There will be a competitive exami-
nation held in the court house at
this place on July 25th, at 9 o'clock
a. m, for scholarships and entrance
into Winthrop College. These schol-
arships are valuable, and we'll worth
striving for. Should a vacancy
occur after July 18th, they will be
given to the ones making the highest
average marks.
We gratefully appreciate the kind
words Rev. A. r. Phillips wrote
about the Dispatch, in remittiug his
contribution toward the purchase of
'.sugar and shortening fer black
berry pies" An Editors life is a
hard one. To him fall all the
curses and abuses and there seldom
flashes across his dark pathway the
light of kind words and when they
do they are appreciated.
The human machine starts but
once and stops but once. You can
keep it going longest and most reg
ularly by using DeWitt's Little
Early Risers, the famous little pills
for constipation and all stomach and
liver troubles. J. E. Kaufman.
About half of the secret of sue
cess in life is to know where to pur-
chase necessary goods at the lowest
prices, and in order to inform our
readers where that place is, so that
they can attain unto that success,
we take pleasure in saying that no
firm sells family and plantation sup
plies cheaper than does Platt, Hook
& Shull, Columbia. II you want to
save money go there for your sup
plies.
Mr.. David Matthias, has sent to

more productive. He makes corn
and provisions to sell, always keep
ing plenty for his own use.
