It oilers many attractive and valu able prizes. Send to A.W. Love Chester, for a copy. It is not too early to begin preparations to send enough exhibits to cap ture Marlboro's share of prizes offered this year. One fact should make many new exhibitors for the next Fair -the Society pays the freight on all exhibits grown or produ ced in this State, thus enabling exhibits to be sent to and re turned from the fair without cost to the exhibitor. A certain pupil of the public schools was recently asked to write an essay on the human body and this was the result: "The human body consists of thu hoad, thorax, abdomen and legs. Tho hoad contains the brains in caso there aro any. Tho thorax contains tho heart and lunga, aldo the liver and lights. Tbs auiibmen contains tho bowels, of which there aro five-a, e, i, o, u, and somotimcs w and y. The legs extend from thc abdomen to tho floor, and have hinges at the top and middle to ennble a fellow to sit when standing or to stand when sitting."-Albany Journal. M. J. Finnegan of our city had a friend by the name of Frank L. Damm who rosides near Senator. When Mr. Damm heard of Mr. Finnegan's mar riage not long ago he wrote him a lettsr of congratulation and added: "Please accept the con gratulations of the whole Daram family."-Lacon (111) Home Journal. According to an exchange, the man who .went out to milk and sat on a rock in the middle of the pasture and waited for the cow to back lip, was a brother to a man, who kept store and wouldn't advertise because he reasoned that the purchasing public would back up to his place of business when it want ed something. FROH BftlGHTSYIIiLE. What Was Seen and Heard by a Visitor. .The meeting at Antioch church closed Friday afternoon amid the shouts of now-born souls and gene ral rejoicing of the people of God from the various churches around. It did seem a pity that the meeting should close juBt at that time with the altar crowded vith penitents and souls being saved every day, but tho meeting at Boy kin WOB to commence on Sunday and preacher and people needed a day's rest. We predict a great and glorious meeting at Boy kin thiB week, for Brightsville cir cuit has a preacher worthy of his calling, and the people ot the charge should feel truly grateful to the S. C. conference for keeping them sup plied with such preachers as Rove. Baker and Shuler, for they are wor thy of as good preachers as the con ference affords-a generous, kind hearted people, that believe in reli gion and a plenty to eat-ever ready to stand by their pastor through evil as well as good report, as has been demonstrated in the past. Rev. Shuler was assisted at Antioch by RevB. Ariail, Parry, Peele and Mo Farlan. The crops in Brightsville section are very good, especially corn, and the cotton, though somewhat late, will compare favorably with . -at year, and with the present rain, I think there will be an extra good crop if nothing happens to it from now on. The farmers seem to be in fine spirit and everything points to prosperty. New buildings are going up in every direction, and all business seems to be thriving, and a general good time seems to be coming to those who continue to labor and to wait. Friends, continue to lift up your eyes and look to the hills from whence cometh all our help. Aug. 3,1903. B. F. B. CUP JD'S WORK. Married in this town on Friday evening last by Rev. A. B.

The happy couple left Weduesday morning on the 8.30 train for Mt. Airy where they will spend their honey moon. A goodly number of friends pre ceded them to the depot and tied an old shoe at each end of thc coach, and as the bride and groom ap proached the train showered them with rice. DEATHS' DOINQS.

Tho' South Carolina College in round off out the flrst century of Its existence inj will celebrate Ita centennial In Jan uary, 1905. The College was-chartered II 1801 and. opened for active work rn january, 1805. It owes Its existence to ? patriotic purpose, the education of til thc youth of the State nt a common -cuter, "in order to promote tho in struction, thc good order and the har nouy of the whole community," und it ?voa built from a portion of thc pro c?da of a reimbursement made.by the United Stutts to South Om ulina for ex penefra Incurred lu the Revolution. Dur ing the century that is closing the Col lege ho* contributed largely to tba .uucsmanship, the patriotism, tho earning and the. high morel standards that have prevailed in South CRrulina ?nd ber sister Staten. Tho roll of Col lege Alumni contains the names of men who have, become noted In ail the pur suits of life, both in peace and war. Thc exigencies of the struggle between tb? States closed t*e college In 180? and the buildings were used aa hospi tal* for sick and wounded Confederates. Out as soon aa peace was restored the iBstltatlon was reopened by tba "Orr government" and enjoyed several years of success unttl lt was overturned dur ing th? Radical regime. Since 1880, bow aver, the college hon been continuously open, and bas educated hundreds of young men and a number af young women, who for some years have been permitted to partake of Ita advantages. Originally the College was known as a literary institution, although -from ?arly tunes Its faculty contained scien tists of great ability, but of late years Its courses have broadened out so as to embrace aloo technical aclenUflc inr .traction, Inst ruction tc law and a csurse in practical methods for teach ers. President Benjamin Sloan, the head Sf tbs Department of- Physics and En gineering, la a graduate of West Point, end was a distinguished oQcer of o*d aaace during tbe war between the States.

Some of the other mem bers of tb? faculty have had dis tinguished careers in thia College, while others have brought to lt the beat methods of colleges and universities elsewhere. Thc ratest rc<a?nt and most important addition that nos been made to tho usefulness of thc College is the estab lishment of scholarships to be given to one man-teacher in each county who Uns taught at least one year. This is intended to ofter the advantages of pro fessional training to ono who has al ready gathered practical experience in ll? cet contact with pupils in the school reojo? and ?eullzes the difllculties that ? noKI he nin-mniinted.

Although nearly approaching tts cray tennial anniversary, the South Cas'?iasa College shows none of thc dcereplfuae of old age, but rallier Increasing signs of vigorous life. A new departure OT great Importance to thc CoUego and tp the State has just been inaugurated. Ppr some yeurs the College has had a department of pedagogy, for tho traUv .ng of teachers; but lost winter, for the tl rat time, thc Legislature created a number of endowed normal scholar ships, one for each county. It ls toe intention of tho Trustees and Faculty 'o set these scholarships upon a high plane, and to seek thereby to qualify superior young men for positions af leadership and influence in our public -.chools. However largely women may >e employed as teachers, the work of ?uperltitea?ence, direction and control ?mint continue to be most largely tn tbs hands of the men; and lt ls. to supply these te nob ern of leadership and i ti ll u euee, in the community as weil aa bi '.lie schools, that the College win chiefly ;iin, through these scholarship?. Renee, io young man under nineteen years of ige will he eligible, and preforenee wW Se given to those applicants who have already taught with success far at ieiist one year. A special and technical course of. study has been established, on a high yet practical plane; and it Ia intended tlint this department shnU be worthily. entitle?! to he called a "College for Tc-uchei s." All the work will be . dis tinctively normal, and apart from the regular College classes. Tlie Trustees and Faculty feel sure that in preparing s body of strong and well equippe.d men teachers thc College will uld In supplying one of the most Important needs of thc State. They hope, also, that thia work, in its success and its results, may meet with such public ap proval as to lead hereafter to Ita still further enlargement. Circulars have been issued giving the details of regulations and course of utudy. fi The present session, now nearly ended, hus been very encouraging. Not a ripple hus disturbed the Internal peace of the College. The new Presi dent has won golden opinions, and has more than maintained Uie confidence and aiT?H-t<on gained In his long service as professor. The friends of the Col !pge look hopefully forwurtl lo the con tinued success and lncrpiiKi"l usefulneas of thia venerated institution, which will soon enter upon Us second century of. honorable history.

EMANUEL. \A/HEN ASHCRAFT'S Condi tion Powders are fed to horses and mules, marked improvement will be seen after the first few doses. There is no doubt about it. The Powders, acting directly on the digestive organs, first thoroughly cleanses the stomach and bowels, correcting all disorders, and then good healthy appetite comes nat urally and surely. It is the most powerful tonic and appetizer on the market to-day, and when once used horsemen will have no other. Ashcraft's Powders produce that silky sheen of coat and hair so admired by horse fanciers. The Powders fatten but never bloat. Always high grade and put up in doses-never in bulk. By the use of three or four doses a week your horse or mule will not be subject to colic or any dis ease of the stomach and bowels. "I had an old horse that was In very had condition generally. He was thin and had a blood dlsea?e that was causing the hair to come off. I gave the horse three doses ot Ash craft's Condition Powders a day for seven days and fed him liberally. Thc appetite improved from thc first few doses and thc animal gained fifty-two pounds in flesh during the weclc I gavu it three doses a day. Thc general health of thc animal was greatly improved hy the usc of thc powders and he was made almost a new horse. I most heartily recommend Ashcraft's Condition Powders, as I know they are a splen did tonie and appetizer.-C. C. SIRES, Livery man, Monroe,V. O." Ask for Ashcraft's Condition Powders. Package 25c.
