J AVc have no ?lt ul?t thai the people of 1 this-County, nt least, are weary of the < itisci)ssiou of this subject: And we do ' not intend to reopen it?only to state our position. J ' The'opponents lo the University proceed upon the presumption that those who support the University are opposed < 1o the,public schools. This is not our I position certainly. We have spent time y \ nnd labor in behalf of the public schools I ?'i ",u?s c ounty, ami would deprecate \ *"' and oppose any act looking to tin* aholi- i tion of these schools. We have advo- t cated, anil ilo advocate, changes in and I improvements on tho present system, i On the other hand some of the friends t of the University make the mistake of 1 nssorting'tliat all opposition to that in- t Kliiution is hased upon friendship for i denominational colleges. This is not I true. There are those who have no par- ] .Tticular interest in such colleges who < oppose the I'niversity; so tliat hoth 1 sides luivb Tinade errors in their.diseus- i sion of this (piestion. The opponents < of the State College are inconsitent ' when, they oppose tho college because . , tuition therein is free to all, and yet as- ' Sort t'llll its fiiendc nwi nniincntl In I I vrr""'" "vv Kchoolft ! Those who would keep open the University to the youth of the State ^ .nrq but offering them a higher step in the line of free education, and there | should be no opposition to such a course by those who proclaim themselves the rhampious of free education in the pub- ( lie schools. At the same time, tho | friends of the college are-wrong to lay ( all opposition to it at the door of denoni inntional colleges. Lot there be an end .to all bickerings on this subject. The ] - University wn.i. btanh, to do its high ( and glorious work in tho cntiso of higher . education for the youth of the State, and ' > the denominational colleges will go on in their several snlieies doinjr ?rooil nml 'O O 1 Hoblu work in the saute behalf. There , *- <* . r Js no necessity fur antagonism between jlliein. and he Is no true friend to either - - . who seeks to sow discord and envy between them. ' lly the way, w,c are glad to sec that our friend of the Medium states that he - lias no desire to pull down the Univer sity?but only insists that it shall be run in accordance with law. He has been ranked as one of its chief oppo- 1 nents, hut status plainly in his la.st is- 1 sueliis position on this subject. ?V ,1'IW.VCHEU POLITICIANS. i .The pulpit aad the political field are : ,so widely separated, their tendencies so l directly opposite, and their surroundings. > SO vastlv (liifi'roiit fli.it ? >. .1" ??* - .,IU% ? w *,11* Hill KWl* 1 " * ^ how one man can ronscientitflisly at- i .tempt to 1111 the twapositions of preach- 1 or and politician. We do not mean by v i this to deny to ministers tin? right to v .? form their opinions of men and parties, "r" but wo do think their sacred calling ( J should keep Them from taking nn active part on the hustings, and necessarily injuring their usefulness in the Master's h Z ll; '. * cause. Our idea of a minister of the > . gospel is so hij^h that it necessarily ex ^ eludes any, work not closely connected ' " with the saving of souls, and the leadi'T: % lug of men to the Lamb that was slain. _'r (loldsniith's portrayal of the village preacher, in which he says vHc allured to blighter worlds and led the I ] ?'? '* " ' ? ?? ? is our what a proncher ought to he, and who will say the political stump ' X^/y. ?n<* caucus affords an opportunity for ' -such nllurement ? C?n the contrary, *> the minister who turns politician isrdo- i ' . -ing both himself unci his constituents a | positive injury. He is injuring himself i * j iu weakening his influence both as u i man'and as Ajninistcr, anil of course to i ; " this extent injuring his constituents. i In the next place, there is no noUessi- | ty for it. Statesmen are not so scarce as I i to necessitate to any extent the ileple- j tion of the ranks of the ministry, and ? ? ^ there nro plenty of honorable and wor; . ' thy men outside of this high calling who , , V^ i * * J . csm and will bear the burdens of Stale. * Notwithstanding these facts, we notice t" ' quite a disposition on the payt of the ( - -ministers of other counties to aspiro to . politicirl honors, but bo.it said to the ' . honor and the Christianity of the minis- , -'f.1- ters of Abbeville County that they have ... ... : "'x 'never manifested a desire to bedraggle ' , their holy robes in the filthy sloughs of >V politic 'nd may the day he far. distant when they gain'^their consent to do no.* i STKNOOHA 1?H KltS. , - * " , , t \ .

There has l>cen this year, and still continues in our midst, an nnpreceden;ed demand for money. The "wherewithal ' has been exceedingly scarce, persons desirous of building ami iin iroviiig our town, ami able to give the rery best gilt-edge security, have failed ;o make arrangements lor money on any erins. The object of building and loan issociations is to remedy this trouble? .o provide money to those anxious to lave homes, and on easy terms. Men if limited means, and particularly young non, are thus eucoiiragcd to husband ;heir resources and, without being iressed unmercifully, pay oil* their indebtedness in time. Wherever the enterprise has been organized it has proved i success. Anderson, Columbia, Charleston and various other places in the State liave them working admirably. We will follow this up next week with a more minute notice of the work and details of the association. INFAMOUS. Wo refuse to believe the rumor mentioned in the papers on Monday to the direct that the Louisiana Lottery Company hnil offered to Rive Maine the electoral vote of that Stale on condition that lie, if elected, is to throw open the United States mails to the lottery company. Thin is the institution of which Heauregard nml Knrly are the heads. We will have reached the very depth of political infamy if this report be true, and the maledictions heaped upon the head of Longstreet when he joined the Republican party would be as infantile prattle to the curses that would fall upon the devoted heads of the gentlemen above named. It cannot bo true '. THE 8KVlSNTIi lHSTItlCT. The Democrats have nominated that gallant knightly gentleman, Col. Win. Klliott, foi Congress against Hob Smalls. Surolv. even in the Illm-k District t is left among the negroes sufficient respect for decency and the eternal fitness of things to make them prefer Colonel Elliott to Smalls. Hut whether he he elected or not. Colonel Elliott will poll nil the Democratic votes in his District ind thereby aid the election of. the National ticket. We wish he could be L'lected. We know no man who would serve his constituents with more ability nor one who, would better grace the hulls of Congress*. THIS lMt'l'KItS. - There is no part of the internal economy of our government that needs greater. attention than the care of the poor. Those poor suppliants at the door of luunan charity?the accidents of life? should command the serious and earnest care of a municipal government. These people are fed, clothed, warmed, housed, [diysiccd and buried for the pittance of live dollars and seventy-five cents per month. Are we doing that class of our citizens justice?not to reflect upon the liumanc and careful steward;?when we illow such contracts to be made ? rilK CHKOMCI;K THADi: UIO VIKAV." We have received a beautiful copy of the Chronicle Trade ltccicw, which is full of most interesting information ibont that charming city, Augusta, and which, reflects great credit on the skill, ihe industry ami taste of the Chronicle ind Constitutionalist, which property takes rar.k ns one of the foremost dailies in the Southern States.

If we can reduce j ! to H.OtXJ the majority of IM,<XK> hv which thirdi{ld carried the State in 1880, it will demonstrate Maine's weakness and point to his defeat in November. I Jew York and Indiana are the real holds of battle. The former seems assured to Cleveland and the Democrats claim the. latter with grent confidence. On Octobor 9 New York city had a gigantic Cleveland demonstration in which thirty-five thousand people joined. Hankers brokers, merchants. Stock, Produce and Cold Exchange members were most prominent. This fact is significant of the leaning of the business men of the city, and they exorcise a mighty control in National elections. Wo believe Now York is safe, and if Ohio wont Democratic yesterday Maine's doom is sealed, and Cleveland is the next President of these United States?"A consummation devoutly to be wished.'' AvKfMlic Pills l?v tl?i? l?int .1. A. Smith of Gainesville, (ia., merchant,-snys: "For years I was a victim to the combined effects of Erysipelas ami an aggravated type of Eczema, that battled all medical skill. 1 consulted the very best physicians in the United States to 110 good purpose. I gave every patent medicine that was recommended a faithful trial and received no benefit.. I took large quantities of potash and a pint cup full of arsenic pills. The patent medicine, pills and potash mixtures fed instead of curing the disease. They destroyed 1113' appetite and wrecked my system?I lost liesh and energy?1 last three years from my business and spent .^.(XJO in a fruitless effort to regain my health. At last, when 1 began to consider my case "hopeless, I commenced taking S. S. S., and in a short time 1 was entirely cured. 1 waited a year after a cure.was. effected, and continued to take Swift's Specific off and on as a sort of safeguard, before I 'was willing to make public this marvelous cure. Being assured beyond the possibility of a (h.ubt that the cure was permanent, I wrote this history of my case for the benefit of my fellow-men. My skin is now as smooth as it was when a hoy. I weigh more than 1 ever did in in}' life, and 1113' general health was never better. I passed through last winter, (which was an unusually col.l one,) without losing a single day from my business. l?or the last twelve months I have had no return of. the erysipelas in any shape or form, or an}touch of eczema.""
