control of the Charleston Journal of
Commerce, and advocates of a straight
out fight will tind in him a valuable
champion of their cause. Under Col.
Ithett's guidance the Journal will be aggressive
and if the course indicated in
has salutatory is followed out he will be
able to assist in reorganizing his party on
advanced grounds and possibly leading
it on to victory next November.
in spite of the intense heat a large
audience witnessed the exercises of the
children at the Tabernacle Church last

themselves as delighted with the exhibition.

Scuooi. MEETiNO.-The adjourned |
school meeting was held at the. council
chamber last Saturday, a very slim attendance.
The trustees made their
annual report as follows:
Local tax collected $1,500,68
State appropriation 1,873,22
Total $3,873,90*
Paid ^packers salaries $3,340,12
" for books 42,13
" Incidentals 444,04
total 3,820,29.
Leaving a deficiency of $131,39.
The report of the trustees was exam-!
iued by a com nittee appointed by the!
chair and reported correct. The trustees
submitted a resolution levyiog a school
tax of tli.ee mills for Btuuf- rc towmbip
which w.is adopted. The question ot
mixed school was then discussed for
nnir I..,:
n""UU,?UJ ?"?S!
gained by the advocates of separate
schools for white and black. The trustees
seem willing to do what they can to
meet the wishes of the parents of white
children, but even if they so desired the
law would prevent the schools being
classed as wished for by some of our citizens.
We are assured that satisfactory
schools will be open next year for all, and
it is poor policy to bring up the question
of race at the school meetings, especially
so long as the trustees of "this township
are so willing to meet the wants of the
taxpayers by every concession that could
be reasonably asked for.
The Fourth was a gala day in Beaufort.
In the early morning the drowsy patrio! j
was awakened uy the' booming of cannon
on the fleet, nnd reminded sonic of similar
sounds a dozen years ago. The town
was gay with flags mid the irrcprcssiolc
drummer did his best to disturb the
morning nnil as u nap was impossible I
the people were soon on the street, all
wanting to know what was to be seen
and heard. The girls nnd women from
town and country with their gayest
apparel ma le the streets present a lively
scene and rejoicing the hearts of the stage
drivers who anticipated a rich harvest. A
large trade was done by our merchants
and nothing of importance occurred
during the day. In the afternoon the
militia were called out and seven nun
with muskets seemed to be all that was
left of the regiment that used to parade
our streets. A political meeting in the |
afternoon was addressed by several of!
our prominent politicians, and a small i
display of fireworks after dark ended 1
the d >y. ^
Mr. It. C'?. Pluming, superintcndant of
the I'urt lioyul Railroad, invited several
Augusta gentlemen to accompany liim
on n visit to the fleet yesterday, and tliey
arrived at Port J loyal on the afternoon
train, 'i he ships on this day it was
supposed would present greater uttraetions
and the strangers would also enjoy
the novelty of seeing a national salute
tired. Mr. Fleming's party was increased
on the way to about twenty-rive including
several members of the Beaufort Bar,
railroad officials, half a dozen citizens of
Iloaufort, ami one gentleman who has a i
son, with tlic rank of lieutenant, in the:
navy. The party secured the launch j
Falcon and steamed down the river to
the monitor Lehigli, whose officers on
the approach of tho launch retired to
their quarters until the party left. As
some expressed a desire to visit the New
Hampshire the launch went up to her
gangway but a subaltern warned them off.
Mr. Fleming then inquired of an officer
?n deck if the party could not go aboard
but although las question was repeated
tluve limes no one lull the civility or
the authority to give htm an answer, and
11 icturn to Port Itoyal became a necessity,
alt hough after they had stinted Mr. I). C.
Wilson was seen to wave his hat for tiie
boat to return. Mr. Fleming and liis
guests, sonic of whom had entertained
the officers recently in such handsome
style in Augusta, were rightly incensed
at. the treatment received and declined
to turn back. A dance on hoard the New
Hampshire is the only excuse that can be
given for thc'actions of the officers who,
under the circumstances, wanted the
ship all to tlicnfsclvcs.

A correspondent of the News and
Courier in Ihirnwell asserts his belief
that appeals for help have become outrageous
He says that in llarnwell
county if there is any suffering for want
of food that it comes, in ninety per
cent, of the cases, from idleness, drunk
ennci-s or dishonesty. L'niployment can
be had by any industrious person white
or black, at fair wages, and he warns the
public against the appeals of those who
do not deserve help.
There is more money already levi al
and collected than the teachers can get.
We are opposed to levying or collecting
any more money for schools till tliat already
collected has been accounted for.
The cry is always "levy and collect," but
never do you hear a voluntary invitation,
"come and get your money." When the
teachers-except a favored lew, who are
iu the ring-get unything at all, it is after
they have waited and pinched themselves
along for months after their money was
due; and they get it in driblets; and even
these dri' lets are paid out with all the
agonies and reluctance with which a
man submits to the pnl'.ing out of an
eye-tooth.-Edgefield Adver tiscr.
