On the con trary, I wanted to see them sneceed, and I am glad they are suceeeding, and I would not do one thinig to retard their logress. I believe in building up and rlot tearting down.

They are sent free to any Citizen of this State. The two ent stamp requirel to ask for thern is all they cost. They tell plainly the results from the use of the diflferent varieties of seed and diierent kinds of fertilizer and iethods of preparation. Sei for thern now so that you may begin the work for next crop with the advantaga- of scien tilie knowledge and actual exp'riment and test. I teneber that wheat has become a cash crop here now. The roller inills will take all that can be grown in this part of the State.-G reenville News. This is good advice to the farmers of Newberry. We believe that one rea son we have not mule good crops of whe.tt has been that we did not use the proper fertilizer or the right kind of seed. We ai'e anxions to see our farm es give wheat gt owing a good1 anl lion e,t trial, even as it money crop . ILong before we thought of Ibuilding roIle" mills in Newhertry we urcu our farm er"s to grow wheat for their own con suniption. Ittt now, as the News so; gests, wh cat will be as ready ioney 4rI,p as cotton.

TIe Trusteee of Newberry School I)letrlct MINko Their Annual Report-Tiho ltullding Must bo KnIarged for thwDouuzdury Street School -The Citizens' Meeting and the Annatnl Electioan. According to previous notice in these columns, the citizens' meeting to hear the annual report of the Board of Trus tees of the Newberry (iraded Schools, was held in the Mayor s olice at the opera house on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. The attenidanec at the meeting was too small to make it necessary to go Into the opera house, and as the eight chaiIs in the Mayor's ofliee would con fortably accommodate all those pres ent. they were invited into that oflice, where the meeting was held. Sometimes we find ourselves wonder ing whether it is indifference, careless ness, or sinply a lack of public inter est on the part of the citizens, that causes them to absent themselves from meetin^gs which are called to consider matters of grave ilnlportance to the whole citizenThip of the city. Yet, we are forced to the conclusion that it is taken for granted by them that the Graded School is a fixed institution in the city, and that their presence are not necessary. hilis we believe is true. We have in our Graded School one of the best in the State. 'T'he Superintendent is a con pf,tent and able educator and a good disciplinarian and he has an eIlicient corns of teachers as his assistants. The Hoard of Titustees is composed of men or ability business men of the city meni who study every interest, of the schools and their welfare, and under whose guardianship the schools will continule to grow and pvosper; yet they would appreciatc being met on half way grotunds by the citizens so that the suggestions of iilprovenents on the huildings and inl the schools ight not fall on deaf cars, by siimply realing the annual report, and recommendations to empty chairs. We speak for the '.'irus tees oil our oWII accotunht in this matter. They have no complaint to o1ler' as we know of. but these lieetings should lie attended by soie'c.itizens at least, or called o:f. What,'s the use to make re ports and nobody present to report, to? What's the ise to make rocoillnenda tions and nobody present to act oil thit-i We would suggest that these citizens' lleetitngs be doie away with. The an iual reporlt can be published in the pa pers, and when any one desires further information, the Board would gladly furnish it. Then this matter of holdt ing an aiitnnuai election on the question of the two-mill tax should he abolished and the tax made permnanent, and we are glad to see that sonic action on this line is proposed. But, to the meeting. L'resident (eo. It. Croier wits ilade chairman and J. W. Earhatrdi, secretary. Mr. Alan .1ohistone, chairmian of the Iioard of Trustees, stated that the ob jet, of 1he meeting was t,o hear tile an. - inal replort, of thie I board and read the folliow ing repiort: lil'OR'r Ol.'

The Pirst Grade room was full to overilu%wing-too full tot the best, work i one teacher, and too full for the complete ph,t"ical comfort of the pupils. It has been necessary for the past three years to use the Library as -a school-room for the Tenth Grade. This grade Is usually small: but the Library is too small for even a small number of pupi 's to do good work in, and is other wise unsuited for a school-room. It, Is there the hooks of reference, as well as the hooks for readincr, are kept, and it ought at all tiner to be easily accessible to any? pupii or teacher who wishes to use it. It c:.nnot be so now without fre quen t interr ' tions to the work of the Tenth Grade. '1'he plans suggest themselves to the Ilert'd: either to secure a building of th ree rooms in another locality suitable for school purposes for the use of the Iliigh Se ool Department, consisting of the -:ighthi, Ninth and Te",l'i Grades, or to enlarge the loundary S; reet build ig by the addition of two recitation rint"tS and aIl ttssemtbly roomii or attdito riumt. The latter plan wolid provide what is so tuucih needed-a place for the cnt iro selool to assetmble daily fot open. ing exercises, til" for frccueunt school Ltcntertaitttiletis, lectures, etc. The I ;oard has not felt autht oriczed be the eon llition of the lioanccs to ima;ke the de sired additiolt: bot calls thlie attention of the citizens to te neel, hoping they m1ay soon .eo their way open to under take the work. Additional school room is an itnperative neces:,ity of the near futtute. We believe the schools are necomt 1lishtintg il an ettient degt'ee the great purpose of their establish ment---the ed ueation and training of the children of the commtunity, anl we ask the eartest and hearty co-operation of all citizens in our .telorts to bring their work up to the very hiighest point of cllicieticy and use filn-ss iit ainabl(: and int furtherance of this end we most earnestly invito the frequent inspection of te work in of the schools by the patrons and taxpayers. The Iloar:a is pleased to be able to state that since thei' last, annual report they have ir' 'hased and rtieti"cd live hundred dol.as woehi of the Ionds is sied by the citizens for the purpose of erecting the I;otulary Street. School btildin(g, atld have thereby reduced the intterest-beatring r.chool debt, of the dis trict, by that atinouit.
