A ense came up last week before
Trial Justice I. O. A. Connor, which
i.s invested with some public interest
as one of the first trials of the law
for the protection of employers in the
services of their bauds. The case
was bei ween two farmers of Cow
castle Township. The one had em
ployed a hand in the service of|
another for which he was brought
before the Justice under the recent
act of the Legislature. The result
was that the defendant, or party em
ploying the hand that was already in
the service of his neighbor, was
lined $25 and costs. This may serve
as a timely warning to all, of the
ellieaev of the new statute.

sired It) revive the pleasant memories
of the past. We hope the services j
of the day may prove a blessing to
the Society and to bur people.
The performances of Blind Tom
on Saturday night were truly mar
velous. He is, indeed, a mystery
oast finding out. For a grimacing
idiot, to all appearances, to perform
the most intricate compositions of
music with perfect accuracy and
masterly skill is a phenomenon
worthy of study and research.
There is no end to Blind Tom's mem
ory, and his power of imitating and
reproducing sounds seems to have no ;
limit. His playing of '?Yankee
Doodle" with his left hand, "Fishers j
Horn 1'ipe*1 with his right hand and
singing "Tramp'* at tin; same time is
simply wonderfKl. His battle of
Mauattsas is grand. His spelling of
Anything held tip in the hull from the
touch of the keys oh the piano proves
the marvelous development of his
sense of so:;nd. All in all he is an
enigma?a phenomenon of nature
loo mysterious to unravel.
We would, t all tlic attention of all
interested to the r-uggoslibh in anoth
er column to the Trustees of public
schools in our County. It is particu
larly the case with the colored
schools that the parents of t.hc chil
dren think it necessary to take them
away from tin* schools as scon
as the working season commences.
From this cause i; is difficult to keep |
these schools full after the Ist cd'
Martdi. There will be a surplus of
funds in some school districts which
should be used hi fore t he commence
ment of the hext school year in No
vember. To take it up in September
and October and haven long and
continuous term next schob) year
would seem to be lust; but I lie objec
tion is made that these are the cotton
picking months in which the little
ones arc so useful and profitable.
Hence the suggestion of J uly and
August when there is little or no
work doing in the crops.
