Tie Newberry Herald and News very innocently copies from the New York Sun, or at least, credits to tliat paper, an interesting article on the subject of South Carolilna's royal relies--the mitace aud sword of state that are still used on cortain occasions. That the article is not without merit is evidenced by its appearance In the columns of the Sun, and again in our Newberry conteinpo rary, but as a matter of fact, both of those papers have been impoed on to this extent-the article in ( tuestionl was written for the Anderson Journal over two months ago, and was writtun here in out office by one of on' regular stall', and appeared in our issue of .January 29th last. Somebody hogged that art-i (l and doubtless got pay for it from the New York Sui.--Anderson Jour nal. We beg the pardon of the .Journal. The article was scissored from isome paper with the credit to it. We always try to give the proper cred it. The Joui nal Will notiCe that in a recent issue of The Herald and News a sketch of Jus tice Pope was printed from its colinins and proper credit. givei. And we in this way make amendes for the other omission which was not, oll error. TOMET AT'ARIS M1OtN'AIN.

There is nteed ini this county of sonme implrovemnent in ouri mail service in the rural districts. The mail that now goes from Priosp1erit.y to Caldwell should be extendoed to Whit mire, a distance of fifteen miles more, and two 'or thtee morie p)ostotilCes onl t.ho route would prtove a great conivenientce to the p)eople in th at sectiotn of the coun ty and then too it might he made a dai ly mail, goitng from Prosperity to Whit mire one day atnd back the next.

If the people of that sction desire such an atrrangemuent we will take pleasure in pr'epar'ing the poetition and doing wvhat we can to get the matter' through. ________ Mr. J. P. GIbson has so1(1 out t.he Pee Dee Advocate at Becnnettsville and rec tired from the newspaper' fleld. Mr. L. J. Biri3tow hias bought the County Record at Kingstree. The rain and the storm fury is st,ll unabated in the Mississippi v'alley. We have been having a little touch of it in this section but nothing so fat' to be compared with the western stornms and floods, We regret the trouble in the St. I'aul school and do not just sco how the matter is to be settled through the newspapor, and we trust our friends on both sides of t,be controversy will not print any more about it. Wo wish it were so that every school in the coun ty could run for in11e months with a good teacher at the hcad of each. More and better and longer toren schools Iin the rural districts is the ed ucational need of today. Of collages anld higher institutions we have plenty and especially is South Carolina top heavy and tax heavy with such insti tutions. We have preached this doc trine for the past ten years. It is no new thenc--improve aid lengthon our conmnon schools. It is not wise for an oltsider to in terfere ini a fainily quarrel, but fooling a IcuCIliar interest in this school, It beintg the first school this writer over attended, we venture this suggestion: Let,all the patrons, including the trus tees, get togetliet and employ a first Class teacher and run the school for nin months and not juarrel over $16 or a four months term. Supploment tile public fuad with tuition fees. You arel. able to do it anud you have plenty children to make the burden light, and if you will all got togother, trustecs and patrons, it will be done and you will never regret it, and then you can all rejoice together. St. Paul'ms School Once Moro. We he'g I littlei more space in your paper in reply to an article from Mr. L. 1. lIptlig. If we were not accused of speaking falsely In our article of March 23rd we would drop the school Imatter for the present at Icast, but as we are placed in Ia false ligrht in sOveral plaves by Mr. IKpting we will endeavor to set ourselves right in th eyes of those interested.

Items From Long Lane. Mr. N. A. Carlisle was quite unfor tunato during one of the raiy spolis in having quite a number of his sheep drowned in the creek near hero. Mr. Silas Cromer and family spent a day lately at Mr. J. W. Caldwell'&. Mr. Charley Suber and family and Miss Elualie paid a short visit to the old home in this community about a week ago. On la-4t Saturday eveniung -Miss Mat tic Brown, a charming young lady of the Mt. Bethel community, attended by Mr. JolT Brown, camo iup to visit their cousins at Mrs. 8 A. Jetor's. We all enjoyed their visit and hope they will speedily renew it. "It never rains but it pours," so at that time Misses Bon nie and Hallie Hawkins and Messrs. Clarence Sligh and Thomas Chandler, of loth Eden, and Messrs. Bell Cald well, George and IIenry Brown, Pettus Baker, Joe Baker and Charley King all visited us. Two young men of the neighborhood wont out calling rocontly. One had had bad luck and had to call for a needle and thread as soon as he reached the houve, and the other's girl was so afraid of being teased that she wouldn't comie in. That was worse than bad luck, don't you think so, young man? An effort is being made to establish a postoilice in our community. That should have been done long ago. Why should not Uncle Saml pr-ovide solne conveniences in this direction for those in the rural districts as well as so many for our well favored townsmen. If our legislators and con g ressmen Would just help their country constituents a little miore they would not so often be forced to (eem them "country crackers."

The mule now has all of ils feet tied tight and fast and yet it .takes several men to plough him. When theso kind of animals are traded someone must get the worst of the br-gain. Editor Aull has cortainly proven him self a man of unbounded generosity. To give us such an elcegant dinner was 1mh more thanx we deserved, and then to send us a plhotogralph of tILe stanl' shows that Ie has for his motto, "All that you do, do with you, might.' I appreciate the gift, very much and a glance ILL it brings pleasant memories. N rr,%. A prl-2, 1897. When IvCear begins to exceed repair in your hody you are going to fall sick.
