Suppose we will drop politics a month f or bo and give the college commencements and the Bweet girl graduates a chance.? l^'^?facbarrtf Observer. We second the ' motion, brother. A series of "whereases" and "resolves" '..??' are being adopted in different sections of the State, about which there is a pecu ::-liarly painfal sameneaa in Bentimentand phraseology. They appear to have been ' issued by one commander in chief. . The' Philadelphia Times gives the ' northern investors a bit of advice which . .-. we like?to come to the Bonth and see for themselves what is offered for their mon .^eyi. If. they will follow this advice the ( vSouthi will not only gain needed capital, but many very useful citizens. The estimated cost of President Harri? :~ son's "swinging round the circle" is $50, ; . 000.: An interesting query is, "Who v- ^paysj"- It is not regarded as possible that the thrifty President has spent a quarter of his official compensation for four years ysjoh this pleasant trip through the country. ^*J.iThe Yoong Men's Christian AsBOcia ;*-r^'tibn" in America has a membership of -.282,000 young men, and buildings valued t at $12,225,000. This sum is estimated as f^;"tB9-iyalne that men of business and phi? lanthropy and- the Christian women of : rthe land have placed upon the inatitu tion, and thus giving it a wide and far : reaching influence. President Benj. Harrison, who was ? . - elected to the presidency of these United ?States in .1888, and who is now President, d who will never be President again, Djoyed appointing colored postmasters the Southern States. There is a va ?cancy in his old home, Indianapolis, and ^:>it is hoped that the beloved President, ?Vi'.General Harrison, may now have an eye " to eternal fitness of things. : Here's the way the money goes: &\^'Secretary Foster said this morning that ? he anticipated no difficulty in meeting the ' quarterly pension payments, aggregating ? 126,000,000, which falls dne June 4th." ?rc This goes to the "boys in bine" who - helped to "save the Union," as well as to ^ ^thosO-who didn't. It was not hard for the Republicans to dispose of the surplus ? -'?- left in the Treasury by the Democrats. ii -- They bought votes with it. An article in the New York Berald, . 3 which seems tobe based on reliable in reformation, reports Secretary of State ?/. , Blaine, vto be failing in both mind and ; .r,body. Recent statements concerning his v . health seem to justify this opinion. Sec? retary Blaine has long been .the most ^popular and brilliant member of the Re 'Sf: publican party, and the G. 0. P. conld better afford, to lose President Harrison than Premier Blaine, especially at this period of its existence. i >-Thp Aogusta CRron?c& aays the idea of .ther Democrats of the South identifying 'y themselves with the third party movement v will not meet with much consideration. A* There are manias that come and go and ; leave not a trace behind. This third \ party idea is one of the craziest of the '.'brood. It is worse than the greenback ^agitation that flourished for awhile and r?thenn died^ because the sober, second ?jfl^Sg^trof the people repudiated it. ?"Hpbere is no hope for the political salva \ tion of the South and the country save and alone in the success of Democratic ^principles. _ : y. The Bible to the contrary notwith ? standing, there are atill a few long-sighted ftj.and prophetic individuals who think they ; can foretell the time of the dissolution of ail the world with great accuracy. One - : Miller predicted that the end would come on a certain day about fifty years ago, and .many people allowed themselves to be deluded into this belief, and refused to plant their crops .and pursue their busi? ness, but ipent the time in prayer, and on the rr ning of the day set (by Miller) .^for the general winding np, appeared dressed i white, ready, we Buppose, "to ' meet t Lord in the air." But still the 4/. flun r .es, and the grass grows and the ?'" bird? mg as of yore. Now comes a schoi ly man, a Prof. Totten, of Yale - College, who is Military Instructor, and - produces an interesting series of figures, upon which hia makes the calculation thai -' the second advent of the Saviour will . take place between now and the year ?':1899, and'-thinka it will be likely to occur ;r-: in the next two or three years. There ' are still others who thick 1901 will be the r -time of the millenium. The chain of , argument used by some of these fellows, - who think they have as much sense as the Lord, is interesting, and sometimes a little startling, but they will never con? vince sensible people that they have dis? covered one of the Almighty's secrets. "The day of the Lord so comelh as a thief In the night"_ THAT THIRD PARTY. . On Tuesday of last week 1417 delegates met in Cincinnati, and before the meet? ing closed they formed a new political party and christened it the "Peoples' . - Party of the United States," and adopted a platform, which was a selection from the "demands" made by the conventions at Omaha, St. Louis and Ocala. On a call of the delegates it was found that the ?? Farmers' Alliance, the Citizen's Alliance, the Knights of Labor and the Colored Farmers'Alliance were represented. The representation was not distributed evenly . over the country, for the five States of - Kansas,. Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio and % -Indiana furnished 1049 of all present. New England and the South was not generally represented. In ail, the South ::- had ^irty-six representatives in the vention, as follows; South Carolina, v 1 (a negro); Louisiana, 2; North Carc ^? lina, 1; Texas, 26, and Tennessee, 6. Senator-elect Peffer, of Kansas, was made Chairman. This action was a surprise to no one. Ab long as the government stands these third parties will be formed, as was the Greenback party not many years ago. - .Their career will likely be brief, aB they usually repreaent nothing so much as the disaffected individuals who compose C^hem., ~ We of the South need no third party. We are a people whose interests are so vfridfentical that we can all stand on the game platform. The Democratic party is I long enough and broad enough to cover " alL^Any measure on reform which may be needed can be obtained through it, The South is "solid" Democratic because her interests require it. and her influence in Congress is becoming powerful. Tbe Southern people need seek no affiliation with strangers, nor expect to accomplish any good by Buch a conjunction. The Democratic party does not belong to any man nor set of men, nor is it run in that way. Every Democrat can help to shape the policy of his party, and in the pri? maries he can cast his vote for the man after his own heart. The Democratic party has withstood the storms of nearly a century, while others have rose and fell. The reason is obvious. It is the peoples' party, and seeks the greatest good for the greatest number, but does not ig? nore entirely the rights of the minority. j The people of the South will never seek after strange gods, no matter what a few i rash individuals among them may do. j The South spoke emphatically* against1 the third party movement by staying away from Cincinnati. DR. GltlFXTN'S REMOVAL. The result of the investigation of the Asylum, reported in these columns some time since, has been that the Governor has arbitrarily removed Dr. Griffin as Superintendent, and appointed Dr. J. W. Thompson temporary Superintendent. Governor Tillman first requested Dr. Griffin to resign,' and this being refused, he displaced him. While the case of the lunatic who was-discovered with a key that would admit him to the female wards was unfortunate, and is the strong? est charge made against the Superinten? dent that has been made public, it must be remembered that at every hour of the day and night guards and keepers were on duty in every part of the Asylum, and it would have been well nigh impossible for the lunatic to have visited any section of the building and yet avoid discovery. Still, he should not have had the key, but that fact hardly proves that Dr. Griffin had been "grossly negligent and culpably careless in watching over the unfortunate female patients" entrusted to his care, as Governor Tillman claims. The Governor says, "I alone am the Judge to decide whether the charges contained in the report of the investigat? ing committee are true," and then offers Dr. Griffin the privilege of coming before him and having hi3 case tried. This Dr. Griffin very sensibly refused to do, de? murring to tbe assumption of such abso? lute jurisdiction on the Governor's part, and insisting that the case shonld be tried by the Board of Regents, or by the Sen? ate on an impeachment as prescribed by the Constitution, as well as to the fact that it was evident the Governor had al? ready prejudged the case. It would have been the merest farce to have gone through the semblance of a trial. Governor Tillman claimed and exer? cised autocratic authority in the case. The friends of Dr. Griffin denied hi? right -so to do. Had the Doctor forced the Governor to resort to the Courts to remove. him, the question of jurisdiction could have been passed upon by the Courts, and we believe it would have been found that our Democratic government had not vested such absolute prerogative in any one man. Those of us who do not see the matter as does Gov. Tillman think Dr. Griffin should have resorted to the Courts to determine the Governor's juris? diction, and his failure to do bo will leave the impression in some quarters that he was afraid of too critical an examination of his office, which may have followed such a course. Of course the Governor has the best of the fight, but there are people in every neighborhood in the State who will al? ways believe Dr. Griffin waB a faithful and competent Superintendent, and has. been dealt with harshly and unjustly, and that back of the whole matter some one has an axe to grind, despite Gov. Till? man's protestations to the contrary. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Greenville, S. 0., May 19.?J. Sproule Marshall, a prominent young man of this city, and one of the leading families of this State, was stabbed last night by W. B. Jennings, a young man of this city. Mr. Marshall's wound is very serious and may prove fatal. The stabbing; resulted from an altercation which began on Broad street. Jennings Is in jail. Orangebtjrg, S. C, May 19.?Leon, a young son of Mr. August Fischer, was accidentally shot this evening with a par? lor rifle by Boyce Slater while engaged with the latter in target practice. The wound is in the forehead and directly above the left eye, but at tbe present writing Drs. Hydrick, Doyle and Scovill, who examined the wound, are very hope? ful as to his condition. Wichita, Kans., May ai.-^-On Tues? day a cloud burst over a house belonging to Joseph Sherman, in Comanche County. Sherman and his wife and six children climbed upon the roof of their dwelling, which floated away in tbe current. It capsized, throwing them all into the wa? ter, and three of the children were drowned. Charleston, May 19.?Violent thun? derstorms prevailed in various parts of the State last night and to- day. Last night Isabella Scott, colored, was killed by lightning in Beaufort. This afternoon Sam Grant was killed by lightning at St. Matthew's, and Mrs. John Blackman was stunned, but not killed at Sumter. At Kershaw this afternoon John R. Ashe's tarpon tine still and warehouse were burn? ed by lightning. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 23.?W. J. Asley, an aged merchant tailor of Se wanee, committed a sensational suicide here to-day by jumping from the highest point of the new County bridge. In fall? ing a hundred feet Asley's body never turned, but struck the water feet down. No cause is assigned for the rash act, de? ceased being a man of considerable prop? erty and father of an interesting and happy family. Hammond, Wis., May 23?Wm. Pee lesB and Charles Chapman, employed by Thos. Murtagh and Thos. Fitzgerald, two farmers living six miles north of here, bad a fist fight last night, in which Pee less was killed. The men took this mode of settling a dispute. They had not fought more than a few seconds when PeelesB fell to the ground, dying in fifteen minutes. Several bystanders attempted to part them, but not until it was too late. Chapman escaped. Greenville, S. U., May If).?Samuel Pickle, a prominent citizen of this city, cut his throat with a pocket knife last night and will probably die of his wound. He is a dealer in horses, and during the last summer doctored horses which had been bitten by mad dogs, and which af? terward died of hydrophobia. Pickle became possessed with the idea that he had hydrophobia, and although he had no symptoms of that disease, the thought preyed on him so that in a moment of extreme depression he cut his throat to escape the horrors of death from it. Edgefield, May 20.?A few days since the country adjacent to Liberty Hill in this county was the scene of a spirited shooting scrape, the participants being Mr. W. P. Cheatham and Jack Whatley, both active and progressive young far? mers, and belonging to prominent fami? lies. It appears that bad blood had ex? isted between them for a considerable time, and thia led to frequent quarrels, and finally it was agreed to meet at a certain time and place and "shoot it out." Accompanied by friends the parties met as agreed upon, measured their distance, and at the word opened fire, the one upon the other. Mr. Cheatham shot eleven times to Mr. Whatley's five. Strange to say, neither party was seriously hurt, each receiving a slight wound. It is reported that they were to have met again "to have it over," but this has not been done. LaQrakge, Tenn., May 19.?Miss Bettie Hatton was crossing the yard yes? terday, when she was horrified to find Jamie, the little 2-year-old son of Mr. James Hatton, of this place, fondling a large spotted snake, which the little fel? low innocently and tenderly held in his arms. She screamed to him, but ho re? fused to relinquish his playfellow, Beeing which she seized him, still holding on to the snake, which he did not drop until she succeeded in frightening him from some other cause. Tbe snake appeared perfectly passive, and without venom even when they came to kill it. Itis sur? mised that the child must have met and caressed it before in his walks about the yard. Chester, May 23.?Deputy H. J. Culp, of Sansford, came to town this evening on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern train in charge of Eugene Shirley, white, who brutally murdered Tbaddeus McFadden, a merchant of Fort Lawn, in this county, yesterday. It ap? pears that Mr. McFadden and Shirley, who has been in tbe Asylum and is still subject to fits of lunacy, have been out for some years about Shirley's treatment of his wife, who is McFadden's sister. This bad feeling came near consummating in a difficulty last January, and led to the affair of yesterday Mr. McFadden was in his field, which adjoins that of Shirley, and, not seeing him, absent mindedly cleared his throat. Whereupon Shirley, taking offence at it, began cursing him. Mr. McFadden, being angered, answered in kind, and Shirley cried: "D-you, wait there and I'll fix you." Whereupon he advanced upon him with a knife. Mc? Fadden drew his knife to defend himself, but was overpowered and killed, the blade entering the eye and inflicting a mortal wound. Memphis, Tenn., May 22.?The Hill Shoe Company failed yesterday and Wm. Vilas Hill, president of the company, immediately thereafter committed sui? cide. The failure of the firm was directly due to the failure of the Lynn Davis shoe company, which owed the Hill shoe company between $300,000 and $400,000. President Hill received a telegram from the Lynn firm about 4 o'clock yesterday advising him to assign to protect himself. He gave orders Boon after that this be done and without a word, left the store. He went direct to his home on Pontotock street, reaching there about 6 o'clock. Climbing over the rear fence he entered the house by the back door and went to his room. Here he undressed, and, tak? ing a Winchester rifle from its place over the fire place, went to the bath room where he shot himself. No member of Hill's family was at home and the ser? vants did not hear the shot. Hill's body was found cold by a member of the fam ly who returned for dinner. He was 32 years old, prominent in society, and a nephew of ex-Post Master General Vilas. Louisville, Ky., May 22.?The story of a brutal, ravishing murder and swift vengeance on the murderers comes from Sandy Hook, a mountain town near Ash? land, in eastern Kentucky. Near Sandy Hook Maud Fleener died recently from being thrown by her horse and ravished by John and George Wilcox, brothers, who had been her suitors. She had promised to marry Amos Queen, who had met her while she was teaching school near Sandy Hook, and about three weeks ago started to visit a friend near where she had taught. The Wilcoxes were passing the road she traveled, saw her coming, hid in the bushes and scared her horse. The horse ran away. She was thrown and had both legs broken. The Wilcoxes picked her up unconscious, revived her, drew straws as to which she should be compelled to marry, bore her to a cabin, and demanded that she marry John, to whose lot she fell. She refused, and fainted. They tried to set her legs, and kept her a prisoner in the cabin. When found by her brother and affiancee, she said the Wilcoxes did it, and died soon afterward. Examination showed that she had been chained to the cabin wall, and bad also been outraged. The Wilcoxes were captured and confessed, whereupon they were shot to death by the brother and lover. They explained in their confession that they chained the girl because she had attempted to escape. Miss Fleener was the daughter of a prominent eitizen of Richmond, Va., who moved to Sandy Hook some years ago and died there. She was only twen? ty-one years old, a Church member and a Sunday School teacher. It Will Fly Ninety Miles an Hour, Washington, D. C, May 19.?Hiram J. Maxim, one of tbe Americans who makes guns in Europe because he can get a better market for them there, is just now working out a flying machine with which he proposes to revolutionize methods of warfare. Mr. Maxim is in Washington, and to-day talked upon his plans for a flying machine. "If I can rise from the coa9t of France," he said, "sail through the air across the channel and drop half a ton of nitro-glycerine upon an English city I can revolutionize the world. I believe I can do it if I live long enough. If I die some one will come after me who will be successful where I failed." Mr. Maxim has built at bis workshop near Kent, England, a small flying ma? chine, with a wooden screw as its motive power. The screw revolves all the way from 1,500 to 2,800 revolutions per min? ute. _ ? "People down in Maine," the Boston Herald reports, "are pulling hairs out of one anothers heads, and also out of hor? ses' tails. When a hair is secured it is used to suspend a gold ring over half a glass of cold water. In a minute or two the ring begins to swing back and forth, and does not stop until it has hit the side of the glass as many times as the original owner of the hair is years old. Several who have tried it declare that it never fails." South Carolina Bible Association. ThiB body will meet in the Washington Street Methodist Church, Columbia, on Thursday, June 11th, at 8.15 p. m, The annual address will be delivered by the Rev, Dr. William Grier, President of the Association and of Erskine College, on Thursday evening.

The Executive Committee of the State Teachers' Association have decided to hold tbe next meeting of the Association, in Anderson July 22nd, 23rd and 24tb.

Every "live" teacher should be a member of the Association. Friends of education are eligible for membership, D, B. Johnson, Chairman Executive Committee. ? It has been reckoned that if the whole ocean were dried up, all the water passing away as vapor, the amount of salt remaining would be enough to cover 5,000,000 square miles with a layer ona mile thick. The entering wedge of a complaint that may prove fatal is often a slight oold, which a dose or two of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral might have cured at the com? mencement. It would be well, therefore, to keep this remedy within reach at all times. A. C. STRICKLAND. J. P. ANDERSON, Strickland & Anderson, ZDIEILsTTISTS. OFFICE IN MASONIC TEMPLE.

HERE'S THE STORY IN A NUT SHELL! ON the night of May 7th, just as the clock struck twelve, the agonizing cries of an old man in death were heard near the TEN CENT STORE. We soon learned that it was Old Man Price dying from a stab in the heart. His old enemy had tried swords with him, and succeeded in drawing his heart's blood. The deed was done by the same man who killed Price's eldest son two years ago. Old Mr. Price was a Tery good old man in his way, but his name has been abused by his children; for it must be remembered that Mr. High Price commit? ted various depredations in his time on the unsus pe?ting public. But now the old original Price him* ?elf is gons, and who did it ? Why, the indefatigable O. S. MINOR AND THE TEN CENT STORE, who are always in the ring for the people. But this time they are fighting for themselves. They've struck a knot, and can't saw through. They need the scads, and thty must have them. Vei, they have determined that competition shall die the same death that the Messrs. Price. Or if not this, starva? tion is his lot. They begin today putting? Big Goods at Little Figures, without coniideration of Price. Yours, hard run for money, C. S. MINOR and TEN CENT STOKE. P.
