Most SHtisfiu'tory Bcjfinuinjf of the Xew Session?Assignment of Tench- ni er*. ^ ^ The Abbeville Graded School opeoed on j Monday with an enrollment of 309 pupils, ra superlotendunt Gllleam and all the teachers ] were in their places. \\ The exercises wereT opened* with de- j votlonal services conducted by Rev. W. R. Mi Earle. W. A. Templeton, chairman of the ] board of trustees, announced the program 0. and took occasion to congratulate the cbll- ] dren upon the auspicious opening of the J. sixth term of the Abbeville Graded School. ] He said the building had been improved on ro the outside, and that the equipment on the ] inside was in fair condition, that a splendid Br corps of teachers nan oeeu eiecieu una mai j with dilllgence. faithfulness and obedience ga on the part of the children, this would bp j the best school term the Abbeville Graded S. School had ever had. ] Rev. Edward McCrady was then Introduce F. ed and spoke for about twenty minutes on ] the general subject of education. His re- Ki marks were timely ana suggestive. He said ] the true end of all education was character la* building ] Supt. Gilliam was then introduced. His Di remarks were addressed to the patrons and F. friends of the school. The people of Abbe- ] vllle, he said, were to be congratulated upon VV their Graded School?upon the building, ] which was as good as the best; upon the high ra standing of the community, which Insured ] the high moral tone of the school: and upon jo the efficient Board of Trustees. He said the j board was wise in giving discretionary pow- d. ers to the teachers, and that he felt shure j the board desired to live up to its published j. rules providing for the Investigation ot ] complaints. lei Mr. Gilliam said he would always wel- ] come any suggestions or criticisms from patrons. The superintendent had been In- j vested with authority sufficient for the man- j, agement of the school. But tbere was a j more Important question than authority? confidence and co operation?and confidence ] would not long remain In the scbooUf it was so wanting In the home. The teachers wonld ] endeavor to walk In such a way as to de- t. faenant r\t tha ruinnlA nf t h ft mm. 1 rounity. The teachers yere much gratified Hi already by the many expressions of kindly j sympathy and confidence, and by the many Jo promises of earnest co-operation, on the part ] of tbe patrons. R. These practical suggestions were emph- ] sized: Regularity of attendance, punctuality, Br and tbe desirability of the pupils bavins ?f ] lunch. CI In oonclusion, he said, that every teacher ] among thera was thoroughly Imbued with so the idea that in order for a teacher to succeed, j the teacher must have the confidence of the [. patrons, and the only way to have that con- ] fldence was to deserve it. He therefore assured them that each of the teachers would j earnestly endeavor, at all times, to walk in a j. v way that will win the approval of all good ] people. / pa The teachers are: 8.9. 10, Grade?Mr. R.

Nix Negro Children Barn to Dentb While their Parent* are at RellK- ^ Ioun Worship. go Last Sunday night Andy Smith and his 20< wife, living on Mrs. Mary Hughes'place, some dr< five miles north-east of Donalds, felt devout- 1 ly and religiously Inclined. They concluded sal to go to church, leaving their children In the tbi bouse. To keep out robbers they locked or j bolted the doors, which act Imprisoned their six children. Before the parents returned lh( rohoirtiiR nTRurnion the house Q caught Are, and tbe building was consumed. The oblldren perished, and only charred re- ' mains were found In the ashes. rul The light of the burning house together I with the cries of tbe children attracted (be yo attention of neighbors who rau to their re- bel lief, but they reached tbe scene too late. The cei location of the fire prevented their entrance r to tbe building. Tbe pitiful appeals of the do suffering children were appalling and presented a sceue never to be forgotten by those ' who witnessea it and beard the Bcreams of tbe dying children. It Is not easy to describe \ the feelings of witnesses to such scenes. In Usually such calamities befall families that it 1 are Isolated, and so lar aw-iy from others, that of - there are none to witness tbe burning of 11 v- ^ irig flesh and to hear tbe groans and lamentations of tbe dying But in thiscase tbe neigh- aK' bors came in time to witness tbe agonies of go* tbe dying, but too late to give relief. J This newspaper on previous occasion has Crt made deliverance on tue practice of locking ? children In houses. In nearly every county In the State whole families of children have suffered death in the manner just described. ^ - ? tie Mrs. Parker's Illness. For months Mrs. Wm. H. Parker of thU city, has beeu Id bad health, but recently she has been In such a critical condition that her ( absent sons were called home to be with her. ' Mrs. Parker Is distinguished for christian g" zeal In work for the church. Her modesty Jui and her womanly graces are such that they 1 command the respect of all. Universal love 8e( and admiration Is accorded to her because of ^ Oe her goodness of heart and her consideration cb for others. But In the ability and character of ( her children Is reflected the crowning glory a 1 of her life. They are an honor not only to the family Into which they were born, bat 'j they are an ornament to the community in which they were reared. Anion B. Horne'N J.ot-fil*.
