The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. i _ ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^-Published every Wednesdp at. 92 a year Id advance. Wednesday, June 10, 1903. Mr. Montgomery* "Much Feeling.' The reporter of the August** Chronicle, Id peaking of the recent great flood which did so maoh damage, Rays: "Mr. Montgomery evinced much feeling at the drowning of a.faithful negro employe who bad been with the mill for years, and who lost his life trying to save floating balet of goodB and cotton." Perhaps some of those operatives wbo have been as faithful as was the negro, and whc may have lost husbands, children and othei Kinarea, migni ooqboib .ur. muuttuuim; m the "much feeling" which he evinced for the negro. In case they could not comfort Mr. Mont gomery, It 1b possible thai some of thepov erty-strlcken people, who were dependent upon their Jobs for a living, could console the gentleman who Is so much perturbed about the drowning of the negro. In case that neither of these olasses oould assuage Mr. Montgomery's feeling, It is possible that the stockholders of the mill whose fortunes have been swept away, might add s balm to his feeling by reoltlng the faot that they were ruined In estate, and that henceforth poverty and destitution would Btare them in the face, and stiok to them closei than a hrnlhor. If none of these could console tbe lament log employer, resolutions of condolencc by a miu meeting of the hundreds of white people who bad assembled on tbe bankBOJ tbe raging stream, and were helpless wit. eites of Infants, children, women, and strong men being swept away to their death, might comfort him. It will be noticed thai the negro was not trying to save human life bat was drowned trying to save bales 01 ootton. It was truly noble in the faithful employe to try to save cotton, while poor, helpless people were being drowned. In hours of distress, sympathy and kind words are very consoling, and It is to be hoped that Mr. Montgomery may be able to stand up under tbe "much feeling" which be has "evinced" over tbe drowning of his "faithful negro employe," and that some time later o'n be may give others at least a passing thought ??-?? The Flood. We give considerable spaoe to reports from the flood at Paoolet and Clifton mills. Tbe details of loss and suffering give further proof of that touoh of humanity that ex lata between as all. We realise very folly the great loss and suffering that moat oome to the mill people and bow macb flnanolal loss must oome to a oommnnlty wben an aooldent like tbla oeenra. or wben, from any canae, a great manufacturing establishment must close its doors. But with all tbese facts before us, how few of na realize or appreciate the advantage to be derived by the establishment of auoh institutions. We take blcasings and benefits as a matter of course, but we acoept calamity with a great expression of lamentation. If the trade of the people benefits the business of a people, why should we not make more and greater effort to establish such Institutions? We give liberally to the relief of the distressed, but we are alow to give an Impetus to prosperity. $r Death of Mrs. DaPre. Tbe death of Mrs. Sallle Marshall DuPre on last Friday was lamented by a large numbei of our people who loved her so well. Foi months she has been In declining health, but ber cheerfulness and her hopefulness remained with her to the end. Although abe real' Ized her Impending doom, yet no sadnesc came to ber, bat her friends mourned as they saw tbe evidence of tbe stealthy approaoh 01 man's last great enemy. A good woman, a lovely wife, a dutiful daughter, and a fond mother has been cut down before ber sun bad risen to the meridian. Not Necessary. In polite society It Is not necessary to state who Is tbe mother of a man's oblldren. In a well-regulated .Christian community tbe maternity may be taken for granted?bb e matter of oourse. ,V~" ? Doe West Commencement. V. Quite a number of our people went to Due West yesterday to witness the Interesting ex< ere lies In Ersklne, and today a full delegation will go to see the pretty girls.

All the bridges In the country were washed away. 1 Nearly every grlBt mill la the npper part ol . the country 1b gone. The railroad to Ashevilla Is badly washed.

Farms Id the cloudburst belt are badly damaged, but the people are cheerful and have gone to work with a will and pull out of this disaster, Clifton and Pacolet stock Is not for sate. It Is considered good and people will hold it. The Clifton Mills separated by the river, and the two tbAt are partly Btandlng on the other side. For two days It was difficult to get direct news from these mills The dead are being burled and It Is probable that some of them will never be known.

"Several South Carolina editors are jj dvocating a quick return to the ree use of the rod at home and at chool. The recent exhibitions of ouths in public schools have demontrated tiJfct they have been permitted u injurious freedom of conduct at 'p$\ tome ; have been placed under little ir no restraint, and while yet in knee >reeches consider ineir uigun,y vi vastly more importance than good ,, nanners or morals. There are peo)le who are now questioning the wislom of Splomon, but the old fellow's , deas in regard to the application of he rod still have a respectable fol- '-;4 owing." The above paragraph is from The State of May 21. J t seems that news)aper men as well as school teachers <re getting to be very much interested n the discipline in the schools. And veil they may be. The problem, is rttal, far reaching and urgently press- '< ng. In discussing it one can do a r '-r< great deal of theorizing. But no theories which do not grow out of facts ire worth much. Many people have i radically wrong idea of what a true .1 education is and the purpose for which children are sent to school. The most mnnrtunt t.hincrs learned at school are , : Q regularity, punctuality, obedience, in- M iustry and respect, both for themselves ind others. Some people do not take this view of the subject. They tbipk ^ their children are better than those of 3ther people; that their children must aot be corrected and controlled; that '.? their children may insult, oppress and mistreat both scholars and teachers "-m and yet must not themselves be effectually corrected. Some scholars have Lhe idea that *ll\ey can and ought to do as they please, vfhey think they most be allowed to do various indecent ^ things. This spirit brings trouble all ^ along the line. It produces envies, jealosies and bickerings amoug the scholars. It puts the teachers in such - " a position that it is difficult for them not to be accused of favoritism and partiality. These are^acts familiar to all who have looked into school life. ' Three factors enter into the making & of a well regulated school. The first ' ? is good teachers. But no matter ho*r efficient they are they can do very lit- / - i tie if the other conditions are absent. ' . 'V oonnnH fnnthp ifi ffood tmatees Who /{$ X Ub OVWUW 0 ... know their duty and are not afraid to ^ doit. The knowledge of how to conduct a school does not comeby chance,- ..3;i A man may be a born poet but he becomes a good trustee only by careful. >*''&& work along school lines. The third . * ,/r$ factor is the parents. They must cooperate with the teachers and trustees. If they put ideas of resistance, t : of superiority, of pride of scorn, of disdain, of disobedienoe, into the heads of their children then trouble may be v expected. And many parents, whether intentionally or not, do just this very thing, and then when trouble comes tbey are very prompt and very certain to condemn the teachers. Some parents think that their children , may do anything, but that the teacb- era must not correct them. No,, they are too good to be corrected, .Then trouble is on hand. If a boy can't be* have himself, if he can't ooey, 11 a? is a tyrant among the scholars, if he ; '' > can't be respectful to the teachers, : 3 why should he not be sent home and made to stay there? Again, why should some who are unruly be sent home and others who are just at bad not be sent home? Are there any, lordly families iu this couutry who have special rights? Any boys in this country who by great family' birth have the right to corrupt their fellow students and mistreat their teachers; if so, where did they obtain the right? Why do not trustees some times say as a body that discipline shall be just, fair, impartial, inflexible and that there shall be no retipect of persons? Why may not teachers, backed by the trustees, say fearlessly and kindly that there shall be order t Why may not patrons, as suoh, say to both trustees and teachers that there sball be regularly ana impartial- r-tgly such discipline as will insure the successful working of the school ? No . teachers can conduct a successful school without the hearty, full and ' regular cooperation of both trustees and parents. These remarks apply to ,- - m all schools everywhere. We have no particular school in view. We are ?. :Vv interested in them all and desire that <: > ;*i they all maj become agent? in buildiog up thtf commonwealth in the most efficient manner.

And when men run for civil office, or are eeeking for business positions, it is well enough, before helping them to secure these places to ask whether they were obedisnt and faithful in their school life.
