The building committee, after diligent I work, found that they could not get the 1 I building erected according to the plans < v and specifications prepared, for anything 1 ? like the amount of money at their command. The architect was instructed as i to how much money could be spent on , the house, and he was supposed to draw his plans accordingly, but no contractor's ; bid was low enough. The committee (r will now turn back to the architect the plans and specifications, and new ones . will have to be prepared in order to come within the money limit. This will be done as soon as possible. m/ .. . See Jones Bros, when you want to buy live stock or vehicles. In patronizing our advertisers, kindly say that you saw the advertisement in this paper.

A Sensational Case. Magistrate Lightsej' had before his :ourt last Monday rather a sensational ;nd unique case. It was against Andrew leunelt, colored, charged with assault .nd battery with intent to kill and carryug concealed weapons. The trouble ;rew out of the funeValiziug of his eldest on, who died last week. This trial was >nly the preliminary hearing, and the est information we can gather is that lennett, after the death of his son, went o some of the deacons of the negro Bapist church at Midway aud obtained permission to have funeral services over the ody conducted in that church, the boy eing a member of the Sunday-school and is mother a member of the church. The ermission was given and the church icely cleaned up by one of the deacons, negro named Whittemore. Before the nneral was to take place, however, Whitemore was informed that some of the eacons or other officials of the church bjected to holding the funeral in the ' hurch. He therefore went to prevent sing the building for this purpose, but x efore he arrived, the funeral procession ritli the body was already tn the church, t t is said that he attempted to take the fa offin containing the body out of the uildiug and in consequence he and Benett got into a difficulty, in which Whit- 0 jmore claims that Bennett attacked bim p rith a pistol. s Both sides were represented by attoreys, and Magistrate Lightsey, in rendermg bis decision, said it looked like as if butting a man out of the church was like ryingto shut him out of heaven. Both u e and the attorneys spoke of the affair f, 3 being most unfortunate. The magis- f, rate decided not to send the case up to me Circuit court, but eliminated the g lt?rop r?f intent, to kill and narrvinf? con- <a ealed weapons, thus making the charge case of assault and battery and one with- b i his jurisdiction. If the prosecution ^ ushes this charge, the case will be heard & y him at some future day. ? d An Important Matter. b A few days ago Col. Jno. F. Folk 'rote Governor D. C. Heyward of the irge number of cases of hemorrhagic sver in the lower part of this and the J pper part of Colleton county, asking s lat he get if possible the State and Unit- n 3 States authorities to make an investi- a ation and see if the conditions could not tl e ameliorated. Governor Heyward, al- v 'ays mindful of the welfare of the people, u t once instrncted Dr. James Evans, of ie State board of health, to come down I nd make an investigation, writing Col. a 'oik that he knew of no method to enlist leaidof the United States authorities, a Ve commend the action of Col. Folk and a ae Governor in takingthis matter up. If u >r. Evaus cau ascertain the cause and re- i: ommend a preventative, it will be a God d &nd to that community. If he should v ecommend drainage, it would be well 3 3r the members of the legislature from b !olleton and Bamberg to take the matter t p at the next session"and enlist the sup- a ort of the State in this most important c rork. 3 ?' b New Advertisements.

But our school rill begin this morning (Monday) with Ir. G. W. Hughes as principal. I think ie is large enough to hold all the malaria hat Clear Pond affords. It is a great dvantage to be big enough to hold all ?ur troubles. Much success to Mr. Hughes, iay God ever be with him is the wish of lis . Friend. Teachers' Trials. Teachers early learn to swallow with oiirt n?t.ienee the nill of abuse Plotted to them. They even fatten and hrive on it and "grin and endure" while ligesting every bit of censure gratefully ?) sent thein by patrons. "Ma says you tad no right to keep John in; he was sick," vas the pleasant greeting a refined woman eceived lately from a fond mother. Sendug messages by children is a very denoralizing practice, ruins the child, and s detrimental to the school. "Why are ou late?" is often asked of a child. "Proessor kept me in. I knew my lesson but he rest of the class did not and he kept ne too." Sensible mothers believe this tatement and join in with the chili to iriticise the teacher. A lecturer on educaiou said once: "The three classes of :hildren dreaded by teachers are: the >aby of the family, the only child and a :hild raised by a grandmother. Why?" le continued, "because they are seldom aught obedience at home and when the eacher inaugurates discipline in order to each him something, war is brought ou md the fond mother flies into a passion >f abuse in which the innocent teacher suffers an attack made on his character ind reputation as au instructor." Morals can be taught to a certain extent it school, but if the foundation is not laid ivhen the subject kneels at his mother's lap, if discipline and respect for elders ire not engendered in the tender nature, Jon't abuse the teacher for not performing a miracle. ' ' i i 1 11 1 A cuua snouia never ueauoweu to uc?i i conversation between parents in regard to the pros and cons of government. Childish proclivities are to misinterpret and misrepresent constructions and statements. Parents who allow their daughters to receive company, go ou all manner of frolics and be escorted around by fellows should not expect very much progress to be made by their "young hopefuls," for boys and books do not mix any better in a girl's head than oil and water do iu a vessel. Boys who have put on long pants and suspenders and are feeling and watching and scraping for the first signs of a moustache are in a poor condition to study unless they are kept off the streets at night and made to obey father. A great big reform will have to come before the schools of today can be fitted for the higher education teachers are striving to inaugurate. And mothers are the prime factors in bringing about such a reform. M. O. Lanier. ad Hon CGIES, lis part of the coun ?^^^PP?^poap BranchyiHe Brevities.
