Beaufort, ". c.. March 1.-THE Su-
perior court convened Monday with Judge
Winston on the bench and Solicitor Moore
az the prosecutors desk. To a fellow
who is not directly interested in the
court proceedings it's a pleasant picture
to study-the faces of the judge and So
licitor. If one be seeking frmness in
the picture presented he finds it traced
in every muscle and fibre. If he would
appreciate humor then he needs but look
and Dickens pales into insignifcance. If
he would bask in the sunshine of COLI
geniality then he has only to sit, look,
listen and his whole being is moved and
swayed by the gentle influences wrought
az he waits Alasi if he be directly in
terested and he be guilty of crime COM
mitted or law violated then the panor-
anna changes and he beholds in the pic
ture the faces of the stern judge and the
determined aggressive prosecuting Off
GER 1t is wonderful the various scenes
in which the court presents itself. Much
depends upon the relation involved. But
ii must be a source of pleasure to these
officers to know that they are held by
all in greatest esteem and on every hand
compliment awaits them.
The weather has been ideal weather
and there has prevailed an air of de-
light manifest by all visitors.
Hunting has repaid the sportsmen and
the number of Northern soiourners here
have sighed not at all for a return TO
the frigid regions.
The improvements under way at the
Miss Sarah Davis Hotel are nearing com
pletion. These will add materially to
comfort and convenience and are hailed
with delight by the visiting public. Adj
pacent to this Inn is the boarding house
of Mrs Manson where nice service and
cozy rooms await the few who are so
fortunate as to find quarter there.
Throughout the town the fever of i'm
provement has taken hold of the people
and workmen are busy remodeling, en-
larging and otherwise beautifying homes.

ST. Pauls school, an improvement OF
which the people have every reason to
be proud, is in a flourishing condition.
BY invitation l recently visited the
school and was delighted with what
saw. The building is excellently stu
ated, large and fully equipped for the
work done from the kindergarten to the
higher grade departments. The faculty
led by the Rev. Noe, is an able one and
most efficient in every department. The
discipline is thorough. peep into the
kindergarten where the smaller ones
are taught the principles of government
of their members, /. e., their fingers, es
pecially in the arts of construction, is a
scene most enchanting. The department
so carefully and skllfully taught by Miss
Johnston, of New York, is one of de-
cided interest. Among the work done by
the little pupils of the kindergarten de-
partment are drawing, painting, designs
in cut paper, weaving with rattan and
raphia. framing pictures in passe-partout
counting, designating the different
shades of color and singing. The lesson
in games is so very interesting the little
ones are eager for the approach of the
school hour. i examined specimens OF
pottery and basket work and could
