There was a contract let out about the first of October, 1S98, to be [built in a reasonable time and nothing has been done tewards it. There were two other bids ou it, and if this had been accepted tliey would have had to give bond, but that is the way things go. Some people's word ! is as good as,a bond. I think if Ms word was so good as that he might havo done his duty. I think our township board's duty is to see to it. Mo?t1 people call it township board, but I call them township savers. I hope j there will be enough money left to pav their salary. Hoping I hare not tread on as\one, J. S. OBITUARY. After a isog and painful illness, Mrs. H. S. Rabb, wife of J. II. Rabb, deceased, peacefully passed away at her home near ilonticello January 15, 1899. Sbe was in the 74th year of her age. Tier death is indeed a sad loss to her children and mauy friends, but we ktioiv "our loss is hsr gaiu," for her faith was both strong and restful. Unfefjjfishnass was a prominent trait in hi r character. She leaves living nine children, thirty-nine grandchildren, an seventeen great-grandchildren. To the bereaved ones we would say, ? vvppn not as thoss that have no bope,v for "she is not dead but sieepeih." R. February 10, 1899. MARRIED BY TELEPHONE. To-day at 5.30 p. m. Mr. W. H.

His Honor charged the grand jury as to their duties generally and laid especial stress on the wrong of mobs taking the law into tneir own hands. He mentioned incidentally in this connection that he had learned that a prisoner charged with a serious crime had been sent to the penitentiary for safe-keeping until he shall have been tried. Of course, he said that he did not know what foundation there was for the fear of violence to him,but he said that itwonld be a shame and disgrace en the county if the accused could not obtain a fair and impartial trial in the courts. He added tba^ there w?s absolutely no excuse for mob law. That the white people ! had the judges, all the oflcers of the court, aDd the juries. j The first case beard wat the case of | the State vs. Isaac James, charged with housebreaking and larceay.

And what did I come here for? Surely to improve myself in every possible manner, and as my talents are nothing more than moderate 1 caD oeyer arrive at distinction (wliar. I : ba^c always desired) in th-s world bat by tbe greatest diligence. In surveying she clas3 I find;hat thtre is only one (and one who it is 3aio has been over the whole college ! course) that can compete with me. [In Laborde'd History of S. C.

And if it is impossible for me to obtain the first honor, if I have life and strength by great indnstry I may get the second. Bat, lastly, let me reflect how much heartfelt pleasure it would cause my dear parents to see their first born to whom thev have very kindly^ given sucb good opportunities graduating with such distinction, and perhaps it would be the more delightful to them became unexpected. Truly if these considerations cannot move me to exert myself I have '>o ambition and am unworthy to bave d'i> opportunities. But let me not be building castles in the air?in all this let mc remember thar I must apply myself and apply ojyself very industriously too. Before I saw my friend Henry Alston Owens tbe other night I had intended to stay at this college but one and thpn fflach a \ ear or two and go to some other college or perhaps | this and try to distin<?uikb myself then. Bat ever since I can remember I have been patting- off exertions to distinguish myself until two or three years ahead, and now I am afraid that I may eventually put off bard studying uatil I am studying for a profession and then far a year or two more and finally forever. To return?a conversation I had with Owens in which be told me that Fairfieid had never tak?n a first , honor yet and that he thou?hi I might I take it if I tried, and induced me to j make the attempt and God grant that I may succeed.

GER MOSSY DALE. February 10 ?Since my last we J lave had a diversity of wsather. We j veie visited with an unexpected snow ;rh:ch wrapped mother earth in pare j ffhueress during the darkness of light and presented to the eye a beauifal view the i:ext morning, and the 1 mow continued te fall the greater part of next day, giving us a depth ef ibout Ave inchss. It was a beautiful ] tight to beheld the forest with its' i raragated tints. I never saw as much ' mow gathered upon the pine forest J jefore. Well it has come and gone j ind since that time we have ex- ; ?erienced a great deal o? wet weather : srhifth hi* stanned all work on the ! rt-- , 'arms. I fear it will delay the sowing * >f small grain nntil it will make a i 7ery uncertain crop. The fall sowing s looking well and bids lair to make i <<ood yield it there should be no I Irawback. The earth is thoroughly 1 ?aturated and it has been raining for 1 he past thr?e days. Thing* are de- ( iidedly gloomy for an early prepara- < ion of lands for planting. I obse ve that tli# legiilature reused to repeal the lien law, which j jhows good wisdom on their pert. It ( nay work ill to some, but like all | )tber laws, there is still some good in 1 It, for it does build a credit for a \ jreat many that they otherwise wonld | aot have. Some of onr people seem ;o lose sight of the fact that we have i large number of poor whites who ire not able to put up persona' 6e- i :urity by which they can carry on ' their business, and in order to strike Sown another color they are willing to carry the poor whites with them, j rhere seems to my mind that there is something selfish at the bottom of the whole matter, and in erder te give i money greater power there mu?t be more people made dependent so that they will under the necessities of the case produce cheaper labor for the rich. Labor is so low now that there Is a bare living in it I also notice that our legislators are ' - Li X 1 getting ou IQ0 ngut irmcx ju? iq(uue Clemson College. I think the judiciary committee are right in their views to place the- pmelege tax on guanos in the state treasury and make direet appropriations upon it for the maintenance of the college, which will net prove any drawback upon its usefulness, and thereby let the farmers know that the college is supported hf direct appropriation as all other State institutions. Notp- as regards the county court bill which is still before them. From my standpoint I do not see that this oonnty will be benefited thereby. Our circuit courts can transact all of the Dusiuesi in mm county wiuiuiu bleating more officers, which means more pay. We want taxes reduced and not increased.

As this has been delayed in transmi tting owing to the extreme bad weather I will add a little more. Wt have been visited with another snow tfcat jurpas^es anything of its kind in quite a numdar ot years. The snow pr.m manned falling on Saturdav morn ing last and continued tbrough'Sunday night, and on Monday we had a v?ry blustry day, which drifted the snow in some places about three feet deep, which put an end to travel?so much so we have only had one mail up to this time. I cannot attach any blame to our mail carrier, as it would bave been dangerous to have attempted to carry the mail. The snov was twelve inch-?? on a level. Ae far as I have heard in the nsighborhood ail of the frnit that wa3 canned in glass jars is desiroved, unless it can be eooked up into -nettling elge.
