While Colonel Davis is away, Colonel
Stephenson is in daily receipt of let
tiers of inquiry from the surrounding
states, and also from this immediate
vicinity in regard to rates of board,
tuition, etc., and the answering of this
mail takes up much of his own time as
we'll as nearly all of the time of Mr..
Goodwin, his secretary.
The repair work on the academy
buildings and grounds continues stead
lily, and in permanent fashion. The
plans include the general idea of bring
ing all the surroundings at least up to
the high standard that obtained in the
old days before the war but there are
no indications that Colonels Davis and
Stephenson will be entirely satisfied
even with this.

Back from Kansas City.

August Kohn in News and Courier ::
Of the delegates to the Kansas City
convention, Governor McSweeney,
Senator Talbird and Messrs. Garris
and Welborn returned this afternoon.
While in Kansas City the delegation
rented a small dwelling sufficient to
accommodate them, and they took
their meals wherever it happened
to be most convenient. While the
delegation acted unanimously in the
convention and cast 18 votes for
Stevenson, there was quite live
ly little racket stirred up when
the delegation met to decide whom
they would support for the vice presi-
dency. The first choice of most of
them was Hill but his positive decla-
ration that he would not accept the
honor made the Carolinians cast about
for another man to support. Senator
Tillman was an enthusiastic supporter
of Towne, and made characteristic
ally earnest and ardent speech at the
delegation meeting, urging them to
support him. But his efforts were
in vain, and the senator was much
put out because the delegation refused
to look at it in the light that he did.
Had it not been for the unit rule he
would doubtless have make speech
in favor of Towne in the convention,
and would have voted for him, too.
But a majority Of the delegation was
not willing to support Republican,
even though he favored free silver,
while lifelong Democrats were avail
able, and Senator Tillman had to

CONFEDERATE REUNION.
Here Is the Programme to Be Followed at
Greenwood.

Here Is the Programme to Be Followed at
Greenwood.
General G. I. Walker, commander
of the South Carolina division of the
U. G. ", has issued the following as
General Order No. 48:
l. The annual convention for 1900,
of the South Carolina division, will be
held at Greenwood, S. c., commencing
August 1st. The opening session will
be called to order at 10 a. m.
Q. Our comrades and the good peo-
pie of Greenwood have made liberal
to entertain the division
most handsomely, and we may look
forward to having most enjoyable
reunion. Our numbers are yearly
gl owing smaller, and few of US can at
tend many more reunions-to some OF
us this will be our last-therefore, let
us draw closer together, and all co.
deavor to meet our comrades on this
occasion. The state reunions always
bring together the comrades who were
close during the trying days of 1861 IS,
and more of the comrades than can
possibly attend the general reunions of
the U. G. V. Let. every comrade in
South Carolina attempt to meet his
brothers at Greenwood.
8. Arrangements are being made for
the usual low railroad rate of l cent
per mile.
5. Each brigade, regiment and camp
will please appoint one sponsor, and as
many maids of honor as they may
think best and let each see that they
all come. Nothing adds so much 10
the pleasure of such reunions, as the
presence of the fair women of our
state, devoted as they are to the holy
memories of the great cause we fought
for.
5. Any further details respecting the
pleasure or comfort of the comrades,
will be published to the division, il
necessary.

A 321-Acre Highly Improved Farm

A 321-Acre Highly Improved Farm,
Adjacent to Town Conveniences.
FOR cash, or upon satisfactory terms to
Il the right party, 1 offer at private sale

outskirts of Yorkville, known as the DR..
J. F. LINDSAY PLANTATION.
This plantation includes 32l ACRES,
lying on both sides of the Pinckney road,
which runs nearly through the centre.
The s. G. & G. Extension railroad passes
R. R. runs within about 200 yards of the
eastern boundry. The northeastern line
is within II miles of the courthouse, and
the town is accessible over either the
Chester or Pickney roads.
There are under cultivation and in
pasture about 200 acres, and the balance is
in woodland, most Of which is original
forest, including many THOUSAND
CORDS OF FIREWOOD, and more or
less valuable timber. That portion OF
land which is under cultivation is highly
improved, including thorough system
Of terraces cast along scientific lines and
of from seven to ten years. standing. All
the land lies we'll.
The buildings include ONE STORY
FRAME BUILDING, 5 rooms, in fair re.
pair, suitable for overseer, on the Pinck-
ney road, just two miles from the court
house, good barn and four outbuildings,
with well Of good water: There are on
each near spring, and on the place
six springs, all Of which are convenient

than were made by any other farmer on
any other plantation in this section of the

would want to give possession January
lst, 1901 but in the meantime the pur-
timber or do anything else that would
not Interfere with the cultivation or gath
ering of the crop.

valuable as a place to run q PUBLIC

there tor years. The gin house is we'll
built, covered with metal and in good
repair. The ginning outfit consists of a
IL horse power engine, 6O-saw Van Win:
kle gin, condenser, feeder and a press-all
in good running order. If sale is made
in time to enable me to arrange to put my
