More About the Mhss Meeting? and School Consolidation. Privateer, Sept 17.?In, ceply to Mr. Cain s letter to the Item, In which he said as "I was secretary of three mass meetings held," I deem it my duty to correct this statement and give the facts in the case:* Referring to what this correspondent said about a self-appointed committee, etc., Mr. Cain may have been secretary of three mass meetings, held somewhere, but not in Privateer, this year, as there has been only one mass meeting and two committee meetings held. Mr. Cain says: "All of the schools held their meetings." Now all of the schools did not hold meetings, the Red Oak did not have a meeting and at the. second meeting which he calls a mass meeting, was only n meeting of one or two from the schools which had held meetings at their school houses and they only met to report whether their school wanted to consolidate or nok. They had no authority from their schools to appoint a committee or represent their Schools further than to make a report whether or not their school would consolidate or. remain as it has been heretofore. Now ar to the Tuesday afternoon meeting, I was at that meeting and heard one of the committee say that "he could not vote for he was not"appolnted nor author? ized by the school." "Eut as a mat-? ter of fact, he had as much authority as any of the committee," for none of them were appointed by their schools, therefore, had no right to decide or recommend anything to the trustees, and then claim it as representing thp desires of the majority of the people concerned. Now if the trust^s build school houses as this self-appointed committee advised them to do, it will be contrary to the wishes of the ma? jority of the taxpayers of Privateer, as expressed in the only mass meeting held in Privateer, and the schools will be only for the benefit of a few, con? trary to the express wishes of a ma? jority of the taxpayers of Priva? teer. mmm^m_____________ / INVESTIGATION BY CORONER. Negro Boy Died Near Rossard Under Suspicious Circumstances. Coroner Prowers was called to the Bossard neighborhood Monday to In? vestigate the death of Henry Miller, a negro boy who died Sunday under what-some of his relatives considered suspicious circumstances. He was an orphan, and about two weeks ago he waa severely whipped by hie employ? er, In consequence of which he left him and went to live with some of his relatives. He did7 not appear to be in? jured and while he had the marks of the whip on his body, he was in no wise Incapacitated from work. For several days prior to his death he had been complaining and did not care for food, and on Sunday he died. His relatives with ? whom he had been staying for two weeks thought his death may have been, the result of the whipping, asked for an Inquest, but Coroner Flowers after making an investigation, and having the body ex? amined by Dr. C. P. Osteen, decided that Inquest was unnecessary as the statements of those whom he q 'es tioned confirmed the opinion of Dr. Osteen that the boy's death was due to natural causes and not to the whip? ping. _i_ A MODEL PLANT." e?

Columbia, Sept. 16.?In view of the opening of the school year and the ac? tive work to be done for educution during the winter, State Supt. Q. B. Martin and Pr>>f. W. H. Hand, of the apartment of education, are getting veryfhing ready for the . establish? ment- of high schools In every section f the State. While there are many communities orking hard for these schools, made possible under the act of last year, which gave $50.000 for the work, still ther are other sections where the act as not been studied and therefore o not realize the opportunities. As a result of this Mr. Martin has ssued the following letter: * "Dear Sir: We find that many paces have conditions and surround ngs which make it very easy to com? ply with the law and receive aid under the high school act. Isn't your place one of these? "In the first place it is necessary to have 25 pupils above * the seventh grade. This is one of the most strin? gent requirements. If you haven't them a little hustling will secure them. "The act requires two teachers In the high school department. One of these may^be the principal of the school, and you can count his salary in reclvlng aid If he teaches advanced classes. ' % "You can get the surrounding dis? tricts to co-operate with you if you get them to understand-that thier you get them to understand that their primary and intermediate schools are to be continued, and only the advanc? ed students sent to the high -schools. An aggregation of districts Or a township may include a large town. "Prof. W. H. Hand or I will be glad ^to come to your community and give any further explanation of the* law. A little enterprising .-work will secure $500 to $800 worth of aid and better school facilities for your whole sec? tion of country. "Let us hear from you." ENGINEER PREVENTS WRECK. Summerton, Sept. 13.?What might have proved a serfous and fatal wreck was_ ipr^vented yesterday afternoon on the Northwestern Railroad only by the coolness and bravery of Engine Driver W. A. Seymour. The regular afternoon passenger train between Sumter and Wilson's Mills, via Summerton, was speeding along at the rate of about 36 miles an hour between Silver and St. Paul when, without a moment's warning, the driving rod on the right side of the locomtive snapped in h?lt. The broken section of the great steel rod. revolving at a fearful upeed, struck the woodwork of th^ cab Just uhder the seat occupied by Driver Seymour, tossing him several feet in the air and landing amid*t the wreckage of his cab in the tender. Although badly cut and crippled I Driver Seymour instantly recovered his presence of mind and at the risk of being struck by the flying rod, which revolved every time that the wheel turned around, he 'reached the throttle and after shutting off the steam applied the air brakes. The train at the time of the acci? dent was on a 20-foot embankment and was carrying a heavily loaded string of cars, including several pas? senger cars, and as every moment was one of Imminent danger the courage? ous act of Engineer Seymour has been heartily commended here. The loco? motive was badly demolished, the en? tire cab, being shattered, steam pipes, air pump and other things having been carried away by the looee rot}. Engineer Seymour was hurriedly brought to hi5t home in Summerton and given medical attention. While painfully lacerated about the face, arms and legs he is n?>t seriously .In? jured and hopes t<> be out before many days. Traffic was delayed on the Northwestern for several hours as a result of the accident. Clarendon Marriages. Married b*y Rev. R. L. Crier, at the honm (,f the bride's father, Mr. John 3.

PARTIES HAVING Long Staple Cotton For sale will Jo well to*sec nie, as I make a specialty <>1 same. Consignments snlicit ed. Best puces always ob? tained for my customers. Abe Ryttenberg. Aug 27?Im Fifteen Cental Cotton, i_ ? The buyen of cotton In the North end the executive committee of the Southern Cotton association (lifter by one million bales in their estimate* of the cotton crop now being harvested and the usual protest may be expect - d from New England against the action of the Southern Cotton as? sociation and the Farmers* union n deciding to fix 15 cents the pound as the minimum price of the staple. We do not pretend to know what he price of cotton should be. Ulti? mately the law of supply and demand Will assert itself, but it is well enough to emphasize sgain that the crop will not bring its value tmloas he growers express and act upon their own opinion as to Its value. There is precisely the same reason for a farmer with cotton to sell to name a price for it as there is for the own? er of a iiorse, a share of railroad stock or of ah auton oblle to name a selling price ^or his property. The Southern farmers are in better condition this yehr than ever before to hold cotton. Few of them will be forced to hurry it fb market. The chances are excel? lent that better prices will pTevail later in the season. Cotton is not perishable, warehouse facilities are more numerous' fhan they have been1 and common sense makes plain the duty and wisdom of every cotton grower to follov faithfully the ad? vices of /iis organization leaders. Admitting for the sake of the argu? ment that the crop will reach 13.000, 000 e>r more bales, it does not follow in the least that the buyers should be allowed on that acccount to determine what the price of the crop shall be. The more cotton that is held between the present date and the beginning of the harvest in 1908 the more the mar? ket will be steadied and, although the farmer who holds necessarilja assumes some speculative hazard, the chances of loss to him are so small as to make the argument, in favor of loyalty to the association and the union over? whelming. The southern cotton far? mer is in the saddle and he would be no better than* a fool to listen to the pleadings and outcries of cotton buy? ers that they release their product for whatever the buyers choose to sug? gest. K ? . * ? ^ ? * Presupposing that there will be during the ' season, no substantial slump from the prices now prevailing, the present condition brings out clear? ly the strong position of the Southern cotton mills, the mills In the field, h considerable part of the crop ^rnust this year, as ? In every year, be promptly marketed. Many farmers are In debt.. They owe the merchants and the banks for advances and money used in ttwlr farming operations, Thl? j cotton will beeorhe immediately avall^ able to the Southern mills, who may bUy it at their doors and who can af? ford to pay the price ol transportation in excess of the New York quotations. In time the New England and for ?ign spinners may find It advisable to send competitive buyers *nto the mill districts early in the season and take advantage of the quick offerings of cotton, but, of course, they would? be compelled to meet the prices offered by the mills, with the result that the growers In the mill districts would save freight and sell all their'cotton at a figure equal to or above New York prices. Heretofore the policy of outside buyers has been to with? draw from the Southern mill districts until the' Southern spinners had se? cured their stocks for the year. Thia policy has been of material advan? tage to our spinners, but if tile out? siders should abandon it 'they would still retain some advantage and a greater profit would inure to the far? mers. At any rate Southern farmers who produce cotton hi the neighbor? hood of the mills have had*broqght sharply, before them the very great benefit that they enjoy through .the establishment of the spituaiug indus? try.?News and Courier.
