AS the fall session Of Mt. Zion In.

pross upon tho people Of Fairfield
tho necessity and advantage of sup
porting this school. Mt. Zion is ono
Of the old landmarks of Fairfield,
ono OF tho few remains Of tho past.
1t IL one Of tho oldest schools in
South Carolina. 1t was foGnded in
1888, ninety years ngo, existing first
as college, and subsequently as IN

many ycals it was patronized by the
entire South, and under tho manage.

tho County who did not receive in

its old pupils it is endoarcd by hun.

heavy blow in tho disastrous tesmi.
nation of tho war. When she W as gra.
dually recuporating, second disaster
awaited hef in tho burning of tho old
college. But tho Mt. Kion Society
has exhibited praisoworthy ortcr-
priso in repairing tho loss, md ne
and substantial cdiEce stands upon
tho ruins Of tho old building. Tho
services Of an sblo Instructor, Mr.. II.
n. Clarkson, gentleman of expert
enoo and talent, and deeply interest.
cd In his noble mission, have been
soourod, and tho only thing now need:
full to raiso Mt. Hion to the rank of n
first class institution, is patronage on
tho part Of the oitizens. The bene.
fioial efFnots Of any institution are
proportional to the number OF bu.
pills. Let our people, then, rally to
the support of time honorod school.
But other reasons besides mere senti-
ment may be addueed in support Of
maintaining this school. The pros.

We must have good school in Fair.

or great advantage Is In keeping pu.,

when these children become citisons
their old friendships will insure unity

THAT Terrible Kerosene.

The Scientific American gives the
following directions, which cannot be
placed before the public too. often, for
detecting the pres"nce.of Explosive elo:-
ments in kerosene: The taking ofthe
specific gravity Is worthless, because tn Q
adulteratlon by the lighter naptha can
be distinguished by the. addition of a
heavy oil. The color and odor are also
not to be relied upon. The only relia-
BILE test is the temperature of the flash
ing point that ls, the temperature at
which the petroleum takes FIRE when q
burning match is applied to its surface
The test can be easily applied. Into
Hat dish or saucer pour the oil to be
tried, until it is at least half inch deep :;
then hold burning match or taper near
the surface. At the point Of contact
The combustion ia often very lively, no

tried to purchase him, but Stokes
had just refused 5000 for him, and
didn't want to sell the dog. Finally,
however, he told Hacker that as per

The Denver News thus states the
outlines of this gigantic scheme The
plan Is to tunnel the puuutains from
point about ono mile below Black
Hawk to the Middle rark, running in
a horthwesterly direction. The tun.
mel to be run Will, it is presumed, cut
many rich veins Of gold aud silver,
AMI thus greater mining interes
Will be developed. Some idea of the
magnitude of the Undertaking may
DC gathered from the fact that the
tunnel, If completed, will be twolve
miles in loDEth. 1t is Intended to
make it large enough for railway
purposes, and SO, if road is ever to
hc constructed to the Middle Park,
1T will find its most convenient route

at phyat:ila. several miles from Coldwater,
had been drinking freely, and was In jocu-
lar manner accusing every one Of having
committed the nhIrdcr. Finally he met stlan-
ger. and being just tip<y enough not to care
what he said, addressed the stranger in the
ssmc manner: "Yes--you-you are the
nGu who murdered John.on Mt Cold.

the mans face. and simultaneously he ran
his hand in his bosom "a IL to draw q
weapon. DR. ni!clie co!larcd him with his
Lett hand. and with his right drew dirk
from his pocket, and told him il he attempted
10 draw wcOpon lie would plunge that
knife to his heart in second. lie then
commanded he man TO withdraw his hand,
which was speedily ohcyed, when, instead of
n weapon, he drew out the sllm Of Sl.100,
which he dropped on the ground ct his feet.
Meanwhile a crowd had gathered around the
Doctor and his prisoner, aud the evidence Of
the MANS guilt was by this time so palpablc
tia, lie VIZ. placed under arrest. The man
thus arrested lia> since proved to be Cad-
well and lie has confessed both the murder
and tie robbery.
