C., might very appropriately be termed the home of Colleges and churches. It Is built od the highest part of a gently sloping ridge, among beautiful shade trees, and contains about seven hundred inhabitants. Strange to say, no rAilrnad has yet been built nearer to it than the Columbia and Greenville road, which is four miles east, Donalds being the nearest railroad station. Her people are cultured, refined, energetic, hospitable. An excellent and prosperous class of farmers live in the country adjacent to Due West, iu fact there is not a better class of people In any county iu Snutli Carolina than there is in Abbeville couuty. Due West has, in a measure, all the advantages usually enjoyed by railroad towns. A line of hacks make daily two trips lrom this point to Donalds,giving this place the advantage of two daily malls from Donaldsand two daily malls from Due West to Donalds. Due West has long been famous for its educational Institutions, Erskine College having been founded In 18.19 and the Due West Female College Iu 1SG0. Since the dates ol their establishment, mauy young men and young wnmnri have horaime a riul nntys of these two colleges aud have none out Into the world tilted lor a life ot usefulness, being an honor to themselves and to their couutry and a credit to the luKtllutions from which they graduated. The new Ersklne College building here owned by the Associate Reformed Presbyterinn? Isoneol the finest and most substantial structures of its kind in the South. The professors in this Institution are among the ableBt In the country. Faculty: Rev. William MolTatt Grlpr, D. D., President. Wylle Professorship of Mental and Moral Philosophy.

Tills paper has more reading matter and more original mattter thau it has ever had before. Mr. Galloway is a fine business man, and the success of the paper is largely due to his never Jailing zeal and good judgment. The enrollment, of the Due West Female College during the past session was UC. The outlook ror the coming year Is encouraging.
