The Industrial Kobool Commission,
consisting of Miss Mary Yeargln, of
Laurena, Miss Hannah Homphill, ol
Abbeville, and Prof. D. B. Johnson, or

Laurens last week.
Tho com Mission arrived at Clinton
from Chester late Tuesday P. M. and
while thoro visited tho Thon, well Or

They roached Laurous at elevon

tho aftornoon thoy wore driven over tho
city in company with tho Mayor and re
ception committee and shown tho eligi
ble sitos for tho proposed school. They
woro outertaincd by Mrs. MoCaslan at
tho Female College iti tho evening. II
Laurons never hoars of tho school again,
tho visit of such a trio of pleasant people
will be romombercd with great satisfac
tion. It was especially gratifying to
our pooplo to welcome Miss Yeargln,
whoso worth and distinguished talents
hayo reflected so much honor upon Lor
county. Prot. Johnson, too, was among

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.
Tho two men met in a cotton patch
and Sloan tired upon Holland. Holland
roturned tho flro and both continued
shooting until their pistols woro emp
tied. Then thoy clinched and fought,
hammering each other over tho head
with their pistols and linally tho negro
ran.
Ho died from a wound in tho stomach.
Coronor James P. Sloan hold an Inquest
and the Jury's vordictwas la accordance
with tho facts..
Sunday morning, Mr. Holland oamo
into tho city and surrondorcd himself
to Sheriff Ballow. Ho is now in jail.
What brought on the unfortunate and
fatal fight is not known.

Tho convention then proceeded

The following wero thou elected

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

Ing over fifteen, the other not
under fourteen.
Thorough proficiency iu Arith
metic, Geography, History of the
United States, and a fair knowl
edgei of Grammar are required for
admission into tho college classes,
but ou account of the condition of
tho public schools, the Faculty are
required to establish preparatory
classes for pupils not sufficiently
udvanced, but of required age.
Students will be required to
bring with them two sheets, two
blankets or comforts, six towels
and ono pillow.
All students will bo required to
work two hours each week day,
unloss excused for sickness or
other necessary cause, and com
pensation to be allotted not to ex
ceed eight cents per hour.
Students who perform extra la
bor, not necessarily educational,
shall roceivo compensation accord
ing to faithfulness and quality of
work, not to exieed nine cents per
hour.
A fee for medical attendance, or
hospital fee, shall be charged each
student upon admission, not to ex
ceed five dollars, and no extra
charge shall bo added in any case
of sickness.
Expenses for board shall be act
ual cost of provisions and service,
not to exceed $7 per month; wash
ing fifty conts per month. Books

not to cost moro than $8.00 and
such work clothes as lie may de

Bach stud out shall deposit upon
admission the sum of $24.00 for said
suits.
The first Thursday in February
shall be the beginning of tho col
legiate year, which shall terminate
on the fourth Thursday of Novem
ber.
Tho hoard decided that with tho
work, recroation and diversity of
employment, tho students could
well stand ten months, with tho
six days of regular duties, better
than nine months and five days
undor a different system, and it
would enable tho boys to get a bet
ter advance in four years.
The cost to a poor boy sums up:
For hoard ten months.$ 70 00
For medical attention. 5 00
For washing. 5 00
For uniforms or clothing... 24 00
Total.$101 00
Which he may reduce by his la
bor. To this for hoys of means
must be added a tuition fee of
$10.00.
The college shall have two reg
ular departments: the Agricultu
ral Department and tho Techno
logical or Mechanical Department.
The general purpose of the Board
is to rcquiro the same course of
study for both Agricultural and
Mechanical Departments in Eng
lish, Mathematics, History and Po
litical Economy and Physics. The
courses will begin to diverge in
Chemistry after tho first year's
course. Agricultural Chemistry
will be required only ot students in
tho Agricultural Department, as
will also Biology, Botany,*otc7, with
Horticulture. In the shops, draw
ing and farm mechanics will be re
quired to a degree for students of
both departments, but will bo
greatly enlarged for Mechanical or
Technological students who will
be required to tako an extensive
course in Mechanical and Civil En
gineering.

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,

TO SAVE MONEY
Save Time and Health. Dootors' bills and druggists' prescrip
tions aro heavy drains on the pov.ket, not to mention days,
weeks, and months of enforoed idleness in oase of sickness.
In many instances all this loss may bo saved by the timely use
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine, taken in smaller doses
than would bo required of any other blood-purifier, produces
the most positive results; therefore it is economy to
Use Only
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.
" livory spring for the last nine yean I
have been In the habit of taking Ayer's Sar
saparilla, ami 1 can truly say that I never
used any medicine that did me so much good.
1 am convinced th.it it is
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla gives entire satisfac
tion to my customers. My wife used two
buldcs of It, Which did her more good than
any other medicine. Her sallow face has
become fresh and rosy. I feel assured that
Ayer's Sarsaparilla has completely restored
her health. Our family physician recom
mends Aver's remedies."?Sam'l Stcphcuson,
Pool. \V. Ya.
"For years I was afflicted With dyspep
sia, having very little appetite and being dis
tressed by nearly everything I ate. A drug
gist recommended a trial of Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla, of which I am now taking my fourth
bottle. The medicine helped mo at once,
and has continued to help me. I can recom
mend Ayer's Sarsaparilla as a great remedy
in this distressing complaint."?Charles u.
Maxier, Farinington, Mo.
