There is need of more rain in the north central coun ties, where corn and cotton are be ginning to suffer, but over the res' of the State there is plenty of mois ture for the continued rapid growth of all crops. The rainfall averaged 114 inches, and in places exceeded four inches. There was a general improvement in crop conditions during the week, very slight in the east centra! and north central counties, and on sandy lands generally, but marked in the west central and western ones, and about normal in the Pee Dee sections. The improvement is confined to fields and crops that have been properly cultivated. Laying by made rapid progress, but is much later than usual, with indications that many Mrs. Dr. S. H.

The cool nights checked otherwise rapid growth of cotton somewhat, and caused lice to re-appear i.i places, but generally the crop improved and is in bloom over the whole State, but looks yellow, is small, and is not fruiting well and shedding some on sandy lands. The east central coun ties show least improvement. Many fields will not be in full bloom until about August 1st. Some cotton has been laid by, and most of it has been rid of grass, while much is still grassy and will be laid by in that condition. Sea-island cotton is doing well. Tobacco curing continues, and the crop is about half gathered. Rice is shooting and heading, although about two weeks late. Peas and sweet potatoes doing well. Fruit is variable, but much rotting of peaches is still complained of. The general condition of minor crops is good. Fall truck planting continues. Tuesday. D. L.

Hetivenlaiu Brevltiei*. Beavekdam, July 18.—I have been taking your paper for a long time but have not written anything for it before. Crops are looking very well now, but we are needing rain. 1 am very much pleased with the attacked by Winnie Davis, Goldie’s brother. Both of the Davis boys made their escape. Mr. Ingram was painfully cut about the face and neck Dr. Bettlemyer was called in, who dressed the wounds.” Now, Goldie and Ingram had had several quarrels nrior to tne tiuae In gram was cut. The charges that Golcie was under the intiueoce of liquor and hud previously broken two globes earlier in the night, are abso lutely false. Goldie came to his room about 10 or 11 o’clock to go to bed and found the globe referred to was gone, whereupon he asked Winnie where the globe was. Winnie said he did not know. He then asked lo- gram, who was in bed, where it was. Ingram replied, ’ I have it.” Then Goldie said, "Where is it?” Ingram said, "I have it in my valise.” Gol die said, Let me have it, please.” Ingram answered, "I will not, you d .” Goldie then said, ‘‘Keep it, you d stingy .” Then Ingram jumped out of the bed and started to Goldie with a chair drawn. Goldie then.knock ed him over on the bed with his left hand, opened his knife and cut him Winnie called to the boys, "Let us part them;” but no one would take nold. Ingrain hollowed, then Goldie left the room; and as he was going down the steps. Ingram slipped up behind Goldie and struck at him with a slat. Winnie grabbed the slat and prevented Ingram hitting Goldie in the head; however, it struck him on the shoulder. Then Goldie turned and rin Ingram back into the room and told him if he followed him another step he would kill him. Gol die immediately “left for parts un known.” I have no comments to offer, but ask the public to compare the state ment secured from Ingram and his bed-mate, who was in the room during the quarrel and fight, with that of Goldie and Winnie To the good people of Gaffney we tender our sincere thanks for the kind treatment received at their hands. Very respectfully, F. E. Davik. Mrs. M. J. Danlcy, Treasurer of the Rebo'V'a Ixxlge, I. O. O. F., writes from 124 First street, X., Minneapolis, Minn.: “I was a fit ic ted for sev -ral years with kidney trouble which became quite ser ious and caused me considerable anxiety. / spent hum!reds of collars ttying to be cured, but nothin'.' gave me any permanent relief until i tried Perstna. It took less than three months and only ten bottles to effect a permanent cure, but they were worth more than as many hundred dollars to me.

To Whom It May Concern: This will certify that I have known letters of the different correspondents, Goldie and Winnie Davis for more and more especially the article on Holiness religion. The writer speaks of the Holy Bible and sanctifi cation. 1 am one of the old time Baptists. I belong to that church which was builded on Peter, and I have one of those Bibles. That word “Holy” written on the back of that book does not apply to that sect of Christians, but it applies to the Word of God. I want to tell my friend why I am a Baptist I never saw any other kind of Bible I may make mistakes, as I am getting old. I do not bold with the cruel treatment that he re ceived in Gaffney. The Holiness peo ple have been here a long time; I see in the Bible where Jesus was talk ing with them while He was here on earth. "He that is faithful to con fess his sins, him will I be also faithful to forgive his sins. But ye say ye have no sin; therefore ye have the greater condemnation.” That must have been the Holiness people. The Bible j. The Bible says in Rom. 8:10, "If Jno.

The College was chartered in 1801 and opened for active work in January, 1805. It owes Its < xistenee to a patriotic purpose, the education of all the youth of the State at a common center, “in order to promote the in struction, the good order and the har mony of the whole community,” and it was built from a portion of the pro ceeds of a reimbursement made by the United Fi.ttcs to South Carolina for ex penses in- arred in the Devolution. Dar ing the century that is closing the Col lege has contributed largely to the statesmanship, the patriotism, the learning and the high moral standards that have prevailed in South Carolina and her sister Stales. The roll of Col lege Alumni contains the names of men who have become n<#ed in all the pur suits of life, both in peace and war. The exigencies of the struggle between the .Stabs closed the college in 1863, and the buildings were used as hospi tals for sick and wounded Confederates. But as soon as peace was restored the institution was reopened by the “Orr government” and enjoyed several years of success until it was overturned dur ing the Radical regime. Since 1880, how ever, the college has been continuously open, and has educated hundreds of your-? men and a number of young women, who for some years have been permitted to partake of its advantage s. Oil jinafly the College was known as a literal y institution, although from f’a.rlj times its faculty contained scien tists of great ability, but of late years its c rimes have broadened out so as to embrace also technical scientific in- stru< tion, instruction in law and a course in practical methods for teach ers. President Benjamin Sioan, the head of the Department of Physics and En- dnt (ring, is a graduate of West Point, iml was a distinguished officer of ord nance during the war between the States. His graduates in engineering ire now occupying most responsible positions in different uni ts of the United s. Professor Joseph Daniel Pope, ■ lean i ^ the Law Department, has had .ripe experience in government in the i>.gis ative halls of the State and in the >'c( c: sion Convention, and is recognized -s high authority in law and in equity jurisprudence.

This 10 intended to offer the advantages of pro- icsslunai training to one who has aL- i*- ' ly - :ibored practical experience tm dirt f t contact with pupils in the schoot room and realizes the difficulties that uusi lit- surmounted.
