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.

.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

parts have got tired of looking for the

press is somewhat to blamie. The big
dailies must have something every day

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<

,nths in recreation and pleasure,
11 soon be called upon to enter the
lool-rooms for the session, 1SS9-90.
l'hese teachers are doubtless better
pared for their work now than ever
fore. 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

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.

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.

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

-ises. Under the present conditions
beral private subscription is the only
ay to bring about the desired result.

The first method is the one that wve

r schools and longer terms.
Let us see wvhat'it would cost a per

CIARLESTON, August 2.-To-day
ias been one of intense excitement in
'harlestoni. At 11 a. in. a telephone -l
nessage was received from Mount
leasant asking for assistance. Mount
Pleasant is a suburb of the city, across o
he river, in Berkeley County, and 01
iear the scene of the Cainhoy massacre. fe
n 1876. The negroes outnumber the of
vhites in the proportion of about thirty a

)een cleaning a gun, which is invari- f
tbly kept in such stors.' The woman u
assed in front ofit while the boy was fc
iandling it. .e gun went off and mor
daly w <ed her. t
inoon as the news got abroad, the
iegro woman, as is their custom, started
ut on a crazy crusade. They aroused
he men, and in a moment the whole
opulation was in a ferment. The boy
an to the Sheriff and gave himself up b
and was locked up in the jail.
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. I
The negroes in this city are very e
much excited, and the lower classes are
talking boldly of embarking in small i
ioats for Mount Pleasant to go to the a
aid of the rioters.
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.

Boy one year anda half old. Face and
body in a terrible condition, beinir
covered with sores. Sulphur

Remedies.
I have used your CeTICLRA REx EDIEs In
two cases where It proved to be successful.
The first was in the case of a boy a year and a
half old. His face and body were in a terrible .
ondition, the former being completely
covered with sores. I took him to the Mas
senaSulphur Springs. but he did not improve
any. I was then advised to try the CUTI
c'RA REMEDIF;s, which I did He took one
and half bottles of CUTICCRA RESOLVENT,
when his skin was as smooth as could be, and
is to-day. I used the CUTICURA on his sores
and the CUTICURA SOAP in washing him. He
is now five years of age, and all rihtt. The
other base was a disease of the scarp, which
was cured by washing wi.h the CUTICuRA
SOAP and rubbing in the CUTICCRA, one
bottle of CUTICLRA RE:SoLVENT being used.
They have proved successful in every case
where I have advised the use of them. It is
surprising how rapidly a child will improve
under thein treatment. I recommend them
for any disease of the skin as being the best
in the world. Tnls is my experience, ani I
am ready to stand by my Jstatement.
