The Callto the School Trustees.

We are pleased to know that the
County Board Of Examiners have is
sued call to the school trustees to
meet in the School Commissioners
office on next Saturday for the pur-
pose of considering the several sub
iects included in the call. There is
no doubt that if all the trustees will
attend this meeting, resolved to do
whatever is best to improve the work
ings of the school system, much good
will result.
In some townships one practice
prevails; in other townships a differ
ent practice is followed. Some
frst-gradc teachers receive a certain
compensation; others, a different
compensation. In some districts
comfortable houses have been provi-
ded; in others, more inconvenient
and uncomfortable buildings could
hardly be found anywhere. Some
trustees have taken the pains to as
certain the needs of their schools.
others apparently have given the
subject very little thought.
i free conference will expose til"
mistakes of some. and give promi-
nencc to the progressive movements
Of others; and all the trustees may
find it profitable to know each other
better. One Of the difficulties to be
encountered, in the efforts now max
ing to improve our educational Sys-
TEN, is the want Of intimacy among
teachers and trustees Of the different
townships. The Teachers Associa-
ton hopes 10 unite the teachers in
one common effort to improve their
methods Of instruction; the approach
ing meeting Of trustees should unite
these officers in the determination to
supply our school rooms with the
best appliances their means will al
low.
The subjects TO he discussed are
pointed; the necessity to have greater
uniformity in school work is urgent;
conferences of school trustees are
practicable; and the need Of advance
ment along the whole line Of school
work is felt. We shall expect this
movement to be fruitful.

About Reading Decimals.

ly tc attract attention.
Take q few examples as illustra-
tons. Suppose we are required to
read the number GSi. Ninety-nine
Of every ore hundred persons would
read S;.a humdred dnd eigttyJo"r.
Well. if this were all, one could rot
easily sustain any objection. But
suppose We are required to read .6S4
and G00.QS4. In the first instance, we
commonly read $ic hunn1ct1 nad ciyhty-
J0ar 0ae.thoAsuadths; in the second in
stance. sir hue0red and eightg:tO'r
0ae-thousaadths. Now, by having the
combinations Of figures before us,
we know in a given case, to which we
refer.
Let us reverse the case. Write sir
hunt5rcN und eightytow oae'tho"-
setndths. We write il thus: GOO.0S4.
Some one else writes .GS4, and Is as
confident Of the correctness OF ht$
form as we are Of ours. Now, in 4
given case, which form is correct?
1t is absolutely impossible to tell.
Why? Because the word a,l is care
lessly anil inaccurately used.
There is l simple remedy, how
ever, and it is strange that so few
teachers require their pupils to OBJ
serve the proper use of this highly
important conjunction in reading
decimal fractions.
The rule is to use AND only IN Te0l-
tay tie decimal point. Thus, 6OO.Oo4
is read sic hunelre1 and eighty;tow
ore M9usundths; .6S4 is read sir hnn-
d''ecl eightg:toHr onetho"sandth$. We
use ond when. in reading the first
number. we reach the decimal point.
AS the second number is entirely
decimal al-!ractional we need rot use
und. Never use U1d unless the num-
Der has an integral and q fractional
part. Thus, G.5=GI, and we read
the first sir and fce,ten'hs; the second,

LYNCH LAW.

There are certain crimes which
should receive speedy and certain
punishment. For the punishment Of
such offenders the courts are seldom
called into requisition. The laws
delay and tie many evasions Of JUS
tice. are urged as an excuse for an
outraged community to rise IN its
might IS one man and metc out stern
justice to ali such Offenders. We DO
not advocate lynch law in any form,
but in extreme cases it is probably
excusable. The only difficulty IS.
that when it is sanctioned at ail, the
tendency is that the people become
too ready to take the law into their
own hands and administer it for
smaller offences, and sometimes, in
the heat Of passion and excitement,
they do not wait even long enough to
ascertain with certainty whether they
have the proper person. They feel
that thvy have been outraged and the
life Of some one must be sacrificed.
We have had several cases Of
lynching in this State recently and
the thing is likely to become too fire.
qucnt. Tie hanging Of the negro
boy in Hampton some time ago WAS
not q case Of so serious nature as
to justify such extreme measures
We mention this case simply to show
what the tendency IS if lynch law is
tolerated at all.
The Greeuvilie News Of yesterday
relates the story Of Charles Hawkins
who made telonious assault on .
white lady in Sparlanbnrg several
months ago, and who, with Ed. Bundy,
who was being tried for murder, had
to be slipped away from the Spartan
burg Jail and carried to Columbia to
avoid the mob, and who was recently
slipped back to Greenville; and be-
cause the officers were afraid Of the
lyuchers the trial was removed, with
out any noise over it, to GrcenvllIe,
where Hawkins was permitted to slip
into court and plead guilty and re-
ceive fifteen years in the penitentiary.
The lynchcrs in Spartanburg also
wanted Bundy, who has since been
convicted Of murder. and is now un-
der sentence Of death. It is a sad
commentary on our civilization or on
our courts Of justice, or both, when
an outraged community feel that in
order to have vengeance on tile Grim
inal they must take the law in their
own hands. We confess that the
reading Of this account in the News
yesterday, of the lodging around with
this man Hawkins, sounds very much
to Us like travesty on our courts
and Justice. The slowness Of our
courts in many instances to mete out
Justice to the offender, is no doubt,
in great measure, the cause Of this
state of affairs.

MR.. TILLMAN'S REPLY.

Mr.. TILLMAN'S REPLY.
We publish on the first page Of
this paper Mr.. Tillman's reply TO the
letter of Col. Lipscomb, published
some time ago in regard to the far
mcr's movement and the ''bossing
Of it, and so forth. Mr. Tijlman's
letter was sept to the News and
Courier but as that paper had de-
clined to publish 2Ir. Lipscombs
letter it also declined to publish Mr..
Tillman's reply. The reply was
first published in the Greenville
News last week. AS to the per
sonal hits in the letters, we have no
concern. The readers of the HERALD
AND News now have what both these
gentlemen have to say about each
other, and are left to form their own
conclusions on that part Of the letter.
AS to who IS to be the agricultural
Moses in this movement, if there is
to be one, we have no doubt that the
people will decide that question to
to suit themselves.
But Mr.. Till,aan seeps to have
been aiming his charges more par
ticuiarly at the agricultural depart
ment, than at other officials, and says
he wants to enlarge it and make it
more efficient. The writer has never
believed that the agricultural depart
ment was worth to the State what It
cost the State to maintain it, bat we
will only remark here, that if q lawyer,
or other professional man had dared
to open his mouth as Mr.. Tillman has
on this subject he would have been
= charged as the veriest enemy Of tie
farmer, and as guilty Of almost every
sin in the decalogue.
Mr.. Tillman wants real agricul-
tural college" The place 10 learn
farming is on the farm, we still main
tain, and Mr.. Tillman's agricultural
college and his board Of agriculture
will not be of much benefit to the
large majority of farmers. County
Institutes and township clubs prop
erly organized and managed, VIC
believe would benefit the farmers.
To these the farmers could assemble,
talk over their various modes Of farm
ing, and give each other the benefit
of their successes and failures.
The majority of the people in the
STATE are farmers and they do
govern the State. They hold the
balance of power at the polls and
it is by their, vote that the County
and State officers and Legislators are
chosen. inefficient men have been
-put in Office the farmers must blame
themselves.
But Mr.. Tillmaa winds up by say
ing, IF any county can find better
man who is not farmer than it can
among, farmers of that county send
him. We want the brains and pa
triotism and honesty Of the State to
come,together and take charge of it..
There can be no objection to this
test Of fitness for office. We say if
the convention is to mect let the
best men 60 there ofcourse.
But how about inviting others than
farmers into it?
Tillman says he has some
thing Of Importance to offer the con-
vention when it ASSEMBLIES, and we
await anxiously to see what it is he
is going to offer: He says it is not
called to make "a slate
