CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.

This most excellent institution will re-
open on Monday, the 14th inst, and de-
serves to receive the liberal patronage of the
citizens of Anderson and adjoining Coun-
ties. Our people are interested in having.a q
College of high order at this place. and to
secure such an institution should give Prof.
Ligon not only the benefit of their patron
age, but also of their influence. He is o
gentleman of very fine literary attainments,
and if encouraged to an extent to justify
him in doing so, would make this College
the peer of any in the State. 1t is founded
upon the plan Of CO. education of thesexes,
and has demonstrated by its practical work
ings for several years past that the system
under which it is operated is not only q
possible, but that it is q very desirable and
successful plan of instruction. The town Of
Anderson is healthy location, and pos
sesses highly intellectual and moral popu-
lation, which affords improving and pleasant
associations to those who may come into
our midst for educational purposes. With
such school as that presided over by Prof.
Ligon, and such advantages as those pos
sessed by our town, we are satisfied that
parents at home and abroad cannG find
more desirable institution in which to edu-
cate their boys and girls than in the Caro-
lima Collegiate Institute at Anderson.

THE FENCE LAW.

Mr.. EDITOR There seems to be considera-
BILE doubt in the minds of the people in re-
gard to the new Fence Law, and numerous
enquiries have been made as to when it will
go into effect. We desire to state that the
Commissioners have declared and published
the result of the said election, and that the
new Fence Law, according to the Act, and
not of the Commissioners. took effect in
those Townships adopting it the first day of
January, 1878. Parties who suffer their
stock to run at large, do so at their own
risk.
The line fences will be built as soon as
practicable, and the fact that they are not
built is no license for parties to suffer their
stock to run at large.

EDITORS TABLE.

The leading feature of ApPLEToNs' Jour-
NAL for January is an illustrated article de-
scriptive of the building of the great New
York and Brooklyn suspension-bridge. This
paper, by Mr.. Charles Carroll, is written in
q graphic and charming manner, indepen-
dent Of its theme; and, as the erection of
the bridge is one of the greatest engineering
triumphs of the age, the description of the
peculiar methods employed will be studied
with profound attention by every reader.
The Illustrations are numerous and good.
We find also very readable paper by Writ
Skies, entitled "Christmas in Wales" Mr..
David Ker tells of an adventure on an Ice
land moor; Charlotte Adams has dramatic
sketch of pathetic incident in all Italian
playhouse; there is good description of the
remarkable Portland beach (England;)
paper by C. P. Cranch, under the title of
Sermons in Stones" describes an eccentric
New England stone-breaker of theological
turn of mind. There is light and flashing
sketch, "Arachne and Penelope" by M. E.
w. S., which gives some delightful pictures
of women at embroidery, and at the same
time explains the purpose of the new Deco
rative Art Society of New York. Mrs. Gage
has history of the so-called Cleopatra
Needles. There are the serials, "By Celia's
Arbor'' and CHERRY Ripe" short stories;
poems; and the editorial departments
making as usual varied and well-contras-
ted bill OF literary fare.
"Strong Drink" is the title of new tenn
perance novel from the pen of T. S. Arthur.
and is one of the best productions of this
popular and singularly interesting temper
ance writer. In this book he depicts in
truthful lines the curse of strong drink, and
shows before he completes it wherein the
cure for this evil lies. The work is emil
nently qualified to do good in the temper
ance cause, and every one should procure a
copy who can do SO. Mr.. ]. L. Snipns is
agent for the sale of the book in this Coun-
ty, and will be pleased to receive orders and
supply the book. The friends of temper
ance should endeavor to secure good cir
culation Of it.

son, jamie Simpson, Julia Hascall and Mrs.
R. w. Simpson. its preparation cost much
money and labor, and its beauty and in
scriptions evince taste rarely if ever dis
played. On one occasion Washington said:
"The Independence of America is attributa-
BILE to the noble women of America" But
never did appreciate his remark, or fully
realize the potency of woman's voice on
occasions akin to the one to which refer,
till heard Miss Simpsons words of encour-
agement on presenting the flag to the Com
pany.
After drill Captain Simpson stated that he
had been rendered position of honor by
Governor Hampton, which he could not
accept without resigning his Captaincy; that
he highly appreciated the compliment of the
Governor, but that the members of the
Company were his neighbors, with whose
interests his were identified, and with whom
he was united by many dear ties; that he
had labored hard in aiding the Company to
attain the perfection which it had attained,
and that if he left it it would be with great
reluctance however. if the Company
thought best, he would accept the position
offered by the Governor. Immediately
afterwards he retired from the Company,
leaving it alone to consider the matter.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolred, That the Conner Light Dragons
assure their Captain that they highly ap-
preciate his past services, and cannot accept
his resignation, unless by remaining with it
he will make great personal sacrifice and
manifest disrespect towards Gov. Hampton.
For reasons best known to Captain Simp-
son he asked to withhold his decision till
the next meeting, which was held on the
2Sth ult. at this place. A lack of prompt
ness on the part of Captain Simpson in at
tanning decision induced some members
of the company to suspect that he thought
some one did not wish to retain him; conse-
quently, on the day last referred to the
Company unanimously decided to demand
his continued services as their Captain. He
being sent for, and the same being reported

pressed willingness and desire to remain
with the Company in preference to accept
ing the appointment of the Governor.
The further exercises of the Company
during the day consisted in drilling, target
shooting and tournament. A trespass on
your space torbids me to say more in this
connection than brief reference to the
tournament. The successful knights were
Messrs Franklin Smith, w. D. Glenn, w.
w. Watkins and George Russell. The fol-
lowing ladies were crowned by the same in
the evening at party given by John M.
Glenn, of Slabtown: Miss Lizzie Richard |
son, Queen of Love and Beauty; Miss Lula
Hutchison, 1st Maid of Honor; Miss Leila
Williams, I'd Maid of Honor; Miss Lizzie
Smith, Sd Maid of Honor.

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test its curative qualities as
BoscnEE's GERMAN SYRUP. In three years
two million four ahundred thousand small
bottles of this medicine was distributed free
of charge by Druggists in this country to
those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma,
Group, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other
diseases of the throat and. lungs. giving the
American people undeniable proof that
GERMAN SYRUP will cure them. The result
has been that Druggists in every town and
village in the United States are recommend
ing it to their customers. Go to your Drug
gists, Simpson, Reid & Co., and ask what
they know about It. Sample Bottles 10

FIVE FORKS.

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to refer to an or
ganization in the upper part of the County
which is attracting considerable attention.
1 refer to militia company called the Con-
ner Light Dragons. 1t was first known rs
Garvin Light Dragons, but in consideration
of the distinguished services of Gen. Conner
in this State, it was changed to Conner Light
Dragons. The members of the Company
are very proud Of it's name, and believe that
they have the sympathy of the General, who
has already rendered incalculable services to
them in aiding the Captain in getting arms.
It was organized at the suggestion of its
worthy Captain, Hon. R. w. Simpson,
about the 1st September, 1877, since which
time it has been meeting as often as practi-
cable for drill, &C. 1t now numbers about
seventy, and is gaining accessions at each
meeting. is we'll officered, and has bec'me
an organization of which the County may
we'll be proud When it was first formed
many predicted that it would be 'defunct'
before the close of the year, but on the 22d
ult. its permanent success was dcmonstra-
ted beyond a question.
This forms memorable day in the histo-
ry of the Company. To have supposed two
years ago that Democratic cavalry compa-
ny could be organized, armed and equipped
by the government in the State of South
Carolina would have been preposterous, and
the idea of the Company receiving arms
when it was organized was cllimerical, but
on the day above referred to they were dis
tributed at Bishops Branch, when the
Company met for drill. On the same day q
flag of rare beauty was presented the Com
pany. The donors were Misses Anna Simp.

Now and Then.

It is only now and then that such men as
Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith
and Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga, endorse med
icine for the throat and lungs, and when
they do it is pretty good evidence that the
remedy must be good for the cure of coughs,
colds and lung affections. They recommend
the GLOBE FLOWER CoUGH SYRUP, and their
testimonials are to be seen round the ten
cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower
Syrup, for sale by SIMPSON, REID e. co.
A sample bottle relieves the worst cough,
and will cure sore throat. Regular size
bottles, fifty doses, 81.

The Republican feeling is very strong
in France, and is daily attracting to it
the most timid conservative interests.
The mamelukes Of the three pretenders
count no more only as political fossils, or
as harmless eccentrics- Unhappily the
cabinet is afraid to follow public opinion;
1t is totally deficient in pluck and decis.
ion; it had no clear idea of Government;
no healthy standard for administration.
1t refuses to give post and place to Re-
publicans, and nominates the enemies Of
the constitution to Office, hoping that
the leopards may change their spots, and
the lion lie down with the lamb-quite
possible when the latter is within the
others stomach. The Ministers Of JUS
tice and War, are sinners almost past
redemption in this respect NJ Marcine
is the model of the contrary. Matters
cannot continue in this lamentable con-
tradiction without an explosion; q time
