The Greenville Mountaineer culls for a history of the political revolu tion in South Carolina in 1870, and the Columbia State endorses the call in a strong and eloquent editorial. Prof. Davis of the South College is recommended papers as the proper man it. The cull is a timely and impera tive one, and we sincerely hope that Prof. Davis will immediately under take the work, and trust to the next Legislature to furnish him whatever means may be necessary to complete it. The materials for such a history can be gathered now more easily than ever again. The stirring events of that revolution are fading from the memories of the living, and many of the actors are passing away every year. It was a revolution which far surpassed in consequences to this state that of exactly one hundred years before which wrested this land from the dominion of Great Britan, for the Utter one rescued Anglo-Sax on civilization from a condition worse than primitive barbarism. Such a work should deal copiously with the causes that led to the gen eral uprising in 1870. It should re hearse fully and faithfully the politi cal history of the State covering the ten years immediately proceeding the grand culmination. The people of the North and of the rest of the world bave never yet had any ade quate conception of what the white people of South Carolina sullereddur ing these ten years. Now that the passions engendered bj a great war have subsided and sectional hate lias given place to the sway of reason, the time is ripe for the horrors of those years to be fully revealed. They were years during which dense ignorance was clothed in power and a horde of the vilest scoundrels that ever escaped the gallows came llock- idg in from many lands to hold a high carnival amid 1 he ruins of tbo fallen temple of justice and right, and to feast on the spoils wrung from prostrated virtue and honor—arbi trary tributes exacted from wealth, intelligence and refinement by an irresponsible and chaotic power bloated with success and reeking with corruption. The land marks of English liberty were swept away ai d the proud Anglo-Saxon spirit was op pressed, depressed, compressed until it could yield no more without ex tinction. Then the rebound was ter rific. The people goaded to despera tion, rose as one man and under the leadership of the peerless Hampton and the daring, dashing Butler once more asserted thteir right to rule and hurled the theiviug horde of carpet baggers and scalawags from power. The revolution was comparatively bloodless, yet it accomplished more than the revolution which placed William of Orange on the throne of England—more than that terrible up rising which slew a king ana queen of France and clothed a whole nation in the habiliments of woe—it res cued civilization in this part of the ! world from demolition and evolved cut of barbarism and anarchy, in a few short months, a reign of law and order. The materials for the proposed history are abundant and accessible. There are files of newspapers that will cover the whole period, besides many other sources of information that are easily available. The book, if properly written, will be us thrill ing as a novel and more instructive than a text book on science. Wo be lieve ourself that I’rof. Davis is the man to write it. If lie cannot be prevailed upon to undereuke the work, then call out Gen. McCrady. AIOKK ABOUT ••STKCIFYING." We informed the Greenville Nows last Friday that we could and would under certain conditions, “specify” the name of the gentleman who in formed us of the operations of its agent among republicans. But when the News finds that its bluff can be easily called, it is not so anxious to have us “specify names and places,” ae its first article led (lie public to believe. After reiterating that the story is a falsehood and that it has received no returns from any such canvasser, the News further discourses as follows: The JahIkof now taki N the unuuI course of :t *»w ill uud malicious wituekk who U trying to avoid (riving opportunity for contradiction. It says the namo of its informant is in its oflice and will he furnished “not for publica tion” on demand. We do not want the name of Its informant, lie is supposed to father a statement, intended to injure us, w hich we have every reason to believe to be untrue, on which the Ledger founded an insinuation, intended to injure us. which was know to lie uni rue. We have said our say about the mat- tor. If the Ledger and it s in formant are will ing to remain in the position they are it is no concern of ours. If they do not lind it un comfortable we arc out I rely satis lied. Now, the Ledger and its informant are not at all uncomfortable, but in order to disabuse the mind of our esteemed contemporary of the belief that the Ledger is “a swift and ma licious witness trying to avoid giving opportunity for contradiction,” we beg to remind it of a fact or two which in charity we shall assume it either did not hear of or has forgot ten. We are informed that quite recent ly a Latcti of seven subscribers for the Greenville News was obtained in the town of Blacksburg, and furtiter- more that a resident republican en gineered this subscription among his fellow republicans, representing the paper, us we have before said, as be ing a good, sound, solid republican paper. The correctness of our infor mation - 's partially confirmed by the fact that Mr. Foster, a soliciting agent for the Greenville Observer, an afternoon paper issued by the Greetivilie News Company, mention ed of his own accord to an attache of our office, a day or two since, this fresh batch of subscribers to the News, and asked how it had bten ob tained. He was told the particulars about as we have related them. Th.s agent in Blacksburg as we arc in formed is a Mr. Black—not Colonel nor Doctor Black, hut plain Mister Black, whose Christian name we have forgotten if we ever heard if This can, however, be easily ob- tuined if necessary to the complete ness of tliis “specifying” business. We shall not attempt to reconcile all this with the assertion of the News that “no returns” have reached its office from • ny canvasser and that it has but o. o republican sub scriber, nor shall we attempt to an swer its imputut >ns of falsehood and malice in any ot .er manner than by the facts above stated. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The first days of real spring are upon us, and all Nature seems to be thrilled with life and gladness. ♦ ♦ The peach crop has had a close call. We believe, however, that if no other disaster befall it, there willle a fair crop in this part of the coun try. Bears and apples and also late blooming varieties of plums, are as yet safe. But watch the next full moon. It has been, they suy, nineteen years since such an epidemic of grip prevailed, ustiiat which is now pre vailing all over the country. There is hardly a family in Gaffney or in the county, in which some one is not complaining. There is, however, lit tle fatality from straight cases of grip. The disease deals most severe ly with the old and those alllicted with other disorders. It isa'imewhen every one should take the best care of his health that his circumstances will allow. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A writer in the Charlotte Observer suggests Bryan and Cleveland or Cleveland and Bryan as the presi- dtntial candidates of the democracy in the next elections. But Tor the unwritten law against a third term, that would he a ticket to win. There are hundred of thousands of intelli gent people in this great country wiio would rejoice to have “four more years of Grover.” It is our humble opinion that he was by far the best all-round president the country has had since the war.

Cherokee Z cv LIMESTONE COLLEGE. A Coll«‘({« for Women Tlmt Takes YanKfir anil Wellesley an Models. Bresident Lee Davis Lodge, of the Limestone College for women, was in Charleston a few days ago on a busi ness visit, and when asked concern ing the conditions and prospects at tiiis famous old institution, which is now being modernized and brought thoroughly up to the age, lie said that the outlook was very bright and the encouragement he was receiving made him hopeful of the very best results. The Limestone College, un der the name of the Cooper-Lime stone Institute was founded at Gaff ney, S. C., in 1845, by Dr. Thomas Curtis. While it was endowed by Baptist organizations, it is not and has not been denominational or sec tarian. For many years it was an important factor in educational cir cles. But the highest standard was not aimed for; the Institute was more on the plan of a high school and did not give a collegiate education. Bresident Lodge was for fitteen years in the chair of political science at tii-.' Columbian University at Wash ington. 1). C., and resigned this posi tion at the urgent call of the trustees of Limestone, to accept the presi dency of the college. He only con sented to do this with the tacit under standing that the institution was to be brought up to the times and made what its name implies—a college for women. The changes since Bresident Lodge came in are notable and the college is now near the perfection aimed at. University methods pre vail almost exclusively, modelled after Vassurand Welleslev Lectures form a prominent feature and courses are elective. Sevtral new buildings have been erected on the campus and in time there will bo seperatc homes for the various branches taught. A feature that is attracting a great deal of attention is ‘the Winnie Davis School of History. In this the stu dents are encouraged in original re- seareh and study of the unwritten history of the South. A very good libraty was in the college before Bre- sident Lodge took charge, but he found many standard and modern works missing from the shelves and immediately filled in with one thou sand new volumes, thus making the collection one of the best in the State. The college has accommodations for 2UO students and has about 100 on the roll at present. The arrange ments and furnishings of the college buildings are all that could be desired and the standard of excellence attain ed in the work of students compares favorably with that of any womuu’s college in the country. [The above article, copied from tlie News and Courier, while highly appreciated in this part of the State, yet contains one or two errors. The school founded by Dr. Curtis and son in 1845 was called the Limestone Springs Female High School, and its curriculum was us extensive as that of many of the colleges. This school did a great work for the cause of fe male education in the South and nourished until it was broken up by the war. Jt was reorganized as The Cooper-Limestone Institute in 1881, when the property was donated by Beter Cooper, of New York. It is not endowed by Baptists alone, but has received handsome donations from men of different creeds.—Ed. 1 religious j Drug DRUNKENNESS DECREASING The StrugKle lirturt'ii Tenijierunce unit Intemperance. The New York Sun savs editorially : “S'nce undue aichoholic ttimulatioa affects first the judgement, weaken ing it seriously, it is known to be re sponsible for a great many business failures. The really notable finan- cien of Wall Street do not belong to the “cocktail brigade.” clearness of head and soundness of judgment be ing too indispensable to them. Only the “small fry” depend on “whiskey courage.” Drunkenness has become disreputable, or is pitied as the mani festation of u deplorable disease. In all callings in life, from the highest to the lowest, sobriety is more and more at a premium and intemperance is more and morei distrusted. The temperance agitation which has been most effectual, therefore, has been scientific rather than purely moral and religious. For the old-fashioned “temperance pledge” of the days of Gough, the specific medical treat ment of dipsomania us a disease has been substituted, and men are tem perate from intelligent regard for the preservation of their sanity. Wall street is filled with the stock and bonds of vast consolidated in dustrial enterprises which can only be maintained prosperously by the continuance in their management of a succession of peculiar administra tive talents. At this time, therefore, men have found out that they cannot drink to excess if they are to hold their own. Science and invention have opened up and are steadily extending fields of labor wherein the keenest intelligence in the mechanic is requisite, so that ho cannot afford to fuddle his head with drink; he must be a man who cun always be depended on or he will be driven out. Never before was suspicion of intemperance in a work er so fatal to his success as now. Every man who is wise keeps himself constantly in fighting trim for the contest. Drunkenness has gone out of vogue both us a fashionable and us a popu lar amusement. It is a habit in which only those whose health and life are valueless to themselyes and to everybody else can afford to in dulge. Card* uf Thank*. I desire to extend to the many friends who so lovingly and tenderly rendered assistance to Mrs. Webster during her late illness my sincere thanks, and I earnestly trust that they may, each and all of them, be spared many years of usefulneess and freedom from sorrow.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET. They Organize in Oriler to Make their Work Uniform. Pursuant to a request of Superin- tendant McArthur the trustees of the public schools of Cherokee county met in the graded school building ur, Saturday, 7th inst. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. A. D. Davidson. Superintendant Mc Arthur explained that he hud called the trustees together that they might form a Trustee’s Association which would bring them in frequent contact with each other and make their work uniform. On motion of I,. B. Davis Brof McArthur was elected president of the association and Rev. A. J. Hens ley secretary and treasurer. Brof. McArthur addressed the as sociation at some length, embodying letters and notions of State Superin tendent McMahan with his own, of the duties of trustees and how the public schools should be conducted and stated that when Cherokee county wots formed all the school districts were in debt. That now schools were run from four to seven months a year on a cash basis; that all the districts had money on hand and that nineteen new school build ings had been built and others were now being erected; that in some por tions of the county lie found the school houses too close together which required too many teachers for the number of children taught. He said lie had found ladies his best teachers but that men were best governors of schools. He told the trustees that it would be hard for a teacher to please all patrons hence the n< ees-ity of trustees keeping things well in hand so they can properly judge conditions as they arise and imeiiigi ntly exert their authority when rece-sary. The president then askid ter the different parts of his address to he ttiken np and discussed. Genera! discussion followed, in which the time of the day and the time of the year for opening schools were consid ered. It was generally agreed that the next term of the schools should be opened the 15th of July and that everyday’s session must be opened by 8:110 o’clock a. m; that schools should not be run in the month of December and that, as far as possi ble, uniform text books should be used. Messrs. Chaliv and Wilson charac terized the prtsent salary of the county superintendent of education as ridiculous and hoped it would be increased so as to be commensurate with the duties of the office. The president said he would vote for both of them for the legislature but this meeting was to advance the interest of the schools and not tfr t of the county superintendent of edu cation. Rev. A. 1). Davidson insisted on faithful service by teachers. C. B. Huggins was equally exact ing but said their work should be well conducted and that no adverse rellnctions should be cast on it until it be citarly known that he or she has been remiss in the performance of duty. Brof. S. A. Chambers, on behalf of teachers and their work, said they should be encouraged and when right should be upheld by trustees. The time of holding the county sumim r school for teachers was con sidered. and it was decided to suggest June the 20th as a suitable time to begin it. The meeting was then closed with prayer by Brof. S. A. Chambers. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. D. L. BROWN DEAD.
