$ * STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES. Siae Lights on Student Life- DIsting uished Visitors Expected. Columbia. March >:?We are fflad that the trying month of February lias passed and alontf with it those awful "exams," which all fear so much. We have now settled down to our second-term work with a vim : ind earnestness which cannot i do otherwise than mark our efi f*rts with success. We are expecting on the 19th in$t a visit from Dr Eliot, the ? venerable president of Harvard ' ^University. Dr Mitchell, our 4 president, who is now delivering 1 k series of lectures at Brown ^University, will also be here at that time, along with many of our alumni from all parts of the State. The faculties of all of the higher institutions of learning of the State have been invited to be with us on that day and we hope to have a time worthy of the dignitaries who will be present. The improvements of Carolina which have been planned by the board are rapidly becoming a realitv. The administration build ing will soon be ready for occupation and the erection of a new scieijce ball will be begun in the near future. Besides these two new and handsome buildings, there are plans for - many more that cannot be definitely stated yet. It is well known that Carolina is maintained solely by the I appropriations of the LegislaK ture and they have shown their B approval of our work by making W a generous appropriation this ^ past session. We assure these liberal-hearted men that for every dollar which they give to Carolina, the State will be amply repaid, not in dollars, but with a citizenship which can not be excelled by any other State in the Union, Dr D F Houston, president ot k Washington University at St 1 1X)U1S, win deliver uie turn^ mencement address here next June. Dr Houston is a native of L South Carolina and an alumnus of the old South Carolina ColWege. He is a man of whom the whole State may be proud, and, ^like many other alumni of the University, has made a record which is hard to beat. Mr Editor, judging the progress of Williamsburg county from the items whicli appear in I your columns, it is indeed mak| ing rapid strides in all lines, I especially educational and industrial, and this is what everyr one wishes to see. We have the assurance that within a few years, ours will be no less than Itne best coumy in ine cuaie. Since other men are expressing their opinion in regard to the prohibition question in your columns, I shall take the liberty, it it be allowed, to say, that I believe in State-wide prohibition; but since our wise and honorable Senate has failed to pass the bill, and since they have left it to the will of the people of each county, I think that the citizens of old Williamsburg should show at the ballot box this summer that they are [not below the par of any county, in wisdom or in purity, and blot this blighting stain from our history forever, i could give a thousand arguments, but need not. The cause speaks eloquently for itself. F li II. The New Magistrates. >r 1. FTU,?

Harpers, March 8: ? Harpers school closed last Friday, the 5th a j inst. Mrs L C C'oker, the most cffic- 1 ient teacher, held the exercises at *' | the Harpers Baptist church. There was a large attendance, it being an B nio-ht tlin weather fair and ST pleasant. The exercises were certain. ly fine. Seven small girls in rotation tl on the stage sang the greft and in- it spiring song, ''Dixie." Those words, V "In Dixie land I'll take my stand; b< I'll live aud die in Dixie," were sung o by the following named girls: Ada w Blake, Alice Pipkin, Edna Feagin p Gussie Camlin, Esther Albrooks, cl Thelma Marshall and Opal Mc- w Knight. After this the school chil- t? dren stood in a line with the letteis in on their breasts forming the word tl "w e L C O M e". The same girls v< appeared the second time on the w stage with the following letters on c< their breasts spelling "w a S h- di IKGTO N." The exercises were tl enjoyed by all and the children tc showed taleut and good traiuing, re- ti fleeting great credit on their popular rj teacher. All the patrons of our w school will join me in saving that w Mrs Coker is not exceeded in the di county as an instructor in the school ic room. She has the love and respect ui of her pupils and the friendship aud good will of all of the patrons of t( her school.

Since writing my few remarks in reference to the unfortunate accident ~ which befell little Willie Evans, the ^ brave lad has been called to his re- ^ ward. The mother and the entire family of the unfortunate youth have the deepest sympathy of the ^ community in their bereavement. I note with pleasure the slings of your Moody correspondent. I am ^ ' by his sayings like unto the old ^ darkey preacher who in his discourse ai from the pnipit saiu: -i am uiauaful that God did not make everybody of one mind. If He had, every man would have wanted to marry my wife."' The old deacon in the amen corner rose to order and said: "Yes, brother,I am glad He didn't make all men of one mind, because if everybody were of my mind no one would want the preacher's wife." So I am glad that my mind and your Moody correspondent's, or "Red Coon's' miud are not one; because if he had beeu of my mind no one would be living at Moody. People who move to Moody and live there a short while become a red coon or some * other kind of animal. Subscriber. t Auction Sale of Lots.
