A Sylvan Retreat It was the writer's pleasure a J few afternoous ago to visit the home of Mrs. Charlotte S. Guer ard, which is an ideal country vil la. The home is almost enveloped iu beautiful evergreens, shrubbery and vines of many different, varie ties. Aud the long piazza is a veritable bower of lovely hothoui plants-and other flowers in full bloom. Despite the intense heat and long drought the magic hand of Mrs. David Strother, who is a great lover of flowerB, bas made tbf-m bioom profusely. The beau ty cf this home is only exceeded by its hospitality. Welcome, Thrice Welcome. Hon. Thomas H. Rainsford and his family, who contemplate mov ingto Edgefieid early next spring, will be valuable acquisitions to our social and commercial life. On Monday last, for the sum of j $4,250.00, spot cash, the "Ward law place" was formally conveyed to Mr. Rainsfcd by thn Thoe. J. Adams estate. Soon after Col. F. N. K.

We welcome, thrice wel come, in advance, the coming of j Mr. Rainsford and his family. 'rotracted Meetings. In every church in the county protracted meetings are being held or will be held duriug this mouth. The Lord has greatly blessed our people and they should give him thanks. While storms and floods have been visited upon mauy sect ions of the country our count} has been signally blessed.

"Forsake not the assem Dliug of yourselves together as the nanner of Borne is." Dal led to North Caroliua. Rev. L. B. White bas been elect ed principal of the Clyde (N.C.) Associational School and has also been called to the pastorate of the Baptist church at that place. This.is a well deserved compli ment to this young man who has bei n a hard student and a faith ful worker in the Lord's viueyard. Thia will necesssitate his resigna tion as pastor of Stevens' Creek, Antioch and Horn's Creek. Rev. Mr. White is greatly beloved by the congregations of theBe church es aud the severance of these ties will cause genuine regret on the part of both pastor and people. He will enter upon bis new field about September 1st. inspection of Convicts. Hon. John W. Mobley, of Wiuus boro, and Hon. A. K. Sanders, of Sumter couuty, acting as a com mittee from the directors ol the penitentiary, made a n official inspection last ?Yedr i day of the state convicts, only four in number, that are employed by the couuty for road working. They were greaMy pleased with the condition, treatmout, etc., of these ouvicts. One of the above named gentlemen remarked to the writer that road working in thit county must le pretty expensive, stating that he saw one guard guarding two coinicts while fifteen could be guarded just as easily. Supervisor Self knows bow to tave roads well and economically work td, so we d') not believe such a condition will long exist. A Brilliant Reception. The home of Hon. J. C. Shep pard was a scene of enchanting beauty on Friday evening last.

In addition to the regular lectures by the professors of law of the South Car olina College, the trustees and faculty are pleased to be able to announce for the coming session a very attractive series of lectures to be contributed by some of the leading members of the Bench and Bar of South Carolina. Among those who have consented to deliver one or more lectures to the law classes of the College are: Hon. Charlea H. Simonton, U. S. Circuit Judge; Hon. William H. Brawley, U. S. District Judge; Hon. Y. J. Pope, Chief Justice of South Carolina; Hon. C. A. Woods, Associate Justice; Hon. Eugene B. Gary, Associate Justice; Hon. Edward McCrady. Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Hon. G. Duncan Bellinger, Hon. S. J. Simp son, Hon. J. P. Carey, and Hon. Andrew Crawford. The trustees ano faculty feel that in securing the avsUtance of these dis tinguished judges and lawyers they have accomplished something that will prove of the-greatest benefit to those taking the "law course in the South Carolina College. ; The number of those enrolled in the law department during the last two years-has been.the largest in the history of the college, and the hope is entertained that the prospect of these additional lectures, may still further increase the growing number of law students. . The great value of the training af forded by schools of law has been too thoroughly demonstrated to render necessary any arguments in their sup port. The day of preparation for the bar by solitary study in a lawyer's office has practically passed. Everyone familiar with the working of a law school must have been impressed with the increased interest and zeal that re sult from the mere association of young men who have come together for the common purpose of studying law. The daily discussions of questions of law, not only with the professors, but also with each other, beget an enthusiasm for the law which possibly, in some in stances, could never have been acquired otherwise. The advantage of attending a profes sional school in the State in which a man is to practice his profession is in no case more obvious than in that of a lawyer. Besides the familiarity gained with the decisions and statute iaw of thc State, the fi iendships that he forms at such a school add very materially to his future usefulness as a citizen. The career of lawyers as a class ls more apt to be of a public nature than that of those engaged in anv other profession oe business. Not only are all of the judges of the State drawn from the bar, but the occupants of the legislative and executive offices are also drawn very largely from the same source. As so many of the members of the legal pro fession are naturally destined to public careers, it is of no little importance that the young men who have decided to become lawyers should come into close touch with other young men of their own State who have chosen th? same life-work. ' The most lasting friendships are not infrequently formed during the part of a man's life that is usually devoted to preparation for the bar; and it is un fortunate if this period should be spent in a State other than that in which he is to live. Several years spent at a pro fession school in another State some times find the student so completely cut of toueh with the young men of his own State that when Ue returns to practice his profession he finds himself laboring under a serious disadvantage, which in some instances is never over come. . A law school, however, should be patronized not alone by those intending to practice law. There is hardfy a call ing in life for which one would not be better prepared by having taken a course in law. Almost .everyone who iias made an earnest study of the law !wfll agree with Burke that it is a ^'Bclence which does more to quicken ,a*nd invigorate the understanding than fall other kinds of human learning put together." The hope ls indulged, there fore, (hat the attendance upon the law school of the South Caroona College imay include some who have not de tg^jSI??T^tr-S^e law their profession. rCoTanabia as ?i?^?iflital of the State presents many advantagj^?A^'L^w ptBdent The sessions ofl Kernt Court of the State, of tbHH?rcult C?vala, and of the Feder?

BUCK-DRAUGHT] ^SflPATlOH Constipation is nothing more than a clogging of the howel3 , " and nothingless than vital stag nation or death if not relieved. If every constipated sufferer could realize that he is allowing poisonous filth to remain in his system, he would soon get relief. Constipation invites all kind of contagion. Headaches, bilious ness, colds and many other ail ments disappear when consti pated bowels are relieved. Thed forel's Black-Draught thoroughly cleans out the bowels in an easy and natural manner without the purging of calomel or other vio lent cathartics.
