TUE CITY FATHEIS VISIST ANDERSON The Electric Lights and Water Works of That Town Investigated- Survey of Newberry to be Made. One day last week Mayor Goggans and Aldermen Wi. Johnson and Wm. Langford went up to Anderson to in vestigate the system of water works and electric iights of that city in order to help them get up their report for the citizens meeting to be held soon. T'hey were given a warm welcome by Mayor Tolley, and are high in their praise of the courtesy and hospitality shown them by Mayor Tolley and oth ers of Anderson. Every opportunity was given them to obtain all the information possible. They were greatly pleased with Ander sou's system of water works. Mayor Goggans has a letter from SIr. W'm. C. Whitner, in which he states that he will be here to-day and will miake a surkey of the town and submit a report of the cost of a system of water works and electric lights that will be suffmeient to furnish light and water for our town. As soon as this survey is completed council will be in position to submit their report to a citizens meeting. These two modern conveniences and necessary adjuncts to a live town, such as New berry, will soon be obtained. A War Reminiscence. The death of General Sherman recalls to memory how Newberry escaped de struction at the hands of his troops. A portion of Sherman's army-Kilpat rick's cavalry-made a detour through the Fork, for the purpose of destroying Newberry, the railroad and the Helena Workshops. They approached within thirteen or fourteen miles of the town, but were toiled by the tale of an old darki. sent to meet them. They were told that Newberry liter ally swarmed with Confederate sol diers. Gen. Cheatham was here with several thousand men, not enough to have offered resistance had they come. Capt. Edward Kingsmore and Messrs. Mike Bowers and Luther Riser, and perhaps others, went out as scouts and narrowly escaped with their lives, be ing shot at; the enemy having turned about to cross the Enoree did not pursue Bowers and Riser very far, but Kingsmore was captured, having al, lowed his horse to escape him. He was taken by Sherman's army Into North Carolina, but was re-captured by John stone's army and returned home, giv ing an account of the rough treatment he had received from the enemy. When the garrison was stationed in the college building in the summer of 1865 the writer often heard the soldiers remark that a fine prize had escaped their hands when they did not get to New berry before the war closed.

Notwithstanding the continuou: rains and bad cou<dition of the roa<h the trade of the place keeps well up, and our rterchans wear niee, pleasant faces. The cotton movement for the p!it week has been quite brisk, notwith stAnding the further decline in prices. There is still a large quantity in thr hands of the planters. Little bas been done yet in the way of preparing the soil for another crop.

What a trio! and all in one day. Corne, gaiii genitlemen. Eggs and news are put ifil. Thbe celebrated ease of the State vs. J. P. Bowers, for threats of arson, which has been in the Lexington courts for quite awhile, was erased from the docket last Monday by Judge Hud son. This settles a long vexed ease, though all the partles are not happy and serene. I do not desire to write a dissertation on dogs for the quality and quantity of canines on these coasts are entirely too numerous, but I would like to see a certain policeman in the town of Newberry with whom I am well ae quainted, make at least one noc,urnal visit to this place, armed and equipped according to the emergency. If he will come thus prepared, I will throw in a double barrel shot gun, an extra vial of strychnine and a week's board and lodging. On Monday night after supper I bought a fine magnolia ham, and placed it where the hams belong, without the material knowledge of the maternal proprietor of this establish nient. The next morning I was in structed to go and purchase a ham. "No, madam," I replied. "Well, what are we going to have for breakfast?" was the rejoinder. "Beefsteak, chicken and bami," I remarked to her in:quisi tive nature. "But," says she, with some warmth, "there is no hani here." "Yes, my dear," I replied, "I bought one last night after you left the kitchen. Look on the table near you." "No ham here," quoth the maternal proprietor. I looked, and lo and behold, the place that the ham had lain knew that ham no more. The dogs had been there! The door had not been securely fast ened, and the dogs had got in and curried away the coveted barn. I looked on in silence. I could find no words to do justice to the case, except that "dog gone with the ham." A search of the premises revealed no trace of said ham. "Dog gone with the ham," There was more dogs than one, for one fellow had got his head fast in a lard jar, and had dragged that jar some distance. I wish that jar had contracted just a little around that dog's neck, or that the dog's head had expanded some, any way just to have kept that dog's head wedged in that jar until morning, when that dog and jar would have both been dispensed with, I have almost sworn vengeance against all dogs that visit this estab lishment. I am not running the busi ness of furnishing hams to such tran sient boarders. They neither register nor pay their bills. I had to go and wake up a certain clerk and buy an other magnolia before breakfast could proceed. You can bet my bigger half (she Is a heap larger than I) gave me a good lecture for not hanging that ham to a large nail she had for the purpose. I tell you when I see a dog around these premises now I am not happy and serene. I am in much trouble about these dogs. "And the dog didn't bark." YUBE. MARRIED. February 12, 1891, by Rev. J. E.

About twenty of our teachers met at the Graded School building last Satur day. The association was called to order by the School Commissioner. Prof. Laird, the president of the associ ation having left the county, Prof. J. F. Brown was elected president, Miss Fannie Baxter was chosen secretary in place of Miss Alice (ozby, resigned. The elections over, the programme for the day was taken up. Miss Malle Wheeler, with a class of about twenty from the third grade of the Newberry schools, gave the teachers an interest ing lesson in primary English. The exercise was t horough>, instructive, and entirely practical. A general dis cussion of the question snowed that English is not taught as it should be in our schools. The pupils begin the study of technical grammar too early. The cour,e of study prepared by a committee, selected for the purpose, was taken up and pretty well discussed. The course, as mapped out, requires eight years. Sonie were of the opinion that it was not far enough advanced, but should include more of the higher branches, and not so much time be given to primary and intermediate work. The association, however, adopt ed the course reported by the commit tee, without any change. The school district plan was not dis cussed, as the school trustees of the county were not present. This is a cause of regret to the association as the question is one of great importance to W. K. Sligh were unanimously en dorsed for appointment as members of the County Board of Examiners. The State Superintendent of Education, perhaps will yield to the wishes of the association this time. The State 'reachers' Association hav ing decided to establish a place of re sort for teachers during the summer months, and to erect a building where the teachers of the State can meet to gether. Prof. Brown called on the members present to aid in the enter prise. Several responded, and other.-, when they see the benefits to be de rived from the work, will fall in. Any teacher, or other person, interested in the public schools has the privilege of becoming a s'o:kholder. For any in formation in regard to the matter, teachers can apply to Prof. Brown. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the association at Prosperity. A full attendance is desired. We hope that the teachers in and around "New berry will go down to Prosperity to meet the teachers of that section. Two school districts were established in Newberry County in 1888. Thts: districts are nearly square and contain something over sixteen square miles each. This year about S300 was apportioned to each of these districts from the two mills tax, besides this the poll tax was added to the fund. In one district an extra tax was raised. At twenty-five dollars per month, the amount given to tirst grade teach ers in many of our townships, there would be enough to run the schools over six months. The people of the county should think of this, and decide to make the change. An act was passed at the last session of the General Assembly which will enable the treasurer to collect a larger poll tax than ever before. Act 470, Sec. 2296, reads: "At the expiration of' the time pre scribed by law to receive returns, each county Auditor shall make out and forward to the Board of Trustees of each School District within his county a correct list of the polls returned from their respective districts. The school trustees shall examine carefully said list and report to the Auditor as soon as pm a fticable the names of all persons who shall have failed or neglected to make returns, and it shall be the duty of the Auditor to enter upon the books the names of all persons thus reported to him by boards of school trustees." The act is a good one and should be carried out. There are a great many who do not pay their poll tax, and as the polls are held for the townships in which they are collected, it would be well for trustees to attend to the matter carefully. Trhey are to look after the interests of the public schools, and should do all in their power to increase the school fund. We publish again the course of study adopted at the association last Thurs day. FIRST YEAR. Reading from blackboard aiid chart. First Reader. Supplementary First Reader.
