m THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1889. HEXRY T. THOMPSOM, BDIT9B: W Ml COttESrONDFJTS. The Correspondents of Thk Darlikgton News throughout the Cou.ity, are particularly requested to bear in mind that we greatly desire to have from them, as often as possible, (the oftener the better) the Local Sveuts of their sections. We want the news every week, if it is only a line. THE STATE’S NOBLEST WORK. Perhaps nothing reflects more credit upon or redounds more U< the interest of oar Stste than thr nobie gratitode she shoes to the old soldier, who, for (bar long yesr*. stood amidst carnage and deetb, her •■swerving bulwark against the onalaagbra of her enemies. When the dark cloads of war hong over oer beloved State the volao* tost soldiery was bar heroic de fence. In peace we Hod the State In tarn protecting the now old and disabled veteran or the widow, whom the departed warrior loved, as ha did kis eonotry, with a hal lo wad devotion. Sooth Carolina is in a position to do only n little bat that she does moat graciously and to boom degree she defends her children from the eneroaofameats of impeeantosit), when disabled by wound or weary with age, they can no more battle for tbeaMelves. Oratttade to the child of honesty for It carries with it the recognition ot a jnst obligation, and In meeting each n debt the saeredness of the covenant is duly observed. In this way, the State in earing for the old aoMier does good onto herself, wbieh serves to maintain her ered H at homo and abroad. It is, moreover, a cause for oou- grat elation that soch a small per- esataga of thoae, who served their country upon the fleld, has now to reeeivs this aid from tbs State It is a veritable alga of the prosper e«s condition of onr people. & BISHOP THK TIMES.

Tka BaoaSta to Ba Dartrad by Thalr Ur In Europe, at Lyons, Oefeld and Como, Zurich, Muhlheim, Paris, Ber lin, Manchester, Bradford and other citiea, there are schools ia which the principles of the textile industry are taught The Silk association of New York has long advocated the school | and expended much money to secure : it. One of its members said: “The benefit which textile interests would derive from a trade school of their own in this country could hardly be estimated. The effect of its success could not, of course, be immediately felt but the final result could hardly be doubted and can be foretold in one sentence: Absolute independence of all outside Influences for these indus tries in their creative, industrial and commercial departments. “While the United States ia second to no other country as far as the com mon school and classical courses of study are concerned, in the matter of technical education we are sadly de ficient even beside the smallest and moat Insignificant of European ooun- trias. A special school catering to the needs of the district in whion it is situated is indeed an establishment which any town in Europe ia proud to In textile industries, particu- the number of technical schools bean largel^ iacreased in Europe, HARPOONING GRIZZLIES. Ejj with the tr the improvement of manufacture . steady, and there is now hardly any rind of textile manufacturing in Europe that does not possess an edu cational establishment in which the principles of the industries of the dis trict are have not well as ~ —— bars already bad the experience of the factory, but who wish to perfect them selves and ate anxious to learn the scientific reesosM why certain kinds of work should be done in a certain way. “In considering the foundation of technical schools in America the ex perience of ether nations ean be used to advantage, and much experiment ing will thus be dispensed with. In ocuer to profit by suen experience, and to sovs tne first steps In the dark, it is necessary that the various systems of technics! education adopted li farant European countries be of careful study and mvation. the' from seen am on required by the the eountiv. “It would be useless at this stage to attempt to foreshadow the details re tarding the actual establishment of the flist American technical school If it were intended to establish a whole national system of technical education the general plan might be to have a number of lower schools In all cities of any importance, in which the prin ciples of all the sciences coula be taught { these schools to act as feeder) or nuserics for a central technical uni versity. Private effort could hardly accomplish this, the establishment of such a complete educational system would tend to elevate the moral and and material standing of the country, and especially of the various indus tries: mit the scope Is so vast as to be hardly attainable, without the aid of the national government “If we consider textile industries by themselves, we find that In regard to tuition that cun he given which would be of valne to the students in their future calling, there are three chief departments to be considered—the me chanical the chemical and the artistic. Although these departments differ widely from each other, they are, o oloeely connected as to ha indispensable to each other. A who makes a specialty of one must, at the same time, know some thing of the other two, and It is there fore necessary that all three directions should be under the same roof if any completeness is to be the result “Thus a single school may he made to do for textiles all that circumstances ^ •0 urgently demand. We of the e industries may not hope to build to completeness the grand fabric of technical education, but by co-opera tion we can rear and ooou| is great stronghold and progress. r 014 TUm Ai per Is, by the way, one of the very Tew successors we have to the witty auctioneers of the generation gone before us.

Grimly Adams achieved wider notoriety than any other man in his line, but that was be cause he caught the beers alive and made a show of them. Sylvester Scott s&Sonoma county, with his rec ord ortOG bears, seemed to be entitled to the appellation, and even Morgan Clarke did not dispute the claim, al though he has been a mighty destroy er of nears. But Daniel Sexton of San Bernar dino, whose modesty has kept him in the background for many years, now comes to the front with some of the most remarkable bear stories ever heard. Mr. Sexton’s claim to recog nition is not based upon mere camp fire yarns or country grocery expen- encea All that be says is sworn to on the witness stand in the United Slates district court Mr. Sexton was a witness in the suit of John Morongo and others against Messrs. North and Gird, a case involv ing the title to the Potrero village and lands in San Bernardino occupied for thirty years by the Indians, who have failed, througn ignorance, to conform to the land laws Mr. Sexton was cross-examined about the condition of things on the disputed land thirty years ago, and developed either a te nacious memory or a fertile imagina tion. Counsel, to test his accuracy, put the simple question: “Were there a great many bean in those years?” ana started Mr. Sexton on a series of reminiscences that were highly interesting. The following re port is from the court stenographer’s notes: Mr. Sexton—Oh, yea. I went out one evening from my camp and I coun ted fifty bears within gunshot of me, eating cherries. BAKGAINS Drive Prices! Q.-wudf A.-1 -The bean! No, they wild; they didn’t scare at i were not anything. Oh, you means the cherries. Yes, they were wild cherries. But the bears did n’t know anything about being hurt and were not wild. They weren’t •cared of the Indians, because the In killed beai dians never Q.—What they! A.—Grizzlies.

Why, B. D. Wil son went np the mountain here to Bear lake, and he had twenty-two men with him—Californians. They counted 100 bean at one time. The mountain was what you might call just lousy with bean. The men divided into pain and went for the grizzlies with their lassoes, two men to a bear. They lassoed eleven bean and brought them into camp—just naturally led ’em right in. i —Did you kill any beant —Well, I think I did. When Mr. Temple came out from Los Ange les to get some lumber, I had a pile of bears, and I showed them to him and asked him how much bear meat he thought there was in that oik. He said ne thought there was about ten tons. I think there was more than that, beesuse there wss more than fifty bean in the pile, and I think they weighed more than 500 pounds apiece. Q.—Who killed all those bears) A. I killed them. 1 harpooned them. When I went to the rancherie, they didn’t know how to set a harpoon. 1 made some harpoons add set them, and I would have three or four bean harpooned every morning—three or four old grizzlies. If you had been there like I was, and seen three or four old grizzlies with harpoons in them, dragging logs and chains after them, you would never forget it Q.—Were there any California lions about there that woe dangerous to stock? A.—I never saw but one California lion in this whole country, and I killed him with an ax. May'be you think that isn't so, but the way I silled him was this: I didn’t have a gun with me. and I went out with an Indian to cut some timber. I had the ax and noth ing else, and the Indian’s dogs ran a lion up a tree. The Indian told me to go back and get my gun, but I told aim, “If I go you wul let him get away.” The lion was on a small limb, and! threw a stone at him and hit him between the eyes, and that stun ned him. He turned tail and wss going to jump, but I happened to hit him just right and dazed him Then I made tne Indian fetch stones, and I : stones at the lion for about an ir and a half, I should think. When he turned tail I stoned him on the end of the spine. I stoned him until he couldn't use his hind legs, and then I cut the tree down and killed him with the ax.—Banning (Cal.) Letter. J tow differently men and women ulge themselves in what is called a reeling spell “I guess Til sit down and meud these stockings and rest awhile,” says the wife; but her hus band throws himself upon the easy lounge, or sits back in nia armchair, with nands at rest and feet placed hor izontally upon another chair. The re sult is tnat nia whole body gains full benefit of the half hour he allows him self from work, and the wife only indirect re help which comes from change of occupation. A phy sician would tell her that even ten minutes met in a horizontal position, as a change from standing or sitting st work, would prove more henrfleial to her than any of her makeshifts at resting. Busy women have a habit of keeping on their feet just as long as they can, in spite of backaches and warn ing paina As they grow older they see the folly of permitting such drafts upon their strength, and learn to take things sailer, M what will 11 happen. 1 mute do so, but Tvs grown wiser and learned to slight things.” The first yean of housekeeping are truly the hardest, for untried and unfamiliar cares are almost daily thrust upon the mother and home maker.—New York Graphic.
