As wa; previously an-1 nounced the concert was held at the home of Dr. Pixley, and the young ladies of his family wer# very active! in getting up the concert. These; vounor ladies, as the people of onr! wwnwell know, are fine musicians, acd they, by their beantiful saa3io, both vocal and ii s'.ramental, contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the evening'. The audience being too large to be accommodated in the house, it was decided to have the eoncert in the open air. The piano was UMttUCU iU LiJC ? nilii/u i ^/u ivt a stage, and benches were placed in th? yard for the audience. Chinese lanterns were nun?, and the effect was extremely pretty. The program wa3 qnite long but each number was thoroughly enpyed, and the guests were sorry when the concert was over.

THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. The Teachers' Institute opened on Monday, in pursuance to the notice published for the past two weeks. While the attendance was small on the first day, possibly due to the threatening weather and to the fact that many of the teachers in the county are off on a vacation, still the first day's exercises were very mach enjoyed. The institute is in the hands of Mr. W. H. Eand. superintendent of the Chester Graded Schools, as conduc'or. He is assisted by Prof. Colcock, of the j cn ) J It; ouata i^yrouaa snu jwhb Chapman, of Wiuthrop. On Wednesday night Dr. E. S. Joynes, of the South Carolina C >Ilege, will deliver a lecture. The public may expect a literary treat. Tin* lecture will probably be delivered in the ceurt j house, as that place will be more convenient to the public. On Friday night President Woodward will d?-1 liver a lecture, possibly on the literary features of the Bible. Those who heard Prof. Woodward on Shakespeare know what to expect. Thid lesture will probably be in the court house. Oq iffonday night i?r. Hand gave a very enieriamiDg lecture on speiuog; Prof. Colcock's was very intere6tiag on Mathematics, and Miss Chapman's very instructive on primary reading, Miss Chapman's lectures are just as entertaining to parents as to teachers, and paren'.s should attend this morning to hear her. She desires a class of half a dozsn small children, who have never been to school. The institute will continue during the whole week, and the community should show its appreciation by turning out. A 13-year-old boy at Crown Point, Ind., became violently insane a few days sgo as the result of continued indulgence in the cigarette habit.

The game of ball between Ilatesbnrg and Wmu8boro was played Friday on the college green and Wiunsboro walked off with the game with much less effort than expected. Her victory was due not so much to her brilliant playiog as to the poor playing ot Batesburg. Batesburg's throwing was very wild, especially after t"ao fourth inning. The game passed off very quietly; if _ n o~ ^ iuc umpuc, xur. uuuier,:giYiug cnuio satisfaction. \ The prettiest play of the afternoon was the long catch made by CooDer J. in center field.

CASI'OHIA. &%> THE PUBLIC KOADS. Mr. Editor: I can't conveniently attend the advertised Fairfield County road congress, but I am interested. I am for the best roads we can get without assuming one dollar of indebtednpcs. All fhft falk of two hundred thousand dollars in bonds?you will excuse one for thinking?is pare bluff, intended to scare opposition into accepting easier terms without a struggle. I have heard it carelessly stated that in Fairfield we have abont eight hundred miles of road, "public." If one foot of public load is built up on an imnmufifl nlan all should be: this ij certainly fair. If true that SOO mile3 is the amount, it would reach in a straight line a distance equal from here to Texas. There is no certain confidence to be placed in estimates of cost of public works especially of such a scattered character a3 roau building would be in Fairfield. It is a nfttnrinnq fact that ffr^at Dublic works V -V ?O fc- where every facility for estimates and organization exists often result in failure or doable cost. Don't talk about what is doDe at the North. It is rich and densely populated; we are poor and far between. I noticed recently an article from a well-posted Boro man in which it was stated that the white population of Fairfield had not increased appreciably since 1800. If all the rush of improven .L- t!_Li -x ?: meniB, an me jigjjt uj. swcuw, has dawned upon in in this the wonderful nineteenth " uiury, has failed to bring abont- c uditions upon which we can tlu->\, nothing need be expected from public roads. There is no profit in riding roads good or bad, and getting our produce to market is one of the least of our difficulties. Something is rotten in Denmark. What is it? Talk abont estimates, let me give a few estimated statistics, furnished by the comptroller of currency for the year 1891. In the East it shows a ner p.anita of loanable funds from $80.70 in New Jersey to $361.72 io Rhode Island, while the South has only from $6.56 in Arkansas to $30.90 in Louisiana. The gros3 amount of loanable funds for the country is placed at near six billion. Of this sum the Eastern States hold 64 per C 'nt, the South only 3 per cent, the remaining S.ates 33 per cent. Tbe eleven Eastern States have 117,062,6^0 acres of land, the eleven Southern States have 479,995,758 acres. This averages $31.98 per acre for the East, onH io?o thon L i-entq r>f?r acre lor the South of loanable funds. Easy transportation, doubtles?, might somewhat enhance the value of our lands, but it is at least significant that lands contiguous to railroads n.j c jast as cheap as where they are ten miles olf.
