A Chance for FIgurers.

Just at the present time the prob
lem Of the age of Mary and Ann is
e%ngrossing the attention Of the peo-
pie of the country, while over in
England there is any amount of
scrapping going on over the solution
Of the problem. There is a cold win
ter coming on and for fear that time
might hang heavy on the hands of
the people a part of the time they
can figure out this seemingly unsolv-
able problem. Most anybody can
work on it, but there are very few, if
any, car solve it, according to the
various answers that are published in
the eastern press. Here is the prob
lem:
Mary is "a years old. Mary is twice
as old as Ann was when Mary was as
old as Ann is now. How old is Ann?
The answers car be exchanged
among the participants.

FAREWELL AND WELCOME
The Departing and New Pastors of
the Baptist Church mtprtain-
ed Monday Evening".

The departure OF Rev. Fred r.,
Drewett and wife for their new home
in Albert Lea, MINI aud the ccm-
ing OF Rev. Mr.. Giblett, the new pas
tor OF the Baptist church, afforded
the members of the church and ON
creation an opportunity to perform
i q uole duty Monday evening, in
saying goodbye to the former and ex-
tending a welcome to the latter.
There was a large number who were
present. at the church. and while the

members visited with their pastors
and among themselves. The eXer-
clses were very brief in character.
in which an address was made by
Deacon b. Morse. whu referred to
the excellent work done by Mr..
DreWett and wife and the regret
that was prevalent at the parting.
In closing he handed Mr.. Drewett a
purse of money, which came from
the members Of the church as a
Slight token Of their high regard for
him and bis good wife. In respond
ing MIR. DreWett spoke very briefly of
the pleasant places he had preached
in but Of all he thought that Mitch
ell was the browning one of all the
towns in which be had lived, where
such warm fellowship had been ex-
perienced and where the people were
so free and open-hearted and gener-
Gus. He said he did not think they
would get so far away but what they
would return for a visit among their
friends. Deacon Morse introduced
Rev. Mr.. Giblett. the new pastor,
who took occasion to express HRS sim
cere thanks for the very cordial man
ner in which be had been recei we'd by
the people Of the church and after
the experiences related by Mr.. Drew
EFT he thought that he had got into
a community where life would have
some pleasant features. In their new
pastor the Baptists feel that they
have secured a worthy successor to
MIR. Drewett and under his ministra-
lions they have every reason to be-
lieve that the church will grow and
prosper steadily.
After the speeches were over light
refreshments were served, and a very
pleasant evening came to a close.

THE JAMES \. TILMAA Trial.
Progress of Effort to Get a
Change of Venue.

Columbia, S. c., June 23.-The
second day of the hearing for change
of venue in the case of James H. Till
man, indicted for murder, ended with
the argument only fairly begun. This
morning the prosecution presented
additional affidayits, alleging that a
fair trial can be had in the county.
The afhdavits for the prosecution num-
Der four hundred or more. Then the
defence introduced a number in reply,
the whole number of afidavits on both
sides being about seven hundred
and fifty. The DEFENDANTS attorney
read numerous articles printed in the
State, relating to the killing of that
papers editor, these being, for the
most part, messages of sympathy and
appreciative tributes to Mr.. n. G..
Gonzales. Prayers, offered for Mr..
Gonzales's recovery by the Columbia
ministers the Sunday before he died,
were also read as evidence that the
prachers as we'll as the press had en-
deavored to stir up feeling against the
defendant. The defence desired to in
troduce some of Mr.. Gonzales's
editorials denouncing Lieutenant Gov
ernor Tillman last year, but Judge
Townsend ruled that these were not
competent and they were excluded.
The argument was beugn at o'clock
this afternoon by Col. George John
stone for the defence. Col. Johnstone
is one of the most eloquent and re-
sourceful lawyers of the State, and
he spoke for over an hour, criticising
and commenting on certain of the
prosecutions afidavits.
Court adjourned at the conclusion
of his speech, to meet at O'Clock
tomorrow morning, when Mr.. Andrew
Crawford will open for the prosecu-
ton.
There will be five hours argument
tomorrow and a decision may be given
in the afternoon.
= The defendant was in court through
out the proceedings and participated
in the several consultations of his at
torneys. Neither his wife nor mother
was present today.

The South Carolina College
for Teachers.

Although nearly approaching its cen
tennial anniversary, the South Carolina
College shows none of the decrepltude
OF old age, but rather increasing signs
of vigorous life. A new departure OF
great Importance to the College and TO
the State has just been inaugurated.
For some years the College has had a
department of pedagogy, for the train
ing Of teachers; but last winter, Tor the
first time, the Legislature created
number Of endowed normal scholar
ships, one for each county. 1t is the
intention Of the Trustees and Faculty
20 set these scholarships upon hlgh
plane. and to seek thereby to qualify
superior young men for positions of
leadership and influence in our public
schools. However largely women may
&c employed as teachers, the work OF
superintendent, direction and control
must continue to be most largely in the
hands of the men; and it is to supply
these teachers of leadership and in
f1uence, in the community as well as IN
the schools, that the College will chiefly
aim. through these scholarships. Hence.
no young man under nineteen years of
age will be eligible, and preference will
be given to those applicants who have
already taught with success for at
ledSl one year.
A special and technical course Of
study has been established, on high
yet practical plane; and it is intended
that this department shall be worthily
entitled to be called college for
Teachers" All the work will be dis
tinctively normal, and apart from the
regular College classes. The Trustees
and Faculty feel sure that in preparing
a body Of strong. and well equipped
men teachers the College will aid in
supplying one of the most important
needs of the State. They hope, also.
that this work. in it's success and its
results, may meet with such public ap-
proval as to lead hereafter to it's still
further enlargement.
Circulars have been issued giving the
details of regulations and course OF
study.
The present session, now nearly
ended. has been very encouraging. Not
a ripple has disturbed the internal
peace of the College. The new Presi-
dent has won golden opinions, and has
more than maintained the confidence
and affection gained in his long service
as professor. The friends of the Col
lege look hopefully forward to the con-
tinued success and increased usefulness
of this venerated institution, which Will
soon enter upon its second century OF
honorable history.

WEEKLY WEATHER SUMMARY.
The Weather Bureaus Review OF
Crop Conditions of The Country.

Washington, June 23.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions says:
While still too ccoI in the districts
east Of the Rocky mountains the tenn
perature conditions Of the week ending
June ~ were somewhat more favorable
in the central vallegs and southern
States, but over portions of the lake
region and middle Atlantic States and
in New England it was colder than in
the preceding week.
4 general improvement in the con-
diton of corn in the central valleys is
indicated, especially over the western
portions. In the southern States early
corn is Largely laid by and is nearing
maturity in Texas.
Cotton continues small, but it's gen.
eraf condition is somewhat improved.
Cultivation has made good progress,
and fields are clean. except IN por-
tions Of eastern .dls6llcrs. In le2as
plants are healthy and have made
rapid growth but the crop continues
two or three weeks late. Boil weevil
are spreading in Texas, but so far
have done little injury. Lice are
causing damage in the Carolinas,
Arkansas and Missouri.
In New Englnad tobacco needs
warmth and sunshine, but elsewhere
the crop has made favorable progress,
except in North Carolina and portions
of Virginia. Tobacco is growing we'll
in Tennessee and the Ohio valley, a
marked improvement being reported
from Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Tras splanting is about finished.
