In many Methodist churches through out this country special ser vices were held in celebration of the two-hundredth anni versary of the birth of that great and good man,the foun der of the Methodist church. THE board of trustees of, Furman university has made a very fortunate selec tion in electing Dr. E. M. Po teat president ot that institu tion. Although at present pastor of one of the principal churches in Philadelphia he was born in North Carolina and educated at Wake Forest and the [Southern Baptist Theological seminary. Dr. Poteat will take up the work where the illustrious Mon tague left oft*, making of Fur man one of the foremost schools of its kind in the south. ?T is said that only four of the sixty graduates from Clemson college this year will follow farming. This is very unfortunate, for the country needs more model farmers men who have studied farm ing from a scientific stand point. It is presumed that those w h o graduate from Clemson, where theory and practise to go hand in hand, would make model farmers. This is a splendid institution but it seems not to be accom plishing the purpose for which it was founded if less than io per cent of its graduates re turn to the farm. Possibly this is an unusual class and that a greater percentage of former graduates have be^ THE Town Council has been formally notified by the purchasers of the school bonds that their attor neys, after a thorough inves tigation of the matter, are sat isfied that the law has been complied with and have pro nounced the bonds valid. This formally closed the very perplexing and seemingly never ending bond transact ion. The bonds will be re ceived in Edgefield on tomor row or the next day for the proper signatures. They will be returned at once and a check will be forwarded for them. Now for the erection of the college building ! ??We trust that no time will be lost by the building committee in arranging with Contractor Spencer tor the work to be gin at once. Let the grojnd be broken^at the first possible moment and let the work be carried forward with as much dispatch as possible. It means a great deal to the school, consequently to the town, that the building be ready by the opening of the next session. AN unsuccessful attempt .---was made in Charlotte last week to form a trust of the southern yarn mills. While individuals and corpo rations have a moral and le gal right to combine their in terests for mutual benefits, we nevertheless look with disfavor upon such combina tions of capital. Had Lord Bacon lived in this day and generation he would have said, money, instead of know ledge, is power. Combina tions of unlimited capital car ry with them nnlimited pow er, which, oftentimes, is fla grantly abused. It is alleged that oil mills regulate thc price of seed and should the cotton mills devise some wa) .ofrlxing the price of cotton, then the farmers for protec tion, will have to pool theil interests. The latter, unfor tunately, are so thoroughly imbued with the idea of every man "toting his own skillet'' that no combination could be effected among them. The trust evil has become so gen eral and gigantic that we are inclined to distrust aU, tiusts. whether good or bad. JOHNSTON. Happenings nf Interest from Our Neighboring Town, Miss Hunter D. Lott left for Birmingham,Ala.,on Tuesday last. On Friday evening Mrs. Lacas Walker entertained in honor of M?6S Spearman, of Newberry.

Plum?; are uuusually fine-some are larger than a guinea egg-and the prices are good. Candidates are also abundant; when we weigh the salary against the uncertainty of our firmers' revenue, we are only surprised that more are not in the field. It was our pleasant privilege to dine at the hospitable home of Capt. Clinton Ward on the loth and witness the mammoth rail road picnic. About 15 hundred people were present and a more quiet, well behaved crowd we never saw. Everybody seemed to have a nice time. It waB a pleasure to greet Capt. Brooks, Mr. John Lott and Mr. Van Meter. It was at the beautiful home of the latter that we wer? entertained during our re cent visit to Columbia as weil ab at the home of Mr. Jim Mobley. We beheld 34 animals stretched across the pit; pickles, potatoes and tomatoes, by the bushel,bread, ice, in fact every thing in abun dance, and it was all good for we snared the good things sent oy.-r to the house to Capt.
