James Kirkland bas been elected chancellor of Vanderbilt University, Nash?* "wile, Tenn., though not yet 40 years old-if we mista?e o ot be is nearer 35; thao* 40. He ie a Soi?3h Carol ?ia? and a- graduate of Wofford College. There is ?oe freehold voter in MoHltrie viile, Sullivan's ?s-and, and he bas signed a petition for the appointment of a liquor dis? penser. Bt is elene that the majority favors the dispensary, and the Board of Control aboold have no h?sitation in establishing tho ' dispensary. TbeTeacber/s Institute for the ?bite teachers of Sumter county will? be held* during next week, About forty teachers will be present, and all bat about fifteen have been provided with homes-. Those who are willing to entertain them should notify School Commis- ! 8 ?oner Da Ra nt so that he may make the assignments at once-. The- latest fron?

Senator Irby claims that he is the one to whom this is due-, rf this be true and Perry gets left,, we will remember to do Senator Irby a good torn sometime or other. & is king snake killing the copperhead, and we are not partial to-any sort of snake. Whenever the attempt is made to enact a law requiring the railroads to provide separate coaches for whites and negroes, a rigorous* protest is made by the negroes, and there is a tot of talk abo ur personal rights, discrimina- j rion, Ac. ; yet, whenever the negroes ron an 1 -excursion, they are particular to advertise ; that separate coaches ace provided. Curious-j isa': it? We observe in the compendium- of the Census of 1890,. sent us lbroogh the courtesy af Senator Butler, that the per cent increase ia population of Summer between 'SO and '90 wis 22.19 If the people of Sumter will, each one according to his real ability (and not according to bis- imagined inability), take stock io the proposed $206,000 cotton mill, :h? next censas will show a much greater iu- 1 cnase. Tko Wilmington Stur of the 23d tnsr. gives an official statement of the condition of the ii Baak of Sew Hanover ?nd says: The capita! I stock and undivided profits and unpaid dividends, (amounting to $353,991.440- ail of which it ia conceded the stockholders must lose-it deducted from, the total liabilities $?,605,416 03) make the cet liabilities* . $1,261,421.?4. To meet th>s, the bank hms, as before stated, assets ? mounting to $1,605, 4J6 08, or $353,984.44more than its liabilities to depositors and other creditors, and should there be a loss or shrinkage of this amount ($353,994 41) in the assets, they will s-iill get one hundred cents on the dollar. The anti-dispensary people of Lancaster Coua-iv were- too quick in congratulating themselves that there would be uo Honor sold in their county. Pleasant Hill, a town in that county, boasting- three freehold voters, baa determined to be the disturbing spirit. One freeholder want? to he dispenser, on? ap? poses the whole sebeme, and the other was .opposed to ba indifferent. The would-be dispenser, however, bas in du cod the indiff?r? ent freeholder to sign bis petitioa, and the State of South Carolina, wholesale ?nd retail liquor dealer, will gain a foothold io. Lan? caster. The Government of Lndia has discontinued the free coinage of silver, at tbe dictation of the Eaglis?- government it is surmised, and I the gold standard will prevail:. This was j necessitated by the rapid aVcrease ia value of j silver and the 5-.ilure of the tffort to main? tain the silver standard. The effect bag been, felt in the silver market of this county already. SHver bullion bas gone down to II, silver certificate:) have declined to 7T? and Mexican* dollars are for sale at 60 cents.

TOWNSEND'S TRIALS. rf Attorney General Townsend were- not a Till man i te be would be the object of our ata-erest syrooatby, but sines he is we assume the philosophical attitude ?^id view him as aa etim.de illustrating the iae*it?*bleaess of f earthly retribution. lie diligently sought j the honors or" the Attorney Generalship and rt3 spoils a::d worries, yea, he even- tonged and sighed for thean, and ?nen 8-:a, th-? dema? gogue of refawm d*edel, in fee simple, the desired place-to Vonng .Fohn Pipe ha ptac-d himself in the Hoe of succession and did most of the work for the s ii 1 YVHH?

Be weat up, though the rush for the vacat? ed sandila created a rift tn the unbroken, cloudy canopy of refawrn, and tiie entente ?ordpile bet ween several pillars of the taoec-! nade wa* destroyed.

We seen* to distinguish an undertone to his wail thatsays, retribution 1 retribution I He is an object for sympathy that he-does not deserve and will notget ;. yet, while we philosophically view his writhings and wiggling^ io the attessp> to perform- the impossible task of construing the dispensary law to 6t each and every one of the divers conditions arising, and declare it lawful to establish a liquor shop in every good market, we are not sufficiently hard-hearted to wish his* lines to be east in harder places. WOT WAKTED* The Columbia Journal says that Cal Caugh man says that the people are going to re-elect Senator Butler. The Jowrnaf may be a friend of Senator Btatler: but it bus adopted a most unfortunate way of proving it. The mere coupling of Ru?ler's name with Caughman's is ac injury ta ?he former, and, if those people, who have always been Senator Butler's friend's-, are con? firmed ia their suspicions that he is affiliating wkbCaughman and that ilk, in hope of ob? taining re-election, they will most assuredly leave him. ta depend on? his chosen eleventh hour friends. Caughmanisoneof the original Tillmanites, be is one of their stars rn the howling down act,, he is- a disgrace- to the State. We bave heard him boast publicly on the street of Columbia that he did not vote for Gov. Hampton in 1878-, and swear with ail the vile oaths that a black heart and polluted mind could frarae^ that he would never vote forbin*. He belongs to the Tillraankes ;. he ?srorwa3, a favorite of Gov. Tillman,, who declared there was noblet on his escutcheon, and the Conservatives doo't want him, and Senator Ratler should, be ashamed of h Ls sup? port. Confederate Veteran Re-union.

The 'Vic? toria" had an enormous- hole made in her side through which- tte water poured in ; torrents. , The immense hull- of the "Victoria" at once began to settle and before those on boan! of her could cast loose their small boats sha went to the bottom, carrying dew H with her nearly all 0:1 board. Some ol the officers and crew ramaged to get out of the suction caused by the sinking vessel and wer? rescued. Among those lost is Vice Admiral Tryon. The first reports of the disaster stated that about two hundred men were drowned, but later dispatches show that the loss- of tofe is greater, not less than four hundred ol" the 0Akers and crew of tba ''Victoria" having gone down with their ship. The' Victoria" was a twin screw battle? ship of 10,470 tons and 14,0*0 horsepower. She mounted fifteen gund. Thc "Camperdown" is also a first class 1 twin SC ew battleship.
