By order of the County Board of Ex aminers, the public schools of New berry County will open on November Trustees, as required by iaw, should hold meetings before thbe opening of t he schools. A t these meetings every thing pertaining to the efficiency of the schools. Applications from teachers, conveniences of school buildings, &c., should be considered. All teachers e'mployed should have certificates from the County Board of Examiners or from the State Board. The efficiency of the school system depends to a great extent upon the earnestness and sympathy of trustees. I will gladly attend any meeting wvhen I can do so. ARTHLR KIBLER Highest of all in Leavening Pow Royal ATTEMPTED MURDER AND ROBBER) Mr. J. H. Crisp, of Gary's Lane, Shot Thre Tines in the Head by a Negro. A bold attempt at murder and rob bery was coumitted by an unknowi negro man at Gary's Laue in broa< daylight on Monday. Mr. J. H. Crisp, postmaster, keeps store at Gary's Lane. About 11 o'clocl vn Monday a negro man caie into th, store presumably to buy some goods and also with a most outrageous intent He did buy a few articles, looked a some shoes, and went out. He cam back into the store and told Mr. Crisl that he believed he would buy a pai of shoes. Mr. Crisp showed him on( pair, and the negro said he would taki another pair he had looked at. As Mr Crisp turned around to get the shoe. out of the shelf he was shot three time: in the head in succession by the negro The first shot struck him on the bac of the head, and ranging around :hi skull, came out on his forehead. Hi received the other two shots as h turned around, both on the sides of bi! head. The only person in the immediat( neighborbood was a colored woman a, Mr. Crisp's house. She made an outcr3 and the negro fiend ran out of tht store into the pine thickets. A colored man ran after him and found him concealed under a brush heap. The negro attempted to shoot him, anc he ran back to the store and the negrc got away. A posse of determined men, botL white and colored, who soon got new; of the terrible outrage, started in seareL of the negro. John Hunter took up a strange negrc two miles above Goldville, following the railroad. A man named Goodwir was attracted by the strange appear. ance of the negro above Goldville and when got to the store and heard about the shootnig he told Hunter about the strange negro. When Hunter caught the negro, he said "I'm not the man you're hunting: you're hunting the negro that shot tht white man down the road. A negrc named John Stevens shot him.": Tom Brock was left in charge of thE negro while Hunter went to Crisp tc get a description of the negro who shot him. and took back the colored man to identify him. The description that Mr. Crisp gavE fitted exactly the appearance of the strange negro who had been taken ur on the railroad. Everything tallied except that his recollection was the ne gro wore shoes; the negro arrested had no shoes on. Tne negro wore a red dish hat turned iuside out and a dove. colored coat. He was a young negrc about 20 years old and weighed about 140 pounds. .When Hunter got back the negro was gone. It is said he "got away." He has not been seen or heard of since. The negro intended to rob the store kill Mr. Crisp and perhaps burn the store. Mr. Crisp had twenty-five dollars in his cash draw and the negro saw it. Mr. Crisp's wounds are not serious, and he is getting along well. Missionary Elect to Japan, Rev. J. A. B. Scherer will preach ia the Lutheran church next Sunday at 11 a. m., and 7.30 p. m.

Deafness Can't be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to euro deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when is en tirely closed, Deafaess is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal cond:tion, hering will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrb, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

On Mondav next the Columbia and Greenville Railroad will begin a sched ule which has been the talk for some tille. Through trains from Columbia w' ill be put on by way of Laurens, leaving Columbia at about 7 a. iml., and arriving at Greenville at I 1:-0 a. in. 'I he trip at first will be made in four and a half hours, but as soon as the track be tween Newberry and Laurens can be repaired, the time will be reduced to three and a half hours. At Laurens the track of theGreenville and Laurevs road-coiuparatively new-will be used, the distance being -30 miles. Froni Columbia to Greenville the distance is about 109 miles agaiLst 144 iniles by the old route to Greenville that has bee,n used since the road was built. The train wi:1 leave Greenville in the afteinoon and arrive at Newberry about 7 p. m., and Columbia about 9 p. in. The morning train from Columbia will connect with a train which will leave Newberry at 9 a. i. for A uderson. LeavIng Anderson at 12 o'clock it will arrive at Newberry about 7 p. m., and i will be consolidated here with the main line train for Columbia. A postal clerk will be put on the main line between Columbi-t and Greenville. The train from Laurens to Columbia will be discontinued. Its schedule has been very convenient and it appeared to be a fixture, but we still have the C., N. & L. schedule if we want to make a visit to Columbia and return the same day. The regular passenger trains passing New berry at I p. In. and 3.42 p. m., will continue the same schedules. Superintendent Dodson has made a good change in the schedules. The new train from Columbia is decidedly the best one ever put on the road. Now, if Capt. Dodson and Capt. Childs will give Newberry a union passenger depot, we will be happy. Special trains will leave Hodges each day of the Fair at 6 a. m., passing Newberry about 8 a. m., and arriving at Columbia at 10 a. m. The rates have not yet been an nounced on the C. N. & L. Road, nor is it likely that a special train will be run. The rates on both roads will be the same-$1.50 from Newberry for the round trip, including one admission to the Fair. PEPPERMINT CORDIAL.

I don't knowv where their equal is. Corn gathering is the order of the day. The yield is good and was never better. Mr. Geo. P. Griffin has had Colony Church yard greatly improved by sow ing it down. All church yards ought to be sowed down in orchard grass and clover. Nothing would add more to their appearance.

Johnstone Academy p)atrons are re quested to meet at the Academy at 2 p. mn. Friday to elect trustees, make regulations for another year and to pay their years' taxation. Those who owe old accounts are requested to come and pay up, or make satisfactory arrangements, as the trustees have had to pay about $50 out of their pockets. We think every one who owes old ac counts should come up and make ar rangements. Those who can't pay all should come and pay a part. We think all the patrons should help to pay the deficit and not the trustees foot the whole bill. Let us all put our shoulder to the wheel and make Johnstone school an honor to the one from whom it is named-that noble mran, Chancellor Job Johnstone of ante bellum days. Your presence on Friday, October 36th at 2 p. mn., will show what in tt'rest you have for the school. We want tio proxies. Your presence is re spectfully requested. We ought to make arrangements to pay the small debt on the building and get good titles. No one is willing to help build up a school unless it has good titles to the lot.

Spence leaves to-morrow to take up his abode in Atlanta. Mrs. Spence preceded him to the Gate City ten days ago. We are sorry to lose such citizens as these good people. And still another gone. Robert L. Whites, (Bobbie), has thrown himself under the protecting wings of The State in Columbia. Prosperity's con tinual loss of her young men does not augur well for her. A few days ago the little ten year old daughter of Mr. Thompson Wheeler fell from a loaded wagon by which she sustained a serious injury in the spinal column. It was at tirst thought she might be a cripple for life, but such fears are now dispelled and she is im proving. The dry season is preventing the farmers from sowing a full early crop of fall oats. Red lands are entirely too dry to sow at all. Seed oats are worth 75c. per bushel here. A ne w schedule for both the Laurens train and the Anderson "cannon ball" will go into effect on Sunday, Novem ber 1st. .New berry will be the term inus for the Anderson train instead of Prosperity. The Laurens train will leave Columbia at 7 a. in., by way of Laurens to Greenville, and return to Columbia at 9 p. mn., thus making two daily trains from Columbia to Green ville and vice versa. It remains ro be seen whether this change will benefit the travelling public or not. Last Sunday morning there was no preaching in town, notwithstanding we have four churches here. This has occurred before, and does seem to us should be remedied in some way, so that there would be divine services in at least one church on every Sunday. The season for in-gathering has been and continues to be very fine, and the farmers have not been slow to improve it. The public schools of Township 9 will open on the 16th November next. Our County Treasurer was adver tised to be here to-day for the purpose of collecting county and State taxes, but at this writing 11 a. mn., he has not put in an appearance. What's wrong with you, Callie? YUBE. SCHOOL BOOKS AT THE LOWEST PRICES CAN BE FOUND AT WRIGHT'S BOOK STORE. DEATad. Mr. Euclydus C. Longsbore died at his home in Township No. 6, on Tues day 22nd instant, in his 51st year.
