COUNTY SCHOOL MEN [j CONCLUDE MEETING i ? . !: Report Schools Doing Goodj; Work Over State?Talk Finances. The State. 18. But seven counties in the state j were without reDresentation at the i] / * meeting of county superintendents of j education which came to a clo'e in! this city yesterday. Four county su- j perintendents were kept at their home by illness. The principal topic up for discus- > 8ion before the county superintend-: ents was the public school appropria- j tions made by the recent legislature.! aid for the Dresent year! ~ " " I amounts to $l,500,00n, a sum in ex- : cess of the proceeds of tne tliree mill constitutional school tax. Rural graded schools will receive $275,000 next week, it has 'been announced from the office of the state superintendent of education. Salaries of attendance officers for January and February will also be paid next week, it has been announced. Discussion among the school superintendents centered around the equalizing law guaranteeing a seven months' term. The deficiency arising under.this law for the year 19191920 will be partly protected by the appropriation of $150,000, it has been announced. The 1921 appropriation will be disbursed within the next two weeks. # fcr' To carry out the guarantee of the equalizing law for 1920-21, the legislature appropriated $400,000. Applications for the current year can not be filed urttil the closing of the tax collecting period, May 15. It is announced by the office of the state superintendent that preliminary esti AJ+V>q+ narmont will VlJ}VP JH?LLt2*> lilUiVAtc umb yuj w ** ?- - to be scaled approximately 20 per cent. Teachers in these districts may expect about 80 per ceni, of the amount their districts will qualify " for during the year. v ? It is announced that all high school salaries will be paid in full, but that it is probable that teachers in elementary grades of high schools will have to face a scaling of state &id. Applications for high school aid will be paid in Hay and applications to relieve overcrowding in el *mentary grades of high schools will be paid in somp month. The schools were reported as doing good business. The superintendents attending the raeetir g were as follows: H. R. ?^apmaii, Aiken; J. R. Cullom, Allendale; G. S. Goodgion, Anderson.; H. W.

Vandiver in the Greenville J News. , -The War Between the States be- . - * ^ i ? n xX, /-<? gan ana enaea in oouui v/sruiiatt. j Historians tell about the Citadel ca- ) dets firing upon the Star of the West ' as she steamed into Charleston harbor, April 12, 1861, bringing supplies ; of war to the Federal garrison at Fort i Sumter. They also tell of later at- ' tempts upon Charleston from the sea, and of the gallant defense, but no j . history has told of the last shot fired ' in the war, because it took place away . off from the seat of war in a section ' which, though it sent many soldiers to the front, had escaped the actual ] fighting. < It was in Anderson county on the < first day of May, 1865. A body of \ Arsenal cadets, commanded by Col. Thomas had been defending some fortifications above Greenville and there, ; was in Greenville a military company f which had been organized to guard ; life and property. Capt. A. D. Hoke, * of the Butler Guards, its captain, Dr. j John A. Broaddus, afterward a prom- ? inent Baptist preacher, and W. F. Price, a rrember of the South Caro- i lina legislature, were its lieutenants. ^ Mr. Price had opened the State Ar mory m ureenviue ana trqu;ppcu mc ^ company with arms. On account of r this act, which might bring down yen- | gear.ce on his head, Mr. Price, at the t approach of a P'ederal company frornj N'orth Carolina, left the city, accom-i panied by a small party of civilians,! all armed. They soon overtook the > Arsenal company, which was also re-1 treating before the advancing enennv and the two united. ' They traveled; the highway between Greenville and; Anderson. They camped near the: home of Mr. William E. Long, north-' west of Piedmont, and stacked their, arms near a well and. being very tired, threw themselves upon the ground 10 resi, many of them falling, asleep at once. Coming from Pickens on that same 1 road was a party of Yankee cavalry i on its "way to destroy a bridge over! the Saluda river just below Pied- J mont, ;;is,o in search of horses. Fear-: ir.g no danger, they came yelling and | firing pistols, awakening the sleeping. Confederates. A few of the younger Arsenal boys in their sudden alarm j ran away, leaving their guns. The! greater part, however, stood their j ground and fired such a continual volley into the approaching party, not! having to stop and reload because as their charges were exhausted they, threw aside their own guns and picked up those abandoned by the fleeing ca-] dets, that the Federals retreated, turning into White Plains road and were soon out of sight, giving up their ( plan of burning the bridge. They left behind them one man badly wounded, who would have been dispatched by the maddened boys ex-; cept that some of the women of the community came upon the scene, beg-; ging for his life. One of them, Mrs. Moore, tool: him into her home, where he was carefully nursed until he was able to be carried to a hospital in Greenville. Among the Confederate party was! a youn? man named Paul Allen, a 1 Chariest on ian, who, it is said, fired the first shot at the Star of the West,: i :? n PitnHpl r?adet at the Hit V I Jig ucctl U VA WMHv. time, ar.d who, just to complete his record; in a satisfactory manner, fired the last shot at the retreating Federal cavalry in this final skirmish "On-thelonely road away off in Anderson county, ending, as he had begun, one of the greatest wars in all history. { r- The following boys, who were or have been citizens of Anderson coun- j ty, took part in this final skirmish: James L. Dean, D. S. McCollough, F.' A. Silcox, J. B. Lewis, G. W. Sullivan and E. A. Smyth The three last1 named are still living. In this skirmish James Spearman,' > . * ^ of Newberry, was sugjiuy wouimcu-v \ the hand by a slug"fired ?rom a shotgun in the hands of a negro man who was piloting the Yankees. The Monaghan cotton mill, at' Greenville, now occupies the spot, whe'fe the old armory- stood. ?The skirmish spoken of above was between the old residence of Mr. William Long and the John King place, about two miles out from Piedmont. ; Rural Repartee < If old Henry Barker was the most inquisitive man in the village, Bill Williams was the surliest. One afternoon, as Henry perambu- j lated slowly along the one narrow ' street, he paused at Bill's garden : fence and gazed inquiringly over at' Bill, who was busily engaged in nail- ; ing up a box. i "Afternoon, Bill," said the old man genially. "Whatever be you! puttin in that big box?" Bill paused in his hammering lpng ; enough to'retort curtly: "All your questions, V if it's big enough." j Henry eyed him in painful silence' for a few minutes. Then he took an eriipiy match box from his pocket and threw it over to Bill. * , "That'll do for your civil answers, if it's small enough," he retorted quietly. ;l I NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT j Notice is hereby given that I will' make a final settlement of the estate j :>f Mary Elizabeth Bushardt, deceas- ] sd, in the office of the Judge of Pro-: bate for Newberry county, S."
