The Farmers Citadel.

At the recent supper given to the
graduates Of the Citadel Academy at the
Charleston Hotel, Congressman Dibble,
who was present, was called upon to
respond to a volunteer toast and spoke
as followrs;
Mr.. President and gentlemen OF the
Association of Graduates / esteem il a
great privilege as q South Caroiinian to
recall the proud history Of tine Citadel
Academy, and confidently believe that
this noble institution has many years, of
prosperity before it in the future.
II, the brief space Of time ] shall ocz

phasize the idea that the free tuition by
the State, OF students at the Militsry
Academy is not 4 charity. Il is strictdy 3

the Roman matron, who proudly ex-
claimed of her sons, These are my jew
els !" And the State Of South Carolina
should be able to point proudly to her
sons, 'These are my jewels !" But the
brilliants That decorate the breast Of
beauty arc not the rough diamonds from
the quarry, but the sparkling gems cut
and polished with all the skill Of the
lapidary. So this native. rude talent Of
the sons Of Carolina must be developed
by the skilled labor Of the educator, if
she desires to point to her sons and cx-
claim, as did the mother Of the Gracchi,
'These are my jewels -
There is no danger, in my opinion,
Mr.. President, Of our people ever taking
any retrograde steps in the support of
higher education, provided the question
Is discussed freely and the advantages
Of our educational institutions arc set
before them. They will realize that, if
we wish to maintain respectable place
in the march of progress, we must sup
ply every advantage to the bright minds
among our young men, whether they
agsrich or poor. We must prepare them
thoroughly, so that they can utilize full
~ the ability God has given them, and
the coming generations will be able to
keep South Carolina abreast of the pro-
gressive communities.
In conclusion, Mr.. President, coming
from county composed largely Of far
mers,, / demand for their sakes that those
institutions may be maintained, and that
poverty should not be the means Of de-
priving their sons of the privileges Of
State education and, as taxpayer, 1
also demand that when the taxpayers Of
the State contribute for the maintenance
of the College and the CITADEL these
schools oflearning shall never shut their
doors on any South Carolina boy simply
because he cannot afford 10 pay tuition.

Grammercy's Sage At Rest.

YoNKERs, N. Y, Aus.-Samual j..
Illdcn died at Greystone this morning
at 10 minutes before 8 O'Clock. He had
been enjoying his usual good health UP
to last Saturday evening, While sitting
on the stoop of his residence after sum
down on that evening he was taken with
slight chill which settled on his stom-
ach and bowels, producing infiamntion
from which he suffered all night. Sua-
day he was better and was able to ride
out. On Sunday evening he felt much
worse and conued to grow weaker. But
until last night there vere no fear IF
consequences. This morning it became
apparent that tho end was near.

On the Eve Of the Fight.
columbia Register.l

. COLUMBIA, S. c., August 4th, 1886.
Last night all the hotels presented .
wonderful animated appearance. Shoals
of politicians filled the lobbies and the
sidewalks, and tho buzz Of conversation
among the office-seekers and their ad-
herents added life to the scene. Nearly
every delegate had his own peculiar
ideas Of what the Convention would do.
and it was matter Of impossibility to
gauge accurately the relative strength
Of the various candidates. One body Of
delegates expressed the opinion that
Colonel John Peter Richardson will win
the nomination on the first ballot; an
other equally powerful delegation would
just as confidently assert that Governor
Sheppard will b, nominated; others
again were doubtful as to the chances
Of either and opined that while these
two favorites and their friends were
beating tho political bush some dark
horse might walk away with the game.
Mr.. Coker and Chancellor Johnson
loomed up as no unimportant factors
and Colonel McCrady developed unex-
pccted strength. Tie opinion was freely
expressed that one Of these excellent
gentlemen might be selected as the
nominee in the event of dead lock.
Other sagacious politicians say it would
not surprise them to see General John
Bratton brought to the front. But this
seems out of the question, in view OF
General Bratton's unequiyocal declina-
ton. The truth is that everybody ap-
peared at sea. and no end of wise sug-
gestions and knowing predictions We're
indulged in. The reporters Of the -Itey
ister mixed freely with the delegates
last night and pumped them to the best
of their ability, but without any very
satisfactory results. After carefully
weighing and calculating the probable
strength Of each candidate upon the i'm
perfect data thus obtained, the follow
ling conclusions were reached: During
the past ten hours Richardson's chances

have improved that during the same
period OF time Sheppard's strength has
gradually but surely wansd, owing, it il
believed, to an unhoty alliance between

named, will poll very respectableIvote
It appears by no means probable, there

this plan had been adopted at the outset
sentiment in the state regarding the town
system.
The house also passed a bill making
scientific temperance instruction compulsory
in all schools and to children Of every grade,
and also IA bill requiring the state to furnish
free textbooks on this subject to all the
schools. The house also passed a bill re-
quiring the governor to appoint "A committee
of three good men who shall make thor
ough investigation of our present school
laws ascertain what changes are advisable
and report to the next biennial session.
Some or all of these bills passed the senate
and became laws, besides many more of less
general interest.
Only one bill passed which looks like a
backward step, the one allowing towns
which have adopted the town system the
right to vote on the question every two years
thereafter, instead of every five Years. The
only bills that failed to pass were one pro-
viding for free textbooks, which passed the
senate and was defeated in the house by
twelve majority, and one securing state uni
formity of textbooks. The last bill would
probably have gone through had it not
been urged that the present contracts for
school books have three years longer to run,
and it will he time enough to change the
law at the next session.
In view of all the circumstances, we think
as much, and even more, was accomplished
at the recent session in regard to educa-
tional matters than could have reasonably
been expected

Senator Valentine and Prohibition.

Senator Valentine, who introduced the
license bill in the senate, writes to the Ben
nington BANNER as follows: " | have no
dispute with any one who favors practical
prohibition. / have always been prohibit
ZIONIST, and am now, with this quail
tiCation-that in our beautiful village
would rather be obliged to endure two sell
ers of spirituous liquors at $500 each than
fifty who pay nothing. 1t is not reasonable
to me that two will sell as much as fifty. |
am not in favor of free rum under the guise
of prohibition. The way for us to show
that we need no change is to enforce the
present law. Failing in this let us try some
thing else. Practical temperance is what
we need-temperance shown by works
rather than theories A law of practical
prohibition like the Nebraska law, enforced
as it is there, is better than prohibitory
laws which do not prohibit. There is no
doubt but that the greater part of temper
ance workers whose attention have been
called to the subject honestly believe that
the Nebraska law (Which all should read
is more in the interest of temperance than
our unenforced prohibitory law. This feel
ing prevailed with our legislators, both of
the house and senate, who were among the
most earnest of our temperance men. The
bill in the senate was introduced by the adj
vice of a number of temperance workers.
In this connection the fact should not be
lost sight of that the bill provided for its
submission TO the people, as was done tllrty
years ago when the present law was adopted
At the polls, it is safe to say, would be
found working together for its defeat the
rum-seller and the theoretical prohibition
ist The bill was not pressed because:
" FirSt.-It was hoped that, the attention
of the people being called to the subject
greater effort would be made to enforce our
present law, and possibly with such success
that we should not need a change.
" ,Second.-ln Difference to the personal
appeals of temperance men who honestly
believe that the time has not yet come for a
change.
1hird.-In Difference to the appeal of
good republicans who feared disaster to the
republican party outside of the state If, at
this time, republican Vermont repealed its
present law.
" FOurth.-On account of the generally
expressed determination to show before
another legislature convenes that the pres
ent law can be enforced.
" Now let us all take part in the enforce
ment of the present law. Let us spend our
money, if need be, sign complaints without
lodging and act as constables when we must.
This is the way to demonstrate our devo-
ton to prohibition. Also as republicans let
us remember that as party we cannot af-
ford to make party test on a law which
now means free rum, perjury and contempt
of law"

Obituary.

VINCENT. Miss Hattie S. Vincent who
died in Chelsea November II, was born in
Plainheld February Is, 1887 She passed
about thirty years of her life in the last
named town, her residence being in Chelsea
most of the remaining part of her life. Miss
Vincent was woman of rare endowments
of mind and qualities of heart To amiable
and generous native traits she added the
graces of ripened Christian character.
Several years of her life were devoted TO Il
ministry OF service to her parents. Aiding
her invalid mother in the care of her father
through his last illness of several years, she
then devoted herself to the care of the
mother through her lingering decline till
the end. Her arduous duties in the care of
her mother were done with generous cheer
fulness, and it was to her IA privilege TO do
what would have seemed great self-denial
to some. These ministries for her mother
We're too much for her already infrm
health, and it was probably due to them
that she became an invalid for the remainder
of her life. Shut in from the busy activities
OF social life for much of the time for ten or
twelve years, she bore with submission the
Christening. Always cheerful, her serenity
ana truStlulneSS were constant benedlc-
ton to her friends and associates. Chris
tan friends who came to comfort her
departed with the feeling that they had
received more than they had given Her
interest in the welfare of society and of
tHe churches Ill uer town was CONSTANT
and unfailing, For many years a MEM
Der of the Methodist Episcopal church in
Chelsea, her social relations brought her
INTO close connection with the COngrega-
tional church, for which she had warm
sympathy and whose prosperity she desired
even as though it was her own church,
Miss Vincent endeared herself to all who
came near her, and though Providence eX-
cluded her from public and social life to a
large degree, her influence was much valued
and her loss is deeply felt. Her last days
were attended with severe suffering, which
she bore with great fortitude. Her trust in
her Redeemer was unfailing. She felt his
presence to be with her in her suiferings,
ana the precious promises of the life i'm
mortal We're her support as she entered the
dark valley While we mourn our loss we
rejoice in her gain, and our anticipations OF
heaven are brighter as we think of another
spirit such as hers waiting to welcome us
there. Her memory will be a legacy rich
in blessing to friends left behind, so that we
can say of her:
We thank thee for our blessed dead
In ilelds OF life forever led,
Ana for their holy memories left,
The cheer aud balm of hearts bereft. K. X. II
