OPENING OF LIMESTONE COLLEGE. The formal opening of Limestone College on yesterday was attended by a considerable number of the town people, and all came away inspired with enthusiasim by what they had seen and heard. The seemingly almost interminable line of pretty girls 4 h filed into the new audito rium was indeed an inspiring sight and one that ushers in a new era for the college. After the sin, ing of “All Hail the Power of Jesus '’ame,” under the leadership of Proi. Brown, director of music. Dr. Leftwich, the di-din guished evangelist, read a portion of scripture and oifi-red up a fervent prayer. State Sei ator li. C. Surratt, then made a capital address, which was followded by short addresses from J>r. VV. II T nnurman, State treasurer Col. J. G. Wardlaw, Jbv. Messrs. Bozeman, Robertson and Hodges. Col. Wardlaw in a happy and grace ful manner welcom< d the young ladies on behalf oftht town and all the rest spoke words of sympathy and encouragement. Prof. Brown and Miss Steedly performed a splendid duet, and Mr? Brown, the teacher of vocal music, rendered “The Holy City” in a most charming and inspiring manner. Altogether the occasion was one of the most in teresting that luis been witnessed at Limestone in many a day. Every room in the dormitory is taken and the college will begin work on Monday with one hundred board ing pupils. The Trustees have already deter mined to enlarge the dormitory ac commodations, so that at least twenty-live more boarders can be ad mitted within the next few weeks. Dr. Lodge and his faculty are work ing day and night to bring order out of chaos, and by the middle of next week recitations, lectures, and study hours will be following each other in regular succession. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Our manager is attending the meet- in'' of the Press Association at Harris O Springs this week, and our editorial department is demoralized by the opening of Limestone College. Our readers must bear with us. We shall soon be in a straight line again. Oermany takes a firm stand in re gard to affairs in China and demands that the ringleaders of the Chinese outrages shall bo punished as an in- dispensible preliminary to any peace negotiations. Our government has been doing a good deal of vacillating and seems to have no well defined policy. It is probable, however, that all of the powers will agree with Germany and that the work of whole sale executions will soon begin. The causes which led to the Hick Hill tragedy have not yet he*n divulged except in outline. The two Brattons are hi jail and prud-ntlv refuse to talk for th*i public. It is understood in a general way that Brown and John Bratton's *\ife had been too intimate, and that the Brat tons killed him to avenge the blight of John Bratton’s domestic life. The killing was cold-blooded murder but the sentiment in South Caro lina is such that no jury will convict a man for slaying tho inva der of his marital kingdom. And wo do not know but that public senti ment is consistent, if not right. By persistently refusing to enac' a di vorce law, the State proclaims the sacredness of the marriage relation and declares that no law-making power has any right to annul it, and the inference is easy tha! tho indi vidual who would corrupt it and virtually aboliih it, does so at the forfeit of ids life. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ W’e do not believe that the State ought to engage in the agricultural business any more than it ought to engage in the whisky business. Either one is socialistic in its ten dency, yetv there is fur more excuse for the State farms than for the dis pensary. Convicts ought to he em ployed urid’uiucle to pay the expense of keeping them, and we believe that in all the States the penetentiarles hav been made self sustaining and many of them have been made a source of considerable revenue. The plan has generally been for the pen- etentiaries to engage in extensive manufactures, and penetentiary goods have been thrown upon the markets in competition with the products of free and hones labor. The general awakening at last to the importance of good roads suggest ample employ ment for penetentiary convicts, which would avoid all competition with free labor. Our State farms ought to be sold, and t he whole penetoniliary force put on the roads. This question wdl, no doubt, come up in the next legis- la’ureand members elect should be thinking about it. It is true that in that case the penetentiary will have to bo supported by taxation, but the people will bear taxation for such a purpose better than they will bear this ever-increasing encroachment upon the provinces of free labor. 31 r. Isom to His ITrlcmltt* (Correspondence of The ledger.) Campobkllo, S. C., Sept. 17ih, H)00. —Mr. Editor: Will you please allow me space in your columns to let my friends know as to my where abouts After a long hard siege of work amongst the churches, during August and up to September 10th my circuit gave me an indefinate vacation, which I (Mrs. Isom with me) am spending at the Oak Knob hotel and spring, for the benefit of Mrs. Isom’s health, which I trust will be fully restored. This health-giving spring is located one mile from Oampobello, S. C , and nine miles from the Blue Ridge. Rev. I. W. Wingo, the proprietor, is a man of many qualifications for busi- nes-, and a Christian gentleman and minister of the gospel. .Mrs. Isom’s health is unchanged at this writing, excepting local changes. Allow me, please, to exhort my meinln rs and friends at Mesopotamia to give special attention to her spiritual needs and that the officials get ready to meet the fourth quarter ly conferenco, which meets at Foster's Chapel the latter part of October.

Columbia, Sept. 18.—Tho first part of tho week ending 8 a. m. Septem ber 17th, was extremely hot with maximum temperatures of 100 at three points. The latter part was cooler, but the heat continues abnor mally high. The lowest temperature was (12 at Greenville. Tho drought was broken by general rains beginning on the 13th and con tinuing to the IGth, with amounts ranging from a half to over three inches. The rainfall has put the soil into excellent condition for plow ing, and for sowing oats a id turnips, and was beneficial to minor crops, but came too late to benefit corn and cotton. It replenished creeks and streams where cuttle watered, the supply of stock water having been very scarce at places. There is no improvement to be noted in lute corn, which in many places failed to ear; the corn crop as a whole is estimated at less than half an average yield. Some farmers are gathering and housing their corn. Cotton continues to open rapidly, and nearly all is now open, hut the rams will tend to check premature opening, and to increase the size of immature bolls. In places the plants are again blooming, and some report a small top crop, but generally the top crop is unpromising. The weather favored rapid picking, and about half the crop is gat in red. I he rains damaged open cotton slightly. Correspondents estimate the yield this year at about half an average crop. Sea-isiand shows slight im provement, but is blooming to the top and the plants are dwarlYd. Feus, sweet potatoes, full gardens, and late rice, which were very poor, have begun to improve. Rice har vest is progressing and in places is nearly finished, except for June plantings which will ripen in October. B- ar.s, cabbages, white potatoes and other truck are being planted on tho coast truck farms under favorable conditions. The hay and other forage crops will be short and are incapobie of being much improved. Some outs have been sown. THE MASTER’S CAUSE. A SerleH of Mei-ting* ll.»!il l»v Mr. Felmet liuciiiK tho Summer. (Correspondence of The Ledger.! Dkaytonville, Sept. 18.—The Rev. E. C. Felmet, assisted by Rev. Wil liam \\ bite, of Cowpens, began a protracted meeting at New Pleasant church on July 23rd. The meeting continued until Aug. 3rd, with great interest all through it, elevating the Christians with more grace and con verting sinners. The community was greatly built up with spiritual grace, and especially the church to which eighteen were added during the meeting, making a total of thirty- two for the year. From New Pleasant Mr. Felmet went to Gilead, near Jonesville, and began a meeting there on Aug. 5th, which proved to be a very interesting one. The church was brightened up with new zeal for the Muster’s cause, and three converts were added to it by baptism. The people around Gilead are contemplating tuilding a new house to worship in at as early a day us possible. Brown’s Chapel, mar Pacolet Mills, was tiie next point, and the meeting there continued through one week. I here were good congregations at every service, but no admissions to the church. We do not know the cause, but tlure seemed lobe very little interest manifested in the meetings. B iieving it was not necc-sary to continue tin re longer Mr. Felmet (hen came to Draytonville and began a meeting on Sunday right, Aug 2d h., which continued up to Sept, I 9*h.

Mordecai & Ga lsdsen. and the Pacolet Manufac turing Company will now take steps towards building a branch cotton mill at Gainesville, Ga. .Sometime ago it will be remember ed the i’jeoiet Manufacturing Com pany decided to invest its surplus earning in a cotton rr.;ll near Gaines ville Ga., but Mr. Pelzer and several otlvr stockholders protested and commenced proceedings against the company from carrying out its plan, claiming that a company chartered under the laws of this State did not have a right to engage in business in another State. The question was argued before Judge Aldrich at Greenwood some time ago, and he de cided in tavor of the Pacolet com pany. The plaintiffs gave notice of appeal, but a few days ago decided not to fight the case and withdrew the appeal. Thu Exhibition a Succens.
