Public Schools Crittcizod. Mr Elitcr: I aui minded to s*y a few tilings about oar scboola und o.her mattera. A grertt need in eorao places || a good bouse with maps cbart9 desks etc Home of the school booses for whiles are a mere narce, very uncomfortable, with oo furniture what? ever. How can children be taught to write for instance, without desks. Ii some places tbe children are poorly provided with books three often studying io ooe book. How cao a teacher do good work under such circum? stances? We ask this question not because of any complaiat that has corxe to our ears Often there is another trouble with careless or indifferent parent!. The teacher cannot put on those restraints, and u;e that discipline they feel oeoessary because tbe^offended child coming at pleasure will stay away if things do not suit it. We hare penned these lints because we feel that a better day when a live? lier interest will be taken in education is jnst ahead of us. Tbers is much to bs door, msoy improvements to bs made. Oos thing : our schools ought to bs consolidated, two or three merged into ooe with two teachers sod tho methods of teaching in our city schools used mots extensively. Oar'.teachers ought to be ospable sod psid more and our schools ought to run longer. But in some places tbe present length ofteo seems too long judging by the attendsncs. A remark jost here, parents should not try to make field bauds of their children during school term. A child will have enough to do if it gets its lessons. Libaries ought to bs started in all our schools. The educational outlook of tbe county is very favorable we believe because we bave got sn efficient Goaoty Superintendent, a man who does not hesitate to look into and inquire about matters and methods, and, haviog several years experience in teaching is able to suggest and iostract. He has a future before bim. Observer. Hagood, S. 0., Jao. 26, 1901. PISOAH NEWS. Pisgab, Jao. 29?Winter has come at last with a rush. For tbe last two weeks we bave felt its full force, aod the number of people who are suersiog aod coughing shows that it is here. Tbe doctors ssy it is tbe "grip," a malady imported from Siberia under the jurisdiction of Russia. Very unkind In Rus? sia to allow such an exportation to a friendly country, but we bave a faint recollection that in tbe dim and misty past we used to bsve coughs end colds, but possibly io our pro? gressive country they have developed into tbe present aches tbst so many complain of. To maks a loog story short, we hsvs tbe grip, and it is no good Farm work has mads some progress. The wagons bars commenced to haul the fertili? sers. It is too early ss yet to ssy what quan? tity will be used ss compared with last year. Gredit is too essy for ths good of tbe country at large.

Tbe marriage epi? demic has about bid this eection farwell Potsibiy, that accounts for tbe loog fa:ea to ha eceo. Several persons hive bad a little of the needful to spare and bav* generously given it to tba lawyeio as their mouthpieces. Tbe extension of the time to psy taxee,|bas again brought the State into bad repute We bear of several who bave always punctually paid their taxes, say (hey will not pay this year's taxes aotil March or April following, that tbe published limit of time by tbe offi cisls is oo good. No excuse for extension this year. A great deal of taffy is used by same con? gressman In their speeches.

Tbe defsst of tbs Thomas bill is regretted by tboss who fssl a deep intsrsst in educa? tion. Ootside of ths grsdsd schools, if lbs public ones srs any thing but a farce, no ooe cao see otherwise. It is time to better tbe school system or abolish it aad have pay schools. Better that than to bave this jaw erable system continued any longer. Of course tbers ars exceptions to this io the country, but tbey are few and far between. SUMTES. COTTON K&AZST.
