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.

Darlington in certainly moving

this conclusion upon, tban tbs great

master is proportioned to tbs K'

nual readjustment recently had ot
the salaries ol postmasters that of
the Darlington office was raised
8900, this being the largest increase
in the State It is truly a gratify-
lag fact that Darlington, dnrirg

increase la her postal business than
any other eity or town In South
Uarotiaa. In troth we are inform-

TECHNICAL SCHOOLS.
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

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|

The title of boss bear killer of North
America never has been definitely and
finally conferred. 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.

A.—Lots of times. 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
