The patrons of School District

church Sunday afternoon.
M iss Minnie J Massey passed
through Van Wyck last Thursday
on her way to visit relatives in

Mr W W Christen berry of
Concord, is at Mr ,J L Tillman's
Ho has a preparation for the cure
of cancers, ulcers and sores and
has been successful in removing
many stubborn ones. He is treating
one on Mr Tillman that has

his prospective father-in-law as
"tho old goal." We do not know,
if he lines this term as a kind of
revenge, while steering along an
uncleared coast, or he thinks it an
appropriate name.
The Railroad Company is laying
down material at Van Wyck
to replace the section house,
which was recently burned.
The S. A. L. painting crow,
superintended by Mr J W Elliott
is now at Van Wyck, repainting
the company's property. They
travel in their own cars, which
are nicely arranged for living
pamccs, and ornamented inside
and out by potted flowering and
foliago plants and vines, which
give them the appearance of flower
gardens on wheels. These cars
have been at a mmber of S. A.
L. Industrial Pic-nics, and have
been very much admired. They
are attracting some attention here
from those who have an eye for
the beautiful and have had a number
of visitors who have inspected
them and expressed their admiration
for such things in much adjeotivo
language. Some said they
were too lovely, others, most
beautifully grand, and many other
terms were used meaning
much. We agree with them, the
cars aro beautiful and this is the
best word to describe them.

College.
Special to The State.
Williamston, June 26.?It baa
been the diatom for several years
with the two societies of the Williamston
Female college to arrange
for an intellectual treat in the
shape of an address by some able
speaker at the close of the school,
and on last Thursday night the
annual address was delivered by
Prof. J L. Mann, superintendent
of the graded schools of Florence.
A more pleasing and appropriate
speech was never listened to on
any previous occasion than the
one delivered by this talented
young educator. Prof. Mann
took for his subject "The fetrategic
epoch of the south."
Good Rains at Last.
The backbone of the long drouth
was broken Monday afternoon
when this section was blessed with
much needed ratm In this city
we were favored with a good
garden season. At Edgetnoor and
Mt. Holly the rain fell in torrents,
aim noting almost to a cloud
burst. A few miles westward the
rains were good, but iu the Smith's
Turnout neighborhood as well as
the Newport community the fall
was very light. ? Rock Hill Herald

Mr. Editor:?Wo are needing
rain at present. Crops are looking
well but will be late &h much
of the corn crop has been pjanted
since the recent rain, and as we
failed to get good stands of cotton
until after the rain.
We are sorry to note that two
of Mr. David Kings children are
down with fever.
Mr. J II Thompson and familyvisited
relatives and friends in
this neighborhood Saturday and
Sunday.
I noticed a correspondent from
Kershaw, stated in your last issue
that the patrons and trustees of
the graded school there are at
variance with each other. .Isn't
it a grent pity that such is the
case. I am sorry it is so, but
Kershaw is not the only school
district whero the patrons and
trustees connot agree. We com mend
the Superintendent of Education
for his wisdom in giving
the patrons of tho various school
districts a voice in the selection of
their trustees. Considerable dissatisfaction
exists in our school
district, especially among tho
patrons of the Bethel school.
There are two school house in
the distract, Newcut and Bethel,
and so far as 1 know, the Newcut
school is managed to the tiest
interest of all concerned. The
patrons are allowed a voice in the
selection of their teachers or any
other matter of interest to ^he
school and there is never any
kicking done but all ?ra willing, to
be governed by the will of the
majority. But, X am sorry to
s*ate that a little ring is allow.*!
to boss the patrons Qf the ?3ethel
school, and the leader of th*t
ring is a North Carolinian. This,
Mr. Editor, is the only reason
that wo oppose the present board
of, trustees.
According to the request of the
county Superintendent of Educa,tion
the patron* of Bethel school
house met at the school house the
24th inst., at S o'clock p. m., for
the purpose of nominating trustees
for the district. But we
learned, when too late to attend
there, that, by order of the trustees,
the meeting would, be heUl at
the Yarborough mill. The trustees
only let the little ring know
where the meeting would be held
&nd those who opposed it necessarily
failed to meet with them. The
trustees may have meant for tho
little ring to make it known
fimong the patrons of the Bethel
ichool where to meet but for a
purpose it did not do it.
Trustees should not be bosses,
neither should they bo bossed by
uiy indivuluul. 'They have great
Authority, but shonid use it in
carrying out the will of the majority
of the patrons, especially
iv llmil it uiaiim i _ ?
.. nvwiu UUV ^1 DVB iiein*
mental to the beet interests of the
school.
According to the constitution,
ill men are horn free and equal.
Nothing ie prized higher by a
true American than liberty, than
freedom, and nothing grinds a
patron of a free public nchool
more than to bo denied a voice in
the management of the same.
I think it is right and proper
for the trustees to call a meeting
of the patrons of the schools and
illow them to elect their teachers.
I #ay, down with ring rule; down
_:?l * i? i
mm me HOBS DU81D6S8, for BO
loner as tbo trustee* set as bosses
ind the patrons be denied a voice
in the management of their school,
lust so long will strife exist l?etween
patrons and trustees, the
people l?e divided and the free
iiiblic school system fail to ac*>
omplish its great and noble purpose.
