She may be sub merged by criticism, restraints of society, and inexplicable barriers, but like the cork she is kept down ,oply by force, let pressure be re moved, instantly she rises to demands that place her in the arena to dare itiiU die. The woman of the present day craves work, and not always to win her bread; she spurns only the adornment of a niche and being a nonentity in the world’s progress and its grand and marvelous excel siors. We congratulate Charleston in the prospective Industrial Home to be established by the Woman’s League, of New York, in the shade of piney forests and so near the “gray old ocean, vast, deep and fathomless as are great minds that are pleased in Br doing good.” This grand asso- tion was organized for the pur- of aiding deserving woman de- pnt on her own resources. It ^ent two of its wealthy and l accomplished ladies, Mrs. jailey and Mrs. S. J. Fullerton -a lAr us Florida on a prospecting tour. On their return they stopped at Charleston and saw the city in her “spring-time” glory, her lovely gardens and wearing a vestment of her famed polished and refinement, also the splendid rose and tea farms of Prof. Shepherds. These ladies j^ro captivated, and returned North ^ksuch a glowing picture that in H^^ir future the League will carry olai.s which will he bimilar ^»ton Home; each pretty, V to have several acres j>sc planted in fruits gan’s hands will be ^hqition of attar of -Deed’, Ahern ordeis ^effant (/mp.” For r o«e.s, y. a volatile lifted hy f Porfi SUNDAY BASE BALL. This is the heading given in recit ing the recent contest in Mobile with an Atlanta team. At least three thousand people were present at this Sunday afternoon’s pastime. The game is a good one when not abused, but used simply in manly, sport and pleasant exercise. When, however, it passes this boundary line and falls into the bunds of professionals, pru dence throws down the reins and li cense takes them up. It is time then to be doubly on guard, elsq, vyq .too will fall into the excesses and end in confusion. Sunday Ruse Ball! How ni f e we led along with the passing crowd and almost unconsciously begin, to., take part iu the evil. Three thousand in Mobile to witness a Sunday game. Twenty years ago the country was shocked at military parades iu New Orleans on Sunday, and at open theatres, but the disease has spiYad until many other centres pf popbln* tion and of influence have beco!Q£.in»‘ fected and are spreading the eviL It becomes us then to be tflHhc more careful lest we too allo\V ourselves trt" be drawn aside and become Subbgth breakers and gamblers througR. this liberty of ours. Keep t he - stream, pure and life will be the result,‘^ol lute it, death will ensue.

OUR OLD SOLDIERS. . The $100,(KH) appropriated- by the, legislature for the relief of the needy veterans will not go far in that ^di rection. Wo have entered the fourth - decade since the close of the late war, and many who were then Frttber ff •y * jU. Of Course South Carolina would feel highly flattered to be given the presidential nominee.

These ought to be cured for.- It is far preferable to care now for their- craving necessities thap to erect monuments to their memory after they have passed away. The circular issued by Comptroller General Norton is timely. The great rush after the pension moriey is piti ful to behold. Either there is'grtolt destitution among the old soldiers, or there is lack of those finer feelings which refine and ennoble. Not one of these veterans should be allowed to suffer. Perhaps the worthiest and neediest will bo the last to inake their wants known. Why not. es tablish a soldier’s home? Here, none should be turned away, but find a resting place until life’s battles arc over. engo ■convention.—Piedmont light. IIend- I to get >n In i, and COTTON SEED OIL MILL. , What has become of the project, to build in Gaffney a cotton seed oil mill? L'lfH winter it nearly material ized. Can wo nor give It life now? In many ways it will help oujf - town and community; and we are admira bly situated to gather the necessary seed and distribute the product of the mill. At first the search was for oil. While that continues the principal product of an oil mill, It la far from being all. Meal aud hulls have been used so long and so successfully- ns feed for stock that they are now a necessity. Even farmers, far from towiv, who have u plenty of cotton and at one time felt they could without them in feeding, have irdod the seed for the meal and en too the manufacture of ferti- is a natural outgrowth of an iill. And what place for Us size uorc fertilizer than Gaffney! E CADETS IN SAVANNAH. > Forest City has just had her week of pleasure and display, iry companies from north and and south were present to com- for the rich prizes offered.

Senator Vest, of Missouri, nevgr did and never will do u more unworthy thing than when, in debate fn.tho Senate some weeks ago, he referred, with a sneer, to the Presi- desit of the United States liuvlng “laid Ji is honors at the feet of Jesus.” It depends upon how one looks at suoh things. The Observer, for it^part, reads, . with emotions of pleasure, .in its \Yashington special of this morning, that Senator Butler ha* fjxed his eye upon the wicket gate and bus determined upon the higher life.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when tho languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act nore surely in counteracting and free ing the system from the malarial poison.
