LAUBEN H, 8, C, May 12th, 1891. Cotton receipts are mightily growing in Charleston, So much for a fair count. Is It free silver or free coinage that is wanted ? Will some adopt in fool's jargon tell us what is meant by a "dog cart country editor"? A drummers' convention met in Augusta last week and they say its a "dry" town now. The Greenville News doubts whether Tillman will swallow the Bub-treasury bill, the Sub-treasury bill, Tillman, or each swallow the other. The dose will in any event sicken no ono more than it will Col. Tatbert. ?'Calhoun county" will have a oentennial arch but whether Cal houn county itself will ever be more than the "baseless fabric of a dream" is a quostion for our un? fathomable legislators. The Greenville News announces that Col. J. A. Hoyt will withdraw in June from the Baptist Courier and perhaps from Journalism. Col. 1 Toy L has put the Courier In the front rank of religious papers and his withdrawal will be much re grettod. Bev, A. J. S. Thomas succeeds Col. Hoyt and there need be no doubt that the Courier will maintain its high standard of ex cellence. The Days of Chivalry Ovor. At Florence, 8. C. (not Italy) a Mr. Gumpert was cowhided by a Mr. Stackley. Two other Stack leys stood by and saw the opera tion. The Stackleys were bound over to the General Sessions. Verily, the days of chivalry are passing into "desuetude." There Is something rotten in the State of South Carolina, or tho pistol cart ridge law of recent date is getting Bi its work. Tho Echo?From Charleston to Mai tic, "An honest ballot and a fair count." See proceedings of Char leston Democratic Convention, May 4th. . Our readers will recall Pat's con sternatioiv when he consulted counsel and was told that tho judge and jurors who were to try him, were honest men and that he would have even handed Justice meted out to him. Tho Significance of Our Arch. Laurens' Centennial Arch is to bo surmounted by the figure of a woman. Her presence there is a prophecy that Laurens is to be of all other places the peculiar haunt of Carolina's girls?that here the State will erect the splendid insti tution lor industrial education de signed to make amends to her women for a century of neglect.. Let every visitor at Columbia from within the borders of Laurens county remember that upon him rests a share of the responsibility to see that the prophecy is fulfilled, and let every stranger yiewing Laurens' emblem, remem ber that it tells what in the near future is destined to be her crown I Just as tho County Teacher's As sociation was about to adjourn its first meeting, the editor of this pa per dropped in to get the points about it and make a report of them. The School Commissioner called on him for some expression as to the Association; and he brief ly responded. The Commissioner then suggested the "thanking res olution" which was passed. This is the first mention of it ever made in this paper. The incident was without special significance of any kind. It was prompted simply by the fact of the editor's presence and, possibly, by allusions to his own oxperience as a teacher. It is safe to say that the Herald and Tjik Advertiser will contin ue to work together for the good of tho common schools. The absence of a divorce law in S. 0. may work Injustice in certain eases but tho grave quostion is whether or not its enactment would tend to involve upon us evils of a moro extensive charac ter. So long as those who have found marriage to be a failure can get rid of thoir inconveniences by a toraporary residence on the other Bide of the Savannah, there can be no reason for South Carolina to tackle the problem at all. Georgia was founded as an asylum for un fortunates. .South Carolina manages to get along without a divorce law, and those of her citizens who are mar ried "aot wisely but too well" have only to make the best of their geo grapical situation, and dead beat their remedies from the Georgia court*. Don't open the gates fo hruud. The 8. C. College Tbo friends of the State Univer sity, did not look forward to the ceremonies of contracting It Into a college with feelings of satisfaction. The Board of Trustees is supposed to contain several members who have about the same love for the institution as the boa constrictor has for Its prey and'that they have generously refrained from squeez ing the life out of It Is cause for lively congratulation. On the whole, those In whose croed affection for the institution is a cardinal doctrine and who have proven themselves tried friends throughout its changing fortunes, have every reason to trust that the work of reorganiza tion will bring about a more sub stantial prosperity than it has en joyed in the past. The removal, by the Legislature, of the technological school to Clemson was a mistake which com ing events will prove; but that par ticular blunder is now out of sight. The refusal of Dr. James Wood row to devote his whole time to teaching perhaps clears the Board of blame la not re-electing him. The fact stands out however, that the institution has lost one of the most accomplished scholars in America, a traction of whose tal ents Is a fortune to any onterprlse with which his name may be con nected. In completeness of intel lectual culture, In strength and breudth of character adjusted in all its parts with perfect nicety, Dr. Woodrow has no peer in South Carolina. Dr. Alexander declared himself a Unitarian and received his dis missal in consequence. Blamo does not attach to the Board of Trustees iu this ease; for they merely reflect a public opinion too often "wise in its own conceit," and the errors committed under the cloak of expediency must always be allowed time to demonstrate their own jus tification. Personally, she editor of this paper greatly regrets that Dr. Alexander was not re-elected. The fascination of an intellect daring as his caunot be forgotten and the purity of his life illustrated by scrupulous care even In his ex pressions pertaining to class room subjects leaves a strong Impress upon every student who has been under his tutorage. The members of the faculty re elected aro without exception men of fine character and splendid at tainments. Governor Tillman, with all his faults, rarely has his vision ob scured by small prejudices. His suggestion of an appropriation to keep the- College Library abreast of the times shows his appreciation of the fact that that historic col lection of literature is a matter of pride to the whole State, by no means confined within the limits of college walls. It is certainly to be desired that the committee appointed will re port a scheme for physical culturo which will meet with the Board's approbation. Physical training ought to be compulsory in schools generally. In all cases and under all circumstances its neglect leads to irreparable harm. Bapid mind development cannot be better ac celerated than by systematic strengthening of the body. It Is hoped that the college has at last ceased to be a political issue and that its name and status has been finally determined. With the indications pointing to u llber ral support from the State, its pros pects never were brighter. Tho Pardoning Power. Under the Constitution the par doning power is lodged with the Executive. The Judge, solicitor aud juries deal with the criminal until sentence is passed. In aM cases of crime, after conviction tho question of clemency arises. The Governor is rarely called upon to pardoii a party set at liberty by tho process of the court and the ver diet of a Jury. Now, while the Governor is con sidering the propriety of interpos ing the quality of mercy it is well enough to consult the judge and the solicitor; It Is well to consider the character of those who ask for clemency for the condemned; and upon all the considerations pre sented the Governor must act. The Constitution has put the re sponsibility upon him and he Ik unfit for tho office who does not come up to its full measure. In the meanwhile the press must be on the qut rive to Inform the public and criticise the acts of officials. Caustic criticism is ft sort of hy gienic ordeal to which public offic ials must submit for the benefit of the public health. Schedule Troubles. There Is a complaint from per sons going North from Laurens that they are compelled to lie over eight or ten hours in Spartanburg and that they suffer tho same In convenience on their return. Of course if the stopping place were any other than Spartanburg the condition of things might be worse, and It is, at all events, bad enough, The Richmond A Danville should reduce the time for Spartan re freshments to some thing like twenty minutes. Mamma (to her little boy). "Now, Bonnie, if you'll be good and go to sleep, mama '11 give you one of Dr. Ayer's nice sugar-coated Cathartic Pills, next time you need medicine." Bennie, smiling sweet ly, dropped off to sleep at once. Highest of all in Leavening Power.? U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. tt>TjQS^? Baking Powder ABSOWTECV PURE Inter-Collegiate Orator.v.

HARRIS, Dear Sir:?My en gagements uro such that I have not time to call the attention of medi cal profession to the cases that might be collected from tho mass that have accumulated during the thirty-eight (38) years of constant use of tho waters of your Lit bin Spring. The waters of the Lithia Spring are odorless and colorless, free from sail nary taste, rather palatable. When taken in a considerable quantity they do not nauseate, purge or produce any feeling of discomfort. I find from an analysis of tho waters they contain clorlde sodium, carbonate potash, carbonate soda, carbonate lithia, carbonate iron nnd sulphate magnesia. Tho waters act directly upon tho mucous centos of tho stomach nnd alimentary canals they are poworfully alterative and tonic. Thoy aro soothing to inflamed or irritated Surfaces. They react upon tho blood, chung ingm it from acid to alkaline. In indigestion, catarrh of stom ach and gastralgia, suppplemcntcd with a proper diet thoy are a cer tain cure. Tho action upon the kidneys is marked. Tho sodium, potash, soda and lithia aro tho best solvents of uric acid, all calculi of an acid character, whether bileary or ciptic aro steadily dissolved, I am confident that tho profession will And it very useful in eases where this class of water Is re quired.

It has been some six weeks since I first used if, and my general health is greatly Im proved. Too much cannot be said in its praise.
