Harlem Institute.
Special attention is called to the :
announcement of the above named
institution of learning, to be found in
another column. Prof. J. W. Eiling
ton, the principal, needs no commen
dation at our hands, from the fact
that he is well and favorably known
throughout the State as an educator
of the highest order, with a well
stored and balanced mind, together
with long years of practical experi
i encc in the school room fits him pe
culiarly for the high and honorable
position as principal of the Institute.
The new building will be ready for
the fall term. It is large, well ventil • I
ated and admirably arranged for
school purposes. Now, parents, look
well to the future welfare of your
children. Send them to Harlem and
educate them, even it becomes neces
sary for you to deny yourselves some
of the luxuries and comforts. Let us
urge you not to allow your offspring
to grow up in ignorance, when such
inducements are offered for educa
ti n. Remember •‘learning i.< more
precious than gold" and more abid
ing.

When wo wrote you before we’
were a little disposed to grumble,
but we are not so now for we have
had mid are still having rain ; it is
one. long to be remembered too by
this scribe, for we came near get
ting one of our loved ones d.own
ed, in attempting to get some
stock homo which was cut off ny
high waters. Ho tried to cross
the creek by swimming and on
nearing the opposite bank, the
current was very swift and ho be
came frightened and tried to come
back, the fright and strong cur
rent was too much for him and he
cried for help and before we could
reach him he sank, but when he
came up papa was there and be
fore you could say scat ho was on
land. The strength of excitement
is wonderful and my boy to-day
needs no warning, that trip is suffi
cient and it was by my consent and
in my presence the attempt was
made, and now we feel thankful
to the Giver of all gifts lor his
mercy towards us.
It is still raining and we are rest
ing. Our plans are thwarted, for
we expected to take in the Minis
ters and Deacons and General
Meeting combined, which conven
ed at Rehoboth and expected a
good time, but while in m pro
poses God disposes mid its nil;
right.
It the rains have been ns hard
elsewhere as here, there is no tell
ing the damage done to corn on
low lands, which was very promis
ing up to this date, but its all right
any way and ns the world was not

courage and toil on expecting to
see better days and that soon too.
Judging flom the tone ot the
press, which seems to be'intent on
having the convicts of Georgia
quartered in the best of parlors

my mind it is oflering a premium
for crime. The law says punish
ull criminals when their guilt is
proven, and we say punish them
so tlmt it will throw a restraint on
all humanity and then wo may
hope to lessen crime and not till
then. We have known many a
criminal paid out of his scrape ami
turned scott free right on the spot
where the ciime was committed,
with all the privileges of a hired
man. This ought not to be so.—
What cures be for this? Not one

Rain, rain, rain !
We had one of the hardest rains
that has fallen for many years on
Tuesday night last.
Fodder pulling has started in
some parts of the Republic of Co
lumbia, but would suggest a delay
until the rain ceases.
Road working is in full blast,
let the good work go on.
’Tis with much regret that we
learn of the accident that befell
Dr. Sims and wife on Tuesday
last. J hey were near Bel-Air

by the train. Knowing his dread
of the smoke wagon the Doctor
got out and caught him by the bit,
but a sudden lunge freed him from
his grip and away ho went, thiuw
