The Ledger last Friday announced , the alarming change in the presi- I dent’s condition hours hefere any daily in the State was able to do ii, except by extras. Yet somfl people think that a semi-weekly newspaper can’t get and print the latest news - ^ u . Spartanburg Is to have another carnival this fall. This is all ritrht if she wants it and is billing to put Up the money to get it. Me doubt, however, if the city will be benefited by it either morally, socially, or financially. Our recollection is that Anderson and Greenville both tried carnivals a year ago pentance of the dying hour was heart felt and sincere, and was acceptable to Him who looks upon the heart and judges not as man judges. Possibly, also, his dying exportation may reach the ears and hearts of many whose lives are not yet completely blighted and cause them to break away from the demon which is slowly tightening his clutches upon them and turn ; iheir backs forever upon the accursed i habit that is shedding death-shade and mildew over the land. % If so, then poor Thompson did not live and die in vain. THE B. R. ASSOCIATION. It Once lleloiixed to the-Dark Corner" of The State. The following from a recent issue of the Carolina Spartan may be inter esting to some of our readers. I 1 and were I was written by one of the old settlers CLUB WOMEN. A Pertinent Article of Advice to them on Village Improvement. The Woman's Journal, of Boston, Mass., comments upon a recent ar ticle published in “The Keystone.” the offHal organ for the South Car olina federation, saying, “Mrs.[Morris M. Freeman, of Blacksburg, H. C., chairman of the Village Improve ment. Horticulture and Forestry de partment of the South Carolina Fed eration, advises club women to be gin the work of improvement by care fully looking after the conditions of their own homes.” The article is so pertinent we gladly publish it for the good it may do club women, and other women al so, as it shows them at a glance how each home helps, or mars, the ap pearance of a town It is as follows: “Village improvement?

Condition of Carolina Cro|« a* Reported by the Itureau. The week ending 8 a m., Monday September 10th, averaged nearly five degrees per day warmer than usual, I and had u maximum temperature of ! 90 at Blackville on the 13th, and a minimum ofTill at Greenville on the 9ih. There was more than the usual | amount of bright sunshine, and only in the extreme western portions did cloudliness prevail to any consider able extent. The winds were gener ally southwesterly, ar d dried the sur face of the soil to quite a depth. Well distributed showers occurred in heex’rerne western and north western counties on the 13th, and light, very scattered showers in the south central counties, but there was un entire absence of rain over the greater portion of the State until the evening of the 15th. when showers occurred over the southern counties. ! The dry weather was favorable for haying, harvesting rice, and for pick ing cotton, but was injurious on turn- ! ips, young cotton, fall truck, and gardens and all other growing crops. Cottou opALed fast, (-xcept along | the northern border counties, and some ooened prematurely owing to i rust that has increased rapidly. The hot weal h^r induced shedding, and i stopped growth of young cotton. The crop is reported in a less favorable condition than it was a few* weeks ago, '.nd is not as heavily fruited as j it promised to he. Boll worms have ! appeared in many sections and have caused much injury. Sea island cot ton improved during the week. Pick ing has made fair progress, although little has as yet been ginned.

Now, not all business enterprises make money. There are period^ even in the most successful per manent enterprises when they lose money and sometimes heavily. One of the most successful cotton mills in this State has lost during six months of this year a matter of $23,- 000 There are many others, no doubt, that have lost much more. Yrt wages have not been reduced and operatives have been regularly paid as if the mills were making big prof its. If labor insists on having its full share of profits then capital must insist that it bear a like share of the losses. This is fairness and simple justice. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The spirit of education was never higher among our people than »> present, and as the time for the open ing of the schools and colleges draws near the indications for a fine attend ance become more evident. Li mm stone College is opening this week and a large crowd of bright, pretty, enthusiastic girls are now at the College, and, as we go to press, others are arriving on every train. The bulk of the arrivals will take place to-day and tomorrow, and the President and teachers are now I busy organizing and putting the i school machinery in motion.

But a wonderful change nas come over the country. The churches of trie Association are on up grade. They are demanding bet ter preachers than they had infor mer days. They are building com fortable houses of worship. At old 'lacedona Dr. Bomar in a few plain, earnest words presented the mission- irv interests to the Association. There were no set soeeches. no clap trap ooll o ctions. The delegates and people seemed moved by the spirit of the Divine Master and they contribut ed about $700 to the .Missionary fund. Even the secretary was surprised at g-tting more than he asked for.
