ELBERT M~ AULL, EDITOR. E,BERT H. AULL, t Proprietors. Wy. p. HOUSEA L NEWBERRY, S. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1S91. HOW IS THIS? We find the following preamble and resolutions in the last issue of the Oconee News. Are these resolutions the result of the po'itical light and education of the Alliance lecturers who have been doing missionary work in and around Oconee? Are our farm er in favor of any such scheme as is proposed by the Burus' ills Alliance No. lOS1? This is a great scheme. We wonder if Burns' Mills Alliance No. 103 has thought what proportson of this fertilizer manufactured under this :cheme the railroads, factories and cor porations and people living in cities and to-vs would get. They pay State taxes. But then Burns' Mills Afliance No. 1083 is not serious. It is only funning. Here are the resolutions: Editor Oconee News:-I am requested to furnish you for publication the following preamble and resolution adopted by this Alliance No. 10S3, at its last meeting, to wit: WHEREAS, Nature has bountifully blessed South Carolina with rich and inexhaustible deposits of Phosphate Rock in the navigable rivers of the State-from which can be manufac tured the highest grade of fertilizers for enriching the soil, thereby increasing four fold its productive power; and whereas, there is from 900 to 1,200 con victs in the State Penitentiary, who can not be profitably employed on.the State farms, neither can they be hired or leased out advantageously in com petition with free labor, therefore be it Resolved, That we, members of Burns' Mills Alliance No. 1083, urge, and hereby ask, the assistance of all subordinate Alliances in the State of South Carolina to de:nand of our State Legislature, tv enact such laws as will become necessary to establish a State Fertilizer Manufactory, to be owned by the State, and to be operated by the Penitentiary convicts, all such expen ses so incurred to be paid from the State Treasury, and that the product of such manufactory be apportioned tc the tax pavers of the State in propor tion. to the amnount of State taxes paid by each, free of al I charge, except rail road freight charges from manufactory to tax paver's nearest railroad station This rrsohution is published to bring this important subject to the considera tion of every farmer in our State. Th( cheapest and best way to obtain fertil izers for enriching their farming land, is of direct vital importance to farmers and to all others, who, indirectly, aro dependent upon them for support. All law should be the crystallizatioz of public sentiment or opinion. Thi Alliance would, therefore, like to hea an expression of Alliatcemen an( farmers, on the establishment of sucl an enterprise. Speak out, if a majorit; of our citizens favor it-our State Legi lature dare not ret use to grant our de miand. C. R. D. BURNS, Secretary.

We notice from the papers that tI cannery at Laurens, which only starte last season, has declared a dividend 2.5 per cent. for the stockholders. Th: is good work, and the question natur: ly arises why one would not pay well at Newberry. We would like know with what success the one Prosperity met. The building of sm: as well as large industries is one w: to build up a town. We would direct special attention the comprehensive, thoughtful ar very interesting report from Scho *Comimissioner Kibler on the subject the public scho'ols of Newberry Cou1 ty. We might properly say that it an exhaustive paper on the situatio as it is replete with pertinent, pract cal and timely hints, suggestive all! to educators, patrons and all who a interested in the important work at cause of education.

C., la THE SCHOOLS OF THE -- O 0 An Interesting and Suggestive Report by school Commissioner Kibler. tj t1 EDITOR HERALD AND NEWS: Per i haps it may be of some interest to your s, readers to know something about the condition of our common schools dur ing the year now nearing a close. I propose, however, to give only a brief statement as to their condition, and my idea as to how they may be improved. During: the past year ninety-nine schools have been in operation, all of which have been supported either wholly or in part by public funds. In a good numuer ef communities the ( patrons have helped considerably by f private subscription to better the con- t dition of their schools. The average t public term for the year has been three v and four-fifths months, but the term s in some districts has been much longer t than in others, due mainly to the r small number of schools in the long 1 term districts. It should be the aim of trustees, therefore, to have as few schools as possible, otherwise the term t will be short. SIGS pupils have been enrolled during the year, au increase over the session of 1SS9-90 of 763. This increase is grat ifying, but we hope to see it larger still in the coming session. The average attendance has been 3950, or about 64 per cent of the total enrollment. This average is rather j low and should have been as much as i 75 per cent. The schools are open dur ing the winter months, however, and the weather is often so bad that it is impossile for the children to attend school. One hundred and nineteen teachers have been at work, of whom 41 were males and 78 females; 65 held first grade certificates, 13 second grade, 4 third grade, and 19 were licentiates. It will be seen from this that our schools are fast falling into the hands of the women of our country, and how necessary then is it for them to have educational advantages equal to those of men. During the year more school claims have been pai'd when presented to the treasurer than in any previous year. Of the twelve districts under the con trol of the County Board of Examiners, six are on a cash basis and pay their teachers at the end of each month. The remainder pay only a part in cash. The total amount of claims approved and ordered paid by the school com missioner and chairmen of boards of trustees in the three special districts has been $11,090.55. The average pay of male teachers has been $20.62, that of females $21.06. The small monthly salaries are due to the number of low grade teachers employed. There are about one hundred build ings in the county used for school pur poses, and only eleven of these are owned by school districts. The condi tion of a great many of them, I might safely say one-half, is very poor, utterly unfit for school houses. I have urged trustees in many districts to better the condition of their school houses, and in several instances they have done so. They have only a limited amount of money at their disposal, however, and cannot do as much as they would like i to. The people who send to the schools should provide comfortable buildings. r During the year we have had a fair I corps of teachers in the schools, but there is room for improvement in this ' -espect, and this improvement is be - coming manifest more and more every - year. Our teachers want, and -have a right to expect, the hearty support of the people for whom they work, and when they get this support, when they find that their efforts are being appre ciated, they will work the more dihi gently to prepare themselves better for the schoolroom. Yes, we want earn ,est, energetic and progressive teachers in our schools, and the way to .get 'them is to show them that by doing a their duty they will be liberally sup I ported. The County Teachers' Associ ation, which meets monthly, has done much to improve our teachers, and the County Institutes held here have also s done much good. The teachers are more interested in these meetings than a ever before, and this is surely a sign of progre. The people of the county, aother thnteachers, are also becoming 0 interested in the association work, and e this is also encouraging. In September, 1888, the County Board of Examiners adopted a list of text books to be used in the common schools. Before that time each school L- had a right to use such books as it might think best. The County Board could recommend, but this was about as far as 'hey could go. Since 1883, s' they ha more authority, and can en a force the ue of certain books in the schools. No teacher should be allowed eto use books not on the State list, eadopted by the State Board of Exam ee iners in 1888. A result of this has been tt that the schools of the county, with ~ffew exce,ptions, are using the same text books. The books adopted in 1888 can a not be changed before 1S93. ~ There are a few difficulties with 111iwhich the school authorities have to contend, and one of the greatest is thai we have too many schools in some por. tions of the county. The best way to ee lessen the number is to make the dis d tricts smaller. Townships are now used as school districts, and the dis tricts are entirely too large, withithe ex tt ception of the four special districts. The .1- County Board of Examiners would i probably have redistricted tbe county this year, but they had no funds for othe purpose. I think that the Legis tt lature should pass an act giving the 11 County Board the authority to use v y funds for the proeof dividing the wole county, or such parts of it as they may think best, into smaller school districts. These districts should o be about four miles square, and should dd have only two schools each-one for white an~d the other for colored chil 1dren. Smaller districts are desirable offor several reasons: the trustees would 2- attend to their schools better, the j school buildings would be more com fortable, the poll tax would be mn '' creased, the enrollment of pupils.would i- be greater, and more interest in the ee schools would be felt generally. e A nother serious d raw back to popular Ldeducation in our county, is the sinall damount of money collected for school rt purposes. During the year 1889-9( tt there was not as much as $2 paid for ir each upil enrolled in the puble schools. This is not enough. It should be at least $.5 per pupil. If this much were appropriated, schools would rum six or eight months each year, anda ora shorter termi than six months can ornot meet the wants of the people. And right bore I would say that I believ. that the day is not far distant when the common schiols of I he State will s- -be run entirely by public funds. The n- . resent system is not etticient. and >)..Inust. ere long, give wvay to a better one. e. Another drawback to effective work it 1e our county schools is a coldness or in 1e direrence in many communities on nn the part ot the people. The patrons ver often fail - support their teach r,ersas they shoulid, and if any class of att people need the approval and sympatby >r of our country it is the teachers in the c ommon schools. To support and up e, hold the teacher means support of the is school, and a failure to support the t eacher means failure to support the r- Our common schools in the country *n are beginning to suffer to some extent re from a growing desire on the part ofa good many people to move to the n towns to educate their children. No ' tingan be more injurious to our coun re try's prosperity. It may be necessary to in some cases for children to be sent is to the town to be educated, but this is not often ad"isable or necessary. There re but fev communities in our county le where it is not possiule to run a good i- ommon school, a school where the i- hildren can receive a good prepara s tory education. This being the case it is the duty of the people to educat4 uc:r clfAren at home, and not depend n schools at a distance .or this prepa %tory education. I hope that the: ime is near at hand when we will see' bat in the country schools the ma >rity of the children must be educated. tot until then-will the common school ystem, which is the "hope of our; ountry," accomplish the purpose for 7hich it was established. ARTHUR KIBiER. _ _ _ - : ( Jerusalem Street Jottings. The region around about Jerusalem, as been visited by a small slice of, rigidity for the last few days. There will be no occasion for "going own into Egypt for corn" next year, rom this letrarchy, (not Bailiwick) as he crop will be ample to meet all ra ional demands. So, no opportunity vill be given to any lost, strayed or tolen Joseph, who may b:v: risen to he vice-gerency of the land of the Pha aobs to work the queer on his unso >histocated brethren for many moons. The cotton crop is short and "still a bortening" and notwithstanding all hat may be said to the contrary, the eturns from Judea will substantiate ier claims to honorable mention, for the )art she is performing in rolling up the leficit of two and one quarter millions I )f bales of cotton, as compared with the rop of 1890. Cotton will be selling on ;he streets of Newberry before the 20th )f December for 9.' or 10 cents. So con-| Mdent am I of this that I am not pick ng with both hands. Right here Mr. Editor I would like to make a sugges ion, 1. e., if my merchant is a sub scriber to your valuable paper, that you leave out of his copy, the above mentioned fact. Times change and we change with them. Time was, when the non producers lived off of the fortunes of the producers, but now, presto! change! and the misfortunes of the one become the basis of the rapidly accu mulating fortunes of the other. Want p,oof? well, take cotton, that is worth 9 cents to-day, selling at 8 and less sim ply because the financial world knows that the larger portion of the obliga tions of the farming element will ma ture in October and that lie is con elled to sell in order to lift his paper. inancial sagacity! says one class, whilst the other class, who have an opinion of their own, say, with equal conclusion financial rascality! Jerusalem is fast developing into the Pittsburg of the South, as a manufac turing center. Eleven steam enginEs are within sound of the "pallatial resi dence" of the writer, and from dewy morn 'till chilly eve, we are kept mind ful of our retrogade progress, by oft re peted whistlings, ranging from the basso-profundo of a 20 horse return flue, to the split silk y-e-e-p!!! of a "lady of colour" under full headway "a comin' thiough-' at camp meeting time. Several establishments for element ary sugar work entitle us to some little pecuniary notice from the government, unless our product comes under the head of raw material, which I feel au thorized to say would be doing justice to the article, for, if it is not raw, the fellow who eats much of it, generally Sis. Our academy will soon be in full blast under a competent corps of instructors. Quite a flattering attendance is ex pected. Come down some time Bro. Editor and write us up, and we will fill you up to the rafters with fresh corn bread, saur-kraut, roastiRg ears, turnip greens and potatoes. [Note-If you are fond of much seasoning in your rations, you had better bring along a small slice of bacon, as 9 cents per pound is slightly too rich for our b'looa.1l There is plenty of elbow room here for several families of white people who wish to settle where they will be with in reach of a good school-in a healthy section, inhabited by a hard-working tendtotheirownbuines-sobermoral set of folks. Don't let them stay away on account of poverty, if that is the only drawback, just load up and roll right in, and if they can prove that they are any poorer than we are, they will be unanimously elected by acclamation, "Tycoon of Bailiwick." As a further inducement, I would say that we rarely ever fail to have a super abundant crop of blackberries along this elevated plateau. Allow me through you to compli ment the citizens of Newberry C. H., on the evidence of progress that is em phasized it brick-their Graded School building. Such an edifice is an honor to any people, and a prophecy for their children, whbich will not fail of fulfill ment in the days that are to come, richly meriting the "well done" of fu turity. There are some incipient symptoms of pecan fever in this, and neighboring tribt s; whether it will assume diagnos tic proportionS or not will be a matter for subsequent determination, but this much I doknow, I have never seen the time before, when I put the least con fidence in the asse.: 'on that a smaller area would be devoted to the culture of cotton during the succeeding year, nor do I now, expect to see the erea re duced to profitable din.eosions, but I fear that grim necessity will soon pro nounce it "thus far and no farther," to this delusive textile that enrichesevery one who touches it, except the man who makes it. What matters it how many bales we market, fellow-farmer, if it is all required to meet the obliga tions incurred for such things as we should nroduce-and can produce at twenty-ive per cent of the price p)aid for them. And here comies in a few~ questions that we should answer as men, husbands and fathers. .Have we a moral right to pe-sist in a ourse that is wearing out our families, and entailing upon them a humiliating existence of semi-.servituide? Are we not cultivatng the animal in our chit dren-to the exclusion of every propen sity that elevates and ennobles? Are we doing what we know to be right? Is there a prospect of better times ahead4 When is the proper time to reform. Reduce the area in cotton to ten acre to the horse-plant as much of every thing else as you can, and raise plen ty of beef, mutton and bacon. Let'L have a change. L .t's help to kindle the lights in the eyes, and call back the roses in the cheeks of our helpmeets. Let's take time to make companions of our children and tell them what we expect of them, and give them both time and opportunity to come up tc those expectations. Let's set lIat down cn every man who is trying to build himself up at our expense and bold him down 'till he repents, and then help him up, dust off his clothes, anc tell him in a fatherly way, go and dosc no more. Let's - well let's do any thing but play the fool by planting toE much cotton again. H. The Tr4 alara Have The M: jurity. [Special to the Register. I CIARLESTON, S.
