NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR.

The attendance at school this week
is improving.
The cotton picking season is nearly
over in this section and the price of the
staple don't seem to improve much
Less cotton should be each farmers
motto for another year.
Miss jamie kinard has been on 6
visit to relatives at Prosperity.
Mrs. J. C. Singley and children lef;
ON Saturday to spend few days with
relatives and friends in the Pomarla
neigh borhood.
Quite a Number of US are off this
week for Columbia to take in the State
Fair. We hope all who attend may
enjoy pleasant time in the city and
each one have 8 safe return to thelr
little cottage homes.
Tie old reliable Lanrens now passes
US in the morning going up instead OF
down. Heretofore the schedule was
quite convenient for persons desiring
to spend day in the city, but we still
have the c., y. & L. to fall back on
and we are still happy and cheerful.
Let the change be as it may, we yet
have the old reliable Laurens and al
ways on time.
There will be no preaching in the
Academy on Sabbath afternoon as
the preacher will again be absent at
that time. We learn this change is
caused owing to communion service
to be held at Cannon Creek Church or
that day. The next regular appoint
ment will be 7as heretofore, third Sab
bath afternoon of each month.

Columbians should see that that un-

instead Of 10000 copies, the business
men of Columbia should have had
5000 copies printed for distribution.
1t would nave paid them TO have sent
them to every family in the middle
and up-country.
The change of schedule on the Z. q
G. railroad may suit great many per-
sous, but I want it distinctly u2der-
stood that it does not suit the proprle-
tor of the Prosperity hotel; but then
the officials don't make schedules to
suit private individuals, and we are
calm and serene. The change, how
ever, gives US the bright, crisp, newsy
State at S.25 with which to regale our
selves at the breakfast table. The
twenty-four page issue of The State
yesterday is something altogether new
in journalism in South Carolina, and is
the most wonderful effort of any news
paper in the State.
The long looked for rain is begin
ming to put in an appearance as this
letter closes. May these coasts be well
! soaked. IU-BE.

HIRING THE NORTHERN HEART.
The "Rebel Flag Officially Anthema-
tized by the G. A. r.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. Gen. Pal
mer, commander in chief OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic, has st issued
an order prohibiting G. A. r. members
from marching in professions where
the Confederate flag is carried. The
order says:
You have demonstrated your frater-
nity on numerous occasions, but when
comrades joined in the recent ceremo-
MES in honor of the memory of a patri-
otic Southern journalists and philan-
thropist they found their fraternity
confronted with the "emblem of trea-
son,n which is evidence to you that
there still turks in the hearts of a few
the desire, by the display of that flag,
to the hearts of the young genera
ton of the South to rebellion.
A comrade wearing the badge or
uniform of the order participating IN
any demonstration where the rebel
flag" is displayed, violates his obliga-
ton "to maintain true allegiance to The
United States of America, to honor its
constitution, to discountenance what
ever tends to weaken loyalty, incite
treason or rebellion, and to encourage
universal liberty and justice TO all
mankind" and brings disgrace upon
the order of which he IS member.

From a statement given out by
State Treasurer Bates it is learned that
the income from the phosphate roy
atty will not be very much less than
it was last year. The total amount re-
received from this source last year was
S2s7,OC0. This year SlS4,00O have been
received; this makes a difference in
favor of last year of S53, 900. The loss
from the stopping of the Coosaw COM
pany is not so great after all. 1t must
be remembered, however, that Coosaw
was not shut down until the first of
March and that of the total amount re-
cei7ed Coosaw paid $40, 146, and that
the litigation will cost the State con-
siderable sum, and the lawsuit is not
yet ended.

TIE PIVOTAL STATE.

The New York Press, Republican, IN
an editorial on the recent elections and
speculating as to the probable results
10 1892, says that New York will be the
pivotal State, and that which ever
p,rty carries it in the general election
In 1892. will carry the victory. Or
rather, from its stand point, New YORK
will be indispensable to the Democrats
while it will be possible for the Repuo-
iicans to win without it.
By the new apportionment, If the
States which voted in the last election
vote for the same party in the next
election, the electoral vote will be as

The Poll Tax.

We have no doubt that our poll tax
will be greater this year than in former
years.
The increase is due mainly to the
efforts of school trustees.
The last legislature passed an act re,
quiring school trustees to return all
polls in their districts not otherwise re-
turned.
If all trustees had been as active as
those of few districts, there IS every
reason to believe that tie poll list
would have been increased nearly one
Thousand.
Some who have never paid this tax
will be surpri, ed to find their names on
the Auditors books.
AS the poll tax is for school purposes,
all Interested in school work should be
anxious to see it collected. Il.

Several teachers who have never
taught before in the schools Of our

attractive field.
We invite these teachers to join us in

THE PHOSPHATE ROYALTY.
Official Figures of .the Income OF the
State-Treasurer Bates Gives the
Amount of Royalty Paid to his
ONCE for the Past Year.
1Snecial TO News and Courier. !

Special to News ana COufleT.J
COLUMBIA, Nov. 7.-Inasmuch as
several incorrect statements are going
the rounds of the press reportorally,
editorially, inferentially and otherwise,
as to the phosphate royalty for the last
fiscal year, it is perhaps..an opportune
time that correct statement be furn-
ished.
In the report Of Phosphate Inspector
Jones, which was recently published
in full in The News and Courier, he
put the royalty down at sl79, l66 36.
That is correct, but in commenting on
it the newspapers which have spoken
have confounded the fiscal year with
the ordinary fiscal year, beginning
November l. The report OF Mr. Jones
takes no account, therefore, of about
three months in which royalty has been
paid into the State treasury.
State Treasurer Bates alone knows
what has been paid into the treasury.
He was asked this morning for the
amount of phosphate royalty paid in
for the just passed fiscal year. He not
only furnished the total, but the Item
;,oS aooOunt which is as follows:

St. Luke's Dots.

As alpha" has left these diggins for
some time to come-for seven or eight
months at least, will try to dot a
few "St. Luke's dotes" until he returns
to his old tramping grounds. But l
fear that I cannot fill the bill as re-
porter. I am an altogether new hand
st this kind of business, but will try
to furnish the principal news OF the
vicinity.
Newberry and st. Luke's country
have always beer closely identified in
one respact--being in adjoining town
ships. And now they ale identified in
another respect-at the recent e1amina-
ton of teachers for certificates, of the two
out of nineteen who received first grade
certificates, one is of Newberry and one
of this community. While speaking
of teachers I might add that the one OF
this community that received q first
grade certificate, Mr.. A. E. P. Beden-
baugh. was recently unanimously
chosen as teacher of the Monticello
school, several miles east OF st. Luke 8
church, for the next scholastic year,
without him having made an applica-
ton or having any knowledge Of the
matter whatever until after his election.
Notwithstanding the complimentary
manner in which be was chosen, be de-
clined, as wished to attend college.
Cotton is about all gathered. The
crop is not as good as it was last year.
This ha. been very suitable fall for
gathering the staple, and the quality
is good.
Rain is needed. 1t is too dry to so Y
grain.
Rev. a. G. Voigt, Of Newberry COL
lege, preached at St. Luke's Sunday.

2nd of November. Mr.. H. H. Rikard
is the teacher.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
Letter Writing.

The following letter is from bright
eyed boy of eight years, whom it was
my happy privilege to teach about five
months, and whirh "little man" was
my body guard to and from school:
"Dear Aunt Lidie: I am so sorry you
are not coming back to teach me, for l
love you more than 1 can any other
teacher. You must come to see US
again. With all my love, I am your
little man. FERD. ANDREWS"
While this little fellow is far above
the ordinarily bright child in mental
endowments; yet his degree of progress
is a fair specimen, Of what may be ac-
complished in an ungraded country
school, so much of which depends
npon the cooperation of the mother,
and this goes far towards establishing
that beautiful relationship which
should always exist between pupil and
teacher. ;. +. ~.

The Session Before Us.

The public schools Of our county are
soon to open again. Teachers have had
a long vacation. Some of them have
had six months rest, and these surely
ought to be ready, willing and even
anxious to begin>their work once more
In beginning this session each teacher
ought to feel, and ought to be better
prepared than when she began a year
ago. If she is not, if she has made nc
mprovement, then not only she, but
her pupils as we'll, are to suffer in con-
sequence.
Our teachers should not 60 into the
school room this year in al uncon-
cerned and Indifferent way, but should
be actuated by such enthusiasm as they
never felt before. They should not
think solely of the small salaries they
are to receive, they should not be
prompted by merely personal and sell
fish motives but they should feel also
that they are to develop and elevate
those committed to theirscare. 1fthere
be nothing higher in the teachers
mind than the pay she is to get, if she
is to feel no real, deep interest in the
progress of the chileren, then she must
end in complete failure.
Our teachers Lave great work before
them. They are to be the trainers Of
the future citizens of our country, and
how careful and how much in earnest
then ought they to be. There is great
responsibility resting upon teachers
And although their reward may not be
so great in dollars and cents, yet they
will have their reward-the praises and
honors of grateful people.
The teachers of Newberry County
may we'll be proud of the reputation fol
earnestnsss and devotion to duty thai
they have in other parts of the State
The Superintendent of Education has
spoken we'll of them, praise which we
hope they have justly merited:
Teachers, let US remember the great
work before US, and when the coming
session shall have closed, let US en-
deavor to make it close with brighter
prospects than ever before. X.

On the same basis the Republicans
will have 269 votes and the Democrats
IT'S.
But if the Democrats carry Indiana,
Iowa and New York, as they probably
will, the vote will stand 2Ss for the
Democrats and 205 for the Republicans.
If the Democrats also carry Massachu-
setts and Michigan this would give the
Democrats 26S and the Republicans It's.
All these States have recently gone
Democratic, but there may be some
doubt about what they will all do in a
Presidential election.
The Press thinks that Michigan will
not be unit in the choice of its cleo
toral college and says that the Demo-
Gratis can only secure S Of its IA cleo
toral votes.
Leaving New York out Of the calcu-
lation and giving the Democrats Indi-
ana, Iowa and votes in Michigan the
electoral college would stand, Republi-
can, 1877; Democratic, 2ll; necessary to
choice, 22s
The Press concludes its observations
as follows:
'sThe thirty.six electoral votes OF
New York added to the Democratic
column would then elect Democratic
fn
in the Republican column they insure
Republican success with 10 TO spare,
even if Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, New
Jersey and Connecticut all choose
Democratic electors. If Indiana and
Iowa are Republican the Democrats
may carry New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Michigan Is votes) and
sill the sure Democratic States and still
lose!
"In other words, New York will be
:he piuotdL 02,7aocr0tic State, without
which a Democratic President cannot
be elected. The great battle Of 1892 is
likely to be won within ten miles OF
the Press Office.
"And what Republicans should set
about doing at once is to find the man
who, as a Presidential candidate, can
most certainly carry tine Empire State:
These figures may be beinteresting. Of
course at this time it is difficult to even
conjecture on results. Much depends
on what the next Congress may do and
who the candidates are. The Repub-
licans are somewhat at g loss for a
proper candidate to put forward. The
indications now are that Harrison or
Mckinley will be the Republican can
didate with the chances in favor Of
Mckinley.
Cleveland will very probably be the
Presidential candidate Of the Demo
Gratis and with good strong man from
the West he will win.
