i he Press and Banne: By Hujjh Wilson. Wednesday, July 30, 1884. Pyrotechnics. A fire was discovered on the roofs r the two small freight roc his near th Depot last Saturday morning, about on or two o'clock. The alarm was givei and a reasonable number of our citizen beard the call and pronitly assembled oi the ground, when they did all that wa in their power to save the property. On* of the Utile houses belonged to Messrs Cunningham <(- Teinpleton and the othe belonged to Mr. C. V. Hammond. The losses sustained are about as fol lows: C <fc T., house SlOO.Ol C. V.

Tlie fire originated in the gutter between the buildings that carried of the water from both roofs. The houses wort the merest shells and it would have beer difficult to set them afire anywhere else unless the incendiary had remained round about and chunked the fire now and then. A spark from the engine ma) have done the work, while it is possiolc that a fire bng may have lighted a tnutcli thereabout. When the fire was discovered it was described as being about tht wize of a flour barrel, and, from the wa.v the blaze spread, it is fair to presume il was about as inflammable as a kerosene barrel.

You will ? allow me to reply in vour columns, as many of your readers do not seethe Church It-cord. The brunt of my offending scms to he in r the use of the term "so-called" as applied to the University of South Carolina. ^ on think . that It shows a want of respect to the "able and learned gentlemen" who have charge of that institution, and you feel assured "that ' such able and zealous denominational educators as I>rs, Carlisle and drier would not ;) speak of the South Carolina 1'nlvorslty" so , disrespectfully. It is clear to my mind th it I you misunderstand my position, so I bee your j patience while I attempt toplace myself right ) on the records, | In the June number of the Church Record there Is a very short editorial which defines I my position on the University question so j succinctly that I bi>g tho privilege of quoting 'ilt in full. It Is as follows: 11 I. Wc are opposed to the State University, .! so-called, because It assumes to be that. Which )| It Is not. It is not a university, either in the i breadth of Its curriculum or the standard of 11 Its scholarship. >| 2. We are opposed to the "so-called" because j there Is no necessity for such an institution. | The State Is already provided with a number f of colleges of equal, If not superior, gradCi ' ' j 3. We are opposed to the "so-called" because ; I the State cannot afford the requisite facilities } { Tor primary Instruction,and until then should i make no costly experiments in higher educa! tion. II 4. Weareopposed to the "so-CflIied"bccau?e 11 of Its unfair competition with our denominational colleges by means of "fice -uliloii" and ' other rare inducements. , From this you will see that the conlemptu'(ous application of "so-called" to which yon i j so seriously objeet, does not arise from my op-! ' | position to the University as a Slate institution i > | but from the fact that "it Is not a University, | '! either In the breadth of Its curriculum or the i I standard of Its scholarship." Now If It Is nut i I a university in/acf and I think that even you I will iiardly make this claim for it?It must be I one only In name; and hence It Is a tlnlvcrsl-1 1 it? ... on r I ly "SO-Caltell, or II iniiuillilil;! >; ........ ? do not pretend to know what such eminent men as Drs.

I ain sure I would liave to add with some heartiness? i "so-called." In'loins; this I would not reflect ; I upon Its accomplished editor, any more than ': I now reflect upon the "able and learned stn I tlemen" In Columbia who have bef n nltched ' to a very moderate sized cart which We are all required to call "The Lightning Express I Railway 'J rain of South Carolina." , I So much for the term "so-called" as applied to the State University. For the present at least you must allow me to call a spade a spade; and hence, I am required by the facts In the ca<e to say, the South Carolina University. "so-called." , But the main question at Issue Is not In the , name. I atn opposed to the State Institution i because there is at the present time no necesi slty for an Institution of that grade In South ;'1 Carolina. We have four denominational co|| leges In this State belonging respectively to the Presbyterian, Baptist. Lutheran and Methodistchurches. You will hardly say that these Institutions In the ability of their faculties, In the extent of their courses of study. .. .. ?, ?i.?i? and m ineir Muuuiiiu ??i o<.iiwi..i-ni|., ...v umE , whit behind the college In Columbia. These colleges certainly meet every demand of the Jar.e and Influential denominations under whose auspices they ure conducted. But you nay, "suppose a parent be not a Methodist, u Presbyterian, or a Baptist," and we will add, a Lutheran?"would the Record compel him i to violate his conscience In doing what that j paper denounces so strong?the giving of su|>| port to another college than that which is In accord with his owri religious creed?" CeiI talnly not; and yet I fall to see the justice In ! J requiring the State of South Carolina to pro' vide out of the public treasury for the educational want* ot those who do not belong to the denominations named. Will you tell your readers whoare thus unprovided for, and In whose behalf you are so solicitous? Are they Episcopalians, Romau Catholics or Jews? i fcr these include In the main all or the cltlt zens of the State who are not affiliated more ! or less directly with these other denominations. In the interest of which one ot these sects Is the university In Columbia conducted ? Not the Catholics, for they are uncompromising In their devotion to denominational education. Hardly tfie Jews, for they arc weak both in numbers ahd Influence. Does not the logic of the Prrxs and If'inner force us to conclude that the unlverity of South Carolina Is a necessity to those citizens ot the State who are not affiliated with the Baptist, Presbyte, rlan, Lutheran and Methodist churches? ! which in plain terms means thai It Is a neI cesslty to the few thousand Episcopalians of the.Siatc? Do you not know that the South Carolina College would never have been revived as a college if the educational wants of nine-tenths of the peop e of the Slate had been consulied? fhey?the Presbyterian, Baptist, Lutheran and Methodist people of the State?did not not need or d?slre another college. Why then should they be taxed to provide educational facilities for the few who might not feel free to patronize their colleges ? Your iuxu"iKiii fyr the university, based nnrtn thp lunrt srrio. is so fallacious that to quote II is but to refute it. You say that "this . mouey (about 512,000) must go In one of two ways. It must go to the education of our youths, or else It must be paiil Into theTreasi ury of the Federal Government. At present this sum Is supplemented by h small sum, the precise amount we do not now recollect, hut we suppose not more than S20,000 or 830.000 annually." Small sum Indeed ! Two or three times more than the entire interest of the ! land scrip. So to keep 812,000 from going Into | the Federal Treasury, the Slate must pay an . additional amount of 820,Oi? or $*),00'i a year. There is economy and statesmanship with a i vengeance! But do you pretend to say that the 812.000can only be utilized by appropriating it to the State University? Is there no other way of using It for "the education of our youths"f I find that yon, Mr. Editor, mnke a very common mistake with reference t/?the character of a denominational education. You s iy "denominational colleges are to do more than give a llterurv education. They are to teach morality and the tenet* of the denomina| Hon to which they belong." That they are to ! teach morality is their glory rather than their '1 shame; but thut they are to teach ' the tenets ' of the church to which they belong" Is a com?l mon but radical mistake. Upon this false and mistaken view rests most It not all the preju, I dice against denominational education. Ihe ' cry of "sectarianism " "narrowness," "blgol1 ry" has been raised as an argument against the educational work of the church. The Igi uornnce which such j>?opIe display mlfrlit be , amusing If their spirit were not so contemptible. I <fo not hesitate to affirm tlmt the de nomlnatlonal colleges of South Carolina are pructically no more 'sectarian" than the Suite institution In Columbia. The course of study Is lurgely the same. So of the text books, ro of the modes of Instruction. Sectarian dogj mas are no more taught at Wofford than they i ?ri> nl rnlmnhliL Methodists. Iin.Dt.lKts. Pres i byterians and Episcopalians?ministers and ?! laymen?have received their collegiate tralnI ingat Wofford without having their denomi1 national bins disturbed In the least. And so ] of the others. Thise institutions are not i Theological Seminaries, hut they ure collegex I for the literary, classical and scientific tralnI ing of the youth of our land. While they do not teach the tenets of the church, they do 'teach the common moralities of the Bible, p They set special emphasis upon the value and i importance of Christian character. They 1 pay special attention to the moral character | of those who are to instruct, our youth, and require qualifications of heart as well as of i! head. Hence, no denominational college has ever been known to become a hot bed of infiI uelity. Can the Pres.? and Banner Bay the tame of State institutions? But this question of denominational educa' tion is too broad a one to discuss in all its ; j phases just here. Let me dismiss this part of ''thosubject with this general statement: Eld; ucatlon without moral culture Is the greatest | curse which can be inflicted upon an Individjualora people. In the educational work of i the State we have noRuarantec that the moral l, culture of our youth will receive that alienation which its importance demands. Chrls(| tlan educatton therefore Is a normal function I of the church. Every denomination must do 'j her share of this work, or be recreant to her high and holy trusts. You state that the South Carolina College r i and Citadel have educated "a large majority 6 j ol the men holding office under the government," and use this fact to show the superior -1 advantages of aState education to those who . desire to take part In the attalrs of government. You loose sicht or the fact that these institutions are much older than the denomlr national colleges of South Carolina?the colr! lege in Columbia being nearly three times ' older than the oldest denominational college * of the State. The denominational colleges 31 since the war have been turning out many more graduates than the State institutions. | and will continue so to do perhatMj for many J' years to come. Onlyavery small per cent of i I these are entering the ministry. By far the , larger number are making their Influence II felt In the social, educational and political up'ibuildlne of the Slate. It will not be many years before a majority of the leading men of 4 South Carolina In professional and political t life will be those who have been educated In our denominational colleges. ? You will allow me to respectfully enter my f>rotest againtyour utilitarian views concerting education. God forbid that the day should 0 ever come when an education shall come to 1 be regarded as an Instrument ol business, of making money, and of getting along in the . world. I am well uware that this is the ten, dency of the times, fostered no doubt by the ' Influence of the State in education, But whenever our people come to regard an edu. cation asslmpfy ameans to an end ; whenever our colleges go to teaching men their trades, " whether it be business or politics, Instead of educating thein; then must we bid farewell . forever to all deep and thorough scholarship among us. ' There Is one aspect of this question to which you did not allude, and which I will not therefore discuss. But permit me to sav in conclusion, that the authorities of the uni3 versiiy have by no means conciliated the opposition by the unfair competition of "tree > luition." As long ns the effort Is thus made to destroy Instead of fostering the denominu3 tlonal colleges of South Carolina, Just so long will the university be an occasion of discord, t. The friends of Erskine, Furman, Newberry , and Wofforl will never consent tosee their ? cherished Institutions legislated out of existence. If the State continues to turn a deaf , ear to their demand for Justice, and will not 3 . ||fn n-a ..'Hi nn. give llieci Hit orn luoiaw IVM ||IV| nv .-f peal to that great arbiter of our rights?the f ballot box?and we shall not lone appeal In vain.

"Whitewashing" was the order of the day, six of those being scored against one side. At the inning of the ith the score was three to one.

A had throw by each nine followed by a finely batted hall on the one " side, and the same by way of retail at ion it | would st-em, amid much cheering, ran the i score up on each side by three lallys. The two or three bad throws alluded to was the j only Inferior playing exhibited. Out of the eighteen players only fouron each side scored ! n run. a number never succeeded hi reachi lug first base.
