AN INTERESTING ARTICLE.
Tie Newberry Herald and News very
innocently copies from the New York
Sun, or at least, credits to tliat paper,
an interesting article on the subject of
South Carolilna's royal relies--the mitace
aud sword of state that are still used on
cortain occasions. That the article is
not without merit is evidenced by its
appearance In the columns of the Sun,
and again in our Newberry conteinpo
rary, but as a matter of fact, both of
those papers have been impoed on to
this extent-the article in ( tuestionl was
written for the Anderson Journal over
two months ago, and was writtun here
in out office by one of on' regular stall',
and appeared in our issue of .January
29th last. Somebody hogged that art-i
(l and doubtless got pay for it from
the New York Sui.--Anderson Jour
nal.
We beg the pardon of the .Journal.
The article was scissored from isome
paper with the credit to it. We always
try to give the proper cred it. The Joui
nal Will notiCe that in a recent issue of
The Herald and News a sketch of Jus
tice Pope was printed from its colinins
and proper credit. givei. And we in
this way make amendes for the other
omission which was not, oll error.

Nita is right. There is nteed ini this
county of sonme implrovemnent in ouri
mail service in the rural districts. The
mail that now goes from Priosp1erit.y to
Caldwell should be extendoed to Whit
mire, a distance of fifteen miles more,
and two 'or thtee morie p)ostotilCes onl t.ho
route would prtove a great conivenientce
to the p)eople in th at sectiotn of the coun
ty and then too it might he made a dai
ly mail, goitng from Prosperity to Whit
mire one day atnd back the next. The
cost wvould be very small. atnd t,he con
venience very gr'eat.
If the people of that sction desire
such an atrrangemuent we will take
pleasure in pr'epar'ing the poetition and
doing wvhat we can to get the matter'
through. ________

The rain and the storm fury is st,ll

We have been having a little touch
of it in this section but nothing so fat'
to be compared with the western stornms
and floods,
We regret the trouble in the St.
I'aul school and do not just sco how the
matter is to be settled through the
newspapor, and we trust our friends on
both sides of t,be controversy will not
print any more about it. Wo wish it
were so that every school in the coun
ty could run for in11e months with a
good teacher at the hcad of each.
More and better and longer toren
schools Iin the rural districts is the ed
ucational need of today. Of collages
anld higher institutions we have plenty
and especially is South Carolina top
heavy and tax heavy with such insti
tutions. We have preached this doc
trine for the past ten years. It is no
new thenc--improve aid lengthon our
conmnon schools.
It is not wise for an oltsider to in
terfere ini a fainily quarrel, but fooling
a IcuCIliar interest in this school, It
beintg the first school this writer over
attended, we venture this suggestion:
Let,all the patrons, including the trus
tees, get togetliet and employ a first
Class teacher and run the school for
nin months and not juarrel over $16
or a four months term. Supploment
tile public fuad with tuition fees. You
arel. able to do it anud you have plenty
children to make the burden light, and
if you will all got togother, trustecs
and patrons, it will be done and you
will never regret it, and then you can
all rejoice together.

We he'g I littlei more space in your
paper in reply to an article from Mr.
L. 1. lIptlig. If we were not accused
of speaking falsely In our article of
March 23rd we would drop the school
Imatter for the present at Icast, but as
we are placed in Ia false ligrht in sOveral
plaves by Mr. IKpting we will endeavor
to set ourselves right in th eyes of
those interested.
We stated that our school had only
run111 four months. Of Cou'.0 WO know
that the scholastic year begins.1 luly Ist,
and we know that we had a two months
sumlmiller school, taught by H. ). Selse
an(] he was pIaid )Id moni-y that would
have beenl used to paY t,he pliblic term
of I895-1ti had not our school been
closed onil account of measles the last
of .1lanuatly or first of Pubrulry. Mr.
I. 11. Welch heing our teacher at that
thine, therefore we still claim that our
school was-1 inl sessionl only four inonths
of t.he last, puli termq-, beginining the
la ter prlt of (k-tober andl eding the
thI of Narch01.
AS .\r. 1pting has1made so manily
assertiolns and explanations we think
he should have told why heoordered 0111
school closed lastof .1lanualry when there
was $;"5 school funds on laud? and our
t,echor did close the school and went
holie, aind t,his WHas tle begininning of
this school trouble. We objected to
closinl i the school at that time of year,
Ialid went to Suiperinltelidt. of 1.1duta
tiol to have our school continued,
whlich lie (id], ordering Mrl. E4jpting to
oIWtI tl.I school again, which le did
for a month. l-inding at,the expiiat,ioni
of the m1ontLI t,Hut, we still had a sur

t.hiem. We will stat.e that the Supeirin
tenduenit of ICducat,Ion advised Mr i.
I'Cptinig to r'iun the school until funds
We know as well as Mr. Epmting that,
*161.25 will not run two schools for' two
months, but, we would rather our1 school

paid (out $13.75 to have blacks put in

etc., after winiter' wvas over' and school

the 51ako (of illiterate land r'entors'
childr'en. We will say her'e that Mr'.
lCptinug ients land himnself, but that has
noth11ing to do with the school subject,.

Two young men of the neighborhood
wont out calling rocontly. One had had
bad luck and had to call for a needle
and thread as soon as he reached the

of being teased that she wouldn't comie
in. That was worse than bad luck,
don't you think so, young man?
An effort is being made to establish a
postoilice in our community. That
should have been done long ago. Why
should not Uncle Saml pr-ovide solne
conveniences in this direction for those
in the rural districts as well as so many
for our well favored townsmen. If our
legislators and con g ressmen Would just
help their country constituents a little
miore they would not so often be forced
to (eem them "country crackers."
A gentleman near here bought a
horso some tiie ago anld because .It
kicked occasionally traded it olf for a
nice looking mule und thereby certain

The mule now has all of ils feet tied

men to plough him. When theso kind
of animals are traded someone must get
the worst of the br-gain.
