VIII, the Trustees Sell Us Out:

Suppose the trustees of ErsKine Coi,es'
take Rock Hills money and appropriate 1t tt
the building Of a college at Due west M
doubt that would be objected to as wrong
but there is no rubbing out the fact that I'M
ac, would be Just as honest and just ms trust
worthy in theTrustees to do that very tning
q, q is for them to take our money to build
college at Rock Hill.
The only difference, as far as we can now see
is, that Rock Hill would prooaoiy oe lo'
smart TO allow US to cheat them, while ou'
neon,e in the past have been so coniding
that they must now depend upon the honesty
Of those who control the money and the
eouties which we may force them 10 grant us
in the law.
We have no objection to Rock Hill build
ing as many colleges as the town may neeu
but we do object to their tearing down oui
college. and this people object to the trustees
acting in bad faith to those who trusted them
or their predecessors in chiid-like-faith.

A Manly md OntspOken Letter from
an AlumnuS of an Institution
which vnndal Hands Would Tear
Down.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. II, 1890.
Messrs. II. E. Bonner, =. l.. Grier, and Others,
Due West, South Carolina.
GENTLEMEN: In answer to your commu-
nicatlon this day received, beg 10 say that !
have no favor or tolerance whatever for the
thought or the effort that would seek 10 re-
move Erskine college from the locality in
which IL was born, In which 1t was reared,
and with which 1t is Identified. Due West
and Erskine college are, to my mind, indis-
solubly connected and woe betide that man
that would violently rend them asunder:
For fifty years or more. they have been
knit together; their interests have been In
reflected In the other; whether prosperity
came. or advcrsity, they sympathlzed togeth-
er; their Joys and their SORROWS were one
each has been the component of the other
and God forbid that should now seek to d.
vorce them.
In some things, am glad to say. ain not
au iconoclasl. The traditions, and associa-
tions, and memories that spring up around
and that cluster about place or locality con.
stitute It's essence and being no less than tnc
things which arc seen and determine It's In
flucnce for good or for evil. These invisible
images, representing power that Is real and
vital should, when elevating In their intlu.
ence, be cherished rather and protected from
the ruthless hands Of the destroyer.
due West, in this regard is endowed with
q priceless heritage and It would we'll be
come those who propose change OF locality
to consider whether the institution should be
rooted from the soil to which 1t Is indlgcn
Gus. and transplanted TO a place where al
best 1t must begin life anew and without
those hallowing and invisible influences
which, more than brick and stone, constitute
the true seminary of learning.
Very truly yours,

commendable pride, refer the many colonies
which Abbeville has produced.
Up to this time, however, the names or all
of them have not been included In the differ'

unintentional, and for that reason we make
no complaint, but with becoming modesty
would subject that the names Of Colonel J. T.
Robertson, G. Med. Miller, Colonel w. NJ
Haddon, Colonel Ben Lane Posey have moi
been mentioned, as among those who led the
nameless hosts to renown.
While individuals may care nothing at al!
about the matter, yet for the sake Of the town
we think IL would not be amiss TO include all
OF the colonels, when we enumerate the
names OF those who shed lustre to the fame
OF this old historic town. Their heroic deeds

and brethren went into the sublime contest

ces-through evil as well as good report: in
