THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON.
The Charleston Evening Post
is using its efforts to induce the
authorities of the College of
Charleston to bring their insti
tution more before the public
and thereby enable the old col
lege to do much greater work
than it is now doing. Many
colleges, which have not half
the endowment that the College
of Charleston has, are much
better known to the outside
world and all because they are
not afraid to make known
abroad the attractions and ad
vantages which they have to
offer. The vast majority of the
people of South Carolina know
extremely littie about the Col
lege of Charleston and very
many probably do not even
know that Charleston has a
college. The old institution is
abundantly able to advertise it
self, and if it would make half
the effort and spend half the
mofay in advertising that Fur
man and Wofford and other col
leges do. the number of students
which would flock, to its halls
for admission in a year or two,
w.uld be surprising. It is a
pity that an institution, which
is so well equipped and endow-
ed, should not be the means of
doing more good, simply for the
want of a little effort. The city
of Charlestpn is now branching
out in different ways, and. g de
termined effort to build up the
College of Charleston, would re
sult in much good to Charleston
and the rest of the State as well.
The press is always ready to
aid a good enterprise—and is
more than willing to co operate
with the faculty of the old col
lege in the task of making it a
grand institution, worthy of the
city in which it is situated.
The State Fair at Columbia
liifet week .was a decided success
financially and otherwise.
Never before have so many peo
pie attended a State Fair in
South Carolina, and the receipts
were so large that the Agri
cultural Society has been en
abled to liquidate all its debte
and still have money in the
treasury. The people of Colum
bia had no idea that the city
would be so overwhelmed with
visitors, and, consequently, the
accommodations which had
been provided were inadequate.
Many could not find places to
sleep and were compelled to do
the beet they could out of doors.
There will, doubtless, be no fur
ther trouble as to railroad rates
in the future. They are now
thoroughly convinced that the
cheap rates made the Fair a
great success and brought an
immense amount of money into
their treasuries.

The last issas of the Sunday
News had a most excellent and
comprehensive account of the
Darlington Guards, gotten up
by Mr. J E. Norment. The
history of the company was
given, from the time they figur
ed so prominently in the late
war, to the present, and the
pictures of Captain Thompson
and the other officers and the
drummer, Henry Brown, added
much to the interest of the
article
The Darlington Guards were
the first company in the State
to tender their services to Gov
ernor Pickens at the breaking
out of the war, and, for such
promptness,. and the distin-
guiahed services which they
afterwards rendered, deserve
the greatest consideration at the
hands of our people. Capt. F.
F. Warley, who commanded the
company at that time, was al
ways conspicuous during the
war for gallantry, and his mem
ory will loiig be cherished by
the old members of the Guards
and their families and friends.
The State is continually tear
ing its hair because some of its
cotemporaries, insist that the
silver issue is dead. The State
need not worry itself—the sil
ver issue is not dead* but the
campaign of 1900 Hi going to be
conducted on different lines.
Senator Butler, of North Caro
lina, will have more to say
then because he has become
disgusted at the humiliating
spectacle of seeing hi* party
swallowed whole by the democ
racy. If the State whoops (ip
free silver, therefore, as the
great issue of the campaign, it
will have to go over to the pop
ulists bag and baggage. The
populists are not going to con
tinue to stand quietly by and al
low the democrats to steal their
thunder.
That cantankerous silvante.
The State, must have been as
tounded and sorely puzzled
when it saw Columbia overrun
during Fair week with thou
sands upon thousands of peo
ple who were supposed to be op
pressed and without money on
account of the gold Standard
23000 people,according the toThe
State’s estimate, were on the
grounds Thursday, and yet we
are all in the grasp of the
money power. People who go
away from home for pleasure
are not suppo* ed to be suffering,
generally speaking, and it is
pleasant to know that there are
some thousands of people in
South Carolina yet who are able
to enjoy themselves in spite of
the gold standard.
A number of colored physi
clans met in Columbia during
Fair week and organised the
Association of Colored Physi
cians of South Carolina. About
twenty doctors were present.

Wolcott, N. Y., Nov. 11.—
To the thousands of summer
visitors who annually visit the
many popular resorts about
Grand Sod us Bay no one is bet
ter known than boatman and
guide John Newport, the head
and political boss of the local
negro colony of nearly a hund
red souls. Newport and his
comely wife are the happy par
ents of nine children, the pro
dnet of only three separate
births. In childhood the two
were slaves in Virginia, coming
toSodus Point soon after em
ancipation. Eighteen years ago
they married, and six years
thereafter George Washington
and Robert E. Lee Newport
were born. After another inter-
val of six years James A. Gar
field, Chester A. Arthur and
Ulysses S. Grant Newport fol
lowed, and now, after the ex
piration of another six years,
quadruplets have arrived, being
ushered into this world on the
Tuesday proceeding election.
Mr. Newport was for years a
stanch republican, controlling
the votes of four-fifths of his
colored brethren, but in 1892 he
voted for Cleveland, and again
this year for Bryan. Mrs. New-
rt, Yiowever, remains true to
early political faith, so to
please her one of the new corn-
era has bean named Me&inley,
while his throe brothers Were
called William, Jennings and
Bryan respectively. They are
ret and healthy looking little
ninnies, weighing at the
•ga of ahoot a fortnight a trifle
over six pounds apiece.

The Darlington Guard*.
Among the military compan
ies that attracted especial atten
tion were the State champions,
the Darlington Guards, in com-
manu of Capt. Henry T. Thomp- t
son. The Guards were out in
strong force, and the military
precision of their movements,
the splendid step and bearing of
the men, theii general style and
get-up, were generally admired,
and deservedly so. The Guards
have just purchased very hand
some new uniforms of the finest
make and finish, and tney most
worthily wear their honors in
every respect. Their new uni
form is coat of dark blue broad
cloth, trimmed with gold lace,
light blue trousers, with stripe
of white broadcloth on sides.

A Chicago Fir a Legacy.
The books of the United States
treasury still carry an jtem of $1,-
000,000 which represents United
States notes which are supposed to
have been consumed in the great
Chicago fire 25 years ago, says a cor
respondent of the New York Son.
It is known that there was $1,000,-
000 of oorrenoy more or less in the
vaults of the subtreasury then and
that none of it was recovered, but
the denominations of those notes
and the exact amount are unknown,
as the books of the cashier were con
sumed also.
There oould not have been, bow.
ever, very many dollars less or very
many dollars more than $1,000,000,
and it would simplify the acoounts
of the treasury and save a great deal
of labor to the bookkeepers if con
gress should pass a hill or resolution
recognizing the foot that this mon
ey is no longer in existence, for ev
ery day when the cashier of the
treasury balances bis accounts be
has to include this item, deducting
it, or adding it as the case may he,
from the amount in hand. It appears
upon every daily, weekly, monthly
and yearly statement of the assets
and liabilities of the government as
“unknown destroyed United States
notes, $1,000,000.”

NOTICE.
B y order o* the county
board os commissioners I
am instructed to say that unless
changes are made in the law by
the next Legislature, there will
be no extention of time for the
collection of commutation or
road tax for the fiscal year
1897, which will commence Jan
uary 1st next, as there will be
no law or ekefise for so doing
The road tax pan be paid to the
Treasurer from now until D< e.
31st, 1896; and not later, as . he
county or township commission
ers will have no authority to
allow the Treasurer or any
other person to collect said
taxes after that date. The com
mutation tax will be one dollar
for the year 1897, or work on
the roads and bridges four days
during the year, as directed by
the Township commissioners.
Three days work will be re
S ited of each person during
e soring and summer and one
day later on. All able bodied
male persons and all male per
sons able to perform or cause
to be performed the work re
quired between the ages of
eighteen and fifty years, ex
cept ministers of the gospel who
are actually in charge of con
gregations and all Confederate
soldier and persons permanent
ly disabled in the military ser
vices of the State, are liable to
road duty. The County Super
visor has no authority to ex
empt or excuse persons from
road duty.
Certificates from doctors do
not exempt or excuse persons
from road duty. \
This fiscal year has been
changed from Nov. 1st to Jan.
1st. Claims will be received
and placed in the present
fiscal year against the county
until Dec. 31st, 1896. After
that date all claims presented
wilrgo into the next fiscal year,
or the fiscal year 1897. As
will be seen the present fiscal
year will have fourteen months
instead of twelve and no spe
cial appropriations for it. From
experience, it is known that
work done on the roads during
the Winter months is not profi
table and the Township com
missioners are instructed to do
only such work as is necessary
to fix the roads so that the
traveling public will not be
or placed in any dan-
traveling the roads.
