The "cold water" Banquet given by the
Social Club was very enjoyable affair.". They
had spread magnificent supper, which was
served in the best style and heartily enjoyed
by all. This club had nothing to drink In the
way Of liquors, or wines, therefore they Kept
respectable hours, and returned to their
homes like christian gentlemen. Our young

The Meeting Next Friday Night.

Some OF our friends from Due West
will be with us next Friday nigh. to discuss
in the Court House tine question OF removing
Erskine college from Abbeville county.
That College has always been looked upon
not only as church college, but as county
institution. Our forefathers gave literally to
its erection and endowment. and now II
seems:that the gifts Of our people are, SO 10
speak, to be put up and sold TO the highest
bidder, ard that we, its friends. are to be de-
prived of 1t, If we do not put upa still larger
sum of money.
Ourfriends in the other Presbytery boast
of its increase in membership, but never ut
ter a word as to what they, and we, have
given in money to the establishment OF the
college.
Because public spirited citizens are willing
to give $4,000 for our endowment OF Sl0O0oo,
an attempt Is made 10 deprive us OF vested
rights. OF course Rock Hill. or any other
community can afford to give s40OO for $780,
COO, when they will also get back their own
$4,000.
Tooutsiders 1t looks very much like snap
judgment against US. which is totally unwor-
thy Of christian brethren.
This removal Of the college has not been
publicly discussed In the church paper. but
was recently worked up without consultation
with the great body Of the church.
A few constituted guardians OF the peoples
rights. (or the assumed agents of those who
would despoil us). have by the arts ofthe pol
itician and parliamentarlant taken the faction
into hands which we learn, are inimical to us
and our equities.
We must now contribute literally. 1t is our
duty to do 20. We hope then that this people
next Friday night will do Its whole duty.
After doing this, II our friends at Due West
are true to their own interests, and true to
the friends who have stood by them In the
part they will test the legal rights OF theinstl-
tlon In the courts Of last resort before giving
up the institutson.
