UNION, S. C., JUNE 16, 1005.
The Times has in the past re
fruined from giving publicity to
local sensational scandals, for the
reason that such things not only
affected the persons concerned hut
reflected seriously upon the moral,
social and religious standing and
reputation of the community. The
recent occurrence of a most shocking
nature gives us reason for sounding
a note of warning.
No town or city has ever sustained
and maintained a higher
standard of morals, virtue, chastity
and modesty among her women
than Union. Let her not fall he- !
low thif mo?! enviable reputation.
"A word to the wise is sufficient."
DIXON VS. OGDEN.
We admire The State and congratulate
it in its persistent effort
to sustain the position assumed from
the outset with reference to Mr.
Ogden as the head of the "Southern
Conference for Kdueation."
'PI... 1 1 *i 1. a
i in; man; oas ciuog wiwi a icnaciiy
worthy, in our humble judgment, of
ii 1 letter, as the head of a cause of
such vital importance to the people
of the South. The State has given
.-lt.ii . m. ..vU w# iikiirrnmil
and magnanimity in opening its
columns and soliciting from Mr.
Dixon an exposition and proof of
the real character of Mr. Ogdon.
Mr. Dixon did so, stating, as we
presume facts, yet The State in an
editorial in the same issue of the
paper containing Mr. Dixon's article,
speaks as one if "convinced
against his will, is of the same
opinion still."
Certainly Mr. Dixon would not
in public print say things he did
not know to he true and woidd not
jeopardize his reputation to gratify
a petty prejudice, therefore we must
conclude il?;it Mr. Dixon has told
tha story as it really is, not overdrawn
or exaggerated, hut given in
the characteristic style and strong
language of the writer. In the
same editorial The State alludes to
an article printed in the same issue
copied from the "Boston Guardian"
(negro). State's headlines: "An
attack on Mr. Ogden from another
quarter. While Mr. Dixon accuses
Mr. Ogden of being a negro lover,
a Boston negro paper says he is a
white man lover." We are, after
reading the aforesaid "attack" by
this negro editor inclined to regard
it as a milder and less forcible attack
upon Mr Ogden than upon
one Rev. Edward Cummings, a
professor of sociology in Harvard
College, "a man picked out for this
trip because he was a friend of the
negro," so says this negro editor,
and further, because the southern
states had practically disfranchised
the negro by the recent adoption of
new constitution making property
and educational qualifications necessary
to entitle them to a vote.
Tiib Times in an editorial a year
ago when the Ogden party went to
Birmingham, gave the education of
the negro as the prime motive of
the Ogden party, owing to this very
fact alluded to hy the negro editor
with reference to the new constitutions
hy which the negro had l?ecn
disfranchised. Frtmi what the
negro editor of the negro paper, the
"Boston Guardia" says, it is evident
that the negroes north relied
more upon Rev. Edward Curnmings
A , . ? . . . .
?- * .. ... . .
for correct^ information and the
inauguration of a hotter and more
effective move towards the education
of the negro in the South than
upon Mr. Ogdcn, therefore the
greater the disappointment, in that
Cummings did not do what he was
commissioned to do, hut on the
contrary was converted to the southern
views of the status of the negro
in tin- South. The State has made
a valiant, ahle tight to maintain and
sustain its position in this matter
against the opposing forces of the
Manufaeturers' Record, Dr. Hatcher,
the News and Courier and other
papers of minor noto, hut has failed
to turn face to the wall the life size
pen picture of Mr. Robert C. Ogdcn
drawn by Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr.,
reproduced on the front page of
this isntc of Tiik Tim us. <t'Tis
true 'tis pity, 'tis pity 'tis true."
WINTHROP^OLLCOE.
When the project of erecting and
maintaining a normal and industrial
school for girls in South Carolina
was first agitated it met the
approval of a large majority of the
people as the fulfillment of a long
felt necessity, hut fears were entertained
that the undertaking was
beyond the finantial ability of the
I State to perfect: hut the generous
liberality of the people of Rock Hill
made it possible and the institution
was assured, and since its erection
it lias increased in strength, popularity
and usefulness, until it has
become indispensable. A visit to
the institution will be suilieient to
convince any reasonable person of
the truth of this assertion. Of
Winthrop College no one not even
from a graphic description or detailed
account of the magnitude and
scope of her work, can form a correct
idea; a person must see to appreciate
her grandeur and glory, in
the fullness of her accomplishments.
It was our pleasure and privilege to j
attend the commencement exercises (
the ">th and (1th inst., and we were j
most delightfully and profitably
entertained. The young ladies
were very kind, courteous and con- .
siderate, in conduct." n</ <
cue (intercut departments and ex- .
plaining the work and purpose of ^
each. Perfect in appointment, af- j
fording every facility for acquiring j
a theoretic and practical knowledge ^
of everything desired in the educa- rj
tion of a girl are the class rooms, ^
i.:? ,i : - - - ?
Kiiriii-ii, si; wing room, manual ^
training or mechanical arts, this
latter is equipped with work bench- ^
es, tools and material necessary to
the making of articles l>oth useful
and ornamental to the household,
such as brackets, coat and hat- g
racks, butter paddles, trays, has- e
kets, hammocks. The use of the c
saw and hammer is taught, so that
the girl need not call on father or |
brother when she needs a little f
work done about the house. The c
library and reading rooms arc tilled 1
with the best literature contained *
in books, magazines and newspapers,
kindergarten, gymnasium .
and apparatus for physical culture. ;
By the way, we rather thought the (
gymnasium too small to admit of '
the daily exercise of all the students, '
which we regard as neeessar, how- (
ever we could sec no evidence of
neglect in this respect in the ap- '
pearance of the students themselves.
The propagation room for Floraculture
is a model, as are all the j
other departments. The domitory <
is from a sanitary point of view as 1
perfect as are those of every other J
connected with the institution.
On Monday morning a most j
! creditable exhibit of the work of <
the students in the industrial de- !
partments was made by a display of
specimens of the work. All showed
careful training and thorough instruction,
aptness and proficiency <
of pupils. The literary attainments
of the students are 1 Hitter shown
through the two literary societies.
NVinthrop and Curry being literary
rivals, a mbitions and aspirations
are stimulated as was fully demonstrated
in a debate to wbieli we
listened with unusual interest, the
question being, "Resolve*I, That
the best interests of civilization demand
that Russia win in the. present
struggle with Japan.'.' Miss |
Sue Shaw of Winthrop society, affirmative,
and Miss Francenia
L .
Brcnnen of the Curry, the negative.
The judges selected to decide which
side won in this literary contest
were W. W. Ixnvis, Esq., of Yorkville
l?ar, J. L. Glenn, Esq., of the
Chester har and W. B. Wilson,
Esq., of the Roek Hill bar. Whet
we say that the arguments wen
masterly, evincing profound though!
and great research we but fc*0>l}
express the true merits and mcasun
of praise due to the efforts of these
two charming and brilliant youni
ladies. While our sympathies wen
with the side of Japan and con
sidered it the easier side of tin
question as being in accord witl
our feelings and hoped to hear tin
better argument from the advocah
on this side of the question, but no
so, according to our judgment fron
a standpoint of merit alone, w<
consider the argument of Miss Shuu
enough superior in rhetoric, method
reasoning from past history, statis
tics, educational and religious h
have won.
It was a difficult decision t<
reach, we admit, owing to the man}
good points made by the debators
What impressed us most forcibly
was the self possession, quiet dig
nity, self confidence and culture of
the young ladies in this debate, ol
whom their alma mater should feel
proud, who are now numbered
among her distinguished alumni.
The College Journal it? nnothci
evidence of the literary attainmcntt
of the contributors to its pages.
Miss Sally won the medal offered
by the president for the best article.
One of the most important res
in this college is the religious influences
nurtured, cherished and
promoted principally by the Young
Woman's Christian Association.
This Christian influence is felt and
exerted among the new students
who are made to feel at home
among strangers, consequently
being under such influence are less
liable to stray from the teachings of
Christian parents. The association
lias a membership of 2o8 out of
42(> domitory students. The association
has six Bible classes, has
w. .m i nn-i-miS' - -?*?
iionary societies. So it will be seen
hat the atmosphere of religious inluence
in which the student l>ody
ive is good. It has been said of
'resident I). B. Johnson that he is
he right man in the right place,
"his must be true, otherwise Winlirop
College would not be what it
? today.
iermonette by Rev. Wm.
Foster.
"For in much wisdom is much
rief: and he that increaseth knowldge
increaseth sorrow. Keel. 1st
hap. and 18th verse.
Man's destiny in this life is inlelibly
written by the finger of
Jod. "He cometh forth like a
lower and is cut down, he fleeth
dso like a shadow, and continueth
... ti.a a...... J. i:<

cason of strength they he ft>ur

md we fly away." The more wislom
a man gains the less opinion
ic has of himself, for he learns that
ill flesh is as grass and all the glory
>f man as the flower of grass; the
grass withereth and the flower
thereof fallcth away, hut the. word
of the Lord endnreth forever, and
this is the word which by the gospel
is preached unto us.
For in much wisdom is much
grief: and he thatincrcaseth knowledge,
inereascth sorrow. The wise
man grieves over lost opportunities
;>f doing good to his fellow man.
llrieves over the general frailty of
man, and his ultimate destiny;
knowing there is none good no not
one; and that all must soon appear
at the judgment seat of Christ to
give an account for the deeds done
in the Isxly. Nothing in this life
will brighten man's pathway more
than to keep a conscience void of
offense toward Clod and toward
fellow man. This slundd he tin1
heartfelt prayer of every thoughtful
man: "So teach us to number our
days that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom. That we may increase
in knowledge and grow in
grace, until our knowledge shall Ik;
like a river and our righteousness
like the waves of the sea. No
works of mortals entitle them to
boast." When you have done all
that you can do, say we are unprofitable
servants and have only
done what we ought to have done.

Above rubies is wisdom's price,
Outshining purest gold ;
In our age there's nothing so nice.
Nor was in days of old.
It guides to fields of endless rest,
It leads to pastures green ;
It is an emblem of the blest,
The brightest jewel seen.
It comes to man from ctod above,
The source of all that's good ;
An earnest of the Savior's love,
The Kock that's always stood.
bet each one strive this gift to gain,
And walk in wisdom's ways;
That he with Christ may always reigi
And sing the Master's praise.

hearty laugh
An English physician in searcl
for remedies for human ills find:
that laughter stands very higl
in the list of prophylactics. Thi
effect of mere cheerfulness as ;
health promoter is well known
but an occasional outburst o
downright laughter is the heroii
remedy. It is a matter of everv
day experience, says our Englisl
authority, that one feels tlv
better for a good laugh, an ex
plosion of laughter being in trut]
a "nerve storm, comparable ii
its effect to a thunder-storm ii
nature, doing good by dissipatin;
those oppressive clouds of car*
which sometimes darken th<
mental horizon." This authority
assures us that the memorabl*
adage, "Laugh and grow fat,'
rests on a sound philosophica
basis. Portly people are no
given to laughter because the;
are fat; they are fat because the;
laugh.
