* The Tillman-McLauria sensation has subsided, and it is generally con sidered that Tillman holds the strategic point of advantage. When it comes to a game of bluffing, Sena tors, Governors, Congressmen, or what not, had better let Tillman alone. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The State Reformatory for youth ful convicts has recently gone into joperation. It is located on one of the farms near Columbia, on the Lexington side of the river, and opens with eighteen colored youths present for duty. We think this is a wise and humane movement on the part of the State, and we hope the results will be all that its most ardent advo- [cates could wish. A few good sound thrashings, however, administered by the proper ones at home, would per haps have done most of these boys more good than a year’s sojourn in the Reformatory. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The city of Columbia is about pass- ling an ordinance forbidding the blow ing of railroad whistles within the corporate I'mits. The Spartanburg Herald congratulates the city on fol lowing the lead of Spartanburg in this matter und the State handsomely responds that the city is proud to follow such a town occasionally. Gaffney has had this law for about [two years, and it has been rigidly en forced’and we think it is about as useless a law as the town has ever had on its statute books. The mills within the city limits are permitted to blow their whistles, and every | other enterprise, business or relig ious, is permitted to make all the noise it is capable of making. We j see no sense nor profit in silencing the locomotive whistles. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Col. Neal, former superintendent of the penitentiary,has been found guilty |of the charges preferred against him lof failing to turn over penitentiary jfunde to bis successor within thirty lays after his retirement from office. The penalty is tl.OOO fine and not lore than 12 months imprisonment. >f course there was a motion for a iew trial, and of course, if that be Refused, there will be an appeal to the supreme court, while all the time lympathy is gathering to the accused, ind his misdeeds are being condoned lor forgotten. This is the course that [legal justice tukes with men of posl tion and influence. The Columbia Htate thinks that Col. Neal made a mistake in not seeking a high posi tion In the dispensary instead of the ! penitentiary. He might have used Put Mctrtlmr Kx|>lalns HU ^ttnUlou In Hit' Mntu-r. Editor:—I am not in the if seeking notoriety by filling your columns with little personal matters, but in as much as Mr. W. 1’. Tolbert has written an article ac cusing me of corruption in the man agement of the I'ublic School at buffalo 1 feel that it is my duty as Superintendent of Education to deny In toto every assertion or insinuation made by him as to my action in that district or any other section of the county. Referring to the manage ment at Ruifalo he says, “Not one of the trustees has been pleased with it.” The county board, of which 1 am chairman, appointed three gen tlemen who were recommended as suitable for the position, and, so far as I know, they have been strictly honest in every contract they have made and in every claim they have signed. This board of trustees has full charge and control of every dol lar belonging to Buffalo district and the county treasurer dare not pay out a dollar without their approval. Why they should be displeased with my management I do not understand, for they.have never made complaint to me nor have they tendered their resignations, as they have a perfect right to do. One of them did say to me once that he thought it might be better for me to appoint some one else in his place, but he then con sented to hold on till further notice. Mr. Tolbert seems to heap the whole weight of corruption and stealing on the County Superintendent of Educa tion, and yet he has not itemized a single dollar, nor have the trustees, the Grand Jury, or the Compt. Gen eral ever lound a cent wrong. The fact is, 1 can no more touch the money that belongs to Buffalo than I can touch any other fund that belongs to the county. Mr. Tolbert must be ignorant either of the law or of the facts. I could not say more without offence to Mr. Tolbert, and I am not disposed to burden the public with personalities. Respectfully, W. F. M< A k J'liru, Co. Supt. of Education. IN THE CITY COURT. Two C.'hm-h of the I humI Kind on Docket VcHtcrdity MoruinfC. Jim Dawkins and Mamie Mont gomery. both colored, were before the mayor yesterday morning for having deviated somewhat from the paths of rectitude and from ways that are moral and orderly. Mamie had merely been disorderly, while Jim had been both drunk and disorderly. After a thorough investigation, and the testimony of- five witnesses, Jim was fined five dollars, with the usual alternative of twenty days labor a la chaingang. The alternative didn’t suit Jim worth a cent, and by some hocus pocus proceeding peculiar to his race, and entirely unknown to any one else, he produced the five and went on his way as happy and light-hearted as though nothing had ever arisen to disturb the even and wonted serenity of his mind. The Montgomery woman “proved an alibi” and the case against her was dismissed. Yesterday afternoon two white men were arrested for drunkenness and taken to the lock-up. One of them was so full that he had lost all powers of speech and locomotion, and had almost lost the use of his breath ing apparatus. Their caa.’S will come up ibis morning.

The Practical Farmer, Philadel phia, Pa., says: A thorough brushing and cleaning is often necessary, but many cleans ing fluids contain strong drugs which are not advisable for this pur pose, for they often fade the cloth. The following is a very simple and effective method of cleaning the coat collars and removing the spots from woolen clotl i ig : Prej a*e a strong, foamy soapsuds by dissolving Gold Dust Washing Powder in hot water; dip a ^lean, stiff brush in it and scrub the soiled parts with it. An old tooth brush that has been discar ded for the toilet purposes is good for this work. Dip it in frequently, changing the suds for a clean one whenever it gets dirty. When the spots are re moved, scrub with clear water and hang it up until dry enough to iron Press it on the wrong side, or if that is not convenient, cover the right side with a cloth and iron until per fectly dry.

Cherokee Drug Co. A Hoboken couple have entered into a strange ante-nuptial contract. The man contributes $o weekly to a common fund and the woman $10. When the sum of $1500 is in the pool they are to be married. A sturgeon weighing 550 pounds was netted off Lagoon Island, in the Hudson river, three miles above Alba ny, recently.

Intermission, one hour for dinner. Reassembled in the bouse, short prayer and praise service conducted by the Rev. Simpson Blanton.

Griffith and Prof. R. O. Sams. The thanks of the union were ten dered by W. T. Thompson. On motion the meeting adjourned with prayer by W. I). Kirby. The Corinth brethren and sisters thought it quite a sacrifice on the part of Rev. Arch C. Cree to leave his congregation in the midst of a great revival to come through the dust and heat to minister unto them such a copious shower of spiritual blessings and such a reverential expression of love for their soiritual welfare. They regretted very much that he could not stay to enjoy with them the temporal things which they had prepared to refresh him with. He will ever have a place in their hearts.
