The frost which kills the harvest of 9
year, saves the harvest Of 8 century, by
destroying the weevil or the locust.
Wars, fires, plsgues, break up immovable
routine, clear the grounds of rotten races
and dens of distemper, and open q fair
field to new men. There is q tendency
in things to right themselves, and the
war or revolution, or bankruptcy that
take new and natural order. Emerson.

One OF Maekey's Tricks.

The people of Greenwood have just
ground for indignation at the action Of
Congressman Mackey in his effort to GUST
the present most excellent postmaster to
give the office to Louis Waller, the most
Objectionable colored man that could
have been selected. He is the same man
for whom an incensed crowd searched one
day at Abbeville during the campaign Of
1876. If he had been found that day
tie probability is that he would not now
be source of trouble to our friends at
Greenwood. 1t is said that Louis Waller
has despaired of getting the Office because
Of his inability to give the necessary
bond, and it is thought that the depart
ment at Washington, when informed of
his character, would not trust the official
business with one whose reputation for
integrity is not better than that of Wal
ler's. Mackey's effort TO make Waller

surveyed along ts entire proposed route,
which extends from Aiken, S. c., to
London, Ky, n distance of more than 100
miles in almost an airline. In 1882 the
company WAS formed by the consolida-

corporations in the State OF South and
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Ken

the live companies being transferred TO
the consolidated company. The stock
holders of The consolidated railway are

MES. a majority Of the stock is held in
south Carolina, has been nearly all paid
up, and has been expended in surveys
aud construction in this State. Of the
. miles of the South Carolina division
of the railway fifty miles are graded.

that q sharp encounter occurred between

the course Of which the South Carolina
Senator delivered some vigorous blows to
the Vermonter, aud out of which Mr..
Edmunds, as II is said, did not come with
flying colors. Senator Edmunds made an
unjust and unjustifiablo attack upon Mr..
Youmans, of South Cerolina, for his
conduct In the late election cases at
Columbia, to which Senator Butler re-.
sorted that lfr. Youmans was the equal
Of the Senator In ability as lawyer and

In forum, where Mr.. Youmans could
not defend himself, was unworthy any

The Free Schools.

AIR. EDITOR: | was glad TO see the
communication Of w. n. M. ou the
above subject in your las: issue. Surely
every citizen Of our County should feel
deep in:eres: 10 it. The character Of
the next generation will depend upon
the "raisiny" Of the children Of the
present time. The schools that children
attend is n very important part Of their
raising.
The man who has wealth elcyatcs his
own children by elcyating those Of his
neighbors.
Since insufficient pay drives talent
into other callings, and puts incilicicn,
teachers over the schools, and thus make.
poor schools, desire most modestly to
bring TO the notice OF the Trustees Of
our County plan, not original with me,
by which ten per cent. viii be added to
the salaries of many Of them. have
been informed that pendlcton Trustees
pay as they 90. The plan is this:
Let teachers be paid out Of the public
school funds from November lit until
March 3lst. Then let patrons pay for
Summer schools until enough money
has been saved to pay teachers cash. 1t
seems to me that this plan would injure
no one; and needy teachers would not
then sell their claims for ninety cents on
the dollar, thus reducing their mcagrc
salaries and making tho rich richer, end
the poor poorer.
] hope our worthy trustees will think
of this suggestion along with those ol
