''We thank our many exchanges for their kind notices concerning the recent change in the management of the Messenger. Our friend Prof. S. P. Boozer, of Greenwood, is booming Grady for VicePresident. The Professor has built a railroad, made a judge, and now wants to try his hand on^N^tjonal affairs. 17 ^ There is some talk of Senator Joe Brown resigning his seat in the Senate, but i{. js not credited.

We are sorrv the Senate, i'? its w isdom, saw Hi to postpone the consideration of Mr. Tillman's pot schemes, viz., he reorganization of the State Board of Agriculture, ami the establishment of an Agricultural College. We believe we would have had some peafce then, and think the measures themselves were entirely unobjectionable. Our Senate thought otherwise, however, and we suppose we must still endure the hue and cry which has made Mr. Tillman so noted. If there is one thing move than another for which he is noted,it is his ability to "rush into print." Mr. Tillman writes >? i. i-ii- 1 v.11, iuuv.ii ui nci man lie *juii mm, anu in all kindness we would advise hiin to leave oil' his abusew of those who dijler from him, if he wants his articles to have propor weight. His latest performance was the analysis, by profession, of the vote in the Senate on hi* bill reorganizing the State Board of Agriculture. The arraying of class against class never results in any good. For our State to be prosperous all interests and all avocations and professions should advance hand in hand. This is the happy condition all should strive for. Brotherly love should characterize our dealings ono with another. One class is mo much better than another, even if they be the bone and sinew of our land, that they can decry and villify any other. We are in full sympathy with the farmers, and our columns are open to any and all of them for the discussion of their interests. No one would be found more willing to assist them in this laudable undertaking than ourselves. But as wo have said before, we believe a great deal of the good they would accomplish is nullified by the class prejudice which their leaders are disposed to show. Do away with this feature and our farmers if they continue their organization, may yet be prosperous and happy. The "Jim Cumuiing" Itobbery St Louis, January ft.?W, W. Haight one of Witrock's accomplices in the train robbery, has furnished the local papers with a written statement of his connection with the affair. He says therein that the loss of his position and his inability to obtain employment forced him to devise koimi> inesns whereby he might provide his wife and child with the necessities of life. To do this he planned the robbery and approached Witrock with the scheme. Witrock beenme enthusiastic over it, and there after took the affair into his hands, and he (llaightj heard nothing more of him until be read .in aixuiiiu oi me rouoery in the papers. Soon after that Witrock sent hi in by Oscar Oook anil summoned him to Leavenworth. There Witrock gave him $10,000. "He say it was Witrock who forged Damsel's signature to the pass which was presented to Fotherrigham, and had the Adams Express letter-head* and envelopes printed.

In a brief interview with Witroclc this morning that worthy gave a bit of information not before made public-, which was to the effect that he stipulated with the detectives that they must lift the mortgage upon his mother's house beforo ho would ''turn upM any of the stolen money. This, he said, they had promised to do and added that it was done when they went out to l^eavenworth, and thus his chief object in robbing the express was accomplished. The mortagage was for $1,700.?Ex. Mr. Charles J. Lyon, one of the most popular of Abbeville's young men, crosses the Rubicon of single blessedness to?day.

Editor <>f Mi*tenger\ All article appeared in the Prtus and lianii'r m v. , ,1! weeks since with this sublime heading "Acute Sensitiveness." It has been tlecii'.eil time and again by the "varible, ecceu111c aii'l Syiioiiive" parties that they would simply treat the article with silent contempt. Hut when forbearance ceases to be a virtue we would like lor the public to know the facts. One "\V. E. It." the assumed writer of the art'eli.'tilings that the School Commissioner committed a wrong by ordering the public school tt> be opened in November simply because his term of otiice was to expire with the year. Did not the School Commissioner who preceded Prof. George C. Hodges authorize the public school to be opened in November 18H4, and his term of oflieu expired with the year? No one accused that commissioner, whose term was expiring of injustice to the incoming official "because the sceptre was ubout to depart from Israel" or rather the more modern application would be because his term of oflice as School Commissioner of i Abbeville County, State of South Carolina, United States of America, and not the Uiii World, was nearly expiree}. If by opening a school in November would suit a neighborhood better I think it would be wrong for the School Commissioner to attempt to oppose it. Prof. Hodges I know was earnest and honest in the cause of public education and it was only b}' the eyes of the dim and prejudiced that he was accused of wrong and it cannot be denied that he exerted ail his energies to promote the mental growth of the youth of his County. Hid term has e.xpii?:1 uud he rests from his labors, and now \\? ean exclaim, ' Well done, good and tailhiul si;r-" vaut. livery man, no matter what may be his vocation, has his enemies and persecutors. The blessed I?ord and Saviour, Jesus Christ w'lio wa> pure and without guile, had his accusers ami critics and. (/ft/ crucifitd llim. ! It we fpe-.-k well of a man we are called i llattorers. if we say nothing men will accus>e us of bei'wg prejudiced, if we speak ill, men will conclude at once tliat we are working spite in the attempt to demolish one's reputation "for the obnoxious, vile and hollow presumption of building up our own. Hut thank id bucli is not permitted. When one imu. seeks to piaoc another in a false light the fierce white i av of .1 ustiiv falls full in the face of the would be accuser; if not at once, it does eventually. The newspnper is 11 ? place to exhibit temper, prejudice and hatred, and the man that is so bold as to do so discovers his mistake sooner or later. At present we see no reason why I "W. E. It." should accuse the teacher of 'Sensitiveness" or hlio.ild attempt to paint this awful stigma '"variable and eccentric" on the heart of the patrons, lie should bear in mind that "a man has cither the good or ili ! qualities he attributes to mankind." The teacher was out of employment and applied for the school and desired it lo open the tirst of November and it was an honest application WaJ it a sin ( 7) against " W. E. It. to apply for a school in November, and cause liiui to lash his pen into fury to vindicate this sin ( ? )'l The School Commissioner had legitimately authorized the schools to wpen in November. Kip Van Winkle like we wake up now, rub our sleepy eyes and ask solemnly, "Was l'rof. George C. llodges School Commissioner the 1st of November IStfti, or tome out tltef" If the patrons were willing to send school why should "W. E. It." interfere. We venture the assertion that if some favorite of *:W. E. It." had applied for the school no doubt lie would have lent him his inttnence. Does "W. E. it." disuutc this'.' When "W. E. It."replied iy his very able article on "Acute Sensitiveness" he had reference lo a card which was published in the i'rtu? and Jlammr shortly after a petition went to press with this beautiful and attractive^ V) heading "Teacher or Children." The card said "they meant no retlectioii on the teacher." "W. E. It." should have gone further and mentioned that the card said also "it was not intended for publication in the JJr<?s and Jianner." The publication of the petitiou, pshaw! 1 forgot "protest" was altogether unnecessary and by all means ] uncalled for. 1'robably it will be necessary to say here that the petition was published in ?h;. / ?....- / /- -f v i _ " ... vuv *.
