The Injury Done Hhe South Carolina College by the Present Admin istration. To the Editor of The State. .Among the reforms which Gov ernor Tillman in his Columbia speech boasted of having effect ed, was that of having "remod elled this college here, dismiss- ed those twenty-seven profes sors who had no students.” Before Tillman took the col lege in hand to‘‘reform” it there was a teaching force of about twenty-seven ; of which, howev er, five or six were only subor dinate teachers. The number of students at that time was something over 200. That is, there were about eight students to one teacher The Reformer is shocked at this proportion of students to professors, and pro ceeds to improve matters by cut ting down the teaching force to about one-half. (There are nwo ten full professors and three as sistant professors—thirteen in all.) But what of the number of students ? The last session closed, 1 am credibly informed, with about sixty students in at tendance. The entire number registered for the session will hardly exceed 100. That is we still have about seven or eight students to one professor, and we have accomplished a groat reform ! But if it was a glor ious reform to dismiss twenty- seven professors for having only 200 students, would it not be an equally glorious one to dismiss thirteen professors for having only 100 students ? And would it not be the creme of Tillmantic reform to have only one professor andeight students; or, rather, to wipe the college out of existence altogether ? What has become of the 100 student that disappeared from the college immediately on Till man’s “remodelling” and "re forming” it? They have not been diverted to Clemson Col lege, as Tillman and his crew doubtless hoped they would be, for that college is doing no teaching. Where are they? They have gone where they can get what their own State col lege would not give them. This is deforming, not reforming, the college. Observer. —i »•* EXAMPLES TO BE HEEDED. How the Conservatives are "Up and Doing" in Newberry and Laurens. [Greenville News.] If any two counties in the State were thought to be utterly hopeless for the conservatives. Laurens and Newberry were. Yet a few brave and determined men in those counties have gone to work, and they have done wonders, making good fighting ground where all ap peared to be one way. There is not a county in this State which can not be carried for Sheppard and Orr. When men sit down and say there is no use trying they simply let themselves be frightened from doing their duty to their State and party by a little noise and claiming by the other side or make excuse for indolence of which any man should be ashamed. We can win this fight. We can put an end to all the trouble now upon us or threatening We can avoid another two years of turmoil, confusion, doubt and loss, of dangerous experiments, rash and headlong mismanage ment and tyianny. To secure that result we must work for it as we do for any other blessing Let conservatives everywhere begin to move. The time is short and every man should be at work. Even when there are only two or three of them in a neighborhood they should get together and see what they can do. They will often be aston ished by the strength they will develop. Let all hands everywhere turn to as the Laurens and Newberry men and those in some other counties have done and we will sweep the State with a rush. C onsumption Cured.

Woods £ Milling ( SUGAR COATED) 4 Haydock’s New Liver Pills. A wondarful and extraordinary combination of cuncen* trated medicine. Tlu< Victories of Science—Klectrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing—revolutionized the whole gystem of the globe, and made mankind wiser and better. So, although there are coantless Pills used for disease, and claiming much as to their merit, the re. markable discovery of l>r. Heyduck has eclipsed them all, and has founded a NEW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whoso vast doses of four or five pills, en. feeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two ot his extraor linary Vegetable Pills. One or two ot DR. HAYDOOK'8 NEW LI VKR PILUS suffices to plsce the stomach in perfect order, creates an appe tite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its functions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and bus- tained. SYMPTOMS OF MLIOISXESS. L The patient complains of n f ullness of the stemaoh. 2. Distension of the bowels by wind. &. Heartburn. 4. A feeling of weariness, sleepiness after meals. 5. A bad taste in the mouth, and furred tongue. 6. Constipation, with an occasional diarrhoea. 7. Headache in front of head. 8. Depreasion of spirits and great lassitude, AH of the above symptoms go to show functional dosangement of the Li'or: and now comes the great Importance of any error made aa to the condition of the patient. He should immediately provide himself with a LlVKR STIMULANT, the raostcommon form of which is a Pill. Daily experience shows that this, when the Pill is compounded properly, is the readiest mode of inciting and promoting the action of the Liver,and can be always To A A\ao Up A Treg It would appear that a place at The Top off the Column is desirable.
