The Presbyterian College of South
Carolina, located nt Clinton, S. O..
has begun the publication of a quarterly
bulletin, a circular of genira!
information regarding the college anil
its work. Wp have received the first
copy of Vol. !, dated January, 11'
This bulletin will ro doubt bo of material
advantage to this excellent institution
for both male and female
students.
The poorer class in the large cities
will probably hang up their coal >vutile
Christmas eve nierht instead of
tho stocking, ? qniet hint to < >id I'nole
Sanl:i to substitute coal this time
for toys and bon hons. Almost cverybody
can wear "diamonds." Don't
know so much about everybody burning
coal though. Tho coal scuttle
at ill give many it poor fellow the
"cobl shoulder" anil tho "frozen
face" when they meot this winter.
All corrospondonts will please got
up their news notes for tho Christmas
week issue and have their, in tho office
Monday of next week. Von may
just cover the happenings since your
last communication up to Saturday
night and mail your loiter Sunday.
Then devote yonr->??!f to the full enjoyment
of the festivities of Christmas
week. You can then tell
about it in y mr next letter.

Our oM friend, finri or.o cf Titb
Timkk inn-t staunch supporters, Mr.
XV. A. E. Black, dropped in to see us
one day last week, he had several
g">od hit e<r? of corn well filled and
about 12 inches long, two of them
wore hangiivj to a stalk while the
other.; were loose, ilo rx{.liine<l that
he had been experimenting this year
with corn, to find which was tho most
prolific, nni ho had decided that this
corn, the Thompson corn, took the
cake, tho loeso ears grew one to the i
atnlk, they wero fouica h.? t larger
than the two on a stalk, but, he sry*
ho has saved all the stalks hearing
two cars, ilo will plant ihose in the.
olTort to develop it to a cr >p of two
oar stalks. This corn he say t averaged
jo bushels to the acre. Ifr
gathcert 80 bushels from 1.; acres.
From 7 acres be gathered 280 bushels,
lie says his meat crop last year wu?
not as good r.3 he would have liked,
but that he lias no kick coming as lie
only bought * > v.'orth of moat dming
the year. S.ivs ho is heolod this year,
however, and will have plenty of hogs
to kill, to do his family. Besides
this ho has raised an abundance of
cabbage, pot*.toe? and molasses, has
molasses leftover yet from last year's
crop. He has now in h'S crib between
1?>0 and oOO bushels of fine
corn, and many iir.vo already boon
trying to buy corn from hitn, but ho
says his corn don't goat 7)0 ca bushel.
Mr. Black certainly deserves great
credit. Ho bought this place, u two
horse farm, n few years ago, it was
considered almost worthless. He
moved from town to his farm and
went to work, not only to make a
living, hut to Improve and develop
his land into a high state of cultivation.
And when we say he went to
work we mean wokk. lie devoted his
beat energise, and every spare moment.
to the farm. He found very
little time to go to town, and when
absolutely necessary to go, he attended
to his business end returned
to his work and kept at. it. As a result
hp has as line a little farm as can
he found. As an evidence of its improvement,
the assessing board his
increased its valuation some $C>;)0
more than when ho took hold of it.
This might seem hard on him, but it
is a slowing tribute to his ability as '
n i * |
a farmer. All this proves that there j
is money to he made on the farm, !
but there is no time to waste,

A bullfight, dog fight and cork
light was very thoroughly advertised
by (laming dodgers lo toko place on
the premises of one It. F. Thomasson,
near llock Hill, York county,
one day last week. The Governor
was not Hi od of tlio contemplated violation
of the laws of South Ouroihn,

whereupon '.li t sheriff Sc-r t after a

ntul that settled ihe mutter most effectually.
Thrr-j was no fighting.
I It is a pleasure to note that only 7">
people <vtrio to witness the fights.
We hope this prompt ripping i:i the
bu i an effort. to introduce this cruel
sport, which is unworthy of savages
to say nothing of civilized and intel1-gn'
p.'Opie, will effectually put a
jaiet us on tiny tendency in that direction.

The Journal unci Review cf Aiken,
S. (J., says:
"Tho new pistol law seems to he
sotm thing of a farce. There is nothing
in the act prohibiting tho 'lease'
of pistols for ninety rears and we
vent'iro to ?ay that as many pistols
are densed' us were sold before the
passage of the act."
Wo do not know how it is with the
merchants of Aikon, but the merchants
of Union are law abiding citizens,
and when the law passed prohibiting
the .sale of pi.str>ls of tin; ordinary
size, every one of them shipped
back what stock of pistol they had
on hand and notja pistol can be found
in any store in town for sale, barter
or lease. It might possibly bo well
for the editor of the Journal and Ilo,vio\v
to canvass his town and see if
t here are "as many pistols leased as
were sold before the passage of the
law" before venturing assertions
likely to lead people to believe that
the merchants of his town aro so adverse
to obeying the law as to endeavor
to violate the spirit if not the
letter of the law by "leasing" out
pistols. We don't believe the merchants
of Aiken are guilty of any
such conduct. If tho Journal knows
of no such ca*es in Aiken, what right
has it to surrniso that such and such
is tho case elsewhere?

various sections are beginning to report
nice hogs to kill. This is indeed
gratifying. If you have more than l

cold was intense. The urgont dtin.tiul
for cold waa so great thai it
taxed the fucitities of every dealer in

There was considerable suffering

Mr, Rockefeller has expressed ids
willingness\o contribute $l,lwn>,Gi?t>
toward education ia the Southern
States.
Mr. Rockefeller's desire is that r,n
quarter or section of the South slu i:
be without general educational facilities,
equal, if possible, to those of
the North and West.
To this end every Southern Sta'e
will be enabled in the distribution of
the general fund to be taken care of
by the general educational board. Itis
to be hoped that South Carolina
will manipulate the wires so as to get
a slice of this pie, and we would like

A new Daily paper is to be launched
in Greenville, S. Ci. This is to be an
evening paper, and tho lir.-t issue
will appear one day next week. The
papor is owned by a corporation, and
will be edited by Mr. John Clarence
llrewer. The subscription price will
be $o per annum. Tho afternoon
daily has heretofore had a hard road
to travel Lut it seem3 at last that
things arc coming their way. The
busy man has little time now to re id
a paper in tho morning, and with
I equally efficient service wo are rather
! inclined to believe that the afternoon
paper has the advantage. We
wish the Herald success.
