Professor '?? E. Waterhouse, of Washington Univr; ^c^ityv:. St. Louis, says, in a recent paper, that the material is almost indestructible v froaxwear. In China, where it is woven intqcloth, children are often seen clothed - in garments handad down by their qiaud I; parents. The fiber is very long; very '. strong and lias somewhat the sheen and fluster of silk. It is claimed that by a *\ recently invented machine, the manufao ? ture of the fiber, from the stalks will be ^ dono very cheaply and that it will be J largely used in making cloth. : We do not care who is Governor, just' do'he isa good man. There are many " good men in the reform ranks who are VinWrested lo.the upbuilding of the State, ; r?d- ;who do not depend on office for as living?men who are In politics, not as a - matter-of money making, but lor the V ?o?d of the State. They can not hurt the ^ State without hurting themselves, and ; men are generally unwilling to do that. I; Wijy not give os a man like this ? Sev? eralof the candidates for Governor are t euoh; We would name them, but, '-' strange as it may seem, it is said that If we advocate, any one of them, it would tarn some people against such a one. Give us a man who has something at v Stake more-than the pay he receives, and whq, is able to do right regardless of v political affiliation, and wo believe there wiCKbe peace. The meeting called to meet In the Court House last Monday-to consider the . - question of Graded Schools for Anderson ' was'weil attended. It was called to order I by Mr. J. M. Sullivan, and J. W. Quat tlebaum, Esq., was asked to act as Secre? tary. Resolutions were adopted favoring the early establishment of a graded school Bystem for Anderson. A Com? mittee was appointed to look into the . plans of the different graded schools of; the country conjointly with a similar Committee which the City Council was j requested to appoint, and devise a plan for adoption by our people. There /are. people in Anderson who differ ? ' widely on this question, and we would ; ba glad to havj the advantages and dis? advantages set before our people. For this , purpose we tender our columns. : - Let--us settle our differences on vth is im? portant question before we decide finally what we will do, and when a decision is - reached let us go into it heartily and .united. There is a great deal of nonsensical talk indulged in these days about protection to the sheep raising lnd ustry by means of a protected tariff, says the Wilmington, N. C, Morning Stxr. There isn't much of that kind of talk in the South, although there is some. Sensible people in the ' South know th.it they could raise wool If ] ? they wanted to without a protective tariff : and that isn't what they need, but pro? tection against the packs of dogs that lay in wait for the sheep and destroy them. If it was not for the dogs North Carolina could be one of the greatest sheep-raising States this aide of Texas. There is not a -weekly exchange that we read that does not Jrom time to time record the ravages done by dogs. In one night a couple of j weeks ago a farmer near Windsor, Bertie county, lost thirty-five fine sheep by dogs?dogs, according to the local paper, "owned by negroes." 'There was a dog klliing shortly after that, but that didn't restore the farmer his sheep or pay him . for the loss of them. Sheep culture could ; be a great industry with us if we could reduce the number of dogs by about 90 per can t - . The campaign during the last week has not been so bitter. We axe glad to see the change. Our people should demand of the candida tes a higher plane, or re? pudiate the last one of them. There is no reason why the people should not have a fair discussion of the issues of the day instead of a fuss. Both candidates for the United States Senate are on the same platform substantially. The State candi? dates all belong .to the same political faith, if not to the same ring. The Con? servatives are not in it, and are having nothing to do with it Senator Evans . seems to have the crowds with him, but it is claimed by the friends of Gen. Eilerbe that he is fast gaining ground, aid that his friends belong to that ele? ment who want peace, and do not make njuch fuss at a political gathering. Sena? tor Evans-has the advantage of General Eilerbe in that he is a lawyer, and can make a good speech, while the latter is a -firmer, untrained in the science of ora? tory. Dr. Pope's proposition seerano be fiir, but meets with little favor. Mr. Tindall is too Conservative. He can never.be elected without abusing Judge Haskell and the anties generally. We would say something about our idea of j the man that should be elected, but some say it won't do, for the pecple will take fast the opposite of what we sugjest. However, why can not the people give us a THlmanite like our own County man, D. K. Norrisf Why not repudiate every very extreme man, and elect one who Will be just between the people without regard to factions 7 Can't we hope for peace ever? Are we always to be divid? ed? The Conservatives seem willing io make more than half of the concessiocs pecessary to "rjeace and unity." I Leiter from Ttxas. Editors Iktelmgencer : Perhaps a lew dots from Qrayson County, Texas, which is called by some "the Eden of the best State in the Union," may be of in? terest to some of your readers. If you could Bee the growing crop, I have no doubt but you would aoknowledgo It to be the Eden for farmers. Wheat and oats are already harvested, and will yield fTom 25 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, and oats from 75 to 100 bushels per acre. This is not on little pet patches, but on 40 and 50 acre fields, without any fertili? zers whatever, being applied. ? The harvesting is all done by reapers and mowers, combined with a bundle carrier that throws off ton or twelve bun? dles In a place ready to be shocked. So that not much band labor has to be em? ployed In harvesting these heavy crops. As these crops are threshed a great deal of it is sacked and hauled off Immediately to the nearest railroad town where it is sold. -Every town of any size has grain buyers jnsc as we have cotton buyers In South Carolina, and a farmer can sell any amount of wheat, ? oats, or corn for the cash. Nearly every town has fine Roller Mills, where the wheat Is ground into the beat of flour before being shipped. At the present writing, June 25th, the core crop promises to be tho heaviest it has been for'years?or about 75 bushels Sr acre. You could not wonder at the imense yield expected if you could oee how thick it stands on this rich soil, and how glassy and green It looks. The rows are only 3} feet spart; with stalks stand? ing in the drill from 18 to 24 inches apart, and nearly every stalk contains two shoots and some three. They do not strip the fodder here as they say it injures the corn. Cotton, looks fine, and is now blooming. The yield here is from a half to one 500 pound bale per acre. Last year with a drouth from the 13th June till October they made 30 bushels of corn per acre and a half bale of cotton. What Impresses me most la the ease, or the little labor with which these crops are mad 3. The land is black, waxy loam, and mostly rolling prairie, and the culti? vating is done with improved farming implements, such as the cultivator and disk harrow. The hoe is nsed but little except to thin the crops, us they have no ? crab grass to contend- with. One man I with the improved farming implements used here cen cultivate from 40 to 50 acres by having a little extra help in hoeing and thinninghis crop the drat time. Anything that can be grown in upper South Carolina can be grown here in perfection, such as barley, rye, millet, sweet and Irish potatoes, field peas, and all garden vegetables, and all kind of fruit except apples, which do not attain the size and perfection they do further North. This rich land rates high, ail the way from ?15.00 to 860.00 per aore for im? proved land, and there la not mjich^bere now thatJa^npi_4BQ^F0Wd^ There was so me.-large cattle or stock ranches con? taining from 20 to 30,000 acres of. land, out this rich soil is in so much demand for agricultural purposes that the owners are selling some of their pasture lands now at ?15.00 to ?20.00 per acre. Mr. John Bo wen with his good lady came round one afternoon with his nice phaeton and gentle span of horses and carried us out ten miles west of hereto see those ranches with their thousands head of horses and an many cattle, We rode through the loveliest country mine eyes ever beheld. The timber here is all on the sti earns or in the valleys, and when on the crest of ono of those high rolling prairies we could see for miles great fields of golden grain then standing, and forests of dark and glossy corn toss? ing its green lances in the breeze, and acres upon acres of cotton beginning to form its squares, while flowers of all shapes and colors grew along tbe road? side and In the past urea. Flowers whose beauty and fragrance would put to shame many hot house plants. Mr. John Bowen, one of onr best neighbors and most substantial citizens, came here with his father from Piokens County, South Carolina, in 1843. when this great County of968 8quare miles only contained three houses. Now it is more thickly settled than Anderson County. It has two cities, Denisonand Sherman, which are as large as Greenville, S. C, besides a ?toots of other smaller town>, and has for. r lines of railroad within her borders. There is plenty of timber here for all purposes except building. Lumber for that purpose is shipped here in great quantities from eastern Texas and Arkan? sas, and must be cheap from the number of nice framed dwellings with all neces? sary outbuildings. The County is well watered with streams and wells, but in protracted droughts (which seldom occur now) some of the smaller streams and wells go dry?then some of them have to haul water add put in their wells, where it keeps pure and as cool as in our wells at home. The water is mostly limestone, but-whan one gets accustomed to it thoy , dike it as well as they do tte freestone I water. The health of this country will com? pare favorably with any place, as the robust looks of the people, and the many old persons living here will attest, yet, some do get sick and die here as they do elsewhere. You will hear occasionally of some one chilling, but they do not seem to mind it no more than'we do a bad cold. Will have a chill one day and work tbe next and go to a parly that j night. The people here certainly enjoy life as well or better than any place I ever knew, for this reason, they do not have .to work so hard and unceasingly to make a living. My lot has never bct>n cast with a more intelligent, cultered people, nor more kind and generous neighbors. They have made my sojourn among them so pleasant I shall always remember them gratefully. J. M. B. Letter from Arkansas. Dardan elle, Abs., June 26,189-1. Messrs Editors: After having been silent for a time, I will proceed to write you a~ short letter, giving yon as best I can, a few dots from Arkansas. I am liv? ing in Dardanelle and am well pleased. This is a quiet town situated on the west bank of tbe Arkansas River, which Is noted for its peace and quietude, morrall ty. etc. Not only that, but tbe socia? bility of tbe people thU live here. I! think that this is a far better country for a poor man than South Carolina?that the people seem to be more on an equality than in onr country. Tbe- population of the aforesaid town I do not exactly know, something near three thousand I think. We have no railroad coming into Dardanele only to the river on the oppo? site side, which is just a branch of four miles springing off from the main road from Little Rock to Fort Smith. The river proves to be a- very great auxiliary to the commercial men of this place. Said stream is not navigable tbe year round, but boats are coming in alright op to date. Wehavn't much mud in town, but sand?oh, my I The sand is almost knee deep now in the streets in some places. We have had almost a regular sand storm here for the last two days. At times a person could scarcely see bis way. The flying sand has tor? mented me to-day until to-night. I al? most feel that I am the grittiest man in town. This is not the case every day, however, but only once in a long while. The crops here ore generally good but are needing rain some for corn in places. We have bad some local showers recent? ly, but nothing like a good general rain. Now I've given you a scattered synopsis of Dardanelle and some few thing per? taining thereto. But now passing from Dardanelle and going west four miles, you are confronted by one of the most beautiful mountains that a person ever beheld. This moun? tain is known as "Nebo." It is some? thing near seventeen hundred feet higher than tbe surronnding country. This mountain is small, comparatively speak? ing, but it is tall~ and perfectly level on top. This is one of the most desirable summer resorts in the State; a great! many of the Dardanelle people go there and stay during summer. We have poo Ele from St. Louis, Memphis, Fort Smith, little Rock and various other places which I might mention, that stay there during the hot summer. There is quite a large hotel on tho sum mit of this moun? tain which affords accommodations for a goodly number of our visitors. On last Sunday Messrs, Welch, Leaser, my wife and myself paid the aforesaid place a visit, we bad quite an enjoya ble time. We visited a lady by tbe name of Smiley. She used to live in South Carolina. I find a great many people here of our country. I think that thero is tbe best water on Nebo that I have tasted in my life. The atmosphere up there is cool and stimulating most all the time. A person can sleep comfortably under a blanket any night in the summer. Now I might go on and write a grejt deel more which would be of interest, but for want of time and space I'll fust give you s short sketch. All along tho Arkansas River, on either side, for miles above and below Dardanelle tbe land is very fertile. Jt will produce from 25 to 125 bushels of | corn, and from ? to 1} bales of cotton per acre if we have anything like a season. Corn, cotton, peas, potatoes, melons and frnit is our principal crops. Fruit is cut short this year. Yours truly, T. H. Cooper. -r The following bill is posted in large letters at the door of a theatre In Brus? sels: "Moral pieces every Sunday and Thursday." " ' ' A Wasted Campaign. Coltmhia, S. C, Jaly 1.?TLe political situation in South Carolina just now, at the end of the first fortnight of the State campaign, seems to bo practically un? changed despite the fact that there has been so much speaking pro and con. I have talked with a great many of those who have been accompanying the cam? paigners about the State, and they prac? tically all agree in the main points of their opinion. It can be safely said that up to date the campnlgn has neon a use? less expense to all concerned, that it has not changed a single vote, with the ex? ception perhaps of the Gubernatorial race. In this race I am told that Evans and EU erbe are carrying their fight too far to please the Reformers, and that there is danger of both disgusting the audience. Dr. Pope, they consider, has flown oiFat a tangont and is charging Reform cor? ruption. There is a quiet smile at these charges of the Doctor. In the meantime Mr. Tindal is not varying his Sunday Sohool-Alliance philosophy plan of cam? paign and seems to be making a good impression. While nothing is being beard of that oft rumored candidacy of "Uncle'' George Till man no one here? abouts now thinks that Mr. Tillman will consent to enter the race at this late day. 'Quite a sensation has been caused in political circles here by an editorial pub? lication in the local Reform organ. If it is followed up by Ellerbe on the stump it is liable to make the Gubernatorial canvass during this week exceedingly lively, and may result in considerable injury to the chanoes of John Gary Evans. The article referred to begins thus: "Senator John Gary Evans made a statement at the Florence meeting which is false?and he knew it was false when he made it" After referring to the cir? cumstances leading up to Mr. Evans's statement that they had to "buy the organ out" the editorial concludes: "Senator Evans has seen fit to charge that the Megisier was bought. We demand that he prove this charge or stand con-' victed as a slanderer. This Is all we have to Bay at present, but Senator Evans mast either prove or retract his assertions. Theie is no middle ground." Mr. Evans's assertion was a pretty clear cnt one and was no doubt called forth by the fact that the organ has been fighting against him in behalf of Ellerbe. It will be. interesting in consequence of this to watch the meetings this week. In regard to the Senatorial tight I hear a great deal of talk. No one seems to think that a vote has been changed. Tboy seem to consider Governor Tin? man's election over Senator Butler as a foregone conclusion, and gives all kinds of reasons. Since the Chester and Lan? caster meeting the Senatorial fight has been of very little interest, excepting, of course, the introduction of Senator But? ler's attack on the management^-tlie jdjspen8ary_ f>pd^ <^>Ye?aor- r Ti'ilman's "repiy~sto~ihe questions propounded by him. From what I can hear, however, it appears that this plain sailing is not going to last very long. It is a kind of armed truce now and at any moment the kind of warfare started et the meetings referred to is liable to commence again. I hear rumors which indicate thst a few things quite sensational In nature are liable to be sprung before the campaign foes much further. Whether they will e or not remains to be Been. One can only wait and see. Governor Tillman seems to be waiting every instant for the attack to be made by his opponent, and is evidently anting on the defensive ail the way through. I am told by those who have accompanied the campaigners ever since the start that there has been no sign of any real trouble at any of the meetings since the meeting at Chester. I seems that the campaigners are doing a good deal of the old time ante-bellum style of traveling this year also. During the last fortnight the candidates have had to travel by private opnyeyance very nearly eighty miles to make several of the speaking points, This necessarily proves tiresome. Governor Tillman is spending to-day quietly at the mansion with his family. I called on him and endeavored -to ob? tain from him some statement as to his opinion of the result of the campaign work up to date, He declined to have anything at all to say, He will leave here to-morrow afternoon and go to Florence, when he will go the follow? ing morning to attend the meeting at Ma? rion, Senator Butler Is said to be spending to-day at his home in $dgefield, He is expected to come here to-night and go on early to-morrow morning to Florence, where he will make a speech to the citi? zens of that place. jf It is a strange fact that the meeting on Independence day, Wednesday, the 4th of July, is to be hold in what has long been called the "Independent State of Horry," The meeting Is to be held at Conway, which Is a mostdolightful place to talk in midsummer, To sum it all np it.may be staled as a fact that the campaign so far has not re? sulted in that change of hope usually contemplated by such, work. It may be because a large proportion of the people have reached the conclusion that atten? tion to their business does tbem more good than political agitation. The idea that Tillman will b& ejected anyhow has also something to do with the failure of the campaign to excite that interest among the people which has heretofore been displayed, There is no telling what will be developed in the future, but speaking In the light of present results the campaigning might as well not be at? tempted: at all as to continue it on Us present basis. ' Perhaps the real secret of Governor Tinman's declination to push a more ag? gressive fight lies In the fact that the ma? chine in the various counties is getting in its work pretty thoroughly. As has already been stated the Reform commit? tees in each county began their work sometime ago and on Tuesday of next week the State Reform committee meets here, it Is understood, for the purpose of arranging for a general Reform primary on August 4 in each county, the object of which will be to fettle upon some one candidates of the Reform party for each individual office, thus preventing any split of the Reform vote and seemingly assuring the election of Tillman mem? bers of the Legislature from each coun? ty where the Tillman men are in the ma jorlty.-^Spiicial to Jfeips and Courier, ?-. . ... .9 ? mm__ . Colonel K?rrig for Governor. To the Cotton Plant: Having not seen among the newspaper nominations and announcements of candidates the name j of Col. D. K. Norrie for 'gubernatorial I honors, and being sincerely impressed I (although personally unacquainted with I him) that he is in the natural line of politi? cal promotion for very .valiant service of both time aud money already given the movement of the people, and being very desirous of seeing so able, honest and truo reformer from principle justly re? warded, I take it upon myself, without loaf or license, although a strangor to Colonel Norrie, to urge his candidacy, as > I flatter myself that! know a true re? former when I see him, and I look upon Colonel Norris as such, and feel assured that be will get the support of a very large per oeut, of the farmers of the State, he being one of us, and a successful one at that I frequently heat the following expres j sion used by reformers, viz: ,'I want a man with backbone." Well, that is the [ kind of a man ' your humble writer wants { but in addition to the backbone, I want a man that will, in proper lan? guage, resent insults, offered by his I equals and put them beyond resurrection. That finer sensitiven ass of feeling that i governs the action of all gentlemen seems to deter Colonel Norris in public meetings j from securing his merited position, un? like most men of political prominence he seems to be more reserved. No desire whatever to eulogize Colonel Nortis prompted this card, as I am, as already said, only politically acquainted with him, and ? therefore cannot be said that any Interest whatever, only for the honorable perpetuation of true re-1 form, prompted this short letter. Any necessary corrections, you will be kind enough to make, and ask all papers friendly to Colonel Norris or our cause to copy. One thing I forgot to Bay. I want "peas and hominy" but not much, as extremes are dangorous; I want it in broken doses. Yours truly, "Pkimaky." Cooper P. 0., & 0. ? "One of my sick headaches," you will hear people frequently say, as if the com plaint was hopelessly i ecu rable. As a matter of fact, Ayer's Pills not only relieve sick headache but effectually re? move the cause of this distressing com? plaint, and so bring about a permanent cure, Captain Moore, of the ship Mary Gibbs, of Boston, tells a suggestive story of his last voyage to the gold coast of Africa. His cargo consisted of Ne w Eng? land ru m. He also took out as passengers two women missionaries, who had been sent out to exert a civilizing influence on these benighted people. The vessel stopped at thirteen ports to unload the cargo of rum, which was received with wild enthusiasm by the native9, while nobody seemed to want the missionaries The latter seemed discouraged, but nev- I ertheless went stoutly to work to counter- j act the effects of the rum.

Tho matter of the teat of theSonth Carolina registration laws, which so many lawyers hold to be unconstitu? tional, took a fresh start yesterday and is now on its way to the United: States Supreme Court," with a probability of a settlement prior to the general election to be held in November, despite tbe iact that the State Supremo Court of South Carolina by postponing the hearing of the test cases brought therein apparently killed out all chances of a test prior to tho election. Yesterday being the last day prior to tho olection for the registration of voters, a great many men without tickets pre? sented themselves at tbe Richland super? visor's office and asked for tickets. A groat many were registered and then again a great many were refused. The Republican Executive Committee, acting by the instructions of its attorneys, bad Joshua H. Lumsden and Isaac Hall, who were qualified to register in 1882, but did not do so, present themselves and apply for tickets. Tbe supervisor acting as heretofore, refused to give them tickets. The committee then gave notice of an appeal to tbe county bor.rd of supervis? ors. If tbe county board of supervisors Bustains tbe supervisor in bis refusal to grant tickets, tbe matter will be appealed to the Circuit Court, which meets here in October, and if the law is still sustain? ed there the object of the committee is to carry the test immediately to tho highest court in the land?the Unltod States Su? preme Court. These new cases are taking the course prescribed by the State law tor all griev? ances against the supervisors of registra? tion and there is no way for them to be sidetracked. The attorneys for tbe Re? publican committee, so one of tbe com? mittee says, tried the other course of procedure lu order to get the State Su? preme Court to give an advance decision upon the matter, without going through all of the red tape necessary iu the cases just commenced. The appeal from the supervisors decision in tbe two cases mentioned will be filed with the county board in five days' time. Held np the Train, Savannah, Jone 2fl.?Train No. 6 of j the Savannah, Florida and Western rail? way from Thomasville, due to arrive here at 7 o'clock this morning was held up one mile this side of Homerville, 120 miles southwest of Savannah, this morn? ing at 1:50 o'clook, by six masked white men. The safo in the express car was robbed of its contents, ?1,222 in cash. Two of tbe men boarded tbe train at Ho? merville, concealing themselves behind the tender.. As soon as it started they climbed over the uT*^r, cojtaredthecjj-J glneerand fireman with pistols ana tola Engineer Jenkins to stop when ordered. About a mile from Homerville tbe order was given and tbe train brought to a standstill. Then four other masked men joined the party, and, while two kept the engineer covered, they proceeded to got into the express oar. Conductor Farris came out with a train band to investigate tbe cause of stopping but did not stand on ceremony when or? dered to return to bis car. While two of the men kept watch the other two order? ed tbe express messenger, Calder, to open the door. He refused, and was then told he had better get out of the car, He beard one of the men lighting a fuse, and before he could reaoh tbe corner a dyna? mite cartridge exploded, breaking the door from its fastenings and completely stunning the messenger. When lie came to he was looking into the barrel of a pistol, and was ordered to throw up bis hands. Ho did not hesitate long, and when told to open the safe he did so, tak? ing the packages out as ordered. Tbe robber?there was only one in the car gathered up tho money in his arms and went to join bis associates. They got Into the engine, made the lire man uncouple it from tbe oars, and then oompelled both engineer and fireman to leave it. They took the engine, ran up to a point in the woods near Argyle, eleven miles from the scene of robbery, where they left the engine and took to the woods. As soon as they left, word was sent to tbe officials here, who ordered a freight to bring up the passenger poaches to their engine. Sheriff Frank Dickerson, of Thomas County, one of tbe most daring officers in tbe State, at the head of a posse, reach? ed the scene about four hours later, and, with a pack of bounds from MoRae's convict camp, started in pursuit of the robbers, who were thought to have gone off In the direction of tbe Okefinokee swamp, which is thirty miles away. The officials believe tbe robbers will be cap? tured. Up to 8 o'clook to-nip ht the dogs had not caught the trail. The robbers did pot enter tho qgajl rar nor any of the passenger coaches, their only apparent object being to secure the money in the express car. The passengers were con? siderably alarmed for tbe time being, but no one was hurt, The train arrived in Savannah 11:33 o'clock th}si morning, about four hours late. Negroes For Liberia. Philadelphia, June 28.?The ne? groes bore arc eagerly watching for tbe arrival at this port of the steamship Cap ulet, from Hamburg, which has been chartered by the international Migration Society to sail July 0 for the infant ne? gro republic, Liberia, carrying 820 colo? nists and a large general cargo. Of those |.taking passage for Africa only 17? are from Philadelphia, the others having been collected throughout the South, and are now gathering at Savannah, where they will board tbe Capulet after It leaves Philadelphia. Mr. W. C. Brockmeyer, the acting Li berian consul in Washington, will take charge of the emigrants and pargo. Mr. Brockmeyer said that the eagerness to enlist in the movement looking toward the population of Liberia with educated colored people is becoming greater every year, more' especially in tbe Southern' States. This year, no doubt, tbe stagna? tion of industrial affairs has combined with tbe gloving accounts of Liberian prosperity to boom the emigration busi? ness. According to the graphic description of one of tbe settlers iu Grand Bassa County, Liberia, contained in a letter to bis colored brethren ip this, country, it is "the garden of Eden, the paradise of j God. Our wild beauts," he writes, "are very docile?the leopard, elephant and different species of tbe deer and bear, and many others of the quadruped fam? ily, are very quiet. They will all run from us, The natives are hot hostile." Most of the emigrants who are ;o leave Philadelphia are married men and have families, the laws of Liberia putting a premium upon wedlook by donating to each married man twenty aores of farm? ing land and a building lot in either of the settlements he may select, while un? married men get each a ten-acre farm and a town lot. Most of the Immigrants flock to Monrovia', the capital, which has free schools, a oollege and churches of J several denominations. Crossing a Burning Trestle. Atlanta, Ga., July 2.?A special to the Constitution from Anniston, Ala., says ( The north- bound passenger train which left here at 2 o'clock this afternoon on tbe Alabama Mineral Railroad ran into a burning trestle near Edmondson, two miles out of town. Tbe trestle was at tbe bottom of a grade, just around a sharp curve. It was too late to stop the train when the fire was discovered. The engine and tender went across, but, the express, mall and baggage cars fell In, pulling down two passenger coaches. All throe were burned. Engi? neer W. K. Howden, Fireman Wm. Cbastine and one or two others were hurt, but not fatally. The passengers escaped by tbe rear of tbe train unharm? ed. The tire is believed to have caught from an engine which passed over the trostlo two hours before. Tired of Living. Charleston, June 28.?J. Henry Hnckerman, a young white man, com? mitted suicide live miles from here to? day. He tied a bar of iron around his waist and went out into the river, where he shot himself. It was his evident in? tention to have fallen into the river after shooting himself. He left the following note on the table in bis room: "Dear Mother and Father?I am tired of living and so I will make an end of my life. So I mean to die and bury myself, It is useless to try and find my body, for you will never find it. This is about all I have to say out of my mouth while I live. Yours truly and be? loved son, J, H. Hackerman." ? Over 4.000,000 people in this country live upon the wages paid by railroad com pinies. ? Blood purifiers, though gradual, are radical in their effect.

Well, the State campaign has opened, and it seems that they are haying a very quiet time so far. This is probably large? ly due to the fact that the Conservatives have wisely refrained irom patting a tick? et in the field, and have left reformers to fight over the Governorship among them? selves. There are only a half dozen can? didates for the seat Ben Tillman has filled for two terms, but as none of them possess his ability to stir up tronble, the race be? tween them will probably continue unin? teresting. The features of the campaign as to the contest between Gen. Butler and Gov. Tillman for the TJ. S. Senate, now occupied by Butler, from the accounts of the meeting held so far, indicate that the people are badly nplit up, and the general impression is that Gov. Tillman's election is practically assured already. If this should be the rault Senator Butler would have nobody to blame but himself. It must be confessed that his course has not been such as to enlist enthusiastic support from the only element in the State that could be logically expected to favor him, and he certainly cannot hope to capture the Till man its vote by placing himself on Tillman's platform. The Conservative Democrats of this State can hardly be blamed if they prefer to vote even for Till? man, when Butler occupies the eame plat? form as bia opponent. Whai'd the use of growling ? What's the use of bowling ? What's the use of yowling '( When onr State is going wrong. What's the use of sneering? What's the use of jeering? Men are Bick of hearing that old re? form song! ? I am a Reformer myself, but I had much rather experience a little reform than to hear bo much talk about it- We will take Gov. Tillman, for instance. He claims to be a'greatreformer, but what has he done ? Nothing, nothing. Gov. Tillman said in his speech a few days ago that he was in sympathy with the poor class of people? the wool-bat and one-gallus fallows. Yes, he is, too. Have you, reader, ever given th's a single thought? Just think, now, how often "Mass Ben" has these spells of j sympathy. As well as I remember be has these spells some six or eight months be? fore his election comes off. This is bis thiid spell of sympathy, and I think prob ably it is his last. Yes, he is very sympa? thetic, just simply for our Vote, and noth? ing more. 1 stated some two or three weeks ago in my writing that if any of our farmers ofj this community wanted an office they had not said so. Well, no one has said so yet, but actions speak as loud as words. I [-think that there ie some probability of this oommunity having a representative in the Legislature this time. Hope to hear of him announcing himself as a candidate at an early date. He is one of Anderson County's most popular and prosperous farmers, and is well known throughout the County, and I tbiuk is Quite qualified for the office. Mr. J. S. Ragsdale baa suggested a plan to cure a certain disease which is raging among some of our farmers. Mr. Ragt dale, I think your plan is a good one, and if you need any assistance let it be known at once. We have bad good rains throughout this community, and every thing ig look j jg refreshed and Is growing very fast, On last Friday afternoon (20th ult) a storm passed over, wbioh damaged coro badly, blowing down orchards, fences, ttc. No serious damage heard of at this writing. Cotton is growing off very fast, gardens, where they were properly cared for du? ring the drouth, are looking fine. I notice our early gardeners are now putting their early cabbage on tte market. Boasting ears are plentiful and tomatoes are getting ripe. I am not nneasy but what we will live for awhile. The watermelon crop is somewhat late this time, bqt nevertheless it is looking very promising. We had the pleasure of attending servi? ces at Barker's Creek both Saturday and Sunday. Their much-beloved pastor, Mr. Hawkins, filled his regular appointment. Mrs. T. M. Maddox and Mrs. W. H. Cobb, whom we reported on the sick list some two weeks ago, we are truly glad to note, are enjoying good health again. Mr. and Mrs. John Kay, of Annie, S.C., spent Saturday night and Sunday with friends in this vicinity. Mr. Walter Cllnksoales visited friends in this community last Sunday. C. .' ? i Program.

A very heavy thunderstorm passed over tho eastern part of Hart county last Thursday. Dr. Turner lost two fine Jer? sey cows cn his plantation on the Savan? nah river. Mrs. Crawford also lost a fine cow. ?

In Nanking, China, a poor man can limit his food bill to two cents a day and on four dollars a month he can support a family and lay up money. A good farm hand can be hired for twelve dollars a year. A man can be well fed and well dressed on a dollar a month. ? Since the World's Fair Chicago has reformed, says the Philadelphia Ledger, city councils have passed ordinances strictly prohibiting the opening of stores on Sunday, and there is little doubt that they will bo signed by Mayor Hopkins. Heretofore very little attention has been paid to Sunday in certain parts of Chica 5;o, stores of all kinds, and particular y liquor saloons, having been kept wide open. ? Some New York and Philadelphia firms have written President Mewborne. of the North Carolina State Farmers' Alliance, that many of tbe foreign cotton buyers are making complaints of the way cotton is packed in this and come other Southern States. They say that from sixteen to thirty pounds of cotton bag? ging to tbe bale is used, and that some of the Liverpool importers say that they will not buy North Carolina, South Car? olina, or Georgia cotton during tbe coming season unices lighter bagging is used. ? Prior to 1825 all shoes made for wo? men's wear were without beeln, and after that date all hoels of that class were of I tbe concave patterns up to U557. From tbe earliest dates in shoemakirtgdowu to 1810 women's shoes were all "straights," that is to say, they were made so as to bo worn on either foot without inconven? ience. Tbe first set of "rightii and lefts" lasts were made in Philadelphia and bought by Daniel Silsbee, t, manufac? turer, whose works were located in what is, or was, known as "Woodead," Lynn, Mass. ? Another man has committed snlcide by getting In, tocryioje^roxjlgjitg^ta^aj mule. ^Ee,..H^Bnsvine~Tientuckian sayat- "Jesse Storey, a prominent and well-to-do farmer living near tbe Trigg and Christinn line, not far from Roaring Springs, died Wednesday from the ef? fects of injuries received from a mule's kicking him. A few days before be was trying to lo lead a mule into a pond of wa? ter, Uu t as the pond was mirey the ani? mal held back, and as Mr. Story was try? ing to force it into tbe pond ha received a kick in the stomach. He was badly hurt internally and continued to grow worse until death resulted." ? The Now York Times having stated that there were 278,644 desertions from the Northern army during the war the Bos? ton Journal indignantly replies that "the number was only 199,045." Only is good. We have not the reports before us, Ut we doubt whether tho Confederacy bad 199,000 men in active service at any time during tbo war. Lee never had half as many in tbe field in any cam? paign, and Johnson did not have much over one-fourth as many in all his Geor? gia campaign. Over 199 full regiments of deserters Is a startling exhibit for the Union side. What did they enlist for? And according to tho Times there were 278 regiments of them. ? Three Milwaukee counterfeiters, who were under arrest but broke jail a few days ago, are now on the high seas in a stanch clipper yaoht, flying before tbe breeze to keep away from a wrathful sheriff with a steam tug and a double handful of guns, or else are in hiding somewhere, safe on the Michigan shore of Lake Michigan. Tbe fugitives stole the yacht from the beat house of its own? er, a wealthy Man i to woe banker, last Tuesday, and Sheriff Dunn was hours behind his quarry wbem he started in chase with his tug. Tbe sheriff has no authority to arrest the men on tbe high seas, but he has a gun and much bit? terness of spirit and will doubtless do his best, while the fugitives will resist capture to the death if they are overtak? en. ? ? On the 10th of Jone, near Earle Hamilton's in this county, Sam Brown, colored, without cause or provocation, shot and mortally wounded Yardy Rob? inson, colored, aged throe months. Th> child languished for one week and died. Coroner Parsons held an inquest on the 18th and the testimony showed that Sam Brown, who is a negrq maq about twon? ty-one years of age, wept V> the house of the child's mother and demanded his dinner. Tue child was crying and he to|d it if it did hot hush he would shoot it. The mother not apprehending any danger turned away to other matters, when she was startled by the crack of the pistol. She rushed but and found tbe ball had pierced the ohild's eye. The jury of inquest gave tbe verdict of wilful murder. Tbe murderer has so far made good his escape.?Pidcens SentinclK ? The extent to which the human, body can be mutilated wi :hout causing death is bpyand what most people think, Qf course the removal of the largest limb is a familiar fact, but the successive removal of all tbe limbs would in most oases result in nothing worae than incon? venience. In the same way tbe external organs may be extirpated. This is facHi* tated by tbeir quality. One kidney may be removed, and tbe other will make up for the lois by doing double work. One eye may be taken out and the sight re? main practically unimpaired. Large portions of the brain may be removed with no injnry to life or intellect. A por? tion of the intestines has been cut out and tbe ends sewed together, and their normal action and function have not been interfered with.?>% ffiMii ?(lobe Bemo crcf, -7 The old town of Appomattox is en? tirely deserted, with tbe exception of five or six families, of whom only one, that of a Methodist olergyman, is white. A syndicate bought up all the property a few years ago as a speculation, and when the owners got tbeir money and signed tbeir deeds tbey moved away, leaving their houses empty, The Court House was burned about tbe same time, and a new one was erected at the railway sta? tion, about three miles distant, where a considerable town bad sprung up. The McLean house, In which the articles of I surrender were written and signed, was purchased by tbe syndicate and taken to the World's Fair, but for some reason tbe plan was not carried out, and the bricks and timbers are still stored in tbe vacant houses in the neighborhood.

Is the man who writes something the people will read, and reading, believe. In this ege of education and enlightenment, when men read and think for themselves, all that stuff, about "selling goods cheaper than your competitors buy them," being the "only competent dealers .in the line," "handling better stuff than anybody else," Ac, is mere clap trap, and subjects the writer and the firm back of it to the contempt of all right-thinking people. Tbe man who has something to offer, and then tells tbe folks about in a plain, business way, is tbe man who "gets there," and getting there, stands. Lots of people bandle Paint. Some handle one kind, some another, bat they all realize, if they have any business sense at all, that in order to make that business a permanent success it is absolutely neces? sary to give the people tbe very best ma? terial. This we have tried to do, and at a price that puts it in the reach of all. In this connection we call attention to the fact that crops are about laid by, time is plentiful, and a little paint not only freshens and beautlftta, but improves won? derfully the sanitary condition of the premises If your house is all right may? be the fence needs a coat. A little Paint would keep that old buggy from falling down, and the wagon might last a year or two longer by spendlug seventy-five cents or a dollar In Paint on it. Remember this, tbe longer you put it off the more it takes and the less good it does* Remember another thing, it costs just as much, and takes juat us much time, to have cheap paint put on an it does good Paint.
