GAFFNEY DISCOUNTED. For some time past various cor respondents have been airing their sentiments in the South Carolina Baptist in regard to the Greenville and the Limestone College. Some ardent friends of the latter have gone so far as to recommend that the Greenville Female College withdraw from the educational field in favor of Limestone, which has so aroused the resentment of some of the friends of Greenville that they in turn have been induced to say some very im prudent and unjustifiable things about Limestone. This paper has refrained from noticing these discussions because we felt sure that it was not the policy of Limestone College knowingly to in jure in the slightest degree, or to throw even a straw in the way of any of her sister institutions, and we were afraid that whatever this paper might say would be construed by some as dictated or suggested by the college. We wish to say now once for all, that this paper is not run in the interest of Limestone College further than the interests of Lime stone are those of the cause of educa tion and are identical with the in terests of Gaffney and of Cherokee county. With this statement, we give be low an extract or two from a remark able letter published last week in the Carolina Baptist, from Wilkinsville, over the signature of “Justice.” The writer claims great advantages for the Greenville Female College over Limestone College on the ground that Greenville is so much superior to Gaffney in social refinement and intellectual culture, and goes on with a good deal of twaddle about college education and social advantages, all of which no doubt was conned by rote from others as ignorant of true college work and true social refine ment us this writer seems to be. We have not the patience to attempt to run down the fantastic vagaries which by a fiction of the imagination may be supposed to belong to the province of what this writer would probably call his mind, nor have we a word to say in derogation of the intelligence and refinement of Green ville. We have this to say, however, in passing, for Limestone College: Un der the different names it has borne throughout its history,it has sent out a greater number of highly educated and truly refined women than any other three female colleges in South Carolina, and the greater part of this work was done between 1845 and 1801, long before the town of Gaffney was thought of, when Greenville was a little struggling village and Lime stone was twenty-one miles from any place that called itself a town. These women were the dominant factors in shaping and moulding the highest and purest type of civilization that the world has ever seen—a civili zation that bred as knightly and kingly a race of men as ever adorned the .ancals of peace or war. It would be interesting to know the workings of “Justice’s” thoughts, always supposing that ho has any, over the facts here stated. But as we have no means of penetrating the nebulous regions of his intellect we must be content with the subjoined evolutions: Let us while passing, glanco for a moment at the two cities-Gaffney and Greenville, and note the comparison. And I would say by way of parenthesis, that I speak from persona: observation and Immediate knowl edge, having visited in each place at differ ent times and become acquainted with the society of each. The people of Gaffney are a good people, to be sure, hut its iHiing a ••mill .town,” It fol lows that there is little education in the place, little culture and roUncmont, and none of that soe'ety which will mould the char acters of our daughters and sisters, and develop that greatest gift to man, “a woman perfected.” The men in Gaffney who have ever at tended college can be numbered by one man’s lingers, and the graduates are not half so many; professional men, graduates from professional colleges, excepted. And Gaffney is a “mill town” and it ft Hows there ia little education, lit tle culture (we wonder what dis tinction is made between education and culture) and refinement and none of that society which will mould Ac. Well really, Gaffney is In a bad fix. We have been thinking that Gaffney is a county town, just as Hpartan- burg and Greenville are. It la true we have a cotton mill of which we are all proud, and another one in process of construction. We have heard that Greenville, with a little more than twice our native popula tion, has from four to six times our number of cotton mills. We hardly see how, under these circumstances, “Justice” can taunt us with being a “mill town” and extol Greenville as being headquarters for culture and refinement. Again, for the past twenty years Gaffney has been considered some what an educational center. It had more schools and better ones, it was thought, than any other town of equal size in the state. Thousands of young men and women have gone out from these schools thinking they were pretty well educated, ^et it suddenly develops that there is no education, no culture here. We de clare Gaffney had better go back and try it again. Then here is another startling reve lation : There is, comparatively speaking, no so ciety In Gaffney; then where is the Lime stone student to look for that elevating in fluence of association with older, wiser and experienced minds? To her spacious grounds and well equipped buildings? beautiful lawns and crystal springs? We begin to believe that the writer of this communication is a graduate of the Greenville College, and we must change the gender of our pro noun, and take off our hat and humbly apologize for our obtuseness in not recognizing the fact sooner and being more guarded and respect ful in our language. However, we have gone too far to retreat, and if the conviction which has suddenly seized upon ue he correct, we beg to ask our fair critic a question or two, for information—nothing more. When you were in college, did you have free access to Greenville's re fined society, or were your associa tions limited mostly to students and teachers? We have the impression that the Greenville college, like most other colleges, puts some restraints on the associations of its students with the general public, or in other words, that it debars them to a great extent from going into what is called society until after they shall have left school. If we are correct in this impression, how is it that a student in that college acquires fully one-half of her education, as you strongly in timate, from Greenville society? Is there a secret process of endosmose that permeates the college barriers and silently refines and elevates the body of students behind them? You say there is no society in Gaff ney. Will you kindly inform us what is society? We suppose from your assertion that the number of college graduates in Gaffney outside of the professions can be counted on a few lingers, that you take society to be a collection of college graduates. Now we Happen to be pretty well ac quainted in Greenville, and we ara confident that it would not require a great many fingers to number the college graduates outside of the pro fessions In Greenville. The truth is, this number in proportion to the en tire population, is everywhere ex ceedingly small. Hence we igno rant and unrefined Gaffney people are much concerned and greatly con- used about this “Society,” which it seems, is not among our attainments or possessions, fessions. Again, we should like to know if the exquisite taste and refinement displayed in this whole letter in the Carolina Baptist—the delicate regard for the feelings and welfare of others, a characteristic of the highest type of politeness—we should like to know if these superb intellectual and moral accomplishments were acquired from college training or from Greenville society. Until we are favored with such knowledge, we are utterly una- able to put a proper estimate on the social advantages of a college. Our advice to the people of Gaffney is to keep cool and never give way to despair. You are not entirely be yond the reach of refining influences, for Wilkinsville is only twelve miles off, and you are connected with it by telephone. Working Night and Day.

CHINA COMPARED WITH JAPAN, Western Learning in Vogue Among the Japs. NOT SO WITH CHINESE. She Huh Refuged All Advance* from Other Nation* and Adopted a* Her Watchword, ‘•Down With the FortdKU Devil*.” The Einpre** Dowager Stopped the Reform Movement. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Fukuoka, Japan, Aug. 27.—The Chinese situation is puzzling the world. It certainly is a curious situation all round. I think it will be shown without doubt that the Chinese government was entirely re sponsible for the rising against foreigners. Let us glance back and make a little historic comparison between China and Japan. In 1840 the Japanese were still in heathen exclusiveness The Mikado, or Emperor, was a prisoner, while the real power was in the hands of the ehogan, or military feudal lord, who was at the head of a feudal system previous to 1871. The story is told that when several of the foreign fUets bombarded Hhimoiioseki in 1803 some of the nations didn’t believe in the power of the foreign shells till these shells began to knock them over. Then they said, “The foreign ers hit, and when they hit it hurts.” Whatever the causes were the Japanese abolished feudalism in 1870. and began a systematic adoption of western learning and improvements— such as steam cars and ships, tele graph, schools, mail system, con stitutional government etc. Today I can walk out two hundred yards from our residence here in the an cient city of Fukuoka and see one of these old feudal castles with stone wall and moat. Inside this castle are barracks for soldiers dressed in most modern style, cap and boot, with the finest modern guns. Up on a main street I look througn a window into a large build ing and see the printing press as work. The daily paper with latest telegrams from all over the world it laid at your door every morning. A boy from the telegraph office speeds along the street with his mes sage on a bicycle. Beautiful roads lead out in every direction and railway cars come and go every two or three hours. You see hardly a beggar anywhere, but a happy and contented popula tion. The finest and largest buildings in the city are the public school buildings. Japan has caught the true na tional life, and now at this writing her armies are doing valiant service side by side with other great nations in China. But how about China? She has had a longer opportunity than Japan. Foreign nations have given her every chance, but she haughtily threw aside every advance. She wanted China ail to herself, and besides, wanted to fill every t corner of the earth with the surplus of her population. Thu world is not big enough for that kind of a policy. In 1898 the em peror of China, Kwang Hsu, with his pro-foreign advisers made a move towards reforn. A decree was sent out ordering that western learning be taught in the schools and temples. The people as a whole were getting ready willingly to obey, and it was a popular movement. Many oi the useless officers were put aside, and a new regime was about to be started. That aroused the old otfi iais, and Li Hung Chang (the man who has done so much to fool the foreigner), with other conservative officials, ap proached the Empress Djwager to have the reform movement slopped. One day she invited the Emperor to visit her, and when he went, she caught him in a trap of soldiers, imprisoned him, and then forced him to issue decrees directly opposite to those he had previously given out. That stopped the whole of reform, and started everything towards the anti-foreign movement. When the Boxers arose in (Shantung they took as this watchword, “Down with the foreign devils,” which was the Same as that of the Empress Dowager. (She thwarted every effort to put down the Boxers, snubbed the foreigners, sent out lying edicts for the benefit of the foreign goverments and did her best to kill their representatives in Peking. They were saved only by their own pluck. The misery and suffering caused by this move of the Empress has been horrible-natives, and foreigners suffering alike. About sixyt missionaries were killed iu Hhensi. Borne made their escape. On their way out a party of ladies and men were traveling fifty-five days, many days without food, strip pec’ of all garments except one, beaten and cursed, and several of the ladies died. Two ladies had their heads put on a block at another place to be cut off, but the fiends changed their minds and they escaped. A lady whom we knew in Cbiukiang had all her condensed milk stolen upon which she relied to feed her little baby. Bhe managed to get different Chinese women to nurse her baby. One Catholic bishop escaped in a cof fin. Two things have been note worthy all through these terrible times—the bravery and coolness of the ladies, and the faithfulness of the Chinese Christians. If China will not willingly come out of her exclusiveness, she must be forced to do so for the peace of the world, and the good of mankind. Poor old China 1 Her streets and highways are lined with beggers, whose cry is like the cry of a lost soul. Her people are poor, ignorant, and many of them degraded; hopeless despair hangs like the fall of night over that sunny land. The only hope of China lies in moral renova tion,and that can only come through the Gospel, not guns. We want an army of missionaries, not soldies. W. E. Crocker. LIMESTONE COLLEGE, £5. O.

Gaiulug Season Soon Her*. [Spartanburg Herald.] Spartanburg sportsmen are looking up their trusty guns and accourtre- ments and preparing for some fine b'.oting when the season opens on November 1. The past summer having been such an unusually dry one it is only reasonable to anticipate that the woods and hillsides will be flocked with quail and doves, as a dry season tends to increase the number of these varities of game. The new game law, which pro hibits the ssle of partridges, etc., will plsy havoc with the “pot hooters.” Any person offering partridges for sale will be liable to a fine and im prisonment. The new law will be in force for five years, and it is intended to put a stop to the wholesale slaughter of birds by people who slay them for the market. The pot hunters have weeded out the coveys to a great ex tent, and the law will have the ef fect of checking the indiscriminate slaughter and sale of birds. Congratulatt** Dr. Lodge.
