VARIOUS "WRONG8" ENUMERATED,
The School Commissioner Points Ont
Various Errors Into Which the Ed*
itor or the '* Press and Banner"
Has Fallen.
Aduevim-e, S. C., March 29,1SSG.
Editor Presn and Banner :
In reference to the "White Hall schools please
publish the following brief statements In reply
to your report as far as it concerns myself.
You say: "We disclaim any intention to do
any wrong * * We merely wished to be
convinced of our error." I think I can convince
you or any fair minded mnn ol several
"(.n'orj" in your report, and show you many
instances where you have done me. the County
Board of Examiners, and the Trustees of
White Ilall township grievous "wrong
1. Tn places too numerous to mention you
J1 * 11 *-" 1" ti^nhrknl Pnmmkvifmor"
OKI "Wrung 111 tiaut*
instead of County Board of Examiners. Especially
is this unjust when the appeal and
tlie reply thereto are both directed properly
"7'o the Coii'ity Board of Examiners of Abbeville
CoUHtj/."
2. You did "wrong" in publishing the private
letter of Capt- Carwile to mea<rainstmy
earnest protest, verbal and written, when you
were informed that the letter formed no part
of the proceedings in the appeal, and that all
the matter contained In thtt letter was found
in the "reply'' of the Board of Trustees.
3. You did "wrong" in using mis'.ending
"head-lines," because it will be seen by an impartial
.and disinterested investigation that
the action of the County Eo'ird of Examiners
has not debarred a single "white renter from
public school privileges." We claim that we
have acted as conscientious "public servants"
ko as, in our opinion, "best to promote the educational
interest of the district." We recognize
the impracticability of opening a free
public school at every man's door or ou every
man's plantation.
4. You did "wrong" in supposing that the
School Commissioner had any "ruling" to
make without consultation with the other
members of the County Board of Examiners.
5. You did "wrong" in mistaking the otli^lol
nn.irtoco a iwl i ,n nn rt 1 n 111V of ThcScllOOl
Commissioner for a "favorable decision." Especially
Is this unfair when you, and sill oth?rs
concerncd in this appeal, were informed,
>ver and over, that the School Commissioner
would not "intimate a decision" without consultation
with the County Board and then we
would decide the ca^e on Us merits.
6. You did "wrong" in intimating that the
School Commissioner denied any body a "fair
ilalm." The "claim" referred to was "denied"
t>y the County Board of Examiners, and we
issert emphatically that we believe honestly
md conscientiously, we did what was best for
!he educational lutercstof White Hall township.
7. You did "wrong" In Insinuating that
Lhree honorable men, from three honorable
professions?law, medicine and teaching?failed
to give justice" because you "neglected to
jmploy a lawyer to present your case."
S. We believe that you did not do "wrong"
when you Intimated "on behalf of the patrons
of the New School" that "no tlamc what
rvcr" should attach to the County Board of
Examiners.
9. You did "wrong" when you insinuate
ihat our decision whs made "without investi:ation,"
when we made the fullest and freest
investigation of every thing that should come
>efore an appellate tribunal (as our Board
,vas) without original Jurisdiction.
10 You did ''wrong" when you, ''distrusting
your own ability to give a fair judgment
is to the merits" of the ease, printed so
much between the lines" that wuu really outirie
the Hues.
11. You did "wrong ' when you say that
'the trustees, In their official capacity, used
>trensive language." You must have known
.hat the trusieesdid not Intend to be offensive
ior does their language bear such construcion.
12. You did "wrong" in saying that the
'School Commissioner put us to great, nnnec>ssary
trouble and inconvenience in conducing
this appeal." What the jschool Commisioner
required of all concerned was in conbrmity
to the requirements of the law, and
as absolutely necessary for a proper decision
n the case The "unnecessary trouble aud in>mivpnipni>p"
nf which von complain was
wholly voluntary on the part of yourself Jind
he friends of the new school resulting from a
lupposed necessity for u frequent conference.
1>. You did "wrong" In saying ihnt the
School Commissioner did not inform himself
is to the merltsot the case, and that he "turn d
a deaf ear'' to your just complaint. All the
,>upcrs and circuinstances in the case go to
show how untrue these bald assertions are.
1'he "complaint" and the "reply" will indlxite
to the disinterested reader whether our de:lsion
was ' Just." Our own consciences tell
is we were lionest in our decision, and that
leclsion was made after a careful consideralon
of both sides of the question.
14. You did "wrong"?a very grievous
>vrong?to the School Commissioner In his
lonest endeavor to promote, in every way.
,ha welfare of the schools when your attack
tnd unkind crlilcism is read in the light of
'Section 10th-' of your "appeal," ucless it is
neant for(io use your head lilies)"tally for
he School Commissioner." Here nre your
vords referred t->: "That ue have an abiding
irith in your disposition to increase the efficiency
\f the school?. and to promote alike the interest of
ill in woperlij rearing and educating our chitiren,
and in making, during the short period that
hey may be under our control, as positive develypmeitLt
for their good as our circumstances.can
idmit."
1"). You dhl "wrong" in bringing your coneinporarie^
the Messenger and Medium, into
,hls matter without, any provocation.
lfi. You did "wrong" (to put it mildly)
,vhen you intimate that the School Commissioner
said thu't "distance would have nolhng
to do Willi our decision." I aslc yourself
mdun impartial public to compare the published
table of distances furnlstied by two
trustworthy gentlemen with the 7th section of
;he "appeal."' It read? this way: "That it is
iot of the distand, but the natural obstacles that
ntcrvene between us and the school on the west
ride of Hard Labor <creek that we complain/'
17. You did "wltonir," (I do not say that It
svas intentional, however much it. may appear
so) in report Ins that you got from my office
he fact (so-called) that there were only two
ivhlle schools in White Hall township. I
javeyou the names of four schools located in
,he township and several Just on the line. I
?t? i r
jitve jou nie names ui .ui. vi uimm unu
Misses Ross, Kcilar and Morrow, reported
rom ''White Hull township." I gave you the
lames of the teachers who were paid out of
,he White Hull school fund, suiting that I
:ould not inform you whether some of the
mines were lu the town ship or Just over the
ine.
18. You did "wronff"' to the School Commissioner,
the County Board of Examiners, the
octtl trustees and yourself in many other
particulars, but knowing the Quixotic pro livities
of the Press and Banner, and that it
las cultivated a malignant and Btfnsoriows
spirit so lonir that it will "find fault with a
oseand growl at the sunshine." I will inafciS
*o further corrections.

IN REPLY TO HON. D. W. AIKEN.
lion. A. P. Butler Gives Ills Views,
and Offers Suggestions.
Columbia, S. C. March 29, 1886.
Editor Pi-exs and Manner.
I have just read Col. Aiken's communication
in your last, issue. Permit me to say that
Ike him I am strongly in favor of a farmers
convention,?not one but many conventions.
Public meetings of the fanners will do more
real good for tbelr cause than nil the buncombe
speeches made in congress in a century.
I heartily approve Col. Aikens suggestions
concerning the State department of agriculture,
I am prepared to say that any suggestions
from an organization of farmers or
imm mamuunis, ior me improvement oi trie
Jepartment will be most gratefully received,
but I trust thai an investigation of the work
9f the department will show that ills already
l,?n honor to the state." Col. Aiken suggests
that if the department is "not worth the money
paid for it such alterations In Its administration
should be made its will bring it up to
this stsindard. J also cordially endorse this
patriotic sentiment. Col. Aiken asks "why
should a farmer feed ills cattle on col ion seed
meal exempt from taxation, whereas if he
feeds his crop on the same article lie is taxed
for the privilege." I will 4ell him. The Legislature
passed an act authorizing the department
of agriculture to tuialyze all fertilizers
sold in the State. When cotton seed meal is
"fed to the crops" it becomes a fertilize and
as such Is subject to inspection, as it Is liable
to adulteration, and is consequently taxable.
As stock food It is not subject to inspection by
this department, I fear CoU Aiken's suggestion
in regard to this lax was inspired by the
fact that he recently purchased a lot of meal
that was not tagged in accordance with law,
through his own or the manufacturers negligence,
and he was somewhat inconvenienced
t hereby. It may be wise to repeal a!l the laws
ot South Carolina passed for the protection ol
tlie tanners or the State, wnere they conniet
with Col. Aikens Interest, bi>t I must be pardoned
for saying that I do nol think so. The
department of agriculture is not only willing
bnt anxious to be investigated by tl>e farmer*
of the State, it was created specially to advance
their interest and if it is not fulfilling
its purposes the farmers should know it. As
it seems to be in order /or every body to make
suggestions to the con ventlon which is to assemble
in Columbia oil the '20th of April I
will exercise the same privilege that others
?ro taklnjr and suggest to the fiwuiers that
ttiey should retwiubef that our congressmen
are aot out of rc;ioht>f investigation. Lot the
work of these Representatives be examined
and let the farmers "learn whetheror not they
are Worth the money paid for thern and il
they are not make xnch' alterations In our
Congressional delegation as will make it an
honor to the State. A. P. Butleu.

cases before him in the past ten days.
Mr. Giles, of Greenwood, Was employed in h
one case and made a very pointed logical argument
before hlB hbnor. We hope he will
come again.
"Sensation let It be." Perhaps no horse has
ever created more sensation iu this community
than the blouded stallion recently purchased
by Messrs. Frttzler, Hale and Jackson.
Realizing this fact his owners have named
him "Sensation." It is quite appropriate.
Ninety-Six can now boast of her Normans, S
her Mambrinos and her thoroughbreds. "
We would like to say something about the
entertainment given last Friday night by
Prof. Lovejoy and his school, but as several
reporters were here from a distance we think
it best to let them make the report.
We have been trying to persuade one of our
prosperous merchants to run for the LPgislompfl
hut Ha "can't find a nlatform to stand
on." He Is neither a dude nor a politician, a
Granger or farmer, and While he loves inde- j]
pendencehe does not think that platform will
win this time. r
Agriculture is the watchword, but, mark
my words, agriculture will be a side-show before
this campaign 5s over. The political
soreheads and outs have puz/led their brains -y
to manufacture some kind of a base on which A
to ride into office, and have made up their v
minds that the farmers of the country
are easiest fooled, hence the call for a ?
farmers' convention. We don't believe this
scheme will be so easily played as some peo- p
pic imagine. As far as our information ex- jj
tends the farmers are a thoughtful, prudent
class of men, and we do not believe they are (<
so easily entrapped as some people would Immrinp,
hut be would warn them in time to a
look well to the front. The near future will ^
develop some astounding facts. Our Iden is ?,
that the farmers are not so anxious for the of- L
ttces themselves, but anxious to put men In '
office who will look after their interests, but p
not to the *n ex led of other interests. They tt
will find sharp scheming men who nre ready 8.
to make promises to serve them. We think tt
would be weil to bring some new men to the y
Iront. The old horses are tired; let them (j
wind awhile. y
We have investigated the matter and find 1
that Mr. (i. Mike Kinard lives a little bit v
nearer Ninety-Mix than Greenwood, but it is
a much better road, and at the same price he c
would rather haul to Grfeenwood than Nine- ti
ty-Six.- We only mention this as we would t
not knowingly misrepresent things. We
want to be right, on the record Mr. "Y. Z "
C'apt. Hale sells shoes from Boston, but car- \
ries a very pretty side line, product of South ti
Carolina.
The Ninety-Six and Cokesbury Railroad n
brfnds have all been duly .signed, and now the
three hundred hands at work m-ed not have G
any fear at>out their pay. We would also g)

The County Commissioners met at Boyd's c
mil I a few days past to let the contract for the 1
building of a bridge across .Saluda river, when
It was decided to petition the Board of Coun- ty
Commissioners for a real first class bridge,
which petition, it is hoped may be granted. ^
As all know, theSaluda Is the line between 1
Laurens and Abbeville counties, and It cer- ttainly
seems that two as prosperous counties c
as these are, can atfbrd to build a brides that
will last fot years, instead of one, which at 9
best, will last not more than two years, which 'j
are the bind that have been build at that d
Elaoe lor tne past ten years, anu nave cuHi>t
oth counties more than the price of two first ?

them,and quite a loss to the Greenwood merchant.
We hope the Hoard will give the

favorably upon it.
We thank "East End" for his compliment,
and Assure him Hint we will certainly do all
that lies in our limited power for the success i
of th<j fair, and we can speak for most of the
Stony Point Indies doing the same. We are
unable to speak for (hose of the "Coronaea
counti-y," as we know nothing of their sentiments
In regard to the fair. Why does not
some of the Inhabitants of Coronaea write
the news from their town? We think that
the voting man from that nlace who signs ills i
name "Sugar," won Id make a sweet correspondent,
at least. Let us hear from him.

Dkak Sijt? I have glanced over your?what! i
Khali I call It, (documents)?troubles, or ttiiii- j *
en I ties, in reference to your free schools in 1
White Hull township. And I do not doubt i
that yon have had grievances enough to hilve i
Buldaureat deal morte thiui you liave said, t
although you did not ahreviate much. But f
If you had had as long expedience in the busi- *
j ness as we have had, and as Jitile success, I j
j don't know how you could have mustered up i t
' courage enough to have tackled as big a thing <
| (or fraud I should Hhve said) as the fiee school! <
I system is. we nave oeeu paying as mucu { i
! tax to support the free school since its Inaugu- f
| ration as anybody else, and have argued the j 1
; question with School Commissioner after : i
School Commissioner, and with township it
Trustees, but to no avail. All the benefit we , ]
' i have received?If any at all?was in 6ehding I <
:j our little barefoot children from three to five'
ij miles, ami that tlirobgh fields, brbbmsage, 11
11 briar patches, dense forests, and marshy ji
i branch bottoms; And besides all tbrtt, well
; have had to supplement the free school fund | !
i from oUr prlviite purse, in three br four; t
i months, to an amount sufficient to have paid j j
I twelve months tuition under tire old plan J i
I when we could have had a voice in the loca- j
I tion of the school, and theemployment of tin', i
teacher. So you will discover that the ell IK ]
uren on the east side of Hard Lnbor creek are 11
not all that are left out in the cold. But we j?
j have come to the conclusion* not from choice, i
.: but for want of some Way to help ourselves, 11
to riilse up our children In blissful ignorance, i j
notwithstiuidlng the great etluentlohal facllPI

McCormicic, March 29, 1rs6.
Last Sunday morn ins: the sun row? not to
liinw lor it was obscured by a thick cloud all
ay. To us in town It was a gloomy day.
.'early every family In town had some one
ick, and one sweet little eirl died. Truly it
eemed as if adversity had \isitcd us all.
Vhen the heavens are covered with clouds,
nd the rain pours down In torrents, we feel
loomy, not because we deem the inclement
.euther to he tnlurious. for we experience Its
appy effects in reviving n:iture mat in puriying
tlie atmosphere, hut because tlieatmoshere
like a heavy weight depresses our spires.
More especially was It lelt in our little
D\vn last Sunday, when our hearts weye cast
own by providential trials.
At an early hour Sunday morning Marie
'raylor, one of t.ur sweetest little fiirls was
aken from us. She was but lhree and a half
oars of nge, Hie daughter of Mr. A. A. Trny3r.
She knew no strangers and had a pleas,ut
smile lor everyone. She was buried at
ur at;w cemetery at 4 o'clock Sunday evenug.
Rev. Mr. Ue'l made a few very approprlte
remarks, based principally on the lmporuneeof
preparing for deat h. We extend our
leartfelt sympathies to the bereaved ones.
Tlie measles have not abated one iota s'.nce
ny last letter, but are on the Increase.
Messrs. Cox and Traylor have paled In the'.r
:>ts. We wish thut every person who own
:>ts in town would have them paled in. It
rould be such an Improvement in looks.
Dr. 0. A. Traylor, a recent graduate of the
Lugusta iMedlcaTCollege, has commenced the
ractice of medicine in good earnest. We
vIkIi t.hr> <iont,or sucL-ess in everv ease and a
urge practice.
Mr. Kuy, of Honea Path, has moved down,
nd will occupy the store house recently ocupled
by Mr. Alex Smith. We ure glad to
lave Mr. Kay with us, ana hope lie may be
'leased with our town.
Mr. A. D. Smith has moved bis stock ol goods
Dto the old Advance office.
Mr. P. L. Sturkey took In the quarterly
rieetlng at Troy last Saturday. Several of our
oung men went up on Sunday*
The Baptist congregation have decided to
iave their church plastered on the sides and
eiled overhead. They will have a very prety
building when this is done.
Quite a change In the weather this morning
-raining and very cool.
Would it not be well for the Council to see
Ir. Jas. Cothran, Jr., and have all the pine
rees cut down and leave only oaks for shade
recs ? We think It would add a hundred per
ent. to the looks of the town.
Mr. W. N,Tennant Is sick with the measles

Cokesbitky. S. C.( March 1'), 188G.
JSrlttor Press and Manner:
In addition to the questions, enumerated in
ny note to you hist week as legitimate topics
>1" discussion by tanners in the .State Con ventolin
it appears to me that our common
choois flttord another subject equally within
he purview of such ('(invention. We all
ill know that a very large amount of money
s collected for I he support of these schools and
vo leaj*n much money is monthly paid for a
Irst or second-class teacher, but I question
rery much whether the School Commissioner
>r the School Trustees, or anybody clse? can
issert unequivocally, that this money is dis>ursed
in the-most economical manner.
Let me illustrate, if I am correctly Informed,
my intelligent beardless youth may secure
>v Kiwcfstiil examination, u tlrsi or second
jrade teacher's certificate, and when the
lmit comes, open up a free school composed
>f the children of his community, and leach
hem as long as the free school fund lasts.
kVhen that is exhausted, this teacher* perlaps,
attends as a scholar some public school
it the nearest depot, Court House, or elsevhere,
whilst his former pupils are turned
oosc upon their parents for the next eight or
line months to grow up like noxious weeds
.vithout cultivation or care. That this sysem
does prevail in some sections of the
$tate, I am quite sure, and the question Is,
ihould It he allowed, or enn it not be improved?
It appears to me that If these lit tle
ihams upon anything worthy of being
jailed a school, were disallowed, and these
children encouraged to attend the nearest
aublic school, these aggregated pittances of
salaries, going into the treasuries of said pubic
schools, would so enhance the income of
t* manager that he would be Induced to give
i longer term of tuition to these non-pnylng
jupllsthan they can possibly get from the
jommon schools.
True, itwoUld force a number of them to
ravel a much longer distance to reach the
public schobl, and for this reason this quesIon
is a vital one to the farmers, for it is
h*lr children, who from the very nature of
,he case, would have to splash through mud
1 .11..* ??ii ot oil tlitioc uHnri nml
111(1 II11 U iliui ?ni?v uv ltd ......... .......
iveather through these increased distances,
Imagine one of these little three-or-fourmonths
tuition schools situated two miles
S'orth, 8onth. East or West of Abbeville
'ourt House, each paying to Ids own teacher
>ne hutjdtvd dollars; if they were all closed
ip and these four hundred dollars added to
be treasury of the high or public school at
Vbbeviille Court Houst*, would It not socure
or t he pupils of these four sinall schools tul,ion
for a Session or perhaps a term!' This is
i (question well worthy the consideration of
ho people and especially of the fanners of
he State..
Very respectfully,
