A terrific hurricane has passed
over oar South Atlantic States,
?caving in its path the destruction
of bright hopes, Ike loss of millions
of dollars pf property, and saddest
of all^ giving to the angel of deaths
dozens of victims, who a few
Jays ago were blessed with health
una strength and a prospect of iong
3ife. Out waving fields ?-f corn,
rich in lite promise of a great har
vest, hare been leveled with the
?earth and drowned in many places
by the angry floods. Destruction
!*aa come into our midst and robl>ed
the sons of toil of the fr uits of
their labor. In one short night
?the peaceful aad serene face of our
country wa$ scarred and furrowed:
My the great West Indian Monster
.Tiat ti-e storm has passed awray;
?the gentle zephyrs of our mild
clime again pass over the track of
the storip cloud. The sun again
r*hines as brightly as ever, and as
?we can not help the past we must
:meet the future. Nuw is no time
? y i
?to despair and supinely foid our
rjirms, but like brave, true men, ro
? double our elforts and by industry
and pluck and energy bring abjut
prosperity in our midst.
It i.j. said of Napoleon that upon
one occasion his troops had been
feaif a My cut op, and terribly pun
ished by the enemy, losing^courage
he turned to his drummer and or
?derfcd him to beat a retreat. *'Sir,"
r<&id the drummer, "I know not
itow to tKss>t a retreat, but I can
?beat the charge that was beat at
rLodi and on a hundred successful
rfields, whisch will cause the very
^dead to aise up and fight for
Fr ance." He beat thfe soul stirring
?charge and the fiel# was won.
vShall we, the sons of South Caro
Jina,~k?tfw^ how to despair? Shall
2>ot we Ik? equal to the street gam
iin of Paris who beat the drum for
Napoleon.? We^have in times gone
by, borne all that men could bear,
and though" we have received a ter
rific blow, we still should shout
forward^ and intend to suceed if
life he spared us.
Books for the Public Schools. J
Unndcr the Jaw th? Suaie B&ird
<>f -Examinees are require d to adopt
every five years a number of series
of text hooks, from whfehlist Uie
county Boards adopt a single stand
ard to be usee! ip the public schools
pf their respective countiee. ''?The
firat adoption was made in 13S8,
?consequently this is the year for
another.
The State Board now have the
question under advisement. After
several days they adjourn
ed until September 5th when a final
:determrnatirtn will^e reached.
The only adopttan made so fur
4s that of Chapmau's History cf
?Carolina. This book was written
by a South Carolinian, J. A. Chap

is a commendalite act to patronize

\ But when it comes to the oth^r
branches, it is to be hoped that
-.there will be very few changes.
There a?e one or two which pro
gress and advanced ideas dejnand
should be mac??, but each change
involves a cost cf thousands of dol
' ' -i
:i ars to the school patrons of the
State, and our people are now in no
^condition to make any sach outlay.
A scheme has been suggested by
Pres. Craighead, of C.emson Col
lege, for the establishment of de
positories in each county under the
charge of the school commissioner
ior disbursing books. The plan is
some what like the "dispensary."
but we do not believe that it could
??be as successfully operated, as the
same safeguards could [not be
thrown around it as control the
liquor traffic, and w-j would regret

What has become of the money ?
This seems to be a pertinent ques

(From our regular correspondent ] '*
Washington. Ad^ 29, J803.
No;surpn$e was felt by anybody
whenj the .fio'ise passed the bill for
the (unconditional repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
silver law. So nearly all of tbe
members had announced in advance
how they would vote that the re
sult was a foregone conclusion days
ago. The man who accepts this
action of the House as ac indica
tion that a majority of its members
oppose silver as money makes a
n*istake. It indicates nothing of
the kind. On the1 contrary, an
overwhelming majority of the
House favors hi racialism, as will be
shown by further legislation.
Those who voted for repeal did so
because they agreed with Presi
dent Cleveland in believing that
tjie purchase of si'rer bullion by
the government was the main caose
of the country's financial troubles
and Lb at it ought to be stopped, if
for no other reason, because the
business setuiment of the country
is so strongly opposed to it.
Altihoughr the Wilson repeal bill
will now go to the Senate it is not
probable that it will be acted uj>
on, because the Vorhees repeal bill
with the clause declaring bi
metal ism to be the policy of the
Untied" State?, is already before the
Sen ate,, and is more preferable to
the democratic leaders in the Senate.
Althoughsthe opponents of unconS
ditional repeal still maintain a
bold front in the Senate, since the
great silver \ speeches of Senators
Vorhees and Hill, last week, both
of whom took strong, ground in
favor of repeal, \ the sentiment in
favor of repeal, has been sieadily
growing, and it is now the generul
opinion that a majority of the Sen
ate will vote for repeal when the
bill can be voted upon, but when
that will be no man can safety
predict, ceritainly not until ? after
there shall have been one of the
most, memorable struggles in the
annals of the Senate, as the Sena
tors from the silver producing?
Slates will make use of every
known parliamentary weapon to pre
vent a vote.
The new rules for the House are
a decided iuiproevment upon those
of the last session, although the
changes have been fe\v, Although
t ~
few in number the changes are im
portant and were all made with
one object in view ? tbe lessening
of tbe power of fillibnslerers to do
mischief. One of the. most far
reaching oi| the changes is that
which makes ? one hundred a
quorum when the House is silling
| t?8 a conjuniitee authority to ^limit
debute, an authority which under
the rules of th&iast Congress? had
Vi be obtained from the House,
which could not act without the
presence of a- constitutional!
qtho-nm..
The Scncjte has been, in aocprd
*nce wiil^ .it's usual practice of
taking tilings easy, adjourning
fi<bn Friday to Monday each" wo k,
lu|t Senators Vorhees and. Mr
Pferfcor, of the Finauce committee
h^vv given notice of ;the in ten Lion
ofWiat iforaraittee to oppose the
loss t^&fcinolher worUi'iig day unlil
the twrk bi'lli reported fr^ro the
committed shall have been disposed
of, .Tbe fwo bills are those for the
increase c? national bank currency,
and the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman bill. The
first now has the right cf v. fty, but
Senator Vorhees has said that he
would move to side-track c it and
take up the repeal bill if any dis
position is shown to use it to post
pone action on the repeal bill.
Secretary Herbert can see no
good reason why an agent of the
Carnegie Steel Company, even
though that agent he a naval
officer i:on leave" shall be furnished
tree of charge with a desk in the
ordnance bureau of the Navy De
partment, where be has access to
all the plans of the department,
so he has notified Lieutenant,
Charles A. Stonp, the Carnegie
agent that he can no longer use
the Navy department building for
his private oriice.
President Cleveland returns to
Washington this week to remain
until the clrse of the extra session
and when that will be depends on
the Senate. . .
It bos not yet been definitely de
cided whether the House shall go
right ahead with general legislation
or wail for the Senate to act upon
the silver question, but it will be
this week.
The House Ways and Means
committee will, at its meeting this
week, map out a tariff program
and decide whether the tariff shall
j be revised upon the information
now at hand or hearings be granted
lo those interested in proposed
changes.
The committee on Banking aiid
1 Currency will this week decide
J whether a bill for the repeal of the
j tax on state bank currency shall
j be favorably reported to the House.
. It is stated that a majority of the
j committee is opposed to re-peal at
this time*. -largely because of the
disturbed financial condr;ion of the
country.
The ^>1<1 Stocking.
If tha 01:1 Storing d >es not suspend
ppyraent v.e are all right. It is clear
that our treasures of cold and silver and
tondg and things are in the stocking,
and our hope is centered there. This ar
rangement of blue yarn, or otherwise, is
now our sheet-anchor, as it were. We
look upon its well distended ''fjot" and
"lee," garnering the richness of the
earth , with a consciousness that it will
pay ICO cents on the dollar. It is with
feeling akin to pleasure that we observe
the swelling "calf" of the Old Stocking;
stuffed, as it ajgpean to be, like the fat
ted calf of old."
The hoarding of money in this old time
safety deposit vault, tied with a string,
Has a tendency to hamper the circulat
ing medium of the country, and for thai
reason! we must withhold our ur.qoaliBed
approval of it as a leaking institution.
Good luck attend the Old Stocking sad
hold it firm against "runs" and panic*.

CtlST OP THE JQSmiS. L
Barnwell Sfrntinelf There ai e tliirfy
five counties in South Carolina , which',
according to the provisions of the Di^pei*
sary law, are entitled to two spies or col
stables each, at $t tier day. This roak|^
an annual outlay #ii ihe part of the Stifcf*
of $51,100. ; Has is how the money goes.
In some of the counties the pales of li
quor have just about paid expenses.
The legislature appropriated $-50,000 to
purchase liquors, and it is estimated that
$250,000 worth of stuff; with bottles, jug-s,
corks, etc,, havfe been bought. Itie
probable that our lawmakers will be
asked by ihe governor to make an
additional appropriation to foot/bills, and
if it is done all calculating people wj'l

Florence Times: Fiorene2 n?ast have
a <?otton Caetoiy. This enterpiist^ hits
been contemplated long enougii. tThe
men to bpild it are the men whosSTuve
lihood depends on the sale of cotton.
Half a century ago JohnNC. Calhoun,
who seemed to be familiar with every
subject of practical importance in lite,
aOvjsed every planter who raised a hun
dred bales of cotton to build a varn mill.
? ? ~ m % ? l?
Lxperience since tliat day has taught cis
the wisdom of his advice- Cotton Jn
factory towns almost invariably sells
from a fraction to, a cent higher than in
towns where there is no factory.
Cotton Plant: Reports are coming iin
from all over tlte State of the great ac
tivity in AJlianca work that is permeat
ing the whole body of farmers. Picnics
are being held in almost everv neighbor
hood under the auspices of su^>- Alliances
at which the all absorbing questions of
the day are discussedr They are largely
attended and tlie speakers are doing
great work in educating the people.
Charleston Sun : There rs. an "interest
ing story behind the name ot^black
Maria," says the Savannah ^ress In
colonial day3 Maria Lee , a gigantit^fc*
gress, kept a sailors' boarding house iio
Boston ? At one time she took without
assistance three drunken_sailors to the
lockup. The authorities came to relv
on her aid in arresting sailors, and 4 bine k
Maria' became a synonym for a convey
ance to the lockup."
Anderson Intelligencer : *rov Tillman
let his tongue and bad temper get ahead ;
of his judgement again iti his utterance
about arming the State'3 constables ,= and
ordering them to shoot down citizens
and imprudent boys who attempt to make
adittle sport of such oflictrfsr- There is a
proper way to tnfore? all law, and if
Governor Tillman will got competent
men. who will do their duty in a pru lemt
way, he will have no troable in enlorc:
in? the law , and will be backed by ail
law-abiding citizens of the Siatc. -j
Newt;erry Observer : Why don't citi
zens who believe in the Populists' dor
trines more than In Democracy come out
boldly am*. call themselves Populists?
That would be the tnor^manly course ;
and, if the doctrines of that party are
ever to prevail, that is also the best poli
cy. Who wouldn't prefer to be a charter
member of a good organization rather
than to wait and jet others ^et the credit;?
We like to see men -stand by their own
convictions.
Atlanta Journal: The decision of the
senate in what is known as the Lee Man
tle case, settle?, lor the present at lea^
a ver\ impoitant matter of constitutional
right.
The senate, by its v?te, declared that
Lee Mantle, who was appointed a sena
tor by the governor of Montana afte? th^
legislature failed to elect, is not entitled
to a seat in the senate. The decision
? I " ' ~
disposes also of the Washington case,
which is exactly parallel, and the legis
latures of Montana and Wash ingtorv and
Wyoming will have to fill the vac&hcies
in their senatorial <tel eg.it ions.
The senate did not divide on either
party lines or upon the lines of the finan
c:al question in settling this case. The
long debate, which began in the Spring
session of the senate and continued down
to the hour of voting, turned solely on
the constitutional right of a governor to
fill a vacancy left unfilled by the legis
lature of the Statc\ Free coinage men,
anti-?ilvor man, Populists, Republicans
and Democrats united in depriving a
governor ot that right.
Barnwell People: Chancellor B<?vg
is always interesting, whether in private
conversation or public speech . lie was
especially pleasing and interesting
in his Stone Mountain speech.
He gave an encouraging account of can
ning factories in South Carolina. lie
told of the success of one at Winnsboro ,
managed exclusively by ladies. He
mentioned another in a town not very
far from WiujAboro operated by men.
The presidenl^Jlgaged to take all-the
okra a certain firmer could raise on thir
ty acres at oo cents per bushel The
fanner bejfan to deliver the okra, by the
two horse wc-gjn load. He delivered
and was paid until he had received ?3,000
to $3 ,500 in cash. One day the presi
dent said to the farmer: "What will
i vou take for the remainder of your crop?
"Thirty-five hundred dollars," was the
prompt reply,
"What will you take to cease deliver
ing okra to us and permit the contract to
be cancelled ?"
"Two thousand dollars."
"Here's you money," said the presi
dent, at the same time breathing a sigh
of relief.
