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 lde 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 Commissioner. 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 Chroniicle, of Sunday, ~-h&a 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 is 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 b.-gin preparations for an expositieu of 83me kind during the closing says 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 I upper section of the State would prefer for Charleston to control these t lines of road to their getting into the a hands of the Richmond and Danville, for in that case they would be at thec mercy of one systsm. A little coin- 1 petition, even in railroads, is a good e thing. If the report be true,we hope c Charleston will bestir herself and do i, something-. .~. The News and Courier directs y Char.eston's attention to this matter, 1 and insists that something be done, s and at once,to keep the Richmond and t Danville system from corntrolling any r more roads in this State. A deputation from Great Britain 1: called on President Cleveland on o Monday to secure his co-operation in ti the adoption of a treaty between this a country and Great Britain which shall r provide for the amicable settlement 7 of all disputes, which may arise, by ., arbitration. The object is to get Mr. as rZlaeland to bring the matter before tl uogress 'uzLhis annual message. The cc memorial which is pre~ented by Great f Britain is signed by 233 members of Parliament, which is more than one third of the whole membership of the w: House of Commons. Mr. Playfair, es in presenting. the memorial to Presi- a dont Cleveland, says: "If our two countries succeed in settling political w< differences by arbitration it will give ar an eminent illustration that nations te ha as well as individuals, can compose g 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- e vitation was presented to him while in Macon, Ga., last week. In decli_-1 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 t~ 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- 1 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 I road to travel as a rule, anyway, than the big thief ? We agree with the Press and Ban 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 eerned. 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 Justicet the trial of petit larceny. The Trial Justice system is very ansatisfactory in many particulars, but we need an inferior court withc summary powers, and unless we had ~ something better to offer we will not f attempt to pull it down. In fact we ~ believe if we could always get good c nen as Trial Justices, and mran who inderstood something of the law, the resent system, with a few changes, e ivould be about as good as any. We ihink, however, they should be sala- ( -ied officers,and not have to depend at 9 LIl upon the fees of the oifice. And the :onstables should be paid in the same S ray. It would remove a temptation, a rhich, under the present system, is r ometimes a stumbling block. o -- t] The prohibition campaign is be- s oming lively in Atlanta again. The 4lection is ordered for the 20th No- ~ ~ember. The question is already a ~ttracting considerrble atten'tion in s] Ltlanta, and the campaig~n is in full a last. Sam Jones and Reuben Ar- a told are to have a joint discussion on he subject soon, and it will no doubt n ,ttract large crowds. From the account given in Satur Lay's News and C'ourier, by the Co- a amnbia correspondent who .has re ently been in Atlanta, anui from thers who have been there, Atlanta not much of a prohibition town. It eems that there is plenty of mean & rhisk-ey to be had without any trou le and at- exorbitant prices, under ach names as "rice beer" and "nerve mnic," which is nothing but an infe- 4 or article of beer~ n~ky.r 'hese plaetsnav been open all the n Ime-'ccording to accounts, and sell- ' ig mean whiskey at big prices with- Sc at license In a p)rohibition town. At ~ iat rate prohibition will not do m Luch to advance the cause of tempe ar mece. Intemperance is a great evil. tr here can be little doubt of this. If w e could make prohibitionists such an Mr. Powderly, master workman of e Knights of Labor, says he is, we fe' uld have prohibition that prohibits. th e says, referring to the p)rohibiti6n we LeStion: th; "It is not my desire to interfere th4 .th a man's right to drink when- sP er and wherever he desires, so long ch by the exercise of that right he es not infringe upon any rights of we ne.

Ir. B. R. Tillman Addresses the Crowo on the Rights and Wrongs of South Carolina Farmers-The Crowd Refuse to Hear Senator You mans. Special to the Neiws and Courier. BanWELL, S. C.. October 31.-Accord ng to invitation, Mr. B. R. Tillman ar ived here this morning for the purpos f addressing the farmers of Barnwel )ounty on the farmers' movement in th itate, and give his views in regard to as gricultural college for the State. It wa rranged that Senator L. W. Youman hould reply to Mr. Tillman. However, before the debate commenced he following delegates were elected t< epresent this county at the Farmer onvention, to be held in Columbia ox )ecember 1: Col. D. P. Sojourner, Capi eeo. H. Kirkland, W. R. Boynton, Dr. H V. Kearse and Mr. J. A. Jenkins. At the conclusion of the election Co ;ojourner, in a few fitting remarks, intrc Luced Mr. B. R. Tillman to the assemble armers, some three or four hundred i: iumber. He was greeted with chee Lfter cheer and it was evident from th )eginning that the majority of the ar lience were enthusiastic Tillmanites. He said: "I am gladto be with you,t et you look me in the eyes and see if m the demagogue that I have bee >ainted. It has been arranged for M Eoumans to answer me. I have undei aken a great deal to come here to attac iim. But I have not come here to attac iim. I shall not appeal to you. I ai iot hunting office, but I am battling for sause I think right and just. Is Sout larolina sick? Are the farmers sick Do you realize your full condition? Th Democrats have been in possession of thi 3overnment ten years, and yet the ta >ooks show assessments on less now tha en years ago. There has been mone nade but it is concentrated in the village cnd cities, and our farmers are poorE nen than they were ten years ago. Th olution of the problem how to farm an >rosper is no nearer being solved hei han in the upper country. The mass( >f you are not prospering. You have t >eg the merchants to allow you provision Jy explanation is this. The seed wei ;own some years ago. In 1810 the Souti )rn States ranked among the wealthiest < his Union. The Northern farmers has >een digging their wealth from the groun amd investing it in manufactories, but th south invested her money in negroes an nules. The North created a tariff to hel hem. We had the same chance and mor )y, but the men who lead us advise igainst it. The South clamored for fre rade and that was the great cause of th var. Now we are clamoring for the ne, south. The farmers are getting nothin )f the new South. But is it not time w were learning something? Some of th nen that led us in war are now clamorin :or free trade and reduction. But tari -eduction is not going to remedy you vil." He then compared the farmers of Sout Jarolina to those of the New Englan states, saying the latter built up mant actories and sold their products to th >peratives. "We haven't them and car iot get them until we work for them oux elves. They are for high tariff becaus hey are protected by our buying fror hem and not competing. Free trade ain ,oing to help you when you do get it. I: ddition to the fact that we have no man ifacturing population, and therefore n ocal market, we are driven to the wall b; Vestern products." He then advised the farmers to rais heir own rations. He spoke of the larg Lmount of money sent to South Carolin rom abroad for cotton, but said it had a] ~one back for provisions, "and now we ar iearly paupers. There are plenty of way ou could better yourselves if you onl; new how. I have got to it now-in rank-the agricultural college. I say ig orance is at the bottom of our troubled xltravagarice and laziness have come or say we need an educated class of farm rs who have been taught it. It is a maa rho is never satisfied that progresses. I s those who men call cranks that mov his world." He then spoke for some time at randoir eferring to the agricultural college, wha Le did during the war and in '76, touche< he system of tagging guano, which h, pronounced as useless, and branded th< ',outh Carolina College's agricultural de artmnent a humbug and a fraud. He sai< be college was to have been 3pened as ai gricultural one in 1882, when the boar< >f directors was composed entirely of law -ers and teachers. "WVith South Caroli a's sixty thousand farmers they couldn' ida single man whom they thought fi e put on the board of trustees. They al o composed the board of visitors entirel: f lawyers and ministers. We've got to< auch lawyer both in Washington and Co amabia.

Tha as been proven. The South Caroline 'ollege never turned out but two farmern nd the Citadel one, but they knew noth ug about it." He then continued his argument in fa or of the agricultural college in the samt brain of his recent articles in the New nd Courier. He concluded by giving the agricultu. ul1stations recently establishe~d and thE flcers of the agricultural department o: 1e State some fearful stabs, dwelling articularly upon Col. A. P. Butler. He tid: "They collected a large amount oi oney, but nobody examined their books accuse them of extravagance and incom etency. They are not fit to manage ax gricultural bureau." He then gave Prof. Chazal a parting 10t and ended by saying: "You farmers re stagnated; you should read agricultu il journals and discuss the best methodi nong yourselves. I advocate the abol hing of the agricultural stations and aving an agricultural college, and I now aminate myself for a trustee of this col ge, and I depend upon the farmers of ie State to put me there." The speech was received with marked >plause throughout, and at its cone] on the applause lasted fully two min< Senator Youmans was then intr ud e said: "It gives me pleai >me Mr. Tillman here." we At this point the audie itrrpe Lm with cries of ' Til an!

NEW YoRK, October 30.-The recep tion given to the President in the South has disarmed the oldest and most persitent 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 deamea :or and of the manner in which 1 he was received, the Southern residents of New York have been not less pleased 1 than the people whom he visited. 3Mr. Algernon S. Sullivann, the dis titnguished 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 noz felt themselves close to a President t 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 and high compliment to the South itself when he took it for granted that the people de r 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 enthuriastic:patriotism. I only wish that sonie of the sectional demagogues of the North had acted as the great body of the Southern people have." ~ Mr. Virginius Dabney, the teacher and novelist, a member of the Virginia Dabney family. said . a "The Pre.-ident's utterances and his reception have made an end forever of , sectionalism. The South accepts the - advanced views of the President-his e civil service reform policy-I believe, s more thoroughly than the Democrats of the North." a The Rev. Dr. Chas F. Deems an swered the inquiry of your correspond r ent by saying promptly : r"I watched the President'., Southern tour with great interest. It has in e creased my respect for him as a man and as a Chief Magistrate. I believe that it will he beneticial to the whole country. Ile was right in saying that whatever was settled hy the war m: t;.ay settled. And he did not go abeat as a ruler, but as the servant of thne 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 : B "I do not wish to be interviewed on e this subject. becau;e 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 1 success; and he is the strongest man of r either party with the people. The busi ness interests of the country will re 2 elect him. He paid the South the con 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,, 3Mr. Dabney and Mr. ? Sullivan, each having the right by his position to speak for the business, the t 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. 3 No Truth in the Story of Free Land for Evicted Irish Tenants. From the New York Herald. 3 M.&cos, G&., October 27.-A few weeks ago the columns of a New York newspa e per contained the remarkable announce - mnent that a Mr. Hall, of Jacksonville, Florida, had generously donated to the inietand evicted Irish 100,000 acres of land in central Georgia, and that it was his nnonce pupos tostart North im mediately to deliver a series of lectures on the subject of his extraordina.ry 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 whom 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." 1 Carolina, Knoxville and Western. KNoXVILLE, Tentn., Oct. 29.-Knox ville to-day voted on the proposition to subscribe $!00,0000 to the Carolina,i Knoxville & Western Railroad.

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 -ew6 and Courier, is a befitting 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 Chured. 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 Walhalla Female College. of which he was the head 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." N4EWS IN BRIEF.
