The events of the last six months have revealed more geography to the generality of readers,, than they would have learned from the schools in ton years. Not many, before Dewey’s victory, knew anything about the Philippine Islands. Now, pvoplo of ordinary intelligence are as familiar with them, as they are with some of our own States. During the past month another group of islands has suddenly arisen into geographical importance, and attention is directed again to the far away Pacific. The Samoan Islands lie South of the iquator in latitude 13 14. so they, too, are in the tropics. They are insignificant in extent and population, the whole of them embracing about 1,700 square miles and containing about 30,000 inhabitants. So, they are not greater in extent or population tInin two or three of our ordinary counties. The natives are superior in physi cal and intellectual development to the Fillipinos and even to the Cubans. They are of I'olj nesian origin, and most of them are Christ ians—Roman Catholic and Protest ant. They are said to be handsome, shrewd, and ingenious. In 1885), the I’nited Stales, Ger many and Great Hritiun signed a treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of the islands and equality of rights to the citizens of each of the signa tory powers, in the matter of resi dence. trade and protection. These three powers allow the na tives to elect their own king, but they appoint the chief justice of Samoa, whoso court decides all cases affecting property, all differences be tween natives and foreigners, and between foreigners 'of different na tionalities. If we understand the situation, the existing trouble has grown out of the workings of this court, and the Ger man authorities are accused of insti gating the rebellion. The United States invested $100,- 0<X) In establishing a coaling station there, and spent $1,000,000 in carry ing out her part of the treaty. The latest news is to the effect that the three powers have come to an agreement, and that there will be no further trouble. colokko Mean s. Kev. Richard Carroll and President Miller, of the Negro College, are the two leading men of their race in South Carolina. Indeed they are men who are an honor to any race. If the negroes are ever to be led out of the wilderness of ignorance and moral degradation into the Canaan of honor and prosperity it must be un der the leadership of such men. Carroll ia a IJjptist preacher and along with efforts for the spiritual welfare of his people his broad mind s full of schemes for their temporal and material advancement. He was the originator of the idea of a reform atory for youthful criminal*, which we believe our last legislature took into consideration. It i* in abeyance now, but it is one of the coining in- stitutious. Carroll 'jus now’conceived a project which does honor to his head and heart, and which, if {accomplished, will mean much to the colored peo ple. It is the establisment of un industrial school near Columbia for negro children under sixteen years of age, and Carroll is pushing the scheme with his accustomed energy and intelligence. He has already purchased a farm of ninety acres for $4,1)00, the money being contributed by a northern lady who v.as passing through Columbia. He has ap proached the business men of Colum bia and they have promised liberal aid. He wants to raise $2">,000 at once, and increase it to $50,000 later, and says that if he can get a good i-tart in Columbia he will be sure of bountiful help at the north. Such an institution properly con ducted will be a strong fac tor in re claiming and elevating the young negroes now growing up in idleness and ignorance, and in a few years will count in the amelioration of the conditions of the race. KIIITOK1AL EXCUKFTH. There are now about nine hundred patients in our State hospital for the Insane. At the last monthly meet ing of the Hoard of Regents several improvements were inaugurated. Col. Dryan U still making himself heard on the silver question. He thinks the free silver sentiment is as strong as ever, and that the demo cratic party will stand by the Chi cago platform. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The legislature of Pennsylvania has been trying for weets to make (^uny United States senator. Now a judicial court is trying to make him an honest man. The work of the court ought to have been done first. They now call the Filipinos in surgents. If our authorities really want a good, honest name for them— a name which will be appropriate, honest, and not misleading—we sug gest that they he called the PATRIOTS. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Comptroller General will in a few days disburse the $00,000 placed in the treasury by the dispensary to the credit of the school fund. Owing to some technicality or some other factor unknown to us, Cherokee will get none of this money. There is great demand for cattle in Cuba. Charleston has recently ship ped 300 head, and the Mississippi Valley is making large shipments by way of New Orleans and Texas. This business promises greatly to stimu late cattle raising in the south. Dun A Co.’s weekly review repre sents business of all kinds in the United States as prospering and ex panding beyond all precedent. This is gratifying in a general way, but let it be remembered that the general prosperity can of itself only slightly and remotely affect the merchants and farmers of Cherokee county. Their prosperity will come only in response to individual efforts and wise planning. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The little town of Palmetto, Geor gia, is having a reign of lawlessness and mob violence. It will be remem bered that several negroes were lynched there a short time ago for incendiarism. Recently a negro named Hose murdered a white farmer named Cranford and outraged his wife. The negro fled and at last ac counts three hundred armed men had him surrounded in a dense and extensive thicket, and there was little prospect of his escape. In the mean time armed guards are patrol- ing the town, v ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Rake City lynchers are not having altogether smooth sailing in the United States court. Several witnesses, who say they were afraid to tell what they knew at the in quest. swear positively to the iden tity of some of the accused with those seen at Raker’s house, while the two who turned State’s wit nesses relate filll particulars of the horrible tragedy and identify all of the men engaged. It remains to be seen whether all this damaging, di rect testimony will be overwhelmed by the seventy witnesses for the de fence, who are to follow. ♦ ♦ 4- ♦ The reunion of the veterans in Charleston on the JOth of May and the celebration at Cowpens on tbe 27th are the two events that now ap peal to the patriotic sentiment of our people. The railroads will offer rates of one cent a mile to Charleston, and everybody who can ought to go. It will probably be tbe biggest re union that has taken place since the war, and it is very certain thipt there will never be another such until the veterans are all gathered on “the eternal camping grounds.’’ Our peo ple, too, ought to take a special in terest in the Cowpens celebration. Let everybody who loves his country make up his mind to be at Cowpens on the 27th of May and to devote one day to patriotism and the glorious memories of the past.

(Correspondence ot The Ledger.) Near Aixioon P. O., April 17.—The sad mouth of April is again with d and it is sad today to us who live by planting and harvesting in a pros pective sense. No farm work of any consequence has yet been done and much of the small grain crop looks very unpromising. But there is noth ing in this that gives us cause for murmuring. It is, however, in a retrospective sense that this month brings us tho weightier sense of sad ness. This month, thirty-eight years ago, the great civil war between the South and North began by tiring up on Fort Sumter. Of its consequences we propose now to say nothing, but only pause a moment for serious re flection. Some of its incidents placed me, along with many others, a priso ner of war on Johnson’s Island, in Lake Erie, near Sandusky City. Ohio. I said “many others,” ami so there were, about thirty-live hundred of us incarcerated there; all commissioned officers from any rank, Lieutenant to Major General. No exchange of prisoners, only some special favorit ism being allowed by the Federal government. This was the policy that struck the death blow to th** southern cause. Bub 1 tun not grieving over the result of the war, but my sadness arises from tho fact that misrepresentations, so gross and so numerous, have so wrongfully been charged to the confederate sol dier and the cause that led to such u war. But pardon this digression and let me return to my home on Lake Erie. Muj. 1). R. Duncan, of Spar tanburg, and several other South Carolinians were there. I kept an autograph album in which I kept the names and addresses of most all my immediate associates. They were from every southern state, and some few sympathizers whose homes were on the northern side. On my album I carefully noted every one who from the inside of the prison took the oath of allegiance (which all were invited to take) before our armies surren- dend and not a single South Caroli nian’s name appeared on my album who did so. and only six names ap peared on it altogether, and I tried to get them all during my stay of fifteen months. But the fatal month of April, 18G5 came. On the morning of the S)th I got up early, as usual, and saw evi- dencies of great joy among the sol diers who kept guard around the prison inclosure. Stepping to the front door I heard u grout shout from the outside. The soldiers on guard nearest our barracks shouted to me, ‘ Oh Johnnie. Gen. Lee has surren dered.” I told the news to Maj. Gus man, my nearest chum. In his pe culiar way he said, “It is a lie! and I’ll tell them so when I get up.” All day long the great Hag floated high ut the top of tho tall mast pole. “Hail Columbia” and the “Star Spangled Banner” rang in our ears all day long ami a deep feeling of great con- ctYn was apparent in the counte nances of all prisoners on the island. All day long on the liHh the flag floated on high. On the morning of the 11th I again got up early. I first looked for the flag. Its long folds lay resting in the dust and an unu sual silence prevailed everywhere. It was certain some great event had happened during the last twontv- four hours. 1 called to Muj Gusman again and told him what 1 could see. “I told you,” said he, “they were telling us lies.” Very soon I saw Col. Hill, the then present comman der, coming through the small gale that opened into the prison. He held in bis bunds a bundle of papers. They were telegrams from Washing ton. He went at once in great haste to the centre of the prison enclosure where he had erected a small stand, from which all the news of interest was published to us each day. He mounted the stand and began to beckon to all whom he saw at that early hour to come to him. A great rush was made for him and soon five hundred or more of us were around him, pale and full of anticipation. He began: “Gentlemen,” said he, (for he never culled us rebels), “I come at this early hour in your own interest. 1 know you see from the condition of our flag this morning that something gravely wrong has taken place within the last few hours among us on the outside, and I feared before you were aware of its nature some demonclrutions of joy among you might manifest itself, in which event 1 would be unable to restrain my men from turning loose their guns upon you.” Looking then for the first tinm toward the artillery block houses, of which there were four, one at each corner of the prison enclosure, each containing one fourth section ot artillery, we saw that the port holes were thrown open and tho guns were hearing down upon the center of the prison. Tho slightest demonstration of joy on our part would have provoked them to fire upon us, they were so wrought up over the tragedy which Col. Hill had hurriedly come in to tell to us, for the Colonel was a kind and consider ate soldier and gentleman. “Gentle men.” he continued, “u great and terrible tragedy was enacted last night in tho city of Washington. Mr. Lincoln the president of tiie United State’s, was assusinated. and this nation today is lying under a pail of gloom and sadness the nature of which it has never experienced be fore. I know as gentlemen you will mourn with us when you are ac quainted with the facta and a fuller history of this great man over his uolimely death. A great and good man has fallen urd as a constquence there is sadnesa today as fur as the name of Abraham Lincoln is known.” n. n. d. \V.»ri»er Show* linprovt tiu-nt.

The young ladies manifest much interest In floricult ure and visit tho propagating house daily In large numbers. One of the rare plants in bloom there now is a terrestial orchid, a native of South America. This plant now has six blossoms and an other bloom will appear in a few days. The flower of this orchl is believed to bo a link between the vegetable and the animal kingdoms.

In a learned article in the miscellany of the Anthropological society of Vienna he proves from an examination of some prehistoric remai * at Knovixc, in Bo hemia, that the people who buried them were cannibals, not from need, bat from choice, and that they preferred the flesh of their own relatives, especially if yonng and tender, to that of their ene mies. He also contends, and most an thropologists seem to agree with him, that the eating of hnman flesh waa in prehistoric times spread all over Bnrope, the practice being first induced by scarcity of other food, next by prefer ence, and was finally persisted in for religions, or rather ceremonial, reasons.
