We are having charming weather for the "Gala Week" in Charleston, and no doubt Charleston will spare no pains to make the trip pleasant for the excursionists who visit there this week The Anarchist appeal case has been argued in the Supreme Court of the United States and a decision will be made to-day. Gen. B. F. Butler and J. Randolph Tucker made the argu ment for the condemned men. The State Fair next week promi ses to be quite a success. The rates are low, and we expect there will be a large attendance of visitors. Sena tor Butler has consented to make an address during the week, and possibly Senator Hampton also. Then there will be the old farmer's convention, and the meeting of the surgeons and physicians of the late Confederacy, as additional. attractions to the fair proper. Two young women in Wayne County, New York, are opposing each other as candidates for School Cammissioner. They are Misses Nel lie L. Cook and Ella Clark Miss Cook, who is the regular democratic candidate, is said to possess a for tune in her own name, and is just 21 years old, extremely handsome and vivacious. It is no wonder then that crowds of young men flock to hear her campaign speeches and escort her to and from the public meetings with brass bands. Miss Clark is the -prohibition candidate and has made several speeches. We have placed our stakes on Miss Cook's election. The large crowds who attended the Piedmont Exposition, in Atlanta, and its success, will, no doubt, put it into the minds of other cities to follow suit. The Augusta Chronicle, of Sunday, _ has an editorial urging Augusta to have an exposition next year, but to call it "The Southern Manufacturer's -- Exposition." Augusta is an enterprising and a manufacturing city, and, no doubt, if she undertakes this matter no effort will be spared to make the affair a success. It ss a good way to adver tise a town. Atlanta is, no doubt, one of the best advertised cities in the country today. It might be a good idea for Newberry to begin preparations for an exposition of some kind during the closing days of this centennial year in our history as a town. It is reported that the Georgia Central railroad company is willing to sell its system of roads in South Car olina, and prefers to sell to some oth er than the Richmond and Danville system. Here now is an opportunity for Charleston and the South Caroli na railroad to get control of a system of roads in Carolina, wherby a large portion of the trade of this section that, now goes to Augusta and other places, could be diverted to Charles ton. We are sure that the people of the upper section of the State would prefer for Charleston to control these lines of road to their getting into the hands of the Richmond and Danville, for in that case they would be at the mercy of one systsm. A little com petition, even in railroads, is a good thing. If the report be true,we hope Charleston will bestir herself and do something. The News and Courier directs Char'.eston's attention to this matter, and insists that something be done, and at once,to keep the Richmond and Danville system from coxntrolling any more roads in this State. A deputation from Great Britain called on President Cleveland on Monday to secure his co-operation in the adoption of a treaty between this country and Great Britain which shall provide for the amicable settlement of all disputes, which may arise, by arbitration. The object is to get Mr. Cleveland to bring the matter before Congress in his annual message. The memorial which is preonted byr Great Britain is signed by 233 members of Parliament, which is more than one third of the whole membership of the House of Commons. Mr. Playfair, in presenting the memorial to Presi dont Cleveland, says: "If our two countries succeed in settling political differences by arbitration it will give an eminent illustration that nations as well as individuals, can compose adherence to principles of equity and of international law." We think it would be a good idea to have some such plan for the settle ment of political differences that may arise without appeal to the arbitra ment of the sword. Mr. Davis has declined the invita tion to visit the State Fair in Colum bia next week on account of the feebleness of his health and under the advice of his physician. The in vitation was presented to him while in Macon, Ga., last week. In declin ing he says: "Yes, from the dear people of South Carolina, as I look on the names attached to this invitation, it brings back memories of the years long past. I can not accept the in vitation; my physician positively for bids my going anywhere. I came here to meet the- old veterans whom I love. It will be the last time. Please present to the citizens, and particularly the old soldiers, my grateful acknowledgments and warm est affection." There are many old soldiers who would have been delighted to meet once more the former chieftain of the Confederacy. Mr. Davis, after his visit to Macon will return to his home in Mississippi to spend the re mainder of his days in quiet and peace. It was no doubt a great pleasure to him to meet the old vete rans and their sons at Macon, and to witness the evidences of respect and admiration there shown him. He is, in many respects, the most remarkable man of this country and of this age. We regret he could not visit Columbia, but no doubt it is for the best. The Abbeville Press and Banner thinks it is a travesty on justice to have a $3,500 Judge and a $1,600 Solicitor, and all the other machinery of our session's court at work trying a 75 cents chicken thief. It may look so, but it is not the fault of the Judge nor the Solicitor; and then there is more involved in the trial of the criminal than the value of the ar ticle stolen. The franchise of the party on trial is involved and his competency to testify in our courts. These things follow conviction whether the amount stolen be large or small. Did it ever occur to our contempo rary that the small thief had a harder road to travel as a rule, anyway, than the big thief ? We agree with the Press and Bant ner, however, that there are many small crimes that could and should be tried by the inferior courts. It would be better for all parties con cerned. We suppose that the next Legislature will so amend the law as to conform to the decision of the Su preme Court and again place within the jurisdiction of the Trial Justice the trial of petit larceny. The Trial Justice system is very unsatisfactory in many particulars, but we need an inferior court with summary powers, and unless we had something better to offer we will not attempt to pull it down. In fact we believe if we could always get good men as Trial Justices, and men who understood something of the law, the present system, with a few changes, would be about as good as any. We think, however, they should be sala ried officers,and not have to depend at all upon the fees of the office. And the constables should be paid in the same way. It would remove a temptation, which, under the present system, is sometimes a stumbling block. The prohibition campaign is be coming lively in Atlanta again. The election is ordered for the 20th No vember. The question is already attracting considerrble atten'tion in Atlanta, and the campaign is in full blast. Sam Jones and Reuben Ar noid are to have a joint discussion on the subject soon, and it will no doubt attract large crowds. From the account given in Satur day's News and Courier, by the Co lumbia correspondent who has re cently been in Atlanta, and from others who have been there, Atlanta is not much of a prohibition town. It seems that there is plenty of mean whiskey to be had without any trou ble and at_ exorbitant prices, under such names as "rice beer"' and "nerve tonic, which is nothing but an infe rior article of beer and whiskey. These places have been open all the time according to accounts, and sell ing mean whiskey at big prices with oat license in a prohibition town. At that rate p:ohibition will not do much to advance the cause of tempe rance. Intemperance is a great evil. There can be little doubt of this. If we could make prohibitionists such as Mr. Powderly, master workman of Lhe Knights of Labor, says he is, we yould have prohibition that prohibits. E[e says, referring to the prohibiti6n guestion: "It is not my desire to interfere with a man's right to drink when aver and wherever he desires, so long as by the exercise of that right he does not infringe upon any rights of ~ame. I am not a prohibitionist; I would not legislate against any man's appetite. I am, however, to this ex bent a prohibitionist, that I always aave and always will prohibityand utoxicating liquor from being po ure ntn my sysetm." THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP SOUTH. The Effect of His Reception on North ern Sentiment. NEW YORK, October 30.-The recep tion given to the President in the South has disarmed the oldest and most persistent critics of the South ; and since all the Southern papers, with every incident of his journey, have been read here only to provoke applause of his deameaior and of the manner in which he was received, the Southern residents of New York have been not less pleased than the people whom he visited. Mr. Algernon S. Sullivann, the dis tinguished lawyer and president of the New York Southern Society, said : "Such interviews between the people of the South, who for so long a time have no; felt themselves close to a President and their Magistrate must have excel lent results. His speeches were admir able, showing an intelligent understand ing of the condition of the South-its in terest, its feelings, its duties. He was sympathetic, but he paid a just an:ifigh compliment to the South itself when he took it for granted that the people de sired him to speak plainly and boldly, as the President of the whole Union. He showed plainly how deeply, he was impressed by their pervading and enthu:iastic.patriotism. I only wish that some of the sectional demagogues of the North had acted as the great body of the Sout hern people have." Mr. Virginiis Dabney, the teacher and novelist, a member of the Virginia Dabney family. said . "'Te Pre-ident's utterances and his reception have made an end forever of sectionalism. The South accepts the advanced views of the President-his civil service reform policy-f believe, more thoroughly than the Democrats of the North." The Rev. Dr. Chas F. Deems an swered the inquiry of your correspond ent by saying promptly : "I watched the President's Southern tour with great interest. It has in creased my respect for him as a man and as a Chief Magistrate. I believe that it will be be:,e-icial to the whole country. He was right in saying that whatever was settled by the war must stay settled. And he did not go about as a ruler, but as the servant of the people. That pleases every man who has a proper con ception of the Presidency. Yes. sir; it was a wise thing to do, and it will make the people better." Mr. John C. Latham, Jr., of the firm of Latham, Alexander & Co., who is a Kentuckian, declared : "I do not wish to he interviewed on this subject, because I might say some thing extravagant, I am so pleased with the President's tour and his reception. Look at the business of the country. Under Mr. Cleveland's administration it has been managed with the greatest success; and he is the strongest man of either party with the people. The busi ness interests of the country will re elect him. He paid the South the com pliment of a visit, and the South's recep tion of him was worthy of the people and of their President." These are specimen opinions-Mr. La tham, Dr. Deem=, Slr. Dabney and Mr. Sullivan, each having the right by his position to speak for the business, the clerical, the literay and the legal in terests of New York, as represented by the foremost Southern men who have become a part of the city's life and work. No Truth in the Story of Free Land for Evicted Irish Tenants. From the New York Herald. M.&cox, GA., October 27.-A few weeks ago the columns of a New York newspa per contained the remarkable announce ment that a Mr. Hall, of Jacksonville, Florida, had generously donated to the indigent and evicted Irish 100,000 acres of land in central Georgia, and that it was his announced purpose to start North im mediately to deliver a series of lectures on the subject of his extraordinary gift. The unprecedented generosity attracted much attention, and the announcement was succeeded by queries as to the exact location of the donated lands and to whomi application for portions was to be made. Col. Elliott, the land agent of the South Florida Railway, whose familiarity with land owners and property in both the Pine Tree and the Peninsular States is exten sive, was seen by the Herald correspond ent. He was asked if he knew of the Mr. Hall referred to in the "take" organ. "Oh, no," replied he promptly, with a smile. "That story was a deliberate false hood. The idea is simply preposterous. Sensible people must have detected at once the absurdity of such a sensational yarn, but when' one began to receive let ters from the ignorant classes asking about the matter and soliciting early re plies then the story assumed a serious as pect. I cannot conceive of a more repre hensible move on the part of a paper than that of attempting to mislead a race of unfortunate people, on whom altogether too many impositions have already been practiced. There is nothing in it." Carolina, Knoxyllie and Western. KNoXVILLE, Ten n., Oct. 29.--Knox ville to-day voted on the proposition to subscribe 8100,0000 to the Carolina, Knoxville & Western Railroad. The subscription was carried by an ovar whelming mnajority. In a population of nearly 40,000, fourtecn vote4 wer-e polled ag'inst the proposition. The new road wilt run from Knoxville to Augusta and Port Royal, S. C. All the conties in East Tennessee and North Carolina through which tIre road is to run have voted liberal subscriptionr. The road is to be completed in eighteeni months. Work is now in progress on the South Carolina (-nd of the line. Surveys are now being made to extend the road fr-om Knoxville westward to the Cincin nati Southern Railroad. Only two months ago the city of Knoxville sub scribed $500,000 to the Powell Valley Railroadl and the Knoxville Southern Railroad, both of which are in rapid pro cess of construction. Earthquake Shocks Atnmost Daily. HAVAXA, October 28.-The mail steamer from St. Thomas that arrived here Wed nesday brought advices from Port-au Prince, October 10, which state that from September 23 up to that date shocks of earthquake had been felt almost daily on the island. In consequence a panic had seized the inhabitants, and business had been almost entirely suspended. The Asheville Citizen has the fol lowing to say of the decorations of Pelhama's drug store in that city on the recent visit of President and Mrs. Cleveland: "Pelham's drug store was one of the most tastily decorated stores on the line of procession. An immense U. S. flag with the motto: "Pelham's Welcome to the President and Wife." "All Hail our Glorious Chieftain" on the opposite side. On the front of the store was suspended a handsome flag of the State, while the entrance to the pharmecy was decorated with a flag of South Carolina-the old Ettawah battle flag. A large num ber of other beautiful decorations. It was elegantly done." The Old Grandmother Insists on the mother giving the little one Dr. Biggers' Huckleberry Cordial. She knows it will cure both young arid old of all bowel troubles, and not con stipate as many preparations do with ijurio)us effect. General B. F. Butler has declared in favor of the Democratic ticket of Mas sachiusetts. N BARNWELL'S BAD BEGINNING. 1r. B. R. Tillman Addresses the Crowd on the Rights and Wrongs of South Carolina Farmers-The Crowd Refuse to Hear Senator You mans. Special to the News and Courier. BARNWELL, S. C.. October 31.-Accord ing to invitation, Mr. B. R. Tillman ar rived here this morning for the purpose >f addressing the farmers of Barnwell ounty on the farmers' movement in the state, and give his views in regard to an agricultural college for the State. It was rranged that Senator L. W. Youmans ;hould reply to Mr. Tillman. However. before the debate commenced, he following delegates were elected to represent this county at the Farmers' Convention, to be held in Columbia on December 1: Col. D. P. Sojourner, Capt. Geo. H. Kirkland, W. R. Boynton, Dr. H. W. Kearse and Mr. J. A. Jenkins. At the conclusion of the election Col. Sojourner, in a few fitting remarks, intro duced Mr. B. R. Tillman to the assembled farmers, some three or four hundred in number. He was greeted with cheer after cheer and it was evident from the beginning that the majority of the au dience were enthusiastic Tilimanites. He said: "I am glad to be with you, to let you look me in the eyes and see if I am the demagogue that I have been painted. It has been arranged for Mr. Youmans to answer me. I have under taken a great deal to come here to attack him. But I have not come here to attack him. I shall not appeal to you. I am not hunting office, but I am battling for a cause I think right and just. Is South Carolina sick? Are the farmers sick? Do you realize your full condition? The Democrats have been in possession of this Government ten years, and yet the tax books show assessments on less now than ten years ago. There has been money made but it is concentrated in the villages and cities, and our farmers are poorei men than they were ten years ago. The solution of the problem how to farm and prosper is no nearer being solved here than in the upper country. The masses of you are not prospering. You have to beg the merchants to allow you provisions. My explanation is this. The seed were sown some years ago. In 1810 the South ern States ranked among the wealthiest of this Union. The Northern farmers have been digging their wealth from the ground and investing it in manufactories, but the South invested her money in negroes and mules. The North created a tariff to help them. We had the same chance and mon ey, .but the men who lead us advised against it. The South clamored for free trade and that was the great cause of the war. Now we are clamoring for the new South. The farmers are getting nothing of the new South. But is it not time we were learning something? Some of the men that led us in war are now clamoring for free trade and reduction. But tariff reduction is not going to remedy your evil." He then compared the farmers of South Carolina to those of the New England States, saying the latter built up manu factories and sold their products to the operatives. "We haven't them and can not get them until we work for them our selves. They are for high tariff because they are protected by our buying from them and not competing. Free trade ain't going to help you when you do get it. In addition to the fact that we have no man. ufacturing population, and therefore nc local market, we are driven to the wall by Western products." He then advised the farmers to raise their own rations. He spoke of the large amount of money sent to South Carolina from abroad for cotton, but said it had al] gone back for provisions, "and now we are nearly paupers. There are plenty of ways you could better yourselves if you only knew how. I have got to it now-my crank-the agricultural college. I say ig norance is at the bottom of our troubles. Extravagance and laziness have come on. I say we need an educated class of farm ers who have been taught it. It is a man who is never satisfied that progresses. It is those who men call cranks that move this world." He then spoke for some time at random, referring to the agricultural college, what he did during the war and in '76, touched the system of tagging guano, which he p ronounced as useless, and branded the South Carolina College's agricultural de partment a humbug and a fraud. He said the college was to have been opened as an agricultural one in 1882, when the board of directors was composed entirely of law yers and teachers. "With South Caroli na's sixty thousand farmers they couldn't find a single man whom they thought fit to put on the board of trustees. They al so composed the board of visitors entirely of lawyers and ministers. We've got too much lawyer both in Washington and Co lumnbia. They are ruining this country. While in Columbia last year I heard of lawyers accepting fees to pass bills. If a college has an agricultural department tacked on the latter never prospers. That has been proven. The South Carolina College never turned out but two farmers and the Citadel one, but they knew noth ing about it." He then continued his argument in fa vor of the agricultural college in the same strain of his recent articles in the News and Courier. He concluded by giving the agricultu ral stations recently established and the officers of the agricultural department of the State some fearful stabs, dwelling particularly upon Col A. P. Butler. He said: "They collected a large amount of money, but nobody examined their books. I accuse them of extravagance and incom petency. They are not fit to manage an agricultural bureau." He then gave Prof. Chazal a parting shot and ended by saying: "You farmers are stagnated; you should read agricultu ral journals and discuss the best methods among yourselves. I advocate the abol ishing of the agricultural stations and having an agricultural college, and I now nominate myself for a trustee of this col lege, and I depend upon the farmers of the State to put me there." The speech was received with marked applause throughout, and at its conclu sion the applause lasted fully two minutes. Senator Youmans was then introduced. He said: "It gives me pleasure to wel come Mr. Tillman here." At this point the audience interrupted him with cries of "Tillman! Tillman! Sit down; we don't want to hear from you," &c. Mr. Tillman arose and begged the audi dience to cease their cries. Mr. Youmans said, referring to Mr. Till man's efforts to regain quiet: --I consider this action on the part of a man from an other county officious in the extreme." This was greeted with cries of "Tillman! Tillman!" and loud cheering. Mr. You mans attempted to continue, but the crowd would not hear him. The chairman made a plea to them and so did Mr. Tillman, but of no avaiL Men in the audience tried to stp the cheering, but without success, until finally the chair man threatened to adjourn the meeting. It then partly ceased, when both speakers arose on the stage at once and began con radicting each other. This greatly excited the crowd, many of whom had been drinking heavily, and for an hour it seemed a general fight would e the result at any moment. Mr. You mans would every now and then get in ~a rew words from which it was evident to bhe audience that he was a thorough match for his opponent. Mr. Tiliman would rise and interrupt him and then the ,rowd would cheer again. It was evident :hat they did not intend to hear from :heir Senator, and after about two hours pent in attempting to regain order the yhairman became disgusted and ad iourned the meeting. In justice to the good people of Barn ell I must say that a large portion of the mdience were roughs, and from their itions it was evident they came prepared :o break up the meeting without giving Nir. Y. umans a chance of being heard. Sean whiskey, of course, had a great deal ;o do with it. Mr. Tillman announced that he would address the farmers of Marlboro' to-mor 'ow . E.WB. Death of Rev. Dr. J.P. Smeltzer. The Rev. J. P. Smeltzer, D. D., died last Monday morning at the residence of his son, Mr. John B. Smeltzer, in Charleston, S. C.. where the funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon by Rev. Dr. Mul ler, of St. Matthew's German Lu theran church, and Rev. Dr. Horn, of St. John's Lutheran church. The remains were taken to Walhalla on Tuesday for burial. The following tribute to his mem ory, taken from the News and Courier, is a befittirg testimonial to the char acter of this distinguished and be loved minister: "He was one of the oldest, as he was likewise one of the ablest and best ministers of the Lutheran Church in South Carolina. "Dr. Smeltzer was born in Fred erick county, Maryland, September 10, 1819. He received a liberal edu cation, and about the time he reached manhood was ordained a minister of the Lutheran Church. He was for several years principal of a well known and popular educational in stitution at Harper's Ferry,Virginia, and was at different times pastor of the churches at Shepherdst.own and Salem, Virginia. In 1861, so great had become his reputation as an in structor, that he was elected presi dent of Newberry College in this State. He removed to South Caro lina and conducted the affairs of this institution with singular ability, when the college was located at New berry, and after its removal to Wal halla until 1879, when the college was again taken back to Newberry. In that year he resigned the presi dency of the institution, and estab lished at his mountain home the Valhalla Female College. of which he was the bead until 1885. During his labors as a teacher Dr. Smeltzer, did not discontinue his work in the pulpit, and was pastor of the Spring Hill Lutheran church. in Lexington county. Last spring, his health having given way under the cease less toil of many years, Dr. Smeltzer! came to Charleston, where he spent the last few months of his life. "Dr. Smeltzer was a very forcible preacher. He was possessed of pro found powers of analysis, and preached with great effectiveness. For his theological learding the de gree of Doctor of Divinity was con ferred upon him by Erskine College. His attainments were solid. He did not indulge in oratorical pyrotech nics in the pulpit, but preserved at all times a proper respect for the work of his exalted mission. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him, for his eminent piety, his transparent truthfulness, and for the solid oak of which his life was built. His death will be sincerely deplored by the Lutherans of the State and by none more sincerely than by the Luthera'ns of Charles ton." NEWS IN BRIEF. Eleven new cases of yellow fever one death were reported from Tampa Oct. 30. The weather was cooler, and the outlook more favorable. Ther mnometer, 53 degrees. Queen Victoria has another grand child-the Princes Beatrice, who mar ried Henry, of Battenberg, having just been delivered of a daughter. Gen. Ferron, Minister of War, has prohibited military music at Clermont F errand, because it promoted demon strations in favor of Boulanger. Johns Hopkins University holds 17,000 shares of Baltimore and Ohio stock, which has steadily yielded $136, 000 in income. The institution may really be crippled by the depreciation ~of this investment. Dr. Schliemann has made his will, leaving his valuable collection at Ath ens to the Berlin Ethnological Mu seum. The institution will ultimate ly, therefore, contain all the collec tions of antique relics made by the learned gentleman. The present Yale freshman class, the largest that ever entered that col lege, is said to be the weakest finan cilly. Fully half of them do not spend over $5 a week. There are some that spend more. One of them is young Armour, of Chicago, whose al lowance is $100 a week. Jas. E. Smith, express messenger, who recently killed two train robbers near El Paso, Texas, was paid S2,000 by order of Governor Ross as a reward for his act. Smith will probably get S2,000 more from the Express Com pany and $1,000 from the railroad company, making a total of $5,000. Nineteen Italians who came to this country on the Independente from Italy have been found in Chicago and one in Baltimore and their effects burned. Thorough search is being made for the others, as there is danger of cholera breaking out next spring from'the infection of their clothing. Saturday, November 26, been appointed the day for the spen1al elec tion to decide whether Atlanta shall continue as a nominal prohibition city. The registration books are now open an the voters are registering every da.y. Both sides are actively at work, and the election promises to be one of great interest. San Diego, Cal., has ihiaugurated a new way of "blowing'" the town. The fine brass band of that city has been sent on a tour over the North, even to Boston, blowing about San Diego, and distributing illustrated and descriptive papers, at a cost of about $20,000. That is certainly a new departure in the real estate advertisinig line. A terrific gale raged in the south of England on Saturday night, Oct. 29). Many buildings were unroofed, and there were numerous shipping casual ties in the channel. A boat with a party of twelve persons, which left Weyinouth for a night's trawling, was capsized and ten of the party were drowned. A sloop was wrecked off Dunkirk and four men were drowned. Paris was also visited by a severe gale, which did considerable -damage to property. Among the successful men who were telegraph operators in early life are Andrew Carnegie, Theodore N. Vail, of the Bell Telephone Company; Ex-Gov. Bullock, of Georgia; Ex-Gov. Cornell, of New York; WV. J. Johnson, the publisher; E. H. Johnson, presi dent of the Edison Company; Thos. A. Edison, D. H. Bates, the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph, and Col. Richard Clowry, Western su perintendent of the Western Union. The Secretary of State is in receipt of a note from the Chinese minister at Washington, returding by direction of his government, a portion of the Rock Springs indemnity lately appropriated i by Congress, which represents the 1 amount of six claims, which, in the final distribution of the appropriation, have been ascertained to be duplica tions. Mr. Bayard has acknowledged this honorable action of the Chinese - Government. The amount so refunded I will be covered into the treasury. Yew Advertisements.
