E. H. AULL, EDITOR. COLUMBIA FEMALE COLLEGE. The agitation of the removal of this old and honored institution cr.:ates intense in'erest in the Con ;ereuct ; it is 6i.cused on the streets, around the church door and everywhere: and doubtless the dis Cussiou in the session of the Con ference this morning at io o'clock will be spicy and exhat.stive. It is a grave question, but one which might have been avoided It was, in our judgment, a mislake to have ever attempted to auction a college to the highest bidder. The educa tion of the young is too sacred to be brought into such an unenviable position, and the manly, Christian spirit of every follower of Christ, in the way that John Wesley taught, ought to repudiate the method by which the removal of the college is sought to be accomplished. Where would such a precedent lead to? What institution of learning would be safe if such a precedent were established? Really every incentive to the upbuilding of great institu tions of learning would be nipped in the bud, because there would be no pledge or assurance of perma nency. But, as we understand the ques tion, the effort to remove the col lege from Columbia is entirely with out ground, and the bids are too in significant to be considered for one moment by men who take a busi ness view of the transaction. The present building occupied by the college could not be erecied today. for fifty thousand dollars; to force the property on the market it would not command more than twenty thousand dollars; the build ing is mortgaged for about fifteen thousand dollars; therefore it is probable that the sale of the prop erty would do but little more than liquidate the debt. Then it follows - that the Conference is called upon to sacrifice property really worth fifty thousand dollars for educa tional purposes for thirty-nine thousand dollars and throw into the bargain a most desirable lot in -the center of the city of Columbia! That would be a; bad trade-so it apears to us/to say nothing of the advantages of Columbia over the towns that are competing for the college. ' There is, however, a moral side * to the question. Columbia con tributed the larger part of the money that went into the present structure. The money was con- S tributed over half a century ago in 9 good faith "for the maintajinace of 2 a Female College in Columbia." S The charter of the insiitution so t declares. Are there no moral ob- 3 ligptions involved on the part of * the Conference? Can that body now break, with impunity, the compact made between the fathers 1k and the city ? It does2not seem so p to us. But 'many contributions ft were made to the Twentieth Cen 2 tury Fund for Columbia Female t< College. Do not those contribu- 'I tions strengthen, if that be possi- aa ble, the moral obligation already S set forth? ti It is a grave question, and in a view of all that is involved the Conference ought to think very se riously before it acts. The matter, in our judgment, ought never to Ui have been agitated. t tc Bishop Duncan is an excellentA presiding officer, even if he does sometimes by his cutting remarks knock out some of the brethren. It is always done in a pleasant way and no one takes offense. The Bishop is very much of a dictator I' and very positive in his rulings, to It is necessary to hold down and ci keepin control as large a body as 0' the Conference; if he did not he would soon lose control of the body. Both Re-elected. At a meting of the County Board of Commissioners held on Saturday, Mr. Jno. A. Suber was re-elected keeper of the County Home, and Dr. J. H. McCullough m was re-elected county physician. R Bread and Bread Making. Prof. Wiley, of the Agrieultural De- S psrtment at Washingtn, in an article on ''Bread and Bra Baking,'' says, "the nutritive value of wheat flour de pends largely upon the character of milling.' The most scientifically milled V *flour is "Clifton," made at Bransford prit Mills, Owensboro, Ky. Insist on your bar grcr sending it to you. Call at E. R. Thnn'. Hoae & Mcarty's and TL W. CHURCH EXTENSION ANNIVERSARY. tddress Last Night By Rev. P. H. Whiso nant, Secretary of the General Board. The anniversay exercises of t he Jhurch Extension Board were held last night. D.votion;tl -ervices were conducted by I)r. G. \\. Walker. After a few remarks by t he c retary of the Board, R v J \\. Elkin, in n lich he urged uplon the preachers the necessity of takig, full collections for the church ex tension fund the REV. P. H. WHISONANT, D. D , was introduced. Dr. Whisonant is from Louisville, Ky., and is secretary of the Gener al Board of Church Extension. He earnestly outlined the work of the Board and presented the demands upon the Board for funds and im pressed the importanne and the ne cessity of the preachers taking full collections for this fund. He stated that his Board now had calls from three thousand churches for aid from this fund. That there were also enough calls from foreign lands to exhaust all the money at the command of the Board. He, too, urged upon the preachers the importance of the necessity of taking collections for this work. THE FIGHT. FOR THE CoLLEGE. liepresentatives from Greenwood and Laurens Very Active. The Contest Warming Up. Large delegations have been in the city during the week from Greenwood and Laurens working For their respective cities to secure :he location of the Columbia Fe nale College in case it is decided :o move the college from Columbia. The contest last night was very warm, but of course all in a very riendly spirit. There were cau :nses and znieeting galore. Another lelegation arrived from Green vood last night. There was talk last night that he whole discussion might be cut bhort this morning by a motion to ostpone the whole matter to the iext session of Conference. The Bachelor Maids.
