( ., duly I 7, I DO I. little vim. GonYlt. It. Iletnpblll, editor ol Ab boville Medium, criticises the Solicitor Of tho 8th circuit for appearing in court apparallcd in non-clerical gar ments. The rule of court reads: "The habit of the gontlemon of the Bar shall be black coats, eto." He thinks the rule should bo enforced. We tremblingly express our dissent from this criticism. The rule ought lobe black letter and in a plain republican country should be "more honored in the breach than in the observance." Your cocked hat for tho shorilf, silken gowns for the Judge, velvet robes and royal tinsel for the Legislative olllolals is all well lor royal COUntrios but is ridiculous in a land of Jacksonian simplicity. One of tlii best speeches over made in the Amer ican Congress was by the lion. War ren U, Davis, of this State, in opposi tion to sending Ministers abroad, and in return from imperial monarchies filling our homespun Republican White House with bojowolod, and tinseled milksops ol royalty. Even in the old countries, servants ami llunkies are ap paralled in silvorand gold and in this country it is very properly being im itated. There must he some way of dis tinguishing master and man. The sensible press ol the country is even now laughing at the 'tomfoolery going on in a plain country like England pre paratory to BWOarlng in the new King? all of which came down from Feudal times when our British ancestors were little belter than their oxen. We forbear to say anything of a beg gar on horseback or a 'fifty dollar sad dle on a forty dollar horse." In the meanwhile the Solicitor of the 8th cir cuit is one of the level headed olllolals of the "grand old State." * -ft Wonderful Work of Ail. The "Suoplemont to The State of July the 8th, I WOT" eminat ag from the office of the "State" newspaper. Co lumbia, is a revelation to those even who are familiar with the enterprise of that Journal. It is a wonderful work of Art. A book of the t>i/.e of tho State print, devoted to the indus trial conditions of South Carolina, ('olumbia and her pbcnomnul art and industrial advancement arc given large space and consideration, but Ihe whole stute is covered and scarce a point on the map with "a local habitation and a name" is not regarded. An Immense amount of work has been done and of course at a very great out-lay of money. In the matter of illustrations the "book" is a splendid specimon of "line art." The cotton manufacturing in terest in the state and especially in Columbia, so great a factor in right re cent years in developing the capital city of the state, properly leads all the rest in consideration, but no interest Is passed over. The book Is a mine of In valuable information, ami must remain so for years to come, anil no intelligent Carolinian, no one pretending loan in telligent acquaintance with the re sources and conditions of tho state, can alTord not to have it at his elbow. Tho enterprising publishers have accom pisbed a monumental work and the in telligent public of South Carolina will appreciate its value. It may be bad by writing to The State, Columbia, S. C. * * Two Days Pow*wow? Special to The State. Union, S. C, July 11.?One of the biggest political meetings ever held in this city will be held held hero on the 8th and Olh of August. The meeting will be strictly on National Issues and all the speakers will be those who are seeking national fame ( r position. Eighteen speakers have been asked to be present on that occasion.

Our State Press largely is concern ing itself about the enforcement of the Dispensary law down in Charleston. They argue that because it is enforced in their own bailiwick, it should be rigidly enforced upon their neighbors. This is a curious non scquitur and about as forced a- any possible conclu sion. When put. upon the high ground of doing good fur our neighbor- the proposition reads reasonably. And the same argument will apply to Augusta, Atlanta and Savannah, It is further urged that tlx4 good people of Charles ton are losing vast rev. nue, while it goes to blind tigers. This is a noble stretch of charity, and loving and oar ing for Oltr neighbors, and is not the first or most striking example of this virtue. By a severe stretch of the imagination 'A might be conceived that the good pcoplo of Charleston are judges of what they want. * * ?* A number of our exchanges apolo gize for Columbia and Charleston not enforcing the Dispensary law. In their innoeenie (using a euphemism) they allege extra difficulties surrounding Ihe situation in these cities, but the sug gestion suggests a compliment to the shrewdness of those city tigers. That, or the constables are knaves or fool?. Of a half dozen intricate Labyrinths all bui the Egytlan were ciphered out and from that'by the aid .of Minerva all the prisoners excaped. More knave than fool will probably explain the trouble. **?* ''Waat! Will the lino stretch out to the crack of doom?" Among tho names suggested to succeed Congress man Stokes wo lind; Th08. M.

C ? ltdoes seem that there is a certain sacrednoss about this Bpot of ground. It stands where you ran get a good view of tin surrounding country, and close by, at the foot of the hill Hows the French Broad Rlvor. This conference begun on Juno 21st, and clo-cd 00 tin- evening of Juno the UOth. The Lord was with as from the very beginnlog, ami worked mightily through some of Ills dysoiples. There wore sov< n students to volunteer to g<> to the fereign Holds during the Bession, and many others brought to a fuller realization of their opportunities and responsibilities. Among thy earnest appeals to go to foreign work were those ot Rev. Kobert Is, Spur, Secre tary of the Presbyterian Board of foreign Mis-ions, Mr. J, Campbell White, of Calcutta, India, and Mr. Kugimlyah, a native of Japan. Mr. Spur is iloing a great work among the student- in this country. Mr. White i- a missionary from this country in tlie student department of the Young Men's Christian Association In Cal cutta. This is one of the largest In stitut ions of learning in the world at this place. The calls from these two men wen- urgent, but the opportunity to speak along this line was given Mr. Kugimlyah, who is now at Trinity Col lege, N. C. lie has not been in this country a great while, and could not -peak English very plainly, but in his broken English, he gave the "Mace donian" call as the listener never heard it before He commenced by telling of his conversion. Then thank ed us for our holp in his heathen land. It was the most touel ing speech that many of US 0V01* hi ird. He said "we." not they, "are rea Ij to receive the Gospel. The call an onlj bo more forceful by the Maslcr. Mr. Kugiml yah halted and pointed lo his heart, and had to make a good many attempts to begin, but before he finished there was the most serious calm over the whole audience. No one could put the call plainer thau he did. The words will linger In the minds of many. They were: "I thank you for what you have done, and Cod is calling you to my people." lie is soon to return to his lost people. The platform speakers were: Rev. Ohas. R. Erdmon, of German town, Penn., Mr. J. Campbell White, of Cal cutta. India, Rev. Buckholtz, of Ches ter, S. C, Rev. Kobert E. Spur, of New York, and Itev. Stone, of Baltimore all of whom were speakers of the most intense zeal, and men true to God. The training received by the students, to ba put into practice next year, was of great importance. "God's Methods of Winning Men," was led by a devout personal worker Me. DonO. Shelton, of New York. "The Studies in the Acts and Epistles," by Mr. Richard M ? Hodge, of New York. The work pri mary department by Mr. V. !>. Ed wards, of New York. Then the mis sion study class was led by Mr. If. W. Anderson, of Toronto. Can. There was a great deal gained in these de partments by the students. They go back next year with well outlined methods of teaching Cod's word In the Col logos. Besides these classes there were spe cial hours Lo discuss methods, dlfllctll tn s, and any thing that would advance the work in the colleges. In this way one college could help another. One of the most interesting features of the conference was the "Life Work Meeting." This was held every after noon at 7 o'clock on the top of the mountain over-looking the French Broad River. That was the placo where we seemed nearest to Cod. If a man ever can spend a week wholly with God ho ought to go up thore. No one but the participants can know the benefit to be gotten out of these conferences. There were 12(1 student delegates, and 'Is city association men, secretaries and teachers present. These students represented 65 institutions from 12 states. The student, railroad and city department of the Young Men's Chris tian As-oeiation gave reports of good work in the past year, and bright pros pects for the coining year. No one could keep from making new resolu tions when he heard of the things at tempted, and the things done. The Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions is comparatively new, but since 1888, its real beginning, there have been sent out, by HI boards, 1,700 volunteers. This i- a growing worlc . The watch word is "The Evan gellzatlon of the world in this Genera tion." The subscription raised in the conference for this work amounted to something over *:i00.00. The Southern Students Summer Con ference was a success in every respect to say the least of It. It was a strengthening of life to all and what we might term a beginning of life to many. These are only some hints of tho great work at Ashville. It. E. S. If the sun shines on your porch try one of our Humhoo Porch Blinds, it will more than pay for itself. Onlv *1 10. s. m. A- E, ii.
