Carolina College should be attended much
more generally By teachers.

Tended. but surrender to the lrby

When the Southern Railway and the
Atlantic Coast Line get through COB
ng..competiug lines there will not be
much competition left 10 the South.
The completion Of the Ohio River
and Charleston Railroad will be red
letter day 10 the history Of Sumter.
Nav propisious seasons aud improved
industrial conditions speed the day.
When the best grade Of cotton is
quoted at 81 and falls ten points 10
day, the prospect for good prices 10 the
fall is very dim.
The appointment Of three uncompro-
sisiug Reformers as Commissioners of
Election for Sumter county is peace aod
unity and fair division With a ven.
geuce.
If four hundred Cuban insurgents
and 6fty Spanish soldiers can fight for
three hours and succeed 10 killing only

Carolina
The prevalent feeling that better
times 10 6uaucia. and industria! circles
will be ushered in with the fall season

Ex-Atsorney General Garland has
come out 10 favor of free silver, aud

Dental Candidate should keep an eye

was once power 10 Arkansas.
The progress of she Sumter Manu-
featuring Company towards assured
success is very gratifying to those who
have been enlisted io the enterprise
from the first. There are great many
who could take stock. but are holding
back to see how the enterprise will get
along, but We suppose they will be
readv to take double block of stock
in the mex. factory that is started.
This will not assist in starting the pres
ent factory. however
The News and Courier has installed
a new Hoe press of the most improved

congratulate the Neus and Courier.
