A Card from Prof. P. 7. Erodie.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

~ Solu tOls u LlooiS'
To the Editor of the DispatcE:
I beg through your columns to
explain to the teachers Of the county
the seeming uncertainty that has
characterized my connection With the
published notices of the Lexington
Teachers Summer School.
For two years in succession, with
out solicitation on my part, the State
Superintendent If Education has ap-
pointed me Principal of this school.
accepted both appointments, con-
ditioned upon my ability to do the
work without interfering with college
duties. In both cases it seemed
reasonable to suppose that I should
be able to serve. Members of our
faculty are always liable to be called
upon for college work during vaca-
ton. Upon the decision Of the
authorities to grade and macadamize
the road from Clemson to Calhoun
last summer, I was placed in charge,
as the college engineer, and was en-
gagged there the greater part Of the
time that the Summer School was in
progress. This summer 9 similar
state of affairs exists. A railroad
line from Clemson to C.lhoun las
been projected for some months.
The surveys have been made and the
plans prepared by the Civil Engineer
ing division of the Mathematical De-
partment, under my direction. It
was my impression that this work
would not require further attention
until after vacation. At q meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
Board this week, however, it was de-
cided to proceed during the summer
with the grading Of the line. This
will not necessitate my presence at
the college the entire time, but it
will be impossible for me to be away
go long as month-and particularly
the month of August, during which
the Lexington school will continue.
This disappointment comes WITH
added force after that cf last summer,
but no blame for it attaches to any
one.
( had looked forward with real
pleasure to a month of service for
the teachers of the county. Any
college man in the State should
count it an honor to be used fer the
betterment of the common school
system, and in the teachers of Lex
idgton | feel more than a casual
interest. P. T. Brodie.

China News.

The latest reports from China gives
faint hope chat the American and
other legations, with the exception
of the German minister, are safe in
Pekin. This statement, however, is
seriously questioned by many.
Tho Emperor has petitioned this
government to use it's good Offices
to mediate between the Powera in
behalf of China. The following is
President McKinley's reply:
The President of the United States
to the Emperor Of China, Greet
ings:
1 have received your majesty mes.
sage of the 18Th of July and am
glad to know tbs. your majesty
recognizes the fact that the govern
ment and people of the United
States desire Of China nothing but
what is just and equitable; The
purpose for which we landed troops
in China was the rescue of our lega-
ton from grave danger and the pro-
lection OF the lives and property OF
Americans who were soj>urning in
China in the enjoyment of rights
guaranteed them by treaty and in
ternational law. The same purposes
are publicly declared by all the
powers which have landed military
forces in your majestyS empire.
I am to infer from your msjefty's
letter that the malefactors who have
disturbed the peace of China, who
have murdered the minister of Ger
many, and member of the japan
ese legation, and who now hold
beseiged in Pekin those foreign
diplomatists who still survive, lave
not only not received any favor or
encouragement from your majesty
but are &C uslly in rebellion against
the imperial authority. If this be
tie case, I most sclemn'y urge upon
your msjesty's government to give
public assurance whether the foreign
N nis5ers are alive, and if so, in
what condition.
T. put he diplomatic representa-
tives of the lowers in immediate and
free communication with their re-.
spective governments and to remove
all danger to their lives and Liberty.

Our Moonlight Picnic.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

lO the LlltO OF Cl Lue DiSp SpaICu:
It was on the thirteenth inst, that
we realized the long anticipated
pleasure of another moonlight pic
mic.
On the night mentioned, just as
the moon in all her beauty came
forth to illuminate our Southern
homes with silvery beams, we were
at the hospital home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
E A. Gardner to share with the m
the never to-b be forgotten pleasures
of the occasion.
The weather was delightful, as it
had just rained, making the air cool
and pleasant The nicely arranged
pa1lor was beautifully lighted, giving
grace and beauty to the elegantly
dressed couples as they all took
active parts in the numerous plays.
The music was charmingly render
ed by Mrs. Casson and her accom-
plished daughter Miss Dora, Of Co.
lumbia; while the older folks were
untiring in their Efforts to amuse the
crowd.
The young ladies were prettily
dressed in their tasteful costumes of
white, locking as fresh and light
hearted as if their fair brows had
never been marred by the cares Of
life.
"Our Boys" were no less charming
and attractive in appearance and
manners, than the girls. They were
all "dressed in their best" and their
faces were illuminated with smiles,
while they wore an air of dignity,
culture and refinement. They were
very much elated at the idea of hav-
ing the girls bow before them to
redeem there costly pawns. Oae Of
the young ladies seemed to be very
much grieved to fad that she had to
bow once more 10 humble submission
before Mr.. Sammie Gardner and
implore his pardon for q compli-
melt, which was heartily lsvished
| upon the young men.
About twelve o'clock the j2yful
sound of supper came ringing into
our ears. Very nicely cou pied off,
we were ushered out to do justice to
the inner man, which we all did,
without further hesitation. After
supper We retired to the parlor
where we passed the remainder Ct
our time very pleasantly indeed, un,
til tie parting good night came.
The occasion was very pleasant
one and we hope it will not be long
before We shall have another.
One Present.

To the Editor CT the Dispatch:
When the train arrived in Le1ing-
ton Saturday, July IA, Le1ipgton's
most highly cultured teacher vas
met by Col. D. T. Barre. She is up

teacher ever entered on duty. Tho
bot and sultry, she seemed delight
ed that she had the privilege Of
meeting her little friends. After a
cordial greeting Miss Gertrude Gel
ger entered the school with soul and
mind cooperating to bring forth and
develop the young minds that need
be trained for a higher and nobler
cause. By an Unknown Friend.

We learn from the books of the
County Treasurer that there remains
in the Treasury to the credit OF the

Several years ego she returned to

of everything good to eat. This
restaurant is famous for the excellent
table it sets and the proprietor will
surpass himself on this occasion. A
share of the patronage of the public
is solicited. II you want to enjoy
good dinner, patronize Marks.
Good and refreshing showers have
fallen all around US during the past
week and the crops in the neighbor
hoods which they have blessed are
greatly revived and improved It
seems, however, that we are in the
dry belt again this year. Gardens
are almost burnt up and there is
great scarcity Of vegetables.
Corn and cotton are whitening and
dying and potatoes are suffering for
want Of rain. The heat has been
intense ard it's effect on crops has
been disastrous. The same condi-
ton, we learn, exists in some sections
of the Fork.
All things being equal the people
of Lexington county should patron
ize home enterprise and industry. In
this way are the resources of the
county developed and its financial
condition improved. Mr.. G. D.
Barr, ct Leesville, is one of Lexing-
tons most enterprising and progress
sive merchants, and he informs the
readers of the Dispatch that he is
the agent for the famous Deering
Harvesting Machines, which are the
best on the market. See his adver-
tisement and consult him concern
ing prices, &c.
