THE SECOND REGIMENT.

to Secure Recruits.
On account Of the slowness with
which recruits have been mustered
into the Second South Carolina
Regiment and the still greater diff
ficulty anticipated in obtaining
men by reason of the pending
peace negotiations, much discour
agement has been felt by those
interested in the formation of the
Regiment. Offers 10 furnish the
requisite number of men have
been received from other States,
and many have thought it best
to accept some of these PROPOSE
tions.
Recently, however, the future
of the Regiment has assumed q
much more hopeful aspect. Col.
Willie Jones has just returned
from Washington, where he had q
satisfactory interview with Presi-
dent Mckinley On the subject.
The authorities are all anxious for
the Regiment to be formed, and
every concession desired was
granted. Four recruiting officers
will be sent out and the enlist.
ment expedited as much as posi-
ble.
Even if peace be declared
before the Regiment is
completed the work will 60 on
until enough men are secured,
however long it may take. The
war department has promised to
lend its aid in every way possible
to help the Regiment on. Col.
Jones is very enthusiastic and the
prospects are bright for South
Carolina to be vlndicated from
the charge of tagging behind in
responding to the call Of duty.

Editor County Record:-
We notice in your last issue a
communication from player of
the Black Mingo B. B. club con-
cerning the game Of ball that
was to have been played between
that club and Indiantown. For
fear this will create a mistaken
impression in the minds of some,
and not with any intention Of
provoking a controversy, we wish
to submit a statement of facts.
As Payer" says, we were in
vited to a Sunday school picnic,
after which the game of ball was
to be played. About three o'clock
in the afternoon a rain came up
and it poured for at least half an
hour. Our boys were loath to
give up the game after coming so
far to play, so we decided to 60
and see the ground, thinking that
perhaps it was so situated that the
water would run off or soak in
quickly. Accordingly we went to
the ground, finding on our ar
rival that the water was several
inches deep around each base. all
around and filling the pitchers
box, and that innumerable holes
scattered over the ground were
also filled.
Moreover we found that there
was neither mask nor back-stop,
that right and left fields-right
field especially-were veritable
bogs, and hence we concluded not
to play.

A Promising Outlook for the Coming

Session.
The prospect for a successful
school here next session is most
encouraging. All differences
among the people seem to have
been laid aside and everything is
working harmoniousIy. The teach
ers for the coming term have been
elected and everybody is looking
forward hopefully to the opening
OF school next month. The re-
Gently elected teachers are strong

doubt give us a first class school.
Mr.. Olin Epps, the principal, is a
graduate of Wofford College and
is warmly endorsed by the faculty
of that institution. He has lived
among US all his life and is known
to be a young man of excellent
character and fine intellect. Miss
Elise Carwile, the assistant teach
er, is from the town of Edgefield,
where she has taught in the Insti-
tute Of that place for several
years. Her testimonials are OF
the highest order and are given by
the people among whom che has
gained her experience in teach.
ing.
With such teachers, backed up
by the hearty patronage Of the
town, a good school is assured,
and people of the county with
children to educate should send
them here instead Of patronizlng
institutions in other counties,
which are in no respects better
than the schools at home.

an appeal to District Attorney

and an order was given for Lee TO

The daily session of the institute

gave the teachers a pleasant and
instructive talk during the morning
session. Prof. II N Snyder, of
Woford College, came in Wed
uesday evening and at $50 o'clock
made all address on The School
house. The weather was rainy
and the crowd at the Court house
was lacking, but Prof. Snyder, with
fervor, earnestness and eloquence,
handled his subject in a mastery
way. Instinct with expression, his
gestures, tones and the play OF his
features emphasized his every
sentence, and his audience, having
heard him, went away feeling that
they had been amply rewarded
for their attendance. Again on
Thursday Prof. Snyder favored his
hearers with a talk on English,
during which he read with char
ming expression a part of Tenny-
sons" Enoch Arden" Thursday
night this same speaker delighted
his audience with another lecture
on "The Bookman." A we'll filled
