We have to acknowledge an invita tion to attend the thirty-seventh an nual commencement of the Schofield Normal and Industrial School for ne groes, to be held at 11 o’clock this morning. The graduating class this year numbers seven. The announcement has been made that the Southern railway will build a double track to Summerville, 22 miles from Charleston. The double track now extends-as far as the ten-mile hill, and the engineers are at work grading the road for the extension. The picnics last Friday of the various Sunday schools were very much enjoy ed. The only thing approaching an ac cident among the various children, we have heard of, was that young Coward fell into the pond at Graniteville and came near being drowned. > An let Pnetory Will be E«Ubh*hed. For some time the officers of the Car olina Light and Power Company have been considering the advisability of es tablishing an ice factory in Aiken, and lately the idea has taken definite shape and the scheme tvill be carried into effect. At a meeting of the stockholders of the company last week the matter was fully discussed and it appeared so evi dent that an ice factory would do well in Aiken that it was positively decided to establish one. A location has been se cured near the freight depot. The com pany has leased from Mrs. M. E. George for three years, with the option of pur chase for #2500 at any time, a portion of the old Teague tract. 150 by 250 feet, on the south side of the railway, and will sink a six-inch well as soon as a proper contract can be made. Esti mates for the drilling of the well are now being received. The motive power for the well pump and the factory will of course be the electricity, which the company has now r to generate for its every day ser vice. In addition to the manufacture of ice the company will also add a cold stor age department for such products as eggs, butter, cheese, meat, fruits, lard, molasses, noultry, game, etc.--w’hich have heretofore either been purchased in small quantity at a high price as needed or held in small quantity in ice boxes, but then may be purchased in -bulk at the season of lowest price, held in'siorage at moderate cost and with drawn as needed. It is expected-that work will be begun on the well within thirty days, and that the entire plant w T ilI b» completed and in operation by next fall. The enter prise will involve the outlay of about $25,000, but is regarded as very prom ising for the stockholders as well as ad vantageous to the citizens of Aiken. $ Soda Crackers are becoming more and more the food Of the People It remains for the national biscuit company to bake more and more Unafcda Biscuit Up For the People “I guess I am a little slow.” <•» Who desire more and more Soda Crackers of known purity, cleanliness and unchanging quality.

Memorial day was well observed in Aiken this year. The attendance at the A/ourthouse, where Hon. D S. Hender son gave a most admirable address, was large and appreciative. The livery sta- 4)les were very generous with their car riages for the use of the societies. The •stores were generally closed during the •exercises.

Mrs. Mena Grambling Way died at her home in Orangeburg early Monday morning. She left a husband, Mr. Wm. Way, a well known young business man of that city, and four small children. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. Paul F. Grambling, a prominent far mer of Orangeburg county. Mrs Way’s death was entirely un expected, as she had not been previous ly sick. It is stated that during Sun day night she got up with one of her children. Next morning when Mr. Way called her she was in an unconscious condition and was dead before a physi cian could be summoned. She was probably dead when Mr. Way first call ed her. When in need of wood, you can al- w y < be supplied at the yard of the Will Keturn Captured Battle Flag to Xn. Joyner, Who Presented It. The survivors of a New Jersey regi ment of Union soldiers are to lay the cornerstone of a monument at Nevv- bern, N. C.. in memory of the men of their regiment who fell in the battle of Newbern in the spring of 1862. In that engagement the New Jersey regiment captured the Hag of a company from Beaufort, N. C., in a North Carolina regiment, and the Union soldiers have had it in their possession ever since. In the spirit which prompted the passage of the recent act by congress providing for the return of all the Confederate aattle flags to their original owners, the New Jersey veterans propose to re turn this Hag to the hands which made it—the young ladies who presented it to the company of Beaufort boys as they were going out to war. The young lady who represented her companions in presenting the flag to the company at tfie beginning of the war was Miss Mary Winfield of Newbern, now Mrs. Joyner of Columbia, the wife of the Rev. E. N. Joyner, the beloved arch deacon of the Episcopal diocese of South Carolina, and she has been invi ted by the North Carolina governor to be present and receive the conquered banner from the New Jersey men and once more to return it to the Beaufort veterans. Rev. and Mrs. Joyner left Columbia Tuesday for Newbern to be present on this interesting occasion. Wife Harder in Edgefield.

I As Florida Is Soon. In a recent letter to a friend in Aiken, from a lady formerly of South Carolina but now living in Florida, the following description of Florida is given, and has been kindly tendered us for publication: “How beautifully and gracefully the s •ring-time is advancing; how bright the days appear! Queen Flora has thrown her mantle of green on every Walter Hill, a young negro, brutally blooming tree, and spread her sheets of ordered his wife in Edgefield Tuesday I daisies white over ‘all the grassy lea’; and the blessed sunlight, falling over m night. It seems that he was jealous of his wife receiving attentions at the hands of several other negro boys and men, and in a lit of ratre seized hisAVijjyUxu ter rifle and shot to kill his wife. He missed his mark and then proceeded to break the weapon over her head. The woman’s skull was crushed and she died shortly after the blow. A sis ter of the deceased was also severely dealt with in the fracas, but will re cover. The coroner’s inquest was held and a verdict rendered in accordance with the above facts. Hill immediately made good his es cape and has not yet been arrested. The sheriff is scouring the country for him, however, and he will likely be safely landed in jail A ke iJjhie^Vmiparj^ AN OLD ADAGE SAYS ^ •*A light purse is a heavy curse’ 5ickncss makes a light purse.

Condition of the Cotton Crop. The Washington weather bureau’s weekly crop bulletin says: In the central and eastern districts of the cotton belt good stands and sat isfactory growth of cotton are gener ally reported. Considerable planting remains to be done in Arkansas and '•> the northern portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and planting is unfinished in the Carolinas. Plant- j ing i» about completed in Georgia, | where the stands are excellent, and the j plants are healthy and growing fast. In the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama i and Arkansas, many fields are foul. In | central and northern Texas planting has ! been further delayed and the crop, i which is very weedy, has been much i damaged by heavy rains, and it is doing | well over limited areas only. In south ern Texas thecondition of cotton ranges ! from fair to good, and much has been j chopped and cultivated. Boll weevil and other pests are attacking the crop | in localities. The State Bureau says as to this j State: The weather conditions were favor- , able for germination and growth, but j all field crops are in need of cultivation | and are foul with grass and weeds j Some replanting has been done on ac- j count of the grass. Stands of both corn and cotton are uniformly good and the | same applies to all minor crops except | to rice in the Georgetown district. Early corn is growing nicely and in | many places has received its first work- : ing, but cut and bud worms are still j damaging. It Isas been generally too wet to plant bottom lands to corn. I Cotton planting continues over the ! western counties where this work has been greatly delayed by the recent rains. Chopping is in progress in all sections and some fields have been cul tivated. Fields are generally foul, and in places stands are dying. Profit* from Sole* of Liquor.

I sometimes ask myself, how could any one be utterly unhappy smiti—fftfrroandTngs. Surely nature in her present mood could woo one from almost any grief. Spring is a glory anywhere, but here there is a vivid brilliancy—a burning tone to the coloring that is peculiar. No dreamland on earth can be more unearthly in its beauty and glory than the Manatee portion of Florida. Every thing grows so fast you can almost see and hear the process of growth. Many flowers here do not seem to have their seasons, but grow and bloom the whole year round. ‘Nature’s book’ is never ‘shut and clasped’ with ice and snow as at the North. The yellow jessamine blooms all the winter (no matter how sold the weather may be-.)• It is just fading now—and the gr >ujid is strewn with the pale yellow triim-pets, as if the elves had had a concert and thrown down their instruments and fled ! There is no day in the year but what one can work in the open air. And the climate of Florida is also of peculiar advantage in all diseases attended by nervous ex citability. The air is peculiarly sooth ing and tranquilizing; it is the very ‘lotus eaters’ paradise’, full of quiet re pose. For children the climate cannot be too much praised. Yet there is one thing cannot be too often reiterated to people,—it is uot to be denied that full half of the tourists and travelers who formerly came to Florida returned in tensely disappointed, and even disgus ted and why? Evidently because Flor ida, like a piece of embroidery or lace work, has two sides to it!—one side tag rag witliout order or position; and the other side shows flowers arabisque, brilliant coloring. Both these sides have existed ; both have been undenik- ble facts, in the years gone by ; but of late years Florida is like the sun burst ing from the clouds ! You well know ‘in the beginning’ there is smooth and rough—a right and a wrong side to any thing. Many people formerly came here, full of certain romantic ideas, of waving palms, orange groves, blooming flowers bursting forth in tropical abun dance,— and consequently they go through Florida with disappointment at every step. Florida is much changed since I came down in 1891. Letters are received here from oeople all over the United States asking advice, whether they had better move to Florida. But for our part we never advise people to move anywhere,—for as a general rule it is the person who feels the inconven ience of the })rencn( position so as to want to move ! They must not expect to leave behind them all sickness, sor row and pain, and enter at once on the rest of paradise.” “Green Cove Springs.” To Cultivate Bamboo. The day will come when all our South land will grow the bamboo. Travelers in the far East, and especially in Japan, are impressed with the importance of the bamboo. It is used for almost every thing, and is profitably used too It can be grown so easily and in such pro fusion that when we begin to study economy, as we must some time, we will raise bamboo in all localities where it will grow. It thrives wonderfully well as far north as central Japan, and we are led to believe that it will thrive in the Southern States as far north as Tennessee. It grows to considerable size etrea as far north as the latitude of southern Iowa, but Iowa winters are too severe for it. It would flourish in the South, and it is susceptible of so many and such va ried uses that it must be seen and util ized to be fully appreciated. . J KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM. :s the Only Possible Way of Having An Kffectlve Cure. If you see a woman or a man with lux uriant glossy hair, you may be sure nei ther has dandruff to amount to anything. In nearly every case where women and men have thin brittle hair, they owe It to dandruff. There are hundreds of prep arations that “claim” to cure dandruff, but not one but Newbro’s Herplclde tells you that dandruff Is the result of a germ burrowing into the scalp, and that per manent cure of dandruff and its conse quent falling and baldness, can only be had by killing the germ; and there is no other preparation that will destroy that germ but Newbro’s Herplclde. “Destroy the cause, and you remove the effect.” Sold by leading druggists.

Bee Stings Cure Rheumatism. After long experiment by bacteriol ogists in their employ, the H. K.

An or der for 50,000 bee stings was placed with one bee farmer in that State. A serum for injection through the skin will be made from the fluid with which the tiny weapons are charged. Of its efficacy for the cure of rheuma tism, Milton Campbell, manager of the: company, says their experiments have left no doubt. The first “experiment” was inadver- A farmer afflicted with rheuma- Ayers This falling of your hair! Stop it, or you will soon be bald. Give your hair some Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

Just now there is serious discussion among the mill men as to the advisa bility of fighting the sixty-six hour law now on the books. Copies of the law which was taken to the court from New York Mate have been sent for to see how it agrees with the law on the statute books of South Carolina, and and should there be any trouble on the labor proposition the law from this State may go up for a test. Just what attitude the general as sembly will take on the matter is not yet known and cannot be foretold, as the debate was quite spirited last year and he vote very close and the decis ion may have its effect upon some of the members, but there is no doubt but that the opeiatives a*-e generally urg ing the passage of the bill, addressing members of the legislature by letter from some of the union headquarters! and showing that an active catnpaigu will be made for the bill.
