Doing n Thumping Business.
jfThe Union Cotton Mills Department
Store is certainly doing a hustling business.
Th?v had a nulling trade Saturday
and Monday. The dry goods department
had the best sales of any day
so far. They did a great business last
fall, but the prospects so far are that they
will exceed last fall's business by far
this fall. One of their departments sold
as much Monday as the average store,
and big ones at that, sold Altogether.
All the clerks are hustlers, and know
how to handle customers, no matter how
large the crowd. One of the features of
last Monday's trade was a large delega- t
tion from Carlisle, almost a coach,fiUl.Xtt
who came up and went to the Compai5y$$t
Store to trade. They bought a quantity],
of goods, and were well pleased and well t
paid for the trip. {

More About That College Scrape, .

It seems that the interest in the Clare- <
rPrvllnrrn offjir rnrvirfod Ko flra
1UUUU aiiau, &V^V&V1A? i/j vuv
Jonesville correspondent to The State,
has not yet subsided. The college president
was pretty severely censured for refusing
to let the young ladies return, and
holding their trunks until forced to deliver
them by law. The teachers of the
college come out in a reply in The Yorkville
Enquirer. We hardly think the
gentlemen, at Jonesville, who went after
the trunks, would willfully misrepresent
the facts. The teachers say:
A MALICIOUS FALSEHOOD.
"We, the undersigned, teachers of
Claremont College, know the following
statements from the Jonesville, S. C.,
correspondent of The State, of Sept.
24th, to be entirely false:
1st. 'After the young ladies arrived
and spent one night at the college and
looked around, they were dissatisfied
and would not be matriculated and refused
to enter.' These young ladies
were dissatisfied before they came. One
was heard to propose to the rest that they
return. This was before they were within
40 miles of Hickory. Miss Littlejohn 1
frankly said she did not come to study
and only came to have a good time. She 1
also said she would return any time she 1
wished. We understand that one of '
these girls attended Converse College,
became dissatisfied with this institution 1
and returned in one week. The other 1
young lady attended Columbia, S. C., 1
female college and was not satisfied with 1
the college. These we understand are 1
considered good colleges.
2nd. 'The president demurred and refused
to let them go*' Mr. Hatton dkV 1
not refuse at any time to let them le&ttr (
But said he would not give them his con- ]
sent for them to go until he heard from '
their parents in reply to his letters. In !
inis, ne consulted wun toe iacuity huu
acted upon their approval. Most parents,
we think, would approve of this course.
3rd. 'One of them?Miss Littlejohn?
managed to get away and returned,'
The facts are she caused considerable !
merriment among the students by her
ridiculous behaviour. (
Miss Hames even disapproved of her 1
leaving without Mr. Nation's consent,
and promptly informed him whose only
action in the matter was to send a servant
to request her return, until she
could hear further from home.
Mr. Ilatton acted in this matter toward
these girls as most parents would
have expected him to do.
We wish to further state that the
main statements of said letters are false
and misleading. Mr. Hatton acted with
considerable forbearance iu this matter,
and in a way that thoughtful parents expect
of one in his position.

SCORES SAM JONES.
Why Does lie Defend the Trusts
From the Pulpit? Is There a
Money Consideration in His
Talk for the Trusts.
S.un Jones boKlly stated in his lecture
n Union that he was heartily in f.tvor
>f trusts, and endeavored to show that
hay were a blessing instead of a curse to
he country, and drew several coinparirtns
Piirmrjlirtna in <irwl -...t ..f I
he trusts. The editor of the News and
Courier takes him to task, aud shows as
trong authority as Jone3 in denunciaion
of the trusts. I
The News and Courier says:
'Tn his speech in the Methodist
3burch in Union, last Saturday night,
tie Irreverend Mr. Sam Joues surprised
is audience somewhat by a defence of
nouopolies. As reported, he said thai
le "believe in trusts," compared the
'service of trains in aud out of the
rusts, the prices of sugar before and
ifter the trusts showing every thing in
he trust's favor," and wouud up with
,he comprehensive declaration: "I like
em." v
It scarcely requires to be said that Mr.
loues erred iffelassing railroads among
;rusts, of the order of those which are
lie subject of current and proper denuunation,
for the single sufficient reason,
lot to mention many others, that the
irices charged by these corporations for
heir service?transportation of freiirhfc
ind passengers? is legulated by the pe 'pie
through the agency of the Government,
vhile the monopolies under condemnation
are superior to governmental control
ind (ix their prices at their own arbitrary
deasure. Nor was the speaker more
'ordinate in alluding to the Sugar Trust
is a benelical institution as proved by the
irices of sugar under its management.
Every house-keeper in trie country
mows that the concern has repeatedly
'aised the price of sugar for no other reaon
than that of increasing its own profits
egardless of the cost of the product, the
atest instance being a raise of neai ly 50
>er cent, within the past few months,
:Ie did not specify other concerns, so
hat others need not be esjieeially conlidered,
but his general declaration that
le "likes 'em," likes'em all, serves to
nake his attitude pretty plain. The reigious
weeklies of the North, it appears,
ire of the same mind with him, as it is
ep^rted that they all favor the trusts'
id ministration of the Government and
idvocate their continuance in power.
Mr. Jones and the religious weeklies of
,he other section do not, however, reprelent
the sentiment of all the preachers
>f the country, nor even all those of the
ither section, as is proved by the very
dain and earnest denunciation of the
ivil concerns by the ltev. Dr. Ward Gamder,
in a sermon delivered last Sunday in
he Methodist Church, at Vineland, New
Jersey, in which State most of them have
oeen incorporated. Dr. Gamble, speaking
in the very headquarters of the trusts,
ieclared that the monstrous growth of
?uch combinations of capital "for the prevention
of competition" is undermining
the Republic, and he urged the voters of
he county to "rise and smash |them before
it is too late." By way of explain
ing his position and justifying his advice,
he said:
"When four or five men get together
ind place the price upon labor for prolucing
the necessities of life, and then
dictate the selling price of the finished
productions, it is a most wicked conspiracy
against the welfare of humanity, and
ao punishment Is too severe for the scoundrels.
"j say that hanging is too good for the
trust magnate that stands on a mountain
of coal in Pennsylvania that God meant
for the benefit of all his children, pays
itarving wages to the miners who risk
their lives to go into the bowels of the
jarth, and then dictates the price of coal,
10 that it robs all the people and couses
untold suffering among the poor for the
want of fuel.
"I say, with a full realization of my
utterance and with my blood running
warm when I think of it, that hanging
Is too good a punishment for such a
man.
"Witness the deplorable situation of
applying like a fawning 'applicant to
3ne man in Wall street, as was done a
few days ago, to stop a strike of such
large proportions that it becomes of national
importance. Yet such is the pressnt
situation. If one man has the power
over railroads and trusts to stop a strike
of cuch magnitude, he has the power to
bring on a strike of such gigantic proportions
by robbing and starving the
workmen.
"I have been to the anthracite coal
region of Pennsylvania and investigated
the conditions which brought on the
3trike, and when I say that the minirs
are paid staving wages and treated more
like dumb brutes than men, I know
what I am talking about."
The good and great George Washington,
it will be remembered, was of Mr.
Gambler's mind as to the proper punishment
for the "scoundrels," as Mr Gamble
calls them, and the "murderers, monopolizers
and forestallers," "the greatest
enemies to the happiness of America,"
a? Washington himself styled them, but
hanging them is out of the present question
aiUI need not be discussed.
The point is that quite as good a
preacher sis Mr. Jones, and a much more
logical one, tlnds nothing in the conduct
or the trusts to make him "like 'em."
and much to lead him to denounce them
as "wicked conspiracies against the welfare
of humanity," oppressors and starvers
of poor and humble workers, and
robbers of all the people. And he gives
convincing evidence in support of this
view of them. Mr. Jones is a popular
speaker, and as he speakes from the pulpit
in defence of the conspiracies, it is as
well, perhaps, that his arguments shoul d
be answered from the same source.''
