We regret that absence from our office last week prevented our going upon record immediately after the Lake City tragedy. The press throughout the State has very pro perly placed the seal of condemna tion on the act and so has every citi zen with a spark of manhood and decency. The blood curdling tales of the early history of this country, when savages were roaming the for ests will not compare in heinousness to the horror of Lake City. To be forced to acknowledge that in South Carolina there exist human beings who under the cover of night will place a torch to a dwelling and as the inmates attempt to escape from the crematory they are shot down and left to burn, is an unendurable hum iliation; it is sufficient to bow the proud bead of the Carolinian in shame and forever seal his lips when others are boasting of their chivalry and bravery. Thank God! there is a way left open, to set ourselves straight before the world, and that is to assist the officers in bringing to justice those who participated in this hellish deed. Now is the time to teach those who are lawlessly inclin ed that such dastardly acts cannot be tolerated where schools and churches abound, and no stone should be left unturned to bring the guilty parties to justice; the affair is in such a shape, that it is incumbent upon the lawabiding element to go to work and see to it that the fiends are pro -uecuted. convicted and hanged. The hanging of the'leaders of this horri ble murder, would do more towards putting a stop to killings in this State than anything which could have happened. When it is considered how little excuse this mob had for resorting tc 'violence, the crime they committed becomes more sickening and blacker. Baker accepted a commission as post master of Lake City; it is true, he was not a citizen of that commu nity and the citizer.s were naturally indignant at having a man imported to fill the place, and they say he was incompetant; instead of waiting to convince the government of his in competency, they resorted to boy cott, afterwards to intimidation ther to the shot gun. As long as they did the man no bodily harm they had the sympathy of every body, and their representatives in congress were use ing every endeavor to have the mar displaced; the work of the represent atives was shockingly interrupted by one of the most diabolical deeds ever perpetrated in a land where there is one scintilla of civilization, the details of which are so horrifying that it makes ones blood boil with~ indignation one minute, and in the next his heart goes out in sympathy for that mother whose innocent babe was torn from her breast by a storm~ of lead. In the name of heaven, shal] the work of these demons go unpun ished? No, a thousand times no, every man who had any connectior with this devilment must be ferretted out,. and punished to the full extent of the law; this much is due the suff erers, it is also due the law abidin~ citizenship of that community and until the guilty are punished the dis grace is fastened upon that entire 'community, and indirectly upon thi entire State. Ool. W. C. McGowan aged about 4( years died at his home in Abbeville last Sunday afternoon. Colonel McGowan was the son o: the late Associate Justice Samue] McGowan and like his father he had a host of friends throughout thi J'State. He was being prominently mentioned as a candidate for Gover nor and his friends were strongly pressing him to make the race in the coming primary. Colonel McGowan . was a natural leader of men-hand some in appearence, brilliant, brainy conservative and popular. His un timely end is a severe 1-ss to his coun ty and State. I have been amficted with rheumatism foi fourteen years and nothing seemed to givi any relief. I was able to be around all to tinie, but constantly saffering. I had triec everything I could hear of and at last was told to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, whici I did, and was immediately relieved and ii a short time cured. I am happy to say thal it has not since returned.-Josh Edgar Germantown, Cal. For sale by Rt. B. Lor The Greenville News of last Sun day was a journalistic beauty and it 1 deserves the appreciation of the bus iness men of that city. We believe Ball shows to better advantage when he gives his talent to the develop ment of the material interests of his city, than when he assumes the role of a political dictator. Let that be as it may, last Sunday's issue of the News was a "peach." The tide of opposition to Governor Ellerbe is fast receding and we be lieve before the campaign is formally opened there will not be many can didates in evidence; The cause is plain, professional politicians are in politics for what is in it for them, and in order for them to be in a position to make anything, they must stand in with the people. It was their desire to crush out Ellerbe and by raising a storm of opposition against him they hoped to carry the people with them, but after a number of efforts they realized that Ellerbe's administration could not be attacked. It was so clean and frictionless that no open ing was left for opponents to get in a blow; they were smart enough to not undertake a campaign against the governor on account of his not pleasing them with some of his ap pointments because they knew full well the people would not listen to their woes. Now instead of a con tinuence of the fight they started out with, these political monte-men will run pell-mell to his standard and out-Herod the people in their support of him. We see it stated that Senator Till man expects to take a quiet hand in the fight for his friend Colonel Wat son, and we sincerely hope there is no foandation for the report. Ben Tillman is a great man and the peo ple have not lost confidence in him but should he undertake to put his nose into this business, it will be chopped off as was done in the Earle -Evans fight. The people may fol low Tillman, but when he undertakes to lead them for some one else that will call for a halt. We do not be lieve Tillman will undertake to use any influence in this campaign, for he knows full well that he has socks of his own to knit and will not have time to do any knitting for any one else. The more we see the move ments on the political chess board the more are we convinced- that Ellerbe will be his own successor. CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famnous for its cres of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most flatterng testimionibls have been received, giving ae counts of its good works; of the aggravat ing and persisteut coughs it has cared; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to its soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cored, often saving the life of the child. The extensive use of it for whooping cough has shown that it robs that disease of all dangerous conse quences. Sold by R. B. Loryea, druggist. A NEWS SUMM~ARY. The Events of the Week Reviewed-Very Little Gomg on Upon the Surface. Needed Legislation. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 26.-There will be no change in the county gov ernment law this year. The Hen derson bill has been buried in the governor's office. This disposes of the most radical measure of the last session. There is strange feeling over this act and great pressure has been brought to bear on both friends and opponents of the measure. U~n der the present law some counties have made under full records, while others have floundered hopelessly in the quagmire of debt. As is natural to suppose the friends of Henderson's bill are to be found among those who have not fared so well under the pres ent law while the others are its oppo nents. Among the counties that have made a success of the Evans law may be mentioned Barnwell, which coun ty reduced its expenses in two years from $28,000 to $1'7,000 and now has cash on hand. This is probably the most signal success that is to be not ed. In most instances, probably in all instances, the trouble has not beezn with the law, but with the adminis tration of it by unbusiness-like men. The lav. has also worked well in Richland, which now has a surplus for road-building. The governor has been in no hurry to sign the bills passed during the session and has very properly given much study to each one in its turn. Among the exciting events of gen erally news dtoing the week has been first and foremost the massacre at Lake City, the settlement of the agri cultural hail case, extensive forest fires that have done so much damage. The bringing of suit by the attorney general to compel the railroads to obey the law as to the erection of Union depots, the ordering of the election for Pee Dee county, the re vival of phosphate mining in Beau fort and the progress of the smallpox. The condenination of the Lake City lynchers is universal. Thero is a general desire for their prompt punishment, and at the same time there is a desire to put the necks of Messrs. Hanna and McKinley in the same noose, and also to let the canary statesman from Darlington have his share of the rope's end. In the agricultural hall case, the state surrenders its $10,000 mortgage, rather than fight the validity of the Blue Ridge scrip. There has been no great show of ability on either side in this fight. Mr. Lyles doubt less sees now where his over-zealous ness spoilt his client's case, while the state has had a long fight and lost at the end of it. It is an ugly chapter in our history, and the people will be' glad to see it closed. The extensive forest fires have called in a pointed and tragi~i man ner attention to the great danger from the vicious practice of burning off the woods in the spring, so com mon among farmers. A little more ertilizer that would build up waste and instead of destroying it and en langering the lives and property of he neighbors. It is not unlikely hat practice of burning off the oods will receive the attention of he legislature nest year. In regard to the suit against the railroads there is every indication of 3 stubborn fight to see who is boss in South Carolina, the railroads or the State. The fight does not par take of the spirit of oppression on the part of the State government which characterized the administra tion several years ago. Of late the state has shown every disposition to be fair and just and in a degree lib eral to capital and enterprise, and no complaint can be made on that score. It is the railroads now who are disposed to be unreasonable and to refuse to accede to the demands of the people who gave them birth and who nourisb them. It will be a long fight or the railroads will back down early in the game. In the end the state must be successful, for it has right on its side. Pee Dee county will very probably be created. At least every opportuni ty is now given to the friends of the new county to push their claims. The last election was declared void. on account of fraud, and it will now be the duty of the good people of that section of Marion to see that their name has no smirch on it. They won last time, and will probably win again, but they have strong men, manly and able counsel to contend against. Verily, Pee Dee will earn its right to live if it is created. The renewal of the phosphate in dustry in Charleston and Beaufort is one of the most gratifying items of news that the newspapers of the state have had to publish in quite a while. It has long been asserted by friends of the administration that this great industry was not dead, but only "playing 'possum" in order to get a reduction of royalty. Whether this is true or not, it is a fact that the men who are engaged in it are no more philanthropic than any other set of men in the state and it is fair to suppose that they see some money for themselves. and necessarily the state must come in for its share. The state is therefore justified in the firm stand it took against a reduction of the royalty. It is not every child who cries "sick" that needs the doc tor. The paddle has been known to do more good sometimes than medi cine. In regard to the smallpox scare, there is enough fire in the saoke to cause men to be apprehensive and to justify the health authorities in the compelling of vaccination. Wheth er chicken pox, it can no longer be claimed that there have been no deaths from it for Pelham mills in Greenville county has had two deaths in the last few days. So far as politics is concerned, there is little to be learned. The politicians have been resting for the past week and probably incubating new booms that they will spring la ter. It is understood that the mails are kept pretty hot, but there has been little talk. The effort to recognize the scat tered forces of the "truly loil" is still in progress and the politicians who are interested conservation of these forces seem satisfied with their work but it is an open secret that they are afraid to push themselves under any one who has yet offered himself. As a leader, and that the redoubtable Knight of the pitchfork may yet be recalled to sound the slogan, for they think like the followers of Roderick Dhu. "One blast upon his bugle born were worth a thousand men." It is also understood that the ne gotiations for tbe control of a certain daily newspaper are by no means off It is also understood, in passing, that many of the leaders of the battered batallions are emphatic in their op position to a march convention. It is also understood, via the grapevine, that the Knight of' the Pitchfork is behind the Wilborn Cotton Growers assocation movement, the scheme being in reality a political one and not an economic tueqssure. The cot ton growers are thus to be seduced into a compact organization which will be used for political purposes. If this be so, and every man will have to find out for himself the farmers will lose no time in stamping it out for their is a disposition to resent being used as dumb driven cattle for the benefit of politicians.

Judge Earnest Gary ope ned court here last Monday and without any delay, things became organized and ready for business. Solicitor Wilson and ~Stenographer Parrot were at their posts and the grand jury se lected Mr. W. E. Jenkinson as their foreman. His Honor Judge Gary after ex pressing his pleasure at being again in our midst proceeded to deliver one of the most magnificent charges we have ever listened at. The fol lowing is a synopsis: "Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: "In the outset of its association, with those who are to perform your time-honored and, I may say, inesti mable duty, it is a venerable custom for the court to give some brief ex pression in outlining and defining, as it were, your duties or service in the capacity of grand jurors. "In the outset, gentlemen, let me tell you that you are not here on pleasure bent nor for the purpose of transacting private business; you are here in the performance of a very high and responsible public duty. "The law of the land is, that no one charged with crime can be put to his proof, unless through the present ment of a grand jury, (except in time of war; in that case a court martial is instituted; or in some minor cases triable by magistrate.) He cannot be tried in a Court of General Sessions unless be be indicted by a grand jury. You see that through you the machinery of the court is put in mo tion. Until you act the court is pow erless to act. It is through you that a charge is brought against a citizen of South Carolina for violation of South 'arolina's laws. In the mak ing of that charge you are not the triers of a case,but you simply say that the State has furnished you with suf ficient proof to bring the party to trial; if so it is the duty of the grand jury to find a true bill. "Now, Mr. Foreman, your investi gation is ex patte; you have the State's side of the cases and deter mine whether there has been a prima facie case made out. If you find that a prima facie case has been made out it is your duty to find a true bill. "Now, in the performance of your duty I do not want it misunderstood; I want you to know and find that in the administration of justice at this term of the court, your agency and your actions is of vital importance to the community in which you live, so much so that the grand jury has been termed the right arm of the court. You are the right arm of the court, You touch the electric button that puts the machinery of this court in motion. Until you have acted the court is powerless. "If in the performance of that duty your efforts are paralytic to that ex tent, you paralyze the right arm of the court. To him then who would have and deserve the good opinion of his fellow-man, I need Dot dwell upon the wveighty character and binding obligation of that dual re sponsibility. "Let me remind you , gentlemen, that you are the representatives of a county whose past and present hia tory (with the exception of a brief interval) has reflected such glory to her name, in which all of her sons have a just pride, whether on account of the vicissitudes of fortune or from any cause they have crossed her bor ders, they have always cherished a pride in the glory of Clarendon. But while, gentlemen, we may indulge in a natural exultation in the renown of our country, and while we may justly boast of the beauty and symmetry of our laws, by indifference and inatten tion we may endanger the one and give reproach to the other. "The patriot has been eloquently reminded that feteinal vigilance is the price of liberty.' "It has also been said that the ser vices of the juror is the 'patriotism of peace-' "The object of law is to promote peace, happiness and good order to society. And if in the dealing with this enemy to society you are mis guided or improperly influenced by gy consideration other than is con templated by lawv and the spirit of .vour oath, you but sow a cancerous sore in this county, the result of which you cannot estimate. "The State provides you able coun sel in the person of your honorable solicitor. If in your intercourse with him you are in doubt upon any ques tion that may arise, you are wyelcome to have such information as the court can afford you. '-Entertaining the belief that when your duties are ended, I may con gratulate the public upon their value." His H~onor laid special strea~s upon the duty of a grand jury to put down lawlessness in every form, whether the statute violated meets with ap proval or not. The statutes must be respected. After charging the jury upon the bills of indictment handed out by the solicitor, the jury returned to their room. The followings bills were acted upon by the grand jury: Bob Wells, Henry~ McFaddin, William Stukes, Mose Thompson, and Ed Mack, bur glary and larceny in two cases; true bills. Willis Barfield and Ben Evans, larceny live stock; true bill. John Lewie, larceny live stock; true James E. McIntosh, malicious tres pass (killing dog); no bill. Joe Taylor and Jim Williams, high way robbery, larceny and assault and battery intent to kill; true bill. Jack Murray, assault and battery, intent to kill, carrying concealed weapons; true bills, two cases. Henry L. Johnson, obtaining goods under false pretenses; true bill. Wiliam IBarfield, resisting an offi cer; true bill. Frank Williams, assault and bat. tery, intent to kill, and carrying con cealed weapons; true bill. Augustus Deas, housebreaking, lar ceny and arson; true bill. The first case tried was against two young white men-Willis Barfield and Ben Evans; they were charged with hog stealing; convicted and sen tenced to six months each on the county ch aingang. The next case took up the time of the court all day yesterday and was finished this morning; it was the Faddin, William Stukes, M o s e Thompson and Ed Mack, charged with breaking into Mr. H. S. Briggs' cotton house and stealing cotton and cotton seed. The case was strongly defended by Rhame & Davis; ver dict, guilty. Up to the time of going to press the grand jury had not made their final presentment and the case against H. L. Johnson was being tried.

C., - Editor. Miss CARRIE LEGG, Workman, S. C., G. T. PUGH, Shiloh, S. C., Associate Editors. "A love for learning is oftentimes as good as learning itself." This sen timent is one that should appeal to the best feelings of every true, con scientious teacher. A teacher's aim, it seems to me, should be that his pupils have implanted within them selves such a desire, such a hunger ing for knowledge that they would know no obstacle to its acquirement. And the teacher himself must have this love for learning before he can hope to insp;re it in others, for it is impossible to impart that which we do not possess. So, then, teachers, if we have not this love, this enthusi asm, it would be well for us to exam ine ourselves; perhaps the elements are there, but need to be skilled by a rigid course of study, a course that would require some hard work. Let us first get our own minds re-awak ened, and then the sparkle and flash of the eye that comes from mastering difficulties will awaken in our pupils desires to do something along those lines where before they were perhaps despondent and tempted to give up. One thing is certain, enthusiasm be gets enthusiasm. Let us all, there fore, be alive and lively in our work, having our minds awake and active, so that we may implant in our pupils similar qualities. Try to keep before your pupils, not by frequent lectures, but by quiet, unobtrusive means, the fact that their after-lives depend' to a great extent upon the way they employ their time in school; that the pupil who shirks his school duties will be the man to dodge the perplexing questions that will come up for his solving in after life; that the pupil who is always tardy will become the man who, by force of habit, will always be too late to secure the best things of life; that the little boy who will cheat in any way, however unimportant, will be tempted to follow up the cheating business throughout life; that the little girl who is cross and peevish in play will become the woman whom no one will like by reason of her ill temper. Insist upon punctuality in all things, calling to mind the fact that to be punctual means to be there to the point and not anywhere on a straight line. President Grant once said that the best governed people were the least governed. Some teachers might well bear this in mind, before they arouse the spirit of rebelliousness in their pupils. The loudest barking dog is not al ways the most dangerous, and pupils soon learn that the loudest talking teacher is not the one that means the most every time. From an examination on the civil war: "The fight between the iron~ clade ships was of great use. they ilt their homes in the ground they doug caves in the ground and keep a wall between them." "Treaty of washington was a great general he was a great general of the union army." "Lincoln was sitting on a bacon box and a fellow named wilks sneaked up and shot him in the head." The above are exact copies. A Phszn. That we may have some dlefinite ed1 in view for each two weeks, we will make the suggestion that our col umn be devoted at each issue to somec special subject and that we discuss these topics in their order: School Government, Reading, Friday A fter noons, Writing, Mo~des of Punish ment, Arithasetic and School Enter. tainments. We hope that this pha~ wll meet with the approval of the teachers and that wve will have nu merous contributious from a11 parts of the county. A free expressioni of your opinion or experience wilt be welcomed. Our Association. It is to be hoped that when the public money gives out that the at tendance at our monthly meetings will not decrease. It is an alarming fact that less than one-eighth of our schools will continue as private schools; this, however, should not make our interest in our profession decline. As the terms are so pain fully short, all the niore efficient should the teachers be, to accomplish the greatest good in the shortest time. Our responsibility is great; we should improve every opportu nity. We mieet next Saturday, March 5th. Unkiformnity In Classifyin,7. Is it not possible for us to so class ify our schools that a pupil ogy go from~ one to. anothyt witbaut be~inmg put back or beyond his work done in former schools? We do not think it possible or practical that we should use the same text books or same methods of teaching, but we might agree on what grade of work should be done, with the average pupil, dur ing the first six or eight years of school life. Adopt a standard and work up to it. So many of our schools have no aim in view-they are working blin d ly along for possibly one year at a place and then going somewhere else and taking up some other work with out any definite end in view. If we coul adopt some nlan our nueful ness co:ld be greatly increased; we could then take up another teacher's work where he lelt it, and not have to begin arew every year. Everv teacher should leave with trustees of their schools a full outline o. work mapped out, and give pro motion cards to the pupils, thus en abling the successor to begin intelli gently.
