Prof. Woodward's Lectures.

Prof. F. G. Woodward, presi-
dent Of the South Carolina Col
lege, delivered two very able ad-
dresses before the teachers iEsti-
tute Monday and Tuesday nights.
Prof. Woodward is consid-
cred one of the foremost lee urerS,
as we'll as one Of most emminent
educators, in the State, and the
mere announcement that he was
to lecture was sufficient to fill the
spacious court house to its utmost
seating capacity both nigh's.
Prot. Woodward took for his
subject Mondav night "Reading,"
and handled it in most
mastery way. For one hour and
seven minutes he was listened to
by over two hundred auditors,
and not one regretted having at
tended. The speaker did not de-
nounce the reading OF so-called
trashy" literature, but pointed
out The fact that what one would
term "trashy" another would ad
mire, and cautioned his hearers
to select with great care the liter
ature that he Or she should read.
He put special stress upon the
Importance of reading OF history
and biography, for, he said. TO
know what we of today are, We
must know from what We came,
and the only way to learn that Is
by studying the history OF our an
cestors. The lecture was instrnc
tive throughout, and no attempt
will lie made to give anything
like a aull synopsis Of it here.
Prof. Woodward remained in
Kingstree all of Tuesday, the
guest of Capt. John A. Kelley,
and delivered his celebrated lee
ture on sCharles Dickens Tuesday
night. This lecture was even
more appreciated than the one
of The night before. He reviewed
the life of Dickens, and showed
how the author used real personal
FRIENDS as his characters, and the
different manner in which
he painted those whom he
liked and those whom he disliked.
The speaker wound up by show
ing how Dickens love of public
reading cut off his life pre- nature.

 A recent land office ruling, relative to permits to cut public timber, pro- vides that permits shall hereafter not embrace more thana quarter section, or 160 acres. Also that an applicant shall not be accorded second permit unless an urgent necessity exists therefor. Heretofore the custom has been to secure permits to cut timber from three or four sections. The new ruling will be practically prohibitory, as timber grows too sparcely to allow a profit from 90 small & tract.

Make the Most of Yourself.

It is the duty of every man to make the most of himself. Whatever his capacities may be, he is sure to find some place where he can be use:ul to himself and to others. But he can not reach his highest usefulness with out good health and he cannot have good health without pure blood. The blood circulstes to every organ and tissue and when it is pure. rich and healthy it carries health to the entire system, but if it is impure it scatters disease wherever it flows. Hoods 5srsaparilla is the one true blood purifier. It cures salt rheum, scrofula, catarrh, dyspepsia and rheumatism because these diseases have their origin in the blood.
