Our Educational Interests.

1t will be readily, conceded that the impor-
sanee of this town demands greateredneatiopal
facilities shannows exist andsNe are confident
that every friend and wsn-wisher Of Anderson
will5Ereioice to know that ansenterprias is al
ready. inaugurated,.vitha view of establishing
such an institution as will rebound to the cred
it of our community and afford every facility
for the intellectual training of both sexes Ev-
cry year there are thousands of dollars ex-
pended by the citizens of Anderson County,
sustaining and fostering institutions of learn
ing in other localities, that might properly be
kept at home. Our sons and daughters are
sent abroad to gain knowledge Of the higher
branches of education, which can just as easily
be taught in our midst. Besides, there are am
pie buildings, already.erected for that purpose,
to supply the, necessary accommodations for
teaching large number Of pupils. These
buildings are susceptible of division into sew
eral departments, and are admirably adapted
to amy number Of classes Under these circum-
stances, it is proposed to establish High
School for the education Of both sexes, thus re-
turning to the plan in vogue until recent years,
and which is being reinstated with great sue
cess in many portions Of Europe and America
Indeed, the co-education of the sexes is q theme
now agitatiug the friends of education every
where, and is ardently supported BY many
eminent teachers, who have given the subject
careful attention and illustrated its advantages
by practical experience. At another time we
will indicate the claims of this system more
fully, as founded upon the experience and OBJ
servasion of competent judges, and for the
present would simply invite the attention OF
our readers to the proposed scheme lead
ing points Of which are contained in 9 COM
munication elsewhere.in this issue. The High
School is to be opened early in January next,
and will be under the general charge Of w. ].
Ligon, Esq, and Rev. D. E. Frierson, who will
be assisted by full corps of male and female
instructors. The gentleman named are thor
oughly conversant with the duties before them,
and enjoy the respect and confidence of the en-.
tire community. These are ample guarantees
that the enterprise must succeed under: their
direction and guidance, But we anticipate the
active and cordial cooperation of every citizen
interested in the cause of educational progress
in our midst, which will place she institution
beyond peradventure ind cause It to rank
among the foremost OF the land.

1t is expected that the second inaugura.

1t is expected that the second inaugura-
ton of General Grant will be made the occa-
sion of grand review in the City of Washing
ton of representatives of the uniformed militia
of all the States The Fifth Maryland regiment
of Baltimore, two companies from Richmond,
six regiments from New York, and several
Pennsylvania companies, are among the militia
ry which wiHbe present, but iti expected that
not only the Atlantic cost, but the West, and
even the Pacific slope, will have military COM
panies on the ground at the grand review on
that occasion.
- The Indiana News says it has been said a
number of times that MIR. Greeley is the worst
beaten candidate who ever ran fof the Presiden-
cy. This is mistake. Several candidates
have received fewer electoral votes than he, will
obtain. In 1882 Henry Clay only had 80 e1ec-
toral votes. In 1910, Martin Van Barea, run
ming for reelection as President, had but so
votes. In 1852 General Winfield Scott had AZ
and in 1868 Hofatio Seymour had 80.
- It.turns out that there was no evidences
against the wife and daughter of Rev. DR.. j.
Brinton Smith, who was poisoned in Raleigh
some time since and Judge Watts discharged
the prisoners from custody. In the examina-
tion it was proven that there could have been
no motive for the ladies to commit the deed, as
the Dr. was shown to have been uniformly kind
and affectionate. There was great rejoicing in
the court room at the release.
- The cotton mills of the South consumed
last year 10000 bales of cotton. In 1870,
81 900, and in 1869 to $4,000 bales. These
figures show unmistakably that the cotton
manufacturing interest of the South is rapidly
recovering from the evil effects of the war, not
withstanding the blightiDg influence of Federal
interference with local affairs.

For the anderson lnteligencer..
The Carolina High School," for Males
and Females, at Anderson,

Satisfied BY thorough investigation and de-
liberation that the co-education of the sexes. as
generally practiced in the earlier history ofthe
country, and'recently returned TO by many Of
the institutions of learning, both in Europe
and America, and particularly by those in the
great State of Missouri, is founded in the high
est wisdom and soundest policy, arrangements
have been made for opening such an institu-
ton in the town of Anderson early in January
next, to be entitled the Carolina High School, y
1t will be under the immediate charge of W.
J. Ligon, Esq, and the Rev. D. E. Frierson,
assisted by full corps Of accomplished in
structors in all the departments of liberal
education, as furnished by the best male and
female schools in the country. These instruc-
tors have been and will be selected with ex-
elusive reference to their qualifications, and
will consist of both males and females. The
curriculum will be arranged on the University
plan, so that students of all grades, from those
commencing with their letters to those who
wish to pursue the highest studies in language,
literature and art, including the modern Ian
euages, vocal and instrumental music, and
other Accomplishments, may be placed under
suitable instructors, and pursue such course of
study as they may fancy, OF have peculiar tai
ent for, leading to scholarship and graduation in
particular schools, or in the entire course of the
institution, as they may desire. - %
The modes of instruction, government and
discipline will be arranged on the most approved
plans,g and the school, in all its appointments,
conducted with reference to the intellectual
training and moral improvement of the stu
dents, having due regard to simplicity and
economy in all its details. Boarding in the
institution, and at private and public boarding
houses, will be arranged for large number Of
students, and at reasonable rates. In word,
it is designed that the institution shall be per-
manent, and the details of its organization will
be so arranged that its usefulness and popular.
ity shall be recognized throughout the country,
if the ability of its instructors the superiority
of the education It affords and the propriety
and economy of its appointments can avail to
that end. A circular will appear at an early
dsy, naming the various instructors engaged,
the course of study, rates of tuition and board
ing, and other information as TO the organiza-
ton of this new institution.
In the meantime, with Mr.. W.. J. Ligon and
Rev. Mr.. Frierson at its head, all who know
them will be satisfied that the school will be OF
a superior character, and parents and guardians
should prepare to send their children and wards
brothers and sisters-to Anderson early In
January next.

Fatal Accident.

A colored man named Berry Vandiver was
accidentally killed on Tuesday last, under the
following circumstances: He was coming to
town with load of cotton, driving pair OF
mules, and on descending tho hill near Mr. +.
w. Browns residence, on McDufae street, the
wagon tongue became detached and threw the
wagon forward upon the mules, causing them
to run, and throwing him to the ground. He
was caught by one, of the wheels, which
passed over his neck and broke it. A jury Of
inquest was summoned by George w. Ham
mond, Esq, Trial Justice and acting Coroner,
which rendered verdict in accordance with
the above facts We understand that vandi-
yer bore good character, and was an indus
trious, orderly citizen.

More DWELLINGS Needed.

Among the prime necessities of this town, we
are disposed to rank as first in Importance the
need of additional dwelling houses, to meet the
growing demand for that species of property.
Some of our monied men have lately invested
capital in houses of a different kind that would
surely bring greater profits in dwelling-houses.
1t has become constant cry that there are no
residences 10 rent in this goodly town of An
derson, and there are several families waiting
for an opportunity to come here, but are de-
barred from coming only that they cannot find
suitable residences. It is now proposed to es-
tablish school of high order, and upon o per-
manent basis, which win doubtless attract fam
lilies here for the. purpose of educating their
children, and these persons will not want to
purchase property, as shey only propose to
remain few years at farthest. As a general
rifle, they are most, desirable tenants, having
the means to pay the rental promptly, and
should be encouraged by property:holders. The
kind Of dwellings needed, in our judgments
does not require great outlay of capital to
furnish, nor is there any necessity for large
plass of ground to be attached. Neat, comfor-
table and substantial buildings, on compare
lively small lots, would rent most readily at
all times, and materially assist towards attrac-
ting strangers of every avocation to our town.
We are constantly receiving applications from
persons desiring to rent dwellings, which has
induced us to bring this matter 70 the attention
of those owning real estate, and who are pos
sessed of the means requisite TO engage in
building. We cannot expect the town to thrive
and prosper, unless the. owners Of real estate
bold out sufficient inducements to attract addi-
sionaf population, which is wealth itself in this
progressive country.

North Carolina Ahead.

An exchange from North Carolina furnishes
a number of instances. showing the prolific
growth of various crops in that State. One
planter in Nash County made rs bales of cot
ton on 75 acres; another raised $50 bushels of
corn on eight acres still another in Yadkin
raised pumpkin weighing 90 pounds; while
still another individual raises Chinese cucum-
bers, measuring feet inches long, and IL
inches in circumference. Of course, these in
stances are exceptional, but they prove much
in favor of the Old North State, which is des-
tined to grow in importance and value as her
productive lands are brought under improved
culture.

EIection of Town Marshal.


We are informed that the Town Council has
elected Mr.. VIM. G. Clark TO the Office Of Town
Marshal, and that he has qualified and entered
upon the discharge of his duties. 1t is pro-
posed, we believe, to uniform the Marshal and
his assistants, and to equip them with side
arms. They ara required to be on duty from 8
o'clock in the morning until O'clock at night.
The retirement of Mr.. Newton Scott from
the position of Chief. Marshal, which he has
held for the last six years. is occasioned by
reason of his bad health. Mr.. Scott has dis
charged the onerous and delicate trust with
fidelity, to the satisfaction of successive Town
Councils, and with regard 70 the peace and
good order of society. Until recently, the po-
lice regulations have been enforced with pru-
deuce and discretion, but the failing health
of the Chief Marshal has doubtless produced
laxity in discipline, and as q consequence or
der has not been observed and the good name
of the town has materially suffered. The citi-
zens of the town have right to expect better
order, and we believe that the Town Council ia
determined TO maintain it in the future. The
following resolution was adopted by the Coun-
Gil at its meeting on last Friday night, and Or
dered to be published, viz: ..p-4.
Resolued. That the thanks of the Council are
hereby rendered to Mr.. Newton Scott for the
able and efficient manner in.which be has 80
long discharged the duties Of Chief Marshal, and
Council regrets that the state of his health
prevents the town from securing his valuaSle
services 40 d.,

The CoTToN PRosPECTs.-The November
report of the Statistician of the Department OF
Agriculture gives to the cotton prospects sub
stnntially the same Interpretation as the OctO-
ber statement. The weather has been fine for
picking. Frosts have been earlier than usual
In the more Northern States, but an earlier
maturity of the plant Is indicated, and the past
month has been quite favorable for the devel-
opment of the maturing bolls. ~
While the returns of the condition since Au-
gust have been much below an average, they
have been higher than those of the correspond
ing months of the previous year and very
unfavorable season, averaging in October 81
against 76, and in September 81 against 80.
The November returns give the indicated
total product in comparison with the small
crop Of 1871, and the average made is about l6
per cent. increase, with an area in cultivation
larger by IL to Is per cent. ~:
The greatest losses from the prevalence OF
the army and boil worm are found in Florida
and Alabama. In Louisiana, Mississippi and
Georgia local damage has also been heavy. In
Arkansas reduction of the yield was caused
by drought in July and August.
The comparison by States with last years
crop is as follows: North Carolina, III; South
Carolina, l24; Georgia, 119; Florida, 102
Alabama, III; Mississippi, liz; Louisiana,
12l; Texas, 126; Arkansas, 105, Tennessee,
ITO. Missouri, Virginia, Illinois and other
States, which, together, produced $1,000 bales
in 1860, in which cotton culture was stimulated
in several subsequent years, now scarcely yield
10 per cent. of that amount. -;
The total production, as indicated by the re-
turns of the first week in November, is made
nearly 3,450,0O0 commercial bales. At that
date apparently 25 to 80 per cent of the crop,
or nearly 100000 bales, remained to be picked
and subject To the vicissitudes of the weather
which might decrease the final aggregate by
beating storms, or slightly enlarge it by a fa-
vorable season for opening and gathering the
fibre of the top crop.

1t is stated that strong combination has
been formed in Washington to force the French
spoliation claims through Congress at its ap-
preaching session. These claims have been
pending for over thirty years, but the only two
bills that ever passed authorizing their pay
ment were vetoed-one by Polk and the other
by Pierce. 1t is not unlikely now, however,
that both Congress and the President can be
persuaded to appropriate a million or two for
the purpose, provided there is division and
silence"
