Il state of affairs | will honestly

''l am in favor of building MP
and improving in every way pos
sibIe the common schools. This
must be done before the colleges
can flourish as they ought. Every
boy and girl in South Carolina
ought to he given u good common
school education. When this
is done with the h Oh schools and
academies scattered over the State
it will he no trouble for the bows

lege and the result will be the
building up and fiourishing of all
of the colleges. As to our State
colleges, | do not believe that anv
of them ought to be torn down or
allowed to starve or languish for
want of support. 1t may be, and
doubtless is, true that there have
been many or at least some ex-
travagances in the management of
our institutions. All this can
and will be corrected in time.
1t must be done. 1t is impossible
to keep down extravaganza in
connection with such large insti
tutions as Clemson and Winthrop.
Especially is this true when they
are in their infancy and before
they become thoroughly organi-
zed, but all of this will be over
come. | would not say aught
against Clemson but l would say
word in praise of Winthrop. In
my judgment there is no better
or grander institution in the
South than Winthrop and l know
whereof l speak for have been
there. We can not afford to let
the old South Carolina college
languish and starve. Instead of
this the standard ought to be rails

Wild our denominational colleges
and she olght to be put upon a
frmer and better basis. The
same thing ought to be done in
reference TO the citadel.
"One thing would emphasize,
and then l am through talking.
What we want and what we must
have in South Carolina is economy
in the management of all our
State atfalrs-not stinginess or
penurlousness for economy does
not mean that-but there are
extravagances which can and
must be stopped.

DUNCAN IS A PRISONER
Surgeon of the Twenty Second
Kansas He'd at Fairfax.

Fairfax Court House, Va, ,
Sentember 1.-Surgeon l. {
Duncan, the alleged grave rob-
Der, who was turne2 over 80 the
civil authorities by the military at
Thoroughfare, was brou ght here
Sunday by Sheriff Gor@lon, and is
in Jail awaiting trial. He has re
tained r WsMoore, of this place,
as his attorney, and an effort is
being made to get bail.
The case of Captain Duncan
will come up IN the county court
for trial on the third Monday in
September.
Capt Louis & Duncan, surgeon
OF the Twenty-second Kansas
regiment, is held by the sheriff of
Fairfax county, Va, to answer
an indictment charging him with
dosecrating Confederate graves at
Bull Run, near Manassas.
1t appears that DR. Duncan,
whose case has now become fam
Gus, was not sentenced to five
years Imprisonment, as reported
IN press dispatch from Camp
meade, Pa, but escaped much
more lightly at the hands of the
military court. there being lack
or evidence to prove that he act
ually took part in despoiling the
graves. He was tried by court
martial under the sixty first and
sixty-seconds general articles of
war.
The first charge was ''conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentle
man." the specifications being
that he witnessed and participated
in the desecration of the grave of
Maj j L Duke. of the Fifth Ala
bama Regiment, a wen known
Confederate officer, who was a
Aissop OF high degree. The Ma
sonic fraternity was interested in
the prosecution in this case. DR.
Duncan, however, was acquitted
of any completely in the despoil-
ing of the Duke grave, the evi-
dcnce proving that he was not
present but in camp.
The second charge, under the
sixty second article of war, was
"conduct prejudicial to good or
der and discipline" The speciti d.
cations were (D that he partici-
pated in the desecration of the
grave of one Humphreys, and C2)
failed to exercise his authority as
an officer in not stopping the dose
Grafton and putting the men so
engaged under arrest. On the
first specification he was acquitted,
but on the second specification tho
court found him guilty.

CENTRAL REGION BETTER.
The Week Favorable for Corn in
West Localities-General I'm
prOvemcnt in Tobacco
During August.

Washington, Aug. O.-The
weather bureau in its review of
crop conditions for the week end
ing August % says:
Continued heavy rains have
proved unfavorable in the South
Atlantic and East Gulf States,
while drought prevails in portions
of Texas, Arkansas and Missouri
and generally through the States
of The eastern Rocky Mountain
slope. The week has proved
very favorable in the New Eng
land, the Middle Atlantic States,
the lake region and generally
throughout the central valleys,
the high temperatures favoring
the rapid maturing of crops.
With the exception of portions
Of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri
and South Dakota, where the late
crop has been injured by drought
and excessive heat, the week has
been very favorable for corn,
which is maturing rapidly under
favorable conditions throughout
the central and northern portions
of the country. In the southern
counties of Nebraska, corn has
ripened too rapidly under the
high temperatures of this and the
preceding week, and as a result
considerable proportion of the
crop in that section of the State
Will be chaffy. Some cutting has
been done in nearly all of the
principal corn States. Harvest
and threshing of spring wheat con-
tinue in Oregon and Washington.
In Washington, threshing shows
good yields, which, however,
have been somewhat lessened by
poor crops of late wheat lin some
sections, as result of the ex-
cesslve heat of the first half of
August, which has also injured
the crop in Oregon.
The week has been very unfav
orable to cotton, especially over
the greater part of the eastern
portion of the cotton belt, where
it has suffered from heavy rains,
which have been continuous for
the past month, causing rust, she'd
ding and too rapid growth of
stalk. In portions of North Caro-
lima and over the general part of
the cotton region, conditions of
the past week have been somewhat
more favorable, and the crop is
improved IN Tennessee, Missouri
and portions of Mississippi and
Arkansas. Cotton has also inn
ploved in central and northern
Texas, but insects are causing
damage in many localities, and
premature opening and shedding
are reported from the central and
southern portions of the State.
Picking is becoming general in
northern portions.
Except in New England, where
warm, dry weather is needed to
mature the crop, the week has
been favorable for tobacco, a gen
eneral Improvement being report
