Nance and Others to Speak at O'Neall Academy on Saturday. As already announced in The Tieraid and News, the school picnic will be held at O'Neall academy, *| 1 July 11 th. In addition to other distin- , guished speakers who have been invited to be present, Miss Mary T. Nance, president of the Rural School Improvement Association of South Carolina, has accepted an Invitation, and will address the people in the interest of the rural schools. This meeting is to be an educational rally, and it is hoped that a sufficient interest may be aroused to get the people together and at work for the establishment of a high school. Under the high school law in lh>s State, most of the high schools which have been established have been placed in cities and towns. The original idea with the legislature in passing the high school law and in appropriating $">(),0(1(1.(11) was to encourage the building of high schools in the rural districts, and in order to do so, the consolidation of weak' and small schools. As a practical result, however. only a very small proportion of these high school's have been established in the country. It is hoped thai there will be a large at tendance at O'Neall on Saturday, and everybody is invited. A picnic dinner. for which (he people af this community are famous, will be served on , the grounds, and an all day meeting had. THE LUTHERAN CHURCH. Rev. Edward Fulenwider, Pastor.

Caldwell Makes Som Valuablo Suggestions'?Action Must be Prompt. lOditor of Tlu? Herald ami News: I desire to call attention again I lie suggestion which 1 made sotn A'eeks ago to keep the old court Iiousi partly lor the use of one or tnor public ofiices, partly for a free publi ibrary and rest place for the ladie joining to the town of Newberry. Tli question of preserving the buildin md that of the purposes for which i -hall be used; if it is allowed t ;tand, will come before the peopl it the next Democratic primary elei lion, in such form as the county ex jcntive committee shall see proper t |>ut it. Hut in order to put the quo thai properly before voters it i necessary to lay before them som more definite scheme, some fulle irrangement than I attempted lo so forth. T did not undertake to fornni late any details. My only purpus was to propose a general scheme, i being my hope (hat others of in way of thinking would suggest fin I her and more specific arrangement und regulations. A committee consisting of l)i Cromer, F. 11. Uominick, Ksq., an myself, lias been designated by (It counutv to prepare a question to I) voted upon at the primary eleetio in August, lint that committee wi be al a loss to frame the issue in less we have something more tang hie to go upon than has so far aj peared. It is now the duty of the Newbei ry Library association, or those wh may form such an association, to ill clsiro themselves?to let it be know what they arc willing, and what the propose to do. Any corporatioi joint stock company, or other nnio ol persons desiring to have the use c the upper floor should offer som plan by which that floor shall be kej and used for a library and rest placi I nloss they propose such a langibl and definite arrangement, the whol scheme must fall to the ground. Tim arrangement necessarily involves tw things: 1st. the preservation and car of the building, and 2nd, its use, ;i relates-to the upper story, for tli public benefit. I oiler the following suggestionspremising that the ladies of the tow must take the matter in hand, am with or without the cooperation <1 other sex, make out a definite plat In my opinion, the library associalio as ii now exists is insullicient. society should bo formed enhracin more persons than now own and cor I rol l lit- library. Kvery decent whit person in the county ought lo be ii viled to join the society. The orcai i/.ation llius formed should be entirel separated from the great big Fedei ill ion o| Woman's clubs (or whatevc is the name of that aggreg \ion), an he a distinct, independent society o people of this county. And the s< piety should be incorporated, so as I have a legal status, and he capabl is a unit, of holding properly, incui ring obligations, and enforcing con tracts, and so as to secure definit iml systematic action and regain!ioi A charter can be easily procured, an it a very small expense. T do not se low sin arrangement with the count inthorilies for the use of the build inn1 can he cllected withoul such coi porale organization. Xo ten, twen ly, or I illy private persons, no matte liow respectable themselves, and 11 matter how worthy iheir object, con dilute it body with which the conn l.v ollicers could well, <>r should con Irad, for any length of time. Such a corporation should guaran lee the preservation and care of lh miilding, at least of the upper floor nul this would include keeping tli roof, doors, windows, steps, &c., i epair, and also, T should think, keep ng up pari of the insurance of tli miilding. It should also guarante lie use of I hose upper rooms for ending room and resting place, as Jeseribcd in my former nrlicle, Tli lse by the colored people of a poi lion of the ground floor, which uiggesled, should be safeguarded i like manner. I have heard no rc <ponso from that race to my sugges f. (ions; so we may, l'or the; present, blv leave (hem out of this discussion. It' to e (hey choose to avail themselves of the tlx opportunity, they may do so, of wh course. Hut, by the way, in order to (hi avoid all controversy based upon un- dn lawful discrimination against them, T am u would have reserved for them the pi*? e use of that portion of the ground- cm ' floor suggested in my former com- (hi e mimical ion, so that, whenever (hey thi c apply for it, under such terms as 1 ihi s have mentioned, they may Yive the no e benefit of it. am g The enterprise is not a very dif- cm t ficult one, and il need not be expen- be, o sive; but il is one requiring prompt c and energetic action. If it is not put ter - into shape within a month or so, the ion opportunity will he lost both for a arc 0 line library and for a rest ins/ placet '1" for our neighbors and visitors, and ! rei s also for that intercourse between the pa e people of the town and the people out r of (own which, f think, would prove ovi 1 both enjoyable and beneficial to (lie hi.u i- ladies of the whole county. or c The ladies who have charge of the,'hi I existing library are the fittest pcr-jp": y sons to take the initiative in the mat- J ? *- ter. If they arc willing to abandon i *1" s the small business they now carry on I" in one small room for a much larger i nui >\ and more useful work in a comnio-1 yes d dious suite of rooms, (hey may agi-' of e (ate the enterprise so as to enlist) many other women and a good inany.co> n men in (he movement, and form an i bu II organization suN'cicut to carry out the Jan i- scheme. I presume that their present I wli i- club connections need not stand in I (ei )- their way, but may be severed when- to\ ever it suits them. I suggest that | cx] they call a public meeting, to be held {m;i () within the next three or four weeks, an in which the project shall be dis- 1 n cussed, and through which (he neoes- jm y sarv steps shall be taken to consum- (|)( ^ mate a plan. It is for them to deler- in n mine whether they will move at all. (],< (? If (hey choose to confine (heir ef- ,\i [G t'orls within (heir present narrow quarters and their present contracted ti;, ? sphere of operation, il is none of my vo e business. Hut I feel it my duty to si,( Ipltbe people of (his town and (o the j i people; of this county to urge the W)l 0 estnblishiviMit of such a library, read- ||l( ,0 ing room and rest place as 1 have ad- so 1S vocalcd. A public library is a prime a)l |C necessity for our people. Considering | their mental capacity, their opportun- |0 _ ities, their means, their rcsponsibili- Wi; n ties, and their interests, the white po- <,n j pulation of the South is the most igj', norant in the world. This is because ^ ( they have Tint realized the value of books and (he importance of reading, n . , , soi ^jnooks are (lie storehouses u| knowledge. the schools of thought. They J *t | ^ (each what the greal minds of tlio| world have learned: and thev furnish e ' , , , we ( to our minds tne material and lliej j stimulants for progress in all depart 1 i . > | . , cm iinenls < I human aelivitv. Perhaps no y - 1 , cai , man or woman ever grew to be good | , ,r or wise from mere reading; but the | wisest of us can derive great as>isl- . P ance from the study of other men's 11,1 , discoveries and thought, and the aver- !'1' i | age man or tnoman can be informed, ' p and stimulated to greater thought, and lifted to a higher sphere of taste, S1 senliinenl and moralitv bv (lie read- " i- ( . I ^ ing ol gooil hooks. In (his ease, as j | in many others, the supply creates a u> (j I demand. Nothing leads men to read j ''' I so much as having books before them, i The establishment of libraries has, I everywhere, been followed by increas- I ed reading. The food (hey furnish { j does not satiate, but whets the appe- |)N tile. The reading peoples are the W() I infltienl ial peoples of I he world?as ( I witness Prussia in Kurope, Scotland. , i in (ireat Ibilain and M assachuset is, i- ? . . C'Ol I in I he I niled Stales. We in the , o i >el J South are in practical bondage, not ^ j only in lileralure, but in political |! knowledge, financial business, agri- j jn< 'j cultural science, and (he many mat- ~ ' 1 ters of everyday affairs, because we I I do not keep abreast with the rest of | * M I the world, and apply to our affairs what we may learn from the outside, J The other half of the arrangement :|11 I T have proposed is of equal importV j ance with I he library, and of even j I more immediate moment. This is the im c j ... , ; rM _ I providing of a place where ladies LVf, j j coinilie lo (own, ami I heir small chil- I 'jdren, may rest and refresh 1 hemx I-j " t \'es. The men oul-IiI lo be able lo lakej.0' J care ot themselves. for reasons whi?di I >- I need not state. There are, pmba-jwa a thousand ladies who enmc here shop, who have not friends near j business part of the town on om they feel warranted to impose mselvesr?and still loss their chil n?for even an hour of resting 1 recuperation. And there are, ibahly, several hundred who would ne here much more often than V do, if there were a place where y felt free to rest themselves and ir children. This is a matter of little interest, to our merchants; I to these ladies it is a matter of isiderable importance. This would so far as it noes, :i public use of 1 property consistent with the itis of the Coate deed, in my opiuI-?especially if the coh/Ved people allowed (he share of the groundor which I have suggested, and the nainder of (hat floor is used for hi it- ollices. It would not be safe the eouuty authorities io turn t the whole building, even for the :hes| rent. In any private persons, to any private corporation, for ir own private use; but that distil ion would operate as a forfeiture the public tenure, and leave the ice now occupied bv the buildim; be swooped down upon by the my Coate heirs who have for forty irs been enquiring about the. lease their ancestor. I have nn'de no estimate- of the *t of u'..i.r. a ml main'.. luing the iiditig i :i;'\o suggc.-Pd. There ' several crsoiis in the community 10 can figure out such things bct than I, but I imagine that our aii people, with the assistance to be peeled from people out of town, iv provide for all expenses without y material cost to subscribers. The point of prime and immediate portanee is to get to thinking about matter, so as to have the question shape for action by the voters of county at the primary election in igust. If we have no definite, pracable arrangement to submit at that ne, I fear that a majority of those lets will decide that the building uld be removed. And, anxious as am lo preserve it. 1 think they uld be justifiable in so voting; for re would be no sense in keeping large a building, subject to fire <1 decay without any use for it. And am inclined to think that ceasing use it for public purpose woukl ok the forfeiture of ti-tic to the nind on which it stands. As 1 have said, 1 see uo ofcliftr peris so competent or so well situated the ladies of the existing library iety to lake hold of this matter d carry ii forward. They are a istanlial nucleus around which we icrs may gather, and who.-e lead may follow and support. I (eel ilidenl thai they and the assotes i hey ina\ easily draw to them i carry out a plan on the lines I ve indicated. It any one has a different scheme leerning this building, I hope that or she will give us the benefit id' As Horace says: "Si quid novi red ins istis, candidus imperii; n.'fti, his utere niccauin"?which I old paraphrase, for this occasion, I you know any better plan, let have it; if you do not, lake a nd with us in this one."

MAGNIFICENT SCENE IN CONVENTION HALL. Bryan Demonstration One of tho Greatest Spontaneous Expressions of Enthusiasm Ever Witnessed? Crushing of Gufl'ey?Gray Can Have Second Place. Kd it until Correspondence The Slate. Denver, Colo., July 8.?When tho remnant ui the Cuban army, hungry, worn and tattered, inarched into Havana in the spring ui' 'SJU and passed in review before its little grizzled chief, Homey., standing in the balcony of the governor general's palace, there was displayed by the people an enthusiasm that was akin to adoration. They worshipped (Some/, and those other Cubans who had endured every thing for the sake of liberty. N??I belore or since have 1 witnessed such real enthusiasm as thai manifested in I lie Democratic national convention today. This was nmre noisy, more gladsome. This sprang from hope and faith; that of the Cubans was a glorified thanksgiving. it was a magnificent scene from the spectacular standpoint. It was worth coming "J,OHO miles to see. The hall is ideally arranged and decorated lavishly, yet with perfect taste. The galleries were hanked wit 11 thousands of women, many in colored gowns and thousands with pennants. These thousands waved banner and handkerchiefs while the delegates upon the floor used arms, flags, lials and even coats to emphasize their cheers. When the tearing off of the State standards began South Carolina took early pari and Maryland and Louisiana, two doubtful ones, quickly followed. In the North, Deleware, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut remained unmoved. In the South, Georgia stood alone, despite the calls for her Southern sisters, hut there was a si niggle for the Georgia standard and for more than an hour eight or ten of the delegation had to hold the standard and keep the l?ryan men on the delegation from tearing it np and joining the procession. The Georgians would not move even when the bands played all the Southern airs and when enl luisiasl ic women wore raised upon the rostrum and waved banners. Poor Georgia! Iler home quarrels have left her sore and she knows not whal she wants. She acts strangely in the home of her fathers. The only oilier home that is opened i- where "Marching Through Georgia" is the favorite. The lirvan demonstration today was wholly spontaneous and utterly unexpecte d by I lie mauavciiienI.

PRINTING ON TIN. Myriads of Dccovatcd Boxes and Cans Produced Annually. Within ?-t 111(>:?i*:iti\ely recent years there has conic to be done a great amount of printint; on tin in making the innumerable decorated cans and boxes used in marketing various manufactured products, says the New. York Sun. Printing on tin is done from metal plates of zinc or aluminum, but mora commonly from stone blocks. It is commonly done in two or more col* ors; with the nse ol only two colors the effect of three may be produced by leaving a part of the bright tin exposed. Many boxes or cans arc printed in three or four, or half a dozen or even a still greater number of cidors. Kacli color must lie printed on the tin separately; nobody has yet invented a multicolor press for printing 011 tin. Of course, tin does not absorb inlc as paper does, and so printed tin plates must be dried. As the printed plates come through on the press the_y are taken off the stone one by one and stood separately in a movable rack that will hold about 20 plates. As fast as racks are filled they are rolled into a kiln for drying', a process that may require from one to two hours. And the plates must bo dried in this manner every time they come off the press, which would be, for example, six times if they were printed in six colors. It might seem that the elaborate handling required in ??c drying process and the repeated handlings required in the repeated printings would add materially to the cost of the boxes, but il doesti I add so much as might be thought, for there are many pieces on a sheet. Of these strips for the sides .-.no cuds of sardine cans, for instance, there might, be 'JO printed on one slice' of tin. desijns fur <mall box covers there might be engraved on a simile block, as many as SO, which would in a single color be ell printed at otice. So in a <Irvi11rack holding '2D plates there would be U>D sardine strips of l.iiOtl small box covers, in this process all handled at once. With the plates f^r all parts duly printed the printed tin is cut up and made into boxes. Thes" decorated tin boxes of various sizes, shapes and coloring and manner of decoration are all made to order for the various consumers using them in l he marketing of their goods. Some buyers of tin boxes supply to the It ?x manufacturer the designs to be used, completely printed with I lie colors to he reproduced for other buyers special de-ig11s and coloring's are supplied by the box manufacturers. In cither case | lie specially designed box bocomes sooner or later a distinguishing mark < !' the goods or the preparation contained in it. The number of these various sorts of decorated tin cans and boxes now sohl is enormous. There are single concerns putting goods on the market in such packages that tlicy buy 10,000,000 to 1."),ODD,000 of decorated tin boxes a year, and in the aggregate there are now sold of such cans and boxes hundreds of millions annually.
