A Sharper in Fairfield.

Il SHNEpcl Ill GA A0Ao'
"A correspondent Of the Charleston
Ne,cs, writing from Fairfield, gives the fol-
lowing account Of the manner in which seve-
raj planters along the line of the Spartan
burg and Union railroad were recently VIC
timized by sharper, who, they thought,
was paying a fine price for their cotton.
Their experience will doubtless prove warn
ing to others. The correspondent says: We
have lately had some of the arts Of regular
Down-East sharper practiced upon US by a
fellow styling himself Brooks He first made
very liberal offers for all cotton along the
line of the spartanburg and Union Railroad,
and had good many bales delivered at the
different dep6ts. On Saturday, 2lst ult., he
passed down the road, telling the parties Of
whom he had purchased the cotton that he
did not have money enough to pay for it, but
would return on the Monday following to
settle with them, and to save them all trou'
BILE and responsibility they must leave the
cotton in the depot, and allow him to take a
railroad receipt for it, which they unwarily
did. After waiting impatiently for week,
they found, to their great disgust that the
rascal had drawn money on his receipts in
Columbia, and put out for parts unknown.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

"A formal letter of Secretary Boutwell,
announcing himself as candidate for the U
s. Senate, to succeed Mr.. Sumner, from Mass
achusetts, has just been published. The let
ter is addressed by name to several members
of the Legislature, and is direct to the point
expressing perfect willingness to accept the
position.
The Washington Chronicle says it is con
templated by the President to issue an order
about the 4th of March, prohibiting Federal
officers from filling State Offices and interfer
ing oficiously in State elections. The accep
tance of a candidacy for State office, or the
holding of such Office, Especially position
in the Legislature of state,) will be deemed
BY him cause for removal from Federal Of
fee.
1t is twenty-one years since the constitu'
tion of Indiana was adopted. 1t forbids ne
groes or mulattoes to enter the State, and pre-
scribes a punishment for any one who en-
ploys them or gives them any inducement to
remain in the State. Its terms prevent the
passage of any adequate election or reglstra
ton laws, and under its provisions the Judges
ofthe State are becoming the mere creatures
of party. To remedy these evils constitu
tional convention is asked.
One of the first matters to come before
the Senate will be the House resolution averse
to the erasure of mention of battles ofthe late
war from the regimental colors 1t is known
that Mr.. Sumner has spent considerable time
and research in preparing an elaborate ad
dress on the whole subject involved, and al
though he has not intimated to any one what
he shall do, it is extremely probable that he
will not consent to forego the opportunity Of
what he regards as vindication Of his posi-
ton before the country, particularly after the
formal condemnation of his course by the
Legislature of his own State. Mr.. Sumner in
troduced similar resolution in the Senate IN
the year 1862, while the war was raging.
- The next House of Representatives, so fa1
as chosen, is composed as follows: Republi'
cans, 191 Democrats, 94. The full House
will consist of 292 members two.thirds vote
will require 1875 members, and the Republic
cans, by obtaining four of the seven members
from Connecticut and New Hampshire, at
their elections in the spring, will secure it.
There will be seven colored members Walls
of Florida Lynch, Of Mississippi; Rainey
Ransier, Cain and Elliott, of South Carolina,
and Rapier, of Alabama. One democratic
member General Ambrose R. Wright, OF
Georgia, has died since the election.

portion is cultivated, and that small portion
but poorly cultivated.
Another drawback against which we have
to contend is our want of manufactures. 1t
is distressing to think, not only of the incon-
veniences, but of the actual losses, to which
we are subjected on account of this want.
Our soil is full of rich ores our forests
abound with choice timber, and our cotton
clothes the world but nothing is manu-
factured by ourselves. We are poor be-
cause we will not use the means which na-
ture has placed before us to make US rich.
We are dependent because we will not use the
facilities which we possess to make US inde-
pendent. These two things-the sparseness of
population and the want Of manufactures
are sufficient of themselves to keep US as q
comparatively poor people indefinitely.
AS an evidence of the existence of these
and other serious drawbacks, we need only
mention the low price at which land rates all
over the State of South Carolina. There is
not plantation in the State that will not,
provided it is we'll cultivated, pay for itselfin
a few years, and pay the cultivator high wages.
1t is poor acre Of land that will not, if prop
erly cultivated bring one hundred and twen-
ty-fve pounds of lint cotton. Suppose the la
borer gets two-thirds for cultivatiug, and the
owner of the land one-third. At the present
price of cotton this would be nearly nine dol
lars, which we suppose is more than an aver
age price of land in the State 1t is evident
if there was sufficient labor to cultivate all
the land, and manufactures enough to work
up the raw material, the price Of land would
increase. There would be more made, and
more of what is made would remain to en-
rich the State.

"A boiler explosion occurred in the spoke
and handle factory at Charlotte on Tuesday
afternoon of last week, from the effects Of
which four persons who were scalded have
since died, and two others were seriously in
iured. AS is too frequently the case in the
southern States, the engine was in charge OF
a negro who did not understand the proper
management Of it.
In noticing the fact that the first house
ever erected in Charlotte-it having been
built nearly one hundred years ago-has just
been torn down, the Observer says: Only nine
buildings are now standing in Charlotte
which were erected previous to 1925, and
only eight families are now living in the same
houses in which they dwelt in 1910. Out Of
the population which inhabited the town in
1S4O only 36 are now residing there.
john S. Means, Junior, was arrested in
Charlotte on Saturday Of last week, charged
with killing negro named Frank Kerr
The Observer gives the following: particulars
of the affair: "It seems from the evidence in
this case that Mr.. Means and the negro met
on the Beatties' Ford road, about 81 miles
from Charlotte last Tuesday, when they be-
came involved in difficulty, over a gun which
the negro carried, Mr.. Means being on horse
back and the negro in wagon. MIR. Means
attempted to wrench the gun from the negro's
hands, when, after short scufHe, he released
his hold and the negro losing his balance fell
out of the wagon, one Of the wheels passing
over his body. He lived about six hours
after the fall. Mr.. Means then rode on to
town, not knowing that the negro was dead
until he was arrested Saturday, as before
stated. There seems to be no doubt that the
death of the negro was the result of an unfor'
tunate accident, and hence an examination
before Magistrate was not deemed necessa'
ry."

having a common relation and dependence,
yet so independent as to constitute each a
complete course of ITSELF and to enable the
cadet without causing break in the pursuit
of any Of his studies, to leave the school and
enter an institution of higher grade, such as
the State University, the Washington and
Lee University, or the Virginia Military In
stitute. The recent extension of the course,
by the addition of one annual class, raises the
standard of the school considerably, and pre-
sents every facility for obtaining an education
essentially collegiate, while the preparatory
feature remains intact An able instructor
of German will soon be added to the faculty,
which will still further increase the advanta-
ges of the course of study.
The discipline of the school, we believe from
what we know of its workings, to be we'll cal
culated to accomplish the end for which it is
designed, namely, "the development of habits
of neatness, promptness and systematic study"
This last is most important consideration in
every system of education. 1t was once said
by teacher of long experience and distin.
guished talent, that the main object of a
young persons education is, not 30 much to
study as to learn ho,o to study, the actual study
not commencing till he enters upon the active
duties and responsibilities of life. In this
there is much truth, and that plan of instruc-
tion is most desirable which is best calculated
to attain the great object in view. At the
Kings Mountain Military School, the cadet
is constantly taught the advantage and the
necessity of systematic arrangement in all
that is required of him, whether intellectual
labor or the performance Of any other of the
duties imposed upon him. The discipline
though efficient, is by no means severe; the
penalties being rather the deprivation of priv
ileges than the infiction of actual punishment
BY means of monthly reports and similar
expedients, the influence Of parents is happily
brought to the aid Of the teachers authority
the two going far to bring about that esprit
de corps which is so fruitful of good, both to
the institution at large and to the individuals
composing it..
Ofthe faculty we need not say much enough,
that they are all gentlemen of native ability
and high attainments in their respective de-
partments, having made them each a specially
The school is unsurpassed for healthfulness
of location and agreeable surroundings, while
the moral atmosphere is equally good. York
ville is easy of approach from all points in
the State, and the recently established tele'
graph line affords ready communication in all
directions.
We trust that the institution, whose just
merits we have thus attempted to show, will
always command bounteous share of the
public patronage.
