CoxcEALEp WEApoxsiN NEwBgRRY.--The New
berry Herald of last week report the following
as the commencement Of the war against carry
ing concealed deadly weapons in that County,
which we hope will be kept up throughout the
State:
Mr.. John Allen, n Tennessee horse trader,
had n difficulty with q negro on the streets the
4th instant, and drew pistol and fired twice
not Mt the negro, but up into the air, probably
to frighten HIM. He was arrested aud bound
over by Trial Justice Fair TO the Sessions Court
on the charge Of carrying concealed deadly
weapon.
Joe Robertson, colored, shot another colored
man named Stephens on Mr.. j. NJ. Wards place
the 81 instant. a warrant has been issued by
Trial Justice Carlisle for his arrest tho charge
of assault with intent to kill and carrying o con-
cealed deadly weapon.
2eko Robertson, colored, is also charged with
carrying concealed deadly weapon "a pistol
and n warrant has been issued by the same off,
Ger for his arrest.

Comfortable School Houses.

Our new School Commissioner, Maj. Town
send, has gone TO work earnestly and bravely
In the Interest Of education, and if the Trustees
Teachers and people will as earnestly and brave.
ly cooperate with him in his efforts to make The
Public Schools efficient and popular, Union will
be q model County for comfortable school houses,
progressive teachers, healthy and improving
scholars.
We endorse fully Mr.. Townsend's demand for
comfortable school houses. In most instances
our school houses are disgrace to the commu-
mites in which they are located. Cold, ,leaky,
cheerless, aud some with 'dirt foors," they are
better calculated for creating disease and un-
aermining the constitutions of children than to
enable them to study and progress In their edu.
cation. 1t is a waste of time and money to send
children to school in such houses, aud il is sur
prisng that parents will risk the health of their
children in them. While we would like to see
our County dotted with handsome school houses,
we do not advocate such expenditure of
money in the present financial condition of the
people, but we do say that proper regard for
tho lives health and educational advancement
of tho children, imperatively demand that the
school houses now in use should be made COM
Portable and healthy and we further say that
the cost, in almost every case, would be so tri-
fling to each individual in the neighborhood of
Public School that the work could and should
be done by the people, without calling upon
the school fund for dollar. Just imagine
how any one could study after walking n mile
or more in the cold, through the mud and
then have to sit for hours with damp feet, in n
room with "dirt floor" and the wind whistlng
through the numberless crevices in the walls. -
No man or woman could or ,oould perform tho
ordinary duties of life under such circumstances
and to us it looks inhuman to subject children
to such treatment and at tho some time expect
them 10 concentrate their minds upon their
studies.
We sincerely hope the people will combine
with the School Commissioner and Trustees and
remove this great wrong to tho children.

We think we can safely say that the town Of
Union offers rs fine educational advantages MS
any town in the State, and with the Teachers in
our Female Schools there can be no sound reason
for sending our young Ladies out of the County

Mrs. Massie, the Principal of the Female
Academy, was for years Principal of q flourish

AT meeting of the "Thickety Rifles" held

were unanimously adopted:
The vicissitudes of war have brought death
anu sorrow in our midst. At the late bloody bat,

niieu '.,;ns, man OF hnished education, accom-
piished gentleman, gallant soldier.
Iapf BOYD graduated in the South Carolina
college, with the first distinction, in 1856, and
then completed his education in one of the Uni.
verslties of Germany. Returning to his home
nc aevoted himself to the study of the Law,
anu nad Just commenced the practice, when his
country called him to the field The battle NJ
Fort Sumter found him ;n the ranks, and in Tho
capacity OF orderly Sergeant, he served through
'he hrst Campaign in Virginia, in the Regiment
then commanded by the late lamented General

regiment, he returned home and was electel
Captain and attached himself to the 18th Reoi

therefore
Resoirea, That In the death of Captain C. w.
