UNLICENSED DRUGGISTS. and another .id began to Stato Constables May bo Required to Enforce Other Laws. Columbia, July 17.-A mooting of tho State Hoard of Pharmacoutcal Examinors will he held hero after tho ndjournmont of tho meeting in Greenville, whero an examination is being hold for applicants for license to practico pharmacy. It is proposed at this mooting to lake steps towards a stricter onforcomont of tho laws governing pharmacy and to prose cute offenders, Ono of tho proposod plans is to have tho Stato constables take charge of this work in connection with their work of looking after violation of tho dispensary law. It is argued that the dispensary constables aro not too hard worked as it is, and that tho med ical laws aro of as much importanoo as the dispensary law and entitled to as much consideration from tho State authorities. This will have tho ofioet of stirring up tho unlicensed druggists nil over tho Stato and forcing thom all before tho examining board. Tho mod ical association is hot after tho unlicensed practitioners also and will make it warm for them this fall. Civil Servico Examinations.

"B" Suggests a Plan by Which ho Thinks tho County Would bo Benefited. Nowry, July '25.-Editors Courier : Seeing in tho columns of your paper thoughts and items of interest from other sections of the county, and not seeing anything from this (the most progressive section of our county) community, we ask if you will give us space in your paper to give your many readers a few items and thoughts from down hero. The health of our town was never better, duo largely, we suppose, to the sanitary improvements made by the Courtenay Manufacturing Com pany, who have looked after that feature, perhaps, as no other mill company in tho State has. Tho good health of our town, with plenty rain, makes us all fool good. Two of Oconee's most robust and efficient officials, Sheriff B. li. Moss and Auditor J. 1*. Koesc, paid us n short visit a few days since. Come again, "boys." J. Sylvester Parrott, one of the most worthy young men in tho State, has gone to Washington, D. C., where ho has accepted a position in the Treasury Department as book keeper. Mr, Parrott is a Pickcns county boy, but has been living in Oeonee county for a number of years -at Newry. Your scribe has been making in quiries of the farmers that como to our town as to their crops and they all say, "Plenty rain and good crops," which we like to hear, as the fanner is the mudsill and foundation of all other business, but all being necessary for the. general prosperity and well-doing of mankind. The Courtenay Manufacturing Company still continues to improve their property and village. Capt. Courtenay, president of the com pany, is undoubtedly one ot the best mill men in tho State to pr?vido for his mill operatives' comfort and health. Ho has for them the best houses perhaps of any cotton mill company in the State besides a splendid system of water works. Mr. Campbell Courtenay has laid an example of road working worthy of imitation. His plan is to widen the roads and make them a little higher in the midle, thus allowing them drainings from tho center and giving moro room and in the end the saving of labor and tho road from washing, for a narrow road will wash and wear away quicker than a broad one. Wo think under Mr. Campbell Courtenay's management we can boast of tho best roads of any school district in the county. Now, Messrs. Editors, ns the ques irs impure Blood. " What is it ? " asks the mother as she notices tlie smooth skin of lier child marred by a red or pimply eruption. It is impure blood, ana the child needs at once to begin the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery, the best and ? u r e a t remedy for impurity of the blood. It entirely eradi cates the poisons which corrupt the blood and cause disease. It cures scrofula, boils, pimples, eczema, salt rheum and other eruptive diseases which are the di rect result of im pure blood. It enriches ns well as purifies the blood. "Dr. Pierce's medicine lins not only bene fited rn? greatly, Ult lt lins done wonder* for my two tons," write* Mr?. M. Ifnrtrlck. of Demater, Oswego Co., N. Y. "Roth hnd scrofula.

Trade ! you a suit that will ^ ^ ^ * * ces. i ierchants tion of better roads seems to be ono of the groat questions of the hour (and well it might be) wo would like to give a few of our thoughts upon this mntter. Not that we own so many large farms, broad aores and other property in the county that is to be benefited by them, for we are poor and possess but very little of this world's goods, but, seeing the necessity for better roads and tho great advantage they are, prompts me to say that wo will never have them until there is a change in the law in regard to the Commissioners, an? '.ho necessary labor and expense required in putting (and maintaining) the public highways in good condi tion, so wo will suggest a plan by which wo think we will have better roads and will do justice by all. And that is for tho Legislature to say that all able-bodied men from the ago of 18 to 45 years shall work two days or pay a commutation road tax of one dollar per year, and what this laoks of keeping tho public roads in good condition give the Board of Commissioners, which shall consist of ono member from each township in tho county, power to levy and collect from the entire as 8essment of all property in each county of tho State taxes sufficient to keep and maintaiu the public highways and bridges in good condi tion, and allow said Commissioners for their sorvices not less iban $1.50 per day and no mileage, and each Commissioner not to serve more than 124 days per annum, if so many be necessary, and all to meet at tho county seat at least once a month, and not more than twice each mc i during tho year, and on the first uay of January each year all to meet at the Court House and elect from their number a chairman with power only to call meetings and preside over same. Haid board shall, at all of its meetings, have power to transact any business that may arise, provided a majority of said Commissioners bo present at each meeting. The said Commissioners shall, by a majority of voles cast on the first day of January each year, elect some one not a member of tho board or related to any member of the board a clerk, fully competent, whose duty it shall bo to truthfully and honestly record all acts, levies and expenditures of said board at each meeting of samo ; said chirk for his services shall re ceive not moro than three dollars per day for said services, and no mileago. Now, Messrs. Editors, this is only an outlino of my plan, and ns to the further duties and restrictions of said Commissioners that can be fixod in tho event of suoh a thing ever being enacted into law. Now we will give our reasons for BUtih a plan, and that the commuta tion road tax should bo only one dol lar or two days' work. Because ono dollar is enough for a poor boy or man to pay, and, by all means, where that poor '>oy or man can't raiso the dollar ho ought to bo al lowed at least. 50 cents per day for his labor. Now as to putting a tax on the poor man's property as well as thc rich man's : I think that is nothing but equity and justice, as the poor man uses tho roads as woll as the rich man. lint tho poor man does not need them as bad or do they benefit the poor as much as tho rich, heneo tho justice of the rich paying moro to maintain our public highways, but abovo it all it is good roads that we neod, so that when a farmer wishes to carry a lot of cot* ton or farm produce to market he cnn haul twice ns much with less strain on his team and wagon ns now, thus saving timo and all whioh is money. Also, when tho rich man wishes to take a rido out into tho country or to town he will have a good road over whioh to travel, and he and family not liablo to be thrown out of tho carriage and some one hurt or killed, as it is now. Under this plan wo ean't seo where tho rich or poor will have any right to com plain of any injustice. Now as to a Commissioner from eaoh township : That wili not only give us a stronger Board of County Commissioners and thus give the people better service at very little more expense than they are now paying, but will give eaoh and every section a man to look after the roads, bridges, etc, but now, as it is, with only three men to look after the roads, bridges and finances of the county, and they situated or liable to all be on one side of the county or from remote points to each other, hence causing a delay in the build ing of a bridge or replaoing one where (by high water) it haB been washed away, or repairing ono that needs immediate repairs ; besides wo think it will create a rivalry, or a kind of competition between the various Commissioners to give the bast roads aud bridges for tho least money ; hence saving money for the people, as well as giving them value received for their money. Besides, "In a multitude of counsel there is wisdom." We would be glad to hear what others think about this plan. it. How's This ?

The Southern Christain Advocatt is, as its name indicates, a religioui paper, and we rule out of its columni the discussion of any and all politioa issues. The discussion of pol?tica questions in thc Advocate would b as much out of place as the preach ing of politics would bo inappropri ate in the pulpit. Our office is ou pulpit from which me send out over] week a written sermon, presenting truths and lessons which aro vitn and essential to tho moral ant religious life of the individual am to the welfare of society and th church. We take, as r text for short sermon, "Tho moral phase c the political campaign in South Care lina." We had hoped that the presen political campaign would have coi: tinued and ended, as it began, on high plane, free from mud-slingin and vituperation and offensive poi sonalities. In behalf of the sobe thoughtful citizens and Christal people of our State, we enter on protest against the mud-Blingin business ip which some of our cai didates for offico are indulging. Pei sonal abuse, recrimina'lion, chargt and counteroharges by compotin candidates is mean and pusillanimou Wo have had quite enough of th? sort of campaign mud in Soul Carolina. It would be far hotter I dispense with the political campaig if its only purpose is to afford t opportunity for a scramble for offic A political campaign should be clea fair, honest, educating, conducted < a high plane of discussion, in whit tho groat issues before tho people a presented, not in a way to stir i strife or to appeal to tho passion ai prejudice of men, but dispassionate and intelligently. A man who do not possess the ability to discuss int ligently the principles embodied a politioal platform, .a intel!? tually incapablo of discharging t duties of tho office which ho seel* and the man who plays tho rolo tho political mountebank and dulges in "Hillingsgate," is morra unfiit for any position of pub trust. Wo note with pleasure that soi of tho candidates scorn tho use abusive language-and treat th oonipetiton with tho utmost coi tosy.

Greenville, .July 28.-Andrew Phillip Montague has resigned the presidenoy of Furman University to accept the presidenoy of Howard College, in Birmingham, Ala. His resignation is to take effect on August 15. This announcement will be a great surprise. It will be received by the people of Greenville and by Baptists throughout South Carolina with a feeling of deep sorrow and intense regret. That Dr. Montague, the man who for five y ears has worked BO faith fully, so courageously and with such marked success for Furman Uni versity, building up the institution from an ordinary denominational college to one of the leading educa tional institutions in the South, is to lay down tho mantle of chief execu tive, will be a blow to Furman, to her hundreds of alumni throughout the South and to educational inter ests in South Carolina. Since his connection with Furman Dr. Montague has accomplished great results and has been of untold benefit to the institution. His record will never be forgotten by the friends of the institution, and his influence will be felt for years to come. Among the improvements he has made at Furman are a large, hand some auditorium and a new and up to-date dormitory. He also established the fitting school, and through his efforts a neat substantial building for that school has been erected. These improve ments aggregato several thousands of dollars. He has also increased the attendance at Furman from something over a hundred to over two hundred and thirty. In an interview this afternoon Dr. Montague had tho following to say in regard to his resignation : "I deeply regret leaving Furman University and my best wishes will ever attend it. I shall ever remem ber with profound gratitude the kindness of the entire board of trus tees, the student body and nearly all of tho faculty. For the people of Greenville and the Stato at large I entertain feelings of high and lasting regard. My family share with me these feelings of warm friendship. "The present of Furman is great. Its future full of promise, lt stands already tho leading institution of tho State and it will steadily grow. "When the call came to Howard College, near Birmingham, Ala., I felt most reluctant to, leavo South Carolina. While that feeling still remains, I believe it my duty to Christian education, as well as to my family, to accept tho invitation to labor for the Alabama institution. In addition to tho belief that I can do some good there, which I trust is tho controlling motive with rae, the salary-a necessity in this world-is very much larger than that which I now receive. "Howard College," continued Dr. Montague, "is tho Baptist State Col lege of Alabama, and the people of tho State aro showing marked inter est in its welfare. On last Monday afternoon two other gentlemen and I, within throo hours, secured $4,360 in pledges for a new dormitory to cost $12,000. "Thore is large wealth in Birming ham, many of the trusteos ol How ard College being very rich men. The institution is patronized, as Fur man is, by people of all religious de nominations and is not all sectarian in its teaching. Its trustees are among the loading business and pro fessional mon of Alabama. "I was elected last Saturday after noon and forwarded my acceptance to-day. Wo oxpoct to leave Green ville about the middle of August. The kindness and assistance in all of my work shown and rendered by Tho News and Courier will ever bo held by mo in grateful remembrance, and for that paper, as for every other good thing in South Carolina, I have only the best wishes." Dropped a Mitch in Dynamite. Winnsboro, July 22.-There was a fearful accident at the Fairfield Cotton Mills last evening, and as thc result a woman lies at death's door in a terribly mangled condition.

Tho first black man was shot aud killed in the station house ; the second was taken to the park, where he was hanged, then riddled with bullets and cut to pieces.
