It is otit improbable that a relief expedi tion wiH emit about one year hence. Liquor dealers who have stock left on hand had better make haste to j hide it, for they may be indicted for faring it, and a prim a facie case made out against them. The new bonds of South Carolina hare ail been placed, and the bonded debt is settled for so long a time that few of the present voters will be troubled by it again. Gov. Tiilman and Treasurer B?tes are deserving. of praise for ac eoaan?shing the task. Geo. S. Mower, Conservative, has been elected Senator of Newberry County, by a majority of 181 over Dr. 0. T. Wyehe, Tftlmanite. This is en couraging, and ts proof that adherence to principles and a clean-cut fight will tiring victory after a time. Presidest Cleveland's call for an extra session ef Congress has, in a measure, restored confidence in finan cial circles, for everybody, save tbe paternalistic demagogues, believe that Cleveland will use his best energies to give relief to the country. - / -The St. Matthew's Oil Mill for tbe last year throws down the gauntlet and challenge* any mill in the State to pick is op. . The remarkable dividend of 62J per cent was dee&red on the capi tal stoek. Suppose Sumter bad built that $25,000 oil mill talked about a few years ago t demson College opens to-day. It has a fine equipment, a large income and a select corps of professors; and if it is not successful, if it does not accom plish a great work, we may conclude that there is no sphere for it. We believe otherwise, however, and expect great things of Clemsoa. - The indications are that the blind ttiger has removed*"his lair far from the tbosy crowd's maddening strife, and now snoot be sought io the rural districts. We don't mean to say, however, that something a tittle more ardent than the -**80ft" drinks not tabooed by law can not be had io the towns, when you know how to wink the other eye. A metropolitan editor states a truth thus forcibly: "A newspaper man's space is just tbe same as the stock in trade of a merchant. Every line that the publisher gives to boom the Jtowa or say good 'words to the people should ?' e?>me back to him some way by a geaer- i oos support. Tbe publisher has apace ' to let and the business man is wise who ! contracts for some of that space 'to let* \ the people know vfettfee has to sell." Mr. L. Motte ?agia was oo last Saturday nominated to succeed the late j Louis u- DesChamns as .Senator from Clarasion Coaoty. Mr. Eagin is a \ saember of the Tiilman faction, but is j conservative, and at the last election ' was defeated for School Commissioner or t&e extremists of bis faction on seoooot e/ this very conservatism. Hb Domination over the slate candidate of i the extreme Tillmaoites is a welcome ' sign, as it shows a return of peace and ] ha rmony and pressa^es the death of that \ b&ter partisan passion that elected any sort of men to office without regard to their qualifications so long as they had the correct bitter twang of Tiilman ism. Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, has par dooed Fie I den, Schwab and Meebe, the i surviving Haymarket anarchists bomb- I throwers, who have been serving sen tence in the Joliet prison. He has been harshly and sever*!? criticised by almost the entire press, for public ssotimeot has always been that the anarchists got off too lightly?that they should bave been banged. He givjes as bis reasons for pardoning them ; "That the jury men said they could not give the case a fair and impartial trial $ that the man who threw the bomb was qot brought io to court, and gave no evidence; that it was not proved that the man who , , threw the bomb bad any connection with j these meo or was influenced by tbam."

C , June 30, 1893. Whereas the distrust and apprehension con cerning the financial situation, which pervade all busioess circles, have already caused great loss and damage to our people, and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of manufacture, briDg distress and privation to our farmers, and withhold from our working man the wages of labor : and whereas the present perilous condition is largely the result of the financial policy, which the executive branch of the government finds embodied in unwise laws, which must be executed uutd repealed by Congress, Nb wP therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, Presi dent of tbe United States, io performance of a constitutional duty, do, by this proclama-ion declare that the extraordinary occasion requires the convening of both Houses of the Congress of the United States at the Capitol, io the City of Washington, on the seventh day of A neust next, at twelve o'clock, noon, to the end that the people may be relieved through legislation, from the present and impeuding danger and distress. All those entitled to act as members of the Fifty-third Congress are required to take notice of this proclamation and attend at the time and place above stated. Given under my hand and the s?al of the United States at the City of Washington, on the thirtieth day of June, the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, and of the independence of the United States, the one hundred and seven teenth. GROVER CLLVBLAND. Washing ton June, 30. WASHINGTON LETTER. WA?HINGTOK, July 3, 1893. President Cleveland neyer did a more uni versally popular thing than when he issued his proclamation calling ar. extra session of Congress to meet August 7, *it being generally conceded by even-body that the financial situation demands Congressional legislation, although, of course, there is a difference of opinioo as to the exact oailure of what that legislation ought to be. It is well known that in calling the extra session for August instead of September, as originally intended, the President deferred to public opinion as re presented by prominent individuals and busi ness orginizations in every section. They stated to him that in their judgment an early extra session would have a tendency of itself to restore Dublic confidence and improve the I financial situation, and although it greatly inconvenienced biro personally, and doubtless many of the senators and representatives who bad made their arrangements for September, he yielded, and a good effect is already per ceptible. Now that the extra session has been called, the question naturally arises, what will it do? Mr. Cleveland states in his proclamation that "The present perilous condition is largely the result of a financial policy which tbeexecutive branch of the government finds embodied in unwise laws which must be executed until re pealed by Congress," and it would seem that j both house and senate being democratic, J there should be no difficulty in having those unwise laws repealed at the request of a demo cratic administration, particularly when the fact is remembered that the Chicago platform, npon wbich tbe democratic party carried the country by an overwhelming majority, de nounced those laws and demanded their re peal; but there is a difficulty, and a doubt, although it is growing less substantial, as to the repeal of the Sherman Silver law. The absence of Mr. Cleveland, who does not expect to return to Washington until just before the extra session meets, and the reti cence of the members of the cabinet, most of whom expect to take their vacations between this time bt d August 7, indicates that having done its duty the administration proposes now to feeep its hands off and iet Congress do "rts duty, believing that the business interests of tbe country will make its influence suffi ciently felt in Congress to make the repeal of the Sherman law a certainly. A personal friend of the President said this morning, "I do not believe that Mr. Cleveland will have another word to say publicly on ;hts question until he sends his message to Congress, which jf I mistake not, will be a convincing docu ment." Senator Vorhees, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, who has always voted for the free coinage of silver, is strongly in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law, nd expressis the belief that it will be repealed. Toe Senator is alwaj-s a power in Congress and his aid will unquestionably be valuable in the Senate where the strongest opposition to the repeal will be met. It seems to te set tled ia the minds of those who have been stud ying the question that the House will vote for repeal by a majority of not less than 20, although it may take good leadership and some hard fighting to get it to a vote. Jo view of the probability of a prolonged ght io wbich the whole silver question would be thoroughly stirred up and its prob able bad effect upon financial affairs, the sug gestion bas been made that it would be good policy for the extra session to pass a resolu tion authorising the President to suspeud the purchase ot silrer under the Sherman law aad then at onoe adjourn. It is claimed by the advocates of <his plan that it would demon strate before the opening of the regular ses sion of Congress whether the purchase ot silver was as largely responsible for the financial stringency as it is claimed to be and would . enable Congress to legislate upon the subject I with more inielligeuce. Un the other hand, there are numbers of democrats who say the party is pledged to give tbe country finan cial and tariif reform and that the work should begin with the .extra session ard not eud un til it h s been thoroughly completed. The canvas for the officers of the House will necessarily be short. Speaker Crisp will be reelected without opposition, and clerk Kerr is so far the only candidate tor his position. In addison to the incumbents-S S. Voder, of Ohio, Charles H. Turner, of New York, and Lycurgus Dalton, of Indiana-there are a number of gentlemen who would like to be Sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeepei and Post Mas ter, and the probabilities are that they will make a r^ry Uyj ly campaign with the chances slightly in favor of the old officials. -- mmm - Dots From Manville. Mr. Editor: Since my last writing, the ex cessive rains we have hail, have plunged the farmers into a bad state of the blues, as they caused "Gen. Green," to secure such a firm hold upon l))<-ir crops, that it takes the hard est kind of fighting with boc a:id plow to loosen hi? grip. The promise we've had of a good fruit year, id beirig fulfilled. Plenty of plums and apples. Peaches are ripening. Huckleber ries and blackberries in perfiCt abundance. Grapes will also be plentiful. Gardens generally ate fine, but among the negroes and poorer classes, meit is so scarce, to cook ihe vegetables im, the gardens are j r.ot of much servie? to them. Many around 1 here have not ta 'ed meat for weeks. Mr. Wm McCtikhen has been very ill for ! weeks, and i-; still in a critical condition. Mi s M P.

Mr. Editor: All of your readers who are interested in our historical literature will be pleased that Prof. It. Means Davis has ac cepted an invitation to prepare a paper to be read before a meeting of the World's Congress Auxiliary on this sul-j-ct: "The History and Present Condition of Suffrage in South Carolina." A for cible writer, a deep student of his'oryf-a gen tleman of culture and broad erudition, Prof. Davis is peculiarly fitted to treat this impor tant subject in a manner at once discriminat ing, scholarly and practical. It is fortunate for the State that such a roan as this was in vited to prepare thi9 paper, which will be an interesting chapter to the already interesting history of South Carolina. In the "Hand Book'' of the State there is an elaborate and remarkably well prepared "Sketch of Educa tion in South Carolina," from Prof. Davi3. He shows in this sketch the value of education, and this portion is one of the finest things I have ever read. Teachers who make their scholars recite, might well take tbi3 portion as n piece for recitation. I will close by giv ing a paragraph from it. "Man hes conquered nature. She doe3 his work without fatigue and withoKt complaint. But for him she canuot think. Thought is his alone, and he thinks best who thinks most, whose miud is best trained in correct methods. Bismark, Beaconsfield, Gladstone, Moltke, have swayed'Europe by brain, not by brawn. Indiana 8 war governor and Geor gia's commoner, from their invalid chairs have, at time*, shaken our political fabric to its foundations. A single thought of Edison's may be worth millions. MCDONALD FURMAH. A Fitting Tribute To the Memory of the late Rev. S. M. Richardson. Rev. S M. Richardson, a namesynonymous with purity of life, earnestness of character and love for his fellow-man, has fallen asleep. In the umversal sorrow that has come to those who knew and loved him, Tiramonsville Lodge, . O. G. T. mourns the loss of ber beloved chaplain, who was to her a stay and support, and who gave to her out of the abun dance of his love for any object or organiza tion tending to elevate mankind and work for the cause of God and borne a d every land, j an affectionate interest that never lagged, a devoted regard to which more than to any other extraneous cause its past pros perity has been due. The Elijah of its mem bership, whose disciple they delighted to be, with hearts bowed in humble submission to the inscrutible wisdom of Him who doeth all things well, they can but deplore the vacant chair in the lodge-room, which others may occupy but not fill, unless in God's own Providence his mantle may some day be per mitted to rest on an Elisha who may follow in his footsteps and carry on the work to which he devoted his life. When we think of the glorious fulfillment of his labors, the battle fought, the victory ! won, our sorrow is mingled with joy that to us belongs the influence and example of such a saintly life. May we take strength and courage to carry on this work from the thought that he, from tbe beautiful beyond into which he has passed would even now rejoice at our success. We can only mingle our tears with those of his loved ones so irre parably bereaved. A loving and affectionate husband, a devoted and indulgen-, father, a true and 'tried friend bas been taken. A Good Templar in word and though: and deed, without dissimulation or the appearance of guile, the father of templary in Timraonsville, our lodge can only resolve to keep bis memory green in the food recollections of its member ship and affectionately inscribe a page iu our records with these word3 of grateful recogni tion of his labors in ber behalf.
