WALHALLA, S. C. I IHVlUtnAV, .IHNIt ??i, 181M?. TWO PROMINENT EDUCATORS. Wo had tho ploasuro last weok of spond ing a fow days at Greenville in attend ance upon tho mooting of tho board of trustees of Purman University. ;Vlnlo there wo wero gratified to meet Dr. Lodgo, tho nowly-olcctcd president of tho Limestone Fomalo College. We mot at tho homo of that charming Christian gentleman, Dr. Montague, president of i'm man University. Wo wero informed that Dr. Dodge wns a former pupil of Dr. Montaguo and wo aro constrained to givo orcdonco to tho statement fi om tho fact of Ids closo resemblance in demeanor and manners to that eminent gentleman. Aftor an inti mato acquaintance with Dr. Montaguo, and having mot Dr. Dodge, wc aro impressed with thc thought that tho baptists of tho Slate have mado no mistako in calling tbeso gentlemen to prosido over their institutions of learn ing and entrusting to them tho educa tion of their boys and girls. Drs. Montague and Dodge havo no Buporiors, and few equals, in tho South. Thoir high character, ability and learn ing, polished address, and charming man ners always attract, ami never repel, oven thoir pupils. Dach of those worthy edu cators, wc feel sure, is exactly tho right man in tho right placo. They aro sure to exorcise an ?niluonco over thc Baptists of tue State for untold good. Dr. Mon taguo has already drawn around bim and worthily so-tho leading mon in his church. We regret that ho is not ablo to moot every Baptist in tho State. As a Christian educator he is fast impressing himself on tho university over which bo presides. We anticipate with pleasure tho timo when our son shall sit at his feet and drink inspiration from that foun tain of learning.

Ci.AUKKsvii.i.i-:, GKOUOIA, Juno 20.-Si Smith, tho slayer of J. C. Bell, who has been hunted night and day for two months, was captured yesterday after noon at the homo of his father in Kahlin county, and was lodged in the, Clarkcs villo jail last night, where ho is safely guarded. The capture of Smith has caused great oxcitenient in Rnbun and Iluhcrshani counties and there is intense feeling in this section, but there is no likelihood of any serious trouble. Smith was found hiding between tho coiling and weatherboarding of his fath er's house, having entered thc place of hiding through a false door. Thc place was an ideal one for hilling and it was a fine piece of work oil thc part of his cap tor? to locate him. Smith was localed and captured by Tom Bell, Toni Bryson and Henry Low ery. Tho first is a son of thc murdered man and be is a leading citizen and olli cial of Gainesville. Tho older Smith resides twelve miles from hero at Burton, Kabun county. lt will bo remembered that .Smith killed Bell one Sunday morning about two months ago, near Santee, at which placo the alleged mindere, kept a store. Boll was traveling for an Atlanta drug houso at tho time and ho had stayed all night at Smith's bouse Saturday night. Sunday morning Smith and Bell went buggy riding, and, for some cause and manner novor yot clearly learned, tho murder was committed. Bell's dead body was found on Ibo roadside, bis head and face beaten into a jolly-liko mass and bis body terribly bruised ami bleeding. The man had boon literally beaton to death with rooks and sticks and left on thc roadside in a pool of bis own blood. Smith escaped and until his capturo yesterday no trace of him could bo fourni, although it was believed all the timo that tho alleged murderer was in biding near the scene of his crimo. A reward of $1,000 for tho capture of Smith was offered 'mon after tho murder and his captors will receive (hat amount for their tronido. Five hundred dollars was offered by tho State and $300 by Mr. Toni Boll, of Gainesville, who will him solf receive a part of tho reward as ho was ono of the captors. His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizens of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In tolling of it ho says: "I was taken with typhoid fever, that ran into pneumo nia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn'i, even sil up in bcd. Nothing helped mo. ! cxpeetod soon I?, dio with consumption, whoa I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. Ono bottlo gave groat relief. I continued to use it, and now nm well and strong. I can't say too much in it?- praise." The marvel lous medicino is tho surest and quickest euro in tho world for all throat and lung trouble. Regular size 50 cents and ?LOO, Trial bottles free at all drug stores In tho county.

Mr, Cope land has been a cotton buyer at Lunrens for 20 yearn, and ...st season purchased cotton for the Spartan mills and Kooroo Manufacturing Company, Ho allogos that, (luring (hoseason, Mr. Lueun mado statements to Mr. Collin, Prosidontof tho Knoroo Company, and W. 8. Montgomery, President of tho Spartan mills, that ho was cheating them in many ways. Sovoral legal linns represent tho plain tiff, lt is tho Hist suit for slander brought in this Sfato In many years, Tho Prather's Bridge Question. jL??toie Courier: I have Just road Mr. Ilaloy's oard, ashing for ?xprosBiona on tho bridgo question. Mr. Haloy ia right in lils opposition to tho building of Pro thor's bridgo at tho oxpenso of anybody not dirootly interested in lt. Ho is wrong as to othor bridges being built below thoro in caso that ono is built by taxa tion. It would bo "JuBt as wrong" to build ono at Jenkins' forry or Stribllng's forry as at Prathor's. Two wrongs don't make a right. Thoro is too much dispo sition shown in thoso roforra times to do . - -rt" "J <?i?v>u- WM . ?.* ~v...vtujj ol so's oxponso. bet tho folk in tor os tod in I 'ralle r's bridgo, or thoso intorostod in a bridgo at tho old Stribling forry, build it themselves. They might ohargO others toil. Toll bridges or ferries aro proforablo anyway. It is only tho par ties who actually uso thom that pay. If they don't wish to pay toll, lot thom stay on thiB Bldo and "trade" at Wostmtnstor, Walhalla or Souooa. Whon bridges aro built by taxation many pooplo aro taxed for tho bonofit of a fow-pooplo who will never SOO or UBO tho bridgo. I approvo of Mr. Haley's oall for an expression of opinion, and hopo ho will ascertain tho sentiment of tho county. ltospootfully, J. M. MCCLANAHAN, M. D. Juno 10, 1800. Mr. P. Kotcham of Pike City, Cab, says: "During my brother's lato sick ness from sciatic rheumatism, Cham berlain's Pain Hahn was tho only remedy that gavo him any roliof." Many others have testified to tho prompt roliof from pain which this liniment affords. For salo by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lun noy, Sonoca; ll. B. Zimmerman, Wost minstor. Who is to Build7hV"prather Bridgo ? PULASKI, S. C., Juno 20, 1800. Messrs. Editors: I desiro spacoin your valunblo columns to reply to an artiolo I seo in your paper, signed by J. J. Ilaloy, in regard to tho rebuilding of tho Prathor bridge, over tho Tugaloo river, and his opposition, ns ho dooms it, boforo tho tax-payoiB of Oconoo county. Now lot us seo how muoh SOUBO thoro is in Mr. Ilaloy's article. First, ho tolls ns as tax-payers of Oconoo if wo aro willing to pay tax to rebuild tho Prathor bridgo ho will endoavor to mako us pay tax to build two othor bridges on tho lowor Tugaloo. How will that do for a threat as a county ofllcial on tho tax payers of tho county ? Further, Mr. Haley claims throobridges above tho Air Dino Bailroad. Remem ber, tax-payers, tu it ono of thoso bridgOB is in sight of tho Air Lino Railroad; tho other two aro on Chattuga river, and aro carrying trade and juonoy from Ba luru county, Ga., and North Carolina into our county and our county towns ovory day. Notwithstanding all this, Mr. Haley wants to give us pooplo of tho Tugaloo Valley a good road to our county towns; but if wo and our Georgia friends want a bridgo, lot us have it at our own cxpouso. lt seems that Mr. Haloy objects to us trading in Georgia or at Toceoa. I would like to know if Mr. Haloy always bought all of his goods in Oconoo county? Wo can go to Toccoa and back in ono day, while it would take us from two to throo days to go to ono of our county markets. So any fair-minded man can seo that there is no foundation in his article. Now, I claim that wo, as citizons of Oconoo county, aro all tax-payors, and should bo tho samo pcoplo, and our county oflicials should act for tho whole people and not for any ono faction. Wo, as citizens of tho Tugaloo valley, havo asked for tho Prathor bridgo to bo rebuilt, and wc claim that it is right that it should bo rebuilt. If tho pooplo of tho lower Tugaloo valley want ono or two freo bridges, let thom say so. Thou it would bo right that tho bridgo or bridges bo built for thom; but lot tho pooplo make the request, lt will bo 1 i mo enough Mien for Mr. Haley to arf,. Wo hopo Mr. Ilaloy's heart is right, but his hoad (ii wrong. Respectfully, B. C. ROTIIRT.T., Tax-payors, fake Notice ! OAKWAV, Juno 21.-Remember tnat unless you notify tho County Board of Commissioners hy postal or othorwiso that you aro opposed to hoing taxed to rebuild Prattler's bridgo, on Tugaloo river, by next lirst Monday in July, the board will concludo you favor tho rebuild ing of the samo, and will likoly procood to rebuild it. Respectfully, J. J. ITAT.KY, C. C. O. C. THE YARN IS 26 PdZfTcENT STRONGER. Test of thc Roundtop Cotton Balo in Now England Mills. Mr. Wm. C. Lovering, a leading Now England Cotton manufacturer, says: Tho Roundlap halo of tho Amorican Cotton Company continues to win favor with the manufacturers of Now England, as well as with tho spinners of Europe. Von can readily understand why this should be so. in view of tho saving, and of tho fact tl.it af tm making a vory thorough investigation in ono of my mills last BUtnmor I found that tho avor ago breaking strain of yarn spun from this halo is about 2"? por cont greater than tho sf length of tho yarn spun from tho old halo." -.---~^?*-?-: Tugaloo Mention.
