i & s Press and Banner. A11I5KVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, July 15, 1885. Juil^o JiflvorN S.oilers. .lunge .MoIver has puMisneu iwo icuers m d'-P.-ns,' ?,r (lie action of the hoard of trustees ?>l tii-South Carolina College in giving free tuition. The friends of the South Carolina College having remained .silent so long, the articles of the Judge wero not looked Tor. for our own part, we think lire question oi fcocplng the South Car??litt.t Coil ego open should l?o met. The issue might Just as well l>e met on the free tuition question as on anything else. To our ccrtain knowledge the opponents c?f the South Carolina College have tor thirty years, found some pretext lor lighting that Institution, and they might Just as well be met on tlio free tuition question as on anything else. If the "free tuition" was no! present, our poverty or something else would be urged With equal energy. The Stato of South Carol lea furnishes a r??Hego, whoso benefits are oftfcred toall the ??iy* of the Stale, ami as it is the duty of the State to see to the education of the people, the Commonwealth would be derelict In its duty If It resigned the educational Interests of the jstatc to the different. denominations. As long as preachers nick to their le legitimate business of preaching Christ and Ills religion, we are estopped from talking back at them, but when they enter the arena of politics and assume to go upon the domain of State rights, then we are called upon to renlv. If the friends of t he south Carolina College are conscious of the correctness of their position on the educational question, then let them enter the Held and resist the encroachment upon the organic law of the land which forever forbids the Joining of Church and State. Tho question of Church supremacy or State Sovereignty might Just as well settled now as later. While It may be possible?if the friends of the South Carolina College remain silent?for the religious colleges to uflect public sentiment, it cannot be done if the issues are met ?and if the issues are met the itcnomin'iUnn-d colleges arc sure to bo injured in the public estimation. A comparison oI the merits of * the dillercnt colleges, which Is sure to follow, will be In favor of Die South Carolina College* The South Carolina College litis never said a word against any of the denominational collegcs although tlic spokesmen for I lie tlcuomivatiowd colleges It seems to us, would rely chiefly upon unkimlness for the South Carolina College. It Is greatly to be regretted that this war of the colleges .Is to be inaugurated, but. if it comes, then every man should do his duty. Wo think there is not a friend to the South Carolina College that Is not more friendly to ft me denominational col'ege than lie Is to the South Carolina College, and henee the great regret for the war. Very Kiml Indccil. The President of the Willininston Female College soems to take a great interest in the welfare of the students of the good Colleges throughout tho State, and among other things, he says: "We nbf fve, ihercf^re, with Jeep rtsr. t. th<> manner In which tile nanu s and clmrms of t):e .sweet ^ir! nm v??t*-Afl<*it in tho heu'EtMiien*." ! This same President publishes great lists of yonn? Indies In every Issue of his paper. It cannot be the fact then that tho names of ihe young ladles of tho good Colleges appear It) the newspapers that gives such "doep regret," but tlio "manner" that disturbs his equanimity. If fltling and appropriate words of commendation or the young ladles of the good Colleges give him pain, then ho is a suH'orcr Indeed. If the President of Ihe Wllllamston Female -College would direct hls"singlcldea"tosotncthlng else than to disparaging remarks al out the good Colleges of the State, it might 1c more profitable to Ills own school. Nobody objects to his giving secretly u certificate of graduation to one of his own scholars, nor <loos any one objoct to Ills sending a scholar j out of Ills school without the neighbors knowing anything about It. That rulo seems well enough for his College, and we do not doubt. If we were a patron of that Institution, that we would want our ward graduated with as llttlo notoriety as possible. We have no opposition to tho Williamston Female College. It Is doing a good work, but what we object to, Is the everlasting flings at Colleges that give commencement exercises. Cnttlc and Stock Show. On the 13th of August our friends at NinetySix will have an exhibit of flne cattle, horses, and mulos, which wo know would reflect cretliion ine ucm s'.wmhisius wuuwj ??? United State#. In no purl of the Stato have the people paid more attention to grain and *t<>ck than about tho "Old Star Fort," and we know tlio show will bo a success In every *ense of the word. If those who aro In charge <of the exhibition will premlt a suggestionwo would suggest that a placo be designated where a register book shall bo kept In which shall be entered the name of the exhibitor, as well as tho sire, tho dam, the age, tho namo< and tho kind of aliiinal exhibited. This would be useful for refer, to, as, well as for publication In the newspapers. The War Between llie Stales. The Laurcnsville Ilerald and tho yews and Courier have had a tilt on the causes of the war, and so far as wo have noticed, tho discussion will not likely get up a personal war or side show. Both parties have furnished the public with able and readable articles, but the discussion will influence tlio minds only of tho younger generation. Men who lived In South Caroline before tho war, as a rule, have up their own minds which cannot be changed. When this generation of old soldiers bavo passed away, then It will bo In order for tho new generation to reler to books as authority, and it 1? well that historlaus l??vo left records which reflect tlio truth as seen by them. - - ^ lion.

The tsaine cards aro dealt anew to the same men, and the new deal merely changes tnc cards Xrom one hand to another. It Is the same game and the simo cards, although the deal Js a new one.

I reached the camp about eight o'clock Tuexday evening and reinained during the nluhL ami until about three o'clock the next afternoon. I made 11 careful inspection ol the convicts, their sleep1111; quaiters, rations. iVe. The location and * management <>t the e.unp were tho stinie as at *j mv last inspect ion. f 'i'hero are ninety-nine convicts under the * control of Mr. C. M.

Henry " Porter, the convict who was so severely whip ? j ped l>cfore the h'st inspection, was still at the camp. hut his general health had Improved I an.I his wo ni'l was healiii:: kindly. Frank j'j I Smiley, who was a'so reported as being so *' | verelv whipped, had been oi:t at work, but)?. was in camp with dint*: Iiom. There ssllltai j need for about fifteen mattresses, but in other | respects there was a decided iniprovenient in ' I the comfort and cleanliness of the sleeping P <limrters. Fre>h vegetables, such as cabbages, " iilsli potatoes and beans, are is-ued three times a week, and onions are issued at every * meal. I think that I saw an improvement in the . general condition of iliest* hands. 1 am sure 1 that I saw no sl-jus of failure in health and " strength. I found two men out on tho works | " who complained of having diari turn, and I |. requested ('apt. Cairoll lo have them attended to as early as possible. In my judgment, these were cases of acute dianlnea.

The Crops About Wnltmlln nnd In l'ickcns County. 1 [ Kvowcc Ojmicr.] I Professional business called us to Pickens i t last week. and. suing by private conveyance, I c we were enabled to sue the crop prospect on; the road. Alter getting three miles from i Waltialll there was no appcuranco of drought; 1 In the growing crops. On the contrary corn and cotton by their healthy and growing ap- j * pearance indicated as good seasons as couid j1 i be desired. In places we noticed signs ofi* : heavy rains in the washing of lands, but tho '' damage was not as great as report led us to;1 i expeet. The corn ciop, with continued tcasonr, * I will be the laraest grown in the two counties i f i for many years. Not only has more been j) planted, but, wtth rare exceptions, it lias been j > cultivated well. On common unbind we saw ' lietds ol" corn which bid fair to rival the yield j11 of good bottom land in ordinary years. Cot- |1 j toil illoU'4 the road was generally u truer man | I si Unit Walhalla and looked thrifty. \Ve saw I >j several Ileitis badly needing work or being turned into pasture land. Out mostly ilio cotton was el win ami well worked. The foal i spo'.s show cither that those planters have I I overcropped themselves or have not used the [ ? j same industry us their neighbors. Ask the ! c ; reason and you will ?et the reply that too i f j much niin has prevented keeping tho crops t . clean. We know the-cason I.as been wet, but i a I v. hy can't men working adjoining lands keep 11 j their crops in nearly iike condition? While f sit Pickens we learned there had been more 2 j wheat made than was expected in tho early I | spring, iliotieh the crop is short. O,its did not 1 ! improve us much as wheat, but the spring H j seeded have yielded very well. fj I Sir. .James II.

Tin v aro too ready lt> accept statements hichstpporithcories, nod too quick to reject fads liiiMi arc Iwsl ilo to tho conclusions tliey seek tn Mich. A few days ago we published nn interview with Gen. irinkerlwlf, of OhK who hail Just returned to lil? mite alter a lone visit to several of the Southern tatcs, where ho made careful Inquiries relative to the egro. In this interview Gen. l!iinkerliolf said that o was satislied that there would never be a luslon of le white mill black races in the South, lie whs contlent, he Niiil, tllat a negro who showed the possesIon of white blood, weuld, in a generation or two, be u unusual sight in the Soii'h. lie gave reasons for liiuking tlmt white blood will wholly disappear from le negro race, whlch'writers on the otlior Mile of the uestioii will hardly attempt to controvert. Mr. lienet, in his Newberry address, gave many very trong reasons why lliere can be no fusion of the lack ami white races in the South. "The negro race," e saitl, "can claim no kindred with tho Anglo-Saxon nee. In our splendid inheritance of traditions, histor, Inni{mice, literature, glory and renown tho negro ins no share; nor will he In the future history of our iice, a? It works out Us destiny In this Western hemtphtie, have part or lot in the triumphs that surely wait us. The seven millions of the African race now vlng in these Southern Slates may by natural inreuse grow to bo a people of seventy millions, but hey will be negroes sii 1, as distiuct from the white ice as they are to-day. And it Is well that It should e so; it is best for them and best for us. The Creanr, who made the blnt'k uniti and the white man, the illow Mongol and the red Indian, established those ire lines for wise anil beneficent purposes.

Such a doctrlno Is opposed > the lessons taught by the history of race*, lirliir>n, morality and pride of race all cry out against it." Mr. ileiii't Said thai the negro mtiet work out his wn future, and that It would be pretty tmteh ns he leeti'il to make it. Tho obstacles in the way of Ilia rogtvssmust bo removed by himself. He has no ai tieitlar reason f r expecting llelri from tlio while nan. ''The two races, said Sir. lJenet, "will move lo ig parallel lines of progress. never meeting, never roscii.g. but moving on in harmony. The same laws rill nrotict each lu the enjoyment of life and liberty :id in the pursuit of happiness, but they will livu liner wel!*deiiiied, distinct nnd diffe rent social organ'zalon>. Only thus may tile negro hope to lise In the eale of civiliz.i:ion? not hy imitation of tho white tail?aniijthus far li s civilization seems lo consist i.lely ill tuat?but in evolving for himself and by iims> If a civilization suited to his race peculiarities nd eharactoi littles.

But he lias that in nine sum11 men;lire which, If encouraged and inrt-nsed, will open for him tlie gates that bar tho path n progress. lie has pride of race, not very strongly cvclopod. but even in Its embryo stage It Is the prom10 of Ai*ric.".n civilization. It shows Itsclt In the nero'a desire to have his own churches, his own schools, fith negro preachers and teachers.'' The fusion of tho two ritcos dors not mmn tho pro* net-on of n race superior to either. It means the [egrodatUm, and perhaps the ruin, of both.

Most Georgia fanners would consider land rich enough lor their purposes if rich enouuh for clover, and would put It In cotton or coin.

Hut It is altogether dlllerent In tins ease of the ccwpea, ft plant Unit Is so Indifferent Itt Its requirements that. Itf peculiarity In this respect has furnished us wlili a familiar phrase for describing t he ahject poverty of a soil?"so poor Ihnt it won't sprout peas." Notwithstanding this diilerenec in the requirements of the and the clover, they both act on thesnme principle in Improving the soil. Clover requires lime in the soil to glvo It a start; the pea Is not so particular. Uoth require potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen, as do all other crops, Hut these, as well as others leguminous plants, possess a faculty of appropriating phosphoric acid and potash from the soil that Is not available to ordinary croys. They are gross feeders and good digesters. They send their tap roots down Into the deep suhsoil and bring up the phosphoric acid, potash and lime, assimilate them into their own structure, and then decay and leave the saino elements in a form perfectly available to other plants. Not only that, but the pea and clover, while rcquircing a large percentage of nitrogen for their development, as shown by analysis of the plants themselves, seem to have a method, peculiar to themselves, ot getting a supply. The air is nearly all nitrogen, and from this source of supply these plants seem to have a monopoly. So, In addition to the patash and phosphoric add before In the soil tint, now digested and placed where It will do the most good, nitrogen Is actually added to the crop that was before almost entirely deficient. During the process of fermentation and decomposition of the stems, leaves and root.s of tho renovating crop, other portions of insoluble elements are rendered available by the chemical reactions, so induced, and nitrification, or that process by whlcn the nitrogen of tho air clr dilating Mi an open, porous koii, in conuenseu and tixed In the noil, is promoted.

Especially, thit year of late seasons, plowing, or more properly, harrowing, will be necessary throughout the month. The plants, having attained "a vigorous development and commenced the formation of fruit, must t.ot now be checked by unJuo mutilation of the roots. We aro not of the nnmher who advocate root p' lining of ordinary fruit crops. There may havo occured exceptional Instances when a lioldof cotton nr corn, at a peculiar, not-nndeistood stage, was benefited by deep plowing and Mot-cutting. Until mu?t bo a deadly disease' that requires so heroic a remedy. Let the plows run shallow and broad every ten days or two weeks ihrotich the cotton llehls. There is no danger of any farmer plowlnc lilfi cotiun too often. If the weather should turn dry,if w? should havo one of those dreudedjuly drouths,shall tho plows continue to stir 'lie lied of dust without a ruin between times ? Farmers differ in judgment on this point, as they do on many others. Our own opinion is, (hut plowing in drv weather, If properly done, axohling root-cntiing, will do no harm and p -ssibiy may benefit the crop.

The idea of plowing deep to "bring up the moisture" dttilng ft drought is inlluclous. Wetter let tbo moisture stay where it will do some good, Instead ol btlnglng it to the surface to evaporate into the air. The practice of "hilling" or drawing the soil up around eacl) stalk Is about obsolete on every well regulated farm. Some one has described the process as "taking the soil from where It Is needed anil putting It where it is not needed." It Is the opinion of many good farmers that the best way to utilize the cow-pea as a soli renovator is to sow the seed broadcast, at the last plowing of corn, at the rate of half bushel or more to the aero. It Is certainly the cheapest plan, as it costs absolutely nothing but the soeil and the sowing. Sowing peas on stubble after small grain Is a very uncertain way, owing to a frequent difficulty In plowing the land at the right time. There is hope in the Conch pea. which requires but a few qunrtsof seed to cover an aero in vinesJuly i* the month of preparation for fall harvests ol turnips and many garden crops.

He was glad the club was going to discuss the subject. He hoped it might do good. Farmers were wild on big fields where they can sweep things with a big plow and reaper. If the wife would say slio would like to have some beets or onions planted she would be snubbed, and told he end no time to fool awny. If she wanted such things, tilant them herself. He was going to the Hold, where he could do some good and keep his team going."

I Our cdncfttlon Is Tint confined to tho ichool-iuom. ? Too many ol onr graduates. both boys and girls, act as II they thought their education was tinlshed when jj thi y received tho collece diploma. S>o more fatal mis- # take was ever made. In truth. It Is only then begnn. Like the athlete In tho old Grecian gtuies, you have t nnly been practising for tbo final contest^ yoa have # OL'VIl IIJPIWiniEUH UIU eur|lllis urou ill l^iniinvu < > <. v have been developing the |>owers of tho brain;?take j care that you be not defeated by stopping to gather ^ tho golden apples of pleasure scattered along your pathway by your competitor In tho nee. Our women do not read enough. lluw many bunks Containing solid mntttr does tho average lady graduato read , within the fli-si five years after receiving hor diploma? Five years from to-day each member ol tho Senior _ Class of this Institution will bo able to answer this question f?r herself at least. I ki ow very well the .( plea which the women who wish to explain away this tact have upon their lips?their domestic dntles, the carts of the houi-o-hold, and the lack of an Incentive to study which men havo who know that every fact learned can be util Zed In their professional work. This sounds very well and certainly wo ought not to expect women to bo as well versed In literature as j, men, nut there is danger of pressing tho argument too Car. Wouldn't life bo all tho sweeter and tho ?a?ler M and the happier, II our womeu would once and a while lay aidde the needle and refrerh themselves with tho " beautifully rounded periods of Macanlayf Would tho health-sign upon the cheek grow any smaller, If occa- ^ slonally they would allow their eewlng-machino to cease Its continual clicking and would go with Walter 1 Scott and see those spots of historic Interest which under his hand shine with "? light that never was on land or sea?" Would the golden bowl of life be brok- li en any sooner, If our women. Instead of the exhanstlng tl tread-inlll existence which too many of them lend, t ' would steal away in Imagination and hear the senile li Virgil sine again "of arras and o| tbo hero," follow fi Eneas as he Hies from tho Greeks and Irom burning e | Troy with his father upon his back, and listen onco t again to the sweet love-story of Eneas and of Dldof p Grant that they do not"expect to assume tho responsl c bilitles of professional Ife, yet Is It not truo that the v profession of literature In its wider and broader sense s Is open to them ? Have they not by systematic effort 1< ascended tho hill of science and, like Moses, surveyed t tho "land that llowcth with milk and honey"?like tbo o 1 ahildren of Isreal, heard tho prophetic voice bidding t thein, 'Go In and possess the land," taste of Its golden I fruit, and quaff Its pleasant water*! Hero I would t remark that our school-girls when thoy leave the col- li lege walls are too prone to lay asldo tho accomplish- { , mcnts tlint ornament inetr education. imi oosrrvntlon applies particularly to painting and music. How v often does It happen that our womun after years of s , daily prnclIce, sfier their ear* hare been cntllvated so I that they can instantly doted the discord produced by k a single false nole, close their Instruments and cease s t<> entertain us with music and herslster songl What 1 hallowed associations would be rovived, how often n sweet, tender thought* of the past would como gild- n 1 ing down the years, how oft tho old would bo pro- r nounced better than the new? What strains would f sound more delightful to childhood's ears, if our I mothers would only repeat once again the songs they r , used to sing In the "beautiful days long ago f" ? Again, it Is well to bear In mind the 6ct that life b itself Is one great school. Tho distinguished lecturer, ' Proctor, said that ho wanted to go to New Orleans to the Exposition to get some fresh materlnlfor his lec. tores, and that he often picked up Ideas as ho walked , along tho street. Emcr.?on says: "If you would learn to write, 'tis In tho street you must learn it. ' Both for the vehicle and for the alms of the fine arts, you must frenuent tho public square. The people, and not the college, Is the writer's homo. A scholar ? is a candle which the love and deidre of all men will f light." Our daily experience Is a text-book which we ? should master well. The occurrences ol to-day will . ' be history to-morrow. In every blade of grass that ' ' grows nnrl waves to and fro with tho softest of the r zephyrs, In the sweet notes of tho morning warbler, _ In every tlower that blooms, In the magniHclcnt roari Ing of the cataract as the waters gofoamlng and dashing down, In the terrible cyclone that comes swooping " [ over a continent, leaving death and desolation In Its , track. If wu would only ilsten we would hear tho voice (1 , ot wisdom saying, "Knock and it shall bo opened unto L you," { Churntccr and Truth art Mirrored In J | the Face. 1< V Women of character wo need to-dir. "Can any- < ' body remember when sensiblo men and the right sort c of men and the right sort of women, wore plentiful ?" ti asks a distinguished writer. The right sort of women means women of character. It means women In whoso faces Innocenceand truth are tntrrored foitb? women whoso very countenances betray diameter. 1 Shakespeare says. '-There's no art to find the mind's construction In the face," but that is just Ilk# a great inanv other things he says which must only be taken In a limited, modified sense. Wo are constantly reasoning from the face to tho character. We "know moreaboutthe hook of tho human conntcnnnee than we do about tho IStbies thatllle on our centro tables? ? ihnu ?r UVk. , slcr or of Worcester. Columbia's own gifted sod, the , silver-tongued Preston, believed that there was , some art to find the mind's construction In the faco. who n he held tlio llttlo boy up before the jury and asked them if that boy could have committed the crime of innrder. If a lawyer wants to save bis client wrongfully accused, let hlin send to the rogue's gallery and get the pictures of crime and nut thorn ^ alongside of injured innocence. Wo all study the liuinau face. We have learned some lessons Ihero to-day. But this Is by the way. We want more womon whoso faces evince principle and character. Wo need them ft! to give tono to society, to disabuse our inlnds of ?. false views and notions of life, and to create a healthy J' public sentiment. The collected will of tho women 'J of society can lend In whatever direction they see flt. }' Women of Carolina, raise tho standard of society ?J higher. Don't let money bo so creat a factor here. " Drive gold back and brlns merit forward. We are all too willing to full as worshipers at the shrine ol mammon. The rich heiress who goes to tho watering 01 place in her prlvute palace car is not likely to be a * wall-flower. Sparkling diamonds and brilliant cos- w tumes are unduly attractive In tho social gathering. ?' Tho prominence given to the description of the rich- J? ness and elegance of the attire of tho bellrs of the 'c ball-room?the heralding to the world of the names P' of the women who bear off the honors for graco and physical beauty, is well calculated to croate a false L" standard, nnd to draw our attention away from ] those softer, sweeter qualities whleli are woman's highest charms. * The real stirs of the social circle are those (rentier " spirits, who shrink from tho public! >-'a*e ntut whose J1' presenco Is felt by the Influence which they exert as soft and inellow ns the light dispelled by tho queen nf 1 night?fashioned they nro nfter the manner of Milton's aI Eve, "for softness sho nnd sweet, attractive grace."

"Let your women keep slli-nco ill tho! hurches, for it is not permitted uuto them to speak." . For it Is a shame for women to speak in tbo church." J Let the woman learn In silence with all subjection," ' But I suffer nit a woman to teach nor to usurp auliorlty over the man." These are the words of that ook which has made woman what she Is to-day; j rhlirli hss elevated her In the scale of being, and has : nnferrcd upon ber all berlnllnence and dignity.
