Pro fessor Farrow, made application to 1 Improvement Association for i ate for a membership blank In be half of his scbbol, the fall was far There Is certainly food for tfcoufht in the list of schools, pub lished last week la this paper, which took prises offered by the the greatest material Improvement aaade (a a given time. First, there la the fact that one Colleton school, the Hendersonville High school, sue eeddad In securing a first class prise, one hundred dollars. And second. It appears that not another school of the many In the county came In for even a flfty-dollar prise Was this because they tried hod failed, or was It rather that they neglected their opportunltfee, and did not tatter the racef I fear that the latter Is more nearly cor rect. / What Is the secret of the success of the Hendersonville school? It Is Initiative, the desire and the attempt to del things —qualities '•’very school management ought to possess. For never to attempt ae?- Jtblhg Js the worst klrd which Is absolute end unsl'.evlated. When- elther as Individuals or as la- tttutlons, deliberately place our selves on the side of the slothful and nnprogressive, our punishmeK Is sure. We not only lose that Which we might have won. but we lose that Which we must have won, For every effort at self-lra-t provement is, and must be. “Its own exceeding great. reward.” and the result Is clear ga|n when consider ed In Itself, whether It “looms !'-~ge“ compared with others, or rot. It is Iasi ness, it is perhaps aelftshaesa, which makes us fold our hands when such work Is going forward. Why could not other Colleton schools have won prises f Simply because they htd not the faith aM the energy to try for a prise. They let the dosen-and-one object ions keep them qut. And the Hen- advanoed, leaving. It might be sup posed, but short, even If not In sufficient time for improvement of any kibd to be effected. The result sht^Ws that we do not need ary other advantage half e<s much as we Peed the willingness to act prompt ly and, to work hopefully. And now, leaving the fact, what of the new year? While we are planning to better many^thli-g*. wh not the teachers and trustees of our schools plsn for the • better ment of the high and holy trust which providence placed In their hands?

Misses Maude and Ambrosia Yarn, of Hendersonville, and Miss Lethard Clinton, of York- vllle was quite a success. There was a large number of the young people present, who amused themselves by playing different games, until late when candles of different kirds were served by hostess. They also bed the pleasure of en joying some very nice music, ren dered. by Misses Idalee Wren and Maude Vara. All departed for their homes about 10: SO o’clock, feeling that It wge good for them, that they had beer there and hoping to have the pleasure of enjoying themselves as pleasantly again In the nee* future.

It has been contended that the average Juror often permitted his sympathic foe th# defendant or hia family to outwoigh the "law and the evi dence.” I But how do tho complaints against tho failure of juries to ex- j act punishment of criminals square with gubernatorial action which 1m this pn M there were dosens. score#, hat community only at our store—The dreda of convicts in tho penitentiary Rexall Store. The WaJterboro Drag who should not have been there? Company. Investigate the Cowrie. When in this little State, where the sympathies of Juries are tender, the gubernatorial prerogative in the matter of clemency la exercised $17 times In something lees than on* yeqr, and when lr> a batch of thir ty pardons sad paroles, eleven life term prisoners who would have beta hanged except for the “recommends- tloa to morcy” by tho Juries, and seven other convicted man slayers sr set at liberty, th* time appears to have com* for an trwestigatlon of our courts, and an inquiry into tho methods of Juries that convict white men pf terrible crimes, dooming them to life imprisonment at hard labor, when those men are deserv ing of freedom. UdUI this year the Inference has not been that the laws against mur der, arson, or burglra-are too se vere. Until this y&r none has In timated, |a word or deed, that Bout Carolina juries are harsh lh their verdicts. Indeed, for years there has been complaint that la tho sys tem here employed the defendant qr hie relatives or lawyers were too near, too acoeaelhfa to the juror and Its human sympathies, hid for that Aad when eleven life prisoners— some confined no longer than a yea —and seven additional manslayers are released on one day, what an Indictment against th* juries and judges.—Columbia Record.
