It oilers many attractive and valu able pri/.es. 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 exhibiL to be sent to and re turned from the fair without cost to the exhibitor. A certain pupil of the public schools was recently aBke'1 to write an essay on the human uody and this was the result: "The human body consists of thc head, thorax, abdomen and legs. The hoad contains the brains in caso there aro any. Tho thorax contains the heart and lungs, aldo tho liver apd lights. .To? abdomen containa tho bowels, of which there are five-a, e, i, o, u, and sometimos w and y. The legs extend from the ubdonien 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 oy the name of Frank lt. 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 Damm family."-Lacon (111) Home Journal. According to an exchange, the man who went out to milk and sat on ? rock in the middle of the pasture and waited for the cow to back up, 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 BRIGHTS TILLE.. What Was Seen and Heard by a Visitor. The meeting at Antioch church closed Friday afternoon amid the shouts of new-born BOUIB and gene ral rejoicing of the people of God from the various churches around. It did seem a pity that the meeting should oloso juBt at that time with the altar crowded v i th penitents and souls hoing saved every day, but the meeting at B?ykiu was to commence on Sunday and preacher and peoplo needed a day's rest. Wo predict a great and glorious meeting at Boy kin this week,' for Brightsville cir cuit has a preacher worthy of hie calling, and the people of the charge should feel truly grateful to the S. C. conference for keeping them sup plied with such preachers as Revs. 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 Revs. Ariail, Parry, Peele and Mc Farlan. The crops iu Brightsville section arc very good, especially corn, and the cotton, though somewhat late, will compare favorably with last 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 he 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. 3,1S03. B. F. B. CTFPWS WORK. Married in thia town on Friday evening lOBt by Rev. A. B.

Indeed, it was a clever surprise to all, as no invitations were issued, and only the closest friends were let into the secret and were present at the marriage. The happy couple left Wednesday 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 thc bride and groom ap proached the train showered them with rice. DEATHS' DOINGS.

Tho'South Carolina College ta round off out thc flrot century or its existence ind will relebrutc Its centennial tn Jan jary, 1005. Tho College was charioted it 1801 and opened for active work to January, 1805. It owes Its existence to . patriotic purpose, the education of iii thc youth of the H tute at a common center, "In order to promote the In ?truttlon, ' Rood order and th? har nony of t. .-hole community," und it was built . nt a portiun o? thc pro c?da of a reimbursement made by the United Stutcs to South Carolina for ex penses incurred iu thc Revolution, tour ing the century that is closing the Col ene has contributed largely to tho .latcBmanshlp. . the patriotism, tho earning and the. high moral standards that nave prevailed in South Carolina and ber sister States. The roll of Col lege Alumni contains the names of men ?bo nave, become noted In all the pup suits of life, both tn peace and war. The exigencies of tbe struggle botween tike States closed tate college in 1633, and tbe buildings were awl as hospi talu for sick ana wounded Confederates. Ont as soon as peace was restored tbe Institution was reopened by tb* "Orr government" and enjoyed several years of success until lt was overturned d-ir ing the Xiadlcal regime. Since 1680, bow ever, tbe college baa been continuously open, and bas educated hundreds of yaun? men and a number af young women, who for some years have been parra I tied to partake of its advantages. Originally the College was known as a literary institution, although from .arly times Its faculty contained scien tists of great ability, but of late years its courses have broadened out so as to embrace also technical scientific ln> sSrueuou, instruction in law and a course fn practical methods for teach ers. President Benjamin Sloan, the head sf the Department of-Physics and Kn docer!ag. is a graduate of West Point, said waa a distinguished ocQoer of or? nasM? during tbe war between tbs Statw. tils graduates in euglpserlng are now occupying moot responsible pool tiena in diff?rent patts ?ai the United titates.

Some of the other mem bers of the faculty have had dis tinguished careers in this College, while others bave brought to lt tbe beet methods of colleges and universities elsewhere. Thc ratost recent and moat important addition that has been made tb the usefulness 0r thc College ls the estab lishment of scholarships to be given to one man-teacher in each county who has taught at least one year. This ia Intended to ofter the advantages of pro fessional training to one who has aU ready gathered practical experience in Jlrcct contact with pupils in the school room and rculizcu thc difficulties that munt be surmounted.

Although nearly approaching ttp etrav tentual anniversary, the South Csrduua College shows none of thc d?vretforae of old age, but rattier Increasing siffna of vigorous life. A new departure of xreat Importance to thc College and tp the State has just been inaugurated, for some years the College has bad a department of pedagogy, for the trattt .ng of teachers; but last winter, for Ch? (list time, the Legislature created a number of endowed normal scholar ships, one for each county. It is the 'mention of thc Trustees and Faculty to sut these scholarships upon a high plane, and to seek thereby to qualify superior young men for positions af leadership and Influence in our public .leliools. However largely women may. -e employed as teachers, tbe work of ?uperlntendence, direction and control 'tiuftt continue to be most largely tn the hands of the meit; and it ls. to supply ihece teachers of leadership and in fluence, in the community as woU as in '.he schools, that the College wu! chiefly ?lin, through these scholarships. Hence, io young man under nineteen years of ige will he eligible, and pre/arenee wHf Sc niven to thone applicants who have already taught with success for at !eunt one year. .*? A special and technical course af study lian been established, on a bigb yet practical plane; and lt Is Intended that thin department shaU be worthily, entitled to he railed a "College for Teachers." All the work will be ' dis tinctively normal, and apart from the regular College classes. The Trustees and faculty feel sure that lu preparing s body of strong and well equipped men teachers thc College will uid In -upplylng one of the most important needs of the State. They hope, also, that till,", work, In Its suceees and its results, may meet with such public ap proval ur. to lend hereafter to its still further enlargement. Circulars have been issued giving the details of regulations and course of study, fi The present session, now nearly ended, ha? been very encouraging. Not s ripple hus disturbed the Internal pence of the College. The new Presi dent has won golden opinions, and has more than maintained the confidence and affection gained In his long service MS professor. The friends of thc Col lege look hopefully forward lo the con tinued SUACCSS mid Increased usefulness of this venerated Institution, which will soon enter upon its second century of honorable ll la to ry.

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, i 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 wiii not be subject to colic or any dis ease of the stomach and bowels. "I had an old horse that was In very bad condition generally. He wfts tnlu aml "a<* a blood dlHcase that was causing the hair to come off. 1 gave the horse three doses ol Ash craft's Condition Powders a day for seven days and fed him liberally. Thc appetite improved from the flrst few doses and the animal gained fifty-two pounds in flesh during the week I Rave it ihrcc doses a day. The general health of thc animal was greatly improved by the use of thc powders and he wns made almost a new horse. 1 most heartily recommend Ashcraft's Condition Powders, as I know they arc a splen did tonic and appetizer.-C.
