Ferguson.WiIliams College.

The scholastic term Of the Ferguson-Wil.
nams College was ended last week by public
exercises in the Court House. The exercises
afforded the best testimonial Of the excellence
OF the work which is being done in this Col.
lege, inc gave the best evidence Of the rapid
trid which the colored people are making
along the educational lines. The music and
the elocution were particularly deserving Of
comment, while the enunciation and the pro.
duction In the origin essays would have done
credit to a more pretentious college. Presi
dent Williams and Mrs. Williams have done
q wonderful work in educating their race. In
raising the standard OF colored citizenship
their influence has not been equalled.

United States Senator.

Many Of the newspapers are naming choice
candidates for United States Senator al the
coming primary.
The Press and Banner at present stands for
McLaurin. reserving the right to change our
mind. McLsurin seems to be not only the
most available man., but appears to be the
most suitable. This newspaper is 'or protec'
ton, and at this time would support no candi.
date who would not make all proper effort to
secure for the South her share Of the advan'
tages of a protective tariff.
Democratic or not, we think the man who
would refuse to secure all possible advan'
tages for the South is no true representative
OF Dixie.

"Crossed Bats

Correspondents will please omit the use of
the above sentence. If 1t be desired to write

Another thing. Don't make any filings at
any body as to the conduct of tie game, even

An account Of a baseball game has to be
something out of the ordinary, If 1t is TO be
interesting to the average reader, and the In
lection Of slurs and filings at one side, or crow

might otherwise be interesting enough.

Ihe Adjutsnt and Inspector General of the
army and navy of South Carolina gets a ere
complendation for ~reprimand." One private
soldier must be discharged and another must
be reprimanded. Colonel Jones is almost no
where is the scrape.
The Governor declines to "~reprimand" an
officer who receives his commission from SO
high q source as the people. The Legislature
will no doubt be asked to conclude the farce
as to Watts.
According to all the rules OF justice there is
precedent for not in1icting a greater punish
ment upon one OF the followers than 10 I'M
posed upon the leader, or leaders, In the evil
doing.
1t appears as clear as day to us that Colonel
Jones Is responsible for the trespass upon the
grounds and that General Watts brought on
the difficulty by ordering the troops 70 occupy
the grounds then held by the ball players.
The resultant blows were the direct effect OF
Watts's action, and the fact that the private
soldiers did what they did was merely an in.
cident.
Another matter: Without knowing one
word OF military law, we believe the Governor
GAC6cOSu JIG dutlOllLy WdCa AO =
vate Fishburne to be dismissed from the SER
vice. The military Is the worst form of des
potism, or tyranny, but even in that system
the rights OF the private soldier are carefully
guarded.
It occurs to US thai this soldier. If 1t were
desired to punish him by dismissal, should
have had charges preferred against him be-
fore q Court Martial. II found guilty, then 1t
might have been proper for the Governor to
approve the findings.
But the Governor has no right 10 sit as
judge, jury and executioneer. The discharge
of Private Fishburne, without being put upon
trial, is a greater offence against right and
justice than the whole affair about which so
much has been written.
If the Governor %withholds all punishment
from the Commissioned officers, we fail TO see
how he can justify himself In inf1icting the
~severest punishment upon a private soldier
who was merely the instrument in the bands
Of those who are too high in authority to be
even "~reprimanded."
If the Governor thought to placate Charles
ton by leniency oward their favorite Adju-
tant and Inspector General, the act will hard
ly benefit him with other people OF the State.
While it Is true that Charleston gave Gen.
eral Watts about fve.sixths OF her vote, yet
we believe that the City by the Sea cares very
little about him. They wouldn't mind 1t a
bit, If he were "reprlmanded."

LOWER HoRsEHEAn NOTES.

On account of SO much wet weather
the farmers r getting behind with
their spring work.
Robert Drain came down last Mon
day after the potatoes that he raised
last year on the Cannon Fisher place.
The literary has closed for the season
at the Phillips school house.
We are all glad to hear from 'Cy-
clone" again. We were beginning to
think that he had forgotten us since
he has located a gold mine.
What is the matter with u Smith
wick correspondent? We are afraid
that he will need looking after.
Real estate has taken a boom inthese
parts. Last Thursday Jim Bean and
VIM. Henderson each located OH the
same claim, and after a few warm
words they each started for Hot
Springs to make their filing. Each
took his best horse and rode like mad.
They kept in sight of each other dur
ing the 20 miles ride, each whipping
and squirting his horse to it's utmost
speed. You.will never hear Sheridan's
ride mentioned after this. Henderson
beat Bean to the court house and got
his filings recorded four minutes
ahead of Bean. They each filed and
the clerk sent their filings off in the
same envelope. They are now each
building Il house and breaking prairie
on the claim. WH1RLw1ND.

Angelo Gerard, a student of last
year, was up to see us one day this
week.
The game of ball between the AGA
denies and the public school resulted
in a score of s to 9 infavor of the aca-
denies.
President Lymer has been very busy
this week moving into the presidents
cottage, in addition to his regular
heavy work.
The new Philomathean officers were
installed last Saturday night and the
president was quite thoroughly init
ated into the pleasures of his office.
Remember that the college boys are
going to give an entertainment that
will drive dull care away next Satur-
day night and that you are invited to
come and see what the boys can do
when they try.
PUPILS PIANO RECITAL.
The chapel was filed at last Monday
nights recital. The program was an
excellent one and was given almost
entirely by the younger me- sers of
the music department. The playing
of Misses Mcdonald, Jennings and
Silkenson was very good, as it always
is. Piano solos we're rendered by
Misses Kridelbaugh, Lymer,. Ames,
Boomer, Cross and Carter, besides that
of Miss Mcdonald. This was the first
appearance of many of these pupils
and the way in which they performed
was a splendid testimonial to the quail
ity of their instructors work. Miss
Smithson and Prof. Boicourt opened
the program with a fine duet from
Scharwenka. Miss Kridelbaugh sings
beautifully, whether in a solo or a.
duet. Her solo, Sweetheart" was
very we'll done, both in the first sing
ing and in the encore. The duet,n
IT'LL We Meet Again." by Misses Stan
ley and Kridelbaugh was splendid,
their voices harmonizing perfectly, and
here again the singers had to respond
to the applause with some lines from
the same song.

before vas her delicate touch, keen ap-
probation of the composers thou sht
and sympathetic expression, all COM
bined with a perfect technique, shown
in this lovely piano piece and more
than ever did her hearers realize what
a great player she is. She responded
to the encore by playing a composition
of her own that proved her to be not
only a rare performer, but also a fine
composer. 1t "a almost as fine as
'Last Hope" and more praise than
this we cannot give.
