THE HERO OF WOUNDED KNEE.
Lieut.. E. \. Darlington Returns Home on
Wounded FurlouGh-After Brief
Visit to his Family. he will Spend
Some Time In Charleston on
Recruiting Service,

SpARrASBURG, March 10.--I.icu;.
=. \. Darlington, Of Arctic and Indian
war fame, passed through here to-day
for his old home in Newberry, where
his family are now residing. He still
wears his arm in a silken sling, where
it has been since he was painfully
wounded by Indians at Wounded Knee
Creek in January last.
Lieut.. Garliugton looks well, but
seemed considerably fatigued from his
long trip across the Plains. He will
stay in Newberry for one week, and
will then go TO Charleston, where he
will stay perhaps for three months. The
objects Of his visit there will be to in
vestigate the advantages possessed by
Charleston as recruiting station. To
this duty he has been assigned by the
war department, and it will take some
time to investigate and report.
At present Lieut.. Darlington is on a
wounded furlough. Speaking Of the
Wounded Knee fight, he said to me
that Capt. Wallace and all the soldiers
acted heroically. Before returning to
his command Lieut.. Darlington will
probably visit his relatives in Laurens
and other counties.-Special 20 News
and Courier.
Lieut.. Earnest Darlington Reached
Newberry on Tuesday night on the
Laurens train, arriving at a. NJ.

NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR.

Some snow and sleet fell here on
Thursday afternoon.
Owing to the season of year our
school remains full.
Sorry to learn that Mrs. Lucy Lake
is again confined to her room very ill.
Mrs. Sallie Kinard is still lying at
her daughters in a low condition. Mrs.
Kinard is an aged lady of eigEty-fve
summers, and there is very little hopes
OF her recovery.
Mr.. James Crosson, of Lewiedale.
spent few days here last week.
Messrs. Edgar and Carol Shealy, Of
st. Paul's community, spent Saturday
night with friends in this neighbor-
hood.
The overseers Of public highways in
this neighborhood are trying to put the
same in better condition this week.
Owing to the abundance of rain it
seems to be difficult matter to i'm
prove the roads much.
Rain. rain! Yes, we have been hav-
ing an abundance Of rain and the aver
age farmer is getting badly behind
With his work. but let us all try to re-
main happy and cheerful.
1t seems strange to see the Anderson
train passing by US this week, as she
now makes her run from Columbia to
Anderson and return each day. Such
a kind act upon the part of the railroad
authorities will certainly be appre-
ciated by the public generally. The
old reliable Laurens also passes through
our quiet little community just the
same.
Married, on last Thursday afternoon,
at Mr.. Henry Smiths residence, by
Rev. J. A. Sigh, Mr.. John G. Griffin
and Miss Rebecca Smith. We learn
the occasion was pleasant one, how
ever only a few invited guests were
present On Friday evening a goodIy
number in this community gathered
together and gave the happy couple
cheering serenade at the groom's resi-
dence near here. which was enjoyed by
both parties. Thus another one of our
young men has joined the matrimonial
tie that binds, and yet there are more
to follow. We wish the happy couple
q long and happy journey through life,
and so mote it be. SIGMA.

Helena Heraldings.

Rev. Mr.. Jacobs sent very pleasant
letter of thanks to the Helena Sunday
school for its contribution to the CIin-
ton Orphanage, mentioned last week.
"La Grippe" has made its appear
ance in our village.
Mrs. Lima Boozer returned to her
home IN the county yesterday from a
visit to the Misses Coppock.
Mrs. A. B. Burn, has returned to
Charleston from a visit to her father
Mr.. William Zobel.
Mrs. Popie Jenkins is on visit to
"the old folks at home.n
We learn from Edgefield that the
historic place, so long asleep in its clas-
sic shades, is now awake, as "a strong
man from Sleep" and is doing Won
derful things. Cot,~ factories, granite
quarries and other industrial enterprises
together with new stores, handsome
private residences and a grand hotel,
will soon convert the village into a city
of beauty and activity.
Edgefeld has always been noted for
the culture, refinement and elegant
hospitality Of its citizens. Her men
have been renowned in war and in the
councils of State; and now that the
sons of worthy sires are about to en-
gage more largely in commercial and
Industrial ventures, we do not doubt
that their talent developed in these
lines will bring them fame and for
tune.
Happening in Edgefcld for single
night, about a year ago, we chanced to
meet q number Of the young men of
the town who were making a sici: CALL
and, were we to express our admira-
ton of them, we should say that VIC
we were simpl y - charmed. Be-
cause CT their handsome appearance?
Yes. But more particularly for their
modest and gentle bearing On return
ing home | asked 4 gentleman Oh The
train if the young men of EdgeGeld
had q special society for culture?
He thought not. Was sure they had 10
y. NJ. c. A, but that they were a
splendid lot CT young fellows.
And now, in addition to all the other
good things that Edgefield is doing,
she has established a Young Mems
Christian Association which already
numbers one hundred and eleven mem
bers!
AS an evidence of the spirit in which
they have gone to work, it is said that
at a recent meeting Of the central asso-
citation it was dotermined to carry the
work all over the County Of Edgefeld
and establish branch Of they. NJ. c.. 4.
at every church, school house and
cross road. This is glorious work.
Though Edgefeld has been late in en-
gaging in such work. she has gone
grandly into the labor, and promises to
transcend them al! and set an example
worthy Of imitation by older aSsocia-
tions. SANS SoUCI.

At the Teachers meeting at Pros
perity on next Saturday the question
of holding an institute this summer
Will be discussed.
We have already had two institutes
IN Newberry County, and those who
have attended feel that they were bene-
fitted.
We want trained teachers in our
schools. We want teachers who under
stand their work, and who are willing
to perform it faithfully. Experience is
a great teacher, it is true, but We can
learn a great deal from the experience
of Others, and this will make cur work
the easier.
If every teacher in South Carolina
could attend training school one year
or more it would be a great help to our
common school system. This cannot
be done, however. For those who
cannot attend these training schools
and they constitute the great majority
the institute is held.
Let US all go to prosperity and give
the association our approval of the in
stitute this summer.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
School Districts.


1t seems that if we are to have the
county cut up into smaller districts we
will be forced to wait until the next
meeting of the General Assembly. The
County Board of Examiners have the
right to form as many districts as they
think proper, but at the same time
they cannot redistrict the county with
out the means to do so. The last ad-
vice that the commissioner has receiv-
ed is that it is doubtful whether n oney
can be used for the purpose without
special legislation.
There are some portions of Newberry
County that could be made into small
districts with great benefit to the
schools. There are other portions
where it would not be Of so much
benefit.
The County Board of Examiners.
however, will entertain propositions
from any community to form itself
into district, should the district to be
formed not injure materially the pros
perity of schools already in operation.

Cold weather has returned, although
the peach trees are in bloom. We hope
the fruit will not be killed this year.
The farmers are at work ploughing

spring sure enough to see the ground
turned up.
Gardens are looking nice. Nothing
up yet, but the seed is in the ground
and will be up soon we hope.
We are on the improve as usual.
Prof. Hawkins has finished his yard
fence and has nice new gate swung
in front. 1t has improved the looks Of
the place, but we don't like to have to
stop to open and shut gate every time
we go to call. He also has had new
dwelling erected on his place. 1t is now
occupied by Rev. Caldwell (colored.)
Mr.. Wicker has fenced in a large field
just above the Half-acre. Really we
are on Il boom.
Our school is getting on nicely. We
are very comfortable in warm weather,
but when cold snap comes we shiver

Two Of our young ladies are st@Iyiug

Mrs. Bedenbaugh, few miles below
Prosperity. We hope she will have a
pleasant visit and return soon, for our
