Kirk and Archie, sons of W. H. Doniy, having so nearly finished the course of the Lewiedale Academy, left Mondy to enter Wofford College. They are most excellent young men.

Cotton is hanging on the 10 cents hook in Gilbert, and many bales find the way to this market at that price. Many are satisfied to sell for this price, while a few are looking for higher prices. Several pupils from the country are taking advantage of the school here and others will do likewise as soon as the rush of farm work is over. Some farmers are talking about a bale of cotton to the acre in this sand, but Jeff Amick has quieted mta uy voiuu^ tuio and letting it be known tbat he will make 20 bales on 15 acres.

Per capita bill in United States as given by the American Grocer and quoted by Zion Herald is $18 33, or nine times as much as the per capita in our State. We used to hold our hand in whiskey drinkiDg with other States, but the dispensary law has made j, South Carolina an exam^. . of temperance?Abbeville Medium. These figures are conclusive, and as people believing in temperance wish to vote out the dispensary and set the county moving in the direction of the old bar-room system, and its hell of horrors. Has reason gone mad? E. G. T, Batesburg Letter. Our town has been saddened by the death of one of its most highly respected citizens, Rev. N. G. Cooner, which occurred Sunday evening at 7 o'clock.
