f but instead of this -there had been a constant I decline. Having suffered loss from holding, 8 and fearing greater loss from adhering to this L B course, they decided upon selling. Moreover^ majority of the sellers, if not all, were H&mR&Hronst rained by another reason, that of necesBa?|jy Sity. The close of the >ear was approaching, Compelling a settlement with employes. The WffNm latter desire payment for their services before |BBar Christmas, so that they can have some money to spend during the holidays. There are some fortunate individuals in our county who are able to hold their cotton until Spring, if such is their desire, and they will doubtless do so, if the present low price continues. These happy i>ersons are very few; they can almost be counted on one's fingers. The great majority of our people have sold, or must sell very soon, to meet their present engagements. A real money famine prevails here at present. This indispensable article is almost unobtainable. The stringency certainly was never so great at this season of the year. While cotton was ruling at 9 cents, or above it, trade was quite good, and money circulated tolerable freely. But since the decline in the price of the fleecy staple, trade has almost come to an untimely end, and money has either taken wings and flown elsewhere, or is closely locked up in the safes and pockets of some i?eople at home. Bills for supplio?<rid other things absorb the lion's share of the cotton that is now selling. The low price 01 conon ims occasioned low spirits among the farmers, and they declare their intention of planting sparingly next year. They may not continue in f? this frame of mind. When planting time arrives, and with a probable change for the bet1 ter in the price, they may see "millionsiri it," s and determine upon putting in big crops of cotton as usual. Stone crossings have recently lieen made at several places across Main street. This will detract somewhat froin' the' disagreeableness of walking in town, when mud abounds, as it L frequently does to a great extent. ' Our honr orable Mayor and Aldermen liave the thanks of the community for the blessing of stone crossings. IPJpVr W. A. Sanders, Esq., was admitted to practice, last week, in the Supreme Court of the State. May he be successful in securing and winning cases in this higher Court. The land, containing about six hundred acres and located within a short distance of town, with the buildings thereon, belonging to the estate of Biggers Mobley, deceased, was recently bought by Mr. Amzi Triplett for the sum of $4,500. The residence, which was built a short time befoie the late war, is saitf to have cost $10,000, and the outbnUdingsriiW eluding barns and stables, are said to have I cost $5,000. Yet this valuable property has kcen ,s?ld f<>r the small sum stated. No better evidence is needed of the tremendous depre-. ciation of projierty in this county. Mr. Daniel Pardue, who lived within a few r- miles of town, departed this life very suddenly orrFriday. An inquest was held by Trial I Justice McDonald. The jury found that his death. was produced by natural causes. Mr.^J. B. McFadden and Mr. W. A.

TO THE PEOPLE OP YORK COUNTY. |T gives me pleasure that I am able to anI_ nounce that, notwithstanding the many disouraging circumstances, a good degree of sucess attended the Free School system during the ast two vears. One hundred and thirty free chools were kept in operation for a period, on in average, of five and one-half months, during he year 1878. The salary promised teachers anged from ten to twenty dollars per month. Svery cent promised has been paid. On this core, there can be no grumbling. On the second Monday of January, 1879, the ''ree Schools will be opened again. Permit me o say to the people of the county, that several bings must be done in order that the Free School ystem may be a complete success. 1st." The number of schools in every Bchool iistrict in the county must be reduced. In no ther way can the schools be kept open for a loner time during each year. To accomplish this ecessity, the patrons of the Free Schools must ike a sensible view of things and agree to locate drool houses at such places as will meet the mergencies of the case. 2d. The school houses of the county, generally, re very uncomfortable. In many cases new ouses should be built, and all the old ones bnuld be thoroughly repaired before again used, 'his must be done at the expense of the patrons f each school. The public funds will not, for le present, more than meet the other expenses f the system. 3rd. In every case, the patrons of the several ;hools will be allowed to select their own teachrs, provided the teachers selected can meet the xjuirements of the law; and provided further, lat it does not appear to the school officers that lachers are selected through unrighteous nominations. In every case, the teacnere will be objected to a rigid examination, and the Board f Examiners will reserve the right of deciding ith regard to the moral fitness of the teachers fcamined. The school fund of York county is a fraction rer twelve thousand dollars. It is my official uty to manage this fund so that it shall accomlish the greatest amount. of good. I expect to 3 held accountable by the people of the county >r the manner in wbioh this fund is expended. Section 5 of the school law, makes it the duty : the State Board of Examiners "to prescribe id enforce the use of a uniform series of text )oks. This duty has been performed, and the xiks selected and required to be used for the art fitra vnara arn rtrwtr \r\ mrr in Vnrlr_ J A V 11 TV jv,uin, Ol V UW TV 1U IliJ VlUvV 1U A VI Aille. For three months, beginning the 1st of muary, 1879, these books will be sold at a rejced price; or they will be exchanged for old )oks of a similar kind and grade, on the most asonable terms. After the expiration of three onths, the books will be sold at the usual retail ice, which is fixed by the publishers.
