VAN WYCK ITEMS. 18 | jn News has not been passing this way this week, or if it has, ()ptiinu8 Iihs failed to catch it. It is a deplorable condition when ly there is not enough news to keep jr the tongue sufficiently employed aH in passing it from neighbor to er neighbor and a community has to er resort to gossip as a past time, m and many a time give an innocent person a stab in the back, that time can never heal. Some of {)f these gossipers are far seeing and jj far talking persons. They can tell all about a person when ho is 8 out of hearing or seeing distance, 1(j but when they are brought face ry to face, their backbone is too he weak to stand the test, and they er know nothing about what had been said. It would take a double application of strengthening plast)g. ers to get them in fair condition, i?. to exDlode in the nresenee of th? IIO * 1" p? indivedual whom they have niag. Hgned. (r Van Wyck section is not al!}i together free from the gossi|>er, )r but he in abroad here in the land as well as in other parts of the country. The gossijier and chronic ^ grumble^ are two characters, that the country could well spare, but un it takes all kinds of (>eople to make a world. If they can not jH be managed in anv other way, humanity should build an asylum lis for them, whore they could be taught to mend their ways. There was a called meeting last Tuesday evening for the trustees and patrons of Van Wyck school, nt' for the purpose of amending the n- school laws of South Carolina. 116 When the object of the meeting is- was explained, no one would own r- to making the call, and the father ty of it denied the child. The luw ? H still remains the same, and the progenitor of the Amendments will have to wait until he becomes a member of the legislature of South Carolina, and then perno . . . x baps his movements will material or *7'6' Van Wyck fishing club has not ^ reorganized this spring.

SCHOOL CHART FIRM. I Wauts to Provide Libraries for ' the Schools. ' The. superintendent of eduea' tion has received from B. O. 1 Evans & Co., the school chart men, a letter asking permission 1 to canvass the schools of the State in the interest of a school library gotten up by them. Of course the superintendent wid pay no attention to the request. The j tirm states that it is no longer | pecuniarily interested in the chart matter. They have gotten their monev and tho trustees who j bought from them will be the i losers. Sometimes, when we ask mer- I chants for advertisements, they tell us that they really have nothing that it would pay them to advertise. That is equal to sayintr that they nave nothing -worth letting the people know about. Now suppose mat me people know such to he the case.? Waxhaw Enterprise. A western man. who was recently invited to a seat on the floor of the house at Washington, indignantly refused saying that he was accustomed to sit on chairs at aoiue. A1 ways trade with a man or tirm that appreciates your putronage enough to ask you for it, and that too, through the advertising col. umns of the town paper. It is human nature to go where we feel that wo are wanted; but when we i are not invited we are not altogether eei tain that we are wanted.
