About eleven e'cloek on Wednesday night the depot at Rockton, together with the warehouse, three box cars, and a part of the railroad track was r destroyed by fire. Major Woodward lost a carload of bay, and a large > nuober of shingles. The southbound train was delayed until 5 o'clock in the morniug, until the track could be rebuilt.

On Tuesday morning about 2 o'eloek the alarm rase, and quite a blaze was seen in Mrs. Julia Fripps's yard. It turned out to be her chicken bouse. | The companies responded promptly and no harm was done beyond the burning ef the chicken house. At uine o'clock on Tuesdsy morning Mr. McBriie Smith discovered a blaze on the gable end of Miss Fripp's dwelling house and soon extinguisned it. The frequent oceurrence of fires at this place has aroused some suspicion that there is an incendiary in that neigh* borhood. Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be suecesifol one mast look ehead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to taice advantage of it. A little forethought wi!| also save maeh expense and valuable time. A prudent and carefnl man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrboei Kemedy in the hoase, the shiftlesfe fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then rain his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays oat 25 cents, the other is out a hundred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is getting rieher while he is getting poorer.

C., June 4, '98. Editor News and Herald, Wlnnsboro, S. C.: Dear Sir: I notice ia your paper of June 1, some inquiries as to why the Mt. Zion school is not in the list of accredited schools of the South Carolina College, and* think I should explain on behalf of the college authorities that they, several months ago, invited Mt. Zion, alon? with other schools in the State who have fcent us well-prepared students, to enter the relation of formally accredited schools by "signifying their wish to accept such relation." I quote from the circular sent out by the faculty iviting to this relation. We beard irom a number of preparatory schools, to the iramber indeed of 39, accepting the invitation, and signifying that acceptance as we begged them would do. We had no response from the Mt. Zion school, and did not, therefore, feel that we had the right to rank them, as we wished to do, in the list of onr aecrcdited schools. We shall be glad, however, to do eo, whenever the school shall give us formal permission, and endorse a circular explaining the statii3 of such schools, and express the hope that yonr most excellent school may soon be among the number. nr VCX/ H UJJTj F. C. "Woodward, President. ACCREDITED SCHOOLS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. To the Principal of Dear Sir: Undor the authority of the Board of Trustees, the Faculty of the South Carolina College hat formulated the following regulations to govern the admission of applicant! into said college by certificate: 1. The privilege of granting certificates of admission into the Freshman clasa of the South Carolina College shall be accorded t? the following schools, upon tfceir signifying their wish to accept, or to continue, su^h relation: (a) To all public schools having not less than nine grades, or the equivalent. (b") To all schools which have al ready sent to the college certificated students who "have succe86fally sustained themselves in their stndiee. (c) To other schools which shall submit a coarse- of study, actually tau?ht by them, meeting the requirements for admission to the college. 2. All schools admitted to this privilege shall be published in the annaal catalogue of the college as the accred-1 ited schools of tin South Carolina College. 3. The c '1 ye may at any time, after dne notiec, withdraw this privilege from any school whose certificated students shall fail to sustain themselves, and any school may withdraw, after doe notice to the president of the college. 4. Superintendents of schools whose certificated students have failed to mstain themselves will be notified of snth failure. 5. Students from accredit schools, seeking admission, shall bring a certificate substantially in the following form, signed by the principal: M a person of good character, has been a 6tudent of the.. .. school, from to We have examined upon the studies required lor admission to the freshman class of the South Carolina College, and certify that has passed satisfactorily in the followiug (Official signature) 1 submit these regulations and the matter they set forth, for your consideration, and shall be glad to hare you signify your acceptance of the relation here offered. The connection thus invited looks to the mutually helpful atliance of those p-ncraorpd in the work of education. It promises closer conneciion and belter understanding between schools and colleges, more intelligent apprehension on the part of each of the methods and work of the other, and more orderly and (fficient system in the prepa ration of students for college. Very respectfully, President South Carolina College. A rrnUfintlnn. I. We are informed that the South Carolina College sent out circulars to 106 schools, and only 14 responding, another notice was sent to those who had not responded. So that Mt. Zion got two separate and distinct eall? from the South Carolina College, and as there was no response from the princi pal, was why Mt. Zion is not in the list of "accredited schools" in tho catalogue. r Millions Given Away.
