W.Simpson, President of the Board of Trustees of Clemson College, received a dispatch on Friday lase from Senator Butler announcing that the Senat?' had just passed the House bill to divide the Morrill fund equally between Clemson ami Clatlin. This will bring to Clemson some 533.000. but not a dollar of it can be used only for the purpose of supplying the institution with a scientific and mechani cal equipment. This fund increases at the rate of $1,000 per annunj until it reaches the sum of $25,000, at which figure it is to remain, and the fund will be equally divided betw een the two col leges. This action recognizes and en dorses tlie justice and fairoessof the po siton taken hythe Legislature and the Governor, which the Governor so vigo rously defended in his controversy with Secretary Noble, who wanted the negro College tb get about two-thirds of it." Don't neglect the turnip crop. Summer is upon us, truly. The torrid wave struck us last Sunday. The more we think of the Third Party ticket, the more harmless it seems. Money is close, but not close enough for us to reach as much as we would like. W? are glad to report the sick are bet ter and hope to see them all out again soon. The primary election will take place August 30. Are you ready for the elec tion'.' Mrs. J. E. Fogartie and children are visiting the family of Judge Ilolleman. Mrs. Fogartie is on her way to Highlands. Honesty of intention is not. in this en lightened agc, a sufficient excuse for the wrong a juan does by thoughtless voting. A good rain within the next two or three days would do good to crops and cool off things in general. < >ur young friend. Mr. J. D. Ballenger, is announced this week as a candidate ? for Supervisor of Registration. The local weather kickers have ex- ? hausted their vocabulary of superlatives in speaking <>f the weather. Both factions of the Democratic party j in the State are to be congratulated oui the improved temper of the campaign meetings. Don't be so rampant on politics. Your neighbor may be just as conscientious as | you are. and certainly has a right to his I opinion. j Nb man can throw off the responsi bility that rests upon him for the result j of his ballot, any more than beean for that of any other act of his life. The Greenville District Conference is j in session at Seneca. An interesting I programme of its proceedings is publish ed in another column. Married, on the 17th instant, by Itev. j L. D. Chambers, Mr. Wm. N. Sullivan to j Miss Olive L. Dickson, daughter of Mr. M. P. Dickson, all of Oconee. Miss Lillie Monz?n, of Charleston, accompanied by her friend. Miss Sallie Chaplin, oj the.same city, is paying her brother and sisters a summer visit at Walhalla. When voting Time comes it will be found that a good many people who do no shouting and cause no disturbance at political meetings drop in mighty strong ballots. There should he some consolation to those who think we have been having some hot days to know that four weeks of this kind ot weather will make as tine a crop of cotton for . ur farmers as has ever been grown in ibis State. When tlie members of the Christain church reach the high ground of Christ ian patriotism, where they will case their political ballot as a Christian duty, we may look for reform all along our politi cal lines, and not before. Wc are pleased to note that the House has concurred in the Senate amendment to the ?5.000,000, Columbian appropria tion, that th? Exposition shall be closed on Sunday. We regret that the amend ment, prohibiting the sale of liquor, was not also concurred in, but possibly the conference may adopt it. What a tri umph for righteousness it would he!

The third annual meeting of the South ern Educational Association was held in Allanta, 'i'llere was a large number of teachers present. A Northern man. who ] I was present, said Rev, W. A. Candler's address was a remarkable one. W. F. ; Harris. United States Commissioner of Education, reviewed "The Educational 'Progress of thc last Twenty Years." Ile j considered the railroad, the daily paper | and the common school, three great fae- j tots fo? the promotion of Democracy and ; human development. The low standard ' of admission to many Southern colleges ! was acknowledged, lt was a meeting! that tended to stir up our Southern edit-1 cators am! will do mach good. Any teacher attending "hese meeting from ! year to year will have his eyes opened: The < >conee ( ounty Methodist Sunday i Schot?! Conference met in annual session at Kock Spring church for three days: last week - Wednesday. Thursday and j Friday. The conference was wcJi at tended: nearly all of the Sunday schools in the county, belonging to this branch of th.- Christum church, being represented. The various topics <>f the programme were ably and profitably discussed. Sev eral interesting essays hy #.e lady mem bers of the conference were read, which will be given to our readers through OUT . olunms at an early day. The officers elected w,-n-: President. D. A. Smith: vice-President, Itev. M. F. Whitaker; Sec retary ami Treasurer. .1. B, Sanders. The next conference will he held at Fair view church in August, is:?;;. This neighborhood is noted for its relined ami cultureii citizens, its great hospitality ami its high Christian sentiment am! feeling. While at conference we were the guest >>f Mr. Thos. H. Dendy, where wc were received with the greatest kind ness anil courtesy hy his interesting family. As the Secretary ,\as directed :.. prepare the proceedings of the confer ence for publication, we forbear further comment.

Harrison, surveyor, has been, for some time, collecting the necessary information for a reliable mao of Oconee county. He will soon travel thc public roads in each township and properly locate all of the principal residences, churches, school houses and other points of interest. If the recommendation '.' the giand jury is carried out the sciic . districts can be surveyed and entered on the maj?. This we think should be done, as it would make it more accurate and reliable. ^\u-h a map of the county is badly needed and we hope Mr. Harrison will s^vure sufficient encouragement to justify him in giving that time and atten tion which the importance of the matter demands. The proper execution of his task involves a greal amount of labor, hut tins ?ie means todo, if the people conic to his assistance by subscribing for the map. Oconee cannot afford to be behind her sister counties in this respect ami now is the chance for her to supply a long felt want. Creenville District Conference. This conference will conveneaf Seneca.

Mr. Coleman Endorsed. RETREAT, S. C.. -inly 25th, 1892. MESSRS. EDITORS: Having read thc recent letters of Mr. Coleman's I wish to express my most hearty approval of his sentiments and of the banner under which he is fighting, for we need soldiers now as heretofore, and I want many to be volunteers under that banner which has been erected, both ecclesiastically and politically. And as to the monument of which he speaks. I agree with him as to the place, and think it perfectly right that we should erect a monument to our noble Confederate dead who fed in our defense. My motto shall ever be: 'The peace and dignity of our State; the peace and unity of the church.'' Respectfully, L. li. VERSER, Here and There. [Correspondence ?VEOWEE COURIER;] PAIR l'I.AY. !

The lighting rod men think it a good : "?c to sell rods since there has been so ..itch rain: but as the lightning has done no damage in our section the people are not buying much. Four men spent some days in our "city." during which time they lost more credit than they gained. They were . drinking and acted very ungentlemanly on one occasion.
