Read Itt Thk ?DVBUTI8BR cannot better express its appreciation of the fol lowing able and dignified editorial from the Herald than by giving it all the further circulation in its power: The 11.is KC11 Invitation, i t. . Professor McKirov's philippic regard ing Col. A. C. Haskell's invitation to de liver the annual address before the stu dents of the Lau.ens Male Academy, in June next, will be found in another col umn. While we have thought and still think it was not in good taste and a mis take to invite-Col. Ilaskell here, we did not regard it of sufficient importance, one way or another, to say anything about the matter in these columns, save the bare mention of the fact that he would deliver the annual address. The 1Ikrai.i> was as much opposed to Haskell's Inde pendentism, and it fought him as hard, as any other newspaper in the State; In deed, It was charged that the Herald was too severe in its criticisms regarding him. We did not think so then, nor do we think so now. We were criticising his political course, which we regarded not only undemocratic and highly repre hensible, but worse, if possible, than Rad icalism itself; and we are of the same opinion still, and have neither explana tion nor apology to offer for any utter ance then made regarding his alienation and disloyalty to the Democracy. But while we thus feel towards Col. Ilaskell politically, we do not regard his invita tion to deliver an address here a personal insult to us. We are not, however, the guardian or keeper of other people's feel ings and preferences, and accord to them free and full exercise of their opinions in this matter. And in this connection we will further say that, in our view, if Prof. Evans saw proper to invite Col. Ilaskell to deliver the annual address before his students he had a perfect right to do so, if actuated in the interest of his school, regardless of the preferences of his pat rons ; and any patron had an equal right to withdraw his patronage if he felt aggrieved at the Professor's action in thus inviting a man to address his children to whom he Objected, on political or any other grounds. The expediency of such action in cither case Is another matter. As to the matter of the apparent boy cotting of the HERALD by the Teachers' Association in adopting a resolution of thanks to the editor of another newspa per, (our neighbor,) to. which Professor McElroy refers, we will say, that while fully appreciating Iiis kind expressions towards this newspapers, we did not re gard said action as an intentional slight to us, although it may have had that ap pearance to others and been so interpre ted. The Hkrai.d is so conscious of hav ing always labored In the educational in terests of town and County, that it is not hasty to jump at conclusions. Our young friend who was designated in the resolu tion in question doubtless deserved all that was said of him, and more. Regarding the matter of inviting Ilas kell here to address the students of the Male School, as the question has been revived, ? which we think is untimely and unfortunate?we will say in conclu sion that while we still regard it a mis take on the part of Prof. Evans, we are not disposed to think that he intended it as an insult to any one. Because, if so intended, the insult would be to Ilaskell rather than to the people of this com munity and County, In proposing thus to use him for such an offensive purpose ; and we give Prof. Evans credit for hav ing too high a sense of propriety and dis crimination to descend to such a device. It was, we think, only a mistake on ins part. Knights of Pythias. Laurens Lrodge, No. 13, Knights of Pythias, was organized on Wednesday night by Capt. Edmund Bacon, D. D. G.

There is a certain bracing effect in cold air which Is lost when the weather glows warmer; and when Nature is renewing her youth, her admirers feel dull, slug gish and tired. This condition is owing mainly to the impure con dition of tin; blood, and its failure to supply healthy tissue to the va rious organs of the body. It is re markable how susceptible the sys tem is to the help to be derived from a good medicine at this sea son. Possessing just these purify ing, building up qualities which the body craves, Hood's Snrsapa rilla soon overcomes that tired feeling, restores the appetite, pur ifies the blood, and, in short, im parts vigorous health.
