We hear considerable complaint about bad stands of corn due to the ravages of worms and birds. Mr. R. F.

Sound principles, such us Jefferson nnd Jackson announced, were aggres sive, because they were right. Prin ciples never listen to a compromise, but policies and expediencies do. The people must be educated up to the importance of having principles, not only in a parly, but among the men who seek and ask their voles.

Snoll, which occurred at his residence, about twelve miles east of town, on Sunday evening last of paralysis. Mr. Snell was an old and influential citizens of our count}', and had won the esteem and conti; deuce of every one by a loug life of honesty and ehrstinn consistency.

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 Slate with Dr. Cook presiding over the whole.

"When Spakrows Build/1?This is the title of the new Prize Story, the publication of which will begin in the j Charleston Weekly Nt-ws on Wednes day, May 5. Tho author is Miss Jennie Drake, of Charleston, S. C. The story begins in the Pyrenees, and the opening chapters contain some graceful sketches of Pyrcncnn life, which are deftly interwoven with the beginnings of a charming love story. The scene ofterwards changes to New York, ar.d is diversified by j s.omc lively pictures of New York society. Later, the Carnival in New | Orleans is introduced, and is vividly described. The story is artistically told, and the dramatis personal are i cleverly sketched. The committee who awarded the author of 117/en Sparrows Build the prize of ?nie hun dred dollars in gold, offered by the proprietors of The Weekly WeW8t 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 nnd literary skill." The price of The Weekly News, a mammoth family newspaper of six pages and fifty-four columns, is 82 a year. Lower rates to clubs- Publishers, Riordan & Dawson, Charleston, S. C. Ix the last report of the Grand Jury it was suggested that such a change be made in the county offices us 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 office of the' Auditor might be given to the Master which would, save lo the lax-payers $50 or 875 of rent now paid for a room for that officer. The court at Us 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, The Commissioners, accordingly, passed a resolution to comply with the sug gestion of the Grand Jury and order1 of the court. The matter was placed in lhe hands of Mr. L. II. Wnnnama kcr, Clerk of the 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. M.r. Geo. Bolivcr, the Cleik of Court, immediately entered his ob jection against the further prosccu lion ol* the work, which was bucked by n protest from tho bar, signed by all the lawyers except Maj. T. B. Whaley 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 hat) reached De Mars' corner. IV iceman Kobt. Jones, who was standing on tho sidewalk in front of the store, stepped up with pistol in hand aud lired upon Mr. Z. J. King, a passenger with several others in the vehicle. The sudden-1 nc3s of the attack caused a general unloading of the omnibus through the door and windows by the passengers, and Mr. King, who had fallen from his scat in the confusion, made his appearance prepared to meet any further attack by Mr. Jones. Had it not been for tho timely interference of Chief of Police Cannon and Mr. P. |G. Cannon by seizing the parties' quite an unfortunate and perhaps bloody scene would have ensued. The dilHcully grew out of the arrest of Mr. King the night before at an en tertaiuinent at Bolivcr's Hall 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 the many versions tbn'. wo hear about the affair. The firing into an omni bus, however, loaded with people that had no interest whatever in the quar rel, endangering their lives, can hard ly bo 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, anel Mr. King to keep the peace. Standard of the World.
