Our Newberry Letter. One of our noted farmers remarked a few days ago that he had 38 mules standing in the stables and negroes 1 in proportion, all of which had to be fed. He said if the rain continued much longer, he certainly would have to be taken down to the big house in - Columbia. The saying goes you can judge a man from the company he keeps, more especially the company of ladies; that actions speak9 louder than words; that our Editor of the Herald and News would be more pleasant if he would take unto himself a helpmeet. Mr. Editor, it would be gratifying to know the intentions of our Legislators. Some years ago when they enacted a law that in a civil case where there are two parties interested and had counsel employed, and the trial was by jury at the conclusion of the case, the counsel on the winning side walks up to the foreman of the jury and hands him one dollar. We know of our own knowledge that at at our la9t spring term of the Court of Common Pleas, one juror acted as foreman on four different cases and after court adjourned sine die, he went to the Clerk of Court and asked him what must he do with the money? The Clerk replied that he had no authority over it. What was the intention of the legislators when they pass ed such a law? Let soma good, openhearted public servant explain this Jaw to the readers of the Dispatch in a few words, provided that it is agreeable to the Editor. B. B. H.

Batesbiirg, March 21th?One of the most delightful and instructive meetings in the' history of the Lexington County Teachers' Association was held in the auditorium here Saturday. Those of the teaching force of the county who were not here missed a rare treat. It was indeed a meeting well worth attending and there was none present who did not reap much benefit from the talks and discussions. The Association met promptly at eleven o'clock and was called to order by the acting President. After a short invocation by Prof. Seawell of the school here, Dr. E. 0. Ridgell, speaking for the people of Batesbnrg, wel- ' ' corned most heartily $he Association to the town. Prof. Black of the Lexington Schools responded in a few well chosen words and in his usual happy.manner. At this point the subject matter of the meeting was taken up, namely; "The Teaching of Reading in the Public Schools.'' The discussion was opened by the reading of a splendidly prepared paper by Miss Williamson of the school here, after which the meeting wa9 turned into a Round Table talk, which was most interesting. This was entered into with much spirit, the different teachers taking part by giving their experience, teliiDg of the defects in the teaching of reading, and discussing ways and means of correcting these defects and raising the standard of reading in th'e schools. The second part of the program was filled by Prof. Colcock, Dean of the Department of Mathematics at the University of S.C. "Dnrtf Lrnow in of- linw tn n nnpfil j JL KJ I . VViUV/V? -tkiiv **v ft v^ wf/rw7" I to the teachers, and iii a few minutes those who had not known him before felt that he was indeed one of them. This meeting of the Association was planned with the veiw of having the pnblic present and there was qnite an audience composed of the people of Batesburg and surrounding country. The teachers of the State realize that if they canget the pnblic to takj an interest in the school work, it will I mean much to the schools and to the State, so tor thi9 reason the next meeting of the Association which will be held in Lexington is to be turned into an educational rally. One of the most pleasant features of the program was the music furnished by the girls of the High School. After the exercise had been concluded all present were served with s picnic luncheon by the ladies of the town. Letters Uncalled For.

News from Irmo. | Woodrow WiJson says he can tell ! when it is going to rain by his razor ? * strap and the State suggested that the M Weather Man borrow it. Perhaps he | v 1 _ tried and failed, and the weather has been behaving in such manner f r the 1 past couple of weeks that the Weather c Man ha3 been unable to keep tab on n it in advance and he has become disgusted and resigned. a Easter came early this year, and it c w,as not much appreciated by the la- h dies as it was too soon for new hats d and dresses. I guess it was all the c more appreciated by the masculine c part of the creation who wear long j: trousers and whose pockets generally a suffer along about Easter. Of course, a they will get us anyway, - but it will v not come in such a lump. Fertilizer is moving now with a rush, and it looks like the farmers mean business.
