? 1 OS^MaPRHTONK C«1XI£«K Thursday the exerciaea of Limeatono College were auapended until ten days before the opening of the next regular sesalon. The stu dents began to leave on Friday, and they have been going every day since until yesterday, whan the last party of some eight or ten attended by two of the most faithful and elTicient teachers in the college, Misses Werts and Pitcher, left for their homes. The causes that led to this step on the part of the college authorities re quire to be explained. About a month ago some cases of slight sickness oc curred among the students which were pronounced to be of a bilious type and incident to the change of season. These cases usually recovered in a few days and were not sufficiently severe to excite any uneasiness, the attending physician failing to dis cover any symptoms that indicated typhoid or any other disease of a serious nature. Later, however, there were three or four cases In suc cession which began in the usual way and failed to run theif course in the usual time, exhibiting finally some of the symptoms of typhoid fever, only one of them, however, developing these symptoms while at the college. In the meantime greatly exaggerated reports had spread over the country and had of coune excited undue agi tation among the patrons and friends of the college who soon imparted tbdir own perturbation to a small por tion of the student body. The work of instruction had teen completed for the session, and there was nothing before the college but the final examinations which were expected to occupy the last two weeks of the session. As the stand ard had been raised two full years there were no graduates, and a com mencement was by no means a neces sity, while the classes were being fllightly disturbed by the withdrawal of members in obedience to orders from parents at a distance who had not the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the true situation. Under these circumstances Dr. Lodge, after consultation with Capt. Montgomery and as many of the trustees as were accessible, deter mined to avoid all possible risk to the health of the large number of stu dents who remained, by suspending the examinations until the time above stated. There have been in all only about four cases that assumed anything like * typhoid type, and these, so far as we are informed, are all convalesc ing. When it is remembered that the college has had about one hun dred and fifty students, this propor tion will not strike sensible people as assuming the character and dimen sions of a disaster. If the college had been provided with an infirmary, as it will be before another session, this sickness would have attracted no unusual attention. The session has been the grandest one in the history of the college. The health of the students has been remarkably good and the vast ma jority of them are enthusiastic over jbhe high and far-reaching wont that has been done. Every room in the dormitory has been engaged and ticketed lot another session, and frere it not (or the fact that more room Is to be provided during the eummerjg|be college would not be able to accommodate all who will very probably wish to enter.

There will be no exercises at the white schools in litu thereof, the pupils -ind teachers will have a picnic a* G >at Island, on Broad rivor, next Frid iy Those who have the pic io m charge for Friday will mike thor ough preparation to give every on» of the party his share of erjoyn ent, and this feature will probably ahurd more genuine pleasure for the attend ants of the school than they would derive from commencement exercises at the college. Rev. Campbell and his assistants of the colored school have arranged for very elaborate exercises Wednes day and Thursday nights—the pro gram embracing music, recitations, dialogues and addresses by visitors, probably by some of the trustees of the schools, as has been the custom at former commencements of that school. The schools have all had a prosperous year and each one has made a splendid showing. The at tendance has been greater than dur ing any previous session, the teach ers have labored faithfully and dili gently, th? scholars, upon the whole, have applied themselves well and the results are highly satisfactory to the trustees and teachers, and to the pu pils as well. The program for the exercises at the colored school is wel! arranged, and those who have part in it will no doubt acquit themselves in a man ner that will reflect much credit upon their instructors. A New Kutcrprlsc Tor OufToi'y. Mr. J. A. Carroll returned to the city Friday from New York, where he has been on business. Mr. Car- roll brings with him the glad intel ligence that the Welsback Light Co. will erect in Gaffney a $6 (MX) plant for the purpose of separating mona- zite. The machinery has been ordered and the plant will bo erected at once. The close proximity of Gaffney to the magnificent monazito mines of this and Cleveland county was the factor that led the Welsback people to select this place for their plant. Mr. Carroll, who has been handling monazito for years, was In strumental in bringing this enter prise here We welcome the new en terprise and trust it will be a source of profit to the promotors. l.ocal Cotton Kcport The following are the prices paid for cotton in Gaffney today: Good Middling 7g Middling 7| Dr. Itull’s Cough Syrup in not a common every day cough mixture.
