School ('ommui.sioner Arthur Kibler << orders an elietion to be held in New- VS berry on Thursday, 23d of this nionth, " in accordance with an act of the Legis lature, to vote on the question of levy- e ing a tax of t wo m nill On the dollar to establish ;raded Schools in Newberry. t1 This is an important matter to the t people of Newberry, and while there y mayit be exp<eted some~ opposition to ' develop to this movement, we have no doubt that Graded Schools will be es tablishwd in NewLerry by a handsome 1 majority. Not to establish these schools 'I in our town would be a long step back wards. r I'he question has already been dis- ti cussed in these columns, and we do not propose now to do more than to call attention to it. t We have heard several persons ask the question whether or not the late n Henry W. Grady left any property to 11 his wife and children. As to the probable value of his estate we take i the following from the Augusta ('hroi- tl cle of recent date: n "It is possible that Mr. Grady's in debtedness will run as high as $75,0)O, li and that l is estate will be worth, after all claims have been adjusted, about $.0,00-possibly more and possiby less." tI The ft.nd for the erection of a ionu- i ment to Henry W. Grady has already reached the nice sum of $15,000. Sev eral large contributions have been sent tl from friends of the dead editor in the z. North. rl tl NEW LAWS. We publish this week several of the new laws passed by the late Legisla ture, which are of general interest. It tl would be well for our subscribers to n read these laws, and thus post them selves as to the changes in the laws of their State, and under which they are z to live. We will endeavor from time f to time to publish such of the new laws as are of general interest. THE COLORED sTATE FAIR. The negroes of South Carolina made their first attempt to hold a State Fair in Columbia last week. When the matter was first agitated there were two factions, each desiring to take the lead in this enterprise. This, of course, did not help matters, but on thle con-h trary worked against the success of the n enterprise. But taken altogether we n think the colored people of the State h should be encouraged by the effort ~ thiey have made and~ endeavor to do better next time. Th le presenlt effort a in some respects was a failure, but in ~ others, and when all things are con- si sidered, we should say was a success. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, writing under date of January 4, says of this effort in his I summing up: "The colored State Fair has come and goue with its side shows and sol- n diers and water q1ueenls and other ;l fakes. Thlere was a game or base tallq between two local teamls, a drill by the National Guard squad andi the award- 0 ing of the prizes to-day. It was hoped that the comnbine~d ad vantages of reduced priae of admission and more propitious weather would draw a large crowd to-day, but the niumber in attendance was event small- d er than yesterday-.f It was very unfortunate for the sue- , cess of the "enterprise that the split , amnong the mlanagers occurred. But, tc of course, the party who lost their point withdrew fronm the whole husi- G niess. and with a true 'dog in the man gel.' spirit have dlone their utmlo.st to break up the Fair. This Fair has been in some waysn very remarkable. It is the first at-n terlipt by the colored people of tiher State to publicly encourage and centra lize their various industries; it has shown that a colored State Fair can, with enough work, be made a success, and it will show to outside unp)rey niced critics that tile negro in Southt (Carolina is muILch better off' ill many t respects thani our Republican friends would lead one to think. ti Ihis is a timle for good resolves, anId, tile executive committee of the Colored t lFair should certainly resolve to have their next showv before Chlristmnas' u when money is plenitiful and spirits are good, instead of during thIe monthb of January, when about the only plenm-a tiful commllodity is 'resolves.' Let every body who has an interest s: iii the public schlools of Newberry turn out to the mneeting called for Monday afternoon to nlominate four additional tc trulstees for tIle Graded Schloois. It is v should interest every citizen. ti tl The Press and( Reporter has an Ic editorial of nearly three columns in tc reply to our article of two( weeks ago in] I regardl to the advertising ot the Probate .Judge and MIaster. There is nIothimg r new in it and thlerefore requires no n further notice fromt us. We have said ir all that is necessary to be said in this ' matter, and1 shall not waste our timleor space oni this subject, butt piro'eed, as we have endeavored to do in ithe past, to give our~ sub,seribers such a news paper as will nmeet tnleir approval and sulpport. -r he cien'.on Coulege (a,.. ii tl: ] ce [From t he~ Neiws a nd C.ou rier.] G;eneral E*arle and Mtssrs.

Occasionally allow the pupils to iose sides and nave a -pelliig natch. 14. Teach thoroughly a few of the ot iniportant rules for spelling. 1:,. Alany pupils are deficient in the elling of proper names. Naies of rsoiis and places should receive as ucb attention as any other class of ords. 16. In written spelling the pupils ay exchange papers and niark the isspelled words. It teaches them to serve closely and will make then r''e careful with their work. The adher, however, should closely super se such an exercise and should oiten ok over all the papers himself. The above was taken froml the Texas >urnal of Education, and every teach shouldh study the outline and en Eavor to put it into practice if he has at already done so. A person may ai poatirly, his hand writing niay be niot illegible, his composition may taiulty, but his spelling should be rect. The old method of oral spelling one tioes not answer, but riust be nlined with the writing exercises to oluce desired results. A. K. In the Teaclier's Institute we find e flli wing que tion and answer: s it ever correct to use the expression t is re. Aiiered: There are tnany good riters who contend that this fortu is rrcet. The old rule is that the verb be t tki s the same ease after it as be re it; and so if' gramiuar is to be fol wed, "It is wue" is wrong. But if good writers use it, then usage aii authority for saying it may be ~ed. We advise thie grammnatical is,i. The oiily qjuestioii for us to nsi<ier is, do usage and custom laejmn incorreet expression correct?~ they dio not, then we should not use if they do, then any ungrammratical pressioni may be used at liberty, ~ovded educated men inake use of it. we yield in one instance we niaty eld ini anrothIer.
