The policy of The Times has a] ways been to avoid hurting the feelings o' the innocent, this accounts for its re fusal to expose misfortune.

Our comnmunity was saddened on the morning of October 4th, when the death angel called from our midst our beloved friend. Mr E. B. Andrews. He was a good man, kind and loving to: rveryboty.

Ot. 18, 1913. The Newman's Branch 4cbool Trouble. There is nothing which will arouse i neighborhood more than a controversl over the location or the managemen of a sebool. The patrons of the New man's Branch school in Midway town ship appear to be having trouble at ar riving at an adjustment of their differ ences, and it is giving the county boar of education plenty of work to do. As we undet stand the trouble, it is o: long standing, and crops out afresh a. time progresses, both sides believe the3 are right and this has much to do wird Keeping them apart. The more recel aspect of the case shows that a consoli Jated school building was erected aboul two years ago, abolishing the smaller schools in the district. This bui.ding was burned last spring just before tnt .s ho) closea, theu a e.)iteOtion began w itave the sight changed to a point ou the south side of Newman's branch, a distance of about one half mile away. owing to the split in the community brousht about by various cases, the summer went by and nothing was done towards the buldiog ot the new consul tdated building; when it was realized that nothing could be done towards re uuiting the patrons of the senoul, the county board granted the re-opening of the same scheo: which had previous ly been abandoned with the proviso, they be granted only for this year. in the hope the people would get together and lay aside their differences in the meantime. One side has put up a third building, ,ad insta.led a teacher. upon a petitton aid r-presentat;ons the CouNty Boarn are.-d to recognize the ne-w school in ieuof former building wh ch was up the branLh anout a mile. Since then otber pet-itions and representations were submitt;ed to the Board tending vi show th.-re was no split in the school kown as the Evans-Bkaer school and a it bad been granted for this year, the new one should not take precedence over the Evans-Baker school. The entite controversy has given the Board much concern. as is eviaeoc d by the petitions and papers on tile in the ofil e of the County Superinten dent, together with the minutes from umerous meetings, all show the labor s 1 the Board to adjust the matter. The last, meeting was held in the grand jury room Monday, and the Board de cided to give them three schools this year until the matter can be better ad jx.ted. School Items and News. The editors of the two up-to date and progressive county newspapers have kindly thrown open their columns for any and all news appertaining to the shQols of Ciarendon count.y. This is a splendid offer and should be embraced by every teacher and trustee in the county. To this end all are invited to send in any fragment of school news. The item may be a small one, yet one uf interest to the many readers of the paper, and when dropped into place wito the others received, will nrke a very readable section..

The Enterprise school at DuRants is ander the able man gement of Miss Rto al Peak of Edgefileld courity. The people of that progresstve community, ealizing the necessity for a new school uilding. "got busy" this summer, and n almost an incredible short space of ime had erected a new and modern ebool building, equipped with cloak room and piazza. The building would ave cost several hundred dollars had it been built under contract. The ~ustantial citizens oif that locality uit it within their own means, .nut sking the county for an appropriation. The Big Branch school is being ably :nght byMiss Mallie Belue of Spar inburg county. She has a goodly umber of bright and in'.ellbgent chil Iren who should be able to no gooid ork. The nanjons of that community zave secured toatles to a one acre school ut, and are now raising money and erecting plans to build a modern chool building during the session. his is a good movement, and should e rushed for all that it is worth. The Silver school is for the third rear under the able and painstaking iare of Miss Emily Broad way of Pax le.

The installment plan as applied to the payment of a debt has never been proven either wise or expedient; but its use in newspaper correspondence is manifestly desirable. A letter from Summerton which at all fully repre seted her business, social, and relig ious life, would require more space than could be expected, and would necessitate on the part of the corres pondent a complete sacrificc of other employ ment. Therefore. let it not be expected by the Times' readers that they will find in a given letter any adequate treatment of more than one of these phases of activity. That they may know something of those who are "coming and going," we shall mention in this brief column some personal dots that have been brought to our at tention.

Williams was born in Darlington, S. C., October 25, 1846. He was the youngest son of Alonzo B. and Susan Wiuiams, who belonged to the family of David R Williams who was governor of South Carolina from 1814 to 1816 and who was the first man to put up a cotton midi in South Carolina. Alonzo was raised on the old Nelson plantation in what is now Clarendon county, S. C. This old plantation was owned during the war of the revolu tionby Captain Nelson of the Revolu tion, Marion's army. General Marion's horse-path ran through the place and As a boy Alonzo traveled it many times, his father owned itat this time and worked it in the old time South ern aristocratic style, the work being done entirely by slaves, he being a large slave owner. When the war commenced Alonzo wasoff at school preparing to enter college (By the way, at this school he was a schoolmate of Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina.) The war broke up the school, and just as soon as he was allowed to do so Alonzo en listed in the Southern cause, entering the army at the age of sixteen under Colonel Witherspoon in Captain Mc Night's Lomiany, 5th South Carolina Regiment, which was stationed on the coast of South Carolina. He remained Lbere five months and, being under age, was allowed to go at his own re luest to Virginia, wnere he could find more active service He joined the irmy of Northern Virginia.

The ankees were in s'ht of the tows, and hey got in between them and the town and kept them out until Lee and his wrmv could evacuate. "We fought, them ten to one that day," he said with witit-. '-Bratten's brigade came out at 12 o'clock that night, bringing out the ear of Lee's army. The most pathet ic thing that happened to me that day was while we were marching out of Petersburg. It was midnight, but the ladies were all out on the sidewalks when one of them came up to me and said, 'Are you going to leave us at the inercy of the yank,.:?' 'We have done All we can do,' I answered her; but I couldn't keep back the tears." (Re member'he was only a seventeen year old boy then,) "Then came the tug of war," he said. "The next morning we ate three crackers a piece. which was the last bread we tasted for six days and nights. We picked up and ate the grains of corn the horses would leave wbere they had eaten. We fought all day and retreating all night. Every time we came to a crowd of yankees there was a fight. The largest battle was that of Farmsville. From there we went to Appomattox. We had left Petersburg one Sunday night and closed the struggle the next Sunday nightwat Appomattox. Tbere we gota little raw beef to eat. There, too, we found ten Northerners to one South erner. Yes. I was at the surrender, but the yankees didn't get my gun. I was standing near a tree when we got orders to stop fighting, Lee had sur rendered. I broke my gun asinst a tree, saying, 'if I cant use it, the yanz kees shall not.' Appomattox we stay ed three days, during which I bought two ears of corn, paying one dollar a piece for them. and took a grain at a trime and crushed it between stones making hominy, which I bo led in a tin cup without any salt." But 0, was there ever such good hominy as that? One day he was out with comrades looking for beeves, and killing one, he stai-ted back to the camps with a large piece in his hands when he met the army chaplain, Dr. Bogs. Of course he expected to be sermonized on the awfulness of stealing, when to his sur prise, the chaplain said, 'Will you send me a niece of that when you get to camp?" The news got circulatel around Ap pomattox that Lee had surrendered under a tree and he saw men cutting pieces from that tree to take home. Tie fact is, Lee was sitting under a tree but was invited Into a building where the terms of surrender was made. He offered Grant his sword but Grant refused to accept it.

It was customary for the men who were too old for war to come to the camps with rations to peddle. and one nizht an old fellow's mule got loose and the mischievous boys commenced shouting all over the camps, "Here's your mule, here's your mule," until the old fellow was so confused he didn't know where his mule was. One -mart fellow wrote the song like this: "In August or September last Of that most bloody year just past, On Shenandoah's banks I stood And mused in melancholy mood When suddenly I heard a fool Yelling loudly, 'Here's your mule.' Here's your mule, 0 here's your mule; Yelling loudly, Here's your mule. Disgusted now I turned my back And to the camps I took my track; I got to camp 'twas dress parade, The line was formed, the orders read: The commander in chief his bow had made Parade dismissed the adjutant said. The men broke loose like boys in school Bellowing loudly, Here's your mule. Sickened now, I a furlough got. And to my home I took a trot; And every where, in stage orcar, Here's your mule, would greet my ear. Here's your mule, Here's your Mule, Here's your mule; 0 here's your mule.'
