The yvalballa College,

The prospect Of q college grows brighter
under the eotive exertons of a number Of our
citizens. There is no longer any doubt Of
getting twenty subscribers Of $500 each as q
basis of endowment. aud we feel sGre the
number in month will be increased to thirty,
giving us q basis Of $4,000. The only doubt
Or question as to our success is the action Of
tile Presbyterian Church. IF that body Of
enlighted and influential Christians will take
hold OF the movement and lend its influence
70 the good cause success is assured. Why
should, not the dhdrdh do this2 . It hus no
toliego ID this State. and now the people here
offer very fair building for stars. and from
$4,000 to $4,000 as a nucleus Of an
endowment What field is here opened for
the promotion of education at large and for
the building up tho church. both in power
and influence, through the workings Of an
institution located in that portion df tbs
State whose wealth and prosperity is easily
scon in the no distant future. No one can
doubt but that upper South Carolina is des :
tined to become the richest aud most pdpulous
portion Of the State. In ten yoars 1t will bo
accessible by rail from every direction, for
when Augusta is connected with Clayton and
Knoxville the Blue Ridge Road must and
will be finished to Clayton. Before that
time the Spartanburg and Asheville Road
will have boon in operation, and thon upper
Carolina will bo ACCESSIBLE from every dreo-
ton. Now is tho time to work for our future
development. We want railroads built. we
wantschools and colleges established and oyery
enterprise fostered which is likely to invite
population and capital. Nearly oil tho secta.
rian colleges Of the State ore in tho upper
counties. and now the Presbyterians have an
opportunity to compete with other denomina-
tions at favorable point and under favorable
circumstances.
