WOULD MAKE A GOOD PRINCIPAL. We are highly gratified to learn tfiat our esteemd citizen James M. Stewart is a candidate for the position of principal of Mt. Zion, at the meeting of trustees in July. Mr. Stewart is one of the best educated men in the State. A student of the University of Virginia and a graduate of Columbia College of New York.

One of the special features, that calls for ?. <?.rc than a passing notice, was the add e-e on Education by Rev. J. A. Smith, of White Oak, It was brief, pointed and practical, and was full of sound advice to both pupils and patrons of the school. The subject has been so often handled that it is somewhat hackneyed, but Mr. Smith, on this occasion, wa; j able to present the old fubject in a new - j and pleasing dress, and we nave nearu his address spoken of in very complimentary terms. The whole occasion was most pleasant and profitable. The year that hts closed has been a very prosperous one, and pupils and teachers have well earned a needed rest.

This would be less direct for j Mitferd, but it would be less expensive tor it and Duck Lick to put tbeir ! funds together and build Ihis longer j line .ban to build two short ones indeI nendent of each other. t r We bave been thinking of having a line from here for some time, and now ' if we will unite and then go to work right and quit thinking and talking and writing about it, there is no reason why we can't have this line at an ! early date. i There are some men here thai will ' contribute a go^d deal to the purpose j and every man wil! help.

A nature peculiarly unselfish, with lofty ideals, an untiring energy, and great faculty for organization, she instituted many plans for the public benefit, and was ever foremost in advancing social and charitable schemes. When the war came none were more active and ardent in home-work for the soldiers; and it is not strange that at a recent meeting of veterans her name spoken in a passing tribute was greeted by a storm of applause. Every Confederate soldier was a son to her, and they will not forget her earnest efforts for the amelioration of their needs. Her strength, her purse, were freely given to all who needed, and now in the hour of darkness it is but meet that those who shared her bounty as teacher?and there are few who have not, directly or indirectly, in one or the other of ihese?should have an opportuLity of adding their names to t.hft list which will be sent with the testimonial.

Bat owing to the long dry spell, a great deal of the cotton did not come np until the 18fh of June. From what we can learn throngh the papers this drought was general and the cotton crop shows a very poor stand and much of it will, consequently, come on late. Also we see that the acreage has been reduced two million less than last year. With all these odds against the production of a large erop, the writer thinks we can I but expect to receive a good price for thin mn. Mr. Johnnie Gibson's cotton fields are showing quite a number of blooms. The fruit crop, including the melons, is fine and abundant so far.

A called meeting of Mt. Zion Society was held in the town hall on Tuesday morning:. While the attendance ot member's was small, a great deal of iaterest was manifested, and a frank aud full discussioa of what wonld advance the educational interests of the community waa had. The committee on revising the constitution made the following report: To the President and Members of Mt. 7!nn Sfti>lotr /JiVit MVViWVjT # The committee appointed to revise and alter the constitution so as to better adapt it to the present conditions of the country, beg leave to report: That there are so many matters in the constitution, deserving of serious consideration, that, before any material change is made therein, further time should be allowed your committee to fully digest the amendments and resolutions passed since the adoption of the constitution, so that a constitution may be intelligently recommended, which will me8t the changed conditions of the society. Your committee, therefore, at the present time, recommend only the following chan^i ?: First, '"iiat Section 2 bo amended so as to reua as follows: "Sec. 2. The annua; meeting of the society shall be held on the third Thursday in June of every year." Second. That Section 21 be stricken out and the following inserted in lieu thereof; "Sec. 21. This constitution shall not be repealed, altered or amended, in any particular, unlets notice thereof be given in writing, and read and voted upon at three separate meetings, on three distinct dayp, notir.A of whieh meetinss and of the i proposed repeal, alteration or amendment shall be given to the memb3rs by ] the secretary; and at each of such r meetings the proposed repeal or amend; ment mast have received the votes oi i a majority of the members then presr ent." Yonr committee desire to call the attention of the society to two resola3 tlons that were passed some years ago, t viz., the resolution %in regard to lec? tares under the auspices of the society; and that in regard to deceased mem bers. We recommend that steps be taken to have these resolutions carriec into effect. Respectfully submitted, b ' J. Q. Daris, , Chairman Committee. 1 Messrs. J. G. MeCants, T. K. Elliot) g and W. D.

CHILDREN'S DAY AT BETHESDA, Mr EdiioT: Still another "Children's Day," at Betbesda Methodist Church, has come and gone, bnt there still rpmains in onr minds the bright. happy, smiling faces of (hose present. All were gathered together in "His name" and it seems to us that these meetings are typical of the great beyond, where we shall all find undisturbed rest in that '-blest harbor" where we shall '-'never say good-bye." While the exercises were conducted by the pastor. Miss Ethel Jackson is the. efficu-iu superintendent of the Sunday school. This is something thing nuusual, but when we remember that our lLen Lord's first sweet message to his disciples was sent by a woman, we can all see in this, the continuation of the Lord's messages to Iiis people. The decorations, which were supsrintended by Misses Sue Gladden and I j Ethel Jackson, were lovely aud we think very appropriate, for we can see} the hand of God in each leaf and j 1 flower as well as in the mighty solar system. The exercises of the day were beautifully opeued by little Paul Gladderrs r?ci(ation "Wilcome," and while it I will be impossible to refer in detail to all who took part, we will say that the following program was well carried out: t Opening hymn 253.

Hymn?"We will 'JSever Say Goodbye." School. After the diuncr hoar we were addressed by Rev. J. G. Hall npon the all-absorbing topic of the day? "Cuba." He spoke of the island as "beautiful Cuba" add of the erroneous idea of many that it is a somewhat barren island. Mr. Hall has visited it three times and it was especially interesting him, as he could tell of the things wbicL he had seen and heard himself. The Cubans, he says, have almost no religion, but are very mach much opposed to the priest and would always rather "boss" than work. In the meanest slave or blackest African howaver, are found hidden beauties of cbaracter; so in these Cubans Mr. Hall found some noble traits. Thev are a very hospitable people, and give strangers, especially Americans, a eordial welcome into their homes. Many other interesting thic.g3 were told to us of which we cannot speak, but the one thing which was impressed upon us was oar duty toward these people. There have been large sums of money spent, and parents have willingly seen their sons leave to give Cuba liberty. Now, when she is freed! it is our duty to go there and teach these darkened by mental and spiritual clouds of ignorance, the way, the truth and the lfgbt. The pastor, llev. A. A. Yougue, entertained the audience for the rest of the afternoon by telling thein aoout the ant, spider, grasshopper and the coney. Mr. Yongue pointed oct to us some lessons that we could get from each of these little creatures' lives, which were reflections of the "King in JUis tJeauiy." The music of the day by the choir was beautiful. The organist, Miss Evelyn Hall, deserves much credit for the way jn which it was gotten up, for of this we are sure, that music will never cease to soothe the heart of man on earth, and is the grandest conception that we have of heaven. c. s. ?. Mitford, S. C., June 21, 1898. There is more Catarrh in this section 0/ the country than all other diseases p'ut together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies,- and by con stantly failing to care with local treatment, pronounced it incnrable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, mamfactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the oniv constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonfol. It acts directly ; on the blood and mncous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for auy case it fails to cure. * Send for circulars an,d testimonials. ; ' F j CHEN?Y & CO, Toledo, Q.
