(apt. Fraak Nesnltb Writes About!
Soatlvest Georfia.
The following letter, while a
personal communication, will no
doubt be of interest to the writer's
many friends in Williams* i
burg; hence we take the liberty
of printing it:
Hon C W Wolfe,
Kingstree, S. C.
Dear Friend:
I have been thinking for some
time of writing you a letter and
telling you how well I am pleased
with southwest Georgia, but ,
lack of time has so far debarred
my doing so, and I have not
time to write you at length today,
so am sending you by today's
mail a copy of the Albany
Herald and on the third page
you will find a sketch of Elmodel ,
by Mr E L Parker, a native of (
Florence county, S C. Mr Par
? i ?i-i! xr:
Kcr lias rciduvcs iu n.iugaucc ,
and about Lake City also. I have <
met him once since I have been j
in Georgia and he told me all i
about his relatives in Florence
and Williamsburg-, and enquired
after a good many of the citi- j
xens of Kingstree and surround- j
ing country. Mr McRainey, the ^
subject of Mr Parker's sketch is t
the gentlemen I am workiugfor,
and he and I are getting along t
very nicely together indeed. He ^
?aejBe here several years agol
from North Carolina and worked
*foT wages awhile, then he went I
i into the turpentine business, and 11
has been very successful in all |
of bis business transactions, j
which accounts for his posses- ^
sions of today. The' Herald did ,
not come near doing justice in
the cut of Mr Rainey's tine Jresi- c
dence which he is just completing
neither in the surroundings, so
U-ar as looks are concerned. This ^
'article will tell you better and ,
more about the surroundings (^
than lean. I am so well pleas-j
ed that I am strongly in the1 ^
notion of making this my perma- j
nent home. Farmers are very, ,
much behind in their farm work,
on account of very heavy rains,.
we have been having, and a w
I h
great part of their lands are too ,
wet to plow now. j
Hoping you will have health,
happiness and prosperity, I beg <
-IV J V.?M J
You sincere friend, j
F M Xesmith.

Some Good Schools(By
W H Hand.)
Manning has $790,000 of taxable
property. The school district has
recently voted $30,000 in bonds te
erect a new school building. The
district is now levying a local school
tax of 4 mills to meet the increased
cost of the school. By the way,
Manning has one of the cleanest
snlinnl nvnnn/]j I Kara caan unH

principal told me that he had had
fewer than sik tardy pupils from the
town thia year.
Kingstree is just completing a
>13,000 annex to her new school
building, making the entire building
worth $25,000. The town has
but $500,000 of taxable property,
and levies a 4-mill local school tax.
Only a few weeks ago Florence
moved into her new school building
which Costs $52,000. This is one
;>f the most Complete school buildings
in the State, indeed in the
whole country. Florence has but
>1,752,000 of taxable property, and
levies a local school tax of 6 mills.
Here, too, the schools have almost
jo tardv pupils.
Darlington has not long been in
ler new $25,000 school building.
Her taxable property accounts to
>1,330,000, and her local school
ax is 4 1-2 mills.
Sumter has just moved into her
v _i _.i t l:^l
nirascaooi ouuuiug, wmuu twi
>25,000. This uew building is
veil constructed throughout and
nay well be called a model. It
combines comfort, convenience, and
>eauty. Sumter levies a 5-mill loal
school tax.
All this looks like progress, and
t is progress. Yet I'm compelled
o say that in these and other places
imilarly- situated, the high school
lepartmeuts are not in keeping with
he general educational stauding.
Primarily from a lack of teaching
orce the high school course is too
hort and too narrow. None of the
daces mentioned here has a four
-ear high sch >ol course. Sumter
iud Darlin gton each has nearly as
uany bcy3 as girls iu the high
ohnol Th?- others have a small
K'rcentage of boys. I visited oue
ichool a few days ago where theie
ire 5*> high school girls and but 10
ligh schoolboys. Until our schools
>ffer more courses of study they are
lot going to liold tlie boys as they
should. However, everywhere
:hroughout the State the attitude of
ihe people toward the high school is
rapidly improving.
Hot Springs, Ark.,
is no competition against Lippman's
Great Remedy for cure of Rheumatism.
James Newton, Aberdeen, Ohio,
says P P P did him more good than
three months treatment at Hot
Springs, Ark.
W T Timmons of Waxahatehie,
Tex., says his rheumatism was so
bad that he was confined to his bed
for months. Physiciaus advised
Hot Springs, Ark., and Mineral
Wells, Texas, at which places he
spent several weeks in vaiu, with
both knees so badly swollen that his
tortures were beyond endurance. P
P P made the cure and proved itself
as in thousands of other cases,
the best blood purifirer in the world,
and superior to all Sarsaparillas and
the so-called Rheumatic Springs.

A president of the United
States will be elected this year.
Who is he and who is the man
whom he will beat? Nobody
yet knows, but the Thrice-a
Week World will tell you every
step and every detail of# what
promises to be a campaign of
the most absorbing interest. It j
may not tell you what you hope
but it will tell you what is. The
Thrice-a-Week World long ago
established a character for im- :
partiality and fe. rlessness in t
the publicacion of news, and
this it will maintain. If you i
want the news as it really is *
subscribe to the Thrice-a-Week (
edition of the New York World, ,
which comes to von every other i
day,Except Sunday, and is thus S
practically a daily at the price 8
of a weekly.
The Tbnce-a-Week World's *
regular subscription price is j
only $1.00 per year, and this ?
pays for 159 papers. We ofer *
this unequalled newspaper and J
The County Record together g
for one year for $1.75. ?
The regular subscription price t
of the two papers is $2.00. 8

To those who do not care to i

offering a strictly high grade J
meal in exchange. Our rate of f
exchange at the miM is 1600 lbs.
of meal for one ton of seed. It f
is a conceded fact cotton ^
seed meal is a cheaper and ?
more effecthe fertilizer than [
cotton seed. According to 6

of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical >
condition of meal, it is safe to j
assume that 800 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton ^
of cotton seed, therefore, what- <
ever excess above 800 pounds of s
meal the farmer gets in exchange J
for a ton of seed is so much clear s
profit to him in comparison with
using the ton of seed directly as i
a fertilizer. You can readily see s
that by exchanging your seed (
with us you realize nearly 100 <
per cent on the transaction.
Bring your seed to us'and not
make the mistake of getting ^
inferior meal elsewhere in ex- j
change. !

VERY QUEER PEWS.
RmuMna Od^tiM if f*(t ? Arvoiant
nf(i*h CHurohaa
Some pews in the fine < id church
it Ma 1dm. Cheshire. Dossess a moat
r , ' 4
miming peculiarity. Each one con-1
lists of several seats, which are realy,
though not apparently, detached,
and they look easy and comfortable.
In this case appearances
ire deceitful, for should one occupant
of any one seat lean forward
vhile "nidnid nodding" over he
joes on the floor. The seat is so
constructed as to easily tip over
rhen any weight is placed on its
?uter or front edge and was so deigned
to prevent people from going
:o sleep in church.
We still find in a few of our anient
churches the high pews, luxurious
cushions and curious fittings
>f former days.
In the good old times, when the
iquire was lord of all he surveyed
n the village, bis pew in the parish
rhurch was often a kind of sitting
own. une sucn pew uwupiea
rbole of the sonth transept of tho
liminutive church at Gatton, ia
Surrey. It has a fireplace, a low
eat which eztenda arouifcl two sidea
>f the room and blue tapestry decration.
Above it is another floor,
in which are three or four ordinary
HJW3 for the use of the squire s
ervanta, and from it a covered way
eads to Gatton Ball, some few i
ards away. There may be some
ruth in the story that a former
^uire used to enjoy a pipe by the
[replace during the sermon and
hat if he became weary he would
p* ant through the private door for
i short stroll in the churchyard.
A similar pew exists m a church
t Colwicb, Staffordshire. It has a
tai*?ase leading to a private door,
ind it is said that the postman
ame this way ?o convey letters and
hat the servant brought in cake
nd wine for consumption during
he service.
The royal pew of St. George's

t is the largest of its kind in Engand
and on account of its being sittated
above the choirr down upon
rhich the queen can see the service
rom a fine oriel window.
In little Benjamin church, Noroik,
is a pew for strangers and wedling
parties. It was constructed by
, shepherd and bears a cheerful,
uggestive piece of ornamentation
n the shape of the carving of a
keleton, with the following inscripion:
^or ronpie-w joined In wedlock; and my
Friend

Crisbee,

Inno Domini 1640.
A game of whist played in a pew
eould nowadays cause considerable
;omment, yet it seexnsM^iat theiquare
pews at Trowbridge were
lsed for this purpose at the time
he "poet" Crabbe was droning
iway in the pulpit.
Other interesting old pews hare
lames and occasionally coats of
irms painted on them thus:
" 'The Rectory Pew,' 'The
Churching Pew' and, best of all,
The Hall Dog's Pew.'"
T?rmy?on't Humor.
There was a playful humor in
Lord Tennyson that rarely showed
tself unless the poet was within the
familiar circle of his friends. John
Blackwood, a member of the famous
irm of publishers, gave an amusing
nstance of this in one of his let;ers:
The Rev. James White, rector of
i neighboring parish, and Tennyson
were chaffing each other, as
:heir custom was, .concerning the
nerits of their respective houses.
"I bfelieve part of Bonchurch beongs
to you," remarked the poet.
"The whole of it," said White.
"You mean," retorted Tennyson,
'the hole you live in."
And the Rev. James White was :
