I I tne students in auenciance, wuu vuiy one or two exceptions, submitted examination papers that were highly creditable t) themselves and most satisfactory to tlieir instructors. The regular examination of applicants for certificates was to have been held after the summer school examinations had ' been completed, but owimr to the non arrival of the necessary papers from the Superintendent of Education McMahan's office, it had to be postponed. ' October loth is the date selected for the examination. Many of the teacher;! were seriously inconvenienced by ^ their failure to get certificates at ihe ' proper time. Some of them have made engagements to teach in other counties, and they must go to work without P certificates or wait' until after October s 13th.

Mcilaster to relatives here. j The papers are about six weeks old, 3 and their leading news items are naturally somewhat oat of date, but | they gi?e an excellent general .idea of t life in Maoilla. The local columns of r the papers are filled with accounts of I social functions of every description, r Bally, receptions, dinner parties and > r?thpr f. rmQ nf serial amusements are provided for the entertainment of the soldiers and other American residents in the c:ty. bt Owing t'? ?!.! comparative inactivity of the jinn* at ih . iiczie of the publication of thco-j i':tp l-d, the items relative to the miliary operations are not very k prominent. The Spanish aud_native ohnn :.ppnprs- hav<? adonted American ,s methods of advertising their wares, and tli^ sdvertising columns of "Free' don" a. e strikingly similar to those ef |> i.urs published in this county. e Evide .tly no great moral institution Q like our dispensiry system has been put into operation in Manilla.

As ;the Greenville News * remarks it, it is, from its general apr* pearance, printed with an empty Hour P barrel tor a press cylinder and axle u grease for ink. The papers are decidedly interesting ,to the soldiers' friends at home.

CAMDEN ROi Mr J 51 stewart Submits the Followi Report After a Careful Survey Messrs. G. H. McMaster and gent men of the committee: In accordance with your instructio I have carelully examined the ro: leading from Winnsboro to Camde beginning five miles from Winusbo " " J r(-A?*A 4 V"1 T ?? f rt / &UU eillUUH at CiLLl IJSUU O BIIJIG. mint' miles. The route naturally offers ma: difficulties to tbe selection of a got road-way; both on account ot t] character of the soil and the diiectic of the streams; these all running trac vereely to the road, thus nece?sitatii tbe crossing of ali the ridges. Anoth difficulty is in obtaining a good cros ing of the streams themselves and ti bottoms through which they flow. The hills offering the most scrioi obstacle to travel, are the two Water Creek hills, one .tt the Ford place at the other at the Kion piace; tne ?yiu row hill leading down to Big Dutc man's Creek, the Wyalt Davis hi just beyond, and the Bryant hiii. Ti ether bills, after a liit'.e gradii down, will offer no difficulty. My problem was to obviaie tl above named hills, by the selection ether routes with much lees ?,rrad and to do this without appreciab lengthening the present distance ar without incurring the necessity labor beyond that procurable f: om t] county chain gang. Luckily, owing to the topograpl of the neighboring lands, the proble admitted a practicable solution. The Ford hill wa? gstten rid of \ diverting the road to a ravine t] north, securing a gradual ascent fro the foot of the hill to a point in tl present road a short distance this si( of the Ford house. The new ro? being about the same length as tl old. At the llion hill the new rou makes a much greater defection, leaves the old road at the creek, go north or down the edge of the cree bottom for about one hundred yard then takes up a ravine and comes 01 in the present road near where tl preseat road and the abandoned ro? unite.

At Ten Mile hill a new route on tl east side running near Loyd Davis Bpring was selected and has bee opened by the chain gang. Its leng: is about the same as the old roote ar the grade is very easy. At the Wyatt Dawkins Hill a co: siderable deflection was made to tl south, securing a much less grade, t crossing the ridge at a lower poin The new route tUen proceeds, near level, to the summit of the Bryai Hill, when it comes again into the o road. The Bryant Hill and anothi this side of it being thus replaced Dy road nearly level. This new route about one hundred yards longer th? the old one. About one quarter mile this sit of Simpsons the projected road wi again leave the old road and takiDg northeast direction, nearly level, w: enter the Longtown road about 01 quarter mile from Simpsom foliowir tbe original, abandoned road, at saving about four hundred yaras distance. It may be necessary to corduroy tl creek bottoms?bridging will be ic practicable?as they are very wid However, those who arc familiar wi the road say that these bottoms a: always passable and are not to I dreaded. The two large sluices i washouts have alieady been filled i with rock and will give no farthi trouble. < In fulfilling the instructions of tl committee I have used ray best effort knowing that, if successful, the woi would mark a departure from o methods and institute an intellige system of road management. I mus however, caution you not to cxpe firm road beds on these new rout until they have been packed by tfl years of travel; yet they ought not be worse in this respect than the o roads after being thrown up by t chain gang. . Respectfully submitted J M Stewart. Supervisor Teunant informs us th while the chain gang has not qui finished work on the road to wnn the above refers, it is open for Irav and may now be used.
