Our Ninety-Six country Is rejoicing in the

crops, barring little March corn, are looking
The closing exercises Of the Ninety-six
High School were quite interesting. The mu.
sic and singing superb, and the address of the
Hon: +. b. Murray, OF Anderson, was a good
South Carolina, interspersed with some good
advice to patrons and scholars. This haa

Saturday evening that our people are more
interested in their several avocations Of life
than In politics. We counted twelve present
who took part in the meeting, and IL was al
most impossible to get delegates who would
agree to attend the meeting Of the Central
club. Some were willing 10 60 provided their
expenses were paid, others sought in vain al
ternates who would 60 in their places, and so
1t Is. We are too far from the court house.
Farmers cannot afford to Quit their business
70 run off twenty-five miles, the consequence
is, that the court house rings bring before the
club cut and dried program, which the
many countrymen are too tired to discuss
aud so 1t goes. We must have a constitution
al convention and get smaller counties. This
is the remedy.
