It makes the taking of a newspaper, and refusing to pay for the same, thelt, and any per- j son guilty of such action is liable to j criminal proceedings the same as if he j had stolen goods to the amount of the subscription. It is, therefore, not a very shrewd scheme to take a newspaper from the post office for a year i and then refuse to pay for it. Meetixg Pcstpoxed.?We are requested to state that the railroad meeting announced to be held on the first Monday in July, has been postponed till the lirst Monday in August. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance of the taxpayers and others interested.

Base Ball.?There was a regular | ma'ch game of base ball played on the j *" ? mi J3 ( C9liege green ou j.uursuu\ uvwimg, j between the Regulars and a picked up j nine of young men styled by their! opponents the "Ragtails".

SpOllSe 10 a can puuusueu auuie ?ctrk.;3 | ago through our columns, the citizens j interested in our graded school met in the Town Hall on Tuesday. After i some discussion it was decided to levy a tax of of 1? mills on all taxable prop-1 ertv in the township to support the I school for the next year. This is the ! usual levy, and, we presume, will j meet with the approval of all good J citizens. Complimextary.?In speaking of: the sermon of the Rev. J. T. Chalmers j before the Young Men's Christian j Association, of the South Carolina i College 011 Sunday last, -the Register [ says : No abstract of this masterful dis-! course could convey any just conception of its character, but we believe that all who heard it will agree that it was one of remarkable power and beauty, and the few who recall the many able sermons within these classic walls will agree thai no finer presentation of the great theme has been made here sincc the days of Dr. Thornwell. Death of a Prominent Man.?Intelligence was received here on Mon- i day of the death of Mr. J. M. McNeel, I a promising member of the Chester bar. He had been suffering from Bright's disease for some months, and iiuuui nvy ccus nv,ui. w | Atlanta for treatment. He died in | that placc on Saturday. Mr. McXeel; was the county chairman of the Ches- j ter Democracy, and was one of the most promising attorneys at the bar. j He had many friends in this county j who were sorry to learn of his early j decay. The Xew Hope Graded School.? ! As will be seen from a communication j in another column, the closing exer-j cises of this flourishing school will! tal-p on the 2nd Julv.

W. Fkatiikrsto.v, Secretary, j OVElKiUOWN* Newsi'ateks. ? The j Philadelphia Record makes some sen- ; sible remarks with regard to over- j grown newspapers. Tlie majority of i readers want winnowed news. They do not like to search iluotigh a pnge of j padding to lind a paragraph 01 nicr. This applies especially to busy men, who must almost literally read as they run. Condensed news and curt cuinmetits thereupon can be taken in along with the morning coffee and toac?, and the reader rises from hi* breakfast in possession of all the news of the day. lland him a sheet fuli of long articles, and he will not find time to read more than one of them, if he does that. This is what makes a paragraphic paper like Tim-: Xkws and IIkuami so popular. PKA?;ODV SciiOLAKsnii'S.?TIJC SUperin ciulcut of Education lias issued a circular to She foiiowiijg rtUct: A* competitive examination l'or the IVabodv scholarships in the National Normal College will be held in Greenville, on Wednesday, August 2.5, beginning at 10 a. m. Seven scholarships will be 3warded. The State Normal Institute for white teachers will be in session in Greenville at the time of tiie rumination. He would earnestly recommend applicants for scholarships to enroll themselves as regular pupils of the institute at the beginning of the session, as they will be greatly aided in acquiring such knowledge as will enable Uieill lo JKISS Uiu CAilLLJlliUUUU 9UWV9Sful* i(l will also receive the benefit of the reduced rates of transportation offered to pupils of the institute. Tiie Cost of the Change of Gauge, i ?It has at last been figured out that j i the net cost of the change of gaugej on the 12,ol8 miles of lines is $1,350,- j 12G. While this is a large sum of ; money, it is small in comparison with j the benefits which will result from the j expenditure. This amount would build and equip only fifty-four miles or new roan ai an average cust ui i $25,000 per mile, and yet many i times this sum has been squandered | in building parallel roads which the | country did not need, and whose construction resulted in permanent loss to existing roads. The establishment of a practically uniform gauge throughout the country will be worth many millions, particularly to the South, and will be paid for in a comparatively short time. , Fairfield in tiie College.?The : Fairfield students in the South Carolina College have taken their usual i fine stand in their different classes < during the session just closed. Mr. John J. McMahan attained the ! degree of Bachelor of Arts, with honors, and delivered on Commencement Day an essay which was universally' commendec". as a thoughtful, -original and able production. Mr. McMahan won the medal for the best article contributed to the Collegian during the past session. He had quite a number of i competitors. Mr. McMahan has been appointed tutor in the department, of j ancient languages?a position which 1 he will fill with credit to himself ana j. usefulness to the College. Messrs. W. D. Donglass and Fitz j Hngh McMaster attained proficiency: in their several classes. Mr. W. D. Douglass was chosen as ! "junior orator" of the Enphradian 1 Society, and delivered an oration on j the subject, "Cerebral phenomena and i their explanation." The address i showed talent and careful preparation, j and it was delivered in a style at once easy and effective. Hailkoad News.?Our esteemed contemporary, the Charlotte Observer, says: "Railroadmen inform us that on Julv 4th, there will be some con siderable changing around in railroad j circlcs. General Manager E. D. | Thomas, of the Richmond & Danville, i is set down as a mover, aud his object seems to be to rob the Atlantic Coast Line of as much of the through travel between the North aud South as possible. It is said to be a positive fact that double daily trains are to be put on I the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta j road, and the track between Charlotte j aud Augusta is to be put in first class | order, new steel rails having been ! ordered. When the double daily j service begins on this road, the trains J will be run through from Charlotte to Savannah. It is reported that a new through last mail and passenger train will be put on the line between Charlotte and Washington, making three trains per day on the Richmond & Danville, two of these to be through j passenger and mail, and one local, "it | will not surprise us to see all of these j | confirmed, for the Richmond <fc Dan- ! ! ville is not only reaching out for busi-1 ! ucss. but intends to have it." >fotv Again Another Hartford 3Ian Wins. Occasionally a Hartford man is a winner, and it is likely to be made in the Louisiana State Lotten*. Only a short i time ago a lad named Duffy drew ?5,000, j and the maney was promptly forwarded to ! him. And now Benjamin F.

A. Rich rnoiid, a former citizen of South Carolina, who had met with remarkable success in his profession in that city. The Columbia lteyister of same date gave an account of the same affair. but o-nvp flip name Dr. S. A. Richmond. Dr. Richmond, of South Carolina, was originally from Fairfield, and has a brother, our present chairman of the board ot Couniv Commissioners, and many reletives in town. As onr two leading dailies had each given a different name, neither of which was the name of Dr. Richmond, of South Carolina, a relative of this place on Monday telegraphed the mayor ot St. Joseph who the murderer was. The reply of the mayor was received ujc same evening, u.uu kuvc uiu name Dr. S. A. Richmond, a patent medicine man who sold "Samaritan Nervine". The man of whom our esteemed contemporary speaks is Dr. -John M. Richmond, who is one of the most prominent physicians of St. Joseph. We hope our contemporary will correct the mistake, as Dr. John. M. Richmond has many friends and reletives in this State who will believe he is dead unless it is corrected. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly fouJcly.?"Camping Out" is an attractive subject in this weather, whether you try the experiment yourself or visit more heroic friends who tell vuii that it revives Paradise. W. P. Stephens's article in the.Popular Monthly, with its breezy pictures, certainly tempts one to try ir. Liszt, the great pianist and composer, is so widely known that this sketch of him comes in very aptly as an introduction to the article by Dr. Pearce on "Modern Music Schools," full of notes of the past and suggestions for the present. "A Turkish Dinner 011 the Nile" is a pleasant traveler's sketch. In "Old AV'ells" W. E. McCann discourseth like an oldci! essayist on the charms of pure water, though he censures poets for preferring wine and ale. "A Tnnr Thrmicrh "Normandy" is one of the homelike bits of travel j ust suited to the season. Kicaurte, a South American hero, finds a fitting niche. ' Higher Education in Indiana," a very interesting account of four great institutions in that State, shows that it ranks high indeed in its University life. Ernest Ingersoll takes us to the "Headwaters ot the James," and the charming series of pictures tempts one to their cool and breezy realities. "Weighing Machines," by Abbott, will give much curious information to most readers. The stories in the July 1 - x* .-wt- T nt* lumiuei- oj JCraiih. jucsiic o jl Monthly are like the articles?bright, breezy, just suited to reading in the sultry days. Recent Decisions.?On Friday last the judgment of the Supreme Court was filed in the case of Pearson et al. vs. Yongue, taken up from this,county. The judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed, 011 a question of practice, without touching the merits?the title to the land now in possession of defendant. Messrs. Ragsdale & Rags dale represented the defendant-appellant, and Col. Rion the plaintiffs-respondents. Judge Fraser has filed his judgment in each of the cases following, heard by him at the June term: Sancho Ruff vs. TV. R. Doty & Co.? action to set aside a judgment taken by the defendants against the plaintiff, on the ground of surprise, excusable neglect, etc. Motion refused, and complaint dismissed. Mr. D. A. Straker for the plaintiff, Messrs. Douglass & McCants for the defendants. Cornelius Addison vs. Dennis Rice and Others?action to reopen a certain judgment of foreclosure, and readjust the rights and interests of the parties. Certain of the defendants, represented by Messrs. Lyles and Haynsworth and Andrew Crawford, Esq., demurred to the complaint on the ground that "it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action." Judge Fraser overrules the demurrer. The plaintiff is represented by Samuel W. Melton, Esq. T.;iin \r Arnhlov ft. n7 vs. Winnie Davis and Others. The plaintiffs, claiming under the will of John Mobley, deceased, sought to divide the land in dispute among these thereto entitled under such will. The defendant Davis claimed title to the land, notwithstanding the will. Judge Fraser surtains her title, and dismisses the complaint Messrs. McDonalds & Douglass represented the plaintiffs, and Col. Eion the defendant Davis. The State Convention. The following is the call for the Democratic State Convention to assemble in Columbia on the 4th of August: A Convention of 'the Democratic party of the State of South Carolina will be held at Columbia on "Wednesday, August 4, 1886, at 12 m., in the Hall of the House of Representatives, for the following purposes: 1. To nominate candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor and for other State officers. 2. To clect the State Democratic Executive Committee, to serve for the ensuing two years. 3.

The closing exercises of the Xew Hope Graded School will take place on -July 2nd. The occasion will be a most interesting one as will be SCCll o ? from the programme. Col. Coward, our State Superintendent will be present and deliver au address. Col. Coward is so well and favorably known throughout the State as a polished gtntleman, a superior scholar and an excellent speaker that the mere r??AfA?AA i^tnvAc cnnpncc fr\ j liiui- VI iIJLO [Jl luouivc kJUOVwv;^ ?.w j the entertainment and a rare treat to | all who attend. The school i.s to bo congratulated on its good fortune in securing such a speaker. "We also expect our County Superintendent to be present and also favor us with an address. The scholars of the school will also participate in the exercises. Their exercises will consist in declamations, music and calesthenics. The school has an excellent piano and the pupils perform remarkably well for youthful learners. They have been in practice for some time, and their portion of the programme will be especially interesting. After these exercises win co me tne regular picnic, at which the bodilywants will be abundantly provided lor. All are cordially invited to be present with us 011 the 2nd Ju ly, and all who come can rest assu red that they will be abundantly repaid. We are anticipating a pleasant occasion The Causes of Our Poverty. Messrs. Editors'. Please publish the following synopsis of an address at Furman University by Mr. Busbee, oT Raleigh. He explains the causes of continued poverty in the South so clearly that even fools need no longer doubt. x. Mr. Busbee's address was upon the condition of the South in its industries and practical life. The causes of a want ot satisfactory progress were not hard to find. Those sections show the greatest improvement where the white population have gone hardest to work with their own hands. The two great obstacles in the path of Southern proi gress are a want of individual thrift and false views upon the subject of ! manual labor. To select at random one hundred each of Southern and Northern families you would find that the Northern families would in their daily household labor do, at least, double the manual labor, and the Southern families would have at least double che number of household servants. The speaker paid due attention to the same want of thrift among the farmers of the Caroiinas and the South, describing with great accuracy the small farmer imitating the wealthy lord and spending his time in superintending a two-horse crop, performing no labor himself, being imbued with the feeling, hereditary, inbred for many generations, that manual labor is not a fit occupation for a gentleman. In this line of thought the speaker held the riveted attention of his audi ence for an hour. His eloquence has never been surpassed in a commencement speech Jn Greenville, and the people who heard him were overcome with the power of the splendid address. OPENING THE CAMPAIGN. Meeting of the Democratic County Executive Committee?A Call for a Convention?Other Matters.
