TIm N.Lw D1STRICT AN) TowNsnw. -The Legislature passed the act mak ing a separato school district four miles square, having the court house as a nentre, to be called District No. 1-1, and it also required the county commissioners to lay off the same as a separate township, known as Town ship No. 11. We hope the commis aioners will have it surveyed at once, as the citizens of the district wish to have a meeting to levy a local tax, and they wish to know who live in the district and who do not. MAso'td Er,ECTtON.-At h meoting of Rtidgeway Lodge, No. 30, A. F. M., held on the 18th of )eccimber, 1878, the following officers wvcro elected to serve for the ensuing Mason'c year: T. E. Cloud, W.

THE LIEN LAw.--The following is the full text of the lien law~, enacted at tho recent session of the Legislature: AN AaT to amend and continue of force an act entitled '"An act to secure landlords and persons making advances." Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 8tate of South Carolina, now' met and sittig in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same: pSEoTIoN 1. That all of said act be re-enacted and continued of force, ox.. copt the seventh section, which is h ereby stricken out. Sno. 2. That with this amnendmnent the saidl act remains in full force with out limitation. Approved December 30, 1878. The "'seventh section" referred to is that clause of the Act of 1877 which limits the op)eration of the lien lawv to the years 1877 and 1878. Thme Act above given places tihe lion law on the statute hoo0k with no limit as to the time of its operation. A.VALUAnLE,1 BOOK FOR ALL-TIlE FOoTPrIN'rs OF TLIE AND ANA~LYsIs OF OUR GOVERN4MENT.-TheO delivering agent has been in our towvn during the last week, delivering this book to the subscribers. It is indeed a book of great value for reference, as well as for reading. Any fact one may wvish rknow about the channel of historicali ovents from tihe earliest times, can be readily found, wilie it gives a dom May of last year, while.a complete an alysis of our goverinent is clearly given. It is a work of merit, and we commued it to the patronage of our TIER G oUNTY SOHOOLS. p Their Past and their Future--A Word 9 for the School Offleials. The schools begin the Now Year in P some respects under better auspices than ever before. They have had a good begiiniug at least, and although p not nearly reaching the proliciocy they ought to have and will have in y 'he future, they are at least doingsome good. Every claim of last year has becen paid, while only a small de 11 ciency in one or two districts exists a from former years. The law has been improved, and olicials are at last be ginning to perform their duties unider it. The fund is still miuch too small. As has before been shown, most other States raise from ten to twenty dol lars a child every year, while South Carolina raises little more than a dol lar. This cannot be helped at present, for tile State is poor; but the compari son is made to show the people that t they should not be content to remain wheire they are. Much more money must be expended yearly before the goal can be reached. It is but simple jus t;ce in this con nection to say that the credit is chief- 9 ly due the retiring commissioner, Mr.. Richardson, for the auspicious be- 2 ginning the system has made in -Fair- C filed. Mr. Richardsoi -caie to this F county seven or eight years ago as a missionary and teacher for the colored people. Here he has quietly pursued & the line of his duty, nevci- prostituting 9 hisprofession by making it a stepping stone to political preftrinent and kna ieiry, thus illistrating the dill'reiic between a bona /Ide settler and a ca- i pot-bagger. In 1876, unsolicited on his part, lie was chcted school commis sioner, and was one of the very first offlicials in the State to recognize the decision of the Supreme Court declar hig Hampton governor, because he saw in that alone rested the. salvation 9 of the State. His commission was issued while Governor Hampton and 2 Colonel ScofMn were runnimg the # State. The schools were in a state of C chaos, and the claims all in confusion. - By dint of carnest research and hard labor lie straightened out the accounts E of his office. lie has devoted all his C energies to improving the schools. When money was needed for fitting. up the Winnsboro School he advanced it out of his own pocket, and oft has privately done many acts of kindness. Although now no longer officially con nected with the schools, Mr. Richardson is as much interested in them as evcr. We would not have written thus at length, but when so many Northern men como'South only to foment strife and revel in ill-gotten gains, we feel that whlere onle has beeni an honorable excep)tion to the rule, it due himself anid the people of the South also, to show that his worth is apprecitd and to prove false the assertion that tile South hates a Northern mian simply because lhe comes from the North. She welcomes every citizen into her border. The County Examiners still remain in office, as they were appointed in 1878 for two years. They will co operate with Commissioner Boyd ini endeavoring to peOrfect the system. Their position is not an easy one, in volving a good deal of wvork and much responsibiliIty, and briniging no pay. When peop)le are disposed to lind'fault with them b)ecause it is impossible to lase overyb)ody, we hope they Wvill remember that the Examinersa.aro doing a good deal of work for nothing, and be patient with them. Dr. Boyd, the nlewly elected commis sioner, is a graduate of the South barolina College, and has had expe rience in teaching. He is a gentleman of genial manners, and as soon as lie gets fairly into harness will mak'e things move along as smoothly as they have begun to do. Ho will make a popular and efficient officer, and will justify the flattering vote lie received from the people. Much depends uponI the trustees. The best citizenis of the county have been selected for this position, and we feel assured they will carefully guard the interests of the schools.' We hope that the fathers and mothers through.. out the county, whon they see the schools opened for free tuition, will make their children attond regularly, and will, In every way, co-operate to make the schools a success.
