The Herald. THOS. F. GRENEKER, W. H. WALLACE, EDrRS. XEWBERRY. X. C. WHDNESDAY, JAN. 26, 1881. A PAPER FOlt THE 'EOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam Ily Newspr, devoted to the material in terests o te people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. The Lynehing of Dave Xpear man and Sam Fair. The action of the community in visiting speedy punishment on the perpetrators of the foul crime of outrage and murder near Prosperi ty was nothing more nor less than the occasion demanded.. Lynch law is a terrible resort in a country where there are Courts and where Judges and juries will do their du ty, as in this State; and it is rare indeed that people are justified in taking the law into their own hands. But in a case like this lynch law, quick and certain, is the proper remedy, because ;t is the most ef fectual remedy. It cuts off from the guilty wretch all hopes from the law's delay, all chance and hope of escape, and brings him squarely face to face with the inevitable pen alty for such crime. That the law would have convicted and banged these negroeL there can be no doubt; but it would not have had such an effect as the lynching. A whole community rising up in their indignation and visiting upon the fiendish wretches death quick and terrible strikes terror to the hearts of others whose brutish passions might tempt them to commit simi lar crimes. Immigration. The State government has taken hold of the subject of immigration in a practical and earnest way. The last Legislature passed a law to ex empt the property of immigrants from taxation (except the school tax) for five years, and appropriated a sum of money to be used by the Agricultural Department in secu ring immigration. The railroads * of the State have made liberal pro. positions to aid in this work President McCaughrin, of the Co[ umbia & Greenville RaiL Road, * leads off with the promise of $1,500 * or $2,000 from his road, and other roads are equally liberal. Contri butions will be made by the roads by way of greatly reduced rates for immigrants coming into the. Stat,e, so as to make their transportation merely nominal.. Senators Elected Last Week. *Thomas F. Bayard, Democrat, Delaware ; ~0. D). Conger, Republi can, Michigan ; Eugene Hale, Re * publican, Maine ; H. L Dawes, Re - publican, Masachusetts ; Harrison, Republican, Indiana; Joseph R. Hawley, Republican, Connecticut ; McMillan, Republican, Minnesota. *The Secretary of the Interior re ports the population under the censvus of 1880 to be 50,152,559. South Carolina's census is 995,706. The celebration of the Cowpens Centennial has been definitely fixel for the 11th of May. Fox TEM HERALD. They Will Have Whiskey in Spite ora Dry Coneil. Well, let them have it, but in a way and from a source that will bene fit the many and not the few ; that will put profit in the people's pocket and not the bar-keeper's alone. Now, * how can this be done ? Easy enough. Let the Council refuse to grant any more licenses. When the licenses ex pire which have already been granted, let the Council establish a liqnor * house of its own and keep nothing -but the last liquors. Then let them deal it out by the bottle, half pint, pint and quart, and not allow it drank * in the store. A man can be employed by the year to take charge of the store, who does rot drink himself, and * who will carry out his instructions to the letter. But the druggists must * have license ? Not by any means. If the druggists must have spirits for preparing their prescriptions let them buy it from the Council store, like other people, by the bottle. If this * plan is adopted it will bring in a suf fioient revenue to pay the entire ex penses of the town, and pay for the Opera House, in a few years, without taxing the people one cent. Besides, it will do away, in a great measure, with drunkenness on the street. Men, for the most part, who drink at a bar until they became like beasts will buy -lace of business and drink it like Uen. These suggestions are thrown out to set the people to thinking. so that this, or some other plan, may be adop ted to make the sale of liquor a benefit to the whole people and not a curse to put money into the pockets of a few. WET AND DRY. Foa TH HExALD. Schools and Teachers. We were pleased to see a few weeks ,go from the County papers the zeal luanifested by Squeers ard Ichabod for the prosperity of "The Teachers' In stitute", thougb in some degree mask ed in irony. We, too, write Institute with em phasis in the catalogue of means for premoting the interests of education; but one or the other of them had a deal to say about teaching being made a stepping stone. We are glad that the numbers con taining their articles are not before us, and we have forgotten which one harped on the "stepping stone ;" for the fate of Smike would make us ner vous of the one and we might not rid us of the other as did Bone Bones with his pumpkin. Though we would foster the Institute we will not pass '-The Stepping Stone." Why is the school room of an old field school made a stepping stone to 'ther professions ? Does any interest suffer by it? Is it not, under the circumstances that we shall show, rather a benefit to all interests ? The great mass of the people never have had, and none need hope or wish to see them have, more than the ele ients of a scholastic education. In the first place it is impossible : they will not receive it. In the second place it can not be desired by the most benevolent fanatic. It would not be conducive to their prosperity and hap piness. Were it feasible and costless to carry the great mass of the people through several years in the higher branches now taught in the curri-u lums of our high schools and colleges, we in kindness to them would protest against it. Possibly the system of teaching may be altered so as to change us in oar opinion. We are not able to suggest that alteration. The great bulk of the people must from necessi ty and choice and for happiness labor at the plough and hoe, the forge and work bench. The tendency of a thor. ough scholastic training in our schools is to disqualify the recipient both by taste and habits for these pursuits. We are an enthusiast for popular edu cation to a degree. The elementary books and branches should be thoroughly understood by all, even to the most abject. Means adequate to this result should be pro vided and the St .te should foot the bill. But don't try to make water run up hill. The frog could not swell up to the size of the ox. Do not try to change the tastes when those t.aste3 are natural, healthy and lead to hap piness. After the mnrses have re ceived theselemnents of scholarship, if you can not give them science and art in the vocation their tastes and neces sities lead to; if you.can not cultivate them to industry and patience, dili gence and perseverance, stop right there. It matters only little to the mechanic or husbandman whether he can demonstrate Euclid or conjagate the Greek verb. We kno w there are those who cavil at an education made means to a special end. They want it as expansive as the universe. That is well and true, but not for the mass They have neither such leisure, ability nor taste. In giving t*he elements spe cial genius and talent will manifest. These rarer stones will find their way to the lapidaries in our colleges and thus those lofty sciences which have been evolved and fostered by the umost illus trious lives, and which through the most intricata labyrinths of thought have given simple rules to mankind, will be preserved and improved. Is any great degree of talent neces sary to teach these elementary branch es, viz: Orthography, reading, wri ting, and the simplest com bination of numbers ? Are they not principally taught by rote or memory ? Are there sufficient difficulties to surmount, or do they offer sufficient honors and emoluments to command professionally the best talents fo: more than a few years ? We mean the old field school teacher ; what is the fate of him who selects this~ as a profession ? Partly from its simpleness and partly from the poverty and sparseness of our pop. ulation the common pedagogue barely gets a gcod living for himself and family. There may be, too, some want of appreciation in it, but we will say nothing of that as men do not love to be told of their faul*.s. After a few years of his zenith the teacher be comes old-fashioned, inefficient, obso lete. He is eliminated from the school room, disqualified for every thing lse. In all probability the lawyer and doctor who started life with him. are fat and complaisant over their bank accounts ; the mechanic boss of 'iamwer; the farier with infinite satisfaction directing the culture of the improved fields which he u.,ed to furrow. The profes-ional teacher i6 after a time left dependent and poor. Natura'ly inefficient from the iuroads of time :rid subject to the caprice of the people. "Live -ld horse; you'll I I s." Is it strange ti t : do not select this as a life professiu we mean men of much talent and vim ? Many young men of talent, some from choice, some from necessity, eh-oe to linger in an old field school room for a year or two. They are competent. Fresh from school and full of the latest ideas-young and ardent. They polish and beautify the stone on which they have stepped. Thus education gets the benefit often of the firat talent-a talent she could not otherwise obtain. We have taught we have observed, we are teaching. KIKERO. The Battle Fought and Won. The Laurensville Herald on the Subject. The result of the municipal elee tion on last T1esday marked an im portant epoch in the history vf our town Never was there a greater in terest manifested in any previous elee tion. Many of the friends of pro hibition were early at the polls anc worked with coum:eudable zeal. while sonme of those on the other side uiai ifested an euthusiasu and desperatiot worthy a better cause. The futih alnd silly effort of casting double bal lots was resorred to by the "wets." But it -was of u0 avail. The colored voters, upon whom they had litlitEU relied. renouneed the ru;i-seller's bad cause and voted on t1be side of peace law and order, for which they deserve great credit , and while all the better class of the colored voters descrvu praise for the iudepeudeut and mai wanner in which they cast their suf frage, we deem it but just to partieu larize in favor of George Giles, 1Rober Satterwhite and Henry Bailey, whin manifested a zeal and activity at onec cowuendable and praiseworthy. Thc victory was couiplete, and, we fidhy hope, permanent. In order to give our readers sone idea of the enormous amount of li quor sold iu this town during th past license year, we append the fol lowing facts and fiuans : One bar room proprietor sold fouriceit thv sand dollars worth of liquor duriul said time, up to the 10th iist., au< realized a net prolit of six thousani fire ittndred doliars from the sale: thereof ! This is the business of oi:l1 one bar-room. There are xcven iv the place. Estimating the other sis at only half said amount, which i: low, will give a total of fifty si thousand dollars worth of the use less, impoverishing, ruinous, death cau.sing stuff that has been bough and drunk in our town during the short period of less than one year Enormous, astounding, not to say dis graceful. This, in a comnmuntity 0 churches, of boasted refinement, of in telligence, of religious and literarj culture ! Is it not appalling ? An< what . bas the poor slave of the ioe briate's cup to show for this imhprov ident, wreekless outlay ? Nothing literally nothing save poverty, rags shame and disgrace, with inipairec constitutions, mental and physical dis ability. On the other hand comnpart this picture with that of the ru1n seller, and behold the contrast. W hih the former has suffered in every way -lost health and property, or his seant, hard earnings, and in moanj cases. even self.respet-the latter ha: received a handsome income, and grown coimparatively rich by thE reckless extravagance and ruin of hi: customer. The books at the dep.ot show thal twco Ihundred barrels of ichisky and one hundred1 and forig four casks ol wine and cases of beer have beer shipped to this pilace, by rail, during the past year. In addition to this not less thtan one hu'ndred lbarrelb have been brought here fronm Green ville and other places. But we wil .take only the two hundred barrels o: whisky (without t.stimating the winE and beer) shipped here by rail, which, averaging forty gallons to the barrel aggregate cight thousand gallons This amount sold by the drink, and in small quantities, would of itseli amount to the snug little sumi of over thirty thousand dollars ! T he thret hundred barrels of whisky, which have been gulped down the throats oh the.liquor-killers, if placed end agaiBsi end, would reaeh from the depot tc the public square--a distance of more thtan 300 yards ; or by taking th< staves of these 300 barrels would build a fence nearly a mile in length. But thanks to the determined will of the voters of our town we have rid ourselves of the blighting iucubu of the rum shop for at least one year whichi has suggested these "dry" thoughts: We think Lanrens is fre We think this closing of the sa boos is the dawn of a new era of prosperity for our town and County. We think the gentlemen elected will faithfully see that Laurens ih kept thoroughly, perfectly, totally, and entirely dry. We think our country friends can now safely come to town without dread of their lives or danger of a row. We think our ladies can walk the streets without being greeted with a chorus of oaths and drunken epithets. We think our colored people are now more secure in the -enjoyment of all their rights than ever before. We think the hearts of nmany citi. zens throughout our County beat with a warmer and more hopeful throb. We think the prayers of many a devoted wife, mother and sister have now been answered.

[COMMUN.-CATED.] of An Urgent Appeal to Every Lover of Order in the State. I J The recent action of our LetgisIa ture on the subject of ardent spirits I calls for the gratitude of every good (fi citizen ; for, though the law enacted may not be as stringent as many de- re sired, it is of inestimable value as an H1os evidence of the tendency of the en ,.S !ightened public sentiment of our Common wealth This enactment con spires with other facts to render the present the most auspicious time to 4 step still further forward in tihe march - toward reform and sobriety in all ourB borders It is conceded that there is a pow erful struggle now going on in the public mind, and it is believed that 3 our law-makers will do much grea.ter Cou things for us next winter, if we show "il theta that we will uphold them in b their efforts to rid the country of the Bri curse of rum.
