The Nescs and Courier explains
in the following words why it calls
the Independents of this State "Fid.
dlers":
On the South Carolina coast the
beach swarns with something much
like large bugs which are called
"Fiddlers." The legs of the Gid
dlers" are so arranged that they
can move sidewise, backwards or
forwards, without changing the po-
sition of the body. That the Inde
pendents are "all things to all
men, when it comes to politics is
probably why they are called Fid
dlers in South Carolina.
The manner in which the Inde-
pendent State Convention was held,
suggests that the name is appro-
pirate for another reason. When
one draws nigh to the "Fiddlers"
they quickly creep into their little
holes in the beach. An honest
scrutiny is exceedingly distasteful
to the "Fiddlers," as we'll as to the
Fiddlers.

ORR SCHOOLS.

While we are devoting so much
of our time TO politics, our schools
deserve more than a passing notice.
Newberry College will resume e1.
ercises on the 1st of October, with
fair prospects of a successful year
This Institution, judged by the
work it has done, is entitled to the
support Of our own community, and
lays just claim to favorable consid,
Grafton abroad, especially amongLu-
therans-for, however often we
may repeat the truth, that the Col
lege is not denominational in the
sense that it teaches or insists upon,
the doctrines Of the Lutheran
Church, it must receive it's princi-
pal support from that denomina-
ton which is responsible for its ez
istence. The Boys School, in which
the people of our town are espe-
eially interested, viii be taught By
q gentleman of ten years expert
ence as teacher. who was former
II principal of the Preparatory De.
partment of Pennsylvania College,
once of the best schools in the coun-
try. Under his care this school is
confidently expected to be more ef,
fcient and, therefore, more salts
factory than it has heretofore been,
It viii offer first class advantages
to boys who are preparing for any
Of our colleges,
The Female Seminary has en-
tered upon another scholastic year.
The building has been enlarged
and rendered more commodious,
the corps of teachers is full, and al
together the advantages enjoyed by
it's pupils are not inferior to those
offered by many Female Colleges.
The Principal, who is an accom-
plished teacher, has won che conf
dence of this community, and those
girls in our county who wish to at
tend a good school should not lock
beyond this institution merely be-
cause il does not style itself "Col-
lege."
The Prosperity High School is
again under way, and thenew Prin-
cipal finds the outlook encouraging.
While the school is only few years
old. it is almost indispensable to
that part Of our county, and the
people of Prosperity are justly
proud of it. The trustees have nl-
ways made it a point to employ good
teachers, and the school draws its
support from the most Independent
section of the county. There is no
reason why our boys and girls
should go a great distance, at great
expense, to obtain an education.

PROSPERITY JOTTINGS.
The News Regardless Of ExpenSe-candidatcs
Resting-one Of the Disgruntlsd-only
Chills-Cotton shrunk-oue Bag and
the LeInor-No Candy, No Cheese.

You want the. news from Pros
PERRY do you? Well, you shall
have it. regardless Of expense. /
step over to one of our stores and
buy q one dozen pencils for 10
cents, good ones at that, and quire
of 1O,'cent note paper, for which we
pay 90 cents and poor quality it is
"a nickel piece Of good strong TO-
bacco, and we are ready for bust
ness.
But you see, it is kinder between
seasons, and needn't call out to the
printer to reserve more than one
page for the Prosperity news this
week. We are not having any
May parties or Strawberry festivals,
nor any more barbccues, and the
crop Of. candidates has been so
much thinned out that there is g.
very poor stand left, and they are
SO badly spawned and wind gauld-
ed that they don't amount to much;
and as for the poor devils, that got
left, it will be a kindness to let
them rest. One of them, who had
been very polite and attentive to
me, passed me at work in my field,
the other day, and when ! spoke to
him he grunted and rode on-poor
man.
So also, it is too early for Pos
sum suppers, Thanksgivin' dinners,
Christmas trees, &c, end since |
come to think Of it, there is moth.
ing going on of an interesting
character except chills.
There is the general hustle Incl:
dent to the receiving and opening
up Of new goods in small cities.
The cotton crop suffered fearfully
for two weeks before the rain. It
would, be safe to estimate the
shrinkage at one-fourth. >.--sc'
The farmers sre-haic 6aie, lookin

; sees his Lienor sauntering toward
, his wagon; then he begins to gro,
beautifully less, until he is abou
the size Of your fist. When b
comes out the stifeningis all out o
him, he looks like a collapsed ba
loon-and he goes home with his hear
in his mouth, because he hasn't the
pound of candy that he promised
his children to help pick the cotton
nor has he the piece of cheese, with
which he expected to surprise his
wife. The debt is not all paid yet,
and 5 yards of bagging and 6 cot.
ton ties for another bale, is all he
carries back, except his sore heart.
Why will people 60 in debt /?

The Abbeville Medium says that

The Abbeville Medium says that
the Eord tree. s,.j;sttsak in shat s6is STATE
supported in whole or in part by
the public funds shall be free and
open, is redundant; and he shows
conclusively that the Legislature has
not construed it as meaning that
tuition must be free in the State
University. We knew that the leg.
islature had not so construed it,
when We gave our construction.
We might dispute about the mat.

preme Court, but we have no par
ticular interest in it and do not
feel so inclined. The Med:um

It is admitted on all sides that
Conkling has clean record. His
reason for refusing to speak in be-
half of the Republican nominees is
a stinging rebuke to Blaine. He
says that, as he is not engaged IN the
criminal practice, he cannot take the
stump in defense of Blaine. It is
not likely that Blaine looks upon
Conkling as a civil lawyer.
