Mr Yause seems to be perfectly
willing to have a new bridge at j
the canal. Perhaps he thinks that
as long as the railroad crossing
remains as it is his shop will not
be idle.
The editor of the News and
Courier is to be congratulated on :
his discovery, even at this late day
(July 8,) that the vigorous cam- '
paign he has been conducting
against Bryan's nomination is as
'the blind leading the blind,"
but the one mitigating circum
stance connected with the whole
affair which should assuage the
anguish of his lashing conscience,
is the fact, that whether blind or
not, his following has not been
great. If all the "oxen," etc., that
have fallen into the ditch can
find accommodation in seats re*
served in the front row of the 1
Bryan baud wagou, not much
harm has been done. All aboard,
Mr. Editor, and your house, but
what if many of them never were
/ blind ?
Grovcr Cleveland.
Our country now mourns the
: death of one of its most distinguished
citizens. He was the
only living ex-President of this
republic and the only Democrat
who has been elected to that
high office 6iuce the Civil War,
and after an interval of four
years, was elected the second time
to this high position;
It is thought that his election
in both instances was due to his
forceful and simple personality >
rather than to political manipulation,
but his second administration,
owing to conditions for;
which he was not responsible,
brought him great unpopularity.
The encroachment of a panic;
caused largely by legislation with
which he had nothing to do,
developed during his second term
much unfavorable sentiment against
him. People get very serious over
politics when trouble threatens
their pocket books. His unwillingness
to meet this shortage by
the untested financial ideas of
some of his own political party
subjected him to much personal j
dislike and vituperation, much of
which was evidently unjust.
^ * i ' - - . i r _ nr? _ I
Since nis retirement irom orace:
twelve years ago he has conducted
himself with such dignity and propriety
as to secure a constantly
increasing regard and esteem from
discriminating people of all parties.
The Summer School.
As may be noted elsewhere,
Kingstree is to be favored with
a summer school this year, beginning
July 27th and running to
August 8th, and while it is designed
especially for the benefit
of the teachers, in better equipping
them for their great work
as the moulders of the lives of
the not distant future citizenship
of the country, at the same time,
such a gathering in our midst,,
ought to be frought with great ^ ]
good to the town itself.
These teachers doubtless come ]
from the best homes in the county ,
l ~ WAt. k/.I.O nf
{<iuu9 uj i lie na>j u\.'jcj mvot vt i
them are yoimg ladies.) They are '
perhaps a representation of the j
best that Williamsburg county has:;
done in its system of education,
many of them having been inspired
to j ursue their studies elsewhere
in our colleges, and are (
now come back, according to all
the laws of evolutionary betterment,
to lend a hand for the
uplifting of others. They deserve ;
and will doubtless receive a warm ;
welcome in our town.
A glance at the program shows
many good things in 6tore for
those who attend. Many of our
youug people and older ones as
well should attend tne daily sessions,
much or which will be i
given to lecture. %ncl discussions J
of problems that t <
concern to parents ll
pupils. Our count)
ent, Mr. J. G. McC
forms us that besides t
of three hs announced
ments are being made foi
special lectures, perhaps at
by prominent men.
We are fortunate in sev
the services of Miss Nance,
will conduct the Institute. Those
{
who heard her excellent address
here in May will join in congratulations
to Mr. McCullough j
in getting her for this position, <
and just here we would suggest ?

lecture before the public in the
auditorium.
The teachers, of course, expect <
to pay a reasonable price for
board while here and we have no
doubt that homes will easily be
found for all. Let those who can ,
take one, two, three or four, report
to Mr, L. Stackley at once. '
The teachers will doubtless go
back home with nothing but kind
words for old New Kingstree,
A Thief of Time,
In consenting to do a little:scribbling
for this paper during
the abseuce of the Editor, this
writer hardly expected his identity
to be made known, and regrets
that ether pressing duties do not pre- ;
Riit his giving the time to it that
the reading public has the right
to expect. In this day of many
books and papers a man ought to
L- .L..i 1. ~ :A I

worth all of the time that will
be consumed by all of his readers
in reading it.
A man would be arrested and
punished severely if found guilty i
of stealing another's money, but i
the public conscience seems not
yet to have been aroused to the '
heiuousness of the offence of
stealing one's time, which may
be more valuable than money, and (

purloin from another than we
have to appropriate his earthly j
goods. However, we shall do the 1
best we can, under the circumstances,
trusting in the gentle \
forbearance of our readers and I
i
with the expectation that it will 1
not be long until the Editor will
be in his place again. .
Our readers will observe that <
our manner of writing is like the !
little school boy's composition: A ;
young teacher somewhat nervous 1
1
over a temporary promotion was
anxious that everything should go off
in the usual good order. Instructing
the class in composition 1
she said: "Now children, don't !
attempt any flight of fancy, just be
yourselves and write what is real- .
Ij in you."
As a result of this advice one , c
little boy turned in the following j1
composition: "I ain't goin'to at- (
temp no flight of fancy; I'm just jj
goin' to write what's in me, and
I got a hart, a liver, two lungs
I I:I?
ana some oiner luiugs unc uiai,:
then I got a stummick, and it's <
got in it a pickle, a piece of pie, ]
two sticks of pepperment candy
and my dinner." j
That's the idea. "I ain't gom' <
to attempt no flight of fancy; h
I'm just goin' to write what's
in me" when Mr Cargile calls (
for it.
