Have faith in your country and push along the wheels of progress. Some of the calamity howlers are now grumbling because the farmers are get ting one dollar a bushel for their wheat . The only redeeming feature of the Dlngley tariff is that it now promises to double the cost of cigarrettes to the con sumer. _ _ If wheat doesn't stop sailing skyward we may look for a renaissance of the good old "corn pone" and the healthful butplebeian "hoecake" in America before tbo year closes. ? la bis speech at Florence last Saturday Irby coafessed that he "cheated through the nomination ofTillman" in the Con\ ventioc of 1S90. He also denonnced Till - man in bitter terms. Governor Ellerbe has announced the dismissal of Chief State Constable Bahr from the constabulary force. He gives no reason except that the grounds of dis missal are satisfac tory to himself. An exchangeis eminently correct when it says the farmer who is making his land richer every year is laying up the best bank account possible. Robbing the soil for present profita is never practiced by good farmers.' Spain has a way of dealing out justice to anarchists and such like that is indeed admirable. The man who killed the Spanish premier a short time ago was tried, condemned and executed within a 9 fe*7 days of his awful deed. We occa i, sionally need some of that sort of justice v\ in this country. 'Editor Edmunds, of the Manufactur er's Rbcord, says the farm?ra will realize 1500,000,000* more from their crop of 1897 than from lS9?, and that it is probable be cause of enforced ?conomies the 1897 crop . "was raised at less expense than the one of IS9?. These are big figures, but we hope there is ground for the estimate There is quite a flutter among the fair sex in certain circles North because of the surplusage of unmarried femalea, and the disinclination of their young men and bachelors to marry, One, an Ohio tchool-mistress, has gone bo far.as to pro pose to ahaperonea party of young ladies to the Klondyke on ahuut for hus bands, ?u o - Some New York and Philadelphia dal lies that have hitherto been bitter against the Sonth, have swung corners and are now culling the attention of immigrants to our vast resources. What are they try ing to cnioad on us, anyhow? Desirable and thrifty immigrants are' welcome, but wji make no bid for the riffraff. The ^outh doesn't set up for a reformatory. Col.'Phil. Byrd, who was appointed by Go v. A tkinson to inspect the convict camps of Georgia, has made his report to the Governor. It is a horrible revelation to the people of Georgia, the atrocities and cruelties which have been practiced in the private camps of the State. Men and women have been worked together, chained together, poorly clad and more poorly fed, and have been treated worse than dumb brutes'. The. report will no doubt, bring about a greatly needed re form in this branch of criminal punish ment in that State. " President McKinley attended the G. A. R reunion in Buffalo last week, and at a banquet made this graceful allusion to the men who wore the gray: "Ate alli?e in auy future war we? have the brave men who fought against us on Southern battle fields*. The army o? Grant and the army of Leo are together. They are one now in faitb, In hope, in fraternity, in purpose and in invincible patriotism, and there fore thu country is in no danger." These allusion?, we are told, were received with vociferous applause, the audience stand ing upon their seats to cheer. History will record that this young re public is the greatest evidence in the his tory of govern ments of the genius of man It is but a century and a quarter.old, but recent statistics show that it is has 229,722 miles of railroad against 155,284 in all Eu rope, and that in the five years of* active railway construction, 1879 to '84, 38,810 miles of railroad built in the world, 3i, 861 were bnilt in America. Considering what this country was one hundred and twenty-flvo.years ago, it would be worth while looking in on it one hundred and twenty five years hence, to soe what it is then. This is the way the St. Louis Republic, only a few days ago one of the loudest and most persistent of the calamity howl ers, now puts it: "Prosperity is on the way. Its advance agents are with As. They are confidence, good crops at home and a shortage of crops abroad. The golden promise gleaming in the granaries of garnered grain bav?fc lighted factory Ores, stimulated commerce and set the wheels of com merce in motion. Ere an other year bas passed away they will have ground out the dawn of an era.of pros perity, unequalled in the history of the country. In Alaska?a dream of wealth; at home?its realization." "Confidence, the foundation of all com mercial prosperity, is being restored; it can be seen and felt by all who are not blinded by prejudice, and whose sensi bilities are not calloused by ignorance." So spoke the President of the American Bankers' Association, at the annual ses sion ic Detroit recently. It is the uni versal verdict. Many explanations have been made of the hard times tbrongh which we have passed: The Republicans charged them to the Wilson tariff act. The silver Democrats charged them to the striking down of the white metal. The gold Democrats charged them to the aasanlt ou gdld payments. The Popu lists charged them to redemption mon ey. Many business men held that the inevitable' day of settlement had come around, and heneo the stringency. But ilo matter what brought the hard times, we had tbem and had them bad. Now, happily, they aro passing, and the coun try is entering upon an era of unexampled prosperity, nnless all signs fail. Terrible Fate. Caspkr, Wyo., Aug. 28.?A two-year ' old child was carried away by a moun tain lion on Casper Mountain Tuesday morning. A fruitless search has been made by herders of flocks and miners, days and nights to find the baby. The little ono is an orphan, whose mother died last year and whose father had put it into the care and keeping of a family by tbo name of Henderson, who are* herding sheep ten miles from Casper at the head of "Cy" canyon. At daylight Tuesday Mr. Henderson arose and followed his flock, leaving his wife and the orphan charge sleeping in camp>^ When he returned at 9 o'clock for breakfast the woman was fast asleep and the babvwas gone. It had awakened and toddled, out in its night dress. A search was at once made for the little one and it* bare feet tracks were found lead ing to a spring nearly a mile away. Near the spring were also found fresh tracks of a huge mountain lion. No other trace of the babe has been found. There is known to be a den of four lions on Casper Mountain. No hopes aro entertained of ] linding/tho baby alive. OUR NEXT SENATOR Special to the Intelligencer. Columbia, S. C, Sept. 1?9 a. m. Tbe election of McLaurln seems to be conceded. Up to this time tbe total vote reported is 30,452, out of which McLaurin got 20,578, Evans 0,015, Irby 3,259. The chances are that the vote is the lightest ever cast. Last year the vote ran up to 83,000, and ifit runs up to 05,000 this year it will be a surprise. Col. Irby and Gov. Evans wili run nip and tuck for last place, and some think Irby will yet beat Evans. No disturbances are reported from any part of the State. The vote in Charleston showed 12 to 1 for McLaurin, being 1,199 for McLaurin, 95 for Evans and 19 for Irby. This was in the city. York County complete gave McLaurin 1,194, Evans 339 and Irby 21. Stanyarne Wilson estimates Spartanburg's vote as follows: Irby 1,800,?Evans 400, and Mc Laurin 1,400. ?ldrich was elected to the Senate from Barn well and Hydrick to the House from Spartanburg. A. Komn. later news. Columbia, 8. C, Sept. 1.?10 a. m. The Register says McLaurin is 13,531 ahead of his competitors, and districts yet to be heard from cannot change the re sult. \ The State places McLaurin's final ma jority at 13,000. All the papers Bay that it has been a McLaurin landslide. The News and Courier editorializes on* McLaurin's election. I Evans will likely carry three Counties und Irby about the same. A second primary will have to be had in the Sixth Congressional District be tween Johnson firsthand Norton or Ell erb o for second place, with chances favor ing Norton being in second race. A. . THE'SENATORIAL PRIMARY. There-was very little interest manifest ed in the Senatorial primary election in this County yesterday. Less than half of the Democratic vote o? the County was polled. There was no election held at Fork No. 2. The following is the tabula ted vote of the County: CLUBS. Anderson, Mo. 1., Anderson, No. 2. Anderson, No. 3. A.nderson, No. 4. ? Alton, Nos. I and 2..

Florence, August 28.?Pol. Irby to night declared war against Tilfman. In the remarkable speech be has made in this campaign he reproached Till] man for ingratitude and vehemently declared: "I'll strike back, if it defeats me." As one fiery denunciation after another roll ed from his lips the crowd would yell, "Bit him again," and break into ap plause. At this late hour it is impossible to give but a faint idea of the speech, or to do it justice. It was well, delivered and well received. The Reformers eacrifi?ed me last year because I was a Dem ocrai. I am the only one who has stood by the old Democratic Ship of State since IS76. I don't expect Tillman's support in this fight, though was tbe besUiriend he ever had since 1SS6. I stood by him until I saw him seated it the highest office in the gift of the people Up to then I was the bully boy with the glass eye. Since then he has goneloack on me. Tillman says he's hands off, but {she's mouth on. He has been preceding me in this can vass. He was in Abbeville before reached there. He'>waa in York, where ] have friends, and now I hear of him being In Union. What righi has be to go around in my section of the State making speeches if j he's hands off? I am 3tting tired of this thing. It has got to stop. I'll strike buck, if it defeats mo. lie says at Union that McLaurin is with him for tbe good of tbe South. What does he mean by that? He means: "Vote for McLaurin, he's as good a tool as I want." It means that McLaurin will vote with him for protection, and thin is the good of the South he talks of, yet this comes from the man who said he would vote for the Dingley bill were his vote needed. What does he say about Evans? "Ob, yes, be would be good, too, if ho was there, but I have'nothiog to do or say about the election for United States Senator." Evans interrupted and said, "Tillman can't control cae." / Irby: I am resenting an insult to you that you ought to have resented yourself. It's a nice thing, after yon have made such an able campaign in defence of Dem ocracy and tbe people Of the State, to be told by Tillman that when yon get to the United States Senate you will be all right to vote with him for protection and the Dingley bill. In other words, if you vote for McLaurin, we are together; vote for Evans and Pil have him all right. If yOu elect McLaurin Tillman is hap py; if you elect Evans Tillman is happier. Tillman made this statement in answer to questions already prepared. I've been in politics, and I know. Bot what did he have to say of Irby? Not a word. It's strange that he's going around only in my section. Why don't he come down here in the tf:h District to make speeches. He only speaks around in tbe Piedmont seeion, and it's stranger still that the no tion should strike him at this time to go there and cake speeches to save the dis pensare, that is hung between Heaven and Hell. But I'll give hiss, to understand I'll be none of his poodle dog i/ I go to the Uni ted States Senate. If he strikes me I'll strike back. I'll give you people to un derstand that I'll be responsible to no man and will wear man's collar., but will hold my commission as a trust ?rom the people who elected me. Col. Irby declared that Evans should never have placed the metropolitan police on Charleston, bnt declared it was worse in Ellerbe in not removing it after having promised to do so.?News and Courier. - ? a ecu.-? ? Assuming that telegraphing without wires will aoon be an accomplished fact the New York Herald Bays : "There are two puzzles whish remain. Somebody must discover the secret of the fish's tail, which puts our best propeller to shame as a sort of stage coach affair, and then we shall have rapid transit across the ocean with a vengeance. Some one else must find tbe secret of tbe bird's wing, and then we shall have air ships for passen gers and merchandise. When we have made these two discoveries and applied themjwe shall look for the millennium." SOUTH CAROLINA. A Letter Wh:r'i ^vcry Farmer In Ala bama Should Read. Wo clip tho following lottcr froua Our Mountain Home, a paper published at Talladega, Ala.: To the Editor of the Home : It does mo good to meet an old friend, especially when away from home, so it was with real pleasure that I read a copy of the Home last week tor the first timo in several months. Poor old John Sherman took a trip lately through the South, and on getting back homo he stated tha'. everywhere except in ''poor South Carolina" the country was improving. Many believed him, and I came here pitying the State and thinking it was ? : down hill. It does me good to see that the old trickster did not tell the truth when ho slandered South Carolina. This county, Anderson, is a rough, hilly one, with the Seneca river' running through it. Tiiere are no rich, bottom lands such as we have, for the bauks ot rivers and creeks are generally high bluffs, coming down almost perpendicu larly. The soil is generally red and sandy with a subsoil of clay,.similar to the hills or high lands of Talladega county. But I wish our Talladega and Alabama farmers could visit this portion of* South Carolina. Terracing has wrought a wonderful change. Every hill, little and big, from bottom to top is like a garden. Such a thing as a gully or yawning wash is un known. Every hil? is terraced and all fertilizers used are retained on the soil. And such large barns. Nearly every farm of 200 or 300 acres has one. They look like our Chautaukua building cut in half and made two stories high. I askod when I first got here what in the name of | thunder the people built such barns for? But after they had cut wheat, oats and pea vines, etc., and I saw them crammed with hay I understood the need. The larm houses are generally neatly painted and look clean and in repair. Nearly every man has apparently a new buggy with umbrella top, (made in the State, too), and the mules and horses are sleek and fat. Such a thing as a poor mule I have not seen even when owned by a negro. And now I am abont to state what many will think an exaggeration, viz: That the roads all over the county are in perfect order, smooth and good, 30 feet widi3 with good ditches wherever needed. They remind me of the race tracks which in the boom-times are seen at our county fair grounds. I met Major W., one of the first to see the benefit of | terracing and a stock law. This gentle man stumped the county 15 or 20 years ago in favor of these, and has lived to see the good he did. The county seat, Anderson, is a little gem of 4,000 or 5,000 people. The trip will cost but little. Take the Southern railroad at Talladega to Seneca and there take a buggy. Will cost ?9 35 to Seneca, and drive to Anderson ?3.00. Hotels charge from $100 to 2 50 a day, and I am sure there are many farmers in the county who would take pleasure in keeping a man a day or so free of charge, and who would show him around. Talk about Yankee push and vim, why I would stake one of these South Carolina farmers against any Yankee you can bring, and "Yank." would have to lope to keep up with him. By the way, Brother Williams, tell Brother Joiner I was at an association last week, and to cot the matter short it was "just like a camp meeting 'fo the war." Such eating, ung ! Yours truly, H. S. H. Anderson, 8. C., Aug: 1C, '97. From Florida. Editors Intelligeneer : So much has been said and written about Florida, (the land of love end orange blossoms,) its beautiful scenery and delightfol climate,' that a word from my pen would eeetn futile. However, I will give a few briefs of Santa Rosa County. It lies between the Alabama liine and Gulf of Mexico, and is the second county'from the western border of the State. It bas within its borders East and Black water BayR and large por tions of E^cambia and Pensacola Bays, with a salt water coast of over 200 miles. There if* some lovely Ecenery along the coast of Eseambia and Pensacola Bays and Escambia Kiver, which empties into Esoambia Bay. On this river, near Mo David, Fin., ii one of the finest mineral Springs to be found. I am most snre it is the "fountain of youth," for which Ponee hdeleon Whs searching. There's plenty of fish in the lakes near by, and the spring is quiteaph 'i unt resort in snmnif-r. There are any nuniber of lakes and rivers in the oounty, a;.-l they teem with fish. Game is not so pU uiiful as it once was, but there are still dter and turkey, plenty of small came, and, occasionally, a bear. So hunt ing and fishing can be enjoyed by all who care fur the sport. This is fine farming land. The soil is very fertile and corn, cane, rice, potatoes and all kind of vegeta bles are grown without much trouble, and within a few years cotton and tobricco will be grown to great extent. Any one with little money und lots of energy can do well and "live at home" in 8inta Kosa C'unty. On trial the land will be found the borne of the crape and peach, and fora while pears did well, and dotted here and there throughout the County were large or chards. But blight has impaired them to a considerable extent, and the pear will soon be a thing of the pest The Keley , plum and Japan persimmon and other I fruit will thrive here. Tho fig is grown readily and rapidly from cutting!), and will bear the second year. The pine, cypress, oak, sweet gum, and other varieties off m ber are found within the borders of the County, and the principal industry is the logging and timber business, bot the peo ple are turning their attentlou to farmmg more so than formerly. This i ? very progressive people and want to keep up with the procession. There are good schoolhousi's and churches throughout l;be County, and health i* fine. Bat if I don't wind up this effusion it will find r. i<sting place in the "vrar.o ba%ket " Floridian. The Country Must Prosper. Washington, A.ugust 27.?Assistaut Seoretary Brigbam, of the agricultural department, to-day expressed the opinion that the American farmers this year would rsceive in the aggregate from four to five hundred million dollars in excess ofthat received last year for their a products. Thi ho said, means much to the farmers. They have learned in the season of hard times through which they have passed to economize where they could and to be careful in buying. They will use the money they receive for their crops to pay off their debts, cancel mort gages, and in making improvements on tbe farm. This seems like a vast sum, but statistics sustain the claim. Col. Brigbam also predicted that the in creased price of farm products would benefit the laboring element. The price of labor, he said, did not de cline with the price of larm products, and for some time tbe farmer was forced to pay as much for the services of those who did his work us ever, while their receipts were cut in two. The laboring man will be benefited by this advance in prices. The farmer will discharge his indebted ness and make improvements, which re quire labor. He will purchaee more of the products of labor, putting a vast sum of money in circulation, and this will create a demand for labor in all lines, and men who have bean without employment or only partially employed will work full time at fair wages. A-Horror of the Fames. Tampa, Fla., August 29.?Marie, the 14-year-old daughter of Mrs. Frances Valdez, of Port Tampa City, went to the kitchen to start a fire this afternoon. Sbe poured on kerosene, and inelantly there was a deafening explosion, followed by tbe girl's agonizing death cries as she ran from the room*a blazing mass. Mrs. Val dez at once went to her daughter's as sistance. While she was attempting to extinguish the flames her own clothes caught lire, and tbe two ran screaming from the house. Both -were burned to a erisp, especially about their faces. It was impossible to recognize them. The house caught from the flames and was soon a mass of tire, and a small boy was burned in the house. Mis body has not yet been recovered. The fire spread rapidly sad five houses owned by the Plant In vestment,Company were burned, there being no tire protec tion. The department from Port Tampa . turned out, but could do no good, there f being no water on hand. Loss about ?2, 000. 'J'be Valdez family were Cubans, employed in e cigar factory near where the fire occurred. The fire was witnessed by several thousand pleasure seekers at Picnic Island and the inn. ? A writer in a leading magazine has made the prophecy that in three hundred years from now tho world will know only throe languages?English, Russian and Chinese. ?he English language will be Bpoken all over both North and South America, in Australia, India, Africa, New Zealand and the islands of Australasia and the Pacific. Tbe Russian tongue will have conquered all Europe except Great Britain, and all Asia except India. Chinese will hold sway over the rest of j the world. Helton Itiuiis.

Stanley, who went to St. Michael's for the Associated Press, returned to this ci: on the steamer Portland. He says : i have been for seven weeks at the mouth of the Yonkon, at St. Michael's; where I saw all the miners coming out and interviewed them. As a result I feel it my doty to advise everybody to etay out until next spring. Wild, and in many cases?exuggerated reports have been cir culated since the first discoveries were made. The strike, however, was and is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in the worli's history. Probably $2,000,000 was cleaned up this spring, and next epring I look for from 95,000,000 to $7,000, 000. Tho fields have hardly been opened up as yet, bnt those going in now must bear in mind that everything in that re gion was staked out long before any re ports reached the outer world and later comers must prospect for themselves, buy claims from the present owners or work for the owners. No new strike had been reported up to the time of my leav ing, and another may not be made for five years, although Alaska is au enor mous country and will yet, I believe, pro duce more gold than wo dreamed of. But it is also in many ways a bleak, barren, desolate country, a country in capable of supporting any great amount of animal life, and a country of such a rigorous climate, both winter and spring, that none but the most hardy can pos sibly live in it. Even they must have an abundance of food and warm clothing. There is a popular impression that sup plies can be bought in the vicinity of the mines. They may at present be pur chased at six times the Seattle prices, but they aro taken at even those figures faster than they can be gotten, and before winter is half over if the present popula tion remains, there will be actual starva tion. The average man requires about one ton of carefully selected food and clothing for a year's supply. In the sum mer of 1896 about 3,500 tons of supplies went up the river, and the new popula tion of 1,500 to 2,000 suffered from want. Of this 3,500 tons, probably 1,500 tons were rum, tools, furniture and supplies other than provisions. This season, allowing for the most favorable circum stances, not more than 4,200 tons of sup plies can be carried up the river, and fully one-half of this is rum and tools, as well as supplies other than food. There are more than three times as many peo ple there than last winter. Figure it out for yourself.,, Grub was completely cleaned out this spring, and last winter there was such a scarcity that moose hams sold for $30 each, dour ?120per hundred, bacon 81 per pound. What will happen this winter ? Why should not people starve to death this winter? As to shelter, 90 per cent, of Dawson was living in tents in July, labor Is scarce and houses cannot be bnilt. As to labor, it is true that last winter, the winter succeeding the great "strike," when men were scarce, wages were 815 a day, but if no new strike is made, what is to keep wages up this winter? There are about 340 claims on Bonanza, Eldo rado and Hunker creeks that will proba bly be worked this winter, an average of eight men to each, is, I think, liberal. If ^ut 2,700 menare employed and there are 5,000 or more seeking work, what must b 'ne result? Wages muet go down. . told that much grub has gone ov^. the divide, yet from what I know I would wager my last dollar that not to exceed 500 tons of supplies over and above what is already there, has been carried. I am also told that there is plenty at St. Michaels. So there may be; but after Sopt. 15 it might as well be in New York city, for to try to transport it by dog train or sled over 2,000 miles of ice or river is absolutely impossible. There is not, nor will there ever be a dog train that can take in enough to feed itself over 1.200 miles. Relief is therefore impossible. Over the divide in winter would be quite as difficult : to draw provisions for the trip from Dyea to Dawson any time before the spring breaks up is impossible. Re lief for those caught in the Klondike after winter sets in is,equally impossible, so in the name of humanity I ask that a stop be put to this wholesale transportation of people without supplies. Let no man be allowed to enter that region unless he carries with him enough food and cloth ing to last him a year. There aro women and little children in thero to-day who should be sent as far as St. Miohael before navigation closes. I hear much of the boats that are being built to go up the river, but alide from one steamer ready on Aug. 11, no new boat can be added to the carrying craft this fall. The Klondike ia a bad land of ice and snow as well as a land of gold. Electric Bittors. Electric fitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed when the languid, exhausted feel ing prevails., when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alter ative is felt. A prompt usi of this medi cino has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious foyers- No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison, Headache, Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 50o and 81 00 per bottle at Hill-Orr Prog ?o A~ War-time Feud'S?ttl?d." Gainesville, Ga., Aug. 25?A reun ion of Con federate veterans was held at Lula J unction yesterday.aftornoon. Two of the old soldiers who attended it were James S. Poole, of Gwynett County, and William H. Cape, of Toccoa. They had not met each other for years, and it is very unlikely that either would have attended the reunion had he known the other was coming. During the war they had a falling out over a young woman and fought a duel for her hand while the regiment was in camp near Chattanooga. Neither was se riously wounded and neither got the girl, but the difference between them never was settled, and timo, apparently, did not heal their wounded feelings. When they met yestorday they ignored each other at first, but as the day passed and the refreshments of a liquid sort were generously disponsed, their old ha tred lor each other fiatned up and they made warlike preparations early in the afternoon. Finally they came together and, after a few savage words, Cape pull ed out a pistol and a knife and Poole a knife. Seeing that Poole had no pistol, Cape threw his away, and they attacked each other with their long blades. Cape plunged his knife into the neck of his an tagonist, cutting through the collar bone and severing the jugular vein. Death followed almost immediately. Cape was arrested. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. Suggestion to Check Lynching. To the Editor of the State: The fre quency of lynching is a matter for grave concern. Its reckless disregard ot law and its demoralizing tendency must awaken serious apprehension in the mind of every thoughtful man. The law's delay is no doubt one cause of lynching. The recent lynching in the county of Laurens is a cane in poiut. At the time of the offense t?e regular term of court was in session. The offender was captured and turned over to the ofiioers of the law under the impression that a speedy trial would be had. Unfortunately the grand jury had been dismissed and, under the existing provisions of the law, the case could not be beard until the next regular term of court. The aggrieved and in censed citizens were in no humor for delay and they proceeded to lynch the offender. There ought to be a remedy for this delay and we submit the follow ing suggestion for the consideration of our legislators: Let the general assembly provide by law foi* the holding of special terms of conrt for the immediate trial of cases of a certain nature as they arise. The power of calling tho special term might bo lo d sed with the governor, hedged about with such conditions as the legislature in its wisdom might see proper to impose. The judge of tne circuit should preside, or if be be engaged, the governor, as provided in section six, article five of the Consti tution, can appoint some man "learned in the law" to preside. The law should provide for the immediate summoning of the grand jury and the trial jury of the precedi? g regular term should be required to eerve. The further details will readily present themselves to the legislative mind. Lex. Magnificent Bequests. Many rich men in this country have il lustrated the noble uses of money by en dowing charitable and educational insti tutions and giving largely of their means for the benefit of humanity. The late Daniel F'ayerwoather, of New York, was such a man. Born a poor boy, he accu mulated a fortune of $5,000,000 by bis business zbilitv, enterprise and thrift. He bequeathed $2.100,000 to 20 colleges, as follows: To Amnerst, Bowdoin, Wil liams, Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Hamilton, Rochester, Lincoln and Mary villo col leges, $100,000 each; to the University of Virginia and Hampton Institute, ?100, 000 each; to Lafayette, Marietta, Adei bert, Wabash and Park Colleges, each ?50.000; to Yale, ?300,000; to Columbia and Corr.ell, each ?200,000, and $50,000 to Union Theological Seminary. While the majority of these Institutions are in northern States, it will be seen that Mr Fayerweather's generosity was not bounded by sectional lines, for he gave ?100,000 each to the Universities of Vir ginia, Hampton (Va.) Institute and Mary vili e College, Tennessee. Southern Colleges have received many benefactions from Northern men. Von derbilt University was founded and en dowed by Commodore Vanderbilt; George I. Seney gave splendidly to Emo ry College, Wealeyan College and Lucy Cobb institute in this State, and George I Peabody's millions left to aid the cause of education in the South have been of in calculable benefit to this section. Mr. Slater, of Connecticut, bequeathed ?1,000, 000 for the practical education of negroes in the South, and Chrisman Hall in this \ city is a monument to another big-heart ed friend of the negro. " Since the war many fortunes have been j made in the South, and we may expect that a good part of this accumulated wealth will go to the aid of Colleges. The rich men of the South are surely not more selfish, not less benevolent than those of the North. The Southern Colleges leges are great work for this section and the country. Most of them are poor and would be much more useful if they had sufficient means to enlarge their capacity and improve their faculties. Surely they will not be forgotten by all the mon of wealth in our own part of the country.? Atlanta Journal. ?

New Yokk, Aug. 27.?Thomas Huzzey, the agod citizen of Montgomery, Ala., who was arrested last week in a dazed condition with 930,000 in money and se curities in his pockets, died to-day at the home of his nephew in Brooklyn. lie was more than 80 yearn old. Mr. Huzzey was picked up by a police man, sitting in front of a Broadway bank. The old man had gone into the bank to make a deposit, but when lie appeared at the window of the receiving teller he fum bled about in bis pockets and seemed un able to lind his money.

He was locked upintheToombs prison for the the night to protect his wealth, but was taken away next day by relatives, with whom he has since been staving.
