The Senate has by a vote of 19 to 10
passed the bill repealing the Prohibition
Act for Oconee County. There is, how?
ever, very little doubt that the House
will defeat the bill, and leave our prohi?
bition friends in Oconee on top again.
The correspondents of the New? and
Cbiirier never let an opportunity pass
without making some uncalled-for fling at
the temperance people. This may amuse
tbe reporters, bnt we are glad to see that
it does not hurt the advocates of tempe?

Governor Hampton was unanimously
re-elected to the United States Senate;
:'?> by the* Democrats in the Legislature.
This is a compliment which Soc th Caro?
lina is always ready to confer as long as
che is represented in the Senate by such
men as Hampton and Butler.
Some of oar exchanges were congrat?
ulating the people on the fact that .the
- present Legislature bad no talking mem?
bers in it. They were a little premature,
as the precent House has developed quite
a number of able and ready debaters,
who do not hesitate to express themselve8
when they see proper. The State is to be
congratulated on this fact/for discussion
is necessary to the proper determination
of a great many important questions.
When we asserted last Sommer that
the South Carolina University had come
to stay, some of our friends were dis
' posed to be offended with the statement.
? The vote, in the House last Monday in
;which the friends of the University
polled 76 votes while the opponents only
got 29, ought to convince all tbat farther
opposition to the University can only
make an opportunity for the airing of a
little surplus rhetoric. It cannot ac?
complish any other object. The Univer?
sity i* here to stay.
The Senate by a vote of 17 to 15, de?
feated the bill to repeal' tbe Lien Law..
Senator Moore voted against the motion
to strike out the enacting clause of the,
bill. While we did not concur in the
particular features of this bill with some
i amendment?, we think it ought to have
been passed.. We do not favor the repeal
of tbe landlords, lien for rent, and think
i it would be better to pass the bill to take
effect twelve months after date, but we
axe satisfied that the country would be
more prosperous if the lien for supplies
were abolished.
Some time ago the Intelligences
predicted tbat it would . be a waste of
valuable time to attack the South Caro?
lina University and tbe Citadel. ? The
greater part of the day Of Monday waa
spent in fighting the appropriation in
the House, but jYpassed by a vote of 76
in favor to 29 opposed. This was proba?
bly a waste of over five hundred dollars
to accomplish no good, and ye' this same
foolishness is to be gone over within the
Senate. The obstructionists will learn
from experience, if in no other way, that
Sooth Carolina does not intend to go
backwards in the cause of .education,
while every other State in the Union is
moving forward.
Tbe House has passed a bill to amend
the charter of the city of Anderson,
which was introduced by Col. Eueker.
It was introduced for the purpose of
permitting the collection of a sufficient
tax to meet the interest and installments
to become due on the subscription to tbe
Savannah Valley Railroad, but instead
of amending the Act authorizing tbe
collection of taxes to meet these bonds,
they have simply removed all limit upon
the taxing, power of the City Council.
. The present charter limits the tax to
thirty cents on the hundred dollars for
city purposes, and in our judgment this
limitation should be restored. We be?
lieve nine out of ten of our business men j
concur in this opinion. The amended
bill was introduced and passed the House
without tbe City Council ever being con?
sulted or even seeing its provisions, and
without any petition, as far as we can
learn, from the citizens of Anderson.
The point was doubtless not called to
the attention of tbe author or the Rep?
resentatives, or it would have been cor?
rected. We trust this provision will be
restored by the Senate. By this means a
proper limitation will be put on the city
government, without in any way damag?
ing the railroad interests. In fact the
credit of the city will be better with this
limitation than without it. .
The Legislature has had a very inter?
esting contest over tbe bill to repeal tbe
law exempting manufactories from taxa?
tion. In the Senate tbe bill was defeated
by a vote of 18 to 17, while in the House
it was passed by a vote of about two to I
one. We have not seen tbe vote of the !
members from this County in detail,
except tbat Maj. Moore voted for the
repeal in the Senate, and Mr. Scudday
spoke in favor of the repeal in the House.
We are gl ad their views did not prevail,
for experience has shown tbat the law
tends to develop manufacturing in our
midst, and manufacturing brings pros?
perity. The exemption only extends for
ten years. In tbe meantime, the State
gets the taxes upon the increased valua?
tion of all classes of property around the
factories, and at the end of ten years
gets the taxes upon tbe factories them?
selves for all time to come. It tends to
increase the wealth of tbe State by
bringing not only money here, but popu?
lation also; and it affords profitable em?
ployment to women and children, who
are in considerable degree a non-produc?
ing population. It builds up towns, and
creates a demand for all kinds of agri?
cultural products, which greatly benefits
the farmers around the factories ; and by
bringing the mills within reach of the
cotton-fields, affords a home market for
cotton, which tends to keep up the price.
It is the best law the Republicans ever
passed, and we are glad to see our State
Senate conservative enough to retain it.

THE RAILROAD LAW. .
The News and Courier eodorees tho
views we expressed lost week about the
Railroad Law, and concludes its article
with tbe following strong and forcible
presentation of the needs of our State:
What is wanted in this and in every
other State, as the Savannah News forci?
bly says, is capital. Immigrants are
also wanted. The South has an abund?
ance of the elements of-wealth excepting
workers and money. It is a short-sighted
policy, therefore, to tax foreign capital
so as to drive it away, or keep it from us;
and it prevents or cramps progress and
development to make foreign capital
bear unnecessary burdens. Tbe true
policy is to encourage the investment of
capital and the promotion of public en?
terprises by the enactment of liberal
laws. South Carolina, as a rule, has
been liberal enongb, but there is no lib?
erality, or justice, in subjecting railroad
companies to regulations which would
not be tolerated, or expected to be borne,
by capitalists engaged in any other class
of business.
Tbe Legislature, we are aware, has
but little time before it, if tbe determi?
nation is to adjourn on the day before
Christmas. This, however, should not
be permitted to stand in the way of such
amendments to the Railroad law as are
demanded by tbe highest interests of the
people of the State. South Carolina
should pay the salaries and expenses of
tbe Railroad Commission, and substitute
tbe Massachusetts law for the entangle?
ments, obstructions aud ambiguities of
the present system.
It is tbe duty of tbe Legislature to
determine amendments to the Railroad
Law upon their merits, and not lay them
aside simply to avoid extending tbe sess?
ion for a few days. It should be thor?
oughly discussed and fully examined
before action, and if necessary a recess
until after Christmas should be taken.
Too many interests of the State are in?
volved to be thus summarily disposed of.

THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
Removal of Professor Woodrow on Hla
Refusal to Resign?Resignation of Pro?
fessors Bosga and Hemphill?The Re
salt of Teaching Evolution "As Probably
True."
$13?; - _
The Board of Directors of the Theo?
logical Seminary ..met on Wednesday
morning! twelve of the thirteen members
being present, of whom five were new
members.
The President stated that tbe purpose
of tbejmeeting was to settle tbe position
of the Seminary in reference to evolu?
tion.
The first blow delivered in tbe contest
came from the disciples of Dr. Woodrow.
who opposed the sealing of Rev. Dr.
Adams, who had been elected by the
Synod of Georgia in place of Dr. Clisby,
the latter having been displaced by the
Georgia Synod, beef .use he refused to
obey .the instructions of the Synod to
stop the teaching of evolution in the
Seminary. Dr. Adams, however, was
seated by an overwhelming vote.
Agaiust.this action a protest was entered
by- three of the Board.
" The next blow came from the disciples
of orthodoxy, who introduced the fol?
lowing paper:
Whereas the Synods of Georgia, Ala?
bama and South Georgia and Florida
have disapproved of the views of Prof.
Dr. James Woodrow on tbe subject of
evolution, as contained in the address
submitted by him to the Board of Di?
rectors in response to their request for
him to give fully his views as taught in
this institution, and have also instructed
the Directors to take steps to prevent tbe
teaching of such views in their Semina?
ry ; ana whereas the Synod of South
Carolina haB disapproved of the teach?
ing of evolution except in a purely ex?
pository manner, without intention of
inculcating its truth; and whereas Prof.
Woodrow nas publicly announced that
if he continues to be their professor, he
will hereafter teach as probably true tbe
hypothesis of evolution ; and whereas he
is thus disqualified from remaining as a
professor in theirJSeminary, and thereby
rendered incompetent to discharge du?
ties in wbich'he speaks in the name and
by the authority of these Synods; there?
fore, be it
Itesolved, That this Board, in obedi?
ence to the above instructions, appoint a
committee, consisting of Messrs. Stacy,
Webb and Sibley, to wait on.Dr. Wood
row and ask for his resignation.
This paper was adopted by tbe follow?
ing vote:
Ayes?Messrs. J. B. Maok, James
Stacy, G. W. Scott, D. E. Frierson, F.
B. Webb, H. L. McKee, W. C. Sibley
and William Adams.
Noea?Messrs. T. H. Law, James
Hemphill, T. B. Froaer and W. J.
McKay.
The Board took a recess to await the
reply of Dr. Woodrow.
in the afternoon the following commu?
nication was received from Dr. Wood
row :
f'7b the Board of Directors, etc.
Gentlemen: I have received by tbe
bands of your committee the preamble
and resolution adopted by you, in which
you ask for my resignation as Professor
in the Theological Seminary.
"I have no desire to continue to teach
in the name and by tbe authority of the
Synods which control the Seminary, since
they have expressed disapprobation of
my views, but yet I am constrained
respectfully to decline to offer my resig?
nation, for tbe reason tlu.t I would there?
by acquiesce in and so to some extent
recognize tbe justice and rightfulness of
the action of tbe Synods on which you
base your request, and -vInch I regard as
illegal in form and incorrect in fact.
"The resolutions adopted by three of
the Synods to which you refer condemn,
with greater or less clearness, my teach?
ings as unscriptural and contrary to our
standards; and this condemnation has
been expressed without judicial investi?
gation, by which alone such matters can
be authoritatively determined.
"I bold, on the other band, that my
teachings, so far as tbey are expositions
of the Sacred Scriptures, accord perfect?
ly in every particular with the teachings
of tbe 'Confession of Faith and Cate?
chisms/ and, so far as tbey relate to
natural science, do not on any point
contradict the Sacred Scriptures as inter?
preted iu our Standards.
"In view of these facts, J respectfully
ask that you proceed to determine the
questions as to my alleged incompetence
and unfaithfulness in teaching what is
contrary to tbe Sacred Scriptures, as in?
terpreted in our Standards, by a full trial,
as is provided in tbe Constitution of the
Seminary, Section 2, Article II.
Yours, very respect lull,
"James Woodrow,
"Perkins Professor of Natural Science in
Connection with Revelation."
A resolution was then introduced look
j ing to the removal of Dr. Woodrow, in
order to prevent his teachings and thus
obey tbe instructions of tbe Synods
which control the Seminary.
Before discussing the resolution, the
following action was taken: That Dr.
Woodrow be invited to appear before tbe
Board, at 7.30 p. m., to show cause why
tbe pending resolution may not be adop?
ted.
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
Adams aod Law, were appointed to
communicate tbe invitation to Dr.
Woodrow,
The Board tben took a recess until
7.30 p. m., at which hour they reassem?
bled, when Messrs. Adams and Law
made tbe following report:
"The committee appointed to wait on
Dr. Woodrow and put into his hands the
resolution requesting him to appear and
shew cause why tbe resolution proposing
to remove him from his professorship
should not be adopted, beg leave1 to re
port that Dr. Woodrow replies that he
does not desire to comply with the invi?
tation of the Directors."
After the reading of tbe above report
the resolution proposing to remove Dr.
Woodrow from nis professorship was
taken up, amended and adopted, as fol?
lows:
"Inasmuch as the Rev. Dr. James
Woodrow, Perkins Professor, has de?
clined to appear before the Board of
Directors to show cause why he should
not be removed from bis professorship ;
and inasmuch as he has already bad a
full hearing in person before three of the
Synods and through bis friends and ad?
vocates before tbe fourth Synod; and
inasmuch as these Synods have already
condemned bis views and teachings on
the subject of evolution ; and inasmuch
as, in bis reply to the committee appoint?
ed to wait upon him, Dr. Woodrow de?
clares bis unwillingness to tender bis
resignation; therefore,
Resolved, 1. That he be, and hereby if,
removed from bis professorship, accord?
ing to tbe authority given this Board.
[See Constitution, Sec. 2, Articles 11 and
13.]
2. That the Secretary be directed to
officially notify Dr. Woodrow of this
action.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Resolved, Tbat in taking this action
t..j Board desires it to be distinctly un?
derstood tbat in its iuterpetration
of the instructions received from the
Synods it does not understand tbat any
undue restrictions shall be placed upon
any professor of our Seminary, or limita?
tion put upon the discussion of any
legitimate doctrine or hypothesis; nor
does this Board itself desire to limit
discussion on any proper subject; provi?
ded, always, that the views inculcated
shall be in accordance with tbe Stand?
ards of our Church.
Immediately after the adoption of tbe
above resolution, Rev. T. H. Law asked
if the Woodrow matter was disposed of,
and learning tbat it was, be drew from
his pocket and read the resignation of
Rev. Dr. W. E. Boggs as Professor of
Church History, who requested tbat it
take effect June 30, 1885. Tbe resigna?
tion, which seemed to bave been pre?
pared in anticipation of the action of
the Board of Directors with reference to
Dr. Woodrow, was promptly accepted
without a dissenting voice.
Next Rev, W. J. McKay took from
his pocket and read the resignation of
Rev. Dr. C. R. Hemphill as Professor
of Biblical Literature, who requested
that it take effect July 1, 1885. This
resignation was also accepted.
Tbe Board then determined to meet in
the latter part of January, 1885, for tbe
purpose of filling tbe vacant professor?
ships.
The whole case, as presented by tbe
majority in the Board, is this: Dr.
Woodrow's views, in his carefully pre?
pared address, were placed by him be
fore the Board last September for their
judgment as to whether he could proper?
ly be permitted to teach them, Tbe
majority of the Board, after a two days'
discussion, approved these teachings.
The minority protested, and this brought
tbe case before tbe four Synods owning
and controlling tbe Seminary. All of
these disapproved of the teaching of.
evolution "as probably true," and three
of these Synods instructed tbe Board to
prevent such views from being taught.
As Dr. Woodrow announced that if a
professor, he must affirm that evolution
is probably true, the Board was com?
pelled to disobey tbe instructions of tbe
controlling Synods or else to remove Dr.
Woodrow from bis professorship, which
latter they did, in accordance with the
provision of tbe Constitution which says
''the Board of Directors shall have pow
1 er to remove from bis office any professor
who shall be found unfaithful in bis
trust or incompetent to tbe discbarge of
bis duties."
A few months have wrought a com?
plete revolutiou in the position of the
Board of Directors toward Dr. Wood?
row. Last September his teachings were
approved by nine members and opposed
by four; now nine members oppose the
teachings and four approve them?all of
the latter being from tbe Synod of South
Carolina, three of whom hold over by
elections previous to this year.
Tbe action of the Board created no
surprise or excitement among the Semi?
nary students, as the result was what
they expected from the action of the
Synods, on which they had been fully
in formed.
The discussions in the Board elicited
no acrimony, and the courteous action of
the able President, Hon. James Hemp
bill, won for him the plaudits of the en?
tire Board.
Tbe Board adjourned at 10 p. m.
Wednesday night.

Mrs. Sarah E. Turner and hor mother,

says:
"I was afflicted for two or three years
with Eczema and Erysipelas combined.
My whole system was broken down, ray
strength and appetite gone, and I became
as helpless as a child, being lifted from
place to place by my friends. I was
treated by the best physicians in the com?
munity with Iodide of Potash and the
other usual remedies for such cases. I
was given up to die by my friends. My
sufferings were beyond description,
and I bad lost all hope of recovery. Last
January I was induced to try Swift's
Specific, having received a pamphlet from
the company detailing its merits. The
first hall dozen bottles bad the effect to
bring back hope to my heart, and tbe
thought of being well again brought joy
and gladness to tbe household. I have
taken altogether 24 bottles. Tbe sores
have all healed up and disappeared; my
strength has returned, and I am able to
do ail kinds of house work. Swift's
Specific, I honestly believe, snatched me
from the grave, and I do not know how
to be grateful ~nough for ?ny recovery.

It is amusing to see how tender-footed
ceitain blood remedy proprietors have
become of late. They make much ado
about "apes and imitators," when none
are in sight.
The proprietors of B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should we
attempt to imitate, it would not be those
who do not understand the modus oper?
andi of that which they offer. Our own
long experience in the profession pre?
cludes such an idea- The field for blood
remedies is large and broad affording
ample room for all present aspirants. We
do not desire to close the door against
others, neither shall it be closed against
us. B. B. B. is tbe quickest remedy,
does not contain mineral or vegetable
poison, does not imitate, and is in the field
as an honorable competitor for public
