H AULL, EDITOI. -ELBERT H. AULL, pro WM. P. HOUSRAT P NEWBER RY.. S. C. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1S91. HOW IS THIS? We find the following preamble and resolutions in the last issue of the Ocoree News. Are these resolutions the result of the political light and education of the Alliance lecturCrs who have been doing missionary work in and around Oconee? Are our farm ers in favor of any such scheme as is proposed by the Burns' Mills Alliance No. 10S3? This is a great scheme. We wonder if Burns' Mills Alliance No. 10S3 has thought what proportson of this fert'!;zer manufactured under this scheme the railroads, factories and cor porations and people living in cities and ton.s would get. They pay State taxes. But then Burns' Mills Alliance No. 1083 is not serious. It is only fvi 3:ing. 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. 1083, at its last meeting, to wit: WHEREAS, !ature 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 increaIn four fold its productive power; anI 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 coin 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 tbordinate Alliances in tue State of Squth Carolina to demand of our State Legislature, to 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 to the tax payers of the State in propo; tion to the amouvt of State taxes paid by each, free of all charge, except rail road freight charges from manufactory to tax payer's nearest railroad station. This rts-lution is published to bring this important subj. 't to the considera tion of every farm -i in our State. The cheapest and best way to obtain fertil izers for enriching their farming lands is of direct vital importance to farmers, and to all others, who, indirectly, are dependent upon them for support. All law should be the crystallization of public sentiment or opinion. This Alliance would, thereforc, like to hear an expression of Alliancemen and farmers, on the establishment of such an enterprise. Speak _ut, if a majority of our citizens favor it-our State Legis lature dare not reuse to grant our de mand. C. R. D. BURNS, Secretary. Miss Elizabeth Bieland, a well known writer for newspapers and who made a tour of the world or rather a race around the world with Miss Nelly Bly, was recently married to Charles W. 'Wetw'ore, of New York. She is a Southern girl, being born and reared near New Orleans. Col. Tom Watson, of Georgia, is going to live in style when he goes to Washington.

We notice that a County Teachers' Association in one of the counties has decided to start a circulating library for the use of the teachers with the School Commissioner as librarian. The idea is a good one and we throw it out here ior the benefit of the teachers of Newberry Conn ty. By co-operation a very good library could soon be ob tained that would be available to all the teachers. We notice from the papers that the cannery at Laurens, which only started last season, has declared a dividend of 25 per cent. for the stockholders. That is good work, and the question natural ly arises why one would not pay as well at Newberry. 'We would like to knowv with what success the one at Prosperity met. The building of small as well as large industries is one way to build up a town. .We would direct special attention to the comprehensive, thoughtful and very interesting report from School Commissioner Kibler on the subject of the publie schools of New berrv Coun ty. We might properly say that it is an exhaustive paper on the situation, as it is replete with pertinent, practi cal and timely hints, suggestive alike ,to educators, patrons and all wvho are interested in the importaut wvork and cause of eduez.tion. MIr. Kibler's heart is in his work, and he is in the right place. WVe hope his thoughts wvill b'ear Sfruit. MR. WATSON IN WASUINGTON. Mr. Muila seems~ to be His Choice for speaker, McMiiUau Next.

An lnteresting and Suggestive Y School Commissioner r. EDIToR HERALD AND NEWS: Per baps it may be of some interest to your readers 1o know something about the yondition of our common schools dur iug the year now 1 earing a close. I )ropose, however, to give only a brief ;tatement as to their condition, and my idea as to how they may be improved. D,iring the past year ninety-nine ;choo!s have been in operation, all of which have been supported either wholly or in part by public funds. In 3 good numter ef communities the atrons have helped considerably by private subscription to bpt'Ir the con dLition of their schools. The average i,ublic term for the year has been three and four-fifths months, but the term in some districts has been much longer than in others, due mainly to the small number of schools in the long term districts. It should be the aim of trustees, therefore, to have as few ;cboois as possible, otherwise the term will be short. 6168 pupils have been enrolled during the year, an increase over the session of 1SS9-90 of 76". This increase is grat ifying, but we hl . 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 low and should have been as much as 75 per cent. The schools are open dur ing the winter months, however, and the weather is often so bad that it is impossible 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 te seen fror. this that our schools are fast falling into the hands of the wcmen 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 paid when presented to the treasurer than in any previous year. Of the tw elve districts under the con trol of the County Board of Examiners, six are oi 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 it. many districts to better the condition of their school houses, and in several instances they have done so. They havo only a limited amount of money at their disposal, however, and cannot do as much as they would like to. The people who send to the schools should provide comfortable buildings. During -he year we have had a fair corps of ;eachers in the schools, but there is room for improvement in this "espect, and this improvement is be coming me.nifest more and more every year. ')u- 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 dili 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 their duty they 'will be liberally sup ported. The County Teachers' Associ ation, which meets monthly, has done much to improve our teachers, and the County Institutes held here have also done much good. The teachers are more interested in these meetings than ever before, and this is surely a sign of progress. The people of the county, other than teachers, are also becoming interested in the association work, and this is also encouraging.. In September, 1888, C,unty Board of Examie ted a list of text usdin the common schools. Before that time each school had a righz to use such books as it might think best. The County Board could recommend, but this was about as far' as they could go. Since 1888, they have more authority, and can en force the use of certain books in the schools. No teacher should be allowed to use books not on the State list, adopted by the State Board of Exam iners in 1888. A vcsult of thbis has been that the schools of the county, with few exceptions, are using the same text books. The books adopted in 1888 can not be changed before 1893. There are a few diffculties with which the school authorities have to contend, and one of the greatest is thot we have too many schools in some poi tions of the county. The best way to lessen the number is to make the dis tricts smaller. Townships are now used as school districts, and the dis tricts are entirely too large, withithe ex eption of the fourspecialdistricts. The Count Board of Examiners would probab>ly have redistricted the county this yea~r, but they had no funds for the purioge. I think that the Legis lature should pass an act giving the County Board the authority to use funds for the purpose of dividing the whole count y, or such parts of it as they may think best, into smaller sch'ool districts. These districts should be about four miles square, and should have only two schools each-one for white an'd the other for colored chil dren. Smaller districts are desirable for several reasons: the trustees would attend to their schools better, the school buildings would be more com fortable, the poll tax would be in creased, the enrollment of pupils would be greater, and more interest in the schools would be felt generally. Aother serious draw back to popular education in our county, is the small: amount of money collected for school< purposes. During the year 1889-90 here was not as much as $2 paid for1 each pupil enrolled in the public choos. "This is not enough. It should< be at least $5 per pupil. If this much were appropriated, schools would run ex or eight months each year, and a a shorter terml than six months can-1 uot meet the wants of the people. Andi righit ore I would say that 1. believe1 :hat the day is not far distant when1 :he common sch 'ols of the State will ae run entirely by pubice funds. The reseut system is not etticient, and ust, ere lon g give way to a bet ter one. nother drawback to erfective work in 'ur county schools is a coldness or In iirence in many communities on 1 he part or the people. The patrons erv often fail to support their teae'1 rsas they sho;uld, and if any class of eope need thbe approval and sympathy > our country it is the teachers in the -ommon schools. To support and up wid the teacher tmeans support of the eo!, and a faiure to support the ejn:er means Iailure to support the -ehool. Our common schools in the country re beginning to surfer to some extent rom a growi ng desire on thbe part of a :ood many people to move to the owns to educate their children. N c-I hning au be more irjurious to our coun rys prosperity. It may be necessary a some cases for children to be sent o the town to be educated, but this is ot often advisable or necessary. T bere re but few communities in our county ,bere'it is not possible to run a good omon. school, a school where the hildren can receive a good prepara rv education. This being the case it I th W idren at home, and not depend n schools at a distance for this prepa ratory education. I hope that the time is near at hand when we will see that in the country schools the ma jority of the children must be educated. Not until then will the common school system, which is the "hope of our country," accomplish the purpose fo, which it was established. ARTHUR KIBER. Jerusalem Street Jotting-. The region around abnt Jerusalem1, has been visited by a small slice of frigidity for the last few days. There will be no occasion for "going down into Egypt for corn" next year, from this 7etrarchy, (not Bailiwick) as the crop will be ample to meet all ra tional demands. So, no opportunity will be given to any lost, strayed or stolen Joseph, who may have risen to. the vice-gerency of the land of the Pha raobs to work the queer on his unso phistocated brethren for many moons. The cotton crop is short and "still a shortening" and notwithstanding all Lhat may be said to the contrary, the returns from Judea will substantiate herclaims to honorable mention, for the part she is performing in rolling up the deficit of two and one quarter millions of bales of cotton, as compared with the crop of 1890. Cotton will be selling on the streets of Newberry before the 20th of December for 9.1 or 10 cents. So con fident am I of this that I am not pick ing with both hands. Right here Mr. Editor I would like to make a sugges tion, I. 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 ion 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 sin 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 he is com pelled to sell in order to lift his paper. Financial sagacity! says one class, whilst the other class, who have an opinion of the'r own, say, with equal conclusion financial rascality! Jerusalem is fast developing into the Pittsburg of the South, as a manufac turing center. Eleven steam engins are within sound of the "pallatial resi deuce" of the writer, and from dewy morn 'till chilly eve, we are kept mind ful of our retrogade progress, by oft re peated whistlings, ranging from the basso-profundo of a 20 horse return flue, to the split silk y-c-e-p!!! of a "lady of colour" under full headway "a comi' 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 conies 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 is. 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 ou up to the rafters with fresh corn read, saur-kraut, roasting ears, turni greens and potatoes. rNote-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 blood.'1 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, inhaboited by a hard-working tend-totheir-own-b A . dess-sober-moral 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, "Tcoon of Bailiwick." As a further inducement, I would say that we rarely ever fail to have asuper abundant crop of bledw i aong this eev fiteau. ..-io'me through you to compli ment the citi:zens of Newberry C. H., on the evidence of progress that is em phasized in brick-their Graded School building. Such an edifice is an honor to any people, and a prophecy for tneir children, which will not fail of fulfill ment in the days that are to come, richly meriting the "well done" of fuL turity. There are some incipient symptoms of pecan fever in this, and neigh boring tribe s; whbether it will assume diagnos tic proportions or not will be a matter for subsequent determination, but this much I do know, I have never seen the time before, when I put the least con fidence in the assertion 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.ensions, but I fear that grimi necessity will soon pro nounce it "thus far and no farther," to this delusive textile that enriches every 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 uroduce-anld can produce at twenty-ive per cent of the price paid 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 course that is wearing out our families, and entailing upon them a humiliating existence of sei-iservitude? Are we not cultivating the animal in our ebil dren-to the exclusion of every propeni sity that elevates and ennobles? Are we doing what we know to be right? fs there a prospect of better times ahead?~ When is the proper time to reform? Reduce the area in cotton to ten acres to the horse-plant as much of every thing else as you can, and raise plen ty f beef, mut ton and bacon. Let's have a change. Let's help to kindle the ights in the eyes, and call back the cosm. in the cheeks of our helpmeets. Let's take time to make companmons f our children and tell them what weI xpect of them, and give them both| :ime and opportunity to come up to :hose expectations. Let's set fiat down n every man who is tyntobild1 imself' up at our expense and hold him down 'till he renents, and then yelp him up, dust otT his clothes, and :ell him in a fatherly way, go and do so o more. Let's -- well let's do any :hing but play the fool by planting too nuch cotton again. H. The r .;uiars Have The 31: jority. [Special to the Resister. (UIAKLysrON, S.

In pursuance of the above resolth tions, we request you to appoint at your earliest convenience representa tives from yourorganization and notifv them of their appointment. We de sire as full a representation as possibc, as the questions to be discussed are la the greatest importance to the cotton growers, and it is hoped that such methods will be derived and adopted as will be of great benefit to all whc grow and handle cotton. It is further requested that you ap point froni your representatives per sons to open the discussion on the topics suggested in the above resolu tions. * * * J. 0. WADDELL, Chairman. W. L.
