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 sions having adjourned the early part n of the week. Judge Norton wast still there holding the Court of Corn mon Pleas. I finished my husiness and returned by the afternoon trainf cornMBLA.

Citizens of all Profesions and Pur suits. See to the Material Inter ests of your County. 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 ceed. J. T. DtNCAN, FRANK MOON, JNo. W. SCO-rT. The Texas~ Wa.y. 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. Bounid for West Point. (Special Dispatch to the Sunday Kews.) FLORENCE, March 19.--A competitive examination for this district, to select a candidate for West Point, was held yes terday at the graded school. The board of examiners consisted of Capt. W. B. Bonham, of Clarcndon, ciairman ; Dr. Mullinis, of Marion ; John S. Moore, of Darlington ; with Dr. James Evans, of Florence, as medical examiner. There were nineteen applicants, who consti tuted the finest-looking set of men, it is -said, to be found sin the district. The committee examined them by numbers, and at 11 o'clock last nighit decided that -number 7 had won. This was Eugene SOliver Ingram, of Clarendon. The de cision has given universal satisfaction. Mr. Ingram is a son of Dr. John I. In gramn, and a most promising youth. Mimaall Fire at (Cokesbury.

TE.A CiI E RS' ) EPA RT\i hNT. arc ARTHUR KIBL.n, EDITOR. thi 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 osperity .' If not be in a hurry Dut it.
