The municipal election in Columbia I resulted in the choice of the regular i nominees of the I)enoeratic party. 1 There was considerable newspaper a writing about one of the nominees, a J. M. Smith, who was at one time a r Republican in the State Senate. Mr. Smith claims, to be a Democrat now g and for the past twelve years. le was nominated at the primary election, and e party allegiance caused many )eno- v crats to vote for htimmt who otherwise a would not possibly have done so. At t any rate the )emlocrrcy seets to be c solid at the eaital. Col. C. H. Suber informs The Herald an' News tnat he is not a candidate for t delegate from South Carolina to the National Deniovratic Convention in St. Louis in June. He is in favor of the renomination of 'Mr. Cleveland how ever. Or, rather, as (ol. Suber expresses it, he is in favor of the convention rati- 1 fying the action of the people, inasmuch u as Mr. Cleveland has already been re noninated by the people. Col. Suber t was a member of the convention four years ago, that nominated Mr. Cleve- e land, and heartily favors his nomina tion for a second term. t ( There has been considerable discus- t sion and expression ofopinion anongst , the press of the State on the question of holding one of the State Conventions at some other place than Columbia. We can see o reason why one of the con ventions should not be held at some other place than Columbia. Wedo not hold that opinion because we think Columbia is "a cess pool of corruption" a as some papers have charged against others holding this opinion, neither are o we prompted by sectional prejudice. We s feel an interest in Columbia as much as any otlher town in the State. Yet we cannot see any reasonl why it miight not be a good ideca to hold a convention occasionally at sonme other point. a Ha~rper's Weekly iln speaking of Re- t publican leaders and presidential possi- g bilities says of Mr. Bilaine in this con- e neetion: "To-day 'the nomination is e anybody's', and that is precisely the x ~tuat' > ini which, unless some other t caT - re gains an early and decisive a lead, Mr. Blainie's name is likely to be a thrown into the convention, securing a the norhination by a hurrah, and leaving him to decide, what he has not yet said, t - whether he will accept it." C Just so, and it will not take much of s a prophet to see whajt Mr. Blaine will s do under such1 a trying ordeal. Mr. fi Blaine is anxious to be presidlent and a i nomination by his patrty is one step in c that direction, but as opposed to Mr. c Cleveland. the next step, that of an a election by the people, is a longer one thani Mr. Blai.ie will he able to make. t Ani intternationtal cogress of women was- held in Washington last week. They~ advocated womani suffraze. and a ntuniber of other foolish thing.s of which ~ the woment of our sectiont care very lit tie for. There were many strong mind t Woman'ms sobere is ntot in the forum or at the b allot bo'x, andt we are glad 1 that a large mtajority of Southern wo mten pare but little for these things and " prefer to "rule the world'' by "rockin the cradle."'

' SENATOR SLIGH SPEAKS AGAIN. le Advocates an Agricultural College Pur and Simple, Separate and Distinct from any other Institution for the Bene fit of the Farmers of the State. o the Editor of The Herald and New; The history of the agitation of an a icultural college in the State is we] :nown to all who have read the paper t is also further known that the fai tiers of the State, in convention assen >ted, asked the Legislature to establisi uch an institution, and that that hod; ristead of doing this passed the bill e: ablishing a university out of the Sout] :arolina College, with a school of agr' ulture and mechanics connected ther( rith, and in this way absorbed th noney appropriated by the Nationi ivernment for such schools. Now, i uch a school connected with a literar: ustitution what the farmers of th tate desire? Will it bring about tia levation, increased education ani rosperity amoig the farmers, whicl is claimed, an agricultural collegc ure and simple, would accomplisli nd will it confer upon them that socia id political standing in the State an, ation to which they are entitled? Setting aside, for the present, th reat advantages to accrue from a su erior agricultural education to all agri ulturalists and the country at larg riich point has been well and abl; rgued by others, I will first attepl] u show that the school of agricultur onnected with the South Carolina Co] ge will Iot-cainot from the ve: ature of things, aceoniplish for th urmers of the State what an agrieu: ural college, pure and simple, manage nid c:>ntrolled by the farmers then: ALves would accomplish. It is a recognized fact, and one 'we: stablished by experience and observ: ion aniong all thinking people, bot: a Church and State, that institution f learning for the training of th -oung are absolutely necessary to giv one, respectability and influence t the cause or causes that bring them int xistence. Hence, in this and othe ,tates where each religious denomin ion is working to advance its variou uterests and growth, and thereby at omiplish greater good to the world, w nd literary institutions and theolog: al seminaries established,and in man: Qst-lces liberally endowed. At thi .y, and in this progressive age, no d< omination, wise in its own generatior rith a zeal and love for its peculiar do< rines, and with a strong desire to d ood, would even think of car&% ing o: :s holy work without such institution, nd any denoluinatioll attempting sue' thing would soon be absorbed by th thers. The alumni, students and es tudents of these institutions, are get rally their best friends and strongei dvocates, and those who were stU ents together, or educated at th nime institutionl, are generally stron nd sympathizing friends one wit: nlothler. And these are they, a hey go forth into the world, wh ive tone, respectability and iit nee~ to their alma mater and to th ause she represents. The impression lade on the minds of tihe young a bese institutions are. generally lasting nid cling to the man all through hi fter-life, governing and controlling hi ctions in 110 small degree. If such be true of the kind of institi ions noticed, is not the same thing tru f State inistitutionis, rnd in some rt pects inltensely true? An institutio: ulported by the State from the ver; >ree of circunstances becomes a polil a.d inistitution when there is stamIpe< n1 the minds of its students politice pinions that cling to thenm in thei fter-life. Such an institution is recognized b; lie law-making power of the State. It oard of trustees are elected by the Les slature fromi among the leading men c lie State, amnd its faculty all feel thai hey are the servanlts of the State an< re amenable to it; and consequent; Lie political views, opinions and feel is of those who control such an insti ation are stamlped deep down into th earts and lives of its students, an< Old to them ever afterwards. Whel ach go forth inlto the world it is to us lhatever imfluence they may have fo irthering the interests of that institu .on1 and thei? fellow-students, an< lose who xmy be in full sympath: rith them. For a long period of years South Car ina has been governed by a politica lment-within the Democratic party nd tile facts just goticed reveal to u 'le most5 pronlmnent feature of th. tuses which have led to this state o ftiirs. This is so obvious that no mai -ill have the hardyhood to deny it; es ecially when lhe remiembers that ante or to the war, anid before our denom rational colleges hlad put ini so much Kellent work, that it was the niex ain~g to all impossibility for any ma -ho was not a graduate of the South arolina College or Military Academ: be eleeted to any high office. Tiler< iight have beeni, anid I suppose wvere: w isolated exceptions. Tile genera lie, however, was that the politicians' tatesmenl amnd office-hlolders were edui ited at the State inIstitutionis, amid tha me work or trainling (done by those ill :itutions gave shape to the politicai [inions anid viw of their student nd were disseminated by then iroughout the State am ong tile people These facts are cited not.with any in mmtioni to p)rejudice any one agains lose institutions, for they are doing: iod work, but inl ordersimply to prov 1 anl indirect wvay tile propositionl lai< own inl tile headling of this letter, an< >show, imn as forcible manner as possi l to the farmers of the State, the grea uportance to them of having unlde icir owni 'onitrol anId mianagemlent al Istitutionl that will niot only he: ieans of increasinig the fertility of thei >i1 anid eniablinig theml to nmake belle rops, and1( thcreb)y imore money, bu 'mat will give tone and respectability ta leir occupaltion,. returni to the farm: irger pe'r cent. of their sonms, and eonfe ponl themi a power and1( influenee i1 he State amnd nkationl which they hay ever yet enjoyed. Ally canidid hmid, not warped b; rejudice can see at once thlat the Sout) arolinai anlnex, or Schiool of Agricul are cani never, uder its presenit mar gemenclt, con fer upon the farnmers of th tate anythinlg like the benefits and in uences herein mientlioned. We might as well expect to "gathe res of thnonrn r isnf thisties" a to expect such fruits froi such a source. e All the surroundings forbid such ex- I e peetations; citizens, teachers, trustees, r visitors, associates, all in sympathy with the University under its present I management. Agriculture is not made F the principal or leading study, and s that which is the less prominent will t I be :'ade to yield to that which is the s - more prominent. The trustees being oppoSecd to an tigricultural college,'pure and simple, seem to think that if it is at e 1 all necessary to give boys an agricul- I tural education, that this must he done at a literary institution, where they are t 1 surrounded by influences that will take 1 care of their polities. I vote to the a board of ,trustees of the South Carolina ( e College great credit for the wisdom lis . played in the management of tiheaflairs f s of that institution. They are certainly i a very shrewd, as well as a very wise, I e set of men. They are determined that t no man who is not in full sympathy t I with their views, shall ever, if they can C help it, be elected as one of their nui- r her. They want no opposing views to their ideas and plans as to how such an 1 institution should be run, and as to the 1 kind of fruit it should bring forth. Thus it is reasonable to suppose that e they use the greatest precaution to elect - no man as a professor of that institution - who is not in full sympathy with them. , The journal of both houses of the legislature will show a vote taken be t tween some of the true, tried and faith e ful, as candidates for a position on the board of trustees, and othe.rs who were mistrusted as to their allegiance to the t e management of the ('ollege. 'This oc curred during the session of 1886, and it t 1 is known that some faithful work was i done to keep out the two suspected fel- 1 lows. The same determinaition on the . part of the advocates of the University was shown during the session of 1887. !1 According to the Act changing the law s in relation to the board of awrriculture, e one farmer or agriculturist from each f e judicial district, and two from the State J 0 at large, had to be elected as members 0 of said board. By virtue of their being r farmers, and the University being - established with a school of agriculture s connected therewith, these were also to be nemibers of the board of trustees of e the University. The Act did not say < what kind of farmers these were to be- t 7 it gave no description of them, but evi s dently a certain kind was meant. It was not enough that .a man was a far- r , mer, a true and tried Democrat, and possessing the necessary general quali o fieations to fill the position, but he must t ni be something else-he must be in full ; sympathy with the University, to be a run and managed in a peculiar way ; e and he must not be a friend and advo cate of a separate agricultural college, < or a Tillman man. Now I do not men t tion these facts in the way of condemn -ing t.he trustees and friends of this e University-they, I suppose, did what'4 s they conceived to be their duty, and I a give them credit for it. They want a s certain kind of University, managed ini 0 a certain way, in order to accomplish a certain kind of wvork and bring about e certain results, and they, of course, to s accomplish all this, umust have men( t who wvill work with them. Trhey are , doing just as I want the farmers to do s when they get their agricultural col S lege, and just as I believe they are going to do ; for after all, this is about the ( -only plan by which all these certain e things can be effected. And I bring up all these things to show the farmers, 1 without they are ready to go ill and(l f take possession, in part or in whole of -tile University, that there is no hopet I for themi from that institution, and tof I show the importance of having an in r stitution under their own control and management that will enable them to Schoose their own board of trustees, and s thereby their own teachers, and( to ac -comp)lish for themselves and their 1 f children a certain kind of work that t t can't or won't be done for them hy any I other political element in the State of I SSouth Carolina. The farmers ask the - privilege, as citizens and taxpayers of - the State, of doing for themlselves what f Sour fellow citizens and taxpayirs aret I doing for themselves through the South 1 Carolina College. Thal~t's all. These Scitizens are actuatedl by certaiin motives, r and1 we, too, are act uatedl by certain - motives. They may say that we are i selfish, and that this is all gammon ande Sdemagogueisnm. In tile name of coml mon sense, of what are they guilty ? - They have, for a long time, and are 1 yet, enjoying a very large slice of thei ,State's po)liticall loaf of bread. We are t Shungry and want at least a small slice, just to see how it does taste. We see f what a wonderful influence an institu tion of tihe kind has in controlling tile - - affairs of the State, and seeir g thlis - makes us the more anxious to have one - under our management. Then, in all 1 sincerity, I say to the people of the I t State, "Let us have peace." Let the two elements comnposinlg tile Demo cratic party feel, one for the other, thati Seach has its righlts andl privileges. Lfet l the South Carolina (College !and the i Citadel Academy still receive the sup 1 port and fostering care of the State, at ,least to an extent that will not place too - heavy burdens upon the taxpayers. t And on the samle principle, let there be - established by tile State an agricultural college for her farmers, who are among s her best, miost worthy and conserv ativ e i citizens.

Ap)ril 30d, M, S. AFTER THE TOWN OF AIKEN. L Georgia Lawyer Claiim the Site am Him Property. [Special to News and Courier.] AiGUSTA, April 2.-Here's a big and tenuine sensation for South Carolina! A young Georgian, and an editor at hat, passed through Augusta this af ernoon on his way to Aiken to begin a awsuit for the recovery of the entire own. Think of Aiken, the greatest -esort in the South and the richest of he smaller cities in Carolina, all Clam -d by one iman ! The young man is Julien B. Rodgers, Me of the editors and the business man ger of the Macon Evening News. He s well known to the writer, and is one if the finest young fellows in the South. e is a handsome, well-built man, a action larger t:ian Samuel Y. Tupper, fr., and almost as good-looking as that ,omely and popular you.ig Charleston an. He was born in Waynesboro, near ugusta, and since leaving college in 4aeon some years ago he has been en paged in journalism in that city. He vas married ax)ut two years ago to a ovely Georgia girl, and they have a )right little boy, whom they will re !hristen Lord of Aiken, if thef recomer hat beautiful town. The News and Courier representative nterviewed Mr. Rodgers as he was vaiting for the Aiken train this altr ion, and he feels confident of establish ng his claim. His attorneys in Aiken Lre Col. A. G. Hammond and John .ary Evr ns, and they have examined he records of Aiken and adjoining -ounties of Barnwell and Edgefield, nd inform him that they have ample vidence to begin his suit. They have irged his presence in Aiken before Wed 1esday, and they hope thereby to re sover a large part of the property witi ut any contest, as on that day certain eases expire, which, if Mr. Rodgers )uts in objections, it will be legally im >)ssible to rene^ r. He is now in Aiken, -onsultinig Messrs. Hammond & Evans, Lnd they will begin the suit at once. It seeins that many years ago Rodg ~rs's grandfather, Beverly M. Rodgers, if Augusta, purchased about 700) acres f land in and around the elevation ipon which is now built the town of iken. He bought it as a speculation nd dleeded certain lots to the South arolina Road, provided the company vould establish a station and town. Sr. Rodgers died very suddenly and 1s affairs were considerably mixed. Iis children were all small, and when :he father of the present Julien Rodg trs took charge of affairs the deeds were ost, anmd the bare fact that his father eld some land in Carolina was all that 1c knew of the p'.rehase. Meanwhile ettlers took possession of Aiken and it ~rewv to be a town. Fictitious sales seem o have been effected, and while the eed of the elder Rodgers was recorded here seemed to be no record of (deeds rom him to p)urchasers of much of the and that is now innocently held by eal buyers. The Rodgers family slept >v their rights until recently, when n aunt in Texas wrote to Julien ad .ising him to look up the 01(d records. I took hold of the matter and the awyers have disegvered a pretty warm rail in the way of evidence, showing hat at least two( hundred acres in and rounid Aiken have never properly assed out of the possession of the odgers fami ly. Mr. Barney Dunbar, prominenlt anid wealthy citizen of Au ~usta, who is related to the Rodgers ~amily, seems to have called the matter o mind, and as he is an old resic.ent md familiar with Carolina, he wrote to is relative in Texas advising that the natter be looked into, with what effet na be seen and with what results the ~arolinia Courts will show. Mr. Rodgers does not know as yet that part of Aikenm is affected by his laim, but his information is that the hole towvn is included, and if so the ittle city will be considerably shaken Ip. It is ani important and serious natter to Aiken, and it is also quite mportant to Mr. Rodgers. He says hat three of his family will share with in whatever he can recover, and lie vill push the suit for all it is worth. ~his*neans that hundreds and hundreds ,f thousands of dollars of property in ~iken are at stake. AIKEN NOT A LARMED. AIKEx, April 3.-Aiken people are mot at all disturbed at the prospect of osing the land on which the town is ,uilt. When the News and Courier ap eared this mnornling, announeing in >ig head lines Mr. Julien B. Rodgers' mnmense claim, it caused quite a ripple, ut it was a ripp)le of amusement. A iroad smile overspread the countenance f every or.e who read the article.- Your respondent met Mr. Julieni Rodg.ers, .nd found in him a rising young jour malist of Macon. He thought that the ewspaper article did him an injustice ud somewhat exaggerated matters. -e saidl he had quite fallen in love with %iken, and thought it one of the pretti st >laces in the South. He leaves here or Mfacon, Ga., to-nigtht, leaving his nterests in the hands of his attorneys, bajor Spanni Hammond and Mr. John J#arv Evans. Mr. James Aldrich read the account in ie News and Courier, and said that he best thing about the claim was that t advertised Aiken as a health resort. -e treated the matter lightly and was lisposed to think nothing would conme Mr. B. P. Chatfield, of the Highland 'ark Hotel, was questioned. "Yes I vonder who wrote that burlesque?" The Hon. D. S. Henderson was very >uv but found time to say that the laim wasL all bosh, that Beverly Rodg rs sold out all his title in the lands in ustiin forty years ago. Hon. 0. C. Jordan said that inl 1874 ie had occasion to look up the claim or another Rodgers heir, and found here was no ground for action. "I vouldn't give 1.5 cents for the claim. mou nmay print that in the News and ~ourier as nmy sentiment." It is the general opinion that it is a econd Woolfolk case. The A pril term f Court meets next week. The Rev. Clayton Mumma, of Read ng, Pa., and the Rev. John Connard nver, Lancaster County, Pennsylva iia, while walking on the tracks of the Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley Rail oad thlis afternoon, near Bushong fur iace, were struck by a passeDger train. 4umma wvas almost instantly killed nd Connard was so badly injured that ic (lied this evening. MORE MIND READING. Mr. Clark Develops a More Wonderful Power in This Line. [Front the Oglethorpe, Ga., Echo.] Since the discovery of this "sixth sense," as many are inclined to term it, of mind reading in so many or all our people, there has hardly been a gather ing that seances were not given. Mr. Z. H. Clark, who is such an excellent medium, has taken special interest in the new discovery, and has performed i some truly wonderful feats and made several further discoveries in connection wiih it. His latest and most wonder- 1 ful feats have been performed when only a wire served as a connecting iink be tween the brain of the person whose mind was being read and his own. He takes a common steel wire, any length, and by pressing one end of it to his forehead and temples while the subject does the same with the other end, he is governed by their minds as unerringly as if he had hold of their hands and they touching the back of his neck. What the final outcome of the discov eries made by this gentleman will be, 1 can be only conjectured. He believes that a wire miles long will conduct the thought of one person to another as well as one o'ilv a few feet. If this be tiIe, we may he'enabled to not only to read the minds of our conipanions, but as well the thoughts of persons at a dis tance. We notice that in many places trials of this new found plowrer are being made in different sections of the state and country where the news of the recent wonders performed in Lexington have been carried, and that in all cases the sense, if sense it may be termed, is found to exist more or less with every body. Scientists are beginning to look into the mattei' and we watch with in terest for their verdicts upon it. If the power is one that has ever existed in man it is strange that it should have remained unknown until this late date. Politics in Literature. (Special to the Tinies-Denocrat.] Rie(MroNn, March 24.-The ex-con federates here complain that in publish ing wpr stories certain leadiag maga Zines of the country are by no means impartial in their t 'eatnient of the south and the part taken by the leading officers of this section in the civil war. An instance of this kind is that of Gen eral W. B. Taliaferro, of this state. This gentleman furnished the Century a history of the second battle of Bull Run, which was accepted by that ma,;azine. In publishing the story, however, Gen eral Taliaferro complains that every word of the defense of Lee's strategy and every word of criticism on federal generals had been left out. The excuse for this treatment of southern authors is that northern senti nient will not yet stand such things. It is also said that the Century refused to publish the story entitled "Meh Lady," written by Mr. Tomi Page, of this city, until he had altered the plot and made the southern heroine of the story marry a northern soldier. Laughing at Our Navy. [From the New York World.] The Moors of Tangier are very much disappointed because the United States mian-of-war Lancaster, which left Mon tevideo on January 17th, has not yet reached the Miediterranean. The fact is they have exhausted the sources of fun wiich pertained to the warship Enterprise and long for a new incen tive to laughter. They have learned that when the Lancaster left South America her boilers were in such a bad condition as to be practically useless. The Tangierians long to s 3e those boil ers. They have ridiculed the four guns of the Enterprise to their hearts' con tent, while the Bashaw of their city ad ded to the fun by calling the stately vessel "a leaky junk." Btit the sport furnished by the Enterprise has grown a trifle stale by this time, and the comt ing of the Lancaster is- awaited with imipatience. It is not often that the people of Trangier eatjoy a state of gener al hilarity, it would be too bad if the failure oftihe Lancaster to reach that port in the near future should throw the Moors back intto their usual condi tion of dignified and gloomy indiffer ence. .Sensation in a Mlssissipp)i Court. BnAanoX, Miss., Marcht 30.-This is the sixtht week of the trial of Colonel Hamiltor for the murder of the vountg Prohibit ion editor Ganmbrell.

Since the trial bepm it has beent a notorious fact that the p)artisantsof both sides had pistols in their pockets, and sitce the little trouble bet ween thIe opposing law yrs, two days ago, ill which the slher ift'prevented blows, a row has been i Raleigh's Runaways.
