Prince, Presiding at the Sommer Term : We, the Grand Jury in and for said county, bes: leave to make the following presentment: We have, by committee, visited the dispensaries at Seneca and Walhalla, aud. so far as we are able to observe, find that they are being run according to law. We have also visited, by committee, tho county jail and And the same in a clean and healthy condition. We have, by committee, visited one of the county road outfits. We find that the roads are hoing worked to advantage by the maobines, but would recommend that an older overseer bo placed in obarge of the work; also tbat a man mee capable be placed in obargo of the driving, as the outfit whioh we visited had an incapable driver-in that he did not know how to manage a team. We would also recommend that thc officials, when buying mules for the road ma chines, secure those between tho ages of ten and thirteen yoars, as they are more capable of bard work, and it would also be a matter of economy. Young mules soon wear out and have to bo sold at a sacrifice. We have, by committee, visited the poor farm and tind a splendid crop on the place. There aro 17 inmates and all seem to be well cared for and couteut. We hod two yoong mules at the farm, and recommend that they be kept there, and not put on tho roads, as thoy would soon bo worked down and no tit for use. We present Dave Gambrell for carrying concealed weapons and give as witnesses to prove the samo: Ike Reeder, Will Woods, Henry?Koith and Solomon Perry. We present Arthur Barton, Alf Aiken and Ben Aiken for vagranoy and give as witnesses to prove the same: Marshall Abbott, J. LY. Moser, ?V. F. Norris, W. Ri Lynch and James Rogers.

Work Well Under Way- An Oconee Teacher Writes Interestingly ot tho Work. Clemsou College, .lune 24.- The State Summer School fur teaohers is getting well under way at Clemsou College, the home of John C. Calhoun, and the most loved spot of all Carolina. Here among the birds and trees and grasses and brac ing mountain air is s most desirable place for this college m .teachers, who have as sembled from every section of our State, to exchange pinn and method, and to CM'.'11? i lunn helves for the greater respon sibilities of the greater demauds of the wave of educational progress that is sweepiug over our country from one end to the other. Eduontiou is now classi fied as a soience v< hor-e principles oan be taught and studied as auy other. The purpose of our State in establish ing this sobool is to bring the teacher in touch with the bost intellects of our conni i y and to provide teaohers of un questioned ability to teach teaohers how to|teach. As such, teaching 'becomes a iaudablo profession, and in tho near fu ture we hope to soe it securely safe guarded by keoping outang javo tho best. Tho professions of medicine, law, dentis try and others protect themselves in this way, aud why should not the teaching profession be allowed to say who should entor and who should uot, whoco aotion would be authoritative and final. Dr. Mci vcr, president of the Southern Educational Hoard, also President ?it tho Normal and Industrial Col lege for Women, of Greensboro, N. C., gave a very strong lecture Friday evening on tho "Teacher as a Citizen." Dr. io vans, of the Augusta Graded Schools, is delivering a series ol lectures on Rome, tho Netherlands aud other countries of the old world. It would be well for our people to take time to come boro and see just what our State is doing for ber teachers. Over four hundred teachers are here. Quito a number from Oconee have regis tered. The ladies aro vory much in the majority, there being somo 850. Tho college authorities aro sparing no pains in providing for the comfort and conven- i ience of tho teachers. Teacher and pupils alike mingle in tho dormitorios, at the t abie aud frequently on the grounds may I bo seen a professor in tho m ust of a M ..... ? I groupe of earnest pupils talking about | I tho great work that lies before thom. A | ! largo number of our teachers visited tho j Old Steno church to-day. I Tho grounds, buildings, fruits ami I everything have boon turned over to tho ! teachers, a happy and unique family. 1 i Every variety OOnoeivable may he found ' hore, whether of size or sort, ago or ex- j I poriencc. Loau, lank and lazy, gravo ' and gay, stern and staid, lenient and lov ing all have a generous share. As to noses, everything from tho extremo Ro ; man typo with all tho . gradations of sharps and flats terminating in tho moro generous Dutch typo. Surely out of this interesting family of tho teaching profes sion, ono can find one's choice and in choosing be perplexed with at least a : baker's dozen. Tho general impression made is that the teachers have cunio boro for earnest, honest work The i tu pu hie received lure will bo cai tied into every county of our State, bringing ?ow life and bettor I equipped teachers into tho school room, which will eventually result in a bettor and purer citizenship. Such is tho work of the teacher-a bene factor of tho human race is he and as such bc will bc blessed not by tho present generation, but by tho ono coming aftor. M. 0. II. Gen. Bragg's Daughter Dies in Want.

Lodz, Russian Poland, Juno 20.-Tho most serious phase of the fighting be tween the military and strikers is at an end, but there aro still isolated attacks in the suburbs. At Dainty yesterday morning Cossacks attacked a Jewish f.tmily of five persons, who wore driving in a cab to the railway station, and killed all, including tho cabman.

Y., Juno 20.-The old est twins in tho Unitod States aro Jacob Steen, of this city, and Walter Stcou, of Syracuse, who are in their ninetieth year.

BORRS.} Newry, June 24.- Editors Courier: While we ano Seneoa, Westminster and other section? of our county represented through the columns of your paper, (one of the best in the State) we see nothing from this, one of tl.o most industrial and progressive sections of our county. We therefore how before y ur sauotura to say that Newry has not lost ber progres sive spirit, but is still forging to the front as an industrial center, since the Courtenay Manufacturing Compai'v is now putting in a large steam plant in addition to their water power in order that thoy may have ample power to run the addition thoy will make to their mill as well as their ginnery. But that is not all that is going on here. There has been formed a Baobelors' As sociation, consisting of three young, ac tive and accomplished bachelors that are now full dodged house-keepers, in oppo sition to all tho splendid modern house keepers in tho county. Girls, I would burst this combination-this uuoalled-for boycott, this, unholy alliance against your sacred institution and undeniable right to preside ovor the quiot precincts of the household-and take to that young bachelor here whoso whole heart and energy is in the direction of "Pair Play" in South Carolina. But enough along this line. Wo will now turn to things of more vital and far reaohiug results, and that is the sobool at Newry, which has for the past four years boeu under the management of Miss Lidia Bowen, as principal, and Miss Liona Grice, as assistant t cacher.
