Coker baa been pointed out and anggeeted as s m*n of eminent fitness as the next Ooveroor of the State. His own county has long given cou- ecions recognition to the facts which form the basisol the judicious sum- mode and she is neither slow to ad vocate nor lukewarm in her snp port of a son so sterling in the embodiment of the noblest virtues of manhood. Senator Coker is tree from the talot of politics—has never sought political position, and is in no sense a candidate for the office of Gover- bot j bat the people of his county who respect his modest and rotir tug dfcspoeitton, admire his eharae ter, walue his eminent ability and •cherish an ardent regard for the Christian virtues which have con ■spiououely characterized bis useful Mb, purpose that the State Conven- ttaa Shall pass upon ins merits ior the high office for which be has been so deservedly named. His record as a Senator for a period of nine Years, is second to none who have worthily aad ablyeerved the State, *1n dealing with embarrassing prob- of finance and other grave of internal administra tion, aad we venture the assertion that all his compeers will fully-ver ity this claim, and more. He is ^thoroughly conversant with the •-material condition of the State—her needs, her resoroes, her undevelop ed - capacities. He is a practical '' master in political economy, and -wfll hold the strong grasp of re- -atiaintHipon prodigal or lavish ex* - poadlture of public money.

President Cleveland has done honor once more to South Carolina in tbe appointment of Gov. H. 8. Thompson, to the |K>sitiou of assis tant Secretary of the Treasury, one of tbe most important offices under tbe government. And by no one in South Carolina is the hoiyir more deserved. The appointment meets with the cordial approbation of every one, and is considered as another evidence ot the care with which every presidential appoint ment has been made.

July 30th was the time upiioiuted for tbe Floral Fair; October 27, 28 and 29. the time for holding the annual Fall Fair. The premium list of tbe Floral Fair will appear in our next week’s issue. Tbe Direc tors look forward to asuccoss again this year end are determined to keep tbe Fairs np to tbe standard they have held in tbe past. The following from the George town Enquirer meets with the cor dial approval of the News : *‘We were treated in the Sunday Jfetot to two Jeukinsouian accounts of halls—one at Spartanburg and one .«t Laurens. The costumes of tbe belles are described with nau seating minuteness. Every cross roads town in the State, at which a country dance to the tune of a wheezy fiddle is held, feels con strained to rush into print and par ade in the columns of our metropol itan-contemporary the color, quan tity and quality of the dresses worn by the "charming and beautiful'’ dancers. When will this wave of vulgar and apish ostentation sub side and leave ns in oar old-time dignity and simplicity V This tendency of tbe modern newspaper to ape the Conrt journ als and tbe tendency of correspond •nts to pander to a false idea of good ‘taste, gives us as a descrip tion «f a ball, nothing more than that "Miss , a beantiful blond, wore cream veiling aad diamonds or -"Hiss , a charming brunette, appeared deoollette, en train, silk, with pearls” -Tbe details of the marriage of the President have been given us ad nauseam, and is on a par with tbe ball reporting. It grates on the feelings of those who look on wo man’s person as something sacred, andnt is entirely apposed to that sentiment, which demands that tbe names of oar women shall not be paraded unnecessarily before tbe public gaze. Give ns some more of tbe same kind, brother Hazard 'We have been guilty, in some do gree, of this Jenkinsonian work, but that does not make it right. A Straw. We clip tbe following from the last issue of tbe Centennary .* The coming man we found in tbe office of the Darlington Manu facturing Company—his coat off. tbe day was hot—and he enjoying a smoke. "That’s good tobacco you are smoking.” "Yes, it is; join me.” "I will if yon will let mo pull my coat off.” "Mr. Editor, I’ve long since made np my mind to surrender to you at sight Here is the ‘91 paid,’ and you have my very best wishes for your ever-enlarging prosperity.” (By way of reprisal), "Mr. Sena tor, 1 don’t suppose yoa know it, bat there is a very general talk among farmers, and business men generally, abont making yon Gov ernor.” "1 am ignorant of any movement of that kind, and tell you frankly that the position is one of high hon or, which I cannot seek, and which if tendered tome by my fellow citi- sens, I will net decline.” We like tbe honest, straight-for ward, unaffected way with whiclj he talked about it. Senator Coker is now in the prime of manhood, and has a robust physique, a splen did face and a good eye. He is a plain, practical man, well- informed, industrious and success fnl. He is a farmer, and a good one, be is identified with the man ufacturing interests also, and knows bow many cents there are in 91. He has a well-balanced mud, and an eveu temperament, and although intensely practical, he has broad, progressive views of business, and government. Should our LoiOiCope prove true, and should be be the coming mao, tbe man of business, and ef progress too, be will make a capital Governor, and will bold with firm band all the varied inter ests of tbe oommonweath in admir able equipoise. He is neither one sided uor partisan, but liberal and progreasive. On Saturday evening, abont 8 o’clock, Zach Quick was killed by Wheeler and Allison Jacobs, bro- them, being cot in fifteen places with knives. The murder occur red at the bonse of Wheeler Jacobs, in tbe Sand Hills, iu Marlboro county, near the State line. All were drinking. Tbe corner held an inquest yesterday and both tbe Jacobs were arrested last night and lodged in jail Monday. Quick was a peaceable and quiet roan when sober.

William Caleb Coker was born at Society Hill, on tbe 8th ot June 1839. He was prepared for College in his native village, and graduated at the South Carolina College in the jlass of 1859. He joined the 8ili S. C. Regiment as a private at the beginning of the war, and at the reorganization of the Regiment he was elected 1st Lieutenant iu Company ‘M,.’and soon after, on the death of his Cap tain, In- was promoted to the cap taincy ot tbe company. He was wounded in the battle of Gettys burg, and left in Maryland when the Con federate forces recrossed the Potomac. He was taken to the U. S. ptisou on Johnson’s Island and afterwards to Fort Delaware, w here he remained till near the close ot the war. Alter the war he engaged iu farming, and on the death ot his lather he entered the firm of C. Coker A Bro,, merchants of Society Hill. In 1877 he was elected to the State Senate to fill out the unexpir ed term of the notorious Whitte- more, and bus Ueu returned at each gi-uetal election tor Senator, li; the Feiirtle he ba* taken a high stand as a financier and has liu.u chad man of (hat committee ever since it was vacate*) by the lament ed Gen. Gary. In 1885 he was elected President of the Darlington Manufacturing Company and has maiiaged its affairs with distinguished ability. Captain Coker is modest and re tiring. Never seeks place, but when placed in positions of honor and trust ho fee's the respou-Mbiiity and nses ail of his e; e:g,\ and line intellect for the good of others. His official caret r so far will tuliy vin dicate the wisdom of his selec tiou. The llovesville Institute- Editor Darlinjton A eics : A little mote than a year ago, the citizens in and an nnd Dovesville held several me-tings to consider the subject of establishing a high school at this place, ami steps were taken, first of all, to provide a suit able building. Through thegenerosityofa triend an acre of land, iu a desirable loca tion, was given, and before the close of the year a very convenient, com fortable and neat building .was erected on this lot; and through the indefatigable efforts of Rev. L. T. Carroll all the necessary furni ture was provided, which consists of the latest improvements iu the way of desks, seats, maps, globes, Ac. The trustees of the school suc ceeded iu securing the services of Rev. Mr. Carroll and his sister as teachers. Outlie 17th of .lime the closing exercises of the lirst session of this school were held iu the Academy building, which can bo turned into one large ball, by means oi loioiug doors. Tbe house was beautifully decorated, for the occasion, with pictures and evergreens. The ex ercises of the evening consisted of music, both vocal ami instrumental, conducted by Mrs. Balleuger, flic music teacher, and recitations and declamations. Considering the short time in which the music schol ars had studied music, their pet- formances were remarkably good The recitations of tbe young ladies and tbe declamations of tbe young men were good. The audience dis persed about 11 o’clock, well pleas ed with their eiitertaiument. The exercises snowed careful training by tbe teachers, and earn est work by tbe scholars. The school has been offered to Rev. Mr. Carroll again, and it is confidently expected that he will begin the next session, the first Monday iu September, with a much larger attendance than he had last session. It is also expected that Mrs BMlengerwill remain at Duves- ville, and take boarders for the school and teach music. The trus tees are fortunate iu having snch excellent teacbersand there isevery reason to believe that the school cannot be excelled by any in the county. The moral and religious influences of tbe school are excel lent. Mr Carroll preaches in the Academy building twice per month, and a weekly prayer meeting is held for the benefit of the scholars and the residents of the town. The heatbfiilness and good order of Dovesville are high recommenda tions ot the place as one specially suited for a high school. Several scholars from abroad have attended during the last session, and the Principal is working to build up a first class boarding school. A correspondence with Rev. L.T. Carroll, Dovesville, S. C., will get for parents, who desire good school advantages for their children, all the necessary informa tion. R. W Lips. Solicitor Newton will not Oppose Mr. bargan for Congress. (From tbe Mtrlhoro Chronicle.) Noting the. favorable comment of the press in this district on our worthy townsman and Circnit Soli citor Mr. Newton, and tbe mention of bis name in this connection with tbe candidacy for Congress, we iu terriewed Mr. Newton and were authorized by him to say that be would not oppose oar present effici eat representative the Hon. G. W. Dargan. Mr. Newton speaks of Mr. Uargan in tbe highest terms and says that be considers him tbe most brilliant man in this Congres sional District. He furthermore says that tbe honest straight for ward independent coarse of Mr. Dargan iu Congress is highly com- meudabls and ought to be apprecia ted by tbe people. Tbe extracts below from the Cheraic Reporter give our readers information as to the route which was partly constructed last yetr. The route to Hamlet will givens another connection North, and the route to Camden which is to ulti mate reach Columbia and Augusta will give us a new route to the State Capital: At a meeting of the subscribers of the Cheraw A Camden Short Line Rail Road held at the office of Mr. H D. Mally on Monday, Maj. J. C. Coit was called to the Chair and Mr T. P. Mclver was requested to act as Secretary. After organ ization the following officers were elected: President—J 1). Harden. Directors—J. C. Coit, II. D. Mai loy, Edward Mclver, R T. Castou and N. L. Sweat Secretary and Treasurer—T. P. Mclver. The Directors were instructed to do all iu their power to encourage tbe building of the road. After passing upon several matters not public property as yet the meeting adjourned. Capt Harden has been awarded the contract for the unfinished grad ing on tbe Palmetto Road between Cheraw and Hamlet and work will be commenced at an early date. Capt. Montcue says tbe track on the Palmetto Road will be laid to the River by September. J. D. Parker has the contract for getting out tbe crossties tor the Palmetto Road and we learn that abont 6,000 have already been cut. Several car loads of steel rails have been received at Hamlet for the Palmetto Road. We learn that Messrs. Jackson A Jackson have contracted for haul ing tbe stone for the trestle now at the Depot in Cheraw to the River. It is 'confidently expected that regular passenger trains will be running on tho Palmetto Road by January. The .YefC# and Courier correspon dent from Marion, iu giving the re sult o' the county convention, says: "Tbe manner of selecting candi dates came up for discussion, and tbe primary plan was adopted by a vote ol 108 to 53. The quet lion had been agitated in the county but lit tle, there having been a disposition on the part of the hitherto conven tion advocates not to oppose at this time the effort to bring about the primary plan. The convention al most unanimously adopted the res olution to conduct the election on tbe majority system. A resolute n was also adopted favoring, so far as Marion County is concerned, the nomination of Congressmen from this district by primaly election. "With reference to nominating candidates for Congufes by the pri mary plan iu this county, .Marion is iu favor of the same, and has in structed her delegates to vote in the convention at Florence for it, hut should a majority of that couveu tiou decide to nominate by the con vention system, she does not pro pose to withdraw and vote her choice by primary. The couveu tion was harmonious in all its pro ceedings. Every township ot the county was represented, with the exception of Pee Lee. National Poultry and Bench Associa tion. Breeders of Fancy Poultry and Blooded Dogs in South Carolina, take notice. The next Annual Ex hibition and Bench Show will take place at Atlanta, Ga, January 15-22nd, 1887.

South Carolina should make a creditable exhibit at this show, and we trust that tbe breeders there wi'l not disappoint our expecta tions. The interest in Fancy Poul try cultnre is rapidly increasing, and the South must faH into line. Premium lists of tbe show will be furnished iu due time. It. J. FISHER, Sec’y., Athens, Teuti. Bnll vs. Mule. (From the Andersoo Journal.) The Darlington News mentions that a diversified specimen of ad vanced farming was seen in that town recently from the farm of Capt. P. Whipple, being a registered Holstein bull drawing a cart loaded with wool from Southdown sheep. This is a good deal better than a Kentucky mule drawing from town an Ohio wagon loaded with Virginia bay, Chicago meat, Indiana corn and Minnesota flour, with a little North Carolina tobacco, all to be used in making a little 8 cent cot ton. Let us have a little more of the bull and tbe wool in this coun try. ^ A Soldier’s Bible Relic of the Late War. Pleasant Valley, 8. O.' June 12tb, 1886. Editor Review, I have in my possession a 32 mo. New Testament, which was found at a soldiers camp near this place in the Spring of 1865 Among various inscriptions on tbe fly leaves is one as follows: John O Crockett’s Book, present ed by Parson Witherspoon, the evening of Jons 12th, 1864. Inside the breast works in Hue of battle on Turkey Ridge near Richmond, Va.” Tbe book is substantially as when found. Mr. Crockett (if alive) or any relative will receive tbe book by mail by forwarding their ad dress to John Q. Cousaet P S.—This book was issued by the American Bible Society, New York in 1864, and 1 think may have been brought through the lines by the Rev. A J. Witherspoon (now of New Orleans, La.,) who bad been in prison and who I suppose was the donor. J. Q. C. Lr. Elias Marks. (Newsaud Courier of July 2.) Dr. Elias Murks, who died at Washington, D. C., last week, was born iu this city iu 1791. He re ceived a rudimentary education here, and then went to New York, where he finished his classical and medical education. He w’as receiv ed as a partner by the celebrated Dr. Valentine Mott, and gave great promise ot success in his profession. His wife’s health tailing, Dr. Marks returned to South Carolina, and settled iu Columbia. Later on, he accepted the presidency of the Co lumbia Female College and final y built a house in tbe Sand Hills near Columbia, naming the place "Bar- bamville, iu hocor of his first wife, Miss Barham. To this structure wing after wing was added as the fame of Barham ville school spread far and wide through South Caro lina and the adjoining States. Dr. Marks was par excellence tbe foun der and first advocate of higher fe male education iu South Carolina. Three generations of Southern wo men availed themselves of the ad vantages ot Barhamville School, which was conducted by Dr. Ma^ks nutil near the beginning of tbe late war. On tbe occasion of his ninety-fifth birthday, some mouths since, letters poured iu from former pupils iu all sections of tbe State, which glad dened the old man’s heart. Since the war Dr. Marks lived iu Washington with his daughter, the wife ot Major W. N. Chamber lin, at whose residence he died. He was a man of scholarly tastes and broad culture, but, save a small volume, "Elfreide ot Guldal, Scand inavian Legend, and other Poems, published iu 1850, he has left no memorial except that moral and intellectual torce which he grafted on South Carolina womanhood. IN MKMOR1AM. William Lide Hart, born June 21st, 1853, died March 22ud, 1886. The admirable qualities of the de ceased were eonspi nous iu even relation of life. Few are born t« fascinate aim uburui upon so slight acquaintance, to impress the obser ver so strongly with a candor at noble and a familiarity so uuassum- ed and ingenuous. But to kimw him better was to admire him more. Honest, taitbtnl, just, he had the confidence of all with whom he transacted business. His social virtues rendered him an attractive companion. He ever seemed intent on ministering to the comfort and happiness of others ; and his tem per socheerlul and hopeful, and bis spirit so full of sunshine and so deeply iinbt ed w ith the principle of self-sacrifice fitted him to be singu larly appreciated and esteemed as a friend. As a sou and a brother he was generous, kind, affectionate , and by a life of ardent devotion to tbe interests of his loved oms he has bound them to himself by ties which the ruthless hand of death cannot sever.* Nor is it an attach ment to a mere lingering memory, but to a still living per on, exalted in tbe Divine presence, awaiting the arrival of those that are lett here b.-low. For to his many ex cellences, that of Christian piety, the crowning glory of man, must be added. He was baptised June 1st, 1870, and united with the Darlington Baptist Church of which he contin ued a member until the Muster said: "Come up hither.” Although it is not nufrequently difficult to de termine how much iu the character of one who, by nature, possesses amiable moral and social qualities, is owing to the influence ol per sonal piety, and how much ought to be attributed to these natural en dowments; there is, nevertheless, on the minds of those familiar wi h the life of such an one, an abiding impression that he has claims to a ccrta.u superiority of character that derives its tone and hues from con verse with the unseen and faith iu a personal Savior; and this supe riority is none the less certainly re cognized when tbe piety ol which it is the expression is unaffected and unobtrusive, and exerts a silent, hallowing influence iu the minute h flairs ot private life. Religions in fluence is strongest iu the absence ol affectation and parade. Seldom has one presented an example ot more unpretentious piety than the subject of this memorial He seem ed to wear it as his daily dress; nay, more, to |M>ssess It as an in- ward, essential habit. In nothing, perhaps, did he exhibit a more gen uinely Christian spirit than in the manner iu which he bore the suffer ings of bis last illness. Compelled to submit to a lingering dissolntion, he manifested the (tower of faith by a singular patience, an unruffled tranquility and an unmurmuring submission to the will of his Heav enly Father. It was but natural to expect that one who bore with such fortitude and equiuimity, the rever ses of life, should be prepared to brave death, and that one who evinced no impatience under the sorest chastisements of Providence, should niter no complaints under the strokes of life’s fell destroyer. He conquered death through the hopes and consolations of tbe gos pel ot onr Lord Jesus Christ And all who thus sleep await tbe tri- nmphs of the last hour, and the ex ultations of tbe Aral victory.
