We regret to learn of a painful acci dent met with by Mr. A. W. Toague, tho son of Mr. A. Wash ToagU0,a promi nent citizen of this county. On Friday afternoon tho young man with other Eurman students was returning to Contral, where they were to take the train, from a game of ball played at Clemson. The wagon broke .down and they were obliged to walk the remain der of tho way. Young Toague, slightly in advance of his companions, fell In tho darkness into a railroad cut, striking his head on a ei'OSStto, and was picked up senseless. He was carried in an unconscious state to Greenville and tho last Intelligence was that he hac! not been restored to consciousness. Since the above went into type wo have favorable news of Mr. Toague. We call to the attention of tho voters in the county the fact that, the new system of "County Government" goes into operation January 1st, 1805. It abolishes the Hoard of County Com missioners and substitutes a "County Supervise." t herefor. The. Supervisor is to be elected at the general election in November. The Supervisor for Luurona gots n salary of six hundred dollars, and gives a bond of live thous and conditioned for the faithful dis charge of his duties. He with a board of township commissioners consisting of three from a township and appointed by the Governor have control of roads, bt'idgos and ferries and all li nanoial affairs of tho county. The Act provides for letting out the working and repairing of roads and bridges by contract and anyone liable to duty can compound by paying two dollars, and reduces the number of days for work to six. These are p -eminent provisions of the Act and we only rogl'Ot that we have not space to givo the Act In full, ft is a most important change in county government and revolutionizes our whole system. Wo call attention to it now that our voters may cast about them for an ofllclont person to exercise the Important ofllce In tho discharge of which till fool a deep interest. Attention, Please.

It's a wrong and a gigantic source of irritation that tho convenience of tho travelling public is not consulted by tho management of this road.

A spring of cool, clear water, bub bling up from among ferns and mosses and nodgod in rough hewn boulders is the sight whioh causes the thousands of persons in King street to pause at the corner of Wentworth. The grotto has a refreshing look these warm, dusty, spring days. It is pretty and suggestive and almost cools one just to look at it. The window display was put in by the Harris Lit bin Water Company, and the water that sparkles and bubbles in the realistic window ?ie turo is the health-giving water directly from the. springs. It is a unique and pretty way to call attention to tho w ator. [n construction tho spring is said to be a reproduction in miniature of the famous Harris Lithia Spring. It was built under the direction of tho propri etor himself. The bit of miniature landscape gardening, however, is unlquo and attractive. In a bed of rich earth are planted the rarest of mountain forns and exotics, including a number of zonales in bloom and other Mowers. The store at the corner of King and Went worth streets has been occupied for several weeks by the Harris Lithia Wator agoncy, and the water can be had here by the glass, quart, gallon, carboy or barrel. \ soda water and milkshake attaohmont will be oponed in connection with the establishment, but tho pieco do resistance, so to speak, will be the supply of the famous Lithia Water, which is so favorably com mended by the medical fraternity.? News & Courier. How to catch a Fowl.?Few per sons know how to secure a fowl to ad vantage Never seize a fowl by the tail, if a line bird, nor touch the back, but grasp both legs at once with a firm, tight, quick hold, and then raise free from the ground or porch and'hang the body down clear of any obstacle. This method does not rullle the plumage or turn a feather, which in a line bird must bo avoided. When tho web of the feathers is once; broken It can never be united again, and where much handled this often occurs, giving to the bird a ragged appearance. It is the source of much annoyance to a nice idean, smooth bird to have the plumage milled. Their bodily cover ing is regarded with the utmost care, und tho luster and beauty of it indicate the health and strength of the fowl.? Kansas Fanner.

Tho womanly side of Quoen Victoria is pictured exceedingly well ?and ap propriately, too, in this month of her seventy-fifth birthday?in an article on "The Womanly Bido of Victoria," which Arthur Warren contributes to the May lssuo of The Ladies' Home Journal. Among the pictures in tho article, thoso showing tho queen at Breakfast and in her pony carriage, are interesting aud now. Frank It. Stockton gives two more of "Pomona V characteristic letters, showing tho heroine of "Rudder Grange" in various adventures in hor quest for a social boom among tho English aristocracy. Mr. Howoll s literary oiography under tho title of "My Literary Passions" holds tho interest surprisingly well. Tho editor questions whether all this clamor about this boiug "woman's century" is wiso. Tho biography of the number consists of skotenos, with portraits of Mrs. Edward Evorott Halo, the wife of tho famous proachor-author, and of Miss Nancy Bailey, the wonder ful woman indoxer of England.

The accession of Lord Rosobory to the premiership of the British empire increases the prestige of tho famous banking house of Rothschild. Lord Rosebery has been identified with the latter ever since, his marriage with Miss Hannah Bothsohild. Sho be queathed to him her vast fortune when she died, but it remains in the hands of tho Rothschild linn. Not a dinner party does he give but that one of tho Rothschilds is present, and Iiis politi cal power and social prestige are in creased a hundredfold by the knowl edge that he bus at his back tho inex haustible resources of the Rothschilds, who control the finances of nearly every continental country. At Paris they have one of their coreligionists und adherents, M. Raynal, who is min ister of tho interior and possessed of the most extensive executive power in Prance. In Italy It is one of their race again, Signer Sonnino, who is minister of the treasury. At Vienna and at Pesth their word is law at the ministry of finance. At Brussels King Leopold does nothing without consulting M. Lambert, the son-in-law and represen tative of Baron Alphonse Rothschild, while in Portugal and Spain the treas ury is bankrupt, and there is no Jew at tho head of affairs.?San Francisco Argonaut.
