Watchman and Southron now the combined circulation and influe of both of toe old papers, and is mi festly the best advertising medium Swater. An opinion baa been filed in the ! promo Court in the case of Jos. James, of Darlington, convicted on charge of m ordering his father, J judgment below has been reversed ? the case remanded to the Circuit Co for a new trial of both J ames and other petty charged with the crime. Thc Abbeville Press and Ban displayed commendable enterprise 1 week in getting out a full report of Erkskiae College Cornmsnceme Fine cuts of the buildings accomp&n the otherwise complete and full repc For enterprise ?nd thoroughness Prest and Banner takes the lead ame the County papers in the State. The Boston Herald says that "if < mate, accessibility and natural sources conni for anything, the gr centra! section nf our Southern conni is destined to be the manufacturing ct Ire of the United States, this bei only another form of saying the fute workshop of the world." Not the m< enthusiastic of Southerners could more positive. It is pleasant to ko? that the leading newspaper of N Scgland bas come to believe in t future of the South as confidently do our own people. The Colombia Record has pass into new hands, the Record Publishii Company having sold out their intere to W. D. Yarrington and A. W. Cia ton, who will conduct it hereafter wit out making it a distinctively politic political paper. The Record has be< ran in the interest of the MoLaoe part and naturally, when its Boston suppor era saw that this influence was sma and had little probability of growin largsr they withdrew their suppor Hence the collapse of the Record as paper to advance the interests of tl McLane crowd. Wo wish the pr< prietors much more success than ii recent owners had, which we are sui they will have, for they propose ( make the Record a family paper wit hot so much politics. Seventeen persons were killed by disaster on the Norfolk and Wester railroad last week ; about thirty person escaped with slight injuries, and ten ar seriously injured ; the entire train wa destroyed by fire. The night of th accident was very dark and stormy An embankment had been built at th scene of the washout with a sinai enlvert beneath to carry off the water The unusually heavy rainfall bat backed the water up against this em bankment and had undermined th* whole mass of earth making a dee) ditch into which the engine and coacbei plunged. There seems to be uncertainty ye as to the number of lives lost in tb< Cooemangh flood. At the time it wai .tated to be 10,000, later it was pm at 5,000. Still later the physicians o Johnstown on comparing notes conclud? ed there must have been at least 10, OOO. The New York Start which ha? given considerable attention to the subject, oow expresses the belief that al least 15.000 people in the valley lost their lives, and adding to these thc number of travellers who perished oo trains and the transients who were al the hotels and bearding houses or mov? ing about, the number will io all pro? bability reach 20,000. The Paris exposition is said to be one of the grandest affairs of the kind that the world has ever seen, and that there ia epitome is seen a splendid exhibit of the products and industries of all nations except of the United States, which is regarded as a big failure. M. De Young, proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle, in an interview with a correspondent of the New York Herald, characterises it as "a poor little, diminutive, scrawny and humpback dwarf sent abroad to represent a stalwart, muscular, brawny and brainy nation." But what is the use of Americans making a big exhibit in foreign expositions when American tariff laws practically excluded them from foreign markets? The exhibit might bring them some credit but oo profit. COTTON BAGGING. It ts gratifying to observe the una? nimity and determination with which tbe farmers of the South, and especially of South Carolina have gone into the fight for independence in the matter of covering for their cotton. Uoless they not only hold together, but continue to staod firm-regardless of seductive offers of low prices from the J ute Trust they cannot carry their point. The following from the Ketcs and Courier, of yesterday is of interest : ? Several days ago the Neta and Cou? rier published a statement from the Hon L P. Liviogstone, president of Georgia Farmers, Aliance, that "there bas been no weakening in Georgia, or any other cotton State, on the cotton bagging question/' We are assured to-day by Gen E. T. Stack house, pres? ident of the South Carolina Farmers' Alliance, that the orders for cotton bagging "will coutinue to go forward, i till they go accompanied by money re- j ceived from the sale of the crop now ! growing." and that the use of the sub- i stitute for jute bagging this year "will j be determined by the amount manufac- ! tured.*' There are no Mgn6 anywhere of J weak cuing. '* Thc fawners arc thorough- j ly aroused, and upon uo question have they displayed a more thorough deter? mination to succeed. 4 'To make its gene? ral adoption a success,'" however, as Gen. Stackhou8e says, "we must act io harmony with the other cotton States.*' At a meeting held in Camden last Friday, and at which eighteen Sub-Al? liances were respresented, the Farmers' Alliance of Kershaw County unani? mously adopted cotton covering as a permanent substitute for jute bagging, and declared their intention to use the new material for baling the growing ; crop. A number of other County Alliances bare taken similar action during the past month. The Alliauce of Spartanburg and Fairfield are mo\ing in the same line, and it is hoped that by the time the State Alliance meets on July 24, every local Alliance in the State will be pre? pared to report that it bas adopted the new covering and ordered a supply. In no other way can the farmers so certainly insure their independence of the Bagging Trust and escape its exac? tions in the future. The contest is more than half won already, and the wisc pian is to fight it to a finish io one campaign. It bas been claimed that it would be cheaper for the farmers to usc jute bag? ging this year. They are not fighting, however, for the crop of 1889 alone, but for the crops of next year and the next and the next. Gen. StackhoSse says that the cotton bagging "will be several cents per yard higher than the jute bagging, under Alliance pressure,"' and that if the manufacturers and Ex? changes shall not make "an equitable adjustment of tare,'* the farmers will have to sustain a farther loss of seventy cents per bale on cotton packed in cot? ton bagging. The difference would be inconsiderable, in any event, but Mr. Livingstone is confident, that they will not lose a cenfby the use of the cot I ton baggiog. The question of an equitable allowance of tare on the lighter covering, he says has been satis factoily adjusted with New Orleans, New York and Liverpool Exchanges, and if the farmers will maintain their position, all the concessions that they can reasonably demand will be granted in the end. The Alliance deserves to be congratu? lated for the determination with which it has gone into this fight. It is not a question of cotton or jute bagging, but a question of whether the farmers of the Cotton States shall remain dependent upon a monopoly which has shown so little regard for their rights and in? terests. THE WINTHROP TRAINING SCHOOL. The following "observations of an Anderson Teacher,'* published in the Anderson Journal, gives a good insight as to the objects and work of the above named school, and also contains credi? table mention of some of the pupils who are known to our readers:' The Winthrop Training School was established for the purpose of training teachers for their work. The object of this school is not well understood by oar people ; many thinking it simply a High School or College where young ladies may finish an education begun in our country schools; this is quite a mistake : the more complete the educa? tion of the young lady obtaining one of its scholarships, the greater benefit will she derive from the training given there. The school U under the super? vision of Prof. D. B. Johnson, who is Superintendent of the Graded Schools. The teachers are Miss Leonard and Miss Fannie McCants. On the lower i floor of the same building, are two rooms for practice teaching, presided over by Misses Bonham aud Knight. Here are classes of children from three differ? ent grades, which the teacher-pupils of the Winthrop School arc required to take turns in teaching under the direc? tion and criticism of these able and ex? perienced teachers. Each pupil has two weeks' practice in teaching during the term. Thus in addition to gaining a knowledge cf theories and methods, they are given the opportunity of test? ing these by actual class work. At the beginning of the present school year, fifty two pupils entered the school, but i from sickness and other causes only thirty-four completed the full course and passed the final examination. We spent one day in this school witnessing its every day work, and a second day to enjoy its closing exercises. These con? sisted of songs, teaching exercises, and well prepared essays on various sub? jects connected with school work. In the morning at thc school building, and in the eveuing at the Opera House, the following exercises were given : After prayer and singing, "A lesson in Num? bers" was given by Misses Annie Davis of Camdeu and Nellie Martin of Yem assee, S. C. Next a lesson on ''The Products of the Cotton Seed,'* by Misses Bausket of Columbia and Annie Guyton of Georgetown, S. C. Then a most interesting essay on "Symmetrical Development" was read by Mise Maggie George of Walhalla; another, on "Habit," by Miss McMaster of Winns boro ; and a third by Mrs. Murph of I Advance, S. C , on the subject, seeing j and observing " Then an object lesson ! on "Animals," given by Misses Fraser j of Mechanicsville, and Alice Conner of ' Manning. After a song ' Sweet and Low." which was indeed 6wcet, s'z les sons in Physiology were given : these 1 we were particularly pleased with. Tho following are the subjects : I. "The Digestive System," by Miss Weakley of Salkchatckie. II. ."The Circulatory System," by Miss 3''lla Davis of Camden. lil. ' The Respiratory System,'* by 1 Miss "Burton of Batesburg. IV. "Thc Osseous System/' by Miss Sense of Trenton. V. "The Muscular System,'' by Miss Crosland of Benuettsville VI. "The Tegumentary System,"' by Miss Gregg of Mars' Diu ff. A "Lessou on Participles'' was then given by Miss Wham of Fork Shoals; one on "Infinitives** by Miss Powe of Cheraw ; a third on "Verb Phrases" by Miss Littlejohn of St^rr Farm, S C., and a fourth on "Forms of Verbs" hv Miss Darr of Cooper's P. 0 Then came the reading of a humorous selec? tion "Nino from Eight," by .Miss Nor? ris of Aiken, .?nd after another song "Tbs Moorish Evening Dream." a se? lection ''Graduating Day, ' (from the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table) was read by Miss Russell of Anderson. An essay on "The Art of Criticism '' by Miss ("opes of Orangcburg, was highly complimented hy all who heard it. Miss Wardiaw of Nt wherry, read a well prepared essay on "The Teachings of Literat ure," and Miss Dicks ut Willie tou, ono equally jpterestiug on "1 Impressions." A chorus by the e class "Lift Thine Eyes," and a fev propriate remarks by Miss Loot the principal teacher, closed the n: ings exercises. In the evening a Opera House, after prayer by Ellison Capers, the following Ci were read, each one of which v gem: "The Profession of Teaching,' Miss Flora Richoy of Pickens.

We hope in time a more lib< sum will be granted it by the Lej lature, so that instead of one ben ciary from each county, there will several.

"The true teacher musl some extent be born for the worl No amount of training can make a ? class teacher of one to whom the oi attraction presented by the work is number of dollars to be earned by gaging in it; but to the one who earnestly striving for the best ways teaching, thc value of its training is estimable. SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBI CANISM. Investigation and Report by Expert. It is well known that some time s a number of prominent Republicans Massachusetts, distressed at the politi condition of South Carolina, seut ? L. Edwin Dudley to that State on a tc of investigation, the object being to t certain whether a strong Republic organization could be built up thc under white leaders supported by t great mass of the colored populati Mr. Dudley has just made his repoi and the committee to whom the rep< was referred have authorized its pub cation. Copious extracts have be? made from it by the Springfield, Mass Republican and the Providence, R Journal From these sources we gath thsi. "very few white men of any pr noinecce or standing in the State a identified with the Republican part and these few are simply the men w! held Federal offices under former R I publican administrations, and who ai j now looking to holding them again, j Practically, we are told, there is c j Republican party in South Caroiiua t< j day. Scarcely a single white businc! ? man of any social standing is identifie j with it, and although it maintains ii : organization nominally, and goe through the farce of appointing count and central committees, "it has doo nothing for thirteen years/* accordin to Mr. Dudley, except to send delegate to national conventions and make claim to federal patronage." The five colore members in the lower house of th Legislature are Democrats, and one c thc lieutenants of .police and seven o the policemen in Charleston are als colored Democrats. "The white peo pie," Mr. Dudley reports, "are pre vented from uniting with the presen Republican organization in the Stat* because cf a dissatisfaction with it: record and character, aud a disbelief ii its ability to command the respect aoc confidence of a sufficient number o people to place it iu control of the Stat? any time in the future." Herein, fron Mr. Dudley*? own showing, the demo? cratic determination, which he bitterly resents, "not to be ruled by ignorance and vice" finds its best justification foi keeping the control of the State in thc hands of the white population, although they frankly admit tho systematic sup? pression of tho vote of a colored popu? lation of which "eighty per cent, can neither read nor write." Mr. Dudley's proposition is to ignore the present white Republican leaders, who only keep up the pretense of an organization for the purpose of getting appointed to the federal affices, and start a new white and colored organization on thc basis of an equal share of the offices and ad? hesion to the policy of a protective tariff. Thc grounds on which he founds the probability of thc success of such a movement is "the general feeling of dissatisfaction and disgust with Demo crath rule and Democratic methods among a very large part of the white people of thc State, and especially is this thc case among men engaged in business, the white men who are small farmers, manufacturers and attisant*," Hut even these, it appears, arc un? willing to engage in reorganizing the Republican party in South Carolina, ; except on condition "that Congress shall enact some law, and back it up with federal authority, to control elections in j thc State and help thc Independents by j tts ititerfcrenco, to got into the returns all the votes that., because of the machi? nations of an nil-powerful party, arc at present either not cast, (ir not counted. And they ask, furthermore, that thc : nari ?na! Republican committee and thc j national administration shall recognize I their new party by giving ifs members j thc federal offices and by other sy tn - I pathy arid assistance of Hint nature " j j In thc main, this is the old carpet-bag ; programme over again It is Federal in ! terference, backed *by bayonets or rc j volver?, to carry the elections and ; Federal distribufi ti of thc offices. The I I . . . il j latter demand ir is possible to concede. | j but thc day has passed when the Federal . ' government o,:iuid coerce a State in thc ' ! interest of thc dominant party, whether i ! it bo Republican cr Democrat "Thc ; ; adoption of such a policy"' us Mr. Dud? ley sugge^s, pays rho Providence j j Jttnrmtl, "would speedily deprive tho1 independent movement of all its hide- j p itdence. It would quickly become a , j tu? re tail tr; thc Republican kite, and j the new party would be nothing more ? ! than the old Republican organization in , ? : thc State, a more agency for a few . designing men to secure the Federal ; ? patronage." Thc Springfield Ii'rpnhU-: \?au sayo ?v>.u mort emphatically . j "ADJ political combinatioo or organi? zation that counts upon an iguorant tote en Hoc is pre-damned.*' And of Mr. Dudley it says : "He must choose his audience somewhere outside of Mas? sachusetts if he is to preach such a sys? tem of self-government as that." Baltimore Sun. -if -ttl - Tho Citadel Commencement. CHARLESTON .July 3 The commence? ment exercises of the Citadel Academy were brought to a close to-day, and thirteen bright young Carolinians have been sent out into the world to make their way in life. The day was not peculiarly pleasant for going out, but Hibernian Hall was well filled, and the young graduates started out in life over a pathway which, in the commence? ment, at least, was strewn with roses Thc following isa list of the graduating class : S. B. Platt, Aiken ; R. S. Clarkson, Richland ; \V. C. Davis, Clarendon ; W. H. Rose, Charleston ; M L. Smith, Kershaw, C. E. Johnson, Union ; W. H. Dial, Florida; \V. W. Lewis Chester; D. McQ Fraser, Sumter; D D. Haynsworth, Darlington ; W. M. Smith, Spartanburg; L. W. Haskell Abbeville; R. B. Cunningham, Ker? shaw. Thc oration was delivered by Hon. J. J. Hemphill, and essays were read by Cadets Haskell and Lewis, the two first honor graduates. The rain fell in such torrents that the usual commencement parade had to be dispensed with. The battalion will leave here at 8 a. m., to-morrow for the summer camp at Greenville. The Charleston Clergy Adopt Re? solutions in Regard to Recent Occurrences. CHARLESTON', S. C., July 8.-The Charleston clergy were greatly stirred by the acquittal of McDow. At a meeting of the Ministerial Union to-day the Rev. C. C. Pinckney, rector of Grace, Episcopal, Church, offered the following paper, which was adopted by thc union: "In view of the recent occurrences in our midst we, thc Ministerial Union, feel constrained to adopt the following resolutions: "First, that we proclaim abhorence of murder, adultery and all deeds of violeuce which defile the land with blood, and violate the laws of God and man and deprecate ail demonstrations that seem to sanction them; "Second. Resolved, That we will endeavor to stimulate thc public con? science by setting forth the divine law against the reckless shedding of human blood and the curse that law entails upon the community which refuses to punish crime. "Third. Resolved, That we invoke the pulpit throughout the city and state to unite with us in putting down the deeds of violence which have so often disgraced our land and exposed it to the just rebuke of those who honor the command?, 'Thou shalt not kill," and 'Thou shalt not commit adultery." " (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5, 1S89. Mr. Harrison and nearly every prominent member of his administra? tion, greatly to the chagrin of the office seekers, celebrated the "Glorious j Fourth," by taking a short vacation. ? The President, and Secretaries Noble j and Tracy went to Woodstock, Conn , and are not expected to return before Monday; Secretary Blaine went to Bar I Harbor and the date of his return is doubtful ; Secretary Proctor went to Vermont and Postmaster General Wanamaker to Philadelphia. The republican leaders seem to have quite a scare on about the coming elec? tions in the four new states. Senators Allison, Chandler, and Cullom have spent the week io consultation with the "big guns" of their party in figuring out a programme that would give them all the members of tho House as well j as the Senators from those States. They are to remain here until next week so as to get Senator Quay's opinion. Democrats who are well informed be? lieve that the party is almost certain to carry Montana, aud that it has a good Gghtiug chance for one of the Dakota's. The republicans have, it is said, de? cided upon an extra session of Congress to be called about November first. They wanted it October instead of November, but owing to their very slim maj ?rity in the House they concluded to take no chances, but wait for reinforce? ment from the new states. Before leaving Washington the Presi? dent made a large batch of appoint? ments, mostly diplomatic and consular. One of them Eugene Schuyler, of New York to be Consul-general at Cairo, Egypt-has caused a great deal of talk, and when the Senate meets it will cause much more, and it would not be at all surprising if his nomination should be rejected. Mr. Schuyler is a warm fricud of Secretary Blaine by whom he | was selected to be Fi st Assistant Sec- j rotary of State in the early days of thc administration but when his name went to the Senate, then in session, it was soon apparent to the friends of thc ad? ministration that it wouid bc rejected if j voted upon. As soou as Mr. Harrison j was made acquainted with the state of j affairs he withdrew thc nomination, at j the cabled request of Schuyler. j Schuyler was in Europe, where he j spends the greater portion of his time, j but his friends availed themselves of ? the cable to keep him posted. The enmity to Schuyler is on occount of a ; b)ok he published some years ago called ; "American Diplomacy" in which bc ' ridiculed thc Senate to such an extent I as to gain him thc ill will cf many ! Senators. The White House looks almost . deserted, Mrs. Harrison, her father and the McKee children having gone to j Deer Park, Maryland, ami the o Iii co j seekers to thc Lord only knows where, j Sir Julian Pauncefortc the British ' Minister was asked to accompany the ! Presidential party to thc Fourth of July ; celebration at Woodstock, Connecticut, j and a rumor was generally circulated : that bc was going but, as a matter of fact ho declined thc invitation. Ho ; didn't, think it just tho proper sort of j an entertainment for a B itishor. The big discharge of democrats that : was expected to take place at the (Sov ernmcnt Printing cilice July 1, did not materialize. Public Printer Palmer i seems to have adopted Mr. Harrison's i tactics, and is taking his own time in j making changes. Secretary Noble may, or may not have been affected by the charge recent-j ly made in thc newspapers against ! Pension Commissioner Tanner of allow? ing favoritism to bc shown in the taking 1 up of applications for pensions. At ; .any rate he tua scut tito pojunjj^bioncr i the following: "Attention is required to the following regulations applicable to the bureau of pensions: "Order No 108, January 23, 1885-Owing to the pressure brought to bear frorji all quar? teis to take cases out of their regular order, aod as at this late date poverty and hardship from further delay can bc alleged of almost every applicant alike, therefore cases will be taken out of their order only when such cause therefore is shown to the Commissioner in writing as would satisfy the other worthy claimants whose claims percede it should they know the facts, that such action is pioper. Hereafter no case will be ad? vanced that is not clearly within this rule. It is hereby further ordered that this rule be extended so as to embrace cases only where the applicant is in very great destitution or at the point of death. This regulation will not only be strictly enforced but attorneys, agents or others persisting in applica? tions contrary to its language and spirit will be disbarred from practice before the department. You will have this made public." A friend of Secretary Blaine tells mc that there would be no more consular appointments made before fall. If this is true there is disappointment io store for lots of folks. Sullivan and Kilrain. John h. Sullivan was victor in the long expected battle with Jake Kilrain, the fight taking place on Monday July 8th, at Richburg, Marion County, Miss., 103 nriles from New Orleans, on the line of the Queen and Crescent system, and notwithstanding the many proclamations of Governor Lowry against the prize fighters there was no interference worthy the name. Three thousand people witnessed the fight. There was no interference either by the authorities or the spectators and the encounter was carried to a legitimate conclusion. Seventy-five rounds were fought, lasting two hours and eighteen seconds, when Kilrain's seconds threw up the sponge. Earlier in the battle, Sullivan's stomach ehowiog signs of weakness, Kilrain proposed a draw, the big fellow resenting the proposiiton with a knock-down blow. The fight was Sullivan's from the start. He sustained but little punishment. Kilrain received some severe punishment, but in the opin? ion cf many of his hitherto admirers it was not so severe as to justify his quitting the fight when he did. The Governor had stationed his militia at every point except the threat? ened one. Although it had been an? nounced for nearly a month that the fight would take place along the line of this road the militia were stationed along the line of every other railroad leading into Louisiana except this one. Singular, wasn't it ? John L. Sullivan now bolds the champion belt and is the winner of the purse of $'20,000 put up on the match between Kilrain and the Boston boy. Richard K. Fox, owner of the Police Gazette was Kilraiu's backer, and the iV. Y. Herald, from which this report of the fight is taken, says : Bys. losing thc fight Kilrain has lightened Fox's pocket to the amount of ?20.000. In the first place, Fox furnished Kilrain's stake of ?10.000; then he paid his expenses to Europe, and both his and Mitchell's expenses on the return trip to the United States. He paid for Kilrain's training, which cost a pretty penny, as Mitchell is an j expensive trainer. His total outlay on j thc fight was certainly as much as ?20, 000. WHO THE GI AKTS AUK John L. Sullivan was born about thirty years ago iu Highlands, Bast?n, j He first came into notoriety by his box lng while acting as a trainer in the j Ryan-Gos8 fight This engaged the attention of McCormack, who carried him to Cincinnati, where he sparred with John Doneison, defeating him easily in seven rounds. His next fight was with John Floyd, on a barge near New York, winning an easy victory ; then he defeated Steve Taylor in four rounds. February 9th, 1882, he had his famous fight with Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, which he won, together with thc championship, in nine rounds. Then he made his famous starring tour, during which he offered ?500 to any man who would stand up before him four rounds. Out of fifty who at va? rious places tried to do.so Tug Wilson was the only who succeeded, and he did so by laying down down every timo a blow was struck. Then he fought the Maori, defeating him in two rounds ; then he defeated Charlie Mitchell, Alf Greenfield twice and Paddy Ryan for the second time. He then fought Patsy Cardiff, breaking his arm; the fight was declared a draw. While thus crip? pled he was challenged by Kilrain. He then fought Charlie Mitchell over 100 rounds in France, resulting in another draw, Sullivan breaking bis other arm. Ile then accepted the Kil? rain challenge and asked for six mon hts in which fo get iuto condition. The fight was for $10,000 a side and the Police Gazette belt, valued at $1,000. Sullivan is five feet ten and three fourths inches high and fights at 205 pounds. Jake Kilrain was born atGreenburg, Columbia County, New York, and is 35 years of age. He was raised near Bos? ton, where he won the amateur cham? pionship for single scull as an oarsman. Ho defeated Mike Cleary, Jim Good, Lannan and Frank Heard, fought a draw with Mitchell, also with Jem Smith. This was his most notable fight, and occurred a little over a year j ago, in Franco. Ono hundred and sixty rounds were fought, and thc mill was declared a draw on account of dark? ness. Kilrain is .*> feet Iii iuches tall, ami fights at 100 pounds. mn I Bli - - Perfect health depends upon a perfect con? dition of thc blood.
