August II, 1897.

Tho undersigned is well pleased with
Clinton. Everything is so quiet and
serene. No dnrkics lonfing on the
str 1t corners at night, for the stores
cl",o curly through the week and on
Saturday nights tho most OF them arc
closed by 8 o'clock, while none Of them
remain open later than 10 o'clock.
First Ncwbcrrian: "t.vcrything you
sec here in Clinton is IL bicycle"
Second Ncwbcrrian, dryly: "Y0ndcr
comes pretty woman; she ain't no BIZ
cycle. | know"
We took tramp OF few miles into
the country last Saturday evening.
The good roads and fine farming lands
were among the greatest attractions.
We said In our last letter that we
would say something about the Clinton
on Th0rnwcll Orphanagc the next time
we wrote, but as our time is very linn
lied We will have TO be brief. The or
phanagc Is q Presbyterian institution.
In 1872 plan for this Orphanagc was
adopted by the church session and aD-
proved by the Synod of South Carolina.
The first contribution was 80 cents,
given by an orphan boy of Laurcns
County. The corner stone OF the first
building was laid in May, 1874. There
arc now fourteen buildings, the major
ity OF which arc built Of granite from
The orphanaGc quarry. The orphan
age Is worth in lands, buildings furni-
turc, library, etc, about $lO0, 900. The
buildings arc all situated In beautiful
natural grove OF oaks. There are seven
homes, each OF which IL occupied i3y
from twenty to twenty-five children.
There Is Il studying room, guest ronm
aud parlOr, dOrmitOrics, with furniture
made In the shops. There Is kitchen
with large dining room, an infirmary
where the sick arc cared for, and semi
nary and chapel, the Childrcn's Gift
Academy and the Nelly Scott Library.
Mrs. Cyrus Mccormick, OF ChicauO.
has built three OF the cottages all OF
granite and very handsome, costing
I.OOO each. AZ present there arc about
100 ophans being supported at this or
phanagc. The Orphanagc has sent out
INTO the world 300 young men and wo-
men. One OF them, Rev. s. +. Fulton,
Is missionary in Japan, Miss Sloan is
~ SO0chO", Miss Mcknight at 1'sirg-
Kiang-pn and Miss McCorklc goes to
China this !all. Orphans have come
from all parts OF the South. There are
no" about $50 applicants Tor admission.
me expenses arc from $lI, 900 TO $l5,-
600 q year.
Quite an excitement was created here
Sunday morning over the killing OF
Dan Johnston by John Johnston about
. o'clock. Dau was "a porter I'm the
Clinton H0tc'. He was q very stout
bnil negro and 80 Is John Johnston:
both seem TO have the reputation OF be-
Ing ba les. They quarrccd about Q
cents some say, others say about job
OF shoe blackcning. Hhc result was
that John Johnston cut Dan J0hnston's
throat with razor, innicting q terri |
bic wound. Dan lived about half an
hour after tho cutting. Johnston ran |
OF 1T once, but was captured about two |
hours later by aposse 0f about 100 white !
men and negroes. He was taken to !
I'aurcns on The up train, as was also Il |
negro barber, who Is said To have
loaned him the razor.

THE NEW YORK FIGHT.

The contest for the mayoralty Of Great
er New York, which, patronage and per-
quisites considered. will be the latest
office in the United States, grows more
exciting daily. There are four candidates
in the field--Van Wyck CTammany). Tracy
Republican,, Low Citizens Union), and
George Ueffersonian)-and the New York
papers are. crowded with accounts of
meetings of their respective supporters
There is more space devoted to the going
and the coming OF the several candidates
and the claims of their managers than was
ever devoted to presidential canvass.
and the Herald commenced yesterday TO
print daily bulletins from the generals
OF the Tour armies The same paper
also gives daily record of the betting.
Yesterday the Herald claimed that the
fight was between Van Wyck and Low,
with George creating a Juror which is
driving the betting on Van Wyck down.
but If we are to believe some other New
York papers, the betting odds are against
the Heralds being right.
In fact, the more an outsider reads abont
the fight the more he doesn't know inst
how it's going TO turn out. There are
issues involved. of course, but the main
issue is to get the big plum, which ripens
for the first time on November 2d. and
which will enable the followers of the
fortunate candidate to divide a part of n
into many desirable pieces in the way Of
offices.

WHAT WILL RICHMOND nor

We don't want Richmond to make a
poor showing In next Tuesdays election
I but we are much afraid that 1t will DO
so.
| Our legislative ticket has no opposi-
ton. and our people cannot believe that
our State ticket is in any danger. All the
same. IL the gubernatorial vote or Tues
day next should ever be used as the
basis of apportioning representation IN
district or State convention OF our
party Richmond will fare badly.
Again, we owe 1t to Hoge Tyler and
his associates upon the State ticket 10
give them a handsome vote. We ought
to show our appreciation OF the excel
lent canvass they have been making
1t Is possible. too, that we are too pre-
sumptuous In supposing that our state
ticket is In nc peril. II may be; II GER
tainly will be- II every community takes
the complaisant view of the situation
that Richmond does. At any rate, we
must bear in mind that the Populists ex-
pect to poll about 10000 votes for Cooke
for Lieutenant Governor. and IL they
succeed in doing this, II will be 10000
votes lost to Echols. Thus there may be
a much closer contest between Echols
and Roller than we have been counting
upon. In short. we Richmonders Should
do our duty on election-day.
Good. earnest party men ought to keep
up the habit of going to the polls 1t
Is a good practice and ought never to
be abandoned.
And so we call upon our people TO go
10 the polls on Tuesday next, and we
nope our clubs will make active exer-
ions to get the vote out.

NY MAIL on EXPRESS.
Omcfa1s Uf a. Leading Company Com
ment ON Recent Loss Of $4,000.

4
Recent press dispatches, reporting the
mysterious disappearance OF a large sum
OF money In transit through the mails
from banking house in Chicago to one
OF Its western correspondents. prompted
an inquiry as to the cause for such an
vice. and, when approached on the SUBJ
ject, a prominent Official Of one OF the
leading express companies stated yester-
day that the last year had witnessed a
radical change In the transportation Of
moneys, which formerly had all been
forwarded by express, but were now be-
ing sent. in many instances, by mall the
aggregate postage and registry fees pre-
senting a difference as compared with
express rates that tempted many to de-
part from the old method and adopt the
new.
The official added further. that fire.
qient train robberies had compelled the
express companies to go to great ex-
pense In equipping their through cars
with stationary combination safes, which
as recent 'hold-ups' had proven, afford
security against any attempts on the
part of road agents to get at the con-
coed. in the majority of cases little
would now be obtained for their pains
on account of the diversion OF the
moneys from express to the mails, and
that II would not be unnatural to expect
that Uncle Sam" would soon have his
hands full. looking after the protection
of the valuable parcels In his care. as
train robbers will. OF course. so where |
the money is. and II IS now in the mail |
instead OF the express-car.
Inquiry as to what steps the express
would take to regain the traffic
ELECTED the reply that they had ex-
pended all the revenues from this
source I'm the past in surrounding the
money with every possible protection
and running down and Furnishing thieves,
and that they would simply wait until
such Losses as the one referred to and
he attention Of train robbers to this
new channel for transporting moneys
proved IT TO be neither a successful nor
profitable experiment.

MCORMICK's PETITION.
His Name VIII BE Put on the Official
Ballot.

HARRISONBURG. VA. October 90
Special Judge William Mclaughlin
of the Circuit Court, heard argument to-
day in an application for a writ Of man.
damus to compel the Electoral Board
OF Rockbridge county to place the name
OF j. r. Mccormick on the official ballot
TO be used in the State election next
Tuesday. Mr.. Mccormick is the Republ-
can nominee for the Senate in the
Rockbridge District. He failed to notify
the Clerk of the Rockbridge County Court
OF his candidacy, but the fact was
certified by James r. Frazer, claiming
to act as McCormick's attorney. This
was deemed irregular under
the Parker election law, and, acting on
the advice of Attorney General Scott, the
Electoral Board refused TO put his
name on the ballot. Judge Mclaughlin
granted the petition for a mandamus.
holding that the certification OF McCor-
mick's candidacy by Frazer was sufti-
cient under the law. The motion was
argued by Messrs. White & Penick, on
behalf of the petitioner, and by Green
