We notice that several of the papers of the State that the South Carolina college authorities have tucked their notices ot examination for scholarships, upon the court house doors, instead of advertising it in the county papers. We have not been watch 1d? the court nouHe aoor ana au uuu &uun wuciuci any advertisement has been placed there this summer or not. Of course do one would know anythiug about it if so placed. We are satisfied that there are at least 35,000 people In York oounty who never see the court house door aud who, therefore, could know nothing: of any advertisement placed thereon. The set now iu charge of the South Carolina college is not a very brilliant one and we expect a little lusty. It has at least taken the best course to insure a small attendance while each of the faculty is assured of drawing a fat salary throughout the year. TO 1 w. ill find N< ins.

Some Practical HaKgeiillODi on a Subject Which in Now of Interest to Onr People. We believe the more people think about the' change the town has made lu introducing the Rystem of measuring water Bold, the more people will favor It and come to regard It as the only equitable way to sell water. There ought to be nothing revolting abont a proposition to pay simply /or what yon get, neither1 less nor more. The man wbo is usinj more than he knows be Is entitled to may object, but be has no Just reason lo do so. It has been evident for some time the system of no limitation In the quantity of water used has made the water cost the town much more tdan it reoelved for It. This expense the town could not stand Indefinitely under the present Bystera of low taxation and economical ad ministration that must necessarily follow. The people are averse to more taxes; therefore it is neceHsary tbat they either curtail the amount of water used, that the rates, be raised or that some system be Introduced by I which the consumer will pay for what be uses at a rate per thousand gallons to be agreed on. Some think this last plan is the proper one, but tbat they should not furnish the meters. It Is simply a matter of business and if they furnish the meters they get the water at a lower rate; If the town furnishes the meter, tbe consumer will necessarily have to pay more per thnnaanri for his water and tbus eventually defray tbecoBtofthe meter?an operation by which be buys the meter on the Instalment plan yet is never entitled to any of tbe benefits of ownership. In many towns tbe consumer Is required to furnish the meter. In other places, where tbe water rate can be placed nigh enougb, tbe town will furnish tbe meter. Some expert opinion on this and a list of rateB of other water using towns might prove of Interest to our readers. Mr. S. L. Miller, of Colombia, formerly of Yorkvllle and still owning considerable property here has written to a member of tbe town counoll in reply to some inquiry as to meter rates. He says: "Enclosed I send you lists of towns using meters, furnished by Mr. Wilson tbe engineer, and tbe rates they cbarge for water, Chester charges 30 cents per thousand and Mr. Wilson says It costs Chester 18 cents per thousand to pump her water and be would suggest In order to form some idea of what it takes to pump your water that you would permit people to continue to use it Just as they are doing and you keep an itemized expense of what it costs to pump It, Including the wages of your engineer. He does not think you could posllbiy come oat for less than 35 cents per thousand. He furthermore staled that it is a very common thing for tbe water works people to require tbe consumers to furnish the meters and where tbey do that they also give tbe consumer tbe right to permit the company or town to furnish tbe meter, but In that case tbey require tbe consumer to pay more for his water. Say for instance you cbarge tbe consumer 25 cents per thousand and he will furnish the meter or 35 cents per thousand and tbe town would furnish tbe meter." The lists of towns referred to is as follows: METER UATE3 i'Ktt iuw urAiiiiUno. Maxl- Minmum. Imurn. Farmvllle.Va 30o ? Portsmouth, Va, 30 20 Pulaski, Va., 30 ? Wythevllle, Va 20 10 Fayettevllle, N.

Norfolk, Aug. 14.?The report of the sale of the Atlantic and Danville railway to the Southern system is confirmed. Negotiations which have neen in prugieou ouu.v.,u,v past have been consummated, and tbe Atlantic and Danville will this fall become an Integral part of the Southern railway system. The Southern's trains will probably run over the newly acquired line to Pinner's Point, where the Soutoern's great terminals are located. The arrangement will probably abrogate the existing trackage arrangement between tbe Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern railway, and tbe latter's Norfolk and Chattanooga express will be run via Danville instead or through Selma and Kalelgb. It will not shorten the schedule materially. OF rE v +1 m Q "j"A a* UXJJLLv/ WW g great mai ah r_i iiici m TRADE AND ARE 7MMER MONTHS. HI i % DEATH OF J. R, CUNNINGHAM . t Some Incidents In tbe La?t Days of a Former Beloved Citizen of Abbe* ville. Chapel Hill, S. C., Miss., Aug. 8,1899. Editor Press and Banner: Dear Hir?Thinking it might be of Interest to you ana maay or toe readers 01 toe press and Banner to know something of the sickness and death of the late J. K. Cummlng ham, I will endeavor to tell you something about It. Early In the spring he contracted a cold which did not get any better, and feeling a little uneasy about himself, rode about four miles to see the dootor. After the doctor prescribed lor him, he started home. Went by the postofflce to get the mall. About the time be reached the postofflce he was taken with severe pains In his body. Mr. W. M. Buford, who keeps the postofflce, and who was a very warm friend of his, took him In his house and seat for the doctor. He came and administered medicine, which gave him relief. He stayed with Mr. Buford two or three days, and was able to go back to Mrs. F. E. Dorroh's, where he was making bis home, since the death of her son, as she and her daughter and little granddaugbter were alone and wanted him to stay with them for company. On the fifth Sabbath In April he rode horsehack to Lebanon church, about seven mlleB. When be came home bis feetand ankles were very much swolen, but by morning the swelling bad subsided. Every few days his feet and ankles would swell up, but still he would go around, visit his nephews and their families (J.J. and A. H. Liddell) who lived about a mile from him,and wonld work in blsgarden, which he took a great pride in, and kept in fine fix. After a while be gut so be was not able to get about much. Then he moved over to the home of J. J. Liddell and spent the remainder of bis life there. After be was confined to the house he satin a chair nearly all the time, as he suffered from shortness of breath whenever|be would lie down. He always held family worship wherever he stayed, and even while he was sick, be ofiered up some beautiful prayers. The neighbors were very kind to come and set up with him and help nurse him. I don't think I ever saw a more devoted sister than , was our agea rnoioer, airs. n,. a. ijiaaeu. onu was continually around bis bedside trying to do something for him to make him as comfortable as possible. He continued to grow worse all the time, but was always glad to see his friends, and would talk to them whenever they would come. Two or three days before the end came he got so he could not talk much, but would look at those around his bed and work his tongue as though be were trying to say something. About two o'clock Tuesday, the 11th day of July, 1899, he fell asleep In Jesas. . Relative. ?i^-0 ? Bargains at Haddoo'fi. New arrivals In white goods at Haddon's.
