ATLANTA's SOCIAL FEUD.
Gen. Lewisis not Dismissed from the
City's High Toned Club.
1From the New York Herald. I

rom Tie Ne" 1OIh 1Sldlu.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 11.-Atlanta's
Four Hundred, as represented by the
Capital City Club, has for the past week
been investigating the recent postofflce
imbroglio, with view to firing from its
membership Gen. Lewis, the post
master. A special committee of investi-
CATION finished its labors tonight, and
the result is that no case is made out
against Mr.. Lewis. The overwhelming
sentiment of the club has been against
him, and this result is victory for
him.
LNIe work of the committee has been
carried on with closed doors, but it is
known that there have been some ex-
citing and dramatic scenes. When Gen.
Lewis was asked the question. "Do you
believe in the equality Of the races?'
he Jumped from his chair and said:
'sThere is no man living, even though
he be Southern born and and bred, who
is further from believing in social equa-
lity between the races in any shape or
any form than I am, and repeat this
statement in this emphatic way"
He showed how he had resigned ms
position as trustee of the Atlanta Uni
versity, an institution for colored
youths, because he did not agree with
the teaching the equality of the races
and with other methods used by
the officers of the institution to raise
money from the Southrn people: The
trial has created a good deal of bitter
feeling among the members of the club,
and will result in many designations.

FIGHTING THE JUTE TRUST.
Alabama Farmers Standing Shoulder to
Shoulder in the War.

CHICAGO, September ia dispatch
from Greenville, Ala, says: The mem
bers of the Farmers Alliance in this
portion Of the cotton belt of Alabama
are aiding to break down the trust,
which is being antagonized in every
part of the State by the introduction of
cotton bagging asa substitute for baling
cotton. The latter system is a new
one, and the farmers are unable as yet
to procure the material on account of
the failure of the factories to supply the
demand. Increased facilities are being
rapidly adopted for turning it out, and
before long cotton bagging will entirely
supplant jute, Notwithstanding that d
loss Of so cents or 81 per bale is sus-
tained by those who use cotton bagg-
ing. In some sections pine straw is be-
ing woven into bagging, which is said
to be much superior to jute. 1t is not
infammable and will protect the cot
ton better than any covering yet
brought into use. 49,.

4 great storm waged nearly all Of
last week on the Atlantic Coast from
Norfolk to Maine. Its destruction in
some instances beggars description. The
fashionable summer resorts on the New
Jersey shore suffered great loss to their
6UttzGsaE1Hany vessels were in great
distress, and some were lost with all on
haard The storm began Tuesday, and
did not abate until Saturday. The
Signal Service sent utnotiees of warn
ing to Charleston and vicinity on the
approach Of the storm. The old city
escaped entirely, as the storm, which
formed in the Cambean Sea, passed far
out in the Atlantic. 1t is fortunate for
the planters on the coast, as the rice
harvest is at hand, and such a storm
would have destroyed the best prospect
they have had in number of years.

NEwEERRy AS A COTTON MARKET.

NEWBERRY AS a COTTON MARKET.
Our cotemporary mentioned the fact
last week that bale of cotton had
been offered for sale here and after
wards taken to Prosperity and sold.
The same day of the issue Of the paper
We are reliably Informed that the cot
ton market here was 80 cents a hun
dred above the market at Prosperity.
1t sometimes happens that the mar
ket at one place at certain times may
be little above the market at the
other and rice versa. But when the
average is made up we think Newberry
will be found to be as good a market as
Prosperity. We do not see why it
should not be.
We say this in justice to the buyers
at both places. Of course it is to the
interest of our farmers to sell where
they can obtain the best price and this
we would advise them to do.

THEY WANT THE RAILROAD.
Citizens OF Bogansv1l1e Township, Union
County, Enthusiastic Over the Prospect
of Columbia's New Railroad Run
ming Through Their Township.

From the Columbia Register.
GIBBS P. o.. UNION COUNTY, S. c.,
September l3, 1854 large and en-
thusiastic public meeting Of the citi-
zens of Bogansville Township, Union
County, assembled at Gibbs P. O., on
Thursday, September - Captain S. l..
West was called to the chair, with DR..
J. F. Norman as secretary. The chair
man stated that the object of the meet
ing was for the purpose of advising to-
gether and taking such steps as was
necessary and practicable to secure the
location through Bogansville Township
of the line of railroad now in course of
construction from Columbia to Spartan
burg via Prosperity, Newberry and
Glenn Springs.
Enthusiastic speeches were made by
Hon. John W. McCrary, Chairman S.
L. West, Mr.. Sanford Wilburn and Mr..
H. G. Lawson, all favoring and hearth
ly endorsing the object of the meeting
and the endeavors to have the location
of said line of railroad through said
township.
The fact was brought out that the
route through Bogansville Township
was seven miles shorter than the route
by Cross Anchor, and that according to
the report Of the engineer who surveyed
the two routes, the estimated cost per
mile was $1,000. Seven miles at SILL
900 would be $1,000 saved by locating
the line through Bogansville Township.
The chairman was instructed to appoint
committee of eight (of which he was
to be member ex oficio) of the best
and most influential citizens of said
township to meet in person and confer
with the authorities of said railroad at
the earliest time possible, for the pur-
pose ofsetting forth the advantages and
inducements Bogansville Township
holds out for the location of the route of
the proposed line of railroad within her
borders. The chairman announced the
committee as follows: Hon. G. D.
Peake, L. P. Murphy, Sanford Will
burn, VIM. Smith, D. c. Gist, H. c.
Lawson, G. w. Peake and F. c. West.

CHESTER, September, 14.-Rader c.
Brandt, young man aged about %,
and the eldest son of the well-known
jeweller, r. Brandt, committed suicide
in his room at his fathers home last
night between 7 and s o'clock. The
act was deliberately done, young Brandt
taking his position before the looking

pistol. Dissipation is assigned as the
cause of the rash act. His remains

Phenomena in Yellowstone Park.

MAMMOTH Hot SPRINGS, YELLOW
STONE PARK, September 1l.-During
the past twenty-four hours there have
been great convulsions of nature, and
subterraneous commotion was followed
by tremendous explosions of gas and
steam in the upper geyser basin. AS a
result all the system is in active out
break, the large geysers being especial,
ly demonstrative. The giant and
giantess are in furious activity, as are
many others, which have long lain dor
mapt and were supposed to have been
extinct. Scientists explain that all OF
this phenomenal outburst is directly
traceable to and connected with the
atmosphere and submarine demonstra-
tions of the great storm that prevailed
along the Atlantic coast simultaneous
ly, yesterday.

THE KING OF FORGERS.
Henry 5. Ives, the Waterlooed Napoleon
Of Finance.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Evening
Sun in it's last edition to-day prints a
sensational story in. which it charges
Henry S. Ives with an attempt to rob
the estate of the late Christopher
Meyer of 100000 by means of a for
gerry.
The forgery consisted of what pur-
ported to be partnership agreement
which would have made Meyers estate
responsible to the full amount of Mey-
er's fortune for the debts Of the firm Of
Ives, Stayner & Co.
This agreement was used in col
lusive suit brought by Albert Meter
against Ives, Stayner & Co., after Mey-
er's death. The scheme failed, however,
because the executors of Meyers estate
disputed the genuineness Of Meyers
signature.

A Letter from Monck's Corner.

Friends and readers of The Herald
-aad- News: I come to you again, fellow
pilgrims upon Tfe's highway and in
vite you to leave the hot and dusty
road to loiter in the shade Of the live
oak which nature has attired in its
beautiful grey beard moss, OF the estate
of Mr.. Meree whose banks are watered
by the mighty Cooper River, and where
fairy flowers are content to rest upon
the banks, and fling to the breezes
their fragrance. After q drive of seven
miles from Monck's Corner to the cosy
and happy home of Mr.. P. D. Meree-1
arrived safely-and began school the
following morning. This is a quiet
neighborhood, being the summer home
for rice planters-a very pleasant local.
ity.
We went down to Mr.. Merees plan
tation last Saturday, and rode through
the rice fields such novel sight to US,
who have never seen rice growing-this
is the season for cutting, the plant is
green, while the seed hang most grace
fully in their straw-colored coats the
rice plants are tall, and water is turned
from the majestic Cooper on the rice
fields, which remain there until ready
to harvest, it is cut while the stalk is
green. The rice fields cover a large
area, and it reminds one of being out at
sea, as far as eye can reach, water
water; the rice grows so evenly that as
the wind passes over it, it waves and
waves, then On and on to other waves
until it disappears. Any description
of rice growing and harvesting should
be seen to be appreciated.
Then the labor is not all spent on rice
growing; for many thousands of pounds
of hay, as well as the corn and peas
whice he grows, are being stored in his
immense barn.
We entered his place through a ro-
mantle drive, passing under arches OF
live-oaks and water-oaks gracefully
hung with moss, many colored morn
ing glories, and every where springing
up the golden-rod, which should be the
flower of America. We were attracted
by the great quantity of field flowers,
the beauty of which, we never before
realized how forcibly one is reminded
that flowers are Gods undertone of en-
couragement to the children of earth
And as Shakespeare says-"Eke the
pleasures of life" There is queer
flower, called "snake's tongue" which
is indigenous to this section, the man
ifold colored grasses bring to mind the
decorations of many Newberry homes.
Mr.. Meree is an extensive rice planter
and his place yields thousands of
bushels of rice, which he will sell to
any of you by the barrel at six cents
per pound the best rice; the broken rice
he will sell cheaper, all who desire to
purchase can address him at Monck's
Corner. If 1 have not wearied you, I
will write again, after I visit the old
Biggan Church and old Monck's
Corner. I hope to receive a weekly
visit from your paper. N. l.. 7.

quite a serious accident Thursday night
which narrowly escaped having a fatal
result. Mr.. Browne was descending a
flight of stairs in his residence on Plain

missed his footing and fell down the
stairs nearly the whole length OF the

hand and burst, the burning oil at once
startinga blaze in the hail. Fortunately
Mr.. Browne escaped with only few
bruises, and be was able to at once ex-
tinguish the incipient conhagratlon
with some water near at hand. He was
yesterday feeling very stiff and sore
from the effects Of his fall.
