May honor and fame and riches be their poitioc. . Doubtless Superintendent of Education Martin is sour what displeased and chagrin* d by having the legislature complttelj ignore his uniimely ai d ui.wis. suggestion to I he effect that the Citadel be abolished. Instead of abo'ishing or doidg aught to- im pair its usefulness, the legislature haB ve.y properly wppomted a spe cial committee to iuvestigate tin net-ds of this splaitdid iustitution, with the view of acquiring addi tional property aud otherwise -nattering it3 equipment. When liquor was procurable iu Edgefield without let or bindraoce the mayor had on an average half a dozen negroes a week brought before him, charged with beiug drunk and disorderly. Since the dispensary closed not a single . negro has been arrested for drunkenness.

Winthrop Girls Won Vacation. The Advertiser is opposed to the granting of Christmas or mid-ses ' sion vacations ta the students of the etate colleges. First, because of the demoralization that is wrought by these interruptions of regular routine work. For several weeks prior to, as well as for some weeks subsequent to these vaca tion seasons, the work of the average student is unsatisfactory. Second, because a large percent age of these students are benefi ciaries of the state, students who are unable to educate themselves, and consequently can ill afford th? expense incident to spending these vacations one or two hun r.dred miles from the college. Mid session vacations were not regard : ed as a necessity a dozeu years ago, and college life is not any _jnore strenuous now than then. .However, as the Citadel and Clemson cadets are granted Christ mas leave for ten days, it is hard ly fair to discriminate against the Winthrop girls. Upon the priucj l pal of '"equal rights to all and " special privileges to none" the ' action of the"legislature in grant ing Christmas vacation to the Winthrop girls was not aruiss. Ssgietnates^Sign An Agreement. The farmers of Newberry coun ty have been greatly annoyed by ^having laborers violate their con tracts. In one inBtauce a negro en tered into contracts with seven teen different farriers, mo6t of whem-ms.de to him cash advances. The causs for this unusual preva lence of contract violation was found to be due to tho fact that so few viola tors were punished. When a negro was arraigned before a magistrate some farmer would step up and:, go on his bond or - :V pay him out. As a result the law had no terrors to them. In order to ?bate this evil,ali of the magis trates of Newberry ba\e signed au .

During the eDSui?g year ou account of hi? gallantry an< efficiency, he was promoted to th office of captai?. Whib attackinj the enemy at Calhoun, Ga., h was wounded in the right arm and received one iu the right ja^ which produced death after th lapse of years. So popular was b that wheu the conjunction wa made between ,the 24th. and ?ix teeuth regiments, he was mad Lieutenant Colonel by ^General J E. Johnso?. While commaudiuj the*left wing of the regiment h was agaiu wounded. It is said o Colonel Morgan that he was a gal laut soldier. ID 1866 during a revival at Gil gal church, conducted by the Rev D. D.

Owiug to the trouble and uncertainties of the times, he removed to Texas in order to re build his shattered iortuue, bu returned to his uative state afte an absence of only a year.

Mr. Editor: We aie not OD the war path, Deither are we io a con troversial mood, but we are actua ted to write this through a sense of feeli?g unduly neglected by the members composiDg the board bi county supervisors in not pro viding for sufficient repsirs ou tb? Clark's Hill bridge across Steven's Creek to make the bridge passable. We do not aek for an expensive, high bridge but we do ask for aud dumand a bridge thal will allow us to cro68 the creek without ruu uiDg the risk of life .to mao aod beast, as is the caso at present. This bridge has been for the past three or four years a daDgeroup trap. During this time several promises have been made us by these officials to rebuild thi* bridge, but the time a?d money seem to have beeo spent else where, aod we -are today ?D a somewhat pent up coDdition due to this negligence. Our mail is frequently a week old, due to this conditioo of thp bridge. We are forbiddeo to even attempt to haul fertilizers or any kiud of commercial articles acrosp it aud we candidly express that thp conditions here with reference to this bridge does not reflect any credit whatever on thpse county officials. Unless somethiug is doDe very toon towards repairing or're-build iog V.?H bridge there w-ill be a strong effort made to kuock the starch out of their garmeuts and put those iu power who will give us our promised dues. We go ap promptly as aoy other sectioD of citizeos and give up o ir barf' earned cash lo the public fund and we ?D returu ask for that onl> which justly beloogs tc us. Thf writer has volunteered to person ally superioteod the work, free of charge. We hope and trust tba i his matter of a bleediug shame as it DOW stands will be promptly looked after in amauner that will allow us to cross the creek with ?eas-. nable assurance of safety.
