CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.

The closing exercises of the Carolina Col
legiate Institute will tako place in the Insti-
tute Chapel on the evenings of 18th, 18th
and 18th inst.
The evening of the 18th will be devoted to
the reading of original compositions by the
young ladies and defamation by the young
men.
On the evenings of 18th and 14th will be
presented series of elegant plays, both in
English and German, selected with view
to the amusement and entertainment of the
audience.
A small entrance fee of fifty cents for
adults and twenty-five cents for children
under twelve years of age will be charged
on the last two evenings, the proceeds of
which will go to furnish the Institute with
such school furniture, apparatus and FIX
lures as are much needed, and would
greatly facilitate the acquisition of liberal
education. We feel that our citizens, if
they will take proper view of this matter,
will not regard it as any unjustiiable inova-
ton upon the time. e.honored custom of max
ing such exhibitions free; but as laudable
effort to turn the time and labor expended
in getting up these entertainments to the
accomplishment of some good, as has been
indicated above. We hope therefore that
you will not be loath to lend your generous
aid by your constant and prompt attend
ance

THE BARKsDALE HOMICIDE.

In our last issue we published the testi-
mony of Mrs. Gray before the Trial Justices
upon application for bail in this case. Since
that time the testimony taken before the in
quest has arrived, and we deem it but just
to publish the testimony of a little son of
the deceased, which would go to justify his
father in going to the house of Mr.. Gray,
where he was killed. We wish simply to
present the facts of this case to the public
without any comment, as anything which
can be seid about it is at best simply
speculation. The deposition spoken of is
as follows:
Ludy Barksdale being sworn, saith that
Beauregard Gray told him on yesterday
evening to tell his father when he came that
his mother wished him to come over to her
house. told father what Beauregard said
I told father when he. came home; he Lit 8
lamp and started. I heard hallooing in the
direction of Mr.. Gray's; I took the gun and
went down to the fence; heard no more
and went back, and did not know pa was
killed till about day.

To The Editors of the Mtenigenccr .

To the Editors Of the hnteuigencer:
There have been various rumors. put in
circulation throughout this County against
me by. designing men, in the hope of de-
terring good men from supporting me.
Therefore, to refute these malicious and un-
truthful ISLANDERS, I desire to declare my
principles to the Democrats of this County,
and let them Judge whether or not / am the
man to fill the Sheriff's Office:
/. propose to stand by and support the
nomination of the Democratic party in this
County, whether I am successful, or some
one else is; and he who pretcnds to be a
Democrat and would do otherwise is but
"a wolf in sleeps clothing" and more
dangerous enemy to the Democratic party
than the most influential Radical.
2. have never affiliated with the Radical
party in any way whatever; and although
there is no probability of my receiving their
nomination, still should Indignantly re-
fuse to run on their ticket were they to
nominate me.
8. ask only fair and square vote at the
primaries, not only for my own interest,
but for the interest of our party, so that all
may be satisfied, and the voice of the peo.
pie obeyed; and to this end I suggested and
strongly advocated the reorganization OF
the Democracy before a single Club was
formed, and the Editors of this paper will
bear me out in this among others.
4 He who says or insinuates that am,
or ever have been, Republican, utters a
malicious falsehood, wilfully and knowing
ly, and I here brand him as such, and ap-
peal to those who have always known me
and my record to bear me out.

An Important Cure by DR.. TUFTS E1.
pectOrant.

We have been informed by Mrs. Williams,
granddaughter of Gen. Israel Putnam, that
accompanied acc wi with great difficulty of breath,
ing. Indeed, she says, it prevented her
from lying in a recumbent position, and
often suffocation appeared inevitable, for
which she used TuTT's ExPECToRANT. The
relief was so great that she was encouraged
to persevere in its use until every vestige of
the painful disease was entirely removed.
"We can not speak too highly Of this val
liable preparation of DR.. Tut, and for the
sake of suffering humanity hope that it may
become more generally known. ."-Christia''

we are requested TO announce CnaG lue
Democratic Club Of Savannah Township
will meet as usual on the second Saturday
in July, at its accustomed place, at 2 o'clock
p. m. In consequence of the recent fteshet
and the trouble and busy labor imposed
upon the farmers by it, the contemplated
basket dinner will be dispensed with. All
the members of the Club and the citizens of
the neighborhood are requested to be
present.
Mr.. D. S. Maxwell is, as far as We have
learned, the champion of the County in
raising Irish potatoes. He gathered about
forty bushels on the first Of July from a
patch of one-eighth of an acre. He is pre-
pairing to re-plant the same patch and raise
second crop this season. With yield in
any reasonable approximation to the first
crop, the profits from potato culture will be
very much greater than from any other
crop.
We had the pleasure of seeing flower of
the night-blooming cereus at the residence
of Mr.. D. s. Maxwell on last Thursday night.
It is beautiful flower of the genus cactae,
which blooms only in the night, and to be
seen at its prattiest stage must be set up with
until after II o'clock. The plant is a rare
one, and .squires much care and attention
during portion of the year. The one of
which we speak is very fine, and blooms
every year, having three blooms upon it this
season, two ofwhich have already opened.
The public appreciate the polite invitations
so generally extended to witness the bloom
ing. A large number of gentlemen and
ladies went at various hours of the evening
to see this nocturnal beauty.
We had the pleasure of attending very
charming private entertainment, consisting
of charades, dialogues and songs, last Mon
day evening, given at Mr.. s. Bleckley's, by
a few of the young people. all of whom
acquitted themselves admirably, showing
very decided dramatic talent. We must not
omit to mention fourth of July Grafton
lIOlu oul Seinu HoSIj "hAeh "o' 'SAs
pleasant and amusing addition to the per-
formance. The grounds were brightly illu-
minated, furnishing delightful promenade,
of which the young people availed them
selves, making it resound with their merry
talk and laughter, so that the time for good
night and departure arrived altogether too
soon.
The Anderson Democratic Club will meet
in Masonic Hall on next Friday evening at
o'clock p. m. 1t is to be hoped that every
citizen of the town will be present, as busi-
ness of Importance will be presented for the
consideration of the meeting. 1t is also
probable that Capt. Hoyt will be present,
and can give an interesting account of the
st. Louis Convention. The meeting should
also take steps to procure large mass meet
ing of the citizens of the County at some
convenient time, to ratify the nomination Of
Tilden and Hendricks; not because it will
do the national ticket any good, for it does
not depend upon our assistance, but because
it will be beneficial to US in our County and
State canvasses.

The Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company has, for the last week, been deliv-
ering freights to this point by wagons from
the break in the road at Broadway trestle.
Where the freights were received before the
break they have been delivered without ad-
ditional charge to the consignees, but the
wagon charge of fifteen cents per hundred
pounds will be added to the regular rates on
all goods shipped to this point before the
road is in running order again.
On last Saturday, the LIST of July, the first
cotton blooms of the season were sent US.
In the morning Willis Redmond, colored,
sent a white bloom, taken from his field,
and in the afternoon Joseph Lee, colored,
brought us red bloom from his field, on
Senator Cochran's farm near town. This
nuts Joe ahead on the bloom question, SO far
as we have heard in this County. We are
clad to see commendable interest i'll agri-
cultural industry displayed by some of our
colored citizens, and hope that their ex-
ample will be followed by more of their
race.

AMERICAN MEAT N EUEoPE.-America

maJuriual beef steaks. The animals aye
killed about two days before the steamer sails,
aud eaten across The water about two weeks
after being killed. The business Of trans
porting meats across the Atlantic has grown
to such large proportions that several trans
atlantic steamers. it j. reported, viii soon get
III special apara'us for the purpose, There
are different methods of preserving meat on
their voyages, cue Of which Is to keep the
meat in a dry armofphere, at temperature
Of from - 10 So degrees Fahrenheit. The
temperature Of the chamber in which the
meat j. stored is maiu;aiued at this point by
evapora'ing and recondensinE methyia'ed

s,racts from it all moisture. Meat may be
preservsd in a fresh state for almost any Pc
riod bv this method. Another wsy Of ex-
porting meat is to take the cattle alive This
has been done now for three years, the first

fzes the amour, at sl,O00,C00,00G.
The basis Of this estimate is this:
The whole amount Of the United

numbers. Si.7G00G0,090. OF this
amount 1865, ,5OO,O 900 Is held by the
United States Treasury as security
