We have heard considerable corn plaint of the poor accommodations at the passenger depot of the R- & D. rail road at Newberry. There is frequently no light in the waiting rooms at night, and sonetines no fire. The citizens of Newberry will try their hand at the waterworks question again on Thursday, 19th instant. This thing of water is getting monotonous. But the town ought to have plenty of water stored away for days when it don't rain. Persona1. Mr. T. J. LaMotte. of the Columbia Register, is in the city.

Newberry has not yet adopted that system of water works and electric ights, but during the past few days the has had an abuLdant supply of water. On Saturday afternoon and night tb<re was a heavy rain fall. Sunday morning the lowering clouds partially disa >eared, but in the afternoon the rai i- dPescendedd in heavy torrents an(! continued nearly throughout the entire night. The streets were washed in diteiles and gulleys, anii Scott's Creek covert-d the bottoms above the raiiroar. crossing, as it was wont to do before the culvert was removed. The dwellers in the houses in the bottom were warned about one o'clock on Sun day night by the rapid rise of the water that they would have to move out for their safety. This they did, some wad ing through the water waist deep in order to reach dry land. The streams throughout the county were much swollen, but at this writ ing we are unable to give the damages to the county in the way of bridges washed away. The bridge at Godfrey Harmon's on Bush River is gone. The Werber's Mill bridge has been injured, although not entirely washed away. Lindsay's bridge on Bush River was moved out of position, still persons were crossing on Tuesday. The water was over the banisters of the bridge at Mendenball's mill, but it remained in position. Other bridges no doubt have been more or less injured. THIE RAILROAD WASHOUTS. Newberry with her ten daily passen ger trains finds it a little inconvenient to come down to one or two a day, yet such was -ur fate this week. The new schedule on the Anderson train went into eflect on Monday, and on that morning came through from Columbia, giving us Columbia's mor ning papers at 8 o'clock, but the train got no further than Dyson, for when it reacLd that point it found the track about five feet tinder water. The track at several other places between here and there was also submerged, and we have had no train from Greenville this week. The train returned to Columbia Monday night, but did not venture out Tuesday morning. The old Laurens went through all right. The up passenger came to New berry and returned. On Tuesday morning the passenger train from Columbia started, but wben it reached a point about twelve miles from Columbia a trestle gave way and the engine and mail car were turned over in a ditch. No one was hurt. The mail and passengers were trans ferred to the Laurens train, and it re turned to Newberry about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This wreck was cleared and the Anderson train came through yester day morning. It will be some days yet before the trains can make their schedules. On the C. N. & L. railroad there was a small washout about two miles below Newberry, and the train for Columbia did not leave Newberry until one o'clock on Monday. On Tuesday this train ran off at Prosperity and was delayed several hours. Accounts of the freshets elsewhere are published in another column. The Saluda was as full as it was in 1888, but Broad River seems not to have been so high. At last accounts the rivers were gradually falling, and if the rains cease there wvill be no further damage. The damage to the railroads will be heavy. The C. & G. has had no freight s -w , ggg mgorning,nd is still at New berry. The trains passed through yesteeday (Wednesday). The train from Green ville reaching Newberry late in the afternoon. The Richmond and Danvill people have been very prompt in repairing damage and getting their trains through.

Garlington, of Arctic and Indian war fame, passed through here to-day for his old home in Newberry, wire his family are now residing. He sil wears his arma in a silken sling, where it has been since he was; paInfully wounded by Iudians at Wounded Knee Creek in January last. Lieut. Uarlington looks well, but seemed considerabi y fatiguei froi his long trip across the PIhaits. He will stay in Newberry for one week, and will then go to Charleston, where he will stay perhap for three iionths. The objects of his visit there will be to in vestigate the advantages possessed by Charleston as a recruiting station. To this duty he has been assigned by the war department, and it will take some time to investigate and report. At present Lieut. Garlington is on a wounded furlough. Speaking of the Wounded Knee fight, be said to me that Capt. Wallace and all the soldiers acted heroically. Before returning to his command Lieut. Garlington will probably visit his relatives in Laurens and other counties.-Special to Ness and Courier. Lieut. Earnest Garlington retebed Nc ewberry on Tuesday night on the Laurens train, arriving at 2 a. ni. Opera House. The New York Theatre Company gave their first performance in the Opera House on Monday night. The play, "Man and Master," was a good one and well rendered by the Con pany. On Tuesday night they pre sented "Jack's Sweetheart" which was enjoyed by a large audience. To-night (Wednesday) they will present the popular play entitled "Hit or Miss." If you want to see a first class perform ance go to the Opera House to-night. This Company is one of the best that has been here this season and should have good houses. To-norrow night they will play "Galley Slave." 'tre prices are low enough for everybody, 50, 35 and 25 cents. Don't fail to see "Hit or Miss." The New York Theatre Company will remain here the entire week, giv ing a change of programme every night, also a matinee on SaturJay af ternoon.

SWe learn from Edgefield that the historic place, so long asleep in its clas > sic shades, is now awake, as "a strong a man from sleep," and is doing won derful things. Cotton factories, granite . quarries and other industrial enterpriset t -together with new stores, handsome private residences and a grand hotel awill soon convert the village into a city r of beauty and activity. SEdgefield has always been noted foi y the culture, refinement and elegani hospitality of its citizens. Her mer have been renowned in war and in th< t councils of State; and now that th< ~sons of worthy sires are about to en ogage more largely in commercial an< industrial ventures, we do not doubl g that their talent developed in thes< g lines will bring them fame and for tune. , Happening in Edgefleld for a singli - night, about a year ago, we chanced t< ir meet a number of the young men o r- the town who were making a sick call e and, were we to express our admiira tion of them, we should say that w we were simply - charmed. Be le cause of their handsome appearance Yes. But more particularly for thei imodest and gentle bearing. On returu ing home I asked a gentleman on tb train if the young men of Edgefiel c- h]ad a special society for culture He thought not. Was sure they had n 4- Y. M. C. A., but that they were 3splendid lot of young fellows! And now, in addition to all the oth< uy good things that Edgefield is doin; she has established a Young Men Christian Association which alread numbers one hundred and eleven men bers! As an evidence of the spirit in whi< i-they have gone to work, it is said th; Lur at a recent meeting of the central ass ciation it was determined to carry tl work all over the County of Edgefie and establish a branch of theY. M. C.. at every church, school house at -cross road. This is glorious wor , Though Edgefield has been late in e S gaging in such work she has, go grandly into the labor, and promises - transcend them all and set an exami worthy of imitation by older assoc tions.

The memorial sermon was preached byi Rev. N. Chiles, Grand Chaplain 'Thie sermon was of great importance and was enjoyed by all. Rev. Chiles apparently attracted spe cial notice, being a man weighing some thing over three hundred pounds. The convention voted that a photograph of Mr. L. Duckett, the founder of the "Future Progress Society." of South Carolina, be taken and thateach Lodge should possess one of them. The annual address deiivered by N. C. Duckett, Generai Traveling Agent, at 7:31) p. i., subject, "The organiz:ition and work of the Future Progress Society, of South Carolina, for twelve years," was one of the mo=t important and interest ing talks in the convention. It was enjoyed by all. The report of L. Duckett, Grand Tteasurer, shows the financial condi tion of the lodge to he better than it has been for some time. His receipts show that $1S.25 for assessments, and $298.50 to pay incidental expenses have been collected. The receipts of Treasurer Duckett show that S2,571.25 have been paid to beneficiaries from March 5, 185, to March 5, 18)1. This is a benevolent organization and is doing a great work for its members. The reports of the local lodges show a great increase in membership this year. Mrs. Harriet Herbert and Mrs. Bird, of Newberry, and Mrs. N.

Mrs. Sallie Kinard is still lying at her daughter's in a low condition. Mrs. Kinard is an aged lady of eighty-five summers, and there is very little hopes of her recovery. Mir. James Crosson, of Lewviedlale, spent a fewv days here last week. I Messrs. Edgar and Carrol Shealy, of St. Paul's community, spent Saturday night with friends in this neighbor hood. Tphe overseers of public highways in this neighborhood are trying to put the sanme in better condition this week. Owing to the abundance of rain it senms to be a difficult matter to im p)rove the roads much. Rain! rain! Yes, we have been hav ing an abundance of rain and the aver age farmer is getting badly behind with his work. but let us all try to re main happy and cheerful. It seems strange to see the Anderson train passing by us this week, as she now makes her run from Columbia to Anderson and return each day. Such a kind act upon the part of the railroad authorities will certainly be appre ciated by the public generally. The old reliable Laurens also passes through our quiet little community just the same. Married, on last Thursday afternoon, at Mr. Henry Smith's residence, hy Rev. J. A. Sligh. Mfr. John C.

The Board of Equalization met on Tue-dav in the Auditor's oftice to can vas the returns of personal property. Tie following members were present, every town.lhip being represented ex ce,, No. 7: Township I--H. Hf. Folk. T1owusuip 2-A. J. (4ihson. Township 3-E. S. Keitt. Tw)nship 4-R. C. Carlisle.

Folk was rc-elceted chairman, W. C. Cromer, au ditor, acting as secretary. A report was reeeived from the different townships by the menbers. The basis of valuation of first-class stock was fixed at $100, but very few changes were made in the returns. In Township No. : the minimum re turns for household goods was fixed at 1~>. In the other townships there was 110 m1inimum amount fixed, the return.; being left as made by the individuals or as raised or lowered by the various township boards. In regard to the return made by the Newberry B;ank the board desired all the information it could obtain, and on motion, Mr. R. L. McCaughrin, presi dent, was requested to appear before the board. He did so, and after thor oughly canvasshg the situation the board decided unanimously to leave the return of the Newberry National Bank as made by the president. The stock is returned at par. The auditor will make a statement to the comptroller-general in regard to the action of the board on the bank re turn. The board, after having spent a day of hard work and having acconTlished nothing, drew its pay and adjourned. We mean by this simply that 'soards of equalizations are a useless expense. Inasmuch as the member frori No. 7 was absent, the board author:zed the auditor to canvas the returns an: equal ize them with the assessmhent,s in other townships. ''he auditor informs us tha t it is his opinion that the returns this year will be largely in excess of the amount of last year's returns. TEACHERS' COLUMN. School Districts. It seems that if we are to have the county cut up into smaller districts we will be forced to wait until the next meeting of-the General Assembly. The County Board of Examiners have the right to form as many districts as they think proper, but at the same time they cannot redistrict the county with out the means to do so. The last ad vice that the commissioner has receiv ed is that it is doubtful whether money .can be used for the purpose without special legislation. There are some portions of Newberry County that could be made into small districts with great benefit to the schools. There are other portions where it would not be of so much benefit. The County Board of Examiners. however, will entertain propositions from any community to form itself into a district, should the district to be formed not injure materially the pros perity of schools already in operation. Teachers' Institutes. At the Teachers' . .eting at Pr_o - perity on next Saud - e We have already had two institutes in Newberry County, and those who have attended feel that thbey were bene fitted. We want trained teachers in our schools. We want teachers who under stand their work, and who are willing to perform it faith fully. Ex perience is a great teacher, it is true, but we can learn a great deal from the experience of others,-and this will make our work the easier. If every teacher in South Carolina could attend a training school one year or more it would be a great help to our comnmon school system. This cannot be done, however. For those wbo cannot attend these training schools and they constitute the great majority -the institute is held. Let us all go to prosperity and give the association our approval of the in stitute this summer. Thorough Work. The average pupil may have finished a number of books in his school course, but this often gives us nio idea as to the extent of his education. He may have gone over the school course in such a way that his work is unsatisfactory and almost a failure. One reason-and the main one-is that the prinmary work has been done in an unsatisfactory manner. The pupil has been carried too rapid ly through the primary grades. He has not been taught to be thorough in earlier school days. -Perhaps, as is very often the case, the lessons assigned haave been too long-of such length that he could not prepare them thor oughly, consequently he feels discour aged. Trhe teacher should insist upon thorough preparation, and in order to have this, the work assigned must not be too dimieult. Let the pupils know what they go over, though it be but little. A little well done is better than a great deal poorly d ne. The public schools in some of the townships have closed. They havE been in operation only three months, The reason of this is that in these town ships where the terms are longer therE is a large number of children and nol so many schools. ,In those "communities wvhere tin schools have run only three months i would be well for the p)eople to supple ment the public fund and run thi schools six months, or even longer & WXe are glad to know that in a grea -many instances they are willing to d<i s this. A term of three months onl: does not meet the demand. e - -We learn that 31r. E. 0. Counts ha 0 taken charge of the Prosperity HligI -School. MIr. D)reher, the former princi t pal, has resigned on account of failin, a health. We are glad that MIr. Counts ha again decided to teach. We hope tha he miay continue at the work, as he ha alwvays met with success in the schoo room. On next Saturday the Teachers' A~ fsocia tion will meet at Prosp)erity. Ever teacher is earnestly requested to a tend. The teachers from Newberr -can golown on the early train in ti morning and return at 1.15 p. m. The association should meet at yv o'clock, so that the work can be easil t inis5hed. Jt When you are constipaten nave hea is ache, or loss of appetite take Dr. J.
