Young Lady at Boarding School.

At some of the French boarding
schools in Paris, the girls are fed on
weak soup, two or three degrees stronger
than hot water; meat, from which near
ly all the nourishment is extracted by
boiling; coarse veal, watery carrots and
gray, sour bread. The young lady who
comes home after a few terms of this
sort of diet may be very learned, but is
pale and poor-looking, lacking vigor and
health. Give her Browns Iron Bitters
the best tonic in the world for young
ladies with impoverished blood-and
bring the roses into her cheeks.

however; but from very fashionable

young woman, in the tailor made suit,

The time was when woman could not
get too much tiouncing and flutfing on her
garments; now she cannot get too little

the same as her husband or brother; and
the dry goods houses make a specially of
goods for summer wear that have the ap

Tho Anderson military School.


This institution seems to be in -four
ishing condition. Last week was tex
animation week." Every class was re-
ouired to stand rigid written eXamina-
ton. That is a new feature III that insti-
tuition, and promises good results. We
are informed that some of the students
made very fine papers, while others, as is
the case in every school, did not do so
we'll. One case, we think, deserves spc-
cial mention, and the young gentleman
will pardon us for mentioning his name.
Mr.. r. A. Bagwell, of Greenville County,
after standing an examination which Last
ed about four hours, handed Prof. Ligon
q paper which was faultless. The Pro-
fessor, after examining it, remarked: II
will give one dollar for every mistake
that can be found in it." That kind of a
compliment, coming from gentleman OF
Prof. Ligon's ability, is worth something.
Several other cadets made fine papers,
and prominent among them were four or
FIVE of Anderson's own sons. Anderson
points with. pride to the record of her
boys at West Point, Annapolis, and at the
South Carolina College; and she rejoices
to know that her student citizens are
manfully sustaining the reputation of her
school and of the city itself.
Prof. Ligon, aided by his popular and
efficient assistant, Col. ]. G. Clinkscales,
seems to be determined to make the
school succeed upon it's own merits. An
derson should be proud OF this institu-
ton, and our citizens should take advan.
tage of every opportunity to speak an en-
couraging word for it. There are many
young men and boys living in reach Of
Anderson that ought to go to the Military
School during the Winter months at least
Some are under the impression that they
must pay tuition from the opening OF the
session, the first Of September. That is
mistake. The pay begins when they en-
ter. If you must have your boys in your
crop during the Spring and Summer, send
them to school during the Winter.

The opnositiop to the Chinese laborers

The opposition to the Chinese laborers
in the West is intense. In Washington
Territory several instructions have been
organized for the purpose of espeiling
them, and in some instances bloodshed
has occurred. At Tacoma notice was
given the Chinese laborers to leave on or
before the 3rd inst, and the following
telegram gives an account Of the manner
in which the notice was followed up:
"This being the day set for the Chi.
nese to leave at signal given at $3.50 a.
M, many hundred citizens congregated
and marched in an orderly manner along
the streets to the Chinese houses, ordering
the occupants to pack their goods and
leave. The order was complied with.
By p. m. their goods we're packed and
loaded on drays and the Chinese were
marching along by the side of the loaded
wagons en- route to Lake View, nine
miles south of here. The Chinese mer-
chants were given until Wednesday
morning to pack their goods, each store
being allowed three assistants. One
hundred aud ninety.seven Chinese
reached Lake View about P. M, and
camped in the vacant houses. 1t is not
known whether they will take the morn
ing train for Portland, but they probably
will. Many of them are walking south
on the railroad track. Citizens have
sent to the Chinese provisions 10 last till
morning. No trouble has occurred"
Now that the result of the elections in
New York and Virginia has thrown John
Sherman and Governor Foraker out of
business on the negro question, it might
be we'll for them to turn their attention
to the Chinese, and see if they will have
any better success in championing their
cause.

A Dastardlv Outrage.

Last Thursday, Mr.. VIM. Bowen, re.
spectacle and substantial citizen OF Center
Vile Township, found in his mail box,
which is nailed to tree, on the roadside,
in front of his residence, an anonymously
signed letter, in which he was abused,
biackguarded, cursed, and villifed, and
which ended by threatening his life. The
letter was signed "Wade" and "Sam."
This letter did not give Mr.. Bowen much
uneasiness, as he thought some one was
perhaps trying to frighten him.
That night after Mr.. Bowen had retired
to his bed, he was aroused from his
slumbers by loud knocking on his door.
After asking who it was and what was
wanted, and receiving no response, he got
up and went to the door, but found no
one there. Thinking that he was mistaken
as to the knocking on the door, he Went
back to his bed. A short time elapsed,
and he was again aroused, this time the
noise sounding as if some one was strik-
ing the door with a club or throwing rocks
against it, He again got up, and, calling
to his son, who was sleeping upstairs,
they went out on the doorsteps and hol-
looed several times. The night was very
dark, and they could neither see nor hear
any one. Mr.. Bowen, thinking that he
could frighten the intruders fired his gun,
and as he did so, ayolley of shot and
pistol balls came whiZzing through the
darkness at him. Fortunately, however,
the balls did no damage, though MIR. and
Mrs. Bowen were both standing in the
door, the facing of which was struck by
several buckshot. Mr.. Bowen then closed
his door, and was not molested any more
during the night Next morning coffin,
with the words take warning" posted on
it, was found in his yard.
From this Mr.. Bowen concluded that
the authors of the anonymous letter in
tended carrying out their threats, and he
determined to attempt to ferret out the
matter.
Some time ago, two young men, Messrs.
Sam. Hillhouse and Wade Chanblee, who
reside in his neighborhood, had difficult
ty with his son. This difficulty, Of course,
created bad feeling between the parties,
and was the cause of many harsh words
whenever they met. The fact that the
ANONYMOUS letter which Mr.. Bowen
received was signed by the given names
of the above mentioned young men, lod
him to believe that they were tho parties
who had sent him the letter and made the
outrageous attack on him. He came to
tho city on Friday and sworc out war
rants against these young men. The
warrants were lodged with the Sheriff,
who went Immediately to arrest them.
They, however, could not be found, and
up to this time eyaded arrest, though the
Sheriff has searched for them carefully
and made every effort to capture them.
The attack on Mr.. Bowen was most
cowardly outrage, and the guilty parties,
whoever they may be, should be brought
to justice. Such acts of lawlessness
should not be countenanced by any law
abiding citizen, and it is the duty OF every
good citizen to assist the officers in ferret
ing out the criminals and bringing them
to Justice. Sheriff Bolt is determined to
arrest the parties charged with this attack,
