plished ID their lines and equipped
with experience in teaching and
business. These gentlemen are
not only qualified, but they are en-
ergetic and aggressive. We know
this to be true Of Mr.. Morris, and
from the best information we can
gain Mr.. Fawks is one Of the most
progressive, industrious business
college men anywhere. Mr.. Fawks
comes recommended BY Mr.. Derry

foremost and strongest men in the
work, also by the director Of music
and principal Of the Southwestern

party WAS accompanied by Robin

twenty FIVE people. The grove was
reached a few minutes after IL
o'clock, after which the band opened
up with few lively marches and
then the crowd began to separate
and form in knots over different
portions of the broad level sward,
covered with large trees and ample
shade. Swings and hammocks
were stretched and marble games
put in motion in many places. The
real fun didn't begin, however, till
after dinner We don't mean to
say that there was no fun in eating
on this occasion. Perhaps it might
be better to call It pleasure. There
was barbecue, some Of the finest,

After dinner and rest the band /
rendered some selections and then
the crowd again dispersed in differ

les and games Of various kinds.
The weather was beautiful, and
the entire affair was complete
success, there being no misfortunes
in the way Of accidents or sickness.

the farmers in the idea that by mar
keting their cotton gradually they can
get better prices"
1t is to be hoped that the meeting
of the farmers in your city on Set-
ukday, September %, will be 1u.
Let them see to it that every town
ship in the county be represented.
But we need more thorough or
eanization in all the townships; will
our chairman urge this upon the
people next Saturday?
Surely the present method Of weigh
ing cotton will not be displaced 3y
something else; if those who are
urging the change will give little
sober thought to the matter we be-
lieye they will go slowly. An opin-
ion nreyails that there is too mucn
.politics in the matter of appointing
the weighers; this, if true, should
not he. We need in this business
men of experience, who have, II
NAV use the expression, genius tor
such things, and when they are found
they should be retained indefinitely
The movement to consolidate the
schools of Stateburg township has

concerned the Stateburg High School.
Notwithstanding there will be

ing will be accomplished If we except
the loss of equilibrium and temper
of a few.
Crop Conditions.
Cotton, what there is Of 1t, is be-
ing gathered in fine condition, but,
mark you, the crop is short, and the
nearer harvest, the shorter it is
found.
Peas are not as good as usual,
and corn generally is short.
The best cotton by far your CORES
ponde,1t has seen in thu county is that
of Mr.. E. E. Rembert, who, by the
way, has a mild case of typhoid fever.
