Carolina has long been seriously si<-k. It is manif??st to msinv thn th?yisicknes8 is increasing in severi ly: It will, we trust, soon be ; e.-rpse. Let it be buried in tin "p>tters field." It deserves n< letter treatment at the hands of de cent people. The whole thinj is undemocratic and degrading. I is to be hoped that Senator Tillmar will make no further attempt t( save the institution. With hi; splendid intellectual gifts he shouk employed in a bettter business I/-t him come over into the rank of the opponents of the whole whis k? y business. He will then be ir better business and in better com pai-.y. HOGANlT HOMINY.
