I have a few words to say to you. but at the beginning let me say that this is not a valedictory. I wish simply to state that owing to the increasing trouble with y eyes, and finding freedom from office -ork necessary for any benefit to be ob 'ned, I have decided with much regret, withdraw for an indefinite peiiod from lournalism.

The IHge public school, colored, opened- la-t Monday with forty tive scholars, andl there has been a steady increase each day since. This is a very large school, and in all probability there will be an enrollment of two hundred pupils by the first of January. Three teachers have been engaged for the present session. T. R. Holmes Esq., a young colored lawyer recently admitted to the bar of this state is principa!.. The school building is sadly In need of repairs, and Mr. Holmes is making an effort to have the work done immediate Remarkable Kil1ing. One of the most remarkable acciden tal deaths which has perhaps ever oc curred, took place in this district Sat ur day last. It happened in this way. the brothers Charly and Yancy Floyd, were out hunting. and while in a cane brake, Mr. Yancy Floyd fired at a bird, and one of the shot, a number 7 bird shot, penetrated the eye of his brother. Charlie, causing death in a short time. Not in our knowledge has a death of so mournful, so singular a character ever before occurred. The bro' her who thus unfortunately deprived the other of life has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. The State Fair. There is no doubt that a large number of people will be in attendance at the * State Fair, since the election of Mr. Clevelan d to the Presidency, than would have been the case had so glorious an * event not have trauspired. This election will inspire the drooping heart, and all the avenues of business will take a fresh * tart; it is not strange then that our people evill feel more disposed to indulge in a pleasure such as this-, and meet to shake hands in congratulation over the victory. Trains will leave Newberry each day until Friday at 7.20 a. in., returning also each day at 8.05 p. mn., the price of the round trip being only $1.40. The ac commodation is very favorable and the cost so low that anyone will be enabled to take advantage of It. The Best and Finest Flour For brea-d or eake, in Newberry, is for sale hby M. Foot.

B. linter, wife and child paid a visit to Newberrv. We arc ph-ased to see our young fri.end Oscar Herbert, Esqi., on the street again after his long illness. Singular. Mr. T. P. Lane tells us that onhis three last visits to Charleston, he had seen violent death. The first time two colored men were killed in a railroad accident near Charleston: on the second occasion a white man took his own life in Colum bia. and last week he! was returning~ on the night of the shoeking collisioni at Ridgeville, when enginceer lInnuicut was killed. TVhe accident wvas caused by a misplaced switch. 0. fatal oiss'ion of ditty! There are two "lightni:r' trains over the Sothi Cairolbi a R:iwa at nigh:t, to andl fro. with their meeting point. and no other trains are alitowedl in their path. There are two way traiins also, that pick up freight and passeigers slowly btetween stations: and it waa one that faileid to fix the switch wh: the train ran into the sidi:ng. The result waa that when? the express train wen!t thunidering along, it swept with its fi:ne~ of tire and death into tihe trap left open for its destruction. The engines were demolished, a large unumber of ears thrown from the track, and about 20 of them wrecked. Fortunately noine of the passengers were seriously hurt. They were only thrown about and iostled in wild disorder. But the devoted engineer was broken in fragmnent.:-his head could not be found. The poor coO>redl lireman,. McCoy, was a sad wreck of wounds and bruiises. We hope our friend may never again be called upon to witness scenes so dreadful. More of It. Friday night was rich with interest. The boys, little and big, swallowed their suppers and did their chewing after wards, so that they might be in time for the granid rally. As soon as day hid her light under the shade of night the streets were literally v live with pedestrians eager for the fray. These collected in knots or crowds, some carrying trans parencies, (our carrier, Eugene, had a large picture of Clereland,with our Presi dent in large letters un:dern:eath,) some had flambeaux, some tin horns, others drums, cow bells, aund other n i e-making contrivances, any thing, every thing to lend enthusiasm t o the occa-i mi. When all of these instruments were set agoing, the din was incomparable. Well they marched up and down, back and forth, hither and thither. up the middle andJ down again. The dust kicked up was~ fearful-the noise more so. They rest"., only to commence againi. During these rests favorites were called uponi for:tei sentiments. In front of the hot -1, where one of the rests ocecmred], Charley C. C. was called upon. He said, "gentlemxen I am ftuli" of Cleveland we supposed, 'Almighty God"-raising his right hand high over his head-"~has been with us, is still with us"--take him by the hand, yelled a processionist. He then ceased. Dr. F. receiving a like invit ation step)ped to the front and said, "Cleveland has been elected, and by the God's we will seat him." Immense cheering. This was not all, others followed-more walk ing, more yelling, others joined the phalanix, and they continued to walk and stir the dust. This was kept up until the fireworks arrived which came upj on the 9.} o'clock freight. Agrieultural Department Dots.

A large and happy re-unon of Col. Leavell's fam ily took place at his resi deuce last Friday, in honor of the mar riage of Mr. John Leaveli. The happy couple reside in Greenwood. Miss Fan ny Leavell and Mrs. Spearman of Columbia came up. The Juvenile or Sparkling Berry So ciety had its regular monthly meeting on Sunday afternoon in the Methodist church. The Ladies Missionary Society met at the same time and place. The latter meeting was guite small. 0 ir paper this week is just as full as posible of the great victory. We can't help it, we are full,we are running over, and what with Cleveland and Hendricks, the electoral vote, etc., and so forth, it is quite natural to effervese. We would fill it if it was twice the size. Read the good news, democrats, read it. Mr. T. P.

Tom is a whole-souled jolly fellow, and knows how to give a countryman's fare and a hearty welcome to his friends. The political complexion is changed, and it was hoped that this happy change would have brought rain. . The atmos phere however instead of getting heavy with moisture has, in keeping wvith the lightness of heart of the people, also grown light. Subscribers who fail to get the HERALD AND NEWS after January, will know that this is caused by their failure to pay for the paper. We cannot afford to (10 a credit business longer. We will be obliged to our readers if they will ex amine the dates opposite their names and see wvhat amount they owe us and remit at once. It is not our purpose to dun our snbscribers any after this, but simply to cut off the names of all who are in arrears and place the accounts in the hands of a collector. 4It SEEING IS BELIEVING.

The election of Mr. Cleveland to the first office in the gift of the people will work a complete, a signal reformation. The mind is lost in the conitemplation of the good which is in store, politically, morally and socially. Like the little - boy we "ean't begin to think of it--it is too good. It is a good too wiiich will last. The Republican party have had the ribbons in hand for twenty-four ye.:rs, anid to the ruin of the country be it said.

Last Sunday afternoon. at the close of service at the Helena Sunday School, and just before dismissal, the superintendent, Mr. Junius E. Chapman. who was on the eve of his departure for Florida, a rose. and addressing the school, said that the painful moment had arrived when he must break the tie that bound him as the tendril to the vine for years, and leave his dear friends of the Sabbath School. never perhaps to meet them all again in this world. With modest bear ing and unassuming way, he said that he felt he must say a few words to the parents of the pupils on the im portant matter of home culture, training and discipline. He forcefully urged pa rental example, as children were imita tive creatures. That the boys and girls who grew up with clean hearts and h:nds and tongues. might not be afraid to go from under the parental supervision. Ile feelimgly alluded to the disobedience of Adonijah and Absalom as the bitter fruits of mistraining, and hoped that no personal charms in children might so blind parents against their faults as final ly to wring from them the broken-heart ed exclamationl, "O my child. my child, would that I had died for thee T Thank ing the parents for their kindness to him andl in entrusting the children to his care, he next in turn addressed the teachers. He heartily thnan1ked the teachers for their co-operation; that it was largely due to their zeal that the school had been successful. He begged the little boys to remember thme frequent advice given them to be manly, and to obey their pa rents. thatGod might bless them. Hie said there were boys-and manly boys; that manly boys would not tell falsehoods. woulid not smoke cigars, nor do0 other naughty things, but were polite, conside rate andl obedient. He admonished the little girls to be true to their misionary work and, as household angela. to be true ministering spirits; to delit in all thnsgnle, pure and good. remember igthat the best friends the pitying Sa vior had upon earth were the faithful women. On taking leave of his Bible class. .it was his most earniest wish that they might stand faithful to the cause they had prof'?ssed, and never to mind the sneers and scoffs of those who would ridicule religion. Wheni he had linished.Mr. R. H. Gren eker. sr.. addressed Mr. Chapman in these words: Mr. Superintendenit, I feel, sir, that there are b)ut few words more tender and touching; more fragrant with the per fumed memories of the past; or that pro duce so soft a touch.or a strain more sad. upon the organ of memory, than the wordl 'aeWdi to those we have learned to love and fondly cherish. And now, sir, when you are about to disunite the tie' that hias so tenderly bound you to the Helena Sunday School; to the little boys and girls; the young men and mai dens; the teachers; the parents and guar dians of the children, and the friends of the school-made up as they are of all communions in one little band of hope, with fraternity of feeling, "in the Father hood of God and the Brotherhood of Christ",-to go away and make your home among strangers, it becomes my duty, in behalf of the school, to express to you its sentiment and its appreciation. To tell of its sympathy and affection; ol its admiration and gratitude; and of its confidence and respect, both in you ant) for you, because of your constancy an~ devotion; your cheerfulness and patience; and your punctuality at all times, alikE through summer's heat and wintry wea ther; and likewise to present to you e Itangible token and testimonial of thai appreciation. You will, therefore, pleas4 accept this souvenir .of their love! with their prayer, that a clement and corn passionate Heavenly Father may send his angels "to encamp round about youm habitation;" and that He may pour upor you and your loved ones,from the largess< of His love, the gifts of health, healinj and happiness; with true pleasure. peac< and prosperity in the land where yoi shall so shortly " pitch your moving ten a dav's march nearer heaven." Thie gift presented to Mr. Chapmam was an ebony cane,with a handsome gol< head,upon which was engraved,"J. E. C. Nov. 9, 'S4." It w a- intended as a surprise to the su perintendent. and it was. Visibly affect e d Mr. Chapinan. on receiving the appro pniate gift said. with much feeling. I hay not w ords to express all that I feel a tis moment-to properly thaiik you fo this token of your regard and apprecia tion of my feeble services; yet you man: rest assured that I will ever look ba1c1 upon this hour of my life, as one of th tbrightest ; as a green oasis in the deser of life; and in the secret recesses of in: heart I shall always cherish fond reco] lections of my deal friends of the Helen Sabbath School. The occasion was one of deep sadnei -the whole school being overcome wit Semotion as they bade adieu to their love supeintendent. Mr. Chapman has gone to Orland< -Fla.. where lie will go into business wit Mr. C. A. Boone. His obiect in breakin up his homie and pleasant associatior fhere. was to, take his wife to a climal where she might recover her was 4ing health.
