VAN WYCK ITEMS. t
t
Mad dogs have been creating a
stir again, and a number of ca- 1
nines between the fork of Twelve i
Mile Creek and the Catawba Riv- 1
er had to pay the penalty for being
caught in bad company.
'ldie S. A. L. will run an excursion
to Wilmington on the 19th of
.1 ulv and return on 21st, giving"
* '001
the excursionists two days to enjoy
the sights of the ocean beach.
The railroad company will make
every effort for a successful excursion
and pleasant time for those
l
who avail themselves of the trip.
The rates are very low for the ne
eomniodations offered. Mr. G.
Mel* Ilatte, Trav. Pass. Agt. of
the S A L, visited Van Wyck last
Wednesday in interest of this ex^
eursion and will spare no pains to .
make it a success. .
Mr .J Cantzon Foster spent last I
Saturday and Sunday in Van Wyck
guest of Mr. .1 M Voder and family.
He was on his way to take
charge of Osceola school, where
he will he engaged for several
r> o
months, in teaching the young
idea how to shoot.
Commercial salesmen have been
few and rapid travelers about
Van Wyck this week. Some oth
or business men have been lingering
around and from present indications,
business around Van
Wyck is going to bo revolutionized.
There has been one or two
meetings of "the 400 of Van
Wyck" this week.
We overheard an amusing "lap
mis Lingue'* of a married woman
of two scores?a few evenings
since. Her husband was expect
ing some important business papers
and she inquired if he had
heard anything from his divorce
documents.
The Woodmen of the World
are still searching the forest for
desirable timber and have found
some very valuable material.
Cedar Camp at its next mooting
will introduce seven new
members in the protection degree
and a few other side degrees for
which our festive goat is longing
for participations. Woodmen are
coming in, not only from the old
North State. We have a live
uamp and expect to make it more
lively as we grow older?even apparently
changing the nature of
things. Cedar Camp has planned
a basket pic nic for August ldth,
at which will bo able speakers to
impress tho benefits of woodcraft.
The condition of Dr. N is bet remains
unchanged. He is still
<|iiite ill, but hopes of his recovery
are maintained.
,J M Yoiler left for Iiock Hill
District Conference on Thursday.
He is a delegate representing Van
Wvck charge, and knows how to
destroy chicken as well as the average
Methodist preacher.

Work of the Life Saving Bureau
in Texas Flood District.
Washington, .July 11. ?The
life-saving bureau has received |
the following telegram from Supt
Hitchins at Galveston, Tex., who
with a force of life savers has
been operating in the flooded districts:
"Have rescued 542 people.
Seven to fifteen feel of
water over the cotton and cane
plantations. Some drowned. Many
narrow escapes. Have surf boat
and borrowed l>oat and seven men
operating now under keepers." I
[For The Ledger.
V'lierc Does The Money Come
From ?
Mr Editor:?Without any
preliminary remarks, we will
'dine at once to the matter to
vhieh we wish to call attention.
iVe understand there is, at this
ime, a school going on in Lancas:ei\
known as the Teachers' Institute.
We understand also that
the professor, who is the instructor
in that school, is to he pai?t 50. 00
per month for his services.
Now, if these are facts, we wish
to know where the money to pay
this professor is to come from?
Is it to come out of the public
school fund which was levied,
collected, and set apart for the
education of the children in the
county between the ages of 6 and
21 years? If so by what authority
is the money directed into this
channel for which it was not designed
? Thcro may be some attending
the school who will come
within the school age between (3
and 21, but, it is not probable
that a very large per cent, of the
pupils attending will be of that
class.
Is it not a serious mistake; an
unwarrantable use of the public
funds, to pay one teacher G times
as much as they would another
holding a first grade certificate,
and iu some cases a diploma from
a first class College? We desirp,
and we need, ao'o and elficent
teachers, but we cannot see the
fairness or the propriety in the
present management of this matter.
We would bo glad to^ have
these things satisfactorily explained
by some one who knows.
If we were not interested in the
pub'ic schools, and as a free citi
/.en and as a taxpayer having a
right and interest in the public
school fuuds, we would have re
mained silent. If any who arc
between the ages 21 and 70 yeart
wish to uttend school, we thinV
they ought to pay their own tui
tion, and let the children whc
will soon he at the helm of churcl
and State, have the advantage o:
what little public money has beer
provided for thoni.

CHE COTTON LOSS IN TEXAS
rhe Brazos Flood Said to Have
Wiped Out 200,000 Bales.
Austin Tex., July 11.?The
jotton exchange in this city, completed
today tno work of carefully
tabulating the losses on the
:otton crop, attendant upon the
Brazos liver llood. They tind
that ihe loss in the Brazos bottom
will represent 200,000 bales of
cotton, representing $5,000,000
loss.
They also find that the heavy
rains which produced the flood
and ruined the crops in the bottom
have benefitted cotton growing
on the upper lands proportionately,
so that far the best
crops harvested in years will l>e
produced from the uplands this
season.
The Hampton Home.
The central committee which
has had in charge the erection of
a house for (Jen. Hampton has for
that purpose purchased a lot at
the corner of Barnwell and Pen
dleton streets containing onethird
of an acre. The lot was
bought for $ 1,500. The plans
for the house have uot been
adopted, nor is it known when
work .will commence, but there
will be no more delay than is absolutely
necessary.
The site purchased is near the
home of Mr. John P. Thomas, Jr.,
in the extreme oastorn part of the
city.?The State.
Bigamist Pleads Guilty.
Barnwell, July 13.?Chas F
Pons appeared in court this morning
and pleaded guilty to the
charge of bigamy and was sentenced
to two years imprisonment
in the penitentiary or on the cnaingang
or, in the alternative, to pay
a fine of $500 uud to tie imprisoned
six months in the county jail.
A scientist has just discovered
that each puff of a cigarette turns
loose in the atmosphere 2,900,000,000
nauseating particles. By
a little figuring on this basis it is
easy to come to the conclusion
that the proposition to isolate
cigarette fiends is founded on a
sound principle.
To ensure ft supply of lieets for
their sugar factory in Ventnra
county, California, the Oxnards
have purchased 12,000 acres of
land, which they will cut up into
small tracts and lease to persons
who will work under supervision
of the factory experts.

Our Chester neighbors are making
extensive preparations for the

other visitors expected to attend
the division reunion in that city
on July 28th, 20th and 30tb. The
arrangements are in the hands of
a competent, wide awake and
hustling committee, and they propose
to spare neither labor nor
expose in giving their guests a
good time. The indications are
that about 5,000 visitors will be
in Chester during the reunion,
but amble provision will be made
for the comfoit and entertain*
ment.
