Recent events have brougiht the Cit. adel Academy prominently before the pubiic. It is not our purpose at pres ent to speak further of the late ac tion of the Board of Visitors. or tc refer to the troubles developed in the discipline of the in-,stitution. Nor dc we consider that the inefficiency of the faculty or of the Loard of Visi tors. if inefficiency there be. has any thing to do with the question "Is the Citadel a necessity ? If it is -n imn portant and valuable part of our ed ucational system, let any abuses that may exist be corrected. and any de" fects remedied. But have we any use for military education and if we have, does the Cita del afford it? It is a well known fact that our national military school is turning out every year numbers of trained officers who have to seek em ployment in civil life, and it is anoth. er well known fact that many of the best generals on both sides in the late civil war were men who had nev er seen inside of a military school, while many others were graduates of West Point who for years had been in civil life. Now granting that military educa tion is needed. Does the Citadcl Academy afford this kind of an edu cation? Is there anythi.g taught about gunnery. about military engin eering, about the science of w.lr? The only feature that distinguishes the Academy from any other college with a business or scientific curricti lum is, that the students wear a uni form, are under a sort of military government, and l3arn something about the manual of arms andI the evolutions of a company. The military part of the cducation which thle student acquires at the Citadel, we venture to say can be as thoroughly acquired in a f2w months -by an intelligent member of any vol unteer militia companyii ill tile State. What, then, is it that renders the Citadel so important and necessary a part of our educational system ? And yet the St ate pays $20,000 per an num to keep a few young men in brass buttons and gold lace, while that institution which should be tile glory of our commonwealth, and which should offer to her sons opportunities for the broadest and highest culture, both scientific and p)rofe,siona!, lan guishes upon a p)lane which brings it into competition with our little de nominational colleges, and into con tempt with everybody. The $20,000 per annum now appro priated to thle Citadel augmented by tuition fees would place the Univer sity in a position to accompllish in part its true work. and would give us an institution second to none in the Southlern States. The Georgia Legislature will no doubt adopt the suggestions contain ed in the report of the special comn mnittee appointed to investigate the workings of the railway commission of that State. Thie committee recommendo a pro vision allowmng appeals from the de cision of the comnmission to the courts, andl the appointment of a special law officer to conduct suc-h aippeals withl out cost to any citizen or coimmuiini ty carrying upl an ap)peal. It fut thter recommends that tile powers of the cntnuission be so re strained as to c-eouraae itestme~nt oft capitadl in Georgia railwayvs. The committee after careful inqui rv is of the opinion that tIe I,resent railroad law of Georgia has and will prevent the mnvestmient of1 capi tal in railroad c-onstruction i that State. The railroadI law of this State is very similar to that of Georgia, and samne particulars. If the next I egis httire d~oes not take sonme action of this kind, tIe commission h:vei better be ab)olished(. and thle whole law re p)ested. The Miississippi D)emnocr-ats have nominated the following State ticket: Governor, Robert Lowry; Lieut. Gov., G. D). Shlands; Secretary of State.

Almost daily ot er 4.000) new cases occur. and from 1,200 to 1,500 deaths. The disease hlas a strong hold in Southern Franice, aid is spreadilng into Italy. ANOTHER LETTER. Mr. B. 0. Duncan has written a let ter to the Newberry Observer on the proper inter,'retation of the much discussed words, --free and open." Mr. Duncan goes. very properly, to the -Proceedinigs o' the Convention" which framed the Constitution, in or der to ascertain what was the mean inrr and intentioti of that body in the use ot' the words abo% e quoted. It is indeed singular. as Mr. Duncan re marks. that amid all the discussion on this subject no one should have before resorted to this means of in terpretation. There is i o rule of construction so common orso author itative as this. In the Federalist and in every other discussion of the Con stitution of the United States con stant reference is had to the records of the body which framed the instru ment, and from this source is derived the v'ry best light by which to read it. Mr. Duncan was a memnter of the Constitutional Convention. took an active part in its deliberations, and was the leader of tie opposition to that section of the Constitution in which occur the words 'free and open." lie is therefore in a position to speak authoritatively as to the meaning and intention of the Con vention. le tells us, what the words of the section taken together strongly :i ply, that the whole thing had refer ence to the admission of black and white alike to the privileges of the University, and that there was no reference to or thought of the ques tion of tuition. The argument on the section in question bears cut Mr. Duncan's statement, and leaves no doubt as to the proper meaning of '-free and open. That those who are conducting the discussion in favor of free tuition will be convinced by this letter is not for a moment to be expect ed. for the simple reason that a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still, but any unbiassed mind must be persuaded that there is no Constitutional warrant for free tuition in the State University. The question of the suppression of criminal vice, and the protection of young girls is still stirring London. There was a monster demonstration at IIyde Park on th Aug.2,the crowd being estimated at 150,000. The P<dl Mull Gazette. however. has some what lost its influence by opposing the attemlp, to raise the age of con sent to 18 years, upon the ground that fixing the age ortconsent so high would interfere with the business of depraved women. hlorse jockeys are coming into fau vor now with wealthy voung ladies of a romantic disposition, and the coachmen will have to look out. Miss Anna McKeen, the eldest daughter of President McKeern of the Vandalia Railroad recently eloped with her father's horse trainer-. D)r. Ward who is with President Cleveland in the Adirondack Moun tains. has summoned Dr. Conant Sawyer to consult with him about a patient. and it is rumored that Mr. Cleveland is the patient. Helena Happenings. In thme absence of the ladies whlo usu ally play the organ amnd lead the singing at the pray-er meeting, little Hattie Pitts presided at the organ last Sunday night. and played and sang sweetly, assided by little Misses Kilgore and Bishop, and a young gentleman andl lady. It was re freshing andl inspiring to look upon the vonthin(1 choir.

FAC'S AND FANCIES FROM 3MT. TABOR The fait that TiE HERALD AND NE I.C circulated considerably in this vicinity, caused us to fancy that a few dots from the mountainous regions of Newberry would perhaps not be amiss. Farmers are p)ieking cotton, but their anticipations have greatly lowered with in the last two weeks in regard to the quantity that was expected to be gath ered. August has so far passed without any rain at all, here, and unless we get rain in a very short time cotton will gather very little. Corn is very line, the best for mnany years. Rev. J. A. Sligh will, in company with Dr. Hawkins, go to Glenn Springs the latter part of this week. for a few d:ys' recreation.
