SOTBBI?TENDENT TALBBBTS'* SCUBBILOUS LETTER. J. Talbert, Superintendent of the Penitentiary has vented his spleen against KiitorA B Williams, of the G reeta ville, Jfcw9 in a letter published in yesterday's Statte at bis request. It is of so scurrilous a character that the State is forced to excuse ita publication upon the ground that it "would willingly publish such a letter about j its own editor knowing tbat slander defeats ita eva ends," further "that it demonstrates the total unfitness of certain men to bold office among free, intelligent and decent people." Nobody says the "State "who knows A. B. Williams can doubt that be is a brainy patriotic, independent man, who speaks the truth as be knows it, and is to be taken as authority on any question one thousand times sooner than any scurvy poli ii ci an whose whole stock in trade is abuse and slander of ? manly men and an abject servility to the prejudices of those in power. Su perin ten dent Talbert seems to vie with Gov. Tillman in the nae of their abondant vocabulary of abuse and. vituperation. Such an effusion would scarcely be expected to emanate from [ one af the prisoners in the Penitentiary, far less from the Superintendent-from one at the head of, perhaps, tbe most important institu? tion io tbe State. Such a letter is a disgrace to any administration, and would -actually shoe* tue sensibilities of the convicts under his charg?. MORE LIGHT FOB THE CABO LINA COAST. The wreck of the British steamer Straitbairly V , last week near Cape Hatteras with the loss of nearly tbe whole crew is a deplorable instance of the lack of light and life saving stations along tbe North Carolina Coast in the vicinity of this dangerous point. The reasou assigned - ? by toe survivors was the thick weather aad inability to take observations. Tbe vessel strack about 4.40 in the morning and before daylight bad gone to pieces. Tbe Captain - i and navigator h td been ou the bridge for three nights and were unable to get an observation. It is said the government will eventually f-'_V establish a powerrul light on the Outer Diamond Shoal, off Hatteras. But between Cape Hatteras Light and Body'slsland Light, ? distance of about thirty miles, there is no light. Between the thirty-6fth and thirty ?ixth parallels of latitude that part of the Carolina coast exposed to the most gigantic wavies and tempests of the Atlantic, has J twelve lights, ?ve of which only are on the -., waler coast line, while on the New England coast between the thirty-third and thirty fourth parallels there are twenty-one lights. The- latter number may not be more than are absolutely needed for tbe safety of navigation - wo tba lUaine coast. But, it so, it would seem evident that the vicinity of Hatteras, along which passes the greater part of oar coastwise shipping, should be better ligh-ed and supplied with life saving stations at shorter intervals. Old sailors have been said to dread less, rounding Cape Horn than Hatteras, in bad - weather. North Carolina through her rep ~ reseotatives should, for the preservation of . 'human life and in- the interest of property oak congress for more light. ; Coosaw Composed. * Since the filing of the Injunction order by tbe Coosaw company . restraining tbe Phos? phate Commissioners and others from tres? passing on their territory in Coosaw river ; the answer of the State and subsequent appointment by Judge Aldrich of- Mr. U. R. Brooks aa Receiver, for the State, peace reigns in Warsaw or rather Coo3nw. We cannot resist the conclusion but that the "politeness" and urbanity of Mr. Brooks bas been felt and bas in a lat ge measure effected this com -pes?te. It is stated that Mr. John S. Silver well known in Sumter as the former President of the C. S. ? N: R. R. Co. bonded money from other banks than the Washington National and now owes in the aggregate about $300,000. Fus in Florance. Ott Wt Sunday ; afternoon the Central Hotel, tbe leading hotel in Florence, together with two stores and a barber shop, all owned by Mr. Barringer, proprietor of the hotel, to? gether with the stables and out buildings of the Jacobi House were burned. Tb? origio of the tire is uncertain. It started in the roof o? the Central Hotel, a?d wa*probably due to a defective flue or rats sod matches. Ai) the buildings immediately ?round ibe hotel teeing of wood, the tire sprang from one to the other with great ra? pidity. At one time it was almost certain that the Jacobi House, a store adjoining sod the Presbyterian Church would go, but the good v.oik ot tbe three tire companies and a number of volunteer firemen saved them, but narro//'/*, and many of those ?ho mounted the lackers. pas?ed and poured the water were badly blistered bj the tire The men govern? ing th. uozzels had to be kept covered with wet blankets The revised list of the tosses gives the fol? lowing result : Hotel owned bj J. L Barrin? ger, valued at $I?,0u0: insurance $6 Ooo. Stores owned by W. it. Barringer, valued at ^.T.OO? ; insurance on buitdtr.g and stock $6.000. Barber shep, owned by M.

We have been famished by the author with a copy of the following original essay deli? ered before the Youth's Industrial Educa tiooal Society (Colored) at Rembert's, S. C It is a pleasure to publish as a specimen copy a paper which gives so much evidence of earn est effort on the part of the Society to "Re? form Ability." Hefonrm Ability. It is now that we should look at our refonrm ability from our present standpoint or condition ; what our ability is, and what it witt be wbeu we shall have worked out those problems that attends to elevation. My dear friends the first thing to be con sidered is our present condition or ability. If we were to take up om case and the analysis thereof we would find our ability as being fickle and falsified ; we would find it of such a nature as that our race have ever been accused. And tbat ioteligence have ever disguise or look down upon as a tragedy and filtiness and that one consumption breeds another a careful analysis of our condition will sure that it has the nature to distroy unity more so than to build it op or repair it and that this bas been our nature from thence fourth up unteli the present ; and now it is our business to refourm our ability hencefourthly. Now we sees our present standpoint and now it is how that we can refourm our ability ? we shall have to take the matter somewhat in consideration as con? gress does the tariff on cirtain articles when it becomes a tragedy ; it cuts down the tariff by so many percentage uutell the article can be had by all levities of the United States and this is th? only way that I sets now by which we can refourm our ability. We must first find out in our present nature what is it so tragedious to the race and cut down the tragedy by precentages untell we are free from that, that attends to death and d?gradation of citisou ship, of manhood, of vital power, of ph; sical power, of society, and refourm ability. Dear friends this matter should be looked at with interest and subscribed by every one, because it is what has caused this race to hare been looked at as a chen > -.rticle and of little productions. I should think we are as whole? some as any race; though I will always submit that we are what we make our selves. Allow me dear friends to introduce one of those articles that have been a tragedy and picture of ununited facculties that a race should be naturaly comprised of; and that is improper language. Improper language is a tragedy to this mee and it has heit such a strong holt U|?on the speach of this race that, since freedom, the young men and women that have been bourn, grown up. had the pleasure of going to school, who is al the bead of many inteligence, speaks improper language. We must begin with this like all other inferiorities that is found to consist io our nature and present state and begin to cut down the habits and accustoms by whatsoover advantage is found unappreciated. Seek pure and perfect language that your speach will be unagitated and those you speak to will not have to judge your wrong word for the right one that is ment. Be aware'of this young men, remember it young women master it ye school boys and girls you will have to teach, very soon your selves or recommend % our school or be introduced to some one whose eyes and ears are much larger than yours and will detect the frontier of your refourm a-j being incompleted. Now young men cooceal ibis as a vow as an aim and whatever comes or dsent come to do the best you eau to make your speach more explicit, and all other shady tragedies of life, antell the unrepresentiog clouds pass away md theo we shall ii?j>y the brightness of the lay and sunshiue ot freedom like God has >rdain for us. ASA HUNTES. Letter From Guv. March 2.tb, 1891. And the land shall be drenched with more ?et -Hez iv--xv. This wise prophecy was made somewhere tbout the spring of the 91st year of the 19>h ?euiury. Some doubt has been cast upon he authorship of the same, whether Hezekiah >r Hicki; but having arrogated to himself he credit of so many kindred prophecies that tever came to pass, we venture, in this in tauce, 'lo give the benefit of the doubt to iezekiab, as ii has been so fully fulfilled, and 3 still continuing tofulfiil aud fill tull, even LS we write. We know we mentioned the weather in our ast discourse, and admit that generally it is a DOnotonous su Jj- ct to which is applied va ious stale platitudes aud sterotyped remarks ; ?ut just now, in this agricultural laud of ours, rbiie the stock stands in the stables and the 'contracts" are idle and the soggy sod re iiaios cold aud unturned, il id a principa! ubject of thought and ta<k, and we are con trained to touch lightly upon the subject gain, la fact we are forced to touch every hing lightly now, as what ai'ut sufi and *>ggy is wet aod muddy. We traveled to Sumter about two weeks go, partly by water, and partly by mud ?nd 'private-convenience," and we judge by tue weather since, that the mode ot travel by thai oute is the same still. We want to plant corn!! We are like idam. Adam was a contract band and the 1st March came ou Saturday. A fire got ut on that day and all hands were forced to ghi fire. We said to him : "Adam, ihis eems a little hard, don'i?t?" "Weil, yes," ?id be, "Mas Guv 1 would'nt mine so much, at I did want lo git a leetie ma-a-tch corn in e grown." So do we all now ; but we'll be og ow oed if some of us can get in the ceida a look at "de grown," much less to plow, 'hereon places tbat would bog-well, they'd og an idea if it tried to cross.

The town of Bishopville as a new school district by the act of the last legislature, has levied an extra 4 mill tax for the maintenance of a new Graded School. Mayeaville has re-levied her usual 4 mill tax for the exten? sion of the Terms of the Graded Schools. Providence, Meihaoicaville, and Swimming Pens, will, we are informed hy Commissioner John T. Green, do as Mayesville has in the premises. The County Board of Examiners will attend a meeting of the* State Board called by Superiutendent Mayfield for Friday next. Professor William T. Hornaday, of the Smithsonian Institution, will contribute to Harper's Young People for March 31 st, the first of a seiies of practical articles on taxidermy. Harpers Young People has something attractive to offer to j oung gardeners in the way of a' Cotton Contest." It proposes to give one hundred prizes to those who prove the best cotton "planters."

Pain Proved to be Comparative. The Nineteenth Century has an article in a recent number from thc per. of W. Collier, dealing with the relative sensitiveness to pain of the animal kingdom. He shows that as we descend the scale the sensations become more blunted. Active brain workers are most susceptible to pain. With pain as a resultant, there of course exists causes, and these are mainly dyspepsia, general debility, loss of appetite, insomnia, chronic malarial, toxaemia, blood poisoning, disordered liver and kidney complaint. Nature has provided a remedy which is embodied in a formula that is the wonder of the medical world for its complete routing of these combined or sepa.ate ailments. It is Dr. Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic. Physicians prescribe it daily for their patients. In malarial districts it is unrivalled For sale by all druggists and wholesale by Dr. A. J.
