of the ceremonies are greatly embarrassed in selecting the speakers. This embar? rassment was experienced to an unusual degree, on the Occasion of tbe obsequies of Thaddeus Stevens. Mr. Dickey, bis Buccessor, bad charge of the arrange? ments. Being a new member he was not well acquainted with the representatives, and was overwhelmed with applications for the floor. Mr. Dickey found himself at his wit's end, in his attempts to decide who should and who should not sneak. Being a spiritualist be finally concluded to consult the spirit of Thaddeus Stevens, and to select such speakers as Mr. Ste? vens should prefer for his eulogists. Before this consultation was held he notified tbe committee of bis purpose to confer with the spirit of "the great com? moner," on the Bubject, and there was considerable curiosity to learn the result. Soon afterwards be met the committee, and informed them that be had bad an interview with Mr. Stevens, but was no wiser than before. Mr. Stevens, be said, declared that, inasmuch as he (Stevens) hadn't got to listen to the speeches, he didn't care a d?n who made tbem. It was my purpose to give your read ers, to day, a continuation of the con? gressional history of tbe constitutional amendment which abolished slavery in the United States. But this letter is already too long, and I' must return to that subject at another time. Very respectfully, Talisman. . Swindling the Cotton Grower. St. Louis, July 29.?George Taylor, a prominent St. Louis cotton factor, is authority for tbe statement tbat the jute bagging manufacturers have formed a pool or trust, and have advanced the price of bagging from 7 to 11 cents per yard, while there has been no advance in tbe raw material. Mr. Taylor could not Eurchase such stock as he wanted in St. ours and telegraphed ordere to Eastern manufacturers and received a reply that he had better purchase from St. Louis markets. Mr. Taylor claims tbat the St. Louis manufacturers were apprised of his efforts to place orders io the East, and as Boon as he received a reply declin? ed to fill his order. Fifty million yards of this bagging are consumed per annum, and tbe advance means an additional expenditure of $2,000,000 to consumer. St. Louis will produce nearly one halfthe product of the United States, ? John Francis Charles Herold, of Baltimore, set a good example to people contemplating suicide. Before he took the fatal dose of laudanum he paid all his bills, got all his property in the most portable condition and left the most minute directions as to bis funeral and burial. ?Miss A lice B. Farley, o f Port Hudson, La., is a fragile little woman physically, but she bas strength of mind enough to conduct a large cotton plantation success ly. She threw into planting all the ^wisiasm and perseverance many wo men bft^ow in acquiring feminine accom? plishment, and to-day no cotton pro dnpacfc in^be State ranks higher than thatwbjMfcpmes from her plantation. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Indianapolis, Ind., July 27.?While Grayer meeting was in progress at the I e rid an street M. E. church last night the people present were alarmed by the groans of a man in agony, and an inves? tigation being made, Eugene Zinzis was found on the floor in a pew with an empty bottle at hand. The bottle had contained carbolic acid, which Zinzis had swallowed. He died before he could be removed from the church. Zinzis came from Minneapolis last spring, and married a yonng lady of this city. There is no cause known for the act, unless it be depression over the death of his parents, who are understood to have committed suicide a few days since. Wichita, Kan., July 26,-^Yesterday the household of Daniel McCarty, con? sisting of his wife, four daughters and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Henshaw, were poisoned from drinking buttermilk. Five doctors have been laboring with them and have succeeded in saving the lives of Mrs. McCarty and three of the daugh? ters. The old man, Mrs. Henshaw and one daughter, it is believed, will die. Macon, Ga., July 28.?About 7 o'clock last night George W. Sheppard, an op? erative id the East Macon factory, with his wife and five year old son George, went to bed at their home on Factory Bow in East Macon. Shortly after 8 o'clock Mr. Sheppard was awakened by a dull but severe pain in bis left leg. On waking he found a piece of timber across his face, his right arm across the breast of his wife at his side, and his right leg across the breast of his little son, who was sleeping at the foot of the bed. He bad an indistinct recollection of a flash and a shock, and supposed he had been struck by lightning. Feeling for his wife he found her dead. Beaching down to the foot of the bed he found that hie son was also dead. The lightning had struck the Eastern corner of the house and tore away a portion of the timbers, one piece falling on the bed, which was in the corner, and striking Mr. Sheppard in the face. The footboard of the bed was also splintered. The friends of the family gathered around, and by 9 o'clock had prepared the mother and child for burial. They were laid out on the same bed on which they had been killed, presenting a sad sight. The lightning had not bruised them in any way, but had scorched the hair of each. The neck of Mrs. Sheppard was broken, but there was apparently none of the child's bones broken. Mr. Sheppard came to Macon from Wilkin? son County about three years ago, and has been working during that time in the factory. His grief last night as he stood at the foot of the bed gazing upon the features of his wife and boy, who were sleeping sweetly with him but an hour or so before, was indescribable. ; Milledgevtlle, Ga., July 25.?Wil liam Harper, a storekeeper in Midway, has sustained considerable loss recently at the hands of burglars. He fixed a rifle on a revolving pivot. Strings were tied to the trigger and run about the room in such a manner that they would jerk the muzzle of the gun in the direc? tion of any one touching the strings and at the same time discharge the gun. Virgil Wright was caught in this trap last night. After he had forced an en? trance into the store and while he was plundering he ran against one of the strings. The rifle wheeled towards him and was discharged, its contents entering his stomach. He was found at the store this morning and taken to jail, where he died. Blacksheas, Ga., July 27.?The seven-year-old son of Henry C. Howard, living in Blackshear, was burned to death to day. His mother sent him in the kitchen to make a fire in the stove pre? paratory to cooking dinner. The fire burning too slowly, he got the kerosene can as he had frequently seen others do and proceeded to pour the oil on the inci? pient flame. The result was an explosion which cost him his life. He was fearful Sburned but lingered several hours, is parents have recently moved from the country into town. Chester, July 26.?Mr. L. E. Smith, freight conductor on the Charlotte, Col? umbia and Augusta Bailroad, met with a horrible accident yesterday afternoon about four miles below here, from which he died at 2 o'clock this morning. He was riding on top of one of the cars with his back toward the engine, and was struck on the head by a bridge before he could be warned of his danger, and hurled to the ground. He had only been on this road a short while, and by his polite? ness and attention to duty had won the respect of all who knew him. . Los Angeles, Oal., July 26.?Ex Sheriff Charles Jansen committed sui? cide here yesterday in an extraordinary way. He'tied a handkerchief from the toej on his right foot to the triggers of a double barreled shot gun. Both barrels were discharged, carrying away half of bis head, and splashing the ceiling with bis brains. Chattanooga, Tenn., Julv 27.?A very sensational scene was witnessed on Market Square to-day which' recalled an ugly scandal. Mrs. Will Whitlock, wife of a well known citizen, made an attack on a pretty black eyed girl named Nettie Hugg and before assistance arrived she had beaten the girl verv severely. MiBs Hugg is the daughter ofa wealthy farmer and Mrs. Whitlock said the girl's pretty black eyes had alienated her husband's affections and caused him to desert her. The affair created a great scandal. PhiLADELPHiA, July 25.?Mrs. Mon roe Heilman was terribly burned yester? day by the explosion of a coal oil stove. She was lighting the wick in a shed when the stove exploded, and she was fearfully burned about the back, arms and thighs. She lingered in awful agony till night and died. Her son Daniel, aged 23, was lying dead in the front room at the time of the awful occurrence. The bereaved busband and father is mad with grief. New Flokence, Mo., July 27.?Dur? ing a thunderstorm this morning the lightning struck the house of Herman Uthlant, seven miles south of this place, doing damage to the house and killing one of the two boys, who were Btanding near the wall in the bedroom up-Btsira handling a pocket knife. The other boy was rendered unconscious. He will probably die. Another child was shock? ed but not seriously hurt. The boy killed was soon covered with large spots of crimson and purple hues. PittsbuPvG, Pa., July 23.?Two dan? gerous counterfeiters were arrested this afternoon while attempting to swindle an old man. The counterfeiters had in their posession $45,000 in spurious green? backs and a large number of dies for quarters and half dollars. The "queer shovers" are Btraogers here, but it is thought they belong to a gang that has recently been flooding the country with counterfeit money. They are both young men, apparently not over fifteen years of age, and were well dressed. One of them offered Detective Coulson, the arresting officer, $1,000 to let him go. They are now in the central station, and will be examined by United States Commission? er McCandlesa this atternoon. The old man who was in their clutches was also arrested, and it is expected that be will tell an interesting story. Birmingham, July 30.?The suicide of Maggie Jones, an inmate of a house of ill fame, last night, was the eighth suicide in this city with in four weeks. They have occurred two per week now for four successive weeks, and a common inquiry is, "Has any one committed suicide to-day?" Suicide seems to be epidemic here, forty-three having occurr? ed during the past twelve months. The preachers are discussing in the pulpit, while the public wonder who will be the next. Very few of the suicides left any note or explanation of any kind and most of them are mysteries. Maggie Jones, a prostitute twenty-three years old, took thirty grains of morphine last night and died an hour later without giving any reason for her rash act. ? The Hudson Post clains that Texas can produce within its own borders food amply sufficient for the support of 25, 000,000 people. It has a climate adapted not only to the productions of the tem? perate zone, but to these of semi-tropical character as well. It has timber as well as coal, silver, copper and other minerals in almost exhaustless abundance. A Week In a Well. Omaha, Neb., Jnly 28.?John P. An? derson, living on a farm twelve miles from A in s worth, was cleaning an old well aboutseventy feet deep on Thursday after noon of last week. The curbing, which was old and rotten, gave way andprecipi? tated him to the botton beneath a mass of I dirt. When it became known that he was buried in the well his few neighbors went to work to dig bim out. Saturday afternoon tbey concluded he was dead and arrangements were made for his funeral to take place on Monday. They kept on digging for the body, and on Snnday were startled to hear the entomb? ed man ask them to let in some light. He was still down a considerable distance, and they redoubled their efforts. The curbing had so fallenjas to let in air to him and protect bim from the weight of the dirt overhead. A new shaft was started and dug down about fifty-five feet, and it was proposed to tunnel between the wells; but the men were frightened out of the old well just as they were about to reach the new one. They were afraid of a caving in. A man named Archer then went down the old well in answer to an appeal from Ander? son, and finding that only three or four feet of sand and boards remained to go through, he dug away the sand, lifted a board and gsive Anderson some food and water, the first be bad - bad since last Thursday. He had a supply of tobacco, and to relieve bis thirst sucked moisture from the damp, rotten boards that lay near him. Anderson was finally rescued to day. The community is greatly relieved. So intense has been the excitement and sympathy for the unfortunate man that business of all kinds was very much neg? lected. Farmers left their fields and merchants their stores and flocked to the scene of the accident, offering to lend a helping hand. The women showed their willingness to help also by cooking and sending food to the workers. Although the rescuing party did all in its power, Anderson would never have . been saved but for his own efforts. He planned and directed the work of the last two days, and all the while he was imprisoned never was heard to utter a complaint. In three days after the man was entombed, every one was bo confident that he was dead that the Coroner was summoned, a coffin brought to the well, and the Odd Fellows made preparations to bury bim. At daylight this morning, the work of rescuing Anderson was re? sumed with renewed courage and deter? mination. A small box, eighteen inches long and ten by eleven inches square, open at both ends and thoroughly soak? ed inside, was lowered to the boards tbat were protecting him. When a hole was made large enough, the box was slipped through. At 10 a. m., Anderson, after pulling off all his clothing, tied a rope around under his arma, and, holding his bands straight above bis head, was pulled through the box and released from his prison. Although showing the effects of his accident, he does not look so emaciated as was expected. After Anderson was taken into the bouse, the crowd gave three cheers for Henry Archer and George Campbell, the men who took him from the well. Thesemen were so overcome with fatigue and joy that when the crowd began congratulating them they wept like children. ? On Friday afternoon of last week, says the Aiken Recorder, a shocking ac? cident happened to Mr. J. H. Hines at Laird'h planing mill. It seems that Mr. Hines was in charge of the large circular saw, which was running at full speed, and had occasion to stoop under it to ad? just a loose bolt. On rising he tripped and fell with the front of bis head against the saw, which instantly lacerated his face, nose and forehead terribly. A piece of his right frontal bone was sliced en? tirely away, exposing the brain. For? tunately bis head struck at an angle, or death must have been his immediate fate. He was carried at once to his borne, and soon bad the attention of Dr. Wyman. Since the accident he has been doing reasonably well, and we are glad to learn bids fair to make a good recovery. ?
