ATTENTION,UNIVERSITY ALUMNI!
The Junior Alumni Association
of the S'alc University, composed
only ot those students wh have
been connected with the institution
►ioce its teorgarix itioo in 1880, Las
set a noble example which it would
be well fur the older and wealthier
alumni of the ante helium
college to emula'e. These young
men, just from I he sheltering walls
of i heir alma inatrr and not, as yet
extensively engaged in lucrative
business pursuits, have resolved to
lay aside every year a portion of
their small earnings, to be devoted
to the education of some worthy
but needy boy. It is their purpose
to award two scho'arsbips of 9150
per year each, which will be open
to every indigent young man iu tie
State. Competiiive examinations
will be held at every county seat
and the two making the highest
mark will be awarded the scholar
ships. The recipients of this mu
nittcence can also obtain a remis
sion of the tuition foe of |10 and
the most needy young man may
thus receive a collegiate education
with no cost to themself.
This laudable move speaks tor
itself. No higher testimonial could
be had ot the noble spirit which
has moved the youug men to take
this action. But may not the old
er alumni render some assistance
iu this matter ! They are far more
numerous and are better able to con
tribute to a luud for the education
of the poor youug man than those
who have just crossed the thresh
hold ot manhood. And now that
the junior alumni have originated
this move, let every alumnus of the
University give what he can, be it
much or little. If all were to come
generously forward the number of
scholarships might be increased to
four or possibly more. We should
respectfully invite the attention of
the older aluinus to the all impor
tant question, for we fe d sure that
a call iu the interest of higher tdu-
ucatiou will u >L bo uubeeded b>
them. Let the ^ood work go on as
advance of monopoly. With its ap
petite whetted by the straggle and
in the flush of victory the trust
wonld work woe upon us should we
be d< feated, for with its ever grow
ing propensity foi evil it wonld very
quicklv make havoc wi'h what is j
led o! our wvuk o;.jk> itiou.
r;:k«‘ Ilita opji'i U:.i y now offer,

has been made iu the straggle for j
a noble canse.

The New Trial for James.
Some of the State papers are cit
ing the case of James, to whom the
Supreme Court recei tly granted a
new tii.d, us idust.utiug the diffi
culty of punishing a well-to-do
white man for the crime ol murder.
This view of the case is founded as
well upon a misconception of its
character as upon (he habit of find
mg fault with tbe administration of
justice. The tiutli is James was
duly convicted. He gets a second
trial simply Ire ause on the first the
presiding Judge, according to the
view of the Supreme Conn, exceed
ed bis ■, uthority by cb..rging th*e
jury on tbe facts There is nothing
ol technicality or hairsplitting iu
tbe ground taken by the court of
last resort in this instance. They
simply carryout the plant maudate
of tbe Constitution. And tbat re
quirement is generally regarded as
both wise and humane. Jaiu.m
must be tried again. It will be well
if tbe papers await tbe final result
of bis case before intimating that
money anu social position may im
pede the coutsu ot justice In South

A WISE SELECTION.
Tbe lion. John Uandolph Tucker,
for many years a member of Con
gress from Virginia, has been elect
ed Professor of Equity and Com
mercial Law and Constitutional
and International Lav at Washing
ton and Lee University, Lexington,
Virginia. Mr. Tucker bas long
stood n tbe front rank of constitu
tional lawyers and his complete
mastery of the most obstruse then*
ries of this branch of the law is so
universally recognized that any
encomiums from us would only be
supufiuous. There U one tact iu
conuectinu with this, however, lb.«t
should afford every true lover ot
the cocsiitution much gratification,
Mr Tucker regards tbat iustrii.
meut as we were wont to do iu the
the days of yore, and disclaims the
imagtuaiy cottons that the free
constructionists or “latter day law.
yers” have stamped upon it. In
moulding the mind of the young
appl.cant for legal knowledge, we
have no fear for the doctrines which
Mr. Tucker’s will disseminate. The
youth ot the country will be the
better for having tbe eousiitu!iona|
theories of law elucidated by this
distinguished Virginia gentleman
“GET TOGETHER ”
A short time since the New* and
Courier published an editoiial upon
tbe subject of the establishmeut of
au oil refinery iu the State as an
aid to the home oil mills in their
fight against the trust. Immediate-
dlately thereupon, Mr. R. E. Hill,
of Abbeville, acting on this sug-
tion offered to contribate 92,000 to
this end, and Darlington, with its
cln'racleristic enterprise, “saw” Mr.
Hill’s offer and went it better by
agreeing to give 92,500 for tbe es
tablishment of the refinery. This
offer was made by (tie Darlington
Mid through its president, Mr. O.
8 McCullough.
Another step iu the right direc
tion! Let ns “get together” and
by means of this step be pressed to
the front! As tbe fight progresses
the formidable s.rengtb of the ene
my grows in proportion and bat one
thing is certain, namely, that we
