The young ladies of Converse Col? lage hare entered the held of journal ism. We thaak them for the first num? ber of "Converse Co*eept? It is an excellent journal.

Senator Irby is showing himself up in a contemptible light, and few people are surprised. The idea of hm going to the Postmaster General with the report that Senator Butler I ad come into the conference with a pistol in his pocket. Butler Is a soldier, aod his bravery has been tested on a hundred battle fields, while it is irby who hat quite a reputa Sion as a pistol pocket rowdy. It's .dollars to doughnuts that the elevation of his own coat tail would hare ire vealed the handle of a six shooter. The first issue of the Confederate War Journal is before us.

J.H. Karie and the editorial ' attora nee of the Watchman and Sbvt&rm last ' week concerning the same individual. The great anona t of spnee consumed by tbw opinions om?tes impossible the reprinting af them this week for the benefit of the mass af our readers who do not see nor contesapo iarj. This we shall do next week, wheo we shall have more space at oar command. Tacit we shaH tak* up the Tarions articles of the Freemam and show severally and si og Iv how little weight tat great number of words carry. These are oat or two points that we would j call ?o the attention of the Freeman at this time, however, so that it may hare something 1 over which to tear a passion ta tatters ia. the interim. 1. The proprietor of this paper has never hesitated to express his opinion concerning Col. Karie, and has sa id nothing that habas ?ot said to Col. Earle himself, or would ob j-ct to his knowing, if Coi. dargan thinks \ i otherwise, be is at liberty to play the role of " 'Far met" at Pinchas;'* gin house," an j . time be sees fit. 2. We object most seriously to baring the editor of the fne%um imagine that we form our opinion of bim from ourself. Special I j since he advises as- to* "correct the bitterness t of heart." lt was his bitterness of heart that < was particularly objectionable to os. 1 3. We stated that personal enmity was , apparently the inciting motive of tue Pre*- ' i testa criticisms. We submit that this is well 4 taken, aod the editor ot that paper has pro doced nothing to show us the error of oar conclusion. i 4. Dr. John J. R>ssard was in the sate &>r ' ' Senator aod was defeated by Col. Earle bj ,, Means of the support of the country clubs j rf Dr. ?osear? did anything unfair ia that 1 campaign be has not been charged with at, to oar knowledge, nor have we so charged bias. : Col. Dargan** attempt to drag ia and, hide ! behind the ptrsoa af Dr. ttossard, is like- hi? conduct ia the campaign of 1883, when he [' fought against Col. 3*rle and, for Dr. Bo? sard, incidentally.

We object because the ef?ct of tl state of temperature result* in a distant moteness in the prospect of spring gre? that is'j ast now distressing, causing our i pasts to consist in a great measure of--mot tony.

An? other canse for our improved spiritual1 condi? tion is that ?be open sore of perp?tuai dis? cussion has closed up and scabbed over, ?nd neighbor can now meet neighbor without the suspicion of having gone over to the other faction. In a recent visit to Sumter we noted a newly cat street (?) reading out te the "Moses road/' which road will also, doubtless, become a street, "iu the sweet bye and bye." Weean recollect when Sum? ter was a town of "magniicent distances;" bot it strikes se now that she is a city oi magoi?rent intentions.

' a citar presentation of ?be truth, supported by- ?loquent titgur?tent, had faller? to disabuse the winds of a people who, fer the time heftig, were tonelessly misgtrMfetf. I tfriok jou will agree whh me in- trVe opinion that the intolerance of some of the extreme conser? vatives did as much as the rea', or supposed, power of the opposition toward remanding tvs to the sway of the autocrat. Of one thing I am sorry, and that is that so good a maa as Col. Harle should allow him? self to be retained as rouosel for the Liquor Dealers Association, in their fight against the Eran* law, for, while thia bill is a monstrous abortion, jet it is better, if dispensaries are established, that the law be enforced. But (his, according to the theory of some of Col. ? Earle's most bitter enemies (which theory, for argument sake, we maj concede,) is all right, for it ?* a lawjer's bowness to defend his clients? besides, this part of his business "course" smacks so highly of a want ot ser? vility te the Tillman factioo that, of course, it is not mentioned by his criticisers. Now, really, what has Col*. Earle done, worse than giving the devil bis due, which some say is right? The big fire at Atkins, on Saturday night, and which consumed the entire Lumber Planing Mill plant of Messrs. Bridges and Rankin, involved a loss of some $40,000 or $50,000, and will prove a serious blow to tbw> community ctnless the mills are re-established, for they employ more than one hundred bands. Oar farmers are well up with their work, and some are planting cotton, while many are waiting for a rain, which they say is neces? sary to bring np the seed, and which it is much better to have before than after plant? ing.

C, After a long and varied experience in the ase of Mineral Waters fro? mwary sources", both foreign and domestic, 1 am fully persuaded that the Harris Lit bk? Water possesses; efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder unedified by any other water of which i have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects npon my parient for the past three years, during which time ? have perscribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in tba medicable maladies above mentioned. Wheo failure to relieve bas occurred,. I have impaled it te insufficient use of the Water, for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should oe taken from two ta four weeks to secure its foll remedial effects. A. S.
