Charleston to-day and witness the celebra-
ton OF the one hundredth anniversary of
the incorporation of the "City by the Sea-"
The NetcS and Courier says: "The day
will be observed with quiet dignity. The
dawn Of the new century will be
ushered in with a salute Of one hundred
guns, whose echoes will awaken many
memories of an heroic past. There viii
be no other Warlike demonstration, The
sword and the spear have long since been
converted into the pillow and the pruning
hook, and at the close of a checkered and
eventful century Charleston is at peace
with all the world, Mighty changes have
been wrought since the landing Of the
first settlers 'On the west bank of the Ash
ley more than two hundred years ago,
and the city which our fathers founded
upon the narrow strip of land between
the Ashley and the Cooper has grown
within a century, in spite Of wars and
sieges, into its present proportions"
Representatives from all parts of the
State are expected to be present. Georgia
will also be represented. Savannah sends
her Turn Verein, and the Augustin DAILY
Comedy Club left yesterday morning, APP
pearing there tonight in a performance
adapted to the occasion,
The Governor Of south Carolina and

ties of the State. In the evening there

Pardoned out of the Penitentiary.


Foreman. a c0}0red girl. convicted Of pass
ing a forged order for goods on Jas. Nc
Grath x Co., Of this city. an account Of
whose pardon by Governor Mcdaniel ap-
reared in Saturdays NEWS, is Of
quite an interesting character. The
cirl Is thirteen years old and was
sent 10 the penitentiary for one year. She
was arrested on the 18th Of June. The
-raud Jury was in session and lmmedl-
afeIv a true bill was found against her.
The next daV she was put on trial and the
court appointed counsel for her. The
Ilwver to whom her case was entrusted
was unable at the time 10 ind the only
witness upon whom the girl relied for her
testimony. The girl insisted that she
was innocent and that another girl had
given her the order and asked her TO go TO
the store and get the goods that II called
for. The LAWYER. however, seemed TO
think that there was no use in worrying
with the matter. and accordingly entered
20 plea Of guilty Tor his client. and the
court imposed a sentence OF year IN the
I4uIttuUary.
Governor a Consultation reporter has learn
a that the child was only on visit 10 Sa-
Nlunah. Her father did not hear Of the
trouble that the girl was in until she had
been put on trial and sentenced TO the
u-uitentiary. Her story was that the
lawyer had entered the plea of guilty for
uer without hercOusent, and she protested
that # she was given a fair trial she
would be able to establish her innocence.
~ soon as tine conviction occurred
the father Of the girl was
notified and began proceedings to
secure her release. As the Judge had
passed sentence and the affair had gone
beyond his jurisdiction, he-was pOwerless
90 undo the work of the court. The only
way out was through the Governor, and
the matter was submitted to him. The
Judge before whom the case was tried
stated 10 the Governor that if he had
known the facts in time he would have
set aside the judgment OF the court and
released the girl. He recommended that
the Governor should use his power in the
case, which was done. and the pardon
of the girl was duly signed and issued.

benefit. 1t is your right and your
most binding duty to send every
one of your children to this school
daily, not when convenient, not
when the weather is fine, not when
it requires no sacrifice. not when
your children have nothing else to
do, but it is your supreme duty TO
send your children to school every

there.
Your children naturally look to

let your children have it to say;
My parents have denied me the priv

Parents sacrifice labor: sacrifice

ion Of that excellent journal the
Green Bay Morning Advocate ofAu-
gust 23d. last: The Anglo Ameri-
can Circus exhibited in Green Bay
on Tuesday afternoon and evening,
the large tents being packed full on
both occasions, which shows that
this city may still hold its reputa-
tion as a "big circus town." Al
though the circus had passed
through 80 storms this season,
which take of a good deaf Of the
glitter, its street parade was good.
The show under the canvass was ex-
cellent in every particular, fully up
to the highest standards. There
was not an inferior act performed.
We saw lone of the rowdyism and
thieyery against which we had been
warned and the show here leaves
none but kindly membranes in
its wake.
Such unmistakable evidence of
hearty appoval leaves no opportuni-

Our neigboring county, Yell,
having sown OF the wind is now be-
ginning to reap the harvest OF the
whirlwind. Unwilling to bide the
ordinary process Of law, In what was
considered aggravated cases, her cit
liens have so often combined to exc
cute punishment according to theil
own opinions regardless OF judge OF
| Jury, that the public mind has be
come partially practlsed to it, and
the disposition once kindled is not
easily forgotten. Nor is it always
directed against crime. The exam
pie once laid and bad men are moi
slow to initiate and take advantage Of
it for their own pleasure and the ad
vancement OF their wicked purposes
The latest demonstration in our
unfortunate neighbor was in the
shape of mob waiting upon Mr.. W.
C. Lyon, a quiet, law abiding and
peacable citizen, and demanding Of
him petition for the prohibition OF
the sale of whisky within three
miles OF Gum Springs Church which
he had worked up, and had ready te
present to the county court. These
men were masked and armed and
were after the petition or blood as
they told Mr.. Lyon. They got the
petition, but If that County Judge II
of the stern staff that county Judges
ought to be made OF, it will avail
them nothing, for under the circum
stances the people embraced 10 the
scope of that petition are entitled tt
this especial protection and we hope
that they may have it. The same
sort of proceeding, we also learn wal
enacted at another point in the coun
ty, where Mr.. johnson, or rathe
his wife, was forced to surrender
like petition at the peril of her life
The Dardanelle Post learns that |

A copy of Poe's Raven with

Of Morrillton. The idea OF pluming

one, but the author went boldly at
his task and exhibits no little tact
and poetic genius. Below we give
specimen verse Of Mr.. Ruffner's
production:

"Enchantress Of my SOUL" cried:
