A The Work of the Rain-Transportation is Stopped-WasIhouts in the Railroads. Newberry has not yet adopted that system of water works and electric lighos, but during the past few days * .he has had an abundant supply (f w,va t "". On Saturday afternoon and night there was a heavy rain fall. Sunday morning the lowering clouds partially disappeared, but in the afternoon the rain again descended in heavy torrents and continued nearly throughout th entire night. The streets were washed in ditches and gulleys, and Scott's Creek covered the bottoms above the railroad crossing, as it was wont to do before the culvert was removed. The f dwellers in the houses in the bottom were warned about one o'clock on Sun day iight by the rapid rise of the water that tliev would have to move out for their safety. This they did, sonie wad ing through the water waist deep in order to reach dry land. The streams throughout the county were much swollen, but at this writ inr we are unable to give the damages to the county in the way of bridges washed away. The bridge at Godfrey Harmon's on Bush River is gone. The Werber's -Mill bridge has been injured, although not entirely washed away. Lindsay's bridge on Bush River was moved out of position, still persons were eromsing on Tuesday. The water was over the banisters of the bridge at Mendenhall's mill, but it remained in position. Other bridges no doubt have been more or less injured. THE RA TLROAD WASHOUTS. Newberry with her ten daily passen ger trains finds it a little inconvenient to come down to one or two a day, yet such was -ur fate this week. The new schedule on the Anderson train went into effect on Monday, and on that morning came through frc,rn Columbia, giving us Columbia's mor ning papers at 8 o'clock, but the train got no further than Dyson, for when it reached that point it found the track about five feet under water. The track at several other places between here and there was also submerged, and we have had no train from Greenville this week. The train returned to Columbia Monday night, but did not venture out Tuesday morning. The old Laurens went through all right. The up passenger came to New berry and returned. On Tuesday morning the passenger train from Columbia started, but when it reached a point about twelve miles from Columbia a trestle gave way and the engine and mail car were turned over in a ditch. No one was hurt. The mail and passengers were trans ferred to the Laurens train, and it re turned to Newberry about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This wreck was cleared and the Anderson train came through yester day morning. It will be some days yet before the trains can make their schedules. On the C. N. & L. railroad there was a small washout about two miles below New berry, and the train for Columbia did not leave Newberry until one o'clock on Monday. On Tuesday*this train ran off at Prosperity and was delayed several hours. Accounts of the freshets elsewhere are published in another column. The Saluda wa as full as it was in 189, but Broad River seemis not to have been so high. At last accounts the rivers wvere gradually falling, and if the rains cease there will be no further damage. The damage to the railroads will be heavy. The C. & G. has had no freight this week, except one that came from Columbia on Mionday morning, and is still at Newberry. The trains passed through yesteeday (Wednesday). The train from Green ville reaching Newberry late in the afternoon. T1he Richmond and Danvill people have been very prompt in repairing damage and getting their trains through.

Cold weather has returned, although the peach trees are in bloom. We hope the fruit will not be killed this year. The farmers are at work ploughing and cleaning up. It makes it look like spring sure enough to see the ground turned up. Gardens are looking nice. Nothing up yet, but the seed is in the ground and wvill be up soon we hope. We are on the improve as usual. Prof. Hawkins has finished his yard fence and has a nice new gate swung in front. It has improved the looks of t.he place, but we don't like to have to stop to open andl shut a gate every time wye go to call. He also has had a new dwvelling erected on his place. It is now occupied by Rev. Caldwell (colored.) Mr. Wicker has fenced in a large field just aibove the Half-acre. Really we are on a boom. Our school is getting on nicely. We are very cormfortable in warm wveather, but when a cold snap comes we shiver and huddle close around the stx -e. T wo of our young ladies are ri.Kying music-Miss Mallie McCullotg!i and Miss Julia Folk. They are studious young ladies, and will, wve have no doubt, become splendid performers in the near future. Miss Fannie Chandler left for Pros perity last Saturday. She will visit Mrs. Bedenbaugh, a few miles belowI Prosperity. We hope she will have a pleasant visit and return soon, for our village is quite sniall, consequently we miss every one who is absent a few days. We have all had La Grippe, but have about recovered, and are now p)re pairedl to sympathize with those wvho are sulf'ering from it. Mrs. Hawkins has got in her spring goods, and is nowv kept busy waitingI on customers. t Hearing some oneC sing, ''Oh where, oh where has my doggie gone"? re miinds us that several of the (logs of our I community have suddenly disappear-t ed.

Chifles, Crratid Chaplain The sermon was of great niportance and was enjoyed by all. Rev. Chiles apparen tly attracted spe cial notice, being a man weighing some thing over three hundred pounds. The ocvent ion voted that a photograph of Mr. L. Duckett, the founder of the "Future Progress Society." of South Carolina, be taken and thateach Lodge should possess one of them. The annu .i address delivered by N. C. Duekett, General Traveling Agent, at 7:30 p. in., subject, "The organiz:ttiou and work of the Future Progress Society, of South Carolina, for twelve years," was one of the most important and int erest ing talks in the convention. It was enjoyed by all. The report of L. Duckett, Gran.d Treasurer, shows the financial condi tion of the lodge to be better than it has been for some time. His receipts show that $1S.25 for assessie 's, and $298.50 to pay incidental expenses have been collected. The receipts of Treasurer Duckett show that S2,571.2.- have been paid to beneficiaries from March 5, 1885, to March 5, 1-i1. This is a benevolent organization and is doing a great work for its members. The reports of the local lodges show a great increase in membership this year. Mrs. Harriet Herbert and Mrs. Bird, of Newberry, and Mrs. N. EllenYoung, of Spartanburg, all made fine speeches in the convention,which show the lady members are doing a good work.

Some snow and sleet fell here on Thursday arternoon. Owing to the season of year our school remains full. Sorry to learn that Mrs. Lucy Lake is again confined to her room very ill. Mrs. Sallie Kinard is still lying at her daugh ter's in a low condition. Mrs. Kinard is an aged lady of eighty..five summers, and there is very little hopes of her recovery. Mr. James Crosson, of Lewiedale, spent a few (lays here last wveek. Mlessrs. Edgar and Carrol Shealy, of St. Paul's community, spent Saturday night with friends in this neighbor hood. The overseers of public highwvays in this neighborhood are trying to put the same in better condition this week. Owing to the abundance of rain it seems to be a difficult matter to im prove the roads much. Rain! rain! Yes, we have been hav ing an abundance of rain and the aver age farmer is getting badly behind dith his work, but let us all try to re main happy and cheerful. It seems strange to see the A nderson train passing by us this week, as she now makes her run from Columbia to Anderson and return each day. Such a kind act upon the part of the railroad authorities will certainly be appre eiated by the public generally. The old reliable Laurens also passes through our quiet little community just the Sanle. MIarried, on last Thursday afternoon. at Mir. Henry Smith's residence, by IRer. .T. A. Sligh, 3Mr. John C. Griffin and Mliss Rebecca Smith. We learn the occaision wvas a pleasant one, how ever, only a few imvited guests were present. On Friday evening a goodly number in this community gathered together and gave the happy couple a :-heering serenade at the groom's resi Jlence near here. which was enjoyed by b,othi parties. Thus another one of our younIg men has joined the matrimonial in that binds, and yet there are more to follow. We wish the happy couple r long and happy ,journey through life, md so mote it be.

Garlington Returns Home on Wounded Farlonh-Arter a 1irler VI-it to his Family. he wisl Spend Some Time in Charleston on Recruiting Service. SPARTAN1'URG, March 10.-lIut. . A. Garlington, of Arctic and Indian war fame, passed through here to-day for his old home in Newberry, where his family are now residing. He still wears his arm in a silken sling, where it has been since lie was paintully wounded by Indians at Wounded Knee Creek in .Jaiuary last. Lieut. Garlington looks well, but seemed considerably fatigued from his long trip across the Plains. He will stay in Newberry for one week, antd will then go to Charleston, where he will stay perhap! for three months. The objects 6f his vi.it, there will *be to in vestigate the advantages possessed by Charleston as a recruiting station. To this duty he has beeni assigned by the war department, and it will take sonme time to investigate and report. At pres,-nt Lieut. Garlington is on a wounded furlough. Speaking of the Wounded Knee 1lght, he said to me that Capt. Wallace and all the soldiers acted heroically. Before returning to his command' Lieut. Garlington will probably visit his relatives in Laurens and other cOUlities.-SpeCial to News and Courier. Lieut. Eariest Carlington reachiled Newberry on Tuesday night on the Laurens train, arriving at 2 a. i. Opera House. The New York Theatre Company gave their first performance in the Opera House on Monday night. Tie play, "Man and Master,'' was a good one and well rendered by the Con pany. On Tuesday night they pre sented "Jack's Sweetheart" which was enjoyed by a large audience. To-night (Wednesday) they will present the popular play entitled "Hit or Miss." If you want to see a first class perfori ance go to the Opera House to night. This Company is one of the best that has been here this season and should have good houses. To-morrow night they will play "Galley Slave." The prices are low enough for everybody, .50, 3.5 and 25 cents. Don't fail to see "Hit or Miss." The New York Theatre Company will remain here the entire week, giv ing a change of progroiime every night, also a matinee on Saturlay af ternoon. The Fitzpatrick Company gave a very poor rendition of "Rip Van Winkle" to a very small house on Sat urday night. For Sale. A first classs Chickering Piano. In good repair and well tuned.

The following members were present, every township being represented ex cept No. 7: Township 1--H. H. Folk. Township 2-A. J. Gibson. Townhip3- E S.Keitt. Township 4-R. C. Cariisle. Towvnship 5-1). W.

Croier, au ditor, acting as secretary A report was received from the diff'erent townships by the ..iembers. The basis of valuation of first-class Er..ck was fixed at $100, but very few ciianges were made in the returns. Inii Township No. 3 the niinimum re turns for household go,ods was fixed at ;15. In the other townships there was no mininiuni amount fixed, the returns being left as made by the individuals or as raised or lowered by the various township boards. In regard to the return made by the Newberry Bank the board desired all the information it could obtain, and on motion, Mr. R. L. McCaughrin, presi dent, was requested to appear before the board. He did s-, and after thor oug1ly canvassing the situation the board decided unanimously to leave the return of the Newberry National Bank as made by the president. The stock is returned at par. rhe auditor will make a statement to the comriptroller-geteral in regard to the action of the board on the bank re turn. The board, after having spent a day of hard work and having accomplished nothing, drew its pay and adjourned. We mean by this simply that bosrds of equalizatious are a useless expense. Inasmuch as the member from No. 7 was absent, the board authorized the auditor to canvas the returnsand e(ual ize theni with the as.sssents in other townships. The auditor informs us that it is his opinion that the returns this year will be largely in excess of the amount of last year's returns. TEACHERS' COLUMN. School Districts. It seems that if we are to have the County cut up into smaller districts we will be forced to wait until the next meeting of the (eneral Assembly. The County Board of Examiners have the right to form as many districts as they think proper, but at the same time they cannot redistrict the county with out the means to do so. The last ad vice that the commissioner has receiv ed is that it is doubtful whether money can be used for the purpose without special legislation. There are some portions of Newberry County that could be made into small districts with great benefit to the schools. There are other portions where it wouid not be of so much benefit. The County Board of Examiners. however, will entertain propositions from any community to form its-If into a district, should the district to be formed not injure materially the pros perity of schools already in operation. Teachers' Institutes. At the Teachers' meeting at Pros perity on next Saturday the question of holding an institute this summer will be discussed. We have already had two institutes in Newberry County, and those who have attended feel that they were bene fitted. We want trained teachers in our schools. WVe want teachers who under stand their work, and who are willing to perform it faith fully. Ex perience is a great teacher, it is true, but we can learn a great deal from the experience of others, and this will make our work the easier. If every teacher in South Carolina could attend a training school one year or more it would be a great help to our comnmon school system. This cannot be done, however. For those who cannot attend these training schools and they constitute the great majority -the in-titute is held. Let us all go to prosperity and give the association our approval of the in stitute this summer. Thorough WVork. The average pupil may have finished a number of books in his school course, but this often gives us no idea as to the extent of his education. He may have gone over the school course in such a way that his work is unsatisfactory and almost a failure. One reason-and the main one-is that the prinmary work.has been done in an unsatisfactory manner. The p)upil has been carried too rapid ly through the primary grades. He has not been taught to be thorough in earlier school days. Perhaps, as is very often the case, the lessons assigned have been too long-of such length that he could not prepare them thor oughly, consequently he feels discour aged. The teacher should insist upon thorough preparation, and in order to have this. the work assigned must not be too difficult. Let the pupils know what they go over, though it be but little. A little well done is better than -t great deal poorly d ne. The public schools in some of the townships have closed. They have been in operation only three months. The reason f this is that in these town ships wheae the terms are longer there is a large number of children and not so many schools. In those "commnities where the schools have run only three mouths it wVouldl be well for thme people to supple nment. the public fund and run the schools six months, or even longer. We are glad to know that in a great manny instances they are wvilling to do thus. A term of three months otily doets not meet the demand. We learn that Mr. E. 0.
