He is strong both mentally and physically, and few can be found to do as much hard work as he.

STOKES’ BRIDGE. —The mass meeting held in the interest of Hebron Academy was a grand success.

Efforts are being made to make this supper one of the nicest of its kind, both for cocial entertainment and for delicious edibles. —Hebron Academy opened on Monday, November 2. with a full school, and the number was greatly augmented last week. All are delighted with the teach ers. The principal has already made many friends by his genial nature and friendly spirit and he produced a fine impression on the minds of the people by his address at the mass meeting on Monday evening of last week on the subject, “Does it pay to educate;-”’ He handled ject as a master and his remarks would have done honor to a man of riper years. •-•*- —• • - ASHLAND. —Mr. Howard has a vocal class at Savanna Chapel. —Some of our transient citi zens are already making ar rangements for another year. —Several of our citizens have just returned from Columbia, where they have been attending the State Fair. —To raise our own molasses seems to be gaining popularity Tho Celebrrted Grange Cases. Darlington County’s Grange cases having become causes eelebres, a brief history of them would doubtless be interesting to many of our readers at this time. The Grangesjwere organ ized in this County in the year i8,vl, and each of them traded with F. Wagoner & Co., of j liarlcston, on its own account. In 1884, Mr. Jos. N. Parrott con- eived the idea of having them til “join forces” and trade to gether, as he thought that buy ing the goods in larger bulk j they would be able to get them j at a lower rate. Accordingly, j he opened negotiations with | Messrs. Wagoner & Co., as a | result of which all of the Gran ges began trading together with the latter through Mr. Parrott. 1 To facilitate business, they all drew notes payable to Mr. Par rott, who endorsed them to | Wagener to secure the account which the latter had opened with him for the purpose of furnish ing the Granges with supplies. All of these accounts. Mr. Par- ’ rott kept in his own name. He undertook further to keep the account with each individual ; member of the Grange By the (understanding had with Wage- ! ner, the Granges were allowed 1 to draw in cash not more than i one-fifth of what was to he allowed each man. Mr. Par- | rott drew that money for the individual members, but hekept no cash account showing its | distribution to them. The indi vidual accounts of some of them show that he paid cash to them, liia siiK though this does not account ms suu- for aU tho m 0 n e y that he received from Wagener. Mr. Parrott says that the a- inount unaccounted for on the books was expended by him in paying for other goods purchas ed by the individual members from local merchants in Dar lington. He kept no account of tho supplies taken by him out of tho general lot furnished by Wagener for the purpose of con ducting his own plantation. He | said on the stand that ho had estimated in a general way that j the amount he needed for this (purpose was about $1,500, and | lie thinks he took about that WHOLE NO. 878- rendition of music of the highest berg, and is now busy arrang ing there a beautiful line of groceries, fruits, crokery, etc. Franco-American game pates trutiled, assorted; West & H.
