az tho lato meeting Of Prosbytory, at Wall
halia. Adger College was accepted by TINT
body and taken <undor its supervisory oare.
This makes tho institution permanent, unless
from some future unknown aud unexpected
cause failure should follow SUCCESS. Tho
Prosbytory put tho College under the immedi-
a.o control Of tho local Board Of Trustees,
though M equal number Of Trustces was
olootcd by that body. Wo had hoped to get
oopyof tho resolutions end eaGse proceeds
ipgs toach'ds tho institution. but aHod. !!
Tho institution now has fvo professors and
over one hundred students. hnlf Of which
number aro in tho collegiate departments.
Its working is giving general satisfaction and
wo may reasonably hope to SEQ It's influence
aud patronage increase each succeeding year
10 our own pooplo wo would shy thoy arc
enjoying opportunities offered to tho citizens
OF but tlrco or four other counties in this
State, and in fact to but few sections of any
State in tho Union. 10 have a college at

cheap, is q great advantage, aud ono which
should not bo neglected by my one. Educa-
ton comes ncarcr to being the Aladdin's
Lamp of tho age than ail o,hor gifts to your
children. It has tho advantage that it is not
confined to ono person. but opon to all, and
that it cannot bo sold as old tin, but must
remnin with tho posscssor as q lifoslong
friend, companion and supporter. It can
build palaces, opon out the rich aud voried
treasures Of tho earth, enrich our wurp soi,s,
increusc our harscsts. convort bur idls timber
and water powers into SOURCES OF wcal.h and
prosperity, and bring peace and contcntment
to the soul. 1t surpasscs all other treasures
in the scope and character of its usefulness.
1t gives us wise and honest government lust
and humane laws and enlightened and
Christian rulers. 1t builds up churches and
improves the moral character Of tho people
1t trendcrs jails and ponitentinrics poor houses
and asYlums of refuge useless, in diminishing
crime on tho ono hand aud in enabling oven
cripples to earn living on tho other. II
thus economies government and lowors

Let our people everywhere turn their
eyes to our male and female colleges ut Walls

the benefits offered Mt these institutions.

FAIR PLAY LOCALS.

Anumber Of persons will attend the North
Georgia Fais neYt week from this place, who
expect to HAZE a'jolly time.
The farmcrs are carrying their cotton to
Andersen from here, instead Of Seneca City.
as they oan got moro for 1t Mt tho former
place. Seneca will have to do little better
10 the future, ii she desires to get tho cotton
from this quarter.
Sofviccs will bo held hero next Sunday In
Tho Baptist Church, Rev. II. nj. Barton ol1ioi.-
ating. The church will bo completed now in
q day or two. From this time on services
will bo held regularly Oh tho first and third
Sundays of every month.
Tho farmers arc not up with their cotton
yetoana it will probably BIO November before
they will be up with 1t.
Six negroes wore arrested ut Townvilo q
day or two since. and carried to Anderson
for attacking another negro, because he was
Democrat. 1t appears that tho Democrat
negro attended frolic near Townvillo with
his red shirt on, and this So inccnsel somo Of
the negroes that they determined to whip
,hia, or probably to DO mpY than that ay
pistols woro used by them in the attack. A
pistol was thrown at the Democrat negro by
one of tho six, and lie picked it up and fired
on them without effect Tho negro, after
firing, ran off and took refuge from his pur-
suors in Mr.. Gainos' yard. Mr. Gaiucs had
considerable trouble in preventing them from
entering his promises. A warrant wns issued
for tho attacking negroes for causing riot,
and rs aforesaid marched olf to Anderson,
where they will remain, guess, until tho
next torn of tho Court for that county.
Fair Play High School will oren on the
first Monday in November, and it is hoped
that patents will send in their children
promptly.

bushels, aud if estimating will make field

Aahmoud Damad and His sultana.

Aahmoud Damad is still the strong
man keeping the palace. and As there
seems no prospect of . stronger than
he coming, it is quaintly Characteristic
of the East that the eyes Of the Porte
are just now turned in desperation 20 .
stronger woman-his wife
The lady 10 Sultaua, sister by the
SAME father and mother to the Sultan, l.,
and, by the lava of Turkey, Sultans
has peculiar privileges aud rights,
which go far to make up for the wrongs
of the number and, from our point of
view. much oppressed portion OF her
sex. Her husband is, unlike other
Turkish lords of the creation. not
allowed to possess any woman but her.
whetber his wife, concubine or slave.
He cannot enter her harem in his own
house, or, when be has entered, take q
seat in her presence without her per.
mission. The discipline to which be is
subj ec.ed is. in fact. 30 severe that, even
should he find pair of male slippers
outside the hsrem door, he must for
bear the husbands right recognized in
most parts of the world, and immediate.
ly retire without any ill,iudged inquir-
les into their ownership or rais0n Il
etre. it being very properly assumed
that Sultana is at q social and moral
altitude far above all possibility of in
discretion.
The lady in question is said to have
character and temper which fully fit
her to exercise her privileges should
the proper occasion arise, and she is
now believed to resent the influence
exercised over her brother by her hus-
band. The alleged cause Of her resent.
ment. which is Of recent origin. enc
cannot give without violating the sacred
threshold of the harem, but its existence
is no secret. 1t is spoken about as if it
were matter of state, and tho gravest
political calculations are based on the
chance of its duration. The Sultan. is
known to be greatly attached to his
sister, and 1t Is. indeed. through her
that Mahmoud Dsmau gained ascen-
dsncy at the pslace. There would,
therefore. after all, be nothing very
surprising. however quaint from an
English point Of view. If he lost his
power by the same means through
which he acquired 1t; nor would it by
any means be the first time that q
burning question In the harem did for
Turkey what could not be done by the
subtlest counsellors or the weightiest
considerations Of State.
