TEACHERS COLUMN.
Teachers Assent bly,.

!. Last year at the meeting Of the State
Teachers Association, at GreenFllle, q
committee WIS appointed 10 take charge
OF y movement looking TO the forma-
ton of teachers assembly. The conf
mittee was given tull power. The or
ganizatinn has been perfected ana
declaration for a charter filed with the
Secretary Of State. The commission
states that the stock will consist OF
10000 shares at IS each. The follow
ing are the officers: w. J. Thackston,
Assistant Superintendent of Education,
President; J. +. Brown, OF NeWberry,
Secretary; L. ?. Ncki>sck, Treasurer.
Board OF Directors: H. P. Archer,
Chairman; Patterson Wardlaw, Dar-
liHgton; ID. 3. Johnson, Colu mbia; }.
G.. Cork, Ninety-SiX; Robt. Morrison,
Camdent.
1t hardly seems necessary to say that
this move is in the right direction.
South Carolina is arousing herself on
the subject Of education, and the teach
ers feel the effects. Our annual gather
ing have not been attended as they
should be. There are over 1000 white
teachers in the State and scarcely 300
are members of the Association. Those
who have kept up the meetings are
anxious to have the hearty co-opera-
Iion and presence of their fellow teach
ers. North Carolina has tlourishing
meeting at Morehead. The teachers
own their grounds and buildings, and
last year had about 1000 teachers pres
ent AZ their meeting. We are anxious
to have every white teacher take one
or more shares in this Assembly
movement. The money will be pay
able in easy iustallnlents. 1t is not
charity that we are asking. but an in
vestment that vii! do you, and your
fellow teachers, good.
The place for the establishment Of
this building has not been chosen, al
though there are many offers to select
| from. The Riacksburg people offer
| 81 ,OGO in money and all land needed,
, besides other inducements. There is i
good offer from Greenville and Paris
| MOuntair. The railroads have offered
tO haul al! lumber free Of charge. There
are other offers which will be presented
to the Association at its next meeting.
| When this place OF meeting is estah-
.ished, it will become summer resort
for teachers where they may recuper-
ate physically and mentally. The eX-
DenSes will ue reduced for stOckO Tners,
be they teachers or not. Newberry
County is expected to take 2GJ shares.

TOWNSHIP BONDS.
Cave Creek Township, Lancaster County,
Bonds Are Invalidated.

Especial to Augusta Chronicle.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 29.-The
United States court to-day decided the
suit of the Massachusetts, and Southern
Construction Company VS.. the Tewn-
ship of Cave Creek, Lancaster County.
The bill was brought to enforce the
delivery Of $4,000 bonds of the town.
ship, issued in aid of the Three C's road. d.
The refusal to issue the bonds was based
on the ground that the amount was in
excess of the per cent. constitutional
limit affixed to the Indebtedness fmu-
inequalities It was submitted on proof
that S per cent. Of the assessed valua-
ton of the taxable property in the
township is $3.50, or $3.50 less than
the debt incurred. The court dismissed
the suit on that ground, taking the val
uat:on Of 1855, the da,e Of the act of
the Legislature creating the debt. The
court rules: 1.-The act having created
debt obnoxious in amount 10 the pro-
visions of the constitution, the whole
debt is invalid, and it is not competent
for the court to declare so much valid
as comes within the constitutional pro-
vision"
This throws out $4,000 of the bonds
issued in aid Of the Three C's road.

We are glad to chronicle the success

A BIG RLAZE IN GREESTILLE.
The Alliance Warehouse Burned With All
Its Contents.
Special to The State. |

GREENvILLE, S. c., March 2.-The
Farmers Alliance warehouse in this
city was destroyed by fire at II O'Clock
tonight, together with IA bales Of
cotton, fifty tons of guano and other
things. The building was three stories
high, and had been finished and taken
charge of by the alliance about two
months ago. The fire was discovered
in the second story, where the cotton
was stored, and is thought to have
been incen,liary, altough it is strange
how any one could have gotten inside
to start it.
The loss is about $4,000, and is fully
covered by insurance. Every bale OF
cotton is insured for about forty dol
lars. The building was insured for
$4,000, about its full value. The
only things saved were few We
hicles from the cellar. The walls of
the building are standing.

in his Ho:se .Duripg The Absence
OF his Family.
ISpec;al 10 News and Courier.

FLocEScE, Fth. 27.-Belton O'E>all
Townsend, L prominent young lawyer
of this city, well known and CONNECTED
in Charleston, is believed to have been
burned up in his residence to night.
Fire was discovered in the house about
10 o'clock. The house is on the edge Of
town and the fire WAS considerably
advanced when discovered. It was
impossible to search the house thor
oughiy, but every door was found un-
locked, except that Of the room known
to be occupied! b. Townsend, where the
fire originated.
Townsend was secn by neighburs on
the piazza at 6 0 clock n an Intoxicated
condition. His wife and children left
him several days ago and he was alone.
He was 80 years Of age, and considered
very bright. He came here several
years ago from Darlington and had
good c!icntage. II. NJ \.
LATER DEVELO2MENT POINT TO SUI
CiDE.
I'LORENCE| Feb. 2S.-The body Of
Bolton O'Neali Townsend was dis
covered in the ruins OF his residence
about midnight. tEhe engines played
on that part known to 3e his bed room
continuously until the firemen could
90 into the ruins and search for the re-
mains. Ite was discovered burned
almost to q crisp. One arm was raised
above his mead and one kiee was bent
upwards. The left hand and feet We're
completely burned OIL AID the skull
broken. The sight was dreadful.
Coroner Burch was summoned and
took charge Of the body. The jury Of
inquest was inpannelled to-day. The
examination of witnesses showed that
at half-past O'Clock Townsned YVES in
his room on the bed reading. with
pistol under lis mead. The boy who
waited en- him left him there. Neigh
bors noticed that the light went ont in
his room shortly after. Later an eXplo-
sion like pistol shot was heard. and in
a few minutes the flames burst out. Mr.
Theme ran to The house when he heard
the explosion and entered, but he
could not get to WowrseEd's 5 room for
the fire.
Townsend had told friends that he
had carefully considered suicide. His
life was very unhappy. He bought a
pistol several days ago, and later denied
having a pistol at all. Pc told the
dealer not to mention his having bought
it. The conclusion Of the community
is that he set fire to the room, probably
having first saturated everything with
oil, because of the rapid spread Of the
fire, particularly in his room, and then
shot himself. The pistol was found in
the ruins this morning.
The jury agreed this evening upon
the verdict that the deceased came to
bis death from burning up in his house.
He will be buried here tomorrow.
