Taylor Renton, a colored man of Camden. S. C., has invented a cot tou chopper, which is said to be a great success. He has patented the invention and has already sold a ah -re ot the patent for 920,000. The teachers of South Carolina he'd their annual convention in Co lombia last week. Teachers from every part of the State were pres ent. Many fine papers on educa tion were read and the meeting on the whole was highly successful. Yeldell, the Eduefirld murderer who was captured iu Pittsburg, Peon., recently, s iys that as the killing was the result ot a political qoarrel he cannot obtain justice and bis counsel is making efforts to have a change of venae. The crazy negro Bell who has been pretending to be Christ, in Liberty Coantv, Ga., has wrought the negroes ot that section up to believing in the sacrifice of human lives and as a result a child was recently murdered as an atonement to God. Fred Damish, the proprietor of the Central Hotel of Angusta, Ga., while walking in his sleep on Mon day night, stepped out of a second story window and fell tn the ground. He was seriously and pain fully hart. It is rumored that the Southern Republican Congressmen have be come ao incensed at the manner in which the President has s'ig ted them that they, holding the bal ance of power, will ran the next House of Representatives to suit themselves. J. J. Creighton, an ex State Sen ator of California, was convicted about two years ago of jury brib ing. He escaped capture, however, and has been wandering all over the world. He returned last week and gave himself up, saying that he could not endure his exile any longer. The attorneys for Mrs. Mary Pil- low, the widow of Gen. Pillow of Confederate fam<*, have filed a bill iu the Ciicnit Court of Memphis, against Col. Clay Kiug for 9100,000 damages for defamation of charac ter and slander.

Col. Kiug in bis bill made severe cbar gea against Mrs. Pillow. The West Point Mills, of West Point, Ga., will soon begin to ran 150 anti-trust bagging looms, which will produce 150 yards to each loom per day: total per day, 22.500 yards. The Rosedale Manufactur ing Company, ot the same place, will ran 100 anti trust bagging looms which will make 150 yards to each loon per day; total 15,000 yards per day. Add the 22,500 yards from tho West Point mills on the 15,000 yards prod need by the Rosedale Manufacturing Com pany and it gives 37,500 yards of anti trust bagging that West Point will be able to famish daily as long aa orders continue to come in.

ATTENTION,UNIVERSITY ALUMNI! The Junior Alumni Association of the S'alc University, composed only ot those students wh have been connected with the institution ►ioce its teorgarix itioo in 1880, Las set a noble example which it would be well fur the older and wealthier alumni of the ante helium college to emula'e. These young men, just from I he sheltering walls of i heir alma inatrr and not, as yet extensively engaged in lucrative business pursuits, have resolved to lay aside every year a portion of their small earnings, to be devoted to the education of some worthy but needy boy. It is their purpose to award two scho'arsbips of 9150 per year each, which will be open to every indigent young man iu tie State. Competiiive examinations will be held at every county seat and the two making the highest mark will be awarded the scholar ships. The recipients of this mu nittcence can also obtain a remis sion of the tuition foe of |10 and the most needy young man may thus receive a collegiate education with no cost to themself. This laudable move speaks tor itself. No higher testimonial could be had ot the noble spirit which has moved the youug men to take this action. But may not the old er alumni render some assistance iu this matter ! They are far more numerous and are better able to con tribute to a luud for the education of the poor youug man than those who have just crossed the thresh hold ot manhood. And now that the junior alumni have originated this move, let every alumnus of the University give what he can, be it much or little. If all were to come generously forward the number of scholarships might be increased to four or possibly more. We should respectfully invite the attention of the older aluinus to the all impor tant question, for we fe d sure that a call iu the interest of higher tdu- ucatiou will u >L bo uubeeded b> them. Let the ^ood work go on as advance of monopoly. With its ap petite whetted by the straggle and in the flush of victory the trust wonld work woe upon us should we be d< feated, for with its ever grow ing propensity foi evil it wonld very quicklv make havoc wi'h what is j led o! our wvuk o;.jk> itiou. r;:k«‘ Ilita opji'i U:.i y now offer, ed b\ D.tilinglou all I At bevilli-l and strengthen ibe stand which has been made iu the straggle for j a noble canse.

The New Trial for James. Some of the State papers are cit ing the case of James, to whom the Supreme Court recei tly granted a new tii.d, us idust.utiug the diffi culty of punishing a well-to-do white man for the crime ol murder. This view of the case is founded as well upon a misconception of its character as upon (he habit of find mg fault with tbe administration of justice. The tiutli is James was duly convicted. He gets a second trial simply Ire ause on the first the presiding Judge, according to the view of the Supreme Conn, exceed ed bis ■, uthority by cb..rging th*e jury on tbe facts There is nothing ol technicality or hairsplitting iu tbe ground taken by the court of last resort in this instance. They simply carryout the plant maudate of tbe Constitution. And tbat re quirement is generally regarded as both wise and humane. Jaiu.m must be tried again. It will be well if tbe papers await tbe final result of bis case before intimating that money anu social position may im pede the coutsu ot justice In South Carolina.—Columbia Regixttr.

John Uandolph Tucker, for many years a member of Con gress from Virginia, has been elect ed Professor of Equity and Com mercial Law and Constitutional and International Lav at Washing ton and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia. Mr. Tucker bas long stood n tbe front rank of constitu tional lawyers and his complete mastery of the most obstruse then* ries of this branch of the law is so universally recognized that any encomiums from us would only be supufiuous. There U one tact iu conuectinu with this, however, lb.«t should afford every true lover ot the cocsiitution much gratification, Mr Tucker regards tbat iustrii. meut as we were wont to do iu the the days of yore, and disclaims the imagtuaiy cottons that the free constructionists or “latter day law. yers” have stamped upon it. In moulding the mind of the young appl.cant for legal knowledge, we have no fear for the doctrines which Mr. Tucker’s will disseminate. The youth ot the country will be the better for having tbe eousiitu!iona| theories of law elucidated by this distinguished Virginia gentleman “GET TOGETHER ” A short time since the New* and Courier published an editoiial upon tbe subject of the establishmeut of au oil refinery iu the State as an aid to the home oil mills in their fight against the trust. Immediate- dlately thereupon, Mr. R. E. Hill, of Abbeville, acting on this sug- tion offered to contribate 92,000 to this end, and Darlington, with its cln'racleristic enterprise, “saw” Mr. Hill’s offer and went it better by agreeing to give 92,500 for tbe es tablishment of the refinery. This offer was made by (tie Darlington Mid through its president, Mr. O. 8 McCullough. Another step iu the right direc tion! Let ns “get together” and by means of this step be pressed to the front! As tbe fight progresses the formidable s.rengtb of the ene my grows in proportion and bat one thing is certain, namely, that we most grasp at every advantage of fered ns or elae go down before lb trade hark O.&O.TEA The Choicest Tea Ever Offered.
