Last wook our Westminster correspon dent asked the question of Tho Courior, what is the true State lino between South Carolina and Georgia? Wo frequently hear tho statement made that tho State line is "extremo low-water roark on the South Carolina shore, thus conceding to Georgia tho whole of tho rivors that oonstitute the boundary liuo between the two State. This is incorrect. The line as fixed by statute is tho middle thread of the rivers. Uowovor, all islands ore conceded entirely to Georgia, low water mark on tho South Carolina sido of tho islands boing tho State Hue instead of the middle thread of tho river. This provision as to low-water mark on tho islands is doubtloss responsible for tho confusion as to tho corroot State lino. It is only wboro thoro aro islands in tho rivor that low-water mark constitutes the lino; olsowhero, as stated abovo, tho middle thread is (lxod as tho boundary lino between tho two States. The provision of tho statute reads as follows: From thoStatoof Georgia, South Caro lina is divided by tho Savannah river, from its entrance into tho ocean to tho continence of tho Tupaloo and Seneca rivors; thouco by tho Tugaloo rivor to tho confluonco of tho Tngah o and Chat* tooga rivors; thouco by tho Chattonga river to tho North Carolina lino, in tho thirty-fifth degree of north latitude, tho lino being low-water mark at tho south ern shoro of tho most uorthorn stream of said rivors where the middloof the rivers is broken by islands; and the middle thread of tho stream whore tho rivors How in ono stream or volume Federation ol Women's Clubs. Tho Stato Federation of Women's Chilis mot in Nowberry last woek. Tbe convention opeued Wednesday morning with Mrs. Martha Orr Patterson, Stato president, in tho chair. Tho invocation was made by Hov. G. A. Wright. Dr. Georgo B, Cromer, in a charming and felicitous add ross, welcomod tho Federa tion in tho name of the city of Newberry. Mrs. W. K. Sligh then extended a cordial welcome from thoNowborry clubs. Mrs. Colina E. Means, ono of South Carolina's most gifted women, responded in behalt of the visitors. Then followed tho t port of thu various officers, approving a growing enthusiasm iu club work throughout tho Stato. Tho Federation has a department of domestic science, which includes a study of hygiene, sanitation, healthful food, etc., and the women who leam these things and practico them aro strong and well, their oyes aro bright, their skins cloau, they aro animated and intorcsted in life. Such a woman cannot bo ugly nor can bor children nor her homo bo neglected. The world is better for every family regulated by such a woman. Tho groat and vexing problom of do mestic service was prominently discussed by this eon ven t inn, and a committee ap pointed to look into the practicability of establishing a department of domestic training, just plain everyday cooking and sowing, into both white and colored Schools, tho need being most keenly felt for more manual and less literary train ing for tho average negro girl particularly. Airs. Martha Orr Patterson has filled tho oflico of president of tho Federation for two years, tho constitutional limit, aud she has made hor administration memorable by a great work sho has bo gun, that is tho establishment of an austria! school for criminal, vagrant, neglected or orphan boys. This subject is very near Mrs. Patterson's heart, and sim has made strong appeals to clubs and to women personally and indirectly to interest themselves in tho subject. 11 ii nd reds of boys are added yearly to the sorrowful, the dreadful list of hardened criminals by the present system of hord ing boy Offenders with vicious mon. An ignorant lad, in soto need, steals two bushels of oats, ho is sent to the peniten tiary for live years, an.I at the ond of his term comos out to join himself with burglars and proceed to further iniquity. Thoro aro instances, one of thom hoing told by a Greenwood lady at tho Fedora tion, of a boy of thirteen or fourteen, for an oi?eiise against tho majesty of tho law, was chained by the auk lo to a negro, herded with negroes at night and made to labor besido them during thc day. What can bo expected of that boy when ho is again at liberty? Tho reforming of tue se boys is not a visionary scheint Just such a school as thu club women of | tho Stato wish to establish has boon existence in Alabama for niuo years, and its records show that of tho lads edu cated and trained at that institution only two per cont revert to wicked ways upon their graduation. Many of thom are till ing positions of honor and trust in their owu and other States. That school was established through the untiring efforts of a woman, and the women of South Carolina are determined that the poor, neglected lads, any ono of whom, but for Cod's morey might bo your boy or mine, shall havo a chance in life. Tho report of Miss Waterhouse, of Beaufort, on civics and forestry, a line paper, was read by Miss Valina Brown, of Anderson, Miss Waterhouse being unable to attend tho Federation. At tho close of tho musical program a locture on civics, illustrated by storoop tican views, was given. Tho attendance on these conventions is becoming so large that tho motion waa made that hereafter tho delegates should not expect entertainment in pri vate homes, but as in largo bodies go to hotels and hoarding houses at their own expense. This matter mot with warm discussion, and tho motion being put was lost. The newly olected officers are: Presi dent, Mrs. S. K. Sligh, of Newberry; first vico president, McKissock, ot of Greenwood ; second vice president, Mrs. Nichols, of Chester; recording secretary, Mrs. Visauska, of Charleston; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Andrew Mooro, of Columbia; treasurer, Miss Valina I). Brown, of Audorson; auditor, Miss Frazier James, of Darlington. Tho next meeting of tho Federation will he held in Union.-An Andorsou Dolegato, in Daily Mail. Thrown from a Wagon. Mr. George K. Babcock was thrown from his wagon and severely bruised. Ho applied Chamberlain's Pain Hal ni frooly and says it is tito best, liniment he ever used. Mr. Babcock is a well known citizen of North Plain, Conn. Thero is nothing equal to Pain Balm for sprains and bruises. It will effect a cure in one third tho timo required by any other treatment.

Thoy say that hundreds of acres aro thickly in fested with tho insects, and that thoy aro playing havoc with tho cotton. Tho in sects are found on nearly every stalk of cotton, cutting into threo to six squares on each. They do not bother any por tion of tho cotton plant except the squares, which they bore into and drop eggs, tho squares invariably dying and falling ott. The insect seems to answer tho description of tho Texas boll weevil ami if it is not tho same it is doing tho san. damage, spreading itself over field after field of growing cotton, and the farmers are helpless mid powerless to stop its progress.

Prof. Murphrce, of Pickens, was to have conducted a singing at Little Hiver last Sunday, but for somo reason failed to bo present. Ho has lof* an appoiut mont with us for tho third Sunday in July. We hope ho will uot disappoint us again. Hov. L. M. Lyda, of North Carolina, failed to fill his appointment at Bear Peu school house the first Sunday in this month, and by so doing disappointed a good congregation.

Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets Better than a Doctor's Prescription. J. W. Turnor, of Truhart, Va., snys that Chamberlain's Stomaoh and Liver Tablets have done him moro- good than anything ho could got from the doctor. If any physician in this country was able to compound a medicine that would pro duce such gratifying results in cases of stomach troubles, biliousness or consti pation, his w hole time would bo used in eroparing this one medicine.

Crops around hero are looking well, oonsidoring lato planting aud sudden changes of the wenthor. Tho farmers are about through har vesting their small grain, and wo think it is good to be no botter or at least no more of it. Rev.-Joseph Clark, of Westminster, preached an interesting sermon hero Sunday to a small, but attcntivo, congre gation. We are glad to loam that our venerable neighbor, John S. Dickson, who has been in feeble hoalth now for somo timo, is improving. We hope that many days will bo added to this aged and rospected citizen's life. Miss Hallie Wothorstun, a charming young lady, of Aragon, Ga., is visiting tho family of W. T. Tannory and other relatives of this county. Mrs. Robert Hall, who has boon sick during the winter and spring months, is regaining her usual hoalth. Tho Behool trustees havo secured tho services of W. K. Huff, of Grcouville, to teach the Btimmor school. Mr. Huff taught the last term here and gave gene ral satisfaction. Tho prayer meeting at thia place scorns to be on the declino, when it ought to bo the roverse. I am B?ro If wo could carry on an interesting prayor service during the winter wo ought to make it more so in the summer. Thero is no excuse', whatever in lotting it die after standing the seigo of a.long, cold winter. Now that tho balmy aummor months have come, let both old and young unite and have a prayor meeting that will be the pride of the community. The red-nose briars and grass are growing beautifully. So, Mr. Candidate, if you ain't got no hoo you needn't come ] around, for we will be busy all next woek. It seems that wo havo partly solved the whiskey problem during elec tion years, and now it remains for us to get rid of so much begging und leg null ing the poor, down-trodden candidate. Some people think they have a right to beg the oandldate for every known thing and cause, from breeohes for the heathen African, (who has no use for them,) to building a ohuroh. As a rule, the can didate i's not any better off in this world's goods than other mortals, and the moneyod value of most offices will not justify bim in giving and treating so muoh. So, cammi thero bo something done to stop this? We hope so. Steno. Thousands of acres of cotton ih Marl boro oounty have boen destroyed by a severe hail storm.
