The Industrial Kobool Commission, consisting of Miss Mary Yeargln, of Laurena, Miss Hannah Homphill, ol Abbeville, and Prof. D. B. Johnson, or Columbia, paid tue oxpccted visit to Laurens last week. Tho com Mission arrived at Clinton from Chester late Tuesday P. M. and while thoro visited tho Thon, well Or phanage, an Institution interesting to all Christians, and especially South Car olinians. They roached Laurous at elevon P. M., the up train being an hour lute. A committee consisting of Col. Simpson, Dr. Caine,Mr. Simklns, Mr. \V. L.Uray, Mr. W. W.

Besides, she odits a paper and Micro is a fooling in tho newspaper craft, which always insuros a woloonio and friends whorovor a mo tu ber happens to tarry long enough to bo como known. Prison Romlnlscouces, Tho Prosperity Press and Koporlor of last wook contains an account of prison lifo at Point Lookout, Md., writton by Hov. J. B. Tray wick, at ono timo pastor of tho Laurons Methodist church, and well known aud ostcotnod throughout this county. Mr. Traywick fought through tho war, although tho fact that ho had alroady commenced studying for the ministry when tho lighting began would have oxcusod him. Ho was cap tured in 180-1. Ills story of tho hunger, cold, cruolty and privation is related simply and directly; us ho says, "in no spirit of vindlctivcness but merely to prosorvo tho facts of history." Tliero is a vory thrilling relition of tho escape ol thirty-two men, who woro about to bo executed because nono of them would confess to tho killing of ono of the guards. Tho day before tho inon woro to bo shot, one of thoin made a masonic sign which was observed by a fedoral soldier and ho ferreted out tho prisoners who had really dono the killing. Mr. Sam Fiiekott, of tliis county, was ono of tho thirty-two. Coming from a man of Mr. Truywick's standing, tho whole narrative is a ral uaulo contribution to the historical lit oraturo of tho war. A Suggestion. A gontloiran remarked to tho editor of this paper a few days ago that tho city cemetery should bo in charge of tho city council; that it should bo Kepi in order at public oxponso just as public burying grounds are liv-ucajly all other cities and towns; and that tho oounoil should be hold rosponsiblo for it. Ho was of tho opinion that everything that could bo wished lor in regard to tho matter could hardly booxpoctod from tho manage mec+>Oi a citizen's oommittoo and that if tho cemetery was under tho surveil lance of tho council committee, whoso business it is to look aftor tho streets and other public works, that a much bettor condition of things would soon come about, Nobody is going to say that tho sug gestion of tho gentleman is not pretty woll considered and tho ADVERTISER inclines to beliovo that tho City of tho Dead should bo kept In beautiful order at tho oxponso and by tho caro of tho city of tho living, acting as a corpora tion. Tho hilling of John Sloan. Hampton Holland, a white man, shot John Sloan, colored, on I'ea ltidgo Fri day morning, July 10th, and Sloan died Saturday morning following.

Culbertson, 1st vice president, Col. J. II. Whar tou; Und vico president, J. B. Bolt, Secretary, Jj. T. II. Daniel. Executive Committee, T. B. An derson, James Henderson, James E. Martin. Twelve schools were represented, being an increase of a Iittlo moro than 70 per cent over last year's report, only 7 being reported last year. Tho queries wore thou taken up and discussed, and tho convention was interestingly entertained, as tho speakers had prepared them selves, thus evincing tho earnest ness and zeal of the Sunday School workers in Waterloo. Thero was u recess of an hour and 10 minutes for dinner, after Which the convention reassembled and finished the business laid down. Wo had ono minister with us, Rev. I). P. Est es, of Chester, who kindly consented to take tho placo of one of tho speakers, who was absent, and profitably entertained the audience with an impromptu speech on "Sabbath day Obser vance." Delegates elected to the County Convention aro L, T. II. Daniel, James Henderson and J. B, Bolt; Alternates, T. B, Anderson, B. Y. Culbertson. Tho matter of selecting time and placo of next session of tho conven tion was loft with executive com mittee, and any church or com munity desiring to have the body meet with them will make appli cation to said committee. Taken all together, wo had tho largest and most harmonious con vention yet held In Waterloo Township. Tho music by tho or ganist, Mrs. L. C. Culbertson, and choir led by Maj. G. W. Culbertson was simply grand and soul-stir ting, The good order observed by the largo crowd in attendance was in deed highly gratifying to the mem bers of tho convention. Tho people of that community, so renowned for their hospitality, vied with each other on that oc casion in welcoming tho crowd, and especially the members of the convention, making them feel at home in their midst. The day will long be remembered by all who were present, and we verily be lieve that the Sunday School work ers present, after hearing the re ports from the various schools and seeing the increased interest man ifested, went back to their respect ive fields of labor with energy re newed, determined to do moro in the year to como than they did in that which is now past, ({od grant that our next meeting may be as pleasant, harmonious and encour aging.

To the Public:?Tho question of equal educational advantages for the sexes has come to be regarded North and South as ono of surpass ing importance, with tho pros and and the cons perhaps about equally divided. Tho timo sqems to have come for a decided expression on the part of the Presbyterian Col lege of South Carolina; und ac cordingly the following plan has been agreed upon by the Faculty, and will be submitted to tho Board at its next meeting for approval. It is well known that that body havo as individuals been hitherto in favor of some such arraugemcnt; and it is in sympathy and accord with them that tho Faculty have come to this conclusion. The plan is as follows:?Under the present charter of tho College tho Board has the right, on certifi cate of tho Faculty that candidates havo complotcd the prescribed course of study in a satisfactory mannncr, to grant the degrees of B. A. and of B. S., and other like degrees. Believing it to bo to the best interests of the community, tho faculty havo decided to recom mend both sexes equally for said degrees, and also to allow to young ladios tho privilego of choosing the same degrcos in the Collegiate In stitute, the course of study in winch will embrace throe years of the College course, making, if they so desire, a substitute of music or of art or of both for certain brandies to bo hereafter specified. The degrees of tho College propei will bo conferred on young ladies equally with young men wiio shall havo completed the prescribed course of study. With this end in view, arrange ments have boon made with Mrs. Young to take young lady boarders only; and she, together with ono of the Professors, (who with his fam ily will reside in the same house) will look after tho interest of tho boarders. It is earnestly hoped that tho above plan will meet tho approval and have the hearty support of t he pub lic. Very respectfully, J. I. Cj.kl.ani>, President. ? Clinton, S. C.

In many instances all this loss may bo saved by the timely use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

Moreover, by taking tills medicine in season, you prevent the Inroads ot disease, keep the l>loo<l pure, ami the system uniformly strong and vigorous. Remember, Prevention is better than cure. Hut how, it may be asked. Is one to know that lie needs this medicine? By various Indications; among them by that tired feeling, by loss of appetite, lack of energy, dull head ache and confusion of memory, pains in the limbs, back, and sides, pimples and eruptions on the face and body, weakness of the eyes, restlessness by night, drowsiness by day, ami frequent depression of spirits. These, though not diseases in themselves, aro symptoms and warnings, which, it not attended to, may result iu diseases of tho most serious nature. Begin at once to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. "For several years. In the Spring months, I used to be troubled with a drowsy, tired feel ing and a dull pain in the small of my back, so bad, at times, as to prevent my being able to walk, the least sudden motion causing mo severe distress. Occasionally, a rash cov ered my body, the skin apparently becoming thickened, accompanied by Intense Itching. Frequently, boils would break out on various parts of the body. By the advice of friends and my family physician, I began the use of Ayer's Barsaparllln ami continued it till tho poison in my system was completely eradi cated."-L.W. English, Montgomery City, Mo.
