The chief chartn of Spartanburg consists not more in its quiet, shady streets, cheerful homes, gardens of flowers, and varied surbnrbuu acencry, than in the air orgentle refinement everywhere perceptible, and an intellectual presence Unit seems to breathe in the atmosphere. It is one of the attributes of an educational institution to invest the community in which it is situated with the broad ten title ol those healthy associations ever being generated within itself.
