A l.YCKl .’•! FOR OAFFNI.Y. Hteps arc being taken towards securii g a course of lectures with other entertainments for our tov n duiir g thccemingautumn and winter. Leading citizens of the town and the authorities of Limestone College have been in consultation, and it is found that by a combination of the rt- sourcc-s and a hearty co-operation of the intellectual forces of town ami college, a series of entertainments can be secured of the highest type and of the most inspiring character Indeed the best talent in the United : - r- afford to neglect. Surely no business man will begrudge a few dollars to an enterprise which promises to add largelj to the people’s stock of intel ligence, to improve their taste, and to lift them up to u higher plane of thought and action. CARDS OF THANKS. If ever we run for uIUjo and bo de feated, os we most surely shall be, we shall bo ns pleasant and graceful before the public as our disappoint ment and mortifical'on will allow; but we shall not publish in the pa pers any card of thanks to the few patriotic and level-headed voters who supported us. We note that while the papers are full of such cards from defeated can didates, there is not one from any successful candidate.' Is it to be in ferred that only the defeated ones uro capable of cherishing the emo tions of gratitude, or that the suc cessful ones are too full of it for ut terance. Perhaps the most reasonable ex planation is to be found in the pre vailing psychological conditions RPffMiiaWMi let us not complain drought. of heat and Siates can ha ..ju aim a course of • . cvUrt s established which would do honor to any town or city i nd meet the demands of every degree of intelligence.

We are aware that the experience of our ptople With the lyctum Iasi winter was not satisfactory. The reaso i is not hard to find. The mon ey Uny put up was not sullicient to command the highe-t order of tab nt There is always more or less disc-atis faction over cheap goods, though they may have been purchased at a low price, unii though they may prove to be well worth the money invested. The money value of men and women, of thought, knowledge, skill, and in tellectual and moral power, is about as definitely fixed as that of uny material commodity on the market If you want cheap intellectual enter tainments you can get them just as easily us)on can buy cheap goods, and the one will be about as unsatis factory as the other. If you want entertainments to be really valuable, you must pay the price, just as y< u must pay the price of valuable goods, and nine times out of ten the m ximum will hold good in both, that "the best is the cheapest." Gaffney is no longer a little strog- ling village. Its streets are extend ing in every directieui; its great busi ness enterprises are booming; it is verging towards the limits of a rea. cit>,arui its intelligt nt, progressive people demand something better in tho wav of public entertainments than flying jennies and sleight-of- h.ii.d tbows. The conditions demand the advantages that other progressive towns ei joy and those advantages must lie had or our progress will be lop-si led and ncomplete. No town can really iiouiinn on business alone. Ii it * ver becomes a center of intel lectual and moral It rcoe, as every comiderable town is expected to be come, it inuA look well to the intel lectual and moral side of its ow n ex- i»ience. It must become either such a center, or the center of opp s te force which lei d ro demoralization and degtudaiinn. By a iortunat combination of cir cumstances, tin town now has the opportunity of tecunng a course of lectures Iroin in. n oi nati nal reputa tion, such men as Wuttereon, Uniitr- liill and Ktodduid ; while in the line of * us cal eiii* iii inraent-, such com- bina inns as the Boston Hcxtette Club are available; .mu i ll at a cost to the towu of but very little more than was j i id lor tho course lust winter. f We trust that the gentlemen who have the matter in charge will find no difficulty whatever in securing the proper support, both mural uudlinaii- cial, for this enterprise. It is an oi p r,unity which the town cannot of the two classes. When a man is overwhelmed with the shame of de feat and feels forlorn, deserted and discounted by a majority of his fel- iownien, it is perhaps natural that he should turn with peculiarly tender feelings to the steadfast and faithful minority that could not be 'ureA* .— tii*rir devotion by all the arts of his unconscionable opponent; while on tho other hand it may be natural for the man on the high tide of success, to be so profoundly absorbed in the consciousness of hi- *>wn merits, that instead of any emo- i in of gra’itude, he feels like sni p p ng his fingers in tho face of he vhole world. W1 a ever may he the ixplanation t ie.-e cards of thunks are altogeihei :ratuitous and unnecessary, ii not xnihi! ions of doubt ful taste, poor judgment, and worse moruls. They nijii be construed by thoughtful men as an insult to the very class of men whom they are designed to please, fur they take it for granted every voter is moved by no higher consideration than that of personal favoritism. We hope that the time will soon come in politics when both .I deated and successful will realize • hat the best and only rnetho l of per manently plea ing their friends and convincing their enemies is to show by their conduct that they are worthy of the confidence of the one c a.-s and above the reproaches of the oth .r. THAT CIRCCLAK. That circular issued from an un known source just a few days before the .second primary, is one of those things of which it is difficult to speak with patience. It is issued avowedly in the interest of Col. Hoyt, but if it was really written by one of his friends, it is the outcome of the lowest form of fanaticism and folly. If it was written by a friend of Gov. McSveeney, the author is a vile moral t.s?a-Bin and a low pliable dast.irl. There is not a fair-minded man in South Carolina who know* personally Gov. Sweeney and Col Hoyt, who does not know that either one of them would not look with scorn and indignation on the unjust, unmanly and dishonorable methods urged in this circular. The circular ought therefore only to receive the unmitigated contemp , which it deserves, ami to go for not! - ing in the election. Yet so easy it is to excite the passions of men, that it is probable that this vile' emanation from the lowest and foulest depths of moral and political degradation, will corrupt the minds and turn the votes of thousands of honest but unsus pecting voters. This paper will reach only a few of its readers bef-Te they shall have already east their ballots; but we beg those few not to let that circular in- Huence their votes either one way or the other. It will be a proud day in South Carolina pulitics-Mf that day should ever come—when the high, blood-1 oi ght privileges of the ballot box shall he so supported by intelligence and guarded by probity, that no unprincipled demagogu 1 —no kulkir g fat atic will dare to attempt to corrupt them by such means as those adopted in that circular. NOTTS AND COMMENTS. Affairs in China have overshadowed our operations in other parts of the world, and wo might construe from all wc see or hear, that there is a state of profound peace in the Philip pines. Yet we have an army of (55,000 men there, and according to occasional private messages that find their way to this country, the work of butchering the natives goes merri ly on, and that 100 000 men will be needed to bring about a state of thorough pacification. Expansion, civilization, and Christianity come high in the islands of the sea. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is somewhat amusing to note the suspicion with which Russia is regarded by tho great powers of the earth. Russia makes a proposition which on the face appears to be per fectly reasonable and fair. Yet the other powers will look at it askance; will weigh it and measure it, will handle it gingerly, will lay it down and view it at different distances and from different sides,and if at last any one of them should become so un wary as to accept it, she will make haste to recant and fall back into tl e original state of suspicion and dis trust. Every one seems to think that there is some sort of a trap behind that fair face, and that the tri***^ set ^ *•*,.**- tn fly on the slightest touch This precau tion may all be wise enough. Russia is the greatest power on earth; she has vast and far-reaching plans afoot; she is a compact, solid body that moves at the bidding of a single voice and if she should suddenly get on tln- rarnpage the whole world would • retnhle with anxiety and alarm.
