DeCamp, Manager. doing it, and the teacher who is no bigger than a method—be that method his own or another’s—is a sorry excuse, a miserable makeshift, to be employed only when real live men and women are not in the mar ket. THE SI MMER SCHOOl.S. Superintendent McMahan by au thority of the State is spending any where from five to fifteen thousand dollars on summer schools for teach ers. The object of these schools is to teach the teachers how to teach the primary branches of reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, and history. There is one. we believe, established in every county presided over by men and women suppos' d to be capable of imparting new and improved method-' id instruction to the teacher?- and of showing many tricks and turns of , in which (lie ordinary teacher is -up- posed to be totally ignorant.

The session holds for a u; intlj or six weeks, and when it closes, the teachers are supposed to ! go back to their work with new ideas ; and inspiration enough to keep them going until the time shall come for them to attend the summer school NOTES ANI> COMMENT^ The very latest news from China makes it certain tiiat the (jerman Minister, llaron Von Ketteler. has been butchered by the Chinese Hox- ers, and it is highly probable that every foreigner in Pekin has been killed. This is bad—exceedingly bud—and the beginning of bloody times. Foreign troops to the num ber of :K),000 or more are marching towards Pekin, and a terrible penalty will be exacted of the murderous Chi nese. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ What if Colonel Hoyt did once ad vocate high license, though we be lieve it is pretty well proven that he did not?

Hut there are some phases of the conditions which are fair subjects for criticism. In the first place, if the county teachers have done their full duty in the common schools during the year, they need their vacation for rest and recuperation, and we doubt if many of them are in the proper mental and physical condition to get the full ben efit of the summer school. This, however, is a doubt which would apply only to those who have been constantly employed during the pre ceding nine or ten months. There are some inconsistencies in the general situation concerning which we have a word to say. These teachers have all been before examin ing boards who have given them cer tificates of competency, and on the strength of these certificates the trustees have given them positions in the public -schools. Now, it is found that Duty are in serious need of instruction themselves, and the Ftate employs men and women to go around in the summer, assemble them in schools, and impart to them the instruction which they them selves have been declared by compe tent authority to be able to impart to the children. In other words, the State hires teachers for those who have been declared by State authori ties to be already qualified to tench. It secins to us that there is a screw loose here. It may be claimed that a!! compe- i Tency i.- comparative and susceptible of improv, merit, and that the obj. et of these is to stimulate and improve the quniilicatiotis v. teachers aiready p siess, reach the highe t l gr •• of attainable. Then whvn nose the -hnuiurd of a fine character for sobriety, honesty, and industry. I nder such circum stances the court could have very well alfordcd to give him an acquittal. Now, if Wesson go home and live with the woman as her husband again, he will forfeit the sympathy and approval which have been be stowed upon him in his trouble. Many of the large cities of the country, both North and South, are finding it difficult to maintain a sat isfactory water supply. Wo note that most of them are being compell ed to resort to the meter system, and the rest will soon follow. It is just what we have heretofore recommend ed to the people of Gaffney, and they had as well be flunking about it. It is a palpable fact that our water works are taxed to their utmost ca pacity, and something will soon have to he done to relieve the situation. Either meters must be put in or the pumping power increased, or both. We believe, however, that a large portion of the water pumped into the reservoir is allowed to run to waste, as it always will he when no one is responsible for it; and that if we had a system by which every man would pay in proportion to the amount of water used, the present power might be sufficient for years to corns. Hut something will soon have to be done, and whatever it may be, it will cost money. It is the duty of our authori ties to look into this matter, and it h- the duty of every good citizen to 1 support tin ir. in any reasonable plans ti'a! lid: the i so us to • T office: lie. • i of a teacherj doy no I | quali- i qualification in the frc. schools, und r n.| one who is i ot a!r. , ly am; > lied to impart j.r.muiy instiu •lion "I of lus work can arouse ! his w ir tid vigor The Winthrop College has a norma partmout. and claims to sc. .1 out scores of teachers fully equipped in the most modern style for their work; ^tho Citadel Academy has a contract with every beneficiary that he shall teach two or three years after gradu ating in that inditution . all thcothcr colleges in the Scat, an* ruling out large cumbers of graduates eviry year, ’..nd many of them are willing and anxious to teach htel find it very difficult to r< ceive | ositioc-.

We doubt if the net result of these summer schools will justify the time and money bestowed upon them. Most of the so-called modern meth ods in education are nothing more than modern fads and clap trap. Education cannot be ground out by machinery.

Etta Jane, June 30.—Mr. Gist Reynolds shot and killed a mad dog last Tuesday. Yesterday was the hottest day of the season. The thermometer stood 100 degrees in the shade from 0 a. m. till late in the afternoon. Farmers are being pressed to get their crops worked over while the season is in the ground. It was a misprint in Friday’s pa per that made us say Wade Lewis, of Blacksburg, instead of Blackstock. Mr. Lewis has many friends, acquain tances and relatives within the radius of The Ledger’s circulation who will learn with sorrow of his sad death. He was a life-long friend of your humble scribe. We would be glad to see The Ledger correspondents get a move on themselves and give us all the news from different sections of the county. Mrs. Alexander Toole, oi Sunny- side. who has been in delicate health for some time, we are glad to say is much improved. She is one of the oldest native white citizens in this community. She was born and rais ed here and her knowledge of olden times and people who lived here be fore the war, would make interesting reading for our Ledger readers and wc propose to give a few chapters later on. Is it possible that our college pro fessors and scientific men can’t an swer the Mercer correspondent ques tion about tlie crescent shaped shadows shown during the eclipse of the sun. Let us hear from you, gen tlemen. Recently a noble spirit was shown by a little girl in Chester, who having 25 cents to buy a side comb, gave it all to the famine sufferers of India when she heard of their condition, and. what is better still, she got the comb all the same, too. The Chester Lantern has opened u column in which it acknowledges contributions for the famine sufferers of India. The Ledger will do the same. . Send it your contributions, reader, and have your namf enrolled in this noble work. You will never regret it. « This is the way to suppress Hoods, droughts, railroad disasters and other sad calamities. It is estimated that two dollars will feed a man. woman and child a whole month. If every man, woman and child in Cherokee county would contribute only three cents each it would feed fifteen thou sand people a whole day, or five hun dred for one month. We hepe to see a long list of Ledger readers engaged in this noble work. Now is the time to help your missionaries. Tlie work of building a monument to Miss Maggie Roseborough, the white lady who lost her life at Lewis Station on the C. C. & A. railroad while saving that of a colored child who was playing on the track while a train was approaching, has begun, and we hope, when completed, it will be a fitting testimonial of the gratitude to a young lady for one of the most daring deeds that a truly brave woman could accomplish. In her death a sufficient atonement, so to speak, is made for all the wrongs committed, whether real or imagi nary, upon the colored people by the white people of this State. She needs not history’s pages. The poets’ praise shiiif scorn: Through all succeeding ages, lh r deed will her adorn. The colored people of Cherokee county, and all others who read The Ledger, should lend a helping hand and show their gratitude to one who lost her own life in saving a member of their race. The cloudy, damp weather we are having helps the earth to retain its moisture and crops are growing vi ry fast. We have weeds and grass in abundance, but in two weeks, with .rood health and weather, farmers from his headquartets on Stafford Heights on the opposite side of tlie Rappahannock river. With his field g'ass he saw the failure of Ids troops to dislodge the Confederates who held Marye’s Heights, the gibraltur of the Confederate line. He called a counsel of war and laid the matter before it, saying: “These heights must be taken or the day will be lost.” Against the protest of some of his best officers he ordered the assault to be made, and to Meagher’s (pronounced Wears) Irish Division was delegated the task. The Confederate survivers well re member how by regiments and bri gades these Irish troops emerged from the town and aligned them selves for the terrible conflict. They acquitted themselves with that sang froid characteristic of a race whose courage history has made indisputa ble. Pollard in his history says, “The troops were harangued in im passioned language by their brave commander who pointed to the heights as the contestant prize of victcry. The Confederate position was held by McLaw’s division of Longstreet’s corps, with sixteen guns of the Washington Artillery on Marye’s Heights. On they came. Many of them wore wreaths or sprigs of mis tletoe on their caps. At the first volley of a well directed fire from the Confederate line many of them went down in death or permanent disa bility. But they closed ranks, rallied and came again and again until their number was reduced from thousands to hundreds and night drew its mantle over the bloody scene. It was cool pluck, dead game, race und na ional pride that led them into ; this death trap. They were the flower of the Federal army. Their j dead lay in heaps in less than three rods of the Confederate line while many of them died in arms length of the Confederate breastwork. The pride of un irishman is to die game. It was verj unlike the subsequent tct i.es enacted at Spottsylvauia, Fort Harrison and the Crater, where- troops representing all nationalities, many of whom were negroes, filled with liquor, clambered over the breast works and fell in tlie ditches begging for mercy -i. l. k.

On Friday last Governor McSweeney granted a full and unconditional par don to Jesse Wesson, the colored man who killed Thomas McBrayer in Blacksburg last February, and for which he was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Colonel T. B. Butler has been un tiring in IBs efforts to secure a par don for the unfortunate man, and Friday he went to Columbia and de livered the petition in person to Gov ernor McSweeney, with the result as above statec'. The pardon meets with the approval of all right-minded people, as is evinced by the large number of good people who signed the petition Wesson was released from jail here Friday afternoon, and must feel proud over the knowledge that he has so conducted himself in the past as to win the respect and good will of his fellow beings. We reproduce Hie following from the Columbia State for the benefit of our readers who are not acquainted with Hu- circumstances connected wit h t he killing and the trial: A short time ago, up in Gaffney, a | negro Jesse Wesson, whose character was proven a- good as anyone’s found upon un unexpected return home, his wife in a compromising position with another man. He promptly killed the despoil*, r of the happiness of IBs home. The case was tried and a con viction resulted. The newspapers called attention to the matter in vig orous terms and tlie Inst people of the county protested against tlie pun ishment of the man. These same people forthwith got up petitions to tlie governor, asking for Wesson’s pardon. The man was con victed a short time ago of manslaugh ter and Judge Be net gave him the lightest possible sentence—two years on Hie chair.gang. Yesterday the petitions were pre- s nted t<qth: governor. They could not have been made stronger. The county officials, the mayor and ward ens of Blacksburg, the jury who ren dered the verdict and hundreds of leading citizens signed the petitions. That signed by the jurors read thus: The undersigned petitioners re spectfully show to vour excellency : 1. That they sat as the jury who tried one Jesse Wesson on the charge of murder, at the June term of the court of general sessions for Chero kee county, and found said defendant guilty of manslaughter, and that he was sentenced to two years’ imprison ment, as required by law in such casts. 2. That the facts as brought out on trial were us follows: On or about the 17th day of February, 1900, the de fendant, Wesson, upon entering his home in Blacksburg, S. C., found his wife, dressed in her night-clothes, sit ting in the lap and embrace of one Thomas McBrayer. That the de fendant finding the parties in such position, at an early hour in the morning, under the impulse of anirer and ouruged|Jfeeiings, and it having been brought to IBs knowledge that the deceased had made repeated threats against his life and had armed himself with pistol and razor in ac cordance witli such threats, and the defendant claiming to have been ap prehensive of losing IBs life or of suf fering serious bodily harm, tlie grounds of such belief being the cir cumstances surrounding Hie deceased at the time of the killing, together with the knowledge that deceased had made such threats, and also the con duct of the deceased at the time, the defendant shot und killed the said Thomas McBrayer. 3.

The county commissioners of Che’ - okee county held their legu'ar meet ing in the court house yesterday and quickly disposed of the work that came up for their consideration. They agreed to grant a new road from Mr. Morgan’s to near Dock Hammett’s store, via Landrum Wood’s place, a distance of about seven miles. This road, as soon as it shall havo been constructed accord ing to the requirements of law, will be received and adopted by the com missioners. Upon recommendation of Dr. Craw ley, C. C. Hughes was given until Nov. 1st to make water-ways or flood gates through his pond. Col. Butler also asked of the commissioners this extension of time for Mr. Hughes, as it was considered detrimental to the health of those living near by to open the pond at this seaso? of the year.
