It is a reflection on the good people of our town, and unless something is done very soon the cemetery will have no enclosure. $ The town council generously gave Mr. H. 9 (I* DrttUlittUI lliC iilOU ui vuo j vai uicwu. U dollars to work the grounds, but he has no more to do with the fencing than any other citizen. Many of our citizens have their dead buried there, and they should take interest enough in the matter to see that the money is raised and the necessary repairs made at once. Remember J. I. Kinard & Son when you need groceries, fruits and vegetables. Prompt delivery. Our growing business has forced us to provide ourselves with additional power for running oiir presses. For the last five years we have been using electricity, getting the power from the cotton-mill here through the kindness of the management. Our business has grown so that we now need power pretty much all the time, and we did not feel like imposing on the mill authorities any longer. We have therefore purchased a handsome gasoline engine, of the best and most improved make, and it will be installed in a few weeks, v The engine is manufactured by Fairbanks, Morse & Co., of Chicago, and is a firstclass machine. When the engine is put in, we will have power day and night, and we will then use the small dynalno we now have for lighting our office. We will then be independent of any electric light plant, and cordially invite our friends to come in to see us when we get these im. provements made. , ?'

The announcement is made in a letter from Dr. Edgar Gardner Murphy, the secretary, to State Superintendent of Education Martin. This is a great thing for Columbia. It , means that 1,000 or more of the most in telligent and progressive men of the couni try will spend a week there next spring as the city's guests. ! The date for the meeting has not been definitely fixed but it will be the last week in April most probably, as that is . the time most suitable to Columbia and about the time that the conference is usually held. This year the conference : met in Birmingham and Columbia will have to bestir herself even to equal the aloViama kite's hosnitalitv. The vear before the meeting was held in Richmond and the Virginia capital entertained the visitors most royally. The attendance , next year will be larger than ever, as the , conference is growing, and there is a very general desire to come to Columbia. It is said that the executive committee, which selects the place of meeting, was practically unanimously in favor of Columbia. ?The State. % Dots from the Fitting: School. The time since last you published anything from the Fitting School has been filled largely with a great deal of good honest work, perhaps somewhat monot ouous in itscnaracier, nuisucu as auuius much news for the public, but work thai is telling in its results on the lives acc characters of the students. There is i great deal of hard, honest, thorough woit being done by the school now. Every thing is working systematically; all ii tending towards the best that can be givei in preparatory training upon the younj lives which are here for instruction. Last Saturday evening the Kilgo an( Sheridan literary societies met in a join public meeting and carried out a very in teresting program. The occasion for th< meeting was the presence of Dr. Henri Nelson Snyder, president of Wofford col lege, and of the Carlisle and Woffon Fitting Schools. The information con cerning Dr. Snyder's visit was receive< so late that no derate could be arranged but the following young men and younj ladies gave a very creditable index o their society work: On declamation Misses Pearle Delk and Minnie Arant and Messrs D. T. Strickland and Ubi Mil lican; on essays, Misses Lula Gates an( Mattie Sanders, and Mr. Sheddie Arant All acquitted themselves with mucl honor. After the regular work of the society was completed, Dr. Snyder was introaucet to the school, and he began by speaking of the pleasure he felt in getting to se< and meet "his other boys and girls" fo: whom he feels such a warm and sincer< interest. This was his first visit to tlx school this year in person, though, o course there exists the official relationshi] that he sustains to this school . Thereasoi of his absence is the long distance tha separates him from us. After a few pleas ant introductory remarks, he entere< earnestly into his subject: "The Debt Due by Students," under which he men tioned the debts due the parent, the fam ily, the school, the teacher, the associates aDd to self. There were many raoist eye before the earnest speaker had conclude and his remarks cannot help strengthen ing every hearer who has a spark of tru manhood or womanhood. On Sunday morning Dr. Snyder deliv ered a very fine lecture on "Christ, th Teacher," at the Methodist church. Oi Sunday night he spoke principally t< young men, to all young people in genei al. Both talks were very fine, full o good thought, deep scholarship, an< spoken in the speaker's own attractive forceful, eloquent manner. The boys an< girls of the Fitting School attended botl services and were greatly pleased by both Rev. E. 0. Watson, pastor of Centra Methodist church, the first cnurcn o Spartanburg, spent Monday night in towi having stopped over ijight to see Rev. Id W. Hook and family, and Professor an< Mrs. W. C. Owen, on his way home froc Charleston, where he had been to preac) the annual sermon before the State Wo man's Christian Temperance Union. Hi visit was much enjoyed, and his man; friends regret that he had to leave th next morning so early before attendinj the exercises of the school. The weekly holiday has been change< from Saturday to Monday. There wen many good reasons for the change, rea sons that have caused nearly all college to make the change, and the studenti seem much pleased as a result. It is i significant fact that no college which ha: ever made the change has ever changec back by a vote of the students, if il changed at all. Monday holiday removes the temptation to study on Sunday, givef the student the advantage of going tc class fresh from the study table, and no) placing him under the disadvantage ol meeting classes a day or two after having studied Monday's lessons. The students are tempering the classroom work by taking a good deal of helpful exercise, thus keeping the physical man strong to support the mind. The girls are soon to enjoy the privilege of s basket and captain and volby ball grounds The boys amuse themselves by kicking their football, though there is no regulai team. Miss Maude Kernaghan visited bei home in Columbia during the fair. Mr John Ulmer, of the senior class, took ii the fair also. Mr. Boyd, of Chesterfield county, hai just entered the Junior class. Prof. Sheridan spent last Thursday night in Orangeburg. Messrs. Noel Carter and Stephen Strick land have returned to school, after spend ing several days at home. THOUSANDS CURED.
