JBAY MARCH 17, U92 TERMS: IE YEAR... $1 50 MONTHS.. 75 >?BSP:> AND THE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE. firs ago our State was committed to alioy of establishing and fostering itions of learning for the education rtnale youth, both white and black; at this wight be done successfully and money has been expended j;an eye single to the promotion of u\ so that the educational depart oT our government has assumed [.dimensions, and consequently has wed princely, almost extravagant ?priations from the public Treasu instance, the late Legislature made lowing appropriations- for the edu ijal department of the. government: jo support, of tbe schools in the jb Carolina College at Columbia, thir lousand dollars; for insurance, re improvements, library*, etc, eleven id'rive hundred dollars more; for |n-.College/Omngeburg. (for negro j five thousand dollars; for the sup of the beneficiary cadets at the Cita,' Lcademy, twenty thousand dollarn. it will be seen the last Legis appropriated . ?66,500 to these ^institutions for this year?all for the ion of boys. Besides these, the >n Agricultural College, for boys a, 'is to receive/ the proceeds arising 'certain taxes, ainoRnting to not less $75,000, we suppose. As against all |;for tho boys ?5,250. was appropriated be trainingof young women (already in the "Winthrop Training 33, that they might become more fnl teachers. The State has spent i or more per annum for the educa ebf her boys, but not one cent for the ition of her girls. i palpable injustice of this has pro a sentiment in the State that favor is establishment of a State ednca Jial institution for girls.- This senn? it was ahaped in to law at the lastsit jf of the. Legislature, and provides for Allege for women that will give in? action in both literary and industrial aches. fee-Act^estabiJshlng the College says: lere shall be established an institution |i?be practical training and higher edu of white girls, as a branch of i-SIato. University, which shall be . /n as The South Carolina Industrial Wfcthrop-Norraal College," etc. ( provides for a Board of Tr ustees ^slist'ihg of thirteen members, two of Sm <sdjall be elected from the place the College is located. The Gover "(.& the Stab will be Chai rman of the vd, . .. le scope of work contemplated for the is as follows: "The establish : conduct and mainteEBnceof a first [institution for tbe thorough educa i;of tho white girls of South Carolina, ? maiu objects of which shall be (1) to "i io young women such education as ', r.i them for teaching; (2) to give In? action to young women in stonogra %i'.toie-vriting, telegraphy, book 2ping,drawing, (free-hand,mechanical, ihltectural, etc.,) designing, engraving, fing, dross-raakiug, millinery, art le-work, cooki ug, housekeeping, nnd oh other industrial arts as may bo suit lo, to their sex and conducive to their arid-usefulness." "No girl shall ^?llowe^ to take a course in said insti ion who does not receive instruction pit least one industrial art." is Act further provides that, the lo ion having been determined, "when site is selected, they (the Trustees) ?n, . as soon as possible, erect suitable lings for: said institution, and pro i and place in the same !;he necessary gu&jnery, power, fixtures, furniture, lent,..-appliances and apparatus iCHvxy into effect the/intention of this et; provided, said grounds, buildings equipment shall be secured without pause to the State." The Act accepts i offer.of the Trustees of the Winthrop ling School to turn that institution )r to the State, and merges it into the inthrop Normal College. Scholarships this department will be awarded on ?potitive examination, to two young lies from each County wo suppose, as i was the number formerly receiving jj^tersjrips. lejAct takes effect and is in full force >m the.day of its passage. \ [h accordance irith tho provisions of ioAci the Board of Trustees met in Co imbia on Wednesday of last week to de rmine ou a location for the College. The :' -of Anderson offered the Board of istees the sum of ?75,000 as an induce &at to locate- the College in this city. Iis offer was the largest made, and An soa was voted tbe institution. At ice.Auderson becomes prominent as an tucstionat centre. Her pluck (not luck, f&ho-Stdte terms it,) captured the prize jwards which every city and County in ? State was casting wistful looks. the 14th of next month the Trustees le here to determine on a site for IB College. As soon as that is done, and xecity has made g >od her offer, there is jto reason why the work of erecting tbe necessary buildings should notgosteatlily pard. The wisdom of Anderson City 75,000 to secure this College may went to all at present, but we ipubt noTtt^at as time advances the wis lera of such a policy will be vindicated. 'S^Eate cannot afford to appropriate a sum for this, her only College for she does for the College for STumbia. Supposing that they re to be treated equally at the hands of je State this College may confidently rpect an appropriation of not less than 1,500. annually. Would not that sum loose here each year infuse much >w blood into old ?'eins ? Whatchannel business will not imbide freely of this iutiay ? We are informed that this institution /ill likely, receive a donation of soine Dg like ?500,000 from what is known the Pealjody fund in about tbejrear IG, and that the generous founder of the Winthrop Training School has intimated ,t ho will present a gift" of $275,000 to College at an early day. Should such rye true the College will be handsome lowed' and the State relieved of the slty of supporting it. i College is coming here. It behooves "citizens to use what influence they to .help, make it a success and fiither rne objects for which it hi es abllshed.' . _ Can you appreciate how much money 55,000,000'is? If so, you know how ;h' tho pensioners, who live almost :clusively North of Mason & Dickson's Iriej will draw from the TJ. S. Treasury luring the coming year. Of that sum >uth Carolina pays about ?3,000,000v or Ibout $3.00 for every man, woman und Jpd; in the State. This is a continual ffflin npon our resources, and perhaps ojie-per cent, of it ever finds its way ;..hore. Tliat is- what Republicanism done for the country. We may think ?o hsve cause for complaint within the jite, but the burien3 bearing heaviest ns are.those i nflicted by a Republi jPederal government. Nothing less a\a unitedDemocracy can ever bring >na ?nder the cpraeof these evils. TUESDAY'S MASS MEETING. ' Tuesday of next week is the day on which tbe meeting of the citizens of the County who desire to participate in the election of delegates to the peace and uni? ty Convention takes place. Every voter who wishes a reform in our present Stale government is invited to be present and take part in tbe meeting. ; This peace and unity Convention, which will meet in Columbia on Thurs? day of the same week, will work strictly within the lines of the Democratic party, as tbe call asserts. It will take steps to secure a direct primary for the voters of tbe State. Surely all Democrats can unite in demanding this. Governor Tillman demanded it, until he secured office. He faithfully promised that if he was elect? ed he would use his influence to secure this privilege to the voters. He deceived the people in that, and he and his lieuten? ants have schemed to prevent intelligent men from voting directly for th6ir ru!ers and officers. Let every man who is really in favor of tbe utter annihilation of ring rule, wheth? er by the past or preseut regime, come boldly forward and demand the direct primary. Let the citizens of this State assert tbeir manhood and say to any man or men, or politician or set of politicians, that tbeir will alone is supreme in this matter, and that henceforth thoy propose to nominate candidates directly, and dis? pense with the manipulations and wire? pullings heretofore characterizing our Nominating Conventions. The will of the people is frequently disregarded in Conventions. There are notorious instances of this in both Na? tional and Stau? politics. We proudly boast that our government is a govern? ment by the people, yet the peoplo are commanded to vote for some one to go . away to Columbia to vote for them. It is time to quit electing our State officers in a Convention Hall, or rather in some private office, in Columbia. We want,' and will heartily support, the Governor elected alloverSouth Carolina by the people. Such a Governor will command and will receive the respect and co-operation of every patriotic Caroli? nian. There can be no bolting then. Who would be foolish enough to bolt the peo? ple? It is only a party or a faction that is ever bolted. Now is the time for onr people to work for a privilege they have never yet enjoy? ed?a direct voice in tbe nomination of their officers. With a direct primary, a free ballot and a fair count, every man will support the party's nominees, and would be in honor bound so to do. Only those who wish to defeat the will cf the people, or who are afraid to go before the people on their merits, oppose^nch a primary. Shall tbe people submit to the imperious dictation of such a set? Let every man who wants our govern? ment'to be a government of tbe people and for the people and by tbe people at? tend Tuesday's meeting. Dr. J. W. Stokes, President of the State Alliance,' thinks tbe way to reach harmo? ny in State politics is to have a primary election for State officers. Let ua have the primary this year. Keeley's alleged cure for drunkenness is gaining friends. It is said that an English syndicate has paid $5,000,000 for the right to use it in Great Britain and, Ireland._ The Attorney General, to whom the matter was referred, has decided that the office of County Commissioners is to be voted for at the elections this year as heretofore, until some change is made by the" Legislature. ' Oh tbe 9th and 10th inst. the Northwest experienced one of the severest storms or blizzards it has had in years. Rail? roads were blockaded with snow, much property was damaged and many poople frozen to death. In an interview with a represen? tative of the National Democrat, Col. L. L. Polk, president of the National Alli? ance, has declared unequivocally for the Third Party movement. He said that he expected to be nominated for Vice President at the Convention in July. A few days ago Congressman McMillin, of the Ways and Means Committee, opened for the Democrats against the McKinley Tariff Bill. His speech was an able one, full of the logic of facts and tbe eloquenc&of the truth about the worst system of wholesale robbery ever devis? ed by fraudulent ingenuity. The cam? paign of 1892 bos begun in earnest. -. At 10 o'clock last Monday morning the roof of the main building of tbe Citadel Academy in Charleston was discovered in flames. The flame? wore soon under control, bnt the second and third stories of tbe building were badly damaged. The property was insured. The origin of the fire is unknown. There will be no interruption in the studies, and tbe building will bo promptly repaired. The World's Fair at Chicago ought to be a success, if money can make it so. Thir? ty-nine nations and twenty-four colonies have prepared to make exhibits, and the money already "in sight" from various sources to be expended on buildings and exhibits exceeds $25,000,000, without counting the expenditures of individuals or the $5,000,000 which tbe National Government.is soon to be asked to con? tribute._ Judging from a call published in anoth? er column the peace and harmony Con? vention seems to have a good many sym? pathizers in Anderson County. The petition, we understand, was not circulated until last Monday, and did not reach many sections of the Coun? ty, and the residents of the city were not given an opportunity to sign the petition. For want of space we are unable to pub? lish all of the signatures to the petition, and we feel safe in saying had the petition been circulated ten days ago the signa? tures of at least one thousand farmers of Anderson County could have been secur? ed. Read the list of names published and yon will find that they are true Demo? crats and among the best, citizens of the County._ Our cigarette smokers will be interest? ed in learning that Congress is making an effort to suppress the manufacture of cig? arettes, a law that every person ought to encourage. The bill to be introduced will impose a revenue tax of 810 on evory 8,000 cigarettes manufactured. One of the petitioners to Congress files this state? ment: "Clippings taken irom papers throughout the United .States show that during the past year thero have been 100 deaths of young men, mostly under 1G years of age, from tbe effects of smoking paper-wrapped cigarettes. In some cases there have been analyses of the stomach, and in most instances there have been found phosphorus and arsenic, which is largely used in the manufacture of cigar? ette paper. About 100 men have been consigned to insane asylums for the same cause." mmmmm?mmmmmmmmm?mmmmmmmmm ? A curious marriage took place in Jackson, Mich., a few days ago. A young laborer heard that a Mrs. Bentley, aged seventy, who was stopping at a hotel in the city, would give any man 8100 to marry her and not expect him to live with her. Ho applied for the job, was duly married, took his $100 and went about his business. Mrs. Bentley ex Elained that, according to her deceased usband's will, his property, in cose of her marrying again, reverted to her son, otherwise it would be divided at her death among a great many belts, and that the marriage was simply to secure it all for her son.?New. Orleans Ptcay THAT MASS MEETING. Messrs. Editors: Believing that the interests of all classes of our citizens re? quire a restoration of unity in the Demo? cratic party, and confidence and harmo? nious action on the part of all good citi? zens of our State, we desire to indorso the call for a mass meeting of-those Demo? crats in this County who desire to restore such unity aud harmony to assemble in the Court House in Anderson on Tues? day, tho 22nd inst., at 11 o'clock a. m., for tho purpose- of consulting together and electing delegates to the Convention called to meet in Columbia on the 24th inst., to formulate a policy and suggest a ticket for State officers to secure such re? sult. We feel that tho present is an im? portant crisis in our State's prosperity, and view with gravo apprehension tho increasing contentions which are distract? ing and dividing our people, and beliove that these troubles can be remedied by the people conferring together and de? manding a conservative and fair admin? istration of our State government. Thero has never before been such a financial condition confronting us. Neighbors have boen arrayed against neighbors, friends against friends, and public confi? dence destroyod. Tho people have re? ceived no benefits from this condition of things, and thousands of our fellow citizens are suffering from a financial dis? tress caused in large measure by this arraying of class against class. The State debt, which matures next year, ought to be refunded at a lower rate of interest, so as to save at least ono mill of taxes every year for the next fifty years, and it is now apparent that this cannot be done with the government as at present con? stituted. It is our wish to see prosperi? ty return to our State, to see men of con? servative character, with experience and unquestioned integrity, placed in all pub? lic positions, and to seo the government controlled by the people, without dicta? tion or unnecessary restriction. We be? lieve that a free and candid consultation and conference of tbe people with one another can bring about this desired change in our political condition, and hence we unite in calling for tho mass meeting stated.

For a week my shepherd dog had been wander? ing from home. When I would meet him he returned with apparent pleasure aud was exceedingly affectionate, but ueemed restl&js and uneasy. On Friday morning, the 11th, I found bim six miles from home. He immediately followed after my cart, and en route home he attacked with fury and bit two dogs, one at S. A. Jones' aud the other at Barrett's school. I fed him at dinner and he ate very little. Seemed weak in his loins. X viniied a patient in tbe evening and the dog at? tempted to follow me. I had him confined in the house. During my absence my wife noticed bis strange actions, a wild Btare, restless aud discordant howl, Ac I returned after fl'tnsct. Ho met mo in the yard, and I was then impressod for the first time with the peculiar horrid expres? sion of his eyes. I scolded and he went under the honHP. I intended to see him later. My wife being in the back yard, however, noticed his strange behavior, and, assisted by a negro woman, threw a chicken coop over him. After securing him, I intended to await developments'. Next day (Saturday) I studied his case critically and decided, beyond question, that he bad rabies (drooping jaw, flowing saliva, congestive expression, a disposi? tion to snap at imaginary objects, restless, &c.) That conclusion arrived at, I de? stroyed him at once. James Low, F. R. C. V., says it is a delusion to suppose that mad dogs have a dread of water, that they will not eat or drink, that they froth abundantly from the mouth, and that they run with droop? ing tail, that there is no hydrophobia in dogs or other domestic animals. The rabid dogs drink freely in the early stages of the disease. Later be will lap and even plunge bis nose in water, though often unable to swallow, aud in his wander? ings he swims rivers without reluctance, the appetite is not entirely lost, though freatly impaired and usuailv depraved, 'rothing at the mouth is exceptional. R. G. W. Holland's Store, March, U. Mr, Murray's Position. Messrs. Editors : In tho People* Ad? vocate of this week the editor criticises a reply of mine to questions from tbe State as to the powers of the Convention to as? semble iu March in Columbia because I eaid that the Convention would bo "sov? ereign." In tho same card I said that "only Democrats who propose to act with tho party are invited to send delegated," und that "upou the acceptability of tho platform and nominees of this Convention will depend the success or failure of tho movement." The Advocate says: "(he rest are not clear and in fact Ma j. Mur? ray's statement that 'The Convention will tie sovereign'would seem to im ply that this Convention would bo the highest Democratic authority in the State," and again "wo heartily wish this languago had been less ambiguous, corning as it does from a gentleman (meaning mo) who has in tho past loudly proclaimed the necessity of party 103'alty, and de? nounced in unmeasured terms anything that smacks of independentism." Lest some person may be deceived by be insinuation of disloy dty to the Dom .xiratie party made in this article against .no I would only say that the article of ?vhich the Advocate complains was sirn nly my opinion of what that Convention ;onld do and not what it ought tn do. It is called to devise a platform" and sngge&t lominees to restore harmony in the Dem? ocratic party, but it may when it meets efuse to go with tho thirteen who railed t and decline to nominate, or it might take an entirely different course from my suggested. It will, if full, be com? posed of over three hundred delegates. ,\nd tho majority will rule. It has no constitution, and hence there is no limit mitsuction. If it takes action to which the minority are unwilling to submit they can withdraw, but could not chaugo :he action of the Convention. .Having this power and being unlimited by Con? stitution it is sovereign. Now, as to tho danger of extreme ac? tion I have no fear, for it will be a con? servative gathering of Democrats who do sire tho good and unity of-the party, not its disruption. As to my personal views and intentions I defined them clearly and so distinctly that a man with the least in? telligence cannot mistake it when, as one of tbe thirteen signers of the call for this Convention over my own signature, with the others we said, "We pledge ourselves and those who think and act with us to abide faithfully tho decision of the State Democratic Convention, to make this fight for good government, the freedom of legislation, the independence of tbe ju? diciary and the liberty of the people with? in the party lines, but to make it earnest? ly, courageously and persistently in every township of every County of the State." Now, I did not repeat this in the card of which the Advocatc complains bocause I was not speaking of myself, but giving my opinion of a parliamentary question as to the powers of a Convention by tele? graph which prevented any extensive amplification. No man can truthfully, by word or by implication, array me in opposition to the great Democratic party. Tho fact that the editor of the Advocate does not under? stand my position makes very little dif? ference. It is not my fault that be caunot sufficiently entertain two ideas at the same time, to separate a man's personal position in politics from his judgment of parlia? mentary law as governing a body of men voluntarily assembling together. As Judge Orr once said, "I can give a man the facts, but I cannot give him the brains to understand them.'* E. B. MURRAY. Clcmson and Claflin. Washington-, D. C, March 10.?The conflict between the governor of South Carolina and Secretary Noble about the distribution of tbe agricultural school fund has at last been settled. The Presi? dent of Claflin College (colored,) who has been here for several days looking after tho matter, called to-day^ with Congress? man Tillman, on the Commissioner of Educatiou, and, after talking over too matter thoy agreed to have the fund equally divided between the white and negro agricultural colleges. Each school will receive ?24,000. Good for Anderson. We congratulate both the friends of the Women's Industrial and Normal College and the people of Ahdersou that the Col? lege is to be located in that attractive and enterprising town. The friends of the college are to bo con? gratulated because the institution is to bo established in tbe placo where it is most appreciated, and where the appreciation j has been manifestrd in so substantial a I form. The corporation gives?75,000 with . the "authorized assurance from private i citizens of a suitable site" besides, which \ will serve to establish tbe institution on ; a strong foundation at once. The people of Anderson are to be con j gratulated because they have not only : won a prize that is valuable in itself, but i have won it, in an open contest, from a ; number of larger and richer places?out? bidding tbe Capital of the State on the one 3ido and the always liberal and pro? gressive city of Greenville on tho other. It was a notable victory, and was fairlj won by virtue of the greater liberality and public spirit of the winner, Our friends in Anderson deserve all credit for their successs, and they will never have cause to regret it, we are sure. In a business point of view the gift of ?75,000 was a good investment, as it will repay itself when tho college is established, while from the educational, social and industrial points of vie// the benefits of the College to the town and County cannot be well overestimated.? News and Courier. ? Ina recent lecture before the New York Electrical societj', at Columbia College, A. A. Knudson made an actual demonstration of many of the frauds per? petrated in alleged "electric" and "mag? netic" specialties, such as hair brushes, belts, suspenders, corsets, garters, rings and tbe like. Mr. Knudson dissected before his audience one of the most large? ly advertised magnetic hair brushes, showing imbedded in its back a coiled steel wire from which healing virtue was supposed to proceed. "I havo yot to learn," said he, "tho first case whero magnetism, eithor strong or weak, has produced any effect, either beneficial or detrimental, upon the human system. Night after night for months I have been in tbe presence of the most powerful dy? namos?as have thousands of men iu the many electric light stations all over the world?where magnetism of the strongest kind permeates every bone and fibre and tissuo of the body, and yet, so far as any effect, either good or bad, on tho system goes, one would 11 over know he had been in the magnetic field. To tho best of my knowledge and belief, there isabsolntely nothing in the human anatomy that can be acted upon by a magnet." Now try This.
