To the Editor of the Dispatch: You will please allow me space in your paper to bring before the public a few facts in regard to my supposed connection with the Palmetto Institute at this place ? ' i ' 11 _ Jiy name came out in uie paper in August as the duly elected assistant iu the school, ami the impression has gone out that I am teaching, having received several letters of congratulation from friends not in the county. I am not willing to rest under false impressions and will make a few statements in regard to this matter. In the first place, the patrons held a meeting and elected five men as the Executive Committee, or Trustees as they may be called, viz;Messrs. Wingard, George, Redd, Ballentine and E. B. Roof, the last named is also a trustee of the public school, the other two being Messrs. D. L. George and J J Fox. The trustees called a meeting (which the Public board now claims to be illegal) and elected Prof. E. J. Drelier principal. A short time after another called meet ing of the patrons was announced in the paper for the election of an assistant. My application was before the body, as was that of Miss Olga Hen diix, when Mr. lloof came in and withdrew it after it was placed before the chairman, I was then unanimously elected and was thus notified by the Secretary the next day." Some time after the Trustees of the Public School held a private meeting and two of them, E. B. Hoof and J. J. Fox, elected Miss Hendrix. Mr. George claimed that they had always endorsed the teacher elect and proposed to see ine, also to postpone their meeting, advertise it and receive applications, feeling assured there tVion r>no *uViir?ll tvmilrl I have been the case had I known my application was to go before their honorable body. Yet Mr. Roof admitted to me afterward that he knew my application was for the whole term. Another strange feature is this they did not publish the result of their meeting until four days before the school opened as a public school: heretofore it has always been opened as a private school. Mr. Roof also refused to say if Miss Hen drix would accept the position until her name was announced as above stated. Mr. Roof also informed the County Superintendent of Education that a large majority of the patrons were opposed to me, yet he refused to name one when 1 asKea mm wno they were. Now, I do not question the law and right of this Honorable body to do as they have done, but the manner in which they did it. If the application of Miss Ilendrix had been left before the patrons and they would have elected her instead of myself and their body ihen endorsed her as they have always done, I am tco much of a lady to have said one word. I suppose they have the law on their side, but I claim that which is far preferable, truth, honesty and justice. T or.-. tiTillii>/r f/ir Uio its irons and JL (?U1 TMIUU^ the public to say who is right. I claim no .''ady has ever been more udjustly treated without a cause. M. A. Sawyer. Snatched From Death.

A holy life is made up of a number of small things: little words, not eloquent speeches or sermons? little deeds nor miracles of battle, nor one great heroic act of mighty martydom. make up the true Christian life. The little, constant sunbeam, not the lightning: the waters of Siloaro, that "go softly" in the meek mission of refreshment, not the "waters of the river, great and many," rushing down iu noisy torrents, are the true symbols of a holy life. The avoidance of little evils, little sins, little inconsistencies, little weaknesses, little follies, indiscretions and imprudence, little foibles, indulgences of the flesh: the avoidance of such little things as these go far to make up at least the negative beauty of a holy life. Remember that medicines of all kinds, perfumery, sweet soaps, combs brushes, etc., can be found at the I Bazaar. Our Trip in the Fork. During our trip through the F jrk last week in company with Treasure] on his tax collecting tour, it was oui privilege as well as pleasure to shnrt the generous hospitality and socia intercourse of many of the peoph of that section of the county.

She was tick only a short r while and none were prepared to 2 receive the very sad intelligence of . her demise. lJut whether or not we I expect death it is ever among us and none of us know bow soon we may be y called upon to face the grim monster, f When this comes however there are consolations sweet to the loved ones left behind that may be enjoyed. In j tho above ca".e the parents and friends are blessed with every as? stirance that Gussie was saved and that her spirit now hovers around ,r the throne of its giver, robed in garments of everlasting bliss and perfect happiness. On her dung bed she manifested unmistable signs and before the life tide had ebbed she I called her brother to her and told him ''I am going to die Glover, and I don't want you all to be worried ^ over it, I bad rather die young and ^ go to heaven than to live a long life j of worldly pleasure and then die and go to an endless torment. Oh, Low I wish I could see every young friend ^ of mine and warn them of the dangers ^ of this life. I shall die willingly if only it might be a warning to them." What a sacrifice she was willing to make! Her own life was not dearer ^ to her than tbo souls of her friends The friends of her childhood for whom she yearns as she passes away.

She was a consistent member there since about 1G years of age.
