J
AVc have no ?lt ul?t thai the people of 1
this-County, nt least, are weary of the <
itisci)ssiou of this subject: And we do '
not intend to reopen it?only to state
our position. J
' The'opponents lo the University proceed
upon the presumption that those
who support the University are opposed <
1o the,public schools. This is not our I
position certainly. We have spent time y
\ nnd labor in behalf of the public schools I
?'i ",u?s c ounty, ami would deprecate \
*"' and oppose any act looking to tin* aholi- i
tion of these schools. We have advo- t
cated, anil ilo advocate, changes in and I
improvements on tho present system, i
On the other hand some of the friends t
of the University make the mistake of 1
nssorting'tliat all opposition to that in- t
Kliiution is hased upon friendship for i
denominational colleges. This is not I
true. There are those who have no par- ]
.Tticular interest in such colleges who <
oppose the I'niversity; so tliat hoth 1
sides luivb Tinade errors in their.diseus- i
sion of this (piestion. The opponents <
of the State College are inconsitent '
when, they oppose tho college because
. , tuition therein is free to all, and yet as- '
Sort t'llll its fiiendc nwi nniincntl In I I
vrr""'" "vv
Kchoolft ! Those who would keep open
the University to the youth of the State
^ .nrq but offering them a higher step in
the line of free education, and there |
should be no opposition to such a course
by those who proclaim themselves the
rhampious of free education in the pub- (
lie schools. At the same time, tho |
friends of the college are-wrong to lay (
all opposition to it at the door of denoni
inntional colleges. Lot there be an end
.to all bickerings on this subject. The ]
- University wn.i. btanh, to do its high (
and glorious work in tho cntiso of higher .
education for the youth of the State, and
' > the denominational colleges will go on
in their several snlieies doinjr ?rooil nml
'O O 1
Hoblu work in the saute behalf. There ,
*- <* .
r Js no necessity fur antagonism between
jlliein. and he Is no true friend to either
- - . who seeks to sow discord and envy
between them. '
lly the way, w,c are glad to sec that
our friend of the Medium states that he
- lias no desire to pull down the Univer
sity?but only insists that it shall be
run in accordance with law. He has
been ranked as one of its chief oppo- 1
nents, hut status plainly in his la.st is- 1
sueliis position on this subject.
?V ,1'IW.VCHEU POLITICIANS.

how one man can ronscientitflisly at- i
.tempt to 1111 the twapositions of preach- 1
or and politician. We do not mean by
v i this to deny to ministers tin? right to
v .? form their opinions of men and parties,
"r" but wo do think their sacred calling (
J should keep Them from taking nn active
part on the hustings, and necessarily injuring
their usefulness in the Master's h
Z ll; '. * cause. Our idea of a minister of the
> . gospel is so hij^h that it necessarily ex
^ eludes any, work not closely connected
' " with the saving of souls, and the leadi'T:
% lug of men to the Lamb that was slain.
_'r (loldsniith's portrayal of the village
preacher, in which he says
vHc allured to blighter worlds and led the I ]
?'? '* " ' ? ?? ?
is our what a proncher ought to
he, and who will say the political stump '
X^/y. ?n<* caucus affords an opportunity for
' -such nllurement ? C?n the contrary,
*> the minister who turns politician isrdo- i
' . -ing both himself unci his constituents a |
positive injury. He is injuring himself i
* j iu weakening his influence both as u i
man'and as Ajninistcr, anil of course to i
; " this extent injuring his constituents. i
In the next place, there is no noUessi- |
ty for it. Statesmen are not so scarce as I i
to necessitate to any extent the ileple- j
tion of the ranks of the ministry, and
? ? ^ there nro plenty of honorable and wor;
. ' thy men outside of this high calling who ,
, V^ i * * J
. csm and will bear the burdens of Stale.
* Notwithstanding these facts, we notice
t" ' quite a disposition on the payt of the (
- -ministers of other counties to aspiro to
. politicirl honors, but bo.it said to the
' . honor and the Christianity of the minis- ,
-'f.1- ters of Abbeville County that they have

t liriLlHXG ANI) liOAX ASSOCIATION.
There has l>cen this year, and still
continues in our midst, an nnpreceden;ed
demand for money. The "wherewithal
' has been exceedingly scarce,
persons desirous of building ami iin
iroviiig our town, ami able to give the
rery best gilt-edge security, have failed
;o make arrangements lor money on any
erins. The object of building and loan
issociations is to remedy this trouble?
.o provide money to those anxious to
lave homes, and on easy terms. Men
if limited means, and particularly young
non, are thus eucoiiragcd to husband
;heir resources and, without being
iressed unmercifully, pay oil* their indebtedness
in time. Wherever the enterprise
has been organized it has proved
i success. Anderson, Columbia, Charleston
and various other places in the State
liave them working admirably. We will
follow this up next week with a more
minute notice of the work and details of
the association.
INFAMOUS.
Wo refuse to believe the rumor mentioned
in the papers on Monday to the
direct that the Louisiana Lottery Company
hnil offered to Rive Maine the electoral
vote of that Stale on condition that
lie, if elected, is to throw open the United
States mails to the lottery company.
Thin is the institution of which Heauregard
nml Knrly are the heads. We will
have reached the very depth of political
infamy if this report be true, and the
maledictions heaped upon the head of
Longstreet when he joined the Republican
party would be as infantile prattle
to the curses that would fall upon the
devoted heads of the gentlemen above
named.
It cannot bo true '.
THE 8KVlSNTIi lHSTItlCT.
The Democrats have nominated that
gallant knightly gentleman, Col. Win.
Klliott, foi Congress against Hob Smalls.
Surolv. even in the Illm-k District t
is left among the negroes sufficient respect
for decency and the eternal fitness
of things to make them prefer Colonel
Elliott to Smalls. Hut whether he he
elected or not. Colonel Elliott will poll
nil the Democratic votes in his District
ind thereby aid the election of. the National
ticket. We wish he could be
L'lected. We know no man who would
serve his constituents with more ability
nor one who, would better grace the
hulls of Congress*.
THIS lMt'l'KItS.
- There is no part of the internal economy
of our government that needs greater.
attention than the care of the poor.
Those poor suppliants at the door of
luunan charity?the accidents of life?
should command the serious and earnest
care of a municipal government. These
people are fed, clothed, warmed, housed,
[diysiccd and buried for the pittance of
live dollars and seventy-five cents per
month. Are we doing that class of our
citizens justice?not to reflect upon the
liumanc and careful steward;?when we
illow such contracts to be made ?

TilK.new Parliament House in Quebec,

IJki'oki: another issue of our paper tho
result of the election in Ohio will l>o J
I known. Wo have not anticipated Dom- j
I ncratic success there. If we can reduce j
! to H.OtXJ the majority of IM,<XK> hv which
thirdi{ld carried the State in 1880, it will
demonstrate Maine's weakness and
point to his defeat in November. I Jew
York and Indiana are the real holds of
battle. The former seems assured to
Cleveland and the Democrats claim the.
latter with grent confidence.
On Octobor 9 New York city had a gigantic
Cleveland demonstration in
which thirty-five thousand people
joined. Hankers brokers, merchants.
Stock, Produce and Cold Exchange
members were most prominent. This
fact is significant of the leaning of the
business men of the city, and they exorcise
a mighty control in National elections.
Wo believe Now York is safe,
and if Ohio wont Democratic yesterday
Maine's doom is sealed, and Cleveland
is the next President of these United
States?"A consummation devoutly to
be wished.''
AvKfMlic Pills l?v tl?i? l?int
.1. A. Smith of Gainesville, (ia., merchant,-snys:
"For years I was a victim
to the combined effects of Erysipelas
ami an aggravated type of Eczema, that
battled all medical skill. 1 consulted
the very best physicians in the United
States to 110 good purpose. I gave every
patent medicine that was recommended
a faithful trial and received no
benefit.. I took large quantities of potash
and a pint cup full of arsenic pills.
The patent medicine, pills and potash
mixtures fed instead of curing the disease.
They destroyed 1113' appetite and
wrecked my system?I lost liesh and
energy?1 last three years from my business
and spent .^.(XJO in a fruitless effort
to regain my health. At last, when
1 began to consider my case "hopeless,
I commenced taking S. S. S., and in a
short time 1 was entirely cured. 1
waited a year after a cure.was. effected,
and continued to take Swift's Specific
off and on as a sort of safeguard, before
I 'was willing to make public this marvelous
cure. Being assured beyond the
possibility of a (h.ubt that the cure was
permanent, I wrote this history of my
case for the benefit of my fellow-men.
My skin is now as smooth as it was
when a hoy. I weigh more than 1 ever
did in in}' life, and 1113' general health
was never better. I passed through
last winter, (which was an unusually
col.l one,) without losing a single day
from my business. l?or the last twelve
months I have had no return of. the erysipelas
in any shape or form, or an}touch
of eczema.""

ADVICE TO MOTHKits.

of your rest by a sick child suffering
and crying with pain of cutting
teeth ? If so, send at once and get a

the stomach ami bowels, cures
wind colic, softens the gums, reduces inflammation,
and gives tone and energy to
the whole system. Mrs. Winsi.ow's
