Wednesday, May ic, 1905. The Ridgeway club is contri buting to the increase of birds ii that section by paying nice price for the heads of hawks and crows which destrby so many eggs o partridges and other birds. It i. a pity that there are not simila: organizations in all parts of tha county to make possible thi increase of all kinds of birds which are not only valuable a game, but also destroy thousand and thousands of insects ever; year. Within another mouth all tb schools in the county will clos( Parents are especially urged t, have their children continue t, the end whenever possible. It i a mistaken notion to think tha attendance the last month is no worth while. As a matter of fac there is no month that counts fo more during the whole year thai this last month in that it teache the child the great value of stick ing to the end, a lesson that i needed to be deeply impressed i: all the walks of life. We have received an invitatio to the commecement exercises c Clemson Qollege June 1-5. Th baccalaureate sermon will b preached by Dr. Scherer, presi (lent of Newberry Coliege, an< the address to the graduatiD class will be made by Dr. H. 3 Snyder, president of Woffor< College. Two Winnsboro boy are in the graduating class-T. E Elliott, Jr., and R. F. Gooding the latter being president of th, senior class and one of the threi speakers from his class on com mencement day. On account of the continuou rains of the past two weeks th'er, still remains much cotton to b, planted. While the farmers ar decidedly behind with their plant ing, the cotton which has bee: planted is up beautifully an along with it a fine crop of grass It begins to look like a provi dential cutting down of acreage This is a time for an applicatio: of the old adage, "A bird in th hand is worth two in the bush. The wise farmer will give mor attention to taking care of wl has been planted than to try t< continue planting with no hop of gettirng the cotton worked. We overlooked the fact in on last issue that the note on ou inside sheet in regard to th parties arrested at Kershas charged with taking part in th lynching of Morrison, did no tell also of their release. A the preliminary hearing in Lan caster, there was no evidence fo holding these parties, who wer< arrested on warrants sworn b Howie, who was formerly a dis pensary constable; and so the: were all released. From all th< information that can be had Howie resorted to unjustifiabla means to work up the pretenc< of evidence that he had. To Encourage Fruit Growving. In our issue of two weeks ag< there was a note in regard to th< purchase of fruit trees from agenti traveling through the country who ask several prices for the trees in small cg".tities. A suggested therein the extravaga prices charged by these agent: make it out of the question t< buy any trees for the home or fo setting out an orchard for :narke purposes. it is still our purpose as announced then, to assist th< people of every section of th county to get their fruit trees a wholesale'prices by having alIl t' order together. While we hav' not yet made arrangements fo the purchase of these trees, ye we can assure our friends through out the county that we shall b able to save the~m a considerabl sum in the purchase of their frui trees. At an early date we shall pre pare a list of the different vanre ties that are best suited for th< various seasons and also give ih< prices of the samne. The penel trees we ordered last year for: number of parties l'ate in th< season cost only ic. each to trees 4 to (3 feet high and och~ 3c. each for' June buds 2 to 8 fee high. This season we hope t make our order large enough tt get the peach trees even at a les price and other trees at propor tionate prices. In order to ac commodate thM people of the whole county io as large a mleas. ure as possible in this natte~r growing fruit for hom~e and im the market, we shall deve the trees to varioas p)oints in th as compared with those usually charged by fruit tree agents sug Pest the wiz'dom of all, who ex pt. to buy trees, to act in con- ti cert. Of For a Boarding School. tbi W chave frEquently attempted ea to sliow the wisdom of establish- ea 1i? a first-class boarding depart ement in connection with the Mt. Zion Institute. As an illustra- Co tion that there is a demand for tu such a school we cite the fact ce that only a few days ago the trus- be tees of Wofford College decided f to add .9Y,000 in the way ofT equipping the Wofrord College Fitting School, which has had an attendance during the past year an of more than 150" students, over a 100 of whom havo been in the boarding department. Just last th week the citizens of Rock Hill b held a meeting and decided to M give financial backing to the Catawba Military Academy.: ce which under its present manage- th fo ment has had two very successfal years. Further proof of the W4 Ierhand for such schools is shown lit in the fact that the school at . Orangeburg, which had to be m closed aboat two years ago, was P Iu opened again last fall and has s had a successful year. The% f Carlisle Fitting School at Bam berg, the S. C. C. I. at Edgefield, s and the Welch Neck High School as at Hartsvillk, all of which are il preparatory h-igh school,s have 0w had a prosperous year. It is a W noteworthy fact that this increase to of students has not been due to .m any decrease in tuition or board. t" Rather to the contrary, it has been the policy of all these boarding schools to charge high- S' er prices so as to insure better i facilities. Still further proof ti that there is a demand for schools s doing high grade preparatory work is to be found in the fact that in all the larger cities there are private school which are an receiving good patronage. col With the unquestionable de- Il mand there is for high grade "*i prepar-itory schools, there is no doubt about it that boarding stu dents could easily be obtained for Mt Zion, if it only had the accommodations for them. Al- L. ready it has one of the very best m 3 bigh school departments in the sh State, as is evidenced by the be record of its pupils in the vari ous colleges to which they go, no It less so at the present than in the fif Spast. With an increase Cf one se teacher in the high school depart- bI ment at least forty additional ge pupils could be taught therein pl without there being any over- si Scrowding. It would very mate-- fo Srially strengthen the work of the ci1 high school department to have :Al Sstudents coming into 't froma the .nr toutside, as the invar'able result pr of this bringing in of outside pt Spupils is to awakes a spirit of TI competition among the pupils, ini which results in better work. at SFurthermore, with a larger num- In 'ber of pupils debating societies a Scould be had and other organiza- re Stions that would tend to strength- fo Sen the interest cf the pupils in ta the school work. th Such a boarding department, ab however, cannot be sustained ca rwithout having a dormitory for at taking care of. the pupils who come from beyond the town. With mi this need supplied there is a pos- fo: sibility of Mt. Zion again taking be Sthe first place among the board- "E ing schools of the State. -As a of business enterprise there is no " investment that would bring bet- At ter returns to the town in every lot way than an investmeint of $5,000 ea in dlormitories to make the board- th ing department possible. Thle si< )business men of Winnsboro th should take this matter up and pu Snush it to success. There are un great possibilities in such an en- th terp)rise, the successful carrying in mut of which wo1iA not only in-, ar: smie the strengthening of the en -home schond, but incre~ase the in- to terests of the people of this comn in mu~nity in the historic iustluution.u whicihais ever been it, pride. ad It there is any doubt about the wisdomn of iu-,esting money in rn bioarding schools, it needs only [ to be cited that whenevera school el that is already established desires ap a ne w location, competitive bids ex from various towns, offering sites and donations, come in freely. Tlds is also true in regard to the establiishment of a school that tie has any organization backing it, thi that makes it promise success. If other towns are so anxious to an secure new schools or schools th that are desiring removal, Winns- Cc boro should not fail to take ad vantage at this time of enlarging ~her scheol. If she fails to take Of act ion now to meet the rapidly Cc increasing demand for high grade b boarding schools, other towns Mi will push in ahead of her and get (re the prize. p___________ Cleared for Action.

In 1852, in Taledega, Ala., Patsic Eloise Woodward, daughter of H oin. John J. Woodward, became the wife of the late Dr. William E. Aiken. He brought her to Winnsboro, a beautiful bride of scarce eighteen sunmilers beautiful in person, Inore bea'tifll far inl character. For more than fifty years, she lived in the geographical heart of Wilu boro, and in the real heart of her puo Iple. Inl the truest sense, she was the beau ideal of a wife, and nother and friend. To the man, whose naie sht bore, she was always the sweetheart o 3 his youth, and so loving to her was li 'that he might not beteen tile winds of heaven visit her face too roughly.' 3 To her children, she was the incar - nation of gentleuess, patience and love and with all, a willing vicarious sacri 1 flice. To her friends and neighbors, he: t goodness was an inspiration, and he: s spotless life a benediction. In her g modesty and purity blended like th( white and red in the bosom of the rose .
