Thoughts. Political and
Otherwise

Warrenton, S. c., June 8, 1885,
Well, another week gone by and farmers
still at work, and as Bill Arp says, .'the sun Is
mighty hot too" and we agree with him for
little during the past week.
More fine rains since our last, though !
think no one can complain of too much, for
al me crops were IN fine condition and are
now looking finer.
Miss Zula Brock, our verv estimabe and &C.
complished teacher, has been spending the
week visiting friends in and around Warren
ton. Miss Brock will leave US this week for
her home 10 Due West. She has made many
friends during the past year and all hate to
Miss Rosa Wilson of Fondville has been
visiting friends in town during the past
and we are always glad to welcome her.
Miss Ellie Wilson Of Columbia is in Fond.
Vile for the summer. Miss Ellie has been
suffering great deal with her eyes and we
understand has had bad health and is visit
Ing this section hoping to recuperate. Fond
Vile being one OF Warrentop's suburban
towns, she has made fine selection as the re-
cord shows our town 10 be the healthiest In
the state.
Miss jamie Mcneil has been spending a
week or 70 In Sharon neighborhood with re-
latives and friends.
Miss Lila Wilson and Miss Jane Thomas
visited friends and relatives in Sharon last
Friday.
1t was our pleasure to attend the Ice cream
d II.
liam's given for the benefit of the school
building, and from what we could see all
seemed to enjoy themselves. The Program
was carried out TO the letter, and for the
Bertha Gillian for making 1t so pleasant for
ALL A handsome profit was realized.
The game of ball announced for Saturday,
June 6, did not come, owing to some misun-
to entertain the public In the future.
There were quite large congregation at
Warrenton Sunday, and were treated to
fine sermon by the pastor, Rev. H. C. Fennel.
His DISCOURSE infused with some fine food
for the spiritual appetite.
The candidates; what has become of them !,
we have heard comparatively little OF them
and II seems that none are coming out for the
Messrs Gary and McGIll and think they will
get our towns support, and by the way,
gentlemen what about the abolition OF the
Citadel? From what we can learn there's
certainly something wrong with the manage
ment OF the finances and we hardly think 1t
will bear Investigation.
II seems very strange, the board of visitors
should allow each cadet only S32 per year and
require him TO buy his books and bed.cloth-
Ing when previous to the session of 1886, the
cadet were furnished with books and bed
clothing and allowes s72 each and then the
State only appropriated SlSOO Tor the
schools support, while this year the Stale
gives 1t s2l, 600. There is certainly some
thing materially wrong and 1t should be in
vestigated as IL is now, there is no induce
ment for one to try for the appointment, and
less for one TO pay his way through as he Is
required to pay $500 10 the treasurer and then
only get S32 back to pay for his books, for
clothing, and uniforms, shoes and TO supply
his room which will cost him the first year,
at least S72 and If any one wish a statement
In details let 1t be known and we will take
pleasure in furnishing 1t and furthermore,
we will defy any one TO deny 1t.
Quite large number from Lebanon wor-
shipped at Warrenton Sunday.
