the arrival of the passenger train. Ex-

WATERING THE STREETS. Major E. w.
Seibels, who has kindly undertaken the
supervision of watering Main street, for
which contribution has been made by
the merchants and business men, has
sent on to New York for supply of new
hose. which will reach here in a day or
two. The experiment with carts was
found not to work we'll, and the hose
which has been used was too old and
defective to be efficient. When the new
hose comes. though. we may hope to be
| troubled with the dust no more.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION. -Messrs. Ty-
rec, Fisher and MoGregor, of our city,
and Mr.. Clarke, of Newberry, yesterday
passed successful examination as phar-
maceutists before the Board of Medical
Examiners. composed OF Drs. Darby,
Talley and Lynch. All persons. except
physicians, who follow the business of
apothecaries, are required, by recent
statute Of the State, to stand an exami-
nation before the Medical Faculty of the
State University, or OF the Medical Col
lege. at Charleston. in order to receive a
licerse. Physicians following the bust
ness OF druggists, pharmaceutists, &c,
who are graduates Of any recognized
medical college, will be granted license
without examination, upon proof of said
graduation. We mention this for the
benefit of the druggists of the villages
and towns throughout the State, who
may be ignorant of the law. A failure
to take out license within six months
after the passage Of this Act, which
bears date March 13, 1872, is punishable
as misdemeanor, with heavy f1ne or
imprisonment.
