TKo nonrtio in Ahheville crenerally, and especially those who are interest ed in the development of our public i schools to an-ever increasing point of' efficiency, will be glad to know thatj Major J. D. Fulp, who has held the position of Superintendent here for ? ? ? J/s/*i+a wAVMem in , Ttiree years; u? umucu uw inumu ? Abbeville in that position for anoth er year. At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees it was found necessary to make some reductions in salaries' for all officers and teachers and in the schools. It was a matter of re gret that the school district found' itself financially unable on account of the non-collection of taxes and re ductions in assessments to pay the scale of salaries heretofore paid. The reduction in every case was made for financial reasons and with no inten *?*? roflopfin cr nm flip tlUIl VI UiUUgUb vx ivuvv?iii6 VU | work of any officer or teacher in the: schools. The trustees expressed at the time appreciation of the great work done by Maj. Fulp and his corps of teachers, especially the past year. It was feared nevertheless that j with the reduction we would lose the good services of Major Fulp and oth ers connected with the schools whom ? 1 j :n WC WU1U 1U-UUV1U VV iVOC. JL vt ! reason the announcement that he will remain with us brings with it a; f eeling of relief as well as of confi- J dence in the continued good work in; the schools. If the other teachers, including the principals of the Graded and High Schools, will now follow the example set by Mr. Fulp, we can look forward to next year's work with the thought that all is well. It is to be hoped that all those who have been with us the past year will take into consideration the great benefits to be acquired by residing in Abbeville for another twelve months, as well as the fact that this is a very poor school district finan cially, but considering our ability to pay, a well-paying district neverthe less, and again cast their lots with us. It might be worse. GNAWING ON NUTS. Up in Anderson the squirrels in the parks have begun the practice of running out and gnawing on the men as they pass along the streets. The Anderson people think the squirrels have hydrophobia, but the squirrels say not, they have only discovered another variety of nuts. HOW MR. POWER BEATS THE BOLL WEEVIL Henry J. Power, of Brownlee, has thirty acres or Fulghum oats that will average five feet in height and which vrill mako sixty bushels to the acre. He has ibeen growing I Fulghum oats for eight years and! has never had a failure. He sows in j October and they get the winter! rain and mature before a drought strikes them. The oats are begin, ning to ripen and are the finest seen in Abbeville in many years. Mr. Power claims that this is the I beet boll weevil killer yet. He ex_ 1 pects to follow the oats with a crop: of peas. He is one of tfie best farm_ { r* 4... ? ? j ? cio in .nuLruc:vxue i^uuiiiy ctiiu ms | ideas are worth something. He be lieves the remedy for the boll wee. vil is to diversify the crops cut out most of the cotton, and go in for( grain and forag? crops. Mr. Power was in Abbeville today showing a sample of his oats. Dr. Joseph Hicks and J. H. Sher ard of Calhoun Falls were in Abbe ville attending the County Conven tion this morning. THE BAD MADE GOOD. j Col. 0. S. Marston, of Baltimore, sometimes called "The Bad / Man from Baltimore," and who was, but is not now, being married, arrived in the city Friday to see his friend, the Korp. of the Kalone (Dutch), and no'nor) in the city until Monday. The time was when the arrival of the Colonel was the signal for Un cle Jim to step a little longer than j he used to, and for the Korp to hur ry down to the "Newricker," blow ing and shouting, "Great Balls of Blue Mud," but now, nevermore, be cause didn't we tell you that he is married. Great men from little boys grow, and tall oaks fro mlittle acorns too, they say, but that is nothing to com Dare with the change which marriage has wrought on the occasional visitor from the state of the Calverts. He is as dignified now as he was always handsome, as quiet as a setback play er when the latter is getting beat but he talks as interestingly as ever before, except to some of his old friends who claim that his wit has dried a little, and there is not as much about him that is sparkling as in the old days. Anyway everybody was glad to see jhim again, to know that Mrs. Mars ,ton is driving him in high, but under full control, and that he is being steered in the right direction. May | he always run that way. CONFEDERATE VETERANS Annual Reunion Will Be Held In. Darlington May 17-18th. The Annual State Reunion will be held at Darlington, S.

Greenwood, April 29.?According to those in close touch with dispens ers of Republican patronage in this state, the appointment of R. Red Tolbert of Abbeville county as Uni ted States marshal lor the Western district of South Carolina is almost a certainty now that Maj. J. F.
