SOMETHING NEW.

The new school known as the
Orangeburg Collegiate Institute,
located at Orangeburg, S. c., will
open Sept. 26th. The trustees have
secured seven graduate teachers
and can now accommodate two or
three hundred pupils. There will
be Literary, Business, Music, Art.
Normal and Military Departments.
rbe Institute will be co-educa-
tional, welcoming both boys and
girls. Two large dormitories will
afford ample room for all boarders,
one being for boys, the other for
girls. The plan .or boarding is the
cooperative one, board being put
at cost, which will be about $5 a
month. Our motto IS "The best
possible school at the least possi-
bio cost" Our course is cumpre-
heasive, thorough, and cheap. This
is Baptist school but all are well
come. We purpose making the
school so cheap that the great farm
ing and industrial classes can edu-
care their children here. The girls
boarding department is limited to
rs, and is being rapidly filled up
irst applicants get these special
privileges. For further informa.

NOT ICE.
TO THE PUBLIC.

i now have Il few convicts with
which to work the roads Of Edge
field county, under sentence Of
the court, but they are so few
t5at it will take long time to
get around; however, I'll make
this suggestion: There are a great
many ditch bridges in the county
that cost good deal or money in
the aggregate. Now, if farmers
will haul out of their plantations,
rocks and stones that may be Id
the way, and pile them near these
bridges, / will take these convicts
from time to time and fill up the
bitches with the rocks, thus doing
awaywith the necessity of wooden
bridges and saving a good deal to
the county in tee way OF lumber
bills,
AS an indication of what these
little bridges cost the county !
would say that on one piece OF
road q mile and half long there
are seventeen ditch bridges. This
may be, and probably is, the worst
piece Of road in the county fol
ditch bridges, but is by no means
the only piece, they probably run
up into the hundreds.
