Miss Mary Ann Buie {says the Colum-
bia Union, is receiving the generout tsym-
pathy Of the public in her good work Of
establishing school in this city, and il
continued has every prospect of success
in the great and .laudablework she has
undertaken. It is her endcavor to found
this institute on a basis that will be per-
manent, and second to none. We are
sure that the aid she has already receiv-
ed is encouraging towards the compile
ton of the object, and trust that it may
be continued. Miss Ruie is widely and
favorably known, formerly as the Sol
7diers' Friend, and no less so now that
she is putting forth every effort in secur-
ing an education for their orphans. She
has had much TO contend against, hav-
ing met with many serious disappoint-
ments, but still works on, and her enter.
prise and perseverance should meet with
responsive appreciation from wider
field. Let those who take an interest in
educational matters, (and who does not?)
give their aid freely. Liberal contribu-
tions have been made by many in this
city, and the work now is being pursued
under more encouraging auspices than
hitherto. Col. L. D. Childs,. President
of the Carolina National Bank, of this
city, will receive all donations for Miss,
Buies school.

OBITUARY.

There are those in every community
who, by some popularity Reorganization,
or some rare combination Of virtues and
attractions, form the nucleus around
which centre family ties, social intlu-
onces, and the love of all hearts. They
seem to unite in themselves all the beau
tiful qualities necessary to make them
the link that binds many together in the
same interests and pleasures And when
death comes and snatches away such a
one, the link is broken, the circle is
dissolved, and void is created which
no new combination can ever fill! AL. :
The death Of EMMA +. DAY, the be-
loved wife Of Mr.. CHARLES a. MATf11s,
and the eldest daughter of JULIUS DAY,
Esq, on the; 9th OF May 1871, in the

conspicuous, yet melancholy, instance Of
this fact. 'F ~

SHOOTING AFFEAY.-Ony yesterday even
ing, about seven o'clock, shooting affray
occurred in the office of the Globe Hotel,
which, for while, occasioned a good deal
of excitement. The facts of the case,
from what we can learn, appear to have
been as follows Several days ago, Otis l..
Cook, Northern man, who is living and
doing business in Aiken, South Carolina,
came to this city and stopped at the Globe
Hotel. He deposited one hundred and
seventy dollars in the office with a request
that he be not allowed to spend more than
seventy dollars of the amount, as he seem
ed to be aware of his weakness For two
or three days he seems to have drank a
good deal, and declined to return to his
home. He frequently drew small sums Of
money from his deposit, and on yesterday
afternoon came for more, while, apparent
", good deal under the influence ofliquor.
Mr. Hewitt, the proprietor, gave him what
he wanted, but stated that he didn't wish
TO have such drunken brute in his house
any longer. Later in the evening Cook
came in again and demanded his money,
which the clerk was preparing give him,
when he asked for the proprietor Of the
hotel, applying very insulting epithet to
him, and saying that he had come for ar
apology. Mr.. Hewitt was sent for, and
when he came into the Office he and Mr.
Cook had some words, which resulted in
the former striking the latter on his head
and shoulders with an iron .shoo-hy' rod
Mr.. Cook then drewa revolver, when Mr.
Hewitt drew also and fired one shot, which
did no damage. At this state Of the az
fair the by-standcr5 interered and ended

A High Compliment.


The Charleston Ne,ds, of the oath, con.
tains the following complimentary notice
of the Policy, holders Life and Tontine
Association of the South" 1t is u just
tributeto properly managed institution
This is the only Life Assurance Conpa-
ny in the State, and deserves the patron
age of our people.
"Tho New York Underpriter and Gen.
eral Joint Stock Register, for May, has
been laid on our desk. Among it's items
of interest to the life insuring public, we
notice the annual report Of the President
of the Policy-Holders' Life and Tontine
Assurance Company of the South" The
publication of this report by that journal
was, we learn, entirely voluntary, and,
therefore, it is compliment which
should be, and no doubt is, highly ap-
preciated by the officers ard trustees OF
the company, because, as it may fairly
be assumed, the plans and practice OF
the company, as detailed in the report,
meet the approval of its editors; and ap-
proval from such recognized authority
in life insurance circles is no small COM
mendation.
g 1t has been too much the practice of
Northern insurance Journals to decry
any and every effort to establish South
ern life companies, but the Umdervriter,
of New York, has, by this publication,
given evidence of having risen above
such petty prejudice, and of its desire to
give publicity to such principles and
practice i'll life assurance as meet its ap-
proval, whether found South or North
of Mason and DiXon's line. We are
pleased to see this implied recognition OF
the merits Of this young company, not
only because we believe the company
entitled to it, but because we believe it
will give confidence to timid people,
some of whom may be found in every
community, who may have withheld
support from the company until now, in
stead of aiding it's earliest efforts at .,es-
tablishment.
"The support of this company will, in
measure, supply want whichhas pre-
venteda more speedy recuperation in all
the departments of industry, towit: Cap
ital. Could the. aggregate amount oflite in
surance premiums sent out of the State
since the war have been retained for in
vestment'in it, we feel assured the sum
would be moro than than the aggregate
Of the banking capital now employed in
it. Comment is unnecessary. We nave
nothing to say against the agencies that
supplied want we could not supply,
but now that we can offer the assuring
public home company, entitled to their
confidence, let assurants by every motive
of Amor Pat,fae give the Policy-Holders'
Company the support it deserves"
