The lawyers and county officials of 1 Newberry interested in legal sales, J i have adopted an excellent rule and I one which should be followed by I officials and attorneys at this place. ' (" They require all purchasers of land | to pay $25 cash as soon as the land is knocked down to them, as an earn- ! est of good faith, and to secure cost t of sale. Iu the event this rule is i not complied with within fifteen < minutes, the land is again put up | and resold This prevents delay, and ! is belter for all parties concerned. ? j Cure for Headache.

It looks wi h pride and gratification 1 upon all efforts of those in authority to lighten the burdens of taxation by an economical administration of 1 government, whenever it can be done without injury to the public service, lience it is with great pleasure that J it calls the attention of the public to the fact that the present Board of County Commissioners, Messrs.

By reference to the report of the County Treasurer, published last week, it will be seen that George Kiaard, the Irmo rapist, has cost the people of this county, the nice little sum of I312.8G. This, of course, does not include his expenses while boarding with Sheriff Drafts, and the application for a change of venue, and i the end is not yet. as Lawyer Bauskett, his Attorney, has recently ! made application before the Supreme I Court for an order for a new trial, J on the grounds of after discovered ) evidence of such a nature as will | probable reverse the verdict on a j new trial. j The Value of Coins.

Haynes, county lirman, requesting the same to meet at xing on the 3d day oi June, IfcOi, to et delegates, etc. How modest the call, w business like and yet how important! lis is as it should be. It typeties the ougbtful, considerate, matured friend of inanity?but foe to alcohol. Prohibinists were once snearingly termed fanatextremist, short haired women, long ired men. etc., in fic , any term that mid express contempt and bitterness, lank God a brighter day has dawned, d, sad experience has taught and coniced many that the Prohibitionists are ntending for the best and highest wel e of humanity. Their efforts are to ve us profit from the results of iuvestitious made by men of ripe scholarship d aeknowledgtd ability. Let us not be >w then to adopt a thing of true worth, t wi h avidity seize the opportunity lor complishing it. Prohibiiionists, great portnnities and responsibilities confrout i just now. Proiouud deliberation, en judgment and broid views should be ur foundation principles to keeo you <iwvi<tns n?ths. 1 believe an over lelming majority of the citizens of Son h roliuft favor powerful restrictions thrown auud the sale of whi-k?. The rub is get that majority s itisned with the relations determined od. Every one has * own plan which, of course, could not accepted, i.m it would lend to divin. hence detroy the acj irt'y. IT- r; is ercise for tho*e foundation j ritnoplcs. ctiotral strile h; s be.m hith but the dif ent factions know tt at ike Prohibition s are in reach arid the triumph ot probition i'. shared by all but no particular ;tion. Prohibition invites all. It inles unity, harmoay, peace and good will, r which h-t us all agree and work. Some 11 say we have prohibi'ion now, and it n't prohibit. Don't be side tracked by ck argument, for that is used by the ends ot whisky to bring r- proach and ,ium on prohibition. it is as essential to have some one exete a law as it is to have the law It now pears to be everybody's business and no ie's in particular. To be effective all mbt should be cleared away and the orse lo be pursued in suppressing viola>ns known to all, Let me ask verv earnestly those who fair prohibition to be np and doing. Don't list to others to do your work. Don't t some little trifle or grievance tnat you ay have somewhere, that will be righted a short while, deter you from doing a irk that will last for ages.

A GRAND OVATION I Such Was the Closing Exercises of the i Summit Liter.iry, Music and Cowwerrial School. Hundreds of Persons Present. Speeches Dr. J. Wm. Stokes and Hon. John Gary Evans. T<> the Editor of the Dispatch: Thursday and Friday, May 17 and 18. j narked an epoch in the history of educa- 1 tion in Lexington county, and the exer- ! cises were par excellence in advance of any we have ever witnessed. The whole program was thickly set with athtnis from Lorens, Psalms set to elaborate classical music, The transition from one key to another was smooth aud easy, and cords of the sweetest harmony floated tLrough the auditorium and tilled the ears of the listening audience with much delight. The Palmetto State Band sat upon an elevation and poured forth strains ol sweet music that enlivened and gave animation to the crowd both days. This band is now a part ot the State's militia, aud s ands ready to fill any call made for them, both public and privat \ at speakings, barbecues, picnics or private entertainments at any place in this State. They were reviewed by Senator Evans and a speech made to them, followed by three loud and long chee.s for Senator John Gary Evani. The chart readings, recitations, declamations and speeches on both days were very select and thev were reudcred bv the scholars in a manner that would do honor to adepts upon ihe stage. The debate on Thursday night, Resolved, That t' e world is growing better morally, politically and intelectually, by six young male students was listened to by a lull house, and the past and present history of man touching these points was ably brought out and compared. This debate gave bits of instruction of rare value to all who beard it. Dr. J. Win. Stokes and the Hon. John Gary Evans having been invited were here, and on Thursday, at 11 o'c lock a. m., Dr Stokes made an educational speech lull of instruction lrom beginning to end. The Doctor has many lriends here, and while he spoke for one hour, still attention did 11 ,t Jag. His speech made an impress lor good; it was practical and to the point. Come again, Doctor. On Friday, at 11 o'clock a. ra., Senator Evans was introduced and spoke over an hour, holding the undivided attention of his audience. He very ably port raved several new and improved methods of teaching which are of great vaiue to teachers. This vcas his first visit here, and. while lie was favorable known bore by a lew before be came, his visit secured lor him the lasting friendship of all who saw and heard hiui. Senator, the people want to see you again. The commercial department gave out five diplomas and Mr. Ambrose Shirey, one of the students, made a very excellent speech on the importance of under.stmd ing this important br. null ot education. The scholors in music did some very fine and rapid playing and nine diplomas were given out. The "Farmers' Upera. lourteen cuaracters, closed the exercises amid shouts of applause.

Eula May Gross was born Ju'y the 30 h 1^76. She was baptized in infancy and was confirmed by the present pastor, and has been a member oi Providence church for about three years. After a short illness of about a week, she peacefully and bravely yielded to death in the spirit of the true Christian. Her life was exemplary, beautifully illustrative of the life of her Saviour. Her death is a great loss to her home, her church and her community. We yield her up to God :s a full bloom fl >\ver readv for the heavenly garden.
