Worse than a "race riot," don't you think? On another occasion I represented The Herald and News with a sheriff's ' iposse hunting a negro that had killed a white gentleman up in the Bush river community with a rock. Blood hounds had been secured from Colum bia, and we followed the hounds for a couple hours, and then some one found the negro within about a hundred yards of where we had started.

I could not write anything for an edition of this kind without saying something about the Evening Telegram?Newberry's first and only daily newspaper?that brave little bark which, with a stout heart, put out upon an unknown sea and rode the tempes-' tuous waves for seven months and one day. May 11, 1904, it began its voyage; December 12, 1904, it was wrecked on the breakers of non-support. I worked 18 hours a day on that little sheet, helping edit it and doing a little of everything else on it, and I regretted to see it die. While it was in existence, I went to Charleston, taking a position on the city staff of the News and Courier, but I came back to the Evening Telegram. After the Evening Telegram died, I went back to Charleston. The Telegram fought a good fight, and it kept the faith. During its -A ?1 - A -Li ? * struggle ior existence, me rt?w w ecus before it died, it might well have said, in the words of the Roman gladiators of old, as it greeted its readers every afternoon, "Morturi, te salutamus." But its columns struggled to be bright and cheerful, and it went down with its colors flying, and al] hands saluting. Requiescat pace, until the work wmcn it attempted snan nna iruitipa, i in the days of progress which I hope ars before Newberry, in a daily which will be supported by the town. Will Seabrook did his first regular newspaper work upon the Telegram. He developed rapidly irto a good newspaper writer, and he made good on the Augusta Chronicle, and after a, trip to Europ-e, he holds now a responsible position on the Atlanta j Journal. He married not long ago. It would hardly be within the scope of this article to go into the details of the present organization of The Herald and News force and a description of its modern plant.

The Herald and News of today speaks for itself. Sad thoughts are conjured up by a review of the past, however short that j past may be, or however limited in i scope the review. Thomas Moore expressed the thoughts of a great many of us when he penned "The Light of Other Days." The immutable law of ?2. 3 t. 3 j ?^ _ ? ! cnange is stem ana nam, ana ommes j seems very cruel. Friends and com-! panions of other days are fighting life's battles on other fields. Loved ones hare found an eternal home, i Lights and shadows have played across our pathway, and sometimes the shadows have been deep and heavy. But it is not desired to fatigue the i readers of The Herald and News with reflections tinged with sadness. It remains only to express tie hope that The Herald and News may grow i in usefulness to the community. Since I have known it, under its present edi- : tor, it has sought the path of duty and has striven to follow it. It has labor- j ed for the upbuilding of the commu-; nitv and has tried to pass by unnotic- i ed the ingratitude of any.

The; effort has been to mil*c its policy con structive rather than destructive. It has not feared to print all ihe legitimate news, because that was its business. At times in doing its duty as it saw it, it has made enemies. That this should have been necessary was; a matter of deep regret, but, th? nec-j essit.y apparent, there was no flinching from the task. That it may grow in strength and in; influence for good, conserving the high I principles which have been its ideals, is the hope I would express for it.!

We notice these three things bout the schools of 50 years ago: 1. The teachers were men. 2. The school was ruled by fear. 3. Spelling by bringing up the syllaiks was the foundation upon which n education rested. A rigid home training in the quiet ounty close to nature and God and way from temptation, and a school ife under these stern masters, rought forth law-abiding citizens. A veteran suggests that the gra-neur of the soldiers in Lee's army deended upon this training. We have departed from tho good v : .v-v- fl WF77vy I. \\ ,v ill}.,'//// /// <?.

YOUR GROCER LANE & COM1 0 and 212 Newl old rule of spelling taught by our forefathers, but I fear that we will yet acknowledge that "the stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner." But war passed over our land. The flower of our young manhood slept in a soldier's sepulcher. Then woman, whose nature is like the vine, for woman naturally clings to and leans o* man for support, was forced to harden her gentle nature and stand alone. The school, which is a continuation of mother's teaching in the home and a stepping stone to life, was the first door open to woman. She entered and lias proven a success, as is evidenced by the fact that after 50 years the- great majority of teachers are women. Miss Euphenmia McClintock, Newberry's own daughter, is a worthy college president. Ella Flagg Young presides over the schools of Chicago, 111., and many other noble women occupy high places. But few women make teaching a life work. A college course is the best gift parents can bestow upon their .daughters. This is expensive. The students; sine of "the money we spent in college life." Many parents make great sacrifices to educate their girls, and the girls feel that they must teach to make things even. They enter the school room with the best of intentions and do noble work there, but a strong voice say's, "Come, lean on me." The promise is given and another teacher has been promoted to wifehood and motherhood, the grandest sphere prepared for woman. Many knotty problems confront the teachers of today. There is lack of home training and discipline. Father has to work for long hours and it takes all his time and attention to meet the extravagancies of our time. Mother must aid in earning a livelihood, must attend the cluh, or do church or mission work. So the precious treasure whom God has given grows up in idleness and finds bad company in the streets or elsewhere. Then it is so rasy to call off parental responsibility and let the whole load fall upon the teacher. I have even heard it. preached from the pulpit three times, that the schools are entirely responsible for the conduct of the children of this generation. There comes to school the much-tobe pitied spoilt, selfish child, who has been taught that it is just a little better than ether children and must have "..f'''' I I \rr 1 l /mciais 1 igate M ities and ooking ays iat cornLaws PANY jerry, S.
