Thoro con bo no groaler ovil than tho ono of tho prosont doy of adulterating articled of food, drink, medici nos and oven fertilizers. There is scarcely aa artielo bought or sold as merchandise but is moto or loss taintod with foreign substances. Even elcazy dry goods are starohed and pasted over so as to givo them tho appearance of body nud dura bility, while costlier articles' have a gloss aud so lt ness imparted to then) capable of deceiv ing the wary as to their Vtduo and texture In ouch articles tho only injury to tho con sumer is tho loss sustained in money by ' paying for nn inferior artielo tho prico of n good one, hut in articles of food nud drink a moro serious injury often results to tho health of tho community. In ono of tho Northern cilios u short tiiuo back tho im pression was general that a new and fatal discute (hen picvalcut was traceable to im* puro butter, and uo ono eau tell how (ar tho human system is daily taxed to meet tho encroachments of impurities in food, used solely for making money. Those adultera tions uro not only wrong in thomsclves und injurious in their consequences, but they '?' should bo prevented by stringent laws strictly enforced. With tho ndvauco of civilization abd intellectual improvement tho comforts and protections to lifo nud health have been inoronscd, thc knowledge of disensos and thc on rut i ye and restoring properties of medicines have been enhanced and lifo and health should bo improved iu proportion, but tho reverso seems tobo (ruo of this ago. Not only do now fatal diseases spring up, but -sickness increases in nil parts of tho country and we aro of tho opinion that this is duo largely to adulterations of food, It is further more admitted that tho practice is extending and widening every year, until puro articlon havo beeomo tho exception instead of thc .rulo. Thenty years ngo adulterations were con fined chiefly to liquors and costly winos, and with tbeso they havo so increased by their riso in prico that n largo proportion of thc liquors used aro manufactured from poison ous chemicals, destructivo alike to mental and bodily health. As tbeso articles were -not noeetturics, but in their usc injurions even in a puro state, little attention was paid to their adulteration; bat tho lovo of monoy lins carried this limited practico to nearly all tho necessaries and luxuries of lifo, tho ratio of impurities constantly in creasing. Wo havo teen it estimated that in ground coffees adulterntionsoftcn reach us high . . ps fifty per cent, and in ground pepper and spices as high us seventy-fivo per cent, of tho whole. Even when Fold in tho berry theso articles are moro or less adulterated, us soon in painted coffee, false berries and rr tho dust and scales found in them. In touch of ibo brown sugar n nv sold from twenty-five to fifty per cent, of gluooso is found, giving it that glossy, crystal appearance readily seen, whilo tho fancy syrups of tho day have assumed ns many nanice ns compounds. Wa tered milk has long been sold in cities, bul this was a mere cheat, but now we have biutcr under many names r.nd compounds. Bacon is pressed for tho bud sold and put on tho market ns bacon. Every tlovioo and stratagem, which promises profit, is being resorted to, until tho evil demands suppression and is attracting public attention to that end. Tho practico is; worse than tho counterfeiting pf monoy, which Ibo government holds a high crime, for it is counterfeiting the necessaries of lifo for tho purposes of gain, thus hoing aa great n moral wroug, whilo its eori6oquonccs affect the lives and health of tho public nt largo. Should not Congress legislate on tho subject and should it not bo dono beforo tho ovil spreads farther? lt hag been mooted ns a proper subject of leg islation and wc hopo to see it noted on. Our old citizens cnn remember tho day of tobacco inspectors, when inferior grados were condemned and burnod without remuneration to tho producer. Tho law was n harsh ono, nnd, in nn nrticlo of tho kind, not necessary, but in articles of food and medicine of daily ?so some legislation to prohibit nnd punish tho falo by manufacturers of adulterated compounds would bo wholesome Tho trouble is not with tho local merchant, bul with tho manufneinrors and large dealers, ?who grow rich by tho injury of others. . .? \ -?-?rv -?- - - Our Colleges The largo uumbcr of colleges in Ibo North and South render tito month ol' Juno ono of universal interest.

Tho Cowpons Centennial. Tho contonnial celobrutiou of tho battle of tho Cowpons at tSpurtanburg ou Wcdnes? day Inst, was a monster affair for this section of country. A? half past nino o'clock a salute of threo goos was fired hy tho Columbia Artillery, whoi tho troops wcro mussed in main street and formed into two brigades. Brigadier General C. Irvino "Walker commanded ono brigade and Col. Hugh S. Thompson the other. Gen. John C. Anderson was in com mand of tho divinion. Gen. II. I. Hoof, of the U. S. A., was reviewing officer, t.l? staff being composed of two officers from tho regu lar anny and throo descendants of thc heroes of Cowpons. Tho following places in South Carolina wcro represented by military companies at thc Cowpons Centennial: Charleston, Colum bia, Greenville, Winnsboro, Chester and Kock Hill. Charleston had tho largost number of companies presont und Columbia next. Tho Greenville Cadets, King's Mountain Military Cadets, and tho Carolina Military Institute Cadets, of Charlotte, wcro at thc Centennial. Thc military parado and review was a grand display of citizen soldiery, lasting not over one hour. Tho now Palmetto Regiment seemed to be tho crack companies nnd at tracted a largo share of attention and oom* plimcmary remark. Gen. Hunt expressed himself as highly pleased with tho appear ance and conduct of tho troops, und tho manner in which they responded to tho com mundi of tho officers, The pageant, taken as A win.le, was fully up to tho most sanguino expectations of thc public, and was spo^?n 1 of in tho most complimentary ternis by n]| \\ ho witnessed it. The City Council bf Sp-uanburg r-parod neither pains uov 0Xp0USQ ?0 pr?vido, in etcry w*y th^y obuld, for tho comfort and ,vynVCutOnco of visitors to tho Centennial, liaised uoats for ladies were amply provided in tho public Efiunro surrounding tho monu ment- j It is supposed that Ibero wore about ?r>0i) men in line, and net less than 18,000 poisons present. There was an eli gentleman on thc stand who was alive when the battle of CowpCna was fought. Ile is now 101 yeura old. His narnu is Fielder. Ho was born and raised hr Spar te nburg County. Ono of thu most eloquent and brilliant speeches of tho occasion was delivered at Governor Ilngiiod's reception, by Judgn Chrifdmn, ono of tho Associate Juslicoa of tho -Supremo Court of Virginia. ll; was called out by a lett** freui ex Gov. Bunhum, and his noble ro*poo$?? did honor alike to thc ??ead and heart of iillO illustrious reprc sensitive Of tho judiciary of tho Old Domin ion, thc proud mother of State' an well as statesmen. Thc reception was brilliant and hospitable in all its appurtenances ftn<i arrangements, end was honored by tho lea J' lng men of mark from thirlcnn SliltOS. Tho fraternal feeling and genial sentiment that provailed throughout was in remarkable as it was pleasing, and, wo trust, mu oh was done (y strengthen thc bonds and cement tho kindly fcoling of tho fcctiuns, and cherish tho sentiments and sympathies of tho ties of brotherhood and a restored Union. Tho Spitrlanburgers did their best, ?md that is faying a good ?leal, to receive tho vast crowd with hospitable hearts und open arms, but thc nish was rather too much for a young inland tOWtl, und Charleston is said to have taken somo of thu burden off her shouldors.

COI.UMUIA, May 14.-Tho Commissioner of Agriculture has determined front this time forward to wilke every oxertiui to hnvo thc Stato well represented nt tho International Cotton Exposition nt Atlanta in October next. Although thc object of thc exhibition is pri? Warily to advance tho interests of ootton cul turo and manufactures, it is understood that exhibits cf other interests of tho States will bc received. In nocordanco with this infor million Cul. Entier is oinking preparations to secure a display of Ibo entire industrial re sources of tho State. In addition lu tho ex pected exhibition of 100 or 200 specimens of fino sou island and upland cotton, and thc fabrics manufactured from them, there will bo according to tho crude plans already formed, full cabinets of agricultural pro ducts, minerals, plionphato deposits, native woods, &c, for which a largo spaco will bo recured. There will bo also largo photo graphs nf tho large cotton mills of tho Stato and of tho phosphato mills, dredgos, &o. Tine maps of the State and of tho const sur vey will also bo exhibited. Publications chowing thc advantages and ref ou raes of tho State will bo distributed in numbers, and if the handbook in preparation now is riot ready pamphlets will bo printed to tako its place. In brief, it is designed to givo the Stato that udvortisemcipt of her soil, elimata and pro. dilution which alie did not have at tho Con Centennial exhibition, and by which great gund can bc accomplished nt a moderato ex pense. These plans will have to receive tho ' endorsement of tho Board of Agr>ou]f- c(? ftmj an appropriation from tl?0ir funda, but in view of tho unqnO-^bD'Vie benefits to bo ob tained from ''"0 Outlay thoro eau bo ria doubt that ^ourd \-?iJ make tho necessary ap propriation. Tho pooplo nil over tho Stato can contribute greatly to tho success nf thc exhibit by furnishing specimens, &o , lo tho department. In this connection it is worth repeating that thc Board, at it.i last mooting, authorized tho appointment of a oomm'utoo 'if three practical and capable citizens to exam? ino tho machinery exhibited at tho Exposi tion, and report on their rotativo value to tho Department. A brick store on thu public square at Spar' ttinbuvg was struck by lightning mi tho ld til instant, tearing off part pf tho ceiling ol' tho seoond story.
