Sill Another Stale Ticket.

Columbia Cor. Aatg~sta Chronicle.
COLUMBIA, Oct. 1.-THE Temporal
ry suspension of the "new deal" cry
does not prevent political predictions
of future results. The following tick
ct is said to be among the possibili.
ties: Governor, Hon. John Peter Rich
ardson; Lieutenant Governor. Hon
D. S. Henderson; Secretary OF State,
Hon. j. N. Lipscomb; State Treasu.
rer, Hon. w. G. Coker; Comptroller
General, Hon. W. E. Stoney; Attor
ney General, Hon. Stonyarm Wiluon
Adjutant and Inspector General, A,
n. Manigault; Superintendent Of Ed
ucation, Hon. A. Coward. Rumora
are afloat in some political circles that
foreign miesion will be rendered a
prominent South Carolinian at Oh
early day, and that this appointment
will result in the promotion of others
now holding high and responsible
State positions. This information
comes 80 direct and from 80 reliable F..
source that l am almost tempted 10
name the positions and the men, but
l have learned from experience that
it is better TO withhold names when
there ia any doubt Of the correctness
of the information, and, as I have not
been able to have these rumors con
6rmed, l only mention them in gen
eral way. RICHLAND.

TIE SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY.
The discussion which has been go.
ing on in the newspapers OF the State
on the subject Of free tuition in the
South Carolina College has evidently
benefited the institution, as we note
phenomenal increase in the patron
age, which we believe is due in great
part to the advertising which The pa
pers on both sides have given to the
College. The roll shows An increase
of thirty per cent. over last years
number. There are now one hundred
and eighty four students in attend
ance, and the indications are that
this number will be increased 10 two
hundred and twenty-five before the

Since our last issue the State elec
tion has boen held in Ohio, and the
result was Republican victory by 9
plurality Of over 1900 votes. Il
this were the presidential year, this
defeat Of the Democratic party would
be Of some significance, as indicating
the popularity or unpopularity oil
President Cleveland's 8 administration
As it is. however. the off year in poll
tics, Ohio has simply returned to the
mire Of republicanism. And now that
this agony is over, all eyes are direct
ed soNeW York; and upon the pros
peets there, the New York Sun speaks
as follows:
"Now that the Ohio election is over
and its effect upon the minds of our
citisena has been produced, we are all
prepared to take q distinct and salts.
factory view.of the prospect here in
New York.
1--WE know that the Democratic
ticket headed by Hill and Jones ought
10 be elected, and We believe that it
will be. The reasons for this faith
are simple and oogent.
1.-THE Democracy of this State is
thoroughly united. There is no fac
tious quarrel which diminishes the
Democratic vote. That vast number
of ,citizens who last fall voted for
Blaine, have come back, and are
among the most enthusiastic support
ers of Hill and Jones. This is fact
of'the highest moment
Moreover, q great service has been
rendered to Governor Hill by the ut.
tacks which his enemies have now
made. They have accused him of
having had discreditable dealings
with Mr.. Tweed some fifteen years
ego, and great display of Elusive
evidence has been made to sustain this
accusation. Only yesterday a mum.
Der of journals that oppose his elec.
ton devoted great portion Of their
space to fac SMILES Of checks and re
ceipts which are supposed to support
it. A more extravagant, malicious,
and unjusti6able assault was new r
made upon the good name of a public
officer. There Is nothing in Mr.. Hills
history, either fifteen years ago or
since, which should lead any patriotic
citizen to withhold his friendship
from him. There were many men,
Republicans as we'll as we'll as Demo-
Gratis. whom, in the days Of his power,
Mr.. Tweed was wont to use for his
own purposes; but henever used Mr..
Hill. As member of the Democrat
ic party Hill supported those meas
ures which the party deemed wise
and necessary and among them there
were at times measures which Mr.. |
Tweed favored and desired; bnt in
all of these cases there is not single |
instance III which Mr.. Hill acted from
corrupt motive, or supported any
measure Of Tweed's for any other rea-
son than his own conviction that it |
was for the public interest. This is
demonstrated by careful study Of
his whole record; and the people who
really look into these things are sure
to be convinced of it. The reaction |
from this attempt of his enemies will
undoubtedly prove of very great ad-
vantage to Mr. Hill. In fact, it forms
one Of the reasons why we expect his
election.

Information Wanted.
Charleston Ncaos and Couric,

| (WuTtcStOR NcOS d7lU courier.
We haveno special information con.
cerning the proposed narrow gauge
railway from GreenvilIe to Edge6eld,
and we suppose that, If Charleston g
assistance is desired steps will be
taken to explain fully the character
and merits Of the enterprise. 1t ap
pears, however, to offer an excellent
oppoi tunity to Charleston TO obtain 2
snort line to the mountains at tri
fling expense.
Some months ago various efforts
were made to interest the Charleston
pubic in the Carolina, Cumberland
Gap and Chicago Railroad, and COM
mittees were appointed to devise
means for giving aid 10 that project.
The townships through which the
road is to pass were invited to make
subscriptions to the stock Of the COM
pany, and beyond that no information
has been given to the public.
1t is not likely that there will be
any disposition TO take up the narrow
gauge scheme, unless the Carolina,
Cumberland Gap and Chicago Rail-
road shall be abaado-ed, or prove to
be impracticable. 1t is very desira-
BILE, therefore, that President Hsgood,
or some one else who is acquainted
with the condition of aifAira, shall let
the public know how the road stands
and what are it's prospects.
Henry w. Shaw, better known as
"Josh Billings" who died on We'd
neadsy, was G5 years old, having been
born in Lanesborough, Berkshire coun-
ty, Mass, in 1920. lie resided in
his native town until lie had reached
the age of fourteen, when he went
West and for several years led a from
tier life, being engaged in the various
occupations Of steering steamboats,,
keeping country store and acting
as auctioneer in the small Western
towns and cities. Finally, becoming
weary of this irregular lite, and being
desirous Of giving his daughters
better education than The limited fa-
cilities in the West at that time al
forded, MIR. Shaw in 1865 removed to
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and devoted
himself to editing small paper. 1t
wss while engaged in this work that
he wrote the first humorous article
which attracted attention principally
by his phonetic spelling. He called
it Essa ON the Muel." 1t was ex-
tensively copied, and the namo Of
Josh Billings soon became known
throughout the land. From that
time until his death his career was
one OF continued financial success.
One weekly paper alone in New York
city paid him $l00 week for half
column of matter, and his lectures
brought him in large and steady |
revenue. In 1878 he began the pub
lication Of his Farmers Alminax,
a book which in ita second year had
a sale Of $4,000 copies, and in ten
years had netted the author. and put.
Usher $4,000 each.
