Tho Laurens Mill School Building is now nearing completion. It is one of the most tasteful school buildings in this part of South Carolina. The building is of wood with briok veneer. As it is for the most part only one story high, this construction Is both oramental and substantial. There are six school rooms on the first lloor, each with its large oloak room. Wide halls run through the building at right angeles. The walls of all the rooms are equipped with tho best black-board surface. On the second lloor are the lavatory and the superintendent's office. At tho rear or eastern end of the building is the auditorium with a seat ing capacity of 400. It has a stage which will be fitted with a drop cur tain. The whole building will be lighted with electricity and heated from a hot air furnace. The auditorium will be the best for lectures and plays In the city. Tho building fronts on Hohnes street. The building Is erected by the Com pany and the Company will maintain the school.

Thoso are the candidates: Augustus Huff, Thaddeus H. Nelson, and the "B'hoys of de SIxt" will be happy with either. OASTORXA. Bsara the Ito Kind You Haw Always Bought SHOULD NOT DISCRIMINATE* Man's Business Should Not Count Against Him as a Candidate. Gross Hill, Feb. 8.?I believe it is in order to suggest men to represent us in tbe legislature. I have no sympathy for this ory for farmers in preference to men of other profession!. Nor do I think it necessary that they come from different sec tons of tbe county. Is he capable? is he honest? should be the test. Our professional men are all in terested in farming; some of them own large farms. This cry to discriminate in favor of farmers is calculated to de ter some of our best men from offering for oflloe, and is calculated to encour age gome to run who If elected would be a disappointment to themselves and to the people. I may suggest some names later. W. T. Austin. IT 18 A GOOD BILL. Correspondent Favors the Clemson Scholarship Measure?Carroll News.
