Tlio April number of the South *.
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- '

she should have applied to her a

State Borrowing Money.
The State of South Carolina
made armngeinents yesterday to ,
borrow $r>0.00() and another rate I
will be made for$25.000soon, mak- j
i11a total of $75,000 borrowed by
I line 1.
This in rather early for the State j
to be borrowing money, but the
State treasurer thinks it will lie
neeossary to have it on band by
the lirst of the month, and lie does
not wish to run behind in meeting
the obligations of the State.
T<je likelihood is that the State
will have to borrow up the full a
mount authorized by law?$300,UOO

Rev. Mr. Ycngue in Edgefield.
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! These severe afflictions.
Not from the ground arise.
But. oftentimes celestial benedictions,
Assume this dark disguise.
Wo see but dimly though the mists
mm vapors
Amid these earthly (lamps,
What seem t<? us bui sad, funeral tapers
May bo Heaven's distant lamps,
There is no death! What seems so is
transition,
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portals we call death.
We will bo patient and assuage the
fouling.
We. may nqt wholly stay,
By silence, sanctifying not concealing,
The grief that must h iVe Way.

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.
