According to a prevJom announce ment in your paper, the patrons ani friends of tbe Crosby Institute, nnde ?be efficient management of Prol Leon JRosborongb, ol Albion, and th school in tbe Halsellville community under the efficient management c Miss Alice McMaster, of Winnsbort met in the grove near the residence o Mr. John S Stone on Friday, the 9; inst, and had a basket picnic. Ther were no dialogues and speech-makin by the chrildren. All who attende seemed to enjoy themselves very much BothPro? Rosborongh and Miss M< Master had good schools, which wer well attended. We feel sate in say in that both teachers have rendered ef? eient service, which has given satisfac tion to patron3 and pupils. We wis them much success in their professior Messrs. Paul Hemphill and Marioi: of Chester, were expected to be pres ent an<? address the people. Th crowd was somewhat disappointed a the speakers' failure to put in thei appearance, which was perhaps due t the long distance from here to Cheste and the excessively hot weather. Man of our people have never beard eitbe of the above mentioned speakers; ba thinking Mr. Hemphill might posses the faculty of speech aad fbw of lau ? gnage to the extent that his brothe John has we might safely expect a oratorical treat. Tbe Ladies' Society, of Bea?e Oreefe Church, and Mr. Mclieown from Blackstock, served reii?<hu*ent? About one o'clock the ladie-s repairer to the Uble aud arranged the dinner All present did justice to the innerma and no doubt felt that the occasion ha been a success. Those present spen the afternoon in pleattint conversa tion, some assembled in groups wbil ot&ers sat in bnggies. I have sal there was not any speech-makiog. J might be well to modify tbat expres sion. Perhaps there were some speeche made by some 01 me young lubu, j so, no doubt indulged in tbat low ao< persuasive style of oratory which i sometimes more captivating to tb hearer than an outburst of eloquenc is to a deliberative body of represen tative men. No doubt tbe young people of ever community look forward with fon anticipations for each recurring picni season.

THE "VYlN'N'SBORO DISPENSARY. t; ho State Board of Control Discnsses the j Local Dispensary. _ The afternoon session of the board ,Ta? quite interesting. After passing erbally on the requests for the return f small seizures of liquor from :harleston, and ordering tbat they be eturned or the price paid for them, nd requesting tbe Governor to call to tie attention of Chief W. W. Sellers .lathe was not doing liis duty in not eeping a proper account of tbe seiz* res in his jurisdiction, the board took p the consideration of some shortages barged against Dispeuser Stevenson, t VVionsbero, and went into the inestigation of a robbery committed in ha dispensary, and some charges made gainst the dispenser. When he was hecked up recently there was a sbortge in his accounts found amounting ) S3S0.45. Mr. Stevenson said that lie shortage had developed while he ?as sick, be having been in bed and ift the dispensary in the charge of his lerk. WLen the shortage was found e promptly paid up what was due the * . A~ ^noA T>?.x tate, wmcn amoumeu. 10 x>ut : seems afterwards that it was discovred that $100.45 was due the county 3d town. The dispenser did not deny .l:3 shortage, but he made the point bat the shortage might have been lused by the disappearance of stock ud that "he did not think that be should e charged up more than the profit ;ou!d have been on liiat amount 01 quor. Mr. Williams contended, howver, that the amount was actually the rofit due the county, and that it did ot represent stock. The dispenser eclined to make any chargss against nybody in connection with this shortge, but assumed the responsibility, nd when the board decided lie must iay it he deposited a check for the mount. But the dispenser had more rouble in the shape of a robbery ommiited about two week3 8go, and at of which some very serious barges were made against him. Contable Holloway, of Columbia, at tbe equest of Mr. Stevenson, was sent to Vinnsboro to investigate the matter, ud when he came back be made the lost damaging report against Stevenan. He expressed grave doubts as lo rhetber a robbery had been comurit;d, and said all the hne and cry of one ras made to hide a possible shortage, le further charged that the dispenser penly violated tbe law and that anyody could get liquor after hours by aying five cents bonus for tin stuff, fc was also asserted that the dispenser peitty?MkMmiOl lUC uuu-rva ~ unday, and that generally be conacted the dispensary worse than any rher in tbe State. This 'vas so serioas iat the detective was again sent to finnsboro, and this time he reported lat while everybody told him these lings nobody bat two negroes would lake an affidavit to sustain the charges, ecause they were afraid of Steven>n, and that it was currently reported lat tbe dispenser had all ths county ~ ~ " 4 Af Kim t llO f r\nD I C&i.

Mr. Stevenson, when a?ked to exlain these things, said at first that he new nothing about the robbery ex2pt that his back door had been rokeu into one Saturdav night and iat S19S.98 worth of stuff had disapeared. He said that he had asked iat Holloway be sent to make the ivestigalion.

EARN WELL A>D BA3IBEKG* Mr. Editor: I thought it would be interesting to my up country farmer fiiend-t to kuow how their Barnwell and Bamberg Countys' brotber-larmers are progressing with their work. There have been recently two very remarkable hail storms in this section. Toe first o;:e struck the country rstind about Klko and Williston where it devastated who!c fields in some places. The hail is reported to have been the size of fowl e^gc, and to have staid on 11 ...1 ?maha fViOM n rJo r TliA UK' ?IU11IIU 1U1 LLi'w/lU Lliau a. v*a.j . hjv peopls have bad to plow np and plant over, even though it was so late in the pea-on. In some places where it was hcavi' r nothing was left standiog io ihi fields when the storm was over. A ore Mi' dp.al of rla,na<?e was done bv it in various other ways than to Nthe farms. Since then another storm of less severity .struck the country about Monie and Whaley and did much damage to ihe crops. The writer witnessed this one, and it was a sight to behold, ft poured down in a blinding sheet of hail the size of partridge eggs, tome of it even larger, for at least twenty minutes, and lay on the ground half an hour where the water did not flow over it. It was accompanied by a heavy rain, thunder and wind. The bail stones were quil(i ZS romitt sib marbles and would rattle on the house tops like a shower of marbles. The air was filled with leaves a9 the hail stone-* beat them olFthe trees. The cotton and water-mellons were badly beaten n.? m-5! the blades otihecorn were shretiwcU. u'nere these storms did not strike, the crops are remarkably fine. Around Denmark the hail missed and the crops area thing of beauty. The nnoer county farmers would think they had no crop if they were to se?. these iu the lower counties. The corn will average all over this country, even where the last hail storm visited, six feet high. In some fields it is ta^seling, and in others if I were to attempt to describe how fine it i.3 you would all think that 1 was drawing on my imagination. Rut I saw a field of corn a few day* ago nantMaflr tViof moc en Inorh fViaf ?

There is les? cotton planted here than ever before. It is looking fresh and green and is knee high 011 an average, full of liuibs and forms. The farmers here have planted a quantity of email grain and corn, sugar cane and m?llous and rice. Tney are fixing to live next \car. Th*ir pastures are fall o4'cattle, sheep and pigs. Ail additional number of threshing machines were needed this seas >n and several flour mills and rice cle?ners are making preparations for the crop of wheat that is on hind and the rice which bids fair to a hetvy > ield 1 iter on. Tne pro-peels are certainly l?V-U? \ r.?
