THE NEWS AND JERALD. WINNSBORO, S. U. TOi 3DAY, MA' t4, : e 187. s.a.} aanTOsa, W. L. McDONALD, .DIToas. IT Is now pretty well understood that the inter-State commerce law will be enforced. O'BRIEN has boon - again mobbed in Canada, this time at Ottawa. It.would seem that Canadian Irishmen are about as turbulent as their kinsmen in Ulster. They bruised the orator con siderably. Oun usually accurate contemporary, the Columbia Record, speaking of the Baltimore Sun, says: "Its rays throw a gleam of light even to its contempo raries, and it is in consequence the constant companion of its fraternal labors." Let the "Devil" be executed and the proof-reader burned in effigy. SouE of our contemporaries, among them the Abboville Press and Banner, are still claiming that the decision of the Supreme Court in Aultman, Tay lnr & Co. vs. Rush was contrary to the provisions of the Constitution, etc. It is very easy to say that anything is unconstitutional, to show it is quite another thing. Just as a speimen of a legal argument from the press, we invite our contemporary to the task of showing the exact particular in which the decision in question overrides the Constitution. A WVIise luggetion. The Columbia Register is urging the the importance of removing the ob structions in the Congaree River be tween Granby and Columbia to the end, that steamship navigation may be made possible between Charleston and Columbia. The river) we believe, is already navigoble from Charleston up as high as Granby, three miles below Columbia. Above Granby there are some obstructions which it is known, can be very easily removed. It is cer tainly to be wished that the saggestion of the Register be adopted and the obstructions in the river at once re moved. The value of such a highway to Columbia is simply incalculable; it Will bring the city into closer connec tion with the maritime cities of the world, and will give it a "competing line" that would reach- to the four ends of the earth. Tho wonder which will strike most people Is tnat Columbia has sat stupid ly down so long and neglected to avail Itself of the opportunities which nature has patiently held out lo her. How long will the City oin the Congaree sleep? TIhe Hion. Jefferson Davis, in his recent speech at Meridian, Miss., said: But now those scenes and incidents have passed, and they only live in mind and history. United you are now, and if the Uniion is ever to be broken, let the other side break it. The army of the South will shine for ever around the camp-fires, and will shine to our children and children's children. The truths we fought for shall not encourage you to ever fight again; but keel) your word in good or evil. And for these patriotic words of the ox-President of' the Confederacy, in which they discover evidence that he is at last reconstructed, the Nort.hern press of every shade o' p)olitical opin Ion are outspoken in their praise of Mr. Davis. The Philadelphia .News says: The strength of mind, the mental courage required to enable Jeff Davis to say to his people, "the truth we fought for shall not encourage you ever to fight again," demands cordial recognition. For the first time in nearly thirty years the North can well afford to put aside resentment and to joIn the South in praise of Jeff Davis. The New York Evcning Post af firms that: For a long time, whatever else failed, the venerable bloody shirt shakers, like Senator IIoar, could fall back upon Jeff Davis and Bob Toombs and say that they were just as bad rebels as ever they were. 13ut Toombs is dead, and now Davis has become reconelled. There is nothing to cling to, and llorace Greeley's memorable prediction may be said to be fulfilled: 'Your attempt to base a great, endur ing party upon the hate and wrath necessarily engendered by a bloody civil war is as though you should plant a colony on an iceberg which had somehow drifted lnto a tropical ocean. For nearly a quarter of a century the partisan spirits of the North have labored to make Mr. Davis the scape goat of the war of Secession--to offer himi up as it were on the altar of his tory, as a i carious sacrifico for the supposed slns of his section. Parn phrasing the elegant language [of the Philadelphia ifews, we must gener onsly admit that "the strength of mind, the mental courage required to enable these to acknowledge that the NIorth can well eff'ord to put aside re sentiment, and to join the South tin praise of Jeff Davis demands cordial recognition." Let the bloody shirt be .burled. " :2 T1Wi B'"OM F.iir Bvi !i'X'4. 1 p 1hrough the Weetern jort on I the 'ointy.4Vrops...Sohool aelebratio and Picnic. 4fe8are. Editors: We are ho moi than mortals, and when our obligin idend, Mr. J. L. Richmond, appeare before us with an invitation from tb principal of the Rock Creek school I attend a May party and picnic at thi institution, and pointed out his trust animal and a buggy. hard by as, means of transportation, we droppe to his proposal, and soon found oui solves en route for that highly fav"ore section known as Rock Creek Towi ship. Once on the road we opene our eyes and took in as much of tb surroundings as was possible; and thi is what we saw: A general promisin prospect for good crope of corn, co ton and wheat, and an equally pron ising failure for an oats crop. Tb farmers seemed more cheerful an hopeful than they have for sover. years past. May all .of our hopes b realized. Everybody knows that J. L. i. is genial host and good company, a with much pleasant chat and an occa sional word of encouragemont to th faithful Lucy, our beast of burden, w soon found ourselves at the point c destination. We proceeded at one tq the school-house and was met b Mrs. James L. Richmond, the efficie principal of Rock Creek school, and bevy of young ladies and litle misse and boys of the school, all apparentl eager for the battle of the day to oper The day was propitious, and notwitl standing the busy season an unusuall large and appreciative number o patrons and friends of the school wer on the grounds. We do not wish t appear personal in our remarks, bu we think it due bore to notice th presenco of our jovial, generous-hearl ed and efficient School Commissionet Dr. John Boyd. The Doctor evince a deep interest in the educational de partment of the county, and is eve ready to grace any occasion with hi p:osence when duty requires it, o pleasure affords him an opportunity t do or say a good thing for the commo: schools of the county. The hour fo commencing the exercisee of the da having arrived, the assembly bell wa rung, and about twenty-five brig eyed children assembled, and headei by their accomplished teacher, MrF Richmond, proceeded to the stage which was erected under the spreadinj branches of a majestic oak. Th stage was beautifilly. decorated.. an festooned with evergreens and filoweri and surmounted by a column wit the word "May" in evergreens acros the top of it. Mrs. Richmond boin somewhat indisposed, Mr. W. a Keller was requested to" assist in th duties of the hour. The task was pleasant one and , duly performed In o.der that those -interested in th education of our children may see th efforts made by Mrs. Richmond t make the occasion interesting t patron' and pupil, we subjoin th entire programme, which is as follows Song--Auld Lang Sync-by th school, followed by the interestin; coremouny of crowning Miss Josi Cureton as Queen of May.

The following comn p)ositions were then read :1 righi Flowvers - Miss Blanche Clowney Spring--Miss Estelle Lyles. Past Present and Future-Miss Josie Cure ton. American Indians-Miss Hanni Long. The exercises were gone througl with in a manner highly creditable ti the pupils and teacher. The beautifui young Queen and her lovely maids c honor acquitted themselves with be coming dinity, .and we judged from the number of constellations that coni tinued to revolve around her durinj the (lay, that she would never wan for truly loyal subjects. Mrs. Rich mond deserves great credit for he untiring efforts and the success sh has attained in training these younj minds for the iXture walks of life, ani it is another evidence that woman sphere is without a boundary. N higher compliment could be made t< Mrs. Richmond and her school thai was made by the sage of Rock Creel Cmureh, Capt. Thomas M. Lyles, whi said, "I never saw children of~ an, school acquit themselves in a mor satisfactory manner." A fter the close of the exercises Mr W. J. Keller introduced School Com missioner Bloyd to the audience, whi first addressed his remarks to thi school children, and afterwards to thi friends and patrons of the school. T< each of these respective classes ha pointed out in his usual forcible man nor, their duties in reference to edu cation and how it is to be obtained The11 Doctor is a ready roasonor, an< scoems to have a special taCt in talkip1 to school Chiildren. And now dinner is announced, bu our mind fails to fhrnish languagi that wvould do justice to the man: tempting edibles furnished by thi good people of the neighborhood. Ii quantity and quality they could no be surpassed. There was plenty o temnporanco beverages, ice-cream ami ice lemonade to satief the entire host old and young. it Is usual fo: writers to say "the table. groane< under the weight of good things piiei thereon," but the order was 'reverse 4t , this time, an egtoaing was. n " by the "take tn'!;:ftho goo tbiligs and no won , for human' ature I pon to give way to tennptatlon when 1i comes in the way of good things. 0 After dinner Dr. Boyd and Mr. g Keller were appointed a committee to d inspect and pass upon the petir,an ship of the pupils, and a ard prizee 0 to the best in the two classes. The 0 copy books wore numbered, and num t ber 4, Miss Josle Cureton, was award. y the prize in the first class. Number 1, Miss Bessie Lyles, -in second class, a Mrs. Richmond has g:ven special"at d tention to this important branch of education, as was shown by the mark d ed improvements made In, writig by all the pupils. Miss Haunie -Lbng of the first clash and Miss Estelle Lyles of d the second class, deserves honorable e mention for their neatness and i:. s provement in this branch.
