Statistics of Courlsh'o. \ To a foreign statistician the world is indebted for somo very interesting data in regard to tho most approved methods of courtship in civilized countries. Theso data wore compiled from declara tions of love and the statistician obtained the following figures: Eigty-ono of the MX) mon vowed that they COUlu not live longer without tho adored ono; 72 hold the ladies' hands in a tight grip; 00 kissed them on tho lips, 10 on tho right hand, 2 on tho tip of the nose and 1 on the louldor; 18 were so excite.' that they >uld hardly speak; 20 lost their elo quence through certain qualms of con science; 12 said in deep chest tone, ["Thank God," and? frankly, admitted 'that they wore ' inexpressibly happy." By studying tho conduct of loo men whose suits wero rejected the statistician obtained tho following equally interest ing figures: 40 of them rushed in a frenzy out of tho room; 21 said tbat lift) hence forth had no moro value in their eyes and that thov would commit suicide; 14 bo camesuddcnly tongue-tied and irrational ; 0 calmly resigned themselves to tho inev itable; 5 avowed their intention of immediately emigrating to America; :i torc ont some of their bair; 2 bit their lips till tho blood came; 1 stuck bis bauds into his trousers pockets and whistled a popular song, and another looked np towards heaven and began to say tho Lord's Prayer.

Columbia, July 17.-A mooting of tho State Hoard of Pharmacoutcal Examiners will bo held boro after the adjournment | of tho meeting in Greenville, whero an examination is being hold for applicants for license to practice pharmacy. It is proposed at this meeting to tako stops towards a stricter onforcoment of tho laws governing pharmacy and to prose cute offenders. Ono of tho proposed plans i*. to have tho State constables take charge of this work in connection with their work of looking aftor 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 importaneo as the dispensary law and entitled to as much consideration from tho State authorities. This will have tho effect of stirring up tho unlicensed druggist? all over tin St ato and forcing thom nil before the examining board. Tho mod ical association ls hot aftor tho unlicensed practitioners also and will mako it warm for them this fall. Civil Service Examinations.

"B" Suggests a Plan by Which ho Thinks the County Would be Renctitod. Newry, July 25.-Editors Courier : Seeing in the 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) commuuity, we ask if you will give us space in your paper to give your many readers a few items and thoughts from down here. The health of our town was never better, duo largely, we suppose, to the sanitary improven ents mado 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 feel good. Two of Oconee's most robust and efficient officials, Sheriff B. H. Moss and Auditor J. P. Koese, paid us a short visit a few days since. Como again, "boys." J. Sylvester Parrott, one of the most worthy young men in tho State, has gone to Washington, D. C., where he has accepted a position in the Treasury Department as book keeper. Mr. Parrott is a Pickens county boy, but has been living in Oconee county for a number of years -at Newry. Your scribe has been making in quiries of the farmers that come to our town as to their crops and they all say, "Plenty rain and good crops," which we like to hear, as the farmer ls the mudsill and foundation cf all other business, but all being necessary for the. general prosperity and well-doing of mankind. Tho Courtenay Manufacturing Company still continues to improve their property and village. Capt. Courtenay, president of tho com pany, is undoubtedly one of the best mill men in tho State to provide for his mill operatives' comfort and health. Ho has for them the best houses perhaps of any cotton mill company in the Stato 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 tho midle, tims allowing them draining?) from tho center and giving more 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. We think under Mr. Campbell Courtenay's management we can boast of the best roads of any school district in the county. Now, Messrs. Editors, as the ques irs impure Blood. "What is it?" asks the mother as she notices tile smooth skin of ber 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 liest and surest 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 ol oed. It enriches os well as purifies the blood. "Dr. Pierce's medicine ting not only bene fit? ?I me greatly. Ult it hito done wonders for my two MM,' writes Mrs. M. Hnrtrick. of Daumier, Oswego Co , N. Y. " Roth hod scrofula.

Y. i Trade ! you a Stilt that will * * * * * ces. erchants tion of better roads seems to be one of the great questions of the hour (and well it might be) wo would like to give a few of our thoughts upon this matter. Not that we own so roany large farms, broad acres and other property in tho county that is to be benefited by them, for wo are poor and possess but very little of this world's goods, but, seeing the necessity for better roads and the groat advantage they are, prompts me to say that we will never have them until there is a change in the law in regard to the Commissioners, and tho 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 age of 18 to 45 years shall work two days or pay a commutation road tax of one dollar per year, and what this lacks of keeping tho public roads in good condition give the Board of Commissioners, whioh shall consist of one member from each township in tho county, power to levy and collect from the entire as sessment of all property in each county of thc State taxos sufficient to keep and maintain tho public highways and bridges in good condi tion, and allow said Commissioners for their services not less than $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 moro than twice each month during tho year, and on the first day of January each year all to meet at tho 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 votes east 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 same ; said clerk for his services shall re ceive not more than threo dollars per day for said services, and no mileage. Now, Messrs. Editors, this is only an outlino of my plan, and as to the further duties and restrictions of said Co mmissioners that can be fixed in tho event of suoh a thing ever being enacted into law. Now we will give our reasons for such a plan, and that the commuta tion road tax should bo only one dol lar or two days' work. Because one dollar is enough for a poor boy or man to pay, and, by all means, where that poor boy or man can't raiso the dollar ho ought to bo al lowed at least 50 cents por day for his labor. Now as to putting a tax on thc poor man's property as well as the rich man's : I think that is nothing but equity and justice, as the poor man uses tho roads as well as tho rieh man. But tho poor man does not need them as had or do they benefit tho poor as much as the rich, heneo the justice of the rich paying moro to maintain our public highways, but above it all it is good roads that we need, so that when a farmer wishes to carry a lot of cot ton or farm produco to market he can haul twice as much with less strain on his team and wagon as now, thus saving time and all which is money. Also, when the rich man wishes to tako a ride out into the country or to town ho will have a good road over which to travel, and he and family not liable to bo thrown out of tho ca- . and some one hurt or killed, ah .o is now. Under this plan we can't seo where tho rich or poor will have any right to com plain of any injustice. Now aa to a Commissioner from each township : That will not only give us a stronger Board of County Commissioners and thus give the people better service at very little more expenso 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 tho oounty 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 has been washed away, or repairing one that needs immediate repairs ; besides we think it will create a rivalry, or a kind of competition between the various Commissioners to give the b?st roads and bridges for the least money ; hence saving money for tho people, as well as giving them value received for their money. Besides, "In a multitude of counsel there ie wisdom." We would be glad to hear what others think about this plan. it.

The Southern Christain Advocatt is, as its name indicates, ? religion paper, and we rule out of its column the discussion of any and all politico issues. The discussion of politics questions in tho Advocate would b as much out of place as the preach ing of politics would bc inappropri ate in the pulpit. Our office is ou pulpit from which me send out over week a written sermon, presentinj truths and lessons which aro vitl and essential to tho moral am religious life of tho individual an to the welfare of society and th church. We take, as a text for Bhort sermon, "Tho moral phase c the politioal campaign in South Care lina." We had hoped that the preser political campaign would have coi tinucd and ended, as it began, on high plane- free from mud-slingin and vituperation and offensive pc: sonalities. In behalf of tho sobe thoughtful citizons and Christai people of our State, we onter ot protest against the mud-slingin business ip which sorao of our oai didates for offico are indulging. Pe sonni abuse, recrimina'tion, chargi and countercharges by competir candidates is mean and pusillanimou We have had quite enough of th sort of campaign mud in Sou Carolina.

A man who dc not possess thc ability to discuss int ligently the principles embodiod a politioal platform, is intelli tu al ly incapable of discharging t duties of tho office which ho seol and the man who plays tho rolo the political mountebank and dulges in "Billingsgate," is morra unfiit for any position of pul trust.

Greenville, .July 28.-Andrew Phillip Montagne hive resigned the presidency of Furman University to acoept 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 Baptiste throughout South Carolina with a feeling of deep sorrow and intense regret. That Dr. Montague, the man who for five years has worked so faith fully, so courageously and with such marked success for Furman Uni versity, building up the institntion from an ordinary denominational college to ono of the leading educa tional institutions in the South, is to lay down the 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 bis 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 aggregate 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 the following to say in regard to bis resignation : "I deeply regret leaving Furman University and my best wishes will ever attend it. I shall over remem ber with profound gratitude the kindness of the ontiro board of trus tees, the student body and nearly all of tho faculty. For the people of Greenville and the State at large I entertain feelings of high and lasting regard. My family share with me these feelings of warm friendship. "The present of Furman ?B great. Its future full of promise. It stands already the leading institution of the State and it will steadily grow. "When the call carno to Howard College, near Birmingham, Ala., I felt most reluctant to, leave 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 the controlling motive with me, the salary-a necessity in this world-is very much larger than that which I now receive. "Howard College," continued Dr. Montague, "is the Baptist State Col lego 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 throe hours, secured $4,350 in pledges for a new dormitory to cost ?12,000. "There is large wealth in Birming ham, many of tho trustees of How ard Collego 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 tho leading business and pro fessional men of Alabama. "1 was elected last Saturday after noon and forwarded my acceptance to-day. Wo expeot to leave Green ville about the middle of August. The kindness and assistance in all of my work shown and rendered by The News and Courior will ever be 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."

Va., July 24.-Two negroes, whose names wore unknown, wore lynched at Womelsdorf near here last night by an angry mob numbering several hundred. Tho first blaok man was shot and killed in the station house ; the second was taken to the park, where be was hanged, then riddled with bullets and cut to pieces. Both whites and negroes are enraged and in arms. More trouble is hourly expected. The trouble grows out of tho murder of Chief Bud Wilrnotb on July 28. Several other arrests had been made and lynching Bcemed imminent on every side. Tho dead negroes were caught near Bellington and were looked up, tho officers fearing a lynching if they we taken to Elkins. When arrested neither of the men gave their names. Negroes are leaving one very train. The lynched men were horribly mutilated and their bodies left on the commons. Friend's Grip Caused Cancer. Des Moines, July ?3.-Capt. J. N.

Here is a wrinkle in tho tolling of horses' ages that is worth while re membering : After tho eighth yoar the horse has no more new teeth, so that the tooth method is useless for telling the age of a horse which is moro than eight years old.
