Last Saturday the steamer Margaret brought up 1,1*50 crates of tomatoes for ship ment North over the South Florida railroad from the Manatee and on the same dav the Gov.

It can doubtless be had at a bargain. A negro was lieaten unmercifully in Dade Citv last week, by a few boys. The negro had stolen something, anil had been lieaten and made to leave. He returned and be haved himself, but on Saturday night he was again taken by thus mob and horse whipped. Is there not some liw to stop this r The citizens are tired of such methods. Tampa is a i>ort of entry; but being made so la to in the session there was no provision made for a collector, and while being a port, it will have to remain in the Key West, district until a provision is made by Con gress for making it a separate district. In the meanwhile, importations can be made direct to Tampa by complying with the laws.

Mrs. Mitchell’s watch was lying on the bureau and the negro quietly borrowed it, forgetting, however, to say anything about it to the Judge.

Wright, one of the most enter prising business men in Columbia, has started a movement to establish a cotton mill there. It is proposed that the mill shall be built on a good site on the canal bank and be driven by steam, the motive power to be changed when water power cun be obtained.

Amy Avant, (colored), working on the plantation of Maj. James Reaves, in Marion county, died Tuesday of measles at the advanced age of 122 years. She was re markably well preserved, and retained all her faculties up to the time of her fatal ill ness, previous to which she claimed that she had never taken a dose of medicine. During the last cotton picking season she took her place regularly in the cotton fields, and always performed a good day’s work. Her age is well attested by family records. School Commissioner Clinkscales, of An derson, has received a letter from Cos!. Rice, stating that be had decided to appropriate S2OO for aiding the institute work to be done tbis summer at Wiiliamston. One of the conditions on which the mone)' is given is that the institute is to lie open to all the teachers of the State who may desire to at tend. The only difficulty in the way will to the inability of the little town of Wiiliams ton to accommodate all the teachers that may attend. However, if she is crowded, Pelzer and the stirrounding country will be called into service. Within a radius off ur miles of Walha.Ha there are 68,000 bearing grape vines, with about 75.000 more from one to two years old. Those engaged in this business have made it pay a handsome profit, and to-day there is not a single gallon of wine of the vintage of 1886 on hand unsold. The soil and climate of Walhalla and the country surrounding are especially adapted to the successful growing of grapes, and in a few years it will almost, if not entirely, absorb the cot ton interest of the county, as one acre in grapes will, with less labor and expense, pay more clear profit than fifteen acres in cotton. An old colored man named Jerry Kenne dy, while crossing the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad bridge over the Con garee river. Friday morning, was overtaken y the passenger train for Augusta, and be fore he could get out of the way was 1 brown from the trestle. His right leg was broken and a deep cut inflicted m the back of his head. The wounded man was brought to the junction an hour after, and later in the day was taken to the almshouse. Jerry is deaf and did not know of the approach of the train until too late to save himself. On account of his old age his injuries will probably prove fatal. Gov. Richardson and Commissioner But ler went up country Tuesday as a commit tee front the Board of Agriculture, to inspect the sites offered the State for the Piedmont agricultural experiment station. They visited the sites near Spartanburg. Green ville, and that proposed by the counties of Anderson, Oconee and Pickens. In Green ville county they endeavored to ascertain what a desirable site could to purchased for, the subscription of that county being made wholly in money. The committee have as yet reached no decision as to what they will recommend the Board nt: Agriculture to do. They do not yet, know if they will do more than present the facts they have gathered. The State Press Association met i{} Charleston on Thursday, it being their third annual session. At, th election of officers for the ensuing year the following officers were unanimously re-elected: Presi dent, Gen. M. B. McSweeney, of the Hamp ton (fvardian ; First Vice President, Col. Charles Petty, of the Carolina Spartan ; Second Vice President. Capt. T. H. Clarke, of the Camden Journal ; Secretary, Maj. J. B. Bonner, of the Due West Presbytenan: Treasurer, Maj. Franz Melchers, of the Deutsche Zeitunq ; Chaplain, Rev. Sidi H. Browne, of the Christian Neighbor. On motion of Col. T. B. Crews, Mr. Miles Porcher McSweeney, now junior editor of the Hampton Ovardian, was unanimously elected an honorary monitor. Col. Crews explained that, Mr. McSweeney was the “first born” of the President, and that the association desired to have him in its ranks so that when the mantle should fail from the shoulders of his father there should be another of his name and abilities to wear it worthily. The association agreed with him, aiid the election was unanimous. Phosphatic cii'ch* in the State are agitated over well founded rumors that a wealthy and powerful syndicate, including several Northern millionaires, has been organized, in which all tho phosphate miners and min ing comjxmie-. have joined for tho purpose of controlling and keeping up tlie price of crude rock. Such a syndicate was in exist ence a year or two ago. but it only em braced the miners of land rock, the river companies failing to come over to it, al though they kept t.ie price up to its figures. A year ago, however, there was a depres sion in the market and the river companies made a break, which was followed by the dissolution of the land syndicate. The new- plan contemplates tho joining of forces. David Roberts, the well known phosphate miner of Charleston is to be the manager and is to be given absolute control of everything in the State, w ith power to sell at, sir li rates as he may fix. A material advance in pri • • may be looked for at an early date. Tills is one of South Carolina’s greatest industries. Last year the aggre gate production of phosphate rock was 449,- 003 tons, of which JSl.ltOJtons were exported and 08,000 tons were consumed by the local fertilizer manufacturing companies. The aggregate value of this production was in round nmnbei* $2,000,000. Large quanti ties of tins rock are shipped to Northern port*. Greenville has an exciting sensation caused by the strange conduct of James F. Web ster, a white man, who is highly educated and has a roinurkablc history. He is a na tive of East India, and has lived in England and Canada, w here ho was a minister of the Episcopal church for many years. Ho was very wealthy, and was thoroughly educated in ancient and modern language*. Koine years ago, while, traveling in East India, lie experienced a siuistroke, which nearly cost him his life, and by which reason was per manently injured. After that ho left the ministry and came to this country, and has lieeu living in Greenville many year*. A few years ago he had the misfortune to lose all his property, and tliis served to completely de throne his intellect. At v arious times he Ims threaten'd the lives of |*>rsois, but he was gene nils regarded ns harmless, and no attention was given to hi* threats, until a fovv days ago lie became more violent, and threatened to take the life of a prominent minister, and tho Chief of Police was ap plied to ami went to t'.m church Sunday, n.s it whs reported that lie might attempt to execute lus threat in the church. Webster did not go to church, however, and Monday au affidavit was made before Justice Croft, charging that Mr. Webuter was dangerous) v insane, and l)r. Wallace and Dr. Swnndnfe were appointed to examine him. After the examination they reported he was n violent lunatic, and an order was issued for hi* coin mittul to the But* asylum.
