Under the provisions of An Act of the General Assembly, the time for - holding courts in the Fifth Circuit . was changed. The paragraph providing for the holding of courts for Lexington reads as follows: "The Court of Gent ril Sessions at Lexington, for the county of Lexington on the third Monday's in February, June and September, and the court of Common Pleas at the same place on Wnn/lan'fl r\t FoKmaPV ftTlfl IUD IUU1VU uv/uuaj a v? a vv> -?v. September." It will be seen from the above that the only change made is in the time for holding the Jane term which is changed from the second to the third Monday. They should have also allowed the Common Pleas to open inmediately after closing the Sessions and thereby save time, trouble, and expense, as former ally. Daniel J. Sully, known throughout the civilized world as the "Cotton King," has run his course and got caught. His firm failed the other day, the indebtedness being placed at $3,000,000. When the announcement of the failure was made on the floor of the exchange the prioe of ootton began to tumble at the rate of a dollar a bale a minute until it *6acbed $13 per bale. Sully & Co., have offered to compromise with their creditors on the basis of 40 per cent, cash and 60 per cent, in notes. \fp T PTaacll n^ihhs. ftftnhipr nffche Bank of Columbia was elected Major of Columbia recently, over two opponents. Mr. Gibbes is a prosperous business man with progressive ideas and it is safe to predict for him a successful administration. Just about this time of the year the farmers are receiving considerable gratutiouB advice as to bow to plant, what to plant and when to plant from persons who never have farmed. There is a three corner struggle for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States? Cleveland, Parker and Hearst. Which shall it be ? Mr. E. G.

Mies Annie Roof, of near Lexington, came up Saturday, and will ppeud some time with her brother, Rev. W. H. Roof, of the Priceville section. Mr. A. E.

The Easter festival is approaching and alreadv one hears the little one's eager inquiries about the eggs and dyp. Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Ale wine, of BateBburg, came down Sunday morning, attended services at St. James, spent the latter part of the day with Mr. H. S. Ricard, of near here, and returned on the late evening train. The approach of spring has brought the fragrance of orange blossoms, and ere long we hope to see the flowers in full bloom. See! Not long since, a party of pleasure seekers passed through town on their way from Savannah, Ga., to Camden S. C., in an automobile. We don't have to go to cities now to see the horseless things and as soon as we get into our new position that will pay ten dollars a week twice 8 day, we mean to have one of our own. Last Friday, March 18ob, was a day that will be long and pleasantly remembered by those who were at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Ricard, who reside near here. The event was the celebration of Mrs. Ricard's 54th birthday. The entire family, consisting of Si, together with a few specially invited friends, were all present, and a more enjoyable day could not have been spent. The day itself was a most pleasant one, and everything worked in favor. It is indeed a pleasure to mingle with such a large and happy familv and see displayed the love and effection of the parents for the children, and in turn, that of the children for the parents. Nothing but pleasant memories can follow such a reunion, and brighter hopes entertained for i the future. As the dining room was far too small for the crowd, stable was made in the yard where all could be at ease, and after partaking quite freely of the delicious and daintily prepared dinner, we repaired to the sittingroom where Senator Sharpe, who was also a specially invited guest, made some touching and timely remarks on the sacredness of family ties, the happiness in family re-unions, and of his being very glad to have been present to share the enjoyment. And as the sun was sinking toward the western horizon, and the golden sunbeams were skipping here and there like sparkling gems, we bid friends and pleasant faces adieu and 1 ~ U isMiwrtoa linmo with UtJ^UU UUl BUUU JWUIUOJ uumu ?.?our mind full of the thoughts of a day so nleasantly and profitably spent.

Dear Sir: You are a teacher; here's one for your boys: If the painting costs two or three times as much as the paint, and one paint goes twice as far as another, how much are those two paints worth? If Devoe is worth $1.50 or 81.75 a gallon, how much is the other one worth? How much is a gallon of paint worth anyhow? The answer is: Depends on the paint. The reason is: Paint isn't always paint. There are true and false paint and shortmeasure. How much is a short-measure gallon worth? How much is false paint worth? How much is Devoe worth? There are millions a year in the answer to this last one. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. Bass Ball Season Opened.
