EDITOR : Fine seasons of rain have fallen in No. 0, and farmers are ,e- still more cheerful and elated with pros ne pect of good crops. Harvesting and - threshing of small grain is over. The 1g yield was not what was expected, but no the quality of the grain is superior. or Corn and cotton were we think never more promising. Much corn is in full vn silk and tassel, and some fields of cotton rare fast becoming white with blooms. Ith Corn is twvo or three weeks earlier than m-l usual, and in many places a full June to crop of cotton will be made. The cotton d: market will certainly open early this e; year. Large crops of sweet potatoes )r have been planted, and the early va H. rieties will soon be fit for the table. The Y- watermelon crop is fine and early, will be ripening by the 4th of July. vn Mr. James Burton has on his Scott ~n- place, a hundred acres of fine cotton, of and thirty-five acres of corn-cultivated x. with four mules and wages hands, and n- superintended by the energetic Mr. Mike n't Werts, Jr. Mr. James Workman has le fifty acres of excellent corn which we ne. think will yield him twelve or sixteen ad- bushels per acre. r- Mr. Yancy Floyd has a goodl crop his of both corn and cotton. Mr. J. S. Floyd threshed about S00 we bushels of small grain. mng Mr. J. S. Floyd and family expect t ere leave home the 15th of July, on a camp nd ing tour for WVest Springs, the great for Grange encampment, and Mt.

The rains have been glorious and the rops are simply good. We have never cen better. With continued seasons or six weeks, the farmers will have re ,ained what was lost last season. Everybody is drinking water from rosperity's mineral well. Persons vho have been to Glenn Springs say that here is a remarkable similarity between he two waters, both in taste and effect. iome of the water was sent on Monday ,o the State chemist for analysis. As oon as we get this analysis we will be >repared togive you something tangible, tnd the history of the well. "Rally around your flag, boys, Rally once again." But, boys, Fairchild & Co. say that ,ou must not "rally around" any more. 'hey say that you must not even look pon the old shell tattered, ball riddled, ,nd blood stained thing, much less ever hink of handling the fond old banners hat we were once so proud to "rally ,round." No, boys, you must not even ,llow the thought of such things to enter -our unreconstructed minds. It is trea on, high treason in low places, to even hink of "rallying," so says Fairchild & ,o., and if you should ever be guilty of o honorable a crime against such a pure, mmaculate and magnanimous firm as hat of Fairchild & Co., you are liable o become a paralytic ,through invoca ions of that beautiful child, that lovely hild, un-Fair-child. Boys, I am per ectly willing for those chaps up there o keep the old flags right in the attics f the war department where they are. tell you they purchased those old per orated Confederate flags at a tremen ous cost. Remember, they cost those ellows about $3,000,u00,000, and nearly L,000.000 lives, besides an incalculable tmount of the hardest work that boys >r men ever undertook. I am proud hat we had an article so valuable and ighly prized. Yes, let the firm keep hem if they want them. I don't mean :o give them any that they have not got. We have an old battle flag down South ;hat those fellows, somehow or other, lidn't get, and I don't want them to aave it. It is the old battle flag of the 3rd S. C. Reg'r, Vol. It is all tattered ad torn, but I love that old flag. We rallied roundl that old flag once at New berry, in 1878, and I would just love to "rally around it once again" under the same circumstances. Some who then rallied around the glorious old folds will rally with us no more. ,But hush! Fair hild & Co. might hear us, and send a detachment from the G. A. R. to capture the dear old flag, and then we would have to rally sure enough. Keep the flags, but give us peace. The exercises of Prosperity high school, w hich have recently closed, were of avery interesting and satisfactory character. Our people are proud of this institution in our midst, which is raised to the standard of the fondest anticipations of its founders. Though youthful in its ex istence, it has already sent forth a num ber of young persons who are now filling varied positions in life with honor and distinction. The standard of the school is high. Parents desirous of giving their sons. and daughters a thorough academic education wil .find this insti tution exactly what they wish. If they want to prepare them for a collegiate course, this is the place for a thorough preparation. The many advantages which this institution has over similar ones is shown by the number of students in attendance during the past year. The roll foots up 100. This we believe, is the largest school (white) of any kind in Newberry County. The institu tion is most happily situated in many respects. It is a "dry" town in the strictcst sense of the word. There are four branches of the Chris tian church here, viz: Lutheran, A. R. Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist, and the citizens are all religious and moral. There is only one young man in town who dhoes not belong to some branch of tihe Christian church, and we may, with propriety, add that lie is strictly moral. The town is noted for its health, pure water and cheap board. In a word, all things considered, it is the place of all places for a parent to send son or daughter to school. Prof. Schieetz and Miss Carrie Aull have both accepted the positions to which they have been elected, which in sures a brilliant career of usefulness for the institution. Prof. A. S. Scheetz, M. E., was born in Buck's County, Penn., 1851, and gracuamted with distinction and honor in the Pennsylvania State Nor. mal School in the class of 1877. lie is of German parentage. He taught two years before graduating, and since then he has made teaching a profession, and now has thirteen years' expericee in his chosen vocation. Prof. Scheetz is a gentleman of culture, a fluent and chiaste writer, genial manners, enlarged views and an acceptable teacher. He is alsc an active worker in the Y. M. C.

Dear boys, we are proud of the trophies You have won by your noble powers But prouder than all is the honor, We feel at calling you ours. Deem not that your work is finish'd, When you leave those Classic Walls The tall rine unsupported, To earth despairingly falls. Go forth to the field of duty, To the work that 's assign'd to you; And, boys, whatever your station, Be honest, be brace, be true. Don't lie in the tent, inactive, When the banner is unfurl'd ; The room for a drone 's too narrow In a lice and busy world Nor think that the world 's indebted For the things she's ne'er received: She owes no mortal apension, Save those who've something achieved. There's hope in the man that labors, That never a duty shuns ; The man that stands by the anvil, Will stand by the crowded guns. Don't think that the learn'd professions C Are the only place for you : There's work in the humble vineyard For the tender hands to do. The're high, resplendent distinctions, And prizes, whichfew can win: ] We can't all govern the WHITE HOUSE, But we all can be useful men. Full many an unfeed lawyer, And others in hopeless strife, Have found too late the blunder They made in a calling for life. 'Tis for you to lift the shadows, That darken our sunny plains, And to make once more Old Southland The mother of RHETTS and HAYNES. To build up the barren places, And brighten the palace and hd; To rescue the State, misguided, And lead her out of the rut. The're errors to be corrected There are truths to shield from harm ; The're popular ways and fancies, That stand in need of reform. Though oft in a "fair condition," The man untutor'd we find, Commerce is mainly indebted To the wise, enlighten'd mind. 0 The soil has ever enjoy'd The care and thought of the grezt; Thrice Cincinnatus abandon'd The plow, to govern the State. Where the desert blooms as the garden, And the fields with plenty smile, Where the bleak hills are as fertile, As the regions of the Nile; Where the methods best are noted, And the largest yields are found ; Where brains, and not guano, Are the forces of-the ground. 'Tis there that the College Students, The Alumni of the past, With courage and strength and wisdom, Their thriving fortunes have cast. They are calmly and quietly resting Beneath their own peaceful vine, And the evening paths grow brighter, Ard shine with a light divine. Yes, boys, we're proud of the honors That have been conferr'd on you ;] And we have high hopes of your future And the work that you will do. We know that for home and country, You'll rise in your matchless might,. And scorning the dastard oppressor, Y ou'll stand or falfor the right ; That you'll stand by the old tra'di.tions, Aud never from truth depart; Hold firm to the sacred doctrines, So dear to the Southern heart; That the bill of rights you'll cherish, Which our gallantfAther's plann'd And swear that the ANGLO-SAXON SHALL RULE FOREVER THE LAND !

The wild phantoms. and shrieking cries of a worthless humbug can make money by imposing upon the credulity and ignorance of an honest public, and the supply of this species of work-seems more than an adequate demand. The enunciation of facts-facts that have stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain force and tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudable enterprises ; but the execrable practice of teaching false ideas and doctrines for self-aggrandizement is truly reprehensible and should be scorned by all classes. When one house tells you that Iodide of Potash is a poison simply because their opponents use it, and because they are pandering to your ignorance, as they suppose, you should look upon all such as arrant frauds and their remedies as un worthy public confidence, and if those who make such assertions do not know better, they are a set of unenvrable ig noram uses. Doctors and Hot Springs. Hot Springs failed entirely to cure me of several terrible, indolent running ul cers in my legs, with which I have been troubled for many years. Several doe tors also attempted to cure me but failed. I have used only a few bottles of B. B. B. (made at Atlanai Ga.,) and the effect has been truly magica'l, as they have all healed and I am cured. It is worth all medicires made for purifying the blood. This wonderfully quick cure has been effected after ev'erything else had failed. Your medicine is a daisy, and has done the business for me. I have lived here twenty-five years. My general health is also improving, appetite and digestion good. I sleep soundly. and never felt better. Doctors told me that I could not be cured, but B. B. B. has cured me. It is decidedly the quickest, best and Icheapest blood purifier I ever used. It is ahead of all others. As to my case and its cure I refer to every merchant or professional man of Pine Bluff. A. H. MORRIs, Cotton Buyer. Pine Bluff, Ark., May 12th, 1886. Cancerous Ulcers Cured. I have been taking Botanic Blood Blm (B. B.
