Wednesday, July 2, 1873. Newberry College. The commencement exercises of this Institution, of which the Keowee Courier makes briuf mention in its last issue, are described as highly in teresting, and of which we hope to hear some of the particulars through our intelligent correspondent from Prosperity, who was a participant as well as happy eye-witness. In this connection we beg to make amends to our young friend, J. B. O'Neall Holloway, for omitting to place his name in the roll of students fur this County, in our notice last week. It was not our fault but that of the printer of the Catalogue, who made Mr. Holloway an Edgefielder. Graduates of Woford. The following is a list of the young men who graduated from Wofford College, Spartanburg, on the 26th: J. E. Carlisle, Sumter; W. E. Barr, Edgefield; H. F. Chrietzberg, Char leston; E. X. Hardin, Chester; J. K. Jennings, Union; G. E. Keitt, New berry; H- J. Kinard, Edgefield ; J. W. Wolling, Charleston; J. W. Rose borough, Mississippi; W. C. Wallace, Union; W. W. Wannamaker, Orange burg; J. E. Webster, Union; C. P. Woford, Spartanburg; C. W. Zim merman, Spartanburg; W. S. Rone, North Carolina. The Commencement exercises, we are happy to learn, were highly inter esting, and were witnessed by a large number of the friends of the College from abroad. Advantages to Iunmigrants. A pamphlet lately issued by Messrs. Reid and Keim, of London, in calling the attention of English capitalists to this State, concludes in the following style: "We have presented to the public a bird's eye view of the material wealth of South Carolina, which is awaiting only the application of energy and intelligent labor to make a great and prosperous people. It has been shown that land is rich, abundant and cheap; that the climate is con ducive to health ; that large crops are the inevitable results of good culture; that whatever grows in any part of the world may be grown here; that the forests abound in timber, and the fields abound in wild plants of medi cal and marketable value, that the soil teems with. mineral wealth; that water power is unlimited,and manufac turing can -be conducted at less ex pense than at the north; that the mar kets are at our doors; and finally that South Carolina offers to the immigrant all the advanitages of a new and old State combined-the virgin soil of the one, and the civilization of the other." These gentlemen have told nothing but the truth-there is no more favored had under the canopy of heaven than this State of South Caro lina, and could the tide of emigration once set in, and the unoccupied portions of the State be taken up, built upon and made to produce something for the'benefit of mankind, how different would be the condition. We are in clined to think, that one of the reasons why.our population is not increased is because of the great selfishness of the large landholders, who, instead of holding out inducements to emigrants, in disposing of their idle and waste lands cheaply, hold them fast in possession, and pay taxes on a dead waste rather. There is not a county in the State in which there are not hundreds of acres, in and around the towns and further off, which are not only perfetly valueless as a producing means, but dead weights and expense to their owners. It is a narrow minded, short-sighted policy, for every acre sold to an industrious, hard working man, enhances the value of the rest. And when our landholders, big planters, who have from 500 to 2,000 acres of land, and culUvate from 50) to 100 or 200 acres, see through this thing, and make up their inds to help others, that they may help themselves, then, and not till thcn, will it be different, and our little towns swell into respectable propor. tions, city like, and way side stations spring int towns. It's the worst kind of folly, this selfish refusal to dispose of that which is of no benetit to the possessor. It's on the princi pie of the dogr in the mnaug~er. It is pasingstrngethat sonme people can not see where their interest lies, and any farther off than the length of their noses. All admit that we want more population, yet no one who is able to offer inducements to the in dustricus farmer with little means ever thinks of doing so. Is this the way to do ? Nay, tny. We'll "never get to Lunnon," as the boy in the play says, if we permit these stoppages to future growth and prosperity. Pa-rrns' MrsIcAL MON(TBLY for July. contains no less than thirty-two pages of~ choice music-Songs with Chorus, Galops, waltzes, &c. AUl of this for 30 ets., or per annum S3. This is almost giving maaic away. If the reader wishes a copy it can he proe'ured by addressing J1. L. Peters, 59 Broadway, N. Y.

D.aughaday & Co , Phila Laurens & Aheville Rail Road. The various pr-jc(ted4i1e f:::llS road ar an cvidim of progress in the ril-lht directivl. The.argunts () advanced by some that thc -oun try was better off before we had any, railroads, than it is now, because, -hickens could be bouglht for five cents & head, and eggs at ten cents per doz en, and other things in like propor tion, and that we have communication enough now-is proof only of want of intelligence, and a selfish and narrow minded policy. It should be apparent to all, that the more communication we have, and the greater the number of Railroads, the greater will be the prosperity. Take our sister State of Georgia, for instance-intersected and traversed by Railroads as she is-and then deny if she is not far ahead of less fortunate South Carolina in all that goes to make up a prosperous State. The fact is, the people of this State have been sleeping too loug, but it is indeed gratifying that the long slumber is broken. True, numberless charters have been granted time and again, and some spasmodic efforts have been made, but alas the latter were of only short duration, and the charters have been allowed to rest in quiet. The completion of the Air Line has done much towards this awakening, and now the utmost rivalry exists,and the greatest energy is displayed, by not only the upper but lower Counties, to open up new channels of trade, by which the productions of distant see tions can be brought to our doors as rapidly and as cheaply as possible. The mountain regions of North Caro lina are all aglow, and in harmony with the upper and middle sections of this State-all feel the prime necessi ty of Railroad connectios-and the only question to be solved is the short est, most desirable and cheapest route. In our last issue we gave the com parative distances of routes from the great meat-packing, and grain and fruit producing sections-taken from the St. Louis Weedy, and called at tention to a route, which from a view of the map, shows an almost air line, and a saving in distance of one hun dred and sixty-four miles in favor of any other proposed-as a connection between the West and this State. This view is worthy of attention we take it, and there are many here who see it in this light. There are those too who are fired with enthusiasm as to -the Newberry connection with the Air Line, by tap ping the Spartanburg Road at Shel ton's, and the people of Union and Spartanburg, of course, would encour age this as a means to advance their endeavor to get into connection with the great trunk by way of Asheville. But while we should look to the in terests of other sections, we must not overlook our own, and it seems reason able that the interest of Newberry and surroundings lie in a connection with the Laurens and Asheville Railroad, and more particularly that this latter shows more signs of vitality,and a bet ter prospect of being built. The peo ple of Laurens will build to Greenville, there is no doubt of this, and Green ville will continue the road to tihe North Carolina line, they pledge them selves to this. If Newberry comes to the assistance of Laurens in her Green ville connection, and who can doubt her readiness to do so, then Laurens will, in like manner, help to make connection with Newberry, and at once will we have a place in the pic ture of the great trunk line, and be in easy communication between the moun tains and the seaboard, and have brought to our doors, the rich and teeming productions of the West. It has been proved too, that this will bring Chicago seventy five miles nearer Charleston. than by any other route which will touch the coast-with a saving of tive hours of time. Will, not the low country see tihe advantage lere too, anid lend a _hand in accom piishing such an end. The next question is how can the money be raised--we answer that the best, the easiest, quickest, most satis actory way will be by taxation. The people of Laurens propose to raise $400,00 by this mode, and it would take about $200,000 from Newberry. A vote of the people should be taken -tax or no tax-first le.ting them omprehend the advantages to be de rived from the road, and how light would be the tax in comparison to the benefits to be gained from cheaper goods, enhanced value of property, iu lux of population, and increase of usiness, and we believe that the vote will be a popular and large one in its fa ror, per contra of a subscription stock, which would take vast labor and im ense time, and which could only be1 aised by oceans of argument. We do not cry down the Chester extension by any means, that must Ld will come in good, time--like >egets like-one road will necessitate he building of another, but we do ~ay,tat now we want to connect with me Laurens and Asheville road to uome good purpose, and that it can be lone at less cost than it would take to uil a bran-h to Sheltom abanhg After thi, dt-ne then w- oin"tor. the eINCrry and Chestr road, and for anv other brauch which will brig us nearer in connection with other sections. i Important that Newbcrry should carry this idea out, and we give our views trusting they way led to something, and that an early re sponse be givel. Inceidiarismn. The -National Board of Fire Under writers. at their late mueeting in the City of New York, reolved to raile a fuud of $100,000 for the detection, conviction and punishment of parties engvagred in the nefarious business of incendiarisin :fnd ar-on. The Execu tive Committee of that Board, at their meeting on May 14th, 1873, carried out the resolution and opened the subscription. We hail this movement as a step in the right direction, and commend the action as one not only likely to benefit the Underwriters, bat also to protect the public from wholesale loss. This action is the more important when it is remembered, that the experience of the large companies transacting the business of fire insurance in the United States slows, that the propor tion of loss to be attributed to the above cause is not less than 33 .per cent. of the whole, or a loss to the country of at least twenty-five millions of dollars per annum. [Evening Bulletin. Editorial Convention. Every now and then some luckless editor in South Carolina feeling the necessity for closer co-operation with his brethren, suggests the organization of a Press Association. The day is usually proposed, and every time the meeting does not t:ike place, for unex plained reasons. As it has been sev eral months since such a thing was proposed, the Temperance Advocate now comes forward with a suggestion to meet in Columbia in the latter part of July. We are always ready to see ond the motion, for the purpose of get ting it before the house for discussion, and hence we endorse the suggestion of our yourg friend, proposing to amend by substituting an up-country town-Anderson for instance-as a more suitable localit for hot weather. In fact, why not begin with an edito rial excursion through the np-country? We have some pretty towns, located among a thriving and intelligent popu lation. which would astonish some of the editors. and make them think they were beyond the borders of their na tive heath.-Anderson intelligencer The suggestion has also been made to us by Bro. Beard, but as we are now under a severe Ess of pain, and in bed, we cannot think of going far to attend a Press Convention. We endorse Messrs. Beard and Hoyt, but substitute Newberry instead of Ander son in the amendment of the latter. We have local attractions enoug~h to make the heads of the brethren swim. Annual Yleeting, School District No. 1, Newberry County. At the annual meeting of School District No. 1, of Newberry County, held at Newberry Court House, S.

L ani thoroughlypersuadedthat there is an iinien-c deal ofiffetring in this world that might be alleviated orcured, or, still better prevented f the*wasa better understanding, a different confidnueerbetween the educated medical man anJtheiaity. The man ol' science has an idea that his knowledge cannot be imparted to the masses, and in fact, that probably it is best tha-. they shoulk not be entrusted with the great truths and maxims of the profession; and that the greater the glamour of mystery thrown around the profession, the greater respect will he shown it, and the greater confidence will inure to its practitioners. This course.may beget that kind of respect and confidence that is inspired in the ignorant and superstitious by witnessing the juggler's feats of legerdtmain; they have the profoundest respect fur his long locks and black coat, they have unlimited confidence in his powers, but you will observe them to shy away from too close a proximity to him, for they do not know what devilment may be in him. Very surely that is not the kind of confidence that should exist between the practitioner and his patient. This is a land of common schools and common sense, and while there are certain classes that ate willing to be treated like poor Dominic Sampson, when old Meg Merrilles, with her Devil's broth, bade him: -"gape sinner and swallow," there is a large class, who can and will criticise any system of science or art, and will only re spect that which is worthy of their confi dence.-Physicians claim this respect, this confidence, and as a clas., they deserve it, but it is unwise- to fall into the error of claiming it imperiously : there is too large a number who read and reason and think with intelligence to allow any profession to claim a clergyable exemption from the zeneral demand, to explain one's self. And this is as it should be, else who could distinguish between the true physician and the Quack. An excellent old gentleman, who was an honor to the medical profession remarked: "That the mind and heart of the practitioner ought to be the shrine of truth and probity: his mind should not deceive itself, and his heart should not suffer itself to be deceived and misled, b any earthly temptation, from the narrow and rugged way of duty and conicientionsness." And that man, though he may have authority from the best school in.the land,who in practicing one of the noblest professions, shall make money his God; sacrificing truth, the respect of his colleagues, the duties he owes to his profession, all, on the altar of mammon, is as mudh a quack as the peddlar of an all-healing salve. These things pizduce misgivings in the minds of an intelligent people, and cause them to look upon the Doctor with mistrust, they are afraid to show him the tongue or speak of a passing headache for fear that he will pounce on them with a prescription,and consequent bill, all without the least neces sity. This is all wrong: the man of science must be more liberal in this respect, as he does more charity than any other man in the community. Let him extend hi.s benefits, by becoming a public educator in the matter of teaching his fellow men how to avoid disease, and though he may not accumulate as much worldly gear as lie might otlit:rwise do, let him remember, that though the honest man in any avocation, may not compete with the trickster, yet he makes for himself a pillow as soft as down and o'ne that will ever woo his weary head to rest. There is a large class who have an un bounded confidence in the Doctor, and who believe him all-powerful to cure; imagining that he has a panacaa for every ill, and that if after looking at the patient's tongue and feeling his pulse, he fails to produce a physic that will cure, he simply doesn't know his business, or he is careless and indifferen; and ho at once seeks another advisor. The hone:t (?) physician feels called upon in such cases to give a box of bread pills or a phini of water colored with red lavender, with very particular itnstructions as to bow the medicine is to be taken, and with what care the effects must he watched; the less honest gives a tousing dose of medicine and goes away chuckling in his sleeve and con gratulating himself upon having a good patient for at least tea days: and the poer patient when allowed to get well con gratulates himself upon his miraculous deliverance. IIere is a case in point :-A man consulted a physician two weeks ago with regard to a trouble he had had a number of years. Hie had consulted a number of Doctors, nearly all of whom, had prescribed medi cines for him; and he had tried innumerable patent nostrums, all without benefit; after a thorough examination the physician explain ed to him, how that the remedies he had taken were only palliative, and that they could not possibly cure him, and also ex. planed to him, how by the persevering use of very simple means,-he would be cured; and at the same time assuring him from practi cal experience with. similar cases, that he would be surely and thoroughly cured, But the means were too simple. That man to day, is in bed taking three pills every hour, day and night, the Doctor visiting him twice a day, trying to cure a symptom, or rather I should say a result of a disease which has been lost sight of, and which might have have been cured without one grain of medi cine. The patient should always have that con fidence in his physician that will allow him to express himself honestly and candidly, and if he thinks that you do nrot need med icine to say so, without fear of giving of fence; the medical man ought, and must know, and be able to distinguish between those maladies that have a tendency to cure themselves and those that tend to destruction, and you must allow him to say'; let that alone-cure this. Be satisfied if he says to you go home and rst two or three days, adopt this diet and avoid that, use these precautions and you' will be well. (Go and do it; don't tell him you can't. If he tells you that you must have a blister, or a dose of oil, don't tell him you cant't. iIe doesn't prescribe these things because they are the tlrst things that pops into his mind, but because he knows they are the best means of restoring your health: and you have no right to allow any squeaaishness on your p'art to alter or swerve him from that course which his judgment dictates; if you do, you very surely cannot hold him rnsponsible if your case does not terminate as favorably as it 0ught. Let the practitioner be patient, and care flly explain as far as in his power, any point on which his patient may desire to be informed, and give .Cound, good reasons for adopting this, that or the other line of treat ment, and if he has sufficient erudition to do so intelligibly, he will soon find himself rewarded by a confidence that will cling to him in the hours of greatest peril and danger, and richly repay him for any vexation and trouble he may have experi ened in answering , in many cases, simple questions. On the other band let the patient be honess and eindid with the Doctor, and tell him freely all that he knows about his own illnes<4 nnel therehy avv him :an inimminse de: (if !!r0!uble a'111edme a -triouis mistake.

FOR THE IltIALD. A CARD. M1. EtoTOk-In Monday's issue of the Columbia Ution-lHerald, appears a piece of newe furi,ished that sensation-seeking paper by a passengr, % hicb stated that a man na,ed Iihard, l;d brutally t saulted Thomas P. elidlr, editor of the Progres.-irc Age, in consequence of an article which had appeared in his paper. As I am the man alh:ded to, all th-it I denand is fair play and the trivi, and as Mr. Slider did not contradict the passenger, I will. The facts, are that I e dled on the Pro,gressive editor with a small beef account of $1.86, which in a progrtssive way he disputed, sta ting lie owed mne only 40 ets. I again urged the settlement, when the lie was given me, followed by languiage which a gentleman would hardly titter, and ver-. much of it too. All this I bore till he threw out his hand as if to threaten or strike, when my hu-nanity caused ic to knock hinm down, and after getting him down, I beat him a trifle to teach him better nitniners. I would not make this explanation, but for the inipl ied idea that it was an assualt for political purposes. I ant no politieian, but an honest, hard working beef' man, anti I hope the Union-lerald will tak4 note, and not only of this, but that the recount for .1 86 is Iot yet paid. S. P. BAIRD.
