COMPLIMENTS oRANGEBURG.
Mr.. Cappelmann Speaks of the Ed
ucational Rally.

The News and Courier says in its
issue of Thursday that Mr.. John D.
Cappelmann, who returned to his
home Tuesday from the educational
rally at Orangeburg, at which he
spoke by special invitation, express
ed himself as being delighted with
the growing city of Orangeburg and
reports great interest. on the part
of the people there in the matter
Of educational advancement.
"As an old school commissioner" !"
said Mr.. Cappelmann, II feel that l
may urge on the people of Charles
ton the Importance of attending, the
educational meeting here at CoIum-
bus Hall to be held tomorrow,
Thursday, night. beginning at 1880
o'clock. Charleston cannot afford to
be behind in anything appertatning
to education. The Orangeburg meet
ing was a splendid one, and Ger
tainly hope that Charleston will do
as we'll. Not only should every
teacher in the city be present, but
just 4as many. Of, the parents and
/ school children as possible. Our
!, meeting will be one of great inter-
/. est, not only : because of the local
and other speakers, but especially
because of the message which will
be brought by Prof. Hand, of the
faculty of the: State University.
Prof. Hand has travelled all over
the State and Is surprisingly we'll in
formed on the school situation in
every county in the State. I do
not know when / have listened to a
more timely. address than I heard
from this talented gentleman at
Orangeburg on Tuesday. If he re-
peats that address in Charleston not
one will go away disappointed, and
all, old and young, will hear points
of practical value:"r .o..aG /

DIPTEIERIA AT NORTH.
One Child Dies and an Epidemic is
~ 7.--< '.'.. -.
Feared by Many.

VSaECu ny U20Ays
A special dispatch from North to
The State says on Thursday night of
last week the seven-year.old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. IS. ]. Reed died
of what at first was thought tonsi-
litis but which later. proved to- be
diptheria. The child was given to
frequent mild attacks OF tonsihtis
and when taken sick the pareatsi
thinking it such, did not become
alarmed until she grew rapidly
worse. Dr. J.. M. Davis: was called
but. IN spite Of vigorous treatment
the little one died in few hours. !
DR.. Davis, though fearing it, but
being prevented a thorough evami-
nation, was not sure It was diphthe-
ria until two more cases in the fam
lily developed Sunday and another
Monday. These cases so far have
been easily managed and no imme-
diate danger is feared. A good
many children were exposed to the
child of the family before these de-
velopments and against these and
the sick ones strict quarantine has
been declared.
This dispatch says several fami-
lies have already gone and others
are going to the country to escape
the contagion. An epidemic seems
impending and much alarm is felt.
We hope the trouble will soon blow
over without doing further harm.
Several cases of diphtheria have
made their appearance in this city
from time to time, but they died
out without spreading. We hope
the cases at North will do the same
way, and the good people of our
little sister town will not be visited
by an epidemic of this too frequently
fatal disease.

A Blind Doctor.

1t seems that It would be i'm
possible for blind man to be a
doctor, but I will tell you of one

Carolina Institution for the Blind
BIT Cedar Springs. He is making
great progress along the lines of hts

1t has bean made clear that there
is nothing impossible for man or
woman blind There is only one
thing that blind person cannot do
and that is to see."

EVENTS AT NORTH.
High School Opens Sept. 1s-Tele-
pone System Being Prepared.

~
North. s. c., Sept. Especial:
The North High School will begin
its session Monday, September l3,
and it is hoped that many children
will take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity to get learning and prepare
themselves for college and to help
through life. The town of Nerth is
fortunate to have as superintendent
Prof. Ballentine, who is one OF the
best men that can be found to look
after the welfaree of the school.
There are few cases Of fever in
this community but none of them are
dangerous. 1t seems that the dry
weather has been the cause OF so
much ,illness, and rain would be
very welcome, for it is not only
necessary for our health but for
the crops also. Cotton Is opening
very fast and the people in this sec
ton are very busy picking, 30 that
they can get it on theS:market while
the price is good. The people, how
ever, are well satisfied with the mar
ket. and it is true that they will
make about as much clear as II they
were to make an overwhelming crop
and get low price. 50 50
