W. Penrifoy, J. Frank Fooshe, Morrison Bethea and William Scott The weather is exceedingly hot and dry here, but despite the weather the teachers are enjoying ihe work and the recreation immensely. The dining hall is verv large and eisilv &eats all lhe teacherp. To see J ? over three hundred teachers eating dinner at the same time is a sight well worth seeing. From what I have seen I think some of oar Fairfield teachers are taking a "campus course." That seems to be quite a popular course with some. Rock Hill, July 25. M. W. P. QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, Angust Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmother* lever thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis.

Saturday, July 21st, was Children's Day at Bethel Chnrch. As nenal, it was a perfect success. All the children deserve credit for the excellent manner in which ihey acted. Their perfect recitations and the spirited manner in which ihe songs were rendered showed that they had the interest of Childen's Day in their hearts. In addition to the program, we had an address by Mr. English Camak. It was an earnest, heartfelt talk, fall of wisdom and advice to nis young comrades, and indeed we older ones would do well to give heed to his remarks on that occasion. English is one of "our boys" and is a consecrated yonng Christian. We are prayerfully watching his career, and hope that bis ambitious dreams for the falure will be fully realized. We also had an instructive talk from our young missionary, Miss Agoes Knff. ohe gave us an insight L> '.he training school for missionaries in Kansas, of which she is a member. Like herself, her talk was sweet and interesting, and listening to her seemed to bring the cause ot missions nearer to U3. We are proud to know that one of our own girls has enlisted in active service for oar Master. God bless her, and grant that her sweet influence may lead many to Christ. We must mention little Elizabeth Speigner. That child is a prodigy. Her recitations and singing would do credit to a large girl, whereas she is a mere baby, possessed with a wonderful voice and memory. The managers of Bethel's Children's Day are to be congratulated, and the immense crowd showed its appreciation by its close attention and good behavior. Miss Sallie Raff, the organist, drew i out the sweet, powerful 'ones of the new crgan, and I know no one enjoyed the good mnsic more than she, for she was one of the chief workers in baying that organ. Bethel is blessed with working young members. They have risen up to take the place of the older that have left us. The wricer's thoughts wandered back to the firs} Children's Day she spent at Bethel, and in fancy she could see the forms of her loved friends, Agnes and Janie, who are now singing in heaven.

Gary, Speaker of the House, was the first orator of the occasion and was well received. He 8a>s: The Democratic party orders us to appear here today that we may be seen and heard. We are here to discuss issues and not to sling mud, and if tbere is any man hero who came to see that kind of iinrg, i am giaa 10 say be will be disappointed. I am here lo urge views, criticiz) the adminblration and opinions of those who preceded me and also of those who are with me now.

I would welcome, as quickly as any man., pro- ? hibition if it were possible for it to be, j and wobld mean temperance. But j prohibition will not reach temperance. and why? Because it has been tried and has failed in other States and in counties of Soutn Carolina. Col. Hoyt I will cite Maine, but I tell you that pro- e hib'.ti',n in Maine is a failure, and I'll ^ prove i' by the Dernocraiic platform of t Maine itself. They have made the c liqnor question the fundamental plank t of their campaign for this year after ^ trying prohibition for forty years. ? Under prohibition blind tigers will jj flourish, and the final outcome will be d the old barroom system. It is safe to * say that Gary made a good imaressiou j a [on the people, and gained strength ? here. s A. H. Patterson says that Gary always concludes his speeches by saying "Tote for Bryan and Garv." Voice: * t "Hurrah for Bryan." There is one B thing that Gary always does, and that j is to hope for the c!2 6oldiers. Bnt we never have seen anything that he has done for tbem. Smith took down his speech in Charleston, and the charges thai I have made against him for dodging in Charleston are true, and I'll prove them. He declares here that he is for the dispensary, bat ia Charleston it son ;ded like local w option to me, and I believe the . people there so understood him. I am | for the dispensary, and I want it understood, I dou't dodge it. Gary was cheered in Charleston but I wasn't and it was because I fold them that if I am elected governor, I will enforce the dispensary law, and I tell you so i to-day. Governor McSweeney has ' not done it, and doesn't seem to be \ very anxious to do so. He never sees n anything. I have asked him if he didn't see the open bar rooms in t Charleston with ail their bar fixtures, ^ but he didn.t see them. Vole: "You'll ,, never be governor." All .he news- r papers are fighting me, because they know that if I am elected governor the law will be enforced, and this is not what they want. They think that this prohibition issue will result in p open bar woms in the long run, and that is what ih^f want. I am thank- t fal for the primary because in it I can ? appear before the people and Jet them , know what I am and not depend upon * the newspapers for it. I don't believe y prohibition is possible, and I stand before you to show you why it is not, and ,1 don't depend upon the papers for anything. I have becu honored br my "connty since I was twentythree years old and am still honored, II and defy any man to bring against me ^ any charge.

The dispensary law is the n best law ever put upon the statute . books of Sontb Carolina, and stands a monument to the Eelorm movement. ' Governor McSweeney was the next speaker, and in his speech he showed how he had labored to give the people of South Carolina an honest government and one rnn upon a common sense basis. He said under my administration the dispensary law has been better enforced thsn in any previous administration. Gov. Tillman could not enforee it, nor can any other man until the people want it enforced. I have reduced the constabulary, and saved money, and restored Order and peace, and have instructed I my constables to perform their duties on all occasions, and Pi! remove them if they don't do it. Cel. Hoyt made a rery earnest appeal to the people tor prohibition de- ^ daring that it is the only solution. He says, "I stand alone, on the one ? issue prohibition. I am fought by " every-candidate, from Senator Tillman ? dowd, but I feel tbat I am right and ? I rely upon the people for their 6up? *; port There is no unholy alliance as ? has been said, nut we are going to win P the day, and then peaie and prosperity ? will reign throughout onr land." At the close of Col. Hoyt's speech he was presented with a beautiful bouquet. G. v - t Whitman came next and turned vii the gatthng gun and every othorgunof modern times but what I " he mid nobody knows. All the candidates f ?r L;eu\ Governor w< re presenc and did their s-hare ofharangmg. After thev ha<J finished the program was varied and Senator B R.

After Tillman had finished Dr. Tim- 2. merman was introduced and spoke in a complimentary manner of Capf. J nnings. Cap?.
