The summer schools for teachers are simply a waste of money, and we hope to see very few held in the State this year. One of the dirtiest campaigns that has ever been carried on against any man in . v South Carolina is now being indulged in by some newspapers against Senator Mc- ] Laurin. We believe that every man and newspaper has a right to an opinion, and if they differ from us we see no reason to judge them harshly. But that newspapers should be guilty of such methods as are now being practiced hy some, makes us ashamed for the fraternity. They see they can't defeat McLaurin by argument, and are trying misrepresentation and insinuation. While we are indeed glad to see our people taking so much interest in public { improvements, good roads, etc., we would I be simply delighted if they would turn k their attention to the erecting of a new c/?hnrki hnildinff F.verv one will o- ? admit that the present building is totally inadequate for the needs of the school, Fx besides being very uncomfortable and in g^. bad condition generally. If we expect the town to grow and prosper, we must be ready to spend money for public necessities, and a new school building certainly comes under this head. Be BP. We sincerely trust that every member r of the new city council has made up his k mind to make a record while in charge of town affairs?not a record in regard to t trying to leave a comfortable balance in tlie town treasury when their term of office expires, but a record of unsurpassed public improvement. It is indeed a fact X that there are many improvements needed < here?in fact some are real necessities? and we do hope that council is going to give them to us. We need better streets, we need better sidewalks, we need better street, lights, we need a better system of drainage with terra cotta pipe and covfe ered ditches, as well as many other things. These will suffice for the present, but others can be mentioned some other time. There is absolutely no excuse for council not improving the streets, sidewalks, f liotita fnr mmiCT is in the town r-t_ ? treasury to pay for it. There is a considerable amount of money on hand now, and our officials should remember that it L is not their's to hoard, but it belongs to _j the people of the town who paid it in, and it should be spent for their benefit, for improvements which they need and want. ttraded School Notes. The Bamberg graded school, after an eight and a half months' session, will close next Friday. There will be no closing exercises. In the opinion of the teachers, it is best to give the whole time and attention of the children to their regular work, besides many other hindrances to a successful entertainment, the building is not suited fbra public gathering. With a suitable building, properly equipped, the teachers could guarantee a very fine entertainment at the close of school. Bamberg has a graded school, however, that her people can justly be proud of. The work done is on a par with that of any similar school in the State. With her excellent corps of teachers, and with such bright girls and boys, the work cannot but be of a high character. The teachers are trained in their work, and are endowed with that excellent attribute "^?^called common sense, which enables the work to go on without friction. A school properly taught and managed is worth a great deal to a community. As long as things run smoothly no notice is taken . and very little credit is given; it is wh^n ' Ptrouble comes that the public attention is Kracted, and censure is sure to follow. The teachers are not given to boasting, : UUt fcLTC fOUlCUl IU icatu, auu ict tuv preciative patrons judge of their work During the past session 20S pupils have been enrolled. While this number is not npidh larger than that of last year, yet ?the daily attendance has been far ahead of last session. During some months it was 190, and the school closes with 172 in attendance, which is 100 more than last May, when tuition was charged. <The teachers are greatly encouraged when their classes are full up to the close j^^of school.

AYaycross, Ga., May 13.?Rev. Sam P. Jones was seen by the Morning News correspondent in his room at the home of Col. AY. AY. Sharpe, on Gilmore street, [where he is being entertained during his | stay in AYaycross. He leaves today for ! Savannah. He received your reporter cordially and thanked him and The News for the true reports of his meetings sent in from here. "You have been fair and impartial," said he, "and I thank you." "I am charmed with AA'aycross," said Mr. Jones, "and with her clever people. This town and \ aldosta i regard as me most vigorous growing towns in the State. They are rivals because of their relation to each other, and the growth of one is an inspiration to the other." His analysis of Dr. Broughton is this: "He weighs only 145 pounds?140 pounds of that is backbone and the other five pounds is hair." "Yes, nearly everybody iu your beautiful city are members of the church," said the evangelist. "The two Methodist churches have 110 members, and the denominations nearly 1,000, so that the average population is nearly all in the church; but the Methodists fall from grace, the Baptists backslide, and Presbyterians suffer from a mixtry of both, while the Episcopalians say but little about their condition; and I reckon the least said the better it will be for them, though the finest type of Christians I ever saw were Episcopalians." When asked about the Savannah meeting and the stir caused there by his anticipated visit next week, Mr. Jones smiled and said: "Yes. The Waycross meeting seems to be stirring Savannah about as much as it is Waycross. The Morning News has given fair reports 5f our services, but there is another paper down there?I forget its name?that seems already to have hydrophobia. Its own reports of what I say seem to be producing the dire disease that it's suffering with. "One of the pastors from Savannah ( came yesterday evening to see me and re- 1 | port the condition of things. The devil and his gang are circulating pamphlets 1 and writing nom de plume articles to ' j J- i r T | snow me up auu uo me up inriuie x get ! there. "No doubt many of the inhabitants of ! that city of Wings and Angels regard me as a monster and a mountebank and a blackguard. Gamblers, law-breaking ; ! whiskey dealers, politicians and some of 1 the officials, regard my promised visit to I Savannah as a scourge, worse than cholera or the bubonic plague. Some of them propose to show me up to the world. They seem ignorant of the fact that my life is an open book, and has been for 1 thirty years. A man's reputation may 1 suffer for a time at the hands of the dcrvishees and devils, but his character is impervious to their attacks, as the shining ' sun is impervious to fogs and clouds that play and dance under his burning rays. THE TROUBLE WITH SAVANNAH. "When a mule has the colic lie rolls and wallows and blows; there's some- 1 thing ailing those fellows over at Sa- 1 vannah; they need a doctor, and I am a champion mule doctor?I hardly ever lose a case. Some are mad, some are scared, and the saints are troubled. They 1 just don't like some things that I have 1 said, or I am reported as having said, 1 here in Waycross. There's talk of 'drum- 1 ming me out of townsome say he ought * to be killed, others say he ought to be ( horse whipped, but when the convention 1 gets down to business it seems that they [ can find nobody that will serve on the 1 whipping committee, or the killing committee, and I am sure they won't drum 1 me out of town, because I've got the ' drums in my possession, and won't loan * them to'em; I'm going to drum them out, see if I don't. * "I was invited to Savannah by the Min- ^ isterial Association. They have built a | large, commodious tabernacle in the park 1 extension of the city, and I have agreed to go to that city and preach, and God willing I shall go, in spite of all the whis- '] key dealers, gamblers and drunkards in f Savannah, or all the devils in hell. * HIS ONLY OBJECT. "So far as I am concerned, I have but one object in view, the glory of God and thcfealvation of sinners. But sometimes , wjhen I am bear hunting I turn aside and a shoot a skunk and occasionally turn a 1 rabbit over in the grass at the crack of ray gun, but that is merely incidental?I a am after bear on the hunt. c "This much I affirm without the slight- | est fear of contradiction anywhere: that t in all the cities and towns where I have 1 worked for thirty years, I have had the I earnest prayers and co-operation of the 1 purest, best women, and the noblest, t best men, and this class of people every- j where have stayed by me and my work and never uttered a criticism. "In no city have I ever had the co- ^ operation of the saloon keepers, brewers, c iramblers, perjured officials , hypocrites, v strumpets, ur so-called society people; this fact is worth something to me. a When I see in a town, like Waycross. I thousands sitting under my voice with ^ faces that show their appreciation and ? handshakes that are but the expressions of their good will, and then hear on the b outside that those who run blind tigers ? and the ecclesiastical bigots arc lined up ^ against me, then I say the maledictions I of the bad is better proof of right than the praises and co-operation of the good, b UI am fifty-four years old, nearly. c Since I was 24 years of age I have studied ji to know what is best for my country, for u my town, for my home, for myself, and I v have championed thiugs that I believe j, are acceptable, and that will bless hummanity, and nowhere at no time have ^ I ever denounced anything but that which hurts and harms, dooms and c damns humanity." tl Then after a pause, he said: LET SAVANNAH LINE UP. ^ "Let Savannah line up?the two sides I u mean?all who are for God and home and 11 right on one side, and the other gang line c up on the other side. It is worth something to line the crowds up in the city, n I will not be ashamed of the crowd that j11 lines up on my side, but mark mv words, j ^ in the crowd that's lined up against me ' n you will find saloon keepers, gamblers; j o drunkards, etc., and if those who believe . a they are for the good and for the right, j who line up on that side with them, if they are not ashamed of the tail end of t; their crowd, then the sense of shame has t perished forever. "They say I am not a decent preacher ?weli, Savannah is full of de.cent preach- 0 ejrSj and Savannah is not a half a hjilp V from hell, if there's anything in reports, and decent preachers can be lied on in their reports. "1 shall go to Savannah with naught in my heart against any one. I shall preach the truth as I see it and believe it, trusting in God and His divine support to guide me. I will do my best, and leave results with Him before whom we shall all stand in the tinal judgment." what he says of thf. elks. Mr. Jones was asked what he had to say in regard to the resolutions passed by the Elks of Savannah Tuesday night. He said: "You may say that I am the guest of an Elk and have met several here and they indorse what I have said about the Elks. "The Elks of Waycross have not had a meeting in six months, so I am told, and this being a dry town, it is impossible to keep an Elk lodge alive here. "An Elk that don't drink is as much out of place in his lodge as a Baptist claiming fellowship with his brethren who says he don't believe in close communion and immersion. "An Elk lodge that don't have beer in it would be as hard to find as to locate a woman who didn't own a looking glass. Women will have mirrors and Elks will have beer. The fact that the saloonkeepers and liquor dealers make up a large part of the Elk membership convinces me that if you want to stay sober you had better stay out of that gang. "If the Elks will take the temperance pledge, I'll apologize for what I've said. If the Elks will quit gettingElky I'll quit saying anything against them." The Doctor and Editor. The doctor from Algonia said that newspapers are run for revenue only. What in thunder do doctors run for, anyway ? Do they run for glory ? One good healthy doctor's bill will run his office six months. An editor works half a day for $3 with an investment of $3,000; a doctor looks wise and works ten minutes for $2 with an investment of three cents for catnip and a pill box that cost $1.37. A doctor goes to college for three years, ?o-nrl q ctrinnr nf words thfi ^Cld 4.1 UipiV/lIlU UUU l? wv? *u^ .. devil himself cannot pronounce, cultivates a look of gravity that he pawns off for wisdom, gets a box of pills, a cayuse and a meat saw, and sticks out his shingle, a full fledged doctor. He will then doctor you until you die, at a stipulated price per visit, and puts them in as thick as your pocketbook will permit. An editor never gets his education finished; he learns as long as he lives, and studies all his life. He eats bran mash and liver, he takes his pay in hams and turnips, and keeps the doctor in town by refraining from printing the truth about him. We would like to live in Algonia and run a newspaper about six months and see if the doctor would change his mind about our "running a newspaper for revenue only." If we didn't get some glory out of it we would agree to take one dose of his pills, after saying our prayers. If the editor makes a mistake he has to apologize for it; but the doctor buries it. If we make one there is a lawsuit, tall swearing, and a smell of sulphur; but if n.? tlipre is ft funeral. L 1 i U UULbVl luuuvc v/**v ?.Mw? ? ?- ? ?? j cut flowers, and a smell of varnish. The doctor can use a word a foot long; but if the editor uses it he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another man's wife he will charge for the visit. If the editor calls on another man's wife he gets a charge of buckshot. Any medical college can make a doctor. You can't make an editor. He has to be born one. When a ioctor gets drunk it is a case of "overcome bv heatif he dies it is heart failure. When an editor gets drunk it is a case of top much booze, and if he dies it is a case of delirium tremens. The editor works to keep from starving, vhile the doctor works to ward off the rout. The editor helps men to live better, ind the doctor assists them to die easy. 1 The doctor pulls a sick man's leg, the ; editor is glad if he collects his bills at all. < Revenue only!

Not long since a domestic in he employ of a prominent family mine into the store in great haste with i prescription which called ^for two grains of morphine in two ounces of iqua pura?that is. distilled water?the tccompanying direction reading, 'A easpoonful every hour until the pain 3 allayed.' The patient for whom it .vas intended was the head of the famly. who was suffering from a severe attack of nervous neuralgia. ".Now, it so happened that the iamlv physician who had written the preicription was behind tfcfc counter when he messenger arrived, having dropped n, as was his wont, on the way to his )ffice. While I was putting up the prescription we chatted and laughed and oked and passed the time of day as )uly professional men are capable of loing. 1 filled the bottle, corked It carefully and labeled it properly, and ,vhen the retreating form of the donestic had disappeared out of the store door returned to my companionible physician visitor. As I did so I saw to my amazement the two grains >f morphine reposing upon the prescription scales. " 'Doctor,' I ejaculated, 'I've given :hat girl nothing but distilled water. L'he morphine is here; look at it. WTbat shall 1 do?' "'Do?' he replied,,with admirable sang froid. 'Do? Why, nothing at all. ['11 wager you that the aqua pura will vork as well without the opiate as vith it.' " 'Agreed,' said I. And do you know," concluded the pharmacist, "the doctor vas right, and the patient with the tervous neuralgia?an exceptionally inelligent and college bred man?was sleeping as peacefully as a babe after ;he second dose of the 'mixture.'
