THE CONFEDERATE REUNION An old soldier, who attended the reunion i.i Colimbia this week, was heard to renark that if lie had known there were as many vonifeder. ate soldier.s as (here arIe, lie nevel W11ld have, surrendered.

The fact Sthat the provision was pult in tihe act ntot allowing these huigh schools in tow~ns andi cities of more thatn 1000 population, is ev'ident to oull mind of the initetion rf t.he legislature to be 1 as stated above. The state board of etdicaltion, howeer. decides thlat -these high schlools may be0 establish - edi ill towns of mnore than 1000 by in elniidinig thte towniship inl which' the~ Stown may be situated and calling it a i towinshipj high school, instead of at t ceity high school. In other words, the eitizens of No. 1 Townshipy.~ltd ing the cit.y of Newberry, unl4er .this t iiteiipreiotion might establish a high sehool in the city of Newberry.

We notice in the Abbeville Medium an editorial fron the Florence Tirnes, c Calling atention to the Corresponldelce fromll Spartanbum, in the News and f Colurier as to pwlsiolns.

Of coilrse Spar alluuiri has grown ill population a g-reat deal slice the c'lose of the war, and many cotton mills have been built. and no doubt coifederate sold iers have moved inl from other coun ties and from North Carolina, but it hardly seems creditable that they i should have increased the pension roll as much as it now appears to be. , In other words, while Newberry county has about 160 names on its h pension roll. Spartanburg has about S0t). and while Newberry gets about -4.500 in the appropriations. Spar innhnr :ret: over 2.000.

The statement that '' the modler- 6 ate use of aleholic b)evera2es (as an article (of diet) is for adults usually beneficial,'' ought not to be publicly I announced as in harmony with the vie~ws of the leading clinical teachers of medicine upon the authority of an overwhelming weight of numbers. The members of the teaching staffs of our medical schools are well known and can be readily approached. Have they been approached7 If so, how is a the absence of their names to be ree (onciled with the claim of the mani festo to speak on their behalf?i If these teachers have not been ap proachued what right have the signa tiures to speak for them. Until these questions are answered, the moral weight of the manifesto is nothing more than that of t.he individunal opinions oif those .whiose names it bears. No Excuse.
