Co-Edacational inst if .te. r^ _ Baptist Conner. This institution has many friends and patrons in South Car olina who will read the following from President F F K Bailey with roa) pleasure: <*I know that you will be delighted to bear that we nave opened with more studems than ever bef?te in the his tory of the institution. There are 151 boarders present, and quite a number who ?nate engaged places, bnt were detained ak hnaai on account of sick ness will come in next week. As you ne doubt know, we spent tr on sa cds of dollars during the summer making improvement* in the building,putting in new pianos, furnitnre, etf. The 'day we opened we fonnd oor build ings were insulBoient to accommodate those who were actually here. Very fortunately for us, however, we secur ed another building near the college, and in 24 hours turned it into a bar racks for the young men. We are all delighted with the new members of the faculty, and everything points to the most prosperous Bession in the his tory of the Institute." A Deplorable Accident, Special to The State. DILLON, S. CU Oct. ll.-Two young mea, Baker Casque and Arthur Cot tinham, thought they w mid have a lit tle fun last night near Gallavon at the expense of a searry darkey. The ne So took tbe joke seriously and fired to tbs party, tba fc^gof bird shot i effect ja M/.Gasqne'a face, neck ed had found the young min seriously burt. The loss of one ?ye is regarded as isq&itabie sud perhaps of the other also. Although a most deplorable ac cident; Mr. Oasxne lt a steady, sober and industrious yonng mao. His fa ther is the Ber. J. Mast?n Gasque, a most estimable citizen of this com munity, whose family connections ex tend over the en lire county. Mr. Gasqne is a brother of Mrs. A. F.Perkins, of Edgefleid. Her father wrote bertbat be feared that bis eye sight waa destroyed, but ali attention poeaibl was given bim by physicians and Misa Jennie Gasqne, a trained nurse who recently graduated from tbe Charleston City Hospital. It is sad indeed, but in it is a lesson to all yonng men. It is boped that at least one eye may be saved. It ?is a severe blow to Mrs. Prrkins. Somewhat of a Liar Myself. That ?B the title of a book by J W DB Yore, Esq,, of Edgefield The very suggestive title of this book will be most fully appreci ated and enjoyed, as the reader passes an from ?.??8 to .page and finds each more filled with interest and excitement than the last, and becomes exhausted with enthusi asm Offer tlie dramatic climaxes of i pagination which terminate the finale of mott of the episodes It is predicted with proverbial assur ance, that this nnique volume will not fail to interest deeply the peo pled of ail nations who are prone to study the trend of bureau thought, and may readily con cede to Ibis comprehensive writer Ito enviable fillet of renown and tnceeas, which is the jost abd ex alted acquisition of all talented authors. The ojiginality of tb if work mast claim for it a high place in the realm of fiction. Af ter reading the courtship of Ran Sydenstricker and his fiancee, Lindy Beeswax, their characters will ever sound forth in memory's page?, whiio the soiloquy of the author must satisfy the best in formad, as well as the mos I ig norant.

Mr*. Margaret S my ley JL an drum "The days of our years are three score years and ten ; if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength, labor and sorrow ; for it is soon cut off and we fly away.'' There are very few whose earth ly sojourn passes beyond this lim it, but God in His good Providence has lately called away one who had been left with the earthly loved ones for four-score and four years. Mrs Landrnm, the oldeet of a large family who, all savo one,have long since passed into the great beyond, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs James Holland, on Tuesday afternoon, October 8th. She had always been one of the useful,praotioal, faithful and kind hearted souls whom everybody honored and many loved, with a lasting affection which only she could inspire in human breasts. This separation from her, the lov ed ones viewed with au overwhelm ing sorrow, but great comfort came with the thought that she had many to welcome her on the other shore, for she had lived long enough to have many more in hea ven than on earth. Mother and father, sisters and brothers, seven children.and several grand chil dren, to all whom she was so de voted and of many of whom she of ten spoke. Time had somewhat assuaged the bitterness of her first grief over these sad partings, but she loved these dear ones none the less. She has gone to them, and while eartnly loved ones mourn and lament her loss, those on the other shore, wonder that they do so, foi they know full well what blessedness and joy are hers iu the eternal city to which she has gone. On Thursday morning the re mains were carried to the Stev ?ns Creek church and buried in the family cemetery, beside her ion, Jumps Laudrum, who, during the Confederate war, died away from friends, home and mother. They are re-united now in the land of perfect day. At this burying ground are the graves of all of this large and influential family, at one time the most prominent in that section of the county. Rev P P Blalock was present and con ducted the funeral services at the grave, a simple service, only a prayer and a hymn, as Mrs La nd rum had often expressed a desire that there should be no ostentation jn this occasion. Mrs Laudrum's latte'years were as little years of "labor and sor row" as the thoughtfulness of her children could make them. Her two daughters, Mrs Kate Mime aud Mrs James Holland, six grand children, and two great grand children all lived near ber and with her. They were attentive, sympathetic aud affectionate all through life growing more and more so duTingher declining years and she often expressed a thauk fnlwheart for the kindness aud love of her childreu. Although it had been more than twelve years since Mrs Landrum had left her old home near Meet ing Street, and she had visited tho scenes cf ber childhood but few times since, around her grave gathered a large number of rela tives and old friends, who seemed to feel her loss and grieve over it, as if it had been but yesterday siuce she had been one among them. So the lives and deeds of the good and just can never be for gotten. Messrs J L Mims and Bettie Cantelou left Edgefield on Mon day to attend the United States court in Greenville. Tomorrow Messrs W D Karney, W T Huff and Hugh Auderson will leave for the Mountain city on the same mission. Also Mr Walter Holston.
