The Cost OF Living.

Mr., Edward Atkinson, an American
writer of note, has been estimating what
1t would cost each individual for neces.
sary food of sufficient variety per day
and year; and also the value of the total
amount OF food upon which the people
OF the United States could subsist for
that time. He makes 1t four billion,
three hundred and forty millions of dol.
lars annually for the whole people; and
for each individual, eighty.six dollars
and eighty-one cents per year; and only
twenty'three cents and eight mills per
day for each person. He gives the fol.

GRANTS OBSEOUIES.'

The ceremonies attending the burial of
Gen. Grant, in Riverside Park, at New
York, last Saturday, formed the grandest
pageant known to modern times. The pro-
cession numbered fully 10000 persons, and
the time required for the ceremonies con-
sumed nine hours. The arrangements were
all under direction of Gen. Hancock, and
the mass of troops and civilians was moved
from the City Hall to the last resting place
of the dead, with the utmost good order and
without accident. At IS minutes past P.
M, the ceremonies were concluded with re-
ligious exercises by Rev. DR.. Newman and
Bishop Harris, the latter of whom read the
ritual service of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. During these ceremonies the fam
lily stood at the foot of the casket. Mrs.
Grant was not there. Directly behind the
funeral party stood Gen. Hancock. At his
elbow was President Cleveland, Vice-Presi-
dent Hendricks and members ofthe Cabinet
Sherman and Sheridan in full uniform were
uncovered during the entire service. AT
their sides were ex-Presidents Arthur and
Hayes and Senator Sherman, and on the
other side of the casket, opposite, were Ad-
miral Porter, Fitzhugh Lee, Gen. Gordon
and Gen. Buckner When the religious
services were ended, a trumpeter sounded
the tattoo, the remains were borne within
the tomb and placed within the steel case,
after which the Innings were sealed, and the
long chapter ended.

CROP REPORTS.

Returns to the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, make slight Improvements
in the condition of cotton, on the first of
this month, the general average being 96@,
a point not exceeded in the August returns
since 1880. The average for South Carolina
this month is sc. The crop is few days
late, especially in the Atlantic States. Lack
ofrain is reported in some sections, especial
ly portions of Texas. The shedding of
forms and bolls by rust and blight is much
less prevalent than usual. The caterpillar
has as yet done no damage, though reported
in several counties in South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. 1t is
rare in Mississippi and not reported in Ar
kansas and Tennessee.
Corn has made Improvement since the
last report, and the general average will be
26 to q bushels per acre. The corn prospect
mas not been exceeded since 1880.
Unfavorable weather in some of the prin-
cipal wheat growing sections has reduced
the prospects of this crop, and indicates a
reduction of 100000 bushels from the ex-
pectations on the 1st of July.

THE CITADEL TROUBLES.

We publish this week lengthy state
ment by Col. John P. Thomas, late Super
intendent of the Citadel Academy, giving
his reasons for resigning that position. We
print his card for the two-fold purpose OF
giving, so far as the statements of fact there.
in contained go to do it, the inside history
of the troubles which brought about the
resignation of Col. Thomas, and also to
place that gentleman properly before the
public.
AS we understand the origin of the diff
Guilty, which was of so trivial a character
as to excl te no attention in its incipiency,
Cadet Schirmer, some weeks ago, reported
a trifing delinquency of a brother cadet
a brecha of discipline in the mess-hall, we
believe. This provoked the ire of several
cadets, and subsequently, when Cadet
Schirmer was promoted to the rank OF
Sergeant by the Superintendent on the
ground, as we must suppose, of merit, a
cumbersome seventy cadets-signed a
protest and presented it to the Superinten-
dent, the ostensible objection to Cadet
Schirmer being that he had practiced es-
pionage upon his fellow cadets. The signers
of the protest threatened to withdraw from
the school if the promotion of Schirmer
was not revoEI.; The Superintendent,
properly enough refuss& to do this, and a
meeting of the BoaM Of Visitors was
called to consider the case. Upon investi-
cation Sergeant Schirmer was acquitted OF
"conduct unbecoming a gentleman" but
the Board consider that he was not without
fault. His appointment as sergeant was
revoked on the ground that, under all the
circumstances, he could not discharge the
duties of the office with advantage to the
interest of the institution.
Besides the resignation of Col. Thomas,
which followed, Gen. Kemper, Professor
of Sciences, has likewise resigned. The
vacancies will be filled by the Board before
October lst, when the next term begins.

CROPS IN THE STATE.

The State Department of Agriculture fur
nishes the following information regarding
the growing crops derived from the reports
of its county and township correspondents:
CoTroN.-The favorable condition of the
cotton crop during June has been fully
maintained in July. Generally throughout
the State the plant shows rapid and healthy
growth, and the reports indicate one of the
finest crops grown in the State for many
years. In some sections the rains have
been excessive, and in others there has been
insufficient rainfall, but these conditions ex-
ist only in few localities, and are not gen.
eral enough to appreciably affect the crop.
The correspondents with scarcely an eX-
ception, report that where the crop has
been we'll worked, and this has been done
very generally, the prospects for full yield
are very promising. Caterpillars have ap-
peared in Aiken, Darlington, Orangeburg,
Sumter, Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston,
Colleton and Hampton, but so far have
done no serious harm-but farmers are ap-
prehensive of damage that may be done by
second brood.
The planters have begun the use of Paris
green in some of the lower counties, and
this will be resorted to in other sections if
necessary. Slight shedding is noticed in
localities, but the crop has sustained no in
jury from this cause. Some correspondents
say that the plant is growing too much to
weed and is not fruiting we'll.
In few townships labor has not been
sufficient to work the crop, and that is still
grassy, and small area has been abandon
ed from this cause.
The condition, August 1st, is reported: /:
In upper Carolina at 10l, middle Carolina at
SO and lower Carolina at 98, average for the
State SO.
The following was the condition on the
first of August in the years mentioned: 1881
72, 1882 81, 1888 70 and in 1884 81. The con-
dition is higher than any reported by the
National Departmet of Agriculture since
1870. In that year it was reported at l01.
The next highest reports made by that de-
partment were in 1872, 1880 and 1882, when
it was estimated at SO.
CoRN.-The corn crop is unusually good,
and many of the correspondents express the
opinion that it will be the largest yield ever
obtained in the State. The early corn is
safe for full crop beyond all contingencies,
and the late planting promises equally as
we'll. The condition is reported in upper
Carolina los, middle and lower Carolina
1Ol average for the State 102, against 81
for the same period last year.
OTHER CROPs.-The smaller crops have
been necessarily neglected on account Of
the labor needed to keep the more import
ant crops we'll worked, and the condition is
consequently lower than it would otherwise
have been.
Sorghum is reported at SO, sugar cane 95,
peas SO, Irish potatoes 81 and sweet potatoes

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, S. c., August 1O.-The Rock
Hill cotton factory has suspended for two
weeks This was done at the request OF the
operatives, in order that they might have
some recreation. During the suspension the
company will have the machinery over
hauled and thoroughly cleaned.
There is some talk among our citizens OF
forming joint stock company for establish
ing laundry. This is an enterprise much
needed, and it is hoped that the company
necessary machinery will cost about $4,000.
Mr.. r. Morrison, of Ebenezer, shipped by
express from this place last week 426 baskets
of Delaware grapes to New York and Bos-
ton. The baskets averaged 10 pounds each.
Mr.. Morrison informs me that he expects
to realize from 90 to 25 cents per pound on
them.
Very interesting religious services were

held at Hopewell Church, six miles from
this place, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
last. They were conducted by Rev. James
S. White, assisted by Rev. w. B. Jennings,
pastor of the Presbyterian church at this
place. A congregational meeting was held
after the services on Friday, and call was
extended to Rev. James S. White, of this
place, to accept the pastorate of the church.
In all probability he will accept the call.
The congregation will certainly be fortu-
nate in securing the services Of such an able
Christian man as their pastor.
A number of our young people attended
the picnic at India Hook on Thursday last.
Dick Latta's string band was present, as
was also the Gold Hill silver cornet band,
of Fort Mill township. All report having
had pleasant time.
The cold hand of death invaded our town
on last Friday, and snatched from two low
ing parents their little babe, Frederick Hill,
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred. H. Lon
don, aged 3 months. 1t is comforting to
know that he was returned to the Giver as
pure and spotless as when given.
On the same day death entered another
home, this time to rob it of loving father
and devoted husband, Mr.. VIM. l.. Roach,
in the 4Sth year of his age. He was buried
from his residence, on Saturday, by Rev
w. B. Jennings, assisted by Revs. E. n.
Joyner and James S. White. The body
was escorted to Laurelwood Cemetery by
the Knights of Honor, of which order he
was member, and inferred with the SER
vices of the order. The family have the
sympathies Of the community in their be-
reavement.
To-day Mr.. Wood, a young man from Con-
cord, N. c., arrived at this place. on the 2
o'clock train; he was accompanied by a
young lady. They at once went to the
Globe Hotel. Mr.. Wood was not long in
letting the secret out, he had slipped the
old folks. A minister was sent for and the
couple were soon made one. They left on
the 5 P. NJ. train.
The annual shooting match ofthe Catawba
Rifles came off in this place this afternoon.
Mr. Thos. A. Robertson made the best score,
and was awarded the gold medal by Capt.
Allen Jones in few we'll chosen remarks.
A protracted meeting is in progress at
the Baptist church in this place. The pas
tor, Rev. A. P. Pugh, is assisted by. Rev.

SOUTH CAROLINA VETERANS.

The Survivors Association of the Sixth
Regiment S. G. ", a few members of the
Twelfth regiment, and members of the
Fifth and Fifteenth regiments and de-
tatchment from the Seventh South Carolina
battalion, all Confederate veterans, accom-
panied by the Gordon Light Infantry OF
Winnsboro, visited Richmond last week,
the object being for the Sixth Regiment
Survivors to hold their annual reunion on
Thursday on the battlefield of Seven Pines.
The train, chartered for the occasion, left
Columbia with not more than a dozen eX-
cursionists, but by the time it reached the
northern borders of the State there were
in the neighborhood of four hundred per-
sons on board.
Arriving at Richmond, the veterans were
properly received in that city by the mill
tary organizations and civic bodies, and af-
ter breakfast the Survivors and the Gordon
Light Infantry were escorted to the Rich
mond & Danville Railway station, where
they boarded the train, at half paste O'Clock
for Seven Pines. Of the exercises in the
field, the special correspondent of the Ners
and Courier writes as follows:
A half hours ride brought them to Fair
Oaks, station on the York River Railroad,
which, in the Federal annals of the war,
has given name to what is better known
as the Battle of Seven Pines.
Fair Oaks is pretty much the same as it
was twenty-three years ago, although inn
mediately around it the scene has in some
respects changed for the better. From Fair
Oaks to Seven Pines there is road running
southeast, which crosses the Williamsburg
road about mile from the former place,
and the junction Of the two roads is known
as Seven Pines. From Seven Pines the
Williamsburg road runs west for some dis
tance in the direction of Richmond, which
is distant about eight miles, and east to-
wards the Chickahominy River. 1t runs
almost parallel with the York River Rail
road, which latter runs through Fair Oaks
station.
The military operations which led to the
battle of Seven Pines have been more fire.
quently discussed than those of any other
battle of the civil war. 1t will perhaps,
therefore, be sufficiently explanatory to pre-
mise that two corps of McClellan's army,
Keyes' and Heintzelman's, had been thrown

THE COLUMBIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
Mr.. Vos, the young Princeton student,
who was recently elected provisional in
structor of biblical literature" in the Pres
byterian theological seminary, after signi-
flying his acceptance has now declined COM
ing. DR.. Mack, in his published notice of
this fact, ascribes it to certain late publica-
tions in the religious newspapers. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Vos has discovered that
his election was in the face of vigorous op-
position, especially on the ground of his
seminary providing that all its professors
shall be ordained ministers of the Gospel.
Recent publications have indicated that this
question would be brought up by the con:
trolling synods against the confirmation of
Mr.. Vos' election. This withdrawal of Mr.
Vos leaves the seminary with the prospect
of having but two professors at the opening
of the next session in September. These are
DIR. Girardeau and DR.. Tadlock, Dr. Hers
man, who was elected to the Perkins chair,
having previously declined.
