Newspaper Law.

We invite attention to the law con-
cerning newspapers:
L. Subscribers who do not give cx-
press notice to the contrary arc con-
sidered as wishing 10 continue their
subscription.
2. IF subscribers wish their paper
discontinued publishers may continue
TO send them until all charges are
paid.
5. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their papers from the offices
or places to which they are sent, they
are held responsible until they settle
their bill and give notice to discon-
tinue them.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
or, and the paper is sent to the for
mer eirectton,, they are held respon'
sible. Notice should always be
given Of removal.
S: The Courts have decided tha
refusing to take paper or periodical
from the Office, Or removing ane
leaving it uncallcd for, is prima raci
evidence as intentional fraud.

IL is quite Il compliment TO the pru-
dence and foresight of our School
Commissioner that there is now pend
ing before the Legislature an amend
ment to this very section requiring
the report of collections aud disbursc-
ments to be made by districts. This
report should he made bufore5tlerc IS

diately, we are authorized 10 say
that legal steps will be taken which
will add one thousand or fifteen hun
dred dollars to the school fund OF
This county.

Trustees INDICATED.

Trustees indicated.
It is an outrageous shame that the
School Trustees Of Orangeburg County,
besides appointing teachers who are in
competent, will actually issue certificates
far beyond the levy made to meet the ac-
count, the consequence being that only
the fortunate teachers who come first to
the Treasury office get paid, while the
others have to go unpaid altogether, or
until a special levy is made for back ac-
counts, which is generally doubtful. The
radical party has been in power long
enohgh now to do better, if they choose.
SO said the Times. It is an unde-
niable fact that by far the greater
number Of our school teachers are un-
able to get their pay, and we know. of
several instances where competent
teachers have left our county and gone
elsewhere to teach, for the reason
that in other counties they do no.
meet with so mich difficulty in Oh
tanning their hard-earned and scanty
wages. But where rests the respon-
/ I,sibility? The Times places il upon
tune ocuool Trustees, for issuing Ger
tlhtates far beyond the levy made TO
meet the acroan,. In our, opinion
this is doing injustice to the School
Trustees, for how are they to know
the amount Of levy made, or the
amount of tax collected, that they
may not issue certificates beyond that
amount? 10 one acquainted with
our school system it would seem tha,
they ought to look to our School Com
missioner for this information. And,
as nll certificates have to be endorsed
BY him before they are legal drafts
upon the treasury, if our School
| Commissioner should refuse to write
his name upon them, teachers would
not be fooled with the idea that they
were to receive pay for their services,
and might turn their attention to
some other occupation. Again, it is
provided in the school law that the
School Commissioner may limit the
| school year to the amount Of funds for
school purposes, so that tie actual
expenses will not exceed tie appro-
priations made to meet them. This
is wise and prudent policy, and one
in harmony with the earnest recon-
mendation' Of our Governor. Does,
then, the weight of this responsibility
rest upon the broad shoulders Of our
School Commissioner? 1t would
seem so. But let US trace this mat.
ter up little further. How is the
School Commissioner to know the
amount of tax collected for school
purposes? lie must assuredly get
this information from the County
Tseasurer. Our School Commits
sioner realizes how important these
1acts arc TO proper and successful
administration of his office, and has
repeatedly solicited the requisite in
formation from our Trea .urer, with
shrewd foresight asking him to give
the amount collected in each district,
that he might know just how long
each district could have school.
But this necessary information has
not been obtained to this day. How
easily, and with how little trouble,
this information might have been
given, even if there was no positive
law requiring it,. But there is such
law, and here it is:
Sec. 6..'That it shall be- the duty
Of each County Treasurer to report,
monthly, on the fifteenth day Of each
month"; to the County School Com

: hat NeaT Little Pile.

The Ne,Us, Of last week, makes an
unwarranted effort to make it appear
that we have an ill-begotten grudge
against our present County Treasurer
and for that reasos are belaboring
him with our editorial structures, all
because we were not so unfortunate
as to get that Office. Now, in the
first place, we never cared enough for
that Office to accept it on terms which
would hurt good conscience, or pre-
vent US from honestly, faithfully and
1H1partially discharging the duties of
the office. No one knows this better
than the editor Of the Ne,Us. In the
second place, We have not, previous
to this issue, said one word in these
columns against our present County
Treasurer. We are not surprised that
the editor of the Neers should think it
much pleasanter, by far, to defend,
when no attack was made, the official
conduct and character Of our County
Treasurer than to vindicate his own,
or show to the satisfaction ofhis con-
stituents what has become of that
"ieat little pile of the peoples
money" we have said the cry of no
S8sney in the treasury is still heard,
ana county orders remain unpaid !;
but we said this, as the connection in
slfcated,.in reference to the loss of
that "neat little pile Of the peoples
money" THIS previous loss leaves
orders unpaid, and no money to pay
them but this we regard as the fault
of those who got that 8: neat little
pile, rather than the present incum-
bent of the Office. No doubt money
enough has been paid to meet all
the Claims against the county, if itIhad
been faithfully applied: No one re-
grets the fact more than we do. We
do not wish the fault Of this loss of
the peoples money to fall on any one
but those who are guilty, and this is
what the people of the county desire.
This is the only reason why we COM

EDS. HERALD: It is generally known
that series of meetings are now being
held throughout the county, in the inter
est OF the Sabbath-school, by the ener-
getic President and Secretary of our coun
ty Association.
Sabbath, the 8th of August, Blooming
burg came in for its share of the attention
of those very welcome officials. The af-
ternoon for our meeting was unpropitiCus,
as the rain came in torrents just at the
time for the gathering of the Masses
Though this kept very many from partic-
ipating in the pleasures of the meeting;
yet, very respectable company, of all
classes-old, young and middle aged were =,
present to hear the good words of cheer
from Messrs Sharp and Allen, who were
not deferred from filling their appoint
ments by the unfriendly elements
Though the Presidents programme was
defeated, he had the tact to make the
meeting success, and every body went
away delighted. If never before, there
were little tendrills put out from our
schools in Bloomingburg which will COM
municate, at least, little of the electric
ity generated to the whole 60 schools and
upwards, organized throughout the en-
tire county. We were much gratifed to
learn that but two or three schools in Fay
cite county were so far behind the times
as to ignore the excellent series of lessons
now being adopted, not only by the Uni
ted States, but by the entire Christian
world.
The speakers of the occasion were
Messrs Sharp, Dickey, Stitt and Allen
Mr.. Sharp's blackboard exercise and
illustrations completely captivated the
children, and many no doubt, will re-
member till the latest hour of their lives,
the crooked paths, and where they all ter
minated in the broad way that leadeth to
destruction, and the points reached by the
straight and narrow way before it termi-
mated in the Celestial City. The beaming
eyes and quick answers of the children
showed they appreciated what had gone
before when Mr.. Stitt in his neat little
talk, pointed to the class that shining way
mark on the straight and narrow road, an d
inquired after its bearings and connections
on the remarks that had just preceded.
Mr.. Dickeys happy reference to the morn
ing lesson, and Mr.. Aliens enthusiasm as
he cheered on the workers, showing the
endurance and stability of early impress
sions will not soon be forgotten.
But time and space would fail US in tell
ing all that was said and done Suffice it
to say, the Master was glorifed and the
presentation of his cause a success. G.. =

The Teachers Institute, which closed
its sessions in this place on last Friday,
was regarded by all as the finest ever
held in the county. The President, W w.
Sawyer, and the Executive Committee, c.
F. Dean and Frank Allen, were promptly
attendance of teachers were unusually
large, over one hundred names being en-
rolled. The Instructors, Profs Men6en =
hall, of Columbus, Williams of Delaware,
and Dowd of Troy, are men of more
than ordinary ability and aptness to teach.
The subjects of the theory and practice
of teaching, arithmetic. grammar, natural
science and mathematical geography were
so handled as to be productive of the
greatest interest and profit.
A very interesting feature Of the Insti-
tute was the lectures at night to the
teachers and our citizens by Messrs Will
liams, Sawyer and Mendenhall.
The vote of thanks to the Instructors
and to Mr.. Dean, who as Secretary and
member of the Executive Committee, had
worked so faithfully and efficiently, was
felt to be but feeble EXPIRE ssion of what
was due to these men.
The Institute closed with very de-
ightful Social on Friday evening, when
all were boys and girls again. Before ad-
journing the teachers appointed a COM
mittee to make arrangements for an Insti-
tute during the winter, to be conducted
by the teachers themselves.

Nothing of interest occurring in our viii
lage.
Pitching hOrseshoes is the favorite sport
with the loungers.
Oats cannot be saved; they have fallen
down and rotted very much.
A great deal of the grass is spoiled by
being cut down and the heavy rains com
ing on it before being cured.
The wheat crop is nearly ruined; the
what is sprouting in the shock. Some
few farmers are having their wheat thresh-
ed, but it seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion that it will be fed to the hogs.
The corn in many fields will not be more
than half crop. Part will be good and
part will be no account. If the wet wealth
er continues much longer the ears will moi
dlIssGt well and the corn that looks well
will not be SO good as expected.
We were really glad to hear that two oi
our most worthy citiz ems received nomina.
tions at the late convention. We think
that no more suitable gentlemen could be
found to fill the respective offices than
they are, and it will be good thing fol
the county if both are elected. Mr.. Ellis
