AGRICULTURAL HALL SOLD.
1t Goes at Auction to a CoIumb bian for
Si6,1G0.
The State, 2nd.

The Agricultural Hall property has
at last gone from the possession OF the
State. 1t was sold at public auction
yesterday by Auctioueer Levin for the
Clemson College trustees, and while it
brought more than was expected it
did not hring anything like its valu..
The bidding was lively from the start
and it ran up to the SIG, 100, when it
waS Knocked down to Mr.. w. H.
Lyles, as attorney. Who he purchased
it for he declines to say. 1t is generally
believed, however, that it was bought
il for the Land and Investment Conn
pany, fer future use as the Headquarters
for the three million dollar bank.
The property is exceedingly valuable
in more ways than one, and is at pre-
sent occupied by the Zouaves, the otli-
ces of the State Railroad Commission
and the State Alliance Exchange.
The State was right when it said
that the Exchange would eudeavor to
secure it. Manager Duncan ran the
figures up to Sl6,l50 aud then turned
round to speak to some one when the
hammer fell. Thus was it lost to the
Exchange.
A well known Alliance man com-
planned after the sale that it did Mt
look right for Columbia capitalists TO
gobble up and hold all valuable pro-
perty for large figures when so much
other money from outside was willing
TO come here.

By what authority did the Execu-
tie Committee direct that all clubs or
ganize on the same day? If this com
mittee is to take charge of everything
there will be little use Of county exec
utive committee. The State Com NIT
tee, as at present constituted, is fully
competent to run the whole machine.
They don't even need the assistance of
tue people.
The question may arise after awhile,
however, as to who is boss of the ma
chine,-the present ring and coterie of
.ofhce-holders or the people? Unless
we very much mistake the spirit and
intelligence of the people, they will no
more be willing to submit to dictation
from the Tillman faction and ring than
they were or would be from any other
set. There is more evidence of dicta-
ton and bossism from the present re-
gime than we have ever seen before,
and the people will find it out by and
by. The great difference is the present
office holding set seem to claim they
are the people.

"There are those whose one mission
in the world seems to be fault-flndlng.
They spend their days in hunting for
something to chew up; goats browsing
on morning glories."
We have often been impressed with
the truth of the above. How easy it IS
for so,1e people to be always finding
fault. Nothing seems to please them.
But then it is a very easy matter to
find faults. Most of Us are full Of them
and none entirely free from them and
it is 80 much easier to find the errors
than the virtues. Errors like straws
on the surface flow" How much bet
ter it would be however if we would
search for the good deeds in our neigh
Dor and rid ourselves of the faults that
are in Us as far as possible. 1t would
help people to be and to do better if we
would commend their good deeds
occasionally and not be so ready to al
ways he finding fault with other peo-
ple-suppose we try it.

Captain Darlington Desires to b. Colonel
ofThis States Troops.
Governor Tiliman received the fol-
lowing letter yesterday morning from
Captain Darlington, commanding the
Seventh Cavalry, L. S. A.
'lf the daily press reports accurately
the condition of the situation existing
between our own government and that

such a force available it will he neces-

that South Carolina will respond; and
if the State should muster any troops

furnishes any cavalry; If not, OF in

TO this the Governor replied as fol-
lows:

mlring the spirit which caused you to

RESULT OF TIE HARD TIhES.
The Land Mining Phosphate Companies
Suspend.
1.-The State 2d.l


The stringency in the money market
and the general financial depression
which is etfacting the farmers directly
and through them the railroads and
other businesses, is at last striking at
3 the head centre of all.
Several times already in mentioning
the bad condition Of the railroads, the
fact that the purchase Of fertilizers by
the farmers had absolutely ceased has
been referred to.
Last night Il well known phosphate
man, just from the mines, said that
nearly all the large land mining COM
panies had suspended operations in
this State, and only those which had
Italian miners employed under contract
for 4 certain specified time were still at
work. These companies, he says have
profited by last years losses. and have
decided to reduce he supply until the
demand IS equal to it, One company
that mined 10000 tons last year, has
taken out but IS 600 this year. and can
find Il market. for only one-lhird Of
it.
The river mining companies are still
at work but with snort forces, and the
time is not tar distant when they, too,
will temporarily suspend. The foreign
market is in as bad a fix as the home,
and the foreign farmer is equally as
bad off.
He regards the outlook as very dis
couraging.

Resolutions were passed at the meet
ing Of cotton growers recently held in
Augusta to reduce the acreage in cot
ton. If resolutions will do any good
there will be considerably less cotton
grown this year than formerly. The
main thing for the farmers ofthis State
to do is first to raise all the corn and
meat and flour and other things needed
on the farm to supply their own de-
mands, and then to raise all the cotton
they can. \ farmer said to us the
other day, it paid to raise cotton and
you could pay debts with it and make
some money, prorjded you had plenty
Of corn behind it. That is the thing
needed-plenty Of corn behind your
cotton. Then YOU can have good stock,
plenty OF meat, and what cotton is
grown can be counted rs so much mo-
ney to the farmer.

The Greenville News short time ago

The Greenville News short time ago
gave an acclaim ofreoicing that it had
gotten through with one days work
without mentioning the name of Gov.
Tillman. The State, Columbia, was
not to be outdone, so on Monday it
really issued one paper that had no
reference to him. Well, this was re-
ally remarkable and We congratulate
our contemporaries on their success
in this direction. 1t is hardly possible
for a weekly to rival these dai!ies in
this respect. Governor Tillman has
at least been the best advertised Cover
nor South Carolina has had in long

There was rather peculiar murder,
or rather killing, in Memphis the other
day. Miss Freda Ward and Miss
Alice Mitchell were very dear friends
and schoolmates. The attachment was
apparently very strong, and they said
they intended to marry each other.
Miss Wards married sister concluded
that this strange attachment should be
broken, and forbade her sister having
anything more to do with Miss Mitch
ell. This was more than Miss Mitchell
could stand. So one day last week she
got in her carriage with some friends
and drove up behind Miss Ward and
her sister who were walking. When
she got near them she stopped the car
riage, got out and pursued Miss Ward
with drawn razor and cut her throat
from the effects Of which she died.
The killing has caused sensation.
Both the young ladies belong to re-
spectacle families. Miss Mitchell, with
her friend Miss Lille Johnston, who
was in the carriage with her, have been
arrested on the charge of murder and
are in Jail. Miss Johnston pleads not
guilty, aud Miss Mitchell insanity.

UNION, S. c., Jap.--W. H. Pool, a
merchant Of this town, was arrested
this evening but afterwards released on
bond in the sum ofS500. Pool is sus-
pected of having set fire to his store
last Thursday night and was to-day

be closed his store about dark and went
to his home. In less than half an hour
after he left the store some negroes
passing by saw smoke in the building.
There was so much smoke that no
blaze could be seen. The door was
broken in and those who first entered
the building say that they could smell
kerosene oil burning. 1t was found
that the office desk, the end of the
counter and the plasteriug overhead
were burning all at the same time. An
oil tank was sitting within ten feet of
the desk. The fire was quickly extin-
guished. No goods were burned, but
they were very badly smoked. 1t is a
mystery how the lathing overhead
caught fire from ;he small blaze of the
