COLD COMFOItT!
CHARLESTON, January .

CHARLESTON, January
TO THE EDITOR or THE NEWS.
A great deal has been said about the nom
payment OF teachers In the public schools. Would
you be kind enough to draw the attention OF the
publio to this fact viz: that the children Of the
schools are obliged to be out In the play ground
during recess, whether 1t rains or Shines Ia cold
or hot, Even In severe weather like what we
have experienced the last week or two, they are
not allowed to have on any extra covering while
In school. and the teachers are not allowed that
privilege either. In these hard times everybody
has not very warm dresses to wear, andl as they
are not allowed to wear any extra wrap, visitors
To the schools have all taken notice OF the pinched
blue look teachers and pupils have, as they are
not allowed to go near the stoves. 1t ls not to be
wondered at that some Of the best teachers leave,
when we consider that they have to walk In the
playground even when 1t is pouring rdtn. The
teachers and children are hardly ever without
colds.
Bytnserting this You will much obuge one who
sympathizes with both teachers and children, as
1t Ia well known that teaching Is pretty cold
work.

MURDER IN ST. ANDREw's-VIoTM UNKNOWN
-CoHoNER,s ISQUEsr.-The body OF colored
man was discovered on Sunday afternoon lying
In a ditch oeslde the Savannah and Charleston
Railroad, few miles from this city. The flesh on
the upper part Of the body had been devoured by
buzsards, making it impossible to recognize the
features, but the lower limbs although putrid,
were secured from the voraclry Of the birds by
some pine bark which had been thrown on them.
The skull had deep cavity in It, and appears to
have been crushed in by blow from some heavy
weapon. Tue affair Is q bloody mystery to which
there Is as yet no clue. Parties residing IN the
neghoorhood admit hearing on Christmas Eve
cries which seemed to be those OF person In dis.
tress, bnt as these only continued for few mo-
ments no particular attention was paid to them.
The coroner was notified, and an inquest held
yesterday over the body. All efforts to identity
the man were In vain. He was dressed In q dark
coat and q pair OF graytsh pants, and Dad on o
new pair Of Congress gsisers, new socks, and
new pair OF drawers. new pair OF hane strings
and an old plated hide whip were found close by
the place where he was lying. After short de-
liberation, the jury returned verdict that the
deceased came to his death from wound In
nicted on the right side Of the head BY heavy
weapon in the hand or hands OF party or par
ties to the jurors unknown.

SHOT IN AN ATTEMPT TO Yesterday
morning Thomas Singleton was brought before
Trial Justice Caulaeld, charged with stealing o
revolver, of the value OF s12 from Edward Wash
ington. The larceny was clearly proved and ad.
mitted by the defendant who refused to compro-
mise the case by returning the stolen revolver.
He offered to give Washington his own, however,
worth about fifty cents, which the latter declined
Singleton was sentenced to pay fine Of 81 and
costs, or go to jail for fifteen days. Not having
the money to pay, and positively refusing to re.
turn the stolen revolver, he was committed to
Jail under charge Of Constable A. Benford. AT
starting, he was obstreperous and resisted the
constable for some time. A. different points
on the road he did the same thing, and
at the corner of Magazine and Mazyck streets he
made desperate attempt to escape Rushing
upon his conductor, he Knocked him down a;'l
grapped with him. attempting apparently to get
possesslon OF the stter's revolver. The constable
however, was too quick, and drawing the revolv-
er lie shot the prisoner in the leg. Policeman
Goulden now came up, and with his assistance
Benrurd succeeded In carrying the wound
ed prisoner TO the jail. He was placed
In the hospital department. where his wound
was dressed by the jan physician. The
ball had penetrated the feshy part OF
the thigh, without touching the bone. All efforts
70 extricate il were useless and 1t now remains
deeply lmbedded in the wound. The wound, how
ever, Is by no means dangerous one.

WoHEN's RIGHTs.-Some curious cases are
about TO come up before the United States District
Court, now In session. 1t seems that four women
ON Lady Island voted as proxies for their hus.
bands and sons. In one case the son happened
to be under age These four pioneers OF women
suffrage were arrested by the Bowen party, aud
arrived here per steamer from Lady Island last
night At the election, when the poll was hrss
opened, DeLsrge tickets we're distributed gene
rally to the crowd By Samuel Green, now mem'
Der elect OF the General Assembly. At samueps
suggestion, and with the conniyance ofhis father,
who was chairman of the board OF managers,
these women deposited in the box the votes OF
their relatives, who were absent-perhaps vssng
somewhere else. The case against them Is plain
one, but 1t ls doubtful II they will be prosecused.
The parties who advised this novel system OF vos-
Ing, including the member Of the Legislature,
Green, however, ohould be made to smart.
