- The President is not in favor with
Office seekers. y friend Of bis called
upon him the other day and asked for a
certain office. as the place vacant?"
the President asked. 'NO; it's held by
man who was appointed by Hayes :"
"Do you know of any reason for re-
moving liin?' II know Of none except
that l would like tie Office myself :"
before the incumbent sposition expires" !"
said the President. Il have made up my
! mind that all officials shall serve out

| - The N,ms and Courier says: "Trust-
worth, accounts from all sections of the
State concur as to the blighting effect of
the hard freeze of last Friday morning in
| the cotton fields. Tho unusual and pro-
| tractc.l mild weather of the last six weeks
| had allowed Il vigorous growth, cncour-
aging many planters to hope that, with a
fortnight more of moderate weather, the
crop might bc secured, which would in
some measure make up for the serious
| loss occasiUned by the drOuth Of last
| summer, but the sudden change in tho
temperature on Friday has put an end to
these briSh: anticlpatinns even on the sea
| Islands, where the cold WAS least severe.
| The young hollis all present IL scalded mp.
pcarancc, and the Vitality of the plant has
entirely ceased In the interior OF tho
State. likewise, the promise Off crop has
| everywhere been killed, as the frost seems
fn have been general throughout the cot
ton region. 1t is hardly likely thai there
| will he any further addition to the yield
OF this years crop of the State"
= a Columbia correspondent of the
Neus and Courier says AN effort will be
tee to provide for the reopening of the
State University, by applying the surplus
earnings of the State Penitentiary to that
purpose. Three or more professors will
be added to tho corps Of teachers already
in charge of the agricultural college. the
| idea being to enlarge the curriculum and
place the institution on even ground with
similar Universities in other States. An
other proposition of the bill that will be
introduced in the House this week is to
endow the University by appropriating
annually for five years or more SO, 900 TO
bo invested in United States interest
bearing bonds, the interest going to the
support of tho professors. \ sub com
mittee of Ways and Means has been ap-
pointed to examine and report such facts
as Will enaOlc the committee to shape a
proper bill. The friends of the Univer-
sity are very horciul of carrying the
measure tn! Tough and placing the institu-
tion on its feet again.

show OF resistance, and the officers onlv
