SCHOOL, NOTES.

Furnished by County supt. Barker That
are Interesting.
The people of Book are to be con-
graduated on the completion of their
nice new school house and their being
able to retain the services of Miss
Annie Kerrick. She is a faithful earn
est worker and especially successful in
assisting foreigners-not only to speak
but to read we'll in our language which
is a difficult thing to accomplish not
only for pupils but teacher. Her way is
original but effective and the writer
decided to avail herself of it in other
schools where such difficulties have to
be overcome.
The Germany schools were visited
the other day by the writer. Good
work is being done in each school.
Miss Selhorn in charge of No. 1, and
Mr.. Scheyer of No. 2. Though there
was not a large attendance in the
latter school we listened to some good
r%ecitations notably one in spelling
which is so often neglected, but re-
minding n of the old saying, that
Though there is no merit in spelling
we'll, it is a great disgrace to spell ill.,"
In Miss Selhorn's school they were
making preparations for Arbor day, in
the way of singing speaking, &C., and
a dear little tree in a pail all ready to
be transferred to mother earth with
appropriate exercises on the coming
day. Speaking of Arbor Day reminds
one of how many were disappointed in
holding their out door exercises by the
glorious rain which prevented.
A hasty call at Foreston school,
rooms showed some fine, blackboard
decorations, which the teachers proud
ly informed us were the work of the pu-
pills. One picture of "a little boy fish

ance.
Miss Bessie Bacon is giving good
satisfaction in No. 9, though it is her
first school and early in the term.
Look out for School Notes next week.
From an occasional murmur we hear
in the air we think a school entertain
ment is likely to come off ere long that
will be worth attending.
Just look in at Miss Huse's school,
room windows as you pass if you want
to see window gardening where it has
been made a success, and go in and
listen to the little people talk and see
their drawings if you want to see how
natural study is made a success by the
wee girls and boys under the skillful
instruction of that incompatible. pri-
mary teacher of whom we are all so
proud.
Though there was the best of feeling
between Mrs. Barker and the little
folks of the Second primary, yet the
little loyal hearts beat gladly and many
little faces wreathed with smiles when
Miss Bloomingdale was able to be well
coined back after her enforced rest.
We, the girls and boys of the high
school, though perfectly satisfied with
Miss Glidden's administration of school
affairs, and believing her to be a host
of herself-equal to any emergency
yet were glad to again see the kindly
face of Professor Simpson in the school
room after his enforced absence on &C
count of sickness. If we could have
u way there would be no more days
of suffering for our genial teacher.

Monday, was a gala day among the
farmers at Milaca, who wanted seeds
for gardens and farms. Corn, oats,
peas, beans and potatoes were dis
tributed to the needy n II. R.
Mallette and A. j. Barrett were kept
busy attending to the proper distribu-
ton of seeds. One Thousand bushels of
potatoes should have been sent. but for
some reason, only about one-ffth that
amount was forwarded. Mr.. Mallette
is looking after the potatoes and will
probably get the full amount.

Tobacco Booming.

DARLINGTON, Aug. 22.-The tobacco
''break" advertised to take place IN
Darlington came of today and exceed
ed the expectations of the most san
guine. Despite the rain which came
down in torrents yesterday, late IN the
afternoon long lines Of wagons were
seen winding their way to the two
large new warehouses. On the floor
of the warehouses everybody WAS bnsy
putting the different grades of tobacco
in piles in long rows extending the
whole length of the floor. This morn
inc other farmers came in from Sum
ter, Clarendon, Williamsburg and
Florence, till at noon when the sales
began, there was no room on either
floor for another pile. There were on
the floor of the Darlington warehouse
about 900 plies and on the loor of the
Planters warehouse about 500 piles,
aegregating on the two tlours about
10000 pounds. The tobaccos sold to-
day were mostly trimmings ard is con-
sidered by experts remarkably good.
The tobacco sold up to this time
brought ST, $40, SIS, $25, $50 and $50
per hundred weight, and one pile, be-
longing to Mr.. w. +. Dargan, was
knocked down for $91 per hundred
weight. There is no way Of finding
out at this time the average price, but
it will exceed the average of any prev
isus break. Altogether there were
four auctioneers selling, they did not
finish this afternoon the first ware
house. AS soonEas this is finished the
buyers will 60 over to the other house
and it will take nearly all day tomor-
row to get through selling thetobacco
on the floor now. When the sale be
gan this morning our streets were al
most deserted, all including a large
number of ladies, went down to the
warehouses to witness the sales. The
indications now are Darlington will
sell the largest number of pounds sold
IN South Carolina. The farmers from
the other counties are highly pleased
with the sales of their tobacco and
with the kindness they received from
the citizens of that place.

& Short Honeymoon.

Rock Hull. Aug. 22.-Whether at
tempted suicide or accident IS not
known, but there is some excitement
over the fact that young man by
the name of Davis shot himself this
morning. One week ago Davis was
married to Miss Evans, who lives on
Hampton street. At the time Of the
marriage the brides health was such
that they could not leave her home as
intended. l understand that they had
intended leaving today for trip to
the home of his relatives. The shoot
ing occurred at about q o'clock this
morning IN his room anG the weapon
used was 3Scalibre Smith y Wesson.
He is shot through the right temple,
and there is. no chance for recovery,
though at this hour he is still alive.
Everything points to suicide. Davis
died this afternoon. The verdict OF
the coroner's jury was suicide. State.

A Strange Case.

SPARTASBuRG, Aug. 22.-Ihe case
Of Mr.. Brown, OF this county. IS at
tracing more or less attention: His
atlliction is rather peculiar and IS OF
more than usual interest. Mr.: Brown
is farmer, and his atfllctlon IS a
source by great deal Of annoyance
to him. He drops off to sleep while
plowing in a field, talking with
friends, and even while eating. The
sleep continues for some time. Mr..
Brown eats as heartily as any man,
and his bodily health is good, but the
desire to slumber oyercomes every
thing else. 1t is said that he has been
known to fall asleep while driving
along in a buggy. His strange attic,
ton cannot accounted for.-Herald

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 22.-An
elopement followed by the murder OF
the bridegroom is reported from Mont
gomery county. The 16-year-old
daughter of a farmer named Hallbur-
ton went to prayer meeting, where she
met young man named Hite, who
had been forbidden to visit her by her
parents. They eloped and were mar,
ried, but the father of the girl pursued
the couple and killed the husband.

THE REPORTER'S CARD.


At the request of The State I wrote
the observations on the management
of Clemson College to which the above
communication has reference. The
young men whose names are annexed
to the communication are to be COM
mended for their zeal in taking up
cudgels in defense of their alma ma
ter, and 1 will not attempt to resent
through the press the harsh terms
they use
Personally have nothing but the
kindest feelings, for the President, and
I would be delighted to see the institu-
ton itself grand success. But do
know that students and professors
have told me that President Craighead
was inefficient and the mechanical de-
partment was "humbug and a farce
and the agricultural department very
little better.
do know, further, that Treasurer
Sloan told me that no tuition fees had
been paid this year, but the receipts
from other sources were about S99. Zoo;
and that when ] asked one of the trus-
tees why the students did not work the
crops instead Of the thirty convicts
kept for that purpose he replied be-
cause there was no money to pay the
boys. l also know that Capt. Fuller
told me that his books showed only 297
boys at the Institution now, and that
the Presidents report on Oct. 81, 1884,
showed the enrolment for the year to
have been 6:3}5; and the treasurer's re-
port at the same time showed S102,
515.49 to have been expended during
the year. The receipts were $l17, G52.-
Il. | have not the proof at hand to dis
prove the denial of the young men that
about eighteen month ago students
signed a petition to the trustees asking
for the removal of President Craig
head, but must say that I am aston
ished at the denial of what they ac-
knowledge to have been report cir
culated. For further vindication
from the charge of false misrepresen-
tationa I throw myself ''on God and
my country. +. H. MCMAsTER.

CLEMSON COLLEGE.
The Charge OF Mismanagcment Denied by
the Boys.


an article entitled Bad Manage
ment," in which the condition anc
management of some OF the different
departments of Clemson College are
basely misrepresented. We, com
mittee representing the junior class
take this opportunity OF refuting those
statements which we know TO be un
true.
In the first place, the author of the
article seems to be utterly ignorant Of
the true condition of the college, and
takes for truth the statements of some
unprincipled person prejudlced against
the authorities. He also makes state
ments, said to be subStantlated by
members of the faculty, which are
entirely without foundation.
We cannot believe that any member
they faculty made such statements
which he knew to be untrue. Can the
reporter name him?
One of the first statements Is that
the students petitioned the board OF
trustees about eighteen months ago
to remove President Craighead. We
acknowledge that such report was
circulated about that time, but it
was untrue. No such petition was
ever made. Can the reporter prove
this statement. The cadets have moth
ing to complain Of in President
Craighead. He has always proved
himself to be their best friend.
The author says: The mechanical
department is under the management
of the most incompetent instructors
of any department of the college.
Professor Tompkins, the head of this
department, is considered one of the
best electrical and mechanical engi-
neers in the United States, having
been selected as one of the judges of
the electrical display at the Worlds
Fair. The members Of the mechani-
cal sections are perfectly satisfied
with the instruction received from
him. The systematic management of
the mechanical department is unex-
celled. His assistants are fully COM
petent to discharge their respective
duties. As to the joke of the bolt and
the screw threads, we acknowledge
that one cadet of the junior class, af-
ter a months trial, was unable to cut
screw threads on bolt. This same
cadet was continually seen with
your reporter during his stay at
Clemson College. The instructions of
the mechanical department can culti-
vate, but cannot manufacture brains.
So we are not surprised at any in
formation the reporter may have re
ceived from such source.
As to the agricultural department,
those of US who have attended lee
lures under both Professor Newman
and Professor McGee can see no ma
terial difference in their respective
courses of instruction. Both have
been entirely satisfactory to the
cadets.
In regard to the mess hall, there
has been no complaint among the boys
as whole. Major Darlington, in his
annual report, says: II inspected the
mess hall. Ny coming was unexpect-
ed, but 1 found the food excellent in
quality and quantity"
We are sorry to have to contradict
any statement of the press about
Clemson College, but we cannot al
low such Misrepresentation to go un-
answered, Signed,
+. G. Tompkins, Chairman.

We Will Have the Fair.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 22.-Col:
Thos. W. Holloway, the genial and
indefatigable secretary of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society,
was in the city yesterday, and gave to
the press thefollowing address, which
contains the gratifying announce
ment that all obstacles have been ov-
ercome and the fair will be held in
this city on the usual dates in Novem-
Der. This will be pleasant news to
thousands all over the State, and they
may rest assured that Columbia will
be prepared to give them a hearty
welcome and will do her part towards
furnishing them plenty OF attractive
amusements:
To the People ofSouth Carolina:
1t gives us great pleasure to say that
the State Agriculturala and Mechonlcal
Society is in condition to carry on
the great work in which it has been
engaged looking to the advancement
of the agricultural and mechanical IN
terests of our State, and that the US;
ual fair will be held in Columbia No
yember 1l-15th under the brightest au-
spices.
All money arrangements have been
made for paying premiums and other
expenses. The railroads have acceded
to ourrequest; and have given us the
rate of one cent per mile, counting
both ways, for three days. Excursion
trains will be run during the time so
that it will be convenient and cheap
for the greater part of Our people to
attend.
The revision Of the premium list is
in the hands of a committee appointed
for that purpose, and will soon :
ready for distribution. 1t is highly
probable that some fine racing WI ,e
witnessed in addition to other attract
i've features
The last two fairs were as full and
equal in all respects in point of the
number and excellence of exhibits as
any preceding fairs, though more
slimly attended, because of excessive
railroad rates. All of these draw backs
having been satisfactorily adjusted,
there IS no reason why this fair should
not be as successful as any heretofore
held. Attend the fair, and encourage
us with your presence and assistance
in this great enterprise.
Yours truly, Thos. J Moore,

Il would like to interview you in

II am willing all times to give to

are never secret. From the very be-
ginning the Board of Trustees ad-

Fort Hill such plant for the College
as would best secure the results aimed
at. The first of these results was to
reduce the cost of education and place
it in the reach of every boy IN the

Not Murphy, but O'Morchoe.

England has done many wrongs to
Ireland, but one of the worst of them
has only just come to light. Tt seems
that we have stolen from the Irish the
ancient name of O'Morchoe and substi-
tuted for it base English counterfeit in
the shape of Murphy" At last one of
the family, the Rev. Thomas Arthur
MacMurrough Murphy, rector of Killer
nan, has determined to have back the
ancient family property. He now adver-
tises through the press that he has, for
and on behalf of himself, his children,
and descendants, renowned, relin-
guished and abandoned my said newer
or Anglicized, but hitherto always by
me used, name of Murphy" and that
instead thereof he revives his ancient
and true name of O'Morchoe Long may
he live to rejoice in the recovery of his
lost property Probably when once they
realize that they are only Anglicized
'Morchoes, we shall have the whole of
the great Murphy family throughout the
United Kingdom, to say nothing of the
colonies and the United States, follow
ing the lead of the Rev. Thomas Arthur
MacMurrough. There is humble arti-
Gle of diet (also Anglicized) which I
have heard spoken of as murphy.
Ought we to call that an O'Morchoe
too?-London Truth.

Risings In Macedonia.

In most cases ''rjS1ngS in MacedOnia"
are the work of sympathiZing OF rest
less outsiders, who organize bands of
Christian brethren. These crusaders
cross the frontiers, are stunned like the
pest by the bulk of the wretched people
and are ultimately cut down by the
Turks, Pomaks or Arnauts, or else
driven back whence they came. No
doubt it does occur once in awhile that
some dastardly crime which only q
Turkish Mohammedan can conceive and
execute causes the blood of the most
phlegmatic to boil over and drives the
victim to Stay his torturer then and
there and execute an Indian war dance
around his corpse. Such man has for
feited his life, and the utmost he can
hope for is to sell it dearly. He fees,
therefore, to the mountains or the
woods and gradually gathers other out
laws around him who are as desperate
as himself. This gang lives thereafter
for the sole purpose of executing the
wild justice known as revenge, the mad
dening thirst for which occasionally
drives them to the commission of crimes
akin to cannibalism. But these are the
exceptions.
Take them all in all, the Christian
population cf Macedonia is submissive,
industrious, frugal and patient to a
fault. The Turks themselves frequently
admit and admire their excellent quail
ties and never neglect to profit by them.
A high Ottoman official lately assured
me that the Bulgarians in Macedonia
were very loyal, thrifty, submissive
subjects, of whom the porte has reason
to be proud, "and," he naively added,
it is a calumny to affirm that we have
the slightest reason to be dissatisfied
with them. If left alone by Bulgaria
and Servian agitators, we and they
could live in peace and harmony for
ever. ''-Contemporary Review.

calls very we'll the first elephant ever

beast, Old Bet He went to see her
when boy in Portland, somewhere be-
tween 1915 and 1890. The most inter-
esting part of General Dow's reminis-
cence is how Old Bet died. According
to his recollection, she was shot on a
highway somewhere near Alfred, in
York county, by a farmer who professed
to be indignant because of the amount
of money her owners were taking out of
the state. Maine was then perhaps with

The Sorrowful Jester.

A serious and sorrowing writer has been
lamenting 'the decadence of humor, !"
which he finds noticeable even in our
own comic papers, The "even'' in this
case strikes us as misplaced. Comic papers
generally are noticeable for their deficiency
of humor and ''our own have so over
worked the small stock of the article that
exists in the world at any one time that
when they do discover a joke, or an alleged
joke, they Immediately run off and copy
right it to keep it all to themselves. The
truth is, comic paper can hardly be 9TH
erwise than solemn. since humor is it's Sc
rious business. Genuine humor must have
its occasion, and occasions for htimor of a
kind that can be pictorially presented do
not occur every day. When they do occur,
the chances are that some newspapers will
strike them before the comic weeklies have
q chance The political cartoonist, who is
their main reliance, can expect to attract
attention for only few months every four
years, and for the rest of the time his Of
forts to be funny are SO obvious as to be
painful. philadelphia Times

how she is fed. In the rich, wet, low
land pastures of Holland the Holstein-
Friesian cattle took their rise, and there
they have been bred for centuries. The
climate is not so severe as the American
one The result is that in Holland a
big, luxuriant animal is produced with
a capacity for getting away with food
that won Id seem appalling to the owner
of smaller, mountain bred COWS.
Take this same Holstein and put her
in mountainous region, where the
grass is sparser, the climate moro Sc
we're, and where she must rustic and
pick her living among rocks and billy
paths. She would change SO utterly in
several generations that one would
scarcely recognize her as belonging to
the same breed, except perhaps by her
color In America in a drier region,
with less luxuriant growth of grass,
the Dutch cow might shrink in her mil TX
after time, but it would probably be
richer in butter fat.
