The I of this country generally, North and ith, sustains the grand jury. Italy had A let. tie. matter drop, or leave it to the j^^rity .olf Congress to indemnify the liesof. the slain Italians. It will be surprising if Georgetown re? cognizes herself as the same old place af? ter reading what the enchanted editors have said about her. i - ? Russia's cruel and tyrannical expulsion of the JewB from certain of her sections and cities has met with a severe rebuke. By the hasty removal of so influential a class in business circles, business has been so completely crippled in those sections that the government has ordered the ex? pulsion to cease. Mr. Robert Adger died at his home in Charleston last Friday evening of apo? plexy. Mr. Adger was one of Charleston's oldest merchants, as well as one of her best and most progressive citizens. He was long connected with the steamship in? terests of that port, and was.President of the Coosaw Phosphate Company. He was 78 years of age. The census returns show some figures that are not encouraging with regard to crime. Criminal statistics declare the fact that we have in the United States now thirteen more convicts to the million of population than there were in 1880. It would be interesting to know whether crime in the country is increasing at such a rate as this. If so, it is a bad lookout. The Board of Trustees of Clemson Col? lege met at Fort Hill on Wednesday, 7th inst. There are now 450 applicants for scholarships and the Board decided to change the plan of the dormitories so as to accommodate more students. July 28th was Bet apart' for laying the corner stone of the main College building, and the faculty will be elected on the day following._ The Nashville American states that there is a section in West Tennessee in which farmers for the last few years have in a great measure abandoned cotton and turned their attention to other and more profitable crops, and this particular sec? tion is to-day in. better financial shape than any other part of the State, unless it be in those sections devoted exclusively to the production of stock. Every young man who earns wages ought to buy a lot and make a start of a home. The way to get a start is to save a little money'each month and make a payment on your purchase, and so, little by little pay for a lot and build your house. Don't spend all your money on livery turnouts and dances and ice cream to please your best girl. After awhile you will need a home for that best girl, and the youngsters that some way or an other generally come around and want to "put up" with you. Put a little of your spare cash into the ground as you go along, and after many days it will bring you a royalty. Col. H. P. Hammett, President of the Piedmont Cotton Mills, died at his home in Greenville last Friday morning, in the 68th year of his age. His illness was of short duration, and the announcement of his death waa a great shock to his friends throughout the State. Truly a great man has fallen, and in hiB death, not only Greenville, but the State of South Caro? lina loses one of its best, most progressive and noble citizens, whose place will be hard to fill. Piedmont Cotton Mills itands as a monument to his energy and enterprise. Col. Hammett was a zealous member of the Methodist Church, and in every relation of life performed his du? ties well. , _ Right up in the western corner of South Carolina, says the New York Sun, is per? haps the best trout fishing region within the same distance from New York. How it came to be so is most interesting. There are the foothills and some of the mountains of the Blue Ridge, or at least, 'of a spur of that chain. The streams never had any trout or fish of any sort in them. Yet on the other sid? of the mountains all the waters were richly stocked. One year, hot bo long ago, Gen. Wade. Hampton, who had summered there from boyhood, took a barrel in a wagon and went over the mountains to get as many trout as he could. He came back with plenty and whenever he cross? ed a stream on the east side of the range he threw a handful of young trout in and passed along. Like Bre'f Fox, he said nothing to nobody. In a year or two he went again and fished surreptitiously in the waters that were supposed never to have known a fish. He caught plenty. The next year the sparse population dis? covered their existence. Now the streams abound with splendid tront. The Manufacturers' Record of last week published a list of every cotton seed oil -mill in the South, giving the name, loca? tion and capacity of each. This report shows that there are now 194 mills with a capital of over $20,000,000 against forty mills with a capital of $3,500,000 in 1880. Forty of these mills have estab? lished fertilizer factories in connection with their oil business, using cotton seed meal as a basis for manufacturing fertili? zers. Reviewing the industry, the Man? ufacturers' Record says': "It was- but a few years ago when cotton seed were an incumbrance, and when the farmers had to dump them wherever they had a waste place. It is true that to some little extent their value as a fertilizer was recognized, and here and there a few were used for the purpose, but they counted nothing in adding to the wealth of the South or to the prosperity of the Southern farmer. The increase in mills has been greater in size and quality than in number. Many of the oil mills that were badly construct? ed and filled with antiquated machinery have been abandoned, and the business concentrated in newer and more thor? oughly equipped mills. The Cotton Oil trust has pursued this policy, and has ceased to operate a number of mills that it purchased." _ ? A St. Louis man has invented a ship which is said to be suitable both for river and ocean navigation. It is to draw eight feet of water in the river and twenty to -twenty-six feet; at sea, according to the load it carries, and the draft is to be ad? justable at the will of the navigator. The thing works with a series of adjustable keels, operating on the principle of the center board, to be raised and lowered at will, according to the depth of water, so that a 4,000-ton ship can sail up the Mis? sissippi to St. Louis,gor up the Ohio to Cincinnati. ? The sleep fasting contest which be? gan a week ago at San Francisco with twenty entries ended in W. C. Woodford, the only contestant who remained awake, being forced by the management to retire at 9:45 Thursday morning. He had been without sleep for 158 hours and 48 minutes, and when finally obliged to close his eyes waa pronounced by the physician in danger of becoming a ma? niac. It is now believed he will main? tain his reason. He broke the record of one hundred and forty-four hours and twenty minutes which was made in Detroit. Woodford received $100, and I Jackson and Harris, who remained awake I over ninety-six hours, $50 and $25 I respectively. CRISP CORRESPONDEACE. The following letter will explain itself: Mr. "William J. Cathcart, County Chairman, Columbia, S. C?Dear Sir: Mr. John H, Feareon has resigned the office of Judge of Probate for Bichland County, his resignation to take effect on the 27th instant. The Governor has therefore issued a proclamation requiring the commission? ers of election for the said County to order an election to be held on the 12th day of next June to fill the nnexpired term, and directs me to request you, as chairman of the Democratic party of Eichland County, if you regard yourself as such, to take the steps necessary to provide for a primary election by which the Democracy may select their candidate for the office. Yours very respectfully, James P. Bean, Private Secretary. To this Mr. Cathcart sent the following reply, endorsed on the letter of Secretary Bean: Columbia, S. C, May 6,1891. Mr. James P. Bean, Private Secretary ?Dear Sir: Respectfully returned to Mr. James P. Bean, "private Secretary," with the request that he inform "the Governor," (if he regards himself as such,) that I. know the duties devolved upon me as County chairman of the Democratic party of Richland County, and will confine myself to the business of my office, and suggest that he do like? wise. Respectfully, Wm. J. Cathcart, County Chairman of the Democratic party of Richland Connty. Gov. Tillman was absent from Colum? bia when Mr. Cat heart's note was sent to Mr. Bean. On his return a Slate corres? pondent called on him in regard to the matter. He stated that he would not reply to the note sent him. He gave the following reason for using the expression, "If yon regard yourself as such," in addressing Mr. Cathcart as County Chairman, which expression called forth Mr. Cathcart's keen retort; "I don't care to say anything in regard to the matter except that I notified Mr. Cathcart of my having ordered an elec? tion just as I do all County Chairmen when a vacancy occurs. Having heard that he voted against the regular Demo? cratic nominees at the last election I did not know whether he considered himself a Democrat or not. That is the reason I placed the clause referred to in the let? ter. As to the nature of Mr. Cathcart's reply I don't care to say anything or i make any comment whatever." A Few Plain Words to the Methodists of South Carolina. Southern Christian Advocate. Dear Brethren: The importance i of Christian female education is generally -admitted, but not fully realized. The. truth is that, so far as the Church is con? cerned, the Christian education of our daughters is much more important than that of our .sons. The solemn question suggests itself, "Are we as a Church doing our duty in this great matter ?" To my mind, the answer comes immedi? ately, "We are not." Let us look quietly at some of the facts. We had at our last conference nearly 67,000 members. It is perfectly reasona? ble to estimate that this large body of respectable people contains five hundred J'ojng ladies of sufficient ability, intel ectual and pecuniary, to admit them to College. There are, no doubt, at least a thousand who ought to be enrolled in Borne good Church school of higher or lower grade. To meet this urgent demand, we have only the Columbia Female College. This institution, ad? mirably located, well equipped, and ably manned, is achieving, its share of the work of the Church to the entire satisfac? tion of all concerned. But it is impossi? ble for itto do all that the daughters of the Church urgently need. If all our girls should seek access to its halls, it could not accommodate tbem all. And, besides, the people of the Piedmont sec? tion cannot be induced to send their daughters down the country to school; and the Pee Dee people have formed the habit of patronizing North Carolina schools, because they can reach them so much more conveniently. Besides keep? ing the Columbia Female College filled to its utmost capacity, we ought to have as commodious an institution in the Pee Dee section, and another among our Pied? mont Hills. This brings us to the action of our Con? ference with reference to the Williamston Female College. It is proposed to pur? chase this institution, and present it to the Conference at its next session. The owners of this property have offered it to the Church for $16,000?not half what it would- cost if it were located in a large town. The building is well designed for its purposes, containing a spacious chapel, a good supply of recitation rooms, and accommodations for the Faculty and sixty boarding pupils. The lot contains four acres of land, most of which is in a good state of cultivation. . Besides this real estate, the offer in? cludes all the school and household fur? niture, the circulating and reference libraries, the physical and chemical apparatus and supplies, the college mu? seum, and the. instruments and fixtures of the music and art departments; in a word, everything necessary for the suc? cessful conduct of an institution of high grade for the education of our daughters. Toward the purchase of this property for the Conference, I propose to give five thousand dollars, and my children and the other citizens of Williamston will contribute between six and seven thou? sand dollars, provided the Church at large will raise the remainder. That is to say, the Methodists of South Carolina have the opportunity of increasing their operations in the field of female educa? tion about fifty per cent., and coming into possession of a very valuable prop? erty for this purpose, by raising only a small fraction of its actual value. It seems to me that we ought not to lose this opportunity. It is highly proba? ble that we will never again nave so favorable an offer. An average of about . thirty dollars from each pastoral charge in the Conference would secure the prop? erty to the Church. It will be impossible for me to make extensive personal canvass for the rais? ing of this money. Neither 1b it neces? sary. If each friend of the cause of female education will make only a slight effort, the result will be promptly ac? complished. I will be glad to receive reports of contributions, large or small, as soon as convenient; and, if the editor will give me space, I will publish from time to time the progress we are making. Now, a few personal words. Let it not be supposed that this is a scheme of mine to further my own interest. Our propo? sition to transfer the ownership and con? trol of this Institutiou to Trustees to be appointed by the Conference is made in perfect good faith. True, the Conference expressed its sense that I ought to be retained in the Presidency j but this is by no means a condition of our offer ; and, if the new Trustees should prefer some other person for the place I have filled so long, it will be no disappoint? ment to me. I will be prepared to put my case in the hands of the Bishop and his cabinet, glad to occupy any field to which their godly judgment may assign me. Indeed, nothing would delight me more than to be permitted to finish my course in the regular work of the pastor? ate. 8. Lanper. ? A Florida paper that ought to know says that there are over thirty-three va? rieties of sweet oranges, not to mention the "natural stock," which is the larger and handsomer fruit than the sweet or? ange, and is excellent for orangeade and marmalade, but, being very sour, is sel? dom shipped North. ?

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Marion, Ala., May 6.?Edith Brown, 8 girl of seven years, was frightened to death to-day by a huge St. Bernard dog. As she was passing along the street the dog ran fiercely to the fence around the yard of a neighbor's residence, barking and climbing up on the palings. Tbe child screamed and fell to the ground. Passers by came to her assistance, but when they reached her she was gasping in the last agonies, and was in a few moments dead. It was literally a case of being frightened to death. Knoxville,Tenn.,May 7?A bloody duel was fought near this city late yester? day by two men named Johnson and Size more. The trouble has existed a long time between the men, and, failing to set? tle the difference, Johnson sent word to Bizomore to meet him in a secluded spot. The challenge was accepted, and in the fight Johnson was killed. Size more is the Bon of the man who killed nineteen men before himself being killed. A re? ward has been offered for Sizemore's ar? rest, and a large posse is now hunting him down. New York, May 6.?Inspector Byrnes has arrested a lunatic who threatened to kill Jay Gould unless he was bought off with a large amount of money, one mil? lion dollars down and ten annual pay? ments of a half million each. His name is Charles J. Dickson, and he came from Pueblo, Colorada, for the purpose above set forth. He imagines, or pretends to imagine himself vice-President of a band of world reformers, styling themselves in his mind, "Christ's followers," and to be doomed to carry out the decree of the or? der. To-day Dixon was committed to await examination as to his insanity. Pine Bluff, Ark., May 6 ?The trial of David B. and Oscar Markley for killing a hog belonging to a neighbor, on a change of venue from Arkansas County, came up in the Circuit Court to-day, and ended in an acquittal. The Arkansas County Stock Association was the chief prosecu? tor in this case, which has made the rounds of the Courts during the last'two years. It has cost the Markleys $6,000, and ruined them. Arkansas County has suffered to the amount of $5,000. It has caused a divorce suit, and hundreds of witnesses have had to attend the various trials from time to time. The value of the shoat creating all this disturbance is $2 50. Pittsburg, PA., May 10.?James T. Stewart, a coal miner, living at Camp Hill, near Mansfield, killed his wife Ma- ? ria, last night, in a most atrocious man? ner. They quarreled while the wife was washing dishes. Hot words passed and Stewart picked up the lamp to throw at his wife. She ran, but while passing through the door he threw the fiery mis? sile, which broke completely, drenching her with blazing oil. She lived until morning, expiring in great agony. Stew? art had boasted Friday he would get drunk Saturday and go home and kill her. He has been arrested and narrowly escaped lynching. Newport, Ark., May 7.?Peter Smith, of Fisher, a station on the Cotton Belt Railway, twenty miles south of here, has been in the habit of riding a fast horse ahead of a passenger train on tbe track about a half a mile to a crossing, where he would turn off and laugh at the train? men as the train sped by. His success in defeating the train to the crossing on hia horse encouraged him to try it with a mule. Yesterday he mounted his mule, and as the train started up Peter set out ahead at a full gallop. It became evident that tho mule was not swift enough to reach the crossing in time. The train con? tinued to gain on him very fast, and when within half a dozen yards of the crossing the mule stumbled and fell. It rolled over the rails, but Smith was run over by the train. His head was cut off, both legs were cut from his body and scattered along the road for some distance. Birmingham, Ala., May 11.?C. H. Russell, cashier of the Georgia Pacific freight office, was at work with his books to-night in the office. The safe was open, but the building was locked. A watchman in the rear of the building was the only other person in the place. Shortly before 11 o'clock the watchman beard Russell screaming and rushed to his assistance, He found him lying near the safe, robbers having knocked him in the head, robbed tbe safe, and set fire to the papers. The fire had gained too much headway for the watchman to suc? cessfully fight it, so he carried Kussel I to the street and gave the alarm. The building was gutted and a large amount of freight burned. The loss by fire is unknown. The amount secured by the robbers is also unknown. Ruseell became unconscious shortly after being discover? ed by the watchman. His injuries are serious. Chester, May 9.?A. R. Wilson, of the police force of this town, was fatally shot by Fred Buchanan, a saloon keeper, at 10 o'clock last night, on tbe main bus? iness street of the town. It appears that an arrest of a colored woman made by Wilson yesterday afternoon, gave offense to Buchanan. The two men met on tbe public Btreet last night, an altercation arose between them, when, in almost a moment, the fatal shot was fired. The wounded man lingered until 3 p. m. to? day. In the forenoon he made a state? ment, in view of his approaching death, in which he declared that Buchanan fired the shot that killed him. W. H. Cookson, also of the police force, was arrested this afternoon and committed to jail as an as sessory to the killing. Buchanan has fled. The intendant of the town ha? offered a reward, of $100 for the arrest cf Buchan? an. The governor will be asked to offer an additional reward. Louisville, Ky., May 11.?A special from Mt. Vernon, Ky., says: Near Wil dee, this County, yesterday afternoon, George Hayes shot his cousin, Thomas Hayes, three times, from which the latter died this morning. The parties had been at outs over a settlement about some corn. When they met yesterday Tom advanced on and was abusing George, and made a demonstration as if to draw a weapon. A shot was fired, and Tom fell to the ground. He arose and advanced noon George, saying: "Yon haven't killed me yet." Another shot followed, and Tom went down again. Again, he arose, with tbe remark, "Yon haven't got me yet." He still advanced, running George through the house, when the latter fired a parting shot as he ran. This shot also took effect. Two bullets bad pierced his bowels and one had entered his chest. George Hayes surrendered to-day. The dead man leaves a wife and three chil? dren. Louisville, Ky., May 11.?Details of a murderous affair which took place yes? terday on Woolford Creek on the North Carolina line, are received here. Jona? than Bell, an old and well-to-do man, head of a mountain family, lost his wife by death six weeks ago. After two weeks he married a girl seventeen years old greatly to the disgust of tbe family. They grew more dissatisfied and finally went to the old man's house, and taking the girl out, stripped her and gave her 100 lashes. On the following day, on complaint of the old man and ono John Ballow, the white cappers were arreated, bat were released on bond. Then they went to Ballew's house to punish him for interfering. Bal lew and his family resisted, and in the fight which followed John Bell was killed. "Big" and "Wild Bill" Bell, Hiram Mor? ton, Jack Johnaon and three others were fatally shot. Johnson and "Big" Bell have since died, and it is said the others are dying. There have been no arrests, and both aides are armed for more war? fare Baltd'OKe, April 6.?An aocldent, very similar to that which caused the death of Dr. Bothwell in New York, be? fell little Annie Glassner, eight years of age, about a week ago, and is now attract? ing the attention of the medical fraterni? ty. While in school she swallowed a pin of ordinary size. A moment later the class was startled by the child gagging and gasping for breath. Finally she managed to make known her trouble, and the teachers carried her to a dispensary, but tbe physician in charge was unablo to locate the pin, Meanwhile her throat began to swell, and tbe child almost went into convulsions from pain, with her apron and dress covered with blood which flowed from her throat. Sho waa sent home. Since then leading surgeons have made examinations, but are unable to find the pin, The child presents a pitiable appearance. Her mother says she haB carcely eaten anything, and during the night moans with pain. The doctors fear that the pin is imbedded in the lower left side of the throat, with only the head ex* poBed, and they are therefore unable to find it. Unless the pin is soon removed the girl will die. Bennlted in old Age. Houston, Miss., May 9.?About fifty years ago Lee Barton and Mattie Love? lace were married in South Carolina. After living together twelve years they were separated oy divorce. Mr. Barton came to Mississippi. In Houston he met Miss Millie Martin, and soon afterward they were married. They lived happily together until about a year ago, when Mrs. Barton died. In his loneliness, Mr. Barton's thoughts reverted to his first love in South Caro? lina. The divorced wife had been mar? ried, and a few years ago had lost her husband by death. A correspondence was begun, the old flame was rekindled, and after the separation of thirty-eight years they replighted their troth. The widow came to Mississippi, arriving last Saturday, and they were remarried on Sunday evening, by the Rev. Mr. Wilson, at the Second Baptist church. William Griffin and his wife?each about sixty years of age?were the attendants. They have begun life anew and appear as happy as in youth. Running for an Office. Crawfordsville, Ind., May 7.?On Monday last there occurred the city elec? tion at Waynetown, Montgomery County. William Simms and Franz Hollowell tied for the office of treasurer, each receiving 823 votes. To decide the question as to which should hold the office a foot race was held yesterday between them. The race was a two hundred yards dash and several thousand people were on the ground betting on the outcome. Simms seemed a sure winner until ha tripped and fell when within three yards of the goal, Hollowell fell over him, but crawling over the line, won the race amid the howls and cheers of the crowd. Hollowell was duly Bworn in last even? ing. ?

' 45_1 LOOK OUT m THE INSPECTORS I THE Sanitary Committee of the City Council and the City Board of Health are determined to enforce the sanitary laws strictly this season, and we hope to get the assistance of every good citizen of Ander? son. At a meeting of the Health Com? mittee a few days ago it was decided to begin an inspection of the private premises of the citizens within the corporate limits of the City on Monday, 18th May, and throughout the Summer season an inspec? tion will be held at least once a month. The Chief ot Police has been instructed to observe closely, and report each and every citizen who violates the sanitary laws. The Chief will supply lime to all appli? cants free of cost for disinfecting purposes. The Ordinance in reference to keeping hogs will also be strictly enforced, and the Po? lice will report the name of any person who is not complying with the law. W. H. NARDIN, s. M. ORE, M. L.
