The authorities of Limestone Col lege have recently received a com munication from the American Jour nal of Health, a paper purporting to he published at L»9 Fifth Avenue, New York, which ought to open the eyes of the public to some of the tricks and frauds practiced in modern advertising. The com munication consists of a pretty engthy production claiming to be an advance editorial for the Journal, on the sanitation of colleges in gen eral, but more particularly on the splendid sanitary regulations of “Cooper-Limestone Institute,” ac companied with a letter from the editor, requesting that the said edi torial be revised and returned im mediately. The letter further states that the article has been prepared expressly for the Journal of Health, and will be published without any cost whatever to the college, and that in case the friends of the col lege should desire any of the papers, they will be furnished by the thous and at 8 cents apiece, by the five hundred at 10 cents, and in smaller numbers, at If) cents. Here are some extracts from the editorial: “The investigations which have been conducted under the supervis ion of the Journal of Health in re gard to the hygienic conditions prevalent among the schools and colleges throughout the land, have convinced us that the standard of merit in this respect has been rising. One institution of learning, whose » sanitary surroundings were so far above the average as to cull for more than passing mention at the hands of the hygienist, was Cooper- Limestone Institute, located at Culf- ney city, South Carolina. Here Nature and science have combined to promote the health of the student. The former has supplied an ideal situation, a salubrious climate, a plentiful supply of fresh air and of pure water. In order to secure the fullest measure of benefit from this bounty of Nature, every precaution has been taken to render the condi tions in connection with the build ings of this institution as thoroughly sanitary as any which modern science can afford. To begin with, the arrangements for ventilation are so entirely adequate as to secure at all times the free circulation of fresh air throughout the buildings. This feature has been looked after in such a thorough fashion that one does not notice, even in the class rooms where large numbers are gathered together, the slightest taint in the atmosphere. In the matter of venti lation Cooper-Limestone Institute is worthy of being selected as a model; for in all the investigations that have been-conducted in connection with our editorial department, we have never met with any institution in which closer and more intelligent at tention has been bestowed on this matter. Passing from this subject to the arrangements that have been made for admitting the proper amount of light into the class rooms, we find ourselves again called upon to com mend the institution of which men tion has just been made. Cooper- Limestone Institute has not only shown the most discriminating care in regulating the adjustments in this connection so as to minimize any strain that might tend to fall on the students’ eyes during study hours, but it has also displayed the highest order of scientific judgment in select ing only such appliances as would meet with'.the approval of a thorough ly reliable authority on matters of sanitation. Tne two features to which reference has been made were the ones which, as they are too of- t >n neglected, attracted special at tention on the part of the hygienist to whose care the investigation was instructed. There were many other matters in connection with the insti tution under discussion that would, In any but a brief and fragmentary account like this, call for favorable comment; the most prominent of tha§e, though strictly outside the domain of our inquiry, being the high standard of culture and of scholarship which belongs to the faculty of Cooper-Limestoue Insti tute.” Now while all that is said in the above quoted extracts is truth, yet it is only a small part of the truth, and there are many unmistakable proofs about the article itself, that the writer has never seen at Limestone College and knows nothing whatever about its location or sanitary filia tions, more than ho has been able to learn from maps and public records. He is not even aware that the name of the college was changed more than a year ago, and he betrajs his utter ignorance of his subject by avoiding particulars and indulging only in “glittering generalities, which might apply almost equally well to any college in the state. Further, no one now at Limestone remembers that any representative of the Journal of Health has ever been there. Not long ago we heard the presi dent of a prominent female college boasting loudly that the sanitary and hygienic arrangements of his college ba4 been written up without his solicitaltoh or knowledge, in some health Journal in New York. And if we mistake not he soon after wards issued flaming circulars and scattered them far and wide, an nouncing to the people what the Journal of Health hud said about the sanitation of his college. We won der if it is this same Journal and if the write-up has been given on this same plan. The whole scheme is dishonest, and any college that accepts such services becomes particeps criminis, and is tainted with dishonor. W’e can speak for Limestone Col lege and say that it is not in the sham business, that it has a far bet ter system of sanitation than the editor of the Journal of Health has heard of, and that before it will be come a partner with theafore said Journal in perpetrating a fraud, it will close its doors and go out of the school business. It has a profound contempt for the tricks of the dema gogue, the pettifogger and the cir cus manager, and if it cannot suc ceed without [such adventitious and dishonest aids, it will accept failure as a high tribute to merit .and an unfading crown of honor. As regards the Journal which is so anxious to sell a few copies that it fills its columns with insincere plantitudos about places and things of which it has no direct knowhdge, wo have no words to express our condemnation. The paper is a dis grace to the high-sounding name which it bears—it is a quack, a dead boat and a humbug, and worthy only of the co'ntcmpt and detestation of all high minded men. NOTES AND COMMENTS. - _ —- - # (iullney has again proved true to herself by voting for a further issue of bonus to complete tho water works. The vote was almost unani mous, and its very smallness be tokens the quiet confidence which the masses of our people have in their leaders. Let the good work now be pushed to completion and let the town take the stand which she richly-ueserves, as being ono of the most pushing and enterprising towns of the state. The period of trial and sacrifice is passing; the period of compensation and fruition is coming. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The dreaded yellow fever has again made its appearance at several points on the Southern coast. There have been seven cases at Key \Y\ st and twodeaths. New Orleans, where it always finds a congenial home, reports one death, while another case has occurred as far north as Indiana. With the intimate relations now established between this country and the West India Islands, we may ex pect a battle with the insidious mon ster every fall. Science lias greatly mitigated the ravages of this terrible diseasa, but has fulled thus far to conquer it, and it remains a menace to life and a great disturber of the business relations of the country. The latest government reports, as well as all the current facts given by the newspapers, indicate that the present cotton crop will fall far short of the tremendous crop of last year, which panned out 11,274,840 bales. But before the farmers can get a higher price for their cotton, they must get the consent of one Mr. Neill, of New Orleans. It would be a blessed relief if Yellow Jack should scare him like it did the Governor of Mississippi a year ago, and chase him out of sight and hear ing. If such a feat cannot be ac complished, then we advise the farmers to retire him on a pension. nOSGBUDS Budding wo manhood ! Wliat glorious possibil ities! What half- hidden dangers !

As we waited in tho L. dr N. depot at Nashville for the train, some ono began crying and an excitement was raised among the passengers. A brief investigation proved that it was an old colored man who was giving way to his grief. Three or four peo ple remarked on the strangeness of it, but for some time no one said anything to him. Then a depot policeman came forward and took him by the arm, and shook him roughly and said : “See here, old man, you want to quit that! You are drunK, and if you make any more disturbance I’ll lock you up!” ‘‘Deed, but I hain’t drunk,” re plied the old man, as he removed his tear-stained handkerchief. “I’ze lusted my ticket an’ money, an’ dat’swhat’s do matter.” “Bosh I You never had any money to lose! You dry up or away you go!” “What’s the matter here?” queried a man as ho came forward. The old man recognized tho dialect of the Southernor in an instant, and repressing his emotions with a great ulTort he answered: “Say, Mars Jack, T’ze bin robbed.” “My name is White.” “Well, then, Mars White some body has done robbed mo of ticket an’ money.” “Where were you going?” “Gwine down into Kainluek, whar I was bo’n an’ raised.” “Where's that?” “Nigh to Bowlin’Green, sah, an’ when de wah dun sot me free I cum up this way. Hain’t bin home sence, sah.” “An you had a ticket?” “Yes sah, an’ ober $20 in cash. Bin savin’ up fur ten y’aars, sah.” “What do you want to go back for?” “To see de hills an’ de fields, de tobacco an’ de co’n, Mars Preston an’ de good ole missus. Why, Murs White, I’ze dun bin prayin’ fur it fo’ twenty y’ars. Sometimes de longin’ has cum till I couldn’t hardly hold myself.” “It’s too bad.” “He ole woman is buried down dar, Mars White, de ole woman an’ free chillen. I kin 'member tho spot same as if I seed it yesterday. You go out halfway to de fust tobacker house, an’ den turn to de left an’ go down to de branch whar de wimmen used to wash, Bar’s fo’ trees on de odder bank, an’ right under ’em is whar dey is all buried. I kin see it! I kin lead you right to de spot!” “And what will you do when you get there?” asked the stranger. “Go up to de big house an’ ax Mars.

Sorter company fur mo when my heart aches.” "Where wore you robbed?” “Out doahs, dar, I reckon, in de crowd. See? De pocket is all cut out. I’ze had dis journey in my mind fer y’ars and y’ars an’ now 1’ze dun bin an’ can’t go!” He fell to crying, and the police man came forward in an ollicious manner. “Stand back, sir!” commanded tho stranger. “Now, gentlemen, you have heard the story. I’m going to help the old man back to die on the old plantation and be buried along side of his dead.” “So am I!” called twenty men in chorus, and within five minutes we had raised enough to buy him a ticket and leave $f>0 to spare. And when he realized his good luck, tho old snow-haireu black fell upon his knees in that crowd and prayed: “Lord, I’ze bin a believer in You all my days, an’ now I dun axes You to watch ober dese yero white folks dat has believed in me an’ helped me go hack to de ole home.” And I do believe that nine tenths of that crowd had tears in their eyes us the gateman called out the train for Louisville.—Selected “I suffered with piles eleven years before using DoWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve; now my health is fully restor ed.—I feel like a new born man”— Conrad Stange, Pierz, Minn.

The Tolar-Hiirt-Ilolt Mill on Mas sey’s Hill, Fayetteville, N. C., is rapidly nearing completion, and a number of neat tenement houses have already been completed. We doubt whether a factory in North Carolina stands on a more magnifi cent site. The Bamberg, 8. C., Cotton Mills are at present busy shipping fine sheetings to China.

The tuxes for the two years the court held tho mill liable have been settled, and in that way the litigation, so far as Mr. Garetson is concerned, is at an end. The peo ple of Laurens have taken up the equities of the case, and have exemp ted the mill from taxation for a period of years. The promoters of the Laurens Mills thought they hud a bona fide exemption for a term of years when they constructed the mill, but the court held that the con stitution was against any such exemption.

(Correspondence of The I.edi;er.i Love Si'UiNiis, Sept., 1.—As I have seen nothing in your valuable paper from this progressive community I have decided to send you a few notes. This notable and beautiful place is tho home of our esteemed friend, Mr. W. C. Love, and is about eight miles west of Gaffney on the direct road from that place. The progressive town of Cowpens is only four miles west of f his place. Your scribe opened up a public school at this place on Aug., 2, and now has fifty-six scholars enrolled, ranging in ages from six to twenty years, and yet there are others to be e n rolled. Mr. R. Stacy also has a school about four miles from here. He has more than fifty scholars. A largo per cent, of his scholars belong to this district; notwithstanding this fact there arc yet in this school dis trict more than forty white children of the school age not enrolled in any public school, neither will they be so enrolled unless some of our trustees shake off some of their former indiff erence on tliis subject and build an other school house for white children in this district. The tax gatherer reaches all, but the benefits to the schools do not. We have long maintained that the common school law is the best in the world, so we still claim, if properly intepreted and enforced. But no great good can result from it unless it be made effective in all its phases. Our state superintendant seems to be alive to all the requirements of public education, and wo believe ho will leave no experiment untried in the State that promises advance ment to the cause. With such an outlook before ns as tho present one, and a county superintendant whose life-work has almost exclusively been an educational one, it is not loo much to expect to see a much high er grade of work done in the public schools in our county than has ever been done. Revs. A. M.- Ross and J. M. Bridg es held a ten days protracted meet ing with the Macedonia church peo ple, which greatly blessed the entire community, and everybody seemed to enjoy it. At its close twenty- seven young people were baptized into the fellowship of the church. This church will soon erect a new house of worsiiip; at present the plan is a brick building, but this plan is yet under criticism in the hands of the committee. A large quantity of good material, “in lumber,” is ready in tiie hundsof the committee. They have also perfected a plan by which the necessary amount of money for building can be raised. This plan the church at its last conference unanimously adopted, and now all things promise success at no distant day. The evidence is apparent every where of improvement among tiie people: all farms are well cultivated and terraced. The crops are above the general average in other portions of the county; tven the public high ways are in pretty good condition. Mr. Love, Mr. Surratt and Mr. Hum phries are ai! building splendid-dwel ling houses, ami other improvements of less note are apparent all around• In fact, no section of Cherokee coun ty can, wo believe, shows more local improvement than this one, and still the talk is, more improvements un der consideration in the minds of other citizens here. A very unnatural child was born in this vicinity a few days ago. All the top of the head was missing, and the nose, eyes and mouth of the little sufferer were all on top where the head should have been. It lived about forty-eight hours. I.. 11.

It justly merits the sup port of every citizen of Cherokee. Gaffney is certainly pushing to the front in the increase of population and manufacturing enterprises; far ahead of any town in Mississippi Your paper, Mr. Editor, does its purl well. It seems to be alive to every thing that redounds to tlie interest of Gaffney. There seems to be a unanimity of sentiment among the citizens in regard to the interest of Gaffney that assures success in ail their enterprises. I notice in the Ledger there is nffd has been a serious drouth in your state this summer, damaging crops materially. It was very dry here during April and til May 15th, since which rains have been regular and plentiful. The corn crop wu> never hotter. Owing to tiie drouth in April cotton seed did not germinate til three weeks later than usual. I'ho weed is up to the average height, but has littit; fruit on it. I have a paternal feeling for South Carolina. I was horn and raised a few miles south of Gaffney. I was in the State a few years ago and while there visited the old home stead in which the prattling days of my childhood were spent. Alas, what changes time had wrought. Nothing looked natural save the spring from whose pure, cool water I had often quenched my thirst. Former neighbors, schoolmates ami associates were gone, nearly all to that land from which no traveler returns. Subsckirkk. Yount- Lawyer* Going; to Ga(Tnt*y. (.AiLt-n Journal.1 Herbert E.
