DR. GRIER'S OPINION.
On the 10th of May the Nows
1;2(7 Cvioif,r sent a circular letter to
a number of prominent citizens of
Abbeville County for the purpose
t* ascertainig whAher the Press
e!II BAwr,,? was correct in saying
that a majority of the people of that
counNt are opposed to common
school education at the public ex
pense. Seventeen men answered
the letter. Of that number, three
are opposed to common school
education at the public expense;
four are in favor of the repeal of
t lie two mill school tax; seven are
opposed to national aid to educa
tion; and seven are opposed to tle
Ulair bill.
Dr. W. M. Grier. President cf
Erskine College. says: "As mat
ters are with us, I favor common
schlo, education at public expense.
I would regard the repeal of the
two mili s,- hool tax as a long step
hackwards. The higliest consile
rtations of* public interest and of
Christian duty would condemn such
a movement.
I am in favor of National aid to ed
ucation if the distribution of the fund
is left wholly in the hands of the
State authorities and can therefore
be made without a complication of
State and Federal relations."
The Blair bill provides that the
MOney, .1ppropriated shall be di.-,
tributed by the State authorities,
and ;n our opinion the South would
be foolish not to accept it.
Dr. Grier is right. Ilis opinion
is worth something, and we are
glad lie has spoken.
Th~e national powwow of the
great Republican party which has
bcen savingr this country for twenty
years, will be held in Chicago next
Tuesday, for the purpose of
making a President. Vast and ex
pensive preparations have been
male for the accommodation of' the
elect, and Chiicago will present anl
animated scene on the :3rd. It ap.
pears now that one place on the
ticket wil lbe elven to Robt. Lin
coln, ''the son of his father.'' but far
thier than that it is not safe to enter
the field of' prophecy. We do ven
ture to say., however, that nless
the lRecording Angel is a remark
ably' expert accounitant he will have
a lively time in tryving to take note
of the jobbery, trickery, venality
and r'ascality' of the powwow mien.

It is h eoming a serious question
whether Col. Aiken hams sufjicient
:abilit y and v'ersatility to attend to
his dutties in the United States
(Conrescs and, at the samre time,
keep a firm h and onl the newspa.
piaper' pres~s of' South Carolina. Two
weeks ago he devoted a bit of his
tune to the showing of our "-misrep'
resentations." The la t issue of the
Anderson lI! 'l'/t 10' contains a
letter' front him in answer to some
st:atements pubilished by the editor.
Maj. Murray, on thle subject of' Col.
Aiken's new party. Maj. Murra'
replies at length. iIe pronounces
our (Congressmian i mprudent, and
s:ays t':at his views are destructive
of party orgranization. and. there*

)ur nieighibora, the O'meeer thjinks
the subject o1 pub8lic education has
been made so) prominent and has
been rung in theC ears of the peop)le
so continually' that they have be
conme nauseated with it. and1 thlat
this is inring the cause of public
educatnin. If' it h e true that the
friends of' the public schools are' in
danger of breaking them down by
ca~rnecstly' and conitinuailly' wceca

be supIposed that the Obs'r""r wvill
stre'ngthen and build up the South
CarAlia U.niversity, to which it is
unalterably opposed, by earnestly
and continually coo1m/ it ? If
our friend's theory b)e correct, it
ought to work both wax's.

New buildings are going up and
"all are doing all that in them lies"
to make our town prosperous,
healthy and happy. All are invited
to come and make one in our midst.

farmeis are beginning to harvest
their grain. They think the yield
will be a full crop. On a ride this

wheat that has ever been grown in
this section. Cotton is looking
fine. Corn is not doing so well,
the heart worm has been killing a
great deal of it.

was somewhat needed.
Th'le candidates. at least some of
them, are beginning to go around,
conumneing so soon it surely will
be a good long round before elc-.

TIhc farmers are beginning to cut
their ;'heat this week. which all
rep)ort is very fine, the oat crop not
so good. now and then you will see
a field of fine oats. A good wheat
and oat crop adds greatly to the
interest of thle farmer.
We notie with pleasure a good
miany of our citizens white-wasb

and some are using the paint brush.
We think this is a move in the right
direction. and we hope it will be
carried oin until every house in our
town will put on a bran new aip

is p.ainted, it makes the town ap

M. Bord, familiarly known as Uncle
Mlark ~was present and( preached
being assistedl by Mr. Brown in the
commuinion1 services. T[he Metho
dist brethren will have a neat little
Church when they' get it finished,
which will be some time this summer.
Tiwo lady members of the C hurch
went around a few weeks ago solic

met with considerable success.
With a little aid elsewhere they
have been able to purchase the bell.
Iwhich was put in position last
week. and rang last Sunday morn

fir-st time. We hope this little flock
of Methodists will increase from
time to time. until it will be a large
and flourishing congregation.
We had the pleasure of a few
imomnents visit last week from Mrs.
Thomas F. Greneker, while she and
Mr. (reneker was spending a day
and( niiht in our town with friend1s
and relatives. It is a great pleas.
te for old acqtuaintances to meet
andl talk over the long p)ast. .Just
exactly thirty years ago Mrs. Gren
'ker anud the writer went to school
at Beth Eden, the teacher was Mr.
IIenry Wilson who was beloved
by all the scholars. But oh'. what
a change has taken place since
then. little children then have be
come grown men and women, in
fact. are getting a little aged.
Many of the -pupils are scattered
ov-er the county. some gzone to (is
tant States, while others and a good
lv number too have been called from
time into eternity. IThe neighibor-~
hood has undergone great change
also. very few of the citizens
that owned land in that vicinityvthirty
years ago are there now. The old ones
have either moved away or died
out, and new ones have taken their
p llaces. There are a few of the old
landmarks yet in the persons of Mr.
Georgze Sligh. C'ol. .John S. Rien
wick, Mr.Mr .Spence. Mr.I
II. W. Rlikard has only changed his
base a little, he is still near by. It
has n'.t been my pleasure to visit;
the Beth Eden neighborhood for
several years. but as long as I live
and whemrvr T shnll dwell. I shmal I
always cherish with pleasure the
years I spent in that vi'einity. Call
again Mr. Greneker. when you come
down. and remain longer and rest
assured you will receive a hearty
welcome at our shian:-.
The closing exercises of the Lo
cust Grove School located about
six miles below Prosperity and
taught by Mr. John M. Sease. a re
cent graduate ot Newberry College.
took place on Saturday the 17th
inst. The day was pleasant and
ample preparations had been made
for the comfort and entertainment
of the large and appreciative audi
ance. The programme was com
irehensive and varied, consisting
chiefly of exereises in declamation.
dialogues anld essays. interspersed
with excellent music. furnished
by the beautiful and accomplished
Miss Carrie Sease. an' someiq of the
larger pupils of the school.
The arrangement of the whole
programme manifested the skill
and good taste of the teacher; and
the excellent manner in which each
part was performed must have been
highly gratifying to parents and
friends.
In the afternoon. after having
enjoyed the hospitality of the good
--inly Woods' people which was
so kindly shown inl the beautiful
table spread under some locust
ttees near by, and to which all
were most cordially invited, the
audiance was favored with some
addresses by the prominent gen
tlemnen who were present. Prof.
G. G. Sale. who was the Speak
er of the occasion, made a very
sensible address, which lie de
livered in his accustomed pleasant
style. After him. G. S. Mower,
Esq., lion. J. C. Wilson, Prof. J. C.
Cerk, Rev. .. K. Efird, Dr. Wyche.
and Rev. J. A. Sligh were respect
fully called upon and responded in
speeches averaging about fifteen
minutes each, in which they set
forth the importance of e(d uM1CLtion.

vi(ces of _iood moral teachers, and
to send th- ir children regularly to

What We Sce, ani What We Would
Like To See.
"ny the Ol One."
The same difficulty presents it
self this week as on the last, there is
"nothing new under the Siu." no
startling event has occurred to af
ford a subject for writing, but as
we have entered the race we will
not back out; and will stand to the
rack fodder or no fodder. A word
or two as to the Masons we have
just thought will help to fill up this
first paragraph. Two weeks ago. a
poor widowed woman worked her
way to Newberry. She caine from
the Land of Flowers. but there was
nothing flowery about her. for she
looked what she was, poor an( nee
dy. She inquired for some good meth
odist lady, found one, was taken in,
and given a "bite and a sup." This
was Saturday; she rested until
Alonday, eating the Methodist lady's
food. and lodging at the Newberrv
Hotel. 31onday she called on a
few Masons, and gave evidence that
she was the widow of a Master Ma
son. At once this noble band went
to work an( gave her a purse of
monev suflicient to take her home.
We like chai ity."it covereth a multi
tude (if sins," and who knows but
that some of these masons have
sinned. We will not say that they
have, but as the Bible says "all
men have sinned." it is but natural
to suppose that they have. Masons
are proverbial for charitable acts
to those who have claims u,on them.
11ave you ever thought how good
it is to be courteous. It is like the
-oil which ran (own Aaron's beard.
It is a good thing. We recollect
reading an anecdote of two far
miers, who lived near neighbors.
We will call them Smith and Jones.
Well Smith's family, from the hired
girl up. were remarkable for their
pleasant manners; their kinl cour
tesy to eaeh other was the talk of the
country; every one had something
to say about Smith and his family.
-Jones' folks on the other hand were
totally unlike them. Each seemed
to have been raised on apple vine
gar. Nothing pleasant ever occur
red at Jones'. It was all acErbity,
continual bickering, harsh. unkind
words, and his business ever went
wrong. Jones could not understand
this, could not see where the great
dilf.rence existed. One day lie
asked his neighbor Smith to tell
him what the secret was, if any.
The other replied that it was ac
complished by the use of greas2.
i-G rease," neighbor Jones. said lie,
-is what does it." "Please explain,"
,Jones. --Well" said Smith. "I
grease my fImily every morning. by
kind words, cheerful smiles. and
praise, instead of fault finding. This
is the secret. -Every one begins the
day's work cheerfully, and the work
is dlone with willing a!ae-rity. This
is it, the wife, the children. the ser
vanits are all the better for kinid
words. or for a little grease. Like
machin ery. the family needs greas.
ing. Try it, neighb,or .Jones, and
see how heautifully it will work.
Jones did try it. and it is needless
to say, that from that day a change
for the better camne over the spirit
of his dream. kiind words are "like
applles of gioldl in pictures of silver.'
Why is it that kite living. muar
bles. tops and other yo)uhul pas
times have each their p)articullar
season? We have thought too, that
other things seem to be popu'ar at
certain seasons. At one time the
paesare rite with accounts of
fearf ul disasters at sea. one hiorrible
account is followed by another, and
how freqjuent is this occurrence; at
another time fires engross the mind:
perhaps there is a change, and then
the ind is staggered by the fre
quent murders which are commit
ted. At another time the dark un~
mentionable crime, of which we
have hand such large experience,
runs its day and time. A ny one of
these is quiickly followed by another
and another of' like chiaracter. till
thme heart revolts and sickens at the
recital. Pcrhaps the newspapers
may be to blamne, for let one ac
counut be' publishied. and it is taken
up, and set in motion, and every
)1pape iin the land strives to out do
the other in its accounts of similar
ocurrenices, and( the one seed
springs iup into foul flowering.
As the green app)le season ap
proachues it m!ay not be amiss t. uit
ter a warning to the small boy and
girl contem plating ain indulgence
in this deceptive luxury. Colies
lurk in green apples as well as
worms. therefore thiev' should be

On every hand one hears of the |
flattering prospect of the wheat and
oat crops. They are simply in that
condition known as booming and a
should no accident befall them, S
soon. very soon the hopes of every
one interested will be grlorioislv,
hopefully realized. Creat is now
the promise. and Cod grant that
neither higrh winds nor beating
rains may lay these crops low. Our n
farmers are reasonably now counting a
the results, they sorely need all the
help which these two crops promise
to tide them through till cotton I
comes in and we sincerely hope f(
that their anticipations may not be N
disappointed.

ambition for offices. Surely, surely ti
not. Perhaps they think that there c
is yet time suflicient, and that the y

a chance as the first. We will not c
be surprised. Enter the race quiet- s
