On the 9th of March at noon the dwelling house, kitchen and smoke house of F. M. Polk, Jr., was de stroyed by fire. The loss was heavy, and there was nothing saved from the kitchen or smoke house except a little meat; a part of the furniture in the house was saved. We hope that our friends will help us in trying to replace the loss, especially in rebuilding a house for his family to live in. Mr. Polk has always been a faith ful man to his people and always ready to serve them when con venient. A Friend.

Mr Editor: Will you allow me space to say a few words in regard to the union? I am not very much at this, but I cfcn see some things very plainly. I am sorry to say that the union of this section is not doing much. We have only about twelve or fifteen members, but we never can get them all to meet together, and those that do meet don't accom plish anything. I am sorry to know that our people are so careless about anything of so much importance. There are two Meals in leas than one and a half miles apart, namely: Oak Grove, No. 499, and Bethlehem, No. 553. I belong to Bethlehem, and I suppose Oak Grove la very nearly broken up, and ours is doing no good. I think if we could get the county union to meet with the two locale and have some good speeches it might be a great help toua, and if you could assii WINTHROP SCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE EXAMINATION* The following announcement from President D B Johnson of Winthrop College wiU be read w ith interest by the-people of the county. The scholarship and entrance ex amination for Winthrop College will be held at every county court house in the State on July*?, beginning at 9 a. m. All students who wish to epply for a scholarship or for admis sion to the college without a scholar ship should stand this examination. Will you please give notice, of this examination to the young ladies of your school or acquaintance who might be interested? I expect to advertise thoroughly in your county papers later. Applicants for admission to the college must be not less than fifteen years of age, of irreproachable moral character, and of sound phys ical health, and must have a good education in the common school branches. Students nearer seven teen years of age have a much bet ter chance of doing good work with £ us than those nearer fifteen. Our \ main work is the preparation of j ? teachers for the schools of the State. I 3^ and th? maturer the students the j M better we can do our work. We! ^ \yant only earnest students who are j U willing to apply themselves diligent-1 y !y and conscientiously to the per formance of all their college duties. If you have no students ready for admission to Winthrop, you may ha^e some who would like to know something of the College with a view of preparing for admission in the next year or two. We hope and believe you will co operate with us in making this Stat? institution all it ought to be for the young women and the schools of South Carolina. Fraternally yours. D. B. JOHNSON.
