TRRMS, IN ADY.kCR: Ose Year,............................ 50 Six MOSQ ....................... .. .7 WJNNSBORC, S. C. Faiday. June 14 - - - 1901 The June session of the court in this county has been a remark able one in that there was nc mistrial or acquittal. The Negro Young Peoples' Christian Congress which is to meet next year is now figuring on a place for the convention which it is reckoned will be at tended by 10,000 delegates. At lanta, Washington, Chattanooga, Memphis and St. Louis are bid ding. It is too new a thing fox Atlanta not to capture. McLaurin has been called a Repulican and Tillman has been termed a Populist. The formei has been called upon. to explain wherein his views differ from those held by the Republican . rty. It is about time that the -atter shoiald explain wherein his views are not in accord with those lAeld by the Populist party. So far the number of names necessary to secure a farmer's institute for this county has not been received. Surely t h e r e should be fifteen farmers in this county enough interested in this matter as to send in their names. These institutes can be of very great service to the people of the county, if they will but avail themselues of them. The Southern Industrial Con vention is in session this week in Philadelphia. Its object is to bring about a closer relation be tween the North and the South in trade matters. Unfortunately South Carolina has no represen tative in this convention which should mean so much for the de velopment of the trade of this section of the country. commencements in South Caro .lina are held between the second and third Sundays of June. The number of graduates this June has been inuaually large. This ga expeeted for the colleges are i~ at beter goedition now than at my3 tim~ is a god many years. th present indications are that the attendance another year will be fine, It is a great credit to the State that so much interest is being manifested in the cause of education. There is great gratitude through out the State that Dr. Carlisle has conseted to act as president of Wofford College for another year. No man has exerted great er influence for the cause of edu cation in the Palmetto State than this distinguished son of Winns boro, or rather of South Carolina. Already beyond seventy-six, xnear ly fifty years of which he has spent in the same place,. thouig many inviting offrs were made him to go elsewhere, he is still the beloved president of Wofford College. Wth. a]l l he things that might be said in his behalf the ngos) rjeigrkable is that Spartan lpag-with all of its material pros ' riy has not yet grown large eough to have a building that will hold the audience that gath ers when he is . announced for a lecture. And what is more s ig nificant still is that there is no other man that can draw as 1- ry 'an audience in Spartauur as. -Dr. Carlisle. Apropos of what wa~s said in i recent editorial in this paIper' n regard to boarding s -hools, it wil: be noted that WXofford Coll. ge has decided to estab~lish anothei fitting school in additioni to the two she already has,~ The sig nificance of thie. Ests,biishment of this additional: sr]bool-, which will be in the Pef4 lee section, is that Wofford Colbge realizes that there is a demad for additional board ipg' schools in South Carolina. Thi& demand we pointed out in .the editorial referred to above, and as a further evidence that this is a growing movement, this editor knows of another large basding school that is being ovganized. There is no mistake about the fact that the demand for good boarding schools is rap idly increasing, and as the country sobiools increase in efficiency, the demanA for the baring cools will be the greater, for the number of those who will be advanced to the point of being able to do high grade preparatory work will be greatly increased. The success h that is now attending the board ing schools that are in operation a is a strong evidence that there is i room for more such schools. Again v we suggest that the business men of Winnsboro open their eyes to c this advance educational move- t ment. A Sensible Judge. The court room is a place where a good many amusing things occur. The examination of witnesses is often the occasion of a good laugh ior the visitors to the temple of justice. In many instances the joke is on the wit ness, but sometimes the table is turned and the examiner is the one who is hit. An instance of the latter kind occurred in the court room this week. On the stand as a witness was a promi nent farmer of the western sec tion of the county, who is a little deaf. The attorney asked him a question, but reccived no answer. The question was repeated, but still there was no answer. The examing attorney then threatened: "I will appeal to the judge and he will make you answer the ques tion." "That, he won't," was the reply of the witness who was not too deaf to catch the attorney's re marks. "He's got too much sense to ask any such fool ques tion as that." The sheriff's "Order in Court" was not sufficient to restore quiet in the court room. Bryant and Longtown, Longtown, June 11, 1901.-We are having excellent weather now for farm work. If the present favorable weather continues to prevail for a week or two longer, the farmers will, in all probability, succeed in conquering "general green." Corn is looking well, in some instances. Generally speaking, however, it is smaller than it was at the same time last year. Cot ton is not looking well; the super abundance of rain has proved very injurious to it. Small grain is now beiga harUd. The The college girls and boys have comnmenced to return home. Misses Lena and Cordie Reeves, who have been attending school at Winthrop, returned home on Thursday. Miss Sallie Lee Harrison, who has been attending Chicora Col lege, Greenville, 8. C., has re turned home. Mr. Albert Mellichanmp, of the Co-educational Institute of Edge field, has arrived. Mr. David Elliott Mellichamp, who has been teaching in Pickens, returned home some* time since. Mrs. F. D. Thorn is visiting relatives in Longtown and Bryant. Rev. M.

Tuesday evening at the Thes >ian Hall the Luke school re )eated an entertainment that it 1ad given in the country a few iights before. Whether it was he good things that had been iaid about this entertainment, or whether it was the interest the Winnsboro people felt in the suc :ess of this venture on the part >f their visiting friends, there was an unusually large turn out, he size of which can best be de ermined by the door receipts Yhich amounted to about $50, hough the admission price was >nly 25 cents for adults and 10 ents for children. It might be ruthfully added that had the >eople of the town known what a ich treat there was in store for hem, the attendance would have een much larger, though as it vas it seemed that every family n town was represented. From >eginning to end the large audi nce was delightfully entertained )y the varying exercises of the vening. In every part it was learly demonstrated that the bhildren had been thoroughly rained for their respective parts. Che exercises refle ' e redit upon. the te M iss And here it should be added hat, while some may think that hese exercises cost too much ime from the regular work of the cheol and do not necessarily im ly that the Luke school has been loing good 'work in other respects, he News and Herald man has ;een some exhibits of the work of ;his school which reflect gr'eter 3redit upon the,. teacher and The shildren than did even this de .ightful entertainment. T hi i s work is now on exhibition at 'the ffice of the county board of edu :ation. and an examination of it 'ill convince anyone that the Luke school has a teaoher capa le of giving instruction along >rignaJ lines and pupils that are leeply interested in their work.

His was a very busy life; there were nearly always "men coming and going" about him. Many o us in our day know [what this con gestion of occupation is; we are swept off our feet with our en gagements, and can scarcely find time to eat. W e make this a reason for not praying; Jesus made it a reason for praying. Is there any doubt which i,, the better course? Many of the wisest have in this respect done as Jesus did. When Luther had a specially busy and exciting day, lie allowed himself longer time than usual for prayer beforehand. A wise man once said that he was too busy to be in a hurry. He meant that, if he allowed himself to become hur ried, he could not do all that lie had to do. There is nothing like prayer for producing this calm self-possession. When the dust of business so fills your room that it threatens to choke you, sprinkle with the water of prayer, and then you can cleanse it out with comfort and expedition. Rev. James Stalker. Once, when Mark Twain was to lecture in a small western town, -aga greeted ,at the statiokby .the sijniotor, who was to be his Kan-~t durihs1fe stay. On their way to the par sonage, the minister asked if it would be agreeable to Mark if he opened tile lecciure with prayer, as was the custom. Of course, the humorist was delighted, and accordingly, when they reached the hall that evening, the min ister left the lecturer sitting in the corner of the platform, took the centre of the stage himself and proceeded to offer a prayer about haf-an hour long, in the course of which he gave his views on all the current affairs of interest, and concludling by saying: "And now, O Lord, we have with us to-night a man who is known throughout all the world as the great Ameri can humorist. Help us, 0 Lord help us to understand what he is about to say to us, and to be amused by it; and, if possible, grant that we may derive some real benefit from his lecture." Argonaut. Sheriff'sSale.
