The Summer School.
Mil Kditok:?The Summer
School now in progress ut this
place deserves patronage and em
couragement There has been
enrolled about thirty-live scholars
?teachers who are teaching school t
in the county. The school is eonducted
by Dr Harrison, professor
of Knglish literature at Davidson
College, N. C., and by I'rof Hambo
of the Graded School at Sumter
in this Stale. These two men
are certainly scholars of a high
grade, and are well versed in the
most approved methods of teaching.
The teacher of this county
who is not in attendance, and who
has thus preferred to aviod hiins
If or herself of this great opp? rt
tin it y of heco liing more skilled
in learning and in the best mode
of imparting instruction, is standing
in his or her own light. This
is an age of progress, .and the
facilities of acquiring knowledge,
and of acquiring the art of imparting
instruction, in ttie march of
general progress, are as marked
and conspicuous, as they are in
other fields of knowledge. Every
teacher ought to embrace this
great opportunity, and reap the
benefits offered. It will very
likely he the means, in the future,
of securing more easily good positions
as teachers, and lead to
practical success in the business
life of a teacher. Every teacher
ought to he prompt in attendance,
and carry out, with willing deter
initiation, every suggestion of
these scholarly instructors. Many
of the county teachers have never
before had such an opportunity of
mental improvement, and may
not in the future he so favored.
The writer has visited the
school in its practical working,
and has been most favorably impressed
with the good work that
is being accomplished. The in
stuctors are both men of finished
education, and appear to be most
conscientious in their efforts to
achieve good results.
And I would like to say, for
the encouragement of the school,
that it is composed of good mater
in 1. The members of the school
are hard at work ? making a favorable
impression on all visitors
who are interested in the success
of the school and the prospects is
that good results will follow.
Persons of good behavior, who
are fond of letters, and interested
in education, would enjoy visitin?r
the school, and would receive benefit
in icturn. A Visitor.

VAN WYCK ITEMS.
Crops are growing rapidly and
farmers are pushing the cultivation
of them, but it will bo son.e
time in August before thev
j r? ?
through as ii good deal of the
crop was late in planting.
I louse-keepers are complaining
of the scarcity of vegetables and
fruits. A failure of the fruit
crop and vegetable garden is felt,
and brings forth much lamentation
from cook and provider < f
the culinary department of the
household.
A number of our Van YVyck
people attended Six Mile church
last Sunday afternoon and heard
an impressive sermon, delivered
by Dr. Thorn well of Fort Mill.
On Sunday night our people
had an interesting talk in Van
Wyck church on China and the
missionary work there by Ilev.
31 r. Lucas, who happened to l>e
(topping in the neighborhood.
Mr Lucas sjient seven years in
Jhina as a missionary and had to
return to the United States to re
*ain his lost health. Ho with a |
party of live others are traveling
by private conveyances going to |
the ISluo Ridge mountains.
Miss Maud Inez Tillman has
been elected teacher of Cwreton's
Springs school in District No. t>.
and will begin teaching next Monday.
The trustees and patrons of
Van Wyck school met at the
school house last Saturday and
again on M onday to discuss their
ru'es and regulations and elect a
teacher. They eleleeted Rev R K
Mood teacher, but wo have not
learned whether they a lopted the
regu'ations. They will open school
Monday, .Inly v24th for a summer
term.
Mr and Mrs C S Massey of
Waxhaw visited Mr R 11 Massey
and family last Sunday and Monday
Mrs .1 A Ilyatt and children
visited relatives and friends at
Rock Hill and York county last
week.
Mrs Sallio Stewart and son,
Walter are visiting at Rock llill.
Mr W W Christenhury has
successfully removed a cancer from
Mr J L Tillman's hand. Mr Tillman
feels very much relieved and
is well pleased with Mr. Christen
bury's work and recommends
him to any one who may ho suffering
or bothered with a cancer.
Mr Christerbury has never failed
in any case he has undertaken,
and has a wonderful preparation
that is worth a great deal to guf
fcring humanity. Mr. Christen-bury
is a very modest man and
has never given his preparation
an extended notice to the public,
consequently many who are suffering,
are ignorant of this wonderful
remedy. If any one should
wish to learn something of the man
and preparation, if they address
W SY Christenhury, Concord, N
C., their inquiries will have
prompt attention.

iJowsy Letter From Kershaw.
Mr. Editor: The recent show>
have called otF the atmosphere
osiderably, and, our people
ve go no to work 1 ight.
Our town presents quite a live-,
business place at present.
Our enterprising and popular
lysiciun, Dr .1 E W llaile, broke
ound yesterday, and the Georn
buggies are kept busily enged
rolling the dirt to clear the
ly for the erection of a main-,
oth building in which there will
s (ittcd up four handsome store
ioms, which will be, when collided,
occupied by the live and
ide awake business firm of the
armors Banking & Mercantile
ompatiy, of this place. The l)r
as very fortunate in getting such
ssees to occupy his line rooms,
id they were equilly as fortuite
in getting a person who
ould build rooms suitable for
ieir increasing business. Kerinw
is making a great many
tanges just now, Mr Moore, the
irber, had to move his barber
lop, to make room for the new
lildings, having occupied a
hiding which was on the lot
here the new building is being
ccted. He moved into t lie
10m occupied by Mr O Floyd,
ir insurance agent, and Mr Floyd
oved down on south end in a
torn in the Law Range, or the
em pie of .Justice. Our Law
ange is quite a popular place,
itwithstanding it is situated
lite a distance from the business
irticn of the town. Rent is
leap and ice water is handy. Lee
swell's ice house is in close proxaity
to the building. Lee sells
e cheap, and furnishes ice water
ee.
Harry has had several cases be?re
the Squire this week, in
hich ho made a good score every
me. I think if his business connucs
to increase until fall as it
is for the past few weeks he will
et fat. ,
I don't think our school truses
have had any meetings lately.
re still have no principal and
achers elected to serve the enling
term, but I am pro <1 to
iy, I believe we will have a
liool, and that the patrons will
it a principal that will please a
ajority of them. 1 hope they
ill, any way. There is one
ling that 1 can't understand
?out this school trustee business,
id that is tl is, that a man would
ant to hold on to an office that
id no money in it, though some
jople may think, thabit will give
em a stepping stone to a higher
ace, or it may be that they
link by holding an office of that
ind they would be enabled to
ve some of their friends a nosi
nn as teacher in the school. 1
inllv think such is the case here,
hope not, any way.
