1HE LEDGER. Thurlow S. Carter, EDITOR AND MANAGER. SATURDAY, JUNK 24, 1899. Spar tun burg alumni of Wofford College will give $30,000 towards the establishment of the Carlisle chair of Mathematics. I Senator Archer is the loader of | the movement, starting it with a subscription of $1,000. Rev. Richard Carroll writpa n? from Rloomsburg, Pa., that he has secured one subscription of $0,000 for tho colored industrial school he is to establish near Columbia, and that the money is sure. This is cause forcongratu lation. Carroll is not only a man of sound ideas but a hustler, and we believe he is going to do a great work hero for his race.? j The State. ^ u ^ i Suspicious Heath of a Young Man.

Owing to the deterioration of interest throughout the state, the very existence of the organization is now threatened. The only visible work of the organization now existing is the state exchange, and it may he abolished at the Columbia meeting, henee it is of the utmost importance that those of our suballiances which hold stock in tne exchange should lie represented on that occasion. "The Alliance has undoubtedly accomplished much in its day for the betterment of the class by and for whom it was organized; hut we fear its day is done. It has done nothing now for two years, during which time it has been an organization in name only. And it till'!-*' W if? h? > ? __ ...

That there is yet work f.?r the Alliance to do cannot he doubted, and if there is any reasonable prospect for a resuscitation of the movement it should be encouraged by all moans, but, judging the future by the past, the case is seemingly hopeless. We have attended some of the meetings of the Florence county alliance and they were almost as representative as a prohibition gathering in Kentucky | during a political campaign. Rather than perpetuate this un-l fortunate state of a Hairs, it wool I ! in our opinion, be advisable to j restore the exchange stock to its ! original owners and, an an alliance ; friend expressed it, 'irive the en- j tire organization a decent burial.' j "In closing, we wish to request | allianceiucn to turn out in full force at the Elim meeting in or- > der to decide upon some definite aiul decisive course of action.? | Florence Reform Advocate.

McQucstion Returned from Manila Expresses Himself. San Francisco, .June 21.?Dr. Charles A. McQuesten, who was on the statf of Gen. E. S. O^is, and who was health otlicer at Ma*? nila, has returned home invalided by the climate. Capt. McQuesten nude a close study of the conditions of the Philippine situation. He is of the 1 opinion that it will take from 100, 000 to 150,000 soldiers to properly subdue and hold the islands. | He also says that the peace com [mission was an absolute failure and that its work from the start I was without effect. He strongly | supports the military government 1 of the islands, except that he ! thinks more men will he necessary ! than has been estimated. Dr. Sohurnian knows that the commission is a failure and is coming homo in duly, added Capt. McQuostcn. "Unless troops, thousands of ! them, are sent to the aid of our ' men there they will he driven buck into Manila in the course of the next few months, during the rainy season. Our men simply cannot stand tho? climate. Fifty per cent, of them will ho incapacitated by sickness and the territory overrun will have to be abandoned and Manila will he in a state of siege again. "Our officers and soldiers have accomplished wonders and have proved themselves the best soldiers in the world. But nothing: decisive has come of because our men were not in great enough ! force.

Fahrenheit ranging from DO to 98 in the shade, and the animal heat running up to 140 and 150 degrees, at times, especially when the now board of school trustees meets to consider and act upon the apolica | cation of the numberless cundii dates for a principal for the graded school. About a fortnight since J the new board (composed entirely |of new members with the oxcepI tion of one) met, and elected a ! new principal, and a majority of the patrons of the school not bei in<; satisfied with their selection, apprised them of the fact, and after due deliberation the board respectfully requested the man whom they had elected to resign, I which ho did at once bv telegram, so I have been informed. The dissatisfied patrons, cireu lated a petition with 00 per cent of the names of the citizens, ask. 1 ing the hoard to retain the old ' principal, and they would not do it. What do you think of such servants as these? Does it not look like they are the masters, instead of ttie servants of the pcoj pie? I think they have met once or twice since, and have had one or two caucuses, but have failed to elect a principal as yet. The general opinion is, Kershaw will not have a graded school this term, unless the present board resigns, which 1 think they will do, and, then call a mass meeting of the citizens or the patrons of the school and have a fair election of another board who will select a principal and a corps of teachers which will please the majority of people. And again, to show you that the times are hot, and still heating, on the 21 inst., one Mr Lawson, a citizen of North Carolina, was arrested and incarcerated in the block house of Kershaw, without a warrant, only to remuin a few minutes until he could give bond for his appearance next morning. Ho employed council and promptly appeared before his honor, next morning, and after investigating the charges preferred againot the agent, the mayor failing to find sulhcient proof to convict him, he was discharged. The agent was as mad as un old wet hep and I guess the mayor was pretty badlv worried because he could not convict his prisoner. C.
