Superintendent of Education McCullough
informs us that he has received
advices from Clemson College
stating that all of the applicants
from this county failed to pass the
examination for admission to the
freshman class of that institution.
The examination was held here on
July 8 and five applicants came before
the board.
Rev W Aj Fairv has accepted an
invitation to preach the dedication
sermon at Cedar Swamp church next
Sun lay at 11 o'clock a. m. The
church waserected several years ago,

out tne ruie is, we unuersutuu, wnu
the Methodist denomination not to
dedicate a house of worship to God
until it has been wholly paid for.
We congratulate the Cedar Swamp
congregation upon at last being in a
position to dedicate their new church
| building and bespeak a large and appreciative
attendance on this occasion.
Last Thursday we were presented
by our friend, Mr J W Patrick of
Fowler, with a dozen fine, large, delicious
peaches that were a worthy
concomitant to the nectar and ambrosia
of mighty Jove and his associate
deities on Mount Olympus. Abruptly
descending from fancy to
fact, they were the prettiest specimens
of peaches we have ever seen
produced in this county. The largest
ones measured 9l inches around and
none fell below 9 inches in circumence.
They were perfect beauties
and the kindly act will cling to our
memory even as the luscious crimson-hued
fruit clung to its kernel.
A Two-Headed Kitten..
Dr E T Kelly has a genuine curi
osity, secured a few days ago, in
the form of a two-headed kitten,
The double-headed monstrosity lived
only about twelve hours and the
Doctor has preserved the body in
alcohol. This freak of nati r? is the
average size of a nascent feline, having
two distinct, well developed
pairs of ears and eyes and two
mouths and noses, besides all the
other features of a normal cat. Dr
Kelley tried hard to keep alive the
little fellow but the vital spark
scarcely kindled into flame ere it was
snuffed out.
Prefers Newspaper Advertising.
"I have hever in my life." says
John Wanamaker, "used such a thing
as a poster,a dodger or a handbill.
My plan for twenty-five years has
been to buy so much space in a
newspaper and fill it up with what I
wanted. I would not give an advertisement
in a newspaper of four
hundred circulation for five thousand
posters and dodgers. If I wanted to
1 sell cheap jewelry or run a lottery
| scheme I might use posters, but I
wouldn't insult a decent reading
public with handbills."?American
Press.
Publisher Sells and Rents.
j This, from an exchange, sizes up
; the matter to a nicety: "The pub;
lisher of a newspaper has one thing
to sell and one to rent. He has the
| newspaper to sell and the space of
, its columns to rent. Can anyone tell
J why he should give away either? He
. van. ix iiu vuwuoco, v4wv.^ v*
I
i matter of fact, furnish a good deal
} of space rent free. But it does not
follow that he should be expected to
do so. It ought to be recognized as
j would be the giving of sugar or coffee
by the grocer. But, strange to say,
i it is not looked upon in that light at
! all, and yet everybody knows that
I the existence of a newspaper depends
upon the rent of its space and
I the sale of the paper, just the same
as a merchant's success depends
upon the selling of his goods instead
of giving them away."
