X. NJ. MILITARY SCHOOL.

The above institution will be opened on the
18th of September, with full faculty, of which
Capt. J. C. Lynes will be Associate Principal,
and Lieut.. Sidney B. Williamson, graduate of
the Virginia Military Institute, instructor of
ancient languages and belles-lettres. Capt.
Lynes is we'll known in this section, by his
former connection with the Carolina Military
Institute at Charlotte. For some time past,
however, he has been teaching at Rome, Geor-
gia, and noting his new engagement, the Courier,
of that city, says:
The large cut of Kings Mountain Military
School, printed in this mornings paper, would
ordinarily suffice in calling attention to this
school Of learning in sister State, but as our
Prof. Lynes is now one Of the Principals, it de-
serves more than passing notice. This school
has been in successful operation since 1S55--al-
most thirty years-and was established by the ell
der Principal, COL A. Coward who is considered
by South Carolinians as one of the best and most
systematical educators within the limits OF the
State, and this is proven by their having elected
him State Superintendent Of Education. His
Carolinas' and Georgias most successful clt1-
zens received their training at Kings Mountain
Military School, and it stands to-day on high
grade Of excellence, and with better facilities
than ever, to guide the youth of our land to
success and fame Capt Lynes is too well
known in our midst to need word Of commen-
dation at our hands, but we will say to those in
whose midst he now goes, that COL Coward
could not possibly have secured more valua-
more genial and pleasant tutor, Yorkville bet
ter citizen, the State gentleman who would be
more earnest in upholding her proud and noble
eScutcheOn.

THE CROPS.

The growing season Of the cotton crop is now
over, and the result of the maturity of the crop
will be developed by the next few days. The
present indications are encouraging to the farm
ers. Crops of all kinds have been good, and it
may be said that they are above the average.
The small grain crop, upon which our farmers
placed but little dependence in former years, but
which they are now beginning to learn can be
successfully and proftably produced, yielded
abundantly, and the acreage was good. The
acreage in wheat and oats was larger than last
year, and the yield of wheat was corresponding
ly increased. The oats yield was not so satisfac-
tory. owing to unfavorable weather in the early
spring.
The acreage of cotton as compared with 1888 is

FINISH THE STATE HoUsE.-The editor
of the Medium was nominated by the Demo-
cratic primaries for seat in the House of
Representatives without having made any
promises as to what he would do during his
term. We do not hesitate to say, however,
that he will vote for sufficient appropria-
tion to finish up the State House in first
class order. It is shame that this thing
has been neglected so long. The people Of
South Carolina do not object to the amount
of taxes if the money is spent in the proper

POLITICAL NOTES.

- The Michigan Greenbackers have en-
dorsed Ben Butler.
- The Temperance societies at Norfolk,
Va, not caring to throw their votes away
for st. John, have all agreed to support
Cleveland and Hendricks.
The Illinois greenbackers have endorsed
Butler, but their State convention split on a
question of bosses and adjourned without
healing the breach.
A Wheeling, West Virginia, correspon-
dent of the New York Herald says Cleve-
land will carry that State by the largest ma
jority ever given by the State.
st. John, the Prohibition nominee for
president and Daniel, the nominee for Vice
President on the same ticket, have both
been formally notified of their nomination,
and both accept.
The anti prohibition wing of the Kansas
Republicans have held separate convention
and denounced prohibition while endorsing
Blaine and Logan. They seek an alliance
with the Democrats on State issues.
Governor Hoadley, Of Ohio, predicts
that his State will elect Cleveland and Hen
bricks by $4,000 majority. The Germans
are against Blaine. Governor Hoadly had
heard of only one Irishman in Ohio who
was booming Blaine.
- Mr.. Hendricks letter of acceptance is a
model of brevity and sound sense. He says
he approves of the Democratic platform and
will rise or fall with it. In saying this ne
says all that it is necessary that he should
say.
The New Jersey Democrats met in con-
vention in unprecedented numbers on We'd
nesday, of last week, nominated an electo-
raj ticket and heard ringing speech from
confidence were shown.
- Governor Cleveland, if elected Presi-
dent, would be, with one exception, the
Youngest man ever in that position. Gen
eral Grant, when elected, was forty-siX
years ofage. Cleveland is forty-seven.
The Hon. Frank Hurd, the distinguish
ed tariff reformer of Ohio, has been re-
nominated for Congress. The Protectionists
ran Judge Merrill, their strongest man,
against him, but Hurd's friends were in the
majority. Mr.. Hurd is a splendid speaker
and very able man, and if he is returned
again to Congress he will exercise great in
fluence in that body.
The National Greenback-Labor party
will hold its State Convention at the Ma
sonic Temple in New York city on Satur-
day next. George O. Jones says that the
principal business will be the naming of an
electoral ticket and possibly the nomination
of two Judges of the Court of Appeals.
Jones says Judges Anderson and Rapallo
will not be "endorsed," though they may
be nominated. After the convention a re-
ception to General Butler will be given.
Tomorrow evening conference will be
held at the Strutevart House between the
National party committee, a delegation of
II from the -MonopOlists and repre-
sentatives of all regularly organized bodies
in the State that chooses to send delegates.
Jones predicts that Butler will poll l,5OO,-
900 votes.

ARTHUR AND THE REPUBLTCANs.--A
New York correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun writes of President Arthur's attitude
towards the Republican ticket:
But while President Arthur may discrete-
ly keep his mouth shut, and as his friends
say, is only interested in maintaining good
government and conducting himself SO as to
20 out of office with clean record, yet it is
over Blaine's defeat. Besides the personal
feeling which exists between Mr.. Arthur
and Mr. Blaine, there is political reason
at the bottom of this. The StalWarts be-
lieve that if Blaine is defeated it is not as
much of q defeat of their party as it is OF a
man that it would have the effect of wip-
ing out the factional differences which have
existed during the last eight years, and
which have been growing in bitterness with
each succeeding election. In this way they
look upon the effect of defeat now very
much as a doctor would regard dose of
physic upon bilious patient.

Mrs. Brown, who was Miss Montgomery near
Glenn Springs, died about three weeks ago, leav-
ing five children. She was most excellent wo-
man, patient when her suffering was great, the
kind neighbor, the devoted mother, the consist

this county bear the strongest testimony to her
piety and genuine worth"
