than an hundred miles olstauG ou Ihe
Wateree. Soon after the evacuation
of Ninety-Six, Lord Rswdon' whom
Greene with the aid of Sumter) was
90 desirous of attacking, retired to
Charleston, leaving Colonel Stewart in
command of his forces then encamped
near the confluence Of the Santee and
Congaree. Here he, in conjunction
with General Patterson, stained the
British name by the execution OF Isaac
Hayne, 20 American officer, as the his
torian says, "under circumstances that
offered no justification even for harsh
ness of treatment" The particulars
I've not room to give, but such was
their cruelty that after granting -
hours respite after his condemnation
without trisl), they told him that
SHOULD Greene offer to e1postulate IN
his favor be would be ordered to in-
mediate execution" Colonel Hayne
promised to show his friends how an
American could die; he ascended the
cart unsupported; commended his In
fant family to the protection OF bis
friends, took an affectionate leave OF
all, and then drew the cap over his
eyes. His execution caused intense in
dignation with Greene and his army.
A proclamation was issued, in which
Greene declared the would retaliate
the murder of Hayne and all such
enormities on British officers that
should fall into his hands" Mean
time Sumter, in obedience to Miss
Geiger's message had Joined him; he
left his last encampment on the Ssntee
and sought the enemy. Crossing the
Wateree and Congaree his forces were
further increased by Marion and others
which made his numbers equal to the
British; but inferior in discipline.
What was lacking in discipline was
made up in determination. He met
the foe at Eutaw Springs, where, after
nearly four hours desperate fighting he
fell back to his watering place, having
taken one Thousand d stand of arms, and
killed, wounded and captured about
one thousand Of Stewards army. The
British General, well knowing his own
loss, and the character of Greene, who,
though he had fallen back, was far
from being whipped, dared not risk
another battle, ont retreated to Char
lesion leaving mapy Of his wounded
and destroying what stores be could
not take.
Thus was South Carolina. relieved
from British and Tory oppression
| which, for two years or more, had
made her Whig inhabitants most
miserable; and leaving fourteen hun
dred mourning widows, besides the
death Of many not married. Greene
had vowed to drive out the enemy or
perish in the attempt, and the Quaker
! General had fulfilled his vow, for no
fighting of consequence took place
there afterwards, the Tories being
| awed into submission. In conclusion,
I leave to the inhaoitants of South
Carolina to determine what credit is
dueto Emily Gelger and General Sum-
tor for this great deliyerance.

The Now Years Novelties for Ladies'.

With the beginning of the year ap'
pear novelties of Russian effects and

the latter being undoubtedly suggested
by a recent revival of the Napoleonic

into literature, on the stage and even IN
art. Thus elegant opera wraps are fire.
quently made with Empire yokes and
voluminous Renaissance sleeves. The
draperies already announced are being
developed into many original effects,
indoor gowns being Influenced by those
of the peplum description. The dress
skirt is becoming wider at the bottom,
and the sleeve also more voluminous.
Bodices at the present moment, are tax
ing all the inventive genius Of the
artist dressmaker by being susceptible
of every conceivable novelty in trim
ming and material. There has never,
also, existed such rags as the present
one for fur and ermine above all. Some
original designs of coliarettes in real
Louis XIII style-drooping at the
shoulders and very fat-are be coming
popular among the new modes. These
various movements indicated in the
toilettes OF the mothers are closely
copied by the fashions in girls dresses
and even in the costumes Of very little
ones themselves. In extracting these
instructive items from the latest Nc
Dowell Fashion Journals we notice
that the handsome publications still
maintain the high standard OF their
former excellence and contain besides
new features of special interest. They
are invaluable for their practical ad-

COl. DOua1QSOu was Cudll l1ou Va VIC
board of control of the experimental
station, and I was thrown much with
him in an official capacity. 1t was 1e-
ported to me, in consequence of several
speeches which I made by invitation,
that Governor Tillman had threatened
to use his little political hatchet upon
my head.
HOW PROF. NEWMAN WAS TREATED.
"Seven members of the board are life
members and six are elected by the leg
islature. Two of these latter, not in
accord with Governor Tillman in poll
tics, and my friends, were not re-elect-
ed. 1t was necessary 10 drop these
two members in order to secure q ma
jority of the board, and prevent an ex'
animation of the charges as I wished.
When the board met, on the 10th of
last January, 7 addressed them let
ter, stating that their secret meeting
had done me great injustice and ask
ing for a thorough investigation. [
was assured by the board that no fault
had been found with my work, either
as professor ,>f agriculture, or as agri.
culturist of the experimental station,
but was not satisfied. Later on, see
ing that I was determined, a few silly
reasons were hatched out, showing the
mean spirit of opposition which was
inspired by prejudice and envy. When
I was finally admitted to the board 1
answered their charges in full and
thorough manner. / charged them
with having acted in very unbecom-
ing manner, and without according
me the commonest courtesy due an
American citizen" .....r 49,. f..
In speaking of the president Of the
college Prof. Newman went on to say
that he secured the Office by election
eering, ana his policy was fraught with
great disaster to the institution. AS q
professor in the college be himself
refused to say anything of the treat
ment which had been accorded him,
and would not allow himself to be inter-
viewed. The president was absolutely
incompetent; he had no idea Of discip-
line and knew more about the flavor Of
his cigar, which he pufed in his Office,
than he did Of the college over which
he presided, and the sole cause Of the
crusade which the president bad made
against him, was the desire to get him
out of the way, and thus rid himself Of
one whose Identification with the col
lege and the station was a matter of
pure jealousy.
Professor Newman, having returned
to Atlanta, where several years Of his
past life were spent, will devote him
self to agricultural employment, and .
large part Of his time will be occupied
in literary work. He left Atlanta in
1883, and since that time, for nearly
eleven years, be has resided in the
States of Alabama and South Carolina.
He says that he has now come back to
Georgia to live. he will make his
home in Edgewood, where he will be
surrounded by large tract Of lsnd,
and will cultivate fruits and flowers
and other products of the field.

DARLINGTON, January 31.-When
Governor Tiliman's letter in reference
to the dispensary law was received by

council was promptly called. Mayor
Dargan at this meeting submitted the

Hon. B. r. Tillnan, Governor and
Chairman State Board of Control,
Columbia, S. G.
Dear Sir: Your communication Of
29th inst, has been received and con-
tents noted. I have carefully read the
Dispensary Act and am familiar with
its several provisions relating to the
powers of mayors and policemen, and
especially with the section to which
YOU have invited my attention. l find
nothing in the Act in question, or in
any othe~ Act Of the Legislature, re-
curing the mayor or the town council
of Darlington to give you or Mr.. J. T.
Kirven satisfactory or other assurance
that We will obey this or any other law.
AS there is nothing in the Act giving
either of you authority to require such
| assurance, and as I am not aware of
any other law requiring me to give, or
YOU or Mr.. J. P. Kirven to exact,
promises as to my contemplated, Off
cial or unofficial intentions, it appears
singular that either or both of you
should allow your respective boards to
| delegate you to exact promise from Oh
| ficials with whose business you have
no concern whatever. am not aware
of the fact, which you have announced
to me by implication, that the mayor
| and town council of Darlington have
violated this particular law or any
/ other.
AS to the Information you say the
| State board of control has received l
know nothing of its source or reliabil-
| ity, as you failed to enlishten me, but
assert that it is incorrect, though in
doing so I am fully conscious Of the
fact that it is not worth my while to
say go to you at this time, as it is very
easy to believe what one wishes to be-
lieve. Yours respectfully,
w. F. DARGAN,
| Mayor Of Darlington, s. c.
! This letter was mailed to Governor
Tillman this morning and leaves no
doubt as to where Darlington's city
council stands. 1t may be interesting
to add just here that the total amount
received by the town treasurer since
the opening of the dispensary aggre'
gates $3S2 s..

We notice that the Sensational
fight is now on in earnest, and that
the friends of Senator Camden and
Mr.. Chiffon are laying their wires
for the purpose of manipulating the
nominations for the members of the
legislature. We are sorry to see
this fight, it is much more important
to retain Democratic control of the
State, and to elect good and intelli-
gent men to the legislature, than it
is to send either Senator Camden or
Mr.. Chiffon to the United States

The Love Feast held at the Meth
odist church under the auspices of
the Epworth League last Tuesday
evening a week ago was great sue
cess. Although the night was stormy
good audience was present The
Young people, first distributed bread
and water; after which the President
Mrs Day, spoke upon the history
and meaning of the service. Then
followed spirited singing and a large
number gave their religious expert
ence. The pastor was heard to de
clare that old fashioned Methodists,
were to be found among the young
people Of the church.
The exercises of the Epworth
League in the NJ f. Church on Sun
day evening we're very beautiful and
impressive. The leader of course
was Mrs. Day. The exercises con-
sisted of dialogues, recitations, adj
dresses and appropriate music. A
very beautiful talk was given by
Prof Wiley and the decidedly clever
manner in which Mrs Day asked
for the collection brought gener-
Gus response. The object lesson was
to illustrate the parable of the light
that should not be put under bush
ell, but allowed to shed its brightness
on the world The whole was illus
trated by a large number of little
folks each hearing candle march
ing into the auditorium, the electric
lights having previously been turned
off, the illustration showing by a
small candle the influence of child
and large bright one the greater
work older people were able to do
The house was crowded and many
of the auditors went away with some
thing new to think over.
