Atlantic: Quarterly published at i Durham. N. C., Iihh an article on ' "Some Phases of Southern Educa- | tion" by President Kilgo, of Trini- I ty College, N. O., which makes a * deplorable exhibit of Southern iuddlerence to education, if its statemeats and inferences are correct. Beginning with praise of the 'Southern education" movement t as "a patriotic beneficence com- ? inetulable alike for its generosity i and its wisdom, "the writer pro- i ceeds to give his estimate of the t South as a matter of education, t There are two prominent doffieultieH," he says, that "obstruct the | growth of education in the South, j The first is luck of au educational ,r conscience and the second is the ( lack of sound educational doc- { trines and correct educational | ideals." This is hardly a just estimate of ( he "educational conscience" of the South, in view of the fact that, | since 1871, in spite of the destine- | tion by the North during ami after < the Civil War of billions of per j sonal property, without compensa- , tion, the South has spent * 000,000 on public schools, of which t , sum $121,000,000 was given t<? ne- > ' \ gro schools, to say nothing of tlx* ! . creation of numerous excellent secondary schools, colleges and universities. After the Civil War little accumulated capital was left in the South, and that w<s largely ' consumed in the orgies of negro V Legislatures and alien govern- 1 meats forced upon the people un- * til 1876. in view of the vast work (. done by the impoverished South with her scanty means for private f schools, public schools and institutions of .higher learning, while ' at the same time recreating her in- ' A.: i 1 i *? . uuniiicn, il nt't'iii.i lini'U Illuet'U llllll she should have applied to her a rule of absolute perfection and he ' charged with lack of "educational conscience."

The Kdgefield Advertiser of tin- i litli lias the following to say of Rev. R. A. Yongue, former pastor of the Methodist church here: "Rev. Mr. Yongue, who for the last week has nreaehed so earnest l\ and faithfully in our Methodist 1 church, has been weighed ill the| balances and has not been found wanting. His creator endowed liiin with many talents, and, like a faithful steward, he has improved them all to the glorv of ood Mr. Yoiiguo has preached the Word in a plain, practicable and forcible manner, pressing it home upon his hearers by simple illustiations, of which he has a ready and inexhaustible store. Under his preaching the entire membership has been spiritually awakened ami quickened and a number of new additions to the church made." Memorial Day at Flint Hill. Quito a largo crowd mot at Flint Hill Baptist church on Saturday to decorate the graves of the ConfodoiateH buried in tlie cemetery of that chinch. Before the decoration, eloquent and impressive addresses were made by Rev. W. A. Wright and Rev. Dr. .J. B. Mack. Then, preceded by the Gold Hill band, the veterans marched into the cemetery, followed by the large audience gathered there to pay their tribute of love to the memory of t he "L<\st Cause." Fif y-two graves of Confederate soldiers were found, and a tribute of (lowers lovingly placed on each, one of whom, James Blount, was also a veteran of the Mexican war. Flowers were also placed on the graves of two soldiers ot the Rev olutioh, Rev. John Hooker, for 48 years pastor of Flint Hill church. and Mr. Charles Elms, and on that j of Mr. E. P. Blunkenship. a soldier of tho war of 1812, and Harry Lanier, of the Spanish-American war. Commencement at Pleasant Valley. Tho commencement exercises of the Pleasant Valley High School, to take place on the 22nd iiiHt, will, I as usual, attract a large crowd from that and surrounding sections Prof. Bailee and assistants have arranged a very attractive program for the occasion and the entertainment will probably surpass that of all former years. The exercises will consist principally of highclass recitations, dialogues and dee tarnations. lhere will also be addresses by a number of distinguished educators and orators, j among whom will be J. llarry Forster, Esq., and Senator W. C. Hough, of Lancaster, Prof. ?T. A. Hoyd, of Pineyille, and Prof. ?T. A. Tate,of Fort Mill. But the crowning feature of the occasion, probably, will be the big picnic dinner, for whi?*h the Pleasant Valley people have such a reputation. It is claimed that there are always more people Mini belter viands at thi< picnic than any olln-r lp'ld in tins section. A trnme of baseball will probably be played in llie after noon. Tribute of Respect. It is with saddened hearts and tearful eyes that we meet today, for two of our j members are no longer with us on i earth, the Lord having nailed tlieiu ) "(Jomo up higher." These two, Mrs. j C. P. llelk and Mrs. is. E. White, were not long sepamted from each other, for only a few weeks intervoaod h tween j their passing over the dark river into i the Paradise of our Lord. Mrs. Belk, who died Feb* * t. 1 103, though not an active member, was in full touch ami hearty sympathy with our association, since none more than sue anew ami icir me mint uuys and mitor trials of our bloody and disast rous war. The beautiful tribute to Inr memory inscribed in* the records of tlio Fort Mill Society of the Presbyterian church, was prompted by the heart and penned by the hand of Mrs. S. E. White. Mrs. White, who died April "JH, HM:i, was our 1st Vice-President and the most active and liuuntkil member of the association. ller wise counsel, prudent forethought and prompt liberality made ; her our moving spirit and proper leader. Sad indeed are our hearts when we feel that no more will we have her dear presence with us, and no more hear h< r sweet words of wise and loving counsel. Let us take courage from the consistent lives of these two ami carry oil the work t hey so nobly did, t heirs and ours, so that when the silent messenger comes, we may be found prepared, as they wore, to cuter the Haven of Rest.* Let us be patient!

Dear Mrs. Person: A good while back my health commenced failing and I got in a low condition. I was always tired; with poor appetite, so tired always that 1 did not feel equal to any exertion at all. I had enlarged glands on the neck which were very sore and when I would take colli they would enlarge and cause me much suffering. I often had sjh IIs of intlammatory rheuniatism which affected the whole of my body and rendered me helpless. 1 tried medical treatment, which i would give temporary relief, but it did not cure me. I tried various patent preparations, but they did me no good. At last a friend persuaded me to use ' Mrs'Joe Person's ]Elemed.y : : I bought a half-dozen bottles, and after taking it I felt so much better that I did not feel like taking any more. The next year in the spring 1 knew I needed more and again took a half-dozen. I took it in tliat way until it has made a complete cure of me and my health is tine. The enlarged glands ai*e entirely k cured, rheumatism entirely cured, and 1 am now in stout, robust health, and I adviso everybody who needs a tonic or aro "run down" to use Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy.
