If there be any profit in wood at $1.35 and $1.50 per fiord after paying for Hie cutting and hauling it a d's tance of from three to niue miles we have never been able to see it. Again we say it is well that tbs mill will buy no more wood in the future, Marvelous Growth, It was quite unkind of Thomas Moore to have penned these lines, "My only books "Were womnn's looks "And foily*sall they've taught me." Besides "woman's look?," which, by the way, do not all teach folly, Edgefield has rt al books that were provided by persevering, energet ic, self sacrificing women who have labored in season and out of season for the success of the pub lic library. In two short years the number of books have been increased, through the efforts of ?these good ladies, from several dozen to nearly three hundred.. Having been carefully and wisely selected the assortment is com plete. All of the cases having been filled new ones have bern or dered,also a goodly number o!' books that are fresh from the pens of some of the most popular authors.

This means $40 in cash to the student, besides remission of $40 tuition and of 518 matriculation term fee. Thus the scholarship student will receive from the College $5 a month for eight months to assist him in his necessary living expenses. REGULATIONS BY THE BOARD. 1. Applicants shall be young men at least nineteen years of age. The pur pose of the General Assembly being to encourage men * ?achers, preference will be given to those who furnish sat isfactory evidence of having already taught for at least one session, and with success; but if from any county there be no suitable applicants who have taught, the scholarship of that county may be awarded to a young man who only intends to teach. 2. Applications ?hall be made to the president of the College, at Columbia, before July 1st, upon prescribed blanks furnished by the President or by County Superintendents of Education, upon re quest.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. . Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys, li the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar 1 sizes. You may have a | sample-bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell- nomo of sramr-Root. ing all about it, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured.
