TERMS, TN ADvANCE : One Year,............................ t-50 Six Montbs....................... .. .75 WINNSBORO, S. C. Friday, April 26. -- - 1901 England is having no trouble in making her war loan. That has been the case with the United States. It would be better for better countries if the matter were of some trouble. The city of Florence is discuss ing water works. The time has come when this public improve ment is necessary to every town. Winnsboro should not be satis fied till she is fully in the line of progress in this matter. The fact that Maj. Evans can not be tried till next spring on account of his kinship to the judges that will preside over the Richland court is a good argu ment against the having so many of the same family in the same office. e action of the State Pension Board i tirning'down the negro applicants is deservedly just. Many of these old negroes did, it is true, good service for the sol dier doys. But the object of the pensions is to supply the wants of the old veterans. Keep the money in its proper channel. Senator Tillman-Senator McLaurin is a Senator McLaurin-Senator Tillman is'. There will be hot times on the hust ings next year-Bamberg County Times. Between whom? Certainly not Tillman and McLaurin. The senior senator will be out of the senatorial race. The people will want to hear the debate between the real candidates. We are strictly opposed to a lots of the foolish sentimentality in regar" to sectional books. But we hear~dy approve the action ol the Pensacola school for forcing of the principals in the schooli of that city, for attempting to in ject his northern ideas into th program for decoration day. Hi lack of good sense and prope propriety in this matter mani fsted his unfitness for the schoc room. In connection with the pro .posed club we quote the follow' ing paragraph from a letter fron J. E. Norment, the traveling cor respondent of the News an< Courier, in regard to the club a Darlington: "Our club has several stroni points that are very popular, al -of which have been potent factor in ~rmanently establishing it a a ue. To be brief, thes points are: Having it open daily until the lights are on, to th ladies, with a room for the ladie to hold any meeting in they car to have; the rooms are alway open to the business men alsc and this keeps up their interest a very necessary feature. Th ministers are all honorary memu bers, and they are pleased wit] the club and with the manage ment. The library feature is als< a very strong point and positivel; no drinking is allowed in th rooms. Our club is now abou twelve years old and I have neve seen this rule violated. I hear< one of out- most active and con scientious ministers say a fe, years ago, that he considered thii club the most active agency fo good among the young men il Darlington. Your business me: will surely find it one of the bes investments for attracting and re taining the kind of new businesi material that may be seeking place for home and work. Th< sole aim of our club has been t< give the proper sort of recreation amusement and instruction tha we all need and require, and wi think that we have. admirabl: succeeded." It is a club to meet simila wants that Winnsboro is now t< organize. It should meet wit] strong encouragement and shouk be made a success. The following have been ap pointed from South Carolina ai lieutenants in the regular army Thaddens B. Seigle, Lawrence S Carson, Clarence S. Nettles Joseph C. Hardin, Edmond R Tompkins, adWilliam P. Craw ford. FAILS TO SPECIFY. The following paragraph oc curred in the News and Herald of last week: The Inter-Collepate Athletic Asso ciation is up against a problem of no small proportions in its effort to keep hired players off of college teams. One game t week has already been called off because of the charge that one of the teams had hired payers. This incident and these constant explanations of de feat by means of hired players ar. giv ing inter-collegiate athletics in this State the black eye. Certainly these charges and counter-charges through the press and through letters will do the cause of college education no good. The Associate Peformed Pres byterian comments on it as fol lows: The two clubs referred to are Clemson and Furman, but the reader is left in the dark by this editor who demands of other papers that names be used in all cases, but fails himself to so specify. From another paragraph in that pa r the reader would infer that Erskmne was one of the teams referred to, which is not the case. There was no need to specify in the above as it contained no in sinuations. It was a mere state ment of an incident in connection with what has become to be a general evil. The following is the other paragraph from The News and Herald alluded to: Whenever Erskine is booked for a game of ball, the local editor of the As sociate Reformed Presbyterian whoops the boys up in advance with "Erskine has no hired players as some other col lege teems." It is not very charitable for a religious press to insinuate thus; it ought to specify. Why not let Ers kine purify the Inter-Collegiate Ath leticsiation, which regulates these contests? How Editor Galloway or any one else could infer from this that Erskine is charged by us with having hired players is more than we can see-and certainly other than we intended. The suggestion that one mem ber of an organization go to work to purify another or others does not imply that that member itself is not pure. Certainly purity in college athletics is a thing that all desire to see. Much can be done to effect this by those col. leges which have no hired teams re to play with those that have. Erskine or any other one of the six colleges composing the association can do incalculable good by this step. The step has already been taken in more thai one instance. Let it be con tinued till college athletics be. Scharges and countercharges c Shired players. - We accept the correction as ti Sthe number of times these insinu a ations have been made by th r Presbyterian. The fact that th - insinuation was made just one 1 as the Presbyterian itself admit needs explanation. Specification are still in order. What institu - tions of the association wer - meant by "some other colleges? 1 The following paragraph copie< - from the same paper, so remarka I ble for charity and so free froz t insinuations, is a tickler to b sure: W e suggest, however, that th I "charity" of the Editor of the Newi s and Herald is so broad, and his bri Slancy in editing ametropolitan journs is so manifest, that the colleges tur Sover this matter to him for proper at , justment. SMetropolitan journal! 0 Bcourse. All journals from Smetropolis-and surely Winrn a boro is one-are metropolita1 " But as .great as is the taskc editing such a journal we could a Sleast take one step towards th p roper adjustment of college atli Slet ics, viz., the ruling out al - teams insinuating' hired player Son the part of others and refus ' ing to specify. Additional step Swould be unnecessary. IA WEDDING AT RIDUEWAY. v ( The State, April 25th.) * Ridgeway, April 24.-At th r residence of Mr. C. P. Wray Mis 1 Nannie Edmunds and Mr. Geo.'Ij 1 Wilds will be united in marriage 6 Rev. 5. L. Freeman, the Baptis - minister, officiating. Miss Ed a munds is a daughter of the lat i Howell Edmunds and is wel 'known in Columbia, having livet there for the past four or fly years. Mr. Wilds is one of Long t town's progressive and prosperou planters. MODERN STORE BUILDINGS. e Two wooden store houses-ol< landmarks of the town-have beo: torn down this week to mak< room for modern brick stori houses. Messrs. Ruff & Co. wil build a handsome two-story bric. -structure, 45 by 125 feet. The Sfront will be of pressed brick an< : pate glass windows. Meusrs .ry& Co. will build a smalle: ,store adjoining the bank building -Farmers report poor stands a -corn and very little cotton planted BRYANT AND LONCTOWN. Our farmers are now busily engaged planting cotton. The acreage will probably exceed last year's somewhat. Most of the upland corn has been planted; Corn planted in March has not cone up to a good stand yet. I fear some of the earlier planting will have to be planted over, especially that planted before the heavy rain in March. Gardening is progressing nicely. Peas, Irish potatoes, cabbage, onions, etc., are looking well. Mustard, lettuce, etc., are now ready for table use. Watermelon patches have in some instances been planted. Mr. Edward Haynes died at his home in Longtown on Tuesday. He had been in a declining state of health for several years. Pneu monia, however, was the immedi ate cause of his death- He was quite an old man, having prob ably reached or exceeded the allotted age of man, three score and ten. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon. Rev. J. E. Jones conducted the funeral services in a most solemn and impressive manner. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones. Mr. Leon Rosboro visited the Bryant and Longtown schools this week. Mr. S. McCormick attended Bethel Presbytery at Lancaster last week. Mrs. D. W. Tidwell has re turned home after a very pleasant visit to relatives at Hopkins. Mrs. Crawford left for Columbia yesterday to visit relatives, after which she will leave for Charles ton. Rev. J. L. Freeman will preach at the chapel Friday evening, the 26th inst. Mr. S. McCormick of Columbia spent last Sunday at home in Longtown. We are glad to State the fruit crop is safe. Hope we will not have any cold hereafter sufficient to injure it. This is a rainy day; it looks'as if we are going to have a rainy spell. The rain will be beneficial to the grain. D. H. E. Apri 1 1901. "Marry in April whe you can SJoy for maiden and or man." - At the home of the brides 8 mother, Mrs. S. E. Blair, on Wed B nesday, April 17th, at 2 o'clocl B p. in., Mr. J. A. Wesberry, of Co. S lumbia, and Miss Minnie Fan 5 Blair, of Blairs, were united ii - marriage by the Rev. R. N. Prati B of Columbia. 'All the morning fair young i forms flitted from room to room - fastening a spray of ivy here or i lila. there, for all must be in read 8 iness for the all-crowning momen of their dear young friend's life : How well their efforts were re awarded, your correspondent car -j testify, for seldom is a prettie: sight seen than the parlor wai - with its decoration of ivy an< lilacs, with the sun's bright rays f hid and all lighted up by artificia a light. - Promptly at 2 o'clock thE . bridal party entered in the fol. f lowing order: .t Mr. G. L. Bray and Miss Salli4 e Whitney, quickly followed by Mr - J. A. Wesberry and Miss MinniE 1 Fant Blair, with Miss Alise Wes. Sber as maid of honor, and Mr -JH.Irbyr as best man. As thej took their places, the Rev. R. N Pratt stepped quietly forward and in a few earnest, well choser words made them man and wife. As soon as congratulations were over all were ushered into thE dining room where an abundance of everything to tempt the appe. tite was served. Here too, thE '.decorations were ivy and lilac with violets artistically scattered over the entire surface of the table. SThe bride and her maids were elegantlyT dressed in white organ. diesand hitesatin ribbons witl: white lilacs and pearls as orna -ments. SSeldom does a bride have such a day,-it seemed that nature was trying to out-do friends. Surely the sun never did shine sc bright, or birds sing so sweet. rThe bride was deservedly popu lahr as was manifested by the many handsome presents, too numerous to mention. a She will be sadly missed by her many friends and ~relatives, espe. cially in the home circle where .she was the pet and favorite. - The bridal p arty returned to .Columbia on the 8 o'clock train, accompanied by the best wishes ,of many relatives and friends. BLAIR NOTES. Thinking, perhaps, some of the f readers will be interested in the $ bappenings within and surround- u ing our little "city" your Blair corresondent, after quite a long t absence, again knocks at the door of your sanctum. Winter has at last given way to the glad spring-time, and the farmers are now busily engaged planting their crops. Gardening , is also an order of the day. This is the most hopeful season , of a farmer's life, and many, no doubt, are already happily antici pating ten cents for their cotton this fall; but I trust our farmers have been more sensible this1901 and are farming on a firmer basis, r that is, planting more corn and other things and less cotton-with well filled barns a farmer can better brave the disappointments caused by the low price of cotton. i I agree with your Myrtle corre spondent regarding the fact that , our farmers' boys could, were i they inclined to do so, find more 1 time for reading and improving their minds. It is decidedly a mistaken idea that a farmer does not need an education; brains and brawn united can accomplish much, so take advantage boys of rainy days and spare moments. Owing to the recent heavy rains very little bottom land corn has been planted in this section. Cupid, by his artful means, has succeeded in captivating one of our most popular young ladies. On Wednesday afternoon, the 17th inst., Miss Minnie Fant Blair, of Blairs, and Mr. Henry Westberry, of Columbia, were united in the bonds of matrimony, the Rev. R. N. Pratt officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Westberry left on the evening train for Columbia, their future home. Mrs. W. T. Glenn, of Chappells, after a week's visit to her sister, Mrs. J. K. Ragsdale, has returned home. Mrs. Nat. Holly, of Union, en route to Florida, stopped over a few days last week with Mrs. Ragsdale. Miss Augusta Salyes now has charge of a school at Mr. W. B. Wright's. Miss Carrie Suber, after a few weeks' visit to her sister in Ches ter, is at home again.
