THE STORM A DE^ ELOPKk.
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.
