The dispensary has recently paid 25, 000 into the school fund and the Comptroller General has appor tioned it among the counties in making up the deficiancies as they appear from the County Superin tendents of the State. Some of the counties reported no deficien cies. What remains of the $25, 000 and the additional funds re ceived from dispensary profits dur ing the year will be apportioned among the counties according to the number of children enrolled. Our county treasurer has received $789.00 of (he deficiency fuud which will be divided among the schools according: to their needs bv Superintendent Nicholson. -I teeuic^. club at Ropers was rec . convention.

To the Contributors, Frieuds and Members of the Edgefield Mon ument Association : It is is with pleasure I announce that the efforts to collect a suffici ent sum of money to pay the in debtednes of tho association in tho erection of the monument to the the memory of our Confederate dead, have at last been crowned with success, and that all debts over the same have been paid, leaving a balance on hand, which I shall pay over to the town coun cil of Edgefield to assist them in the erection of an iron railing around the monument, asl am re liably informed such is their in tention. I wish to express to each mem ber of the association my heartfelt thankB and appreciation for their untiring and zealous assistance in this grand and noble work; to tin: contributors and friends, the as sociation's most profound grati tude foi their generous contribu tions and good graces; to the County newspapers and various correspondents of the State press, the lasting obligations for courte sies and kindnesses, I must especially thank Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Cnarlotte, N. C., for his assistance, but for whose generous gifte,untiriug ene:gy,aud valuable advice and suggestions we would have failed in our most worthy cause. The purpose for which tho asso ciation was orgauized haviug been accomplished, and as it will be al most impossiblo to assemnh) ite members,I take this method and opportunity of dissolving the same, and resigning the position ns President, whose duties I have faithfully endeavored to perform to the best of my ability. Asking God's divine blessing on each and all of you, I am sincerely, MRS. GEN. N. G. EVANS. An Oasis. AJI of our merchants have Agreed (o elope their store?' from now un til September 1st, at 7 o'clock,Sat urdays excepted. Tt is well. This will be a pleasant oasis to t i ie clerk;-. T!if bachelor cierta can take a stroll or a promenade with his dearest, girl and the married ones can go home and play with the baby aud get it lo sleep. Edgefield bnsiue^s men are only like the balance of the American people who are wearing themselves out in the raen for the almighty dollar and after all very few over take il. We ought, Uk? the stur dy old Roman, seek to have "a souud mind iu a sound body," which cannot be had without di version and recreation. Look pri marily to your health, secondarily to your wealth. The former the latter cannot buy. Employors nev er lose by giving employees oppor tunity for wuoi?Porae recreation. Summer School loi- Teachers. Mr. A. R. Nicholson, tho Coun ty Superintendent of Education, after couferriug with the State Superintendent, has decided to opeu the Summer school for the teachers of Edgefield county about June 25th. Much good has been accomplished in the cause of edu cation throughout the state by these Summer schools. The Edge field county school gives promise of surpassing all previous ones. A competent corps of specialists will be iu charge. Every teacher of the county, unless providential ly kept away, should attend every lecture from the opening till the closing day. The time is coming, and may public sentiment hasten the day, when a teacher who does not atteud these normal schools will, to U?e a common phrase, be out of a job. We shall-have more to say later on this very important subject. Mrs.. Margaret McHugh. On Saturday afternoon las', af ter a short illness,in her 76th year, Mrs. Margaret McHugh breathed her last. A good womau has pass ed from life to death, not death but iDto life eternal. Airs. McHugh was a native of Ireland. In 1S56 she came to America and located at Philadel phia. Three years later she came to Edgefield to be with her brother William Logue, who was practic ing law here at that time. Through outlier Ij.jgiiff, most of which was spent among us, in spito of many crosses and vicissitudes, she has always been a consecrated wo man. H*r loyalty and devotion to her church were no- only b >uti ful but should he umulattKl by many'uke wa rm Ch istiuus. Four children survive he?*, Mr?. W. H. Turner, C. K. and V? . R. Mc ii ugh aud a daughtei who resides in Philadelphia. Her remains were laid to rest evening mot uy announcing that he would gi va them a picnic on Saturday. To heighten the ec stacy of the visions of pleasure that j loomed up before thurn he left the place at which the picnic was to be held to their selection, to be de cided by ballot. Several places were put in nomination, as it were, but Centre Spring being the most pop ular place won. It seems that this place so beautifully located and environed was provided by nature as a rendezvous for those who are pleasure bent. All the wagous, carts, buggies, mountain wagons, tallyhoes-everything on wheels except automobiles-were pressed iuto service to carry the gay and light-hearted pleasure seekerb from the diu and tumult of our city to this sequestered spot for a day's outiug. The young ladies attired in the gauzy fabrics of the season and wearing broad malaga hats with long streamers unfurled to the breeze were typical Summer girlB. The boys, though handsome, being made of ordinary clay like the balance of mankiu?, contrast ed with the angelic companions at their sides, showed off to a disad vantage. The pavillion reached, Cupid soon paired off the young people aud mauy a tete-a-tete of the day will be long remembered. A de lightful picnic luncheon was serv ed at ihe dinuer hour. All declare that the only thing that marred the pleasure of the occasion was that the day was entirely too short. As the desceudiug 6uu lengthened the shadows the bright and smil ing faces became overshadowed for the day's pleasure was at an end and all were soon homeward hound VISIT TI 113 EXPOSITION. Cheap Hates arc XOTV Given on Tuesday:) and Thursdays. Thu Southern railroad, the At lantic Coast Line, ?-nd tho Plant System haye arning .d to continue the sale of the cheap Tuesday tick ets to the Exposition, as sold dur ing the mouth of April, ou every Tuesday and Thursday during the month of May. This will enable all who have not yet visited the Exposition to do BO during its closing month, and those who have visited it, to agaiu take advantage of the low rate offered, as many undoubtedly ?nil. There has beeu a great deal said through the columns of the news papers in regard to the exposition, audits many attractive features. There is one however, that has been almost entirely ignored or overlooked by all correspondents, aud probably from the fact that its loca.ion is such as not to attract general attention. Reference is made to the Grass Garden of the United States, Agricultural Depart ment, v-hich consists of four acree of {.'lound, and is located jost fast of the encampment of thu Marine corps. Every farmer who visitf j the exposition should visit this g&aden. Hore are to be found growing o'rer fifty different species of forage crops suitable for our Southern suns, as well as wheat, rye and barley of mauy kinds. The seeds of the different forage cropa referred to have been gath ered from Africa, Egypt, China, Ireland, Seo!land, England, Au stralia and many other countries. The represen ? ati ve of the Agri cultural Department in charge of tte garden, is a practical farmer, and cou give the visitor full in formation regarding each aud ev ery species of the crop, and it can be said to every farmer, if he can spare time to come down, even if he spends only one day al the exposition, let him carefully study these forage crops, get a list of ouch as he wantd to use, and he will be ten times repaid for the ex pense of the trip, and for the time he may think he is losing from his farm.
