"I will make mention of ^?r. Samuel

e From this acre he made only 1.200]
pound? seed cotton, which leaves i.000

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
nnon her and for seren years she
withstood its severest test=, but her
vita: organs were undermined and
death seemed immineut. For three
months the coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption^ and was so
much relieved on taking first dose, that
- hpsiept all night; and with two bottle:?,
has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mi-s. Luther Lutz. "Thus

THE BRIDGE BUILDERS.
Mr. Editor: Will you allow me space
in your valuable columns to ask what
has became of our bridge builders in
Township No.'J2. 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."

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Court convened on Monday, Judg?
Ernest Gary presiding. Solicitor J. K
Henry was absent attending to datiei
in the General Assembly. J. E. McDonald,
Esq., filled his placa in court.
Stenographer McCaw was present at
his post. 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. He
defended himself, and admitted the
larceuy, but denied that he broke into
the house. He wai found guilty of
[ larceny, "but not guilty on the count
charging housebreaking.
Zachariah Yanderhorst plead guilty
to house- breakiag and larceny.

STUDIES AND TIME OF RECITATION. y
In the morning at 7 cbe bell riny,s i
for prayers, after which we recite in t
Elalfon; after breakfast at 11 we racite *
n Moral Philosophy; at 4 in the j
wening we recite in Kaints Elements j
)f Criticism and attend prayers ar o i
Janutry 19;h.?So far I have dm.e }
lerably in Mathematics, on having f
nissed one theorem Altogether. At I |
iave a taste for Mathematics, or always 2
jetting- my lesson* well I can excel in j
hem. 1
In Meral Philosophy I bare done j
olerably; by stadying I c&n be iome (
food in tbis branch. 1
la Kaines I have not recited so well, j
lot having been able as j et to re*d j
jntirelv over the lesson, partly on <
iccount of its length, but principally i
)n accoant of my not commencing it [
jarlv enonsrb. As it is an interesting (
)ook I hope that I will review as far t
w I have gone and for the fatu-e take
^are I always get it. j
? *
On Saturday mornings and Monday
evenings the Juniors recite in Cicero
It oratore. I am not as good a Latin .
scholar as some of the rest of the class,
)nt3 as in everything else, by perse- '
rerance I shall be able to do tolerably. ,
*** i
E?ery Friday morning at 9 we re- i
site in Homer. The same remark i
nade concerning Cicero will apply to <
;bis study, bat'in a greater degree. I
***
From a review ot all my studies it (
ippears that if I study I can be very <
jcod iu them, and is it not probable ,
;hat if I study very clo??ly, if I m?.ke |,
ittention to my society and college .
inties my sole business night and day ,
ihat I can distinguish myself so very ,
nucb that the faculty of tbis college .
may think me deserving o: first ap- ;
i
poinunenir
Certainly it appear* presumptnoas
in me even to ask my self this question, J
ind at preatnt it improbable that I can ,
mcceed by the most severe persev?r- ;
Etnce, bat one thing is morally certain,
that whether I get first honor or not I 1
trill be no worse scholar by attempting
it. 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.

It is very probable that he will take
first honor, bnt in the honors which I
hope to strive for wheu I come into the
world to act for myself I will io all
prooaDimy nave muru ^uweuui u^^ jnents
than be is. 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.

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

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.
A? to what will be the outcome ?f
the dispensary legislation I am not abl?
lo state, but I predict a local option
?5" v- a- ?tj. ;il a ?
DHL WU1 UK tUC lCCUlk. jl? niu n/w ?
Democr&.ic bill where the voters will
have the privilege of expressing their
views at the ballot box, and there will
be no cavelliDg afterwards, and if a
onnty shonld vote dry of course they
will be provided with liquor for mechanical,
scientific and medieinal parposes,
and if it is the desire te have
liquor sold within a county it would
be done under the constitution with
the same safeguards as are now
thrown around tfte dispensary.
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. This ia a great
dra AOick upon our wives, fur it will
make delicacies very scarce and living
quite bard. The eggs were also frozen
even in sitting rooms.
Oar neighborhood has been called
upon to mourn the death of one ef
onr esteemed citizens, Mr. The*. P.
L'gon, who breathed his last on Tuesday
about 3 o'clock p. m He ieceiv#d
his final stroke of paralysis on Monday
night about 3 o'clock a. m II# Lever
spoke afterwards. He was surrounded
by a number of his family and friends
who could join in mingling Jtbeir sympathetic
tears. Mr. Ligon was in his
sixty-second year of age. His health
has been bad for two years and for
some time past he has been confined
to bis room. He served in the civil
war in a Tennessee regiment, as be
was living there at that time. His
remains were interred in the Bethel
cemetery on Thursday at 12 o'clock.
Thus one by one our old U. C. V. are
passing away to join the great aimy
that has gone before and art standing
