We venture to say there is not an other firm in the South who carries a lrer or better stock of doors, sash, blinds, and general building material than this one, nor who can compete with them in prices. The busy sea son is about to begin and considera ble building will necessarily be done throughout the country this fall, and those who wish to purchase anything in this line will do well to order from afirmaso well known as George B.

When a young man leaves a bome of wealth and ease to battle alone for his living among strangers, and by sobriety, integrity, hard work, and honest dealing, raises himself in 8 abort months to the front rank of the native business men of his newly adopted city, not only should the en tire population of his native county look upon him with pride but the1 community at large should, and we believe will, appreciate the noble ex ample set the youth of the country, especially those who are inclined to leave their native State to better their conditions.

Cole, of the Fork, had a very fine blooded colt killed a few days since, by mules, in the same pasture. Mr. Cole says the ground showed every sign of the struggle and race by the colt for its life, but was finally run down and had its throat so lacerated that death soon followed. He says the little animal was an unusually fine and beautiful one, for which he would not have taken one hundred and fifty dollars. Heedless Boys. Some of the glasses in private resi dences and in store windows bear the marks of our boys armed with their sling shots. It is a dangerous and vicious practice in our streets, and lia ble at.any time not only to injure prop erty, but to jeopardize the security of persons on the streets, more especial ly young children who are passing to and fro so very frequently. No one would accuse the boys of a malicious desire to do harm; they only engage in this obnoxious pastime for sport. It is none the less hurtful; and should not be allowed where such conse quences could result. Jordan. The Jordon people have a right to look with pleasurable satisfaction on the thrift and enterprise manifested all around. The sound of the saw and hammer tell the passer-by that I they all mean business. Since the railroad reached that point several new buildings have been built, or are in course of erec tion now. The Wilson Short Cut when completed will shorten the route between Charleston and New York sixty miles, which in our day of rapid transit when minutes have such value, will be a gain of impor tance.

The Newberry Obere says: "Why should Governor Richardson be regarded as an 'opponent of the farmers'? The Gov ernor is a farmer; and, except during the war when he was a Confederate soldier, has alwy been a farmer. He may not agree with te doctrines of what is known as the 'farmers' movement,' or he may. Governor Richardson is an honest man; he is a true man, and as pure a patriot as South Caro lina hasor has ever had. And whatever opinion he may entertain, he is not an 'op ponent of the farmers'". And a writer in the Keowee (ourier defines the Governor's stand thus: "I would like to kaow which side Governor Richardson takes in the Clemson College. I think he is like the man who was out hunting and thought he saw a deer. Then he thought it was a colt. He said he would shoot anyhow, and if it was a colt he would shoot to miss, and if a deer he would shoot to kill it.

B. R Tillman made a personal and abusive speech in Charleston last week, that would reflect little credit on any one. Had he not returned to Charleston, he would in the estima tion of many, have stood much high er. Capt. Dawson met his charges, and came off best man. He termed the people of Charleston arrant cow ards, and blamed them for "not even killing a nigger," boasting that he had participated in the Hamburg af fair. His speech was rather void of saneness. We copy from the Sum ter Advance a condensed report of the occasion: At last these doughty champions have met and broken a lance in the political lists. The Captain's organ plays such a lively tune over the affir that it is evident he regards it as a success for him. We are glad the thing is done and over with, and nobody hurt except, it may be by the good mutual tongue-lashing that the champions gave one another. But to the story. At 8.4V o'clock on Tuesday evening, while heavy masses of threatening clouds filled the heavens above Capt. Tillman, who says he fears neither God, man, or devil as to certain subjects and on certain occasions, faced a crowd of 2,000 people from the portico of the City Hall tn Char leston. Dr. A. W. Eckle introduced the speaker with remarks to the effect that at a recent meeting in that city a riot had oc curred which had besmirched the fair fame of that eminently respectable town, and that as an atonement for this outrage on decency, some ot the Charleston Democracy had invited Ben to return and give them a talk which the speaker engaged should not be interrupted as at the precious meeting.. Tillman mounted the rostrum and began his speech to a crowd that had increased to about 3,000 according to the N. & C., 4,000 according to the World. He began by re ferring to his fighting capacities, which he said were large as compared with his power to preach, and then proceeded to advocate honest government and freedom from ring rule. He said the people of Charleston were peculiar in the depth and extent of their cowardice and submission to this sort of rule. He swore that if the sort of thing that was quietly submitted to in Charleston were even attempted in Edgefleld, the party ittempting it would be lynched. He also swore about the taxes Charleston people paid, and alleged that they only stood it be :ause they were getting rich off of Edgefleld d other backwoods settlements. He al ieged that every city of over 5,000 people in the State-was ruled by a ring. In Char eston it was worse than anywhere else. [hey must stop sending fat lawyers to leg slate for them and put fat farmers in their place. ML'ey must get rid of the surplus legislators thev'now Laave, or else he (Be) ind his aohorts would suspect them of steal ing their money. He swore to God that the people were putting themselves in the mine because they were afraid of the Yetcs ad Courier, umd accused Capt. Dawson of having legs ong enough to reach from Georgetown to Beaufort and feet large enough to eover both those towns or counties. He also said that the gallant Captain was not fit to lick his boots or those of his hearers. He com pared Capt. Dawson to the old man of the sa, and the State to Sinbad. He then pro eeded to show up, as he called it, Dlaw pos litical and personal record. He called te captain a big buzzard-he read his letter to Woodruff in 1808, and other, matter, editorials principally from the DrTiy eos, and extracts from, the frauds' ommittee report, with most of which our people are already familiar. Meanwhile a ieseger had been dispatched down Broaid street to the Sewos aind Courier office to tell the Captain that Tillman had begun a per sonal attack on him. Responding prompt Ly, Capt. Dawson appeared mounting the stepofthe city hall and said he desired to interrupt the speaker. Tillmnan was evi dently surprised but he came to the scratch wa said he would be glad to hear what the gentleman had to say. Capt. Dawson then aid he had come to meet his accuser fae to fce, and answer him, leaving the ver fict to the judgment of his fellow citizens. H then took a seat awaiting the close of [llman's speech. That worthy' producer of black eyes and funerals on slight provo cation, went on to comment on the Ham burg massacre and the-to our mind-cour ageous and proper stand taken by the Sewos sad Courier on that subject, which was, how ever, too much for the "one-eyed perch" of this new "what will he do with it, who said he and other Edgefield gentlemen had saved the State by means of that riot and massacre, having "dared even the devil to save the State." The speaker then instituted a compari son of Dawsonism and Tillmanism much to the advantage of his side, of course, and wound up by relating the old story of the jackass-howitzer as employed by the army oficer against the Indians. Capt. Dawson then replied to the gentle men from Edgefield in his characteristic style. As to the charge of political dishon esty he referred to the fact that while in 187 he opposed the straightout Democratic movement he was in accord in his views with a large number of the best men of South Carolina, but that when the move ment was determined on he threw all his ability, energy and the influence of his pa per to support the cause. He challenged criticism and referred to his record as to1 personal honesty. Referring to the Wood ruff incident Capt. Dawson said that the in vestigating committee had completely ex onerated the Keres and Courier. Woodruff was engaged by him as agent and corres pondent at Columbia but when he got on to Woodruffs and Jones's corrupt doings he ex exposed them and that was what caused the stir and resulted in the appointment of the frads investigation committee. Had he anything to conceal would he have so ex posed Woodruff? He was charged by Tillman as being a supporter of ring rule and of the effete aris tocracy in power. To this he replied that it was'only Mr. Tillman's opinion, but if standing up for the best people of the State and for white supremacy meant ring rule he would plead guilty to the soft impeach ment. He characterised Tillmnanism as sy nonymens. with "exagerationl." He said that Tilian was uncertain of his facts, vague in his charges and loose in his state ments. All in all his reply was well timed and the argument a good one and was most en thusiastically received by the large audience present. If the "gentlemen from Edgefleld" aptured Charleston it
