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

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.

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.

Then followed a collection for mis

The following churclies were repre

Elbethel, First Gaffney, Goucher
Creak and Limestone. W. T. Thomp
son was elected chairman, and R S.
Porter clerk. Intermission, one hour

short prayer and praise service
conducted by the Rev. Simpson
Blanton. For arranging program
and place of next meeting, at the
request of the body, the chairman
appointed the following brethren:

P. Griffith and Prof. R. O. Sams.
The thanks of the union were ten
dered by W. T. Thompson. On

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.
