Soire babies were crying, >thers laughing, some fondling with heir nurses. The place was fearfully Farm and the poor litile crcatures d.d jot seem to take much itock in the reatment they were being subjected o. Each one bore a number on its person and the entrauce ticket entitled :he helder to two votes?one lor one fear old and one for those from three 0 four years old. Mr. J. S. E'der had the ballot box, md as the babies seemed to be gelling :ired of this "darned foolishness (as he Kentucky darkej told the preacher), :he voting commenced, in order that he little creatures might be given some cool, fresh air. The local editor :rawled off in a comer and put his ai> hie ticLrpf.. as he did not >rop?se to allow any one to know how ie voted; he did not want the ill-will >f thirty or forty mothers in Winnsi)oro. When the voting was over it resulted in Mr. F. M. Clarke's little girl being the choico for oue year :>ld, and Mr. A. W. Brown's little boy being the choice for three to four years 5ld. Everybody cheered, and the ladies are all " satisfied. But you husKonrlo bnnw a thine or two. NOW, OUt svithit; come up and confess to the local editor. Did not some of you bear something like this: "Weil of course I am not going to say anything about it, but, John, you know our child was the prettiest there." After the 1 esult of the vote they tried to perch little Ivinsler Brown upon a stand or throne prepared fjr the little king and queen, but he was evidently tired of all this 4'foolishness" and refused to sit; but when Mr. Clarke's little baby came it sat like a little queen and had a sati.-fLd air about it. Our reporter at once asked a young lady if it was not a girl. She ?aid yes. Then we saw (hat love of admiration which is natural with her sex. The little boy was not pleased, but the littie girl was in her glory. Ihev arc both line specimens, and wtille we know sonic of jou ladies will think some other one onght to have the prize, still it is a righteous verdict. Rev. C. E. McDonald presented the girl with a gold spoon and the little boy with a gold dollar. In his remarks he said he would change the saying about "the hand that ro^ks the cradle" and would say that the baby "in the cradle" rules the world. He said he could see in his mind's eye the midnight parade, and had heard of a mother longing for a night of "good old gal sleep", but the babv ruled no. After the delivery of the prlzis the house came down to business. Ice cream and- sherbert were served and every one tried to get cool. The amount raised was about $33.

Winnsboro Drug Store, * a correction. Mr. Editor: In The News and Herald of Tuesday's issue you stated among other local items that "Trial t"/lanrn .tao onrrloft i O Udll^U 11X111^1 UU IT U V W and David Cordes for malicious mischief?taking watermelons from Wesley Washington, that they just took them for mischief." How The Herald's local editor managed to allow his pen to make such a blunder is more than I can see. These boys were not charged with, nor were they ever accused of stealing melons. In order to : gratify a grudge against one, Robert j Washington, they went to his melon patch and cut and pulled up all of his vines. For this offence they were indicted for malicious mischief, tried, convicted and committed to jail. I hope you will correct this statement of yours as it would naturally lead to the inference that these boys had stolen melons and had been indicted and punished for malicious mischief for so doing which was not the case. Respectfully, li. G. Miller, Trial Justice. [We are free to say that we did not think any complicity would arise from the above matter, but we were informed by the deputy sheriff that these negroes were "indicted for malicious mischief? taking some fellow's watermelons", and we added that we supposed they "just took them for fun." | The deputy was informed, he says, I that thev cut ud the vines aud de stroyed and carried away some melons and some vines. We do not think the article reflects on the trial justice, certainly none was intended.] Relief in Six Hours.

COLUMBIA, d. l;., OUiy ISlHfc. i Mr. Editor: Thinking you, and your readers might be interested in a few ' briefs from and about this institution, ' I take up my pen to give you hurriedly a few. Since Supt. Griffin's 1 departure, this Asylum has been under the superintendency of J. W. Babcock. M. D , of Chester, S. C. He is assisted by an able and efficient corps of physicians; the genial, jovial Dr. W. T. Thompson, of Fairfield, ' and the portly, affable Dr. M. Ii Ileymen, of Chester counties. There are 1 807 patients here now ?17 male, "pay'', 1 the others "at the expense of the State." ( More in number, than at any one * time since its first opening. The ex- 1 penses are "about $125,000 per an- ?' num", so Mr. Bunch, the efficient 1 treasurer, informs me. In addition to 1 officers named, there are several others, J viz., a ma(x*on, Mrs. Carter, Dr. W. T. j Thompson's mother-in-law, holding [ this responsible position, a general supervisor of the cooking department, Mr. Herring, 3 night watchmen, and 21 male nurses, or attendants, and 2G , female nurses, on the female side of j the building. There are only 2 train- j ed male nurses here now, Mr. Mitchell, j and Capt. Bvoom, of Fairfield County, i TIia nurses?male and female?have 1 recitations from 1 to 3 times weekly under Dr. and Mrs. Dr. Babcock, and \ Drs. Thompson and Hey men. They t "havd examinations" all failing to ? make a certain- percentage being turned back* Ilence, the number of | classes. The writer, having been here as a patient, since November 19, 1893, knows something of the place, and treatment an inmate receives. I was " brought here when "almost gone" with a mental trouble, brain fever I believe, and had it not been for the skillful medical treatment I have received since my incarceration, most assuredly, I would have been dead. "We have services in the chapel every i Sunday at 2.30 p m. Rev. Messrs. I Elwell, Mitchell, Carroll, and othe.-s preaching by the month. In the win ler season, we frequently have enter- : tainments in the asylum opera house, j for the entertainment, amusement, and i instruction of the patient?. The last one, given on the evening of April 22, < "was quite a success", Mrs. F. L. < Brown's singing, "I'm waiting my 1 love's return", "bringing down the 3 house." Every Tuesday evening in j fall, winter, and early spring, a dance is given for the patient's amusement. Your scribe often attends, but never takes part in them. There is an crroneous idea all over the country, con- J cerning this institution. The majority of people thinking it is a place where i inmates are "cruelly maltreated, being ' tied, in strait jackets, to iron cells "by j iron chains, etc., etc." This is all j wrong. Sueh is not the case. A pa- \ tient gets good though firm treatment, 1 and the best medical skill available is ] employed. Only about 20 patients have died during the present year: j "Inmates are kindly treated, always, never abused, Iviudness and firmness being always, J ever used." i Anyone suffering from auy mental, ] or indeed! physical disorder, or de- , rangement should come to the South Carolina Lunatic Asylum for good medical treatment and scientific nurs- J ing.

Clemson College, S. C., July 25.? < The College crop is very fine this year. The upland corn is particularly good, ! and with one more good seasou it will J be made.

The college work of last session closed on the 23rd ult. On Monday. Jnly 2, about half of the cadets, with Lieut. Donaldson commanding, set out for the city of Spartanburg to join in the encampment that was held at that place. The courtesy and the respect that was shown to visitors, soldiers and cadets by the people of Spartanburg can never be forgotten by those who attended the encampment. During the encampment the Teachers' Association of South Carolina met and held a four or five days convention, discussing the different educational problems of to- . day. Some very fine speeches were made on different studies, especially the 6peech by Prof. W. S. Morrison, of Clemson, on History. We met a <n*eat many friends while there from dear old Fairfield whom we were very glad to see, and we were ! a little sorry that we could not return I home with them for a few days. Among some of the friends"we met ' were Prof - "VViiherow, School Commissioner Miiii.ig, aud many others which " I'have a i time and space to mention. An excursion was given to Ashville during the encampment. Many took . advantage of this excursion to view the mountain scenery, and the beautiful private residence of Yanderbilt. Several more intended going but got left by some means; which we care not to mention. The cadets left Spartanburg on the 10th inst., about 9 a. m., and reached , the College about 1 p. m. On the Wednesday following we began college work with renewed energy. We hope to accomplish a great deal by next Christmas?the end or ine session. The other half of the cadets went home to spend their vacation, but they have all returned except a few. We think those that went home 1 .missed a great treat by not going to Spartanburg to join in the encamp- j ment. There are many other items of < interest to be told in regard to the , Spartanburg trip, but I have not space ' to mention everything. "We have about thirty (30) "rats" this session. The "cats" are dealing very gently with the "rats" as the "rats" are few in number.
