The present management of school fund in this: school district works a manifest injustice to those who have not the means to educate their children. Although every citizen under the age of 60 years, pays annually a tax of one dollar for free schools, there has never been a free school In the town of Laurens. The fund that is raised for this purpose is.applied to ull schools in the town, according to the number of pupils, and those who can alToi'd to pay a tuition fee of from S2.50 to SI.tO per month get the advantage of one dollar per month from this fund, while those who cannot pay the tuition fees nnv mlv:illt.!lire from the fund. The frec-M-hool money should be applied to one school mid that shool should be free and opejn to al while children so long as the money hist?. The very object or the tax is ilelVated under the present management. The tles gn won to pil'e education to thn.se who were vnabto topay for it. ami as it is, only thoxe Who can pay can enter the schools at all. Even it th? funxl be only sufficient to run a school one month in the year, the poor a< well as the rich pay ttie tax and the school shonld be placed within their reach.?Luuxena Aevertiscr. The above paragraph explains, tlio beauties of the school system whereby the poor nre taxed to support schools for the rich, and from which schools their own children are excluded. Another matter. The people In the towns are always provided with one or more schools, while people who live in the country may often be deprived of school privileges, because of the sparseness of the settlement, but no one lives at too great a distance to pay taxes. The Augusta Chronicle has much to sny about the extra train which the Ncivs and Courier has employed to carry its papers to the city of Augusta. It Is no funeral of ours, but if the train is run at the expense of the yews and Courier, the railroad should not be criticised. It is perfectly right and proper for the railroad to run a train for anybody who will pay for it. The South Carolina Railway Company, no doubt, will run an extra tralu for the Chronicle, it it otters money enough. The New York Herald, we believe, runs extra trains. The Atlanta Constitution did the same Ihing several years ago. In connection with this, we wonld refer to Ihe extra mail which is run daily from Verdery to Abbeville. The yews and Courier and the AugusUt Chronicle have each a mail carrier, which brings their respective papers to town about three hours before the arrival of the train. The Chronicle is immediately distributed by carrier, while the yews and Courier la laid on the counter in the post office, where its subscribers call for their papers during the evening. Often the papers are left in the office until the evening mall is opened, and some times the paper is forgotten wheu taking the other mail from the office. When will the newspapers cease to "regret'' and when will they fail "to be glad"? It seems to us utterly impossible for seme newspapei writers to drop the use of such phrases as: "We are srtrry to learn," Ac *w?* liope mat, ' SC. "?*?J rcgrci uu uiiuci the painful necessity," <?c. We contend that the printer's personal likes or dislikes, his pleasures or pains, are jnatters of no conceivable interest to the public, nnd thnt it is out of place for him to be a professional weeper, or a chronic rejoicer, over matters which in all probability do not give hlin a thought, ir a death occurs in a community, letlhe fact be announced in appropriate tarms, but let not the editor go Into assumed hysterics and undertake to shed crocodile tears. If a neighbor has met with a good fortune, then a proper notice is in order, but it is* not an occasion for the editor or correspondent to undertake to tell the ( tateof his own feelings. Let the writer forget himself. m - ? Journalistic Enterprise. From a recent map, as published by the Chronicle, it seems that the city of Augusta claims a large part of earth as tributary to its commercial prosperity, including Atlanta, Ashevllle. Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston, .Kavannaif and much of the Atlantic Ocean, vtith all the fls-hes therein. There is nothing like putting in big claims and putting them in'early. When the Atlantic Constitution puts in its claim for commercial territory, there will bo nothing left. The enterprise of the Axiguxta Ciironicle in get'ing ahead of the Aflnntifi Onn*/ilutinn is trulv commendable. "Many people here think the proposed tax 011 dogs a Ciipltal thin-/, and hope the Legislature will pass the bill."?Chester Reporter. The Reporter does not say why the ' tax on dogs" Is a good thing. We think a "tax on ^ dogs" would be good under any circumstance. If the proposed tax should be put to some good purpose which would be of some relief to the tax payer. It would be of immense va'jie, but when it is proposed to waste U after it is collected, by increasing the expenditure on the public schools we feel very little Interest in adding the dog tax to the burden of the country. We hope to see the time when special taxes may not be wasted ou the sohools. We believe the public sentiment of Abbeville county is almost a unit in opposition to the President keeping Radicals in office. The Press and Banner believes that the government should be in the hands of officers In sympathy with tlie President,and the Press and. Banner believes the President is liable to err. and it docs not believe that he is too liiph to be criticised for what we may believe to be . Jifs mistakes. ???? The Xeus and Courier of Monday did not come until Tuesday. The paper for Tuesday has not yet arrived. We arc indebted to a passenger who came on the Tuesday's train for a copy of the paper, from which we have ta':en the Conference appointments which appear in these columns. The Verde.y route does not seem to give universal satisfaction. l>ealh of Col. S. M. Gary, of Florida. Through a telegram we learn of the diath of Col. Summerfteld M. Gary, at Ocah., Florida, December 20, 1*86. Col. Gory whs bom in Cokesbury, October 10. Mi lie was the first son of the late Thomas 11. Gary of Coke#bury, and a brother of our townsman Dr. F. F Gary and of the i late General M. W. Gary, of Fdtrefleld. .After graduating nt the Cokesbury Conference Schoool he entered the South Carolina College and graduated with distinction. He k read law at Abbeville under Perrin McGow& an, ami moved to Ocala, Florida, for the purpose of practicing his profession, where he remained until the lime of his death. He acquired both distinction and wealth in his new home, and left a wife and live children, none of whom are married. Upon the breaking out of the late civil war, i he promptly raised a company of Volunteers, and was elected Captain ot the Company, and participated in all the battles of the Florida peninsula, and took a most prominent part In the battle of Olustee. which was fougnt under General Finnegan, where the Confederates achieved a most signal victory over an army of greatly superior numbers. His command w as afterwards transferred to Virgiula. where he was promoieu 10 me huik or Colonel, and shared in all the principal engagements irom thai time until the close of the wur. He was elected a member of the Constitutional Convention of Florida, and In 1n7o he was a deljjatc to the National Democratic Convention at St. Louis. By his thrift and industry he accumulated a great deal of property In and around Ocala, Florida. He leaves a laree-circle of relatives and friends in this county and elsewhere, who will regret to learn ol the death of this dis? iinguislied t-ou of Abbeville county. We had a call last Saturday from Mr. J. F. L ? Adamson. of Troy, who seems to have receiv? <ed this world's favors In good looks and good health. He is a student, and is making rapid progress |n the profession which he proposes to follow in after years. He Is an enthusiastic lover of Troy. He says "the town was very ?maU in the beginning, but tlint In the future it wil' rank as a city like the pre-eminent forest tree, among the largest in the land." Capt. O. M. Mattison, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners Is quite sick At his home near Donaldsviile with puuemoma aud ijjfliuuja<uory rhctaualjaio. t. ' CLOSING THE CONFERENCE. YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS AT ORANGEBURG. Pushing: the Business-"Examination ' 1 Committees Appointed*?Statistics | | Showln; the Growth of the De| nomination?Appointments for the I Coming Year ? Spartanbnry the l'iace of Jfext Meeting:. iVTeir* and Courier. OR\?fGEBri:a. December 'JO.?The ConferI enee met nt half-post 9 o'clock A. M. RellI glous services were conducted by the Rev. R, ! P. Franks, and Bishop J. C.Oranbery took the chair hihI proceeded to dispatch the unusual amount of business before the Conference. The Bishop has given great satisfaction as presiding officer of the Conference. He has looked closely into all details of business, and has I granted to all concerned a patient hearing, j both on the floor of the Conference and in his private intercourse with the members as they irom time to time Interviewed him In refer! ence to their future appointments. One pre i skiing elder said thai he wan llie "first bishop [since the days of Bishop Wightman," the Bishop having evidently pleased suld presiding elder In his appointment, for 1887. The Conference showed a determination today to pull for the shore, no debate being Indulged In except upon the most Important Issues. The Bishop finished the eall of questions of routine business, when the reports of the various committees were read by their j chairmen and were ndopted without debate, ] with one exception. When any speaker showI ed a disposition to detain the Conference for ! the purpose of airing his pet ideas cries of ;"Vote!" "Vote!" were heard all over the i house: so that only those who spoke quickly and to the point commanded the attention of j the audience. Someof the reports of the committees were voluminous documents, containing the usual large percentage of irrelevant matter, detaining the body, and which will add to the cost of printing. Nothing ol unusual importance was contained in those reputs. They gave in detail the condition of the institutions of learning under the foster-i ing care of the Conference, of the book and periodical literature, of the Church, of the Hible cause, of temperance, all of which gave great satisfaction to the body. A proposition was offered to place the Wil: Hams-ton Female Col lege under official patronage of the South Carolina Conference, and i was, after a very spirited discussion, voted down. By recommendation of the board of edncaI tion.the following appointments of coinmit! tees were made to examine young ministers j on the course of study required by the law of the Church: I On Candidates?R.

Men and muldens are being hit In vital parts, and before the New Year's Uny many couples will be joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. Mr. John K. Kay and Miss Tulula B. Howard, both of McCorrnlolt, were married at 7 o'clock 011 Thursday evening, December 8, 18v6. at the Baptist church, the ceremony beins performed by the Ilev. J. A. Bell. The church was handsomely decorated and the music excellent. Immediately after the marriage, the bridal party and a number of invited guests repaired to the residence of Mr. W. K. Howard, tlie bride's father, where a reception was given and an elcsant supper served. The bridegroom is well known here; for his many excellent qualities he has won a host of iricmiH. i uu unuu uno ?n*v?*. r. iriosi lovely daughters. She is loved and admired by everybody. On the 25th ult., at the residence of the bride s mother near Buffalo Baptist church, Abbeville Co, by Rev. .1. A. Bell, of McCoriiiick, Mr. J. P. Lovelas, of Edgefield Co., to Miss M. E. Palmer. This was an exceedingly pleasant and attractive occasion. The br'de presented a charming appearance. The groom looked quite conscious ol his happy attainment and valuable prize. Many friends enjoyed this festive catheringand partook heartily of the splendid supper, and were copious la their congratulations. On the 7th inst., at the residence of the bride's mother, near Buffalo church. Abbeville Co., by Rev. J. A. Bell. Dr. T. E. Jennings, of Modoc, Ednefield Co., to Miss M. E. Trcwlt. This was a joyous nuptial gathering. The bride was beautifully attired in elegant silk of delicate texture, highly ornamented with the falling of a most, handsome tullue veil. The groom was of splendid bearing. A magnificent repast was heartily enjoyed by many relatives and fiiends. It displayed the most epicurean culture and taste, we put down this vicinity rather extra for such affairs. On the 2nd Inst., at the residence of Mr. Holder, near McCormlck. by Rev. J. A.

The present supply of water is not. sufficient for the numerous huge engines that pull long trains of cars by almost every hour of the day. It Is earnestly desired that the undertaking may be entirely successful. It will be a great convenience to the raliroad company, but a greater advantage to the town. When the trains stop for water they also get wood, and It now takes ten cords a day to supply them. Our town can be supplied with water by running pipes to the well; but according to scientific theories water will be hard to get here. Artesian water can be found much easier or nearer the surface of the cart') In Southwest Georgia and on our sea coast, f< r the reason that these is over 0110 thousand feet of earth gone or disappeared In those places, and with It many strattas of hard rock such as granite a;<d flint. The Atlanta artesian well seeins to prove this theory correct. Now we will patiently wait to see what ours will do for science.

He Informs me that forty-five miles of the seventy between heie and Newberry has been graded and that the cro?stles are down for seventeen mllles. He will commence laying the track early In January. and In a short while th* road will be In operation between here and Edgefield. When the Augusta. Edgefield and Newberry It4il'road Is completed It Trill probably be const .?t?fl with the Atlan He and North* west: n Railroad, thus making a continuous line from Augusta Into North Carolina, running throngh one of the richest sectlonn -of South Carolina. In speaking of the grading of the Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry road. Col. Mitchell said that In many sections It had not cost him over SiOO tr> #5000 per mile, ami that It had only cost him 83!>,n00 for the grading of the flr*t forty-one miles of the road. The grading will be finished to Newberry by March 1. The Augns'a, Glbcon and StindersvWe rai lroad will he extended shortly from Sandetfvlllc to Jackson. In Butts Ccunty, where It will connect with the East. Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad. Provided this connection is mn''e. I understand that the East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia will give Augusta a free delivery, that Is. a rehats amounting to the drayage on freight from tho depot to the stores. KewR from Due Wrst. A ssociate Reformed. Presbyterian.
