Prof. Hand's Lecture.
Prof. W. H. #Hand, professoi
of secondary education in the
University of Soulh Carolina
spent Friday in town. During
the morning he visited theGrad
ed school and in the alternoor
lectured in the court house or
I
the subject of education. II
was a source of regret to the
writer that such an able speaker
as Prof. Hand was honored with
an audience so meagre, especi'
ally when speaking on a subject
of vital importance to our people.
Prot. Hand has gi\en his
entire time and talent to the
work of secondary education
and has attained a high degree
of distinction along this line,
and hence it is well for us to
heed his teaching. He criticized
our school both favorably
and adversely, the most serious
adverse criticism being that in
the two highest grades he/ound
only two boys?a matter of far ?

No Institute at Clemson College.
Editor County Record:
i
Will you please notify the
farmers through the columns of (
your paper that the board of !
trustees of the Clemson Agricul- i
tural College will be forced to 1
suspend the Farmers' Institute ,
at Clemson College this summer (
because of the preparation they .
are making to admit two hundred
more students to the benefits
of the institution? The dormitories
will be placed in the ^
hands of the contractors to be
remodeled and arranged for the
admission of these extra students,
and it will be impossible,
therefore, for them to be put in
shape for the accommodation of
our visitors during the Farmers'
Institute.
Our institute work through t
the State will be considerably
onl<irirorl an<1 through
VUIUI^\.u uuu O? I
the year so that the benefits of
the work will be jjiven to the
people wherever desired. With ^
the use of the cars, placed at
our disposal by the Southern
Railway Company, we can do
very much more work for the (
benefit of the farmers than we J
were able to do in the past.
Very truly yours,
P. H. Mell,
President.

HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE |
MONDAY NIGHT.
Monday uight, between eight
and nine o'clock, the alarm of
fire was given and it was found - ;
that Mr Meyer's bakery in the rear
of Scott & Miller's market on
East Main street, was burning.
The fire department and bucket
brigade responded with commendable
alacrity and it was dne
to the energetic and intelligent
work done that the fire was confined
to the three wooden building
between P S Courtney's and
G Ollie Epps' stores. At one
time it looked as if Mr Courtney's
store was doomed, as the flames . \
leaped upon the side of the
building the height of the walls
and-over on the roof. Had this
store burned there- is little
doubt that the town wc^uld have
suffered a disastrous conflagration.
As it was the fire quickly
spread to the wooden restaurant
next to the market, occupied by
Phil Fulton, colored, and swept
it out of existence in short order;
then the nearby cottage of
Mollie Epps caught and this,
too, was soon reduced to ashes.
Mr Oilie Epps' brick store,
next to Miss Epps' cottage, was
saved by heroic effort, the outside
steps and platform being
burned and most of the window ,
glass on the side next to the ;
fire shattered. The two wooden,
stores were owned by Mr R H ,' ^
Kellahan. Most of the contents
of the three buildings destroyed
were saved. 4 .*v.
The value of the burned buildings
is estimated at about $1,500
or $1,600, and Mr. Myer's oven 'fF
and utensils and supplies foot
up to $700 or $800. All this is a W
total loss, as we learn that the ~
owners of the property carrie^|p, ^
no insurance. y"~'
