We are informed by one of the members
of the summer school faculty that
1 - ? "? - ' 1 ? 1? I
I tne students in auenciance, wuu vuiy
one or two exceptions, submitted examination
papers that were highly
creditable t) themselves and most
satisfactory to tlieir instructors. The
regular examination of applicants for
certificates was to have been held after
the summer school examinations had
' been completed, but owimr to the non
arrival of the necessary papers from
the Superintendent of Education McMahan's
office, it had to be postponed.
' October loth is the date selected for
the examination. Many of the teacher;!
were seriously inconvenienced by
^ their failure to get certificates at ihe
' proper time. Some of them have made
engagements to teach in other counties,
and they must go to work without
P certificates or wait' until after October
s 13th. Superintendent Stevenson will
r endeavor, however, to make some
e arrangement in these cases satisfactory
to all parties concerned.

who was introduced by Jas. G. Mc

and his remarks were followed witl
the closest interest and attention b;
the audience. Mr. McGhee's addresi
w&3 a plea for a more solid, substan
tial and practical course of training ii
the public schools. These institution
should not be regarded he said, a
finishing schools where pupils are sen
to acquire "accomplishments" at th<
expense of an education along mor<
material lines.
He paid his respects to that portior
of the school law of South Carolini
which makes it obligatory apoi
teachers to include in the curriculun
of the public schools an absurdly larg<
number of branches of study. Th*
thoroughness ofj instruction in tfci

LIFE IN MANILLA.,
3 We have seen several copies of
"Freedom", an American paper pub
lisbed in Manilla, forwarded by Lient.
? R. n. Mcilaster to relatives here.
j The papers are about six weeks old,
3 and their leading news items are
naturally somewhat oat of date, but
| they gi?e an excellent general .idea of
t life in Maoilla. The local columns of
r the papers are filled with accounts of
I social functions of every description,
r Bally, receptions, dinner parties and
> r?thpr f. rmQ nf serial amusements are
provided for the entertainment of the
soldiers and other American residents
in the c:ty.
bt Owing t'? ?!.! comparative inactivity
of the jinn* at ih . iiczie of the publication
of thco-j i':tp l-d, the items relative
to the miliary operations are not very
k prominent. The Spanish aud_native
ohnn :.ppnprs- hav<? adonted American
,s methods of advertising their wares,
and tli^ sdvertising columns of "Free'
don" a. e strikingly similar to those
ef |> i.urs published in this county.
e Evide .tly no great moral institution
Q like our dispensiry system has been
put into operation in Manilla. Adverr*
tisements of alm>t every variety of
L' American beer are largely in evidence,

r ofbusiuess cards: My best girl?in
America?always chirps for Hop Gold
Beer." The "American Drug Store"
- informs the pnblic that a "full line of
!' medicinal wines and liquors" 19 kept
in stock.
Typographically, the paper is not
ra attractive. As ;the Greenville News
* remarks it, it is, from its general apr*
pearance, printed with an empty Hour
P barrel tor a press cylinder and axle
u grease for ink. The papers are decidedly
interesting ,to the soldiers'
friends at home.
K Tbe general tone of the news mat
tcr goes to snow mat wnue not enum ing
the hardships of campaigns \n the
inngles of the .interior, the boys, many
of tbem at least, have an opportunity
to Jay down the "White Man's Burden"

Mr J 51 stewart Submits the Followi
Report After a Careful Survey
Messrs. G. H. McMaster and gent
men of the committee:
In accordance with your instructio
I have carelully examined the ro:
leading from Winnsboro to Camde
beginning five miles from Winusbo
" " J r(-A?*A 4 V"1 T ?? f rt /

miles.
The route naturally offers ma:
difficulties to tbe selection of a got
road-way; both on account ot t]
character of the soil and the diiectic
of the streams; these all running trac
vereely to the road, thus nece?sitatii
tbe crossing of ali the ridges. Anoth
difficulty is in obtaining a good cros
ing of the streams themselves and ti
bottoms through which they flow.
The hills offering the most scrioi
obstacle to travel, are the two Water
Creek hills, one .tt the Ford place at
the other at the Kion piace; tne ?yiu
row hill leading down to Big Dutc
man's Creek, the Wyalt Davis hi
just beyond, and the Bryant hiii. Ti
ether bills, after a liit'.e gradii
down, will offer no difficulty.
My problem was to obviaie tl
above named hills, by the selection
ether routes with much lees ?,rrad
and to do this without appreciab
lengthening the present distance ar
without incurring the necessity
labor beyond that procurable f: om t]
county chain gang.
Luckily, owing to the topograpl
of the neighboring lands, the proble
admitted a practicable solution.
The Ford hill wa? gstten rid of \
diverting the road to a ravine t]
north, securing a gradual ascent fro
the foot of the hill to a point in tl
present road a short distance this si(
of the Ford house. The new ro?
being about the same length as tl
old. At the llion hill the new rou
makes a much greater defection,
leaves the old road at the creek, go
north or down the edge of the cree
bottom for about one hundred yard
then takes up a ravine and comes 01
in the present road near where tl
preseat road and the abandoned ro?
unite. The grades on this route w

sity of permitting the Durham ros

At Ten Mile hill a new route on tl
east side running near Loyd Davis

opened by the chain gang. Its leng:
is about the same as the old roote ar
the grade is very easy.
At the Wyatt Dawkins Hill a co:
siderable deflection was made to tl

However, those who arc familiar wi
the road say that these bottoms a:
always passable and are not to I
dreaded. The two large sluices i

with rock and will give no farthi

HIS GRAVE WILL BE MARKED.
The following letter will be of
terest to many of our readers:
Major T. W. Woodward:
Dear Sir?I have just read in T
News and Herald of the 19th io
the address you had pub'i-hcd, deliv
ed by Govenr-r John H. Means op
taking- t:.maud of his regime) t
defence ur our country in tbe v
between the S:atcs. Mr- Thon
Crowder, a residetit of this coun
who wag a gallant officer in Goven
* * .1 ,
Means' regiment, ana wno fervcu
Confederacy from the firing of
firsi gun to the fnriiog of the flag af
the last battle, showed me last sumn
a copy of the address in pampt
form, and I thought it was the o:
one in existence until I saw your pi
lication to-day. Mr. Crowder,
! speaking of Governor Mean?, s;
there was not a soldier in his regimi
who did not love him, and that tl
wnnld have followed him to a man i
the crater of death.
la the editorial notes precei^iog
address, as copied in The News ?
Herald, I note the following: ''
are informed tbat the grave of t
distinguished Carolinian is not, mail
by any stone."
The family have always intended
place a handsome monument to
memory. Jtiis grave is m our juu
burying ground at Buckhead rem
from aoy chnrcb, and I will sagges
them that the monument be erectec
Salem Church and bailt of Fairfi
granite, with the following lines adi
to the inscription thereon:
"'Twas his to cope, whiie a raj
Lope
Illumed our flag, and then?
'Twas his to die while that flag f
high
In the van of chivalrous men."
I have been informed that Gover
V; ^
*-D Means believed that the life of the
a;r patriot soldier v>as never lost; but that
it bloomed a^ain beyond the grave
le- where sorrow is unknown.
The members of his family unite
a(j with me in thanking you for liaviog
n, tie address published. With sentiro
ments of esteem, I am yours truly,
