PHOF. H. T. COXSiden
Toy Cox, who comes
*osglgraded school work, to beassistant
professor at Fursuisi
in English and Mathemut
c.i, has already made a splendid
.word in his chosen profession.
le is a r urman alumnus ot some
Tears back.-South Carolina Bap
sist..
Ib.3 fact that Mr. Cox is to be*
?>/ue a professor in Furman Uni>*?rsity
has been known to us for,
a?me time, but at the request ot
sur informant no mention was
ttude of the matter in these col*
?ans. Mr. Cox is a model young
man and an educator of much
jiromise. lie made a line record |
principal of the Lancaster
traded school, and later as prinsip&l
of the lleath-Springs school.
Jis many friends here and I
throughout the country will re-j
jpice to hear of his promotion in i
jtis chosen profession.
JUNE COURT AND THE DISPENSARY.
??*ere is not enough criminal
<M?iness to warrant holding the
regular June term of court for|
iiiniaeter county an 1 none will

R>titied grand jurors that thev
till not be needed.
This speak ; well for the good ,
O i'er of our coun'y and we are I
.much pleased to he able to re i
a* rd the fact. We do wonder i!
"the dipmsary papers would j
wye account for the foregoing
itircumatance in- the fac' that |
u?nca*ter coun,y has no di-penurv

Now, really and seriously, j
low much of the present *
mod behavior of our people is
lue to the absence of the t
lispensary is, in our humble a
)piuion, largely a matter ot spec- 1
ilation. The fact that there is r
not enough criminal business to f
warrant the holding of the June t
term of court cannot be attribut- t
?d to that cause?certainly not 1
to that cause altogether, tor, it <
will be recalled, for the same I
reason?no business ? no June
court was ^helu last year, when I
the dispensary was in full blast.
As a matter of fact, if our memory
is not at fault, there was less
occasion for a June court last
year than there is for a June
term now. There are now three
prisoners in jail awaiting trial,
while this time last year, according
to our recollection, there was
only one.
COL. Wm BANKS AND THE OFFICE
OF SECRETARY OF STATE.
We have heard that there is an
effort being made by the friends
of Col. Win. Banks, of Colurab a,
to induce him to run for Secretary
of State. There is no man in
South Carolina in the range of
acquaintance of this writer who
could fill the office with more
distinction, dignity and efficiency,
and while his election would
spoil one of the best newspaper
men extant, yet the public service
would be greatly enriched
thereby.?Sumter Herald.
We heartily endorse what the
Herald so well says in commendation
of Col. Bank) as a newspaper
man and as to his preeminent
fitness for the office of secretary
of state. The young colonel
may rest assured that if he'
concludes to en'er the race he
will receive enthusiastic support
in this part of the state, as well
as elsewhere, no doubt.
I
The layman who deliberately
plunges headlong into a theolo
gical discussion with a learned
doctor of divinity bears the unmistakable
earmarks of one of
those tools who rush in where]
angels tear to tread: and realiz-'
lug that fact, we are not going |
to take issue with our esteemed |
friend Dr. Gardner, of the Green-!

I Wonderful lien ?.I True Story.
Mr. L. P Mack*y,ot the Bruce
teighborhood, is the possessor of
i most remarkable hen. She
ays in any old place, under the
nost extraordinary circumstances
ind doesn't seem to care a "con-J
mental" whether she has anyhing
to eat or no*. The famous
Dr. Tanner is not in it when it
lomes to a tasting contest with
[his heu.
Some time ago the hen in ques*
lion fell into Mr. Mackey's well.
It was just ten day9 from the ^
time of her disappearance in the
well before Mr. Mackey succeeded
in getting a man to ciean the
well out, by which time he ex
pected to find nothing of her
henship except bones, feathers
and foul fowl flesh. After the
water had been drawn off the man
descended to the bottom of the
well, where he found nothing but
a lot of egg shells. As he was
wng i?? uie tup ;ii: tin, wondering
what had become ot Mr.
Mackey'fi hen, he suddenly dis
covered her snuglv ensconced in
acrevicein the wall. Taking her
in Ins arms he brought her on
out and turned her loose, and as
she ran off in search of her sweetheart
it was ^evident to those
watching her that her little rock
bed and long fasting stunt had i
produced no bad results.
H ow the hen survived tendavs I
- - ?
without food or water is truly a
inysterv. The presence ol shells j
in the well is accounted for upon
ilie theory that the imprisoned
hen helped to pas* the weary
hours away bv occasionally laymi?
an egg.
