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.

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.
