Mr. Kdltor : ? I notice in 1 h ? t
r';W#ek'i? Chronicle thai some one
^::tlgoiDg hlrnBelf "Sine qua non"
to ho very much exercised
About the condition of our school
funds at present. It is h matter of
gtoat regret to mo that the writer
^Swab not better posted as to tlio ac
tual condition of our schools before
7 be undertook to criticise the nian
_ agexucot of them. Surely he. must
liuve been absent from our County
fcr some time, vegetating in some
lonely spot, where no intimation of
the doings in the outsido world
could roach him. When he returns,
? rumor, ho aays, in whispered
about that the^ iehools of hi* native
County are going1 back to tho cred
it ay ft to in. Ho fails to specify who
informed him of this condition of
affairs, oi where the schools are to
be found that art- going to overrun j
their apportionment. I shall be j
glad to receive information ou thin
point, nud will consider myself un
der lasting obligations t.o ''Sine qua
non" for the knowledge
Lot N i in rest assured that not
, under my administration will the
?afchools of Kershaw County bo run
$
ou the credit system, however ma
ny rumor? there may be to that ef
fect, 1 can also safely nay that,
never again can our schools be run
-is they once were, aa we cannot le
gally use more than the taico for
, one year at the time.
Am to the statement that the
schools were being put upon a cash
basin When I took charge m! the of
iloe, and that I am entitled to ered*
it for having completed the work,
1 wi*h lo submit a few figures tak
en from the records in the ofllce.
The total school fund for 18 92,
'03 was $10,901 04, of this amount
(including Special in No. 1)
$<3,960.95 was caah, of tins dilFer
enco *932.54, was carrlod forwaid
an a c.ash balance, while the bal
ance of $0, 070.55 was taught out
and the claims discounted.
Iti lt?i*d the cash balance <?f
*932.54 whh used with the Special
tax of $3,(150.00 and tho balance of
the school funds $0,560.00 was
taught on tho credit plan. The
nirount carried forward this year
was not any greater than in 1893,
while two districts Nos. ] and 4
overdrew ovon tho'credit apportion
tucnt. Affairs Were in even a wr.rao
atate in 1895 and 1896, as in 1895,
districts No's I, 4, 7 and 10 spent
all tho cash nnU credit and then
overdrew tho whole account to a
considerable amount while In 1890
? tho accounts were overdrawn in
No's 1 and 2. ^
When I took charge of t ho oftltjcj
irt'.Dco-l^OC, t found that up to
that date there bad been *4, MO
worth of ^oradU claims issued. I
? immediately took steps to stop this,
and declined to issue any more
credit, claims after the closing of
the scholastic year. . On July 1st,
181)7, whon I made the apportion
ment I declined to make any credit
apportionment and only apportion
cd such funds ae would he avail

deducting tho $4,030, ^outstanding

"somewhat short of funds for one

X Vcxetl Question.
It seems that un ordinate has
been passed ngainst spitting ??n tl o
sidewalks. This ordinance has giv
(>n rise to a vexed lega 1 question. It
is held by some of our citizens that
if a man ettuul'i on the uidcwalk and
expectorates with a scientific precis
ion, and land?) bis spittle in tho ditch
that this would be a violation ot the
ordinance, inasmuch as expectorat
ing has a definite begitTT)ing and end
ing. 'l'o illustrate, a man wishing
to rid himself of a quid of tobacco
and being an expert In all that per

notice is violated becouse the man in

act of expectorc ion on the sidowalk
Others of our <'i t i 7;r n s will; Q J??(M
who** of reason hold that tho ordi

To My Friends & Patrons:

rhiR is the beginning of another, season with cotton at 4 and
5 cents per pound. This means cheap goods or no sale. 1
have got the goods and they havegof\to Be sold and as I have
always said I never allow any ???>? toAuudersell mo, the money
is what I want and that I anrv going to have if you c\me in my
store. I have u big stock as usual, fresh and nice; never have
any old stale stock. ?
FRESH GOODS
coming in every day. I went in business in 1894 when cotton
was about the same prices it 16 now and I am still here doing
my share; some predicted that I would not pull 4 through that
season. sLow priced cotton don't frighten mc? I have gone
through a hotter battle than this. I sold my goods for such
small profits, I find that it pays to make small profits and quick
sales. I have kept it up and don't want to change it. j will
say tp thoye who have stores in the country to come in and I
will divide the profits with you as haye always dope. Some
business houses may tell you they carry a larger stock than 1
do, you can say to them you get more for a dollar
AT HINSON'S
than you get from them, it vndkesbul little difference to you
how much stock they carry. What you want is all you can'
get for your money. I ain satisfied witj^ the^jpaat and I know
I will be with the future for I am working just as hard for youi
trade as I ever did. Coniu on you will find me at the .same
place. Yours Respectfully,
D. E. HINSON.
