The ryporter for The Herald and N1ws thinking that the public would like to know something of the inside itory of the agitation in behalf of hel ter public schools within our county which culminated in the creation, by in Act of the last General Assembly of this State, of the Broad River School District, and the Rutherford School District, sought our Senator who very cheerfully submitted his views on this imatter. Reporter : Senator Pope, I would be glad to know what led to the passage of t he recent Act of the General Assembly in relation to the Broad River School District and the Rutherford School Dis trict. Senator Pope : Early in November last Col. D. Augustus Dickert, by his appointment met me in my office, and announced as the purpose of that inter view, the erection of better schools for his section of our county, and in answer to my questiou as to the methods he had in view to secure this most worthy end, replied that the creation of a school district by an Act of the General Assembly, with power of taxation, would accomplish the desired result. The result was that Col. Dickert then undertook to formulate a plan and se cure the consent and co-operation of the other citizens of his section to the proposed school district. Accordingly petitions Numerously signed were fur nished the members of the Legislature from Newberry, memorializing the General Assembly on the passage of an Act for the purpose hereinbefore indicated. Just here I would like to state that the earnestness of purpose in dicated by Col. Dickert impressed me very much. He had not only ridden to Newberry through a very heavy rain, but he brought with him carefully prepared plans written out, all of which showed that he was in earn es. After the legislature had been in ses sion more than a week, the petition for the Rutherford School District reached us, and I understand that this movement enlisted the hearty sympa thy and co-operation of Col. Dickert. Reporter: From your statements, it would seem that Col. Dickert was the pioneer in this movement for better schools for the masses. Senator Pope: Undoubtedly Col. Dickert is entitled to all the credit due to active leadership in this matter. Those who saw Col. Dickert in battle and witnessed there not only his un flagging zeal, but splendid courage, would naturally expect the best and bra-niest work in behalf of the educa tion of our children, if we were enlisted in that cause. He has enlisted the first volunteers in our county. Let us, therefore, uphold his hands and en courage his labors. Repori,er: I see from your surround ings that I cannot longer claim your attention at this time, but there are other questions I would like to submit for your answers. Senator Pope: Whenever you feel that there are any matters supposed to be in my charge. or any question relat ing to public afairs concerning which you may wish my views, I shall be pleased to confer with you. The Presleent Heard From, And the message is very gratifying. Pcof. W. M. McCaslan, President of Laurensville Female College writes with reference to Pelhamn's Pectoral Syrup for coughs and colds, and gives his unqualified endorsement of that valu1able remedy. A week or so ago Dr. Porter, of Cha' lesion was giving his testimony favorable to this excel lent medicine; this week Prof. McCas lan is heard from. And so it goes on, curing and healing all for 25c. a bottle. VAIIOUS AND ALL ABOUT.

Nearly 62,000 In Gold Stolen from John Dominick's Smoke House-Another Arrest in the Banks Case. A bold and daring robbery was com mitted about three miles from town on the premises of Mr. John Dominick, better known by the cognormen of "Lumber John," by which he, or rather his wife, lot a large sum of money. Mr. Dominick is rather an imbecile, and his wife attends to all the busi ness. She is illiterate, not knowing even how to count money; hence it is impossible to arrive at the exact amount, which was stolen. It is placed at $1,000, but the probabilities are that it was nearer $2,000. It was the amount for which 18 bales of cotton were sold, soon after the war, at 28 cents per pound in gold. This amount, whatever it was, was all stolen except $250U. Mrs. Dominick had banked her money, (all gold) in a common flour barrel. in the meat house. She did not think a living soul knew where she had it hid. In order to make things doubly secure, a vicious dog was :hained to the door, but even this did not s.tve the gold. The thieves seem to have been three in number, and by some means secured the dog, broke the lock, entered the house, got their booty and left. They did not go far before they stopped built up afire and investigated, and probably divided. They dropped or lost $13., wh'ch was recovered the next morning. After looking over their spoils, they .found no silver, and believing there was a sack of silver in the barrel also, they returned to the meathouse again, with a light. This time the barking, or howling of the dog awoke Mrs. Domi nick, who got up and ran the robbers off. She did not recognize any of them. Suspicion points very strongly towards certain individuals, and the probabili ties are that the robbers wid be caught. Mrs. Banks offers a reward of fifty dol lars for tWeir app:ehension. This is too small for the amout stolen. and we really fear that no oae will take the job for sosma I an amount. It is believed that the pa:ties are white men. The thoughtful faculty of Prosperity High School gave the children and pupils of the school a social eniertain ment at the academy on last Friday night. The occasion was a pleasant one, and was highly enjoyed by all pres ent. The faculty was present, and the very best of order was preserved, and at about 91 o'clock all were sent home, happy and benefited. Edward Paul, was arrested yesterday on the pai t of the State, and bound over to court in the sum of two hundred dollars. Mr. H. M. Dominick becom ing his security. The number of bales of cotton sold for the week ending the 29th was S. Total number to date 6,864. Price 9 cents for middlings. Farmers say that there has been en tirely too much rain for wheat and oats, and that neither are doing well, nor promising. Prosperity High School is in an ex cellent condition and is still adding to its roll. Belena Herald ings. M". L. D. Shockley, who bought a two-acre lot and cottage thereon, last saleday for fifty dollars, has sold the same for two h undred dollars. Miss Kate Bullock, of' Greenwood, paid Mrs. Kate Coates a "flying visit" last week. Mr. J. F. Kilgore, of .Washington, having occasion to go to Mississippi last week on government business, returned by the way of Helena. We were glad to see him. Mrs. Kate Coates has out thanks for a generous piece of genuine bride's cake -from the wedding of a friend. Mr. W. L. Lawson, of Cokesbury, and Miss Sudie Glenn, of Helena, were united in wedlock in this village on the 23d instant by Rev. C. P. Scott. Miss Sudie is the youngest daughter of Mr. Joseph E. Glenn. A belated freight train passed down the road last Sunday morning. The train looked travel-stained and "tired," and so unusual was the occurrence, that the thought occurred to us, "accidents seldom happen on this road because it honors the Sabbath day." Miss Hattie Wannamaker, one ol Orangeburg's lovely young daughters, after spending some time here (and part of that time in company with hei bright and vivacious young friend, MisI Mary Brantly Tarrant), at Miss Popie Rollerson's, returned to her home last Thursday. Let us hope and "work" now for faii and favorable weather for the farmers, that the series of bad crop years may give place to fruitful and prosperous seasons for us all. Miss Lizzie Zobel returned from the city of Charleston last Saturday, wherE she had gone to stay some time in quest of health, but hearing that her little brother was quite sick immediately left for home. Her cheerful, patient, quiet and untiring devotion to the little fel low, whose health is such as to demand constant care, is very beautiful. The little Bowers boys were weeping bitterly the other morning because 01 the death of their pet dog. There was a bond of affection between thenm and their devoted dog. And "pearls are not equal to the whiteness of its teeth." Mayn't it have gone to the dog star? Our village has a number of noble girls who would make royal "Daughters of the King," and while there are not many boys here, enough could perhaps be found to form the nucleus for a branch of the Y.

L. and E. L. Strauss went to Orangeburg last week. Mr. J. K. Epps, who cut his leg with an axe on the 1st instant, is able to walk again. 'i he school is flourishing with an average attendance of 25 scholars. The health of the community is good, with the exception of a few colds. School Commissioner Kibler visited the schools in No. 10 a few weeks ago. We learn that No. 10 will get but very little "public pap" this year. Well, a little pap beats no pap at all. My opinion is that if the public school sys tem were abolished, we would have fewer schools, but better ones, and es pecially less conrusion about the funds. Rev. J. A. Sligh and bride returned from Florida on Fiiday last. He filled his appoiniment at Ridge Road church on Sunday afternoon, preaching from 1 Thes. 5: 25. The sermon was an in teresting one. IHE FARMERS' ALLIANCE still continues to increase in member ship all over the county, and the farm ers are taking a warmer interest in the movement. I believe that the Alli ance has come to stay, and that it will prove beneficial i. improving the farm ers' condition intel leci ually, morally, socially and financially. The Alliance did not come in a blast. 'he farmers are not going into it through excite ment, but very deliberately. When ever you see an organization rise up through a heat of excitement, it is one of the best signs that it will soon die. The Alliance does not intend to make any ucreasonable or unwarranted de mands upon anybody, either as a buyer or seller, but professes to be moderate and conservative in all of its transac tions. This is the third time the farmers have tried to organize. About four teen or fifteen years ago, the Grange was introduced into this part of the Stale, as the very thing to lead the old farme-s out of the wilderness. And when it came, it came in a storm of en thusiasm, and the farmers all flocked to it like a crowd of negroes to a band of music. But they allowed a certain set of men come in and make sugges tions what they should do, and how they should do it, anid they in a short while made their purposes plain by gobbling up all the money that they could get their hands on and leaving the farmers with the bag to hold-and it was empty ! The Grange was as good an oganization as ever introduced into the State-outside of the Church but it was a idden to death, and it was done inside of its own ranks. Then the next efTort to organize the farmers was introduced by Capt. B. R. Tillman about three years ago. The requisite for membership in local clubs in the county was that no one could come in who did not superintend, con trol or manage a farm. But in come lawyers, doctors, preacheis and poli ticians, claiming the right of member ship simply because they had a piece of land somewhere anid an old black man on it raising gr~ass. The farmers knew Lhen that these classes were not entitled to membership. But they were too good-natured to say anything for fear they would hurt somebody's feelings and make themselves unpopu lar. They know that their righ:s have been ignored. but the farmers take 1o it so g;ace.'ally thattibe polli icia .as ar'e en conuraged to ignore them, so away went the Farmers' Club. It is forever dead, and the politicians are welcome to all they have gotten out of it. Now let the. farmers stick to the Al liance. it is composed solely of farm ers, and those ':eeested therein who are not speculators, merchants, law yers, or city physicians. or following a profession in cities or towns. The meetings are held wvith closed doors and the discuss'ons are s'ecret as in any other seetet socieiy. The object of the Alliance is for the benefit of the farme:-, and is not to pull down or destroy any other call;og or profession. But it is the intenion of the AliUance to use eve1g leg'timate means to ove. briow anything and defeat any measure that builds itself up or accumulates fortunes at the ex peose of the fa--mer. It has been already said amoag the meichants that it is no use for the farmeis to u y to pluck out the midule man for they can't do it. But all the faimers have to do is t o haug togeiher through thick and thin, ana if we don't get Lhe middle-man we will not iegard trusts, combines or lings as legiLimate. The Farmers' Alliance is a national movement. The Cannon's Creek Alliance is in a prosperous condi. ion. The member ship now numbers, iacluding the ap plicants, between forty and fifty-com posing the vei y best farmers of this sec tion. T. J. WV. The Prudent Farmer Turns the soil at the right seasons.

School getting on nicely. tj January is out and no'snow yet. Work has been commenced on Mr. ti E. M. Cook's new residence. T So far the winter has been miid and small grain in this section is looking ti fine. Some of our experienced farm ers predict good crops of grain. C School Commissioner Arthur Kib ler visited the Excelsior school last week. Mr. Kibler is certainly the right b man in the right place. Wiliie, a little son of Mr. and Mrs. C J. H. Dominick, has been ill with C pneumonia. Some few of our farmers will go to Newberry next week to join the court ing list. t Mr. T. L. Wheeler has been appoint- - ed overseer on the section of road lead- C ing from Excelsior Academy to Mr. J. - A. Rikard's residence. if the size of the man has anything to do with the condition of the road the traveling pub- Ji lic will certainly be benefited. A Your correspondent has been con- B fined to his room during the past three B, weeke with a wound received from an I) axe.

Wheeler's residence on last Fri day night. The ladies presented their nicely prepared "pound" of cake while the boys their "pound" of candy, huts, e etc. Of course we could not get there, t< but we learn the attendance was large cc and the occasion very much enjoyed.

V It has been some time since we have \\ said anything, and we feel like blowing E our little tin horn again; for we know that if we do not, no one will do it for us. n People away from here think "Beth ai Eden is about gone," but if they will give us a call they will see that we still are alive, and the little spark that is here intends to kindle up and become a large blaze and illuminate everything before long. We now have a good school, and every one seems to be work ing for the interest of the community. . The Sunday-school presented each fi of its scholars with a copy of the Comi- F mon Service a few Sundays ago.t Prof. Hawkins is preparing to have a ir new fence put around his yard. Miss Fannie Crosson has been visit-s ing Misses Rosa and Janie Spence, also v Mrs. Chandler's familf+. s Miss Sallie Sligh, of Jalapa, is visiting 5 Mr. A. C.

Prof. and Mrs. Hawkins have been i very sick with chills, but are now con- x valescent. Mr. Glenn Rikard was at church at few Sundays ago We certainly arer glad to have him back at his place again. Mr Lambert Chandler is building] several tenant houses on his farm. We are greatly in need of a store at this place. We think that one could do a good business, as it is so far from town. Very often we get out of things, and the weather is too bad to go to town for them. The widowers are going to all the pound parties, and we hear are making wishes. Do you think they will come to pass? "Man may live wi rhout art, Man may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks" POLLY. HERALDINGS FROM NO. 6. The long bridge over Little River has been completed and received by the County.Commissioners. It is a splendid bridge and speaks well for its builders Messrs. Clamp and Wicker. "Rab" Werts says that if spring does .not soon come it will be the death of one of our best citizens, as he stands at the bridge every day with a pole to keep his rival from coming to No. 6. You had better stop your foolish ness, boys, or some third party will step in and take the prize. The O'Neall bridge over Bush River is also completed. It is a first class bridge and was built by Mr. Luther Aull of Edgefield. We can get to Newberry as soon as our roads im prove enough to keep the horses from drowning in the mud. Our roads are in a fearful conditior, but it is nearly impossible to work them now. Some of the overseers have been trying to work them, and the hands after a day's work look as if they belonged to the "cooter" family. The health of the township is im proving, and Col. Maffett says th at if the M. D.'s could be mud-bound a while longer he thinks the sick would all get well. Miss Ella Sheldon, the teacher of the Dominick school, was called home Friday by a telegram that her mother was in a dying condition. Her mother lives in Oconee County. Miss Sheldon is a splendid teacher, and we hope her miother may be restored to health and that she may soon return to her school. Mr. C. M. McClung, of our township, died at Dr. R. P.

For sixty-two ~ars of his life he never drank a cup coffee nor sipped a little tea. For fty years of his life he ate no meat. or twenty-six years of his life he never ok so much as a pinch of salt. He Line of English stock, and was born that County of long-lived people, ork, Pennsylvania, February 27, 1808. [is ideas were very simple, but on the :bject of diet he believed strictly in a egetarian diet. Nature, he used to ty, has supplied this food, and it is gainst nature when man eats meats. o those who would eat meat, how ver, he insisted that it-should be eaten oiled. He used to point to the In ians as proof of this, claiming that biey were never sick unless from rounds. He trusted to no cooks to' repare his food, but did it himself. Vhen he went upon a journey he took is food with him, and only a few reeks before his death was in New Eork city, going the entire distance eith his food. He claimed that every hing greasy was injurious to the hu aan system, and of all things horrible vas a piece of meat fried. Dyspepsia ,nd all the ghosts and nightmares of ndigestion he attributed to frying. uis only drink during his life was vater, or sometimes a lemonade. He vas continually experimenting on the ubject of diet, and attributed his long ife entirely to his diet and habits. Proof Better than Assertion. With such p roof as the following let er from W. H.

I finally found >ut that it was lumnbaazo. Being entire .y helpless, a friend sent to a druggist tnd got two Ailcock's Porous Plasters: :hese were well warmed and applied to rny back, one above the other. In half mn hour, to my great delight and sur p rise, I found the pain began to abate. [n two hourslI was able to walk out tnd attend to my business, the pain be ing almost gone. Next day I was all right but continued wearing the plaster for a week, it. A clear skin adds to the beauty of a fine face, and often lends a charm to homeliness.
