legiate students ; there is no Jpreparatory
department connected
with the College.
A variety ??f courses is offered
loading to the decrees of A B,
B S A M, LL B, L I, and wide
elective opportunity is given to
slulenls both in courses and
studies; the student chooses one
halt his studies in the .Junior and
Senior years. The law course is
well attended, and the normal
courses have proved helpful to
th" schools and teachers of the
State ; the college normal graduates
have fi?li?<t rwiui li^nc 111..

in the best school. 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

thorough and scholarly postgraduate
courses to all students

l i e faculty numbers fourteen
professors, each a specialist in his
department ; the library contains
33,000 volumes and is well supplied
vith current and periodical
literature, as well as with standard
works in all lines. The
laboratories, chemical, physical,
and biological, and the geological
and mineralogical laboratories and
cabinets are well titled for practical
work in those departments. I
The two literarv societies and
th" young Men's Christian Association
ure i> ovi led with handsoma
and attractive halls. The
lecture rooms are spacious and are
supplied with patent deskH, slato
blackboards, maps, charts, and
instruments. Tho infirmary is
conducted by a resident trained
nurse, and is in charge of two of
the leading physicians of Columbia.
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.

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.

Mr. VV A Ilines of Mancnester, ,
la., writing of his almost miraeuL .

after measles induced seri- 1
j ous lung trouble, which ended in 1
Consumption. 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- |

VAN WYCK ITEMS.

Farmers are cheerful and pushing
their work. Cotton has come
up bettor than expected at one
time. 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

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.

As was previously announced,
Cedar Camp, W. O. \V. had a
very pood service in their interest,
snd visiting Sovereigns and a
large congregationf at Van Wyck
M E church Sunday afternoon.
The sermon was from Colossians,
3-14, "And above all these things,
put on charity which is the bond
[>f perfectness.'' The Rer. 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. Tho (
whole scene was impressive and

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.

When the pledge of Col. James
\ Itovt rPf'l?lU V Itllt in Urn linl.1
for governor by the prohibitionists,
as an invividua), is presented
to State Chairman Jones of the
Democratic party, that official
wiI! accept it and Col. 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.
