In the IIEnALD of May 2d, ap peared a rather caustic notice of Mr. Smith, the singing master. That paragraph called forth two let. ters in vindication of Mr. Smith, one from the gentleman himself and the other from one of his pu pils in Newberry. both of which were just. timely. and inl good taste. In the Obse'rr of la -'th, "S, whose big heart was grieved at the III:mL's injustice and inhospital ity, uttered a -production" in which lhe used this language "An inoffensive little squib of 'S.'s' in regard to Prof. M. C. Smith, who was so recently with us. seems to have stirred and raked the bottom of Lake Camarina. in exciting the ire of a -steamed' con temporary against the unoffending lProfessor. The result has bcen two or three sharp attacks upon lProf. Smith and the Methodist choir. "Althouyh our worthy contempo rary of the IIEI-Am evidently mis construed us, we trust no one else will do so. --\ir. Smith's name has appeared in -S's.' columns on several (liTe rent occasions, andt although some who did not know us might have im agined from our slalsided manner of complimenting him and our demi-seli-idiotic notices of his en tertaiments that we were ridiculing the gentleman's character and abil ity, such was not the case." In the IIEIALD of the following week "S." was noticed in this para graplh, which was fully warranted by his own utterances, and which contains nothing that one rentle man might not freely say in speak ing of another: - "', of the Obs,rc,'r, says that the several notices of Mr. Smith, the singing master, which app-ared in his columns were not intended to cast ridicule upon that gentle man, as was too generally sup posed, but were really and truly, genuine, unrecognizable, 'slab-sided' compliments." In reply, ""S" avers that he -'said nothing of the sort,' but accuses "the gentleman of the IiEi..i)" of being a dllard, and of having mis interpreted him. The IIEnALD would have paid no attention to "S's" defense of' Mr. Smith. but for these two reasons: 1. "S.'' assumed that the II-L.) was trying to imitate him, in its strictures on Mr. Smith. 2. And, while he knew that his notices of Mr. Smith had been con strued as intended to ridicule that gentleman, he resorted to the sub terfuge of saying that this was a misconstriction and that the Herald was respons ble for it. What right had '-S." to assume that his "squib" called forth from the HEmmALD an attack upon the M1ethodist choir, or Mr. Smith ? Trhere is not a single word in the H EI.\LD) which justifies this assump tion. imitation admits inferiority; and, while we hope that we are sufficiently modest in the estimate we place upo:n ourselves, we are not willing to be regarded as imni tators of "S." or any other insolent p)retenlder. What right had "S." to assume that the "lIlEn' oi had evidently mis construed" him ? There was not a syllable in the IIERD ~I which in dicated that 'S's.' manner of' treat ing Sir. Smith had been con strued in any way whatever; and if -'S."' has had nothing to do with the Methodist choir. how did his "squib" cause the lii-:n.Lu> to imiake an -attack uplon choir' ? If "-S.'' had im: isa frank attack uplonl tl hlIIn.ru - remarks about 31r. Smith. or ha~ I muade a simple, straight-forward e xplanation of his own p)ositionl with reference to that gentleman, we should have passed his article without a word. And if hle had assaulted us for the puirpose' of displayinig the remarkable brillian cy of bis intellectual weapons, andl had done so) in a mnanly way we should not l.ave protested. We are not dlisposed to criticise any one who wishes to couch a free lance against the ll EnA.1). po vided that he do so honestlyv and openly. While "."5' was ostmnsibly (de fending Mr. Snmithi. lie was really indulging in covert flingzs at the IlEnA .1). We despise dodging and skulking and double-dealing. When the IIEn.:Amm has offended any- one without just cause, it has the good sense to see its error and thme good taste to make amends for it-as it has (lone in thme case of Mr. Smith. It is not our custom to say what we please about persons and places. until we are broughit to account, and1 then skulk from jus-t resp)onsibility by saying that our remarks were only "witticisms.'' The IIEn~.m said nothing aboumt the manner in which "'S's." notices~ had been con strucd. but he found out in some way that they hand been construed as ridicule. TIhe HIn.w said nothing about "5'.;." Williamston notes, but thev were construed in an unfavor.thle light both here and at Williamston. In each case lie is rescued by a wonderful in genuity which. in thme hmour of need, p)ronounces his oliensive remarks -'witticisms, onlyv witticisms."' When we speak of a man it requires no labored explanation to inform himi whether we intended a complimnent or a "witticism.'' We agree with "S." that lhe is not expected to furnish sufficient brain to enable his readers to see through his '-witticisms" or to ap p)reciate his 'prodiuctins."' Every hody knows that if "S." were re Iquired to do this, lie would be comn peCl!ed to go oumt of the nlewspaper business withouit dlelav. Thme lIu.tio is not disposed to be unkind to any body. This shave is a omparative stranger in Newberry. and we do not wish to injure him-if he had gone on set ting his type and writing his three columns a week for the Obserrer, without dipping his pen offensively into other people's business, we should have left him to himself and others. If he aspires to the high position of censor and curator of public morals in Newberry, we dlo not object. unless his private character gives the lie to his public professions. We wer. here when he canie, and we expect to be here when he has gone. We suspect that he will not favor us with his presence many years-he is rapidly, very rapidly, outgrowing the town of Newberry, and his own develop ment must force him to leave. We regret this, for he is the recognized champion of moral ideas in our hwn. Let it not be said when he is gone. th:t he was insolent with. out authority and impertinent with out ability. One word in conclusion. If -S." means that the HIEIRALD has said or done anything in this matter that shows it to be a dullard, or if he ex pects the public to believe that we are dullards because lie says so, lie is either a fool or a knave, or both. As he is expert in the choice of epithets, lie may appropriate the one that suits hiin best. "S." and the public need not he told that this is not intend(led as a "witticism."

One word for the school and one for the educational petition, and we will see yon again. Thle school has closed its fifth year, and in its life it has not been more successful than it has been this year. Theteachiers have made it their pride and pleasure. The manner in which the schol ars acquitted themselves last week is proof enough. The exercises were well attended not only by the town people, but also by the people frnim the country They send their chilren here and then come to see the improvement they have made. The Culisthenics exhibition was a grand success. Th le house would not hold the people. The girls showed by their maneuvers that they are well drilled. On Tlhurs (lay night we again had a full house, about t300 people being pres ent. The school is doing a grand work It has been stated that only two citizens of Prosperity signed the petition sent to our School Comn missioner. The-se two were of course citizens of our town; but their names being to the petition does not represent the whole corn miunity. They represcnt only two individual men. If this subject were thoroughly canvassed, andl it were stated to the p)eople that this would be a national educational fund, but to be~ under State con trol, all would be willing to say give it to us. By all, I mean the mojority of influential men. The thinking men of the country would be willing to vote or sign. either one. This is a subj -et of great im portanee and before action is taken great. forethought should be exerH cised. The poor and the working class should be asked whether it would benefit them. They as a class help to support this govern ment. Give ns a National Educa tional Fund under State control. AYTcr Jn. POST OFFICE, NEWSEPRY, C. H., S.

Rain, rain, yes for an entire week, and now cold, reminding us of winter. We are sitting by the fire, to be comfortable, how singu lar to eat ripe peaches, sitting by the fire. Three fourths of the grain now remains in the fields in this Septem. ber-gale-like weather, in a badly damaged condition and should this cloudy weather continue we fear much of it will be lost. Gardens every where are just royal, abounding in cabbage, beans, beets, cucumbers, squashes, onions, &c., &c. One of our Willies thinks of having roasting ears and okra for linner in a few days, from his gar :len, and tells us he has almost ripe tomatoes, how nice to blend these three vegetables wtii some choice beef and call it soup. We notice blight or dead leaves >n the apple trees, will some far mer tell us the cause and cure ? We have never seen so many in ;ects that annoy us, as at present, f we go on the train a little black wingless, long slender, bug, covers ur face, neck and ears, if on the rarn, possibly half dozen varieties innoy us. Can not Mr. Ramage tell is why so many unknown insects ppear ? The crops, corn and cotton, are ist excellent, as promising as heart ould wish for, we do hope kind Providence will continue to bless, is with abundance of rain, that our, iands may yield an abundant in .rease. The candidate fever has struck our ;own and grasped one of our young men into its fold, he is a candidate ror the Legislature, and doubtless iis card will appear in the HERALD. We have heard of a man who 3ried, because he was not permit ;ed to embrace Y. J. Pope, Esq., at ;he County Convention. Cheer up iriend, cheer up, for the same sex were not made to embrace each ther, yet there are exceptions we elieve to all rules. Since our man with his 3 acres n fruit has become a candidate ,ve are told he no longer ships eaches or offers them for sale, )ut is glad to supp!y his neighbors ind all mankind. The Primary sys em certainly causes man to recog ,ize his fellow man. Messrs. W. II. Eddy and J. Win. Folk propose soon to begin an ex ensive poultry business, and they !xpect to hatch some 1000 chickens !very 21 days, as they hope to have I or more incubators, in a short ime regularly at work. N. C. Why is it that in the town and ountry of Newberry, there is not greater love for books, good books we mean. Surely it is not because of any lack of books, or hat the cost is too great. No such hiing. It is because the people iave not been educated up to this point. They do not see the ne 3essity of reading and acquiring the nformation which books afford, more the pity. A book seller prop er would starve if he depended ex rlusively on his sale of books. Even so too, is it with newspapers. In Newberry, in fact in the South, the people are not a reading people and not one in twenty who can read, takes a newspaper, and the conse rjuence is that they are in the dark as respects the common, every-day occurences which engross the com munity and the world. Not so is it at the North, for there almost every man woman and child reads one or more,some as many as a dozen news papers. By this means they keep up) with the politics of the country and ev-ery other top)ic floating around. Take New York for instance-cast your eye over a street car, it is full of people, cosmopolites and citi zens. arnd every one of them has his face closely buised in a l)pper reading for bare life. May be one of the reasons why it is not the case in Newberry is that we have no street cars. Let our city fathers run a line of horse cars from the depot to the Fair grounds and let us see if the papers will be more appreciated. This is one of the things we should like to see.
