? 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.

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.

"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^. I do not object to a
school conducted under the pat
ronage of a denomination if it
prospers by reason of such pat
ronage. In the case of a school
so Strictly guarded that it made
the acceptance of its tenets a
condition of matriculation, I am
free to say that it would not in
