CoLoRED CoyCREssAEN.-Republi-
can papers have been shriektng them
selves hoarse over the fact that there
are no negro representatives m Con-
gress from the South. Neither are
there any from the North. New York
Republicans could have sent half doz-
en- negroes 70 Congress, If they had
chosen; Pennsylvania could have sent
dozen, and Massachusetts, could have
been represented by negroes solely az
Washington, if she had desired il. But
while they are demanding that The
South should send negroes 10 Congress.
they are very careful not to send any
themselves. In point of fact the coun.
try has yet to hear Of the FIRST instance
where negro has been elected 10 any
Office, great or small, in the North; and
il cannot be forgotten that a few months
ago white men in New Yofl4 State re-
fused TO serve on the same jury with
negroes. In view Of these fscts, IL
would be IN better taste for Northern Jour
nails TO say nothing more on this sub
jeci.

A CHAPTER or FERsT THlnGs.--The
first schooner launched in this country
was built at Cape Ann in 17I4.
The first lime made IN New England
was burned in Newbufry, Mass, By
James Noyes.
The first cotton factory in the United
States was established al Beverly, Mass,
1857. II continued in operation until
1902, and then stopped. ninety pei
cent. of the capital having been sunk in
the enterprise.
The first cast-iron edifice erected in
America was upon the corner Of Centre
and Duane streets, New York.
Samuel F. b. Morse, Of telegraphic
fame, studied painting IN England, and
was the first person 10 deliver course
Of public lectures upon Art in America.
The first successful experiment oi
burning anthracite coal in an open crate
was by Judge Jesse Fell, Of Pennsyl-
vania, February II, 1903.
The tulip was first introduced into
Europe by the celebrated botanist. Con-
rad Gesner, about the year 1859. It's
beauty soon made il so much Of IA
vorite, and there was 50 great desire
to possess it, that what Is still known
as the tulip mania" sprang up ia Hol-
land. One plant was regard edss max
ing its possessor rich, and WIS often
given as ! Enunifcenl lns7f b. fiS,ss
to the BRIDE. More than lup thousand
dollars were given for single plant-a
great sum in that country and in those
days.
InHammable gas was first evolved
from coal IN 1876 to 1899. A use OF
the gas was first attempted at Cornwall
in 1872. The first display of gas-lights
was made at Boulton s Watt foundry,
at Birmingham, on the occasion of re-
joicIngs for peace in England in 1902.
Gas was permanently used at the cot
ton mills in Manchester, where one
thousand burners were lighted in 1905.
Gas-light was FIRST introduced m Lon
don, August IS, 1907. Pail Mall was
lighted in 1909: London generally in
1914. Gas was first introduced at Bal
timore in 1921; at New York in 1923.
The first locomotives n the United
States, says the Journal Of tie Erankkin
Institute, were brought over from Eng
land by Horatio Allen, OF New York.
in the fall OF 1929 or the spring oi 1880,
and one OF them was set up on the Del
aware and Hudson Railroad. at Carbon
dale, Pa, but, being found too heavy
for the track. It's use was abandoned.
The FIRST locomotive constructed in this
country was built BY The West Point
Foundry, at New York il 1880, for the
South Carolina Railroad, and named
the Phenix. A second engine was
built the same year BY the same estab-
lishment for the same road and named
the West Point. In The spring 81 1891
. third engine was built 81 he same es-
lishment for the Mohawk and Hudson
Railroad, from Albany e Schenectady,
and called the De Witt C|int0n. This

Educational.

Maj. Hugh S. Thompson, State Supcrin. .
tendent of Education, was in town last week.
Maj. Thompson was prepared to deliver an
address, but majority of teachers and our
citizens generally failed to put in an appear
ancc. We arc unable to give satisfactory
reason for this, and can only account for it by
supposing that notice failed to reach thcm.
The people of Oconeo arc greatly interested
in the cause Of education and their failure to
be represented on Friday last was not occa,
stoned by any Indifference in reference to SO
important matter.
Maj Thompson is q teacher, and is devoted
to tho important work Of fully administering
the present law on the subject of free schools,
lilo fully recognizes the difficulties in the way.
but is untiring in his efforts to administer
and improve the system rs he finds it. In
this good work he should have tho sympathy
and assistance Of the good people of tho State.
Mai. Thompson has been unsc!fish in the
discharge of tho duties of his Office, and We
should be pleased to SEQ him re. elected in
1880.

Senator Gutlor Interviewed
AGAIN.

A correspondent of tho Charleston Ncws
and Courier has interviewed Senator Butler
on the issues of the day. We give :his week
that portion Of tho interview relating to the
ccntralizing views OF the Republican, party.
Senator Butlcr thinks that the Democrats
have lost nothing by the extra session, but on
the contrary they arc in better position to
open the campaign than they possibly could
otherwise have been. But to the interview:
EDGErIELD, August G.-According to in,
structions have interviewed Senator NJ. @.
Butler, aud have succeeded in obtaining his
views on some Of the more important subjects
now before tho country. l called on him at
his residence, and after tho usual exchange
of courtescs stated tho purpolt of my visit,
and, with a. little preliminary skirmishine,
the interview proceeded as follows:
after the smoke of battle has cleared
away, what is your opinion Of the result Of
tho political conflict ut the extra session Of
Congrcss?"
ut is about what supposed it would be
when the controversy opened. The Radicnls
sounded their gongs. raised great hue and
cry, and frightened the timid throughout tho
country; but, rs it progressed, tho Democrats
gained on their adscrsarics and ended in q
substantial victory. The Radicals have for
some years, concealed their real principles
under attacks upon the South and this great
debate has compelled them to throw off tho
mask and show their disregard for tho Con,
stitutionnl limitations which attach to our
Republic, distinguishing it from any other
that has cvcr existed, and boldly ayow their
purposes to make tho Government what thoy
choose to cali II strong Government which
in reality means nothing less than o consoli :
dated Empire built upon the destruction of
the States. Of course tho leaders deny llay-
ing any such purpose, but it is tho inevitable
logic of thoir position. They cannot escape
it. and tho Democrats ought not to allow
them to escape it,"
DO you think that that will bc tho issue
in the next Presidential campnisG?v
"Unqucstionably it ought to be- for if tho
Radical party succeed in ESTABLISHING tho

Fire.

The alarm of fire was sounded on Sunday
afternoon, during the lecture of Dr. Jones in thc
Methodist Church. Tho ten pin alley of Mr..
D. Biemann was found to be on fire, This
building and barn md COW stables, together
with some other small buildings on the opposite
sidc Of tho street, were consumed Tho loss is
considerable. Matches and small boy were
the cause of the fire. as on all formcr occn.
s'ons' our citizens turned out and put forth all
their efforts to save the property Of their friends
ana no'ghbors. The fire company, too, did
noo'e and efficient work OIL this occasion.
Without tho aid of The fire company there is no
telling where the fire would have gone. Mr..

ST.. JonN's, N. Is, August III. Tho
Moniteur Acdaien gives the following par
tioulars of tho recent disastrous storm at
Buctouche. Tho tornado first manifested
itself at Rock Cove, two miles above ST.
Mays Church, whero it took tho form 6f a.,
water spout and then moved slowly East
ward, tearing swath through the forests
and scattering barns and farmhouses over
fields, until with terrible violence it struck
Buctouchc, lifting two arches bodily from
tho largo bridge South of the channel, ,,and
dropping them in ruins a hundred yards
away. 1t then swept upon tho town, rais-i
ing houses thirty feet in tho air and dash-
ing them to pieces, carrying away tho
steoples of churches, everything movable
aud leaving the Presbyterian Church mass
of ruins. Three persons were killed and
fourteen badly injured. Tho number of
houses destroyed is moro than eighty, and
the damage will amount to fully o hundred
thousand dollars. 49,,

danger that seems to bo dreaded is shedding.

that fear was expressed at tho end3of July or

Wo cannot afford to question this statements,
because wo know nothing Of the facts. AS to
the crop prospect Of this section, however,
the statement as published is not 10 accord.

are not at all 1atering.
