to obtain evidence TO sustain them. His
course has burdened the state with two
laborious and expensive investigations
and in the result of both his chief accu-
sations have been shown to be unfounded.
Meantime the minds of pupils have been
by these efforts disturbed from study and
otherwise affected, and parents have been
filed with anxiety respecting their child
rem. The mischief thus wrought can be
fully appreciated only by those who have
! been in the situation of teachers aud
trustees.
In dealing with the matters presented
il the report of the investigating Board,
this Board have felt it to be their just
duty to guard the moral purity of the
/ children for whose welfare this institution
/ is maintained by the state. They have
/ felt that they had also a duty to guard
/ the reputation Of those who at their call
came to the responsible charge of respon-
sible charge OF guiding the discipline and
/ instruction Of these youths against the
malicious assaults of whoever may appear
/ as a mere wanton and reckless accuser.
They pretend to no infallibility in iudg-
ment, but they sincerely believe the
action they have taken in this case to be
the best possible in the circumstances,
1 for the accomplishment Of both ends, and
! by that action they are content to stand
, or fall. They have taken this action fully
sensible of the responsibility of their
trust and desiring in the sight of God
and man to be faithful to that trust
And now to reassure the confidence OF
the parents and friends Of the deaf, we
state that in the Institution, rules are
and have been IN force to regulate by
careful restrictions the intercourse of all
the members of the Institution so as to
guard against immoralities and to avoid
the very appearance of evil. The prin-
cipal, matrons and teachers are especially
charged to watch continually for these
evils and their diligence in this respect
Will certainly be quickened by the ordeal
to which they have been subjected by
these scandals and investigations.
We can confidently say further, that
we believe that the children sent to this
institution will be brought under inhu-
ences most favorable to their intellectual
: growth and to the development in them
of a pure and noble manhood and wom-
anhood, which shall relieve the calamity
under which they labor and make them
useful and happy members of society
and citizens OF the state.
Recognising the powerful influence of
the public press and believing that much
: which has been printed in the columns
; of our newspapers has proceeded from a
partial apprehension of the real facts, we
do respectfully ask the papers Of our
state generally to give place to this
simple statement of the case as we under
) stand it, not for our vindication, but to
: counteract the evil that must flow from
erroneous,or exaggerated impressions.

From time immemorial it has been
the custom in the southwest of Eng.
land for farmers to throw back shil
ling twenty-five cents on every ten
stacks of wheat and every ten quarters
of barley they sell. The custom is sup
posed to have its origin in the fact that
formerly the dealers met the farmers
at their inns when the market was over
and paid them, when the farmer threw
back shilling for drink. If the Gus
tom We're abolished, it is said that it
would cost the largest brewing firm in
England SIS. 900 a year.

Potato Starch.

One of the important manufactured
products Of the small country towns of
New England and New York state says
the Boston Transcript is potato starch.
1t IS believed that nearly three millions
bushels of potatoes are frequently con-
New Hampshire, Vermont and New
ork in the production of potato starch.
This amount is three-eighths as large
as the total potato crop of Maine, three
fourths as large as that Of New Hamp-
shire, three-ffths as large as that of
Vermont; one-tenth as large as that OF
New York state of about the S, me
magnitude as that of Massachusetts
and much larger than the crops of Con-
necticut or Rhode Island. There are
about two hundred and twenty-five fac
tories engaged in the manufacture OF
potato starch, and probably all Of them,
with one or two exceptions, are located
in the States Of New York, Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont. The aver.
age price paid for potatoes by starch
manufactures during the past season
has been thirty cents per bushel. The
aggregate annual production of all the
factories is usually from six thousand
to eleven thousand tons. A buShel OF
potatoes generally makes eight pounds
of starch, go bushels therefore, being
required for a ton. AS the average
market quotation Of potato starch is
about five cents per pound, it follows
that bushel of potatoes brings only
40 cents after being converted into
starch, and the value of the total pro.
duction OF potato starch in the country
is from $S0O,0O0, to $l.20O.O00 per an
mum.

How Catcher was Caught.


Full tan was he, with sinevyy muscles.
And shoulders broad and full AID square.
with limbs designed for mighty tussles.
And the regular prize-ring crop OF hair;
And ne played. with skill exceedingly fine.

lie Was rich in all Of the manly Rraces-
very Apollo from head 20 heel.
And. though he As good at the stealing Of bases.
He never was base enough, surely, 70 steal.
A foul. indeed. his pulses stirred.
But he never was foul in deed word
As fair wss she the sun uprising.
A blooming maiden. with luscious lips.
Whose dainty completeness was really surprising.
Down TO her rosy fnger-tips.
And she often sat on the stand in the shade.
And saw the games which that catcher played.
And whenever he seized on hot one nicely.
Or caught foul with agility.
She cIapPed her hands. for that was precisely
The sort Of thing she wanted to see;
For mueh did this blooming maiden pine
For the catcher who caught in that Western nine
Wherefore IT vas meet. when the games over.
Thecateher, 20 brave and manly and tall,
Should frequently Play the part Of lover
In game considerably older than ball;
And n an occasional error he made.
Twas simply because with miss he played
For spite Of her love- this maid was addicted
To ways most coqgettish and naughty and sly,
And the nf the diamond-feld was restricted
To take loves favors, as twere on the sly /;
And though she protested at kissing, doubt

How fondly he Ionged to make her his wife,
And she rested her head his manly shoulder
While he eagerly asked woud she give him lifet'
And he hinted with emphasis. leaving no doubt
That should she refuse him, he'd surely strike out.
Twas the umpire Love that gave the decision;
The maiden permitted her lips to be kissed,
And then looking mp with slightly blurred vision,
She blushingly murmured: " Why, yes-Ill assistG'
SO the game to a right happy ending was brought
And thus as it happened the catcher was caught!

A CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR: As the skirmishing has be-
gun fer the fight Tor Senator, and some
long-range guns ut that are anticipated to
belch forth their claims for that position,
we want to find the man who raised, or
helped to raise, the Democracy from its in
fancy after the close of the late war, when
it was almost out Of sight. Now, sir, we
claim that Maj. John B. Moore was in the
number that helped to raise it, as it were,
from the dead. He has never backed out,
as we call it, from meeting those Radical
ring-leaders at any place where he was
called on to meet them. He not only
stumped this County against them, and
condemned their thievishness, but you
will remember that he met them at our
State Capital in the legislative halls, and
there stood firm. When Clay nor Calhoun
could have pleased the County his record
stands firm and his character unspotted.
Now, we claim that we want to work out
your motto, give honor to whom honor is
DUE" and in our judgment there is no man
in Anderson that this honor could be more
justly conferred on than Maj. Moore, and
we hope the Democrats Of Anderson will
unite with us at our primary election and
help to confer this honor OIL him.

sal invitation to all to come, he and his
friends might coma in to man. Then the

supposition is mora plausible or more sup
posable than the other.

without the smell of fire. This is bare

are only two policies that can be pursued by
the Democratic party in the State of South
Carolina. Being in minority, it can re-
tain power by force and intimidation, to be
repeated at each recurring election, or by
conciliation at this most auspicious time

nent. respectfully,

CARsWELL INSTITUTE.

MR.. EDIToR-Please allow me space to
say to the patrons of this Institute and
to all concerned, that, in consequence of
falling health, and by the concurrent ad-
vice of friends and medical counsellors,
I have resolved to- sever my connection
with the Carswell Institute as its Prin-
cipal. I have refused to do 80 until 1t
has become manifestly life and death
matter.
Some may and doubtless wW unkindly
and ungenerously misinterpret my with
drawal. But certui,,, serious, actual failure
of health is the only argument that drives
me to this sad conclusion. To attempt
longer to endure che labor and confine-
ment of this position would be worse
than madness.
However, let no one think that the In
stitute closes its doors. ! am engaged in
encouraging negotiations with an accom-
plished gentleman of the same name to
take my pla,e and carly on the work
without intermiss.on. He was gradua-
ted at Mercer University, and also at
Franklin, State University of Georgia.
So we are hopeful that Carswell 1nsti-
tute, instead of losing, will gain-will
have Carswell at its head and one at its
back. My influence, sympathies, and
prayers shall ever be given most freely
to this cherished institution, for the es-
tablishment of which I have given two
of the best years Of my lifs.
All friends and patrons are called to
rally to its support now in the moment
of its transition to new hands.
have no promise of established health
for some weeks. BY future care and
Gods special blessings, the injuries in
flicted upon my physical man in the past
may be remedied. hope I may have
the prayers of the good and true.
Respectfully,

tive committee, and they then take steps to
secure all early nomination. That the Rad
icals would not nominate, but place inde-
pendent candidates in the field who would
claim to be Democrats, and give these all

votes to elect bat he said they must be
taught that "he who is not for me is against
me.n In. Democrats" communication
many other things were said, all to the
point; and we oil remember what deep
and abiding impression it had upon the
public mind. Township after township
responded to the call of Democrat" and
organized their clubs, and sent up their del
egates, elected County chai rman and an
executive committee, and from this the ball
continued to roll and the State was re-
deemed.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the advice then given
and urged by Democrat" is as valuable to-
day as it was then, and must now, as then,
be adhered to, or defeat must attend our
efforts. The Radicals are not dead, neither
are they asleep, but they are watchful and
wide awake, and il by any chance on earth
they can control the State, they mean to do
it.
The position taken by VIM. D. Evins Is
indeed painful, and if adhered to will, with
out doubt, defeat the Democratic party in
the County at the next election. Let us
inbibe the principles of Democrat again.
and all will be well, and we express desire
to hear from Democrat once more.
