A IK I I T C'OIt K ECTN KSS. We enjoyed the Columbia State’s facetious remarks in answer to our comments on the word “anent and other newspaper barbarisms. \\ o appreciate the generous compliments which the State pays the editorial page of The Ledger, and wo do not object in the least to its mild and delicate criticisms. The State has done a great deal towards elevating the standard of newspaper English in South Carolina, and more perhaps, towards elevating the standard of newspaper morals. Its pointed, vig orous, incisive editorials are living illustration of the force of the Eng lish language while now and then a gem appears in its editorial col umns to demonstrate its beauty. Above all, the State’s straight forward, manly consistency, its clear insight into men and measures, and its fearless advocacy of the right and out-spoken, uncompromising oppo sition to whatever is wrong in poli tics or morals, have won the respect of its fair-minded enemies and the confidence and admiration of its friends. Rut the State is human, and there fore sometimes errs. We admit that it can handle the English language with great etlectivcness and with re markable correctness. Rut even here sometimes its vision becomes a little obscured and fails to reveal to it the whole situation. We hardly think that the charge of redundancy against our expression, “Indian Squaw,” can be fairly sus tained. “Squaw” is a pure Indian word, meaning “wife” or “woman”— not necessarily an Indian wife or woman. An Indian would designate the most beautiful woman to be seen on the streets of Columbia as a squaw, because lie would have no other name by which to call her. Now, we hold that when we use the pure Indian word without change or inodiiicution in the form, it is to be supposed that wo are also using it without change or modification in the meaning. That meaning in this I country occupied by different races, would clearly require an adjective to . designate the race to which Ihe squaw, or woman, belonged. Wo ! submit this view of the case for the State’s consideration and reflections. ; We plead guilty to the charge of incorrectness in the use of the word j. “either” at the close of a sentence, I and urge our motive, which the I State does not seem to have divined, [ in justification, or at least in exlon- ! mtion. We were trying to combat i a supposed charge of pedantry, and [ after mentioning several words and phrases to which we had decided ob jections we closed with a sentence f; which we hoped, by its form would 1 give convincing proof £of the truth of the assertion which it contained. The sentence was, “We are not fus- t tidious and hard to please, either.” We fondly thought that we had [ struck upon an ingenious device ; somewhat akinjto onomatopu'a, which i carried with it all the force and de monstration of a diagram. It Js hu miliating to think that so shrewd an observer as the State failed to see any evidence of genius in our effort. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The first bale of new cotton for this season was shipped from Texas i to New York, and sold for the bene fit of the sufferers of the Texas Hoods. It brought $2,000, and was after wards donated to the exchange and will be sent to Roston to be re-sold at auction. What a pity that this business cannot be kept up until a few thousand bales can be sold for k the benefit of the sulfering farmers ’ throughout the South! ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Governor Candler makes a ringing appeal to the people of Georgia, to uphold the law and put down lynch ing. The tone of the appeal indi cates that the Governor has at last awaked to the seriousness of the situation, and that he will do tils ut most to enforce the laws. Rut after all, the fate of the law depends on juries, and juries are control leu by public sentiment, and public senti ment is timid and compromising in the face of the mob and sore over the horrible crimes that provoke the vengeance of the mob. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Its a pity a civilized community is compelled to put up with such a nuisance us Rill Meetze Is to Colum bia. Mcetze is a bully, a murderer, a gambler and a general all round bad man. His son seems to be of the same stripe. The end of both will more than likely lie tragienl and the sooner it conies the hotter for the city of Columbia. Such characters add nothing to the lustre and gran deur of a State. South Carolina has too many such men within her bor ders for her own good. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Yellow Jack has elfected a landing at Hampton Ya., and is spreading terror and consternation on all sides. Cities all along the coast are quaran tining against Hampton, Norfork. and Newport Nows, and travel and businessjwill no doubt be seriously in terrupted. In the soldiers homo at Hampton, which contains about 4,0<\) soldiers, there have been eight deaths out of forty cases. There is no cause, whatever, for alarm or un easiness in our part of the country, for though communication with the Virginia coast is pretty direct, the altitude of the Piedmont precludes the possibility of a home for yellow fever. The country is on a boom. Ac cording to the Columbia State, five cotton mills have been organized in South Carolina within the last ten days, carrying an aggregate capital of $2,000,000. Resides these many other minor enterprises are afoot which involve altogether a vast sum of money. In every direction new buildings are being erected and there is hardly an idle carpenter, brick layer or stone mason to he found. Our Limestone Springs Lime Com pany are operating extra kilns and are over two thousand barrels behind their orders. The country is making strides in material development be yond anything ever attempted or thought of in the past. The Penetentinry Investigating Committee after a long rust has been in session again at Greenville, and Col. Neal lias again been before it. The committee met in Green ville, it is said, at the request of Col. Neal and his counsel, and it was expected that the work would be finished in a day or two. Rut after spending several days in hearing wit nesses swear to Col. Neal’s good char acter, it becomes necessary for the committee to adjourn to Columbia in order to be near to other important witnesses high in political life, who arc also ready and anxious to testify to the Colonel’s good character. The mountain can't conveniently come to .Mahomet, therefore, .Ma homet will go to the mountain. The country is not particularly interested in Col. Neal’s previous record as a man of integrity. It wants to know what went with those penetentinry assets, which Col. Neal thus for has been unable to explain. Wo agree with the Charlotte Ob server, that the Eunner’s Alliance is dead, and that the politicians killed it. There isn’t the least doubt of either fact. The order at one time had Id,(MM) members in South Caro lina. Now, it is asserted that there are not d,0<M). We believe that there is still a wholesale establishment under Alliance auspices in Columbia, which proposes to sell every thing a farmer is likely to need at reduced price, but so far as we know, it is of little, if any, financial benefit to the farmers. Any other good honest, wholesale house with ample capital behind it, could, and probably would, do as well by the farmers as this Al liance establishment can do. And this house is now about the only visible relic of the Noble Order which promised so much. In an un guarded hour the politician came in and assumed control, and hence forth the order was prostituted to political purposes and was bound to share the fate of political factions. It is to be hoped that the farmers will profit by their past experience, and will yet find some way of suc cessfully organizing themselves against extortion and oppression. The only way now open to a success ful contest with the big trusts, is through counter trusts, if the farmers bad the genius for organiza tion that large manufacturers have, they could humble all the trusts on the continent and compel them to beg and whine for quarter. Man wants but little here below to carry him through life, unless he stops to take aboard some other fel low’s wife.

Editor ok Tub Lkdokr :—It is not often that 1 have anything to write that 1 think would ho interesting, amusing or instructive to my friends or the readers of your valuable paper, and my only excuse now is that I have been absent from my office some three weeks, and in answer to the many inquiries of my friends the reason of my absence. First. I have been confined to my room with stomach or malarial fever. I had to take less than a peck of calo mel and quinine to break it up. My next reason is that the county dupli cate has been made up, and ready to make report to the Comptroller Gen eral, as required by law, though 1 have had a competent man in my office to attend to any emergency, and I am now ready to make the an nual settlement with the treasurer when it suits the convenience of the comptroller general to visit us, as he must be present. I nm now conva lescent. .Since I have been able to ride about I have been traveling in different parts of the county looking at the crop prospect. One month ago the crops that I saw reminded me very much of the memorable year 1845, known as the dry year. The crops that year, on the first of June, looked more promising than this year, but as the drought continued there was nothing scarcely made. About three weeks ago there was a good season in my section, and has been showery and cloudy since, and I never saw such an improvement in crops. Forward corn in some places was injured by the dry weather, but late corn, peas and cotton are look ing fine, the cotton generally knee high and putting on fruit finely. If the rains continue through August 1 think there will be u fair average crop gathered this fall. While traveling around 1 learned there was to be a children’s day at Antioch Church, and to that place I wended my way. When I arrived 1 found a large crowd assembled at the church. The Antioch brass band hud given an out door welcome by render ing some fine selections for the occa sion of Sunday school work. The exercises were commenced by prayer offered by Rro. Daily, after which Rro. Ronner McSwain took charge of the school and gave a summary of the program of the exercises of the day. Not having thu program I can not give you the pieces as they came up in order, but the general theme was Rible work. Everything bad been arranged to that end to show up the Rible and our duty to follow up its teachings. Rio. Ronner McSwain conducted the exercises, assisted by Rro. F. H. Durer, E. Hardin and I'rof. Gernn. There was some fine rehearsals. There was one subject that was rendered that took my attention more than others, I’ure Cold Water, that was delivered finely, and showed clearly that pure cold water was the only drink that should enter the human body. There was about Liu scholars belonging to the shool, and each acted its part line, the musical de partment was conducted by Robert Dickson, organist, accompanied by a silver cornet. The girls of the whole school were dressed in white and when the whole school joined in song your humble servant was completely carried away and it seemed that i had gotten in the fairy land, and among the little angels, for such 1 believe is the Kingdom of Heaven. Jf I could remain in just such a world I would never want to get to a better world. At 1 p. m., dinner was announced, and a nicer picnic I have never been at. Everything that could tempt the eye or appetite was placed on the table and no people knew butter how to prepare than the ladies around Antioch church. Dinner being over the hand gave an out door treat of somu of the finest music that could be procured. Each member seemed to be with his neighbor in performing his part, it was all well done. The services in the house were then resumed. Rrother McSwain made a Sunday school talk, and also Drother T. Mul- linax, who showedjihe great progress that Sunday school had made since he was a youth, and gave some nice hits against long Sunday school talks and long prayers in Sunday school, i’rof. Green then put the school through a thorough Jcuteehism of all the lessons gone over this year up to the present time, explaining a good many of the mysteries of the lessons. The school thei- builded or raised a beacon or light house to guide the wayward against the rugged rocks, that they might come into the harbor safely. The building was directed by Rro. A. NVhisonant and E. Hardin. The first rock, or foundation, was a representation of a large rock, with the word Christ, a sure foundation; the next was Faith, the next Love, and cupped with Hope, on which was placed a frame and finishing stone, laid by E. Hardin, a muster builder; then on top was placed a lighted lump, or beacon light, representing the bible, to give light to the world, and to keep the wayward off the rug ged rocks that we might run against in this world below. Rro. Raily was then called on to give the bible work and our duty, which bo did in his clear style, which I cannot explain, but all who know Rro. Rally know that lie does not do anything by halves. \v. i>. c. The soothing and healing properties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, its pleasant taste and prompt and per manent cures, have made it u great favorite with the people everywhere.

Clirinliaii Endeavor N* ivk. More has been said about “Detroit Jtf)”, the Christian Endeavor Conven tion which closed on the loth of July, than was ever said about a similar meeting. There is hardly a paper of any standing that has not devoted o great deal of space to it, and not only the best papers but also some of the best magazines have given liberal space to the subject, The Lierury Digest of 2'Jtii of July gives its readers a 1x7 halftone of the executive officers, which are such men as Rev. ('has. M. Sheldon, Rishops A rind and Fallows, J’res- ident Clark, Mr. J. W. Daer and many other well known men. Well it has been said that it was the best ever held and thar if has the largest accredited number of repre- senutives of any sect, society or asso ciation on cither continent. Two of the delegates came six thousand miles in order that their society und country might be represented. The Digest gives the Detroit Free I’ress the credit of saying as follows: “Here is a movement whose rapid growth has surpassed t he progress of any cause recorded in the history of the world. Here is an organization, interdenominational, and internat ional, that annually assembles the largest concourse of accredited repre- senatives of any sect, society or asso ciation ou either continent, in three days it is to be Detroit's privilege to look upon the impressive evidences of the magnitude and the evangeliz ing power of this mighty host of zealous young Christians.” Mr. J. W. Raer, the General Sec retary, in Ins annual report t® the convention says, notwithstanding thu fact that .Mr. Skeptic says the cause has seen it’s better days, it has a net gain of nearly two thousand societies and a net gain of over one hundred thousand members. The total number of societies is f>r>,8R», with u total membership of ;>,;>.>() (Mmi. There is not a country on the face of the earth that has not a society. The i’resbyterians lead in the United States in the number of Societies and members, in England the Baptist lead, in Australia the Wesleyan Methodist lead and in Canada the Methodist. “Great Rritian has ovei six thousand societies and royal wel come awaits us next July in Lon don.” Austraiiia lias t\vo thousand societies, India lit), Chim*. LIU, Af rica HU, Mexico 108, West Indies lU!*, Germany HU, Madagascar U.!, Japan T.'l, and through a long list. The society that has lead in con tributions for all purposes is the St. i’eter’s German Lutheran Chureh, Alleghany City, I'a., with a total collection of $ 1,1811,7 I. .Many others have given very near this amount. In closing his report Mr. Raer says: “Over one million and one- half church members from the ranks of the Christian Endeavor” have been added to the chureh in the last ten years. T. K. i>.

The principal reason why country merchants fail to advertise profita bly is that in their advertisements they do not talk specifically about the article they want to sell nor do they give prices. They must learn the Wanumuker system. If the reader is at all interested in an arti cle he wants to know its good points. If these aro favorable lie wants to know tho price. If tins is satisfac tory ho becomes a buyer, and the ad vertisement has served both seller and buyer. If no misrepresentation has been made the sale of this arti cle may have created a steady custo mer, the profit on whose trade may become large enough to pay for the advertising necessary to secure one hundred more customers like him.
