Mr. Haynsworth has recently graduated from the South Carolina College, ad is ful ly competent to discharge satisfactorily and .reditably the ronsible position he has On Monday the outlook for the success of the Charleston Gala Week was most dis couraging. . Happily, there was a break in the rainy weather Tuesday mormiag. The sun rose clear and bright and the prospect is now flattering, indeed, for a week of de lightful days. Crowds have already gather ed in the city, and large additions are dai ly arriving. This town and county has al ready contributed a full share of the visit cr, and more are expected to go. The rce of aticket thither and return is only On account of the dreadful weather of last week, the Court of Common Pleas which bid fair to occupy the whole -week with coz stant work, adjourned without accomplish ing but very little. -Only the following casei were tried : osa Weinberg vs. D.

Meeting of the School Trustees. Notwithstanding the inclement weather or last Saturday, the cell of Major P. G. Ben bow, our school commissioner, for a meeting of the school trustees met with a liberal re. sponse. Six of the ten school districts were represented, and the board of examinern were present too, The school commissione briefly stated the object of the meeting which was to devise some means to. improve the public school system of the county. Captain J. A. Millsbeing called upon first stated that his board had agreed to reduet the schools in his district to four whit< schools and three colored schools. On thi: pointhis remarks were very clear and prac tical. Messrs. Way, Bilups, Clark, and Dus Bose all agreed that it was very necessar to reduce the number of schools in theirre spective districts. Mr. Way said in his dis trict, No. 3, there would be only four school -two white and two colored. Mr. DuBose representing No. 10. thought his boar< would have .four white and two eoloret schools. Messrs. W. J. Clark, W. D. Bil lups, and W. .1. Gamble stated that thei boards had taken no definite action on thi subject. Professor S. A. Nettles being cal ed upon in a considerable speech, gave hu views -which were listened to very attentiv ly. After more or less discussion, the fo: lowing ..soltion offrred by Mr. y. 3 Mills was unanimously adopted : RESOLED : That the trustees o:- each school .istrict aivi-le Leir respective dis ttricts into suitable and con-En1cut schools; that the trustees fix the salary to be raid the eacher of each school, regardless of the num ber of scholars or of the grade of the teach er's certificate; and, that in case it is thought best to have a "line" school, the trustees of the several school districts fix the amount to be paid by each district interested for the salary of the teacher of the line school. The meeting then adjourned. Belting, Packing, Oils, and Mill supplies generally; lowest prices; also, a few second-hand Gins Presses Lorick & Lowrence, Columbia, S. C.
