Along with William Jennings T> 3 4 11 i) T) i. .. u xsryau anu .tVJion d raraer, nujrstvensky has joiued the great army of "has beens." And now comes Newberry wanting to vote on the question of abolishing its dispensari?s. Newberiy, by the way, is the home county of Mr H II Evans, chairman of the State l>oard of directors. Champion James Jeffries, of fistic fame, has abdicated Ins throne and the empire of pugilism is without a legitimate sovereign. Al1 things considered we are not a candidate to fill the vacancy. About one hundred convicts in the State penitentiary* were poisoned last week by eating cabbage cooked fUo irtuiifntinn Ill IIIC MICI1C11 ui mc iuhuiuhvu. While none of the convict died it seems that wholesale murder was k the intention of the poisoner, who, it is suspected, is one of the convicts. Just what the motive could have been is hard to imagine unless it was just pure "cussedness." Whatever else may be said of th? Russians?and it seems that everyone delights to give them a kiok? they cannot be accused of cowardice. Obedient to the command of his Emperor, Rojestvensky camly and heroically went to defeat and probable death, knowing that he stood no chance against his more powerful adversary.

Mr Tonnme Steele returned homet 1 Friday, after sending several weeks in the "City on the Sampit." Last Saturday a party of about tweiitv-ti\e or thirty from this and , adjoining neighborhoods enjoyed a good old-fashion.*d "fish fry" in the Swamp at McCants' lake. This was a day that was heartily enWed X i by every one piesent and how ^ej<_ could it have been, with plenty of j* tish and lots of other good "rations" |*j and just enough mosquitoes to keep, us from imagining that we were bv ' the sea shore? Our little picnic grounds were beautifully adorned with earth's fairest flowers and their gallant admirers, with just enough "old folks" to keep order. Late in the afternoon we assembled at the ; pleasant home of Mrs L .T Nesmith, ! and enjoyed some nice, cord water , and sweet music. It wt s the good pleasure of the ; writer to attend tae commencement. of the Union Graded school at Rome last Friday. The 'day was an ideal oue.. Soft, fleecy clouds floated lazily high up in a clear, blue sky and nature seemed to smile approval } ? upon the jauspicious occasion. A j Tj large crowd was present to enjoy the I ? hospitality of the good folks of Koine, who seemed to use* every effort to make the day one of pleasure foi i their visitors. The programme was ; an excellent one and nicely carried ! out, as I haven't a copy I cannot give the details. The welcome address bv Furney Hemingway was1 j j & . rich, rare and racy, eliciting loud1 applause and hearty laughter, Furney is a ' funny" bov and said a fun- j uy speech.' jp The most interesting number ofjx the programme was the debate. The I query was, "Is a Man of Thought ^ cf More Benefit to His Countryl Than a Man of Action?" The af-' firniative was represented by Furney Hemingway and Elise Rollins, and the negative by Bessie Snow and' Sadie Waldron. Each of the de-! baters made a good effort and brought! out some strong points, but the! \ k judges decided in favor of the nega- j tive side. j Daisy Brock in ton's ''Essay on i Mail" was heart'ly applauded, but! we think Miss Daisy was too hard j on the poor inoffensive man; her "mamma'' should "chastise" her.1 All of the children did remarkably j u-^11 rpfWtincr credit on their teach ers and the school. After dinner we had the pleasure of listening to a masterly address by _ Hon J E EHerbe, whose subject was ?"* "Country Schools." This is an im- j portant subject and Mr Ellerbe j made a tine speech. When Mr El* j f** lerbe closed, Editor Josiah Doar of Georgetown was introduced as the. next speaker. Mr Doar said he in-1 tended to make a "big sjga.'ch" but Mr Ellerbe had said just what he , might have said, so he would do like, "Pat" did when he was asked to speak once. Pat got up and said: "Faith, and these people must think I can speak or they would , not have asked me and, now rather than disappoint them, I'll keep my ! d u mouth shut." Prof Ken- ; ?. .!? ftiQu m.i/lo .1 f-ilL- mifl the t Uk".l ~ crowd was dismissed. j Ot Whippookwili.. i M Opportunity for a Young Man.
