Ontilile Trimtees Havlnic Been Turn- J ml Out, will the Inwitle Trustees Nlmppy the Ontftide Contributions ? At request of a friend, we let the matter of Erskine College rest last week. We had intended to say nothing on the subject this week. But Mr. Chalmers having seen fit to take us at a disadvantage, by republishing In his own paperan article from the YorkvllleEnterprise, at a time when It seemed Impossible for us to make reply, we will offer a word or two. We would not do Mr. Chalmers an lnjustlcei ? ?- end therefore copy in full the article to which reference Is had. If tbeear marksdo not Justify In the following criticisms, we are greatly mistaken, and would'make bumble and ample apology for what we say. \Ve ask the reader to notice the words in the preface of the article, in which he says, "the following appeared a* an editorial," die. If Mr. Chalmers had not known that the article was not written by the editor, would be not have said, "the following editorial," Ac We leave the public to make their own infer; ence. If he published "as editorial" from the Yorkville Enterprise something which heel tiler wrote or inspired, was there not a deception ? If it be true that Mr. Chalmers either wrote or inspired that article, and afterward,, palmed it off on the readers of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian "as an article which appeared as an editorial" in another news paper, would not the act be reprehensible. Besides the wcrds at the heading under bis own initials, we beg leave to offer other reasons for believing that Mr. Chalmers is the ?-i nt tho ortirip which he would pre rcai au mvi v< 6ent to the public as the writing of an anoth er. The whole tenor of the article sounds like Mr. Chalmers, and some of the expressions are certainly his, though by a coincidence another may have used one or all of them For Instance, "It (Ersklne College) has not grown and prospered during the past flfteon yeors^proportionately with the church. " "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the bands ol Esau." If Mr. Chalmers didn't write that, he wrote something very like It. What does the Yorkville Enterprise know or care for the number ot graduates in 1877? How did the editor of that paper come to pick out that very year, If Mr. Chalmers had not pointed It out? * Now, for the final and absolute proof that h? did write It or else the author used some of the?words which Mr. Chalmers used at Synod. "Should a majority decide upon its removal such action on their part [we presume, those who object] would be little less than rebellion." Mr. Chalmers used some of these very words, or words to that eflect, at tho late meeting of Synod, if he was correctly t reported. Further, what does Mr. Chalmers mean by 'a majority ?" He writes artfully. Did he mean the "majority" of an eight to seven commission, or did he mean a "majority" Of the whole church f Or did he leave It open for future construction ? We merely reply to his article which "appeared as an editorial" in another paper, and which he copied In his own paper under circumstances which he perhaps thought would IL give it more force than if presented directly -W ? from bis own pen. At one time Mr. Chalmers talks eloquently I . abont the College being a church college, and when it suits his purpose belter he urges the Rock Hill business, and talks about locality and local interests. Mr. Chalmers by way of reproach, and to scare the faint-hearted says : "Such action on their part would be little less than rebellion." "I thank Ihee for teaching me that word."' It Is a good word, and correctly describes the situation. We will rebel, and rebel most vigorously If any attempt is made to take our money to build a college elsewhere. "Rebellion" is a good word and is associated with ail that is good and pure in this coun. tr1: This government, the nest me woriu ever saw, ie the result of a rebelllou. The very church whose sacred robes Mr_ Chalmers wears is the result of a rebellion. People never rebel except when they feel the heel of the oppressor. People never rebel, except from conscientious principles, and patriotic motives. Yes, sir, Mr. Chalmers, we wil 1 rebel, and kick most furiously If you take our money away from us and divert it from the uses for which it was Intended. We will even use the courts to make you aot with due respect for the rights and interters of those us who have trusted you and your associates with our money. To take Ereklne College from Due West, without refunding our money, would be an act dishonoring to even men in the secular pursuits of life, and would make the very nameof the Associate Reformed Presbyterian eliurcb a reproach in Abbevillecouu. ?y. What would the people say of a religious body who would lirst go to the outside world for money, and after getting it throw out ey ery outside trustee representing their inter ests, and then immediately on the heels of that outrage attempt to divert the money ? , People of all the different shades of reli. - glous belief have together contributed thousands of dollars to build, support, and endow - Krsklne College and her societies. During the last fifty years agents for the col ection or money nave goae to every pan 01 Abbeville county. Without regard to religious faith our people have given money. The church is therefore under a moral obligation to either refund our money or let the college stay where it is. The bourd of trusli - " tees are ttu.der legal obligations from which secret machinations and the impious calling for a divine blessing cannot relieve them. if anybody should thlnlc that Ersklne Collego Is a church College, and for that reason, a secular newspaper should remain silent, when its interests are assailed, we would remind them of the fact that the trustees who represented their Interests were turned out at the inception of this movement, whereby contributors outside the Associate Reformed church might bo deprived of their rights. We do not say that they were turned out preparatory to taking any undue advautage of the outside contributors, but we do say that it is the business of the Press and Uanner to look to the interests of all the people ui me uuuuiy, uuu mm uow iuu uuisiuc tuutrlbutors have no representative on the Board of Trustees:. In the proposed monstrous act whereby the contributors outside the Associate Reformed church are to be unceremoniously deprived of their rights. It is our duty, to the best of our ability, to speak for them; and to expose tho offnrtti nf Mirwo u'lin ivmilil ho i tisit rnrripn 'c. tal in perpetrating so great a wrong against mem. In conclusion: In order to relieve any of our friends who uiay be fearful lest some responsibility for the different articles which we have published on this subject, may rest ou them, we would suy that the editor of the Press and Banner wrote every line of each and every one of them, and without inspiration from any one whomsoever. That our reply may be seen by at least tlie| members of the Board, wc will make every known effort to haven copy in the hands of each of them to-day. r.. . rliy Leads. DONALDSON CLOSE DEHIND. HAMPTON TO THE REAR, No Election Yesterday for United States Senator. The Battle of the Ballots to be Kenewed To-day, Columbia, Dec. 9. At noon to-day the Senate and House ol Representatives went In an election fo: United States Senator to succeed Senator Hampton, whose term expires next March. in the senate. M. I,. Donaldson, received 1"> votes. Wade Hampton 14 votes. .1- r. M. Irbv 5 votes. IN THE HOUSE. M. L. Donaldson, received 53 votes. "Wade Hampton 31 votes. J. L. M. Irby 50 votes. Scattering 5 vote#. TOTAL. J. L. M. Irby K> votes. M. L. Donaldson 48 votes. Wade Hampton 45 votes. Moody nominated Hampton In the Senate. Evans nominated Irby, and Sirait did like service for Donaldson. In the House Yeldcll nominated Irby. Donaldson waR nominated by Brazeale, and Harden presented the name of Hampton. Hampton does not appear to have much chance, unless a deadlock should occur. In that case It Is more than likely that Governor Tillman will enter the race. In that event his friends say that he will sweep the field. A spirited debate took place in the Senate on a moiiun to munc uuminui.iu><o speeches. Hampton's vote represents his full stren gtb and that of Irby and Donaldson the vote opposed to him. Another ballot will be taken to-morrow. Tillman's Speech, Many of our citizens have read Tillman's Inaugural Address, and everybody is talking about it. It is more conservative than it was expected to be. The address is from the leader in the move mentfor ' entrenchment and reform," butil there is any entrenchment in it, we fail to see it. He has mapped out a big amount of work for the legislature, and though much of It is good and desirable, yet the results which he hopes to bring about must cost money. In various places he suggests good places and favorable holes in which the people's money may be deposited, without his being allowed to draw on it. One singular and remarkable thing in all that long document is the faot, that the Gov | ernor did not find a single department of the Government, or act, singly or collectively, of the public otllcers which commended Itself to his favorable attention. He proposes to tear up the present Government, and its admirable constitution, and do tbe work so thoroughly that there might not remain a trace or remembrance of a government so vile as our own. In saying this, we would also say, that we are glad that the Governor did not gooutol his way to create new antagonisms. Tlie Itoiuovnl of Er*k in College. From the Associate Reform Presbyterian. (The following appeared as all editorial in the Yorkville Enterprise and is published n* a contribution to the discussion on the removal of t lie colloge. J. T. C.) Ail Abbeville County seems stirred up over the proposed removal of ErskineColiege from Due West to ltock Hill, and the circular letter recently published has acteJ like a bomb shell on our friends of that county. Indeed, Brother Wilson, of the Press and P.anner, headset column article'upon Its removal with such flaming headlines as "Startling Proposition?Are we to be the Victims of an Eight to Seven Commission ? Has Anybody been Invited Up Into an Exceeding High Mountain ? The Question Mow Is Will Anybody Yield to the Tempter, Destroy Our Confidence and Tear Down Our College?'' To rom\ this as u'pll n.y th? nthar nnmpmnc articles on the subject one would hardly think that any Derson outside of Due Wesl or Abbeville County has contributed anything to the institution or tihouiii have outvoice in its government. Are "we" to he the vlctems, etc., will anybody betray "our" confidence, and tear down "our" college, etc. Wo had been under the linpresslou that the institution was the property of the whole Church, and not the special property of any section or portion of the Church. It was by the united effort of the whole Synod that it was organized and has since been supported. Its endowment was raised from the whole Church, and it we are corectly informed, more money has been contributed to it by people outside of Abbeville County than by tboxe in the county. This is not the special property of any place or people, To us it seems there Is no questioning the fact that the institution has not grown and prospered ly with tncl'hurch. I 1S77 Itiere were fourteen grailutiten,?lhe following year there were fourteen, and we believe lliere lias not been so large a number since, the average being only a little more than half that number. The attendance has not Increased as It should have done, as we are.reliably informed il Is no greater than it was fifteen yours ago. True, members do no not make un institution, but It Is a prety fair index of its growth and prosperity. If thesi then be facts It would seem that It was time the church wus seeking a location which ottered a Held for greater usefulness. Our friends clalui they will fight Its removal by all means know to lite civil aud ecclesiastical law. Is this showing the proper Christian spirit ? Should a majority decldt upon its removal such action on their pai l would be little less than rebellion. The Board of Trustess wroth meets on the 10th of December, In our judgment should not finally decide upon its removal, but should refer the whole matter with such recommendations as they may see proper to the Synod which meets in 1891. It Is loo much responsibility to lake, and besitfet tl e wboie matter should be carefully and deliberately weighed before any action is taken. The I.e^iMlnture.

The Wny Rock Hill Came to Make Her Mncniflcent Offer Tor Our Col< le^e. From the Rock Illll Herald. An Excited Contemporary.?The Abbe ville Press and Banner Is greatly con cerned about the proposed removal o Ersklne College from V)ue West and Its lasi Issue w?s principally mnde up of editorial! and communications on the subject. In reply to our contemporary, we desire t< say that the people of Bock Hill do not pro pose to enter into a contest with Due West If the college is to be removed from tha town, thou the citizens of this place intend U use all fair and legitimate efforts to have I located here, but they do not propose to en deavor to induce the board of trustees to agre< to its removal further thnn they havealreadj done by the offer already made. Another thing : We desire our contempo rary to understand that Rock Hill in makinf its recent offer of 840,000 and an eligible site did so after received information that it wa highly probable the college would be removet and the proposition being submitted that i this town would subscribe the amount namei It would In all likelihood be located here This Is the only connection the town of Rod Hill has had with the movement, hence thi slurs and insinuations of the Press and Ban ner are unfair and ungenerous. The peopli nf Rn/tir mil hftvfl too much enterprise an( energy and place too high a value on the es tahllshiiient liere of educational institution! of any kind to permit such a tempting ofle to pass unheeded. No business or education al institution has ever languished In thii community, and if Erskine College should hi removed to Rock Hill the Press and fianne may be assured that it will have fallen Ink [good hands and that it will then enter upor an era of unexampled prosperity. Becausi our town, which wns in woods twenty year ago, lias never had a colleee, our contempt] rary argues that it follows that Ilock Hill 1 not a desirable place for a college. If our con temporary proposes to contrast Rock Hil with Due west, agalnsf which town we havi :?> fight, the facts and figures are agalns him. Lot him ponder the following : "Leaving out of the account the local pa tronage of Due West, which would be fron three to fivefold larger in a town or city, am also the territory within sixty-five miles c either Due West or Rock Hill, viz: the coun ties of Newberry and Laurens, which hav furnished only 8 graduates from Erskin since 1876, the territory wkhln slxty-flv miles of Rock Hill 58 during th.-> same period "In 1876, 1877, 187!), 1883. 1887 and 1888 the' was not a single graduate from the Due WeK territory, while the Rock Hill territory suf plied from 1 to 8 efcch year. "In the four regular collegeclasses In 1889JX omitting local patronage, only 7 are from Du West territory, aud or the 7 not one is fror the counties of Newberry or Laurens, whil 21 ar?> from the Rock Hill territory. "Thus the number of graduates since 187! and of students in 1889-90, is three times large ' ?? 'Kan frnm th fromtneuocK n.111 lerruui^ Due West territory." In Reply to the Rock Hill Hernltl Last week we passed the article of the Rocl Hill Herald, but as Mr. Chalmers has seen fl to republish In the Associate Reformed Pres byterian an article from the York Enterprisi we have reproduced the Herald's article, eye at this lnte day. The article ol the Herald gives Mr. Chal mers completely away, and gives posltiv proof of the secret methods which he adopte to take a snap Judgment against the churc and people, whereby our college might b taken away from us. If the question of removing (he college ha been openly and frankly made, the Due Wei congregation would have heard of It? We believe the members of that congregi tlon, in excuse to the public for comproinli iug themselves so lately by electing hir their pastor, say that they did not know o this efTort. If the college was not secretly hawke about by men who inay possibly have wis! ed to become Its President, why was not th proposition to move It, made public belor iho ti-ivcers were set ? We wish the reader to note these words c the Herald : "Rock Hill In malcing its recent ofler t $40,000 and an eligible site, did so ajler recr.v ing information thai it was highly probable th college would be removed and THE PHOTOS TION BEING SUBMITTED that if the tow would subscribe the amount named, ac., <?c. Who authorized anybody to make the pr< position ? Did Synod do it ? Suppose Rock Hill did ofler a site an 510,000. The officers of Eisklne College, bo went told, have sworn that the buildings at Du West are worth #10,000. They have ulso a eligible site. Besides tills, about $20,000 have been sul scribed lor a new building. If Rock Hill offers a site, ami $10,000 Du West has given a site, building worth $50,0< and now stands ready with a subscription < about J20,(KX). Suppose there was no moral obligation t tbe people ol Abbeville, who gave at least part of the money, and suppose that the co lege hnd nothing to lose in moving to Roc Hill, and in removing Dr. Orier with Ihe pof |slbllityof electing Mr. Chalmers to his plac< Is there any busnets priucipie wuicu ?uui induce tlie trustees to remove the college ? Our friend, the I lock Hill Herald entire) misunderstands us, If lie thinks we woul make any tight against thai town. We met Honed Hock Illll only as incidental, and li tended no disrespect or unklndness to elthe that town or the public spirited citizens wh are willing to give the money. They dl nothing amiss. The words in reference t Hock Hill having no college wsre raerel meant to refute an argument which could b and ought to be answered by ridicule. All that paragraph which the Herald quote as to the local patronage goes for noililnj when it is stated, that trskine College Is church Institution?a church Instltutior however, which owes obligations to Abbevill county. If Mr Chalmers and bis friend, the mm with a big advertisement atid a little colh g are allowed to throw out Hue Weal local bui Ines. an then lo name all the bcncflciarics c the institution, of course they can brill a larger array of students. Almost without exception, the beneflclaric have come from the very sections wlile have boasted so large a number of studciili and besides electing the gentlemen ubov named, Presinent and Professor it wouli save beneficiaries a small sum in railror fare. These reasons, we think, are not sulllcieti to Induce the Trustees to remove the co lege. Again assuring our friend the Hock 11 iI Herald, of our perfect respect for both hi nisei and the good people at Uock Hill, we leav the matter. The LlrciiN? Fees. While we see no equity or just ice In glvln to the town council Jany part of thelicens Tees for the sale of whiskey, It might ho we enough to reserve for the town, say 10 pc cent, of the sum now charged. Kora licensed har In Abbeville thefoliowin fees are paid; For United Rlntos 8 ! " the Suite 1< ' " town u( Total % . Let the laws be changed so as to make th fees: To the United States S i To the State H " " Town ' " " County +f Total SG2 While we really see no reason at all for al lowing any part of the license feestogoint the treasury of the town, yet iu respect to n old custom and by way of compromise an to keep down hard feelings, we think that: licenses are to be granted that the count, might be satisfied with Si-Vi, ana then let th town have ?50. Besides the c50 thus given to the town, Mi town realizes large sums every year by ?ol lectltig fines from drunken men. Ifthe i.iwi makes that much it seems that we ought t< be satis/led, In counting the license fees th Ones for drunkenness should not be lost sigh of. They are an Important Item, atul shouli he all that the town should make at the busi ness. The host old Virginia Cheroots in (own Is n Sign s Bakery, THE GOVERNOR'S INAUGURAL. i Nome Editorial Remarks in Reference to an Able State Paper. ^ Knowing that our readers would be anxious to see Governor Tillman's luaugural address, we printed It last Saturday, and sent a copy to each of our subscribers. The address is a vigorous one, and, without j f any circumlocution, goes directly to the quest Hons dlscusscd. Ills lu plain English and t s gives no uncertain sound. It lis a statesman t like document, and will commend itself, and ) its author, to public favor. j Where the Governor deals with Jacts we are In the main, In thorough accord with I him, but when he enters the domain of theo- j > ry and speculation, as lie docs in the matter j t of tnc public schools, and in the assessment - of property, we disagree with him. t 3 The Governor, like very mauy theorists, i ' puts too mnch stress on tho necessity of pub- e lie education, and when thnt subject is up he - seems not to have a sufficiently sacred esti- i i mate of the citizen's right to own his own pro- c , perty.and to spend It for his own good, and s enjoy it in his own way, rather than for the < i good of others. f His idea of dividing the school districts ] 1 Into arbitrary lines and limited boundaries < . seems to us to be entirely Impracticable. ? Let the school houses bo located where they , 2 are needed, and let none be put where they are not needed. i We confess that the Governor's idea about ( 1 the assessment of properly Is not exactly clear to us, and we are quite sure that, under , s a system, where the tax-payer may play , r "hide" and where a non-paid officer Is to - play "seek," the public treasury will not be s troubled with a surplus. s Very few persons who have given the matr ter due consideration will deny that the pres iloni nun ijr,hnni nceiiMiveaa possible, and ' about as cheap as possible. b What the Governor says about our fathers b being designated In the Hchool books as "reb * els" has no force with us. As far as we took | s any part In the war, we are proud of being a i- "rebel." 1 1 It seems, too, that he would break up the e existing "combine," or "trust" In tiie school book business, but would establish another In the same breath. Cheap books can only be i- had when children, parents or teachers may go into the open markets. As long as partlJ cular books are prescribed, the complaint of 'i high priced and objectionable school books, ! will exist. In the matter of books as in the e matter of schools, we are already too much e governed. e The question of a constitutional convention ' Is one of policy, and one to which there are e two 8Ides. t What he says about giving the colored peo' pie their rlchts, and protecting them in the courts, ana against lynch law, are brave words fitly spoken. It is to be hoped that the ? Legislature may authorize the Governor to " remove, as ho suggests, any sheriff who allows e a prisoner to be lynched. This newspaper has never been an advocate >. for the Clcmson College, but now since it r seems to be the policy of the State, it Is a mate ter of congratulation to see the work practically considered. It will uo doubt be a costly experiment. The only hope that wecan have is. that its establishment may enable the Leg* islature tocutofl expenditures elsewhere, k The hint that theCltadei Academy may be i, swallowed up by the Clemson College, gives indication that its days of usefulness may be approaching an end. The effective work of ?, the Citadel is not to be denied, but for all n that the principle upon which it is founded, and I>ie plan upon which its benefits or charities are distributed are undemocratic?unjust [. to the great body of the people?in, that its e favors are extended only and solely to the educated class, while tlie illiterate are barred d even the hope of being benefitted by it. If h the plan of the competlllvo examination is e not changed, it would be well for the State il Its doors were c'osed forever?and the sooner onnurh of it under me uencr- ir c uu v ~ _ (] the plan of special favoritism to the Impecu. nious educated citizen. Another matter. The .State has no business to go Into military schools for the purpose ol j. making trained soldier*. It is right and proper lor the United States to have military schools, at which her soln dlers may be trained for war, and the General f Governinen*. should train as many as it needs. But the Slate need not arm and equip a military force, and it has no use lor an army, exd cent to preserve the peace 011 Its own soil. ). Under existing laws the ureat mass of our citizens Including all that ciass who most e need education, are specifically denied e every the hope of military. education, no matter whut their mental endowment or phy. slcal fitness to meet the requirements of a " good soldier. In making an examination of soldiers for . the army, every citizen?tiie educated, as well " as the uneducated?may be enlisted: but when the Suite otters educational facilities, \e the Illiterate are denied any benefits. '* What the Governor snys of educating the 11 daughters of the State reads very nicely and appeals to the sentiment and consideration ol } thecitlzen. But upon the whole it would seem that the Governor would send us all to school, and d leave nobody to work. The remarks of the Governor in reference to the Lunatic Asylum arc solid sense, based on e equity, Justice and a desire to eftect practical ic good to the people. The lunatic asyium has I K?.n for yearn, an expensive institution, at which, so the Governor says, its benefits are unequally extended to while nnd black. II t- a law wereeiiKCted requiring the counties to pay (or their own lunatics we liavo 110 doubt that there would be, in very short time, much >c room to let in mat institution. K) With proper restrictions, to prevent cruelty to convicts, his suggestions as to the management of the penitentiary are good, and deserve consideration at the hands ol the Geneo ral Assembly. Wneu t lie Governor struck the mule question however, lie hit the people amldship, I- and seems to have lost his own compass, k Wouldn't any subscriber to the Press and Banner laugh to see the Governor looking over the larnis iu Abbeville county for those J. hundred und fifty doilur mules 01 which he j speaks as being returned at SaU? ii the Governor should issue an order to the sheriff" to lind one hundred such mules in y this county or go to Jail tor the remainder 01 tj his life, we would never see our worthy sheriff again. The Nation woula mourn for her beloved son, and we would all go up to tell him 1- good-bye, even before he had u chance to look >r lor those hundred and fifty dollar mules. They are not here. Governor. Somebody's 0 been fooling you, and imposed on you one of d those old chestnuts, which BUI Nye t-ays has ? side whiskers on their front teeth. The Governor evidently means well when dwelling on >' the mule question, but he certlanly was not e 011 our public square last tiale l>ay?to seethe old lraaies that were brought here for ..wni. to feed in future. The age. uual ? ity and value of the immense multitude ol lame, blind, spavined, worn oui, and perished '' animals to be seeu at our boneyard 011 auy H Sale Day would be a revelation to our new 1, Governor who deals so eloquently on tbesubc Ject ol hundred and lifty dollar mules. We thought the newspapers and the polILIelans had exclusive rights to use that old u chestnut about lien farmers?of whom there c are more tlian.two thousands hi this countysporting hundred and llfty dollor mules ; but ?* It seems that somebody has passed lhat old >f chestnut oil on the Governor.. It was aLaugh,, ty trick, periormed no doubt by some rabid " anti-Tlliuianile. The Governor laments lhat our properly 1? is not assessed higher for taxation. lie thinks h it would be all the same to us, 11 the assessment was doubled?tho taxes would be the i> same, as the number of mills would be ree duccil. If low assessments will pay the debts I llicie is good reasou for keeping them low. As assessments are raised our school tax and (l levies lor railroadsare increased. The Governor in a dlglultled, Impressive , and determined way opens up the Charle>t?n county question and the three Senators w hich ' I he old territory now sends to the General Assembly. 1 he up-country,and fair men every I where, will wish the Governor a god-speed In bilnging Charleston to taw.

The Governor says that the Jury Commissi Kioner is the most important In the Slate, for the reason that he may "tlx" the Juries. in this statement we dissent. - As Jong as the Jury commissioner has ns faithful associates as Las the jury commissioner In Abbeville, ahd as long as the Juries are ie openly drawn, he could not -'fix" the Jury, even it disposed to do so. ,rt We will tell the Governor of an officer,? ] J" w hom he steins to have overlooked?who Is H); ol four-fold more Importance than thecommisKi 'sloner.

We wonder If it would be necessary for our people to petition our Legislature for a new charter for Greeuwood. The editorial In last week's PreRS and Banner on the killing of the nogro Stark, is freely and favorably commented on here. If the ugero had been shooter, the white man the shot, the negro would have been lynched as soon as caught. Is this solving the negro problem. We have carefully read the inaugural of Governor Tillman. Taken as a whole we are more than pleased with it. We are not an advocate of lynch law, but circumstances perhaps, sometimes make it tolerable. The recent case at Central being a case of this kind. Yet we deplore and must condemn, the bungling and Inhuman way the wretch was murdered. We regret to lose, as citizens, the officers of the O., O. <fc N. road and congratulate Abbeville on her acquisition, which at most for either town, Is only temporary, except as to the establishment of a round nouseaud repair shops, this, however, is a small defeat to Greenwood which we gently admonish our Abbeville friends not to over estimate. Our citizens are well pleased that tbe Conference returned Mr. Stackhouse to this chtirch. The schedule to Augusta Is now very inconvenient for persons living above McCor mick.

It is rumored about that the young people are going to give a very swell entertainment on 22nd. We are always glad to hear of the young folks enjoying themselves in an innocent way. Miss Maggie Flnley who is attending Converse College came down to spend Thanksgiving with her parents. Several of our young people attended the hop at Ninety-Six Thursday evening, and returned by the "light o' the moon" alter having had a most enjoyable time. Most of our young people who are attending various colleges in the State, will spend the holidays at home. Mr. T. T. Talley made a flying visit'to Columbia. There was a delightful dance at the Male College Monday evening. Mrs Annie Wat*on with her family are spend ing the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Tin:raous. Many gentleman enjoyed a delightful hunt on Thanksgiving Day. The wedding invitations for Miss Efflc Brabham's and Mr D. A. Langhorn's marriage are out for the 17th of this month. The happy young couple will leave Immediately for V Irglhla where they will spend some while _ * * '-iawhu r\t i ii#* visiting me relatives ?uu u groom. Col. James G.

We hope they will visit us oftener as we are always glad to welcome visitors In our midst, especially when tliey are from our county site. Mr. w. S. Montgomery spent a few days In town last week. General Hoke was with us for a few days last week. Miss Bessie Glbbes returned from Columbia last Monday after a delightful visit of three weeks. Don't forget to read Cameron's new advertisement, and see what his new scheme Is now.

We bad gone down on invitation of l)r. Maxwell, who very kindly took us In charge, went round with us and drove us around in his carriage. We met with the kindest reception at the hands of the good people of Greenwood. In some instances gentlemen with whom we wero not heretofore acquainted gave us liberal subscriptions. We found much more interest and a warmer feellne for the college than we had anticipated. We secured about $500. Dr. W. L. Hood, Mr. Ramsey;Blake, one of Greenwood's pushing and successful young men and Mr. J. R Blake, Treasurer eloct of Abbeville county, gave us active assistance. We were glad lo hear Dr. Maxwell speak so favorably of our former townsman, Dr. W. L. Hood, who Is building up a good practice. Prof. Blake also was most cordial to us. We were in the handsome stores of Messrs. Rosenberg & Co.. Durst <fc Co., Bailey, Rarkesdale & Co., and Reynolds &. Co., who contributed. The firm of Sproles & Co., do an extensive Uniting business, and are headquarters for "Standard oil." Ouc of the pushing enterprises of Greenwood is the marble works of Level A Ciague whose work is becoming popular about Due West. we found Dr. Millwee very busy at the extensive plantot the Oil mill, which has been very much enlarged since we saw It. The great hotel of T. E. Riley's Is holding the fort at the old stand and serving his customcrr belter than ever. President W. L. Durst took us all over the factory building which in being roofed now and the big chimney put up. It will be 125 feet high and the " black smoke" will be seen for miles. The factory building will be an elegant structure when completed. We were especially pleased with the neatness, comfort and econemy of the aperatlve bouses which are being erected. We look In the big Alliance warehouse? 180 feet long by 90 wide? and saw Mr. J. R. Abney the manager busy storing away cot ton. The building will hom ouw Daies. We looked at tlie cotton compress, Mr. Julian Sibly manager. The machinery connected with It seems very powerful. We found Dr. Maxwell to be a geulal, courtly, whole souled gentleman. He has an elegant house, while Mrs. Maxwell, a charming lady, presided over it with great care. They Cut us under obligation by their generous ospltalliy. 11. S. G. ? . i ? ?

Beligion applied in the force which ! makes itself felt among all, even those who care little or nothing for doctrices. Those not religiously educated know little of a fine spun theory or a wel constructed theology and care less, but a hungry man understands the gift of a loaf and a kind word, the tattered beggar child "is won by a smile and the gift of a warm coat. If some good man would take the place of that tired street car driver who has already finished his six day's work, the latter might be less severely critical of those "Christian people that say it is a sin to run the street cars 011 Suuday but who ride all the same." The thought is suggestive of the recent act reported of a young girl of wealth who, in order to give a poor sewing girl a holiHav h*?r nlAf?p at. the mnnhine ftnd did her work faithfully, thus retaining for the tired worker the situation on which her bread depended. If the recipient of the noble kindness live a hundred years she could not forget the act; the uiost beautiful thought offered for her wind's cousolation unaccompanied by applied religion would be lost probably in the crowding anxieties of her laborious days. The question of Hunday railway , trains, of the Sunday opening of gal- J leries of art, and of similar places of i instruction and quiet diversion is one ' not to be settled with a word. There ] is no sin in these things of themselves. Let some true lover of his kind take , the place of the regular worker and give him a day off, allowing him time to make acquaintauce with the children he usually leaves asleep when he irnps tn his work and finds asleeD on liis return. There is no more "Bin" in a railway train per ?e, or in a livery stable hack than in your own private equipage, the wrong lies in making meu work seven days in the week and in the incidental evil of unnecessary travel. The train which bears the man of pleasure may also convey the minister of the gosppl on his mission, or the physician on his way to relieve | suffering humanity, or a parent to a dying child. Help your neighbor, that is the best testimony the world desires of the soundness of your religious professions.
