Mr. R. F. Way informs us that while his neighbors are replanting, and in some places plowing up their corn, his stand is good and the young plant growing satisfactorily.

SoilKp principles, such as Jefferson nnd Jackson announced, were aggres sive, because they were right. Prin ciples never listen to a compromise, but policies and expediencies do.

Wannamakor, a student at Wof ford College, returned to his home on Monday evening last, prostrated by bad health, caused perhaps by hard duty and too close application to study. Mr. Wannamaker was pre pared for college at Sheridan's Clas sical School of this place and was noted for the very traits which per haps have brought on this illness. We hope the care and associations of liomc, together with a few months of rest, will restore his health and en able him to resume his collegiate course next October.

B. Cooke, I). 1). This Institution is under two organizations working harmoniously together; the Claflin University and the Agricultural Col lege and Mechanical Institute of the State with Dr. Cook presiding over the whole.

"When Sfaurows Build/1?This is the title of the new Prize Story, the publication of which will begin in the Charleston Weekly News on Wednes day, May ?. The author is Miss Jennie Drake, of Charleston, S. C. The story begins in the Pyrenees, and the opening chapters contain some graceful sketches of Pyrencan life, which are deftly interwoven with the beginnings of a cjiarniing love story. The scene ?fter wards changes to New York, ar.d is diversified by iome lively pictures of New York society. Later, the Carnival in New Orleans is introduced, and is vividly described. Tbc story is artistically told, and the dramatis pcrsonw are cleverly sketched. The committee who awarded the author of When Sparrows Build the prize of one hun dred dollars in gold, offered by the proprietors of The Weekly IrVio*, say in their report that it is "a clever and charming tale, good in incident, characterization, dialogue, humor und sentiment, very interesting, and full of the evidences of culture und literary skill." The price of T/u Weekly News, a mammoth family newspaper of six pages and fifty-four columns, is 82 a year. Lower rates tc clubs- Publishers, Kiordan & Dawson, Charleston, S. C. In the last report of the Grand Jury it was suggested that such a change be made in the county offices as would put the Clerk in the ollice now occupied by the Treasurer, and the Treasurer and Auditor in the of fice occupied by the Clerk. By this arrangement the present ollice of the Auditor might be given to the Master which would save to the lax-payers ?n0 or S7? of rent now paid for a room for that olliccr. The court at its last sitting ordered the County Commissioners to make the change if practicable, and report at the next session whether the change had been made, and if not, why not. Tho Commissioners, accordingly, passed a resolution to comply with the sug gestion of the Grand Jury and order of the court. The matter was placed in the hands of Air. L. LI. Wannaina? kcr, Clerk of lhe Board, to exe cute, who entered upon the work of change with Captain Bell by cutting a door through the wall for the con venience of the Treasurer and tax payers. Mr. Geo. Bolivcr, the Cleik of Court, immediately entered his ob jection against the further prosccu lion of the work, which was backed by a protest from the bar, signed by all the lawyers except Muj. T. B. Whalcy and D. A. Stinker. Upon receiving this the County Commis sioners met and resolved to postpone the work until the meeting of court. On Tuesday morning when the omnibus was returning from the ten o'clock train and hail reached De Mars' corner. Bo1 iceman Boht. Jones, who was standing on the sidewalk in front of the store, etepped up with pistol in hand and Ii red upon Mr. Z. J. King, a passenger with several others in the vehicle. The sudden ness of the attack caused a general unloading of the omnibus through the door anel windows by the passengers, and Mr. King, who had fallen from his scat in the confusion, made bis appearance prepared to meet an>y further attack by Mr. Jones. Had it not been for the timely interference of Chief of Police Cannon and Mr. P. G. Cannon by seizing the parlies quite an unfortunate and perhaps bloody scene would have ensued. The lllllicnlty grew out of the arrest of Mr. King the night before at an en tcrtainment at Bolivcr's Mall by Po liceman Jones, and subsequent threats made by Mr. King. The matter will undergo judicial investigation at the next term of court, and not wish ing to prejudice the interest of cither party, wc decline to publish any of lite many versions Iba', wo hoar about the affair. The firing into an omni bus, however, loaded with people that had no interest whatever in the quar rcl, endangering their lives, can hard ly be justified no matter what the provocation might have been for such an act. Both parties were arrested and bound over, Mr. Jones for as sault and battery with intent to kill, and Mr. King to keep the peace. Standard of the World.
