Death Of Gen. Connot.

Gen. Common, Of Charleston, died in Rich
n ond, Va on the evening of the 9th ult.
after an illness of three weeks from pncu
monia. lie was born in Charleston on the
lst September 1929, was graduated at the
South Carolina College IN lS49, and was
admitted TO the bar in 1852. Entering the
Confederate service rs Captain Of the NJ ont
gomcry Guards. he left it wNh the rank of
Brigadier General. After 9hc war he re-
Sumed the practice of his profession where
his superior intellect and assiduous study
and application 10 business soon placed him
Mt the head of the bar in this State
In 1876 he was elected Attorney Gcm>
eral, and it was in great mcHsurc due to
his clear judgment, wise counsel and legal
learning and Acumcn that the Democrats
finally succeeded in gaining control Of the
dio,ernmcnt.
In his death the state has lost one Of her
nblest and most honored citizens and the
bar one of its brightest lights. A disting>
oishcd jurist, wise counsellor, n patriotic
citizen, and an upright and conscientious
man, he has passed from tho scenes Of this
life to that "undiacovcrcd country from
whose bourn no trouble ever returns"

In the afternoon there was O contest no.

Their productions bore unmistakablc
evidence Of much research an laborious

especial mention. 1t was II jcm, sparkling
with great and precious truths, elegantly
expressed and imprcssively delivered. The
house rang with applause several times
during its delivery. In speaking thus
warmly of Mr. Plowdcn's effort, we in no
sense mean to disparagc the efforts Of the
other young gentlemen. On the contrury
they deserve the highest cncomiums. Thc

distinguished speaker justice. Suffice il to

anniversary Of the 'picdmont Instituted"
Scarcely year ago the first timbcrs were
put upon the ground to begin its structure,
and now VIC find it an accomplished fact,
with II full corps of competent tcachcrs and
large attendance of students. The good
1t has already accomplished is great; the
good that it will hereafter accomplish, who
can estimate? 1t is situated in this pleas
ant mountain village, within full view of
the "Bluc Ridge" and its grand old peaks
rearing their everlasting heads high up
into pure and hcalthCul atmosphere, and
far removed from the temptations and vices
of larger towns and cities. Pickcns is en-
pha'lc"ly dry county. There is not
grOg shop or drinking saloon in the county.
hence young men liz attending school here
are not subject to that temptation which
has proved more fatal to our youths than
all the other vices combined with a
hcalty climate, productive lands, abundant
timber, supposed incxhaustiblc mineral
resources, thrifty, lospituble and pros
porous people, and the prospect in the near
ing through our limits from the salt waters
of the Atlantic TO the gtcat lakes of the
Northwest, there is nothing to prevent us
