have been given to- the public before,
aud the editors of the HOlStOn Meth
odiSqknew them. But, even though
there were illegalities connected with
the sale (which Is not true,) Price &c
Co. knew that the NJ. Il. Church has
held the property under color of title
for more than seven years and it
would be an unwafrantahle
presumption 10 suppose them
so ignorant of law as not To know this
of itself would preclude the possibility
of "A lawsuit. But 1t is amusing to see
how he backs himself against what
others believe. He never tried to find
out what others thought of this.
He does most of the thinking on this
subject himself, but we know some
who are not so slippery" as he. who
do not always follow him. Now, of
course, those "somen are his superiors
Mr.. Price would he the last man to re-
ly on what his interiors may believe.
If he will Just give us the names of II
fClU who are smarter and more know
ing than he, who will say they believe
the "preseut trustees can not make a
good title,n we will believe he tried 20
write the facts. It's peculiar all over
1t is general " understood here that the
NJ. +. Church, South, or individuals
of that Church, are contemplating bid
ding in case the present trustees are
compelled to sell. 1t would be real
nice to scare Off all other bidders with
the insinustion of lawsuit, so that
his own Church might secure it at IA
mere nominal sum. That's what L
call slippery"
If the editors of the HOlSton Metho-
dist, or any other man, or set of men,
believe the present Trustees can not
make a good title to the property of
East Tennessee Wesleyan University,
we challenge them to test it in our
courts. If the Southern Methodist
Church feel they have been wronged,
they now have the courts all their own
way; surely they can get justice. If
there is any sincerity or honesty in
their continual whine about the way
the NJ. T.. Church got possession of
this property, and if they are not
keeping it up merely for effect, they
will at once proceed to institute suit
and have the matter investigated. We
challenge them to do it.

General Spinner's retirement will not
exactly take God out of the Constitution.
but it will relieve the Treasury Depart
ment of an uncommon amount of swear.
And it will make lots of work for some
body, as every dollar in the Treasury
will have to be counted before he is re-
leased. Should there happen to be a six
pence short of a hundred and twenty
million there would be volley of eX-
plosives heavy enough to reverse the
current of the Potomac and make Clarke
Mills Jackson open his eyes and lift his
hands in prOtestation. 1t is said that he
has the most extensive collection of Oaths
in the English language, and can dis
charge them with a velocity and accuracy
that would make Kentucky sharpshoot-
er despair. - Graphic.

Among the incidents of the Georgia
cyclone was the destruction of house,
one inmate of which was little child who
was blown into a cupboard. OF all the
furniture in the house that was the only
piece not broken into kindling wood. A
gin house wheel weighing four hundred
pounds was carried half mile. In Nc
Duffie county the face of every person
who came in actual contact with the cloud
was blackened. The house OF Mrs. Wat
son in that county was in the direct centre

ATHENS, April Sth, 1875.
To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
My attention is called to this item,
appearing in the HolSton Methodist!
THE ATHENs COLLEGE.-This ins
stitution now under the control of the
NJ. Il. Church is to be sold, we believe,
the 18th of April. From the manner
in which the NJ. +. Church got possess
sion of that property it is believed by
some that the present trustees can not
make a good title, and that the pur-
chaser, If any, is likely to purchase a
lawsuit
1t has already been announced to
your readers that this institution will
not be sold on the 18th of April. PO-
litical newspapers seldom go out of
their sphere to gather religious items.
There must be some excuse for the
course of your Democratic cotempoTa-
ry i'm this case. Whether or not any
excuse can be made, there is something
peculiar about it. 1t must be Temem-
bered that this paper, from its origin,
has made unceasing war upon this in
stitution, and from the characterof the
men who control the paper we suppose
they have been laying the "fiattering
JUNCTION" to their divine souls that they
have contributed no little to the long
desired contamination. What q pity
their hopes are now to be blighted I!
But the simple announcement was not
enough. There must be an insinuation
that the NJ. E. Church did not come
in possession of the property honestly.
Everybody in this country who knows
anything of the history of this institu-
tuition knows that it was sold at chan
Gerry sale for debts, incurred in running
a school under the control and patron
age of the Southern Methodist Church.
The Methodist f.. Church bid of
the property at this sale and have
since paid every dime of the purchase
money. Now if this sale was illegal
this war should be directed against the
court that decreed the sale. 1t was not
considered illegal at the time because
the wives of the leading Southern
! Methodis;s Of this place were on the
streets trying TO raise money TO buy the
property. Moreover there was nc
manipulation in the sale. At least, il
there was any it was in favor Of the NJ
/ II. Church South. Mr.. Rowley, tC
whom the debts were then due, au
thorized his agent TO give to thai
church preference in the sale. He
also wrote TO another prominent anC
reliable citizen now residing in Ath
ems, rendering the same. Representa-
tives of the Southern Church hav,
been rendered the refusal Of the prop
erty, representatives Of that churcl
had tried to raise the money, and re
representatives. Of that church were OF
the ground at the time Of sale and had
all opportunity to bid, These fact

Just above Matanzas Inlet, about two and
half miles from shore, in latitude 20o 46'

what is apparently fresh water spring.
The water at the surface is violently dis
turbed for u space of about thirty feet in
diameter. The first day we crossed this
place the water was coming up with such
violence as to throw the ship from her
course, and the second time, although it
was smooth, the vessel could be kept on

soundings in the centre Of the spring
gave twenty-three fathoms, and n speei-

Approximations of Drourh.

Says the Sugar Planter: Our planting
friends have serious fea's oil along drouth
so soon rs the present rains pass away,
and with some show OF reason. As we
have stated in previous issues Of this pa
per, the rains have been almost incessaEt
since December last, giving our farmers
and planters but little opportunity 10 get
their fields in order for cultivation. Now,
it seems to follow, as a rule, that long
rainy spells produce drouths Of an almost
equal duration, and should the rule hold
good in the present instance, it would be
wise 10 make preparations TO meet IL.

as worthy gentlemen, and, 50 far as |
know, they are AL my friends, and
some of them special frieuhs. Nor
was it an attack on the fiT-very far
from it. Aud this is the point of this
communication. Why can't we save
the fair grounds and continue our fairs?
Some means to do these things can
surely be devised. 1t will be repruach
to our town IL the fair goes down. 1t
should not be permitted. The worthy
gentlemen who now 1lave the matter
in charge should see to il that it Is not
a total failure. They are men of wealth
and they can certainly carry their lla-
bilities until they make one more trial
The fair should pay.
AS | stated last week, in 1872, aftel
paying current expenses and making
more than 81 900 worth of improve
ments, and giving near 81 600 in pre-
miums, we still had left as clear prof
nearly $4,000, which was applied tC
old debts. | therefore say that air
can be made to pay; but it require
wonderful work, energy, blowing ant

Again, the citizens of this town anC
the farmers should not allow the fai
to fail. If they do they will certainly
regret it, and in the future be amaze,
