Col. E. H. Folk, of Edgefied was in Saluda Monday looking after some business matters in this County.-Saluda Advocate. Gen. Butler's scheme for the col inisation of the negro has become connected with the idea of force, which he has distinctly repudiated. After all, there are but two really bad things about cigaiette smoking. One is the cigarette and the other is the fellow who smokes it. B. R. Tillman, Jr., last week fin ished his course in stenography at the Neele-Heverlo Business col lege, and left for a visit to Clemson college after which he will return to Trentou to resume his position as private secretary to his father. Mr. Tillman made many friends during his stay in this city who regret his departure.-Spartanburg Headlight. The reads of Anderson county in this section are worked almost ex clusively by the road machinery, andar? now as smooth and firm as pavement. In dry weather the clay here is superior to asphalt and when the roadbed is well rounded so as shed the water they stand ordinary rains very well. The efficiency of the road machine is here demonstrated beyond doubt. -Advocate. Last June there graduated from the South Carolina College a young man who broke all records at that institution, john Swearingen, of Edgefield, though blind, went through the entire, college course and graduated at the bead of his class. He was pronounced by tbe faculty the most remarkable man they had ever known. Upon his graduation Mr. Swearingen wont to his home in Edgefield, where he has quietly spent the summer.

The cause of education is indeed one that should command our highest admiration and respect, and that should solicit our co-ope ration and support. Upon nothing does the welfare of our homes and of our coudtry depeud more than upon a liberal Christian education. We cannot rest for support upon the superficial structures so largely depended upon in the fashionable world of to-day. We cannot lay the foundation for our achieve ments in life upon public favor supported and upheld by wealth, for verily then we have bot buila ed upon the shifting sanuo of the seu-shore, that are washed hither and thither at the will of the great restless ocean. We must seek something moro solid. We all have talents, and have we not re ceived with them the great injunc tion, "occupy till I come?" Then is tne cause of education that which develops and cultivates these talents-truly a great cause, and how it ought to receive our whole attention and enlist mir sympathy ! Never was there nobler work in which to engage-the great work of moulding and edu cating immortal souls, not only for this life but for that which is to come. How stirring and inspiring it is to read of the strenuous efforts that are being put forth to carry on the work of education, and of the untiring energy manifested by our instructors and trainers 1 Why should we be interested in educa tion? It is because we are obliged to be educated in order to meet the demands of the age and future con nection successfully. Look about us, what is the need of the hour? What do we need most at home what in the great world around us? It is educated Christian ladies aud gentlemen. Realizing this great tact, we should call attention to this great need in the school room, and endeavor to impress upon the minds of the pupils the need of an education. In fact our Echools and colleges duties thorp. It. is understood v to be his purpoie to save his money and complete his education at Harvard University. He is ambit ioned to enter the legal profession. -Anderson Intelligencer. Tho following we clip from the Manning Times, lt relates to Prof. Simeon Smith, a graduate of the S. C. CL, who has many friends in Edgefield: The Packsville High School opened on Thursday last uuder tAe management of Prof. S. E. Smith, Miss Marion Kruse assisting. Addresses were delivered by Rev. Conners, Mr. Wells, school commissioner, and Mr. Bradb am, a Citadel cadet. The enrollment was very encouraging. The people of Packsville having realized the great impoor tance of education tu their midst, have put their shoulders to the wheel, and by their earnest efforts, they have a good a well established high school in this little town. It is hoped that this may be the most pleasant and prosperous session in the history of the school. ?^MtffWC CUBAN OIL eurea IT a^BWvl ?9 Cuts, Barns, Bruises, Ehen ma tis m and Sores.

AUGUSTA. OA. are the doors through which en trance should be gained to the theater of active life. No one is capable of fighting successfully the great battles that must come with out having been armed with a Christian education. Surely the youth of South Carolina at largo will not Btand idly and see the banner of knowledge and intelli gence trampled in the dust by ig norance and degradation. Let us equip ourselves to meet the vari ous duties that are to confront us in life. Let us cultivato the tal ents that have been given us, and beware that we conceal not to rust in the earth. Now, young ladies and gentle men, we have to sacrifice time and money to attain au education, cer tainly the end to be reached will justify any sacrifice ir any effort that may be made. All positions in life are being filled more and more by educated meuaud women, especially those o? trust and honor. Remember that learning is alwayB at a premium and will always be in demand. Many a man would have been au honor and blessiug to bin country has gone into eter nity unnoticed, unknown and un heard, simply localise his t?lente were undeveloped.

The cotton seed oil market ia fa a state of wild confusion. So unsettled are the conditions thja,_L the two leading. manufacturing concerns in the trade have refused to make any contracts whatever for the future delivery of oil. Prime summer 3'ellow in large quantities was sold in the New York market last week for 30cents per gallon, when the highest price obtained last year at this time was 22 1-2 cents per gallou. ' So strong is the situation that the trade generally is looking for 40-cent oil before the 1st of next month. The causes leading to the advance this year are two-fold, the scarcitv of seed at home and the short production of olive oil in Italy and the Mediterranean section. Seed is selling at twice the price it sold last year. In Texas there have been sales as high as $18 per ton, delivered at the mills, while the maximum price last year was $9 per ton, and some sold as low aa $6. The development of the cotton seed oil industry has been marked within the past five years. Where only one-third of the seed crop in former times was utilized for mak ing pi!, it has grown until now twothirds of all the seed is convert ed into a mbrchautable product, instead of being spread upon ?jae ground as a fertilizer. Europe has also learned to substitute cotton seed oil more and mo'e for olive oil. The use of oil in cooking in Italy, France and Spain and, in fact, throughout the Continent has so increased that the olive crop has been insufficient to supply the demand even in a bounteous year. The-demand for cotton seed oil as a substitue or for the purpose of mixing with olive oil have grown to enormous proportions. The ex ports from the United States have gi own from 2,690,700 gallons in 1889 to 40,230,784 gallons in lb98. There is practically no oil on the market at the present time, and there is a large demand.-N. Y. Commercial. Buggies ! Buggies ? Buggies! It means dollars to you.
