Mayor Goggans, in accordance with the instructions of the council, has issued a call fora meeting of the citizens of the town of Newberry to be held in the Opera House this. Thursday, afternoon to consider the question of hghting the town by electricity. This is an impor tant matter and if adopted means an increase in the expenses of the town. There should then be a full meeting. The Herald and News has for several years advocated this scheme. Our town is poorly lighted. No one will question that. And a part of the time the moon is depended upon to furnish the light and no allowance is made for cloudy nights. With this sort of light furnished by about 75 kerosene lamps the cost to the town is about $1,000 a r. Now the question is would it not becheaper to add another $1,000 to this and have better lights and have them every night in the year. It may cost less than $2,000 a year for elec tricity, and we are inclined to think that it would. Those who have experience in this matter say that for our town with its narrow streets and its many shade ees that the incandescent light will be better than the are light, and that for our town it would take about 80 of these incandescent lights. One com pany has offered to furnish them at $2: a year apiece, making for the 80 lights $2,000 a year. We are inclined to think that it will take about 100 of these lights which on this basis will cost $2,500 a year. But these figures are only'ap proximate. The details will have tc be arranged afterwards. Certainly the cost will not be greater than indicated above and probably less. We are inclined to think that ar. rangements can be made to secure thesE lights at a much less cost. We ought to have in connection with this' electric plant a system o: water works, and by combining the two the cost might be reduced. Not to go forward now will be to g< backward. Let us have better lights and mor* satisfactory lights. Now is the time to act. There is n< use for delay. The United States Senate has passec c . the bill providing for the free coinag of silver. Gov. D. B~. Hili, of .New York, has been nominated by the Democrati< caucus of the New York Legislatur< by acclamation for United States Sen ate. This secures his election. We sincerely regret that Gen. Bon ham has suffered himself to become defaulter in his officee. He is a young man and had a bright future before him. He was one of the most populal young men in the State. He had:a host of friends -in Negvberry and thern is universal regret at this sad misfor tune. The shortage is upwards o $,000. This amount he says will bi made good and the State will lost nothing, but the loss to him cannot hi estimated in dollars and cents. The particulars are published else where. A fuller statemeut is promisec from Gen. Bonham. It is a very dangerous thing to use for your own purposes money that does not belong to you, thinking that yoa can replace it. There was no intentiot to defraud on his part when he uses these funds. But they should no havy come into his hands at all. It is a matter of sncere regret tonu on Gen. Bonham's account personally The matter should have no politica effect. The disclosures would havy come who ever succeeded in office and the former administration cannot hi held responsible for the personal short comings of one man. King Kalakaua of the Sandwicl Islands died in San Francisco yester day morning. He came on a visit t< this country about two months ago and his death is attributed to too muck "wining and dining" in San Francisco Some of the newspapers are already endeavoring to begin a boom for Sena tor Hlamp~toni as a candidate for Gov. ernor in 1892. We think it is a littl4 premature. It is a long time until the campaign of lr892, and we beg that the people be given a little rest. It is timE enough for selecting candidates and booming thenm. And besides Gen Hampton does not need much boom ing. Po let us have a little rest, Hampton holds a warm place in the affection of the people of South Caro. lina, but there is a time for all things, and the time for bringing out guberna torial candidates Las not come yet. The Herald and News has always been a strong admirer of Gien. Hamp. ton and still is. but we are not yet working any gubernatorial booms, This is an ft ye:ar in politics in South Carolina.

[Written for the Herald and News.1 VI. With his education tinged with the folk-lore of the tribe, the prehistoric boy at last reaches manhood and is armed with a real bow and arrow. He is now admitted to the ranks of fight ing men. Nor is this picture of the earliest education an entirely imagina tive one, for it is almost exactly the training of a Mosaic youth of the day according to the narrative of the distinguished young explorer of Central Africa, Mr. Joseph Thompson of the Royal Geolographical Society of Great Britain. The first truths learned by the indi vidual and the race being physical truths, it would scarcely be unreason able to expect to find in every good cause of instruction a due appreciation of the value of the natural sciences. Professor Huxley has indeed said that the first experiment a man makes is a physical experiment, explaining his remark by comparing the principles of the suction pump to the first act of the new born babe. And throughout his entire life, man spends by far the great est portion of his time, either conscious ly or unconsciously, in contemplating and dealing with physical laws. As has already been seen, savage tribes meet this fact squarely and this train ing-sueh as it is-is confined to such knowledge as will be immediately re quired by the young. The education of the infant, in every stage of human progress, for a time at least, proceeds in a somewhat similar manner. For rea sons at first glance inexplicable, how ever, as soon as the child really begins to think, to observe, to experiment, to inquire-in a word, to have his curi osity aroused and his interests excited both in regard to himself and the world about him, his education undergoes a complete transformation. The off spring of civilized parents scarcely learns the lessons taught young sav ages before in many cases-physical laws are almost entirely ignored. Truths, for example, which, it taught during infancy would be of vital in portance to the health, happiness and usefulness of the child, are too often lost sight of; and the education of the pupil in life's school frequently pro ceeds in a manner both unnatural and irrational. Passing over the very earli est period of childhood, the most im pressive time of life, when the babe is often entrusted to those wholy unfit for their charge, we see the boy or the girl "starting to school" and not infre quently introduced to a systed of train ing which, if wilfully contrived to ex tinguish every latent spark of genius, could not succeed better. Almost every body has experienced this wonderful difference between the knowledge .gained before and after entering a school and that he is often unwillingly set to learn after crossi:g the threshold of a school-house. Right here, then, we stumble upon one of the great problems of modern education. Why this difference between the knowledge taught by the world and that taught by the school? To this question there are, of course, many answers. One answer may possibly be found in th. lack of interest in the subject by those most directly affected by it. Another answer may be found in the ignorant hostility sometimes encountered by all systems of education. The answer more nearly!approaching the.truth may however, be found in the .fact that we are still pursuing plans of instruc tion adopted centuries ago by people radically differently situated from our own. Assuming, however, that in our -notion, at least, there is no occasion for discussing the first two answers, let us briefly examine the third. Anything like the history of educa -tion would, of course, be the history of the human race. It would be neces sary, for example, to trace the slow steps by which man emerged out of barbarism. We should be obliged to know how the race acquired its knowl edge of language, written and spoken; of law, of government, oif science, of art, of everything that embellishes life, and makes it possible. But we may, tto some extent, catch gleams of the dawn of our civilization in "the cradle of human culture"-the Nile-land Egypt. While it is interesting to know that the home of the Pharaoh's was early the home of civilization, a knowledge iof Egyptian education would be of im portance to us mainly for the reason that Greece borrowed so much of the culture from the Nile. But although historians agree that Egypt was ever renowned as the school of wisdom; that the gigantic statues and columns of the land have long been the monuments of Iher inventive and artistic genius; that her colossal sphinxes and mysterious pyramids have for centuries been a riddle to the world; that her people were the first to establish libraries; calling them "the remedy for the dis Ieases of the soul"; that "the kingdom bestowed its noblest labors and finest arts on the improvement of mankind" and that her wonderful inventors "were scarcely ignorant of anything which -could contribute to accomplish the mind, or procure ease and happiness," yet we are in a great measure ignorant of what was taught in her schools and the methods of that institution. The -arts, the sciences, the civil professions must have flourished there. Tradition has it, moreover, that eminent Greeks like Homer, Pythagoras, Plato, Solon and -Lycurgus journeyed thither in search of truth; and Moses himself is said to have been "learned in all the ,wisdom of the Egyptians."I It seems, however, that knowledge -among the Egyptians was monopolized -by the priests and rulers. Writing, for expmple, was a mysterious secret known only perhaps to the hierarchy, its very name signitiying a sacred mys tery. 'Weber moreover is the authority for the statement that "the curse of the caste-system lay upon every exter nal manifestation of life, whilst super' stition and religious oppression gave a -gloomy coloring to existence, and dis turbed every cheerful and pleasurable feeling. The statue of Harpocrates, with his finger upon his lips, stood at the entrance to the temples and put the seal of silence upon the masses. With a despotic government, there was no such thing as personal freedom. Lack ing free development and creative in dustry, Egyptian genius is said to have been directed only towards useful pro jects. Egypt did this much for us, however-and that is a very great deal -she handed the torch of learning to Greece. PUPIL. End of the Nebraska Muddle.

CLEMSON COLLEGE. The New Board Decide on the Experimenl al Farm-Work on the Buildings Go ing Forward. [Special to Sunday News.] COLUMBIA, January 17.-Secretar, of State Tindal returned this evenin from his visit to Clemson College wher he spent yesterday in attendance upo be first meeting of the iew board < control of the College and ex: erimenut station. He was visited to-night, an a full account of his visit and the meel ing was obtained. He did not get to make his trip t Spartanburg to-day to make arraug nients for the sale of the experiwentd station at that point as he hid inteudec as there were no railroad connection: but came directly here from Fendletol He will spend Monday in his ofiic working olf some of the accumulatiot of busines and in the afternoon will g to Darlington, there to arrange for ti sale of the experimental station. i expects to reach Spartanburg by tli end of the week. The following men bers of the board attended the mre ing: Secretary of State Tindal, D. I Norris, J. E. Bradley, President Strod and Superintendent Dugger, of th experimental station. The board wa entertained by President Strode at th old Calhoun mansion, in which h lives. The board held a lengthy mee ing, and here is a summary of resull as given by Mr. Tindal. They discussed at length the be: management of the farm at t leniso for the present year, and Super:nter dent Dugger of the farm was instructe as to what lands to plant during th year. They will be planted in cor oats and forage. It was decided 1 establish the station by preparing cei tain lands exclusively for the use < the station. He was instructed to e tablish a garden for the use of the Co lege in addition to one for the use of t1: convicts. The board directed the pr< paration of land for the experiments station proper. LAND FOB EXPERIMENTS. Land was ordered to be prepare especially for the requirements of e2 periments on established scientif principles. It was also decided to la the foundation for a College herd< cattle and the board will purcha! twelve head of thoroughbred cattle at thirty head of grade cows and "sprini ers." It was decided to devote all tl washed lands on the place to the pa turing of this herd. The general mnanaga ment of the farm will be directe with a view to the support of all ti animals used in the construction of Lt building. The draining of soil will al: be conducted with a view to developi deficiencies so as to prepare fori most economical improvement whe the College is started. The whole obje< of the meeting was to settle on a plan running the station and farm. The pla detailed above .will also include tl idea of ascertaining the value of certa. fertilizers for top dressing as welli that of cotton seed meal or cake food for hogs and other stock. Certai lands were set apart for experiments cotton culture to establish the relativ value of certain kinds of seed and al: the mode of culture on fertilization. PROGRESS OF THE WORK. In speaking of the progress of ti work as h'e saw it Secretary Tind: gave these general observations. Ta of the~ professors' houses are nearie completion. The slate roofs of ti house of the chief cbemist and or other are now being put on. The o1 mansion has been recovered and ren< vated and is nearing completion. TI laboratory only lacks the roof. Th makes three buildings nearly complel with the roofs on two. -The College now has half a miillic brick ready for use; in the spring, whe the manufacture can be resumed, ti plant will turn out 30,000 per day. Tl wood for burning them has been et ad is now being dried. Secretary Tir da said a large number of applicatior from students received.

The Public Schools of Newberry County. During the scholastic year 1889-90, there were eighty-nine public schools in operation in Newberry County. s School district No. 9 had the largest t number-sixteen, and Nos. 12, 13 and d 14 the smallest-two each. There were s 107 teachers in the public schools, and s of this number thirty-nine were males n and sixty-eight females. The average monthly wages paid to males was $19.64, to females $2 .30. This differ ence arose from the fact that a great many of the colored teachers held low t grade certificates. g During the year the reports showed a total enrollment of .5,405 pupils, and 0 of this number 1,9'1 were white and 3,472 colored. There was an average attendance of 3,238, or about 59 9-10 per cent. of the total enrollment. The average attendance should have been larger. Eighty per'cent would 0 have been a good showing. Parents - should endeavor to have their children () attend school more regularly, and s teachers should urge its necessity. We must remember, however, that the great majority of the schools are in the D country, and children attending these schools often have a long distance to J walk, and cannot be at school every 0 day, especially when the weather is disagreeable. But it is useless to go into a lengthy 0 report of the schools of last year. It is 0 sufficient to say that the schools of last .t year ai-e doing fairly well, when every e thing is taken into consideration. The great need of the schools is more money. There was only enough last year to run the free schools about three and one-third mopths. This is not long enough, as every one must admit. The schools should run at least six months, and not until they run this tong or longer will the common schools ac complIsh the purpose fur which they y were established. g - e The School Book Question. Two yeas ago (Sept. 25, 1888,) the L County Board of Examiners, in ac d cordance with a resolution passed by the State Board. met and adopted a list of text books to be used in the schools of Newberry County. Before this, each teacher selecting such books as suited him best. Of course this made school books expensive, as our teacher would often choose books different from those used by his predecessor. Since the adoption of books by the s County Board, there has been a change and now in nearly all the schools of e the county the same series of books are in use. It has taken some work to 1e make the ebange and has given teach ers trouble, but the results are entirely - satisfactory. These books cannot be changed for five years from the time they were e adopted, and perhaps when the time has expired thesame books will be se e lcted for five years more. e Webster's Elementary Speller has been in use for more than half a cen tury, but it has served its time and must go. Two years ago this book was st in a great many of our schools, but now a it-is not often that we find it. Swin ton's books have taken its place. Al d though the "Elementary" may be dis e carded now, and doubtless rightly, yet we must say that it has done more to advance correct spelling and proper pronunciation than any other book ever used li the schools of our county. We doubt very much whether there will ever be another school book pub elished that will hold sway for tifty More Teachers Wanted. Thlere are a few schools in the county d yet in want of teachers. It is time - that these schools were beginning ic work. If there are any teachers who y want positions, it would be well for >f them to write to the Commissioner, se and he Imay help secure plaes for d them. e The Association. s- The Association will meet next Sat ~urday. Notice of the meeting has been sent to each teacher, and it would be ec well for all of them to come.

The Noble Devotion of One Hundred and Thirty-two Knights of Honor in Chicago. CHICAGO, January 1.-One of the most unique surgical operations on record was performed in this city to day, and one hundred and thirty-two Knights Templar gave the world a notable example of fraternal love and self sacrifice, made in order that a sick brother might be restored to health. These Knights each suffered a loss of a piece of cuticle which was transferred to Sir Knight John Dickerson. A cancer which had attacked Dick erson's thigh was removed some time ago, but so deep and wide an incision had to be made in the flesh that nature was unequal to the task of healing over the gaping wound. The experiment was tried of engrafting the skin of some of the lower animals, but it failed. The surgeon in charge announced to Dickerson's anxious brethren that if human skin could be obtained it would in all probability save the patient's life and ensure his complete recovery. The question was where to obtain suffi cient skin to cover 144 square inches of surface. The matter was broached in the Commandery and to a man the Knights offered to submit themselves to the necessary operation. LADIES Needing a tonic, or children who want build BROWN'S iRON BITTERS.
