INSTITUTE OPENING.
Christmas Term Last Wednesday
Gailor Present.

Christmas Term Last Wednesday
GailOr Present.
Many patrons and friends of the
Columbia Institute assembled in the
Chapel last Wednesday morning,
the occasion being the opening of
the Christmas term of that institu-
ton. Bishop Gailor, of Sewanee,
assisted bv Rev. Baker P. Lee,
officiated at the opening, and his
address on Education" was a forci-
BILE and timely one. All depart
ments of the school were well repre-
scented, and each pupil entered en-
Enthusiastically upon the work of the
new scholastic year. The kinder
garten. under the direction of Mrs.
Mary Hine, was in full attendance,
and the little tots enjoyed the first
DAYS opening exercises of songs,
music and marches.
The many friends of Miss Mary
Bryant are rejoiced that she is again
at the Institute. Since she last
taught here, eight years ago, she has
spent several years in study in
France and Germany. She also has
taught at OgontZ, Pa. For two sum
mers past she has been at the sum
mer school at Chapel Hill, n. g..
where she lectured on literature
The Charlotte, n. G. Observer, thus
speaks of her: miss Bryant of The
OgOntz School, Pa, gave some bril-
liant talks on English Literature
and history, treating her subjects in I
most philosophical and psychology
cal manner. The fact that she wa
invited for two years to lecture a
Chapel Hill, is evidence of he
superior worth, as ic is the rule o
the management there to have new
lecturers every year. The exception
in Miss Bryant's regard, however, i
a well deserved compliment"

Off For Cuba,

Mr.. w. E. McKennou, one OF Co.
lumbia's enterprising business men,
of the grocery firm of McKennon q
Nichols, left this week for Havana,
Cuba Since the Pearl of the
Antilles" has been taken from un-
der the blighting rule of the Span
ish government, new and rich field
has been opened for American pluck
and energy, and Mr.. McKennOn
goes there on speculative tour.
He has in no way severed his con-
nection with his business interests
in this city, but, instead, we may
shortly hear that he has opened up
a branch house for his firm in Ha-
vana. Mr.. McKennon resided in
Mexico for some time, where he be-
came acquainted with the Spanish

NO CORPORATION.
The stay-at-Home Vote Counts Against
the Proposition.

The stay-at-Home Vote Counts Against
the Proposition.
Mt. Pleasant is still the "Phos-
phate City" without a corporate
BODY. At least that is what the
friends of mo Corporation" claim,
and is the opinion of some of Co
lumbia's best lawyers.
The statute provides that list of
all the qualified voters in the dis
trict proposed to be incorporated,
shall be prepared and filed and that
the sheriffs return of said election
must show the number of voters Oh
said list. and shat at least two thirds
thereof Chat is, the voters on said
listj have voted in favor of the in
corporation of said town. Other
wise, the proposition is defeated.
In this election the list presented
by law contained 402 names; the
necessary two thirds being 268; but
the vote for the corporation was on
" PIG; there being 80 against the
corporation and 96 who did not vote.
The proposition therefore lacked 81
Of carrying. In order to incorporate
town, whether there is any opposi-
ton vote polled at all or not, 1t re-
quires an affirmative vote of two
thirds Of the legal votes listed.

SPIDERS INVADE A HOME.
Millions of Pests in Mrs. Pierce's Resi-
dence at Southport.

Mrs. Julia Pierce and daughter En-
ma, of Southport, Me-, have been driv-
en- out Of their house by an unaccount-
able visitation of spiders, which to the
number Of millions swarm in every
crack and Granny between the partitions
in the floors, fences, outbuildings, win
dows, doors and on the walls every
where outside and in.
They called in physician about
two weeks ago to ascertain what it was
that was causing them so much dis
comfort, they being bitten OF stung by
something they could not tell what.
The bites were very painful, but yield
ed readily to treatment. Every effort
that could be thought of to get rid of
the pests has been made, and several
hundred dollars worth Of furniture has
been destroyed, but in vain. Finally
they appealed to the Board Of Health,
which after investigation ordered the
house vacated. Health officers are now
considering the advisability Of destroy
ing the buildings, in which case they
will probably be paid for by the town
or State.
The spiders are said to have been
brought in some clothing from the
South, and it is thought they may be a
species of tarantula. A live specimen
has been sent to Professor Robinson,
Of BoWdoin College.

Engineer Dead In His Cab.

When the night express train No. u,
eastbound, arrived at Susquehanna,
Pa, at midnight Wednesday the en-
gineer, Henry Kingsley Of Susquehanna
was found dead in the cab, with his
head crushed. After the train left
Binghamton, % miles west of there,
trainmen and others noticed that the
engineer failed to give the usual sig
nails at crossings and at small stations,
and that the train was runnidg at an
unusual speed. Fireman Cowgirl no
ticed that the whistle was not blown
for this station, and going forward into
the cab found the dead engineer. The
train had run at terrific speed 20
miles without an engineer. There
were over 200 passengers on board.
1t is supposed that the engineer was
hit by water crane at a point just
east of Binghamton.

FIRE IN SPARTANBURG.
The Biggest Blaze the Town has Ever
Witnessed.

The third fire has come. 1t was the
largest blaze that our town has ever
had. 1t started in the Carrier livery
stable, large two-story wooden build
ing, with shingle roof. John Hart,
contractor, had lumber yard and Of
fee on the corner of Main and South
Liberty streets. Next to him came
the Carrier stable, occupied in part by
the Rev. G.. T. Mills, colored Bap-
tist preacher. Then came Morgan's
livery stable and harness shop. Then
there was one one-story block contain
ing two or three small shops. They
were all on Main street. On Liberty
there was another livery stable build
ing. There were four or FIVE shops
along the street. All these were
burned. On the east side of Liberty
there was one-story brick cottage be-
longing to and occupied by Harry
Thompson and family. That was
burned, but the furniture was saved.
John Hart lost everything. His loss
is estimated at 81, ,2OOand no insurance.
He says this is the ninth time he has
been burned out, and he never had car
ried any insurance. On the Carrier
livery stable there was 81, 600 insurance
Carrier lost seven horses, several wag-
ons and buggies and the harness be-
longing to them. Mills lost all the
horses he had there were ten or twelve
Of them. R. L. Taylor, Of Rutherford
ton, N. c., had just arrived Wednes-
day afternoon, with FIVE horses, wagon
and buggy, all of which were put III
Morgan stable. These wele ali lost.
Morgan saved his harness and all Of
his horses exccpta very fine stallion,
which cost $780, He had $500 insur-
ance on his stable. The Bell Telephone
Company lost $500 to $500 by having
all connections on East Main street
destroyed. The total loss is sl2, 900 to
SIS, 900, and the insurance is hardly
one-fourth the loss. 1t is said that
twenty eight horses were burned. The
fire started about 2.45 Thursday morn
ing, and was discovered by Ben Hen
derson, white man, who had a room in
Morgan's livery stable, uext to Carri-
er's. When he was aroused the whole
of the roof was blazing. Something
more than an acre of ground was burned
over. The Morgan Iron Works on the
south, and the Cotton Row, OF the
West, were in danger, but they were
saved. The wind was blowing at the
rate Of about fifteen miles to the hour
diretly from the north. The tempera-
ture was 36 degrees, the coldest night
Of the season. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but it was no doubt acciden-
tai. The reason that the insurance was
not greater was because the rate was
very high in consequence of the wooden
stable and much combustible material
about the place. The water pressure
was rather low Wednesday night for
some reason and some blame was at
tached to the water-works company.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1898-11-02

men who directed them from Washing
ton were not more purblind than the
Aulic Council. Moreover, JACKSON
was merely the commander of a de-
tached force which might at any mo-
ment be required at Richmond. The
risks which Napoleon freely accepted
he could not afford. He dared not de-
liver battle unless he was certain of
success, and his one preoccupation was
to lose as few men as possible. Be this
as it may, Colonel Henderson maintains
that, in the secrecy of the Confederate
movements, the rapidity Of the marches
and the skillful use Of typographical
features the valley campaign bears strong
traces Of the Napoleonic methods.
Seldom has the value of these methods
been more forcibly exemplifed. Three
time was Mcdowell to have marched to
join Mcclellan; first at the beginning
of April, when he was held back by
Kernstown; second, on May 26th, when
he held back by Front Royal and Win
chester; third, on June 25th, when he
was held back BY Jacksons mysterious
disappearance after Port Republic.
The material results of the Valley
campaign were by no means inconsid
erable. Thirty-fve hundred prisoners
were either paroled or sent to Rich
mond; $500 Federals were killed or
wounded. An immense quantity Of
stores was captured and probably as
much destroyed Fine guns were taken
and over 10000 rifles. On the other
hand, the loss of the Confederates was
no more than $500 killed and wounded,
800 prisoners and 3 guns. 1t may be
added that the constant surprises, to-
gether with the fact that Jackson, in
spite Of the relatively small force at his
disposal, ordinarily had the larger num-
Der of men upon the field Of battle pro-
duced the worst effect on the morals
of the Federal soldiers. The troops
commanded by Frement, Shields,
Banks, Saxon and Early, we're all in
fected with misgi7ing. Officers re-
signed and men deserted. On the
least alarm there was observed a de-
cided tendency to stampede. The
generals thought only Of retreat. Ere
mont, after Cross Keys did not think
that his men would stand, and many
Of his soldiers declared that it was only
murder to fight without rcinforccmcnts.
When to Such immediate tangible re-
suits is added the ultimate strategical
effect Of the campaign, it can hardly be
denied that the success he achieved
was out Of all proportion to Jackson's
strength. Few general lave done so
much with means so small.
