The. people of this section celebrated the Fourth by a picnic on the river at Punch Howl, The Paw ley school opened on the (ith inst and is progressing nicely with an enrollment of fifty under the ellioicnt mamigement of Prof ;S. J. Wall, of Marion. Mr Wall has ibeen with ns before, and judging from his work then, we feel sure that the work of the school will be a success. On Saturday evening tho 11th inst the patrons and friends of the school had the privilege of hearing some very int.erestii:g__addresses on education. The first speaker was Prof Wall. He first showed the importance of higher education in tho rural communities than the conditions that now exist throughout the State and what an advantage the rural high school would bo to the farmers in educating their sons and daughters. The next speaker was Mr H. K Cook, candidate for the /legislature. Mr Gook spoke on the ^evolution of the common school, lie .emphasized the fact that tho common schools were insuflicieot to educate .the farming class. Wanted them to have a proscribed cotirso of study arranged so that they would be preparatory to the high school. Said that the mishaps of many farm era was ignorance. He wanted one high school in the county for the reason that the conditions aro not suitable to maintain a high school in every district and that the farmers could easily maintain their children while at school it there was only one. Mr J. II. James, candidate for supervisor, followed Mr Cook. He also advocated higher education and showed that good schools were essential to promote progressive schools. Cor.

Wilson, and who has by provision of law, been transferred to the newly formed Twelfth Circuit, has received tin-, following letter from Judge Chas. G . Daut/.lor, who presided at the spring term of the court of the Third Circuit, which is the last that Mr Wells ollieiated at. before being transferred to this new circuit. These above mentioned spring terms were very heavy and entailed a great deal of work upon Solicitor Wells, and Judge Dautz ler's voluntary letter is a testimonial of the manner in which Solicitor Wells acquitted himself. Ho is, and should be, very proud of this letter. It is as follows: Orangeburg, S. C , July 12, I DOS Hon Walter H. Wells, Florence, S. C. My Dear Sir: ? Ever since the conclusion of the spring, 1!M)8, term of the sessions court in the old Third Circuit, it has been my intention to write you, for the purpose of commending you for the ellicient and faithful discharge of your duties as solicitor of that circuit.

To the Editor of the Herald: Kindly extend my thanks to vourl anonymous contributor, u KVee for All," for bis complimentary reference to my dictionary. Curb his ticsire to lead away from the subject of the Grand Jury Investigation, ft is almost too evident On this painful subject of investigation, it is observed, you control your anonymous correspondents entirely too well. The contribution of this one to tho gayety of the situation is well nigh perfect. He has evidently been to a feast of words and brought away more than the scraps. I have really enjoyed his freshly phrased, smoothly (lowing diction, llis rather harsh distortion of the name I can, of course, forgive in one who has none of his own. 1 very much fear, Mr lOditor, that your apparently settled aversion Uf printing the names of your contributors will deprive of deserved literary fame some poor, ploddingdevil fast, losing himself in a mistaken profession.

Mr. Kditor please allow 1110 si to respond to the inhuman treatment published in a recent issue. I Relieve that (Hod has the same power to heal now as ho ever had, but he does not need a middl -man to apply it. Very true it is when Christ, was here in person on earth, he did works that, no other man had done or over will do to convince tlie world that ho was Clod our Saviour, but. when he finished his work and made salvation complete knowing that he would have strong opp >si ion in planting his Church ho also j^ive this power to his apostles When they died this po\vor faded out. It does not follow that men can perform them now, if they can wliv do they fail. Referring to the inhuman act of the so called Ifolincss sect in last issue it is evident that one of tin; preaches arose and utmouue'd 1o his audience that the child wonhi he healed, having an inspiration from God through the Holy Spirit that the child would he well t>V morning, hut yet it died at 1 p m next day. Now Mr Editor it is evident that God either made a failure or he lied on the Holy Spirit and we know that God never has nor never will mako'a failure. 1 My God what shall we say?
