MAJ. FULP REMAINS.
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

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

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.

TO PATRONS OF CITY SCHOOLS
As the three schools in the city
will be conducted for the ninth month
and pupils will be taught regardless
of whether their parents have agreed
to pay tuition or not, it will be nec
essary for every pupil, not ill, to at
tend school the ninth month or else
fail to be promoted to the next high
er grade. The opportunity is given
every pupil in the schools at present
to continue the session's work and no
pupil will be promoted who does not
attend the last month except in
cases of illness, when an opportunity |
will be given to stand the final exam- j
inations later in the summer. But:
such opportunity will not be afforded I
those who intentionally absent them
selves from school the month of May.
The provision of the Compulsory At
tendance Act also remain in force
until June 2.
An exception to the above regula
tion will be cases where the pupil has
so far failed each' month to make a
passing grade, and it is the opinion
of the teacher and superintendent
that such pupil is not ready for pro
motion. Parents of such pupils will
be notified during the next week and
these delinquent pupils will not be
required to attend the last month of
school as they will not be promoted
and will have the same work again
next session AS tllPV ara tiavinrr fVnc
one.
The final examinations for the
eleventh grade will be held during
the week of May 13 and finals for all
other grades will be held during the
week of May 22. The graduating
exercises will be held in the Opera
House the evening of June 2. There!
are twenty-five young ladies and
men in the graduating class this year.

TOLBERT WAY GET
REPUBUCAN PLUM i
Abbeville Man Said To Be Slated
For Marshal in Western
District .
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. Jones
of Blacksburg has been appointed to
be collector of internal revenue. Ma
jor Jones is allied with the Tolbert
faction of the Republican party in
this state.
The appointment of collector has
been between Major Jones and Mr.
Tolbert, it is understood, and now
that Major Jones is collector, Mr.
Tolbert is slated for the marshalship.
It is stated on good authority that
the appointment of Mr. Tolbeft will
be made in a short time. Charles J.
Lyon, at.present marshal, has not re
signed, but it is rumored that his
resignation has been asked for or
that it has been intimated to him
that his resignation will be accept
able.
Officials are contemplating instal
lation of a central heating plant in
Tokyo, Japan.
