To be discussed are I s such topics as The Pupil's*Home ^ Work, Playground and Street t< Regulations, The Midday Lunch, si Visiting and Visitors, Room P Adornment, Duties and Respon- w C( sihilities of a Principal, School , Rulea, The Rainy Day at School, a. Care of School Property, School c, Entertainments, Their Use and b Abuse, etc. C1 Being most favorably impress ei ed with the idea ol the Greenville News along this line, we have ,, concluded to tender the use o< ti the columns <>f this newspaper ai to the teachers of Lancaster for a similar purpose?not only to 1,1 the teachers ol the town but to those of the county as well. il \ O 1 / 1 *11 iio \>ui roircmt u uretjnvint? hi conlemporury remarks, taken altogether the educational interests P( of a community tvaro ol greater j)s magnitude and touch more peo fjj pie more closely than any other m one interest." We believe that m the publication of a series ol ar- l' tides on the subjects suggested, J or on kindred subjects, will greatly advance the cause of education in Lancaster, both town and e fo county, and we therefore appeal 0 to the teachers to furnish us with the "copy." Ol course contri- re but ions from patrons and others interested in educational work 8,1 will also be given space. Let ^ the good work begin at once. c\ A WARNING FROM TEXAS. m According to the News and M Courier, a Spartanburg man, fo Mr A. B. Coggins, who is des- en cribed as "an intelligent young ju farmer," is quoted as saying ev Stat Texas, in which state he gt has been living for the past pt three years, expects to produce pc four million bales of cotton this ty year?by far the largest crop ar within its history. Mr. Coggins di states that "the fall was too wet, ju to sow wheat, and it has been in 0 wet all the spring to sow There ?ts, ami everything will bo that anted in cotton." woulc it Texas plants "everything" justic 1 cotton, or anything like recall everything," and the seasons posed L-oye propitious, there is no tell- Lanci ig how low down the scale the whicl rice of the staple will run next stake >11.

If, however, Judge Gage i upheld, then we desire the couni eople of York county to appre lieve iate that a high responsibility they ill devolve upon them. There j]ie q ) no doubt of the fact that the (jonr inching of Morrison was a feri us i rime, and one that should ~ e punished, but it is also well |r?? ) remember that punishment II x? >r crime should only be applied j| " ) the guilty.

There are oilier cousid ^3qq( ations, also of course; but th> lain thing we would have our ^ { eople consider is the matter o! ^er \intr to dispense absolute jus comn co in accoroatice with the law nd the evidence, and legardles I any prejudice whatever W<- "can r? not pretend to say whether or dislri ot the plaintiff* should have a been erdiet or in what amount, and I vv/ 44 1 t lis is something no one should i ng f .tempt to do until alter there is been a lull and complete ex Partn nsition of the law and the evj- ]_)u Esnce. After the trial, if there ^ a trial, we hope that the ver ict will be one that, will coin- a tr< iend itseif to every lair minded night inn as being just, and if this be pn le case there need be no concern . . 5 to whether that verdict be lor ie plaintiff or the defendant. size The News on behalf of Lancas ^ e r county thanks the Enquirer ^ ^ r its broad and liberal presen , tion of the situation before its nan laders.
