10 the last issue of The Times, men
tio1 was made Of the coming OF the

ule points, it consists of seven cars. it is
a farm on wheels, two OF the cars exhibit
the work OF Winthrop college. the rest

cattle, hogs and sheep. Ecerywhere this
train has been SO far. the people throng-
ed TO see i., we hope that the people OF
Clarendon will be no exception 70 The
rule. This is an eXhioltionwhich viii not
cost a penny to see. and 1t is ooe-s5St
will do more TO educate the masses than
any scheme we know OF. We regard the
coming OF this exhibition train from the
two foremost state educational lnstltu-
tions one of the finest moves that has
ever been made to bring the tax payers
into closer relation with the schools
they are being taxed to maiotaln.- Every
farmer in the county should come, aud
if possible bring the ladies and children
of his household, there will be much OF
interest TO them in the Winthrop eXhib-
it. Rementec the date. next Thursday

Aside from the arson case against Mr..
n. Davis of Foreston tried ic the court
last week the only cases amounting TO
was four liquor cases, and
these resulted in acquittal for the three
tried, and one plead guilty. The testi-
mony against the three tried, the State
relied upon the testimony of the detec-
tives, ont the jury placed 40 confidence
in that sort Of testimony. In the case OF
J. &. johnson. colored. of Pinewood, a
detective swore positively that ne
bought liquor from the defendant, and
the more the prosecution endeavored
to show the jury the guilt OF the accus-
ed the more it failed 10 do so, TO such
an extent that those representing the
goS up and stated TO the
court, that it was evidentth detectives
had this case mixed up with some other
case aud that it would consent to a ver-
dict of ''not guilty" the judge ordered
the jury TO write verdict accordingly.
II looked to US that the prosecution had
gotten sick of its own detective witness
es. This does not mean that there will
be lesup, or that the violaJors of the
liquor laws viii be allowed to have a
free rein, it simply means that the peo-
pie will rely upon the local authorities
for the enforcement of the law and when
a party is charged With the sale OF liq-
uor and there IS proof, a conviction will
result.

the number OF applications
already made, and which are being daily
made to DR.. J. y Zeigler for tickets,

boiling heat. Bryan is coming here rot
