The Teachers Association.

The Teachers Association Of New
berry County met at the Graded school
building and was called to order 10y
Mr.. Thos. w. Keitt. Eight new men,
bers handed in their names and were
enrolled. Mr.. Killer coming in the
chair was turned over to him and the
regular order of business continued.
The first subject, ''School Journals a
help in school work." was opened by
Prof. w. X. Sligh, and ELECTED lively
discussion, which was participated in
by number of teachers. Mr. A. e..
Jones was present and was called on
by the chair for his views. He re-
sponded in a short and pointed talk
favoring the judicions use Of the journ-
ais. The overwhelming verdict of the
association was that school journals are
indispensable to the primary teacher.
The second subject, The necessity Of
teachers preparing each recitation,
was opened by Mr.. Thos. W. Keitt.
Mr.. Kibler followed in few remarks.
The necessity is so apparent that very
little discussion was needed.
Two of the teachers appointed to
read papers were absent.
The prospects for the incoming
scholastic year are fine. We cauld see
earnestneSs and determination to i'm
prove reflected in the faces of the
teachers. The association intends to
hold the educational banner OF New
berry County aloft, so that it may be-
seen afar and serve as a beacon to guide
US, and others along the progressive
road of learning. r. w. X.

OUR DEAD.

Bill Arp writes an interesting letter
this week. He talks about our dead
on the battlefelds Of Virginia and the
cemeteries there. He speaks particu-
larly of the one near Charlottesville at
the University. He says these graves
have not been neglected, but that telp
is needed to keep up the shrubbery
and the other necessary repairs. No
doubt it is true and we should give
that help and give it cheerfuliy.
The past summer when we were in
Virginia We visited the "Stonewall'
cemetery at Winchester. There lie
several hundred of our dead. A mar
bic slab marks each grave and wherever
known the name, age and date of death
are marked on them, but on many of
these marble slabs is simply the word
"unknoWn.D Each State has lot or
square for its own dead. In the South
Carolina square were many familiar
names-names Of our own people in
Newberry. When we walked through
this silent city of the dead and saw
only four planks nailed together in
place of monument, on four sides of
which were the words ''South Caro-
limo" to designate that that was the
South Carolina lot, while other States
had beautiful marble shafts, we felt
like coming home and raising-not
trying to-but raising money to erect a
suitable monument to our dead in this
cemetery. 1t ought to be done. South
Carolina ought to have that old plank
monument taken down and a suitable
one built there.
We wish some one would suggest
how to have it done. Ifyou are true
son or daughter of Carolina and ever
visit this cemetery you will feel just as
we did.
Georgia, Virginia, Maryland and we
think Texas all have handsome monu-
ments to mark their squares.
We have been wanting to call atte:l-
ton to this for some time and Bill
Arp's letter ives Us the opportunity.

TColumbia Record, 18th. -,

Prohibitionists claim that 23,OO0
names have been signed in the State
praying the Legislature to pass pro-
hibition bill Petitions will be circulat-
ed in the city soon. Some counter
petitions are also being circulated in
the State, notably in Charleston. There
is promise of j lively fight when the
measure is brought before the Legisla-
ture.
The fight appropriated by the prohibit
tiouists will be hotly contested by the
ants. Not only is Charleston up in
arms against the proposed law but the
nti-prohibitionists Of this city will
take an active hand in it.
A copy of the Charleston petition
against the proposed law has been re-
celved in the city and it will be circu-
lated here. \ petition of Charleston
parties has also been received praying
the Legislature not to increase the
license. These petitions will be circu-

stirred up by the activity of their op-
ponents and great fight is on between
the contending forces.

SENATOR IREf TALKS
Satisfied the Alliance Men Are All Good
Democrats.
Correspondence Greenville News.

Correspondence Creenville News
LAURENs, S. g., Nov. FL had a
talk with Senator J. l.. NJ. Irby this
morning and he talked very freely of
the many subjects that are Interesting
our people now. When asked who he
thought the Democrats would nomi-
nate for President next year Senator
Irby said:
There 5 not one of the Democratic
candidates more Objectionable TO the
Farmers Alliance than Cleveland on
Guestion, but I am confident he will be
nominated, and when be is / believe
the Alliancemen Of South Carolina will
fall into line and support him almost
to man. There may be a few like
Keitt who will not vote for him, but
they will never amount to much.
THE Farmers Alliancemen Of this
Sta!e are Democrats and they may be
relied upon to vote for the Democratic
nominee, if it is the devil.
They believe in the sub.treaSury
and will co all they can to have it EN-
bodied in the PLATFORM Of the national
Democracy, but if it is not that will
not affect their support Of the nom
ineeS.N
When asked by bystander, an en-
thusiastic Tillmanite, whether those
who supported Haskell last year would
be allowed to vote in the primaries
next year, Senator lrby said that being
chairman of the State executive COM
mittee he must decline to express an
opinion on that ques..on "at this
time" He said that those who voted
for Haskell last year were" "disorganized
Democrats" and at the next meeting
of the executive committe, which he
would call about January lst, they
would decide whether such "dlsor-
ganiZed Democrats" were included in
the definition "all known Democrats"
laid down by the constitutio. of the
Democratic party of South Carolina.
Senator Irby said when asked about
the outlook in State politics next year,
that Tillman had made an excellt Mt
Governor and was entitled to re-
election, and that it did not appear
chat be would have any trouble in get
ting it.
Referring back to the celebrated
"March convention" Senator 1rby said
it was absolutely essential to Tillman's
election and that Tillman would never
have made the race without that NOM
ination, for if he had, it would have
justified all those accusations that be
only wanted office"
Senator Irby said most emphatically
that he did not believe that the farm
ers Ct South Carolina endorsed in the
least the talk of boiling and third
party, so freely INDUCED in by Polk
and Keitt.

night of the 9th day of November,
A. d. 1891, the several houses the prop
erty of w. B. Whitney, in the County
of Newberry, was burned, and there
being reason to believe that the burn

or persons who committed said act Of
incendiarism.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, have

Colony Evangelical Lutheran church
will have Christmas tree during the
holidays-the first in its history. 1t is
now forty-fve years old, having been
built in 1S45, and rebuilt about five
years ago at cost of $1,000. Michael
Fellers, David Cook, John Cook and a
few others were its founde:s-Michael
Fellers being its first trustee. II has
cemetery and school lot attached to it.
The following ministers have served
this church: Revs. Berley, Boinest,
Bailey, Hawkins, Wingard. Bowles
and DR.. Holland, who is its present
pastor.
We look forward to the legislatures
doing something that will nlalk the
destiny of the South for the benefit of
future generations. We are satisfied
that the Newberry delegation will vote
to do away with bar rooms. The man
who votes in favor of the saloon should
be marked as man unfit to represent
cannibals. Men who are determined to
drink can get 1.-The something" pure
from the still and stop this handmade
stuff. No man who counts himself a
good citizen can refuse TO sign the Pc
tition to do away with bar rooms.
They say we will not be able to get the
stuff for medical purposes. We do not
need it. When you find your physl-
clan prescribing whiskey, get one who
does not prescribe it. Liquor doctors
have made more drunkards and cOnse-
quentiy killed more than can be count
ed.
The sowing of wheat and oats prom
ises to be more extensive this year than
formerly.
We enjoyed our trip to the State Fair.
Good order prevailed. and there was
little or no drunkenness and no gam
bling, but plenty of it in the city.
Why does our capital license games of
chance? Will that sort of thing do for
Christian city? To entice and delude
the unsuspecting Farmer-alliance boys?
1t is to be hoped Columbia will do bet
ter in the future. There is certainly
room for improvement. The great Co.
lumbia Club did not get to cut up in
the State House this year. If we Till
man boys had done nothing beyond
routing that club from the State House
it would have been worthy the change.
The State House SEEMS TO be in good
trim. We knew that before we went.
All enjoyed the fair except friend
who lost his pocket book and five dol
lars as he got on the train at $50, but
the pick-pockets got in their best work
on Thursday night.
Rev. Mr.. Orr, Of Huntersville, n. c.,
is conducting meeting at Cannon
Creek A. r. p. Church. His sermons
are the very best that could be offered
! against sin. All sin is handled by him
without gloves. Any one who believes
in tavern license in Newberry should
listen to one of his sermons. If church
elders and members can support IL
censed bar rooms there certainly will
have to be new Bible made for them.

The Presidents Thanksgiving Procama-
ton.

BY the President of the United States,
a Proclamation:
It is very glad incident Of the
marvellous prosperity which has
crowned the year now drawing
to a close that its helpful and re-
assuring touch has been felt by all
ou- eople. 1t has been as wide as our
cou TRY, and so special thai every
home has felt its comforting Influence.
1t is too great to be the work of mans
power and too particular to be the de-
vice of his mind. To God, the benef-
cent and the all-wise, who makes the
labors of men to be fruitful, redeems
their losses by His grace, and the
measure of whose giving is as much
beyond the thoughts of man as it is
beyond his deserts, the praise and
gratitude of the people of this favored
nation are justly due.
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harri-
son, President of the United States Of
America do hereby appoint Thursday,
the 26th day Of November present, to
be q day of joyful thanksgiving to God
for the bounties of His providence, for
GuC pSdCS Ill w lllCll we dle pei lluillCu W
enjoy them, and for the preservation Of
these institutions of civil and religious
liberty which He gave our fathers the
wisdom to devise and establish, and us
the courage to preserve. Among the
appropriate observances of the day are
rest from toll, worship in the public
congregation, the renewal of family
ties about our American firesides, and
thoughtful helpfulness toward those
who suffer lack of the body or Of the
spirit.
In testimony whereof: I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States TO be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
18th day Of November, in the year of
our Lord One Thousand Eight Hun
dred and Ninety-one, and Of the In
dependence of the United States the
One Hundred and Sixteenth.

SAM SMALL ASSAULTED.
An Irate Barkeeper Assaults Him in a
Barber Shop.

ATLANTA, Ga, November 12.-Rev.
Sam w. Small, the well-known evan
gelist, was assaulted in an Atlanta
barber shop to-day by Tom Miner, a
saloon proprietor, who has recently
been made the object Of some very
harsh criticism by Mr.. Small. In a
public speech in Prob! bition Hall, in
this city, Mr.. Small attacked Miner
personally, stating that to sell pop-skull
liquor on Decatur street, he was neg
lecting his wife and children and leav-
ing them in penury and want. He
continued his references to Miner in
this decidedly personal strain. Mr..
Small went into a barber shop to-day
to get shaved, and Miner accosted him,
saying that this was the first time he
had had a chance to see him.
"Do you know who | am, sir?" asked
Miner.
Mr.. Small replied that he did not.
With the statement that ne was Tom
Miner, he assaulted Mr.. Small, broke
his eyeglasses, and knocked out one of
his front teeth. Bystanders immedi-
ately separated them and the trouble
Cti'tSN. 1bSh- WI. ACllldIl Say ~ was
simply brutal attack, and if he had
expected it, he would have been fully
prepared, but was taken completely
unawares. He was not hurt enough to
prevent his appearance at the rally at
Prohibition hall to-night, where he
made speech vigorously assailing the
liquor traffic and sasoon keepers
Minor says Mr.. Small's assault on
him several days ago was entirely un-
provoked and unjustitiahle; that he
did not make it as a minister, but as
campaign stump speaker, and that it
was so outrageousIy unjust to himself
and his family tIat he determined to
resent it as soon as he met Mr.. Small,
which he did to-day.

From an interview with Senator
Irby, State Chairman, it seems the
question Of permitting those who voted
for Judge Haskell last year voting III
the primaries is to be seriously con-
sidered and Senator Irby declines to
give an opinion. 1t would be great
blunder to seriously discuss this ques-
ton and all Democrats who will pledge
to abide tie result of the primary
should be allowed to vote. We think
the movement of Judge Haskell last
year was a mistake, but We want the
Democrats and white men Of South
Carolina " be united and this sort OF
discussion will not tend to that end.

"We anticipate sight of trouble
that never comes.n Very true. In
fact We believe that two-thirds of the
trouble and worry in this world is in
the anticipation of that which never
comes. A good plan is not to cross the
bridge until you reach it. Another
good and safe rule is never to borrow
any thing, not even trouble.
