Of LAURENS COUNTY
The Schools, Teachers and
Pupils.
Miss M///I0 Hunter, teacher <>i" the
Oak Orovo school, was compelled to
resign to bo at the bedside of her
brother. Mr. T. II. Nelson, who Is crit
ically 111.
The Trlnlty-Rldge school dosed last
Friday with a picnic. There was a
large crowd and an abundance of good
things to eat. The hoys had a game
of hall in the afternoon which, was en
joyed by all. This (doses another
very successful year for Trlnlty-Rldge.
The teachers and pupils have been
faithful ami busy, and everybody is
pleased witii the year's work.
Mr. 'I'. ('. M< Daniel, one of the most
faithful school trustees of the coun
ty, died at his home near F.koiu one
flay last woek. Mr. M<-Daniel will be
greatly missed in the school.
The people of Eden school will ask
for an election for the purpose of vot
ing a special school levy. The good
people of this community realize that
they cannot depend altogether on the
public fund if) educate their children.
Several other districts will \ote special
levies this summer.
Mrs. Maty Nance Daniel has tin
sympathy of tin* entire county because
of the loss of her mother. Mrs. Daniel
is well known over the county as a
friend to the schools.
Quite a number of the county High
school teachers attended the conven
tion of High school teachers in Co
lumbia last Thursday and Friday.
The Mountville High school closed
one of its most successful years last
Friday. A basket picnic was given by
ilie school, Some good speakers were
on hand, ami the day was spent pleas
antly and profitably.
A few of the country schools are
closing now. Many of them will coll.
tilMie a few weeks longer. It is on
coti 'aging to know that the schools ol
the , ountj are running so much longer
than in former years. Nothing less
than nine months of good school
should satisfy any community. We
will reach that standard in a few
years. i
The county board of education met
Friday to discuss the matter of a suni
m< r school for teachers. The board
has an appropriation of $13Q lo be us
ed for Ibis purpose. The board wishes
to give th ? teachers the best possible
results from this small amount of mon
ey. Since this fund is mit sufficient
for a satisfactory school in Lnurons,
the hoard was unable to roach a de
Oision, and the teachers are being ask
ed for their opinion.
Twenty white and (Ifteen colored ap
plicants for teachers* certificates took
the regular spring examination which
was held in the armory last Friday
by iho county board of education. In
addition to the regular examination,
each applicant was required to pass .
on t'.ie subject of agriculture. This
list was added to the spring examina
tion questions pursuant to a deci
sion of the State hoard of education
last fall, and is therefore a new fen
lure. The following questions pertain
ing to farming were submitted:
How does agriculture rank as a
science?
How far does the science of agricul
ture extend and what does it pro
pose ?
Whore does soil cease and sub soil
begin?
What proportion of vegetation i.
water?
What is the object of level plowing?
What ate the advantages of under
dralns?
What is the relation of plants and
soils?
show the importance of selecting
seed.
HOW TO (THE RHEUMATISM.
it Is an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.
The cause of Rheumatism ami kin
dred diseases is an excess of uric
a' id in the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must he expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
add will be formell in excessive
quantities. Rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal reme
dy, Rubbing wilh Oils ami Liniments
will not cure, affords only temporary
relief nt best, causes you to delay this
proper treatment, allows the malady
to get a firmer hold on you. Liniments
may ease (lie pain, hut they will no
more cure Rheumatism than paint
will ( hange the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per.
feet and complete cure, which is call
ed "Rheumaclde." Tested In hundreds
of cases. It has effected the most mar
velous eures; we believe it will cure
you. Rheumaclde "?rets at the joints
from the inside," sweeps the poisons
out of the system, tones up the stom
ach, regulates the liver and kidneys
and makes you woll all over. Rheu
maclde "strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes Its cause." This
splendid remedy is sold by druggists

STOCKS MARKS |
By W. D. S.
MHjHMi* ????????
"Well Herbert, can you toll me
what an under-bit in u lion's right ear
was? And what was the use of It?"
In years past cattle, hogs and sheep
roamed over the old Holds and swamps
of tills COUllty. I'llfeiicod lands were
usf<| by the public as a stock range,
stock had to bo marked to show the
ownership. Hence the terms now ob
solete were then in great use. "A split
in the rlghl with a sinallow fork in the
left, or a smooth out off, with an un
derbid"
Every fanner marked his young cat
tle, and when he turned them out In
the summer to graze and roundlng-up
time came he was ntdc to pick out
his own stock. Much depended on
tlx1 indentiflcatlon of stock -next win
ter's supply of bacon from the hogs,
stall-fed beef from the steers, and
the winter's supply of wool clothing
from the sheep for both white and
!;!:?.:?!;. Even the negrofiH In thfl quar
ters bad their marks on their chickens
to prove property. A certain toe on
the right or left foot was cut oft' of
the little chickens. Our mothers
marked geese in the same way. They
also took a hot iron and punched a
hole in the webbing between the toes.
Others cut so many rings in the loath- \
eis around their necks. Much de
pended on these little things. The
feathers had to lie plucked from the
Hock at the right time?when they
were ripe?before the quills were
blood sliotten, or next winter's feath
er hed was a failure.
These marks tended to keep the
peace of the settlement. Showed the
ipilck ownership of property and kept
down lights and law suits. One time
"Aunt I'radey" sent out bor son Itoh
to collect up !!:?' WOUdci'lllg geese.
Unfortunately he met up with a neigh
bor hoy on the same errand. They
got into a dispute about the geese and
the hoy struck Hob over the head with
a stick and killed him fur hours. The
hot bloods would not wait to look at
the marks.
Tills custom of free pasturage has
had a had Influence on our people;
ii has established rights which the
courts do not sustain a man to roam
over the land of his neighbor, fish and
hunt when he pleases, just like the
cattle did in olden times. Tins is
one reason it is so hard to enforce
game laws in South Carolina. People
will have to he gradually educated up
lo respect the rights of the land own-'
er. The fence law has done a good
work along this line.
