It is a lesson that few people learn in this age, that of minding their own business. The semi-centennial of the reign of Queen Victoria was appropriately and extensively celebrated through out all England on June 20. Fifty years a gneen is a good long reign. We publish in another part of this paper a timely article on a timely topic from the Atlanta Constitution We invite a careful reading of this article. Prof. J. H. Miller declined the presidency of the Due West Female College, and Mr. Henry E. Bonner a son of the late Dr. Bonner, and former president of the college, has been elected by the board of true tees. The commencement season is about over and the young men anc women are returning home to enjoy their .vacation and rest. Some t< enter upon the stern realities of life We wish each ald every one the full est realization of their hopes. We return our thanks to Capt. F W. Dawson for a copy, in pamphlle form, of his beautiful address on the Southern Women in the War, deliv ered before the "Association of the Maryland Line," at their annual re union, February 22, 1887. We are glad to have this beautiful and elo quent tribute to the women in the South in this shape so as to preserv it. The News and Courier paraphrases Comjmander Fairchild's little invocs tion on the proposed return of thi old Confederate flags in this wise : "May the hand be paralyzed tha would receive them as the tokens o a spirit of peace and union and goo< will, unless that spirit be sincere au< widespread, if not universal. Thel were lost on the field of honor. Bet ter that they shall never be returnet than that they should come bacd to us dishonored as the emblems o: a shallow falsehood, perpetrated ii the name of a united country." The Marion Star says that Marior is in great need of a drug store, ani thle reason of this need is that none of the drug stores in Marion keel any brandy. The Star devotes a col umn to the sins of omission commit ted by the druggists for refusing t< keep brandy on account of a senti mental opposition to intemperance while they keep all kinds of opiates Well, brother, what has become o: your bar rooms? Marion must in deed be a model "dry" town.;We al ways thought, and have heard il * often said, that a man could get stim ulants when he could get nothing else. "Is the natural state of man that 01 -war?" The Atlanta Constitutiom thinks that while men in a civilized state do not indulge in a free fight wherever they meet. they do the same * thing in a different way by politica] strife, business rivalry and the inor dinate desire of everybody to mind 7 his neighbor's business instead o1 his own. Business rivalry and po. litical strife are all very well and proper, but there can be little doubt that there are many so called moral reformers, who, in the name of reli * gion, are constantly looking after their neighbor and criticising his habits and customs, trying to take the mote out of his eye, while the beam remains in their own. And besides these moral reformers, there -- are men in every-day life who are constantly minding everybody's bu siness but their own. Men and wo men who by their insidious questions and insinuations are creating strifes and unpleasant feelings instead of minding their own business. What we most need in this day as in every other, is men and women to mind their own business and leave other people to do the same. Every man, when he arrive at the age of discre tion is supposed to be responsible for his own acts, and so long as he minds his own business without infringing upon the rights of others, the best way to help him is to mind our own * business and let him continue doing the same. THE OLD CONFEDERATE FLAGS. * In the cellar and attics of the war department at Washington are a number of old Confederate battle flags. which were captured during the late war. The proposition to return these to the various States in which the companies to which they belong were from, has been made, and was about to be acted upon. In another column of this paper we publish the cespoannnrcne in reg-ard to the mat ter. President Cleveland has reached the conclusion that no power other than Congress has the right to order the removal of these flags. He has reached that conclusion, no doubt, t from a careful examination of the t law, and for the present at least, the S old flags will remain where they are. 2 A great cry comes up from certain Northern quarters, though, of "rebel lion," "treason," and great protest is y made against returning these flags. e Surely the war is over, and the re turn of these old flags could do no possible harm. They belong to the victors, however, and they have a right to them. In speaking of the y order to return these flags Gen. Fair child, of the G. A. R., says: c "May God palsy the hand that wrote the order, and may God palsy the brain that conceived it, and may God palsy the tongue that dic tated it." . t This is indeed strong language. t He'further says no loyal Governor f of any State in this Union would re ceive them, and speaks of them as emblems of treason. We think no loyal Governor of any State in this Union whose sons once bore these old flags aloft in the heat of battle, and whose blood was shed for principles they conceived to be right, would refuse to receive them. Yes, and place them in safe keeping and cherish the memory of the noble sons of the South who fought in this strife. Preserve these flags and the history connected with them; but not to stir anew a desire for war or dis union. The questions for which the South fought have been decided on the field of carnage, and we are back in the Union, and we are there to stay. But we can never be made be. lieve that those brave men who fought on the Southern' side in the late civil strife were traitors, and that their memories are unworthy to be cherished and revered. If that is what the New South idea means, then away with any such notions, We are now at peace and we want to remain so. The Union is no longer divided and we hope never again to to see a division nor a civil war. But we hope to see the rising gene ration of this beautiful South-land cherish in proper remembrance the 'memory of those who gave up their lives on the field of battle in a cause which they conceived to be just. They were overpowered by the force of arms and submitted graceitilly, and a return of these flags or the re ~tention of them where they are will Inever change the reverence in which| those who fell in battle are held by| their descendants in the South. If the flags were returned they would| be carefully preserved and their his-| tory perpretuated. As for rebellion,| that is a dead issue now. After all, no doubt it is best that the old Con federate flags should remain where| they are. The South is a part of| that nation in whose custody- they| are. The South wants peace. Thel return of the flags could not makej her think any more of those who| bore them in the heat of battle than she does now. Governor Gordon. expresses the true Southern senti-| ment when he says: "We want| peace and good will, and prefer these| even to the return of cherished relics, if their return is to be made at such a cost." Gov. Lee, of Virginia, in speaking of this matter says: "The proposed return of the South ern battle flags did not originate with Southern soldiers. While they would have accepted again their banners. bathed ini the blood of brave com rades, they recognized that flags cap. tured in battle are the property of. the victors and were content to let them remain in their charge. Flags captured from Northern troops by Southern soldiers have been returned and in some cases with ceremonies."t "The country should not again be< agitated by pieces of bunting that< mean nothing now. The South is p)art and parcel of the Union to-day, and means to do her part towards in creasing the prosperity and main. taining the peace of the Republic, whether the flags rot in Washington or are restored to their former custo. t dians. If any man hauls down the I American flag, shoot him on the spot,t but do not let us get into trouble be- 1 cause any flag simply changes its resting place. It will not go into the hands of a standard-bearer." r ENLARGING MOUNT VERNON. IJay Gould Obeys a Generous and Patri otic Impulse. 'WAsHINGTON, June 20.-l'he Mt. Vernon estate, where the remains of Washington lie entombed, has been enlarg'ed by the addition of a tract of 33*l acres on the northern side, near teold Washington mansion. IIt was secured through the generos ity of Jay Gould while on his way up the Potomac from Fortress Mon roe recently in his yacht, the Atalanta. Gould stopped at Mount Vernon and 1 was shown around the grounds. Het expressed great interest in the place i Iand the admirable manner in which tit is cared for. In the course of v conversation the superintendent re marked that the land in questiont was much needed to protect the , property from encroach ent. Gould immediately authorized the purchase ~ of the land at his expense, and it has been bought and turned over to the Mount Vernon regents. The price paid is not known. An Old Couple Marry.

Dear Herald and Yews:-As I sit here >-night and attempt to write of Clin :n, her schools, colleges, charitable in titutions and the hospitality of her citi ens, I am puzzled to'know how to con ense what I want to say in the space in rhich you will allot me for this talk. This afternoon we left Newberry (and then I. say we I mean more than the ditorial we, for our party consisted of V. H. Wallace, Esq., of the Obserrer, Kiss Lizzie Ruff, Prof. T. II. DrehCr, Er. M. J. Scott and your scribe), and he old Laurens brought us along slowly ut surely and landed us in Clinton on me. I might say that the main object of ur visit was to attend the closing exer- 1 ises of the Clinton Aeademy, taught by 'rof J. B. Parrott. We were met at the lepot by Prof. Parrott. Through the :indness of Prof. Parrott and Mr. Lee 'erguson, I had the pleasure of a drive hrough the principal part of this bean iful little village. It was also the good ortune of your scribe, Miss Ruti and 'rof. Dreher to stop at that excellent otel, the Irby House, kept by that es mwable gentleman, Dr. W. C. Irby, and is good wife. We are certainly in good iands and well cared for. MIr. Wallace s the guest of Prof. Parrott and Mr. cott is with relatives. Clinton is a pretty little town and ieems to be improving. Many new and )eautiful residences are in course of con truction. It now has a population of bout 800, and has the prospect of an >ther railroad. The ambition of her eople, I understand, is, not only to be ome a commercial centre, but more articularly to become a town of :chools tnd colleges. THORNWELL ORPHANAGE. One has to come here and see for him elf, by going through the various build ngs, to fully appreciate the good that is being done by the Thornwell Orphan ge under the management of that Christian gentleman, Dr. Wm. P. Ja robs. I had the pleasure this afternoon af going through the buildings and ,rounds, and when I got through I was glad that I came to Clinton. Every thing has the most neat and cozy ap pearance, and the sixty-five orphans here all look happy and contented. The practical part of the education is carried along with the theoretical. The young ladies are their own cooks and servants by turns, and they do their own laun drying and house cleaning and sewing, and learn everything essential to good housekeeping. There is also a farm in onnection with this institution, upon which the boys learn the practical also. And in addition to this there is a good school in connection with the orphan age, in which all receive a good educa tion. The first building we went through was the printing office, ini which is printed Our Monthly. This is a neat concrete building with 'three times as much room inside as the outward ap pearance would indicate. And the same may be said of all the buildings. Every particle of avaIlable space is utilized. Then we were shown through the din ing room, kitchen and laundry. Every thing is the picture of neatness. This building is also used as the residence of the larger girls. There are two other elegant buildings-the seminary build ing, in which are held the exercises of commencement, etc., and the McCor mick building, used as the sleeping apartments for the boys. This is an ex cellent building-built of flint rock and ement, with the rock in their rough state. The building has eighteen rooms. rhen the building in which live the lit tIe-children who jare too small to be use ul. All the buildings are located in a beautiful grove, which is use~d as a play ground. Any orphan child is fortunate to be put in charge of this institution. [ am satisfied that this institution is do ing a good work, and I believe the R1ev. W. P. Jacobs, who is at the head of it, i a most excellent ChristIan gentleman, much beloved by the orphan children who are under his control. This work was only commenced about thirteen ears ago, and has been wonderfully successful. CLINTON ACADEMY. The program of the exercises to-night a connection with Clinton Academy were under the auspices of Eufonian iterary Society. Mr. Lee Ferguson was the presiding officer and introduced he speakers. An opening speech was lelivered by Mr. W. A. Pitts, a member >f the society, on Success. ANNUAL ORATOR. The annual orator of the society was Er. W. H. Wallace, of the Newberry %server. Mr. Wallace delivered a most xcellent and well prepared address on he elements of success in life. IIe nentioned only three: Money, reputa ion and character. This address would >ear reading again and being preserved, nd I hope Mr. Wallace will print it in amphlet form, as I would like very nuch to have a copy.* The closing exercises of this school vill continue during the week. Next week will be taken up with slinton College Commencement. Clinton is a delightful little town, and have enjoyed my visit here very much. 'o-morrow we return home wishing we ould tarry longer. As for the beauty. nd loveliness of the young ladies of linton and the chivalry of her young ~entlemen, I refer the reader to Prof. )reher and Miss Lizzie Rluff, respective y, of our party. The crops along the road are fair, but vere needing rain very much. There tave been good rains around in this see ion this afternoon, vhich I hope reached ato Newberry. Yours, E. HI. A. P. S.-A letter is scarce completei vithout a postscript, and I desire to say >y way of postscript that our party re-1 urned on Wednesday, except Mr. Scott, rho will return Thursday. I desire also to state that Clinton is deed a "dry" town, there being onldy ne old tottering house left as a menmo al of its "wet" days. E. H. Ketel>erry, June 22.

A DISASTER IN GREENVILLE. Phe Warehouse of the' Camperdown Mils Niruck by Lightning-700 laies or Cotton Burned. peci to \ews and Courier. GREENViLLE, June 21.-The cot on warehouse of Camperdown Mills was set on fire by lightning a few ninutes after 10 o'clock to night. [he building was an immense frame tructure, 150 feet long by 50 feet ride, and stool within twenty-five -ards of the main factory. It con ained over seven hundred bales of otton. constituting the entire supply n hand for the use of the mill until he new crop comes in, and except a 'ew burned pieces of bales the entire ot was destroyed. The fire started in the midst of a eavy rain, which had come up soon .fter nightfall, accompanied by tre nendous peals of thunder, which ittracted universal attention. In ;pite of the steady fall of rain the >uilding with its highly combustible :ontents flashed into one biaze lmost in a moment. The fire de )artment turned out promptly, but ;heir efforts were almost useless Lgainst such fearful odds. * At this vriting, 11.45 p. M., six streams are )laying on the smoking bales from he engines and factory hydrants, and the firemen are laboring bravely o save a portion of the blackened mass of bales lying where the big arehouse stood. To The News and Courier's corres Dondent the boo-keeper. Joe ASloan, said that the cotton is fully insured. Estimating the cotton at $40 a bale the loss will be fully $28,000. Super intendent McGowan said that the mill would not be able to run a day antil a new supply was laid in, and that would be difficult before the new crop is marketed. The shut-down of the mill means loss of employment for 200 hands, and perhaps hardships for many more dependent on them. A small store near the burning warehouse caught fire, but was extin guished. A peculiar feature of the fire was that the lightning appeared to have struck first the tall top of a dead tree standing fifty feet away, glancing then to the building. Work on the C., N. & L. R. R Colrumbia Record, June 20th. Mr. Charles Ellis with his survey ing corps went to work this morning to get the bearings for the bridge over Broad river, at the foot of Elmwood avenue, on the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens road. They will be there until Wednesday, when all the force but one assistant will he dis charged for the present. As soon as the details for locating the bridge are complete, the drawings and spec ifications for the structure will be made andl bids invited for the build ing of the same. It has not been decided as yet whether the bridge will be of iron or a combination of wood and iron. It will, however, be built without a draw, as the canal runs along this point of the river, and in tile event that it is completed will answer all purposes of navigation. The canal will also have to be bridged, and the railroad authorities intend asking permission of the State to erect a pier in the middle of the canal, claiming that there will be 75 feet of water on either side of the pier, sufficient room for boats to pass. Several lines have been surveyed from the bridge location to the Union Depot, but a permanent location of that portion of.the track depend upons the selection that will be most ad vantageous for tile road in the way of entering the city and securing room for building its depots. This matter will not be decided until the bridge is complete. A Railroad Attached. Special to 1\ews autl Courier. GREENViILLE, June 20.--An at tachment was levied to-day by Sheriff Gilreath, on the road-bed, right of way, franchises and real property of the Atlantic, Greenville and Western Railway in this county, and on the real estate and bonds belonging to Susong & Co., who control the road. The attachment was made in the suit of W. E. Sullivan, against Su song & Co., for $10,500, b)alance due him on a grading contract. Susong & Co. own the fair grounds in the city and have $16,000 of township bonds on deposit in the National Bank, all of which was attached. Mr. Sullivan was one of the princi pal contractors on the grading of the road, and when the road was turned over to Susong & Co., he was paid a portion of the amount due him and promised the remainder. What the outcome of tihe suit will be cannot be told. The Harmon Mystery Solved. Register, June 21. On Saturday last Mr. Fred Har mon went before a Trial Justice at Lexington C. H.. swore out a warrant for the arrest of Paul Wingard, his brother-in-law, for assault with intent to kill charging him with being the party who shot and wounded him not long ago. Yesterday officers started to arrest Wingard, but when e noted their approach lie made good is escape, and at last accounts was still at large. IIarmon says Win ard is the same person who laid in amb)ush for him last February and shot him, no injury resulting by reason of a mfemorandlum book in his pocket. Strike naain.st (olor.

Altogether a False Alarm--No Danger of an Outbreak. Special to News and Courier. LAURENS, June 20.-Col. J. H. Traynham, of the Governor's staff, and Capt. L. E. Irby, of the Laurens Guards, have returned from Cedar Grove, Young's township. Col. Traynham refuses to bo interviewed, but he will proceed to Columbia and report directly to Gover.or Richard son to-morrow. Capt. Irby, however, is under no obligation to report o i cially, and has very kindly furnished me such information as he had. There is no doubt that some of the negroes are organized, and that they often hold meetings between mid. night and daylight with the greatest precautions at secrecy, sentinels being stationed at convenient dis tances from the rendezvous. The various dire threats that have been so widely circulated cannot be traced authoritively to the organization. There will be no outbreak unless the negro leaders shall act rashly, as the whites preserve great caution. I neg lected to say that the meetings are held near the lines of Laurens and Greenville counties, on the Greenville side. The organizations are known as "Co-operative Workers of America,' and are the offspring of the Hoover influence, and many believe they are for the purpose of extorting money from the ignorant negroes. It costs each member one dollar and fifty-five cents to take all the degrees, and one dollar and fifty cents of thai amount is forwarded to Hickory, N. C. Several packages of money have been sent from Simpsonville, Greenville County, and Woodruff, Spartanburg County, to Hickory. N. C. I have secured some of the liters ture of the "Co-operative Workers of America," issued "by order of the executive board, H. F. Hoover, presi, dent ; W. R. Killian, vice-president John F. Ross, general secretary; C. L. Hawn, treasurer; J. A. Bolch, general auditor ; Martin Nolder general committee agent." Undei cover of a small phamphlet, signed a; above indicated, I glean what pur ports to be the principles and objects of the organization : "It is the proper object of governmeni to make laws that will secure the great est good to the greatest number, on the basis of absolute justice, with an ait towards universal libert3. "For many years our government ha: been run to the advantage of a few, foi the benefit of a privileged class-th moneyed aristocracy, while the masses, the useful people, have hard burdens hard to bear." The objects of the organization are declared to be: "To elevate and dignify labor; to se cure to the laborer a just share of the products of his toil; to instruct him in f knowledge of his rights and his wrongs and his duty to his country and his fellow-men; to use all rational means t< better his social, moral and financial condition." To accomplish these objects the~ demand :. "The establishment of bureaus of la, bor statistics; the abrogation of law, that do not bear equally on capital and labor; the adoption of measures providing for the health and safety of those en. gaged in mining, &c.; the enactment o: laws to compel corporations to pay thei1 employees weekly in lawful money; the enactment of laws providing for arbitra tion betw~een employer and employees the enactment of laws to prohibit th< hiring out of convict labor and to worn convicts on the public roads; that thi importation of foreign convict labor b< prohibited; that the poll tax be repealed the establishment of a free co-operative school system; the abolition of child la bor in mines, workshops and factories. They demand of Congress : "Tha the public lands, the heritage of the peo pie, be reserved for actual settlers, &c. the establishment of a national monetary system; that a graduated income tax be levied so that the greater the income th4 higher the rate of taxation ; the enact ment of a g'raduated forfeiture Act to be levied on the estates of the rich at theil death ; that the Government shall or ganize financial exchanges, safe depos its, &c.; that the Government construe1 postal telegraph or telephone system. &c.; that the United States Senators bi elected by the people ; that the Govern ment establish and maintain a free bal. lot in every State of the~Union ; a radi cal reduction in the fees, salaries anm perquisites of Government officials is demanded ; that the hours of labor be re duced." Then they say: "We are opposed to war, and conside: str-ikes as dangerous to society, hurtful to the participants and contrary to the interests of good government." They promise co-operation with the Knights of Labor and all similar or ganizations. ALL QUIET IN SPARTANBURG. SPAnTANBURIG, Jun~e 21.-Furthei investigation to-day strenghtens me in my opinion that the negroes of this county do not contemplate a strike or any violence. They are not fool! enough to wait until their crops ar nearly finished, with the finest pros pects they had for years, to begin revolution that would damaga thenr in every possible way. End of the Strike in the Pennsylvanii Coke Regions. PITTsnUno, June 17.-The backbon: of the great coke strike has been broker by the Hungara.n strikers at Sterling an Jimtown works of Schoonmader & Co returning to work at the old wages.

The storm came from the west and tray- h< eled due-east. Twenty-five or more te buildings, including the Catholic ai church and University of North Da- L kota, were blown to the ground.

Raising Funds to Fight Prohibition in Texas and Elsewhere. f CHICAGO, June 17.-The National association of wholesale liquor dealers held an important meeting last night. ol J. M. Atherton, of Louisville, Ky., pre- T sided. In addition to local members tli present, a Texas delegation was in at- n tendafice. Whether they discussed the A local fight in Chicago is not known. Gentlemen say they did not. They say they had enough to do in preparing for the prohibition fight in Texas. The pro hibition amendment there will be voted upon August 4th and the fight is red hot.. One of the wholesale men says that the $100 assessments in Chicago is to fight prohiibition in Texas. Mr. A4therton, the president, admits that it is a hard battle, but thinks the liquor men will win, Then ol prohibition in Tennessee comes to a vote September 9, and it must be met. That IV is not all.
