The Earth Trembles.

RUsK, TEXAS, January 9.-On Wed
nesday night this town and its vicinity
experienced at least two we'll defined
shocks, believed to have been of seri-
Gus nature. Each paroXysm was ac-
conpanied by Il detonation, loud and
long, as if rolling from south to north.
Several chimneys were levelled with
the earth, and sleepers in various por-
tions of the toWii were shaken into
wakefulness.
J. w. McCord, who is in charge of
the county Jail, very strong structure,
declares that for fully one minute he
appreheuded the collapse Of the build
ing, and Thomas Miller says that the
Acme Hotel was shaken to its founda-
ton during these disturbances. There
was no wind, though slight rain was
falling and some electrical force was
prevailing, but not ofsuficient strength
to produce the shock. A few persons
here who went through the Charleston
shock of1SS6 pronounced the phenome-
non Of last night a genuine earth
quake.

About Mules.

We do not propose to write treatise
on the mule, for we don't know much
about him. But there is one thing
we would like to know, and that is
what becomes of all the young mules
that are brought to Newberry every
spring? The census tells US that the
population of people in Newberry
County has decreased since 1880, but
of one thing we feel almost sure and
that is that the population of mules
has increased unless the death rate is
fearful. Why is it? Car load after
car load Of mules is brought here every
spring and they are sold to the farmers
and at good prices. This thing Of
buying 50 many mules every year is a
great tax upon our farmers and the
money goes out of the country. 1t
takes nearly five bales of cotton to buy
good mule. Most of our farmers
could raise q good mule for less money
than they pay for one. 1t is matter
they ought to think about. Our farm
ers can't stand this continual drain
upon them. If you will take the ad-
vice OF u man who never owned a
mule because he never had any use for
one, you will take care of your mules
when YOU get them aud raise more
yourselves.

a Protest.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News:-We noticed in your last issue
that the Opera House store was to be
rented for the purpose of barroom.
We protest against this use of build
ing paid for by the taxes Of Christian
temperance citizens, whom we believe
to be largely in the majority as to the
sentiment regarding this matter.
There is view of this thing which
should be strongly presented to our
city fathers. Newberry College Com
mencements are always held in this
building. A nobler body of young gen.
tlemen cannot be found. Their sobriety
and law-abiding conduct places them
above criticism, and it is poor COM
pliment to them that they should make
their de6M in life above barroom, or
environed by an evil that they, by
their lives, neither condone nor coun-
tenance.
For this one reason, if no other, this
house should be kept sacred forever
from this curse Of our community.

Another Store Robbery.

Only short time ago we made men-
ton of the fact that two stores were
broken into at Chappells. This time
the robbery is at Saluda Old Town.
On last Friday night the store of
Geo. r. Reid & Co., at Saluda was en-
tered and few goods taken and the lit
tie money that was in the cash drawer
the whole being but a trihe-about
81 in money pistol or two and some
pocket knives being all that was missed.
The entrance was made by prizing up
the floor. On the same night the store
of Mr.. w. H. Sanders was also entered
and about s. in money aud a few other
things taken therefrom. Mr.. Sanders
store is about miles from Saluda near
Spearman's.
Mr.. w. \. Hill began to investigate
and on Monday he had warrant
taken ont for one John Piester a negro
boy who lives on Mrs. Paysinger's
place about five miles from town.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
school Districts.

There has been a great deal said with.
in the last few years about school dis.
! tricts. In many counties of the State
special districts have been formed, and
j a specla! tax has been levied for the
! support Of schools in these districts.
50 fai as we know, these special dis
! trictS have given satisfaction, not uni
verSally but generally.
During the last session Of the Gene
raj Assembly of the State a bill was
introduced by representative Evans, of
Aiken, providing for the redistricting
Of every county in the State. By some
means or other the bill was passed by
and did not receive much attention.
Matters of more Importance had to be
attended to. The bill may come up at
the next session of the General Assem-
bly, and It may not.
There is y law on the Statute books,
made by the Legislature of 1889, which
gives to any community, in any county,
the right to form itself into separate
district. The law further gives the
right to the freeholders in these dis
trlcts to levy tax not exceeding two
mills on the dollar, to supplement- the
constitutional tax. The voter has the
privilege Of saying to what school his
money shall be applied-the special tax.
1t seems to us, therefore, that We
have all the law that is necessary, and
the question to be considered is:
"Would it he best to redistrict the
county?'
In changing the districts they would
be made in such a way that only one
white and one colored school could be
located III e'ch district.
We do not propose to discuss the
plan, but will wait until after the meet
ing of the Teachers Association on the
18th Saturday in January.
The question will come up at the
teachers meeting, and it is hoped that
every one interested in the subject will
be present. 1t is not expected that
teachers only will be present, but trus-
tees and all others interested in their
county's prosperity are invited.
Last Saturday was an unusually dis
agreeable day, and on this account
there was no meeting of the Associa-
ton. The committee have decided to
hold the next meeting on the 9th day
of January. The programme for the
last meeting will be continued at the
next.
Arithmetic-Prof. Hunter, of the
NeWberry Graded School.
Should the school districts Of the
County be made smaller?-A member
of the County Board of Examiners.
Teachers should endeavor to attend

Let us all try to make the 9th an I'M
portant and interesting day for teach
ers and all others that may come.

The National Democrat.

Which was established in Washing
ton one year ago by Edmund Hudson,
with the endorsement Of many of thv
great leaders of the party, has entered
upon its second year with circulation
of 10000 copies each week. This is
perhaps the largest circulation ever
attained by weekly newspaper during
the first year of its existence. The
National Democrat occupies a field OF
its own, and one that too long remained
untitled. 1t gives complete record of
political information, including the
most important speeches that are de-
livered by democratic leaders in Con-
gress and on the stump. 1t is rendering
the party an important service, ant
should be read by all who wish to keep
fully informed in regard to public
affairs and who mean to defeat the
wicked scheme of the Republican
leaders to secure permanent control OF
the Government, in spite of the fact
that they are, and must remain, the
minority party in this country.
