EXCELSIOR NOTES.

H. NJ. Singiey and Co., are now
ginning cotton at their old stand at
home.
Misses Alice and Sallie Kibler, of
Newberry, have been on afeW days visit
to relatives in this community.
Mr.. James d. kinard and sister,
Miss jamie, spent few days oflast
week with relatives in the Saluda
neighborhood.
Rev. w. w. McMorries filled his re-
gular appointment at the academy on
Sabbath afternoon and the attendance
was very good.
We have been having some warm
weather and cotton is opening rapidly.
The cotton crops will fall rather short
in this community to what was once
expected but still we are all happy and
cheerful and so mote it be.
This is an of year in politics but it
seems the grind rock is kept turning
and political schemes slowly grinding.
Our farmers are not interested in the
third party movement but think it
enough to keep the other machines
running. Let Us have peace and more
brntherIy love.
We learn that another one Of our
young men will enter Newberry Col
lege at the opening of next session.
Newberry College is a tlourishing insti-
tuition, and we hope to hear of more Of
our young men entering her walls
seeking an education. Our quiet little
community can boast Of as quiet set
of young men as any other in the coun-
ty and an education will give no young
man the "big head" if be has the
proper training before hand and enough
cultivated brain to govern his footsteps
in life afterwards. Would that every
young man could receive thorough
education.
Last Wednesday we had the pleasure
of attending the closing exercises of
Miss Cora Dominick's school at ST.
Paul's academy. At 1896 a. m. the
exercises commenced and were opened
with prayer by the Rev. D. G. Phillips
of Prosperity after which followed
speeches and dialogues Of all varieties
the names of pupils and subjects being
announced by our worthy school COM
missioner, Mr.. Arthur Kibler. These
people seem to feel deep interest in
their school and in the educational
welfare of their children at large. They
always employ first-class teachers
hence they run a first-class school.
Such exhibitions are complimentary
to teacher, pupils and community at
large. In the afternoon addresses were
made by the Rev. Mr. Phillips, School
Commissioner kibler and Mr.. +. w.
Higgins. These addresses we're all
Interesting and listened to with marked
attention. The music furnished for the
occasion by Miss Connie Kibler on the
organ and Messrs. Andrew Kinard and
James D.~Kinard on the violin added
4Aalaeh to the exercises Of the day. Thus
passed away another pleasant day for
st. Paul's school and one that will not
soon be forgotten. SIGMA.

MR.. POLK'S DENIAL.
The Alliance President Take About the
Recent Stories No Truth in the Tar and
Feather Report-He Did Not Apollo
gIze for Being Confederate.

Especial to Augusta Chronicle.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Col. l.. l..
Polk, the high priest of the Alliance
order, is back in Washington from his
Western trip. To the inquiry as to
what foundation there was to the re-
port that he was threatened with tar
and feathers by Kansas veterans, he
said there was nothing whatever IN the
story; as to the dispatches charging
that be apologized in his speeches for
having gone into the Confederate ser
vice and spoke approvingly Of q strike
among the cotton pickers of fthe South,
Polk said: "Itis absolutely and unquall-
tiedly false in every particular. l
uttered no sentiment in Kansas or
elsewhere, which By any forced con-
struction could have been contorted into
any such expression. 1t is a lie out
Of the whole cloth. have never uttered
sentiment in Northern state l would
not willingly repeat in any Southern
state. AS to the strike of the cotton
pickers I mad heard nothing about 1t
until my return to this Office"

A GENTLEMAN AND A CHRISTIAN.
That is What the Rev. Dr. Lacey says of
Col. Polk.

NORFOLK, Va. Sept. l9.-The Rev.
DR.. William S. Lacy, the distinguished
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church of this city, published the follow
ing letter in defence Of Colonel Polk:
II know Colonel Polk well. We were
fellow students at college and IN some
of the same classes. His age is nearer
fifty-six than thirty-siX. He is certainly
past fifty. He was soldier in the
Confederate service, a lieutenant in one
of the regiments of the North Carolina
State troops. My impression is that
he attained no higher rank than that
of lieutenant and that his title Of colo
mel is post bellum honor.
II know he was never governor of
North Carolina (those Kans IS people
are easily gulled) and could never have
given an order for the maitreatment of
Federal prisoners. If be did aught of
the kind, as alleged, he did it as SOL
dier under orders. Whatever view may
be taken of Colonel Polk's political
affiliations, he is a gentleman and a
Christian"

We publish this week an article
from "H." Just what he is driving at
We do not exactly understand. He
starts out about the "two-percent-
ers," and then he gets off into the
"bailiwick OF inutilitarian repose",
whatever or wherever that may be.
He then informs US that no comfort is
to be taken from the "pickeninical'
efforts of "traitors" such as Hall and
McAllister, and finally tells US that
when the majority speak there will
be unanimity." For aught We know he
may be giving The Herald and News
hail Columbia" but really we have
lot the time to consult our dictionary
as r::uch as would be necessary to find
out the depth and the width of all
these things. And then, too, several
other authorities would have to be con-
suited to reach the final conclusion,
so, "where ignorance is bliss, it is folly
to be wise" and as we know "H'' is a
good friend of ours We take it for
granted thatit is "the other fellow" he
is driving at.

publicly abusing and deuouncing
newspapers and misstating the facts:
What does he expect to gain by it:
This newspaper has no axe to grind
and its editor is not seeking political
preferment by the votes of the people.
How many Of the ''leadeTs" of the
Alliance can say the same?
Let Mr.. Keitt stick to the truth. Let
him point out any utteranee of this
newspaper "hostile to the Alliance" or
where it has been unfair to him or to
any one else, and we..will at once make

It is the private boarding of money
that contracts the circulation. Banks
are organized for the purpose Of putting
money out. No bank tries to with
hold its capital from business, but there
is millions of money.withheld from cir,
culation by miserly individuals who
are afraid to trust banks or any one
with the golden eagles that they wor-
ship-Pickens Sentinel.
And how are you going to prevent
them from boarding it? 1t would be
interesting to know just how much
money is kept from circulation by pri'
vate individuals.

The Herald and News desires to say
that its report of the speeches at Pros
perity, in the Butler-Stokes debate,
while not stenographic, was substan-
TALLY correct. We say this because The
Herald and News' report of that "third
class of borrowers" over which there
has been so much dispute, has been
used by the press. AS we understood
it, General Butler said on that point
substantially what we reported him as
saying.

A Word to Parents.


Ex-Warden Brush, Of Sing Sing Prison
says:
"0ften have been asked what are the
causes, or what is the particular cause
that sends most Of our men TO prison.
have Of late years invariably answered
Tie want Of family discipline
''The indulgence Of the father or moth
er who allow the child TO grow up with
out any discipline to form character,
leads almost inevitably to evil ways, and
consequently TO prison.
Parents are also responsible for the
waywardness of their children, which
leads them into crime, from practice Of
deceiving them.
The intelligent child, when deceived
by its parents in small things, is likely
to form evil habits which IN its future
viii not be easily eradicated.
This cannot be better illustrated than
by the growth Of fruit and other trees.
If they are allowed in the first year Of
their growth to become crooked, distort-
ed and out Of shape, it is found nearly or
quite impossible in later years to bring
them into symmetry and to make perfect
trees Of them.
'So with the child. Its early training
lasts for lifetime, and unless there are
elements in its character and viii power
to correct its evil bringing up, it naturally
grows worse and worse as it grows older. "
