The Columbia State < 2d, publishes a letter Johnson, President of College, explanatory of what temporaries are pleas* i charges, preferred by ur c**n 1 ns pip'-r, against him and Win!hr p <'o'!* i : e. The State pronounces h'- vin ''-r. .n complete, and calls upon us to with draw our ‘‘charges and intimations and let the matter drop.” We have great reepeoi no ’ • State’s opinion, and we a,),.; ate its generous exprej-^o. i of In* : ship, and we are perfect!;, willrg !o let the matter drop, in fact ihe matter dots drop of it^ own wtignt. Hut to withdraw charg* wiiicii we *!o not conscientiously believ* we nave ever made, is a ta^k which we tn- not perform; and to assume the responsibility of ail ihe inf* rencis which might be drawn from the facts which we stated in language .*.■? clear and concise as we could command, would be to stultify ourself by as suming responsibilities which lie be yond the pale of human accomplish ment. We simply stated some facts that came to our knowledge, recognizing the coloring naturally beloi dug to them at this end of tin line and asked for an explanat Johnson now comes ou‘ • color which th y . end of the line i blend in th publ • monious W 1) de, ’ here If they appear lilt r*-!; ent p lints of vi \v, v. • are sihle for it.

We should have been pleased to publish Prof Johnson's let*or in The Ledger, and wo intimated as mu-h to him *n a private note w rit i n before Htate, when the latter shall have proved himself to be a genuine conqueror. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The scarcity of lumber and the greatly enhanced price of all kinds of building material do not seem to relax the building strain in Gaffney, nor to discourage in tlie least tliose who want new houses. New houses have become so common that they cease to attract much attention. ^ ou ; see a pile of bricks or a few loads of lumber deposited one day on a vacant i lot, and the next day you see a house ■ g.'ing up and trains of wagons bring- i n.g in more lumber and bricks, and ; yuu hardly stop to enquire who is the ! owner of the house. Since Gaffney ; whs “Gaffney's old field” she has not 1 exncr'r need w ueh activity’in building, .1 !r. if. •oriccqucnce such rapid ex- ; iin.si'in as she is experiencing now. At the present rale of growth she wili have ten thousand inhabitants by the end of the next five years. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I he State Fair comes off this week j Li Columbia. The railroads as usual are making generous reductions in rates of fare, and everybody who can ought to take advantage of the pro- J pitious occasion to visit Columbia. Tins mingling once a year of people from ali parts of the state at the cap ital city, does much to wards harmoni zing discordant feelings and unifying public sentiment, while an exhibition of the varied products of the state does much towards stimulating in dustry and enterprise. We are glad to know that the products of our car- ! pet mill will be on exhibition, and wo hop* that Cherokee will be repre- - Hod in th** products «*f the farm a ! girder. Our new county, like a. row things, needs advertising, K.’.d juuicious and honest advertising will bring worthy occupants to the f: . n>' more trade to the towns, bet- t* • prices f >r lands and more money to spend and enjoy. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Spartanburg J’ouhry Associa tion will noId its annual show in De cember and it is time that poultry fanciers were gettmg their stock in tii: i for exhibition.

Thou sands of men, women and children ure employed in the factories, one of which was visited by a traveler who gives some Interestiug particulars about his visit. An attendant invited him to take a scat. He tlid so, and strains of delight ful music came from the chair, lie hung his hut on a rack and put his stick in the stand. Music came from both rack aud stand. He wrote Ids iiaino in the visitors’ register, and on dipping his pen into the ink music burst forth from the inkstand. The manager of the factory explain ed the process of making musical boxes, a business which requires pa tience and nicety. The different parts are made by men who are experts in those parts and who do nothing else year in aud year out. The music is marked on the cylinder by a man who has served several years of apprenticeship. Another man inserts in the marked places pegs which have been tiled to a uniform length. The comb, or set of teeth, which strikes the pegs and makes the sound is arranged by a man who does nothing else. The cylinder is then re volved to see that every peg produces a proper tone. The most delicate work of all Is the revising of each peg. It is done by a workman who has a good ear for mu sic*. He sees that every peg is in its proper place and Is bent at the correct angle.
