A WORTHY INSTITUTION.
SOUTH CAROLINA MILITARY ACADEMY

SOUTH CAROLINA MILITARY ACADEMY
 WARMLY PRAISED.
 CHARLESTON, 5. O., July l1.-One of the issues in the recent political campaign in this state has been the educational institu tions which have been supported by the state. It was feared at one time that in the general work of reconstruction the South Carolina military academy might be upset, but Governor TilInan and the legislature have not withheld state aid from this in- stitution, and as the report of Lieut.. Col. c. H. Burton, inspector general of the United stases s ssmIX they % have aes aesej jps. been good judgment. In this report, after set ting forth ill detail the physical condition of the academy, Colonel Burton says:
 'sThe discipline, military instruction, bearing and general appearance fthe ca dets, the general care and condition of arms and equipments and the entire mill itary aspect of the military department of this academy admits of no comparison with any of the colleges with which l have had experience. It is so superior in all its methods, scope, appointments and its dis tinctive military features that it must be classed alone, and can only be compared to our national military academy. In the set up, military bearing, cohesion, and drill of all kinds in the infantry tactics, this battalion equals any organization in the army and is but little short of that su- perb excellence generally believed to be possessed by the national cadets.'
 After extolling the work and merits of Lieutenant Jenkins the military instructor assigned To the academy by the war depart ment, Colonel Burton, says: "The college merits the best support the government can give to the most advanced of the civil in- stitutions where the art of war is taught, for the reason that the nation receives from it results corresponding to it's greatest de- | rnand ,,

plocard, upon which was printed in red ink the following notice:
 This is an interstate train, carrying United States mail, interstate passengers and interstate express freight.''
 It Is only simple and plain notice. It does not say 'Keep off the grass, - Don't tread on men or anything of the kind, but it carries meaning.
 An AGE HERALD reporter noticed these placards posted on passenger train yes- ing to them asked the engineer, "What does this meanf'' to which he replied, That's the kind of people we are.'
 FIRST BLOOD.
 The first blood of the strike flowed yes- terday morning. It was the result of a cutting affray which grew out of discus sion of matters pertaining 10 the strike, and it took place at the side door of the Stag saloon, on Third avenue, near Twentieth street. 0. k. Brautley was cut in the left side of the face by George Ogle. The gash was large one and very painful, and bad it been 1 inch lower seri- ous results would have followed.
 Brantley is a target man at Twenty fourth street, and was talking to some men at the Stag saloon. The epithet of 'scab' was applied to one, followed by one more wrath-excting from an other. At this juncture Ogle drew his knife and plunged it into Brantley's face. Brantley's wound was attended to and Ogle arrested by Officer Waldrop. Oge was taken to the police station and after wards sent to the county jail. While Brantey's wounds are painful they are in no wise dangerous.
 AROUND CAMP.
 Nothing of interest transpired among the soldiers yesterday. The general routine of camp life was observed, and at 6:30 dress parade, commanded by Capt. w. A. Orr, Second regiment, was held.
 The guard for today will be as follows Camp guard--Officer of the day, Capt. G. F. Hart, Company L, Second regiment. Officer of the guard, Lieutenant Hogan, Company L, Secoud regiment.
 Depot guard-Officer of the day, Capt. J. H. Hagan, Company D, First regimr nt.
 Senior officer of the guard, Lieut.. T. Erwin, Company F First regiment.
 Junior officer of the guard, Lieut.. P. H. Long, Company E, Second regiment.
 Several of the soldiers report having been stoned while outside the lines yesterday. They say the rocks were thrown by small boys, but that in every instance they were urged to do so by crowds of men.
 After dress parade yesterday afternoon the soldiers were marched through several of the streets of the city.

 The Reggie tobacco factory and other houses at Djouvali have been seriously damaged, eRfd several persons have been killed in that quarter.
 The shock was very severe at the Princess island. At Prinkipo the Orthodox church and many elegant houses and villages were destroyed. In Constantinople four houses fell and number of others were damaged. Five people were killed. At Galatea ten were killed and great damage was done to property.
 At the village of Stefano the Catholic church and masonry fell, buryng eleven persons beneath it's ruins. From nearly all the villages in the vicinity come similar reports. Public buildings generally es- capped.

 No English or American victims are re- ported from any part of the earthquake shaken district. Many houses have col- lapsed, including foreign villas in Soythe and Missi, where four persons were killed.

POLITICS AND A REVIVAL.

ROANOKE, July 10.-Many of our citizens went to Daviston yesterday to hear Ala bama's next governor, Hon. W. O. Oates, address the people of that community. Colonel Oates' speeches in middle and east Alabama are telling powerfully in favor of the democratic party. The strongest men in this section of the state are being put in the field for the legislature. It is confl- dently thought that the canvass of such men as Col. w. A. Handy will win all these border counties for the straight ticket.
 Rev. Dr. Parker of your city, after ten days with us, leaves for his home today. He completely won the hearts of our people by his earnest and forcible preaching.
 Rain is abundant and crops are tine.
