FRANK FOOSIIE, - - - EDITon TERMS, IN ADVANCE : One Y ........................$1.50 ix:Mo ti ........................ .75 WG"SBORO, S. C. Wedaesddy. June 1 - - 1902 Pistolless people will be the order in South Carolina after July 1 provided none other than the regulation size are used. The raising of $100,553 for the endowment ef a chair of eco nomics in Washington and Lee University is the way in which the friends of that institution have-shown their appreciation of the services of the late President WilliarQ L. Wilson. Senator Henderson, of Aiken, has resigned his position in the State senate in order to enter the race for the United States senate. While this may be very good poli ties, we can not see any impro priety in the holder of one office while running for another. An interesting case has been decided in Greenville as the re sult of which a keeper of a res taurant has been made to pay a heavy fine for .the sale of game in violation of the game law. The suit was brougl.it at the instance of a game association. There is need of more such associations. The South Carolina buildng at the Charleston Exposition has been offered to the city of Charles ton for $250, provided it be util ized for a permanent exposition. The exposition grounds have already been l)ought for the pur pose of a park and many valua ble exhibits have been secured for a permanent exposition. It is not, an uncommon thing in going through a rural cou. community to pass a school build ing the doors of which are open and the windows up. Trustees should take better care of the property entrusted to them. We trust that the trustees of Fair field county will see to it that their school buildings are well cared for during the holidays. The practice of paying the ex penses of teachers attending sum mer schook is properly becoming more general. It is a form of increasing the teachor's salary, and a good one it is too. When - a teacher is willing to do addi tional study for better prepara tion for the next year, then there should lie an additional compen sation. The assurance that the expenses of attendance upon the summer school will be paid will insure a .teacher's attendlance in many instances where it would otherwise be impossible. After repeated requests on his part the board of trustees of Wofford College has accepted the resignation of Dr. Carlisle as its president. The very reluctance with which the resignation was accepted is but a slight expres sion of the appreciation the board has had for the work Dr. Carlisle has done for this institution, with which he has been so closely connected from its very organiza tion. Words are inadequate to measure the greatt work Dr.-Car lisle has done for Wofford. He retires from the presidency of that institution with the admira tion of the Sttt that gave him birth, and with the est-:em of th~e citizens of the city in which lie cast his lot and love of the. thousands of old stud -nts whose good fortune ha- been to sit at his feet. May many years mo:e be spared him. The que.stion of determi ,i whether Ninnsboro is to hi m electric lights, is niow squi o I before the voters. A mnajo;irv the freeholders have f Lvo red th<~ ordering of an eleetiom, whi 1 will be held July 8. Tue bok of registration will be open lili June 28. The proposition is to n issue $10,000 in bonds for in stalling an electric light plant, provided so much bie necess.niy. In order that this proposition mity be voted on intelligently, the voters will want light on electric lights, (specially as to their cost as compared with - the present system.~ The acting in tendant has-be< n asked to give information on this point, and wer hope to be able to furnish our raaders with the same in the next~ issue. Oun general principles we mr nosi1.artilv in favor of such an improvement, provided it' is wcithin our rmch-a fact we ope 1 will be proven by the experience E of'otier towns. Our columns are t open for a full and open discus sion of the pros and cons of elec- r trie lights for Winnsboro. 1 Roicksome Ridgeway Last week Misses Bessie Mc Master and Mamie Ellison and Gregg McMaster paid Miss Jen nie Thomas a flying visit. In s their honor she gave a most do lightful "trolley ride." the car stopping at the stations of Cro conoleville, Checkersville, Jack Straw Station and Pingpongville, wheie the passengers alighted, trying their skill at different games, the charming conductress I scoring for eech. At the close of the evening the "excursionists" Iere landed in a parlor, where that delightful "poetry of food that appeals to all with a melting austerity and soft hardness" was served by dainty maidens in white. It was fou' upon comparing c score cards that Mrs. James W. Team and Mr. W. Herbert Ruff, Jr., had tied for the prize. They were hurried back to Pingpong ville, and after an exciting game Mr. Ruff was declared to be suc cessful and was awarded a lovely ash-tray. A number of the ladies met at Mrs. W. Herbert Ruff's on Tues day afternoon and organized a social club to meet every two weeks. Mrs. Charles P. Wray was elected president, Miss Jen nie Thomas vice-president, and Mrs. James W. Team secretary. We are glad to see Rev. Hil liard Hartin out again, and hope his health is improved. Mr. R. A. Meares has moved his engine to the "gin lot" and will soon be ready fo: work.

That school pienic which we stated two weeks ago was to celebrate the close of the Feaster ville school was one of the nicest, I ever saw, just enough people to be pleasant and the dinner-you should just have seen it; the table fairly groaned and all that was w .uting .was a few more people to eat it, the crowd we had could not be.dnr to eat half of it.

A good garden is ertainly a great help to a family md is something that every farm r should strive to have. March corn, generally speak ng, is somewhat above the aver-. ige. In some instances it is very Ene. In some instances it has been somewhat injured by the bud-worm. Some of our farmers have commenced to lay-by their orn. The cotton crop is iooking well ndeed, better than it has done beretofore in years. The recent ;ool nights have, however, been ery unfavorable for it, though it has not been seriously impaired.

AicausterCo.~ The board. of trustees of Clem son College has refused to accept the resignation of President Hartzog.' The -following state ment, which wats .unanimousl3 adopted by tlie board, has been givenl out: "The board of trustees of Clem son College with a full realiza tion of the gravity of.the issues involved, and a sense of our pri mary obligation to consider only the interests of this great insti tution, have given most careful considtytion- to the resignation of President Hartzog now before us.

We recallt the faithful,' eflicidnt -and satisfactory maimei- in >which President Hartzog has -nfor five years past administered the business interests of .thegollege. Bearing all these fsets in mind and with a realizing sense of the grave responsibilities resting us, it is the deliberate opinion of the boa,rd that the resignation of . Presiden~t Hartzog should not be accepted: Therefore be it "Resolved, That this board re spectfully requests and - urges President Hartzog- to withdraw his resignation and contiriue his valuale services to this- insti tu-4 tion."
