Our Richland Correspondence.

RIcnLAND, S. c., July 23, 1889.
DEAR COURIER: Everything here
is moving on in the "good old way"
with an occasional Improvement.
Farmers are about done work and
those who are able to indulge are
preparing to enjoy that glorious rest
which usually follows the long and
tiresome cultivation of crops. But
the man who happens to be less IA
vored with this worlds goods and
who looks forward with the hope of
better surroundings, is continually in
search Of something else to do.
We think we can boast of an ex-
ceptional ncighborhood, anyway, but
we notice a growing disposition
among our farncrs to keep moving,
and when they arc not needed in
their own crops they at once seek
employment with some one else and
earn a living, while they would 9TH
erwise be idle and increasing their
Indebtedness with merchants.
Crops are looking fine now, and
with good seasons throughout the
summer, the country generally will
Ebc i'll better condition, financially,
than we have experienced for years.
The wheat crop was somewhat
spotted. Insomc instances it turned
out we'll, while in others very sorry.
Mr.. II. f. Baldwin sowcd three
bushels and harvested thirty three.
We might mention other crops, but
this is the best we have heard of, and
it would not be any credit to us to
mention smaller yields.
The Trustees of the Richland
Educational Enterprise will meet in
a few days for the purpose of ar
ranging plans and specifications for
the new academy, to be erected, hore,
and they will soon be ready to solicit
bids for putting up the same. This
building will be quite an addition to
our little town and we expect to
have it ready for our next school.
Miss Lola Werner, of Tyler, Texas,
is visiting the family Of Mr.. Il. p.
Werner. This notice is without the
consent of Miss Lola, and as proof
of the samc'wc would state for the
benefit of the boys that we heard
her tell young man few days ago
that she must go back to school.
The doors of Mr.. e. p. Werner
have been thrown open for the re-
ccption of boarders from Charleston,
and we learn that they expect scvc-
raj persons from that city in q few
days. Miss Clara is to be propric-
trcss of the boarding house, and We
know it will be nicely managed; but
We fear the result Of the experience
she will achieve, sincc we remember
that only about year ago a certain
young lady in our midst engaged in
this same line of business, and soon
there was wedding at that house.
We note the appearance of n
certain gentleman from Texas, 1--WE
won't call any namcs,) and we are of
the opinion that South Carolina and
Texas are not as far apart now as
they once were.
We have been very kindly remem-
bcred by our neighbors in the dis
tribution of nice fruits, Miss Emmyc
Werner being among the last to sond
us n basket of nice peaches; but We
don't expect any more peaches from
Miss Emmyc until we send her has
kct home.
Mr.. Curtis Foster has presented
us with u very fine peach and we
have laid it away for future refer
oncc.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 As citizen and taxpayer wish to call the attention of the school board and the cisizens generally to the new schoolhouse now being built on the site of the Webster school, cor ner of York and George streets in the city of New Haven. It is the mason work wish in particular to call attention to. The carpenter work appears to be done we'll, but the mason work is not as it should be. While the de- sign of the architect may be faulty but look at the brick work, for here is where the en- chantment of distance is needed to hide the poor work oecasioned by the staining of the black mortar and the wide joints in the wallis and in my opinion the building should never be sanctioned by the board. It is disgrace to civilized community. think if we are called upon for the means to build these buildings we should get the full value for our money. I hope what I have said will call the attention of my fellow-citizens to the facts in the case. I protest as citizen and taxpayer against the acceptance of the work or the fnsl nayment on the same fss -a--zzor., s contract. CHAs. THOMPSON.

continued to the depth of about fourteen feet where hard coral rock was encountered, and there the dredging process stopped. The work of cutting the canal to the required depth through the coral rock has scarcely been attempted. Of course this portion of the canal is navigable for vessels drawing less than fourteen feet, but twice that depth is needed to make it navigable for the great steamships which are employed in the ocean traffic nowadays.
 Cigarette making has reached such a stage in Cincinnati that the police of the city have been interested to arrest persons guilty of selling cigarettes to minors, in violation of the State law. An investigation of the prevalence of cigarette smoking has recently been made in the public schools of that city. In one district in the best part of the city it was discovered that twenty-six out of thir- ty-six boys in one room, averaging less than ten years of age, were cigarette smokers. One boy of nine years confessed that he had smoked for four years. One of the teachers said that he had caught boys of six years smoking cigarettes. A thirteen year aid boy said that he had smoked till he heard of 6 boy who had died from it, and then he quit. Another of the same age said that he had smoked six months, but his father found it out and he didn't smoke any more. It was found that notion stores near all the schools in Cincinnati had been selling cigarettes to children.
 A Michigan girl charged her parents with forcing her into marriage with man she did not want to wed. During the ceremony she told the justice eff he tied the knot for ty times it would not stay tied;" that she "did not like the man" and would not live with him. "They made me stand up," she continued, "and when was asked whether would take him to be my husband said No, won't,' and on every question asked me that I ought to have answered 'yes' I said 'no' plain, and the next day I ran away"
 In spite of this very unusual conduct the justice calmly proceeded to pronounce the pair man and wife, with the customary con- graduation, and the ceremony was held legal by the Circuit court. The Supreme court, however, says "a concurring consent by two minds at the same instant" is essential to 8 legal marriage, and that the ceremony in this case was not valid because the girl did not consent to it.

AN 4n1EE&NAEAVNAA EF1SUDEs
 The introduction by Professor Weldon of bill into the Canadian parliament has made not little stir. The bill provides that Canada shall surrender all the boodlers and embezzlers belonging in the United States, on application, whether their cases are cov- cred by an extradition treaty or not. Pro- lessor Weldon's reasons for introducing the bill are cogent. He says among other things: I, ss well ss every respectable man in the Dominion, am suffering from the facility with which thief, or blackmailer, or briber, or embezzler can find refuge here. I go to 6 hotel, and the chances are that my name on the register is preceded by that of some we'll known American boodler or defaulter In the dining room the chances are that am put at the same table with this thief ride beside him on railroad cars; he sits in the galleries of this house and mixes with my family and friends; he Hobbies in the halls of legislation; he is omnipresent, leers into your face and obtrudes his unsavory personality and worse character at every turn you make; he occupies a box at the theater while you sit in the stalls; he obtains control of important manufacturing indus- tries and becomes director in corporations chartered by the Dominion of the provinces; he is social Pariah, national disgrace, 8 menace to our institutions, and 6 temp- tation to our clerks, our business men, our cashiers, our bank officials and our children to do wrong and live in luxury on the other side of the line, safe from pursuit and pun ishment.
 The American colony in Canada is much excited, and a number of the sembezzlers" and "defaulters' have agreed to contribute handsomely toward the defeat of the bill. It is related that Thomas Axworthy, ex-city treasurer of Cleveland, Ohio, promised $s,- 900, or $3,000, perhaps his friends enrld raise $5, ,000; J. A. Moore of Indianapolis, whose stealings amounted to nearly a million dollars, promised $7,000; Mrs. Mandlebaum. who is badly wanted in New York, said that she would give 8, 900, or S, 1000, if she was left unmolested in the business which she was carrying on in Hamilton; H. Dieekman, who recently left Missouri, said that all his money has been spent, yet he thought his friends could raise $1.50O or $1,o0O, if his liberty could be saved.
 It will be interesting to watch the progress of the bill. The spectacle of lot of thieves trying to influence the Canadian parliament with part of their stealings will be some thing unusual.
