It would seem to be the plain duty of the legislature to support Clemson college by a direct appropriation in the same manner as the other insti tutions of the State are supported. The position of The Herald and News seems to us to be the correct anI wise onp--A. R. Presbyterian. For the good of Clemson and for the interests of the State, the support of Clemson must eventually be by di rect appropriation. THE PROSPERITY SCHOOL. There is no greater agency for the development and growth of any com munity than a first class school. In order to have such a school, it is nec essary to raise money in order to pay the teachers and other expenses of the school. There should be sufficient funds to secure the best talent. Un fortunatiely, in many instances, our people have not considered as careful ly as they should the fitness and capa eity of the teacher to whose training they commend their children. The era of lack of proper interest, however, we believe, is- rapidly pass ing in this section, and it as a good omen that more attention is being given, particularly, to the high schools and rural schools Qf the Stare, and more care is being takp.n i4 the selec tion of those who are to nave chgrge of the children. The devolpment of the senool at Prosperity has been marked during' the past several years. We can re call wheTi there was only a two room schpol building, barely equippet, una 'later another~ building was erected in the town of wod which was- sumf ~ient for the needs of the school, The peopj piot satisified with this, however, Went to work wi4y a 4e'v years ago ?iid have erectedl a handsome brick building, and it is well equipped and equal to any building in any town o s,imilar size. -~The school, however, is growing,, &nd in order to keep pace with the deveopment of the times, it is neces- I sary to have more fu'tds so that suf ficient Bala$d may be provided to seut and retain the very best teach Mi. Looking to that end, an election has been ordered for next Tuesday to vote an additional two-mill tax on the district for school purposes. Thius election shiould be carried without a dissenting vote. There is no doubt .that the additional tax will be voted by a decided majority, but it would be very gratifying to the friends of the school, and they should include every citizen in the district, if the vote was unanimous. The past year, which came to a close this week with a most initerest ing program, has been very success ful. Prof. Geo. D. Broil and his as . sistants have done good work, and the trustees, if possible, should re -tain their services for another ses sion. The teachers, such as now con stitute the faculty of the Prosperity school, are in demand, and if the dis trict can not pay adequate salaries, they can not expect to retain such teachers. It is important, in fact, the most important, question before the people of the community. Brother's Bright Prospects. A group of little girls were discuss ing the merits of the babies in their families, and each was striving to outdo the others in reciting the vir tues and achievements of the home infant. "My little sister is only 7 months old, and she has three teeth," said one. "My little brother hasn't any yet," ventured a second, "but when his do come they're going to be gold ones." -May Lippincott's. Homely Illustration. Washington Star. "Sometimes a virtue can be exag gerated until it becomes a vice," said the earnest adviser. "I see exactly what you're comin' at," replied Tarantula Tim. "Where as four aces is a blessin' an' greatly to be admired, five of 'em kin create untold dissension." L NEWBERRY 11 NORS HEROES OF SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY (Continued from page one). Jonathan Werts, J.

Badge Presented by Veterans to Ned Gilliam, Who Recovered Master's Body Under Heavy Fire. A striking and unique feature of Memorial day here on Wednesday af ternoon was the presentation to an old negro, Ned Gilliam, of a badgel for the heroism which he displayed in recovering the body of his master from the field of battle, and bringing it home for burial. The badge was presented by the James D. Nance camp, United Confederate Veterans, the presentation being made by Vet eran W. G. Peterson, who introduced the resolution in the camp for recog nition of the negro's act: On the 13th day of December, 1862, the Federal army, commanded by Gen. A. E. Burnside, attacked the Confed erate army, commanded by Gen. R. E. Lee, -at Fredericksburg, Va. Gen.,] Kershaw's brigade was stationed on Lee's hill, to the right of the telegraph"I road, some dis-tance farther from' Fredericksburg than. Mayree's Heights. As the Federals were con centrating their attack on Mayree's Heights, General Kershaw was order ed to move his brigade by flank, left in front, down the telegraph road to-f I wards Mayree's Heights. This move ment was made in full view of the Federal artillery on the Stafford hills,! across the Rappahannock river. Theli Federals concentrated their whole fire on Kershaw's brigade. This was one! f the hottest artillery fires the bri- Ij 5ade was Mecir unde'. While going down this road Lieutenant James , Spencer Piester, a member of Coin-< pany C, 3d S. C. regiment, was strucki by a shell from the Federal cannon < and his leg cut off, and w'as left in :he road. . . Ned Gilliam, colored, a servant of Lieutenant Piester, was up on the [t 1i1.1 above, out of danger. Ned was t nformed that his master was shot and i tilled down the road. He immediately' started down the road, and amid the 1 ;hriek of the shells ;and the groans >f the wounded and dying, he reached 3 113 mnaster, put him on hi biek, ahd 3arried him back out of danget of the s'hells. Here Ned dha~ a grave, and, c w'rapping his da~st's body in three~ blanket, he buried 'him as best he mould, a.nd then, as so-on as he could, te came home. As soon as he was able to make the'I atecessary arrangements. Nea e-w: 1 back to Virginia, .got a coffin at Rich mnond, went to the temporary grave of his master, secured the body, and brought it home3, and Spencer Piester2 was buried in his native St.ate, att Cannon's Creek, in this county. Ned has always been true to the cause of the Confederacy, and always attends the State reunions. For this fidelity to his master, and his bravery shown that bloody De cember day, the James D. Nance camp, No. 336, United Confederate Veterans, of Newberry, presented .the badge to Ned, Adjutant Buford deputizing Vet-1 eran Peterson to make the presenta tion. The badge bears the following in scription: "Presented to Ned Gilliam by Je -nes D. Nance Camp, No. 336, U. C. V., for fidelity to his master and bravery on the field of battle, December 13, 1862."
