Mr. Wilder is himself a practical school teacher of the progressive kind, well educated, and well up in all the latest methods of teaching. If all the commis sioners of the State were as deeply inter ested in their work as Mr. Wilder, there would be a great deal less complaint about the ineffciency of the public school system. ir. D.

He has a double wire streched from his boarding house (Mr. B. 0. Cantey's) to Sprott's store to be continued thence to Mr. Porter's office, under whom he will take lessons. Three instruments will be used. Our B. B. Club has accepted a challenge from the Wee Nees, of Kingstree, and will play the first game Friday next, on the grounds of the former at this place. A live ly time is anticipated. We are glad to know the Manning Guards are going to honor us with their presence n the 14th prox. Foreston is well repre sented in this gallant company, and the town will spare no efforts to make the occa sion a gala day. We guarantee you and them a cordial welcome and a pleasant time. A grand stand is being erected for their special benefit, which we hope to have fin ished for the Friday's game. Crops are looking well though somewhat foul, the recent heavy rains having stopped work. - Foresten's Anticipated Festivities. FoansoN, May 28.-Ioreston is just now arranging for her summer festivals. Friday next the Kingstree base ball club is to play a match game with the Foreston club. They have supplied themselves with an extra ball for the Kingstree knights. On the 8th of June, Miss McCormie, our estimable music teacher, gives an entertain ment at the Academy. On the 14th, I am informed the Manning Guards will have in this place a basket pic nic, prize drill, and target practice. There will also be a game of base ball. The "boys" will meet a warm reception from our people. On the 4th of July, the Sunday-schools of Foreston will have a basket picnic at Mar tin's Lake, on.the Kingstree Road, to which everybody is invited. They propose to have speeches, dialogues, a cantata, etc., interspersed with good music. An enjoy able day is in anticipation. Will send the Tmss a proram as soon as it is decided on. Crops n t section are as fine as could be asked for. The ground is just now getting in order after our heavy rains. POP. Mr. F. P. Cooper Declines. Mn. EnZzo:-In your issue of May 9th you published a resolution, adopted by the Midway club, nominating me for the House of Representatives. I was entirely ignorant of the existence of such a paper until it was read at our club meeting. While deeply appreciating the high compliment paid me, I cannot consent to allow my name to be used as a candidate for any office, and hereby most positively decline. I have no claim upon the people of Clar endon, for in the past, as I shall ever do in the future, I have done nothing but my plain secor duty, and when one does only this, he is entitled to neither thanks nor re ward. FRANK P. COOPER. May 24th, 1888. The Auditor Replies. Mn. Enrro:-In your issue of May 23d, I see the Treasurer explains. It becomes my duty to correct his explanation. He says: "Now it frequently occurs that the same name is found charged up with taxes unpaid in an9ther township different to the one the party lives in;'or perhaps in the same township two tax charges to the same namne in separate places **The mistakes are called 'double entries' ** This is a question which does not apply to my offie, **The auditor cannot be ' blamed for double entries." Every year there are corrections and abatements to make because of the hun dreds of returns made by colored people, friends returning for friends among them ses, and many of these the auditor never heard of before, and would not know them if he should see them. While this is sothe Treasurer is mistaken when he asserts that it is a 'are occurence when taxes are collect ed and he failsatozmark itasoon the book. The fact is,it is arare occurence when the double entries are found and a common oc curene when the tax is collected and failure is made to maric it paid. The majority of these few double entries are caused by the Treasurer's neglect. For example, the tax payer calls for his taxes. The Treasurer carelesly looks for his name, and tells him there is no tax charged. *nst him, and sends himtome foran add'tional. He gets the same, and pays tax, and when the Treasurer closes his collection I find that the name was on the book and overlooked by him. I do not merely assert these things, but can prove them by the books in my offce, and will take pleasure in doing so, at any time, to any one who desires to know the truth about it. In twenty cases (not selected) recently exmined in sherif's offie when receipts have been found, two are by additionals, as above stated, one double entry, and 17 single entries where the Treas urer collected the taxes and failed to mark thm1i.Very respectfully, DAN'L J.

C., is at the Central Hotel, and is the agent here for "Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Bible." The work is a large octavo volume of about 1,200 pages, and contains, of course, all that is in the ordinary Bible, together with Cruden's Revised Concordance. The work has been earnestly commended by the most eminent scholars of all denomina tions, and it has been very happily describ ed as the Bible of the Workmng Christian. It is pre-emiinently the Bible of the busi ness man, the man of moderate scholarship and of more mzoderate leisure. The reader my turn with a wonderful and unerring rapidity to any subject that may be referred o in the Scriptures. It takes only a glance at Hitchcock's great work to show that it is, perhaps. the most admirable publication that has been offered for sale within the past twenty-five years. Mr. D. M!.

At a meeting last Friday of the citizens interested in the cemetery, a temporary or ganization was effected by electing W. J. Clark, president; S. A. Rigby, vice president; S. A. Nettles, secretary; and Dr. G. Allen Huggins, treasurer. The following committee was appointed to make application to the clerk of court for charter: Messrs. J. E. Scott, G. A. Huggings, and S. A. Nettles. A general discussion ensued relative to putting the cemetery in proper shape at once, and Messrs. G. A. Huggins, W. K. Bell, and L. Appelt were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions for the purpose of putting the cemetery in repair, and to have the work done as soon as practi cable. A charter will be obtained shortly, and early in July a permanent organization will be effected. As soon as the association is legally or ganized, proper steps will then be taken to keep the cemetery in such condition as not to be an eye-sore to the town. Under the skilful supervision of the late Dr. G. A. Huggins, the ceuietery is already in such a condition as to requires bit little work to make it a beautiful place. . County Clubs and Convention.
