Some of our roiulers will perhaps
remember that a week or two ago we
exposed a dishonest trick which the
American Journal of Health was
playing for the benelit of advertisers,
especially advertisers of colleges, and
we mentioned the fact that one col
lege within our knowledge had swal
lowed the bait olTered and was wear
ing the hook as a badge of honor.
Silence is golden. Our remarks
did not awake even a sleeping echo.
This is just as we expected. Those
whom we criticised and exposed,
wisely concluded that the best way to
treat such an exposition as we made,
was with silence, or as wo sup
pose they would say, with siient con
tempt. It is better to submit silent
ly to anything the Oallney Ledger
may say about the business, than to
bring about a wide publicity by agi
tation.
We still have in our possession the
advance editorial which the Journal
of Health proposed to publish for the
benefit of Limestone College, to
gether with a letter from the editor
or manager stating the price of
papers and requesting that he be in
formed immediately of the number
wanted. If the Journal will send
postage for the return of these
unique documents, we will cheer
fully furnish envelope and mucilage
and see them safely deposited in the
mails.
Since our article appeared, we
have received through the kindness
of an editorial friend, a clipping
from the New York Tribune of Sep
tember 12th, containing a double-
column editorial, fully ten inches
long, copied from this same Journal
of Health, and put into the Tribune
by H. B. Kirk Sc Co., the bottlers of
Old Crow Rye whiskey. The follow
ing certificate is appended to the
advertisement:
“The above article appeared in
print Aug. iStii, 18'.M), without the
knowledge, directly or indirectly, of
any one connected with the distilla
tion or sale of Ou> Chow Rye.
H. B. Kirk Sc Co.
“The American Journal of Health
states in another column that ‘un
der no circumstances will paid mat
ter bo inserted as reading notices, or
in the editorial departments.’ ”
^'ow here is an editorial of about
GOO words, claiming to be a volun
tary tribute to the merits of Old
Crow whiskey, put into the Tribune
by the dealers in the whiskey at a
cost of hundreds of dollars and de
clared by them to have appeared in
print without their knowledge. Fur
thermore it is asserted on the au
thority of the Journal itself that no
paid matter is ever inserted in its
editorial columns.
The whole thing is a fraud from
beginning to end. A type-written
copy of the editorial was sent to If.
B. Kirk A Co., before it appeared in
the Journal and an undcistanding
was reached as to the number of
papers Kirk A Co., would use at 8
cents apiece by the thousand. Sev
eral thousands of these papers were
taken and the Journal got several
hundred dollars for its voluntary
editorial. We suppose that Kirk Sc
Co., in their establishment recognize
type-writing as “print,” hence there
was no difficulty in declaring that
the article appeared In “print” with
out their knowledge.
Such is the method of this Journal
which booms female colleges and rye
whiskey. Wo wonder if it means to
recommend the use of the whiskey
in the colleges. Such a recommenda
tion would at least have the merit of
consistency and could no doubt bo
easily obtained by a promise from
the colleges and Kirk it Co., to buy
a few thousand of the papers con
taining the recommendation.
To do the Journal justice, however,
wo cannot charge it in this case of
the whiskey, as we did in the case of
the college, of praising a thing which
it has never seen. We have no
doubt that it thoroughly examined
“Old Crow” and subjected this bird
of evil omen to many crucial tests
pushed to the point of absorption
and annihilation. Neither do we
doubt that under the exhiliration and
excitement of the gustatory analysis,
the editor wrote what he believed, or
rather felt, to be true.
PYMMIKN AM) HOI'IKT IJt'NH.
Our announcement that *we should
probably have something to say at
the proper time, about an additional
appropriation of |:{.j,000 to Winthrop
College, attracted the unamiable at
tentions of a small portion of the"
State press, and provoked a fire of
small guns as useless as it was
ridiculous. These goose quill knights
are firing into the woods through
which the enemy is expected to ad
vance and thereby they not only
waste their ammunition, but exhibit
a nervous dread not in keeping with
courage and self reliance.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Rock Hill Herald especially, has be
come very much confused in its
ideas, of dimensions and distances.
Its rhetorical machine appears to
have jumped a cog, and to run down
with a whirl as a watch sometimes
does when the pawl by some means
is thrown out of the ratchet wheel.
The machine in this instance has
turned out blurred images of pyg
mies armed with squirt guns, sitting
or standing—we forget which—on
top of the Alps and shooting, or
more properly squirting, at Winthrop
College, which we suppose is situated
away down in some ravine or valley.
Then a change comes o’er the
spirit of the editor’s dream, and he
sees a battalion of the aforesaid pyg
mies descending from the top of the
Alps—for ’what purpose he does not
tell us, but it Is clear that they are
on “mischief bent” and their pur
pose must be to demolish Winthrop
College.
Come, now, brother Hull, don’t
let such images disturb you. Your
rhetoric is confused and you are a
little nervous—that’s all.
Before the great Civil War, a
Southern politician declared from
the stump that we could whip the
Yankees with squirt guns. After the
war was over the same politician was
again on the stump airing his views
of men and measures, when one of
his hearers called out, “you are the
man who said we could whip the
Yankees with squirt guns.”
“Yes, I am,” replied the nimble-
tonguod speaker, “and wo could have
done it, but they wouldn't fight us
with squirt guns!”
Let not the friends of Winthrop
take alarm at the picture drawn by
the Rock Hill Herald. There is not
going to be any battle with squirt
guns. We’ll not fight that way.
Seriously and plainly, all this hot
haste to attack what we are only ex
pected to say, and to smother all
remonstrance and to head off all op
position, indicates weakness and
conscious insecurity. The cause
that fears a full, free and dispassion
ate discussion gives evidence that it
rests on a rotten foundation, and any
scheme that will not bear the light,
is already self-condemned.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Mark Hanna has returned from
Furope. This country could have
managed to get along somehow, if
Mark had staid away indefinitely.
But, as uncle Toby said to the fly,
there is room enough for us all.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The Darien rioters in Georgia have
all been tried. Two were sentenced
to life imprisonment for murder.
The one tried for criminal assault
was acquitted—a strong protest
against the hasty action of mobs. The
Georgia court did well and its work
ought greatly to strengthen the law
throughout the State.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Charleston has declared quaran
tine against New Orleans, Key West,
Jacksonville, and all other cities in
fected with yellow fever. The first
eirect of thejquarantine in Charles
ton was to stop the importation of
fruits, which come through New Or
leans, and of which large consign
ments are due. The battle is on
with Yellow Jack and the all absorb
ing question is who’ll first cry “hold,
enough.”
We believe that it will pay the
farmers this year to hold as much of
their cotton as they conveniently can
for later markets. We mean to ex
press the opinion that prices will
rule higher. Where debts are due
and honor is at stake, it will not pay
any man to hold cotton, though he
were assured that the prices would
he doubled in thirty days. There
are some things worth more than all
the money that the whole cotton
crop will bring.

W. J. Bryan is out in Chicago,
handling the trusts with gloves off.
He presents strong facts and utters
some forceful truisms. Hero arc
some specimens:
“Kvery unjust tax law is an indi
rect form of larceny.
“I have no fear that any man by
his own brain and muscle will be
able to secure a fortune so great as
to be a menace to the welfare of his
fellow man.
“When God made man, he placed
a limit to his existence, so that if
he was a bad man, ho could not do
harm long, but when we made our
man made man, (the corporation),
we raised the limit of his age.
“We did not give him a soul, and
if ho can avoid punishment in this
world, he need not worry about the
hereafter.
“On the farm wo used to protecr
property from the hogs by putting
rings in tiieir noses. Why’/ So Chat
while they were getting fat, they
would not destroy more tiiun they
were worth. One of the great pur
poses of government is to put rings
in the noses of hogs.”

Some of our readers were a little
confused with our announcements in
regard to our S. S. conventions. It
is the county convention that will
meet at Corinth on the UUtli inst., on
Saturday; and the North Bacolet
convention that meets at Gethsem-
ane on the 21th.
Rev. C. A. B. Jennings is now con
ducting a meeting at Salem. Yester
day, last night and today ho had
good congregations and much inter
est is manifested. The communion
service will be held tomorrow and
the meeting will close.
The Christian Endeavor society
has placed some Bibles in our jail for
the use of the prisoners. Our sheriff
tells us that they care very little for
them. This is about what we expect
ed, but hope yet to overcome it. Jail
birds are not very fond of such read
ing matter, and that accounts largely
(if not entirely) for their mode of liv
ing. These books are now the prop
erty of the county; as much so as the
plates and cups out of which the
prisoners eat their meals, and we
hope our sheriff will see that they are
not unnecessarily abused If the
prisoners wont use the books they
should not be allowed to abuse them.
And we hope our grand jury will ex
amine these books and report the
plight in which they find them. We
owe it to the children who contrib
uted their bard earned pennies to
buy Bibles in order to help this un
fortunate clas's of persons to better
their lives, to see that they are nut
abused by vagabond outlaws or ne
groes win) are in jail for stealing
something, killing somebody or
otherwise violating the laws of our
country.
We have the confidence that our
sheriff will do his duty and protect
the best interest of the country and
its citizens.
Mr. James Eison is still rum ing
his saw mill near this place.
Mr. 11. Wright is expected to be

Mr. Smith Wood, of Spartanburg,

We hope all the members of Camp
Jefferies F. 0. Veterans will attend
the meeting at Wilkinsville next Sat
urday, 23d inst., at’» p. in. The
business before the camp is the adop
tion of such suggestions as it may
wish to make to the committee ap
pointed at the Chester reunion to
draft an amendment to the pension
law. This is a matter of much im
portance and it demands the atten
tion of every veteran in the state.
One of the recommendations most
likely to go up from this camp will
be to remove the property qualifica
tions and extend its benefits to every
veteran ardj widow who is now, or
may hereafter become, a citizen of
this state and who is otherwise enti
tled to receive it.
