It has beeu our privelege to oe a: member of Iiteriry and his torical pieties, and we cannot t<H) uigbiy comafend the work don^ by them. In thd first place, tb^y'lfrathe ordinary man or wooffen ail opportunity to brush up 4g*tnst brighter and more cultivated minds, thereby giving ' thetifcufc ihsight Into the field of literature or matters of historic Interest that they could not possibly hav? obtained else vhere. In the second, having ?secured an insight into the y?ri ' ou a Sources of knowledge gained " thrbutgh the medium of these societies, ambition is fired. The * party, or member feels that he of she must know more. No matter ho# highly educated a person is, they, through the out4ct weekly with other edu cated persons realize the fact -,hat there are many things uu rlremt of in their philosophy that they did not know, and they will endeavor to* educate tfteiu *>elves in the lines of education %vith which they are not conver sant. In the third place, the mind becomes broadened through con tact withthodeof kindred souls. Ideas, which may perhaps have been erratic, can be cor rected by contrast with the ideas of others. Great thoughts which would have never ernmat ? <1 from the brain of its origina tor, would ha^e never sOeu the light but for the literar^ and historical societies* Matters of ' interest tttatltod long remained dormant in the breast of the party enjoying th6 }k>ssessiou of the knowledge of their jwsses ijdt #ould hive beeu lost to tho world. We could elaborate on tliia subject almost indefinitely, but jfre will conclude by urging the 'tesuOQitation of tlie Chautauqua Circle which furnished rt source ' 6f unalloyed pleasure und in* ^tellectUal profit to the members 'of it during the life of the circle f here. In fact, we urge tbo in*' *stitutkn of two or more Circle* tiere. Our Northern guests will *6oon be leaving us, and we must have some entertainment during ' the Summer. 1 We urge this matter upou our people. If requested we will ^take a prominent p&uttf the in ^titutfuU 6t t>ue or more circles. Money is not an dbjoct id this. Knowledge is power, uot money, "und more solid knowledge can ; be obtained at a single meetiug yof a Ohautauqun Circle thun can * be gained in a si* months course **ut school or college. Let us ' lake this mattct* up. Wo have *ftot at preseut the information Necessary as to how the organi sation can be ?4fi*ctedf but we "can easily obtain it. Pi .. . . We note*in?n election in a neigh* t>oring city for the establish* "tttent of a Dispensary, or no Dis pensary, that dii old citizen who *w as opposed to itb inauguration advanced this argument ilgniitst ^t : If yau buy liqtior under the ^provisions of the dispensary 5a w, you buy it legally ; if you drink if after buying it, you "drink it legally. If you get 'drunk after buying It, ydu Jret drunk legally. If you commit "Aonta crime or misdemeanor ' while the jag is on, you commit it legally. If you happen to fall ^down in any public place to nap It off, you do it legally and con sequently are not liable to arrost 'fold subsequent punishment. *Now, "What do you think of that.'* For our part, we think It a fail* proposition, and tliut this old gentleman's position is Eminently correct. At any rate, *his argument miist have had force as the dispensary system %vas vuWd dowa. \ \ # -??? - i Cu t TbtaM Bpa Ml tMk* tiu um A?% If Ml *t?U% to ??lt UMm Ml?V SmW fti.i #f ull f>l hew hf? ??Ml Vljjor, ton* Flo T*-Bs?.

Ait Unfortunate Killing. ' On April 5tl>, Mr. Willie MiclcU of our county was com pelled iu self defense to kill his conductor, Charles Oliver, dur ing an altercation over A hot box, Micklo haviug been stubbed with a knife. Willie is a brake 1 man ou the Southern, and the S train on which he was was near Orangeburg to which city ho immediately went and surrender ed himself to the sheriff. The circumstance is to be deplorod, but the fact that tho young mau has been released under a very light bond, together with tho ?testimony of witnesses to tho difficulty proves conclusively that he acted clearly in tho right. This incidsnt will be classed by Certain newspapers among the murders committed iu Boutq Car olina during the yoar, but if so it will bo a base slander not olny 011 the State, but on the perpe trator of tho act. Tho law of ?Olf defense is higher than hu? man law, and according to the evidence so far produced, if Wil* lie Micklo had not defended him self, ho would have been in dan ger of losing his own life. | The hsor loo Ham SAW .

"Xrf aatfiftaftce to colleges" said Mr. Girnegi A, when pressed tot a more detailed statement Of his position, "I Mb endeavor ln| to a?p1y the same business principles which have enabled me to put myself m position to what I am dolAg. I have no in tention of Encouraging small colleges, nor large ones for that matter, to expend beyond their visible resources. It would do ibem more harm than good in most Instances to plage at their disposal considerable sums of otoney to be employed in any way which might gratify the immediate views of their trus tees and faculty. I m*lst be assured in the first instance that there exists a pressing' need which cannot be mei by the resources at the com mand of the trustees. I must then be assured that the Enter prise is one which has a reason for being, which is managed wisely and conservatively, and which has a reasonable chance of becoming self-sustaining. The method of procedure Is as follows : The president or a represen tative of a college makes appli cation to me for financial aid. Such applicants receive a blank form of application. 1 require the facts to assure me that a gift would be wisely bestowed and well employed. The questions asked in each blank are as follows : The name of the college, its location, date I i of foundation, if denomiuational the sect that supports and con trols it, and if not, the nature of its support ; the cost and value of college grounds, buildings, and educational plant ; the amount of general endowment, annual running expenses, and from what source this amount is derived, what library facilities the college has, what provisions exists for maintaining them, how much money has been spent for that purpose annually during the past four years, and, in case the college has no' library build ing of its own, ifDthere are any permanent and assured sources of income to secure its mainte nance and what amount can be guaranteed for that purpose by the college trustees in case a library building should be pro vided. 1 in addition to tliese questions there are others calling for par ticulars in regard to the town library or other library in the vicinity of the college, for the number of students attending on Dec. 1st during each of the last five years, whether the college has a preparatory department, how many students arc doing regular oollege work as distin guished from those who are tak ing preparatory or special courses, and one calling for in formation in regard to the gen eral scope of the institution. "X am as ready to assist in the establishment of libraiias now as ever, but the demand for them is much less active than formerly. Most ot the cities and large towns are already sup plied, and the applications now roc&ived dire mostly from small communities, whose require ments are not very large. The applications now average ouly about one a day, and this costs me ortly abbtit $20,000 a day. I do riot consider that enough to spend In the work 1 have plan ned ; hence my interest in col leges," < Asked if sectarian foundations were elegible to his gifts, he replied : "No, not as sectarian foundations. As a matter of fact, however, ftiost of the colleges which started as sectarian foun dations have broadened their basts voluutarily, and while still sectarian in name, perhaps, ad mit studonts of all creeds and Htfposc ho hard-and-fast condi tion^.
