Complaints had been received l?y the uuthoiilicH nod on Thursday after noon seven incmbers of tho board of healtl; went out to the pen and "looked ii over". Ah i in- majority of people know, the ' slaughter pen, where practically :? 11 the butchering of the city is done, is located neu the city limits, not for from the furniture factory, in the vi cinity of Little river. They also know thai the clly is supplied with water from this river; the cistern at the liver is Idled, the water filtered, (of its nith) and pumped to the stand pipe. Cm the people did not know that just three hundred yards up the stream was (he slaughter pen, and thai the draining is superb, Nol the least chance is there for any of the tilth from this pen to escape; it is built upon a little knoll which from one side slopes directly into Little river; on the other, is a dry branch which bends around ami conies into the liver just a little lower down.

Ill speaking of the condition in which they found it. one of the members said: "You couldn't exaggerate it; it's awful". It is not necessary to relate hero all that was found; suf fice it to say that with the remains of slaughtered cattle usually left nl such places, the pig pens of mire und tilth, ami the countless buzzards that were about the place, the hoard of health were amply convinced that the existence of this place was a constant menace to the health of the Commu nity. The board made the following re commendations to the city (tOUI)Cll ill special session on Friday morning!

Cnl lunin has ceased publicnlion hecnuso Mr. Cnlhoun. who expected to operate the paper as an ii vocation, with I ho practice of the law as his vocation, finds th<> double duty loo laborious ami worrying, In the last issue of his paper Mr. Cnlhoun makes a contribution to cur rent history that, coming from him, has more than ordinary interest. Wo refer to tin' references to Mr. Cloin ?oll, in Hie following editorial: Many questions have been made about the muddle at (Menu.on College. We do not propose to offer any solu tion, nor to condemn any one. it does not make any difference as to who is right, as the eollege has its hand deep in the pockets of the slate ami pulls as much money as. it wants, ami more than it ought to have. Clemsoil took his wile's money ami property that belonged to his grand daughter ami gave it to the state, not to advance education, not for his love of mankind, but simply to gratify bis vanity and private spite. He de spised his fellow-beings ami was with out religion. He told us several years before his death that there was no room for an honest man in South Carolina. "Why," he exclaimed, "if there was ever such a man as Christ, and if he would come to South Caro lina he COIlId Hot he elected to (lie ofllce of a constable." We limit in relating the above the number of oaths stuck in at every point. A college founded by such a man with other people's money through vanity and spite, can not ex pool to , get on smoothly. Clemson's sole aim ill giving his wile's mono) to South Carolina was to keep the Culhouu family from owning Fori Hill, and he : said so wit!, many oaths: ami to make his spite complete, he stuck his own name to the college, not one dollar of (he money nor one acre of the laud be gave the state being rightfully or morally his own. lint tin most astonishing part of this business is that the college should have been named alter this I'enilsyl vauian ami misanthrope, who Mr, Calhoun says was a blasphemer and an atheist, and that while his money or other peoplo's money which he gave away, according to Mr. Culhouu does not furnish live per centum of the Income of the college, the control forever remains in the Kclf-pcrpclti ating agents of Mr. Clemsou.
