ELBERT 11. AULL, EUITOR. LBERT H. AULL, Proprietor&. WM. HOUSBAL, NEWBERRY S. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1889., F"DITORIAL COKKESPONDENCE. I left Newberry last Monday to visit Virginia in the interest of the Lutheran Visitor. I do not propose to bore the readers of The Herald and News with a sketch of my travels, but I have picked up an item or two that may interest some. I came by the way of Washington to this place and spent a day and a half there. In this day of fast travel nearly every one has the opportunity to visit the Nation's Capital, and any attempt to write about Washington would be presumptious on my part. It was my first trip there, however, and I will say that I am sure it is worth the time and expense of one to visit this city. It is a beautiful city, and I am provoked with myself because I could not stay longer. The President and nearly all the Cab -inet officers were absent when I was there. I called to see F. Werber, Jr., Jas. F. Kilgore and Mrs. S. F. Boag, who have positions in the departments from Newberry. I also saw Mr. Wm. Welch. They all seem to be getting on well. Mr. Kilgore kindly 'spent half a day with me in seeing what we could of Washington in that time. > Of course- I called at the Postoffice Department to see if I could gather any -news about the New - toffi . Wanamaker and rkson were both absent, and I w^directed to the office of he appoint " clerk. He is a very pleasant and fourteous gentleman. I told him I wlouki like to get some in o the status of affairs at tthe Newberry office, and that if I could get nothing else I would like to .have a list of the applications on tle in his of fiee for the place. He drew a long breath and sighed, and said he supposed he would have to do it, but he dreaded the job of opening the papers in the Newberry office and he hopedIhere would soon beau end to the fight. Presently he gathered up an armful of papers from off the floor in the corner in ~ which I supposed from the size of it were alt the applications in his division. They would have filled a half bushel measure tightly packedl. It turned out to-be only the batch of papers in the Newberry office. I no lknger wndered that he sighed. He saw he could not let me see the endorse ments of the various applicants as he was only a confidential elerk, unless I Shad permnission ifrom one of the heads. He gave me however a list of the ap plicants whose names are on file for the office. I took a copy and send the list here with to The Herald and. News: >Mrs. E. S. HerbeWN *.~~Cbu*&~ Whitmire. Mrs. Enimna Hunt. A. Dawkins. Eugenia R. Turnage. D). R. Phifer (dead). A. P. Pifer. -Robert Moorman. Mrs. Jessie A. Fitzgerald. Nathan H. Bouknight. Jacob S. Russell. F. L. Hicks. Newton C. Duckett. C. A. Bowmnan. L. P. W. Riser. W. L. Waters. Mrs. Samuel A. Boozer. C. L.. Havird. Miss S. E. Dillard. Samuel N. Evans. -Ed. Y. Morris. I asked the clerk if there was not ~-emmisitake about these names being on file andCie said "no." I saw Capt. Pifer -here at Woodstock, and he says he did not put his namie on file, but had learned receitly that it was put there by a friend of- his and without his knowledge. Nobody seemed to know when the matter would be settled. Whitmire, I think, had the biggist pile of papers in regard to his appointment. He has no chance whatever. He is out of the question for the Newberry postoffice. There was some talk at Washington that W. WV. Russell was endeavoring to have B. 0. Duncan appointed post master at Newberry, but Duncan's name was not on file with the others. There seems to be a probability of Robt. Moorman receiving the appointment in case Mrs. Herbert is not retained. But I do not know much more, if any, about it than you do at Newberro. In fact by this time the appointment may have been made. I have been here in the Valley of Virginia for several days and have not seen a daily paper. .This is a fine country through here, and some of the scenery on the Balti more and Ohio Railroad from Wash ington to Harper's Ferry is grand. John Brown's Fort still stands at Har per's Ferry. but is beginning to l>ok a little old. I suppose it will soon be moved North and cherished as a relie. Cap,t. Pifer, who has been here for several weeks. eamie down to see mie Saturday afternoon. I appreciated this very much and wish I could go out with him and spend several days. but will have to hasten Southward. More anon. E. H. A. WoonsToeg, V.., Aug. 26, 1889. .There are fifty-eight applicants for two vacancies in the faculty of the -College of Charleston-thirty for the professorship in French and 'German and twenty-eight in Mathematics. The election is to be held September 10th. The trustees will have a hard time selecting two men from such ani array of talent coming from East, WVest, North and-South. It is to be regretted that this is an age -of slang, and more so when the news papers indulgein the use of slang. One of our exchanges last week spoke of a minister "making larger hauls" in re ceiving church members than any Spreacher who had. been on that circuit. ~ he use of slang is not manly. Don't nae t.Abhor it. SHALL WE HAVE ITT \ iewberry needs the (iraded School System. There are perhaps in the town, nhetweenl :'5) and 440) white boys and girls between the ages of six and sixteen, and seven or eight white sehoois of all grades. The material, then, is abundant. The system must come sooner or later, and the sooner the better, if we expect to keep up with other sections of the State. Spartan burg, Greenville, Florence, and a num ber of other towns, some not so large as Newberry, have graded schools in successful operation. But what are the advantages of graded schools? Briefly these: thorotigh organization, a greater division of labor, and a more systematic course of in struction. One teacher is not cumbered, confused and over-worked by having to impart instruction to thirty or forty pupils in all stages of advancement in a dozen different branches. There are the same advantages that result from organization, and a division of labor in every department of industry. The central idea of the system is that one teacher has charge of all pupils through a certain stage of the pre scribed course of instruction. This en ables the teacher to become an expert in the grade of which he or she has charge, and to do therefore, more eificient work. It is in part, the college system carried into the work of ele mentary instruction. Another great advantage is that it is much cheaper than the present syst or lack of system. That is t say, a town can have much schools, at a less aggregate cost he community, upon this plan an any other. Of course it woul, require a small addi tional tax ion, but the majority of those no hy-" tuition to pay, under t present iem, would have much ess to pay in the form of taxation un der a system of free graded schools. To illustrate: Suppose a man, owns $5,000 worth of property and has two children to educate. He pays at least $40 a year for the two under the present system, while under a system of free graded schools levying a 4 mill tax for its support he would pay only $20. But what would it cost? Well let us see what it would cost, organized upon the cheapest basis, consistent with efficiency. There would have to be one white and one colored school. The most important man in the system is the Superintendent, who would there fore have to be a good man. But as he would have only two schools to super vise, he could do part of the teaching in the white school. There would be needed one male assistant in the white school and three females. One male principal with three female assistants could manage the colored school. The salaries of these would be as follows: WHITE SCHOOL. Superintendent and Principal... 900 First Assistant................-. T wo other assistan ts at $30Aeach ... 600 One other assistant.................. 250 $-4250 CoLOR3D SCHOOL. Principal.......... .....-...--. T wo assistants at *250 each......... 00 One other assistant......... -............200 $li20 Total.......................--.----.... . 3...u 0 But where-is this money to come from? WVell, we get $1,000 from the ordinary two-mill school-tax; we have about four liundred polls, which are good for $400; there are $1,500,000 of taxable property in the city of New berry, on which the insignificant tax of 1 mills would raise the sum of $2,250. So that the account would stand thus: FOR sCHOOL PURPOSES. ApportiOnment from two-mill tax..........,000 Poll tax....................---------------. * Tax of 1%~ rnllls on $1,500,0-.0................ .. 250 Tot ..............................----- 50 But this is not all. After the first year we could get at least $600 from the Peabody Fund. Is there any investment that will pay Newberry better ? Think of it-a good system of graded schools for only $2;000 more tax than we already pay. Was there ever a better time to begin this enterprise ? The Fire Department tax of one mill will be levied only once more. - We are no longer paying the Three C's Railroad tax, and possibly will never pay it again. We would be at no expense for buildings. The Male and Female Academies, and the Hoge School House would answer every purpose for years to comein. Newvberry lags behind no town in the State in in dustrial enterprise and progressiveness. How long is she going to stand still in educational matters ? It was an earthquake in Greece that preceded the Charleston shake-up three years ago next Saturday. The recur rence of seismic disturbance in Greece the other day is calculated to alarm superstitious people. Now and then there is a faint glim mner of hope that the Augusta Division of the Three C's will be something more than a name. A "prominent gentleman" of Edgefield tells the cor respondent of the Johnston Monitor that the Three C's has "about secured" a loan of six million dollars from Northern and.English capitalists, and that the money would be used in com pleting the road South from Blacks burg to Augusta or the sea coast. The road, it is rumored, is looking for an outlet on the sea coast either at Savan nah or Port Royal. It's time the road wa doing the looking. People in these parts have got tired of looking for the Tle politicians in -Berkeley County have already begun the campaign for the nominations for office in 1890. This Satre should have at least one year out of two for a good solid rest from such agitation. It is a strain on the body politic and business too. The press is somewhat to blamie. The big dailies must have something every day to satisfy the cravings of their many columns, and they tell about who we wll have in 1892, and all that sc.rt of thing. It excites the minds of the small communities and they go to work ad plan who they will put forward. Let us have a rest for one year, and let that year just now be eighteen hun dred and eighty-nine-or what is left of Gen. Mahone has been nominated unanimously for Governor by the Vir ginia Republicans. Senator Riddle berger, who'edits a paper at Woodstock, says he will do him all the harm he can in he campaign. They are both of the ~ 1L.L VV JLLLtI L u _.2A~L DOES CIVILIZATION CIVILIZE? To any one who reads the daily two >r three columns of crime recorded in N my newspaper, the thought must be one, Does civilization civilize? i< The most important elements which wi enter into the idea of civilization, are, sc] ,,rotection to human life, and the settle nent, by law, of private quarrels. It pr s only in the savage state that each be nan is supposed to be a law unto him- be self, and the avenger of his own of wrongs. But the daily dish of horrors sti with which the newspaper regales its It readers, is enough to make one doubt th :he humanizing influence of civiliza- be ion. as The bloody record is not writ alone dr by the South, but by all sections of this ta great laud. Northern papers may coni- te; aent and moralize as much as they wi please upon lawlessness in the South, tb but, with slight local variations and w .urroundings, these terrible tragedies are daily enacted North, East, South pc and West with horrible uniformity. so We are accustomed to think of the m Lode of Honor and the Duel as a relic of barbarism, and to pride ourselves th upon the enlightened sentiment which has placed them under the ban of the St Law. But are we any better off? We fr( are no advocate or admirer of the Code, m but we do really believe that there were , vastly fewer lives lost ,<<er t at sys tem of settlin ivate grievances than ra under - resent. Certainly the Code u< e o modified according to Georgia ideas would save much bloodshed. fu What will remedy the- present state ca of affairs it is impossible to say, unless, w indeed, we follow the prohibitionists h and interdict the manufacture and sale in of the deadly pistol. al Our only hope is, that what we are p< now passing through may be only a tb paroxysm of savagery produced by the e: war, which will pass away after a de- sa cade or two. s< a1 The opening of the Cumberland Gap, tb which has been the dream and desire li of a generation, was attended with an rt appalling disaster, causing the death of of four prominent citizens of Knoxville,. at and the injuring of fifty others in a ca wreck at FlattCreek, Tenn.

If they are not they should be, cause they have had the opportunity attending at least one Normal In tute, some of them perhaps more. 1 is reasonable to suppose, then, that ey will begin work with better ideas, tter methods, and better judgment to how they should train the chil en ot the county. Many of the mis kes of the past will be avoided-for tchers do make mistakes-and many ld and fanciful theories will be 1 rown aside as untenable and un e. yhese teachers, then, are ready to re rt for duty, and are only waiting for aiefavorable opportunity when they %y fall into line. The teacher being ready, the duty of e people is apparent. In South Carolina, as in ios,her ates, there is what is own as a se school fund,F is fund is raised ostJ>y 'i direct tax on the people. is is the case especially in our State. other States part of the fund is ised by other means, which need. t be mentioned here. The primary object of a free school ud is to educate those people who uot educate themselves. In other ords, it was primarily intended for the lp of the poor man. This notion or tention has now been lost sight of and I people, irrespective of wealth or )sition, receive an equal amount of e fund. About this, the wisdom or :pendiency of it, I have nothing to ,y. I can only say that the free hool is a fact. A free school, pure id 'simple, can and proposes to give e children of the State only a very aited education, only enough to ,ise them above the rank and file the illiterate. With the small nount appropriated for the purpose it u possibly do no more. A school supported by the general hool fund, and receiving aid from no ier source runs in Newberry County months on an average. Is this hool term long.enough ? is the ques on which every thoughtful man iould ask himself. The answer can a nothing else than an emphatic "no." :ow then can the school term be Lade longer? is the next question-that -ises. Under the present conditions beral private subscription is the only ay to bring about the desired result. .dditional taxation might be resorted >, but such is inexpedient and impos ble at present. Were it possible I oubt whether it would be wise at the resent time. The first method is the one that wve lust look to now to bring about bet r schools and longer terms. Let us see wvhat'it would cost a per >n to have a good school in his com iunity. Suppose that the school has a enrollment of twenty-five scholars -and the majority of our schools have ore than this-and $300 is the mount wanted to' rta a-scho[l tine onths, and that the school gets $100 - the public fund, then the amnoutrt >be paid for one scholar, one year only $8, or not quite $1.00 per month. iow there are few white men in our >unty unable to pay this small anmonunt. 'here are some, it is true, but they could not beexpected to pay. If a man without a good school injms mmunity is forced to send a ch'id to shool at a dtstance from home, it 'ould cost him as much for one year 3 it would cost the entire commulity > have a school like the one men .oned above. A nother ad vantage that a long term has is, that there is sumally a better -teacher on hand. TIhe ammunity that pays the best usually s tie best teacher. Some many think iat a "teacher is a teacher." Correct. oe are as 'much superior, however, o thers as Robert E. Lee was superior > the most ignmoranlt corporal in a Con derate volunteer coim pa ny.

The women surrounded the jail and lenianded his blood. The men sent out o the surroundiig plantations for arns a nd ammunition, and threatened to bake the prisoner, Sheriff and jailor and hang all of them unless the boy was iven up. . e The Sheriff had a half-dozen deputies ,worn in and stood the siege, in the meantime sending to Charleston for help. By order of the Governor, two compa nies of white militia, the German Fusi ers and Sumter Guards, were dis- i patched to the scene of the disturbance. Tbey left the city at ] p. in., and forty five minutes later were at the jail. The woman died at about 2 p. in., having made an ante mortem state- C ment to the effect that the shooting b wvasaccidental. This, however, did not i appease the infuriated negro men and j women. The prisoner was sent under guard d over to this city at 7 p. i.; but in the c meantime the reinforcements from t' Cainhoy and the surrounding country a had come in and the crowd threatened to burn the town. t The Charlestton troops thereupon d were ordered to encamp on the scene, and will stay there all to-night.

Seven of the ringleaders in the demon- r stration were arrested about5 p. in. and c lodged in jail. It was clearly a case of accidental killing, and the bloodthirsty feeling of the negroes is somewhat difficult to understand. PEACE IN BERKELEY.
