A I’KOTKST. We protest against the apparently studied and labored elforls of some persons and of some daily news papers—notably, O e Oreenville News, less notably the Charleston News and Courier—lo produce the impression that the friends and sup porters of Limestone College are pushing a scheme to abolish the Greenville Female College and to in duce (he baptist State Convention to adopt Limestone as the denomina tional college of the State. When that news letter from Lnion which has stirred up so much feeling in the matter first appeared in toe News and Courier, a strong friend of Limestone College, and one in u uo.-i- tiun to speak authoritatively, wrote an article in reply, in which it was clearly shown that the Lnion cor- * respondent hud drawn almost en tirely on his imagination for facts and had widely misrepresented tin* sentiment of the friends of Lime stone College. The News und Courier kept for days (hat article, which would have done much to counteract the bad feeling produced by that letter, and then published only a garbled extract from it which did not fairly comprehend nor rc- present the whole spirit of the reply. Again, on Monday the 12th inst., we sent an advance copy of our edito rial of Tuesday to the Greenville News with an urgent request that it be published in Tuesday’s News. We were anxious, and thought it nothing but jusi, that the facts con tained in the said editorial should be known in Greenville while the trustees of the Greenville Colleges were in session and while many peo ple were there from different parts of the State in attendance on com mencement. The editor of the Greenville News quietly ignored our request, while he published an argument of his own and one from the Baptist Courier against the supposed movement, both arguments being entirely un necessary as there was no real move ment to combat. We should how ever, do him the justice to say that he copied the aforesaid extract from the News and Courier. Now nil this is very much like the cheap trickery of a demagogue who cries out persecution when there is no persecution, in order to strengthen himself by enlisting the sympathies of the people. We reiterate that Limestone Col lege is abundantly able to take care of herself and being conscious of her ability to do so, she is independent of the State Convention, and scorns the imputation that she would strengthen herself in any degree or direction, by injuring a sUter insti tution. She has a self-perpetuating board of trustees, is incorporated un der the laws of the State, and has all the organized machinery neces sary to perpetual existence. She owns property which has cost from iirst to last over one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, and she has strong friends who will see to it that she shall not luck for any thing in the way of necessary equip ments. Wiih a history behind her of which any institution might well he proud, with associations around her which are sources of continual inspiration, and with prospects be fore her sufficiently bright to satisfy any reasonable ambition, she can not afford to be either a persecutor or a beggar. It is indeed questionable whether it would be advisable to put the col lege under the control of the State Convention, if an opportunity should occur. It is highly probable that she cun do more for herself than the Convention could possibly do for tier. .NOTKis AMI COMMKNTM. We regret to hear through a re liable channel Ihul our old friend, Dr. Knight, of (Fountain Inn, 8. C., has withdrawn from his church und contemplates forming new occleslas- ticul affiliations. It is lute in the day, Doctor, to he ‘ going hack on your raising ’ and breaking loose fr iin the associations of a life-time. A mnn wiio has traveled one road us far as you have done, hud better think along time, before be turns back und tries a new road wblcb leads no one knows whither. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Wo congratulate that fair Alumna of the Greenville Female College. who, iiccurding to the New:-, ehar- acterized in public iniutiiig the hy pothetical attack on her Alma Mater as “u nasty thing ' We take tills forceful phrase as an abbreviated mi- 1 nor premise of a complete S/llogistn j • in mood and figure (rue, ’ which no doubt the fair one had well for mulated in mind, but which her in tense indignation concentrated into a resistless entbymeme. While we do not consider the phrase as a model of elegance, yet if the test of an argument is its unanswerableness, our fair young friend is entitled to the laurel. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Science is beginning to disregard all the Snagsbys in the world and “to put too fine a point upon it.” A short time ago she discovered through one of her eminent man servants Dial pure water is a deadly poison. Recently she has been look ing into other things and now dis covers myriads of vicious and blood-thirsty microbes in the per fume of flowers. We ere afraid that sc'etice is cultivating a passion for mare’s nests. However, until fur ther notice, we’ll continue to drink .lie purest water we can get and to enjoy both the beauty and the fra grance of the roses that our wives have planted and watched with so much tender solicitude. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ One of the hottest engagements of the war took place in the J’hilippines last Tuesday. For the first time American field guns were engaged with a Filipino battery concealed in a jungle. Our loss is heavy, but General Otis is cheerful—an offset liiul certainly will bring much com fort to the hearts that mourn for precious lives lost in the battle. In the mean tin e our govirn neut won dors why the insurgents fought so persistently and can find no reasona ble solution of the mystery ixcept in construing it as an evidence that they are reduced to a state of des peration. .Just so and here is an other r .y of comfort and hope for all who mourn over the lives that are saerafieed and the treasure that is wasted in the prosecution of this un holy war. ♦ ♦ ♦ On last Monday the 12th inst., ter rific tornados swept over portions of the north-west with the besom of destruction. The town New Richmond, Wis., wasjdemolisued, one hundred people were killed outright and twice as many more were maimed and mangled. Other’towns suffered und it is estimated that fully four hundred people lost their lives. The west and north-west are pe culiarly subject to these terrible storms. From a deep calm they Jfap suddenly into furious life—no man knows exactly how—and the strongest works of man vanish like frost work when once in the clutches of their awful power. In F.orida they are unknown and it is a subject for gratitude tiiat they do not often pay their destructive visits to our section of the country. All in all, we believe that the I’iedmont region of South Carolina is one of the most highly favored regions on the globe. The people have not yet fully ap preciated its advantages nor realized its possibilities. The weekly bulletin of ti;<- weather and the crops in 8outh Carolina, is sued from Columbia lust week, was not encouraging. The drought lias been pretty general over the state, und in many parts late plantings were not up at the beginning of this week. Spring oats everywhere are a failure, while corn in the southern part of the state where it was in tas sel, has been badly damaged. But the ruins began to come on Saturday and have continued in a sort of desultory manner, until many parts of the state are now abundantly sup plied. Cherokee, at ti.is writing, lias far from enough, but the signs are good, the day of grace for the crops lias sometime yet to run, und there is no cauio for disc niruga;n m t Work is now the duty of the hour. The crop which is well worked will stand a drought twice us long and will bo in three times better condi tion to get the full benelit of t',e rains when they do come, than the crop which has been permitted to do the best it could with tiie loud ground and the irrass and weeds. 4i<ml Ishiml. Goat Island, Cherokee's famous pleasure resort is opening up the summer under most favorable cir cumstances. Our North Carolina cousins are availing themselves of its attractions, und it is becoming the general outing resort for schools and geniel pleasure sei kers in Cherokee und adjoining counties.

BILL BEFORE CONGRESS. 'I'lu.'Chrlslhtn KnileiAAor Society Ha* Agreed to Furid*li the County .lull With Illhleu. I’.tsojiiaI and t.ocul Itcuvs from l.ower Cherokee. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jam:, June LL—The weather was intensely warm last week. The thermometer registered 104 in the shade at 2 p. m., last Friday. Mr. 1\ S. Webber, of Wilkinsville, has the best average cotton crop wo have seen this year and it is in the best fix loo. 1'mk is a farmer as well as a mechanic. The order of the county supervisor to have obstructions removed from Tliickety creek is one of vital im portance to this community. Of one tiling wo feel assured, however, that to take out everything will cost, the farmers as much as tluir lands are wort h. Mrs. T. M. Littlejohn lias chills. It is u fact that the chills are now in places where they were never known before. If we can’t locate and remove this cause of so much chilling the citizens of this section will have to abandon it and move to a healthier clime. Now that the Cowpens Battle Ground celebration lias passed off to the entire satisfaction of its most enthusiastic friends, we must not conclude that we have accomplished all we set out to do. Two years ago, when the matter of converting the I att lefield into a National Turk was j fiv I spoken of through the columns I nf this paper, the idea was. hooted at i as a (Iream. But our readers were told then (which the files of the Led ger will show) that these very purl it s would come in inter und help to do the shouting. That prediction lias been verified. The matter is just now taking root, and it will require careful attention until the object is fully accomplished. One single blunder will put the matter year, be hind—-if not ruin the prospects for- cwr. The bill now before congress provides for a sufficient appropriation to make this one of the most beauti ful pleasure resorts in all ttie Soutli land, and an especial adornment of the map of Cherokee county. Our friends must remember that it will take something else besides the blow ing of trumpets and beatiug of drums to accomplish our object. It will take hard work and lots of it, too, hut we can do this if only we are united in heart und purpose. Let no man’s sellish motive or false am bition betray his purpose and ruin the work. Some people never see anything beyond the limits of their own seifisli ambition, and all tiie acts of their fellowumn, however hon est, are judged from a standpoint of prejudice. These are the malcon tents with whom we often have to deal. Some one has made the discovery that tiie largest limbs of trees gen erally grow toward tiie South. Mr. John Henry Fowler took quite sick lust Friday und called in i)r Wood, of Hickory Grove, to see him. Some of our people attended the school entertainment and picnic at Asbury chapel last Friday and Sat urday and report a very line exhibi tion. That’s the way our Asbury people do. They never half do their work. The rain came last Sabbath eve ning and the effect is purely magiem both on the crops and tiie counte nances of our farmers—we can't tell which it improved most. We have had no rain of consequence since the 21th of April last. Miss Alice asks who the American Daughters of Liberty were and we lake pleasure in telling her: They were a society of ladies formed in Bhiludeiphia on tiie 13th day of June, 1780, for the purpose of supply ing the soldiers of the Revolution with clothing. They divided tiie city into ten districts and appointed four of their number in each district to s dieit contributions. They received 2,030 shirts in the city and 77 shirts and 300 pair of socks from the people of New Jersey. By the way, to-day is IhellOth Anniversary of that or ganization. Tiie authorities at Washington, D. 0., have already selected the census supervisors for this State. Farmers are sowing peas on their s!utile lands. The proof reader gives us had spell ing for had writing—that’s tit for tat. Who ever heard of a bridge on “pil lows?” Oar efficient county supervisor will look after tiie Owens ford bridge at once. He believes ttut a pre vent dive is better than u cure—so do we. From Gaffney to Drayton- ville Mountain is one of the finest drives in the county awl other sec tions of the public road are being put in good condition as fast us the con victs can do so. Everybody can’t be waited on at one tunc. We believe Mr. Lipscomb and bis corps of county commissioners are uoing all they can with Hie means at their dis posal. The Christian Endeavor Society lias agreed to furnish the county jail w ith a sufficient number of Bibles for the use of the prisoners und convicts, flu! county commissioners have kindly consented to furnish conven- ient and suitab.e places for kotqmig tin in so that those who desire to do so eun read or have them read. A prominent minister of Hie gospel has agreed to aid the society all he can in its work and wu have no doubt but that others will too. That our prisons as reformatory schools are a failure no sane inuu will attempt lo deny. The chain gang und tiie peni tentiary often make heroes and martyrs of criminals, who come out of them much worse men than when they went in. Tiie tendency of prison life Is such uh to make the convict feel flint he is u brute rallur than a human being. I) that iha could lie reversed then there is some hope. As a Christian nation we'are | not called upon to send the gospel to ; other lands and neglect those around jus with whom wo come in contact every day. In fact we are culled upon to do both. On entering our court houses we need not look in the prison’s dock for the only scoundrel present. We may find him on the bench, or at Hie bar, or in the jury box or on the wit ness stand, and these considerations should lead us to look upon the man who in tiie moment of temptation fell a victim to Satan’s wiles as an object of pity as well as contempt. j. L. s. A FORGER IN GAFFNEY. A Slick lixllvhluul SavIihIIka .Mr. T. II We* trope. Some weeks ago a man by the nr me of J.. L. Dovoe came to Gaffney and began Avork in one of tiie mills of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company. He was of good appearance and behaved himself in siicli a manner as not to at tract special atleot hm but to make a rather favorable impression upon those he met. An the 10th instant, he went into Mr Thos. H. Westiope a jewelry store and bought a g d watch and a pair of gold rimed spec tacles and offered in payment a checa for sixteen dollars, on the Commer cial National Bank of Charlotte, N. C., dated the titli inst., and signed by W. II. Wakelield, M. D., a well known specialist of that city. Dr. Wakefield is also well known in Gaff ney and Mr. Westrope having been favorably impressed by Devoe, took tiie check and gave him a small amount of change, the difference be tween liis bill and the check. Devoe left the store and seemed to have left the city at once. Mr. Westrope placed the check in A. N. Wood’s bank, and it was sent to Charlotte for collection. It was discovered by Dr. Wakefield and returned to the bank here us a forgery. Nothing has been heard of Devoe since. He is en joying his plunder and Mr. West rope is prompted to lie more cautious in tiie future. (I'iiurlotte Observer.! The bank people of Gaffney, S. C., are wanting a fellow who passed fcwo forged cheeks on them on Monday and Tuesday. One of the ceeeks was for ijiLo and had Dr. W. H. Wakefirld's signature on it. This was presented at A. N. Wood's Bank. The other was passed through the National Bank of Gaffney, und was for $22. It hud Mr. R. H. Jordan’s signature across tiie back. Tiie checks were drawn, respectively, on the Commercial National Bank and the Chariotto National Bank, of this city, and were sent to the First Nat ional Bank for collection. The lat ter sent to the Commercial National and tiie Charlotte National to collect the checks, but the cashiers refused to pay them, pronouncing the signa ture forgeries. The party who forged the checks lias not been caught. The Gaffney banks are after him. I ruat*. (G. V. Hobart. In P.iKinn ■ A rncrl* all.] Trust In Leatle t. Tru*t In Ab •, Trin-t In < '<)l>|i‘ r.

The disease iironiptly returns, however, and is even more violent and destructive than neforo. Cancer is a deadly noisou in tllTi blood, and an ojieration, plaster, qjr other external treatment can nave no effect whatever upon it. The cure must come from within—the last vestige of yiolson must be eradicated. Mr. 'Wm Walpole, of Walshtown, S.
