CHARTER OAK STOVES, The undersigned committee appointed to examine cooking .stoves and ranges at the South Carolina State Fair of 1887, respectfully report that wj? have carefully examined the CHARTER OAK STOVES and RANGES on exhibition and in operation and believe them far superior to any other stoves or ranges of which we have knowledge We find that baking and roasting in the wire gauge oven, used only in the Charter Oak, is done with the smidlest amount of labor. The meats retain their natural juices and flavor and nearly their full weight. Broiling inside the oven, where we saw steaks and oysters ■ broiled, is simply the perfection of broiling. [Signed.] R.

There jvas a bitter truth in the fa mous saying that Americans are the most schooled and the least taught of nations. The prevalence of cheap pa pers, scattering of “popular ^science” journals and primers, the success of the “lyceum lecture” systems, point, it seems to us, to a want rather than a fullness of intellectual life. These en tertainments teach a man not to think, but to dispense with thinking. Hood’s definition of “misinformation” as “a higgedly-piggeldy v\ ant of intelligence, acquired by young ladies at boarding,” might be enlarged to cover the mental acquisitions of most of us in the day school of our hurried existence—Har per’s Bazaar. The largest cotton mill in the world is said to be located at Kranholm, in Russia. The establishment contains 340,00 spindles and 2,200 looms, dis poses of a force of 6,300 h orse power and gives employment to 7,000 hands. in the rest of the country. The num ber of farm animals in the South in 1870 was 28,754,000, and in 1887 the number had risen to 44,830,000. Com paring the yields of 1879 and 1887 there was an increase of 1,044,000 bales of cotton and 195,150,000 bu shels of grain, the total grain produc tion in the South in 1887. 626,305,000 bushels against 431,000,000 bushels in 1869, an increase of 55 per cent, while in all the rest of the conutry the in crease in grain production was only 16,000,000 bushels, or less than 1 per cent, though live stock in 1887 shows an increase of value over that of 1879 of $182,238,299, and of agricultural productions of $170,968,006. Texas Trouble by a Surplus. Austin, Tex; , March 23.—Governor Ross has announced his intention call an extra session of the Legisla in a few days for the purpose of di mining what disposition shall be of the treasury surplnfi when the 000,000 of indemnify, just voted by Congress, reaches Texas. The surplus by the time of the regular meeting of the Legislature, a year hence, will be more than three million- dollars, and the Government does not feel justified in carrying that large surplus. The special session will also be authorized to take action in regard to the Greer County boundary line* The Legisla- tuie will bi called to meet about the middle of April, in time to inspect and investigate the new capitol; prior to its dedication during the Inter- State dril 1 in May. The Baptist of South Carolina are making an effort to raise an addition al fifteen Ihousand dollars to the en dowment fund of Furman University, and last Sunday was set apart by sev eral churches in the Saluda Associa tion to raise its quota (one thousand dollars) of the amount.
