VAN WYCK ITEMS.

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
. . .

Van Wyck fishing club has not
^ reorganized this spring. The
weather and water may have some
thing to do with it, but the general
onininn is that it* lat.? nr?*i
dent "fisherman .Jim" who has
re
moved to North Carolina took
ve
jn with him the most of the fishing
jx spirit, and what little is left is
used in fishing on land and bids
to be fairly successful. One of
HI the dab mem hers makes periodical
visits to our neighboring city the
home of "fisherman Jim" for
more and'fuller instructions

? 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.
