The Charleston Evening Post is using its efforts to induce the authorities of the College of Charleston to bring their insti tution more before the public and thereby enable the old col lege to do much greater work than it is now doing. Many colleges, which have not half the endowment that the College of Charleston has, are much better known to the outside world and all because they are not afraid to make known abroad the attractions and ad vantages which they have to offer. The vast majority of the people of South Carolina know extremely littie about the Col lege of Charleston and very many probably do not even know that Charleston has a college. The old institution is abundantly able to advertise it self, and if it would make half the effort and spend half the mofay in advertising that Fur man and Wofford and other col leges do. the number of students which would flock, to its halls for admission in a year or two, w.uld be surprising. It is a pity that an institution, which is so well equipped and endow- ed, should not be the means of doing more good, simply for the want of a little effort. The city of Charlestpn is now branching out in different ways, and. g de termined effort to build up the College of Charleston, would re sult in much good to Charleston and the rest of the State as well. The press is always ready to aid a good enterprise—and is more than willing to co operate with the faculty of the old col lege in the task of making it a grand institution, worthy of the city in which it is situated. The State Fair at Columbia liifet week .was a decided success financially and otherwise. Never before have so many peo pie attended a State Fair in South Carolina, and the receipts were so large that the Agri cultural Society has been en abled to liquidate all its debte and still have money in the treasury. The people of Colum bia had no idea that the city would be so overwhelmed with visitors, and, consequently, the accommodations which had been provided were inadequate. Many could not find places to sleep and were compelled to do the beet they could out of doors. There will, doubtless, be no fur ther trouble as to railroad rates in the future. They are now thoroughly convinced that the cheap rates made the Fair a great success and brought an immense amount of money into their treasuries. THE CANTINI CASE DECIDED. Opinions of Judges Br&wiey and I i monton Upheld. The loi mw standing appeal of Charles V. Swan, R. Bayne Pepper end Charles B.

Norment. The history of the company was given, from the time they figur ed so prominently in the late war, to the present, and the pictures of Captain Thompson and the other officers and the drummer, Henry Brown, added much to the interest of the article The Darlington Guards were the first company in the State to tender their services to Gov ernor Pickens at the breaking out of the war, and, for such promptness,. and the distin- guiahed services which they afterwards rendered, deserve the greatest consideration at the hands of our people. Capt. F. F. Warley, who commanded the company at that time, was al ways conspicuous during the war for gallantry, and his mem ory will loiig be cherished by the old members of the Guards and their families and friends. The State is continually tear ing its hair because some of its cotemporaries, insist that the silver issue is dead. The State need not worry itself—the sil ver issue is not dead* but the campaign of 1900 Hi going to be conducted on different lines. Senator Butler, of North Caro lina, will have more to say then because he has become disgusted at the humiliating spectacle of seeing hi* party swallowed whole by the democ racy. If the State whoops (ip free silver, therefore, as the great issue of the campaign, it will have to go over to the pop ulists bag and baggage. The populists are not going to con tinue to stand quietly by and al low the democrats to steal their thunder. That cantankerous silvante. The State, must have been as tounded and sorely puzzled when it saw Columbia overrun during Fair week with thou sands upon thousands of peo ple who were supposed to be op pressed and without money on account of the gold Standard 23000 people,according the toThe State’s estimate, were on the grounds Thursday, and yet we are all in the grasp of the money power. People who go away from home for pleasure are not suppo* ed to be suffering, generally speaking, and it is pleasant to know that there are some thousands of people in South Carolina yet who are able to enjoy themselves in spite of the gold standard. A number of colored physi clans met in Columbia during Fair week and organised the Association of Colored Physi cians of South Carolina. About twenty doctors were present. BRYAN'S MAJORITY. He Gets Three to McKinley's One—A Remarkable Family. Wolcott, N. Y., Nov. 11.— To the thousands of summer visitors who annually visit the many popular resorts about Grand Sod us Bay no one is bet ter known than boatman and guide John Newport, the head and political boss of the local negro colony of nearly a hund red souls. Newport and his comely wife are the happy par ents of nine children, the pro dnet of only three separate births. In childhood the two were slaves in Virginia, coming toSodus Point soon after em ancipation. Eighteen years ago they married, and six years thereafter George Washington and Robert E. Lee Newport were born. After another inter- val of six years James A. Gar field, Chester A. Arthur and Ulysses S. Grant Newport fol lowed, and now, after the ex piration of another six years, quadruplets have arrived, being ushered into this world on the Tuesday proceeding election. Mr. Newport was for years a stanch republican, controlling the votes of four-fifths of his colored brethren, but in 1892 he voted for Cleveland, and again this year for Bryan. Mrs. New- rt, Yiowever, remains true to early political faith, so to please her one of the new corn- era has bean named Me&inley, while his throe brothers Were called William, Jennings and Bryan respectively. They are ret and healthy looking little ninnies, weighing at the •ga of ahoot a fortnight a trifle over six pounds apiece. County News continued from \ at page- H'GH HILL. There will be preaching at High Hill every Sunday after next Sunday. We were glad to have Miss Hattie Hill, of Elliotts, with us Saturday and Sunday, also Mr. Sam Gray and sister, of Doves ville, Miss Georgie Scar borough, of Darlington, Mr. E. L. Gray and wife, of Lamar, and Mr. C. W. Hill and wife, of Clark’s cross roads. The school opened at this 8 1m;e to-day (Monday) with iiss Maud Thomas, of Union county, as teacher. Some of our young men have already found the way to her boarding place and say they are favorably im pressed. We hope she will feel at home in our midst. Last iv was Mission ill and it was a Saturda; Day at High Hi! success in every respect. A ▼cry nice dinner was enjoyed by : all present. We had two very able addresses by the Rev. W. W. Willis and one by the Rev. Mr. Sanders, of Florence. Our contributions were between fifteen and twenty dollars. HARTSVILLE. Mr. Willie McCall, of Center Hall, entered the High School on Tuesday. We are having' some cold nights and heavy frosts and photato digging is in order. Those of our citizens who at tended the State Fair last week report a very pleasant trip. Cotton has taken a fall and somebody wants to kill the man who predicted that it would rise in case of the election of McKinley. Now is the time when the in destructible fly gets in his best work, and the poor bald-headed man wants to get off in some dark place and Keep quiet. A protracted meeting has been going on at the Baptist church since Friday. The meet ings are being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Oliver of Wilmington. Mr. Oliver is a very fine preach er and it iS hoped that nis ef forts will be crowned with great success. JASPER. Mt. Willie Redick, of Rack ersvllle, took one of our girls to ride last Sunday. A large number of our young people attended Missionary Day at High Hill last Saturday. On the first Sunday in Dec. Rev. Mr. Peele will preach a sermon especially to the young folks at Lake Swamp. We hope they will all turn out and hear him. The oyster supper at the resi dence of Mrs. E. Vaughan, on Friday night, though slimly at tended, was quite a success There were not as many present as were expected, on account, we suppose,of the cold weather The receipts ot the evening. $25.00, are for the benefit of Lake Swamp church. PALMETTO. A good many of our farmers are through planting their Fall oats. Mr. Arthur Humphries left last Monday for a visit to Wil liamsburg county. Miss Linnie Outlaw, of Dari ington, paid Mrs. Nina Jeffordsa visit last Saturday and Sunday. Messrs. Willie Rogers and Witherspoon Jeffords, of this section, attended the State Fair last week. L t: The Proteetant Methodist Church In Conference et Lamer. Mr. Editor: The annual conference of the Protestant Methodist Church convened at St. John’s near Lamar, last Thursday, Nor. 12 The meeting was well attended by ministeTs and laymen. It was a very harmonious meeting, ’ and much business was transacted. Rev. C. Me- Smith - presided. On last Sun day St John’s Church was sol emnly dedicated for the service of God in the presence of a large congregation. Sunday night the funeral sermon was preach ed on the death of Mr. Dnnn’s daughter and granddaughter. At the election of officers for the ensuing year Rev. Mitchel Dunn was elected President. Our mutual friend. Rev. John D. Stokes, has been returned to the Darlington circuit. His re- C t of his charge is one of the t that was made. Mr. Johnnie Anderson has been sent to Snmter as a supply Rev. T. C. Battle preached an able sermon for the M. E. church at Lamar. Resolutions of thanxs were passed for the kindness and hos pitality of the Lamar people who entertained the preachers and laymen of the Conference. Laykah. Smoke Dram Cigarette.

Among the military compan ies that attracted especial atten tion were the State champions, the Darlington Guards, in com- manu of Capt. Henry T. Thomp- t son. The Guards were out in strong force, and the military precision of their movements, the splendid step and bearing of the men, theii general style and get-up, were generally admired, and deservedly so. The Guards have just purchased very hand some new uniforms of the finest make and finish, and tney most worthily wear their honors in every respect. Their new uni form is coat of dark blue broad cloth, trimmed with gold lace, light blue trousers, with stripe of white broadcloth on sides.

The books of the United States treasury still carry an jtem of $1,- 000,000 which represents United States notes which are supposed to have been consumed in the great Chicago fire 25 years ago, says a cor respondent of the New York Son. It is known that there was $1,000,- 000 of oorrenoy more or less in the vaults of the subtreasury then and that none of it was recovered, but the denominations of those notes and the exact amount are unknown, as the books of the cashier were con sumed also. There oould not have been, bow. ever, very many dollars less or very many dollars more than $1,000,000, and it would simplify the acoounts of the treasury and save a great deal of labor to the bookkeepers if con gress should pass a hill or resolution recognizing the foot that this mon ey is no longer in existence, for ev ery day when the cashier of the treasury balances bis accounts be has to include this item, deducting it, or adding it as the case may he, from the amount in hand. It appears upon every daily, weekly, monthly and yearly statement of the assets and liabilities of the government as “unknown destroyed United States notes, $1,000,000.” In connty Donegal, Ireland, a jet of water which shoots from a cliff is called “McSwiney’s gun.” NOTICE. B y order o* the county board os commissioners I am instructed to say that unless changes are made in the law by the next Legislature, there will be no extention of time for the collection of commutation or road tax for the fiscal year 1897, which will commence Jan uary 1st next, as there will be no law or ekefise for so doing The road tax pan be paid to the Treasurer from now until D< e. 31st, 1896; and not later, as . he county or township commission ers will have no authority to allow the Treasurer or any other person to collect said taxes after that date. The com mutation tax will be one dollar for the year 1897, or work on the roads and bridges four days during the year, as directed by the Township commissioners. Three days work will be re S ited of each person during e soring and summer and one day later on. All able bodied male persons and all male per sons able to perform or cause to be performed the work re quired between the ages of eighteen and fifty years, ex cept ministers of the gospel who are actually in charge of con gregations and all Confederate soldier and persons permanent ly disabled in the military ser vices of the State, are liable to road duty. The County Super visor has no authority to ex empt or excuse persons from road duty. Certificates from doctors do not exempt or excuse persons from road duty. \ This fiscal year has been changed from Nov. 1st to Jan. 1st. Claims will be received and placed in the present fiscal year against the county until Dec. 31st, 1896. After that date all claims presented wilrgo into the next fiscal year, or the fiscal year 1897. As will be seen the present fiscal year will have fourteen months instead of twelve and no spe cial appropriations for it. From experience, it is known that work done on the roads during the Winter months is not profi table and the Township com missioners are instructed to do only such work as is necessary to fix the roads so that the traveling public will not be or placed in any dan- traveling the roads.
