a correspondent Of tho Ners ald
Courier, signing himself ~. T. Robert.
son, colored citizen" after commenting
on various things and different men
connected with the politics Of South
Carolina, says ''in some Of the Counties
in the State the colorcd teachers are sub.
jected to all the partiality and Insults
possible by the fchool Commissioners.
Especially is this the case in Greenville
and Anderson Counties, but even the
white people have shown such men that
they are tired OF them by calmly laying
them on the shelf and filling their places
with more conservative men," We are
surprised to see such statement find its
way into print, for, so far as this County
is concerned, 1t is utterly unfounded.
The colored teachers are given fair
competitive examination, and staud like
the white teachers on their merits.
Those who cannot pass the examinations,
regardless Of color, are not permitted to
swindle the public by teaching school.
The consequence is, that our schools, for
both white and colored, have been great
ly improved. In addition to the educa.
tional test, our school boards have very
properly required good moral character
from those who would undertake to in
struct either white or colored children.
The matter Of politics or color have not
been permitted to control at all, and as q
proof Of this we may cite the fact tha t
to day there arc several conspicuous
colored Republican politicians teaching
in the common schools Of Anderson
County. The charges of partiality made
against Mr.. Todd are unfuunded. He
has been efficient, courteous and dilgcnt,
and will leave tho office with the respect,
good will and well wishes of ali our
people and we are satisfied that there
will be and ought to be no more conser.
vative administration Of our common
school system than his has been.

BRUNSWICK, GA, June 20, 1ss4.-Editor
Constitution desire to make public.
through your columns, my experience
with - remedy which is made In your
city. In the early part of February last
after three weeks visit North In inclem-
snt weather. was attacked with inflam.
matory rheumatism of severe type-my
first serious illness with the exception OF
yellow fever in l876) in fourteen years.
When taken I was in robust health,
Weighing l65 pounds, but somewhat worn
and weary with oyerwork. I was treated
first with ncids then with alkaline reme-
dies-each furnishing temporary partial
relief from pain, which returned with In.
creased severity at tho slightest change in
the weather, and each new attack was
preceded by chill and followed by O hot
fever. In three weeks my. weight was
reduced to 100 pounds. had no appetite
nor strength, and was growing weaker
each day. continued changing medi-
cines, and was finally advised by physi-
clans, after seven weeks Of continued
treatment. that my only hope Of speedy
Springs in Flor!da-a trip which business
and other considerations did not permit.
In the Savannah Ncics I saw an article
from Major Sidney Herbert, stating that
he had been relieved Of rheumatism by
Swifs's Specific, and at once commenced
to take It. In three days began TO Inn
prove. and in three weeks was free from
disease and attending to business. MY
appetite returned and II rapidly regeined
the lost flesh. I hfee waited this long to
be sure that n.y relief was permanent.

The idea that Anderson will need the
license money from saloons to help bear
the burden Of city taxation incident to
our railroad subscriptions will not bear q
close analysis. If there is 40 liquor sold
in Anderson it will leave from thirty to
fifty thousand dollars per year to be spent
among our merchants and mechanics,
which is now lost in drink. II will be
easier for many persons to pay their
taxes, if no liquor is sold, than it will be

WAIT AND SEE.
The Newberry Observer, SAW


The editor of the Anderson INTEbII.
aEECEh, and late candidate for Congress
says:
There is no doubt that much valuable
time Will be lost in the discussion of the
State University and the Columbia Canal,
but no change in the policy Of the State
can or will be effected by tie expenditure
OF the pent-up rhetoric OF the local
politicians on these subjects.
This is a fair specimen OF what the
Augusta Chronicle would call "assumacy.
"Local politicians" The men who op.
pose these measures are certainly the
equals of the INTELLIGENCER man in
brains, character and reputation; and
there is no suspicion that their views are
influenced by selfish or unworthy mo.
tivcs.
The lSTELLIGEECER has not charged
any member of the Legislature with
selfish or unworthy motives. 1t has
simply predicted the resuI. Of probable
rhetorical battle in the Legislature. 1t
did speak Of the fight as coming from
local politicians, and we apprehend that
the men who oppose the University will
be found to come from Counties in which
there has been either local fight over
the question in the canvass, or in which
there ia strong local opposition to the
institution. We have not said that these
gentlemen were lacking in brains, char.
acter or reputation but what we did
say was, that after the battle of words is
over, they will be found lacking in votes
Those who have any doubt about it will
see no is right when the appropriation
bill is passed. The Observer cannot,
however, conceal its malice towards the
lNTELLIGENcER. 1t does not discuss
any matter with us without making it as
personal as possible. We have become
accustomed to its style of controversy,
however, and confess wc would be greatly
surprised to find any improvement in it's
manners.

The Mountain Cholera.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, November 26.-The
Courier-Journat recently sent sta6
correspondent to investigate the reported
ravages of the dread disease in Eastern
Kentucky and Western Virginia. The
correspondent sends the following from
Williamsburg, Ky:
w. q. Lester, prominent attorney OF
this place, has just arrived from Mount
Pleasant, the County seat of Harlan
here he has been for two weeks past ut
Court as ac. prosecuting attorney.
Lester has inf .'mation Of the prevailin q
plague, principally from Harlan. Letch.
er, Perry, Leslie and Bell Counties. He
says that in Harlan it appears worst. 1t
is most fatal and prevails to the greatest
extent about the headquarters of Pear
Fork and Clover Creek in the mountains,
about twenty five miles from Mount
Pleasant. This large territory is being
terribly afflicted. The people are dying
very rapidly. In one neighburhood
twelve persons died in single day in
the latter part of last week, end there
were scarcely we'll people enough to make
them collins and bury them. On Browns
Creek, which rises in Harlan and enpties
into the Cumberland River in Bell
County, the disease is raging with right.

banks of the stream the people are sick
and physicians and medicines, outside of

properties the natives are acquainted, are
unknown and unobtainable The epi-
demic is rapidly spreading in Harlan
County. In district covering the
Southern portion of Letcher and Perry,
the whole of Leslie and the Northwest
portion of Bell Counties, the plague has
obtained foothold, but the reports as to
its violence are very conflicting.
Lester thinks that the deaths run up
into the hundreds, while the number OF
those attacked cannot be estimated. The
disease does not prevail at Mount Pleas.
ant. Lester further says that no one
seemed to know the exact nature of the
pestilence. Most of the people called it
"Flux," and it is probably very aggra-
waited form Of that disease. It begins
with gripping pains in the stomach, fol-
lowed by debilitating diarrhna aud swell.

All reports agree as to the cause Of
the epidemic, it being attributed to the
use of impure water by the natives.
The season has been unusually dry, the
streams, as rule, consisting of harrow
threads of murkJ, foul smelling and foul
tasting water.
The corn crop in all the Counties
named shove is good, and starvation and
want only exists because the people can
spare no time from the sick to gather it.
No mills are running on the smaller
streams. Ny informant had no news
except in q general way of the preva.
