State Superintendent of Education May field, who is secretary of the board of trustees of the Industrial and Normal College, is Hooded with applications for the positions to be filled. The faculty will not be elected until July. The sn- : perintendent of the institution is tobe elected on February 19. It seems to be more the occupation of some Democratic papers to select a Re? publican candidate for President than a Democratic candidate. Why is it thus T We think it Is fall early to worry about it. It will require all the wind of the big guns eighteen months hence to worry - that gentleman, whoever he may be. . Rev. D. A. Blackburn, pastor of the . Westminster Presbyterian Church j of ?r Charleston, has resigned to accept the pastorate of the Church of the Strangers, in New York; This is an honor to so young- a man and to our State. Dr. Deems filled the pulpit of that Church for .years and ray one must feel complimen? ted to be called in his place. There is no doubt but that the financial ' system of the country needs a thorough overhauling, but at tho same time it is an evident fact that behind all of the depres? sion in business circles stands a woful ? lack oi confidence. Ti e man who solves the qustion.how to restore this confidence among the people of' the nation will be one of the greatest benefactors of the age. The Nebraska Legislature has appro-1 priated $50,000 for the relief of the desti-1 ? tute people of ito western counties. Sop plies of all kinds are pouring in from all sections of the country, the South vieing Wit h the North, the East with the West, in lending a helping hand. It is a bean - ?ful exhibition of national charity, and shows that "we are one people, with one flag and one destiny." It 53 impossible to predict; what Con? gress will do with the currency problem. Every member will admit that legislation is needed on the money question, but no effort is made to socure iL Both the President and Secretary of the Treasury have suggested plans, but thoy havo been rejected* by the solons, and yat not one of the latter have been able to get up or even suggest something better.

Evans has aiinountted thtifc this was the last month in which county dis? pensers would enjoy.lhe plea; jure of bav g u clerk to do the work tot which they paid. A clerk will be allowed only such cases where one is absolutely eeded, as it Is the intention of tho State to economize In every possible ,y.

Even should such a crop as this be produced, prices would probably still be high, because of the decrease in 1894. Another small crop following: the one of last year would necessarily mean exorbitant prices for corn. Because of these facts it becomes more imperative than ever before that "the South should increase its corn acreage /- this year.' The South's large crop last year was dnemore to a heavy yield per acre than to a large increase in acreage. If this section is to maintain its indepen? dence of the West so far as corn is cc i oeraed, every effort should be made to urge upon farmers the importance of planting a larger acreage this year than ever before. With a big corn crop the South is better prepared to stand low priced cotton than it could in any other - way. At the outset the etreet car strikers in Brooklyn, N. Y., had the sympathy of tho public. It was conceded that their pay was inadequate for the work per? formed, and that a strike was justifiable, if ever. But when they began to beat innocent men who were willing to work to keep the wolf from their homes, to destroy property, and to trample on the ; law the case became different. It may be -laid that a strike cannot be successful ' unless auch things are resorted to, but this is untrue. No strike has ever suc? ceeded in this country, when those who engaged in it resorted to riot and murder p to gain their point. And the Brooklyn ? strike ends like all the rest that have been I managed in the same way?in the dfe eomfiture of the strikers, and the loss of work to many who can ill afford to loao their jobs. A strike in the winter and in ?ach a winter as this when thousands of men are oat of employment and anxious to get work, is folly ran mad. However mach we may sympathise with the illy paid street car employees of Brooklyn, we can bat feel that they made a great m intake in choosing this time for a strike, as well as in their manner of conducting it. Let Us All Get Together. Columbia, S. C, Feb. 2.?This is to be one of the liveliest weeks politically at the Capital o t the State since the close of the Pope-Evans campaign. There are to be many matters of more than ordinary interest. First and foremost it might be mentioned that the Constitutional Con? vention campaign will really be started on Tuesday. There is now no doubt what? ever that the State Executive Committee's special meeting has been called for no other purpose than to consider the matter of adopting some plan to be offered to the people of the State with a view to bring? ing the white people of tbe State together, if that be possible. It is generally un? derstood also that some Conservative men, representing the Conservative fac? tion in their respective localities, are to meet with the committee. From what I can ascertain the idea of having the com? mittee suggest and offer a plan comes from the real leaders of the Reform party, and therefore it will be intensely inter? esting to see what will be tbe outcome of the committee's meeting. It is said tbat tbero is no desire to forestall tbe forty and their conference to be held in March, but that the committee wishes to suggest a plan which will meet all the demands of the forty's plan which they can adopt The committee will meet on Taesdayin this city. Gen. Hugh L. Farley, who has all along been ranked as one of the more Conserva? tive Reformers, has last returned to tbe city from a trip to Charleston, Beaufort and other points pretty well covering the entire State, in search of health and recreation. He seems to have had fine opportunities for ascertaining the temper of the people, and to have made the most of them. When asked to-day for his diagnosis of tbe political situation, and his opinion as to the outlook for the Con? stitutional Convention, he talked quite freely. Gen. Farley said: "We'll, you are aware of tbe fact that I am in hearty sympathy with the movement of the forty in their effort to secure a non-partisan Constitu? tional Convention, for I believe it is now a sort of 'open secret,' as they say, tbat I 'had something to do with it,' as Ben Tillman said of the Shell manifesto. I am very glad to say tbat I find a very strong feeling all over tbe State in favor of a harmonious and non-partisan Con? vention, and in facti have met no one who was in favor of anything else. Cer? tainly no one of any prominence has dared to take a stand against it, and our people generally seem to realize the fact that it is an important crisis in the history of the State and that wo have all to lose and nothing to gain in a bitter factional fight over the sending of delegates to tbe Convention. Tbe simple truth is tbat we cannot afford to have a bitter factional fight over this matter, because it will not only be unwi*e, but it will be foolish and suicidal to do so. The sacred prinoiple of white Democracy and white civiliza? tion and good government, upon which all white people are, or ought to be, united, is unavoidably involved, and we must stand together. If we divide and appeal to the negro, as we are sure to do if we do not harmonize our differences, it will mean anarchy, chaos and ruin, for it must be clear to every thinking, observ? ing mind that this Convention will re? unite and harmonize our people?who have already accepted all of the main results of the Reform movement?or it will mark a permanent and irreconcilable division. The campaign will be a quiet, harmonious one, or a 'bell broke loose in Georgia' affair, if you will excuse the ex? pression, leading to?no one knows where. Thank God I Bee abundant signs of that reconciliation which oaght to fol? low tbe success of the Reform Movement, .and, which with a good Constitution, should put the State on the high road to peace, progress and prosperity, with a grand future of education, wealth and a high Christian civilization, which mean happiness before us." "Do you think the call of 'the forty' will bring our people together ?" "It is certainly." Gen. Farley replied, "well meant, is in the right direction, and I do not see how it can do any barm. It has been stated on good authority tbat the State Democratic Executive Commit? tee will at Its approaching meeting pro? pose some plan by which our people can get together and select delegates. I hope this is true, because if they propose a fair one then we can and should adopt it and thus avoid a conflict. No excuse should be given to anyone to 'fly the' track or bolt.' It is of the highest importance for our people to get together and stand together under this regular Democratic organization, and. I sincerely hope that the Executive Committee may be wise and patriotic enough to devise the ways and means for them to do so. If the sim? ple and natural plans of submitting all nominations to a white or Democratic primary is suggested, as I think proba? ble, we could easily adopt it, and then let the people of each county get together in mass meeting or convention and agree on or select a ticket which could be elected without contention. A ticket so selected could not easily be beaten any? way." - "I see that your name has been men? tioned ; do you contemplate, being a can? didate for election to the Convention ?" Gen. Farley said: "I do not wish to go to tbe Convention, and shall not be a candidate. Certainly I will not .be the candidate of any faction, fori believe it to be the duty of every good citizen at this crisis to refuse to allow his name or influence to be used to cause further dis? cord and division, and to prevent strife in the State. Let oar good people get together and select the delegates, for of all the places tbat 'should neither be sought nor declined, tbat of a delegate to a Con? stitutional Convention stands foremost. As the majority of our people are of that political bias, I take it for granted that a majority of the Convention will be Refor? mers ; bat let our people select their best men, men whom they are willing to trust ?for there are many of them on both sides?and Bend them with the simple instructions to preserve while supremacy and civilization through the protection of j the white voter and a well regulated suffrage, and otherwise to Rive us tbe best Constitution they can and one abreast of the progress of the times in our educa? tional, political and industrial affaire." "What about the discussion before the people ?" "Ordinarily I am heartily in favor of public discussion of all public questions as a means of education and informing our people. In this instance, however, if it is possible, the less public discussion of all tbe minor questions with whioh tbe Constitutional Conventian bristles the better. It can only lead to further division and discord, because we cannot agree on them ; and not only individuals, but even counties and sections will disa? gree on various matters. It wAld seem best to send the best men we can get and let them go in a spirit of forbearance, conciliation and concession, representing all classes and interests, to give us the best they can, because, at least, no matter who Is elected, all of these grave matters must be submitted to them. Indeed, I think it would be best for our people to avoid all heated discussion of minor mat? ters except when assembled in delibera? tive bodies, where the main points of interest could be agreed upon." "What is the spirit of tho new adminis? tration?" 'I will not undertake," replied the General "to speak ex cathedra, but from what I have seen lately, with some op? portunity to make observation, it is, gen? erally speaking, what it ought to be. I expressed tbe hope last fall that tbe Gov? ernor would make his election a "bless? ing to our people,' and I now hope that with proper support and encouragement it will prove so. Mere factious opposi? tion is never right nor wise, and as long as the Administration shows its present disposition to deal justly and fairly with all parties, and not to unjustly use or abuse the high power and privileges en? trusted to it by the people, It is our duty to meet it more than half way in every endeavor to secure the peace and pro? gress of the State, and to find a satisfac? tory solution of all our political differen? ces and difficulties."?Special to Neius and Courier. -m ? m ? A special dispatch to the New York Evening Post from Raleigh, N. C, says: "There has been a disposition manifested on tbe part of a large number of the Pop? ulist members of the Legislature to give women the right to vote on certain occa? sions and make them eligible to certain offices. A bill to require that one mem? ber of the school committee in each coun? ty shall be a worn \n was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 20 to 19. A large number of women were spectators in the Senate galleries when the vote was taken, and when the result was announced they loudly applauded, thus Illustrating what is generally known?tbat the white wo? men of North Carolina, and the South generally, are opposed to female suffrage, and are not in favor of memhOi'B of their sex holding public office," A Profit on Flvo-cfnt Cotton. Raleigii, N. C, January 28.?Ono of tbe class of Southern farmers who main? tain tbat cotton can be rained in the Car? olinas at fivo cents a pound was here yesterday and furnished this illustration in support of the claim. Said be: "Major A. H. White, who lives near Rock Hill, 8. C, like myself, believes that there is money to be made by raising cotton in this country at five cents a pound, and he has just demonstrated the tact. Last season he cultivated twelve acres of land in cotton?cultivated, I say, and did not half-way cultivate it as most of us have been doinpr?and from that twelve acres he harvested twenty-one ba'es averaging 452 pounds each. He has just sold it for 4.80 cents a pound, the price middling cotton was bringing thai; day?and he therefore received $455.01. He says the ! total expense incurred in cultivating it I was less than $200, bo the remainder is i net profit. When the farmers of the cot ton States thoroughly catch on to the 'intense' farming idea I am satisfied tbat the staple can be grown generally, on most of the land now used for that pur? pose, at a profit, at five cents per pound.? New York Evening Post. The Train Didn't Com9. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 4.?A spe oial to the Times-Union from Marianna, Fla., says: Some time ago a negro, nam? ed Willis Gordon, came here represent? ing himself as agent for a Liberian colo? nization society. He proposed to trans? port negroes to Liberia at a dollar a bead. He secured hundreds of dollars and left, telling tbe negroes tbat a train would ar? rive for them last Saturday. The negroes sold all their possessions at a sacrifice and quartered at the depot Saturday to take the train to begin their journey to Liberia, but no train came. When the negroes realized that they had been duped, they became almost frenzied. There were fully 2,000 negroes?men, women and children?gathered at the de? pot, and bad not Sheriff Finlayson ar? rived on the scene a riot would probably have resulted. The Sheriff summoned a posse and finally succeeded in dispers? ing the negroes. Many of them are now without homes or possessions, and will suffer as a result of Gordon's rascality. They vow that they will lynch Gordon if he ever reappears in Jackson county. A Warning to Cotton Planters. New Orleans, Jan. 29.?The Hon. Hector D. Lane, of Alabama, president of th e American Cotton Growers' Protective i Association, has furnished the following ! significant memorandum'for publication I to the people of the South: "It goes without saying that if anything like three-cent cotton on plantations is witnessed next year a general crash will I ensue. Real estate and securities of all kinds will reach such a level in the South as few can imagine: "European speculators are to-day sell? ing cotton In Liverpool for delivery in October, November and December, 1895, at a price equivalent to about 4 cents on farms in the South, for middling, or 5 cents at tbe ports, believing that another 9,500,000 or larger crop will be grown in America, which would insure them a profit of at least 1 cent per pound, which would mean to the farmer about 3 cents at the railroad stations next autumn when cotton is moving in large volumes. It is not to be supposed tbat these shrewd European cotton people are aggressively selling the next crop at equal to 4 cents unless they have excellent reasons for believing that the South will plant for another monster crop. "They are confident, on information furnished them, that Texas will not de? crease its acreage, therefore believing this to be true to suob en extent that they w!ill be able to buy back during next fall the cotton they are now Belling at much lower prices, realizing thereby handsome profits. "It remains with tbe farmers and mer? chants of tbe South to say whether these European speculators will be permitted to reap a golden harvest at the expense of the farms, plantations, towns, real estate and securities of the Sontb. "The above statement is from me offi? cially, and I drs're tbat it should be pre? sented to the public as such through the pi-eas. "Hector D. Lane, "President Cotton Growers' Protective Association." Death Leap Between the Cars. Asheville, N. 0., Feb. 2.?Samuel A. Miller, who came from Louisville, Ky., three months ago with bis family, threw himself between two coaches of tbe east bound passenger train to-day and was crushed to death. Mr. Miller was suffer? ing from melanoholia, caused, it is under? stood here, by business cares, and has attempted to take his life before to-day. B.'e seemed for a time to improve here, where he was brought in the hope that the change of climate would improve his mental condition. A distressing incident of the snicide was that his son stood by and tried to restrain his father as he plunged forward under tbe ooaches and that a daughter was on the train that ran over the body. Mr. Miller came here with flattering letters of introduction that ai, once .gave him and his family entrance into the society of some of tbe leading families of the city and vicinity. All of his family are here except one son. The body will be taken to Louisville for b a rial, leaving here Sunday afternoon. m o m The Cotton Conundrum, Correspondents from all over the State have been noting the fact that the farmers are not buying as heavily of fertilizers this season as they usually do. These reports have come from beyond the bor? ders of South Carolina and suggest that the farmers throughout tbe South are outting down in their consumption of fertilizer. Exactly to what extent this will go cannot be predicted yet awhile, as the season has but well started, and the future purchases may more than make up for the present deficiency. Peo? ple who are not conversant with the lacts say that there has been an increase in the movement recently, and this develop? ment may attain snub proportions during February that what has been lost will be regained. r_ ? This, however, is a matter which will only be settled with the progress of the season. The facts of the case seem to be at the present time that the movement has been unusually light up to the pres? ent time. The movement of fertilizers out of Charleston gets well started in January, and by the close of this month enormous shipments are being made daily. A gentleman who is in a position to know what he is talking about said yesterday that at tbe present time the movement was not more than a third of what it usually is at this season of the year. According to his figuring the de? crease has been a remarkable one. He said he had heard i t stated upon good authority that one xailroad in the city alone took about 1,300 carloads behind what it had handled up to the same date last year. He went on to estimate that this repre? sented, at ten tons to the car, 13,000 tons of fertilizers. Allowing 200 pounds of fertilizer to the acre this represented 130,000 acres of cotton land that would either not be planted this year, or would be planted without fertilizers. What would be the decreased yield in conse? quence could not be so accurately esti? mated, but it would amount to a pretty round number when figured out in bales. Discussing the matter still further the same gentleman said that he had made iome inquiries into tbe subject, and he found tbat Charleston's experience was not an exceptional ono, on the contrary so far as he had been able to ascertain the same ratio of decrease was observable in all of the important fertilizer producing centres. How long this would last no one could say. The season is just begin? ning, and there is yet ample time in which to regain the lost ground, but many people do not believe tbat the ship? ments this year will be nearly so large as those of last. There was an enorme us movement in 1893, but last season showed a considerable decline, so that it is not improbable that this will follow suit.? News and Courier. Another Enemy. Washington, Jan. 31.?The Depart? ment of Agriculture is engaged in the investigation of the cotton boll wevil, a destructive species of which has recently been introduced into Southern Texas from Mexico. The insect is practically new to etomologists, though it has been found that thirty years ago it caused the abandonment of cotton culture around Monclovet, Mexico. Texas cotton plan tors observed its work in their fields for the first time last summer and speoimens were sent to the Department of Agricul? ture for investigation. An expert was sent into tbe field under the direction of the etomologist, Dr. L. O. Howard, and remained through the fall and early win? ter months, carefully studying the habits of the insect. A district about 6,000 square miles is now infested. Tho insect bores into the cotton boll and ruins the fiber and the seed. In some instances during tbe past summer, it has caused a loss of from 50 to 90 per cent, of the crop. It spreads rather slowly by flight, but ia apt to be carried into new regions in cotton brought from the infested fields to the somewhat widely separated cotton gins. The De Sartmentdf Agricnlture has warned the t?te of Texas through a letter written to the Governor and the probable extension of the damage to the cotton crop of Texas in the near future and the possibility of the spread of the insect to neighboring cotton-growing States. Immediate legis? lation is urged, legislation which will isolate the affected region and also the i Mexican border. Call the State Alliance! The State Farmers' Alliance is likely to be in session in Columbia in about a fortnight to consider what the farmers of the State bad best do to better their con? dition and do battle with the 5 cent cot? ton situation. The ball has started and it will doubtless gather momentum as it rolls until the unusual sigbt will be wit? nessed of the calling of the organization together at this time of the year. The fertilizer problem is one of the main? springs which is actuating the Alliance men. A gentleman who arrived in the city from Newberry yesterday evening brings the intelligence that the Alliance of that county met ye.11onlay morning to discuss the situation. After talking the matter over the Alliance unanimously adopted resolutions offeied by the Rev. J. A. Sligb, asking the president of the State Alliance to immediately call a meeting of that organization, to be held in Columbia on the third Tuesday in this month to consider the condition of the furming classes, devise some uniform plan for helping the situation, decide what shall be done about the purchase of fertilizers, and see if cheaper rates cannot be secured. Acting upon the feeling of assurance that the meeting would be called, the Newberry Alliance elected as its dele? gates to the meeting the Rev. J. A. Sligh and Jos. L. Keitt. This action will doubtless be taken up by other County Alliances at once. It has been precipitated, no doubt, by the action of the railroad commission in de? clining to reduce tbe fertilizer rate. The commission is meantime request? ing all railroads, merchants and fertilizer companies to file with it by next week a schedule of proposed fertilizer rates for next year.?Columbia State, Feb. 2. Senator Brown's School Boys. In the brief autobiography of Senator Joseph E. Brown, published by you, some interesting events of his lite here were modestly left out by him Among them was joining the Baptist Church while at school at Calboun and his bap? tism by the Rev. C. P. Dean. The night after his baptism he attracted much at? tention by his fervent and beautiful prayer. Soon after this he met in debate a hard? shell preacher named Musgrove, who was opposed to temperance societies, and challenged the world to meet him on the question. The late Judge J. P. Reed carried him to the meeting in his carriage to old Dorchester Church, near Belton, and enjoyed greatly the adroit manner in which he handled his adversary. He came out the victor. Doubtless his pious and temperate life had much to do with his triumphs and success in after years. From tbe Calhoun Academy he went to that of the late Wesley Leverett, in tbe suburbs of the city of Anderson. He boarded at the late Capt. John McFall's and remained here nearly two years. Tbe Rev. B. F. Maoldin gave him a let? ter of introdnction and recommendation to Dr. John W. Lewis when he went to Camon. The Rev. Mr. Mauldin per? formed tbe ceremony on his marriage with Miss Gresham. In after years tbe Senator sent his younger b cot hers to Mr. Leverett's school, and one of them, Judge James R Brown, of Canton, Ga., subse Juently married a daughter ot Dr. Lewis, n the Doctor's old age the son-in-law became his financier and that of his fami? ly after his death. Another brother, the late Dr. W. C. Btowd, of Belton, S. C, married a daughter of tbe Rev. C. P. Dean, above mentioned, and became his financier and that of his family after his death.?Joseph N. Brown, in Keowee Re? view. So Time For Factions. The constitutional convention and election of delegates thereto is not a ques? tion of faotion or party, but one as wide as humanity and our country. It makes no difference about the proportion of del? egates from the factions. There should be no factions. The great question 'is what are we to have in exobange for what we have now, something better or some? thing worse? Any candidate who is unwilling to go before the people and show wherein be can better any one of the sixteen articles of the present constitution and is not willing to submit his work to the sover? eign white people of South Carolina should himself be distrusted. We are all South Carolinians and should make a constitution of which all South Carolini? ans may be proud. That will protect all, and oppress none. Let the discussion commence, and every white man declare himself for white supremacy, the preser? vation of the homes of the people, the education of the masses of the people, equal and just taxation and all the safe? guards that are necessary to seouro the reserved rights of the people. It is the fashion to quote President Lincon. One of his sayings was: "Everybody knows more than anybody"?So let us have the wisdom of all the white people of South Carolina, and argument, not abuse of good men who may honestly differ from us.

THE Firm of Taylor cfe Crayton has been dissolved this day by mutual con? sent. The business will be continued at the same stand by E. W. Taylor, to whom all accounts must be paid. Thanking our customers for past favors, we are Yours truly, E. W. TAYLOR. T. S, CRAYTON. Jan. 14,1895. -0 In retiring from bnsinesa I bespeak for the new Firm the patronage of my friends and acquaintances bestowed upon me in the past T. S. CRAYTON. HOW'S TRADE ? OUR trade is good, thank yon. In fact, we never sold more goods in our lives. A common question, but an uncommon answer, you say. So be? it, and there's a reason for it, too. Would you you know the cause ? Then, 'Iis figures. The figures we make. They are attractive figures-. The figures that competition cannot make. To tell the truth, these same figures are rapidly pushing competi? tion to the wall. They can't fight a figure that they don't how to make. Hence you often see idle clerks around other doors while the Ten Cents Store is crowded. Customers ever go off un waited on ? Well, yes. There are times when we can't wait on all. At such times we have to do the best we can, and ask our customers to kindly have patience 'till we can get to them. Do they wait on you? Yes, I should say they do. It is too costly to go out. An old customer says it 13 poor policy to pay five cents extra, a.nd save only one cent's worth of time. Five cents on a twenty cent article means twenty-five per cent. A. big profit of itself. See! How about late-comers ? Do they have a3 good chance as early buyers ? Well, no. Not always. It frequent? ly happens that the slow get left. "Procrastination" often gets the better of the best of us. Especially is this true about holiday goods. However, we always do the very best we can to the very last. Why don't you get a larger house and have more help, and just push everything out of the way as you go ? In that case we should be at such expense that we would have to in? crease our prices to cover it In other words, charge the difference to our customers. This we don't wish to do. We caution you, beware of houses with too much expense attached. Would be glad to talk longer, but must wait on this lady. Yours always truly, C. S. MINOR, and 10c. STORE.
