THOMPSON. ; We have lately seen several art from various papers reflecting i Governor Thompson iu a way whicl think entirely uncalled for. We mort partioaJarly to statements in v it ts i II wsw i a twas wa a>aVpc*d*ai i official Ufa for his seaport. Thara wo giaaa?i whatever for swab intti tiona. Hs bas never force* himsell fore the?peopJc as an oilce seeker , the contrary. When nominated Governor four years ago, it was m festly against his inclination, anc have no doubt he would be a richer to-day. had he been left io private Governor Thompson is no beggar office,' brethren ; jost remember tba JOSEPH H KAKT.B FOR ATT( NEY-GENEBAL. One year ago, speaking of the s nimity of the State press in calling a new deal, we suggested the nam State Senator, Jos. H. Earle, as a s able candidate for the office of Attorn General. We said : "We in Sumter <?ou know him and honor him. As a,D< oerat, as a lawyer, as a. man, he sta: before the people without fear and wi ont reproach/' Bold cand aggressive defence of ocr political rights, he ce hesitated when it could avail augh t strike a blow for their maintenance, born leader of men, his no m i nat i would add strength to the ticket arousing the enthusiasm of the ra and file-the mea who ^<iffie woi and bring as victory-while his w known ability as a lawyer would iosa the most satisfactory performance of t importa at duties of so responsible ; office." We emphasize the above statemes and say again that Col. Earle would ''a most suitable candidate for the oSi of Attorn ey-General. He will eut into no scramble for the office, hut the people, speaking through their re resentatives io the State Con ven ti o give him the nominaci?n, he will a cept, and do his full share in bringii victory to the ticket. His work in the Senate last year w. convincing proof of his power and in vii cible energy ; and ?bile wt in Sum I; woold be especially proud to see ci gifted feUow-cittM tans bo Doced, i believe UM entire State would appr?cia an officer so entirely feted for tao dal? of that position. There is no doubt that the selffitwej of the State strongly favors a "ne dear" sot necessarily because of any ii efficiency in the present officials, f( many of them are models io the pei fernance of every duty, bot simp! from the fact that rotation in office ike policy of Republican institution! This being an accepted fact, our urgin the candidacy of Col. Earle can not b considered as any reflection upon Attoi nev-General Miles, wac baa per forme W4S duties Baafolly and well, just as i ?es expected - he would. Now iii saccid stand aside, and alteo the pla? to be tUed by one wno will perfore th-o ditties eanally well. Amd wh that know? Col. Earle is not attis?e that his administr?t io? of t&e AL toro ey Generara office wonld be marked by th most consummate ability ? L We thick it Wi! that the claims c persons suitable for -the various Stat offices should be thoroughly can vasse? by the press, for in no other way can ai intelligent choice be made. Such course would prevent the shrewd wire pullers who are always present in on State Conventions, from springing ticket Upon the uninitiated of whiJ they know nothing. For this reasoi we bring forward the name of Jos. H Earle. Consult his record in hi County, in the Court House, in th . Senate chamber, and tell us where yoi will Hud a better man. COMMENCEMENT AT DAVID SON COLLEGE, N. C. As a matter of interest to many o our readers we have gleaned a few item relative to last weeks' Commencemeu : exercises at Davidson College, N. C. The preliminary exercises began ot ; Sunday, the 13th, with the Baccalau reate sermon, by Rev. Dr. Girard eau. o Columbia, S. C. The handsome rei ; brick Church at the College was Sile to its utmost capacity, the fame of th preacher having gathered there crowd from the surrounding country aod man; men of distinction from a distance With a power and eloquence never sur passed by him, he held his entire audi euee* io unfiaggiog attention for on hour and forty-five minutes. ' Oi : Wedcesday morning the annual oratio! ' before the two literary societies was de 1 livered by Maj. Robbins, of Statesville N. C., late a member of Congress fron his district.

Thursday was occupied in hearing speeches from six members of the grad? uating class, one of the speakers being our yoong friend, S. Chandler Baker, wboss subject was George Riot, His speech was remarkably good. The diplomas were then delivered th an earnest and impressive address to the graduates by Kev. Dr. McKinnon, the President of the College. We learn that the prospects of the College were never brighter. Among the steps forward io the way of improve? ment, inaugurated by President Mc? Kinnon, are the establishment of a tele? graph office at the College, and the em? ployment of a resident physician of first class accomplishments, to attend the students, without extra charge to them. THE MEETING JULY 3d. We refer our readers to the card of Mr. H. R. Thomas found elsewhere, calling upon tho farmers of the County to meet in Sumter, July 3rd, to arrange for the County Farmers' Con? vention. ; " We* fear the farmers are becoming weary of these constaut "calls for meet? ings, convention, &c ; but we can only repeat the much quoted adage: "In union there is strength.,J A commun? ication signed by X treating of the farmers' troubles makes some pertinent suggestions as to the need of farmers doing something for themselves, and we hope that the grass will not be so rampant next Saturday week as to pre? vent a full attendance at the proposed meeting. OUR SOUTHERN FARMEB BOYS. ^reOi'Stephen D. Lee, the able and successful President of the Mississippi Agricultural College; says : v "I am really alarmed at the future of our farmer boys. The cream bas been taken off our lands by their fathers and grand-fathers, and now, when they can? not make money off them, they will turn them over to their boys, like a squeezed lemon. Without training and education, these boys can do no better, but must do worse, because they have poorer lands. As a consequence, strangers, who have been educated in Europe or at the North, will gain pos? session of our soil. ' They will know now to restore it, and oar poor boys, for task of preparation, will be their labor ?rs? Tba pressant now facing the far? mers of the South is no new ooo; it has-confronted every older nation. Ic has been deferred with us because we have been blessed with the best lands and climate any people ever had. We have had our troubles, and now must show some of the pluck exhibited in t! e war, rising above all obstacles, and re? tain our lands for our Southern boys. I don't bate other boys, but like our boys best," There is food for thought in what Geo. Lee. says. Io ano thor column is a call for a Farmers1 Convention, on Jury 3rd. Read the call and sec that yon cannot stay st home and wash your bande af the iswpoosibitity. You most come oat and give your counsel, assist? ance sad encouragement ; com? deter? mined to utilize all that is good in the movement, aod help to steer the ship off thc breakers and into the right haven. It is needless saying there is nothing ailing the farmer and 'tis useless to or? ganize. You might as well try to con? vince the man whose house has been unroofed by a cyclone, when he is fish? ing his children out of the debris, that there has been oo blow, as to tell farm? ers there is no need of doing something to save our lands for our boye. X. [From car ?egutar Correspondent.J WASHINGTON LETTER. WXS???XOTO?;, D. C , Jone 19, l&SC. The convention of Horticulturists, with three hundred delegates, represent? ing every state in the union, is in ses? sion herc cow; the long strike is over and work has been resumed; a Brazil? ian Prince has been anions us for sev eral day?; and Congress, despite thc wann weather, is bravely working and voting and wasting time as usual. But these matters sound prosy as compared with the great social event of the week. The official world of the Capital is charmed with thc new mistress of thc White House. She won their hearts at her first reception on "Tuesday even? ing, and her reputation as a beautiful, dignified, and charming hostels is es? tablished forever. Expressions of ad? miration over her beauty were on every Hp. The Russian Minister, Karon dc Struve, was heard to declare that he would go back to Europe and till thc people that he had seen the handsomest womao in the world, the wife of the President of the United States. M rs.* Cleveland was entirely self pos? sessed, and went through the trying ordeal of being stared at by hnndrcds of thc most critical in Washington soci? ety without evincing nervousness or excitement. Well known society wo? men touched one another and exchan? ged expressive glances as they recog? nized the presence in the White House of one of the prettiest women ever seen in that position. The old mansion probably never pre? sented a more brilliant spectacle than oo thU occasion, its interior was a bow* er of lewers and plants, tropfeal ja their magailesnes. Bat tbs tsspaatari crowd was indifferent lotte decorations, u ?s!l u to tb* Ucl that a mllMs South American Prince was to be a guest tbat evening. It was longing to stare at the white-robed bride, and when she appeared, leaning on the President's arm as they marched to their position in thc Blue Ko om, there was considerable ill-concealed curiosity, with much impulsive pushing and cran? ing of necks. Tit President wore his customary ereniwg suit of black, and bil wife wore her bridal dress of ivory satin, with its long drawn oat train of five yards. J8ht earned a foo of white ostrich tips, which sae wielded with energy as tat treeing grew warmer, while the President fan? ned his dripping brow with a large |#cambric handkerchief. It was remarked that the President never looked real happy before. The guests included all who are identified with the social, politi? cal, and official life of the Capital, but to name them would be an endless task. The prospect of an early adjournment of Congress grows less with each day, and many members of judgment assert j that the middle of August will find them i still here. Three wise men of the House of ? Repr?sentatives exhibit quite a contra? riety af opinions ia regard to tat re i ceipts and expenditures of the Gorst ment for tat next fiscal year. Mr. Hiscock, who claims to have gout over the qoesttoo with the utmost care, makes bold to assort the country that there will be deficit of over $ 14.000,000. Mr. Morriion, who has thorooghly familiarized himself with the financial situation, states that instead of there being a deficit, there will be an increas? ed surplus. Mr. Randall, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, who is understood to know everything there is to know about monetary affairs, steers between thc two, and gives it as his judgment that the revenues and the appropriations will come out about even. Mr. Randall said, however, that the startling deficiency figures that Mr. Hiscock had discovered, did not sur? prise him in the least, since the increase this year over last year for pensions was $15,750,000. Still, the new Ad? ministration has cut down the expenses of the Government in so many different I ways that there is hope for an even ad? justment. The work of retrenchment is pro? gressing rapidly now through the dis? missal of Department clerks. Thc Treasury has just dispensed with forty supernumeraries, and proposes to dis? charge many more. In- consequence', all of the Republican retainers are again panic stricken. c. A. S. The late lamented Hon. F. C, Furman of Ga., (fae distinguished intensive Farmer, advises that, 'when you give your cotton the last sweeping, you drill peas in the middle of eaeb row, and apply with them about two to three hnndred pounds of ash element to the acre. The peas will grow off rapidly, will prevent washing, will not interfere with the .opening or picking of cotton, will protect the lower bolls against dirt and will give you a magnificent coat of humus as a manure for yonr land.' If yon want Ash Element or manures of any kind, write to the Ashley Phosphate Company. All their goods are first class. Give me the Same. A hungry man,* entering a bakery, saw the proprietor eating and asked what he had selected to satisfy his appetite. When told, he said, 'Well, then, give me the same; for what will not poison you will do me no harm.' I The same doubt that led to caution in-this customer, leads people who are sick to wish there were some assurance that the doctors who prescribe remedies had themselves proven them. The physicians who have for sixteen years, in Philadelphia, been administering Compound Oxygen to their patient? with such marvelous effects, were Jed to do so by res aita achieved in their own eases. Ors. Starkey k Paleo knew its value in personal experience.
