ELBERT H1. AULL, Er,*T';i.. ELBERT H. AULL. ( Prcprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, 5 NEWBERRY. S. C. THCRSDAY. AUGUST 1, lMR LOCAL HISTORY. The teachers of the County and the other persons who were at the County Institute held here in June will remem ber the interest that was aroused by Prof. Morrison on the sub'ect of local history. It is an important as well as an interesting question. Very few of us know anything of the ltcal history of the town and county. In fact more time and energy is spent by the teacher usually in giving the pupils an idea of the history and geography of foreign lands than that of our own country and, as for local or town or county his tory, it is oftentimes considered too insignificant for even a passing notice, or it is presumed that every one knows this already. The fact is that few of us know anything about it at all. We hope the efforts of Prof. Morrison at the Institute will arouse an interest on this subject that will continue to in crease until every teacher, at least, is familiar with the history of his county. A good history of South Carolina for use in the schools is very much needed. But what we mean by local history now is confined to narrower limits. We have reference only to the town and county. We- have referreed to this matter again in. order to put before the people and especially the teachers the ques tions propounded by Prof. Morrison at the Institute. As an inducement to the further study of this question we propose to offer a prize for the best essay on the subject of local history, with the privi lege to publish as many of the essays as we deem proper in The Herald and News. We want to confine the com petitors to the teachers in the county. We cannot offer a prize of much pecu niary value in itself, but in the prepa ration of such a paper every teacher will receive more benefit than such as would accrue from a pecuniary re ward. Mr. ('hapman expects to have his Annals of Newberry ready at an early date, and we have thought a nicely bound volume of this book would be an appropriate and apppreciated pres ent to the successful competitor. We will also give one year's subscription to the Herald and News. We hope every teacher in the county will enter for this prize. We think the paper should not contain over 3,000~ words. The papers to be hande(ld in not later than thedfrst of January, 1890. A~ study of this ques tion will benefit every teacher and the way to do it is to p)ut the result of your research in a carefully p)reparedl writ ten paper. Send your name to the edito)r of this paper as soon as vou determine to enter this contest. Our sole purpose in this proposition is to create ani interest ini and a study of local history among the r - to aid you in the matter we will rep)roduce the questions suggested by Prof. Morrison at the Institute. Of course you need not confine yourself to this order of treatment. 1. When and by whom was this town or county settled? 2. What were its first boundaries and what are its present boundaries. 3. Tell all you know of the early settlers. 4. Name any important historical in cidents connected with thc town or county. 5. Mention its present industries. 6. Name the town and county offi cers and explain their duties. Any mention of prominent men who have lived and labored here would be appropriate. But as for other direction the writer must be guided by his or her good judgment. Will not every teacher in Newberry County send in his or her name. It will do you good. TIHE PUBLIC SCHOOLs. Mr. Arthur Kibler, the School C'om missioner for this county. publishes a letter tis week on the public schools of the county. There are several facts mentioned in this letter that should receive the attention of the people of Newberry County. The common schools of the country are the p)laces where the vast majority of the peole get all or nearly all their education. These schools arc kept open only from two to four months in the year. Trhat is, they- are run only that long with the public funds. We suppose that is what Mc. Kibler means. In some cases the patrons employ a teacher for eight or nine months and keep the schools go ing during that time and let the public funds pay what part of the salary it will and the patrons make up the balance. That is the plan that every community should adopt. The plan of running a school for only two or three or even four months in the year is almost a waste of theC money expended on it. Sonmc plan should b)e ado'pted to keep the schools open for eight or nine months. Trhe constitution of the State pirovides that the public school shall be kept open for at least six months in the year. If this were enforced and made requisite in order to get any of the p)ublie funds the patrons of ea'ch school would make up the dleficjit in most cases in ordler to secure a ;zood teacher, and the result would b'e bet ter for teacher, patron anid -h ild. The average pay of a first grade teacher is $25 a month. In many cases the teacher has to wvait for this pa for about six months or discount it to sonic one who has the monev, at from ten to twenty per cent. This should not be. The teacher shioihi receive his pa without being forced to sel! his claim at a l>ss. A larg~e proportion, of the teachers are ladies. Mr. lKibler says there is need in some eases of better school honses, and in many cases of better scheool furniture. This is important. Nothing yet has been done in the t wo new school districts set off at the last Legislature. We suppose they will get everything in readiness by fall. dr. KIb.ier is enthua..ti,- andl de,eply interestcd in i;k work. We sincerely believe that the great educational need of the country to-day is the work that. ought to be done by the common schools of the lanrd. What we need is a first class school with a first class teacher in .every cotimunity. This is a more pressing need on the people to-day than the establishment of any college or colleges. Give us somiething that will reach all the peo ple. and help to better the coriilition of all. SMALL INDUSTRIES. \e ask all our readers to read the article on the first page from the Manu facturer's Record, "Which will Pay Best ?." We have spoken before of the ad visability of a canning factory at New berry, which with a fruit crop such as we have this year would be a good thing for those who would put their money in it and for the people of the whole coun try who have more fruit than they know what to do with. Where fruit is so plentiful and where there is always a market for canned goods would it not be better for us to prepare to put it up than to scud the fruit away and then have it sent back to us in canned goods. The blackberry crop rarely fails and we can always make an abundant crop of tomatoes. Think of Georgia and North Carolina and South C'aro lina sending its rosin to Chicage where it supplies the soap factories and then the soap is returned to us, and they get a bigger profit for the soap than we get for our rosin. We do not want everything, but the establishment of small manufacturing enterprises would supply a place for the profitable investment of some of the surplus money, afford a market, for many articles that are now worthless to our farming population and besides give profitable employ ment to many of our citizens. We want the men who have the means to think of these and let us see if we can't make a move in this direction. There is a good deal of still hunting going on among the politicians in The State at present. There are coveral pronounced candidates for nearly all the places on the State ticket already, and they are all laying their plans and counting votes and getting ready for the campaign next year. Well some people believe in the adage, "The early bird catches the worm." Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, has decided to honor the requisition Of Gov. Richardson,- of South Carolina, fo Yeldell alias Rev. B. F. Flemon, who is wanted in Edgetield on the chage of murder, and he will be brought bacek to Edgetield to stand his trial. D)r. James Boyce, an eminent minis ter in the A. R. P. Church, (lied at the home of his son-in-law, near Charlotte on Tuesday. THE NEXT STATE FAIR. A Good Opportunity for Our Farumers to show What Newberry County can do in the Way of Exhibits. STo the Edlitor of The Herald and News:-In a revision of the premium list of the State Agricultural and Me chanical Society of South Carolina, for the next Fair in the sample of field crops department wa considerably in creased; and, in addition to the usual premiums offered, a premium of cone hundred dollars is offered as a first, and fifty dollars as a. second premium, to the county making the largest and best dispiay in this department. The display from a county should not be included in the individual en tries for the regular premiums offered. To illustrate-suppose Newberry Coun ty should be one of the contestants, each individual exhibit should,; there fore, show each one bushel or bale for the county display, and where the con test should also be for an individual exhibit, a bushel or bale should be shown. In other words: To compete for all, t wo bushels of a kind or bales in one bushel sacks as required, with 12 ears in each bushel in order to comn pete. I appea:l to the farmers of Newberry County to compete for the several p)remiums offred. I feel assured that no county in the State can make a bet ter showing in the various field crops than our county, and I hope that county p)ride, if for no other reason, Newberry County will enter heartily and earnestly into the contest. And in order to put the ball in motion, I would suggest that the matter be can vassed and some arrangement made for the collection, at the proper time, of the various exhibits; a list be kept so that it may be forwarded to the Sere tary before the 8th of November next. It would be well, perhaps, to appoint one farmer, at the several postoffices, or to the several Alliances in the county, and when the lists are com pleted send all in to a central commit tee, by it forwarded as indicated. I do hope and trust that our farmiers will go earnestly to work in this mat ter. I hope that thbe other counties of the State will act upon the foregoing sug gestionis. THos. WV. HoLLowa Y.

[1 From the News and Courier.] A few days ago I saw publi.shed in Charleston newspaper a card signed i Dr. Todd, of Barnwell, in which it wt stated that Judge Kershaw had to] him (Dr. Todd) that if he had been o the jury in the Mel)ow case he woul have been conipelkMl to find the sanr verdict. This statement was entirely contrar to the views expressed to ine by Jud Kershaw shortly after .the j u ry had ri tired to deliberate upon the case, an I was satisfied that Dr. Todd's stat< ment was incorrect and that lie ha entirely misunderstood what the Judt had said. I accordingly wrote to Jud Kershaw, enclosing Dr. Todd's can and asked him to write me his rece lection of his conversation with D Todd. I have received a reply froi Judge Kershaw, from whic I ba leave to quote the following: "I have never consciously formed a opinion as to what my verdict woul have been in the McDow case had been a juror, and never intended 1 state any such opinion. If I ever state any such opinion it was stated hyp< thetically and qualified by some cot dition. As you know, I studiousl avoid forming any opinion on questior of fact before me, upon which a jur ought to pass, and it is not my provin to criticise a verdict. I must assun that it is rendered conscientiously in a cases. "I expressed to you privately n opinion after the jury retired in th case. I said I regarded the prisoner i a position of great peril. That th evidence in its worst aspects woul warrant a conviction for murdei That, taking a fovorable view for tb prisoner, it would be nanslaughte But that if the jury believed McDo they may find him not guilty. Th McDow's statement was sufficient, believed, to raise a doubt. I attache no importance to what was said in in conversation with Dr. Todd, but ai sure that he greatly misunderstood mi "I adhere to the views I expressed t you and am not conscious of having, any time had any other opinion on th subject." The apologists for the jury, who seet to have derived great comfort from D Todd's statement, will now have t seek consolation elsewhere. Aaricus (t ni.:. (harleeton, S. C., July 29.

[(Greenville Daily News.] CicAoo, July27. -A special dispate from Nashville Tenn., says two hut dred people in the 2.3d district of Wilso County have banded for the purpose< driving the Mormon elders and cor verts from that county. This action hm been taken on account of the condu< of the Mormions on a certain occasio while Rev. John Barrett, a Bapti~ preacher was holding services in We more's school house. He was interrup ed by some of the Mormon converi present, who asked him several que tions and then became insolent in thei language. Members of the congregatio made amnove to resent this interferenc< whereupon the Mornions jumped ou of the windows amid dared them to comn out and fight. Two justices of the peac subseuently prepared a big dinne and invited the community at large t come and hear Mr. Barrett preach an. to give hinm protection. Every one em pecte<i that a fight would take p)lac( but the Mormons stayed away. Tb p reacher called on the congregation t know how many .would help to driv the Mormons out of thec country. I response to his invitation all the me; in the congregation, about 200, gay him their hands, promising to driv the Mormions out by whatever mean would be necessary.

BALTIMoRE, July 26.-An act of a] most unparalleled fortitude was tha of Carpenter John Myers, which wil probably end in the death of the brav< man. Myers was at work this morn ing on a building when ma gasolinm stove exploded withitn aind the dwell. ing was threatened with fire. TH rushed into the house, grasped th< stove, around which the flames were leaping, and raising it to his shouldei ran out into the street. The gasohnt poured dowvn his back and arms and soon the flames were burning his flesh. but he clung to his fiery burden until he had conveyed it where it could dc no further damage. By-standers ex. tingished the flames. His hack and arms were literally roasted and blood ran in streams fromi his burned body. There is little hope for his recovery. Engns~h Fondness for JBeer.

The sermon was fronm the d text, "Iii my fathers House there are many mansions" and was truly an y interesting and edifying one. s Sometimes it rains and sometimes it pours, and just now it seems to be e putting in a right good job of both. i By the way this has been rather a remarkable year for farming opera Y tions any way. The weather, has ebbed u and flowed since planting. First dry, e then wet, then dry, then wet again. i When dry, it was bad dry-dry all the e time. Then when wet, it is wet all the time. All that we know of the crop v now is that upland corn is now assured 4t and is good, but what will become of d the lowlands and young cotton is un y certain. We would'nt bank on either, cl just as so<m lay a wager on the decision 0 of a petit jury as to bet on the cotton ,t crop now. e Mr. A. H. Kohn, makes a successful merchant. and a good poultry fancier ? but he is badly left on his canine invest ment. His celebrated Scotch Collier, Valliantes, had ten beautiful whelps at one litter, which grew nicely and promised. a handsome return on the investment for about six weeks, when they were suddenly attacked with some d malady unknown to said deponent, and p in a short time, nine of the little dogs s had gone the way of all dogflesh, and now the last one seems to be about d ready to hand in his checks and follow in the way in which the others have L- gone. L- Prosperity is a peculiar town, with a peculiar people who have peculiar ways, and peculiar methods; so peculiar are we that even some species of the 1 animal kingdom seenw4o.indulge in e peculiarities. For instance there are e two canines in this burg, one of which will repair to the parlor upon hearing .the keys of an organ sounded, and will remain an attentive listener, and seems to join in the music, by a con ttinuous howling so long as the instru 1 ment is sounding. If the performer e plays a lively and rap)id air, the how e ling is rapid and lively, and if a slow or solemn peice is rendered his howls are in accordance. The other dog has a mania for answering the ringing of the bell of the Methodist church, r wvhenever it is rung, by setting uip a s bark. He pays no attention to the . ringing of any of the other bells, e though one is much nearer than that eof the Methodist. These canines may ibe living evidence of the Darwinian -theory-don't. know hut they may be Vevolving. The Building and Loan Association -. reports progress. Five hundred shares eare required to he taken before an or ganization can be perfected. Three hundred shares have been taken, leaving two hundred shares still un b provided for.

It heats railroad stock, bank t stock and all other stock. Right now, Swith thue new railroad at our doors is a very opporun~e time. Don't lose the golden opportunity. Act promptly. s The Master Machinist of the Rail road Shops at Laredo, Mexico, sent a Swalking stick,to Mr. WV. H. Dickert by , his son, D). C. Dickert.which is a euriosi t ty in this couu try. It is a cane or stick e whittled or carved from the cofe r wood, with a commnon pocket knife. a On the stick is a representation of tihe I"coffee bug," an insect destructive to that plant, next appears the "Mexican SEagle" with a serpent in its mouth a and the "TIorpedo" emblematic of a Mexican liberty. Next is seen a design of a species of "Frog" indigenous to e that country and climate. We have e next the noted Chamrelion, up)on which S it is said that the Mexican troops sub sisted in the City of Mexico during the seige of that memorable City by Gen. Taylor. The Chamelion is also noted for its sudden voluntary change of color-adapting its color to its sur roundings. Lastly on the stick up Ipears a "venomous varmint," the Mexican adder, with forked tongue hissing and spitting its venom. This adder not only repre sents a dangerous serpent of that coun try, but is also emblematical -of the re sistance to foreign foes. and of the pun ishiment meted to evil-doers. The whole work is imost beautifully and well executed. Besides this curiosity, Mr. D). C. has some rare specimens of gold, silver, copper and lead ores. He started with quite a lot of couriosities in the way of Mexican bric-a-brac, which the Custom House Officers thought best to remain on Mexican soil, and D. C. gracefully agreed1 to it.

We have been 'informed that there will be another Alliance organized at St. Paul's church soon. The Cannon's Creek Alliance is still in a flourishing condition. The mem bership still increasing. There are several applicants that wilt be initiated at the next meeting, which is Saturday next at 2 p. in. I stated some time ago that I would, at some future time, have something to say on the subject of misbehavior at church. This is a very important sub ject, and deserves more consideration than I am able to give it. However,.I will try and offer some practical thoughts, which I hope will be of some importance at leas* Misbehavior at church is more com mon in the country than in towns an.d cities, and is generally more practiced among our young class of boys. Now boys just such conduct as this, I have reference to, and regret very much.49 say that I have seen it practiced,[;tag considerable extent, even at the house of God. 1st.

Whenever I see boys conduetin themselves in this way, I look upoi them with pity, feeling that they havy not had the proper armi of safeguart thrown around them at home. It mus be admitted that all su.'h conduct a above mentioned is traceable to iuiiper feet training, and the whole fault lie upon the parents, and not upon th< poor neglected child. We must con sider that our children, in a great mes ure, is just what we 'make them. Ai< just as we allow them to conduct thenm selves at home, so will they tell on ai when they go to the .house -of .God Parents, if we would just consider for moment the responsibilities that resi upon us, for the way and mannrer it which we raise up our -children, we would certainly devote more of ou: time to their religious training. Le1 religion be the atmosphere by whict the child Is surrounded, the air whic? it breathes, the whole spirit of home, its order, its practice-that world ii which the child find4 himself so soom as he knows himself-this it is which must make religion appear to hinm i thing natural and se[f-evident. And this is especially important. for the mothers. It is while resting on t.he mother's bosom, and playing at the mother's knee, that the child is receiv inig impressions that are stones for the building of character. The father, of course, is not released frorn responsi. bility. He too is to set a holy example, to make impressions for go, and to use all his influence to direct the thoughts and inclinations.of the child upward. The man who does not help in the religious trainiing of his own child is not fit to be a father. But it is after all with the mrother that the lttle child spends most of its time and re ceives most of its impressions. So, in conclusion, let us have more of the spirit of Christ in the heart of the mother and father, and in the home. Let the child learn with the first draw ings of self consciousn4ess that Jesus is ,known and loved and honored in the home, and there will be no trouble about the future. Will parents make a note of this and p ut it into practice0? They will therehy bcme benefactors, not only of their children, but of society, the church, and thbe State. T. J. W. Beth Eden Items.
