The teacher has been Indicted on a charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The principal 01 iue auuuoi una ucou iuuiu nu uu ? charge of aiding and abetting and being accessory. The trial of the PlokeDS teachers Is to come off at the Juns term of Court. It has _ been suggested that tbe woman wbo did tbe 1 whipping ought to resign. The Pickens Sentlne!-Journal Is very pronounced against tbe aot of cruelty to tbe child, and thinks tbat whipping In school should be abolished That paper thinks kindness and taet better than beating, In] which opinion we concur. r On Jannary 28, tbe Court House Committee x opened bids for tbe furnishing of the New Conrt room and offices, with chairs, desks, ? tables eto. Tbe competitors for ths contract were tbe Fielding and ;All?n Company, Tbe American Sealing Company S and tbe Kerr Furniture Company of Abbeville. Tbe contract was awarded to' /tbe Kerr Furniture Company wbo far under- ^ bid all tbelr competitors. On last Wednesday at tbe office of tbe City CoddoiI bids were' 3 opened for tbe seating of the City Rail and for seating the Court room of the Court bouse The bidders In tbIs case were: Fielding and " Allen, the American Seating Company, The Kerr Fornltnre and the Calvert and Niokles 4 1 furniture Company. Mesals Calvert and Niokles of Abbeville were the successful bid- J ders. \ Last week In noticing the awarding of con' tracts we unintentionally stated that to Messrs Calvert and Nlckles were awarded both oontraca. When the fact Is that to the i Kerr Furniture was awarded the contract for the furnishings of the Court hou9H, while to c Messrs Calvert and Niokles was awirdeJ the oontract for seating the City Hall and Court room. Abbeville is to be congratulated on keeping these contracts at home and Messrs Cal- J vert and the Kerr Furniture Company deserve a bine ribbon each for upholding our reputation. We may again make the state- J ment that our business men stand at the head of the profession. And so we prosper. The fact that these Arms can so far out bid the great wholesale furnishing companies and mannfacturers of the county Is evidence enough that Abbeville is the place to buy I furniture. .
