Local News. ^ KPN ESP AY, .11" J.Y 10, 1H02. The ."Heeling of the School Trustees. The meeting held in the Court House Monday of last week by tho Trustees of the Comity schools, at which rcso-j lutions were adopted and n committee appointed to memorialize the Legisla ture and ask for the enactment of a law which will give to the public schools throughout the State the fer tilizer tax now used in support of Cleinson College, and to apply to the public schools in f ach County in the State the profite arising from the County dispensaries, which is now paid into the County treasuries for County purposes, calls for some com ment, which it is hoped will throw light upon the. entire subject. There can bo no question a.s to the necessity, ami the positive duty of the Legislature to do much mon- than has been done for the educational advan tages ot the children of the State. In Anderson County, lor example, there are 12,000chilldreii enrolled in the public schools, and only l?&j,O00 per year pro vided lor their education?$2.00 per pupil. The schools cannot lie kept open with so small an amount longer than live months of the year, and the results obtained in advancing the pu pils are not and cannot be expected to be satisfactory. That something should be done to better this condition of our public school system is of vital importance to every family in the State, and this explains, in a measure, at least, the action of our County Trustees in the meeting above referred to. But would it be wise to disturb the tax privilege fund now used in support of Cleinson College, even if it eon Id be taken from that College and diverted to the public schools, which is very doubtful? Prior to the establishing of Cleinson College the inspection and analyzing of fertilizers was performed by the old S .ite Hoard of Agriculture, together v. ,u other duties, ami it took the v?.I./le of tho MX on fertilizers to pay tho salaries of tho Hoard. In 1800 Cleinson College offered to assume the dutieBof this Hoard if the fertilizer tax should hegiven to the College, and that they would undertake to save enough surplus from this fund to sup port tho College without calling on the State for any other aid. This was made a plank in tho reform movement, weut before the people and received their endorsement and the tax was turned over to the College. This fund has had much to do with the establishment of every branch of the Colloge work?agriculture, me chanical, including electrical, textile, chemical for performing State work, indeed all. All of the duties of the Hoard of Agriculture have been per formed by the faculty of the College inspecting fertilizers, inspecting cattle and visiting all parts ot the State where there are epidemics among cat tle and eradicating the disease; in specting fruit rees shipped into the State and visiting diseased orchards, exterminating the ii.sects which pro duce the disease; analysing ores, min erals, water and soils; holding insti tutes all over the Stute for Ihe benefit of the farmers, and many other duties which have been imposed upon them by logislat'?n from time to time up to the present. No additional sum has ever been appropriated for this o. any other work of the College. The fer tilizer tax fund is all the support Clem sou College gets from the State, in consideration of which the College performs the work us partly en tune rated above. To take this fund from the College would necessitate the creation of au other Hoard of Agriculture, or similar body, to perform this work, and to provide for palaries and expenses. Clemson cou.d not perform this work free of chnrg?, and the common echools could not perform it at all. It may be thought a good iden, in order to meet the conditions which so far have defeated direct appropriations to the public schools, to apply the fer tilizer tax to the public schools, and make a direct appropriation to Clemson; but there nppenrs to be a very consid erable barier in the way of this plan na follows : Several years ago manufacturers of fertilizers in North Carolina brought suit, in the Federal Courts against this State to teat the. right of the State to levy a tax on fertilizers, basing their action on provisions of the Inter-State Commerce laws. The Supreme Court of the United States, to which the case went finally, decided that euch a tax for the purpose of raising revenue only eould not he levied, but that the State could levy this tax to meet the expense Of piotecting the farmer from fraud in tho purchase of fertilizers; that a defi nite amount for such an expense need not be stated, and that any surplus re maining could bo expended by the State; but that no part of this tax could go into the State Treasury and be treated or used .ui State funds. Froln this it is clear that the fertili zer tax must be used for services per formed, nnd those services must be the inspection and analysis of fertilizers for the protection of farmers against fraud. The common schools cannot perform this work, and, under this de cision, cannot receive any part of this tax. Jt inuBt either remain with Clem sou or go to some other body to be created by legislation to perforuijthis ork. As to tho profits from the County dispensary, which are tnrned over to the county treasurers for County pur poses, and which in Anderson County aiao?-i'^ to about $5,000 per annum, it 5a clei -ly within the province of the Legislature to apply this fundito any purpose thoy sco fit, the mutter of ex pediency being the only matter for consideration in applying it exclusively to school purposes. Death of a Good Woman. Mrs. Snllie Gentry Drown ?lied nt lier homo in this city lust Monday morning at2.80 o'clock, ami the announcement of her death was a great shock to her numerous friends ami ncouaijtances throughout this section. About eight years ago she sufl'ered a slight Htroke of paralysis, from which she had never fully recovered, though she was able to walk about lier premises and persist ently looking sifter her household affairs as she always had done. On Sunday night she was in her usual cheerful, amiable mood, ate a hearty supper and retired to her bed appar ently in he- usual health. About mid night sin- aroused Jut daughter, Mrs. Moss, and complained of feeling very badly. Mrs. Mos? at once realized that lier mother was seriously ill, and sum moned Dr. Nardin, sr., to her home. The Doctor came and after awhile pronounced her uillictiou acute indi gestion. He went to his olliee to get some medicine, and a few minutes after his departure she quietly breathed her last. Mrs. Drown's maiden name was Mc Daniel, and she was born and reared in this County. In her girlhood her pa rents moved to this town, and she has resided her?' ever since. Had she lived until t be 1 Ith of next October she would ha vc celebrated hert?nd birthday. Mrs. Brown was twice married, lier first hus band being the late San ford Gentry, j who died in 1*03. J?y this union four children were boni, only one of whom, M;s. Annie Moss, sut vives her. Her second husband was James Drown, who preceded bor to the grave ti few | years ago. i At the close of the Civil War Mrs. Drown opened a restaurant in this city, and later added a bakery and a small stock of confectioneries. She was well known throughout the County and was liberally putroniz? '.. Her ginger cakes ami beer could not be excelled, ami many of them did she sell. Many a poor boy in Audersou in that day and time, (the writer among the number,) will ever remember lier many acts ot kindness and the many tempting cakes and glasses of sweet beer she gave free of cost to them. Her business prospered, and she linally turned it over to her son-iu-hiw, the late D. F. Moss, who died a few years ago. Mrs. Drown was a quiet, godly wo man, one of the excellent of the earth, lier walk was under that sweet spirit whose influence is always for good. .She would never speak evil of any one, and those who knew her best loved her most. It there was a poor sufferer that needed help she was ready to the extent of her ability to give it, and if there were sorrowing or bereaved ones who needed sympathy, she gave them a mother's cheer. She has gone to seek a well-earned rest in her eternal home, but her memory will long he cherished by a wide circle of friends, who deeply sympathize with the grief stricken daughter in her sore bereave ment. Mrs. Drown was reared in the Metho dist Church. Her second husband was a member of the Catholic Church, and j after her marriage to him she joined i that Church. I Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the funeral services? were conducted in ! the St .Joseph's Church by Dev. Father I Hughes, in the presence of a large con gregation of friends, nfter which the remains were interred in Silver Drook I Cemetery. Evans Lnliuier Controversy Kraches a Critical Point. St. George's, July 12.?The Senato rial and Congressional meeting was held here in the Court House to-day in the preseuce of about 300 people. A number of Indies occupied sents in the "jury box" and were interested specta tors of nil that transpired. The meeting was divided into two sessions, one in the forenoon, the other in the afternoon. i The morning session was not without incitlent. Messrs. Evans and Lntimer were "nt it" again, nnd at one time it looked like there would bo a tight within the bar of the Court room, but the sheriff of Colietuii, (an adjoining county.) put a stop to the matter. It came about in this way: Mr. Evans was the tlrst speaker and in his speech prodded Mr. Lntimer m the sumo way and on the same mutters which had been brought out at previous meetings. Mr. Lntimer made about the same re futations nnd said that they, meaning the Reformers, had carried Air. Evans as long as they could and had dropped him, and made some allusion to Evans being his "friend," to which Evans re plied: 'You never were my friend.. You betrayed me like a dog.v Then Mr. Lntimer brought up the ?15,000 bond deal and said Evans had been charged with it the last campaign, ami Evans corrected him by saying thnt it bad only been rumored, and some reference was made to anony mous circulars in connection with Mr. Duncan's name, but their meaning was not clear. Mr. Evans added that ho had denied the accusations at thotime, denouncing it as a lio. He now de nounced it as such and the man who repeats it is a liar. At this point Mr. Latimer appeared to have reached the poiut where en durance ceased to be a virtue, hence the enactment of the little tragedy. The meeting proceeded without inci dent until nfter receis, when the party went to the hotel to get dinner. Mr. Latimer proceeded to Mr. Evans's room and said: "Mr. Evans, 1 wish to have a word with you," to which Mr. Evans replied: "No. sir, you cannot talk to me," and walked down-stairs and went out nnd dined with a friend. There "was no excitement, but those who know both of the men think that matters will soon reach a crisis. Doth evidently had friends in the audience, and the other four candidates were perhaps the most interested spectators. In Memoriam. Died, nt his home in Seneca, S. C, July 4, 1002, Mr. Thomas Harper, one of the oldest and best citizens of Oconee County, in the 85th year of his age. Drother Harper was born and reared in Anderson County and lived thero until after his tlrst marriage. His first wife was a daughter of Rev. James Wilson, of blessed memory. By this union several children were born, and the following are still living: John W. and James G. Harper, Mrs. Dr. John Hopkins and Mrs. Jack Hop kins, of Seueca, nnd J/ra. Chas. T. Philips, of Tokeena. His last wife was Mrs. Kittie Alexander, of Oconee County. She survives him. Drother Harper was bapiized into the fellowship of ?ix-and-Tweuty Church in Anderson County more than 00 years ago, and was clerk of the Church for some time. Three years ago ho was Earalyzed and has not been well since, aving had several strokes since that time, each dne leaving him weaker and less able to bear the next. It was my privilege as bis pastor to visit him of ' ten during pis sickness nnd not one time did I hear him complain at the will of God. He loved his Church and no man ever ioyed hiB family more ! than he. > His funeral was preached by the writer assisted by Rev. J. R. Moore, after which his body was laid to rest 1 in the Cemetery nearby. D. Holland's Store.
