Last Wednesday Capt. J. C. Rol

much credit to himself and entire

his .earnest eft'orts and good man
ngemofit much of tho good condition
of the county, as shown by the .settle
ment With tho Comptroller, is due.
Several school districts last year
were run on a cash basis ami Capt.

noxt year. The arduous duties of
the odleo have been performed by
Capt. Rollings in a highly creditable
/ manner, lie comes out of tho oflice
with flying colors and receives the
"well done thou good and faithful
servant." 'Tho name of Capt. Rol

of our very best oflicers.
Mr. Hough, Capt. Rolling's suc
cessor, is one of Kershaw County's
very best men, and much may 1m
expected of him. Long1' life and
prosperity to him !

Thurmond. I nftfyerf on. Harris |

to give him hid opinion of him aiid
ho did givo it. I could not cntch
nil thftt ho said. Thurmond asked
iiiiu what ho mount. Harris said :
"You are a 1 < ? .v dirty scoundrel,"
Thurmond then pulled his pistol
nnd fired./' Nothing (Is* was said.
Hnirtw put his right linnd to his

walk. llo got down in the ditch
near the Mdowalk. Hams wiih
carried to my house nnd ox pi rod
immediately, lie could not have
been alive more than five minutes
aftel' he will shot. I saw several
things removed from his poison, a
watch, Joosu change, knife and
pocket hook with twenty-live dol
lars in it, I did not see any pistol
I examined hid grip and clothing.
I Ha w Thurmond when he lired the
.shot fiom thy door, If Harris had
a pistol, I could have seen It. 1 did
not. hear Harris make any threat*.
Mrs. Annie Ahhott, sworn, says:
I wan at the lOdjpdh.ld Hotel and
was standing at the end window
and could aec to the corner. I saw
Harris when ho was coming down
the path. JIo did not slop until
he passed the nlllce, a little Illicit
building, lie turned about half
way round, put his hand bafik of
him and threw lis coat back. I
saw him like a pistol from bin
pocket and when hu pulled the pis
tol from hia pocket, he put it up in,
front of him before ho wiis shot.tf
After he was shot lie put it bae,(pj
in his pockct. Ho then stepped
i do w u a little slant. I thought t hat )
la; shot himself. He stooped down
by a trie and felt round iike he
whs looking for something. 1
watched him until he began to fall
ovet, They picked him up and
can ied him oil'.
Dr. l'\ W. 1*. Uutler, sworn, snyn :
1 am a practicing physician and

of Willis Harris. I found a gun
shot wound midway between the
? wo nipples on the breast bone,
about three inches above the pit
of the stomacu and about seven
inches down the breast bone. Ii
was sufficient to cause death. I
found no other bruises on the body.
U. T. Scurry sworn, says: 1

conditions aro cnlin-ly dill'crei.t |
und (It- m in; (I a ii organization and J
methods ad a pled to the wants of |
the con ii ty school. A country
school cannot ho graded like the'
oily school ; it cannot he managed
like lhA city school, nor cnu it fol
low plans and schedules adapted to
lo city graded school. Whore the
schools of. the country are placed
under tin.' same management as
those of the city, the courses of
study and the methods of discip
line cannot lie identical. 'I he
country school must have a sys
tem adapted to the conditions of
rural life. It cannot succeed by
imltulion.
The text-books used in our
country schools nre, us h rule,
identical with those used in the
.city schools. Arithmetic is taught
in the country school iih it is in the
city school; it in the arithmetic of
commercial life, and emphasizes
i, hi.se transactions and processes
that find application chiefly or en
tirely in urban lift*. Buying and
selling, j?o i rentage, inlerest and
discount, slocks, bonds and broker
age, partnership and exchange, are
topics whose complete deyelopment
and application are found in the
city.. (Jcography is largely the
