WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-A new Richmond has entered the field as an aspirant for the office of collector of internal revenue for South Carolina. He is Alan Johnstone, of Newberry, a brother of Ex-Congressman Johnstone. So bitter is the contest that there seems but little prospect of a speedy and ami cable settlement of the question. In this contingency Col. Jas. L. Orr, of Greenville, has forwarded the applica tion of Mr. Johnstone as a compromise candidate. Both gentlemen are trustees of the new $tate Agricultural College and have been thrown together con siderably. It is urged in support of Mr. John stone's claim for recognition that he is sin honest, straightforward Democrat, and further that he is and. always has been a staunch Conservative. Both of the leading candidates for the appoint ment have been advocates of the "Re form" movement. Mr. Perry, who is the choice of Senator Butler, and who has, been confident of the nomination from the beginning of the struggle, and Mr. McCalla, who has the backing of Senator Irby, were Tillman delegates to the Chicago Convention. Mr. John ~tne has never been allied with the " oform movement," and this fact, with several others, forms the basis of the arguments o his friends who are seeking his appointment.-Special to News and Courier.

On last Tuesday night Mr. V. C. Wil son had about three bales of cotton and 83 bundles of fodder burned. The cotton and fodder were in an outhouse on the place of Mr. Burt Neel in No. 7 Township. The dwelling house in which Mr. J. D. Pitts lives was near by and caught fire, but was saved with little loss. The fire caught about 12 o'clock and. as there was no fire about the place during the day before it must have been from some accidental cause, but Mr. Wilso.n does not pretend to know how the fire originated. There is no reason for any one burning the house, for there was nothing to be gained thereby. Full line of Domestics at DAVENPORT & RENwiCK'S. Treasurer's Annual Settlement. Gen. W. H. Ellerbe was in New berry last week for the purpose of making an annual settlement with Treasurer Boyd. Mr. Boyd has been ready for his an nual settlement since last May, but owing to the illness of Mr. Ellerbe he has not been able to get around and ence the settlement has not been made. Under a change in the law the Comp troller General now visits the different countier, and the settlements are made in the preseace of the Chairman of' the County Commissioners and the fore man of the grand jury. Treasurer Boyd had all his papers nicely arranged, and the settlement was a very easy and satisfactory thing. The year for which the settlement was made ends with October 31st of last year, and the amounts paid out are for the year ending at that date. The settlement sheet showe that the treasurer paid out as follows: For Ordinary County.......$13,72.55 Interest R. R.

The payments made since the first of last November will appear in the next settlement. A Million Friends.

THE NEWVBERRY GRADED SCHOOLS. Report of the Board of Tru*tees-Four Trustees Electcd. It takes considerable interest to get up a good sized citizen's meeting in New berry. The meeting called for last Thurs day, though of importance to every man in town, was atteded by only a very few. But then they can all read what was done in the newspapers. The object of this meeting was to hear the report of the Board of Trustees of the Newberry Graded Schools, and also to elect four members of the board, for two years, the others being life members by act of the Legislature. Hon. Geo. S. Mower was made chair man of the meeting and Mr. J. W. Bar hardt secretary. Dr. W. E. Pelham, the. sc-retary of the board, then read the re port of the trustees, which was as follows: REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. The Board of Trustees of the Newberry School District in presenting their annual report, realize that the work of the scho lastic term ending June 12, 1893, did not differ essentially from that of preceding years; the character of the exercises one year is practically that of any other year, which, of course, it is the hope and pur pose of the Trustees to popularize the schools by the adoption of systems and methods considered the best by the wisest authorities in Graded School work, in order to the highest development or ad vancement of the pupils in practical as well as theoretical knowledge. In other words our desire is to firmly establish a syen, of schools in Newberry which will not, a. I we believe does not, now suffer by comparison with the schools in cities and towns where edicational progress grows apace. We have in our schools the same number of grades as formerly and a like number of teachers as have heretofore been employed. We maintain that we have so raised the standard of the schools that they are completing the full course and receiving a certificate of graduation, is thus fully equipped for en trance to colleges of higher grade without further preparation for all courses except those requiring Greek. And we may well add that in these times of enforced econ omy it were desirable to attain that de gree of efficiency in the schools by which additional expense to parents may be avoided, such as are usually incurred by attendance upon fitting or training schools. AS TO SEVEN MONTHS SESSIONS In respect to the public school fund and the Peabody fund, our schools have suffered losses from these sources to such extent the past year as required the short ening of the session from nine to seven months. True the schools were open during nine months of the year, but two of these were upon funds voluntarily con tributed by the patrons of the schools. This community has been made aware of the causes leading to the short term by a statement from the secretary, appearing in the public press of Newberry last March; lest, however, this matter has escaped at tention, some excerpts from the repolt are herewith subjoined: "The legislature of 1892 amended the law relating to the apportionment of the school fund, which the two mils consti tutio-i.d tax yields, making enrollment instead of average attendance the basis of distribution. By this change the Graded Schools of Newberry are deprived of a revenue amon.ing to $350, which sum the Boardof Tistees confidently expected to secure by reason of the improved aver age attendance of the pupils. We do not profess to understand the wisdom of the amendment; certain it is that it operates greatly to the disadvantage of this commu nity in its school interests. In addition to this loss, the schools are no longer bene ficiaries of the Peabody Fund, that going into other channels, by direction of those who control it; the amount heretofore received was $300." BOND TAI MATTER. Another matter we desire to present to the citizens is the debt contracted in the erection of the building heretofore re ported to you. To coroplete and pay for the work the trustees found it necessary to negotiate a' loan from the National Band of Newberry, S. C., for which the Board pledged its personal credit by sig nature. There is now due a fraction over $1,200. The citizens of the town here assembled are now asked to author ize, by resolution, the Board of Trustees to~ apply so much of the excess after pay n.nt of interest on bonds each year ac cruing as may be necessary to liciuidate this debt. The act of the Legislature under which our schools were established does not inv..t the Trustees with thib authority, but it is held that the citizens in mas meeting can clothe them with the power desired. Thus the property in a short time will be fully paid for, and the Trustees relieved of a debt. which they are carrying for the community in their official capacity. ATTENDANCE AND TUITION FEES. The Superintendent in his annual report shows the total enrollment of pupils for 1893 was 802, a number greater than 1892 session of 52. Of these 418 were white and 386 were colored. The receipts for tuition fees for the seven months session were $310.00 Durig remaining two months when schools were supported altogether by. voluntary sums, the fees at tached were................................ 510.68 Tota1.......................... 8620.68 RESOURCES-sPEER'S REPORT.

We also call your attention to the fact that four trustees are to be elected this day by the citizens, as provided for in the act of the Legislature. W. B. PELHui, Sec'y pro tem. Aewberry, S. C., September 21, 1893. The report was adopted. The following was also adopted: Resolved, That the Trustees be and are hereby authorized to use the excess of the interest tax, after paying the an nual interest each year, towards liqui dating the debt of the National Bank of Newberry, S. C. On motion of Mr. J. M. Johnstone, the following was adopted: That the Board of Trustees be author ized and directed to take such action in regard to the recent change in the school law making change from average attend ance to enrollment, as in their judgment may best serve the interest of the school. The next business was the election of four trustees. The following gentlemen were nominated and unanimously elected: L. M. Speers, Alan Johinstone, Dr. W. E. Pelhana and Dr. J. K. Gilder. The question of raising money to com plete the school building and improve the grounds was discussed. Mayor E. C. Jones moved that the matter be referred to the trustees and that they call a special meeting of the citizens to pass upon the proposition of levying a small additional tax, said meeting to be called prior to the assembling of the next Legislature. The meeting then adjourned. The Modern Beauty Thrives on good food and sunshine, with plenty of exercise in the open air. Her form glows with health and her face blooms wtith its beauty.

Prof. Evans has been busy enrolling pupils aid getting the machinery of the school organized for work. The teachers this year are all new ones except Miss Eloise Welch, who was in the school last year. It is an insperation to see so many fine looking children together prepar ing for the battle of life' The teachers are all fine looking and have the ap pearance of being well equipped for good and solid work. The number of children enrolled in the white school was tip to yesterday morning 261 and at the factory school 30, making a total of 291. In the colored school 133 had been enrolled. The attendance will be in creased very much in a few days. The following are the teachers with the grades to which they have been as signed: Prof. Frank Evans, 10th grade. Prof. B. L. Jones, 8th anud 9th grades. Miss L. S. O'Neale, 7th grade and section of the 6th grade. Miss Eloise Welch, 5th grade and section of the 6tb grade. Miss C. M. Godfrey, 4th grade.

Butler with Lula Reese and - - Butler, assistants. The pupils are not expected at the building until after 9 o'clock. The bell strikes nine and then rings. From that until half past nine the pup Is are expected to come. At half past nine there are three strokes of the bell, which means that work is to begin. Newberry should be, and is, proud of her schools. To make this work this year a success the parents should hold up the hand of the teachers and give them their aid and encouragement and there will be no cause for complaint about the work accomplished.

Make hay while the sun shines, is a good motto, and there has been a good deal mowed this week. Some of our sick, we are glad to say, are better, while some are still quite sicik. Since the last week of fine weather for picking cotton the most general complaint is in the back. Well, well, we see in The Herald and News a notice to overseers to put not less than six days work on the roads, and make returns not later than Oc tober first. All who are behind will be prosecuted. Wouldn't we hate to be an overseer now, and from one to five days yet to put on the road. Better work boys and save trouble. You have one week yet. We hear the sound of the steam whistle in all directions preparing the hard earned fleecy staple for market. Well, a little better than we expected, 7k cents. When Mr. B. F. Cannon started to ginning the other day with a steam boat whistle on his engine, some of us thought it was a circus coming down the road with a steam piano. We heard one fellow say he thought it was Gabriel that had-started out with his trumpet. With a week or two of just such weather as we have bad for the last ten days there will be but very little frost bitten cotton, unless we have an extra early fall. Are these not strange times ? A baby born in the White House. We are sorry that The Herald andt News and Mr. J. T. Duncan have got on a little controversy. Hope it will all come right when it is washed, so' as to wash away all bad feelings. There are a great many things that look bad, but let us not fall out about them. Rumor says our school teacher is a splendid cotton picker; he tried his hand this week. Some of our older farmers say there is more grass on the ground now than they ever saw.

There is always a dead calm before a live storm. For some time past the waters that run the postoffice "mill" at Newberry have been silently rip pling along in the sunshine, with only the faintest sound of a gurgle, accom panied by a giggle, as some transient aspirant and fellow-traveler, in the weary desert of his life, would stand on the sandy bank and "view the landscape o'er" long enough to throw in his pebble of au application for a permanent lodgment and watch the circle as it extended to the shore. But the murmuring rivulet on its way to the Potomac is getting a little mud died. It seems quiet enough ("along the Potomac to-night") to-day, at this end of the live; but the storm is brew ing-and after it has "brewed", it will not be as pleasant as "the beer" to a good many people in this immediate Palmetto vicinity: for the mill can only be for one grinder, and there are twelve or more persons-male and fe male-waiting, watching, yearning, hoping, longing, scratching and pray ing to wear Bob Moorman's old shoes and do the grinding for Gen. Delivery after Bob gives up the phost-'though some of them may no more be compe tent to run the office than the tradi tional Thompson's colt is to sit in the chair of Exegetical, Systematic, His torical and Practical Theology in the Theological Seminary of the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the South at Newberry. The thing definitely settled-judging from external appearances by one who can't get an insight into the internal arrangements-is that Mr. Moorman will hold his position until the expira tion of his term, which will be in April, 1894. That fact has been un ders ood, and is the explanation of the ,silence prevailing among the opposing camps of the outs. But-and it is a significant but-there has been secret, underground work going on all these months, known only to the Initiated, and of which the uninitiated only oc casionally got a sniff as some anxious and impatient "mule" pawed the air in his eagerness to "scent the battle afar off." However, as the time draws nearer for the new appointment-al though a good little way off yet-the preliminary skirmishes are arranging; and when the storm bursts, the polit ical clothes of the said dozen Newber rians-male and female-will be seen flying in the air in all directions, for the waters that run the Newberry "mill" will by that time be angry and swollen, and blown over the banks and mught tap in tht s by thle wet winds, and all but one of the aspiring aspi rants shall shiver in the April showers whicn will bring no May flowers to them that year. For April will come, Moorman's time will be out, and some one of the dozen or so perspiring aspi rants-male and female-will be se lected, the waters will subside and the agony be over-or just begun to all save the successful successor. That much is also as definitely set tled as is Moorman's hold-over; albeit it may be well to state here that there have been efforts, so far unsuccessful, made by some of the more scheming aspirants and their friends to oust our postmaster before his time expires but of that phase, in all its beautiful and sensational details, the public may hear later. Another thing that some people think definitely settled too is that the coming postmaster will be, not only of the geues homo, but a bonus vir-i. e., that the successor to Moorman will be more man than woman. But of that the writer has nothing to say-he is dumb as a December oyster. Most of the names of the aspirants are good ones-and as Solomon once said that a good name was rather to be chosen than great riches, or high hon ors, or postoffices, the new old Sol in Washington will, before the apricots bloom and the cherry buds forth next April, have chosen one good man and left the others-male and female-with their good names rather than the pcsit office. The public is familiar with the pro gression of the race for this postmasiter ship, from the day Cleveland was for the second time declared President until Sunday, the 17th instant, when they read in the Augusta Chronicle, under date of Washington, D. C.. Sep tember 16th, a special dispatch which conveyed the startling information that the "Congressman from this dis trict had "struck.a snag" in the Post master-General in regard to appoint ments; that Mr. Bissell informed Mr. Latimer that he "did not intend to ap point to office a single member of the Alliance"; that this "has stirred up a hornet's net, and that every recom mendation that has been made by or through Alliance influence will be withdrawn if such an assertion as at tributed to the Postmaster-General be true. Which would seem to indicate that the fight along this line-if it takes all winter, as General Grant would have said-will be interesting and is getting a move on--getting its back up, so to speak; and as Newberry is an important post in the field, the fight creates lively zest ini our midst. But-the most determined spectators in Newberry are the said dozen or more created perspiring aspiring aspi rants-male and female-who are hope fully hoping and hopping and friskily playing and anticipating beside the cool waters that run the political post office mill, but which will be hot enough when the pot begins to boil in earnest. We have information that the suc cessful candidate has been focused, concentrated on, so to speak; but it may be merely a rumor, and we there fore withhold the name. Bestir your selves, candidates; he may not get it. The little stream may yet prove the salt creek to him. NEEDLE. FOR THE OF TE F FARMER.
