But, gentle Annie, with our changeable climate the bile soon begins to accumulate, ana where love was what made the young man happy before, it takes H. H.

Closing Exercises of the Mount TvcTiTr-np ?Thp -final o.Yamina JU tion of the different grades and classes of pupils began on Wednesday, June 22nd, and continued through Thursday, June 30th. These examinations were written, and embraced in most cases all the studies gone over during the year, and were very exhaustive in their character. The results were highly creditable to most of the pupils, only a few in the various grades having failed in being promoted. In many instances the examination papers were characterized by more than ordinary neatness of execution, and accuracy and fulness of statement. On Friday the Fresident, after read ing the names of those promoted, congratulated the students on their remarkably good conduct during the entire session, stating that out of 193 pupils, no case of senous discipline had been necessary. Dr. Boyd, our efficient School Commissioner, was present and by request of the President, addressed the pupils in a pleasing style, giving them some excellent practical advice as to their conduct in life. Then came the closing song and the parting wishes for a pleasant vacation. If You "Want a Good Article . Of Plug Tobacco, ask your dealer for Jan2-2xt6m "Old Kip." To the Teachers of Fairfield Coanty. The County Board of Examiners having decided to hold a "County Normal Institute," and the citizens of Winnsboro having very kindly agreed to entertain the teachers who may attend, every teacher in the county who expects to take charge of a public school the next year, will be expected to answer roll call (unless Providentially hindered) at 11 o'clock, a. m., Monday the 11th day of July, 1887. Teachers will therefore please bear in mind the 11th day of July, and 1 govern themselves accordingly. John Boyd, TV. H. "wltherow, E. B. Ragsdale, Co. Bd. Ex. for Fairfield Co. The Weather and Crops. The Weather Bureau of theXational Government has issued the following bulletin for the week ending on the 25th inst.: During the week the weather has been slightly cooler than the average for the week in all the agricultural districts east of the Rocky Mountains, while it has been warmer than usual on the Pacific coast. In the States of the ^upper Mississippi and Missouri cailovs: and nTvner Lake region the daily average temperature ranged from 3? to 7? below normal, while on the Atlantic? coast, south of New England, and in the cotton and tobacco regions, the temperature differed but slightly from normal. In northern California. Oregon and Washington Territory the average daily excess of temperature for the week ranged from to 10?. The excess of temperature for the season from January 1 to June 35, amounting to a daily average of from 1? to 2? continues' over the cotton region,'the central Mississippi valley and thence forward to the Rocky Mountains, while in all other agricultural districts, except at isolated stations, the daily average temperature for the season differs less than 1? from normal. During the week the rainfall has been in excess in all the States on the j Atlantic coast, twuni^ iuc uuiucuiaic east Gulf coast, and in western Missouri and eastern Kansas, the heaviest rainfalls occurring along the middle Atlantic coast. In the Missouri, Ohfo and Mississippi valleys there was less rain than usual, the deficiency amounting to about an inch in the Mississippi valley. The large seasonal deficiency of rainfall exceeding ten inches, continues over the cotton region, and a seasonal deficiency, exceeding five inches, exists in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, in all other sections the rainfall for the seasons differs slightly from normal. The weather during the week has been generally favorable for the principal crops. The rains in the South Atlantic States doubtless improved the condition of the stsple crop in that reigion. More rain is needed in the cotton region, and the indications are that rain will occur in the lower Mississippi aud Ohio valleys by Monday afternoon. The weather has beeu favorable for harvesting in tne i wheat regions, there having been an ! excess of sunshine and very little | rain. In the corn region the weather hoc hpftn annfirallv favorable, although in some localities more rain is needed ! and the cool weather of the past week mast have slightly retarded the growth of the coru crop. In New England, where haying is now in progress, the conditions have been especially favorable to the hay -crop. All the crops in this section and' in the Middle Atlantic States have been improved by rains, although in the northern portions of New York and New England there has been less than the usual amonnt of sunshine, attended with cold weather. NOTES FR02T CROSJiYVILLE. Closing Exercises of Cool Branch School? The Crop Outlook. Jlessrs. Editors: The closing-exercises of the Cool Branch School came off on the 24th alt. Owing to the fact that it was not generally known that there was to be a public examination of the pupils, there was not many present, except patrons of the school. The entire morning was taken up in examining the pupils in their different studies, and the ready answers which they gave to the questions asked by their teacher convinced all present that they were well trained. The + Vvr\T-r o?^cnr6i*/irl fhQ maimer m wrnw questions in geography leflected much credit on themselves and their profii cient teacher; also the spelling was splendid. At the closing of the morning exercises they sung several very | pretty songs, which seemed to be greatly enjoyed by all. After the exercises of the morning was over came to your correspondent the most important part of the programme, a sumptuous dinner prepared by the good ladies of the "Corner," I . id right here let me say, Messrs. Editors, if you arc fond of something good to eat, find out when there is to be a picnic in the "Dark Corner." Come up, and if you are not satisfied with your trip, why, I will say you are hard to please. After dinner speeches were in order. Our popular and highly esteemed School Commissioner being present, was invited to address the school. He promptly responded in his pleasing style, confining his remarks principally to the importance of education. If it were left to the-"Corner," the Doctor would retain his position as School Commissioner for several terms yet. After fXllrtTTTO/l rinnf .T. TT1. V.

Mr. Harris left to-day for North Carolina, on a visit to his father and mother, after which he will resume school again at this place.

Iloyt & co., Wholesale and Retail Druggists of Rome, Ga., say: "We have been selling Dr. King's New Discooery, Electric Bitters and Bucklen's Arnica Salve for two years. Have never handled remedies that sell as well, or give such universal satisfaction. The have been some wonderful cures effected by these medicines in this city.

It costs not] Oil! my; what delicious Milk as good as you can get anywhere i LETTER Fll OJf MO Jill IS CREEK. Messrs. Editors: Your correspon-j dent "Li^ht," in his "suggestions to Morris Creek," is somewhat involved in darkness. In each of his suggestions there is a fallacy, consisting in assuming what is not admitted, and | what He mates 110 attempt tu prove. "Morris Creek" will therefore modest[ ly venture to offer a little instruction j to "Light," hoping he may become "yet wiser" and "increase in learn- i ing." 1. Pointing out the evils incident to, I or in any way connected with, any enterprise or invention does not prove or even imply opposition to such enterprise or invention. Neither docs it prove that they arc of 110 utility: much less does it prove that there arc evils in all other enterprises or inventions. Let mc illustrate. Suppose "Light" has protested against the inequality of railroad charges for freight, does it prove that he is oppo^* *o railroads; that they arc of iio utility; or that there are evils in all other enterprises or inventions? In other words, are public schools, public roads, steam engines, cotton gins and telegraphic wires all of 110 utility 01* necessarily defective becausc the railroads charge unequal freights? Or because the railroad furnish occasion for various eviis detrimental to the public good? "Light" in his first suggestion assumes th:s, and manifests darkness by* the assumption. 2. "Light" evidently condemns independence of thought, as appears both by his suggestions for amendment. and also by his first quotation which could have no application whatever unless he regarded such persons as fools; and yet independence of thought has given him his railroad, engine, telegraphic wire, cotton gin, etc. Ilere is inconsistency, and therefore darkness again. "Light"approves, no doubt, of the discovery of the western hemisphere as a noble achievement of science, but must condemn Columbus for that independence of thought that led to it. The blessings independent thought has given to the world if written could not be contained in hundreds of volumes; yet your correspondent would have "Morris Creek" become the degraded bondsman of other men's thoughts, and submissively and silently' receive the wisdom of*"Light" as the voice of ^ *? T.M U ? . I*.,* /v? tjrOCl. "moms Ul'UCX u;is uut uiit God. 3. What "Light" meant by the quotation, "The v/ay of a fool is light in his own eyes," is best known to himself. I shall not sit in judgment upon his intention. But it is certain the quotation would have been utterly inapplicable had he not regarded "Morris Creek" as a fool. The common acceptation of the term contains the idea of contemptible ignorance and stupidity, and assuming that he ! designed applying this to "Morris j Creek," I shall modestly remind i "Light" of the fact that the same author from which he quotes teaches us there is a worse condition than that of a fool, because more hopeless: "Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit, there is more hope of a fool tnan 01 mm." aiouius ui P. S. Thanks to "Upper Horeb" for ; his interest and kind words, though his estimate of "Morris Creek" is I overdrawn. * 31. c. OUR EXCHANGES. {Charlotte Observer.) Dr. McGlynn remains firm in his opposition to the commands of Pope Leo. It is evident the doctor thor- j oughly understood the justice of his, first step, hence like a man of intelligence and a lover of freedom of speech he is immovable.

Give the White Girls an Equal Showing. (Barnwell People.) The State contributes liberally to the support of the South Carolina College and'Citadel Academy devoted to the education of white boys and to keep up Claflin University set apart for colored boys and girls, bat docs not extend a helping hand to the white girls whse parents are in moderate circumstances. This is not right. One educated "woman is worth more to State and socicty than a half dozen educated men. (Camden Gazette.)' John H. Alexander, the Ohio colored youth who graduated at West Point last week, is a young man of excellent figure and light yellow complexion. "I expect," he says, "to receive a second lieutenancy in the 9th cavalry, where there arc colored men. I had "not the slightest insult offered me at "West Point on account of my color. Indeed, I think I was more leniently treated by my wmte classmates than some white men. I minded my own business and got along very well." Protcct the Birds. (Pec Dcc Index.) "VVe do not remember to have ever heard of so many plant-destroying insect* as have been reported from the various localities in the State this year.

The most probable gcausc that suggests itself is the decrease in the number of onr inscctiverous birds. It is a noticeablc fact that insects in-: I crease as the number of birds in a ; country decreases. Birds are the principal destroyers of insects and when they are in turn destroyed or driven out men have little protection against t'je rapid increase of insects of all kinds. (Carolina Spartan.)

"We have received information from several directions that the white people in parts of GreenTille and Spartau- j burg counties are making preparation's, in quietness indicating a deadly j purpose, for a general raid against the j co-operative workers, established in this section by Hoover. There is danger in this movement of the whites?far more danger than there is in any possible organization of the negroes. There is danger to the peace and good order we have j AitnKIithfifl nf en nmr.h p.nsr. dr>nTr tn tiie prosperity just coming, to us, dan-! ger to all our interests and. to the well earned reputation of this section for respect for the law. Before there is any rash work let the ; white people remember that they have j all the law and government in their ^liands and ail the "power. There is no , excuse or posibie justification for vie-: lencc while the civil authorities are i willing and able to enforce ail the: laws. While the colored people keep ! inside the law they can hurt nobody j and nothing, and are as much entitled t to the law's protection as anybody. The white men owe it to their own i manhood to be as honest and merciful as they arc brave. Let "the coolest and wisest heads in! Greenville and Spartanburg take the j guidance of the whole matter and sec that nothing is done rashly or outside the law. Wc have just recovered j the demoralization of Radical rule and! the revolution of 187G; let us not go i any step backward, but continue our : progress toward perfect peace, prosperity, and the reign of Christianity, i As wc understand the co-operative workers, any white'man can become a member on payment of his fifty-five cents.
