This spring special courses have been opened to touchers without charge, and there has been an unexpected at tendance upon them. These spring courses will he a perma nent feature of the college work hereafter. The college authorities have enlarged and increased the facilities for post-graduate work, and desire to place the opportunity for such study within reach of al1 who may desire it, and who cannot afford to go out of the State to oh till P. it ' * 4 I-?

I The college session extends from tho foi rth Wednesday in September to tho second Wednesday in .Tune, with holidays at the State Fair, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Washington's birthday, and Leo's- birthday. Tho college admits to tho Freshman class, with out examination, students who bring certificates of fitness to enter, fro n the Accredited Schools of the State. These number 45 of the leading schools of the State. Stu louts who wish to stand oxanimations for entrance may do so at tho college at the beginning and at the close of any session, and also in July (Fri< lay, July 20, 1900) at each county seat in the State. At that time tho county Superintendent of Education holds entrance and normal scholarship examinations for the South Carolina College, ami students can stand them without the trouble and expense of going to Columbia. # Expenses at the South Carolina College are moderate. For % students who pay the $40 tuition fee necessary expenses need not exceed $175 a session. But as t A this fee is remitted to those unable to pay, u student nmy spend nine months at the college for the small sum of $135. The items of expense are as follows:?Tuition , foe $40; term fee $18, scholarship students ; fuel lights, ( washing and attendance #25 ; , hooka, stationer' , etc #10 : hoard / . ( #75 ; incidentals #7. There is no charge for rooms, use of library, gymnasium, laboratories, chemi cals etc. The central location of , Columbia, with railways reaching every part of ibe State, reduces the cost of travel to and fro to a minimum. The health of the college is excellent ; there are no local causes ' of disease. During the last live , ! years there have been only two or three ca-es of serious sickness j Every precaution is taken to pieserve health and to guard against I disease. STATEMENT ABOUT SUM- i MER SCHOOLS. I !? . , I What is Being Done in the Way I oc Arrangements?Something ' About the Courses. lTh> 11.? ..1* *. ?JV v/inio, O 11"?L lilt. ' Tho following statement in re- ' gard to tho county ?u nmer schools 1 throughout the State has been ' ' issued from the office.of the State 1 superintendent of education: 1 The idea in tho summer schools * tris year is the same generul idea 1 in thoso last year as set forth in ' tho circulars published then, as ' discussed in the annual report of ' this oflice an<l as consummated in 1 the work in those schools. Tho ^ schools will be in session for four ^ weeks, six days in the week as 1 last year. Since however there 1 are peculiar conditions in 6ome ' of the counties, teachers going ' home on Saturday, wishing to go j home on Friday and tho like, it has been decided to allow the in- ^ strilctors Jlftpr (lKC(?rtiiininiT VI4V wishes of the teachers on the sub- 1 ject, to decide between five days ' or six days. The length of tlie ' school session will vary somewhat being never less than three hoars ' daily nor more than rive 1 The subjects taught will tie in 1 one section, arithmetic, geography and English, and for another algebra, history and English. One of these courses, the first, correspond with the course of last year. The second is primarily for those who attended the schools last year, and is in advance of the first; -but the instructors are expected to use their judgment in the assignment of tho teacher pupils to the one or tho other of the*e sections. The reports us to tho payment ' of oxpenses of teachers by the ! county hoards have not yet come i in. However Mr. Leonard T Baker who will he in charge of ' Lancaster school writes that the county hoard there has contrihut- 1 eU $10 towards the expenses of each toachor livinjr out of town. 1 ! I j Mr. Hatiiby, one of the members of the board of Georgetown writes that the hoard there will probably ; pay $5 to each teacher.

I had frequent hem- < j orrhages and coughed night and ( day. All my doctors said 1 must , soon die. Then 1 began to use Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, which completely ' cured mo. 1 would not be with- < lout it even if it cost $5.00 a hot- | tie.

However, some fields have been replanted and others planted over Chopping is pretty well under way but farmers are several weeks behind in thinning out the crop as labor is a little scarce. The corn crop is about all planted and will be an average acreago compared with other years. Small grain has improved greatly since the late rains and will be good where there are stands. Some of our farmers aro sowing German and Hungarian millet for a forage crop. Mr. S L Dixon will leave Van Wyck this week, for his boyhood home in Chester county where he will remain.for some time assisting Ins father in his business.

Monday morning was a fine lay for ol>Herving the eclipse of the sun. A numl>e?- of our citizens made observations, consisting of blackened noses and hands and a pair of red eyes. The beauty surrounding wonders wore much snjoyed by the beholders. We noticed one colored youth put on bis grave yard appearance. Some :>ne had been telling him that the Seventh Day Adventists had been setting times for the world to come to an end, but all their times had failed, but they set Monday morning and it would sure come to pass this time. Wher. the shades began to gather, and the sun larkened, he exclaimed, 4iOh ! Lord, I am not ready to go!" When the sun reappeared he was tho happiest darkey in South Carolina.

Mr. Spinks handled the text in an ible manner and his sermon was wen received by his congregation. The Woodmen Sovereigns were *trengthoned, anil ethers very in ich impressed in the application of Woodcraft to the text. The church was beautifully decorated with cedar and flowers. The Woodmen's axe was planted in a cedar log and formed a conspicuous part of the decorations. Suspended over the pulpit was a lemicircle of black trimmed with cedar and white rosea and inscribed in bold letters Cedar Camp No. 79. W O W. Just before the hour of services the members of Cedar Camp and visiting Sovereigns assembled at their hall, a short distance from the church, and arrycd themselves in tho camp badge and were escorted by their beautiful banner, the officers carrying their respective tools, and marched to tho church and occu- , pied seats reserved for them.

ORTIMCS. COL. J AS. L. TRIBBl.E DECIDES TO DECLINE. Another Will Have to be Selected for Col. Hovt's Running Mate. Special lo The State. Anderson, May 29?Col. .Ins. L Tribblo, one of tno ablest lawyers at the Anderson bar, who was recently selected unanimously by the prohibitionists to represent them as a candidate for lieutenant governor has decided positively not to make the race and h is sent in his declination to Chairman T N Berry. The friends of Col. Tribble hero and throughout the State urged him to accept the nomination. lie bus received numerous letters from prominent men all over the State expressing the opinion that his election was assured regardless of the fate of the prohibition ticket in other respects. There is little doubt but that this able and pure Andersonian would have been the next lieutenant governor if he had made the race. Support was as sured him from tlie ranks of the local optionists, dispensurites, high licensites, and the prohia were for him solid, as indicated by his unanimous nomination in the prohibition convention. Col. Tribble said to a reporter that he had no desire or ambition to enter public life, and that his private business would not permit him to accept the nomination if ho was so ( iuciiiiud. Me expressed * sincere appreciation of the honor con ferrod and for the many assurances of support ho had received. Uo smilingly closed tho interview with the remark that if ho pos- i sensed a liberal quantity of this world's goods he would feel duty bound to place himself in the "hands of his friends." I'ho prohibitionists made a wise selection in their choice for lieutenant governor. They cannot find a purer man in South Carolina to represent the purity of ; liieir principle*. But the colonel will not run. The Columbia Slato announces that unless a strong local option candidate enters the race for governor, it will support Col .Jus A Iloyt the prohibition candidate. The Sunday trains on the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad means Sunday mails. Those interested may tako it that, as a matter of conrte, the mail bo opened. The postal regulations provide that postmasters are not required to open mails on Sundays during hours of worship or j after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. ?Yorkville Enquirer.

Hoyt will lie on the same footing as any other candidate in the race. This matter was brought up liefore the State Democratic executive committee at its meeting last night by Senator Appelt of Claiendon, who presented a resolutuion the adoption of which some members claimed would rule Col. Hoyt and the prohibitionists out of the party. There was a long fight over the matter, which ended in the re-enactment of tho text of the Dial resolutionadopted by the last committee on the same subject two years ago. Tho committee adopted the schedule for the campaign meetings, fixed the assessments of candidates, made some changes as to ballots in the rules and adopted a vigorous lesolutiau intended to climinnto mutUslinging from the campaign.
