A Little Boy Whipped nt School. _
They are having Itroable In the school at ?
Pickens. One of the teachers Is charged with
cruelly beating a little boy. 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.

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. .
