The rtorm that t*r <ay* «so played ioch havoc la lower South Carolina was disastrous in many respects, bat there are some les sons learned that will, Jo a larpt measure, offset the damage done. The lessons are those which reveal stern manhood and determination. For 0 planter to see his year’s work destroyed, and himself almost pau perised as a consequence, and then resolutely turn his face to the fu ture with a determination to wrest success from his tfforts despite the havoc wrought, is an evidence of a hero spirit. The way in which thes unfortunate planters, and those who staked their all on rice seem to be the most bnfortunhte, meek this erlsis in their business, will show the kind of stuff of which they are made. Crippled*? Yes. Determin ed? Yes. Give up? No. Dls- ewuraged*? No. This is manhood. Isn't It worth the storm to dewel- ep the kind of stuff in s man that will charge a fortification in the fane of death* Yes. but different, te that this battle must be fought put in solitude. No mania! music nor eadtement of battle—only a grim determination and a bull dog tenacity. But this spirit will- via anywhere, and nowhere is It more often mot with than in the farmer who Is a prey U> so many o destroying influences and agencies. The effairs of the school a nomically sdministered, snA are a uOinbev of good buslaess oa the hoard of trustees, who are gir!i-r much time and thought to the matter. As we nnderstsnd it the revenue in sight for running this school smounts to M04S.41. There is hi overdraft of fltl7.fi. The estimat ed expenditures for tbs current year are $447(.00. This leaves a deficiency of 91747.4S. This most bn raised tn some manner. The en largement of tire district with the increased amount of taxable proper ty would materially reduce this amount, bnt we are afraid this will not be available for this year. An other mill could be levied, but there is no -time for this to be done this term, so the trustees hswe done the only thing left for them to do, and that is to supplement the fund with an Incidental fee of 92 per pu pil for the whites, and 91 for the negro. This fee should bring in shout $700, which will be of great help to the trustees in making both ends meet. We trust there will (§ be no opposition on the part of any one to paying this small e.mount! It is all the trustees are asking of the patrons and certainly this Is lit tle enough. In the aggregate the fund thus realised will aid mater ially. I.et the school not be crippled. Relief will come after this term. O'Riley is coming. OtRiU) Is coming. • • • filoicltor John H Peurlfoy went to Reaufort Sunday. • • • O Riley Is coming.
