THE SUPPLEMENT.
The Weekly N.ezs and Courier ha!
heretofore been sent as a supplemen
to the HERALD AND NEWS by Mr. A. C
Jones, forfner proprietor. We hav<
decided to discontinue this arrange
ment. At the same time we desir<
to act in good faith towards thosi
subscribers who have paid in adviac
for both papers and we have mad<
an arrangement with the Nevs at
Courier Company by which we wil
continue to send the News aml Courie:
to such subscribers.
We hope to retain on our list al
of the present subscribers and trus
that none will stop on account of thi:
arrangement. The HERALD AND NEW:
will be one dollar and fifty cents
vear.
It is our purpose to make tha
HERALD AND NEWS a first class papei
and we want you to subscribe be
cause you want it, and not to sub
scribe to the HERALD AND NEWS il
order to get the News and C'ourie7
In other words we propose to mak,
the HERALD AND NEWS such a pape
as will merit your support withou
the aid of another paper as supple
ment. We ask all our subscribers t<
give us a trial. If we cannot stan<
on our own merits then we deservi
to fall.
THE BULWARK OF LIBERTY.
The right of trial by jury is sai<
to be the bulwark of our Englisi
liberties. It is peculiar to the En
glish law and those countries in
heriting the system of English juris
prudence. It antedates Magna Char
ta, and the Norman invasion. Th<
beauty about a jury trial is that n<
one of their number is responsibli
and no body can blame them. The;
are the conservators of the lives, lib
erty and property of their fellow cit
izens. They are a representativ,
body and carry into the jury roor
their own rights as well as the right
of their fellow citizens.
The safe guard of our rights is th
jury trial, the safe-guard of the jur
trial is well informed mind and en
lighted conscience and the safe-guar
of the latter is the education an<
virtue of the people.-Laurens A
verti.ser.
Tnere is much truth in the fore
going. The juries of the countr
settle the differences of individua
suitors in our courts and pass upo:
the guilt or innocence of p)ersonl
charged with crime. Of course the
are to be, and are, instructed by th
judges of the court, yet the decisio
is still in their power-it is for theI
to pass upon the rights of individ
uals, and the guilt or innocence c
those charged with violations of lav
It is all-important that the persor
drawn to serve on juries should b
the very best men in the country t
the end of a proper and just admir
istration of the law. They shoul
be well informed - men of broad an
liberal views, who can look on bot
sides of a question. If the jury trie
is to be the bulwark of our libertie:
"the education and virtue" of thos
who are to serve as jurors should b
carefully guarded and looked afte
by our citizenship. And the on]
plan by which this end can be al
tained is by the education of th
masses. And simply intellectut
training does not of necessity mali
good citizenship. By education w
mean the development of the more
as well as the intellectual faculties.
THE TROUBLES OE AN EMIGRA
TION AGENT.
Au emigration agent was about t
get himself into trouble over i:
Union county the other day. ]
seems he had made his arrangement
to take of a car load of negroes t
hPthe We-t" who were under coitract
for this year. and who had, of course,
been furnished and provided for up de
to this time by the farmers with St:
whom they were under contract. M.
These farmers determined to make it S
llo
warm for this agent. and when he of
learned of it be did not stop over
but passed on. This proceeding on L.
the part of these farmers may not
have been exactly the legal remedy
for them. but this is no time of the cal
year to lose a erop by worrying with
Trial Justice Courts or lawsuits of c;u
any kind. and we think their plan mi
about the easiest solution of the se
trouble. Suppose they had let this I"
man come in there and attempt to W.
entice their laborers away who were iec
under contract and they had followed Mi
their legal remedy of applying for el
warrants and had all their hands
for
tract, and the agent also for enticing to
labor. While they were doing this Ut
what would have become of their si1
crops ? We suppose that the Union h"
Cc
people had about as soon these peo
pie were in "the West" with the em
igration agent, as in jail. We do fe
not believe the Union farmers are in nu
violation of any law. That emigra
Je
tion agent simply found out in some
way that it would be better for him
to pass on, and he passed on. We
have do objection to the colored pee- a 1
ple emigrating whithersoever they
P please, if they think they can better Co
their condition, but the experience V.
I of those who have gone in search of
fortunes is that they fare much rai
worse than they did before they left. str
And when they make contracts for
- the year they should be made to of
carry out these contracts, otherwise C
the farming interests of the country
would be in a fearful state. cc
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. J
On last Thursday afternoon I left !
Newberry on the afternoon train a
bound for the great "State of Edge- lat
field." One who has this trip to
take can realize more keenly than fri
others the importance and great need At
of the early completion of the Geor- in
gia and Carolina Midland. In order
to reach Edgefield, which is only S
distant from Newberry about fifty uc
miles, I had to travel, from here to ti,
Columbia, forty-seven miles, from ii
Columbia to Trenton. sixty miles, b
band there I was landed a distance
of seven miles from Edgefield yet,.b
which had to be taken in a buggy, a o
total of one hundred and twenty)
miles in order to get fifty miles
from home. Edgefield more than any
other place needs thir road and her H
people realize its importance to the an
life of their town. I learned while til
there that President Mitchell had A
ab
been successful in his recent northern
trip, and that the building and corn- be
pletion of the road at an early day fo
was assured beyond the possibility of n~
a doubt. I found Edgefield village at
quiet, the excitement and stir incidentN
to muder trials and lynchings having ra
subsided; the Court of General Ses- pC

of the week. Judge Norton wast

Edlitors Lanrensrille Heraid:
We, as a committee appointed by the
Farmer. Club of Newberry County, to
confer with the farmers of Laurens
county, in re-_ard to procuring the loca
tion in our mid-t of one of the experi
nontal stations, wili to present the fol
lowing for your con<ideration. Although
an experimental station, apart from the
Agricultural College, is not what the
farmers of the State needed or wanted ;
still, since the Legislature has seen lit
thus to place the cart before the horse,
let us procure the cart, if possible,
hoping in time to secure the team. We
think the Farmers' College should have
been established, and that these experi
ments should have been carried on under
the supervision of the college faculty.
Thus they would have cost the State
nothing extra, for $15,000 appropriated
by Congress would have carried on
most extensive experiments. We feel
that the Legislature has appropriated
$10,00 which, so far as we are con
cerned, will practically amount to a
waste ; but looking upon the procure
ment of an Experimental Station as a
virtual location of the Agricultural Col
lege, we deem it of importance to secure
its location in our midst. We feel con
fident that this can be done, and if
Laurens and Newberry will combine
and bestir themselves, it will be done.
What portion of the State can offer so
desirable a location as these two counties
can? There are lands near our county
lines, and on the rilroad. which con
nect our county seats, which are avail
able at reasonable figures. Since the
low country has its Military Institution,
Columbia its Literary College, certainly
the up-country should have the Farmers'
College. While the up-country rightly
falls heir to this college. it is quite man
ifest that it, as a State institution, for
the purpose of teaching :agriculture to
the youth of the whole State should not
be located in the extreme northern por
tion of the State at the foot of the
mountains; for there the climate is not
a fair average for the S:ate. We would
not present to the farmers of this coun
ty any arguments to impress them with
the importance of an Agi icultural Col
lege, for we judge they are long since
united in wanting this institution. We
see that Spartanburg is a bidder, and
that Anderson, Oconee and Pickens pro
pose to combine in an effort to secure
the Station. Thus. we see the array of
competitors, against whotn we must en
ter the li:ts. Gentlemen, fortune smiles
upon us, and if we will it, we must suc

ST. Louis, March 10J.--A special from
Texarkana, Ark., says :Two weeks ago
Walter Ridgely, a wealthy farmer, liv
ing twenty iles north of here, shot and
killed two ferrymen who were trying to
force exorbitant charges out of a St.
Louis drummer for pulling him across
the river. Ridgely took th.e drummer's
part. The ferrymen insulted him for
this anid attempted to draw their wea
pons, when Ridgely shot them both
dead. Upon the examination Ridgely
was disc:harged. John.Murphy. a brother
of one of the men killed, and an uncle
of the other, swore to kill Ridgely on
sight. Last night Ridgely, on horse
back, was returning home from a neigh
bor's, and on entering a strip of woods
was fired on from ambush. The horse
fell dead, but its rider escaped unharmed
and rolled over on the opposite side of the
horse to that from which the tiring pro
ceeded. The two would-be murderers,
who were the uncle and brothers men
tioned, thinking that Ridgely was dead,
approached, and when they were within
about ten feet Ridgely suddenly raised
up and shot both assailants dead in their
tracks. This makes four meif that
Ridgely has killed over the simple fer
riage transaction.

THE FREE S4'HOOL %YVTE.[. He
cla
The newspapers of the State are sar
beginning to discuss very boldly the te
Free School System, for its ineffi
ciency is now being seriously felt.
The necessity of its very existence, in Ii
its present state, is about to be ques- w
tioned. It is by no one doubted that ba
ta
its design is good, and that goodte
would result from it were the people 3e
of the State. not the office-holders, No,
to do their duty. This is no "Colnm- O
bia Canal," or "Lien Law" question its
du
which might defeat an aspiring poli
tician. It is the approaching failure cai
of something for which the whole
people of the State are responsible.
tio
No legislator is to lose his position,
nor is any politician to miss his pros- ab
pective office on account of the inef
ficiency of the School System.
We are not to discuss what the
system is but its effects. What have
been the effects, good or bad ? Bad.
1. It has shortened the school
tenn. Thirty or forty years ago,
when the State did not shower its
largesses so bountifully upon her
citizens as now, the schools were In
open as much as ten months of the be
year, sometimes more. Then only a
small tax was levied which was to
pay for the poor children, now there
is a tax to pay for all, without dis
tinction. But what has been the
result? The school-term has been a
reduced from ten months to five or ne
less. It is to be doubted whether "l
one-fourth of the schools of South
Carolina are kept open more than
five months in the year. It would be
unreasonable, nay ' rse, to say that
a school session of four or five will do Ca
efficient work.
2. The system has shown the in- So
gratitude and weakness or our people. P
It has shown that if it is desired to
make a beggar and pauper of a man,
hell) him when it is not seriously
needed. Helping a man without
need of it, creates a~dislike for work, C,
destroys his energy, takes away his m
self-reliance, and after a while he be
comes a beggar.
3. It makes the teachers inefficient.
What thoroughly qualified teacher
will consent to teach five months in
the year at a salary of 20 or 25 w
dollars a month?i It is a known fact,
however that a great many teach and -
the question is, are thyor can they:
be qualified ?
"Take your watch to a black-smith,
or employ a quack to perform surgi- ye
cal operation; but tolerate no quack
erv in the teacher."
4. A short term and poor pay
destroys all ambition in the teacher.
To find a real ambitious teacher now
is the exception. What is he to as- 2s
pire to ? As soon as he gets his first fo
position, he is at the top of the ladder.
He can go no farther. Where he
commences there he must stay. The -
consequence is that he is contented, N
(a very faulty contentment) with a
very small portion of this world's
enviable praises. e
5. Another effect is that it has and ci
is now causing many teachers to A
desire their schools to close as quickly 9
as possible. They are beginning to
think that five months is long enough -
to teach. Oh! miserable conclusion! S
To say that they are working for the
small amount of pay they are to
receive would be a mistake. They m
are teaching because they have no A
other way in which to spend the short ol
time allotted to them on earth. mn
It i. time that the teachers of the
Staite should awake to the importance in
of something which so deeply con
cerns them. That there is a remedy, ti
there is no doubt, but how are we to t
find or apply it ? An association of et
teachers is helpless. They may plan y
and advise but that is about all they
can do. It is only the united efforts
of the whole people that will bring.
ab)out the needed reforms. For the '
State to educate her children is~right, re
but it is reasonable that each citizen C
should do his part by p)rivate sub
s,cription.0
Mr. J. S. Wheeler, teaching at
Mtt. Pigrimn, 4 miles below Pros-1
perity states that during the present
session he has enrolled the names ofj
(03 pupils. He says that the patrons
of the school take a great interest a
in its success. Where this is the ti
case much good is sure to be done- a<
It affords us much pleasure to know ti
that one of our classmates in college 1
has such a large and fiourishingj
school, and is so much loved by those it
among whom he labors, as the size tr
of the school testifies.
What teacher in the county can
give an easy and simple way for the
explanation of the process of ex
tracting the cube root of numbers, a
way that will make the whole mneth
od intelig ible to the pupil. Perhaps
some one may have some ingenious
mnethod. and if so let us know what
it is The meicthods in our text books
aLre entirely satisfactory to the teach
er. but difficult often for the pupil to
understand.
w
Commissioner Tracy, of Colleton Ti
county says: "I find in visiting my
schools, that scarcely two pupils F
have the same text books, and great
confusion necessarily results. We
glad to say that no such state of
ngs exists in Newberrv county.
re, not only do thie different
sses in the same school have the
ne books, but in all the schools the S
t books are fast being made alike."
Drangeburg is among the few if o
the only county in the State 1
ich runs its schools oil a cash
,is. We don't believe that the
chers in other counties would ob- 1
t seriously to the cash sy;temt. It
uld work well undoul,tedlv. One
vrship in the county (No. ~.) pays (
teacher at the end of every month
ring the entire school term. WhyT
inot ;other townships do likewise ,
Teachers have you made prepara
ns to attend the association at

ssible for you to get there. if You
not make any effort to go.
