W hile, the association. j of course, weeannot subscribe to j all his political teachings, it is only fair to state that his argu ment in favor of the sub-treasu ry bill was by far the most con clusive we have yet heard on that side of the subject. Mr. Terrell is undoubtedly a man of great ability; a gifted orator and thoroughly conversant with the subjects he was discussing, it ! was a treat to listen to him. We regret to have to say that the contrast between Mr. Terrell and our own fellow citizen who who followed him was most un- I pleasantly marked. The former delivered a dignified, scholarly .address; the latter ranted con siderably. and emphasised his utterances by borrowing from Gov. Tillman some of the more homely campaign utterances which gave the latter notoriety | five years ago. Mr. Terrell ap- | pealed directly to the reason of his hearers, Mr. Talbert to their prejudices; and many regretted that the pleasing effects of the ! former’s fine oration should have been spoiled in such a way. DR. GRIFFIN S REMOVAL. The correspondent who writes us from Oats this week on the subject of the Asylum inquisi tion intimates that we have been “rather hard on Governor Till man” and that we “hold arath- | er partial view of the affair.” j The courteous manner in which | our correspondent finds faults with us makes it incumbent up on us to treat his comrn.ini- | cation with deference, and we can only express our geninue regret that he and other “citi zens of the County do not ac- icord” with our views There is nothing more that we can say on the subject; the facts in the case are generally understood; as to whether the Governor was right or wrong is now a matter iof individua 1 «pinion, and each citizen must decide the question for himself. It is true that Governor Tillman positively de clared that in filling the office of Superintendent of the Asy lum he would not permit his political views to influence him, but one is judged by his acts, not by his words, and it is for the people of South Carolina to determine whether, in his con duct towards Dr. Griffin, the Governor was influenced by any ulterior motive, or whether he removed him after having ac corded him that fair and im partial hearing which the hum blest of our citizens has the right to expect. A RATHER EXPENSIVE LUXURY. Judge Norton has decided on circuit that the Coosaw case is properly before the United States Court, and there it will remain, it may he for years, it will certainly be, (as is aptly pointed out by the Columbia State), until the close of the present administration in South Carolina. Thus the Governor and his advisers who are elect ed in 1892 will inherit a precious 1 legacy from their predecessors j in the way of an expensive law suit which shall have already cost the State thousands < f dollars by that time. No one questioned the propriety of our public officials maintaining to the utmost the rights and dig nity of the State in its light with Coosaw. but when the time comes for the levying of extra taxes to meet a deficiency of several hundred thousand dollars, the people will begin to j feel that an autocratic ruler is a rather expensive luxury. — --*»•- A PRIMITIVE METHOD. It is said that one of our mer chants has hired a wagon and mules which he sends to Flor ence for his goods on the ground that he can bring them cheaper that way than by the railroad. That one should have to resort to this primitive method of transportation is certainly re markable. It strikes the obser ver as being very odd that goods should he brought from Flor ence to Darlington by the “dirt road” as they were fifty years ago. What is the matter? A DEAR TEACHER. The A eft* and Courier urges that Darlington, in common with the other towns of the State, put in a bul for the privi lege of obtaining the State College for women. No, thanks; not any more of that for us. Those of our citizens who ar? able and willing to put up the money necessary to obtain a State institution for our County were taught a lesson in the Ex perimental Station matter which they will profit by. and they will not be caught again for many years to come. Am 1c« Ad<*rtUlB( Mannger Williunx has a scheme that is away ahead of anything ever attempt ed. He enfolded it yesterday before (Tiief Bigelow, when he asked that offi cial if he would be violating any law by delivering ice on the j lavements in front of the principal business houses of the city. "Certainly yon can." answered Mr. Bigelow, “but what is the advertising scheme in it?" “Well,” remarked Harry Williams, “you made ns take down the street bill boards and the stands at the areaways. We had to do something; so I have placed an order with an ice manufact uring company to freeze the lithographs of my attractions in big cakes of ice. Manufactured ice is as clear as crystal, and it gives the cake the ap|iearance of having the picture painted npon it These blocks of ice will be left upon the pavements, and people can use the ice if they want to. Tbe manufacturers as sure me the quality of the ice will not be injured in the least. But, more than that, the lithographs will not be spoiled, and that is all I care for."—Pittsburg Dispatch. All Obiiolete Fashion. Coming over on tho Brooklyn Bridge cars I saw an aged gentleman wearing a comfortable gray shawl wrapped around his drooping shoulders. The sight was unusual, though it was quite common a dozen or more years ago. Turning to a well known dry goods man who sat next to me 1 asked him. “Do you have many calls for gentlemen’s shawls now?” “No," he answered. “Our firm has not sold a gentleman's shawl in tliree years. We do not keep them in stock any longer. Scarcely anybody wears them now.” I subsequently asked several other dry goods men and gentlemen’s furnishers the same question, and from all I received the same answer. The custom of shawl wearing by aged geritVmisi has become almost entirely obsolete.—New York Continent Saved hy Htrikinjc on HU Head. Robert Cannon, a colored painter on the new belt line depot, was on a scaffold with a bncket of jiaint. on the fourth floor, when the scaffold broke, precipi tating him to tbe ground, nearly forty feet. The fall rendered him unconscious for a moment, and a crowd of workmen gathered, expecting to pick up the dead body. Cannon suddenly aroused, jumped to his feet. and. rubbing his head, said he guessed he mast have been asleep. He struck the ground on his head, making a deep indentation in the soil, but he was not injured beyond a scratch on his face. Cannon asked for a lay off for the re mainder of the day and then walked to his home.—Kansas City Times.

Surely, before the city fathers are asked to make a dormitory of the Guild hall the city churches ought to take the first step.

Mrs. Jane McKeene, an old lady in Lewiston, who was recently taken to the insane asylum, had been very eccentric for years while working in the cotton ! mills, and a number of stories are told of her peculiarities. At one time she i had a lot of cockroaches in a box near her looms, which she would feed regu larly even’ day. Whether they ate the food provided them by their benefactress is not known, but she took good care of them, and they increastsl in numbers un til at last the superintendent discovered them and hail them removed. The old lady oried bitterly that her pets—and whoever hail snch jwts before, ; —were removed.
